It is with a sad, yet hopeful heart that I call the end of Diary of Daedalus. There is no need to carry on. The idiot boy is a failure and simply a small turd in the bowl of life. A turd is in fact high praise for the groovy pony-tail. His minions float lower in the bowl, by choice.
What to do with DoD and all that data…So, after consults with a bunch of peeps, I went on the deck pondered the river in front of me while having an Arturo Fuente Lost City Opus X and a heavy neat Don Julio 1942. Both of these are worth more money than the entire basement dwellers of LGF can put together in a year. I suppose that it is time to move on. Move on indeed. Daedalus did tell Icarus not to fly to close to the sun. The jazzy pony-tail didn’t listen and blew it. Now he has, well…I’m not sure. The website is a wreck. I just looked at it after being kicked of the reservation way back in 200x? Jazzy didn’t have the moves or the looks to pick up on Pam back in the day either.
We will now welcome abusive tirades against the jazzy ponytail and his sadly moronic followers who still can’t come up with a way to cook a side of salmon, or be able to put a noun and verb together.
The DoD database and the comments are secured. The brilliant work of the unnamed genius few remains.

The love and praise for the great Little Richard continues to pour in, with practically every rock singer and performer talking about how he changed the game. I remember seeing him on TV in the mid-60âs, and being far more excited by his next-level showmanship than I was by other acts I was seeing and hearing for the first time. I still have a cassette tape somewhere with his greatest hits on one side, and Jerry Lee Lewisâs on the other. Some of them are the same songs â Richard did them much better, and the Killer was no slouch himself.

By the way, I’m becoming increasingly apprehensive concerning that fact that Judge Sullivan hasn’t simply dismissed the charges. There is nothing significant to a defendant withdrawing his guilty plea – happens all the time.
I’m hoping against hope that Sullivan isn’t worried about media attacks for doing so. Because if he cares more about his feelings than the actual administration of justice, he needs to be removed from the bench. IMMEDIATELY.

It’s HR 6666, proposed by Bobby Rush.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6666/text?r=2&s=1
If you read thru it, at first it seems very benign, more of just another opportunity for graft, giving money to people to carry out a service for the gov’t.
But the services…
Bobby Rush’s coronavirus TRACE Act is a shocking threat to personal freedom
The bill is titled “H.R. 6666 â COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone,” or the TRACE Act. It aims to provide $100 billion in funding for the Health and Human Service Department for the purpose of “diagnostic testing for COVIDâ19, to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts …”
The bill also says that it will provide, “as necessary, testing [for] individuals and … services related to testing and quarantine at their residences.”
There isn’t much else to it, as of now, but the intention is clear, and that’s to force every single person in the United States into a system that allows the government to monitor the physical contacts between every group and individual. Should anyone be determined to have been infected or come into contact with an infected person, the bill threatens to have them quarantined by force.
Nothing to be alarmed about by that, though â those are just “services!”
The kicker is in the intro of the bill.
To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVIDâ19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individualsâ residences, and for other purposes.

Just today, the Supreme Court distributed thirteen* different qualified immunity cert petitions for its conference of May 15, 2020. This is obviously no coincidence, and it means that by the morning of Monday, May 18th, we will finally know whether the Justices are prepared to confront one of the most pernicious and legally baseless doctrines in the history of the Court.
I would love it if qualified immunity got completely trashed, but I’m betting if the court hears it, they’ll reconfirm it w/Roberts on the wrong side

@ eaglesoars:
I think you may be right. Of course, some of these cert petitions will be hard to ignore, since it involves blatant misconduct. It might be that they will make a narrow ruling based on the more egregious of the violators. But I’m with you – I’m fearing that Roberts will prove a coward once more.
I’m still hoping for a suit on Sullivan. And here’s another thing that I would like to have resolved once and for all. That of the press being able to reveal their sources. And it may be that this will come hand in hand. I would love to see someone classified a public figure sue a news outlet for slander/libel based on the information from an “anonymous source.” I’m in favor of anonymous sources for whistleblowing purposes, but even Woodward and Bernstein confirmed with two to three independent sources every allegation they published.

Gavin and a few other governors are demanding $1 trillion to bail them out because they won’t be able to provide “necessary services.” The problem for Gavin is there will be a limit. Especially since he’s governor of a “sanctuary state.”
Come the November election, Gavin and the Dems will have their Repeal Prop 13 proposition on the ballot, raising property taxes to 3%, claiming that failure to pass will result in severely reduced police and fire services. OH NO!! Voters must pass 51% and you can be sure with vote by mail, the 51% will be reached (along with keeping those red seats that flipped blue with vote harvesting in Democrat hands). In the very fine print of this proposition will be authorization for each county assessor to REVALUE the property in question. Someone paying $1500 in property taxes now may very well find themselves paying in excess of $7000 in property taxes in 2022 (property tax bills for the next year go out in November in my county, so it will be too late to ding me for 2021). Couple that with our high income and sales taxes and a LOT of people will be losing their homes due to failure to pay property tax (which is why we passed Prop 13 in the first place).
Honest to GOD, I just can’t with these assholes in the media.
Apparently, because I haven’t seen the video, a reporter of Asian extraction asked Trump (AGAIN) about the number of COVID deaths and he told her she should ask that question to CHINA!

A six-year-old girl in Detroit died a couple of weeks ago, and was mourned all over the local media as âthe youngest victim in Michigan of the Covid-19 pandemic.â Then it came out that she actually went to the hospital with symptoms of meningitis, and indeed died of meningitis. She tested positive for the âRona after she had been in the hospital for a few days. Therefore, the story became that she had died from âa very rare complication of coronavirus, turning into meningitis.â Tragic as the whole story is, Iâm calling bullshit. Itâs already been well-established that people dying of all manner of ailments are being counted as Covid deaths, as long as they test positive for the virus. That includes people dying of old age, heart disease, COPD, in various stages of cancer treatment, and other fun things.
25% is a conservative estimate of the overstatement, imho.
Oh, jeez. It looks like Canada is going to let China test a vaccine on Canada’s military.
Canadian researchers are joining the effort to develop a Chinese vaccine against the deadly coronavirus, with plans to begin human trials in Canada of a potential defence against COVID-19 that employs genetic technology from the National Research Council.
The trials will bring to Canadian soil Ad5-nCoV, a vaccine candidate under joint development by a Chinese company and the countryâs military. Backed by a state that has urgently sought a vaccine of global importance, Ad5-nCoV has been among the most rapidly developed of numerous candidates around the world.
Now the NRC has struck an agreement to support its development in Canada by manufacturing doses that can be administered in human tests and for emergency pandemic use.
âWe are going to get to evaluate it for safety and efficacy in Canada, as is being done already in China, and Canada will now be part of the front-runner story,â said Roman Szumski, vice-president of life sciences for the NRC.

if it could, there would be a massive death toll from meningitis.

@ coldwarrior:
viral meningitis will kill you stone dead, or you recover in 7-10 days
bacterial meningitis is treated with antibiotics and it can kill you fast
Viruses that cause meningitis include enteroviruses, herpes simplex virus (generally type 2, which produces most genital sores; less commonly type 1), varicella zoster virus (known for causing chickenpox and shingles), mumps virus, HIV, LCMV[20], Arboviruses (acquired from a mosquito or other insect), and the Influenza virus.[27] Mollaret’s meningitis is a chronic recurrent form of herpes meningitis; it is thought to be caused by herpes simplex virus type 2.[28]

@ coldwarrior:
do note that coronivirus is not on the list, if it were, the common cold would be a cause of meningitis and we would be screwed.

Manually Embed a YouTube Video or Playlist (For gallery directions, go here Âť)
For videos: Method 1 – Do you already have a URL to the video you want to embed in a post, page, or even a widget? All you have to do is paste it on its own line, as shown below (including the https:// part). Easy, eh?
Method 2 – If you want to do some formatting (e.g. add HTML to center a video) or have two or more videos next to each other on the same line, wrap each link with the [embedyt]…[/embedyt] shortcode. Tip for embedding videos on the same line: As shown in the example image below, decrease the size of each video so that they fit together on the same line (See the “How To Override Defaults” section for height and width instructions).
Make sure the URL is really on its own line by itself. Or, if you need multiple videos on the same line, make sure each URL is wrapped properly with the shortcode (Example: [embedyt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABCDEFGHIJK&width=400&height=250[/embedyt])

Los Angeles County last week loosened some stay-at-home rules, reopening some trails and allowing some retail stores to begin curbside services with social distancing. But Ferrer warned Tuesday that further loosening of the rules will be slow.

So, that means that if you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death.”

The doctor in Rand Paul took over for the questioning began by challenging Dr. Fauci on the media narrative that there is no evidence that patients who survive coronavirus have immunity.
Paul then stated that his view is that the truth is the exact opposite of the media narrative. There is very good evidence that recovered patients will have some durable immunity.
Dr. Fauci responded that it is indeed likely. Then he added the standard disclaimers that we wonât know for sure and for how long for years. He did concede you could make a reasonable assumption that recovered patients have some immunity.

This is Salena Zito on Beaver County Pennsylvania
Of the 479 COVID-19 cases to date in Beaver County, 319 of them are in Brighton Rehab; of the 78 who died in the entire county, all but seven came from Brighton Rehab.
.
.
Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier said his office will not prosecute business owners who open their doors on the same day that Wolf became the first governor in the United States to link the allocation of money to those who follow his stay-at-home orders.
This county isnât the only one to state it will defy Wolf; Bucks, Schuylkill, Lancaster, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, Huntingdon, and Cumberland counties have all indicated some sort of defiance against his orders. And even his home county of York has hinted of a possible rebellion.
Cost sighs at the arrogance and mismanagement of the whole thing: âI find it really ironic that a governor with a Ph.D. in political science has so little understanding of how politics actually works in his own state.

I could be very wrong, but I don’t see this as a good thing. Sullivan is literally making up new Rules of Criminal Procedure. Amicus briefs are permitted in CIVIL actions, not criminal ones. Sullivan even says so in his Minute Order. Public comment? Is he serious?
I’d be interested in Sidney Powell’s take on this. I tweeted on her timeline. But I’ll bet Mark Levin will be screaming about it.

I have no doubt that someone is holding something over Sullivan’s head. I’ve felt the same about Roberts after the ACA ruling. Sullivan was the one who dismissed the Ted Stevens case and castigated the prosecutors from the bench. Now he’s acting like a weenie with no balls. It would not surprise me in the least if someone is leaning on him.
And that would be a felony.
