WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

Ohio governor Mike DeWine has tested positive for the coronavirus. He would be the second state governor to be tested positive for COVID-19. The first governor to be tested positive for the coronavirus was Oklahoma governor Kevin Stits.

The 73-year old Republican lawmaker was planning to join Trump for a Republican fundraiser when he tested positive.

"Today, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine took a test for COVID-19 as a part of the standard protocol to greet President Donald Trump on the tarmac at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland," the governor's office said. "Governor DeWine has no symptoms at the present time."

It was standard protocol to take a COVID-19 test before greeting the president.

Even with all the state mandates, DeWine still caught it.

DeWine was one of the first state governors to shut down Ohio. At one time, he was doing reasonably well with his pressers with then health director Dr. Amy Acton. The Ohio Republicans fought her tooth and nail to reopen up Ohio.

Acton resigned shortly after.

Now DeWine is operating a ship without a navigator.

DeWine and his wife Fran will return to Columbus to be tested. They have the governor's mansion in Bexley and a private home in Cedarville.

Trump wished the governor a speedy recovery.

"We want to wish him the best," Trump said. "He'll be OK...he's a great guy."

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will also take a COVID-19 test. He tested negative.

The news also gets bad for Republicans. Ohio went to Trump in 2016. I first said that Ohio was going to Trump. Now Ohio goes from LEAN REPUBLICAN to TOSS UP.

Larry Householder was caught by the feds after he took millions of kickbacks.

Republicans were rocked by scandal. Ohio lawmaker Larry Householder was criminally charged with corruption and racketeering. Back in July, the former Ohio state house speaker was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice for numerous criminal acts. He along with Juan Cespedes, Neil Clark, Jeff Longstreth and Matt Borges are criminally charged with operating a criminal conspiracy that helped them raking over $60 million in kickbacks.

The state legislature passed HB6 in 2019. The law had offered bailouts to two nuclear plants which at one time were part of First Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of First Energy. After the company went bankrupt they company would pressure Householder to save it from closing. So Householder force a bill through to help the nuclear power plants. Once it was passed, this shadow group called Generation Now gave Householder and his buddies the kickbacks.

The feds said that Householder used portions of the money for a summer home, a nice vehicle, lots of parties and plenty of women.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
