The problem is the millions of people in the world that are frustrated that no one recognizes their greatness. A 17yo male from my state, a wanna be bad cop, just killed two people in Kenosha, WI and the police just let him walk by even while the protestors were telling the police that he had just murdered two people and injured another. Despite all the obvious stuff, all I can think is where were his parents? Even worse, the Kenosha police were even hanging out with the vigilantes, giving them water, and thanking them for being there before the shooting. It's no small wonder this punk kid felt emboldened to do what he did. The vigilantes were even trying to be deputized 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma style. This is absolute insanity. Oh, and apparently, according to clips I've seen of the RNC convention, C-19 is over and we don't have to worry about it any more. I do think their plan is get everyone infected as quickly as possible, so that it appears to have gone away in October, regardless of how many die in the meantime. On a sort of funny note, they have again had to tell people in Texas (big Trump state) to stop drinking bleach to stop C-19. BTW, the only way bleach protects you from C19 by ingestion is it will kill you before you can contract C19. For those that don't die, it's a medical bill easily avoided.

To me it seems like a very fine line between a wannabe cop killing protesters and a couple waving high powered rifles in the faces of protestors walking past their home. The difference is that a f*cked up kid is facing a lengthy jail term whereas the couple were invited to talk in support of Trump at the RNC.
He may not be the ideal candidate (certainly not in comparison to Sanders) but Biden has to be elected.

I haven't been watching the RNC convention, but the laws being broken with Trump speaking from the White House, using the military and immigrants as props, all in violation of American election laws. Then just the normal bat crap crazy stuff. I just don't understand the mentality of people drawn to this stuff. Nice of Melania to show up in a Russian military uniform. Seriously, there seem to be no limits as to how stupid Trumpers are. Must say his son Jr, was funny showing up coked up. As if that was bad enough, with a few laws being broken. The final night broadcast from the White House seemed to break every law in the book, using the White House for political use, ignoring social distancing and a massive firework display facilitated by federal staff (if not Funded from federal resources). Meanwhile, Jacob Blake who was shot seven times in the back whilst Unarmed and posing no threat, probably will never walk again, is having to be handcuffed to his hospital bed.

Listen to Bob Dylan’s ‘only a pawn in their game’. Getting poor whites worked up to suit a political agenda is nothing new, he wrote that song in the 60’s and reflects what is happening today (at least from what I see in the news reports). Only difference is Bob was talking about the Southern Politician’s telling the poor whites they ‘have more than the blacks, don’t complain’ and ’the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool, He is taught in his school that the laws are with him to protect his white skin, to keep up his hate so he never thinks straight’. Whereas today, this endemic of political rhetoric that stirs up people to become vigilante thugs waving guns in peoples faces appears to across the whole of America.

And so the world participates in stupidity. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53959552?intlink_from_url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world&link_location=live-reporting-storyThe greater irony, is they are supporting the politicians that will tell them what to say, what to do, what to read, burn books, etc. to a greater restriction of freedom than requiring people to do something as simple as wear a face covering to help stop the spread of a highly contagious disease when out in public. And then there are the outrageously stupid. Do not hang out with guys or gals like this. Especially, don't let your children date these people. You know he goes places and says, "I'm wearing a mask." "It is too a mask." and a pure supposition, but yeah, you know he's an abusive partner.

I was on the team when the first piece was dug up! As often happens at Vindolanda with special finds, all the volunteers are asked not to speak, photo or post on social media anything about that find. Mainly because of "Night Hawks" (thieves that raid archaeological sites at night after picking up rumours) or misinterpretations or misleading facts emerging prior to academic research within context and also pressure to comment prior to full knowledge. The Chalice was one such piece, great that I can now tell friends of that exciting find

The famed Excalibur is unearthed, not along Hadrians Wall but in South Wales.

Just in case anyone s wondering who Tony Abbot, the new UK Trade Advisor is, here is everything you need to know
If you want a summary instead. Homophobic, mysogynistic, climate change denier.
In a week when we learn that we are importing human effluent from Holland, it turns out we are also prepared to take in Australia’s as well.
