Quarantine

Is Pence now in charge of the Executive Branch?

Cancel the next two debates.

The debates are a national security risk for the bad behavior of Trump, but, also his yelling could have released SARS-CoV-2 on the entire room including Joe and Jill Biden. 

It was a high statistical probability Trump could carry the virus to the debate. He does nothing to protect his health and thinks nothing of infecting anyone else.


This is a dangerous virus.

The debates are a gathering that is now also a dangerous gathering. From here going forward either cancel the debates or make them completely virtual. Too much is on the line and Trump does not respect the safety of others.

Abbott has written an illegal order to close drop boxes for federal ballots.

A million reasons, but, let's start with the SARS-CoV-2 health emergency. It is putting voters into one spot to deposit votes. That is unhelpful. 

Then there is the federal judge that ordered the US Post Office to replace all the infrastructure it removed. 

Then there is the blatant disregard for the INTEGRITY of the 2020 election during a global pandemic. This is an attempt to suppress the vote. It is obvious and blatantly wrong. Such changes need to be made far in advance of the election. This is blatant tampering with the 2020 elections.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, (click here) a Republican, ordered counties to stop accepting hand-delivered absentee ballots at more than one location, issuing a proclamation that could make it harder for residents to vote early.

The proclamation, which goes into effect Friday, modifies part of Abbott's July 27 order that added six days of early absentee voting in the state in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fellow Republicans in Texas are challenging the additional early voting days in court.


After concerns were raised about the reliability of the U.S. Postal Service, voters have increasingly indicated a desire to use drop-off sites to ensure that votes are counted while avoiding the possible crowds on Election Day.

Abbott said he issued the new order to ensure the security of the ballots, which President Donald Trump has questioned as Americans have embraced early and absentee voting in response to the pandemic. Trump has sought to sow distrust about the outcome of the election by casting doubt, without evidence, on the integrity of the system....

I am surprised. Is it possible Texas is expected to turn blue by the Trump campaign? These are very desperate measures.

President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden neck-and-neck in Texas. But some Democrats have questioned whether the national party has bought into the idea that Texas is the biggest battleground state.

The Republican National Committee has sent three times more money to Texas than the Democratic National Committee—$2.4 million to $795,899—according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Beto O’Rourke, the former presidential candidate and most popular Democrat in the state, has repeatedly urged the Biden campaign to take Texas seriously. A poll released on Tuesday by UMass Lowell found Trump ahead of Biden 49-46 in Texas, within the margin of error....

Joe, put on your cowboy boots, load up help for those effected by the Global Pandemic and head to El Paso where Beto has a great constituency.

Then again construction boots might be just as good. Don't forget the baseball cap! Looks good!

Any lawsuits against the former Governor Snyder needs to secure his assets until the cases are decided.

Yes, that is a very vicious observation. But, what he did was far more vicious.

Ann Arbor — Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (click here) and wife Sue have put their downtown digs up for sale.

The couple loves downtown and their condo, but they want to live closer to their children, said longtime assistant Allison Scott, who said they’re remaining in the area.

Their elegant, 4,644-square-foot condo at 211 S. Main St. is now listed for $2.35 million through Dresch & Restrick Realtors with Keller Williams Ann Arbor.


Coney-Barrett is distanced by "People of Praise" religious group. Really?.

She is an extremist and holds radical views that will cause peril to women in the USA. Don't expect Trump to withdraw her nomination because he believes women are not equal partners in marriage. He believes his wife has to submit to his will. That is very obvious.

People of Praise amount to what is considered a CLUB for Christians. I would like to know why she belonged to this group for so long. This type of club is my pet peeve because they are not religiously sanctioned. The Roman Catholic Church has parishes organized by the leadership of a Bishop. There are no clubs within the Catholic Church, there are churches and the social groups that exist within that church.

All these crackpot groups try to have political clout in carrying on about strict religious standards that are supposed to be exhibited by elected officials. It is nonsense and only matters because of enough amounts of money to assist in elections like the Federalist Society and/or because citizens believe these groups are important to their worship.

When a so-called religious group comes out to leverage the negative opinion of people running for office, they are doing so without any authority. They are nothing more than clubs that like to follow religious tradition in their meetings and priorities.

The government of the United States of America is not affiliated with a religious organization. The Evangelicals have a huge covet of the USA, but, they are not an official religion. Where Barrett gets it wrong is that her personal view, both about her judicial review (professional) and personally of religious bias should matter within the freedoms of the USA Constitution.

I don't think so.

She will no doubt seek to hide that predilection in words in any document she produces within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Monitoring her is going to be interesting, but, if she continues to seek to undermine THE RULE OF THE MAJORITY it will be caught. It is no joke to attempt within a federal authority to undermine the USA Constitution.

A tiny religious organization (click here) tied to Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee, sought to erase all mentions and photos of her from its website before she meets with lawmakers and faces questions at her Senate confirmation hearings.

Barrett, a federal appeals judge, has declined to publicly discuss her decades-long affiliation with People of Praise (click here), a Christian group that opposes abortion and holds that men are divinely ordained as the “head” of the family and faith.

Former members have said the group’s leaders teach that wives must submit to the will of their husbands.

A spokesman for the organization has declined to say whether the judge and her husband, Jesse Barrett, are members....
