That was rather sedate, so I stopped at my secondary vantage point. This is 5:39:

The "actual" sunrise time was 5:22.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, standing in front of the burning police station: “I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly.”

"Move on. Nothing to see here."

Looks like the Rona Panic is waning.

The face-mask Nazis amongst my FB friends are now posting ad nauseum about how I am apparently "part of the problem" is I don't acknowledge my "white privilege".

Meanwhile, I like Van Jones comment earlier today: "It's not the racist in the KKK that we have to worry about, it's the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park. . "

Poor Howard

Yesterday both WHO and Fauci both declared no need to use masks.

The exception is when working closely with Kung Flu patients. Then it is to protect the wearer, not the patient.

So Howard, are you still gonna wear your mask to protect other people?

If so, when do you stop? When there is a vaccine? When there is a cure?

When?

All winter, I looked at these pictures and thought "this is why I don't live in Wisconsin any longer". The summer pictures of the lake are making me really miss living there.

We need a camera that captures the humidity and the bugs so I feel better about my choice :-)

No need to feel sorry for me John Henry I could give a f*** what you think or what you think those people may have said.

No medical officials has talked about using diet or exercise or supplements as a prophylaxis to covid-19 survival and I'm not going to discontinue my regimen and become a fat f*** wolfing down sugar and alcohol either. Go ahead and carry on.

One of the amazing things about Trump, unique to him, unattainable by anyone else:

He can tweet the word, "CHINA!" and it receives (at the time of this comment) 143,000 retweets and 393,000 likes. No doubt his opponents are angry at him for ... what, exactly? How dare he say the country's name without any context! And yet I instinctively know what he means. I can even hear it in his voice. I'm not sure there's a word to describe this phenomenon.

Called Home Depot and Lowes today after a sink over-flowed in my office and left a wet mess on the carpet. Needed a couple of carpet blowers stat. Both told me they no longer rent tools to the masses. Because COVID. That's a little ridiculous.

When I see what a low IQ high energy co-blogger does to a site, like Ed Driscoll over at Insty, it’s just sad. Reynolds had a brand of reasonable and intelligent commentary from right of center.

Why are foreign these troll farms usually pushing a right wing agenda?

One of the largest publishers of coronavirus disinformation on Facebook has been banned from the platform for using content farms from Macedonia and the Philippines, Facebook said on Friday.

The publisher, Natural News, was one of the most prolific pushers of the viral “Plandemic” conspiracy video, which falsely claimed that the coronavirus is part of an elaborate government plot to control the populace through vaccines, and erroneously claimed that wearing a mask increases the risk of catching the coronavirus.

This guy on twitter says:
Medical examiner said they found "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation" in George Floyd's death

Includes a link to arrest charges against cop. So, many comments are pretty typical of people who do not read the linked reports (or story). Mildly amusing in their ignorance.

Sad situation for all involved.

So, yes? Makes sense, I wouldn't trust those guys either with all the conflicting information. Better safe than sorry.

Howard: "No need to feel sorry for me John Henry I could give a f*** what you think or what you think those people may have said."

Howard goes Full Inga and will continue to pretend that the WHO and Fauci didnt just publicly say things that directly and comprehensively contradict what Howard has been pushing.

#TheScienceIsSettled

Amd whaddya know, the transcripts of Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador have just been released.....

....(you already know whats coming, dont you?)......

.....Flynn NEVER EVEN DISCUSSED SANCTIONS WITH THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR....yet that was precisely what Flynn was prosecuted for supposedly lying about.

A. Complete. Frame. Up.

And remember, Inga still calls this 33 year combat veteran General Officer a traitor.

Sounds kind of Nigerian Prince-ish, is English your first language? The author appears to be a spambot.

I've been through more than 50 flu seasons as an adult and more as a kid. Including some extremely deadly ones. 2-3 times worse than ChiVi.

Most of the time I don't even realize it is flu unless I happen to see an article about it.

I don't know if I've ever had flu in my life. I've had some very bad colds that laid me up for a a few days. Some of them may have been flu but none of them have ever merited a trip to the doctor. Treated with aspirin, Nyquil and so on.

I've had a flu vaccine once when the VA hectored me into getting one. I've had used car salesmen less persistent than that nurse was. I have no objection to them, I doubt they cause harm. I also doubt that they do much good so why bother? (My general experience with most medicines)

In other words, my inclination to PekingPox is to treat it the same as the flu. I would not normally pay much attention to it.

You want to wear a mask and stay home? Be my guest. But you don't get to put tens of millions of people out of work and kill the economy for a hoax.

Yeah, hoax. Not the ChiVi. That is real enough. Nowhere near as serious as it is made out to be but real.

The hoax is all the bullshit we are being put through using it as an excuse. And all because Orangeman bad.

Yeah, the info we are getting from the SCIENTISTS!(tm) is complete and utter bullshit and completely untrustworthy.

But there seems to be close to zero evidence that we should treat this plandemic any differently than a normal flu season.

And I am, to the extent that I am allowed, going to treat the plandemic as I have the past 50-60 flu seasons, I am going to ignore it.

And going back to the questions I asked Howard, and that he did not answer:

Who do you wear the mask for? To protect yourself or to protect others?

And what conditions need to exist for you to stop wearing a mask? (If for me, you don't need to bother. I'm fine with you either masked or unmasked)

Full Moon? Howard?
