I went ahead and pushed my Road Scholar redwoods hiking trip to mid-July. That means I will not be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. It probably will be pushed back as well.

So men cheating in women's sports is seen by the idiots of the ACLU and others as a "constitutional right"? Give me a fucking break. Good for Idaho to stand up for women's rights, the dishonest headline to the contrary of this report.

Now these con artists called "evangelists" are willing to recklessly endanger lives, thus putting themselves in legal jeopardy, in a cynical attempt to pervert the Bill of Rights:

According to Dr. Fauci, as many as 100,000 could die in the U.S. if we don't take lockdown seriously enough.

Prepare for a couple of rough weeks ahead.
The top government scientists battling the coronavirus estimated Tuesday that the deadly pathogen could kill between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans, in spite of the disruptive social distancing measures that have closed schools, banned large gatherings, limited travel and forced people to stay in their homes.
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, and Dr. Deborah L. Birx, who is coordinating the coronavirus response, displayed that grim projection at the White House on Tuesday, calling it “our real number” but pledging to do everything possible to reduce those numbers even further.

Obituary: Noted children's author and illustrator Tomie dePaola, 85, has died.
The Irish-Italian dePaola found inspiration for his work in his heritage and in things that happened to him in his life. His 1975 classic, “Strega Nona,” told the story of a friendly Italian witch and her bumbling helper, who accidentally used a magical pasta pot to flood the town with pasta. DiPaola revisited Strega Nona – meaning “Grandma Witch” – in nine other books in the series. He retold folk tales and fables including the Irish “Fin M’Coul,” the Aesop-inspired “The Wind and the Sun,” and “Adelita: A Mexican Cinderella Story.” He created picture books for young readers, board books for the youngest, and chapter books for readers advancing past his picture books. Among dePaola’s chapter books was the Newbery Honor-winning “26 Fairmount Avenue,” a memoir of a time when his family moved to a new home. Throughout the more than 260 books dePaola created was his simple, charming drawing style, relying on uncomplicated line drawings that were colored using a variety of materials. DiPaola was honored with the Children’s Literature Legacy Award in 2011 for his lifetime of creating books for young readers._____
Good news for women in those states.
