• It's important to remember that Republicans refused to take COVID-19 seriously because, at first, it was only killing people in majority Democrat cities.
• Republican Tate Reeves, seeing his state crash and burn like Florida and Texas, has finally decides to finally pump the brakes. It's too little too late, but it's better than nothing. He's requiring masks and requiring distance learning for the more crowded districts. Meanwhile, Republicans are suing Nevada for trying to keep voters safe during the pandemic, but encouraging it in Florida. And Trump, still refusing to actually do anything, tells people COVID-19 will go away on it's own, some day.
• Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who refuses to do anything to prevent citizens from dropping down dead all around him, admits that he purposely made his state's unemployment system harder than it needs to be in order to prevent people from having access.
• Police brutality is being documented at an unprecedented rate.
• "Law and Order" president Trump is being sued again for breaking the law. This time for constant copyright infringement even after it was made clear that he was breaking the law.

• COVID-19 deaths continue to accelerate in the USA, but don't worry, the official Republican response is, "it is what it is." But wait, it gets better; they also claim that quarantines don't prevent infection! Might as well get out there and die for the students. Just look at Gwinnett County Public Schools. They're only open to faculty, but already 260 employees had to be sent home for quarantine!
• Trump says he doesn't know who John Lewis is (of course he doesn't, John Lewis was a black man who fought for civil rights, why would Trump know anything about him?), and then goes on to say he's done more for black people than the civil rights leader. In reality, Trump has a long history of being openly racist.
• The Lincoln Project wants to return to a time when Republicans were mass-murdering people in a respectful way. They are not helping, they are not trustworthy, and Lincoln was not a modern day Republican. The enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend.
• American churches have received as much as $10,000,000,000 of taxpayer money in COVID-19 relief, even though the first amendment implies they shouldn't, and even though they continue to eschew masks and social distancing. They're killing their congregations, but they still want more!
• In order to try to eliminate as many minorities from the US Census, Republicans are purposely shutting down the field work counting program a month early.
• White Americans really don't want to talk about the nation's extremely racist past. They don't even want to talk about our slightly less-extremely racist present. But police continue to target black people. Breonna Taylor's murderers are still at large. Colorado police pulled their guns on several black children one only 6-years-old, and handcuffed them face down on the pavement because they thought the vehicle they were in was stolen. As the children cried for their mothers, the police finally realized that they incompetently mistook their blue minivan for an out-of-state stolen motorcycle. India Johnson and Yasmeen Winston, two black mothers with their infant babies were violently attacked by Secret Service while on vacation in Washington D.C. Secret Service agents purposely crashed into their car, handcuffed them (without wearing masks), and yanked them away from their screaming babies. Then, the Secret Service ransacked their vehicle without a warrant. In the end, Secret Service claimed they thought the two mothers were two black men in a stolen car, but, since they obviously weren't and were able to prove ownership of the vehicle, the Secret Service told them to leave, but refused to apologize for their brutality.

• Why are Republicans totally botching their COVID-19 response? Because, when it initially hit New York, California, and Detroit, they assumed it was only going to affect cities (i.e., Democrats), so they purposely dragged their feet because they were glad to see Democrats die. It wasn't until the virus started affecting Republican cities that Trump finally decided to put on a mask and started admitting things were bad, although, true to form, he's still promoting Dr. Demon Semen, and his untrained hirelings don't know what they're doing. And, no matter how bad things get, not matter how many people die, Trump will never stop forcing us to pay for his laziness.
• Just a reminder, in democracies, leaders don't suggest not having proper elections, and leaders don't remain quiet as entire cities are overrun with paramilitary.
• This same story could be posted every day for the next few months just with a different person's name: another Conservative leader, today is Monsignor Charles Pope, who preached against wearing masks and urged people to continue to congregate, has tested positive for COVID-19.
• Republican Roy Moore's lawsuit against the people who implied he is a pedophile might backfire as they are asking to be allowed to have legal interviews with all the women who have accused him of sexually molesting them when they were teens and he was an adult man.
• Department of Homeland Security under secretary Brian Murphy, has been reassigned after it came out that he was spying on American journalists for Republicans!
• Why is the Navy using the likeness of black civilians for their attack dog training?
• Although they should also be divested, Trump's daughter and son-in-law are somehow gaining $36,000,000 a year.
• Another selfish and mentally-unstable man pulls out a gun and starts shooting at people, including cops, after being told he needs to wear a mask.

My aunt challenged me to watch a Christian sermon, and I've published my notes and began a page for the preacher who gave it, John MacArthur. I've also added a page for the card game, Tut's Tomb.

• A poll by PRRI shows what many people have suspected. Conservative white Christians are the least likely to help refugees, care almost nothing about the LGBT or racial inequality, are the only group that thinks Trump hasn't disgraced the Presidency, and think churches are handling their sexual assault issues just fine. They are literally the worst. Just watch how they react to a simple Black Lives Matter sign. Meanwhile, black women are actually getting things done.
• After Republicans ordered hospitals to stop giving their COVID-19 data to experts and instead give it to Jared Kushner's college roommate, a whole lot of that data is no longer being shown to the public.
• When there is a disaster, medics will quickly assess everyone in a triage to see who needs the most immediate care, and who is a lost cause. This is a wise way of handling things, because it doesn't waste resources on people who can't be save, or who are not in immediate danger. Republicans don't understand this concept, or they would have performed a triage on the USA, and sent masks and ventilators to the hospitals that needed them most. By failing to be leaders, states and hospitals all had to fight over protective equipment and ventilators, and ended up wasting $500,000,000!
• Literally the very next day after Trump suggested postponing the presidential election, the White House denounced the Chinese government postponing the election in Hong Kong.
• Republican Bryant "Corky" Messner claims that his charity, the Messner Foundation, helps poor kids go to college. It doesn't. It helps private schools build baseball fields.
• The Republican Gestapo appear to be pulling out of Portland, Oregon.
• Republicans are now faced with the task of defending Trump's love of Dr. Demon Semen.

• COVID-19 is still getting worse in the USA. Yesterday, there were 66,000 new cases, and 1,400 deaths. But don't fall for the clickbait, vaccines are looking good, we just won't have them for another year.
• Republicans Herman Cain and Louie Gohmert refused to wear masks. Hermain Cain just died from COVID, and Louie Gohmert tested positive. You would think that would be his wake up call, but conspiracy theorists don't learn from their mistakes. Rather than immediately self-isolate and seek antibody treatment, Gohmert went around in public, maskless, to find a quack doctor who is willing to treat him with proven not to work Trump pills, hydroxychloroquine, and zinc, which was touted by Trump's demon-semen doctor.
• For the past 50 years, Republican president have always tanked the economy, but none have done it worse than Trump. The US economy has just seen the biggest drop in modern history.
• Fox pundits use a very different tone when federal agents are deployed to stop black protesters instead of white terrorists.
• Churches, spurred on by Republicans, are keeping the COVID-19 pandemic alive.
• Republicans have made sure the COVID-19 relief bill includes money for a new FBI building. Odd thing to have in a bill to help sick people, you might say, until you find out it's right next to a Trump property.
• In an effort to appeal to suburban voters, Trump says tells them that they will never have to worry that poor people might live near them. How utterly disgusting.
• Trump continues to wage war on our environment.
• The popular Republican argument that the $600 unemployment increase for COVID-19 relief caused people to stop looking for work was shown by researchers from Yale University to be false.

Police in Little Rock, Arkansas murdered Lionel Morris by tasing him and crushing his body until he stopped breathing. Morris was unarmed and begging for help saying he couldn't breathe, but police ignored his pleas. Police blamed Morris's death on drug use, and the mayor requested the officers who murdered him be given a paid vacation. Also, officer Philip Brailsford, who shot an unarmed man with an AR-15 rifle five times, killing him, has been found not guilty on all counts.

Luis Orlando Santos Santiago and detained a black teen on his way to basketball practice.

They later arrested Santiago for false imprisonment.

• Democrats are trying to get more money into the pockets of hurting citizens, but Republicans are holding the relief money hostage, even as they keep testing positive, until they get another $30,000,000,000 for buying fighter jets and military weapons. Petulant child that he is, Trump whines that Anthony Fauci is getting more praise than he is. So, Trump once again threw him under the bus, this time claiming it was Fauci who told people to take hydroxychloroquine, even though it was Trump who was peddling it. So, Trump is looking for a replacement doctor, and his first pick is Stella Immanuel, a person who hates masks and, like Trump, thinks hydroxychloroquine cures the virus, but also thinks people have DNA from aliens and have sex with demons when they're dreaming. Meanwhile, spurred on by the failed anti-science violent beliefs of Republicans, people keep attacking store employees who insist they wear masks.
• The Republican paramilitary group that is terrorizing peaceful protesters is actively targeting the press and medics. A federal judge ordered them to stop, but they're continuing to do it anyway because they know Republicans will protect them no matter how much they violate the constitution. In fact, after unmarked police randomly kidnap innocent people off the streets, they are only releasing them if they agree to suspend their first amendment rights!
• The infamous "umbrella man," who committed several acts of vandalism in an attempt to trick BLM protesters into rioting appears to have been caught, and is a noted white supremacist. He has yet to be charged with any crimes, but, if he is, I suspect Trump with pardon him.
• Many nations have said they were aware of a Russian bounty on US soldiers, but Republicans did nothing about it, and Trump has even admitted that he still hasn't even spoke to Putin about it. Why? Because he's beholden to Putin.
• Republican Tom Cotton doesn't want children to learn about slavery in school.
• Trump is not intelligent.
• Elon Musk keeps trying to get on people's good side because he's just a bro, but he's actually quite evil.
• After a public library published their pro-diversity charter saying they oppose violence, racism, and disregard for human rights, and think that the lives of black people matter, Republican Daniel Coverley, Sheriff of Douglas County, Nevada, told them he will see to it that police no longer respond to emergency calls! If you ever want to know how to spot a white supremacist, look at Sheriff Daniel Coverley.

• American health care can't even handle our usual number of sick people, now it's collapsing under the weight of COVID-19, and, rather than use their connections with the gods, churches are only making things worse, as is President Yam, and his stupid son.
• Paramilitary and police in Eugene, Oregon singled out a 14-year-old girl protesting against police brutality and violently attacked her. And it's dangerous people like teenage girls that has led Republicans to send in another 150 unlisted men armed with guns.
• Trump had no interest in throwing out a first pitch for a baseball game... until he learned that Dr. Anthony Fauci was invited to throw the first pitch for the season opener of the Yankees. Refusing to let someone more deserving get credit, Trump then invited himself to do it instead, which was news both to the Yankees and Trump's own staff. I guess that dementia test he won't stop bragging about was really asshole test. No wonder he aced it.
• As most decent people honored the life of civil rights activist John Lewis, Republican Will Dismukes attended a party which honored the first KKK grand wizard. Dismukes hasn't apologized, and was even surprised that people would make the connection. Dismukes thought he was only honoring a Confederate General, the fact that he was also the head of the KKK didn't even cross his mind. This is what happens when people mentally divorce the Confederacy from slavery.
• Knowing that his fellow Republicans will do nothing about it, Trump isn't even trying to hide his corruption anymore.
• David T. Hines shows precisely what it wrong with giving money to business owners instead of workers. He received $4,000,000 in COVID-19 relief, and then spent it on himself buying jewels, fancy suits, and a Lamborghini.

• Just a reminder that the President of the USA, Republican Donald Trump, sends his well wishes to an accused child rape trafficker, you know, when he isn't pardoning convicted criminals and calling peaceful protesters "terrorists."
• The way Conservatives are ignoring COVID-19 today is eerily similar to the way Conservatives responded to the Spanish Flu in 1918 which killed tens of millions of people. Florida with a large elderly population, is especially vulnerable, but Republican Governor DeSantis has no problem watching his people die. Also, churches don't seem to be very effective at spreading Christianity any more (the religion has been dying around the world), but they've become especially good at spreading COVID-19.
• Because they refuse to take COVID-19 seriously, even Trump's National Security Advisor, Republican Robert O'Brien, is now infected, Republicans have caused the worst unemployment disaster in several decades, and now they're trying to cut unemployment payments to a third of their normal amount.
• The hired goons of the Republicans aren't just violently attacking peaceful protesters, they're also attacking journalists and medics. This is causing the United Nations to rebuke our government.
• Republican Kirstjen Nielsen, one of the people responsible for putting refugee children in make-shift prisons, recently said that Republicans have never had a policy of locking up children, even though she was the person who signed the memo which began the process.
• Republican Ted Yoho, who said he wouldn't apologize for his faith in his god which somehow required him to call his colleague "disgusting" and a "fucking bitch," has been kicked off the board of a Christian food bank. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's response is much more interesting as she delivers a scathing rebuke to Yoho's misogyny.
• Republican Tom Cotton continues to fight to prevent US history classes from teaching children about America's racist past.
• An anti-Democrat (read pro-Trump) couple shopped at Walmart while wearing Nazi flags as face masks.
• Republican Kayleigh McEnany lied that violent crime is finally starting to decline in the USA. However, the US has been seeing a steady decline for the past 30 years.
• A man attempting to drive through a Black Lives Matter Protest took out a gun and murdered one of the protesters, Garrett Foster, shooting him five times. Texas police apprehended the gunman, but, after he said he only shot Foster because Foster pointed a gun at him, the police let him go!

Of course, they're still pushing to have public schools all over the country opened in a month. Well, all of the schools, except for those their own children attend. No matter how many times they protect their own interests, Republicans continue to deny the severity of the pandemic.
• Republicans are sending more untrained paramilitary troops to cities and not even informing the mayors of their presence!
• Because Republicans are actively raping, robbing, and violating the human rights of refugee seekers, Canadian courts have ruled that refugees who reach Canada can no longer be turned back into the USA since the USA will imprison them.

• Republican Ted Yoho, the man who called his female colleague a "fucking bitch," refuses to apologize because he somehow believes his anti-woman outburst is proof he loves his god.
• China is closing a US consulate in retaliation for the misguided Republican offensive.

• The bodies keep piling up and Republicans don't care. Texas spiked at just under 200 deaths in a single day, more than most countries, and an additional 11,000 hospitalizations! Meanwhile, Republicans are still trying their damnedest to force children back to school next month with Betsy DeVos boldly claiming that sending children back to school is not "in any way dangerous" because, as she claims, infected children aren't contagious! For evidence, she sites a study from Germany which hasn't been peer-reviewed or even published! The reality, is, DeVos only cares about one child, Trump, and she and other Republicans haven't even taken the first step toward making a plan to keep children safe. And while Republican's are completely against contact tracing for American's, they're using it to track down who brought COVID-19 into the White House cafeteria.
• Republicans are deploying more untrained para-military troops around the country to stamp out the first amendment rights of all Americans who disagree with Trump (which has always been a majority). Even journalists and city mayors are being attacked with semi-lethal weapons banned in warfare.
• As Trump watches his poll numbers slide down the drain, he resorts to an old favorite used by despots throughout history: blame foreigners.

• More para-military troops are being sent to other cities an at attempt to stop all protests, but they're only making things worse by "proactively" arresting (AKA kidnapping) innocent people. Republicans do not care that they're violating the first amendment of the US Constitution, they will continue to try and stop all protests to make their party look better. A wall of mothers stood arm-in-arm to protect protesters from these violent unmarked troops. They were quite sure even Republican goons wouldn't attack them. They were wrong. The Republican's troops shot at them with semi-lethal rounds.
• Republicans have been ardently anti mask for months now, so, what better time for Trump to suddenly flip-flop and say, not only are they extremely important, but wearing one makes you a patriot. Multiple states are now enforcing quarantines when people from the stupider more infected states want to enter. A wise move since the actual number of COVID-19 cases (and deaths) in the USA is actually a lot higher than the official total. Thankfully, Republicans in Utah have devised a new strategy to solve the virus, no, they're not wearing masks, they're going to issue a proclamation about praying to their god.
• Ghislaine Maxwell has been charged with orchestrating a system of trafficking children, grooming them to be raped by upper class businessmen, and then lying under oath to protect the rapists. Trump said, in a completely sincere manner, "I just wish her well, frankly."
• Even if Trump started the presidency with not a cent to his name, his massive campaign of corruption would have him leave as a millionaire. He's always been willing to watch people die in order to get rich, the presidency has just given him the opportunity to prove it.
• The current Republican administration has violated the US Constitution about a dozen times in the past couple years. Their latest attack comes in the form of violating the 14th amendment by excluding from the census the people they don't like.
• Yet another prominent Republican, Larry Householder, was arrested in a massive bribery scandal of $60,000,000! I wonder when Trump will pardon him?
• You know you're a horrible liar when you're called out by a rag like Fox.
• Republicans have ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Texas. This will not end well.

Police violently attacked another unarmed innocent black man. Stanley Gracius went to Walmart to buy a bike for his son. He tested the bike out in the store by riding it down the isles a couple times (something I myself have done multiple times). He was also listening to loud music on his phone, so a manager told him he was being disruptive and had to leave. Gracius didn't like that, and mouthed off to the manager, but still bought the bike and left with a receipt in hand. What he didn't know is the manager had already called the police and, just as he walked out, the police tried to arrest him. As any black man knows, police are extremely dangerous and libel to murder you no matter what you've done. Rather than die quietly, Gracius demanded to know why he was being arrested for when he had the receipt to prove he paid for the bike. As usual, police failed to deescalate the situation and instead tackled the man to the ground, tased him, and then hogtied him with a belt! Gracius has since been charged with the typical trumped up charges including aggravated assault, simple assault and disorderly conduct, even though police assaulted him, and disarming law enforcement officer which seems unlikely.

• The Republican invasion force in Portland have been violently attacking unarmed peaceful protesters ever since they arrived, and one in particular is getting a lot of bad press. Navy veteran Christopher David stood his ground as jackbooted thugs wailed on him with clubs, shattering the bones in his hand. Trump also plans on sending his hired goons to other major cities where people don't like him, including Detroit.

• The WHO (now minus the USA because of Republicans) has reported another record increase in COVID-19 cases, so, naturally, Republicans are trying to block additional funding for COVID-19 testing because they don't care how many Americans die, they don't even want you to know about it, they have to make it look like the USA isn't burning to the ground. Trump personally described the 143,000 dead Americans as some people who "have the sniffles." Meanwhile, Republican John Bel Edwards, Governor of Louisiana is asking people to stave themselves for three days to appease his god to stop COVID-19. And, while a strong science education will help, it alone won't fix these morons.

• How racist is America? Judge Mary Ellen Brennan had a 15-year-old black girl arrested and detained for failing to complete her online homework.
• Why hasn't the USA incorporated any new states in so long? Because the candidates (Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, etc.) are all liberal states, and Republicans don't want to allow a new state into the Union that will upset their Senate majority.
• Republicans will say any lie to convince people that voting can't be trusted, even say dogs are voting.
• Republicans have released rules on how federally-funded homeless shelters can deny shelter to transgender women. If the woman isn't short enough, hasn't removed enough of her body hair, or doesn't have a smooth enough neck, the shelter is allowed to demand to see a government identification, and, if they don't have it or refuse to show it, the shelter is allowed to say their religion allows them to deny shelter.

• The USA has beaten its own record again by having over 70,000 cases of COVID-19 in a single day, but Republicans are still vehemently anti mask. And, despite Republicans clinging to testing aberrations in Florida as a reason to downplay COVID-19, Florida's own emergency operation center just closed after a dozen workers tested positive for COVID-19. Georgia too has hit capacity in several hospitals. The fact is, Republicans just don't care about science or data, they just want to make things look like they're normal to get Trump reelected.
• Because the virus has effectively killed several entire industries, more Americans are out of work than ever before. Rather than assure Americans that they won't be kicked to the streets when they can't afford their mortgages, Republicans are telling Americans to find some new way to make money. Of course, if they can't...
• No, Michigan Democrats did not stick COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes. The reality is, they've created rules preventing that from happening.
• Republican Thom Tillis made a racist statement saying the reason Hispanics have more COVID-19 cases because they're less likely to social distance or wear masks. In reality, the reason minorities tend to get COVID-19 more is for the same reason they're paid less, have less access to clean water, and are generally treated worse by Americans, because our nation is really racist.
• There is some hope with vaccines, as the early trials are looking good, but they still won't be ready until next year, so we need to maintain constant vigilance until then.
• Republican Chad Wolf, acting director of the Department of Homeland Security, issued a long list of crimes committed by what he calls a "mob" of "violent anarchists" in order to justify sending unwanted federal officers in Portland, Oregon. The so-called "violent crimes" listed are just minor acts of graffiti, but that's not stopping unmarked DHS from kidnapping protesters. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is banning Confederate flags from all military buildings. That's progress, but what black people really want banned is systemic racism.
• Republican Mike Pompeo, a Christian Nationalist, makes it very clear that he believes "human rights" only apply to Christians.
• Republicans still don't want gay people to be allowed to donate blood, even though there isn't an associated risk any more.

• Like all Southern Republican states, Georgia is seeing a massive spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths because they refuse to take even basic precautions. Some of the less stupid counties took it upon themselves to issue mask laws, the bare minimum of hygiene, but Governor Brian Kemp just issued an order banning all counties in his state from creating mask laws. Republicans would rather see you dead than admit they messed up, and now they're disposing of the murder weapon.
• Despite the catastrophic rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the nation, Republicans are still pushing extremely hard to force schools to reopen. The party that always cuts funding to schools now wants to pretend that they're extremely important, but they only want to give the illusion of a country running well to make their party look good, they don't care about educating children or even if they live. A school district in Missouri is asking parents to sign a COVID-19 death waiver for any student involved in sports. The waiver prevents the parents from suing the school even if a student's death is "caused by the negligence or carelessness" of the school staff. In Michigan, the Republican-majority Education Committee is debating whether the state should open schools, but they're not allowing teachers to give input.
• Republican Rush Limbaugh, who thought the 19 in COVID-19 referred to the number of previous COVID viruses, suggests that Americans should adapt to the virus like the Donner Party adapted to cannibalism.

• Republicans have pulled the USA out of the World Health Organization, and is now pulling us out of the Centers For Disease Control, demanding that hospitals send all their data to the White House and not the CDC. This will prevent the CDC from being able to track the disease and cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands more people. Republicans are also continuing to discredit their own doctors. And what better time to do all of this then when Florida set a new death record for itself even as Republican Governor Ron DeSantis lies about the disease stabilizing. Right now, most Southern Republican states have more deaths than almost every other nation in the world.
• When she's not demanding public schools open without anything even remotely resembling a safety plan, Republican Betsy DeVos is giving US taxpayer money to private religious schools. Republicans do not care about human life, they care about corporations. Just look at the traditionally Conservative Orange County in California which is trying to force their schools to reopen without even putting a mask mandate in place! Republican John Kennedy told concerned teachers not wanting to die to "kiss my ass."

• Republicans suffered another loss in Georgia with their anti-science heartbeat abortion bill.
• The fact that over 130,000 Americans have died because of Republican incompetence is taking away from yet another Republican scandal: the fact that they have done nothing (and are still doing nothing) to address the Russian bounty on US soldiers. Thankfully, tireless journalists are still doing their job to uncover more details and it looks like Russia's own national intelligence, the GRU, the equivalent to America's CAI, may be the masterminds behind the program.
• An asshole in Michigan didn't want to wear a mask to potentially save the lives of people around him. A 77-year-old man called him out on it, so the man stabbed the old man. When police arrived, the stabber refused to go quietly and pulled his knife on the police, so they shot him to death. Thankfully, the 77-year-old man is in stable condition.

• Florida had 15,300 COVID-19 cases in one day, the largest single-day total of any US state since the beginning of the pandemic, even worse than New York, and Republicans are still trying to force the state to re-open schools next month! Sending your children back to school will spread the disease and kill students and teachers. Having big close-quarters parties will kill people. Encouraging people not to wear masks will kill people. Purposely putting yourself at risk will get you killed. And, anti-science Republicans are doing their best to discredit their own doctors in an attempt to make Trump look less horrible. Remember when Republicans created the lie that the Affordable Care Act would lead to death panels where doctors would decide whose grandparents have to die? Now those same Republicans literally saying they want to sacrifice the elderly to keep the "economy" going.
• Thankfully, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has wisely issued a new state order requiring all Michiganders to wear masks while indoors when they're around people they don't live with. However, Republicans who don't care about living are still refusing to comply, and "law and order" Republican Sheriff Daniel Abbott is refusing to do his job and enforce the rule.

• As the USA sets another record in the number of daily COVID-19 infections, a record once previously held by... the USA (as well as the one before that), Republicans continue to make the problem worse. When drug lobbyist Alex Azar, now in charge of the Health and Human Services, was asked how we could possibly open schools this fall and keep students and faculty safe when we can't even provide enough protective equipment to healthcare workers, the man beholden to pharmaceutical companies and not human beings, flat out lied and said that health care workers don't contract the virus. The reality is 94,000 healthcare workers have contracted COVID-19 from their patients, and over 700 have died trying to save the lives of people often too stupid to wear a mask.
• Tulsa Oklahoma is seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases, and health experts are pinning the blame on Trump's KKK rally.
• Republican Danny McCormick keeps filming himself destroying masks and comparing mask-wearing to the Holocaust. The reality is, hospitals all over the South have reached capacity and this is when the death rate really starts to increase.
• The TSA, led by Republican David Pekoske, is finally increasing their safety regulations to try and keep employees safe from COVID-19, but it took a whistleblowers risking their livelihood for it to happen, and the changes are extremely minimal, and should have been in place to begin with.
• Florida law enforcement finally shut down the church selling bleach as a miracle COVID-19 cure.

• Republicans keep saying that the COVID-19 is harmless to 99% of the people who get it. They're lying. As of yesterday, there have been 3,097,602 confirmed cases and 133,994 deaths. That comes out to a fatality rate in the USA of 4.3%! We don't keep track of the people who come close to dying or have severe reactions, but you can bet it accounts for a large number of the survivors. If we let COVID-19 go unchecked around the nation, we would see 14,180,000 deaths, and probably over 100,000,000 serious cases.
• Republicans on the US Supreme Court have ruled that employers, not doctors, get to decide which medicine and medical services their employees have access to.
• When she isn't misappropriating funds, Republican Betsy DeVos is trying to force all public and charter schools to open in a couple months, even in the most COVID-19 ravaged states. This will kill a lot of parents, children, and school faculty. She is doing this, not because she cares about education, she's made it extremely clear that she doesn't, but because she wants to make things look like they're back to normal to Trump will get more votes. She's trying to make the Republican party look like less of a failure, and she's risking children's lives to do it.

• The USA is the global epicenter for COVID-19, and Florida is quickly becoming the center of that with a massive spike in the number of cases. But the incompetent Republicans in charge aren't just refusing to take proper precautions to decrease the numbers, now they're actively threatening the lives of the state's children by demanding that all schools reopen in a few months! Trump, due to his own failure is blaming the WHO even though they've successfully helped many other countries get the virus under control, so he's officially withdrawing the USA. And, when they're not putting children's lives at risk, Republicans are giving away $10,000,000,000 of your tax dollars to churches instead of businesses and people suffering from COVID-19.
• Trump is a poor deplorable troll.

• Brazilian dictator Jair Bolsonaro, who has been downplaying COVID-19 almost as much as Trump just claimed he has tested positive for it. Although, since he also lies like Trump, this may be a ruse. He might be claiming he is infected, but isn't, and then pretend he has extremely mild symptoms in order to convince his base that the disease isn't dangerous at all.

• COVID-19 cases continue to break records in Florida and Texas and people are dying after contracting the virus at church-sponsored COVID-19 parties, Trump continues to golf and rage-post. Meanwhile, Republicans are turning public hygiene in such a politcal matter that the Anderson County Review, a Republican newspaper in Kansas is comparing mask-wearing to the Holocaust.
• The cops who murdered an innocent unarmed black man, Elijah McClain, will not be charged with any crimes because, the District Attorney claims there isn't any evidence that the cops choking him for a prolonged period of time and forced drug injections were what killed him. Three other cops thought it would be funny to take a picture of themselves pretending to choke someone to death at Elijah McClain's memorial. The cops sent their photo to others in the area, including Jason Rosenblatt, the officer who helped murder McClain, and he responded back with "HaHa." Strangely, the cops in the photo making fun of the murder have been fired, but the cops who actually murdered someone will not be charged.
• Another man used his car as a weapon and purposely crashed into a group of BLM protesters, murdering 24-year-old Summer Taylor and seriously injuring others. Despite the driver being sober and purposely driving around police barriers and the wrong way on a ramp, police can't seem to bring themselves to assign a motive to the driver, and are blaming pedestrians. Two Republican vandalized a Black Lives Matter painting which had a legal city permit, all the while claiming police brutality and racism are "leftist lies."

• Republicans continue their anti-science crusade against COVID-19 and demand the complete reopening of the country. Republican Andy Biggs, of the Arizona Congress, said nobody should trust expert virologists, and lied that the virus is declining in his state when, in fact, Arizona has been seeing a steady increase for the past three months, with an especially big growth in the past few weeks. Mike Pence had to have his trip there delayed because the Secret Service agents who prepared for his visit became infected. Some Republican leaders, after watching their states break records with daily infections, are finally starting to reach for the low bar and require masks in some situations, like Texas Governor Republican Greg Abbott. His mask requirement isn't very comprehensive, as it only applies to places where COVID-19 breakouts have already occurred, and then, only when 20 or more people are grouped together. And they probably still won't actually enforce it. Republicans are still not requiring airline passengers to wear masks, and, with all the recycled air, traveling is especially risky. And outbreaks keep happening in food preparation plants, but there aren't laws in place to force the owners to disclose the nature of the outbreaks, so they're keeping them secret. Since Republicans never care about anything that doesn't directly affect them, hopefully, more will become infected, like former Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain, who became infected at Trump's Tulsa rally.

• With the amount of ignorant people blindly following Trump's lie that COVID-19 is a hoax and people shouldn't wear masks, because he's a ignorant moron, because all the scientific tests show they work, we're soon going to hit 100,000 new cases a day! You know how bad it is when racist white germophiles in Texas hijack the Black Lives Matter protest because they really want to get drunk. Dr. Anne Schuchat at the CDC is speaking candidly: we're screwed. Now that COVID-19 has spread all over the country, we couldn't contain it now even if we tried. Republicans squandered the initial months and refused to implement nation-wide testing or tracing, they refused to make factories for masks and ventilators, and, as hospitals in most major cities are reaching capacity, corpses are going to pile up at an exponential rate. And, as states go back to being in lockdown, landlords are going to start evicting more and more people, and Republicans in Congress are removing safety nets.
• Trump denies hearing about the Russian bounty on US soldiers, until just now, but more and more people are saying that they told him about it several times, even all the way back in 2019! Yet, he's still best buddies with Putin.

• Trump claimed that US military intelligence never told him anything about Russia placing a bounty on American soldiers, but other NATO officials say they were all informed about it, and sources in the White House say Trump was told about it back in February. Trump lied to protect Russia even though Russia is paying people to murder American soldiers.
• Because so Americans, spurred on by ignorant Republicans, can't be bothered to take simple basic steps to protect themselves from COVID-19, the European Union is most likely going to ban Americans from traveling abroad. And who can blame them? My home state of Michigan, took stricter precautions thanks to our Democratic Governor, but now two weeks after restaurant restrictions have been lifted, cases are starting to rise again.
• After Colorado police murdered another unarmed innocent black man, a peaceful vigil was put on with violin players to honor the memory of Elijah McClain. So, naturally, police showed up in riot gear and violently attacked the vigil. Meanwhile, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, one police officer lied that she was being attacked by protesters, so the police shot semi-lethal rounds into peaceful protesters, maiming one woman.
• More evidence that white supremacists are the real terrorists. And speaking of white supremacists, Trump deleted his post where he promoted a man shouting "white power," but he hasn't apologized for it.
• The new deputy White House liaison at the US Agency for International Development is Republican Merritt Corrigan.

• Police in Colorado murdered another unarmed black man. Elijah McClain, only 23-years-old, begged to be set free so that he could go home, but police choked him, crushing both his carotid arteries causing a loss of blood flow to the brain. Even though the man was completely restrained on the ground and hand-cuffed, paramedics injected him with ketamine, a strong anesthesia which stopped the poor man's heart. Hospital staff were able to resuscitate him, but he suffered serious brain damage and died a few days later. The police said, choking a man out and pumping a restrained person full of anesthetics is part of their protocol. In order to protect the police, the local coroner rules that the cause of death was "undetermined." Meanwhile, in Detroit, Michigan, police rammed several Black Lives Matter protesters with their SUV.
• COVID-19 has now surpassed a half-million deaths world wide, none more than in the USA which has as much as the next four deadliest countries combined! The states with the worst increase in cases are mostly Republican and all non-compliant: Florida, Arizona, Texas, South Carolina, and Nevada. Since the Republicans who are in charge have completely failed, they're trying to blame the massive surge on themselves. They're blaming testing and young people, but refuse to suggest it might be Trump golfing amid a global pandemic. And, now that a drug has been discovered that actually helps treat the virus (not the one Trump backed), the manufacturer has set the price at $3,120 for a prescription.
• Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, posted a video online praising a man who shouted out the phrase, "white power!"
• Another American terrorist with an assault rifle opened fire on a peaceful protest murdering at least one person. The protesters were demanding justice for the violent police officers who murdered Breonna Taylor while she slept in her own bed.
• An anonymous EU intelligence officer just told the New York Times that US military intelligence has known for months that Russia has been offering a cash reward to those Taliban troops in Afghanistan who successfully kill a US or UK soldier. Trump responded by saying nobody told him about it, so he's denying that it's happening, and refuses to denounce his boss Putin.

• Trump has claimed COVID-19 was under control, claimed it would be gone by Easter, claimed the warm weather would make it disappear, said a random drug would cure it, etc. Everything he has said about COVID-19 has been wrong, so, now when he says "It's going away," even his own task force doesn't believe him, but Republicans are still canceling research on the disease. The reality is, US testing is so bad, scientists estimate that the country probably has about ten times more cases then we're reporting, and many Southern States are setting new records and having to shut down again, pushing the nation's total cases to the highest its ever been. So, naturally, Trump responds by trying to take away the health care of around 23,000,000 poor people.
• The Republican-led Treasury department sent stimulus checks worth over $1,400,000,000 to dead people. Good work boys.
• Black Lives Matter, but especially the ones who are most at risk, black trans lives. Meanwhile, Trump is a racist.
• Republicans have repeatedly said that the Obama administration didn't have any ventilators available at the end of their term. However, a report published after a Republican investigation shows that the Obama administration actually left them 16,600 ventilators.
• Republican Robert Regan is so racist his own daughter is begging people not to vote for him. And, in order to prove he isn't racist, Regan said that white privileged doesn't exist, and neither does systemic racism, except in abortion clinics who he believes prey on black women. Regan said, on the political scale he's as Right wing as is possible, and his daughter is a zero. Also, in typical Republican fashion, Regan denies the science of climate change, says the USA should make English the official legal language, and should cut back on immigration (Regan is not a Native American).

• Because some people would rather sacrifice their lungs than wear a mask, COVID-19 is now surging even more than it was in April, with over 45,500 cases a day! And, in places where people actually want to protect themselves from COVID-19, like prisons, they're not being allowed to.
• Trump's KKK rally was a dismal failure, but it did succeed in one way, it caused much of the Secret Service to have to self-quarantine because because they were subjected to COVID-19.

He did this to over 40 infants. Thankfully, he was arrested and found guilty, but authorities say they will not investigate any of parents who adopted children illegally through Petersen!

• The Republican incompetence in the face of COVID-19 hasn't just killed over 100,000 people, it's also wasted thousands of tons of food.
• US Navy Captain Brett Crozier raised alarms about a COVID-19 outbreak on his aircraft carrier. Like with the Republican party, his superiors didn't care, and were content with watching the crew die. Crozier did what any decent person would do, he alerted the media to the Navy's ruthless decision. Once it made headline that the Navy was refusing to take care of soldiers, at least some of them were taken off the carrier and given the medical attention they needed, but not until over 1,100 of the crew tested positive! Because he cared so much for the lives of his crew, the Navy stripped Crozier of his command post, and is now saying they won't give him back his command, and, because he didn't blindly obey orders, he will never be given command ever again. For many people, Navy sailors included, this just cements the fact that nobody should ever trust the US military. They will gladly sacrifice your life to protect a despot like Trump.

• Trump's blame train is non-stop to Tulsa! After first violating the first amendment rights of everyone trying to peacefully protest, Trump arrived at his klan rally and took the stage to a stadium with a mere 6,200 morons. He then blamed everyone and everything. He even admitted he asked health officials to slow down testing of COVID-19 thinking, incorrectly, that if we just stopped testing people, the virus would magically go away!
• Republicans tried their damnedest to censor the publication of John Bolton's expose, but it's being shipped, and it's full of evidence that Trump did indeed commit multiple quid pro quos.
• Trump once again fired a man who was supposed to make sure he wasn't breaking the law. Trump ordered William Barr to fire Geoffrey Berman without cause, and Barr did as he was told. Trump is now lying that he had nothing to do with it. I guess Republican Barr just fires people for no reason all the time.
• Republicans are not happy that the US Supreme Court is being all humanitarian.
• There are even Republicans who don't like the idea of police having qualified immunity.
• Tucker Carlson's non-stop racist tirade.

Despite the Southern USA refusing to even try to slow COVID-19, much of the world's reaction to the virus has been pretty good, and they've saved millions of human lives.

Bubba Wallace, the only black NASCAR racer, and the one responsible for organization banning Confederate flags, is now being terrorized by the organization's racist patrons.

As facial recognition software becomes more advanced, the police state becomes more powerful.

Many cops are not only racist, but belong to online racist hate groups. To see just how racist they are, look at Florida police who were caught using photographs of black men as targets in their firing range. One of the targets shot multiple times in the face was the brother of Army Sgt. Valerie Deant, who saw a photo of her brother taken when he was only 18-years-old! The family is outraged, but the chief of police, J. Scott Dennis, said using human faces as targets in their shooting range is completely in-line with their current police policies. The fact that the faces were all black men didn't seem to bother him at all. Also, despite the new law, the NYPD are still choking black men.

I've added a page for the NES Power Pad.

• Senator Kamala Harris explains why Trump's executive order isn't very helpful, the importance of protesting, and the work she's doing to help get Trump out of the White House.
• All through the South people have not been taking COVID-19 seriously, because Trump told them not to, and now the virus is starting to rage out of control.
• Why was a Trump ad using an upside-down red triangle, a symbol used by the Nazis to denote Jewish prisoners? Nobody seems to know, but the ad was pulled from Facebook because it was seen as hate speech.
• A TSA official admits the organization purposely withheld masks from their workers knowing full-well that they would become infected and spread COVID-19.
• Despite Republicans trying to stand in the way, monuments of racist men are being torn down.
• Republicans continue to make voting impossible for as many people of color as possible.
• One of the few non-white people left in the White House has resigned. Mary Elizabeth Taylor, a black woman, just can't in good conscious work for a man as racist a Trump.
• Republicans have been trying to prevent its publication, but John Bolton's book which describes Trump asking multiple foreign leaders to help him win re-election is still finding its way into the public.
• Trump posts another manipulated video, and this time Twitter flags it as such.
• Phoenix City Mayor Chris Luz has been accused of purposely driving his car into protesters and hitting a woman.
• Turns out the belligerent white man who went looking for a fight at a Black Lives Matters protest and got his ass beat and was saved by a black man, is a former cop. Racist police officers isn't just an American problem.

Police get away with murder all the time. Indiana police officer Daniel Organ shot a man in face while he was trying to fix his daughter's car. Officer Organ claimed that the saw that the man had a holstered gun and believed he might shoot him with even though the man never unholstered his gun or did anything to suggest he was violent. The cop will not face charges because the investigation concluded that he was sufficiently scared to murder someone.

Using a single white 30-year-old male as the "generic" human is not good for humanity.

I've added a page for the David Bowie album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.

• Trump's former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, reveals that Trump asked China's president Xi Jinping to help him win re-election, gave China the go-ahead to build internment camps for a religious minority, and admits that Trump did indeed withheld aide from Ukraine and demanded a quid pro quo of them fabricating dirt on the Bidens and Clintons. He also describes Trump as "erratic" and "stunningly uninformed." Yeah, no kidding? As expected, Republican William Barr is trying to block the book's publication and censor as much as possible, but the book has already been sent out to reviewers.
• Racists bringing guns to peaceful protests and shooting people are not "civilian militias," they're terrorists.
• Trump is taking credit for people being aware of the emancipation of slavery in the USA.
• Check a map of the South and watch it lighting up like a Christmas tree with new COVID cases. We're still a long way from getting back to normal, and, until people realize this, there are going to be a lot more body bags.
• Because he never stops being two-faced, Trump signs a minor police reform bill while at the same time applauding violent police.
• Conservative Sheriff Mark Lamb who refused to do his job of enforcing the Arizona state lock down order because he didn't feel like it was necessary. Apparently, Sheriff Lamb fancied himself an epidemiologist, but, not a very good one, because he's now infected with COVID-19. Why would someone who doesn't believe in deadly viruses even get tested? Because he was going to be meeting with Trump who was going to congratulate his lawlessness. Damn, we were so close!
• Bernie Sanders talks about holding police accountable for their actions and the importance of defeating a fascist like Trump.
• Republicans are still doing everything in their power to steal elections.
• Why do all the self-professed "law experts" on Fox have criminal records?
• Because anti-science Republicans were stupid and invested in a drug before there was any concrete evidence that it worked, they're now stuck with 63,000,000 doses of a drug that has been proven incapable of treating COVID-19. Your tax dollars at work.
• Republicans finally got their unqualified pick to head the Agency for Global Media and Michael Pack wasted no time firing most of the upper staff and replacing them with his equally unqualified goons. They are now working to turn the department into another propaganda machine for Republicans.

Another Christian preacher was caught raping children.

I've added a page for the video game genre, graphic adventure, and the media genre adventure.

• Trump is still doing damage control for trying to hijack Juneteenth day with his Klan political rally.
• Juan de Oñate was a Spaniard who went to what is now Albuquerque, New Mexico, and pissed off the natives. They attacked him, so he ordered the murder of around 900 natives, enslaved the survivors, and chopped off the feet of males to keep them weak. He was a monster. White people erected a statue in his honor in the city, and, recently, people congregated around the statue in protest. White men with guns also showed in an attempt to instigate violence, and one of the racist vigilantes, Steven Ray Baca, ended up shooting an unarmed protester multiple times in the chest. The protester is in fighting for his life, and Baca is in jail.
• Air Force Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo fired his rifle at federal security guards, murdering one and critically injuring the other. This wasn't the first time he murdered law enforcement agents. Why? Because he's a "boogaloo boy" a group of white supremacist and anarchist terrorists who are trying to trigger a civil war in the USA.
• Because the South refused to quarantine effectively they're now seeing record numbers of COVID-19 in several states including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma (just before a Trump rally no less), South Carolina, and Texas. One group of friends in Florida celebrated a birthday in a bar and all 16 contracted COVID-19!
• Trump's bone spurs are acting up again.
• Republicans are making it harder for the International Criminal Court to investigate Americans who have been accused of committing war crimes.
• The Republican-controlled Senate voted to dismiss the crime of insider trading against Republican Kelly Loeffler whose family sold close to $20,000,000 in stock just before the pandemic hit the USA. She is a criminal, and the Republicans who protected her are also criminals.
• Why do Republicans treat antifa (with no formal organization) as a terrorist group, but they won't treat the KKK as a terrorist group?
• I'm thrilled that the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of LGBT protections, but don't you dare applaud Gorsuch. All he did was agree that LGBT people deserve basic human rights. He's no hero, he's just a little bit less worse than we thought.

While trying to explain to a black man how white people understand slavery, Christian pastor Louie Giglio said, "we say [slavery] was bad. But we miss the blessing of slavery, that it actually built up the framework for the world that white people live in." Oh yeah, he clearly understands slavery.

I think I missed this in 2018, but some cops were found to be purposely carrying around toy guns so they could plant them on people who they shot to death as an alibi.

Also over the weekend I beat the game, The Legend of Kyrandia: Book One. I also made a graphic to mock Fox for reporting a Monty Python sketch as fact.

• In an effort to prove he's not racist, Trump goes on and on defending US traitors, the Confederate States of America.
• While the US was busy wasting money testing a drug touted by an incompetent orange buffoon who doesn't understand the most basic aspects of human physiology, only to have it proven ineffective and dangerous, the UK found a drug that actually works.
• Pro-life Republicans are going to resume executions after a pro-choice Democrats refused to kill people.
• How might we go about stopping murdering police officers? We need to take down their corrupt racist unions.
• An independent investigative panel concluded that the Nation Oceanic Atmospheric Administration violated their own rules of scientific integrity and ethics when they lied to protect Trump's BS claims about hurricane Dorian. However, since the people at the NOAA who lied are Republicans in a Republican-controlled administration, absolutely nothing will be done about it.
• A lot of people celebrated Donald Trump's birthday by talking about what a great president Barack Obama was.
• Racist UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not believe people should peacefully protest to show support for black lives.

Six important eBay executives, one a former police captain, sent threatening packages including funeral wreaths, live insects, and fake bloody severed pig heads to bloggers who wrote articles critical of eBay! All six were fired and are now being charged with cyber-stalking.

Over the weekend I beat the game, A Normal Lost Phone which was both enjoyable and eye-opening. I also created pages for CGP Grey and Lindsay Ellis.

• Even as every major city in the country is protesting against the police murder of yet another unarmed black man, police murder yet another unarmed black man. This is all expected because American police kill civilians both at a much higher rate and number than any other wealthy nation. They also don't seem to have a problem with pepper-spraying children.
• Fox was with multiple cases of dishonest reporting in the past couple days. The first problem was they took a photo of the Minnesota riot and labeled it as being Seattle. You might assume this was simply a mistake. Ever since Fox fired their entire fact-checking staff they've made all sorts of mistakes like this. However, when they posted an image of Free Cap Hill, it was clear that the Fox was purposely lying to defame Seattle, because they were caught photo-shopping gunmen into photos! And, when they aren't lying to make black people look bad, they're falling prey to Monty Python quotes!
• The number of people who have died from COVID-19 in Brazil has skyrocketed and it's only going to get worse. It's important to remember that the Conservative leader, Jair Bolsonaro, took all the same steps as Trump, from refusing to setup testing, to claiming the virus was no big deal. Hopefully, the US will see their catastrophic failure as a wake up call. Unfortunately, cases are beginning to dramatically rise in the South and West Coast, and Republicans are refusing to acknowledge it.
• Republicans continue their assault on transgender rights even as they're being murdered.
• Rebekah Jones is the scientist who was fired by Florida Republicans because she refused to manipulate the data of COVID-19 to make it look like the state was having fewer cases than they actually were. She's just launched her own site to track the virus.
• Republican Gary Eisen posted a ammunition along with a post saying that as a Conservative, he is preparing to have to shoot law-breaking liberals.
• Though he lacks qualifications, Republican Louis DeJoy paid Trump a lot of money, so he gets to be the new US Postmaster General. He is expected to take one of the few remaining successful government organizations and do what all previous Republicans have done, run it into the ground.
• Despite Evangelicals claiming Trump is a wonderful Christian, he fires Christians for refusing to work on the Sabbath as the bible commands.

The complete anti-science ignorance of religious people, be they Christian, Muslim, or Hindu, is ensuring that COVID-19 will stick around for a very long time. However, if you want to learn about the virus from an actual geneticist, watch this.

I've added a page for Rilo Kiley bassist, Pierre de Reeder.

• Joe Biden was on The Daily Show talking about the importance of stopping Trump from ruining the country and rebuilding once he's out of office.
• As if the non-stop police brutality isn't enough, The Republican-controlled military is issuing live ammunition and bayonets in Washington D.C. I'm surprised Trump was man enough to step out of his bunker, but he needs to go back into hiding. The reality is, we need to take away the bulk of police funding and give it to people who can actually help.
• Republicans are forcing anyone who wants to attend their rallies to sign a waiver saying they won't sue when they get COVID-19, but they also still believe it's a hoax.
• A bot that simply re-posted everything Trump posted on Twitter onto Facebook was flagged for inciting violence. This shows two very important things. First, yes, Trump is inciting violence, and, Two, social media companies do not treat their users fairly.
• Republican Micah Clark says that racism is a hoax because interracial marriage is on the raise. Apparently, the fact that interracial marriage was still a crime in his lifetime doesn't matter.
• Georgia Republicans successfully blocked most of their black population from being able to vote, but they may have gone too far, because they've also prevented a lot of white people from voting, and that is causing a real stir.
• Ohio Republicans are trying to pass a law which would make it a crime for teachers to mark a wrong answer of a test if the student says the wrong answer is part of their religion.
• Customs and Border Patrol was given $112,000,000 of taxpayer money to buy emergency food and medicine for all the refugees they've imprisoned, but, instead, they bought themselves dirt bikes, boats, and ATV.
• OANN, the media outlet Trump has turned to because FOX wasn't quite racist, promised to publish a proper poll which would show Trump winning. They published the poll saying it was pro-Trump, but, after people who actually know how to read polling data pointed out why they were wrong, they retracted their own poll and the message saying they were going to publish it!
• The South Carolina newspaper, Seneca Journal, has issued an apology for publishing a racist cartoon which suggested that all black people are Democrats who are afraid to become Republicans.
• All over American, monuments erected to honor racist traitors are being torn down. This is a good thing.
• NASCAR driver Ray Ciccarelli, who was planning to retire anyway because he's never won a single race, is now pretending he's going to quit because NASCAR won't let him wave a racist flag. Because of this, he's seeing non-stop mockery even from NASCAR fans!
• Most Michiganders support Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, but some vocal crybabies wanted her removed from office because of it. The reality is, by sticking to her guns, she saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Why are gods so terrible at getting their message across?

I've added a list of video game genres, which I'll expand further as time goes on.

• The USA has just passed over 2,000,000 cases of COVID-19 and over 115,000 deaths. Now that most states have lifted all restrictions, a lot of people are talking about a second wave, but, the reality is, most of the USA still hasn't even handled the first wave, they just decided that they no longer care about the most vulnerable people dying.
• As the nation protests violent abusive cops murdering unarmed black people, footage of another black man who was murdered by police surfaces. As Derrick Scott lie dying on the ground, complaining that he can't breathe, one officer says, "I don't care!"
• Michigan Governor, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer has created a state holiday for the US abolition of slavery, June 19th. And, just to prove how oblivious he is, Trump has chosen that day to start his Klan rallies.
• Trump is once again trying to violate the first amendment, this time by demanding journalists retract and apologize for reporting the fact that Biden is ahead in the polls by a substantial margin.
• Police racism has become so bad that even NASCAR is now banning the Confederate flag!
• Trump believes that a 75-year-old man is secretly an antifa agent. Seems legit.
• Republican Steve Huffman said that "colored" people have been so hard hit by COVID-19 because don't wash their hands as well as white people.
• Why is it so hard to get unemployment in Republican states? Because Republicans have purposely made it hard to get unemployment.

I've added a page for the Alice Cooper album, Hey Stoopid and the video game developer Tose.

• COVID-19 is nearing a half-million official deaths globally (although the real number is a lot higher). But who could have predicted there would be a sharp spike in COVID-19 cases after several states blindly reopened without taking any precautions? Oh, right, every medical professional in the world.
• Police continue to prove why they need to be defunded. Their legacy is a never-ending series of assaults on black people. This has been going on for centuries, but it's just now that they're being filmed doing it.
• Trump says he made the economy better, but he's lying. Rich people are getting richer under Trump, but the nation has become even more massively in debt. Let's hope he stays in his bunker.
• Because North Carolina is still practicing social distancing, Republicans are moving their convention to Florida where they have been promised they can pack in as many people as possible. This is wonderful! A whole bunch of old racist white people sharing air during a pandemic? Yes please!
• Because Republicans refused to take precautions for voting during a pandemic, because Republicans don't want certain people to vote, Georgia's recent election was a massive train wreck.
• Police officer Christopher Smelser actually told a man he was going to "choke him out!" just before he choked the man to death.
• Tennessee Republicans are trying to make a law that would force public schools to interrupt every child's daily learning process with a daily hour of church. Because, to them, it's not enough to go to church all day Sunday, all day Saturday, and every evening, you also have to go to go to church during the afternoon every weekday as well!

I've added a page for the Rilo Kiley song, 85.

• The White House has inadvertently admitted that the violent attack on peaceful protesters, and confirmed it was ultimately caused by Trump. Considering how little he cares about people, it's not hard to believe.
• It's not a good sign when militarized police are causing more damage to private property than rioters, or when, despite claiming they would try to deescalation tactics, police are still killing about 1,000 people every year, and a disproportionate number are black.
• Remember when Trump said the Moon was part of Mars? This is the same guy who wants you to cure COVID-19 by injecting bleach.

I've made a page for the King's Quest trivia game, King's Questions and created a higher resolution version of a hilarious dialect map for the word "hamburgers" which you'll only get if you're a fan of The Simpsons.

• Police brutality keeps getting worse as anonymous jack-booted thugs are being hired to violently attack US citizens and journalists for exercising their first amendment rights. Cops all across the country are slashing tires, trying to deport people who look Latino, and are just straight up killing unarmed civilians. And, as expected, many Republicans are claiming that George Floyd was either a crisis actor or his death was staged to make Trump look bad. In the middle of all of this, just to cement the hatred of black people, Jeronimo Yanez, the cop who murdered Philando Castile in front of his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter was found not guilty on all counts. During this time it's important for people to openly recount their tales of police brutality, as Amber Ruffin does. My friend Cody was shot in the hand by a semi-lethal weapon and needed to have a cast put on. You can help him here.
• In countries where they took COVID-19 seriously, like New Zealand, they've effectively eradicated the disease. Meanwhile, because Trump refused to wear a mask when he toured the Maine factory that makes COVID-19 tests, he potentially contaminated their entire day's work, and all the tests had to be thrown in the trash and churches continue to incubate the disease. And, while COVID-19 is, in some ways, less dangerous than we thought, in far more important ways, it's much more deadly than we thought. This is no truer than in Brazil where President Bolsonaro, who took a very similar approach to ignoring COVID-19, has seen deaths skyrocket so badly he's destroying all information about the massive number of people who have died.
• It's nice that some Republicans are finally beginning to denounce Trump, but after over three years of corruption and abuse, it's too little too late. They're just doing this because they see their party being sucked down into hell. Mitt Romney is part of a church that refused to allow black people to hold authority for decades, and suddenly he's all BLM? I don't think do. Thankfully, Democrats are creating legislation to actually change things. Minnesota is even suing the Minneapolis Police Department and taking steps toward replacing them with non-violent social workers.

Extreme protests may not be popular, but they seem to work.

Last night, I beat the game Mystery House.

• Trump is finally building a border wall around himself to keep him away from decent people. Hopefully, we can keep him in lock down until he can be voted out of office.
• Police keep responding to protests of police brutality with a lot more police brutality. And now cops are pissed off that they have to wear body cameras before breaking into a person's home and murdering them. They really want to go back to the good old days when they could terrorize black people in secret.
• A bunch of armed white terrorists stood around the streets of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho after falling for an online hoax that a bunch of antifa protesters were going to swarm their small town.

I wrote an article about a common religious apologist argument claiming DNA proves god.

• All over the country, cops who heard Trump repeatedly call the press the "enemy of the people" are now purposely shooting journalists causing the USA to be added to the list of the most dangerous nations for journalists. Meanwhile, Trump is hoping to call in the US military to make things even more deadly. Police in North Carolina are even destroying medical stations placed to help protesters who have been injured or maimed by violent cops. Thankfully, here in Michigan, protests are mostly non-violent, and Governor Whitmer is demanding reform to end police brutality.
• Former Defense Secretary James Mattis and current Defense Secretary Mark Esper both denounce Trump's request to sick the US military on black protesters, but Republican William Barr, after personally ordering a police attack on peaceful protesters so Trump could have a photo-op, is eager to send federal firepower to wipe out the non-violent D.C. protesters.
• Another trial of hydroxychloroquine's affect on COVID-19 has concluded showing it does not prevent or treat the disease. This means, Trump lying about taking it, and urging others to take it, most likely caused severe pain and suffering, and potentially death to anyone stupid enough to believe to him.
• Republicans continue to make life hell for same-sex couples.
• Trump described people using out of state addresses and similar mistakes on their voter applications as voter fraud, so, by his own definition, Trump committed voted fraud.
• It's important to note that Wendy's the fast food corporation did not donate to Trump, but one of their major franchise owners did. However, Wendy's does donate to political groups, and the bulk of that money does go to Republican candidates.

A young Christian woman wrote a profanity-laden pro-Trump post about why she's doesn't care about police murdering people who break a law. The Christian college she was planning on attending in the fall got wind of it, and said they would no longer accept her as they don't want a racist to create problems for their students! But not all Christian schools care as much about their students, like Cedarville University in Ohio which hired a sexual predator who got caught filming people in their showers, no charges were pressed, and told another student she was for going to the emergency room after contemplating suicide.

Churches are still breeding grounds for COVID-19.

• Chris Hayes explains how, with a global pandemic mixed with a racial uprising, you would be hard-pressed to find someone less-competent than Trump to deal with these problems. Trump's ignorance and narcissism prevent him from being a decent person, let alone a leader.
• Republicans sent threatening letters to journalists telling them to stop reporting that the tear gas Washington D.C. police used to disperse peaceful protesters was tear gas. So, the CDC chimed in and said, yes, it was tear gas.
• Republicans have pretty much abandoned any attempt nationwide anti-racism measures for police, and are telling black US military officials to remain silent and not comment on George Floyd's murder.
• Why do American police departments have so much military-grade equipment? Because they get the cast-offs of our over-funded military.

I took part in adding commentary to the game, Nights Into Dreams for the Community Joystick. This is the first episode; more to come.

• Trump ordered riot police to attack peaceful protesters with tear gas, mace, and batons so he could have someone take his picture holding a book he's never read. While at the church, he didn't even pray. Beating up peaceful protesters is, unfortunately, typical behavior for the police. Now, he wants to deploy the US military to murder American citizens for exercising their Constitutional right to protest.
• Republican Matt Gaetz, following in Trump's violent footsteps, was tagged by Twitter for inciting violence with a post where he asks if US law enforcement can murder anti-fascists. Someone needs to explain to Republicans that the only people who aren't anti-fascist are the actual fascists.
• In the USA the Supreme Court ruled, twice, that flag burning is a protected form of free speech. In fact, the very idea the a government criminalizing a citizens right to burn their own property should disgust anyone who desires a free state. So, naturally, Trump wants it banned.
• Republicans keep trying to prevent voting, but, in order to keep our democracy, we need to have voting by mail instituted before the next election.

Over the weekend I beat Robin Hood's Games of Skill and Chance and Roger Wilco's Spaced Out Game Pack both on expert difficulty.

• Trump is cowering in a bunker after pissing off protesters outside the White House who were demanding justice for George Floyd who was murdered by cops. As expected, Trump sided with the murdering cop and mocked them and said he would shoot them and sick vicious dogs on them which, shockingly, didn't quell the unrest. Trump is also trying to get anti-fascism labeled as a terrorist organization. Similar protests are going on all over the nation, and even in other countries as decent people demand racist police stop murdering unarmed black men. Unfortunately, white men have been spotted inciting riots, and police are being as barbaric as ever, shooting into crowds with potentially deadly tactics including rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bang grenades, and even the very same knee-crushing maneuver that ignited this mess. And, they appear to be focusing on reporters especially.
• Oh yes, and we're still in the middle of a pandemic! Republicans are still trying to force people back to work because they'd rather watch Americans die than go another day without a haircut. And, since they can't seem to give money to the people who need it or even test sick people even though dozens of other countries have got it right, the virus will continue to wreck havoc. Most Americans are pragmatic and still want the threat of the virus greatly reduced before they're willing to return to work, and my state, Michigan, has an intelligent and brave woman leading us, so we are remaining safe much longer than the rest of the nation. My wife was seeing progress in her hospital after they shut down one of the COVID-19 units, but, after party-goers broke quarantine for Memorial Day, a rash of new cases forced them to reopen it. Don't kid yourselves, the USA is still seeing over 1,000 people die from the disease every day!
• After the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, who frequently works directly with the very same Minnesota police officers who killed George Floyd said there was no evidence the cop crushing his neck for eight minutes straight caused him to die, the family asked for an independent autopsy who described his cause of death as, "asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain," so, yeah, the cop killed him.
• Although Trump refuses to take any responsibility in his failure to stop COVID-19, he's more than willing to steal the credit for the private space program that he had nothing to do with.

I beat both of the games in Laura Bow's Parlor Games and King Graham's Board Game Challenge on expert difficulty.

• Because Twitter included a link to fact check one of Trump's obvious lies, Trump signed an executive order to allow the US government to decide which political statements can be posted online. I'm surprised it took this long for Trump to do that considering how many times he's been caught dressing in a mare costume so horse studs would have sex with him. Hypocrite billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, whose social media platform censors its users constantly, went on the record saying that politicians who post very clear lies, no matter how dangerous and inflammatory those lies may be, should never be censored or even fact-checked.
• As part of his Twitter tantrums, Trump suggested murdering all Democrats and encouraged police to shoot protesters, which also caused Twitter to flag his post as inciting violence, since they, well, incite violence.
• Republican Russ Diamond tested positive for COVID-19, but continued to go to work, didn't tell his Democrat colleagues, and still refused to wear a mask! I can only assume he was purposely trying to infect Democrats.
• Republican Kevin Hassett described people returning to work as "human capital stock" probably because he sees American workers as sheep being led to the slaughter.
• Protesters have burned down the police department in Minneapolis, Minnesota as retaliation for police murdering yet another unarmed black man. The police apparently haven't learned a thing, because they also arrested a black reporter and his crew while reporting live. Additional protests are erupting in other cities around the country.
• I missed this headline last month, but it's so horrifying it needs to be linked to. Republican Kelli Ward suggested that everyone protesting lock down orders should pretend to be nurses to make it look like health care professionals aren't afraid of COVID-19.

Roman Catholic diocese of St. Cloud in Minnesota just couldn't stop protecting child rapists from raping over 70 children, so they've been fined $22,500,000, which will bankrupt them. It's nice to see them finally punished, but it will never undo all the damage they caused to so many people.

• Over 100,000 dead, the Trump's celebrate the DOW. 40,000,000 unemployed, the Trumps try to shut down all social media for suggesting that their lies might not be true.
• I've seen plenty of Republican attack ads talking about how their opponents love China. Of course, Trump is the one who couldn't stop praising them. Of course, praise is one thing, what Republican Mike Pompeo did is severely damaging. He said the USA will no longer view Hong Kong as an autonomous entity, which means the people living there will now be considered part of China!
• Republican Betsy DeVos is stealing the money that was supposed to go to protect public schools from COVID-19, and giving it to corporations.

• As the death toll from COVID-19 surpasses 100,000 in the USA, Trump took to Twitter and posted a stream of lies, to which Twitter finally responded by flagging one of Trump's lies suggesting that it might not be true, and then apologized to the grieving widow whose dead husband Trump was lying about. Congratulations Twitter, you've finally done the bare minimum to ensure truth on your platform! Trump responded by calling the suggestion of a fact-check censorship, and said, without any understanding of the irony, that he would fight censorship by shutting down all social media!
• Trump continues to mock those people who are trying to save lives.
• Republicans failed to get COVID-19 testing in the USA in a timely manner, and, because we have to ration our tests, we're not able to test the right people. Rather than test those with clear symptoms of the virus, we should be testing people with mild symptoms or no symptoms at all to get ahead of the virus. Instead, we're constantly playing catchup. Let's hope Americans learn something from the utter failure of the Republican party.
• Republican Ronna Romney McDaniel is suing the state of California for allowing absentee voting even though she frequently votes absentee herself.
• Evangelicals no longer worship Jesus they now worship the Republican party, specifically Trump.

The failure of the Michigan dams destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced 10,000 people because the private owner repeatedly refused to meet safety regulations. Could this happen where you live? Probably. According to FEMA, over half the dams in the USA are privately owned! There is no way the owner of the dam will be able to pay back all the damage he caused, and many of the homeowners insurance claims will go unfulfilled because flood damage is rarely covered in Michigan and special flood insurance is extremely expensive. This means all this damage is ultimately going to be paid by the people personally. Infrastructure that can cause catastrophic damage should not be in the hands of private owners.

The four cops who were involved in crushing the neck of George Floyd until he died have been fired. This is a step in the right direction, but they still need to be investigated by an impartial third party.

• Trump refuses to enforce social distancing rules even if the second wave is worse than the first.
• Even though Trump and Fox pundits have been seen wearing masks, they still can't help themselves from mocking everyone who tries to protect themselves and other people from contracting a fatal virus.
• Republican and Evangelical Christian Kayleigh McEnany has a history of lying and racism.
• Trump once again makes wild accusations that a reporter is a murder, but Twitter refuses to delete the post.
• In order to show just how prolife he is, Republican Couy Griffin says, "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat."

Norma McCorvey, AKA Jane Roe from "Roe v. Wade" explained that her anti-abortion change of mind was not brought about through logic or religious conversion, but because Christians paid her a lot of money to publicly claim she was anti-abortion. This was quite a blow to anti-abortion Christians who used her in a lot of their arguments, but not much of a change to people who favor legal abortions, as their arguments don't rest on the claims of a single woman, but logic and freedom. However, as anyone familiar with the anti-abortion mindset would expect, those Christians who idolized McCorvey refuse to accept her statement. They just can't accept the idea that women can make up their own minds or tell the truth.

Churches aren't just breeding grounds for sexual predators and self-hating homosexuals anymore, now they're branching out into dying from preventable diseases.

Police killed another unarmed black man by crushing his neck. Onlookers filmed the cop and begged the officer to let the man breathe. The suspected crime: forgery. The officer who killed the man has been given a paid vacation.

When a black man told a white woman she had to leash her hyperactive dog per the rules of Central Park, after the woman repeatedly refused, the man showed the dog some treats, causing it to run toward him.

Former co-workers of hers have come out and said she has a history of making negative comments about black men.

I've added a list of popular video games I don't like because I want to be flamed.

• Because so many states, particularly those led by Republicans, are taking a foolhardy approach to opening too soon and too quickly, the US will most likely see a second wave of COVID-19 that may very well be even more deadly than the first. Trump, never one to learn from his mistakes, said that, regardless of the fatalities, the country will not shut down. Trump doesn't have the authority to prevent states from shutting down, but the fact that he makes such a stupid claim proves how incapable of learning he really is.
• Trump shows his racist side once again by praising the "good bloodline" of anti-Semite Henry Ford. Speaking of racists, the Public Health Department in the majority white Franklin County, Ohio issued mask guidelines saying that people of color should avoid masks which might frighten white people, specifically those that might make it look like you're in a gang, like bandannas or anything red or blue!
• Republicans are still trying to prevent people from voting.

Feeling: Happy

• Trump was impeached because he demanded a quid pro quo from Ukraine. Why was it so important to attempt to punish a him for blackmailing a nation until they did him a favor? Because he's now doing the same thing to America. Several states are being held hostage for instituting mail-in ballot programs to allow people to vote without exposing themselves to COVID-19, but Trump is only threatening to cut funding to the ones with Democratic governors. What can you expect from someone who believes that voting isn't a right, but an honor. Michigan is one of the states Trump is blackmailing, and Michigan is totally over his bullshit, telling him, if he wants to visit, he'll have to wear a mask!
• As COVID-19 cases surpasses 5,000,000 global cases growing especially fast in nations with Conservative leaders like Brazil, several Republican states are being investigated for reporting incorrect death rates to the public, either accidentally, or purposely to mislead the public into opening their states too soon. This is causing businesses and churches that opened to spread COVID-19 even further requiring them to close all over again. Even people in the CDC are admitting that the White House has muzzled them and they are not allowed to work to save our lives.
• Although he's probably lying, Trump claims he's taking hydroxychloroquine, to which even those in his fan club are saying it's a terrible move. Hopefully, he will poison himself.
• Because Republicans failed to properly handle COVID-19, the number of unemployed Americans is the highest it has been since the Great Depression, so naturally, Republicans are cutting unemployment benefits.
• Big shock, the white American terrorists who are protesting at capitols are getting COVID-19. Thankfully, nurses are taking to the streets to out-protest the protesters.
• By being allowed to stack the Supreme Court with Republicans, Trump has successfully evaded investigation even further as Congress is not be allowed to see the FBI material which documents his crimes.
• Every time Trump does something criminally abhorrent, like firing anyone who investigates his criminal empire, he always throws out another distraction.
• It seems like everything that FOX says bad about other people applies perfectly to Trump.
• Madeleine Albright talks about to be a good leader during the pandemic, and pretty much everything she suggests is the opposite of what Republicans do.
• Allana Harkin answers questions about being an angry mom and Jaboukie Young-White finds out how America's smallest minority stays safe during during the pandemic.

I finished reading a great book about dictionaries, Word By Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries and made a page for the author. I also beat the puzzle game, Blue.

• Michigan, the state I live in, is working to allow vote-by-mail for all registered voters in the November election to allow people to vote safely. This is because we have a competent and proactive governor. Republicans don't like this voting initiative because they've spent the past couple decades trying to prevent voting by mail because they believe it will create voter frauds and gives more voting access to poor people, who they think tend to vote Democrat. However, published research shows that voting by mail doesn't increase voter fraud, and doesn't favor one party over the other, it just allows more people to vote. So, in an attempt to suppress voting even further, Trump is holding Michigan's COVID-19 relief money hostage until Michigan meets his demands.
• Obama has chimed in on the failure of Republicans to handle the COVID-19 pandemic, and they are piiiiiiised!
• In the letter Trump sent to the WHO where he threatened to pull the USA out of the organization amid the worst pandemic the nation has seen in a century, he made a lot of claims. They were all false.
• Most of the tests on hydroxychloroquine show that it is not effective at preventing, treating, or curing COVID-19, and it has a lot of dangerous side-effects. Because of this, no qualified medical professionals are suggesting it's use. Trump, however, thinks it's a panacea, so he's now referring to doctors and scientists as "enemies." Which, I guess is true, highly educated and intelligent people are the natural enemies of Republicans.
• Trump says he fired his inspector general because he was told to, that he doesn't even know who the man is or what he did, and he thinks that makes him look good.
• Like with nearly everyone else Trump has hand-picked to work in the White House, Republican John Ratcliffe has absolutely no experience in his new role as Director of National Intelligence, and, just like every previous pick, the Republicans in the Senate approved the incompetent white man without even attempting to ask him any questions about his qualifications.
• Governors who issue stay-at-home orders to keep people safe during a pandemic are not dictators. Real dictators look and act like Trump.
• Why did Fisher Sand and Gravel win a $1,280,000,000 contract to build a useless wall in the desert? Because the owner gave a lot of money to Donald Trump.
• The white American Conservative hate-group the "Proud Boys" destroyed a memorial honoring those who died from COVID-19 and then terrorized the person who built it.
• Churches are breeding grounds for COVID-19, and preachers who claim to be able to cure the virus keep dying from it, but not before spreading it to many more.

Norma McCorvey--famous for being the Roe in Roe v. Wade which decriminalized abortion in the USA, and later said she regretted her decision and became an Evangelical Christian--admitted that she never regretted her decision at all, but was paid by Christian preachers almost a half-million dollars to lie for them, and one of the pastors admits to the scheme.

Last night I unlocked the final upgrade in Progressbar95.

• It's the middle of a global pandemic, and Trump is threatening to cut all funding to the World Health Organization and permanently withdraw the US unless they let him decide how it's run.
• Trump claims he has been taking hydroxychloroquine, a drug that has not been demonstrated to cure, treat, or prevent COVID-19. Of course, this is Trump we're talking about, so this is most likely a lie, but, since hydroxychloroquine has a lot of dangerous side effects, it's another lie that is going to get people killed. Those side effects include confusion, mood swings, erratic behavior, pale skin, loss of balance or coordination, and muscle weakness. Hmm, maybe he is taking hydroxychloroquine after all?
• Republicans can't stop talking about a horrible thing Obama did, but they also can't seem to identify what it is. It could be any number of these terrible things.
• Rebekah Jones created and maintained Florida's COVID-19 dashboard an online site which tracked the spread of the virus in the state. After she refused to falsify data, she was fired and the site was taken offline.
• When asked to rank their state's governor's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, 49 out of 50 states gave their governor an approval rating higher than 50%, but Trump got the worst rating of them all at only 45%! The only state that thought their governor was as bad as Trump was Georgia who seems to really hate Republican Brian Kemp. In fact, for the bottom ten worst rankings, 8 of them are Republican.
• I don't care much about sports, but, for those who do, if they want them back, they should really demand Republicans do a better job of responding to COVID-19.
• Republicans claim they're at war against COVID-19, but they're also asking people to just lay down and die.

Churches continue to cause major COVID-19 hot zones killing people because they believe their god will keep them safe from the virus.

Over the weekend, I beat a Genesis adventure game where the hero's name is, I kid you not, Corona: Crusader of Centy.

• Republicans continue their anti-science agenda against COVID-19, trying to make everyone forget all the people who have died in the hopes it will make them look better, but it just makes them look even more evil than they already are. Maybe they can make everyone forget how badly they bungled everything if they blame it on Obama.
• Whistleblowers are usually the only way to stop systemic corruption, so, naturally, Trump thinks they're horrible. This is why Trump fired Steve Linick, because his job was to investigate wasteful spending and corruption, which is the very definition of the current Republican party.
• The US Treasury and Federal Reserve were authorized $500,000,000,000 to help with COVID-19 relief, but Republicans Steven Mnuchin and Jerome Powell who head the departments are not using the money to help people.
• Parroting his father's incompetence, Eric Trump claims COVID-19 is a Democratic hoax that will magically disappear on its own shortly after the 2020 election.
• Republican Richard Burr sold off $1,600,000 dollars right after learning about the incoming COVID-19 pandemic, as did at least one of his family members. The FBI is investigating them, but these are rich white men, so don't hold your breath on actual punishment.
• Those states that are relaxing their stay-at-home orders are seeing massive increases in deaths. Big shock.
• Another case of voter fraud, and, like nearly all of those before it, the fraudster is Republican.

Why is COVID-19 wrecking so much havoc in the USA? Because most Americans believe their god is causing COVID-19 to teach bad Americans a lesson, while at the same time protecting them from it. Many Christians are already refusing to get a vaccines doesn't doesn't even exist yet because they think it will be made from abortions or be the mark of the beast.

Instead, we're a seriously messed up nation that would rather focus on a woman's scarf than an extremely deadly disease.
• Want to know how stupid white American Evangelical Christians are? More than professional journalists, more that public health officials, the thing they trust more than anything else to give them accurate information about COVID-19 is, Donald Trump. But, for as stupid as they are, Republican politicians are even stupider.
• US taxpayers have given Trump almost $1,000,000 so his staff could stay in his hotels. Trump is the most corrupt president the USA has ever had.

• We're still seeing 2,000 people a day die from COVID-19, but, like George W. Bush's asinine "Mission Accomplished" banner, Trump is celebrating victory. Just another Republican taking a victory lap a quarter of the way through the race.
• Trump fired Dr. Rick Bright, a specialist in immunology, because he courageously reported how Republicans kept ignoring all of the evidence of the increasing COVID-19 pandemic. Now, he's warning the world that we're going to have a very deadly winter because of their stupidity. Republicans have cut funding to Dr. Peter Daszak, yet another infectious disease researcher who had been trying to prepare America for the pandemic for years.
• Republicans are using the pandemic to push a lot of their pet projects, like shutting down all help to refugees.
• The Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court has once again limited the power of their executive branch to spite Democrats. They've ruled that Governors can't issue stay at home orders even amid a deadly pan.
• When you hire only unqualified people, you should expect the White House to fail. And it does, all the time.
• Trump is an unending series of blatant lies.
• Republican Richard Burr is stepping down from the Intelligence Committee after being credibly accused of $1,700,000 worth of insider trading, which is a crime unless you're in Congress. He's not being sent to prison, or even removed from the Senate, he's leaving a committee.

• Trump was watching his criminal racket collapse all around him as his most vocal supporters were getting caught and convicted. Then, he remember he controls the Justice Department, and now, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort are being released. When Republicans are in charge, justice is never served. One judge is at least trying to prevent this by telling Republican's you can't just ignore criminals who admit they're guilty.
• By downplaying the virus and claiming it will just disappear on its own, and that testing doesn't help, Trump has tricked many Americans into thinking they're a lot safer than they are, and this means they turn a blind eye to him forcing people back to work, like at meat packing plants. By doing this, Trump knowingly killed many workers. Now that meat packing facilities have more sick workers than healthy workers, their unions are finally starting to oppose Trump. Unfortunately, most states are reopening, which is going to cause a lot more deaths, but, hopefully, now that even the White House is seeing infections, and their ignorant leader is at risk, they'll start wising up.
• Michigan terrorists used their assault rifles to blockade police from a barbershop in Owosso, Michigan. The owner has been defying police orders by refusing to close and potentially spreading COVID-19 to all his customers. The police never did show up. The terrorists were decked out in Trump paraphernalia and claimed they were following his orders to help "liberate" the state. These Republicans are proving that all lives don't matter, that blue lives especially don't matter, and that they are certainly not prolife. When rural people leave their homes and drive into cities--where the number of COVID-19 cases are much higher--to protest, they often take COVID-19 back home with them.

All the video game video links have been converted to an embedded link in the Wiki. A few other pages probably have them, but I'll update them as I find them.

• Over 80,000 dead Americans, and we'll certainly hit 100,000 before the end of the month because Republicans have failed every step of the way, even to the point of preventing the public from having access to CDC reports. Despite this, Republicans are still pushing for people to stop social distancing. Meanwhile, Trump is canceling press conferences early because he's afraid of female reporters who don't take his bullshit.
• Because the White House refused to practice social distancing, a wave of COVID-19 is sweeping through it. Now that it can affect him directly, Trump is forcing everyone around him to wear a mask, but still won't wear one himself. This is exactly the kind of behavior we expect from dictators. One rule for ruled, a different one for the ruler. I hope he gets sick.

• Republican mismanagement has led to the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression, and Trump lies that all jobs will come back in 2021 which can't happen because many businesses have had to shutdown because Republicans failed to provide for them.

• Eager to reopen Arizona, Republican Governor Doug Ducey told his scientists to stop wasting their time on COVID-19, and is even preventing them from having access to the information necessary to track the spread of the virus.
• Conservative Wisconsin judge, Patience D. Roggensack, who received most of her campaign funding from the Republican party, argued against the sensible measures to keep the state in quarantine because the recent massive increase in Wisconsin COVID-19 cases was from meat packers, not "regular folks." To give her the benefit of the doubt, this remark was in the middle of a debate, and she probably said it without thinking how classist it would sound. Ignoring the bigotry, it's still an ignorant belief. Roggensack needs to educate herself on just how virulent COVID-19 is. The virus doesn't care if you're hardworking or born rich, it can and will infect everyone if we don't practice social distancing.
• For Republicans, protesting is an American right that should be exercised frequently, as long as you're white.
• Unqualified, young, easily-manipulated, Conservative judges. That is what Republicans want for the Judicial Branch.
• Republicans would rather give money to other Republicans than those best qualified to do the job. This has been seen many times in the past few years. For example, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner prefers to buy medical equipment from his father's friends rather than experienced vendors. Another example is the US Postal Department Postmaster General being replaced by Republian Louis DeJoy, whose only qualifications are that he gave Trump a lot of money.
• Republicans are suing Gretchen Whitmer to eliminate any Governor's ability to keep Michiganders safe during a crisis.
• Trump really believes he's great.

Convicted child rapist cardinal George Pell was acquitted and released from prison without having to be properly punished for his multiple cases of child rape.

Tim Bray quit his job as a VP at Amazon because the company keeps firing anyone who criticizes Amazon's horrible response to COVID-19 which is causing employees to get sick and die.

Christian hate-preacher Franklin Graham got permission to open an outdoor COVID-19 clinic in Central Park on the condition that it not discriminate against patients. Anyone who knows even a little about Christian preachers can predict what happened next. Graham immediately required all volunteers to sign a statement saying the LGBT deserve to burn in hell and started preaching. It took too long, but New York finally had enough of his lies.

How to continue to be productive while isolated.

I finished reading An Appetite For Wonder: The Making of a Scientist the first volume of Richard Dawkins's biography.

• Republicans are now straight up censoring their experts from talking about COVID-19 with the public, while the Democrats would love to let them do their work without having to appease an imbecile like Trump.
• Republican states are reopening even as the death toll from COVID-19 hits a new record.
• 67,000 Americans have died so Trump takes to Twitter to explain why he's glad to see the dictator of North Korea alive and well.
• Trump is a compulsive liar and nothing he says can be trusted.
• Republicans are ordering 100,000 body bags, so, that should give you an idea of what they have in store now that they won't renew social distancing guidelines.
• Trump's estimate for the number of COVID-19 deaths began with "maybe some" to 50,000-60,000, then to 60,000-70,000. Well, we've already surpassed 67,000 and we're still seeing over 2,500 deaths a day. So, Trump jumped to 80,000-90,000, and, now he's increased it again to 100,000. Even if the rate stops accelerating and flattens off, we'll still hit 100,000 fatalities in just two weeks. What will his next number be?
• Remember those watch dogs who reported how Republicans were completely unprepared for COVID-19? Trump's firing them.
• Republican Betsy DeVos is stealing wages from students having trouble paying back their loans during the pandemic. Thankfully, she's being sued for being such a horrible person.
• Ken Turnage II was kicked off a California planning commission after saying that COVID-19 would "fix a significant burden to society," by killing off the sick, old, injured, and poor. Meanwhile, the real leader of California is explaining how he's working hard to keep Californians safe.
• Trump loves the pathetic white American terrorists who are waving around assault rifles and calling it a protest.
• Republicans don't want to allow voting by mail, not because they think it is unsafe, but because they think it will allow more Americans to vote.

The Catholic archdiocese of New Orleans has protected so many child rapists, they've been sued into bankruptcy.

Another city has wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars after losing a court case because they refused to stop pushing their religion on everyone else.

I've added a page for the Appalachian Trail and the various forms of media I've experience regarding it.

• Trump refuses to extend the social distancing guidelines at the federal level, despite the damage the virus is having on all areas of life, especially the food industry. There have been over 1,000,000 cases and over 63,000 deaths from COVID-19, more than the entirety of the Vietnam War, and Trump's terrible decisions will guarantee tens of thousands more will die as well because of his desperate need to have people like him.
• Pathetic white American terrorists brought assault rifles into the Michigan State Capitol to try and scare Governor Whitmer into ending the state of emergency. Republicans tried suing her for keeping the state on lockdown and slowing the spread of the virus. But Whitmer courageously stood her ground and followed the advice of experts (not the rabble), and extended it until the end of May!
• Trump blames Obama for having broken COVID-19 tests, three years after Obama left office.
• Every military and civilian intelligence agency said there is no evidence that China created COVID-19 in a lab, but Trump says they did.
• Because Republicans have failed to to provide states with COVID-19 tests, states are having to buy them from other nations, like South Korea. And, because the White House has been stealing equipment and tests from states because they're so unprepared, states are now hiding their tests and equipment from the White House!
• Republican Ted Cruz, who has a history of anti-Semetic remarks, tried to score points with the Jews by asking the Department of Justice to monitor New York Mayor Bill De Blasio for anti-Semitic behavior, and accused the Mayor of "permanently shutting down a synagogue." Of course, De Blasio did no such thing. He's temporarily barring all large gatherings, even those at churches and synagogues, because of the pandemic.
• Why does Trump force his subordinates to stay at his hotels? Because he makes over $33,000 each time they do.
• Mike Pence is threatening to sue the reporter who did their job and factually reported that the Mayo Clinic told Pence before he arrived that he would be expected to wear a mask. You know, the thing his wife lied about?
• Republicans have been trying to destroy the US Postal Service for decades now because they want all government services to be converted to corporations, but the USPS isn't just essential to the American way of life, it's also one of the few organizations that is self-funded and stays fair to its workers and clients. Trump wants the USPS dead, but he has no problem giving our tax dollars to the oil industry.

An enjoyable vlog about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

What was the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence if the thing being argued is supposed to directly intervene.
