Trump continues to not take the coronavirus seriously.
Folks, I hate the Blogger interface.
It's terrible and I believe my days here at Journal de la Reyna will come to an end soon. I will not tolerate Google's antics. I am so fed up with this new interface. It has deleted two of my most recent postings and has been very difficult to steer through.
Nonetheless I keep saying this.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE! VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!

Donald J. Trump tested positive for the coronavirus. He was administered a mixture of medications and now he claims he's "cured" of the coronavirus. He has returned back on social media attacking rival Joe Biden and Democrats. He complains about the junk food media and he says that he wants to resume campaigning.
They still don't get it. The coronavirus has affected many at the White House.
Trump is pushing for Black vote. He held his first event for African Americans at the White House on Saturday.
Trump made his first appearance at the White House. He had a gathering of hundreds at the White House and it was sponsored that by the articiulate idiot, Candace Owens.
The Black fascist is the founder of BLEXIT. The purpose of this is to convince Black voters to abandon the Democratic Party and embrace the white nationalist policies of the Republican Party.
Owens is the leading voice of this movement. She is also one of the many agitators who refuse to wear a mask in public. Even though she's pregnant, she's still advocating for people to go out without them.
The COVID-19 pandemic has killed over 250,000 Americans and has infected over 9 million.
Trump and Republicans have no plan on how to combat this. Matter of fact, Republicans are panicking over the handling by Trump.
Trump resumed public events Saturday with a divisive speech at the White House, where he potentially put lives at risk once again, just nine days after he revealed his own Covid-19 diagnosis.
After being sidelined from the campaign trail for more than a week, Trump leaned into his law-and-order message in a speech threaded with falsehoods that was clearly a campaign rally disguised as a White House event, which again featured scant social distancing.
Trump claimed that if the left gains power, they'll launch a crusade against law enforcement. Echoing his highly inaccurate campaign ads that suggest that Democratic nominee Joe Biden would defund 911 operations and have a "therapist" answer calls about crime, Trump falsely claimed that the left is focused on taking away firearms, funds and authority from police.
As at all of his campaign events, Trump's law-and-order rhetoric applied only to his antipathy toward Democrats and the left. He made no mention of the growing power of right-wing hate and anti-government extremist groups, including those who were charged this week in an alleged plot to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and instigate a civil war. Attorney General William Barr, for all his focus on left-wing violence, hasn't commented publicly on the arrests.
What a sick crowd!
Trump continued downplaying the virus, saying the US would "defeat it" and that scientists and pharmaceutical companies are producing powerful therapeutics. The vaccine is "coming out very, very soon," he said, even though the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said most Americans aren't likely to get a vaccine until at least the middle of next year.
And Trump continued to use the racist language the "China virus," noting flareups in Europe and Canada, but without mentioning the upward trend in new cases in the United States. "A lot of flareups, but it's going to disappear, it is disappearing and vaccines are going to help," he said.
Saturday's large gathering followed Trump's acknowledgment during a televised interview with Fox News Friday that he may have contracted the virus at one of the recent events at the White House. Trump gave an incomprehensible answer about his latest coronavirus test results Friday.
"I haven't even found out numbers or anything yet, but I've been retested and I know I'm at either the bottom of the scale or free," Trump told Fox News' medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "They test every couple of days, I guess, but it's really at a level now that's been great -- great to see it disappear."
Google rolled out their new interface for Blogger and it went permanently into effect around mid-October. You can't revert back to "Legacy" and folks are furious that the changes haven't made it any better.
Trust me, I am like one of millions of Blogger posters who expected this new interface to be a success. No.... I am not impressed and I am looking forward to ending Blogger and joining Wordpress.
I only hope that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win this election. If they do, at least I'll have the satisfaction knowing that leaving Blogger for Wordpress was worth it.
Again, we say this.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE! VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!

There is no justice for James Scurlock. The young man killed by a far-right extremist during the height of the George Floyd protests sparked outrage in Omaha, Nebraska.
The far-right extremist wasn't indicted by the Douglas County Prosecutor. He claimed that the extremist used self-defense.
The state would later charge this white extremist with manslaughter and reckless endangerment that led to a fatality.
The extremist would eventually flee to Oregon to kill himself after he was indicted.
The incident occurred on May 30, 2020. The 22-year old James Scurlock was shot by this white extremist who wanted to start trouble. James and his friends were among the protesters and demonstrators who took to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd, the Minnesota man who was killed by a Minneapolis cop who placed his knee on his neck.
The extremist who posted on social media his disgust of Black Lives Matter and threatened to "handle business" wanted to confront the protesters.
So there was an altercation between James and this white extremist. This extremist pulled his firearm out of his waistband and shot him in the shoulder which ended up being a fatal injury.
Trump supporting white extremist shot and killed James Scurlock.
White prosecutor Don Kleine decided to not charge this white extremist because he felt that James causing minor damage to property is a reason to kill. The prosecutor who was a Democrat came out as a far-right Republican. He would switch parties because he got flack for being an enabler.
Black people are getting fed up with this.
We protest.
We call for justice.
We call for peace.
We call for change in the way police handle situations.
We say we all want to go home.
We register to vote.
And nothing ever changes. It's getting to a point where now, if more Black men and women are killed by police, there's going to be someone who harbors hatred towards law enforcement plotting to assassinate police officers at their weakest points.
It touches the nation's politicians, entertainers, athletes, social media activists and families of the victims. We see these incidents over and over again. Never in my life, have I seen this much brutality from police towards people of color.
Trump, himself had told cops to rough up people.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community ... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence will affect your town, your family and your life.
Nebraska prosecutor switches parties. He is a coward and failure.
Everyday at least 103 people die from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country. Police shootings are part of the systematic problem with gun violence. No amount of training will ever stop a cop from using split judgement when it comes to a life-or-death situation. However, given how many of these incidents should have involved deescalation, these fatal encounters should have been prevented.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK MAN FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS. We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!
STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!
Everytime a person of color is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect.
WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS NARRATIVE! NO MORE EXCUSES! IF YOU CAN DETAIN ARMED WHITE SUSPECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETAIN A BLACK MAN WITHOUT USING DEADLY FORCE! WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA ALWAYS SHOWING THE MUGSHOTS OF A PERSON OF COLOR BEING SHOT BY THE COPS! WHY CAN'T THEY USE PICTURES OF THE VICTIM BEING A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CRIMINAL. THEY SHOWED POSITIVE PICTURES OF THAT WHITE TERRORIST WHO KILLED TWO PROTESTERS IN WISCONSIN. THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN HIS MUGSHOT YET. IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD!
Quickly I want to address the "elephant in the room."
I am seriously considering going to Wordpress. This new interface is terrible.
I am seriously going to scale back on Blogger. As much as I love to post on Journal de la Reyna, I am not pleased with Google's changes to Blogger.
This interface is not allowing me to save posts and embedded Twitter and YouTube videos. I am so frustrated that they resorted to converting the interface to this garbage.
So let this sink in..........
If Google don't change or improve this interface, I am going to wrap it up by the end of the year and join Wordpress. I will continue to post on Journal de la Reyna for the remainder of the year but I will cut back by 2021.
It might be the last formal debate between President Donald J. Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. The president's refusal to hold a virtual debate town hall with constituents forced the Presidential Debate Committee to cancel the second and likely third debate.
Trump who tested positive for the coronavirus claims he's "cured" of the disease wants to get back to campaigning. He has returned back to name-calling and rehashing his ridiculous conspiracies about Biden, Hillary Clinton and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
In a two hour interview with old fart Rush Limbaugh, Trump rambled on about the election, about Iran and what he's planning on doing to his political enemies.
In the interview, Trump said that "If [Iran] fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that you have never been done before."
Trump's failure to handle the coronavirus put himself in a bind.
Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity are trying to give the impression that Trump is doing well.
Last Friday, it was confirmed that Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and dozens of White House officials and several Republican lawmakers tested positive for the coronavirus. Trump may have had symptoms for more than week. It was revealed that the announcement of Amy Coney Barrett was the superspreader event.
In what is supposed to be a "radio rally," Trump is in desperate need to regain footing. After polls said that Trump down badly, the president is resorting to going back out in public while still fighting the coronavirus.
Now he will do a televised on-camera interview with Fox News tonight. It's going to be very interesting that the host Tucker Carlson and Dr. Marc Siegel don't get infected by the coronavirus.
The White House is facing a major outbreak.
With that being said, we have Trump considering campaigning in Florida, a hotspot for coronavirus cases.
Pretty Ricky member Baby Blue is facing a federal probe.
Rapper and singer of Pretty Ricky under the feds radar.
Ala Diamond Smith aka Baby Blue of Pretty Ricky is facing a federal sandwich. He allegedly schemed over $24 million of COVID-19 relief funds to buy himself a lot of hot wheels.
Smith, one of the founding members of the group Pretty Ricky and a cast member of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami was arrested this week along with a partner who operates a towing company out of Pennsylvania for allegedly stealing $24 million from the CARES Act.
This is one of the largest coronavirus relief scheme. The suspect known also as Diamond Blue is accused of pocketing more than $1 million from the federal loan program for struggling businesses and buying a $96,000 Ferrari with the proceeds.
The 36-year old entertainer and 28-year old Tonye C. Johnson of Pennsylvania were both charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud in the Southern District of Florida.
The complaints, which were unsealed today, allege that Smith and Johnson conspired with others to obtain millions of dollars in fraudulent PPP loans.
Smith, a recording artist, is alleged to have obtained a PPP loan of $426,717 for his company, Throwbackjersey.com LLC, using falsified documents. Upon completion of that loan, Smith then sought and obtained another PPP loan of $708,065 for his other company, Blue Star Records LLC, using falsified documents. Smith allegedly purchased a Ferrari for $96,000 and made other luxury purchases using PPP loan proceeds. Authorities seized the Ferrari at the time of Smith’s arrest. He is also alleged to have withdrawn $271,805 in loan proceeds. The complaint further alleges that Smith sought PPP loans on behalf of others in order to receive kickbacks for those confederates.
Johnson is alleged to have obtained a PPP loan of $389,627 for his own company, Synergy Towing & Transport LLC, using falsified documents. The complaint alleges that Johnson then paid a portion of the loan proceeds to co-conspirators in the scheme.
The complaints allege that Smith and Johnson conspired with others to obtain millions of dollars in fraudulent PPP loans. Early in their scheme, Smith and Johnson’s co-conspirator, Phillip J. Augustin, allegedly obtained a fraudulent PPP loan for his talent management company using falsified documents. After submitting that application, Augustin then began to work with other co-conspirators on a scheme to submit numerous fraudulent PPP loan applications for confederate loan applicants, in order to receive kickbacks for obtaining the forgivable loans for them. The complaints allege that the scheme involved the preparation of at least 90 fraudulent applications, most of which were submitted. Augustin, Smith, Johnson, and other conspirators in the scheme are alleged to have applied for PPP loans that are together worth more than $24 million. Many of those loan applications were approved and funded by financial institutions, paying out at least $17.4 million.
The other 11 defendants allegedly involved in this scheme whose complaints were previously unsealed are the following:
The rapper bought a hot ride.
Joshua J. Bellamy, 31, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was charged in a federal criminal complaint filed on Sept. 9, 2020, in the Southern District of Florida with wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud;

Abdul-Azeem Levy, 22, of Cleveland, Ohio was charged in a federal complaint filed on June 8, 2020, in the Northern District of Ohio with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The CARES Act is a federal law enacted on March 29, 2020, designed to provide emergency financial assistance to the millions of Americans who are suffering the economic effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. One source of relief provided by the CARES Act was the authorization of up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses for job retention and certain other expenses, through the PPP. In April 2020, Congress authorized over $300 billion in additional PPP funding.
The PPP allows qualifying small businesses and other organizations to receive loans with a maturity of two years and an interest rate of one percent. PPP loan proceeds must be used by businesses on payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The PPP allows the interest and principal to be entirely forgiven if the business spends the loan proceeds on these expense items within a designated period of time after receiving the proceeds and uses a certain amount of the PPP loan proceeds on payroll expenses.
A federal criminal complaint is merely an accusation. The suspects innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Smith and Johnson cases were investigated by the IRS-CI Miami and Cincinnati Field Offices, the FBI’s Miami and Cleveland Field Offices, and the SBA-OIG. Trial Attorney Philip Trout of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Aimee Jimenez and David Snider for the Southern District of Florida are prosecuting the cases. The Justice Department also acknowledges and thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, the IRS-CI Philadelphia and Atlanta Field Offices, the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector General for their assistance investigating this matter.
Elliot Broidy, a prominent fundraiser for Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party is served by the feds. He is one of three men announced in federal court by disgraced lawyer and former Trump fixer Michael Cohen.
Broidy is being served by the feds for running an illicit lobbying campaign aimed at getting the Trump administration to drop an investigation into the multibillion-dollar looting of a Malaysian state investment fund.
The U.S. Justice Department has dropped the hammer on the latest Trump affiliate. Broidy is accused of participating in a covert lobbying effort, which sought to arrange for the return of a Chinese dissident living the the U.S.
A consultant, Nicki Lum Davis, pleaded guilty in August for her role in the scheme.
The case was filed this week in federal court in Washington, D.C., with Broidy facing a single conspiracy charge related to his failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people lobbying in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign entity to disclose that work to the Justice Department.
A lawyer for Broidy declined to comment on Thursday. The allegations are contained in a charging document known as an information, which typically signals a defendant’s intent to plead guilty.
Prosecutors allege that Broidy worked with Davis and others to get the Justice Department to abandon its pursuit of billions of dollars that officials say were pilfered from 1MDB, a Malaysian wealth fund that was established more than a decade ago to accelerate the country’s economic development but that prosecutors say was actually treated as a piggy bank by associates of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
As part of the scheme, prosecutors said, Broidy “facilitated and attempted to facilitate meetings and other efforts to influence officials at the highest level of the United States government, including the President and the Attorney General.” During a May 2017 meeting in a Bangkok hotel suite, he agreed to lobby the Trump administration and the attorney general, then Jeff Sessions, for an $8 million retainer fee, according to prosecutors.
The effort was done on behalf of a fugitive Malaysian financier, Jho Low, but was ultimately unsuccessful: The Justice Department in 2018 charged Low, who remains at large, in connection with conspiring to launder billions of dollars from the fund and last year reached a civil settlement to recover more than $700 million in assets that officials said were traceable to the looted fund.
Low has denied wrongdoing and did not admit blame in that settlement. And Broidy did not register with the U.S. government that he was working on behalf of Low.
Broidy has been a top fundraiser for Trump but resigned in 2018 from his role as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee after it was revealed that he paid $1.6 million to a Playboy Playmate with whom he had an extramarital affair.
According to prosecutors, Broidy used his access to the White House to try to arrange a golf meeting between Trump and the Malaysian prime minister, and though that outing did not take place, the leaders did ultimately meet at the White House in September 2017. Broidy himself met with Trump at the White House the following month, and though he did not raise the 1MDB matter with him, he told Davis that he had, court papers say.
Broidy’s work also included a separate unsuccessful lobbying effort — trying to arrange for the removal of a Chinese dissident who was living in the U.S. on a temporary visa. The dissident is not referred to by name by prosecutors, but it matches the description of Guo Wengui.
Guo left China in 2014 during an anti-corruption crackdown led by President Xi Jinping that ensnared people close to Guo, including a top intelligence official. Chinese authorities have accused Guo of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other offenses and have sought the return of the self-exiled tycoon.
Cohen who is serving the remainder of his federal time out in the in-house program, revealed that Trump, Broidy and Sean "Softball" Hannity were his clients. Softball Hannity denies he had been a client of Cohen.
Broidy allegedly paid Cohen to conceal an affair with an ex-Playboy model who impregnated and forced a termination on.
Softball Hannity had allegedly been cheating on his then wife Jill Rhodes. He had numerous affairs with Ainsley Earhardt and Sara A Carter. It was revealed that Softball Hannity had been estranged from his wife for over two years before he formally divorced her.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Darkwing Duck is going to be in a full episode of DuckTales. It's giving speculation that Disney may reboot the 1990s animated series.
Disney's DuckTales is a hit animated series on The Disney Channel and Disney XD.
The series is a reboot of the 1980s animated series that lasted five seasons. It premiered in 2017 and is currently in its third season. It will also give life to another series that is likely coming to a full order.
In the coming days, the show will rollout its backdoor pilot for Darkwing Duck. It will be a very special episode of DuckTales and it will have a few special guest stars.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz and Broadway actor James Monroe Iglehart will guest star in the one-hour Darkwing Duck episode, "Let's Get Dangerous."
Beatriz and Inglehart will voice two characters from the classic animated series.
Beatriz is appointed as Gosalyn Mallard and Inglehart is appointed as Taurus Bulba.
Darkwing Duck will meet his greatest adversary, Taurus Bulba.
The episode will air on October 19.
In the episode, it will give a background into Darkwing Duck. He will find an unlikely sidekick, Gosalyn, as he uncovers a dark conspiracy tied to the Missing Mysteries and one of Scrooge McDuck's employees after stopping a break-in at Scrooge's St. Canard Lab.
"To us, the original Darkwing Duck series was always about a father, a daughter and a Launchpad forming a found family and learning that family can ... get dangerous. We're so honored to get to complete that trio on DuckTales by introducing Gosalyn into the world of DuckTales," executive producer Matt Youngberg and co-executive producer and story editor Francisco Angones exclusively told ET. "Gosalyn is one of the most iconic Disney Afternoon heroes: fun-loving, trouble-making, endlessly driven with a fierce sense of justice And she's the only person who can keep Darkwing's sizable ego in check. So, we are incredibly lucky to have Stephanie Beatriz playing Gosalyn. Stephanie brings so much enthusiasm, heart and spirit to the role, honoring the original series while bringing the character to a new generation. With Stephanie on hand as Gosalyn, St. Canard is a little safer and Darkwing's life isa little fuller."
Welcome to the DuckTales family. Stephanie Beatriz and James Monroe Iglehart join the show as Gosalyn and Taurus Bulba.
"And along with Gosalyn, we had the chance to bring back the larger-than-life adversary who first brought Darkwing and Gosalyn together: Taurus Bulba. If Negaduck was Darkwing's Joker, Bulba was his Lex Luthor. Reinvented as a charming but ruthless businessman with mysterious ties to Gosalyn's family, Bulba holds the key to some of the biggest mysteries the DUck family will face this season," Youngberg and Angones teases. "And James Monroe Iglehart captures the perfect blend of friendliness that can turn into menace on a dime. Also, James' love of the original series may rival our own; he always wore a Darkwing T-shirt to record. It is a testament to James' abilities as an actor that he could love Darkwing Duck so much yet so thoroughly convince you that he wants him dead."
Darkwing Duck (Drake Mallard) will be voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos. Launchpad McQuack will be voice by Beck Bennett. Gizmoduck (Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera) will be voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Darkwing Duck was originally launched in the Fall of 1991. It starred Jim Cummings as Darkwing Duck. The series was on syndication and ABC for three seasons. It has the voices of Terry McGovern as Launchpad and the late Christine Cavanaugh as Goselyn. It lasted through 93 episodes.
Cummings made an appearance on DuckTales as Jim Starling (TV's Darkwing Duck/NegaDuck).

Kiss Michigan goodbye, Mr. Trump!
The feds bust a far-right terrorist plot to kidnap and murder the Democratic governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
In 2016, Trump won the state of Michigan by 3 points. He managed to break into the Blue Wall.
Hillary Clinton failed to reach out to voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Those states went to Trump and all but sealed his victory. The Democrats are making pushes for these states.
With Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, we have seen over 250,000 Americans killed, nearly 9 million infected, over 35 million out of work, civil unrest due to police and gun violence, deadiler weather events like wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes.
Trump and Republicans are not concerned about helping Americans who are losing their jobs, homes and livelihoods due to COVID-19. They're more concerned about getting a Supreme Court nominee confirmed.
We have a name for far-right militias, YTIS.
The far-right and leftists are trying to spark unrest in the country. Leftists are trying to sow discourse by painting Biden as Blue MAGA and are using Russian propaganda to get their point across. The far-right is trying to seize on distractions like the Green New Deal, socialism and spying on Trump as a way to win over voters. Many Americans who refuse to wear face masks in public have cause more havoc than those who wear them.
This is not Joe Biden's America! It's Donald Trump's America.
The FBI announced on Thursday that it had arrested six men in connection with the alleged conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. Seven other men were arrested on terror-related charges at the state level.
The suspects were allegedly plotting to grab Whitmer from her vacation home in northern Michigan before the U.S. presidential election.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says the seven terror suspects were linked to a militia group called the Wolverine Watchmen.
The seven suspects allegedly tried to identify police officers’ homes in order to “target” and “threaten” them to “instigate a civil war,” Nessel said. They also allegedly planned to attack the Michigan Capitol building and kidnap the governor.
Paul Bellar, 21, Shawn Fix, 38, Eric Molitor, 36, Michael Null, 38, William Null, 38, Pete Musico, 42, and Joseph Morrison, 42, were charged with terror-related acts under Michigan law.
The six men arrested by the FBI had planned to meet Wednesday to “make a payment on explosives and exchange tactical gear,” according to an affidavit filed in federal court.
Ty Garbin, Adam Fox, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta, all of Michigan, have been named in the FBI affidavit. Barry Croft of Delaware was also identified. The suspects’ ages and photos were not immediately available.
The FBI first caught onto the alleged plot through social media posts in early 2020, according to the affidavit. They used confidential sources and undercover agents to follow along as the militia group allegedly plotted to overthrow several state governments that they believe are “violating the U.S. Constitution.”
YTIS tries to liberate Michigan.
Fox and Croft allegedly met with 13 others in Dublin, Ohio, on June 6 to hatch the plan, according to the affidavit. They discussed creating a self-sufficient society based on the U.S. Bill of Rights, and talked about “murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor,” the FBI said. They ultimately decided to boost their numbers by recruiting neighbours and reaching out to militia groups, including one based in Michigan.
The group had also discussed storming the Michigan Capitol and using Molotov cocktails against police, according to the affidavit. They eventually dismissed that idea and focused their attention on kidnapping Whitmer, according to the FBI.
Whitmer, a Democrat, has been fiercely criticized by conservative groups since the coronavirus pandemic began. She had imposed some of the strictest lockdown measures in the United States during the early days of the pandemic, though most of those measures have since been lifted.
Armed protesters marched on the state capitol in April and May to protest the lockdowns, while others stood outside with signs comparing her to Adolf Hitler.
Trump also attacked Whitmer on Twitter during the unrest, calling her “Half” Whitmer and urging her to heed the armed protesters’ demands.
Federal officials have repeatedly warned in recent months that far-right militias and white supremacist extremists pose the greatest terror threat to the U.S.
Nevertheless, President Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that Antifa, a loose ideological movement with no organization, is the real threat. Last week, for example, he refused to condemn white supremacy after he was specifically asked to do so during the first presidential debate. Instead, Trump told the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, to “stand back and stand by.”
“But I’ll tell you what: Somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem,” he said.
White supremacist extremists are the “most persistent and lethal threat” to security in the United States, according to a Department of Homeland Security assessment released earlier this week.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They all could face up to 40 years in federal time out. In the state of Michigan they could face LIFE in the iron college.
Trump may not participate in the final debates. He still has coronavirus. Trump feels like he's good to campaign.

With the president having the coronavirus, the Presidential Debate Commission has formally decided to have the final debates held virtually. Trump called into Fox Business to talk to far-right agitator Maria Bartiromo to say he's done doing debates.
After months of saying that Joe Biden is "hiding in his basement," Trump has said he will not participate in the second presidential debate scheduled for October 15. For months, Trump called Biden, "Sleepy Joe" and said he should be "drug tested" because he performed well against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Trump's performance at the first debate was bad. He kept interrupting Biden and moderator Chris Wallace. His family refused to wear masks at the debate. He constantly changed the subject and attacked Biden's family personally. Biden refrained from attacking Trump's family and did get a meme trending: "Will you shut up man....this is so unpresidential."
Biden confirms he will participate in the final debates regardless of the changes. He said that's on Trump if he wants to participate in the debate or not. He will have the platform whereas Trump will miss an opportunity to reach out to millions of voters who may want him to fight Biden by any means necessary.
Trump who tested positive for the coronavirus last week now faces an onslaught of criticism for saying that the disease "isn't a big deal" and folks "should be afraid" of this.
We have over 250,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus. We have nearly 9 million people infected by this. Many Americans refuse to wear masks in public and have clashed with people who wear them.
The comments roiled an already contentious debate process and set off a back-and-forth between the Biden and Trump campaigns. Biden's spokeswoman swiftly said that they would have agreed to a virtual format for next Thursday's contest, but because the President had seemingly bailed, they urged the commission to make the debate scheduled on October 22 a town hall debate format.
Hours later, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said they would be willing to push the October 15 debate back a week and then move the third debate to October 29, just days before the November 3 election.
But Biden's campaign rejected their proposal, with campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield saying in response, "Donald Trump doesn't make the debate schedule; the Debate Commission does."
"Trump's erratic behavior does not allow him to rewrite the calendar, and pick new dates of his choosing. We look forward to participating in the final debate, scheduled for October 22, which already is tied for the latest debate date in 40 years. Donald Trump can show up, or he can decline again. That's his choice," Bedingfield said.
The move by the commission to make the next scheduled debate virtual was seen as needed by members of the debate commission given the uncertainty around the president's health.
Politically, if Trump skips a debate, he'll be deprived of a platform that he needs at a time when his campaign is trailing in every national poll and in a number of key swing states. The first event was watched by more than 73 million people.
Frank Fahrenkopf, head of the debate commission, told CNN that the commission spoke with both campaigns "just before" they announced that the second debate would be held virtually.
"We did not consult with them," he said, adding that their decision is "supported by the Cleveland Clinic," the commission's health advisers.
Biden will show up for the final debates and agrees with the rule changes by the debate committee.
The Biden campaign spokeswoman Bedingfield responded to Trump's refusal to participate by noting Biden would be happy to appear virtually, but said if the President declines to appear, the former vice president will hold a town hall elsewhere.
Bedingfield also asked the commission to push what would have been a town hall style debate -- where actual voters ask questions -- to October 22 so that "the President is not able to evade accountability."
"The voters should have a chance to ask questions of both candidates, directly," she said.
Trump complained during the interview with Fox that a virtual debate would mean he would have to "sit behind a computer" in a virtual debate and the moderator could "cut you off whenever they want." But a virtual debate is not unprecedented -- the third contest between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960 occurred with both candidates in different locations.
Stepien, Trump's campaign manager, accused the commission on Thursday of "unilaterally canceling an in-person debate" to help Biden and said the President will be holding a rally instead of attending the debate.
Fahrenkopf noted that it was fully within the President's right to decline to debate.

"There is no law requiring any presidential candidate to debate. In fact, in 1980, Jimmy Carter, president of the United States, refused to participate in the first debate, but he did participate in the second debate," said Fahrenkopf. "So it is up to every candidate to decide whether they want to debate or not."
The commission met on Wednesday to discuss the change. The group, made up of three co-chairs and 10 board members, voted unanimously to make the change, two members of the commission tell CNN. One member was absent and did not vote.
Thursday's announcement by the commission came hours after Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris debated in person on Wednesday night, albeit separated by plexiglass.

Vice President Mike Pence performance on Wednesday was poor to say at least. The only thing memorable about Pence was the fly that landed on his head and it stood there for more than two minutes.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was the clear winner at the only debate the two held on Wednesday.
She held her ground through the debate. Proven to be a formidable debater, Harris kept reminding Pence that he was interrupting her and letting him know that "he ain't Black."
Like Chris Wallace, Susan Page had lost control of the debate. Pence kept interrupting and overtalking.
The looks on her face were priceless. You see the true definition of a Black woman.
The debate did cover more topics but it still had fireworks.
Harris called Trump's handling of the pandemic the biggest cover up in the history of the country.
Pence said that if Biden and the Democrats win the U.S. elections, they will pack the courts with two more judicial nominees and extend the Supreme Court to 11 justices.
The two were in Salt Lake City, Utah for the Vice Presidential Debate being held at the University of Utah. The moderator Susan Page of USA Today did not keep control of the debate. She had to clearly remind the two that they went past their time speaking. But it was Pence doing most of the talking and interrupting.
The two offered no direct answers on whether they'd discussed the transfer of power with the tops of their tickets -- two men who are vying to be the oldest person ever elected president, in the middle of a pandemic.
Pence, the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force didn't want the plexiglass shield around him and openly mocked Harris for requesting it. He participated in the formal announcement of Amy Coney Barrett. The event may have sparked the outbreak of the coronavirus at the White House.
Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and dozens of White House officials as well as many U.S. lawmakers tested positive for the coronavirus.
Pence also claimed that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spied on the Trump campaign. It's known that Trump and some of his 2016 campaign officials coordinated with Russian operatives to help spread rumors about Clinton. The Russian government had meddled in the election and they are right now doing it.
Kamala Harris looks on as Pence shits on himself.
Harris shot back saying that Trump's secret meetings with Russian president Vladimir Putin failed to mention the bounties on American soldiers heads. Harris said that Trump ignores the U.S. intelligence saying that Russia is currently involved in the Q'Anon and stroking resentment.
Harris said that Trump's refusal to value the election results if he loses and denying the peaceful transfer of power is concerning.
Pence said that Biden is China's preferred candidate. He said that Biden will be bowing to Chinese influence. Harris said that the Chinese government is moving away from U.S. when it comes to trade.
The trade war between the U.S. and China has cost jobs. She said that manufacturing jobs were lost due to Trump's trade war with China.
Pence said that the USCMA (United States-Canada-Mexico) Agreement or NAFTA II is a success.
Canada has temporarily banned American travelers from 40 states and three territories. The country has not completely closed its borders but its taking stricter actions to prevent spread.
Pence kept on railing about how Joe Biden is going to raise taxes, continue bothersome regulations and why he and Harris support Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) Green New Deal proposal.
The trick was to make Biden and Harris too toxic for the left to vote for them and too radical for the voters in the country.
Kamala Harris takes on a stale piece of white bread with a fly on it.
Pence even had the nerve to call Biden a plagiarist.
Biden did not win on Harris' plans. He did not win on Ocasio-Cortez's plans. He did not win on Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) plans. He did not win Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) plans.
Biden won on his own platform and he has the right to run on the platform he wants and not what his rivals want. This tactic is a Russian Active Measure.
Conservatives and leftists have tried to discourage support for Biden because of divisive topics like the Green New Deal. Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive lawmaker from Queens won her seat in a fairly progressive district. She supported Sanders in the nomination bid. The far-right has often tried to tag her and Sanders to Biden who wants to win on a pragmatic approach.
Biden who has been attacked from the left and the far-right has ignored the noise. Much to my disgust, he doesn't want to go into the gutter and take them out. He wants to make sure that the noise destroy themselves.
I will say at the end of the debate, it's was no contest. Pence didn't offer much other than the usual "fearmongering tactics." Even rules were violated by the Trump camapign.
Second Lady Karen Pence took off her mask and gave her husband a kiss while Doug Emhoff kept his mask on and gave his wife a hug.
The second presidential debate is going to happen. Trump and Biden will debate one another on October 15.
Shit and giggles. Stephen Miller got the coronavirus.

The white nationalist who serves as a senior advisor to President Donald J. Trump is tested positive for the coronavirus. Only a month ago, this white nationalist's pregnant wife was tested positive for disease.
Stephen Miller, the 35-year old white nationalist joins the many members of White House members affected by the COVID-19.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both tested positive for the coronavirus.
It has rattled the country and placed the United States at a point of uncertainty.
"Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday. Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine," Miller said in a statement.
Miller also traveled abroad Air Force One on a Minnesota campaign trip with Trump and White House Communication Director Hope HIcks. When Hicks tested positive for the coronavirus, Trump delayed the testing. He and many others went to the Trump Bedminster Golf Resort in New Jersey for a fundraiser.

Kate Miller (nee Waldman), 30 had the coronavirus earlier this year. She was tested negative when she was with Vice President Mike Pence as he was preparing for the debate with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). Miller was pulled from the event under the abundance of caution.
Trump still with the coronavirus wants to debate former vice president Joe Biden.
Trump made the offensive remarks about how "he can beat the virus" and you should not "be afraid" of COVID-19.
The president, First Lady Melania Trump, White House Communication Director Hope Hicks, Republican National Committee chairwoman Rona Romney McDaniel, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, White House personal assistant Nick Luna, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, White House Deputy Press Secretary Chad Gilmartin, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Kellyanne Conway and Chris Christie.
It has became a national security issue.
The president not being honest about his condition has place a whole lot of uncertainty in the country.
The next few days will determine if Trump is improving with treatment. Because the mixed messages is frustrating. He can't even be honest about the treatment. His constant lying won't be necessary when he dies in office or be too incapacitated to continue duties.
His bragging about having the best healthcare and doctors treating him kind of makes him an elitist.
Most Americans can't even afford to pay an emergency room bill. Trust me, I have a $4,000 bill for a three hour visit. This coronavirus has exposed a lot of issues in the country. Income inequality and access to affordable health care is now an issue.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this. There are companies working on producing a vaccine. They will produce a vaccine that is safe and effective before usage. See 19.
18. Some hand sanitizers are considered dangerous to your health. Methanol-based hand sanitizer could be toxic to those with weaken immune systems or allergies. The Food and Drug Administration have warned of methanol contamination. Some products made in Mexico and China may be dangerous. There are some people ingesting hand sanitizer. See 19.
19. Please do not ingest or inject sanitizer, bleach or hydroxychloroquine into your body. There is no cure for the coronavirus. Scientists are working on creating a safe vaccine to treat the coronavirus.
20. Hold your state and federal lawmakers accountable for not taking the threat seriously. Donald J. Trump deliberately ignored the threat. In a series of audiotapes produced by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, Trump was warned about the threat from the jump. He downplayed it because he didn't want to lose the trade deal and force Americans to take precautions. Now six months since declaring the pandemic we have over 225,000 dead and over 7.6 million infected. Republican lawmakers are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and end the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act because of their stupid principles. It's important that you get go out and vote.
21. THE MASK DOESN'T IMPALE BREATHING! YOU CAN FUCKING BREATHE THROUGH A MASK! THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A MASK BEING A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOSE WEARING THEM PROPERLY. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE MASK ABOVE YOUR NOSE AND COVER COMPLETELY YOUR CHIN. 22. YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID! MISINFORMATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO A PANDEMIC. It will be a major catastrophe if Trump dies in office. Close to the election and this nonsense.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
