Yes, relax and everything will be ok. Don't need shutdowns.....masks (aka security blankets)....etc. Kids are back in school and not dropping like flies. Sports are even being played.

The "woke" people should be allowed to experience all facets of what their actions can lead to. This didn't take long. I am not sure anyone thought this wouldn't happen. Less police by defunding, or moving moneys to other area = more crime. Minneapolis City Council alarmed by crime surge after defunding police Quote Minneapolis City Council members, who just two months ago moved to eliminate the police department, sounded the alarm during a Wednesday meeting about a surge in crime seen by their constituents. Council members pressed Police Chief Medaria Arradondo about the uptick in crimes that included daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults, shootings and street racing. “Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police?’” said Council Member Jamal Osman, noting that constituents’ calls to the Minneapolis Police Department have gone unanswered. “That is the only public safety option they have at the moment. MPD. They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison Dan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, mikejm said: Our present fossil fuels are heavily subsidized, too. "Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil.

Nodak78 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 32 minutes ago, UNDBIZ said: So they had 22 cases June 30 and a month later said there were over 80 cases. Are you saying there were no additional cases a month later? They don't want to comment because they've been blaming bars and restaurants for spread when, with 80 cases out of 20,000, that's not the case. If I read correctly. They misstated the 80 VS the 22 on June 30. New reporter questioned the 80+ a month later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 For Antifa deniers like Jerald Nadler FBI Director Wray: 'Antifa is a real thing,' FBI has cases against people identifying with movement Quote FBI Director Chris Wray made clear that Antifa is not a made-up, right-wing conspiracy theory and that the FBI has cases involving those connected to it. Appearing at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday, Wray explained that while Antifa is not an organization in the traditional sense, it is a movement and there have been suspects who claimed to be a part of it. "Antifa is a real thing. It's not a group or an organization. It's a movement, or an ideology may be one way of thinking of it," Wray said. "And we have quite a number -- and I've said this quite consistently since my first time appearing before this committee -- we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa."

Goon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 UH Oh. Leaked 2016 Call Reveals Joe Biden Risked National Security To Sabotage Trump Quote A recently leaked phone call between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko directly after the 2016 presidential election shows that Biden sought to sabotage the incoming Trump administration before Donald Trump even took office, and much worse. During the course of the call, Biden badmouthed the incoming administration, saying, “The truth of the matter is that the incoming administration doesn’t know a great deal about [Ukraine]” and that they were unprepared for the transition. This in itself is inappropriate, but it was meant to set the stage for Biden’s next statement and future plans. Biden then told Poroshenko, “I don’t plan on going away. As a private citizen, I plan on staying deeply engaged in the endeavor that you have begun and we have begun.” In a matter of moments, Biden undermined the incoming administration, branded them as not knowing anything about Ukraine, and attempted to set up a foreign policy backchannel for himself after he left office as a private citizen, which could violate the Logan Act. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
