If we can blame American bikers, we can blame Canadian film-goers. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/as-toronto-film-fest-screenings-go-mask-optional-attendees-fear-event-will-be-a-coronavirus-super-spreader

One more ... 3. Show that the infection happened at the rally, not during transit to/from.

"We estimate" ... OK ... 1. Who is "We"? 2. Estimate? Based on what exactly? Science please. Tracking and tracing. This is no different than some R stepping to a camera and saying "We estimate that over 250,000 of the reported cases between June 1 and July 1 are due to the Memorial Day weekend riots in major American urban centers."

That’s what you’re going with? From Wikipedia: Academic response to the theory has been mixed—some applauding Strauss and Howe for their "bold and imaginative thesis" and others criticizing the theory as being overly-deterministic, unfalsifiable, and unsupported by rigorous evidence,[4][5][6][7][8]"about as scientific as astrology or a Nostradamus text."[9] Strauss–Howe generational theory has also been described by some historians and journalists as a "pseudoscience"[6][10][11] "kooky",[12] and "an elaborate historical horoscope that will never withstand scholarly scrutiny."[13][14][15] Academic criticism has focused on the lack of rigorous empirical evidence for their claims,[16] and the authors' view that generational groupings are more powerful than other social groupings such as economic class, race, sex, religion, and political parties.[17]

I see the countries: West Coast; Northeast to DC; the place in the middle with food and energy. I could see the middle going from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. West would probably include Vancouver BC.

Yup. https://www.mikechurch.com/has-the-time-come-to-texit-interview-with-daniel-miller-of-tnm-the-mike-church-show/

We could start by revoking the 17th Amendment.

Just like Congress retires to million dollar lobbyist positions, so do generals but for as Ike put it the military industrial complex. Nothing wrong with calling it out.

You mean like Ike did sixty years ago? https://www.npr.org/2011/01/17/132942244/ikes-warning-of-military-expansion-50-years-later

I figured it out: television. VGK/DAL tonight (Sunday). Both played Friday this way.

Why do they have VAN/VGK going back to back when PHI/NYI is going tomorrow already? Why put two games onto the Edmonton ice today when you have games tomorrow anyway?

Sharyl Attkisson has called out Trump, but she also keeps this list: https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/09/50-media-mistakes-in-the-trump-era-the-definitive-list/

More color-codes! Whoopie! Courtesy the UK Sun: I must ask ... Why isn't "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" on there?

“The inevitable outcome of the press having a business model that rewards brain manipulation versus accuracy is what I call political warming. As the press becomes increasingly skilled at stimulating the emotion centers in our brains, one should expect the public to be in a continuous state of fight-or-flight anxiety. We’re more scared and angry than I imagine we ever have been, at least since World War II. And that means bigger storms ahead in the form of protests and divisiveness.” -- Scott Adams, Loserthink “When you combine a human brain that is wired to notice problems with a press that is incentivized to present stories involving huge problems, you can easily start imagining that the world is falling apart in a variety of fatal ways. And that worldview might limit your ability to appreciate all the things going right.”-- Scott Adams, Loserthink

I just realized that NDSU doesn't use the official logo on their FB helmets. The still use snot-nose, er, snorty. I'm guessing because it's easily mirrored.

Is it asking too much for the Department (capital D, as in UND Athletic Department) to set a standard across the board for all helmets? Something like: - green helmets have black/white logo on sides and UND in black letters above the wearer's nose - black helmets have green/white logo on sides and UND in white letters above the wearer's nose

If I could I'd vote for Noem or Bergum over the three options now (and yes, I'm countin' Ye.)

October surprise?

The videos are NSFW.

That is what is called .... The one variable illusion – people look for a silver bullet when in reality almost always multiple variables matter https://blas.com/tag/scott-adams/

Ron White is "You can't fix stupid." Denis Leary is "Get a < bleep > helmet." Both apply. EDIT: Wait ... White has a shtick about helmets also. Forgot that.

... basket of deplorables ... ... the smell of Trump supporters at Walmart ... That stuff sticks with the targets of the denigration; it motivates.

What's worse: - false negative - false positive - untrustworthy tests

I have it on strong authority (I know a mid-to-high level SD Republican party apparatchik) that Gov. Noem have been to DC more than a couple times to visit with the Executive Branch in the last 60 days. Keep an eye out for upcoming events in Sioux Falls is what I was also told.
