Sen. David Perdue reinforces the notion that old white republican men
don't have the extended sell by dates they'll need to maintain the American patriarchal status quo. He's so rude to the Newshour's Judy Woodruff in this video, I just wanted to slap him.
Here's the link if you can stomach it. I have to say that it just makes me want to find a huge sledgehammer and get to work smashing the patriarchy, starting with his head.

In historic move, North Carolina city approves reparations for Black residents
In historic move, North Carolina city approves reparations for Black residents
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/15/asheville-passes-reparations-black-residents-historic/5441792002/
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – In an extraordinary move, the Asheville City Council has apologized for the North Carolina city's historic role in slavery, discrimination and denial of basic liberties to Black residents and voted to provide reparations to them and their descendants.
The 7-0 vote came the night of July 14.
"Hundreds of years of Black blood spilled that basically fills the cup we drink from today," said Councilman Keith Young, one of two African American members of the body and the measure's chief proponent.
"It is simply not enough to remove statutes. Black people in this country are dealing with issues that are systemic in nature."
The unanimously passed resolution does not mandate direct payments. Instead, it will make investments in areas where Black residents face disparities.

GOV. ROY COOPER ANNOUNCED A PLAN FOR REOPENING NC SCHOOLS. HERE'S WHAT IT MEANS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- In a news conference Tuesday, Gov. Roy Cooper announced that North Carolina will reopen schools with both in-person and online education.
Previously, Cooper encouraged school districts to prepare three reopening plans: completely in-person education, a mix of in-person and online education, and completely online education.
The plans were as follows:
Plan A means there will need to be minimal social distancing
Plan B means that there would need to be increased social distancing with schools at no more than 50 percent and buses at no more than 33 percent capacity
Plan C means remote instruction only.
On Monday, he said that the state will move forward with Plan B. He also said school districts have the option to choose Plan C if it's best for them.

China bans imports of shrimp from Ecuador after virus detected on packaging
China on Friday temporarily banned imports from three Ecuadorian companies after the novel coronavirus was detected on the packaging of frozen shrimp.
China has been aggressively testing frozen and refrigerated imports from countries deemed high risk for the virus after the emergence of a new cluster in Beijing last month. The outbreak was linked to a wholesale market in the capital city, where the virus was found on a cutting board used to prepare salmon imported from Norway.
Since then, Chinese authorities have tested over 220,000 samples from imported food products, General Administration of Customs official Bi Kexin said at a news conference Friday, Yahoo News reported.

Well, I did it. I called the sheriff.
Every Fourth of July it's the same story. The same person that shoots off what sounds like a machine gun, at all hours of the day and night, is firing off fireworks.
They are going off all around me. I am afraid so I called the sheriff. I live in the woods, literally. I have a crop of corn that surrounds me on three sides and hardwood trees around my house, in my yard, that I love. I also am surrounded by an old growth forest of pines which are harvested on an overlapping schedule.
I am afraid I am going to be set on fire. I told the dispatch officer as much. My dogs are also petrified. I couldn't peel the little one off me if I tried. I'm fed up. I'm tired of feeling unsafe and frankly disrespected. So I called the sheriff. I asked to be made anonymous. The dispatcher said they'd send someone out. I thanked her. She said they'd been getting lots of complaints.
What I didn't tell her was that before I moved here, I had a condo in town, about twelve miles away. During the last week of June 2013, I moved here from the condo and planned to ready my condo for the realtor after the 4th. I never got the chance. You see someone left fireworks debris in a trash can at the back of the building and in the early morning of July 5th it burned to the ground. Seven families were left homeless with nothing. It was a total loss.
I am frequently reminded of my good luck when I go into town to shop and see the empty space where my home used to be. I am tired of being treated with disregard by idiots that show little regard for their own safety much less mine. So I called the sheriff and I feel a little bit better having taken that step. Time will tell if it makes any difference.
Happy Independence Day, DUers! Always wishing you all the best!
