  1. Of course I can't produce it but I thought I'd read earlier 800,000 had registered for the rally and thought what? 3/4 quarter of a million people coming to Tulsa? Then about the 20,000 seat arena for the rally? Say 700,00 outside chanting and cheering outside? I must have read wrong, must have been 80,000 registered/projected. Still, 80,000 don't fill a 20, seat arena? Is his base deserting him? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/live-updates-trump-says-he-wanted-coronavirus-testing-slowed-in-grievance-filled-speech-to-unfilled-arena/ar-BB15Kvbw?li=BBnb7Kz
  2. I read an article back in April or early May about how the virus might affect Republicans disproportionately as opposed to Democrats. It was about how a higher percentage of older voters were Republican and the virus having a more deadly effect on those in the 65 and up range. Are they trying to speed up the process in Tulsa? It's Friday night. A California Okie in Austin. With twin fiddles, a sax and trombone. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=merle+haggard+take+me+back+to+tulsa+&view=detail&mid=639BA6795667A796C455639BA6795667A796C455&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dmerle%2bhaggard%2btake%2bme%2bback%2bto%2btulsa%2b%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d9cef64babb714b46a9abbe00a16a602c%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3dmerle%2bhaggard%2btake%2bme%2bback%2bto%2btulsa%2b%26sc%3d2-36%26qs%3dn%26sk%3d%26cvid%3d9cef64babb714b46a9abbe00a16a602c
  3. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/outside-trumps-tulsa-rally-site-few-face-masks-and-no-social-distancing/ar-BB15JjUb?li=BBnb7Kz Numbers are on the rise in three adjacent states many attendees will come from, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. If there's a spike in cases among attendees in a couple of weeks will they blame it on infected antifa infiltrators?
  4. She rode the bus with and talked with him every day. They had lunch together, but he ate off by himself. And he said he would take her to Russia? Several of us ladies went to the second floor lunch room, the one where warehouse employees weren't allowed to eat... I'm going to shoot him anyway. She realized he'd done it when he was riding the bus home and he was in the seat behind her. After she'd been interviewed by the FBI and Secret Service. I.E. by that time it was after LHO had been arrested... There's more in there but what a crock.
  5. "Texas AFT (American Federation of Teachers) says a big Hell No to what looks like a return to normal in August." "We won't sacrifice our members and students for politics." Texas State Teachers Association President Candelaria said Thursday "school staff members should be involved in the government's plan to reopen schools because they have to work in school buildings. The governor and state education commissioner don't." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-teachers-resist-school-reopening-plan-as-coronavirus-cases-spike/ar-BB15GC3N?li=BBnb7Kz
  6. Helms wanting to show the NBC Garrison interview, for training purposes against such in the future is telling. In conjunction with the famous CIA memo of 1967 (?) under his watch instructing agents how to deal with the media regarding conspiracy "theories"... And his ordering an agent to smear the Kennedy's... And more, he seems a little fishy. I've read some of the "more" but not any biography or criticism of him, I don't know what's out there. That said I wonder if an impartial analysis of all available information by some young intrepid graduate assistant might make an interesting read, from a fresh perspective.
  7. Who'd a thunk this five months ago. 12 people, 16 or 28. It must be considered how many people servers and pedestrians are less than six feet to patrons on the walkway. Three, then four, then eight. https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/restaurantsandnews/is-it-actually-safe-to-dine-outside-heres-what-the-math-says/ar-BB15G6P0?li=BBnb7Kz
  8. Yippie! Football seasons getting closer by the day. Ready for that first game kickoff? Be there, live in the stands! https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/13-texas-longhorns-football-players-have-covid-19/ar-BB15FNaw?li=BBnbfcL
  9. Plague wise it hit a little closer to home today. My wife was laid off in late March. Her work, a church daycare closed in early April. She was laid off early as high risk as a diabetic. They re opened in late May. She's still laid off. Today they announced a two week shut down because an employee tested positive.
  10. It get's worse than this. In case anyone missed the link above. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rayshard-brooks-was-kicked-denied-medical-care-the-stunning-allegations-against-ex-atlanta-police-officer-garrett-rolfe/ar-BB15D7iN?li=BBnb7Kz This afternoon I read another article I just searched through three pages of MSN links about Garrett Rolfe and it's already gone with the above news. It was about Rolfe being involved in another shooting sometime over a year or so ago. Three officers involved, a (black) man who stole a truck was shot through the lung. Nothing about it in any of their reports. The final report mentions the guy was injured, he got a year in prison and probation. He was speaking up in the article saying he had complained hoping it might stop it from happening again but it fell on deaf ears. Swept under the rug. Rolfe also had I think three other complaints against him in six (?) years on the force, all dismissed so to speak.
  11. This gets worse as more of the story comes out. Shot in the back twice, one bullet hits the heart. Then instead of trying to say stop the bleeding he's kicked and has his shoulders stood on. No wonder some blacks hate or fear all whites. I don't know if Georgia has a death penalty, if not put him in prison, turn him loose in general population. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rayshard-brooks-was-kicked-denied-medical-care-the-stunning-allegations-against-ex-atlanta-police-officer-garrett-rolfe/ar-BB15D7iN?li=BBnb7Kz
  12. The terminator insist on masks! They're almost a joke around here. A few wear them sometimes some places. Not the sheriff for photo ops standing between others elbow to elbow, or other politicians. Gotta maintain that tough guy/woman image. The Gov and associates don't, it's not cool, it doesn't promote business as usual. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/arnold-schwarzenegger-leaves-legendary-gym-over-mask-policy/ar-BB15zHv1?li=BBnbfcL People on the local county facebook news page comment about the recent rise in our number of cases. It's the protest. A small one, many were masked, most were not, nor the officers joining them. It's Wal-Mart. Well they tried. Only one family member was never observed, bring the kids, stop and chat in the aisle with neighbors, cousins etc.. Masks, maybe 20% at one point, one way aisle's? No habla arrows. Since reopening and the increase I wonder about the restaurant's in particular. I've been out to eat 3X in the last month, all in other towns I had to go to, could have done drive through. 2 had every other table, 2 had no masks or gloves. Many I've observed in the evening on Friday/Saturday or Sunday morning going to get a newspaper had packed parking lots. No way they're observing social distancing. Then again the two gym's I pass have a lot of traffic. Does Arnold wonder about covid, I'll be baack.
  13. This is still so sad. If he was a danger to the storm troopers, arrest him. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/martin-gugino-75-year-old-buffalo-protester-has-a-fractured-skull-and-cannot-walk/ar-BB15zACz
  14. This was the guy Johnny Martin worked for. Martin took over Junk Handlers Union 20467 for Humphries from creator of it Leon Cooke. He then killed Cooke, who Ruby worked for as an "organizer". The union was reorganized with Paul Red Dorfman at it's head, Jack Ruby listed second on an organizational list. He stayed on a year or so. Dorfman was an associate of Humphries who connected Jimmy Hoffa with Chicago labor unions. Jacob Rubenstein changed his name legally to Jack Leon Ruby in Dallas Texas, December 1946. The WC said he had no significant previous organized crime connections. http://edmondlifeandleisure.com/murray-humphreys-chicago-crime-boss-transplanted-sooner-p12143-76.htm Regarding the transplanted okie part, apologies to Larry...
  15. I've been wondering about this in a general sense for a while. Football and basketball in particular are face to face contact sports. It's hard to imagine proper social distancing in a baseball dugout as well, the same for locker rooms for all three sports. If the NBA or MLB come back in the middle of a resurgence it could have devastating results for the players, games, seasons and Leagues long term. On a more immediate note with the NFL, Colleges, and High Schools about to start practices (some HS already have started limited) it's not only going to increase the potential for spread between players on a team but as scrimmages between teams and preseason games begin... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/ezekiel-elliotts-positive-covid-19-test-is-a-harbinger-of-things-to-come/ar-BB15w4c4?li=BBnb7Kz
  16. Don't shoot him for being drunk, resisting arrest and running away. Follow him, call for backup. I didn't see it in the video but elsewhere it say's he'd already been patted down, no weapon. He can't kill, or harm you with the taser if you stay back and follow him. The other cop's following both of you, he can assist.
  17. I'll bet this is gone as news by morning. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/over-2000-new-covid-19-cases-in-florida-for-2-straight-days-as-more-beaches-reopen/ar-BB15t8m8?li=BBnb7Kz
  18. This book, Jack Ruby The Man Who Killed The Man Who Killed Kennedy should have been titled The Anti Rush To Judgement. Gary Wills was the author, Ovid Demaris was a reporter from Chicago who interviewed and recorded people. Wills gets to the point with 26 pages left of 266. He mentions Mark Lane disparagingly 3-4 times in the last 50 pages or so but on page 240 he spends the next six pages on Nancy Perrin Rich and Lane's acceptance of her statements. Any mention of conspiracy is scoffed at. Such as Lane's confidence in Garrison. At points the book does offer interesting if skewed takes on Ruby's trial, appeal and imprisonment . Quotes from interviews of Sheriff Decker and Assistant D/A Bill Alexander are unique in what I've read. To paraphrase, The guards testified they didn't believe Ruby was insane because only a sane man could cheat that well at poker.
  19. You probably already know the 25 lighters is a reference to a way to sell drugs inside them. Or so I read when this song came out. Inspiration from an article about the streets of Houston in the early 2000's if I remember right. I saw them once in the 70's in Dallas Memorial Auditorium where JFK once gave a campaign speech and General Walker held rallies. Gibbons went into this aside as a blues song slowed down about playing there years before, walking the streets and finding a guy who sold them a matchbox full of weed. The first time I saw them in the fall of 73 at Tarrant County Convention center they played 45 minutes to an hour. I thought what? Huh? Then they came back for 5 or 6 encore's. Weird but cool. An old friend recommended the Netflix documentary about a month ago. I was floored by the background, detail and pictures. It was a joy to watch while sheltering in place. As you link Gottsa Get Paid, the first album I bought of by them was Rio Grande Mud. Which eventually led to this 80's version of . . . https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=zz+top+just+got+paid&view=detail&mid=27A11720448DBCCEDDDC27A11720448DBCCEDDDC&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dzz%2btop%2bjust%2bgot%2bpaid%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d30a0804c0e1941b9a61402cf48f6c402%26sp%3d1%26ghc%3d1%26qs%3dLS%26pq%3dzz%2btop%2bjust%26sk%3dPRES1%26sc%3d8-11%26cvid%3d30a0804c0e1941b9a61402cf48f6c402
  20. He was shot for pointing a taser? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/live-updates-wendys-where-rayshard-brooks-was-killed-engulfed-in-flames/ar-BB15rBZx?li=BBnb7Kz
  21. Speaking of Texans. Our Covid numbers are up. Statewide and locally. Students are coming in July.
  22. Outstanding Rob. Marks implicating Dulles in 1967. Wow, and so much more including his back history.
  23. Interesting. I never knew about PT 59, the evacuating Marines or JFK having one die in his bunk. Nor did I realize how well armed the PT's were. Two twin 50 cal. machineguns, two 40 mm guns, four single 50 and 30 cal. machineguns. A lot of firepower for the size of the craft. Also near 50 mph on water at the time would have been pretty fast would it not? Shame it was abandoned and sank. It should have been preserved for the sake of history.
