317 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
Okay, great news. Ted Cruz is self quarantining himself. I think he and everyone at CPAC and all the folks at Fox News, and all the Republican members of the House and the Senate should do the same.
Saw a piece on 60 Minutes about Fiona Hill. Wow. How diplomatic and positive. One of the chilling things she brought up was that Putin studies everyone he is going to meet and looks for their weaknesses and tries to exploit them. The example she used was how he had his giant Lab wander in when he was meeting with Angel Merkel. She hates dogs.
What chance does Trump stand? None. Zero.
Onto the Corona Virus. Biggest thing that can be done to combat this virus is to know the facts. Not the alternate facts, the real facts. This requires health and political officials telling the truth. What’s the chance Mike Pence or Donald Trump know the facts and can tell the truth? I put it below the chance I give of Donald Trump versus Putin.
Historically one of the things that spread the Influenza Virus of 1918 was The Sedition Act, which made it a crime to say anything negative about the government. Health officials and politicians didn’t say negative things because they could go to jail. Therefore people didn’t know what danger they were in. They congregated, got sick, and died.

So let me sum this up as best I can – tell the truth or die.
If you can’t tell the truth you should be quarantined.
There ya go. Simple solutions to complicated problems.

Rick, Thought this would interest you and Shelby: “We’re happy to report the passage of several bills today by the state Legislature in Olympia that will reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Today’s strong bipartisan passage of House Bill 2662 by the Senate, and House passage of Senate Bills 6087 and 6088 shows Washington legislators are choosing to put their constituents’ interests ahead of pharmaceutical company greed. Thank you to our volunteers and advocates who told their lawmakers it’s time to #StopRxGreed. Read our statement on today’s votes here: http://spr.ly/61851U0iU
