Over here the same, Supreme court gave the Governors and Mayors all powers to decide about quarentene and healthy management. They got money from Federal Government. Most stole the money, course..And now suddenly the only one to blame is the President..To bad people woke up and the President is doing fine on polls.

Maroczy vs Schiffers, 1898 (kibitz #11)

Geza truly made great use of his pawns in this game.

But it got no traction with the admins.

The puns are real hit and miss. I have over 150 better than today's effort sitting in queue. But, I thought(and still think) this was Pun of the Year material, although I was apparently the only one:

A Timofeev vs S Feller, 2010

Ditto this one in 2018:

<WASHINGTON — A former FBI lawyer intends to plead guilty after he was charged with falsifying a document as part of a deal with prosecutors conducting their own criminal inquiry of the Russia investigation, according to his lawyer and court documents made public Friday.

The lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, 38, who was assigned to the Russia investigation, plans to admit that he altered an email from the CIA that investigators relied on to seek renewed court permission in 2017 for a secret wiretap on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who had at times provided information to the spy agency. Clinesmith’s lawyer said he made a mistake while trying to clarify facts for a colleague.>

If you believe that last sentence, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. The guy graduated from law school and wants us to believe he can't copy and paste??

<President Donald Trump immediately promoted the plea agreement as proof that the Russia investigation was illegitimate and politically motivated, opening a White House news conference by calling Clinesmith “corrupt” and the deal “just the beginning.” Trump has long been blunt about viewing the investigation by the prosecutor examining the earlier inquiry, John Durham, as political payback whose fruits he would like to see revealed in the weeks before the election.>

Maybe more barrels of water will be drained.

Howie Carr, who used to be local out of Boston, but I guess he's syndicated now. I like Howie's sense of humor and his tone of voice. He's never whining or frustrated or angry sounding.

I guess I just don't listen to that much radio anymore, but I do listen to podcasts. The people I listen to aren't well-known because they are right wing Christian fundamentalist types, rather than conservative INC types. I like Bob Enyart, Doug Mcburney, Brannon House has some good stuff and I even have Michael Savage on podcast, although I listen to him very rarely now.

Still, if I turn any of these on and they're having a COVID show, I usually switch to another podcast.

He didn't vote for Trump. Didn't vote in the last election, so, he's one of those guys.

Negatives not withstanding, I find his show relaxing to listen to sometimes. It comes on between 8:00PM and midnight. I turn it on here and there throughout the night. If I'm in the car at that time, I might turn it one just to have something to listen to, but I can just as easily turn it off if they talk about COVID.

I'm done listening to COVID stuff.

Life has returned back to normal for me for the most part and I don't participate in the madness by watching TV (I haven't had a TV since, I think, 2009) or listening to the trendy talk shows like Rush, Hannity and so on.

I tend to agree with Rush and Hannity and they're basically the Good Guys in all of this, but they offer no insight so I'm bored with them. It's just a place for conservatives to go and complain about how rotten the left is. I'm done with that. It doesn't interest me. Hannity has a lot of frustration in his voice. Can't listen to him for long. Plus, he repeats himself way too much and he talks over his guests all the time.

The liberal faithful probably believe all the rubbish these liberal leaders spew.

I suspect mayors such as Lightfoot are collaborators. They support the looters and rioters. They can't say so publicly so they have to give convoluted explanations to explain what's happening. They're only pretending to oppose these things for public consumption.

Liberals are as stated more correctly leftists that operate off of hate, lies and confusion... Those who are hell bent on it can't be swayed by reason in the same way brain surgery won't cure a heart ailment and that is what they have. The core of this movement is Marxist and as such they use racial strife and tension for an end goal, not for the betterment of minorities. If they truly cared about black lives they would ban Margaret Sanger's Eugenics termination centers....

That's what I'm going to ask for if I get it.>

Neither the FDA nor the European sister organization EMA recommends the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19 outside of clinical studies. There are several possible side effects, e.g. cardiac disorders. One can choose not to believe the research here, but as I am not a doctor (and hence have a difficult time understanding fully all effects) I would personally listen to the authorities in such case.

What?? I saw some French studies, very very promissing. And...

Well, a few weeks ago I posted a link to an article about the close relationship between Chi-town politicians (mostly south-side) and various gangs.

So yeah, most politicians in Chicago work with criminals, be they gangs or domestic terrorists or what have you.

... as I am not a doctor ... I would personally listen to the authorities in such case.>

Bad idea, in many cases. And it pains me to say it.

I earned a doctorate in physics, but even before I completed my studies I was working in the tech industry. I did research into various materials for use in semiconductor devices, and also served an internship under a principle engineer at a semiconductor tool manufacturer.

Basically, everyone working in my industry must have intellectual honesty, because our jobs depend on it. If the computer chips don't work, we can't stay in business. We have to get it right.

Without giving it much thought at the time, I assumed that it was likewise in other industries, and deferred to experts in other fields over my own thinking.

But as the years have gone by, I have learned both through my own experience (and that of other people), deferring to experts is often a mistake.

(We can thank the internet for the opportunity to compare notes with people all over the world on just about every topic there is.)

Unlike my industry, folks in fields such as medicine and nutrition can not only get away with peddling BS, but they can enrich themselves by doing so.

The job of a physician used to be, way back when, to heal the sick. Now their job is to "treat" the sick with big pharma products that never cure anything. That way, big pharma and the physician can get periodic payments from sick people. In other words, a recurring income stream.

<Diceman>, what post are you responding to? Exactly what are you responding to?>

Not so much a single post, but statements within them such as this:

<Half the country (or so) thinks this way, and these people vote. This is why democracy is destined to fail. >

<Is it better to have freedom or justice? Is it better to have peace or justice?
Is a free society better than a just society?
Is a free society better than a moral society?

<All of these brainwashed conservative sheep out there think democracy was handed down to America from God Himself. As though the constitution is another book in the bible. As though the founding fathers were new apostles appointed to America in 1776. >

What's the use? No one here is ready for this rhetoric of mine, that much I know. They think "<Big Pawn> sometimes goes too far." I wonder if the Good People ever consider their own biases? Do they ever perceive with objective eyes the box that their minds are stuck in? Could it even be possible that the Good People are stuck in a box and don't know it, just like the libs (but a different box)?

I won't waste my time debating it - yet.>

When you first mentioned being an "Emperor" on the rogoff page, I thought it was a joke, as conservatism has no "emperor." Simply a device you used to mock the libs.

Now I see that that you really don't trust
"us" voting. (or freedom for that matter) You are speaking as if you want this "emperor" to judge our morality. To weed out the trash on election day.

This kind of stuff:

<What's the use? No one here is ready for this rhetoric of mine, that much I know. They think >

Is pure lib.
On the rogoff page, I call it, "in-between-the-ears" analysis.

When you say this:

<Half the country (or so) thinks this way>

You also seem to miss, a lot of what they think is true. There has been atrocity/destruction committed on the black man. Where they are wrong is, it isn't about America/white people/capitalism, it is about one party, greedy/power hungry/and fascist.

I think democracy is workable in an educated, white country.

Meanwhile people die as they wait for never to come studies. Recently the NIH conducted studies on HCQ by itself, HCQ with an antibiotic but not HCQ with zinc, which is what has been found to be effective. As Dr. Zelenko said HCQ is the gun, the zinc is the bullet and you need both to be effective.

Why didn't they study HCQ + zinc which has been shown to be effective? The PTB obviously don't want a cure for the Wuhan virus.

<There are several possible side effects, e.g. cardiac disorders. One can choose not to believe the research here, but as I am not a doctor (and hence have a difficult time understanding fully all effects) I would personally listen to the authorities in such case.>

HCQ is known to be a safe drug and has been used for decades to treat malaria. The allegedly dangerous side effects myth is based on an article in The Lancet that has been proven to be fraudulent. The Lancet has already withdrawn the article.
