Seth takes a closer look at one of the signature scams of the Trump era falling apart and revealing the GOP’s brand of pro-worker populism is a giant fraud.
Overall, solid speech, even kind of inspiring, with enough “Suck it, MAGA freaks” to keep it lively.

Speaking of Bobo, a reporter from my local newspaper, the Vail Daily, reached out to me (we follow each other on Twitter) for an interview about her. He’s doing a story about the new congressional district Colorado is getting and he wanted to interview people who don’t support her. We talked on the phone yesterday for 40 minutes, good conversation. He texted me today asking if I wanted my picture taken for the story, I said sure. Probably on Friday I’m meeting with the paper’s photographer.
When the story hits I’ll make a page of it here at LGF.
re: #5 jaunte
I wonder if Republican donors realize that “autocrat” in Biden’s speech applies just as much to them as it does to Putin.
re: #5 jaunte
Oh, no, they’re mad at the speech. They’re mad that they got called out and that Biden’s spending programs are enormously popular, because it gives the lie to their claims that government spending is all bad and that we can only ever reduce the budget and cut taxes. The government is good for many things, things that are common interests to all Americans - education, health care, roadways and railways and airways and waterways, Internet, etc. Right now, all of those are in a despicable state, so we need to spend some money to make it so.

It’s harder to find a decent scented body wash that doesn’t break out my skin. I also found that there are unscented body washes for kids (Suave has one and there’s another brand I can’t remember at the moment) that work pretty well and isn’t expensive compared to women’s stuff. I’d just like to find something that as a nice scent that’s not going to kill my skin. Dr Bronners works too, but it’s drying after awhile.

Welp, after a 200-mile run, the Mexican/Del Rio Supercell finally fell apart just south of South Austin. Insurance companies will be horrified by the damage totals, as it roared right through the north (expensive) side of San Antonio. At several points along its path, it threw softball-sized hail.
There’s another line working its way toward us, but it is nigh unto the witching hour and I don’t think they will hold together, so, time for the rack.
I will give you this link:
Just select “Current Hazard” if you don’t go directly to the Hazards page. That area between Del Rio and Eagle Pass to the south, on the Rio Grande, has been generating supercells all day. I wouldn’t be surprised if Val Verde County (Del Rio) doesn’t get 4 months worth of rain today and tomorrow.

Hartford Courant:
The bill also applies to private schools.
Gov. Ned Lamont Wednesday signed legislation that would end Connecticut’s religious exemption for mandatory school vaccinations beginning in the 2022 school year.
“When it comes to the safety of our children, we need to take an abundance of caution,” Lamont said, in a written statement. “This legislation is needed to protect our kids against serious illnesses that have been well-controlled for many decades, such as measles, tuberculosis, and whooping cough, but have reemerged. In recent years, the number of children in our state who have not received routine vaccinations has been steadily increasing, which has been mirrored by significant growth in preventable diseases across the nation.
“I want to make it clear, this law does not take away the choice of parents to make medical decisions for their children. But, if they do choose not to have their children vaccinated, this bill best ensures that other children and their families will not be exposed to these deadly diseases for hours each day in our schools.”
The state Senate gave final legislative approval to the measure late Tuesday after nine hours of debate.
Two Democrats joined all the Republicans in the state senate to vote against the bill.

I think this is going to be a hard slog ahead - keeping up with all the variants.
The real possibility of variants being more deadly or avoiding current immunity strategies looms over us.
The atavism that exists, not just here in the US, to which people cling (that virology is not something to be concerned about) is going to be a real eye opener as the years roll on.

The Health Ministry has identified 41 new cases of the Indian coronavirus variant in Israel, including four in people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The article does not give enough details, though. It could be the SinoVac vaccine that has less effectivity.
Given that vaccines are now topics of propaganda it is going to be very confusing for the public.
The already gullible American know-nothings will jump on anything coming from propagandists.

I recall when the USS Ronald Reagan was sent to Fukushima to provide tsunami aid.
Just imagine the captain presenting his credentials: “We’re from the US government and we’re here to help you!”
And Turkey goes into lockdown, starting today.
Turkey is set to enter a full lockdown until May 17 to curb the spread of the coronavirus that forced the government to introduce stricter measures following a spike in COVID-19 cases.
The lockdown, which will come into force this evening at 7 p.m., will cover the remainder of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, as well as three days of the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
All businesses will be closed with certain exceptions, such as production facilities, food, hygiene and health-related businesses. Supermarkets will also cease operations on Sundays.
Restaurant and cafes will only offer delivery services while intercity travel will require special permission from authorities.
The measures taken by the Turkish government are pretty much identical with the measures taken by the Czech government at the beginning of March. The Turks are vaccinating pretty quickly as well, which is a good sign. Like their Czech counterparts, I’m sure the Turkish government wants to get this reasonably under control before the beginning of tourist high season, which starts on June 1st.

John Harris: “Though rarely described as gifted orator, Biden’s speech was a remarkable performance in part because it didn’t soar and largely didn’t even try to. In plain-spoken language, he depicted a breathtakingly large agenda as plain common sense. Instead of imploring partisans to take sides, he projected bewilderment that any practical-minded person of any persuasion could be opposed.”
re: #44 Teukka
I’ve got colleagues in India and they are suffering something fierce right now.
They’re going through an unbearable and indisputably awful situation, and the Modi government completely screwed the pooch.
It started the same way it did here - with a nationalist know nothing pushing to reopen faster/sooner than practical or logical, and pushing to keep religious gatherings open as they were pre-pandemic.
It was the religious gatherings that was the superspreader event that pushed covid19 far and wide and it went beyond what the health care system can handle. They’re beyond 100% capacity. They lack all the gear necessary to sustain people facing covid19 - PPE, oxygen, ventilators, drugs, vaccines, and it’s a total shit show.
Health care workers are speaking up, but their voices are muted (Modi got social media to silence critics).
The fact is that the death toll in India is far lower than excess mortality would suggest - mostly because the majority of Indians do not go to the hospital to die. They die at home. That’s why watching crematoria and cemeteries is key: the numbers are absolutely horrific.

Some of the general science reporting sites are picking up on the 14 April Science research article about the Brazilian “P.1” variant not only being more transmissible than the original type but also that people who have already been infected with SARS-Cov-2 can be reinfected with the P.1 variant.
I think this is going to be a hard slog ahead - keeping up with all the variants.
The real possibility of variants being more deadly or avoiding current immunity strategies looms over us.
The atavism that exists, not just here in the US, to which people cling (that virology is not something to be concerned about) is going to be a real eye opener as the years roll on.
Vaccine resistance and refusal to vaccinate is going to have dire consequences because it provides the reservoir for the virus to circulate and mutate into strains likely to not be stopped by the current vaccines.

GOP Candidate Sues Over Hotel Bills Incurred During Trip To Jan. 6 Trump Rally-Turned-Riot
When the FBI questioned the Republican congressional candidate Christine Quinn about her attendance at the Jan. 6 Trump rally in Washington, D.C., she was unapologetic.
—————————————-
from the article
“We weren’t burning down businesses or destroying property,” Quinn told TPM.
“We have people, patriots — tax-paying people that are up there and having fun — singing ‘USA,’ ‘God Bless America,’ and we get called insurrectionist?” she added. “Are you freaking kidding me?”
“This was a peaceful gathering!” she wrote on Jan. 12, adding: “Families were there and enjoying this historic day!”
but
“According to her suit, Quinn was informed that Hawks and Prewitt were to be part of the security efforts for the Trump rally.”
why would
- not burning down business or destroying property
- having fun
- singing
- peaceful gathering
require ‘security’?
well then she actually rams home the stupid:
“Why would two Community Patriot guys be a security detail?” she reflected over the phone, months later. “But whatever, I didn’t even give it much thought.”
you just paid out $3,700 without giving it much thought

Reagan’s small-government philosophy resulted in a decades-long squeeze on the federal government, especially domestic spending, and on tax policies that mainly benefited the wealthiest Americans.If Biden ultimately gets his way legislatively, and that is a big question mark, those policies would be replaced with ones that would directly address long-standing economic, racial and gender inequities that have only become more apparent during the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden had to wait nearly 50 years to achieve his dream of becoming president. In office, he is operating as if he has no time to spare. Throughout his first 100 days, and again on Wednesday night, the presentation of his agenda shows he believes there is an urgent need to act and an opportunity to do so, but that he has limited time to get it done.

Trump’s plan for vaccines: Work on them and give me credit.
Trump’s plan for distributing vaccines? Not so much.
Trump’s plan for spreading wealth to his cronies? Emergent Biosolutions, which J&J contracted with to make its vaccine, should never have gotten the contract because of ongoing health and safety concerns at its facilities. Trump got them to make that deal, and J&J is still influenced by the Johnson family (one of whom owns the Jets and was made Ambassador by Trump).

Generally you have to actively seek employment and prove you’re doing it, or unemployment is cut off.
When I left the Navy after my first enlistment (and you could still apply for unemployment before Ronald Reagan cut that off, redefining military service as “job”), I had to turn in a signed card to the unemployment office in Florida every two weeks to prove I was seeking work.

And in some places, you can’t be choosy. In Minnesota, if you are on unemployment, and a place makes you an offer, you have to take it. (If you get multiple offers, you are free to take any one of them.) You have to apply every week for your unemployment benefit, and they ask if you have done any employment-related activities and if you have declined any offers of employment.

But when it comes down to brass tacks, labor is just another commodity and workers are just drones who supply it. And like any business expense, it is to be kept at a minimum and put out the door when it is no longer useful.

Can there be empty engineering positions at the $60-100k range? Absolutely?
There was a shortage of people in these positions for years. The shortage has been more acute thanks to Trump significantly limiting immigrant visas.
As you approach full employment (and engineering was in that ballpark range), you’re going to find it harder to fill jobs and there are other competing trends, like offshoring and corporate reorganizations that affect job numbers.
There’s also the question of where jobs are posted and where people willing to do the jobs are located. Geographical distribution isn’t 1:1. Covid changed that calculus some as working remote became the norm, but some kinds of jobs require in-person operation.

Actually, it is apparently not easy to hire many types of engineers, electronics assemblers, people in the orders dept. etc. in Silicon Valley right now.

Kid’s science project answers an important question (goes to Pop Sugar)
Have you ever watched your cat meander about your home, sitting on everything from your dinner plate to your bed pillow to your bathroom counter, and wondered, “Erm, did my cat’s butt really just make contact with my toothbrush?!”
Well, not only are you not alone, but you’ve also got some answers, thanks to an industrious sixth-grader named Kaeden Griffin. For his homeschool science fair project, Kaeden tackled one of the most perplexing questions stumping pet owners: “Does your cat’s butthole really touch all the surfaces in your home?”
Kaeden, like many others out there, assumed that if his cat sits on a surface, then their “butthole will also touch said surface,” and to test his hypothesis, he and his mom, Kerry, applied nontoxic lipstick (bright red lipstick, in fact!) to the buttholes of their two well-behaved cats. The cats were then given a series of commands — including sit, wait, lie down, and jump up — and were compensated with praise and treats. The lipstick was removed with a baby wipe once they collected the necessary data, which took place in less than 10 minutes.

Yeah. The idea that engineers, of all people, are sitting on their hands because they’re collecting unemployment is risible. Engineers make enough money that if they had a choice between being employed at a competitive market rate and being unemployed, they would take employment without question.

How Low Will the GOP Go to Keep These Black Women Off the Bench? (Daily Beast opinion piece)
Republicans will face a dilemma this week when the Senate Judiciary Committee considers two of President Biden’s priority picks for the federal court, both Black women with impeccable credentials. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is slated to fill Merrick Garland’s former seat on the U.S. District Court of Appeals, often a stepping stone to the Supreme Court. And Candace Jackson-Akiwumi, nominated for the Seventh Circuit, would be only the third federal appellate court judge in history to have spent a majority of their career as a public defender.
Both women fit the model of new judges Biden has talked about to bring more diversity in terms of both race and professional backgrounds to a federal bench grown top-heavy with prosecutors trained in punitive justice and partners from big law firms whose world view doesn’t see past corporate America. And their qualifications cannot be assailed—at least not fairly. Republicans have already twice voted to confirm Judge Jackson, 50, a Harvard Law grad: as vice-chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in 2010, where she oversaw the reduction of sentences for crack cocaine and other drug-related offenses, and then to the U.S. District Court in 2013.

That’s fine, he might not want to wade through all the totally unqualified people who contact him if he just put his job description up on Twitter. He’s likely looking for something pretty specific, but didn’t want to go into it in detail.
He may or may not be a jerk, though I lean toward the former if he is using the fact he’s having trouble hiring someone with a very specific skill set who is in high demand as an example of why Joe’s Diner can’t find a line cook.

I took some Tylenol and that seems to have helped. I feel kind of “blah” but I am still functional at the moment so I’d rate my overall experience not bad. Totally worth a day or two of misery to NOT get Covid.

What is it with all the criming in Alliance, Nebraska? I guess in the next county to the north they really don’t have anything better to do.
Farr Charged in Carjacking, Officer-Involved Shooting Incident (Alliance Times-Herald)
An Alliance teen faces many years in prison following a drunken night involving attempted robberies, child abuse, reckless driving and attempted assault.
Kolton Farr, 18, of Alliance, was taken into custody by the Alliance Police Department on April 10, according to an Affidavit for Custody filed in the case. At approximately midnight, an officer with the Alliance Police Department witnessed a white GMC pickup traveling at a high rate of speed in the 800 block of West Third Street. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver did not comply, which resulted in a pursuit. The officer ended the pursuit shortly thereafter.
According to the affidavit, the same officer and a second officer were investigating a separate incident when the other officer was dispatched to the 600 block of Black Hills Avenue regarding a woman who was held at knifepoint. When the officer arrived, they spoke with the woman, who told them a man, “in blue jeans with an undone zipper, a black coat, a hat, and glasses,” who she described as skinny and young, was driving a white GMC Crewcab.
The woman said the man was holding a knife while speaking to her, and noted that he was trying to use the knife to break into her vehicle. The officer observed scratch marks on the vehicle. The woman told the officer the man tried to shake her hand before leaving the scene in the GMC pickup, heading eastbound.

The officer ran toward the vehicles, which were exiting the parking lot, commanding the driver of the pickup to stop. As the pickup continued chasing the sedan, the officer fired three rounds from his pistol at the driver of the GMC pickup.

We have one particularly obnoxious Mask Karen/Vax Karen here in town, and she somehow still has the bullhorn of paid airtime at night on the local iHeart-owned RWNJ talk station to promote her hate and her anti-mask spreader events.
Facebook finally booted her last week, and now she’s on a 7-day Twitter timeout from her regular account, but she’s right back with a burner account.
It would be a crying shame if other people also reported her new account for impersonation or evading Twitter rules about bans or whatever.

True Republicans did not watch the speech, they just tuned into the Fox News commentary on it.
Pennington County’s (seat: Rapid City, SD) sheriff is using the same argument against legal maryjane that the Lancaster County sheriff did here in trying to overturn the legalisation referendum in South Dakota (more than one subject).
Pennington County Sheriff Kevin Thom’s lawsuit against Amendment A is in part related to his public safety concerns about recreational marijuana, his lawyer argued before the South Dakota Supreme Court on Wednesday.
“Now this case is about the rule of law, but with Sheriff Thom, with the small issue of standing, it is about cannabis and marijuana,” Attorney Bob Morris said in regards to standing, or whether Thom has the ability to sue the state in his role as sheriff. “The public safety and the burdens that are placed on his office as the sheriff surely will be heightened and affected by the legalization of marijuana.”
Amendment A was approved by 54% of South Dakota voters and 59% of Pennington County voters in the November election. It says adults 21 and older may use, transport and sell paraphernalia and possess up to one ounce of marijuana.
Thom and Highway Patrol Superintendent Rick Miller later filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the amendment, saying it violates the one-subject rule and is actually a revision, not amendment, which would require a constitutional convention.
After a circuit judge ruled in February that she agrees with Thom and the Noem administration, South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws appealed to the Supreme Court.

Lawyer: Pennington County sheriff’s lawsuit is partially related to marijuana concerns (Rapid City Journal)
Here, there is a complaint against the Lancaster County (seat: Lincoln) Sheriff demanding disclosure on who funded his case against our referendum for medical maryjane.
Complaint alleges Lancaster County sheriff must disclose who paid for challenge to medical marijuana initiative (Lincoln Journal-Star)
A Lincoln attorney filed a complaint against Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner on Monday for not reporting the benefactor of his successful legal challenge against last year’s medical marijuana petition drive.
John Cartier, of Nebraska Families for Medical Cannabis, asked the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission to review whether or not Wagner violated state law by not disclosing who paid legal fees for the petition challenge.
State law requires elected officials to report any gift more than $100 in value on a Statement of Financial Interests, which is filed annually with the state office responsible for administering election laws.

But of course, there is an obvious difference wrt President Biden’s public speeches, vs. Trump’s: the former are actual expositions of policy and positions: the latter were mostly just egocentric rants and cheapjack hate-mongering (at best - and they were rarely “best”; Melania’s campaign notwithstanding).

Good. This bill would have extended tax credits for sending children to private religious schools.
[Embedded content]
Good that it was blocked: IIRC, in a little-noticed decision last year sometime (?Montana?), the SCOTUS ruled that states couldn’t restrict tax credits or tax breaks from applying to “private religious schools” (no matter how sectarian/restrictive/discriminatory) - on the grounds (of course) that denying them/their donors the credits was an impingement on “freedom of religion”.
At the time, I recall a few commentators noting that, taken to a not-too-far-out point, this ruling could be used to justify/legalize/regularize public support for religious schools (or any other institution), but of course, our current SCOTUS is stacked with the sort of Justices who probably believe that the “separation of Church and State” was a huge mistake….
I’m guessing there’s no real chance to do anything about it before 2022, but damn, we really need to address the size of the House.
California is losing a seat in the House despite having the third largest population growth behind only Texas and Florida. But because we didn’t grow at a fast enough rate (only 6% instead of 10%), we are losing a seat.
Under the Wyoming Rule, we’d be getting 69 seats. And 42 states would be getting more seats - the House would have 573 members, and we’d be looking at 676 electoral votes.

re: #234 gocart mozart
Vance and his wife might have gone to elite Law schools, but they seem to not understand the concept of tradeoffs. If there were universal childcare, more women staying at home would be able to go back to work. If Then the question can be asked about what are the costs and benefits of this program if it were implemented. People can then disagree about whether the costs and benefits are calculated correctly, or about the relative values of various of costs and benefits, but they can’t argue that a large number of women are out of the labor force because child care is either expensive or too hard to find.
If he’s concerned that this disproportionately doesn’t help the poor, he remember that if something is completely out of reach, it won’t even come into the picture for many.

Sylvester is commonly known as Sylvester the Cat, but his name is actually Sylvester James Pussycat, Sr.
So, it seems that Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies did not use “the” in official names. Apparently it depends on which universe the characters exist in as to naming conventions.
