Great News! Ron Paul is Okay!
Update: From someone very close to Dr. Paul: “He’s doing well.”
From Dr. Paul’s Facebook page after his minor stroke this morning:
“Message from Ron Paul: ‘I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern.'”
Whew.
More Support For Biden
From Bush Republicans and the national security state. The Democrats are now the party that represents the interests of the NSC, Wall St., corporate America, Hollywood and the corporate press. Yet, Trump may still win.
A bipartisan group of 489 former national security officials have endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The group, National Security Leaders for Biden, said that President Trump “has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office” and “cannot rise to meet challenges large or small.”
“Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us,” the group wrote in a letter released Thursday.
Those who signed the letter include 22 retired four-star generals and numerous high-profile Republicans such as former Navy Secretary Sean O’Keefe and former CIA Director Michael Hayden.
The Republican officials — several of whom were part of the 70 former national security officials who signed on to a separate endorsement of Biden last month — have served under Trump as well as former Republican Presidents George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Reagan.
They say Trump has little empathy, shrugs off responsibility and has allowed climate change and North Korea’s nuclear program to continue unabated.
Trump has also “ceded influence to a Russian adversary who puts bounties on the heads of American military personnel,” they write, referring to allegations that Trump selectively chose to ignore intelligence reports about Russian bounties placed on U.S. service members in the Middle East.
The bounty information was reportedly included in at least one of the president’s written briefings in February, though the president has dismissed the reports.
The group said on Thursday that they believe Biden “has the character, principles, wisdom, and leadership necessary to address a world on fire.”
Biden “has learned hard lessons and grown as a leader who can take positive action to unite and heal our country. It is unthinkable that he would ever utter the phrase ‘I don’t take responsibility at all,’ ” the group writes.
The group was referring to comments made by Trump in a recorded interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward, in which the president deflected blame for his administration’s sluggish ability to test Americans for the coronavirus.The letter comes after an article in The Atlantic, which reported that Trump canceled a 2018 trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, questioning whether it was necessary to visit a cemetery “filled with losers.”
Trump has denied the report.
RIP Keith Hufnagel
RIP Keith Hufnagel, great skater and great spreader of skateboarding to the people.
Someone figure out how to cure cancer please.
THE WORD LEGEND has entered our everyday lexicon to the point that we’ve lost sight of its huge power and rarity. Keith Hufnagel defined the word, his reputation extending far beyond our skateboarding bubble, a man so iconic that his name, in just three letters, H-U-F, has come to represent a worldwide brand.
Hailing from New York City, HUF burst onto the 1990s San Francisco skate scene with otherworldly power and pop, reaching the height of his profession, while simultaneously orchestrating his next landmark, launching his own mold-breaking, brick and mortar stores in The City. Lightyears ahead of the curve, his vision and curation of those shops would transform HUF from nickname to international trademark. We didn’t just want to skate like HUF, we wanted to look like HUF – to be HUF.
Each of us leaves our own little mark, but Keith, you left a whole damn, still echoing canyon. Don’t see how we’ll ever fill that void, don’t know if we want to. Love you forever. –Tony Vitello
Cops Break 10-Year-Old Autistic Boy’s Arm
Oops. His mom made the terrible mistake of calling 911 on her own son. Well, she asked for an ambulance, but they sent the Gestapo.
There will be no accountability for the criminal police officers. They may commit any crime they feel like because they are government employees.
But hey, like FTP says, at least they didn’t shoot him 12 times.
