State employees, others who are partially unemployed in Michigan, can still collect extra $600 per week from feds - mlive.com
"Gov. Gretchen Whitmer calls it “employment insurance."
Michigan’s Work Share program allows workers, who have seen their hours reduced (by one day or less!) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, be compensated for their losses through state and federal unemployment benefits.
Until the end of July 2020, that means workers who have had their hours/pay reduced are eligible for weekly payments of $600 from the federal government, on top of their employer compensation and a percentage of state unemployment benefits...

Ballot harvesting bounty: How Dems apparently used election law change to rout California Republicans | Fox News
"A minor change in California’s election laws may have had a major effect on last month’s midterm elections that saw Democrats steamroll their Republican rivals and claim all but seven of the Golden State’s 53 House seats.
Despite holding substantial leads on Election Day, many Republican candidates in California saw their advantage shrink, and then disappear, as late-arriving Democratic votes were counted in the weeks following the election.
...In Orange County – once seen as a Republican stronghold in the state– every House seat went to a Democrat after an unprecedented “250,000” vote-by-mail drop-offs were counted, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
“People were carrying in stacks of 100 and 200 of them. We had had multiple people calling to ask if these people were allowed to do this,” Kelley said...

- If you do not have any respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, you do not need to wear a medical mask.
- When used alone, masks can give you a false feeling of protection and can even be a source of infection when not used correctly.
- If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.

"Facebook has a massive set of content guidelines that are so broad and extensive they could ban almost any content," Dan Gainor, VP of Business and Culture Media Research Center, told Fox News. "In addition, Facebook just announced a new Oversight Board that will handle content appeals. That board is overwhelmingly international and lacks American support for First Amendment ideals."
Nonetheless, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has sought to distance his platform from the President's Twitter feud, insisting in an interview on Fox News this week that his company has "a different policy than Twitter," and that they are "stronger on free expression" than other tech giants.

I was accosted by a mask(ed) Nazi | the Aspen beat
"Was she a mask Nazi, or a masked Nazi?
She was both.
Here’s the story.
I was hiking alone in the Colorado Rockies.
I encountered a woman rounding a bend in the trail who muttered something to me as we passed one another.
I said, “Excuse me?”
She unloaded on me with a tirade of unprintable curses and uncompromising demands that I wear a mask, like hers.
So worked up was she that the microdroplets expectorated straight through her mask at approximately 3,400 mph.
Colorado still does not require masks for solitary activities like showering (I sincerely hope not to encounter her there) and hiking alone in the woods.
Apparently, she personally has a different rule and she insists that everyone else follow it...

NYC Outlaws Use of 'Alien,' 'Illegal Immigrant'; Must Use Term 'Noncitizen'
NYC Outlaws Use of 'Alien,' 'Illegal Immigrant'; Must Use Term 'Noncitizen':
The New York City Council announced on Thursday that it will no longer allow the “dehumanizing” and “offensive term” “alien” or “illegal immigrant” to describe individuals in the conduction of official city business.
The city will now use “noncitizen” to describe everyone who is not a citizen, blurring the distinction between a green card holder, a refugee, a temporary guest worker, a tourist, and an illegal alien.

The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is warning that New York’s controversial Green Light Law is putting lives in danger by limiting law enforcement cooperation -- especially after the measure was amended to make sharing information with ICE a felony.
“Somehow the state of New York took a bad law, doubled down and made it worse by now criminalizing essential information sharing that is critical to effective law enforcement,” Acting ICE Director Matt Albence told Fox News in an interview.

There are no coincidences, especially in the Age of Trump, but how can the rioting be stopped?
Here are some actions that need to be taken:
- Arrest all violent protesters breaking the law (looting, destroying private property, setting fires, interfering with public safety, etc.).
- Interrogate the rank-and-file protesters to learn the names of the organizers and organizing groups...

Here's why 'Obamagate' scandals matter - WND:
Amid the flurry of details about spying on Michael Flynn, lying to secret courts about Carter Page, leaking classified documents, and more, it’s easy to get lost in the muck. It’s important to stand back, identify the worst abuses, and explain why they matter for American democracy. These abuses didn’t simply follow each other; their targets, goals, and principal players overlapped. Taken together, they represent some of the gravest violations of constitutional norms and legal protections in American history. Whether you are Democrat or Republican, whether you like Donald Trump or loathe him, these violations matter.
