Walking and chewing gum at the same time was the limit for some Presidents, it seems Trump can run several concurrent 3D chess games....
For those not up to speed Durham is a prosecutor investigating the part of the 'Three Letter Agencies' in the failed coup against President Trump commonly called 'Russia Collusion' and the 'Mueller Inquiry'. This could be an October surprise for the Democrats

This goes here as the Left and the MSM is intending to use this pandemic as a way to win the next election I think they effectively already have won. We're moving into the biggest depression since the 1930's. That's a highly reliable sign that the white house is going to change parties.

"The bottom line, however, when you look at today’s list, along with part one, is that the corporate media have been exposed as a dangerous gang of sociopaths. That might sound harsh, but how else can you describe an institution that actively discourages coronavirus sufferers from asking their doctor for hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug approved by the FDA for emergency use to treat the coronavirus; a drug that appears to be helping some and is, at worst, perfectly harmless (as long as you consult with your doctor)?"www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/04/10/nolte-all-the-establishment-medias-dangerous-coronavirus-lies-part-2

My Dad passed away 3 weeks ago at 7:10 a.m. He was 94 1/2 years old. He was very cognizant. He was a forward observer in Korea. His life expectancy doing that was a bit over 10 days. He lived 558 days doing it. He was offered a field commission to Captain if he would stay. He declined the offer. His comment, prior to beginning to slip away. "The world has gone insane. The USA has become a country of people who have NEVER faced risk well. I lived through polio, flu, cancer. I have been shot at, mortar shells reined down around me as they tried to kill me. One landed IN my mortar hole, it didn't go off. I have shrapnel, broken bones healed, cancer beat." He shook his head......in sadness. Folks, 94 1/2 years..............A long time by anyone's standards. During his lifetime, there was Asian flu, Swine flu, measles, mumps, chicken pox, etc etc. A depression, economic recoveries. Folks, 94 1/2 years. An old man, by anyone's standards. Why........WHY............are we so fearful that today, we are in the process of ruining what took 94 1/2 years of his generation to give to us. WHY? ??

You clearly come from terrific stock. I think we are witnessing the ultimate demonstration of the urban/rural, hive vs rugged individual mindset. I see no solution other than separation of the 2 cultures. It won’t be easy or pretty.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad Sig. But do not despair, it is the coastal effete that are getting all the press while the silent majority shake their heads and carry on even though the politicians are hiding under their desks. The restart which may come next week will sort things out - what the President puts forward and the way it is supported will define the world for the next 50 years. It is extremely important that it is done right and that the noise from the empty vessels is disregarded - many of them are playing on the other side and want the country to fail and so they will make a lot of noise. The next 4 weeks are as crucial for the world as D day was - it is not going to be easy.

My grandfather lifted the tractor enough so my cousin could pull him out. My grandfather suffered a double hernia the rest of his life. At the age of 19, he was t-boned by a car doing 90+MPH. He was thrown 278', taken for dead. Thankfully, a patrolman saw bubbles coming up in his blood. He had a broken neck from that one. He was drafted in 51. Survived Korea. During his later years, he was really fussy about getting cold. He NEVER wanted to be cold, because in Korea he was so damn cold for months. So, his house was at 79-80F, I would make sure the car was HOT before I would take him somewhere. He did drive himself until last fall. He was always so concerned about my wife, how she was doing. She is doing well now that we know what ailed her. He really was dismayed. The only consolation is he passed away before it went totally nuts.

Sig sorry to hear that and yes sounds like the sort of person who actually did stuff. what is amazing there many fantastic stories like yours of parents with massive resilience, it's not quite the right word but it's close.
What was it that allowed such people emerged. I think you once commented that you were Icelandic and they are a bunch of resilient people. the gene pool of Scandinavia (Vikings) was sensational and expressed everywhere. You were lucky to have enjoyed him as was your father clearly also lucky at some level.
The risk blindness is the thing I struggle with these days, and that worries because those days your father spent in Korea were each defined by risk calculations followed by courageousness.

Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Sorry for your loss. My dad did a post-war tour in Korea. At the time the North didn't seem to have gotten the message about the armistice.

"They" hate to see independent, productive people successfully fending for themselves, and even prospering, in spite of the worst that they thought they could throw at you. Stay in your homes, receive your "check", leave only to shop at Walmarts (stocked with Chinese produced goods). Pay with your "benefits" and your "relief checks".

People say it's silly (stronger language) to believe in "Turnings", but we have seen them throughout history, and we are due. Call them cycles, or "tides in the affairs of men", or whatever. The next generation of strong men (and women) are being forged even as we speak(?). The question is ... will our republic, which was forged in just such a transition, and survived two others before now, emerge restrengthened from this one? Nothing is written. It must be won. Our ancestors, who survived 1348 (plague) and the descent into the Little Ice Age would probably roll their eyes at our "inconvenience".

A very interesting brief from Trump this evening.
First up he asked Fauci to brief the media on the 'hypothetical' question he was asked "if mitigation/lock down had started earlier for COVID-19 would it have saved lives' Which he answered "of course it would". The New York Times then led with a story "Fauci says that Trump was late putting mitigation in place.'
Fauci said he answered truthfully, but there was no reason to put mitigation in place until it was done. And when he and Birx suggested it to the President, it happened. Also when they advised it should be extended to 30 days - again the President did it" He also got VERY upset when it was implied he was told to give that brief and it was not voluntary.
But then Trump played a set of clips as a video going through the timeline showing official action and date followed by democrats claiming Trump was a xenophobe come down to chinatown and have a new year celebration. etc etc. Making the media and the Democrats look really bad.
That was a slapdown of epic proportions.
In another program one of the presenters said - if Trump had acted when the Democrats are now saying he should he would have sent the senators gathered for his impeachment back to their states - what would democrats have said to that? And the full shut down would have closed the Democrat primary Super Tuesday - they would not have liked that either.
It is getting entertaining
