I started getting these emails around 3 days ago in my gmail. The senders all seem to be from gmail addresses. Marked them as spam and after a few hours Google caught on and successfully filtered them out, but they keep coming every few minutes — the count is up to 296!

I have three questions: does somebody really think that I’m going to fall for the 300th message when I’ve ignored the previous 299; if the scammer is skilled enough to automatically generate names and accounts, why didn’t they make the names match up; and if the senders are actually gmails, why hasn’t Google shut them down?

From an article in Newsweek www.newsweek.com/…

So for the holy rollers, what it comes down to is :

Newsom — pro-choice, for vaccine and mask mandates and a livable minimum wage

Elder — against choice, masks, any minimum wage at all, Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, sex education, affirmative action, and LGTBQ rights. He also denies the existence of racial or sexual discrimination, racism in policing, and climate change.

So, of course, only the first item on the two lists is of any importance to them.

The lack of enthusiasm for removing Gavin Newsom is growing by the day. I wonder how much of this change is being driven by revulsion for the publicly expressed opinions of Larry Elder, who is currently far in the polling lead of the replacement candidates with 26%.

In recent days, Elder, who is Black, suggested that reparations could go to slave owners because of the loss of their property, He has a history of totally opposing Medicare, the minimum wage, gun control, climate change and choice and insists there is neither racial nor sexual discrimination or any gender wage gap. Not exactly in step with the 7th most liberal state in the nation.

Reagan Library to require proof of vaccination at events!

Since many Reagan Library events feature right wing speakers (Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie in the next few months), I expect the vaccination/testing requirement to be poorly received to say the least.

Insanity in Florida

From The Daily Beast:

Florida Governor DeSantis has essentially abandoned all legal precautions against Covid-19:

On the same day Florida surpassed 14,000 coronavirus deaths, DeSantis announced that the state was immediately moving to the third phase of its three-phase reopening plan. Bars, restaurant, gyms, shops, stadiums, and theme parks can operate at 100 percent capacity, with only some room for local limitations, according to the state’s plan.

IMHO, not only is this insane from a humanitarian and health prospective, but it may very well be incredibly damaging politically for DesSantis, the GOP and Trump because of the timing. If this directive came down a week or so before the election it might be somewhat popular, but there's 40 days to go now. Plenty of time for an utterly disastrous and unnecessary rise in not only cases but deaths.

Just tried to access Social Security: when you try to logon, the site returns “Service not available.” Another service brought to us by Steven Mnuchin and the rest of the trump team.

I admit it, I gave $10 to Bernie a couple of months ago. This has apparently earned me the right to receive a dozen or more emails a day to go along with all of Hillary’s and the DNC’s. Not only do they ALL get deleted unread, but I’m seriously considering setting up Gmail filters to automate the process. There is no question that I’ll be voting Dem in November, regardless of who the candidates turn out to be, but this stuff is really counterproductive.

The NY Times reports that Boston has terminated its bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, which has had a hostile reception from the populus. Mayor Walsh refused to sign a mandatory USOC document which would have put Boston on the hook for any and all budget overruns. http://www.nytimes.com/...
