From our friend Kary, a Texan who now lives on the coast of Spain and who thinks I’m an idiot for not getting in my brother’s bass boat and heading over there right now.
He’s got a point.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Don’t believe anything that the president says’: Wife speaks out after husband dies trying to take drug Trump touted
Edit: In a phone interview with NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard, the woman — still in the ICU — expressed her deep regrets and sadness. She said they were scared of contracting the virus, and they took the chloroquine phosphate to keep themselves safe.
“Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure,” she said.
“What would be your message to the American public?” asked Hillyard.
“Oh my God,” she said. “Don’t take anything. Don’t believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the President says and his people… ’cause they don’t know what they’re talking about. And don’t take anything, be so careful. And call your doctor.”

1I’m sorry that it took her husband dying for her to wise up. I hope that others who tend to believe every word out of Trump’s mouth will pay attention to her.
2When John Bel Edwards ordered the statewide stay at home order, he said Louisiana had the fastest growth rate for Covid 19 of any state in the union. I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I know someone who lives in Baton Rouge. And apparently they opened several testing stations about a week ago, and they had to close them quickly because they ran out of tests. I think it’s gonna come out that they just identified the spread sooner. Because they took action sooner. Of course Bel Edwards is a Democrat. Funny how that works.

#NotDying4WallStreet Goes Viral as Progressives Reject Efforts to Put Corporate Profits Over Public Health
“We will not die for oligarchs’ quarterly profit margin.”
Edit: As President Donald Trump and business elites suggest the U.S. public should go back to work in the midst of the worsening coronavirus pandemic, the Twitter hashtag #NotDying4WallStreet went viral late Monday as progressives made clear they are not willing to jeopardize their own or their community’s health to protect corporate profits.
“If we have to rent strike, general strike, whatever has to happen, we will not die for oligarchs’ quarterly profit margin,” tweeted progressive radio host Benjamin Dixon. “This system crashes without our participation. But they cannot force us to participate at the expense of our lives.” Benjamin Dixon.

I think this needs to be expressly said:
– Do NOT follow the instructions of the government.
– Do NOT return to work even if you don’t feel
sick.
– Do NOT end social distancing even if you can’t stand it anymore.
– Do NOT die on behalf of capitalism.
– F-That. F-Them. Kiss our ass

I live on the edge of Tanglewood – I’ll have to start ringing doorbells in my walk this afternoon!!!
5Another result of Trump’s misinformation is an apparent shortage of Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for people who really need it.
My nephew, the rocket scientist, has Lupus and is unable to renew his prescription for Plaquenil because the pharmacy can’t find any. He works for the feds in some kind of security position that he can’t even tell his mom about.
Maybe it is produced in China or something but it may also be the case that irresponsible physicians are prescribing it for people who don’t need it. I sure hope that’s not the case.
We’re worried about him.

7Good wishes for your nephew, and everybody else affected by the destruction of our society by the moral bankruptcy of the repugnantcan party.
Hear! Hear! And thanks, P.P.
