“…masked guards with the royal court on Friday arrested [78 year old] Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, a younger brother of [84 year old] King Salman, and Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the king’s nephew and a former crown prince [and “a former army head of intelligence”]. The guards also detained a brother of Mohammed bin Nayef.”
“…on Saturday … the sweep broadened to include dozens of interior ministry officials, senior army officers and others suspected of supporting a coup attempt.”
This article goes on to outline the background of MBS consolidating power over the last few years.
“President Donald Trump persisted Monday in making false assurances about U.S. preparedness for the coronavirus outbreak and the prospects for a quick vaccine, or even cure.”
TRUMP: The U.S. may have a vaccine “relatively soon” and “something that makes you feel better … sooner.” — rally.
THE FACTS: That’s misleading…
TRUMP: The U.S. is “ranked by far No. 1 in the world for preparedness” — rally.
THE FACTS: Not “by far.”

A potential bigly problem
And just like that, science is back in vogue… Imagine being told ‘the doctor will see you now’ and having a heavily sniffing guy with thick orange and white makeup walk in with a weird expression and a bunch of conflicting data to tell you you’re gonna be fine. Would you feel better? Well, the pandemic of lies may have finally caught up with the administration because Americans and leaders around the world don’t feel better. And the stock market sure as hell doesn’t. You may be able to fool half the country, but you can’t fool a virus. Luckily, people know by now that presidential press conferences don’t pass the ‘adult in the room’ sniff test, and the rest of the world is getting ready for what looks like a potential bigly problem.

“One interesting consequence of ChilledCow’s termination is the creation of an enormously long YouTube video. As we mentioned above, prior to termination, ChilledCow had been streaming nonstop for one and a half years. Though the channel is back and the lofi studying stream is online again, it isn’t the same stream. ChilledCow’s temporary termination took the livestream offline and preserved it as a regular upload–one that’s 13,165 hours long.”

Bathroom renovation
Bathroom renovation project almost complete. Kayla and I have been working on this for a few weeks.
Weekend 1 was demolition, we removed the vanity, the toilet, the vinyl floor, and the plywood subfloor.
Weekend 2 was the floor, we put down cement board and tiled. One night this week @kaylalabonte grouted the tiles.
Weekend 3 (this weekend) was plumbing, we installed the new toilet and the new vanity.
Just need to finish the baseboard moulding.

“2018 saw the fourth straight year of growth in the number of hate groups in the US … The 30 percent increase coincides with Trump’s campaign and presidency. It comes on the heels of three consecutive years of decline near the end of former President Obama’s time in office.”
