  2. Is DE actually Joe Biden incognito?
  3. "All men and women are created by the....#&)1, oh.....You know the thing" 🤣 Good ole Uncle Joe.....
  4. Nope just came back from a show in Toronto..... As I have told my kids for years - "Living is a symptom of dying"
  5. Remember the topic of Trump's age versus Hillary last election? Do you realize that DJT is the youngest male candidate running in the Presidential race this election? Warren is 70, but Democrats managed to have not one, but three male presidential candidates older than Trump: Michael Bloomberg (78), Joe Biden (77), and Bernie Sanders (78). Buttigieg was the youngest candidate in the running so his drop from the race then made Trump the youngest male candidate at 73.
  6. For the real picture - From John Hopkins...... https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 Amazing - https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-02-21/flu-season-thats-sickened-26-million-may-be-at-its-peak At least 14,000 people have died and 250,000 have already been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 26 million Americans have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms. "There is a deadly respiratory virus that is circulating throughout the United States, and it is at its peak. It is not novel coronavirus," said Dr. Pritish Tosh, an infectious disease specialist with the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn. This flu season has come in two waves and has been particularly hard on children, the experts said. The season started early, in October, with an unusual wave of influenza B virus. Influenza B is less likely than other strains to mutate and become more virulent. That means it poses a greater threat to young people than to older folks, who may have gained immunity because they encountered the strain before. But the Coronavirus is soooo much worse......2 deaths!!
  7. Almost certain there was some backroom dealing going on........As I said early on in PB's campaign, his main goal is to get a seat at the adults table in the Democrat Party. Pretty sure he is done with Indiana now.....
  8. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/top-democrat-slams-trump-job-numbers-black-americans-were-fully-employed-during-slavery House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn pushed back against claims of record-low unemployment for black Americans under the Trump administration with a reference to slavery. The South Carolina Democrat joined Fox News's Neil Cavuto on Tuesday to discuss jobs, the 2020 election, and if President Trump “delivered the goods for a lot of African Americans.” “I’m saying that the African American unemployment is not the lowest it’s ever been unless you count slavery,” Clyburn said. “We were fully employed during slavery. So this all depends on how you measure this up.” That little quote has been overlooked by about everyone......."Oh that's just old Uncle Jim", never mind him, but he ain't no racist....he just hates the orange people......
  9. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/25/brain-freeze-joe-biden-says-hes-candidate-for-the-united-states-senate/ “My name is Joe Biden. I’m a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over, if you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden,” LOL - Wut?
  10. It's just going to be fun to watch and see if the Elkhart system can plug the right coach into the program and build a feeder set up like the Penn nation and create a real competitive team.
  11. https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/ At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future. A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue. Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.” Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”? It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic. That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak. According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China. Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me. Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments. Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken. And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them. You heard me right. Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach. Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die. They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there. Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus. I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat. The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens. China has unleashed a plague on its own people. It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high. But not to worry. Xi has assured us that he is controlling biosecurity risks “to protect the people’s health.” PLA bioweapons experts are in charge. I doubt the Chinese people will find that very reassuring. Neither should we. But it is still a wild conspiracy theory....Ain't no way the Chinese are not telling the truth.......This thing just "popped up" from out of nowhere......
  12. Good for you buddy!! Be thankful for time well spent, I'm sure. I just wish my dad could have met my kids, he was a super grandpa to my brother and sister's kids. Mine would have loved him.
