Tsunami...

Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Sunday warned that key employees -- including health care workers, firefighters, police officers and teachers -- could be laid off if the state does not receive additional funding from the federal government.

The Democrat  have called for additional federal assistance while the White House is reluctant to provide additional funds to states. On Friday, Murphy announced the state is estimated to have a revenue loss of $10 billion.

Governor Cuomo’s budget office is due to release an updated financial report, and the numbers are grim. Cuomo says the pandemic and the resulting “economic tsunami” caused by stay at home orders has meant a 14% drop in state revenues to $13.3 billion dollars, which is projected to total $61 billion dollars over the next four years.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Sunday said " there should be a data analysis on state budget shortfalls and that some state's requests are "radically more money than the expected shortfall for the year."

Yearning...

With a budget of 182 Billion Dollars annually, and three months warning, the State of New York got caught completely unprepared. Needed equipment, beds, ventilators, face masks, and other needed protective items were not available. The front line healthcare workers faced these disastrously condition by themselves.

New York has the largest number of death of Covid 19 virus compared to other States of the Union by 10 to 15 folds. Nursing homes  also been devastated.

The Covid 19 virus exposed the way the State and the City are run. Tax and Tax some more, to waste spend and waste some more. The State just approved Congestion Pricing, taxing whoever needs to drive to work in Manhattan. 

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.

 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.
