Saw an interesting video.  Is this "3" the number three?  No it's not, it's a representation of the number three as is III etc, so what and where is the number 3?  Which of our senses can we identify the number three with?

I'm not sure where the line is but isn't this concerning?
NYC closes school w/o any cdc or science recommendations (remember believe the science/scientist?)
the various group limits (even though they violate their own orders)
asking neighbors to report other neighbors
closing bars at 5pm (11-25-20)

where's the scientific basis for all these "orders"?  What happened to listen to the scientist?
who and how are these orders made?
why?
feel free to add to the list, I'm sure there's a lot more examples.

while all the questions and debates rage on, thought I'd add some fuel to the fire.

When someone tests positive are all the family members tested as well?  I haven't heard of entire families being infected at a rate one would expect from something so contagious.  They actually do contact tracing but there doesn't seem to much information about the findings.

If someone has a positive antibody test, that means they either had it (mild symptoms or asymptomatic)  how about all the people they came into contact with, again family members etc.  shouldn't there be several people they infected?

any hospital surgery or procedure requires a covid test first and they are finding positives as a result, again why aren't at lead one of their family members admitted?  are the family members even tested in these and similar cases?

seems this would be easy enough to figure out, track and report the findings.

I'm not saying covid isn't contagious or dangerous but with this and other lack or misinformation I certainly can understand the confusion and skepticism.

there doesn't appear to be any cut and dry ideas about when to sell and take profits, it's more of a personal choice based on your risk/greed tolerance best I can tell.  As of right now I'm up 23% on my fedex stock which is about 1400bucks pre tax and I haven't owned it a year yet so taxed at a higher rate.  It's tempting to cash it in, but I'll ride it a bit longer.  No real exit plan as buying stocks is a hobby for me not a real source of income.  I don't have the money or knowledge to make any real income.

So what is your exit plan?

not one person had condemned or punished him for what he said, when you can attack someone and involve their children in that setting without reprisal that should say a lot about the state of society.  they have NO moral authority over President Trump.

interesting how that furthers division and harmony in our society, gotta fire up the riots and looters I guess.

I guess the facts just haven't been adequately given to everyone so maybe this will help someone.

don't just blow this video off, there is some very interesting information presented comparing Jamaican blacks and first generation compared to other American blacks.

I would recommend watching is videos with Larry Elder if your mind isn't so closed it won't allow you to.

obviously they are guilty until proven innocent right?

what if we take out emotion?

is this another "hands up don't shoot"?

many many yet to be answered questions.

that aside it's horrible whenever anything like this happens to anyone.

this will not end in a murder conviction, manslaughter at best, though some kind of negligence is probably more realistic.

Gun-Rights Activist Releases Blueprints for Digital Guns
Cody Wilson calls the move impervious to legal challenge

first I'd like to say "I told you so" to those who argued about it in the past, so there.

actually it won't really matter much, March was a record setting gun sales month.  But this looks like it will create a new twist for the gun grabbers.  They may want to rethink their windmill battle.

let's see, he called a guy fat, stupid, threatened to slap someone, then what he called that woman, claimed it was from a movie, but it wasn't, yet he jumped on the Trump said bad stuff!!!

we don't really expect the media to be consistent either but then we wonder why the country is do divided?  Sure Trump hasn't really helped that situation as much as he could (imo) However if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem, right?

This division will get wider, how could it not, when there isn't fair and equal treatment/standards, at least attempt a good fake at it.

this is a classic weekend at Bernie's, they will prop him up in hopes to get elected then deem him unfit and replace him with the v.p.

it's funny the claim that Trump is dangerous, Joe is dangerous, should he be elected I really do hope he is replaced, I am genuinely concerned.

Let's assume there is a God like the general Christian definition.

I often hear of all the things we must do in the here and now and what we might do in the afterlife etc.  

But what does God do?  Just observe?  What is written?

who would you want to be president in 2020?  They are slowing the process, dragging their feet in hopes Trump won't be president in 2020 imo.  Which means at some point Trump will have to push harder and be more aggressive, unless he's really that confident he will win in 2020.

Truth is, the Democrats aren’t leveling with the public about the billions we are already forced to spend on shelters, food, diapers, medical care and child care for migrants sneaking across the border and claiming asylum. Not to mention the costs of public schooling and health care provided free to migrants once they are released into communities.
By deterring illegal crossings, the Wall will pay for itself in less than two years. It’s a bargain.
interesting, considering it's not coming from a right wing source
  • Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on word and story selection that moderately favors the left, but highly factual and considered one of the most reliable sources for information due to proper sourcing and well respected journalists/editors.
I was a bit on the fence (pun intended) on the issue, but not after ready that article.

American Engagement Technologies (AET), a firm run by former Obama appointee Mikey Dickerson, which received $750,000 from Hoffman and was part of the effort to falsely portray the Republican’s senate bid as being supported by the Kremlin.

notice the outrage and coverage by the Left......I mean lack of.

Democratic operatives then created thousands of fake Russian accounts on Twitter and began following Moore, prompting attention from local and national media that falsely suggested Russia is backing Moore’s candidacy.

brilliant idea LOL, so I can pass the background check, sell it on the black market and make big bucks, then there are those who reload.....
This sort of thing should be stuck down by the Supreme Court as being overly burdensome and unconstitutional.

oh and criminals don't practice, hunt or train generally, it's an extremely useless gesture if it's actually about crime and criminals.  Criminals already don't get back ground checks hence the title, criminal.......duh.

for most places (if not all) medication samples are a thing of the past.  it's good and bad like most things.  they often were given to people who couldn't afford them or had high co-pays.  I like the idea of try it before you buy it, but since nothing was free they calculated the cost of the samples in what was actually sold.  did stopping the samples decrease the medication costs?  I doubt it.  I don't believe it had any real effect on what was prescribed either, not in my experience anyway.
was stopping the samples have more positives and negatives?

I win a lot too, though they don't know I win, because they don't know we are racing.  You know that jackass driver who keeps cutting in front of people only to stop at the light.  I skillfully judge which lane is moving faster, look in the distance for trucks or potential slow moving vehicles and choose wisely.  If they are in the slower lane, or they are racing a head in the left lane knowing they need to turn right, I don't let them in front of me.  The best is when you make the light and they don't, bonus points for that.

Seems I've read somewhere that android phones will soon have to be 'unlocked" meaning you can use the phone with which ever carrier you wish.  My guess is they will figure out a way to keep control over the device if it's on a payment plan, which makes sense.  Though once the phone is paid, it's yours and they shouldn't have any control over it any longer.

Unfortunately my internet sucks on Mondays because of my location.
Anyway i read this but can't verify the details.
The trek is 1700 miles from start to finish?
How does that many people randomly organize so well and I guess quickly?  I mean these are poor people right?  No cell phones or much in the way of communication devices.  Are the videos of a guy passing out money (he's armed) to the crowd legit, have some of these people been paid to do this trek?

If the 1700 miles is close let's do some math.  Average person walks 3 miles per hour.  So in 8 hours about 24 miles, let's make it 25 for ease of math.  If the 1700 miles is close that means if you keep up the pace of 3 mph for 8 hours a day it would take you 68 days to travel that distance.  How do you carry enough food for that many days?  You'd have to be some kind of major athlete to even attempt that, unlike the women and children pictured.  i'm not really a conspiracy theorist but this is extremely puzzling.

Whether you agree with legal weed or not doesn't matter, but why stop there?  Legalize amphetamines like a.d.d. drugs.  Benzos are the only things you have to ween off of because of withdrawal risks (if I remember correctly) sure there's unpleasant withdrawal with other drugs but those aren't life threatening, so that's the chance you take.
