Ben Carson says people are manipulating race to divide Americans
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson said in an interview Thursday evening that race issues are being used to manipulate Americans.
"And you combine that with the fact that, because of our history, which is imperfect – you know slavery and Jim Crow and all of these things that have happened – it's relatively easy to convince some people, no matter how good their life is, that they're victims," Carson said. "And that somebody else has created that problem. And, at the same time, you take another segment of society – white people – and you convince them that they're guilty. They may be the nicest people in the world … but, because of the color of your skin, you are guilty and you owe. And it's a bad combination – guilt and victimhood – and it creates incredibly bad policies."
LOL.

covid stats, humor, sarcasm
Stay afraid. (Fear is the mind killer, and politicians of all kinds appreciate that.) Also, perhaps have a sense of humor.
Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.
On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.

Michelle Obama: Children Are ‘Torn From Their Families And Thrown Into Cages.’ Her Husband Built The Cages.
Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed on Monday night that the Trump administration was taking children from their families and throwing them into cages but failed to mention that her husband, former President Barack Obama, was the one who built them......
photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack #Obama...
Experts hope the collective brainpower housed in these technology meccas might be harnessed to solve the crisis. Sources predict these geniuses will one day provide Californians with enough reliable power to toast some bread while their neighbor runs the vacuum cleaner.
