All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

At 2:18pm - domestic data only
Confirmed cases US - 5,714,711 *
Deaths US - 177,672

* As I was typing this in, it suddenly occurred to me that the next milestone for confirmed cases is gonna be 6,000,000.

Six Million confirmed cases in this country. And as it's gone as far back as I've started noticing, that's about one-quarter of the numbers globally.

Good Grief...

Good Grief Part 2: I was typing this as trump and Azar are on TV, promoting convalescent plasma as a COVID treatment. Okay... but why do I feel an urge to yell "FACT CHECK, PLEASE!!!!!!"

LOL!

That's the best part!

A narrow win. Everything else is hilarious, too!

“Watch for finger”!

And how do you know this, donald? Did YOU do that?

You ever vote multiple times? Two addresses - vote in New York and Florida in the same election, maybe? And how many times each? And Wife #3 too? Easy way to multiply your own vote that way.

DEFINITELY! We can't afford to "just move on" from this loathsome time.

We can’t afford the “we need to move forward and not look back” stuff.

That’s like just having the house painted without doing anything to clean or otherwise prepare the surface before you paint it. Just paint over the cracks and the bugs and the dirt and the cobwebs and the rust and the deterioration and the cracks and the leaves that are all crumbled up in the corners.

We have to face this and CLEAN HOUSE. Identify, round up, and take out all the garbage - straight to prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment.


And btw, that’s the trump way. Just paint over it and nobody will notice. And then it’ll be somebody else’s problem.

Cruelty IS the point. His boss is all about domination and has said so.

And he’s all in on making that happen. Probably because he, too, is all about domination. But I suspect he realized he has to latch onto a bigger bully because he’s too much of a little weasel to dominate on his own.

YEAH, BABY!!!

And WE knew too. And WE STILL know.

And we also STILL KNOW who the hypocrites are, and why they’re on their knees to him now.

I love God.

But I did anyway.

I believe it's a Western Red Cedar. We're surrounded by them in my neighborhood.

Beautiful, bushy, and feathery! And they grow to be QUITE tall! This new one came from a neighbor’s garden and given to me. It’s pretty small at the moment.

I was pulling weeds at the side of the house a couple of days ago, and as I cleared a lot of it I found several itty-bitties that seem to have taken root on their own. Not sure they should grow there, but they look like they could be transplanted!

The more trees, the better, for me anyway. I’ve planted three new ones myself, and had another two put in also.

LOVE gardening!

Good data!
