who ask why FBI agents were at Mar-a-Lago for 8 hours, the implication being agents were engaged in nefarious activity, direct them to this document.

Watching Trump's "Narcissistic Press Conference" today...
Asked whether his initial response to COVID-19 was indeed the response of a wartime president or a very unstable idiot Trump said, “You might say both! I consider myself a general first. First and foremost. That’s a phrase I made up by the way: first and foremost. I’m the greatest general in the history of generals. People don’t know this but the word ‘general’ was invented because of my swift action on everything I do. I’ve had other generals come up to me and say, ‘Sir, I’m a wartime general just like you but compared to you I don’t feel like I deserve that title, so I’m giving it up.’ And they cry when they say that. Some of them fall on the ground bawling like babies. Little babies. Tiny babies. Distraught. And I have to console them. Tell them it’s ok but what did they expect?
It’s also true I made some idiotic decisions. But they weren’t my decisions. I listened to the idiots in my administration. I won’t say who but his initials are JK. So in that sense you might say I’m an idiot, unstable or otherwise. But if that’s true, that I’m an idiot, I’m not just any idiot. I’m the best idiot. I had a man come up to me crying. Big burly man. Tattoos everywhere. Even his bald head. He was crying big tears, huge tears. My shoes got wet from the overflow. And he said, ‘Sir, some people are calling you an idiot.’ And I said that’s ok. I’m only an idiot in the good sense of the word. But remember I’m the Idiot-in-Chief, and the President-in-Chief and the General-in-Chief. I’m the Chief of everything, you might say.
And Melania, you know my wife Melanie? Melania, whatever her name is. She calls me the Sitapea-in-Chief. I don’t know what that means. But it’s good. It’s great. She’s speaks thirty-seven languages. Forty languages. Maybe fifty, I don’t know. But it’s a big number. Very big. I’ve tried to ask her what it means, Sitapea. She’s from Estonia, or Slovenia, or Hugoslavia, somewhere like that. It’s far away. Very far. Anyway, I go to her room. She keeps the door locked for her own safety. I have a special knock, three quick ones, a pause, then twelve very quick ones, another pause, then I stomp my feet seven times, pause again followed by twenty-one regular ones, regular knocks. You know, knocks? I’m very good at knocking. Better than anybody. Sometimes I lose count though and have to start over. But she’s never there when I knock, she’s very busy. Busier than any First-Woman, First-Bride, whatever you call them, in history. So it’s not surprising. Anyway that makes me the greatest Sitapea-in-Chief in the history of the world. In all time, forever. Most people don’t know that history means forever, all time. But I know. And now you know.
You know, idiots do great things, too. Very great. Fabulous. But maybe you don’t know. But it’s true. Someone once said, ‘Nothing is more humiliating than to see an idiot succeed in enterprises we have failed in.’ In that sense I have humiliated a lot of people. A number bigger than most people think exists. Like that pie number. You know pie? It’s a number that goes from here to wherever. Nobody really knows where it goes. It might still be going. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Many people don’t know this either but if you do a Google search for world’s top idiot my name comes up first. That’s an honor. Cryin’ Chuck Schumer babbles like a baby when he sees my name at the top of the list. I’m a very stable genius, too. A very stable idiot genius, you might say. How many people can say that? None. I’m the only one. But only in the good sense. The best sense. The greatest sense of all time. History. Forever. So yes. Whatever. You know? Ok. Next question. Yes, you. You over there. The OAN girl. Go ahead.”
Shakespearean sonnet on lack of toilet paper...
Such emptiness seems blindness to mine eyes,
Which once reflected wings of Angel Soft.
So light to touch like clouds in distant skies,
T’would billow on the breeze if held aloft.
What erstwhile forest floors did resupply.
This thing we rarely gave a second thought,
That lay like lifeless fallen butterflies,
May yet again be prized and highly sought.
But thus with racks devoid their precious prize.
And endless searches bring no chance reward.
Nor goods for which we choose to compromise,
While looking with contempt t’ward those who hoard,
We’ve little choice but act without delay.
And jury rig an interim bidet.
My singer-songwriter daughter released her latest song today: "Everyday."
She wrote it about her time dealing with depression.
JayBird: Everyday
Sleep on it
Sleep on it
Oohhh
Every day is different
Every day with a new feelin' or
Dealin' with shit in a new way
I'm different
Than I used to be it's all new to me
But still feeling the same way
A good way a bad day
Ain't no way to figure it out
No way to block that shit out
It's all in my head and
I know it, I know it, I know it, I’m
Not tryna fall back I'm
Not tryna go back to
No control, no control, no control
Tuesdays with blue skies
And your eyes and everything
I Could ever need I've got
Love from you hugs from you
More from you I could never leave
We’ve got no control
Fallin' back no control
And every day is different
Every day it’s
Not about you or your love
Or my mind or the time of the day
Nothing else I can say
They say it'll be okay
Just sleep on it, sleep on it
(sleep sleep sleep sleep on it)
Sleep is the devil that keeps me awake
Sleep is the reason I'm going insane
I’d stay here all day
I'm happy this way
But just not happy today
Every day is different
Every day with a new feelin' or
Dealin' with shit in a new way
I'm different
Than I used to be it's not new to me
But still feeling the same way
A bad day a good way
Ain't no way to figure it out
I gotta figure it out
It's all in my head and
I know it, I know it, I know it
Not tryna fall back I'm
Not tryna go back to
No control no control ohh no control
Days go by like Monday Tuesday
I say I will Wednesday Thursday
Friday this will be my week
Maybe I’ll get off my feet
And fly and fly and fly
Oh oh oh
Days go by like Monday Tuesday
I say I will Wednesday Thursday
Friday maybe this will be my week
Maybe I’ll get off my feet
And fly and fly and fly and fly
Oh oh oh oh it’s
Not about you or your love
Or my mind or the time of the day
Nothing else I can say
They say it'll be okay be okay
Just sleep on it
Sleep is the devil that keeps me
awake
Sleep is the reason I'm going insane
I’d stay here all day
I'm happy this way
Sleep is the devil that keeps me awake
Sleep is the reason I'm going insane
I’d stay here all day
I'm happy this way
Not tryna fall back I'm
Not tryna go back to
No control no control no control
And everyday is different.

Man Dies After He Tripped On Sidewalk
http://www.sanduskyregister.com/article/1753306Life is dangerous, even when out walking.
Richard Petrak and friends were visiting South Bass Island on June 4, 2011 and docked at B Dock, part of the DeRivera Park in the village...Early that morning, he tripped on the sidewalk, broke his neck and died..."Yes, he had been drinking," attorney Tom DeBacco said.
Drinking and walking, a double whammy. Two activities to ban for the price of one.
Should we ignore education in this discussion?
There are many kids who drive themselves extremely hard to maintain an 4.0 average, join school sponsored clubs, take on every form of extra credit and do as much community work as time allows in an effort to earn admittance and/or a scholarship to an Ivy League school. For some of them the stress factor is as mentally damaging as football injuries are to high school players.
How do you propose we protect these kids? Surely not by banning education.
