ODDS & ENDS
Just a thought: Whatever happened to turning the fire hoses onto protesters? They have a remarkable effect on all the maggots causing trouble plus the fire trucks are right there to instantly put out any fires. Don't waste your time with unreliable tear gas and rubber bullets. Just turn the water on and the party's over. Easy to arrest the ones who have just felt the full force of a water cannon because you just walk over to the nearest guy laying in the street who's still shaking the cobwebs and apply the handcuffs. I guarantee very little resistance. Plus most of them can probably use a bath. Was that last sentence too snarky?

I don't know what the hell happened in Kenosha but that video sure looks bad for the officers UNLESS they saw him reaching for a weapon inside the car but it sure looked bizarre when two officers are chasing him around the front of the car with their guns drawn and no visible weapon on him. very strange.

My niece (who is a teacher and has two kids) thinks all students should be back in the class room and i totally disagree with her. As I've said for months, i think everything in-school should be cancelled for this entire school year and ALL SPORTS. DESPERATE TIMES =DESPERATE MEASURES. Let's get this nation healthy first.

Regarding the above, we all know that kids in the lower grades are walking petri dishes and infect classes AND THE TEACHER every year with colds, flu, measles, lice, mumps, chicken pox and God knows what else. How in the world are you going to protect the teacher, the teaching assistant, the janitor, the lunch room lady, the bus drivers, etc. from COVID? And as soon as one tests positive, everyone who has had contact with that student goes home for two weeks............and you know that's going to happen.

Back in WW II, people went without gasoline, tires, metal, nylon, silk, shoes, sugar, coffee and even tin cans. Nobody liked it but it had to be done 'for the cause.' And today, you should wear a mask and social distance and avoid any type of crowding, no matter how small. Nobody likes the inconvenience but it's better than dead. Just ask 175,000 families.

If you root for Chicago sports teams, this past weekend was wonderful for White Sox fans as they beat the Cubs two out of three AT wrigley field and the 'deer in the headlight' look on the faces of cub players Saturday night was worth the price of admission as the north siders realized they were no longer the best team in Chicago. The worm has definitely turned.

FYI---The Democrats are going to hold serve on the states they won in 2016 and their 227 electoral votes BUT YOU NEED 272 TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
So if they add Wisconsin (10 electoral votes--trump won by 20,000), Michigan (11 electoral votes-trump by 11,000) and throw in either Pennsylvania (20) or Florida (29), it's all over.
JOE BIDEN currently leads in the polls by 8% in wisconsin, michigan and florida, and pennsylvania is at 6%. ARE THE POLLS ACCURATE??? In just 71 days, you'll have your answer.
*******
P.S. In Arizona, where trump won by 5% in 2016, he currently trails by 9%.
11 electoral votes go to the winner of that state.

R.I.P. to WILFRED BRIMLEY, a great character actor who appeared in everything from oatmeal commercials to blockbuster movies like THE NATURAL, COCOON and ABSENCE OF MALICE. His steady voice reminded me of what a grandparent should sound like. God speed my friend. Wilfred was 85.

That's enough for now. Stay safe & cool with the
