NO. And neither would the President. (IMHO) And there is no "effort" to do such a thing. As I said - baiting the Dems who think it is so unsafe for the public to leave their homes..... (IMHO)

I'll tell Nate at Grand Rental Station to bring a few in, he may get a few customers on em this season.......

So the 3 question marks following that comment mean nothing? I saw that and my first thought was he was baiting the democrats......I guess I was right........Now it has become "Trump is so stupid he thinks he has the authority to change the election date, SEE - he even said so!!"

Where in his tweet did he actually "suggest" he would have this authority?

Here comes the next phase of protective measure talking points from the great Dr. Fauci and the CDC/NIH.......Goggles / eye protection...... https://abcnews.go.com/US/dr-fauci-wear-goggles-eye-shields-prevent-spread/story?id=72059055 Dr. Fauci: Wear goggles or eye shields to prevent spread of COVID-19; flu vaccine a must Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested Wednesday that Americans should consider wearing goggles or a face shield in order to prevent spreading or catching COVID-19. "If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it," the nation's top infectious disease expert told ABC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton during an Instagram Live conversation on ABC News. When asked if we're going to get to a point where eye protection is recommended, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases responded, "It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces." "You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye," he continued. "Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it." He noted that goggles and eye or face shields are "not universally recommended" at this time, "but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can." The novel coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 662,000 people worldwide so far and more than 16.8 million people across the world have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Currently, the United States is the worst-affected country, with more than 4.3 million diagnosed cases and over 150,000 deaths. Fauci called out four states by name that are struggling to get the virus in check. He and Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus task force coordinator, addressed these states in a call with governors Tuesday. Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana are among those that "are starting to show that very subtle increase in percent positives among the total tested, which is a surefire hint that you may be getting into the same sort of trouble with those states that the southern states got into trouble with. So we're watching that really carefully." Birx has toured those states in the past week, meeting with officials in each state. Fauci also discussed when people should get tested for COVID-19 if they believe they've been exposed to the virus, since there are no official guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the National Institutes of Health on when to get tested. "That question came up at the task force meeting yesterday and we asked the same thing and we said there's no real recommendation," Fauci said. "I would think that five [days] is good. I might even go a day or so early because the incubation period of when you get symptoms is about five days." The window Fauci recommended is "no earlier than three [days] or no later than five or six." As the summer transitions into the fall, Fauci also discussed the oncoming flu season. Fauci said he hopes wearing masks will help limit the spread of influenza as well. "It is inevitable that we're going to have some degree of flu," he said. "I'm hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza." He said two circulating respiratory viruses really "confuses the situation" since symptoms of the novel coronavirus and flu are so similar. "Go out there and get your flu shot when the flu vaccine becomes available," he urged. Fauci chalked up his own good health to genetics, which he said was probably inherited by his father, who lived to 97. The 79-year-old has joked about his own age, most recently when he struggled while throwing out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals' home opener. He gets up at 5 a.m. every morning, grabs juice or eggs and will drink two "very strong" double espressos as he tackles his email. He works late, tries to squeeze in a run -- he noted he used to run marathons in his younger days -- and then will work "well into the night." "Sleep is the one thing that's really suffered in all this," he said. He also joked about his baseball card, featuring his opening pitch last week, which is breaking sales records: "It's a combination of humbling and really embarrassing. ... Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle are looking down from heaven at me and saying, 'Are you kidding?'"

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/herman-cain-obituary/2020/07/30/id/979733/ Herman Cain — the maverick American business czar and Republican presidential candidate who campaigned for a sweeping tax reform plan called 9-9-9 — died Thursday morning after a monthlong battle with the coronavirus. He was 74. Cain, who recently joined Newsmax TV and was set to launch a weekly show, died in an Atlanta-area hospital where he had been critically ill for several weeks. He was admitted on July 1, two days after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Ten days before, Cain had attended a rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma. But it is not known for sure where Cain, chair of Black Voices for Trump, was infected. He had been on a whirlwind travel schedule in June, stopping in multiple cities. “He was one of the most original thinkers in American politics. He creative strong convictions, an open mind and a deep sense of patriotism,’’ veteran political consultant Dick Morris told Newsmax. “He was a great friend, a great guy. Suddenly, the plague strikes home.’’ Cain was a self-made man with an extraordinary backstory — one that made him a towering example of hard work paying off. He was born Dec. 13, 1945, in Memphis, Tennessee and was grew up poor in Atlanta, Georgia, where his father worked three jobs — as janitor, barber, and chauffeur — while his mother toiled as a domestic. A stellar student who worked hard, Cain graduated from Morehouse College with a mathematics degree in 1967. A year later, he married Gloria Etchison, who he had met when he was a sophomore at Morehouse and she a freshman at Morris Brown College. Cain went on to earn a master’s in computer science from Purdue University in 1971, and helped develop fire control ballistics for ships and fighter planes for the U.S. Navy. Next, he joined the Coca-Cola Co. as a systems analyst, and after considerable success, moved to the Pillsbury Co. After serving as regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King, Cain then took on the biggest challenge of his career as president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, a national chain teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In 14 months, he returned Godfather’s to profitability and led his management team to a buyout of the company. Later, Cain said he could explain his success at Godfather’s Pizza in one word, “marketing.” Cain, who long held an interest in public policy, became chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1995, serving in the position for 20 months. In 2019, Trump nominated Cain to Federal Reserve Board. But the nomination drew serious flak from Congress and Cain’s detractors. “Because I ran as a Republican for president and the United States Senate, and because I am an outspoken voice of conservatism, an outspoken voice of the Constitution and the laws, I’m being attacked,” Cain said, shortly before asking the president to withdraw his nomination. Cain’s first dabbling into politics came in 1996, when he was tapped as senior adviser to the Dole/Kemp campaign for the presidency. He ran for a Senate seat in Georgia in 2004, but was defeated in the Republican primary by Johnny Isakson. In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, but with aggressive treatment was able to beat the disease. In his book, “This is Herman Cain!,’’ he discussed his life-threatening illness, writing: “It’s been more than six years since then. And guess what? I’m completely cancer-free! Cured! Why was I spared against those odds? God said, ‘Not yet!’’’ Cain told CNN he began mulling a run for office because, following his triumph over cancer, he felt he had to do "something bigger and bolder.” From 2008 to 2011, he hosted “The Herman Cain Show’’ on Atlanta radio station WSB. Then, in May 2011, he announced his candidacy for president as a conservative on the GOP ticket, his major campaign issue being the urgent need for top-to-bottom U.S. tax reform. According to Cain, 9-9-9 would replace the current imbalanced, unfair tax code with three flat taxes: 9-percent business transactions tax, a 9-percent personal income tax, and a 9-percent federal sales tax — a switch that would trigger a great savings to taxpayers. While his fellow candidates were skeptical of 9-9-9, the plan resonated with Americans and he soon, with the help of a strong Tea Party base, he rose to the top of Republican polls in the race. In October of 2011, a Public Policy Polling poll had him leading Mitt Romney by 8 percentage points — 30% to 22%. “His proposal for 9-9-9 captured the public imagination for months. And it might still pave the way for a fundamental tax reform,’’ Morris said. During his run, Cain readily spoke his mind on a variety of subjects. On Bloomberg View, he said: “The only tactic liberals have is to try to intimidate people into thinking that the Tea Party is racist. The Tea Party is not a racist movement, period! If it were, why would the straw polls keep showing that the black guy is winning? That’s a rhetorical question. "Let me state it: The black guy keeps winning.” In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Cain said: “Stupid people are ruining America.” And in a campaign event in South Carolina, Cain said: “"If Obamacare had been fully implemented when I caught cancer, I'd be dead." He was an unabashed conservative: opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage. He told the Chattanooga Times Free Press “We have a war on our moral fiber. We will not allow the godless few to destroy our moral foundation.” “Herman Cain resonated with Americans at every level because they sensed his authenticity,” Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said of his late friend. “He had a folksy, disarming appeal. You immediately felt his love of country and God.” This past February Ruddy said he invited Cain to visit Mar-a-Lago and the Trump Golf Course in West Palm Beach. “The president spotted Herman and yelled out ‘9-9-9’, and everyone roared with laughter,” Ruddy said. Cain reveled in Trump’s business approach to politics and his independent style – one that mirrored his own. “I’m not a professional politician. I’m a professional problem solver,” he remarked. Cain’s meteoric political rise was cut short when he was forced to suspend his campaign in December 2011, after two women accused him of sexual harassment during his stint as CEO of the National Restaurant Association from 1996 to 1999. Despite his exit, Cain vehemently denied the charges, and his wife solidly stood by her man, insisting “he totally respects women.” After seeking the presidency, Cain formed Cain Solutions Revolution, which worked with political and business leaders at the national level to promote problem-solving policy ideas. He also served as an ordained associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church in Atlanta. Cain, had hosted a radio talk show and was a familiar face to cable news viewers. In April, joined Newsmax TV, saying he was “very excited” to be joining “one of America’s leading cable news networks.” After he was hospitalized, Cain seemed to be responding to treatment, with his Twitter feed announcing that his breathing was “getting stronger every day. Make no mistake: He is improving!” But in the past week, his health took a turn for the worse. In one of his videos aired June 11 on his hermancain.com blog, Cain said: “We must continue to spread the coronavirus message: social distancing, sanitizing, hair-washing and masks. Don’t take it for granted, take it seriously.’’ Cain is survived by his wife Gloria, and two children, Vincent and Melanie, and four grandchildren.

Typical "black guy" response.....

Anyhoooo - Dr. Fauci before he thought masks were a good idea......the first time....In his own words......

I often wonder how my next door neighbor's daughter who I have know since a snotty nose 5 years old and still is my daughter's best friend could all of a sudden want to be a man...... and then go through with the logistics of making that happen at 28 years old.......But I still love my neighbors......and hope for the best for him......(still can't get used to calling "him") Love the sinner, hate the sin......

Maybe the "cray cray" nurse isn't so far out there after all....Here is the paper that started the good doctor Fauci on the path of recommending anti-malaria drug therapy as "hopeful" until he was corrected by whoever is influencing his thinking......for whatever the reason...... https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3575899&fbclid=IwAR21brCvvOFVFh5DOlOjaGyHJHs2_LBlnaSiqMI8fhkVdkwUTs9cSlik2Cw

A person's "belief" in the shape of the earth other than an orbital ellipse is what I would describe a character flaw that I feel has very little to do with her ability to keep my books correctly since she has been doing my stuff since the 90's. FWIW - I still respect Muda's opinions except as it may apply to Christianity since he and I do not share the same opinion on that topic.

My accountant is a "flat earther"..... I am not a doctor, but I do prefer to trust a doctor to give me accurate advice on things medically-related (regardless of whether or not he/she thinks people may get an STD from an alien or whatever). I trusted the Fauci/Birx crew early on in this crisis that started before March, but since Dr. Fauci and his ilk have moved the goalposts so many times (actually if you really look at his answers you will see he always gives positive nods to both sides of and issue in a way that he can never be called "wrong") I will tend to believe what started early in this crisis and originated in other countries may be the one thing that could really work. And again - I find it really puzzling why this story of these doctors staging a news conference at the SCOTUS was ignored and then attempted to be removed from the public scrutiny.

https://www.bbc.com/news/53559938 The taking down of a viral video by social media companies has reignited a highly-charged controversy in the US over the use of the anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine. In the video, members of the group America's Frontline Doctors promote it both as a preventative measure and as a cure for Covid-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) say "there is currently no proof" that hydroxychloroquine is effective as a treatment or prevents coronavirus. The video was broadcast online by right-wing online platform Breitbart, viewed over 17 million times on Facebook. It was also shared on Twitter by Donald Trump and many of his supporters. The president's son, Donald Jnr, was suspended from tweeting for 12 hours by Twitter after he posted it on his account. What does the video claim? The video, a 45-minute livestream of the first day of a "White Coat" summit by the group, was posted to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube by Breitbart and quickly went viral. "The virus has a cure, it's called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax," says one of the doctors in the video. "You don't need masks. There is a cure. I know they don't want to open schools. No, you don't need people to be locked down. There is prevention and there is a cure." Image captionThe video shows doctors in white coats in front of the US Supreme Court The Facebook video, as well as racking up millions of views, was shared nearly 600,000 times before it was taken down. The hashtag #hydroxychloroquine was tweeted more than 153,000 times, becoming one of Twitter's top trends in the US overnight. Multiple versions of the video continue to be widely shared on social media. According to data from the Facebook-owned social media analytics tool CrowdTangle, public posts in the last 24 hours containing the word hydroxychloroquine have had 6.6 million engagements (likes, shares, views, comments and reactions) on Facebook and Instagram despite the removal of several versions of the video. In a statement to BBC News, Twitter said: "Tweets with the video are in violation of our Covid-19 misinformation policy. We are taking action in line with our policy here." "We've removed this video for sharing false information about cures and treatments for Covid-19," Facebook told the BBC, confirming it was also removing other versions of the video. YouTube told the BBC: "We have removed the video for violating our Covid-19 misinformation policies." BBC News also approached Breitbart, the White House and America's Frontline Doctors for comment. What is the evidence for hydroxychloroquine? The drug is a well-known treatment for malaria and was first touted by President Trump in March in connection with Covid-19. The WHO says: "While several drug trials are ongoing, there is currently no proof that hydroxychloroquine or any other drug can cure or prevent COVID-19." Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES "The misuse of hydroxychloroquine can cause serious side effects and illness and even lead to death," it adds. A study conducted by Oxford University found the drug was not effective against Covid-19 in hospitalised patients. Its effectiveness when used early on during treatment is still being studied, as is its use as a preventative measure. Coronavirus and hydroxychloroquine: What do we know? Medical trials have so far been inconclusive and the results of larger-scale randomised studies will be needed to know if it's effective or not. In July, the US Food and Drug Administration warned against the use of the drug outside a hospital setting because of possible risks to the heart from taking it. Who are the doctors? America's Frontline Doctors is a collection of physicians critical of the scientific consensus around the pandemic. Their event was backed by the Tea Party Patriots, a conservative organisation seeking to re-elect President Trump. Its founder, Simone Gold, organised a letter to Mr Trump calling for an end to lockdown measures in May. Participants were encouraged to seek out interviews with social media influencers as the best way to connect with Americans. There has been intense debate on social media in recent months about hydroxychloroquine, and influential Fox News anchors have also run segments favouring the drug. Ralph Norman, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, was standing alongside the doctors when they delivered their news conference. The debate has been increasingly dividing Americans along political lines, with proponents of hydroxychloroquine pointing to President Trump's support of it while accusing critics of covering up its potential effectiveness. https://thetablet.org/video-of-doctors-touting-covid-19-drug-removed-from-twitter/ WINDSOR TERRACE — As COVID-19 continues to strike hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S., divisions within the medical community over how to treat the virus have risen to the surface. The anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is at the center of one recent controversy. A video featuring medical professionals from a group called America’s Frontline Doctors, in which they tout the benefits of hydroxychloroquine, was removed from Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube among other sites on the night of July 27. Twitter representatives charged that the video contains misinformation. “Tweets with the video are in violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” according to Twitter spokeswoman Liz Kelley. “We removed it for sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19,” Facebook spokesman Andy Stone tweeted. President Donald Trump, who says he has taken hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against COVID-19 and has touted the drug several times, shared the video with his 84 million Twitter followers before it was removed. Despite the social media pushback, members of America’s Frontline Doctors are not backing down. The group held a conference, called the White Coat Summit, in Washington D.C. on July 27-28 to discuss treatments for COVID-19, including the use of hydroxychloroquine, and to address what they call the “massive disinformation campaign” regarding the pandemic and “to empower Americans to stop living in fear.” The video taken down from social media sites is of a press conference that shows several medical professionals talking about the anti-malaria drug as an effective treatment for coronavirus. The doctors openly question why it isn’t more widely used for patients. Dr. Stella Immanuel, a physician, went so far as to describe hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19 when used in concert with two other drugs – zinc and Zithromax. “America, there is a cure for COVID,” Immanuel says on the video. That view flies in the face of the opinions of other medical experts. There is no known cure for COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. “I’ve seen it work. So far, I’ve not lost one patient,” Immanuel insisted, going as far as to call it “unethical” for hydroxychloroquine not to be used by doctors. Immanuel has made controversial medical claims in the past. Certain medical conditions like infertility and impotence, she says, are the result of people having sex in their dreams with witches and demons. Her own Facebook biography describes her as a “prophet of God to the nations” and says she is a “Physician, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, Deliverance Minister, God’s battle-ax, and weapon of war.” Hydroxychloroquine is “an amazing drug,” said Dr. Richard Urso. Urso said there is a great deal of research showing hydroxychloroquine to be effective. “The science is all right here,” he says in the video. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is urging caution when it comes to hydroxychloroquine. FDA experts have said the anti-malaria drug comes with serious health risks for COVID-19 patients. In June, the FDA revoked an emergency approval it had awarded that allowed doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 patients. Dr. Robert Tiballi, an infectious disease specialist in Elgin, Illinois, favors the use of hydroxychloroquine. But he said the argument in favor of it is more nuanced than the media is presenting. Tiballi, who has often appeared in “Ask the Doctor” segments on Currents News on NET-TV, said numerous studies have shown that hydroxychloroquine is highly effective in treating COVID-19 – but only if used as a course of treatment very early on in the progression of the virus. “If it is prescribed within the first two days of diagnosis, it is very effective,” he told The Tablet. “Studies have shown that there was a drastic difference in the death rates in patients who took it early versus the death rates of patients who took it later on. The difference was obvious.” Hydroxychloroquine can also be useful as a way to help prevent COVID-19, according to Tiballi. “If you gave it to every adult in America, it is possible you could see COVID disappear,” he said. Tiballi also questioned why hydroxychloroquine has fallen out of favor in many medical circles: “The world Health Organization, up until last year, called it one of the best drugs out there.” He criticized sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube for taking down the video featuring America’s Front Line Doctors. When asked if he believed the doctors were being censored, Tiballi said, “There’s no question they are.” The America’s Frontline Doctors press conference video has drawn controversy for other reasons. In it, Immanuel speaks out against social distancing and wearing face masks as the sole factors in slowing down the spread of COVID-19. “You don’t need a mask,” she said. “We don’t need to be locked down” when there are effective treatments, she said. Despite the video being removed, it was still popping up on social media sites, largely because users shared it and re-uploaded it. Meanwhile, other controversies have come to the forefront of the medical community. Dr. Sapan Desai, a vascular surgeon who supplied information for two published medical studies that found that hydroxychloroquine was linked to increased deaths in COVID-19 patients, was later found to have cut corners and misrepresented data in his research, the New York Times reported. The two studies, published in May, have since been retracted, according to the Times. Those last 2 sentences are part of my reasoning for not trusting the experts the MSM keeps telling us to. You never hear about how their studies have been refuted and retracted.......

So multiple patients successfully recovering is not credible?

Or - maybe after successfully treating patients since March as they have stated they feel they are equal to "extensive testing" especially since these meds in their trio have been on the market for years...... AGAIN - my original point being - why was this so (quietly) immediately crushed..... without so much as a whisper.....

BR - You maybe want to tell us about the other doctors who were there? She is not the point.....She was not the only doctor there and spoke. My point is this - Why the immediate and virtually total cover-up by every social media platform on this event? Where was the media that should have been covering this - and why are they trying to ignore it now? Why did Twitter suspend DJT Jr. for sharing a video of multiple doctors expressing their opinion on medicine? Because it runs contrary to a system that has moved the goalposts at nearly every twist and turn since March? At the very least it's an opinion from medical doctors, at the very worst, it's a cover-up by social media that is and has been costing lives in the US. Cuomo sent folks (actual Covid patients) into retirement homes and nursing homes that infected (and killed) hordes of people, they overstated the need of respirators and the actual death counts and rates to the point we shut the economy down. We built emergency rooms and sent a Navy ship into NY Harbor that were barely used and quietly shut down. Now the case numbers are being inflated at catastrophic levels everywhere BUT NY just to keep the story that this virus is way out of control alive. Yeah the virus is real, I know, but I have seriously questioned this knee-jerk over-reaction from the onset and this event tends to make me want to put another layer of foil on my tin cap.....(IMHO)

https://thepoliticalinsider.com/george-soros-spends-record-52-million-on-2020-election-cycle/?fbclid=IwAR2E44I45e6O9GzanRdtzp_wtDFw0KilFCigqcWT8-1XbdFEBwei2YUPAAg George Soros Spends Record $52 Million On 2020 Election Cycle BY LIFEZETTE JULY 28, 2020 AT 1:30PM Share Tweet Share Share Flip It Comment Email Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reveal that the radically liberal billionaire George Soros has poured a record $52 million into this year’s election cycle. Soros reportedly increased his political spending through his Democracy PAC, which he created last year in order to enable him to pump large sums of money into liberal groups. FEC filings show that the PAC sent out $17 million last quarter, bringing its total cash disbursements this cycle to $48 million. Soros also donated another $4 million directly to Democratic campaigns without putting this money through his PAC, bringing his total spending on this election cycle so far to $52 million, according to The Washington Free Beacon. The very same Democratic candidates who are benefiting from Soros’s millions are the same people who have been blasting the influence of money on politics lately. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s own website even includes his promise to “reduce the corrupting influence of money in politics.” “We could improve our politics overnight if we flushed big money from the system and had public financing of our elections… Democracy works best when a big bank account or a large donor list are not prerequisites for office,” the website continues. “While Democrats across the country sanctimoniously rail against the influence of dark money in politics, their party’s largest donors are bankrolling a massive web of liberal organizations to get them elected,” one GOP operative said earlier this month. “George Soros’s unprecedented spending further highlights just how dependent Democrats are on contributions from billionaires, despite their hypocritical rhetoric,” the operative added. Soros has taken steps to obscure his spending on this election cycle by not donating under his name. Instead, he’s gone about donating by transferring tens of millions from the Fund for Policy Reform, a $750 million nonprofit in his large Open Society Foundation network, into Democracy PAC. This PAC then sends the money to the Democratic candidates and groups, allowing Soros to keep his name off the donor list. Earlier this year, Soros discussed how important he feels this election is, claiming that the “fate of the world” is at stake. He also called President Donald Trump a “con man” and an “authoritarian” who is “willing to sacrifice the national interests for his personal interests.” One has to wonder "If Biden was as far in the lead as the polls are saying he is - Why does Soros feel the need to pump so much money into the Democrat Party?"
