    Damn good for you.

    Yeah, the guy in row 6 left Louisiana at 4 in the morning, got to Pensacola at 8:00 and waited until 3:00 to get in and get his seat.  When I walked in at 4:30, he asked if I was somebody. I said no, I am a nobody. I just know someone. He said he was a nobody too.:D  We all had fun.

    Ed Rollins says it is over.  

    Why?

    Because Dear Leader and his cult are hated and insane.

    Biden leads Trump by 17 points as election race enters final stage

    With election day just three weeks away and millions of votes already cast, some Republicans fear a rout in the races for the presidency, Senate and House of Representatives. Ed Rollins, who advises a pro-Trump super political action committee, told the New York Times: “The president’s political environment is terrible. It’s an uphill battle.”

    Asked by the Times if Trump can still turn things around, Rollins replied: “It’s cooked.”

    Nothing is over

    Funny that nobody raised a stink when Confederate Cooter was blocking traffic, screaming and touching police during the anti-lockdown protests.:whistling:

    You people aren't fooling anybody.  Civil disobedience isn’t what bothers you, it’s what these protesters stand for.  You know well that minorities will be the majority in 20+ years and the implications of such will politically and culturally flip this country upside down.  And the white millennial and Gen Z kids growing up in this new environment are completely on-board.  'Snowflake culture' I think you call it?  

    Of course the right-wing is mobilized now, why wouldn't they be?  But they are an older, monolithic and withering demographic.  Look at a Trump rally for God's sake.  Older and white as a snowstorm with dueling banjos as the soundtrack.    

     

    Either way, many places now are lifting curfews. Violence is subsiding and non-violent protests and marches are taking over everywhere.  This is history in the making.    

    In my post above where I point to traffic being blocked, that is a bridge that when blocked, diverts traffic to a 60-90 minute detour depending on traffic. The protesters have been blocking 17th Avenue a few days in the past week and is low impact, as there are other options to get around.  It is also a rallying point as Graffiti Bridge has been used to include their message. I had no problem with that. They knew what they were doing trying to expand their protest to include blocking the bridge. I do have a problem with that.

    If you are a Christian, and can't hear #BlackLivesMatter without feeling the need to respond with a criticism that "All Lives Matter," then crack open your Bible and hit up Luke 15.

    Don't have it handy? Let me summarize.

    There are 100 sheep, but one goes missing. Jesus leaves the 99 and goes after the one.

    The 99: "But... what about us? Don't we matter?"

    Of course the 99 still matter, but they're not the ones in danger.

    The one is.

    So what you are saying is all 100 lives matter,  so.... "All lives matter".

    My point was not that they themselves were afraid but rather the public response in a time of uncertainty when even the "experts" say "I don't know".

    My boss is forever saying “don’t know, don’t guess”.

    It only makes things worse. Look at what it has done to our economy.

  8. I had an inspection yesterday at a nearby base.  The inspection was outside.  I walk up with no mask and was told by the GC that everyone had to wear a mask.  I asked, "why", the inspection is outside, breezy, sunny, etc...  He said that base General wanted it that way.  The General saw a contractor not wearing a mask and removed him from the base for three years.  I walk up to the area that I was to inspect and everyone there had on masks, except for the Government employee.  I had to laugh.

  9. Escambia, Santa Rosa vacation rentals get OK to reopen heading into Memorial Day weekend

    Phase I of Florida's re-open plan allowed for the hotels and resorts to open, but did not allow for vacation rentals to open.  The Gov. is now allowing rentals on a county by county basis, as long as you have a plan in place.  The plans for the two counties of metro Pensacola are below.  More or less keeping the risk as low as possible.....If you got problems at home, don't bring them here.

    Quote

    Escambia County's safety plan includes rules like not renting to people visiting from states with COVID-19 case rates higher than 700 per 100,000 residents as of May 15. That would bar reservations from visitors in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana and Michigan, as well as Washington, D.C.

    Santa Rosa County's plan is stricter and will limit reservations to states that have a rate of coronavirus cases less than 500 cases per 100,000 residents as of May 14, which would add Nebraska, Maryland and Illinois to the states listed above.

    Let's be honest.... states like California, New York, Minnesota, Illinois pay taxes that are used to fix every problem in red states because their irresponsible and are incapable of appropriately funding their own governments.   ND is a prime example,  who do you think funded the welfare checks that ND farmers have been cashing the last two years?  How would ND's finances look if not for those payments?

    I have a problem with bailing out states that were already in financial trouble before this began.  Illinois for one has been in financial trouble for years, a lot of it having to do with their pension system.  This is not a red state vs. blue state issue.

    i saw the other day the virtue signaler of the year at a big box store...she had the trifecta ....gloves (long ones up her forearms), mask,.......and......safety googles!!!!!!

    I can one up you on that.  I was walking out of Publix about a month ago and I saw a guy in the parking lot walking toward the door with long pants, hooded sweatshirt, gloves and safety goggles.  All you could see was eyes through the goggles.  Even funnier is that I knew the guy.  I walked toward him with a big smile on my face.  He felt like he had to tell me who he was, because of how he was protected, but I could tell.

    When have you witnessed acquired power given up willingly. 

    After the Boston marathon bombing I watched people vacating their own houses with their hands in the air, being ordered about and led around by law enforcement, while they were searching for the bombers.  I shook my head and commented that a dangerous precedent was being set. 

  13. When this whole thing began, we were told that the US medical community  couldn’t handle the number of cases that would occur and that we had to shut everything down to flatten the curve.  Clearly that was an over reaction, as we set up temporary medical facilities that went largely unused. 
    It  just seems to me we used a chain saw to a problem that could have been resolved with pruning shears.

     
    There been over-reach by public officials to take away rights and liberties, because they thought they could get away with it.  I am hopeful that will be reversed.

    Can’t argue that. Recent findings says it can stay in the air for 8 minutes after someone is speaking. 

    Coronavirus droplets caused by talking remain in the air for 8-14 minutes, new study says

    Man, if I am to listen to what all of the learned experts are telling me to do, I may as well just go sit in my house and prepare to die, because one way or another that virus is going to find me.
