Guess...

The classification of essential workers and non essential is a bad classification of people. It should be classified as safe or unsafe condition to work.  Just a thought.

Rebutted...

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley criticized CNN for “media indulgence” after they ran a selectively edited clip favorable to former Vice President Joe Biden.    

“CNN's John King just began a question on how 'some are trying to make a big deal over' Biden's 'you're not black' comment.” 

Turley, a George Washington University law professor said on Twitter. “CNN then played the clip ending with ‘I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none.’”

CNN just replayed the same edited clip in another interview, preceded by a derisive comment about those 'trying to make hay about this.' 

In a story where Biden is proclaiming his support among black voters, CNN omitted the line where he falsely claims multiple NAACP endorsements.”

“However, the quote was edited to exclude the next line: 'The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record.' 
That is a false statement that the NAACP has publicly rebutted.

Ensamble...

 A nurse in Russia was suspended from the hospital where she worked in Tula, 100 miles south of Moscow, after she arrived at her shift in the all-male coronavirus patient wing with no clothing save for her skivvies under her transparent personal protective equipment.

The unidentified staffer told her managers at Tula Regional Clinical Hospital that she was “too hot” to wear clothing underneath the head-to-toe vinyl gown, which protected her from contracting COVID-19.  

 “A disciplinary sanction was applied to the nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated [uniform] requirements,” the Sun reports. 

The two-piece ensemble was possibly a “swimming suit.”

Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley slammed the media for widely dismissing the recent revelations of the unmasking requests of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

In a column published on Sunday, Turley pointed out the "unsettling" details surrounding the declassified list of top Obama officials, including former Vice President Joe Biden, who had requested Flynn's name to be revealed from his conversations with the Russian ambassador in the final weeks of the Obama administration, which followed the "chilling details" of released transcripts showing that the most prominent figures who pushed the Russian collusion narrative admitted to investigators that they never saw evidence that the Trump campaign worked with the Kremlin during the 2016 election.

Turley, the constitutional scholar who is widely known for his congressional testimony opposing President Trump's impeachment during the Ukraine scandal, pointed out how the media "universally mocked" Trump in 2016 for claiming that the Obama administration placed campaign officials under surveillance, saying "that statement was later proven to be true," referencing the  Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants that were issued against Trump campaign officials like former advisor Carter Page.

Sell...

Two executives at drug firm Moderna quietly sold nearly $30 million of stock when they unveiled a coronavirus vaccine and value surged, before the share price quickly fell again amid skepticism from the medical community. 

Moderna's chief financial officer Lorence Kim and chief medical officer Tal Zaks dumped the staggering value of stocks on Monday and Tuesday when the share price skyrocketed following the company's announcement of what it described as 'positive' results from its vaccine trial. 

The biotech company released results from its COVID-19 vaccine trial after it became the first US company to start a clinical trial for a vaccine back in March.  

This sparked hope that a vaccine for the deadly virus could make it to market by January and sent Wall Street investors into overdrive.  

Stocks in Moderna surged as much as 30 percent to $87 a share, and the company's market value climbed to $29 billion.

Ain't Blak...

Joe Biden said in a Friday interview that a black voter who can’t decide between him and President Trump in the 2020 elections isn’t really black.

“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden told radio DJ Charlamagne tha God on The Breakfast Club. (The comments come at around the 17:15 mark.)

Biden received criticism as vice president during the 2012 campaign, when he told a largely African American audience in Virginia that Republicans wanted to “put y’all back in chains.”

Just a "not so presidential" thought.

Blame...

ProPublica recently released a report outlining catastrophic missteps by Cuomo and,  de Blasio, which probably resulted in many thousands of needless coronavirus cases.

By mid-May, New York City alone had almost 20,000 deaths, while in San Francisco there had been only 35, and New York state as a whole suffered 10 times as many deaths as California.

Cuomo initially “reacted to De Blasio’s idea for closing down New York City”, saying it “was dangerous” and “served only to scare people”. He said the “seasonal flu was a graver worry”.  Later, Cuomo would blame the press, including the New York Times for failing to say “Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?”

Former CDC director Tom Frieden said ‘so many deaths could have been prevented’ had New York issued its stay-at-home order just ‘days earlier’ than it did. On March 19, when New York’s schools had already been closed, Cuomo said ‘in many ways, the fear is more dangerous than the virus.’”

The governor has failed to take responsibility for the obvious failures, consistently blaming others and at one point even saying “governors don’t do pandemics”.  But much of the press has ignored this completely.

Spread...

The coronavirus primarily spreads from person to person and not easily from a contaminated surface. That is the takeaway from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which this month updated its “How COVID-19 Spreads” website.

The revised guidance now states, in headline-size type, “The virus spreads easily between people.” It also notes that the coronavirus, which causes the disease covid-19, “is spreading very easily and sustainably between people.”

The CDC made another  new heading “The virus does not spread easily in other ways,” the agency explains that touching contaminated objects or surfaces does not appear to be a significant mode of transmission. The same is true for exposure to infected animals.

Hate...

Ahmaud Arbery

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has arrested the man who recorded cellphone video of Ahmaud Arbery being shot and killed.

William “Roddie” Bryan, 50, shot the video that showed what appears to be Gregory and Travis McMichael shooting and killing Ahmaud Arbery while he was out jogging in February.

In a news release, the GBI said it charged Bryan with felony murder and criminal contempt to commit false imprisonment.

The GBI said Bryan will be booked into the Glynn County Jail. A news conference with the GBI is expected Friday morning at 9 a.m. 

Just a "bad" thought.
