A series of new tweets on Memorial Day weekend paints Scarborough with phony conspiracies including that he might have had an affair. I thought it was supposed to be a joke like the pedophilia slurs against Mr. Biden. Ha, ha…no?

Trump wants a packed GOP convention in August. Threatens NC with venue change.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/25/politics/trump-threatens-charlotte-republican-convention/index.html
The idea of packing 10’s of thousands of Republicans from all over the country into a convention hall seems a bit cavalier in the face of a pandemic.

Not a “Happy” holiday
One of my friends wished us all a happy Memorial Day. Memorial Day is not a ‘happy’ holiday, it is a day for honoring those who have died serving our country.
The best way to honor them is to resolve to not send another generation to the other side of the world to fight stupid, useless, endless wars that only plant the seeds for the next war.
An interesting read from the current administration’s Council on Economic Advisors.

About that Michigan Dam disaster
The private operator has been blamed by Michigan authorities for the collapse of two dams that resulted in widespread destruction of property.
But it turns out that the owners recognized the hazard and had begun lowering the water levels to prevent the collapse. Then, Michigan’s Attorney General sued the operator to compel them to return the water levels to normal because lowering the levels was killing fresh water mussels.
Once again, wacko Democrat environmentalists put a dubious environmental agenda (the mussels, and everything else in the lakes are dead anyway) ahead of human lives and property.
Herd immunity may come sooner than expected
Nic Lewis’s math is usually pretty solid. I hope he’s right.
The gist is that the current models that say we need 60-80% infection to reach herd immunity assume that we are all alike and in a homogeneous society, but we aren’t.
We aren’t all equally susceptible nor are we socially integrated. The same people who attend raves do not go to NASCAR races.
So, he predicts herd immunity will kick in at under 25%.
A major culprit: The Europe travel restriction and the chaos.

Northam hints at requiring masks
Northam has hinted that he will issue an order Tuesday requiring the wearing of masks in public places.
It disgusts me that he is probably right.
Northam sabotages private sector health care
Veto of SB 861, Association Health care plans
One of the reasons for the difficulty people have finding affordable health care insurance is that small employers such as dental offices, HVAC companies, realtors and photography studios can’t offer their employees insurance plans competitive with major corporations.

“State TV” isn’t “State TV” enough for Mr. Trump
Watch for lots more “pops” to OANN. Or for Fox to capitulate and become what it always seems to have been: The Trump TV Network. WTF?
If Fox did any more for his re-election campaign, they would have to file paperwork with the FEC for in-kind contributions.
