State Representative Randy Fine (who is in the hospital due to complications / concerns with COVID-19) posted this little gem:
In other words, after botching this entire mess and the “exchange to nowhere,” costing the taxpayers millions of dollars (and more to come,) government representatives from Palm Bay and Brevard County are going to meet and hold a “ribbon cutting ceremony” as if what they did is a reason for celebration.

The title of this video is “Black Woman Says She Is Fat Because Of President Trump & Racism!”
It is from 2019, and instead of taking control of her own life and decisions, a woman tries to make the claim that she is overweight because of “racism.”
The mindless bobble heads in the audience nod in agreement with the woman because, well, because of “racism.”
The comments made by the “Conservative Twins” in the video approach being cruel in their mocking, but there is more truth to their comments than in what the woman says.
We were able to find two studies that dispute the woman’s claim that food is somehow “racist.”
In one study:

It’s Sunday, so take a day off from politics, pandemics, and storms and figure out the puzzles in this Rube-Goldberg-eqsque challenge of “Which Door Will the Ball Hit?”
There’s a bit of history behind this parody, and we’ll deal with that at the end of the video.
Lyrics:
I’ve got more ice than Sweden
More Maker’s than Eden
More 12-year-old whites than Prince Andrew

Flag of Norway (left) and the Battle Flag of the Confederacy (right.)
Two years ago, Greg and Kjersten Offbecker bought an historic mansion in St. Johns, Michigan. The couple turned the mansion into a “Bread and Breakfast Inn” called the “Nordic Pineapple.”
The name is fitting as the Offbeckers have Norwegian heritage and the pineapple has long been the symbol of friendship and welcoming.
The couple decided to put up an American flag and a Norwegian flag on the inn.
Shouldn’t be an issue, should it?
Think again.

We haven’t done a post on COVID-19 in awhile, and we thought we’d update some things.
First, a large scale, phase three test of a vaccine is about start.
The biggest test yet of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine got underway Monday with the first of some 30,000 Americans rolling up their sleeves to receive shots created by the U.S. government as part of the all-out global race to stop the pandemic.
[….]
Final-stage testing of the vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., began with volunteers at numerous sites around the U.S. given either a real dose or a dummy without being told which.
“I’m excited to be part of something like this. This is huge,” said Melissa Harting, a 36-year-old nurse who received an injection in Binghamton, New York. Especially with family members in front-line jobs that could expose them to the virus, she added, “doing our part to eradicate it is very important to me.”
Another company, Pfizer Inc., announced late Monday that it had started its own study of its vaccine candidate in the U.S. and elsewhere. That study also aimed to recruit 30,000 people.

The south used to vote Democrat. Now it votes Republican. Why the switch? Was it, as some people say, because the GOP decided to appeal to racist whites? Carol Swain, Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, explains.
Correction: President Eisenhower ordered 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1957; that is, after the 1956 Presidential election, not as stated in the video, before the election.
Facts matter.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Our good friend William Teach over at the Pirate’s Cove had this story on his website and we want to help spread the word as well.
With all of the demands to hide and destroy any history in the United States concerning the South, the Civil War, and racism from groups, Representative Louis Gohmert (R) of Texas has introduced a resolution demanding that given the racist history of the Democrat Party, that the party change it name and or be abolished.
The resolution is being co-sponsored by Representatives Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Jody Hice, R-Ga., Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Andy Harris, R-Md.
This follows a vote in the House led by Nancy Pelosi to remove images of anyone who had served as an elected official in the Congress before siding with the Confederacy.
Specifically, the House voted to remove portraits of Democrat Robert M.T. Hunter, Democrat Howell Cobb, Democrat James L. Orr and Democrat Charles F. Crisp.
Gohmert’s resolution (seen in it’s entirety below) reads, in part:
