I Am Sure Neo-Nazis Everywhere Will Be Pleased

 9/7/20 Breitbart:

Two women hope to create an all-black community in central Georgia as a way to deal with “400 years of racial oppression.”

Microsoft News used a “good news” tag for the report, which said that as the United States “continues to confront the toxic legacy of slavery and Jim Crow,” the women want to create “a tight-knit community for our people to just come and breathe”:

America would not be better off segregated by race.  But all the gang members they want to invite in to "breathe": please! 

Remember when segregation was bad?

The First Nice Day in Weeks

For a couple odd weeks ast least, it had been so hot in the afternoon that sitting on the back porch reading would have miserable even though it is in the afternoon shade.  Today it is too cold to sit back there.  Instead I am reading science fiction on the front porch.  Even direct sunlight is tolerable at these temperatures. 

I Always Wondered Why I Like Indian Food So Much

 9/7/20 Belfast Telegraph:

A restaurant in Co Down was used to launder cash for one of the largest criminal enterprises in the UK.

The Taj Tandoori, in Bangor, had deposits in its accounts that came from Alam Zeb Khan's £180million heroin empire.

Last week the National Crime Agency (NCA), which was part of the taskforce that busted the drugs gangs in 2014, announced it had recovered £17million from the cartel's property portfolio.

That included three properties in Bangor and 56 private residences rented out in Birmingham, where the gang was based.

The network was controlled by Alam Zeb Khan, who is serving jail time for importing heroin and money laundering.

I Am Not Calling This Pop the Champagne News, But Still

 9/8/20 Belfast Telegraph:

Coronavirus patients can suffer long-term lung and heart damage but for many this tends to improve over time, a study suggests.

Researchers in the Tyrolean region of Austria recruited coronavirus patients who had been admitted to hospital, and at the European Respiratory Society International Congress today they reported on the first 86 patients enrolled between April 29 and June 9.

The patients were scheduled to return for evaluation six, 12 and 24 weeks after being discharged.

On their first visit, more than half had at least one persistent symptom, predominantly breathlessness and coughing, and CT scans still showed lung damage in 88% of patients.

But by the time of their next visit, 12 weeks after discharge, the symptoms had improved, and lung damage was reduced to 56%.

Gullibility Testing

 Over the years, I have seen a lot of very kooky things on the Internet.  I invented the quote: "Not every quotation on the Internet is true." -- Abraham Lincoln  One of my favorites was a website that explained:

1. The Earth is 6000 years old.

2. The Earth is flat.

3. 9/11 was an inside job.

The latest piece of amazing knowledge was an email about a Hollywood insider makes a video that rolls COVID-19, Jeffrey Epstein breeding babies for Satanic sacrifice as well as rape.  And the part that made my eyes roll Linda Blair style:

It is not mentioned in this video but Covid 19 has been used as a cover while specially trained military teams have raided and release hundreds of thousands all over the world. they were being kept in massive tunnel systems in every country as well as the Vatican where 1000 were released after a raid

These tunnels go back thousands of years along with the newer ones. After rescue some of the tunnels are being blown up. It has been estimated that if the tunnels were filled with sea water the ocean level would drop 300 feet.

 I sometimes wonder if these will be part of a sociologist's doctoral dissertation: "'I Saw it on the Internet': Popular Gullibility as the Basis for Elite Proletariat Rule"

Not Born Into Being Human

 Small Dead Animals (one of my favorite blogs) has video of a racism trainer explaining that not only are all white people racist but that they cannot work past it, and "I believe white people are born not into being human."  It appears to be one of those mandatory corporate training exercises.  I would love to see the corporate CEO explain why requiring (or even paying for this a voluntary training) does not qualify as creating a hostile work environment.

PowerlineBlog says this clip was from a training of Seattle City employees three years ago.  https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/09/is-critical-race-training-illegal.php Apparently the Justice Department is asking questions about the legality of imposing this on employees based on their depraved perhaps non human race.

Refusing to Concede in November

 Powerlineblog points that the Democrats have this fantasy that Trump will refuse to accept defeat.  (Like they did in 2016?)  But the 12th Amendment defines the procedure pretty clearly:

The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.

Every state gets one vote.  While Democrats have a majority of Representatives right now, if you group them by state, how many states are majority Democrat Representatives and how many majority Republican Representatives?  Much of the Democrat majority in the House are high population states like California and New York, where having most of them being Democrat assures only that state of picking Biden.  But the total number of Representatives is very close to the number of Electoral votes.  Has anyone added up the number of D and R Representatives by state?  I suspect that the preponderance of Democrats in single states will make a House vote a Trump victory, with predictable ranting about Trump stealing the election.

One of you clever people noticed:

The Twelfth Amendment mandates Congress assemble in joint session to count the electoral votes and declare the winners of the election.^[106] The session is ordinarily required to take place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors.^[107] Since the Twentieth Amendment, the newly elected Congress declares the winner of the election; all elections before 1936 were determined by the outgoing House.

So a Republican sweep of Congress, which I expect, would still likely put Trump back in office and Nancy Pelosi in apoplexy.
