A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
Barr was there but the Democrats only wanted to make speeches and wouldn’t let him answer. The phrase of the day is “I reclaim my time.” made dozens of times to prevent Barr form answering the thousand word “questions” posed to him.
You Democrats should watch this and then go hang your heads in shame.
Chesapeake schools are reopening online only, but their remote learning plan is totally unworkable. 4 45 minute online sessions spread through the day. So, we might as well homeschool the grandkids until things are back to normal.
Anyone have any experience with that, or have a recommendation for a package, preferably not a church based system.
Some cynics would say this: “Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement Monday that a provision to expand deductions for meals and entertainment would be “the latest example of a tax provision tailor-made to benefit the Trump family finding its way into major tax legislation.”” And they could be accurate.

Yascha Mounk, founder of a new Liberal blog, Persuasion, uses George Orwell’s defense of P. G. Wodehouse to call on all to stop the madness.
His closing paragraph is telling: “The obligation to stand up for the wrongly accused—even or perhaps especially when they are imperfect—remains as important now as it has ever been. So I shall do my best to live up to the example Orwell set in much more perilous times. And I hope that you will, too.”
The people spreading this incredible sewage are having a ball. That people believe it is just mind boggling.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that social distancing, masks and avoiding indoor crowds are the best methods to deal with transmission of the COVID virus.

When tens of thousands of 2nd Amendment supporters went to Richmond, no windows were broken, no arson was committed, no one was harmed or threatened, and we didn’t leave behind so much as a gum wrapper, but Northam declared an emergency, closed streets and parking, and even had snipers on the rooftops.
But not a bit of State preparation for the destruction, arson, and attacks on the Richmond police.
Apparently Northam doesn’t understand the difference between a protest and a riot.
I remain shy about claiming Sweden’s Covid-19 response has been a success. Maybe we’ll know for sure a year from now, or a year or two after that.
Nevertheless, it is hard to argue with Sweden’s death chart that tops the article. As a bonus, the piece reveals New York Times failures in reporting the Swedish experience. The juxtaposition is between Nature and artifice.
It is now clear, and documented, that the Russia/Trump collusion story was a full-blown hoax, wrongly created, then unethically and illegally sustained. All that remains is the tin-struck reverberation of cognitive dissonance among those who persist in believing that something, somehow, was true about it.
