It is morning in America once again. We are the wonder of the world.

Wow, getting close to the earliest sunrise of the year. Looks, like Mitt Romney is doing his usual double-talk walkback. After Endorsing Black lives matter, and marching against "Racism", he now says he's against defunding the Police. But then flipped-flopped and said he's working on a bill to address Police misconduct.
Romney also says he wants to "increase the number of blacks voting Republican" which is hilarious since he got 6% of the black vote in 2012 and represent Utah which is 2% Black. Before becoming Utah's 2nd senator, Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, which is well-known for it massive African-american population.
The fact is that Romney is just a grandstander, and LOVES getting praised by the NYT and WaPo. While his endless attacks on Trump are partly driven by Jealousy, its also driven by his love for favorable press. Why else would he create fake twitter account and sent out hundreds of tweets to newsmen, defending Mitt Romney aka himself? Attacking trump is easiest and quickest way for a Republican to get favorable media attention.
BTW, the election numbers for Republican Presidents are pretty bad. Here's the R share of the black vote for President:
2000 - 8%
2004 - 11%
2008 - 6%
2012 - 6%
2016 - 8%
The "Massive" 3% rise in 2004 was due to the Democrats nominating John Kerry (Mr. Chardonnay Spritzer) and Democrats support for Gay Marriage.

I had a Eureka moment this evening. Why are the problem police forces in the country almost always seemingly in deep blue cities often in blue states? And the answer hit me: typically the mayor and councilmen of these cities don't have a clue how to run a police force. Among the professional politicians using the position as a stepping stone to something more, the corrupt-o-crats that are more concerned about getting paid, and the left-wing idealists that arguably have no competencies, there's no one that knows or cares to organize what is essentially the city's military. Combine that with the general desire to buy votes, that results in police forces with minimal and ineffective oversight. The large majority of municipal politicians probably have no clue what is going on, much less have any idea if what is going on is good or not.
Of course, I never expected the extreme that Minneapolis has provided with the councilwoman declaring they are going to disband the police without seemingly having a clue what they actually do or what she is going to replace them with.
Let the sun rise on a new America!
Just thought I’d put that out there to trigger a few folks.
Just kidding, lighten up.
Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare,’ WHO says.
And in slightly older news, CDC now says coronavirus ‘does not spread easily’ on surfaces.
In Columbus, Ohio, several protestors were arrested for violating curfews imposed by the city. There is a move among the city council to let those arrested go free without any punishment.
A local news program asked viewers to respond to a survey question: Do you approve the city council's proposal to let these curfew violators go free without punishment?
To my pleasant surprise, the survey response was 2/3 against, with only 1/3 in favor. The locals are not favorably disposed to these protests. That's also my impression from talking to people in the area. Columbia's protests haven't been too violent compared to other cities, although there was some vandalism. But the mood of regular citizens is very fed up with it all, not least because of the hypocrisy regarding the virus and social distancing requirements that all of a sudden are officially ignored.
In response to Yancey and others having problems viewing embedded videos, try single clicking the space just above the video, and it usually starts playing.
A punch right into ARM's soft, Beijing-loving gut:

I got a haircut yesterday. It had been a long time. Anyways, everyone had to wear a mask. The conversation went like this --
Her: "Hmm wmmmd ymm lmmm ymmm hmmm cmm tmmmm?"
Me: "Cww qwwww aw bww oww, pwwwww."
It was a great hair cut, and like I always do, I tipped $5. We were both happy. I think she might be kinda cute.
Wouldn't it be better to leave the comments open throughout the night and just delete offensive comments in the morning?

But wasn't that whole wearing mask thing about preventing transmission by asymptomatic people?
I'm confused.
Re: Crack's link and comment that it's been under our noses all along.
Crack- you're right. I know it's there. I suspect many, but not all of us know that. There's no accounting for idiocy in people, but we can try to weed it out- a person at a time. I know you'd agree that idiocy knows no race or religion. Its found across the spectrum of humanity. We all have the idiot gene- some more so than others.
I've spent my life traveling for work and working in and around every one of the major cities in the US. On top of growing up in Detroit, then outside of Detroit. (quite a difference). I've seen a lot in these cities. I've long wondered how we all just go about our days, working our asses off, doing our lives, trying just to get through this thing, while the Giant Elephant in the room- our throwing away the Black community in this country- stares at us from every city and corner of this country. I don't think it's hate as much as it is, we're just trying to get through our own lives. We think about it, then move on. But nothing happens.
Obviously- getting rid of police is not the answer. And frankly- the police are not even the problem. We are all the problem. We either rise together or we fall apart, every one of us. Somewhere in the city of Detroit is a young kid right now. He's 3. He's been born to a single mom who has 2 other kids. This one 3 year old boy has the genes to be brilliant. He's the one who will find the cure for cancer. Or the one who figures out a new energy source. But he's also not got very good odds of getting out of Detroit alive by the age of 18, let alone getting a quality education. That's not going to happen in the Detroit Public Schools.
This 3 year old genius in waiting is doomed due to where he was born, due to the huge number of single parent kids who grow up in poverty, and due to teachers unions (paid for and operated by Democrats) who refuse to allow for charter schools. This 3 year old, who was destined to cure cancer will get shot to death at 16, or just barely get through school, having to worry more about what to eat and if he can get home safely. He'll hope for a job at Ford or maybe he'll sell drugs to get some cash.
Another lost cure for cancer. Another generation of Black Americans that we are just throwing out. It sickens me and has for decades now. Why don't we see this. We are literally throwing out 15% of our population every generation, before they even get a chance to become.
This is not just on white people. This is on black people, too. It's on all people. We all have to learn this and change it.
"Why are the problem police forces in the country almost always seemingly in deep blue cities often in blue states?"
Because they are the ones with large urban black populations. The problems follow the population. This also partly explain why they elect Democrats. Causes create effects.
Re: Crack's link and comment that it's been under our noses all along.
The racially oppressed black police chief?
This is not just on white people.
LOL.
This is on black people, too.
Gee, ya think?
Another lost cure for cancer.
The melodrama, it burns!
It's on all people. We all have to learn this and change it.
Why is it always and only "the black community" and never any other "community"?
"This 3 year old genius in waiting is doomed due to where he was born, due to the huge number of single parent kids who grow up in poverty..."
What are causes, what are effects? The cause, or the predominant one, has been staring us in the face for decades now. There simply isn't a public policy or a human-engineering approach that has NOT been tried, and failed, or only succeeded marginally.
There is no known way to solve this, it is beyond our capabilities to do this at this time. This is a hard message to take, but its as true and solid as anything ever learned about public policy. Many hundreds of thousands, or millions, have done their best on this for 70 years in your country, in what has amounted to 30-50 Manhattan projects.
This "Karen" phenomena being exposed is one that's quite gratifying.
"The workers had on shirts with the company's logo, as well as equipment."
Now that you mention it, George Floyd started his armed home invasion by wearing a government-looking uniform to fool the occupant(s) into allowing him in; when the pregnant woman got suspicious and he pulled a gun on her.
“If you live in a blue city, move.”
Think rural. I bought the subdivision we live in here in NW MT this March. And, no, I wasn’t prescient - I had been haggling and working with the bank for it since late last fall. Last week, I talked to a bunch of guys pulling cable along the bike path by the highway. Asked what they were doing since technically it was now my land. The response was that by were pulling fiber for the phone company. I made sure that they knew where the expansion (Phase III) was going to be, so that the new lots would start with fiber. Just like my new house in PHX.
Our (indoor) cat has discovered deer. He now knows the route of windows around the house so that he can keep them in view as they graze around the house. I don’t think he realizes yet that they are a lot bigger than he is. But he seems instinctively to know that they are prey and he is a hunter. No turkeys yet, and the geese don’t have their young out yet. Burnt it is coming. The eagle’s nest about a quarter mile away is occupied, which means little eagles soon. The cycle of seasons.
We got up here late this year, because of the brand new house in AZ. Been here a month now, and the grass has grown maybe a foot. Which means that it is time to cut it. Likely have to do it one more time this summer. Racking pine needles and cones and getting them off the roof, and that is most of the yard work for the six months we usually spend here. If you stay year round you would, of course, have to shovel snow. But this last winter was extremely light - we had the road plowed exactly once last winter. This meant that the HOA had enough money left over to fill in the apron as our road enters the highway.
Restaurants have been open for better than a month now, though the place that we like best has only one inside table available. My kid and their SO are driving up this weekend from CO, and hoping it is either warmer, or they have more inside tables open. Hopefully the former, since it is right next to the river, one of the larger tributaries to the Columbia, so quite substantial. It is still running high which is to be expected at this time of year, with snow still visible higher up. There was supposed to have been flooding up in Missoula, with the river threatening the homeless encampment, but that kinda petered out.
I have been sitting by the front windows in a recliner for about an hour, with a comforter on my lap, reading blogs. No vehicles have been by yet. That is one of the big differences with living in a city - how quiet it is. Sure, birds at dawn. Some vehicles driving by throughout the day. Maybe neighbors honking, but more often waving. Or stopping as they drive by, to chat, if you are out in the driveway.
And then I look at the pictures from the riots, and ask why anyone would want to live in places like those we see on the TV and over the Internet. You ask yourself, why they don’t just shoot the looters and the arsonists and be done with it. And now we find out, in another thread, that at least one city, Boston, I believe, is going to divert police money to funding “activists” (I.e. the arsonists and the looters). Crazy times.
Change is slow here. But they are in the process of doubling the size of the church downtown. Moreover the store where my partner got my fancy gun case last year, and I bought a half dozen AR-15 lowers, has moved from selling antiques on consignment to selling feed, as well as chicks (the next batch, coming in next week is already spoken for), and renting U Haul trucks. They probably don’t have more than a desultory open long guns, and a similar number of handguns available. But that is probably because the mercantile across the street probably has a hundred of each for sale, and is planning on doubling that. Sill, the first guy will still transfer guns in to you for only $15 if you have a CCW ($25 otherwise). And the subdivision has a new owner.
@buwaya: Don't you think 2-parent families would go a long way toward solving this problem?
"He's been born to a single mom who has 2 other kids."
There's your problem, right there.
People are naive to think we will ever rid the world of it's racist nature. Everyone is a bigot to some degree. It's in our DNA. What we can do, and did was eliminate institutional racism. By and large everyone is treated with the same respect. Institutional racism is so rare that it has to faked by supposed victims. When it does actually break down, it's always because of the actions of a bigoted employee. Which is then swiftly dealt with by the institution. That's the best you can hope for.
Civil rights leader Shelby Steele said blacks are less oppressed now than at any time in history. I agree. I guarantee you 99.999999% of the people out protesting have never experienced any kind of discrimination based on race. Yeah, maybe someone gave them the side eye in a store one time (we're all bigots to some degree) but they have never been denied any service because of their race. They've never had to experience the oppression of the black race in the Jim Crow era. They aren't getting fire hosed or mauled by K-9's for peacefully protesting. What a weak and infantile generation the millenials are!
Chicago had 18 murders in a 24-hour period on May 31. There were 34 murders from May 29-31. Most or all of them were black. Is that because of systemic racism? I have never seen BLM address any black on black killings. Ever.
