38% of voters consistently support Trump. If these 38% were confined to separate areas of the country, one might say that Darwinian selection would solve the problem, and the population of consistently deluded would diminish, but this 38% is all over the country.
Trump Encourages His Supporters To Defy Stay At Home Orders
From the article:
Trump was asked multiple times to tell his supporters to follow the stay at home restrictions in their states, but he refused to do so.
Trump was questioned about his supporters protesting stay at home orders, and he answered:
Well, theyve been going through it a long time, Jon, and its been a tough process for people. You know, I told you, theres death and theres problems in staying at home, too. Its not just isnt it wonderful to stay at home. Theyre having theyre this country wasnt built that on principle. It was built on an exact opposite principle actually. And I watched, in one particular state, where they were they want to get back. They want to get back. There were very strict sanctions that were put on people, that was probably the most strict of all.

1) Kanye West should Google the term useful idiot.
2) Kanye should really spend more time writing his songs.
"It's Better Now Than When Obama Was in Office," Says Kanye West
From the article:
I buy real estate, West said. Its better now than when Obama was in office. They dont teach you in school about buying property. They teach you how to become somebodys property.
No, Im definitely voting this time. And we know who Im voting on, he added. I was told my career would end if I wasnt with [Hillary Clinton]. What kind of campaign is that, anyway?

Devin Nunes Demands Criminal Charges To Distract From Coronavirus
From the article:
Nunes said on Fox Newss Hannity, Roger Stone is in jail right now. Ok, because of these dirty cops and the obstruction of justice trap that the Mueller team put together. I hope that there better be people charged with lying and obstructing a congressional investigation because we should have been given this information.

Donald Trump was wheeled out of the Oval Office on Tuesday for his daily coronavirus propaganda briefing, and he found a new scapegoat for his failure to respond to this crisis: the World Health Organization (WHO).
With a straight face, the president accused the WHO of severely mismanaging and covering up the pandemic, saying the organization failed to act early to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
As a result, as PoliticusUSAs Jason Easley noted, the president says he is freezing funding for the global health organization, pending an investigation in the middle of a deadly pandemic that has swept the U.S.
More projection from a president who refuses to accept responsibility

I would go even further, and say it would be insane to not support, work for, and vote for Joe Biden. The alternative is to either vote for a lunatic, or refuse to vote for the sane, progressive choice.
Sanders Tells His Supporters It Would Be Irresponsible Not To Support Biden
From the article:
Sanders said his supporters have a simple choice now that Biden has emerged as the presumptive nominee: Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected?
He continued: I believe that its irresponsible for anybody to say, Well, I disagree with Joe Biden I disagree with Joe Biden! and therefore Im not going to be involved.

Please enjoy this rehearsal of Buffalo Springfield
For all of us who play, and played, in bands, this is an excellent reminder of how arrangements happen. All 3 are excellent guitarists, and all 3 are willing to play harmony. Steven Stills is in great form here.

I did watch this yesterday, and Paula Reid demonstrated how the media should deal with Trump. Expose his lies, and watch as he tries to insult the questioner rather than admit the truth.
And the truth, the truth behind his falling approval numbers, is that this failed businessman turned out to be, no surprise here, a failure as President.
Trump Melts Down When Reporter Busts His Coronavirus Propaganda
From the article:
After playing a propaganda video about his coronavirus response, Trump lost it when he was questioned by CBSs Paula Reid about the one month gap in his video.
The exchange:
Q: (Paula Reid of CBS): What did you do with the time in the month of February?
Trump: You know what we did? What do you do when you have no cases in the whole United States
Paula Reid: You had cases
Trump: Excuse me, you reported it. Zero cases, zero deaths on January 17th. I said in January. On January

Now that there is an abundance of toilet paper, and an impending shortage of pork products,
will a black market soon arise where one can trade toilet paper for bacon?

Passover, Easter, Ramadan -- and interfaith America in action
From the article:
Passover is about how a people who stay steadfast in hope can be liberated as a community from Mitzrayim, "a narrow place."
Easter is the death of one paradigm and the rising of another.
Ramadan commemorates the end of jahiliyya, the period of darkness, which is vanquished in the emerging light of the Quran.
These three periods of holiness will occur within days of each other this year, as will sacred events for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Baha'is.
Collectively they carry a common message: The cosmic calendar calls us to renewal, forever changing the way we look at our lives in the material world.
