Who is black and entitled to reparations? Joe Biden tells us that a black person who doesn't vote for him is not "really" black. Is that the criteria we will use? Putting that aside, we still have the question before us: who is black? How many "black" people in the USA are 100% black? Not many. So will we set up South African style panels to determine racial percentages? Will reparations get paid out in accord with those percentages? What do we do with somebody such as Obama who is descendant of white slave owners on his mother's side, and black slave owners and traders on his father's? Does he still get some form of reparations? Or does he pay them?Do read the whole thing.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for July 24, 2020:
The days remain 'interesting'. Cumulative deaths are still rising and daily deaths remain higher but remain relatively stable over the past few days. [Note the scale change (again).]
My estimate of the number of uninfected Americans and the daily death rate continue to decline, now at 30.150% and 0.0621% respectively.
Since the number of confirmed cases appear to be 'spiking' it's worth taking a brief look at the current testing (next graph).
As of today, there have been a total of nearly 50 million tests performed nationwide, only 4 million (~8%) of which are positive. The green triangles represent the number of daily deaths (right axis) with the dashed line being a 2-week rolling average. If the daily deaths were plotted on the same axis as the test data it would be indistinguishable from the horizontal axis.
Georgia remains open but the number of confirmed cases remain very high (~3,700/day over the last week) and daily deaths remain high (mid-70's) for three of the last 4 days.

NEW YORK GOV. ANDREW CUOMO: Eating a sandwich at a bar will prevent coronavirus; eating chicken wings will not.
Riots prevent coronavirus too, so can I presume that bar fights are okay?

ENOUGH WHINING about Trump’s mean tweets.
The fact is that Trump is a human being, not a Golden Corral – you don’t get to pile up only the stuff you want on your plate and leave the stuff that you don’t want on the steam table. If you want a fighter, and we did and do want a fighter, then you can’t start freaking out because he throws a punch."Mr. President, #KeepTweeting."
Leaving aside that Trump is not a bully who starts these fights ... the fact is that we didn’t elect Donald Trump to be President Feelgood Happy Time. We elected him to take a sledgehammer to the garbage establishment whose corruption, incompetence, and greed impoverished, insulted, and sometimes even killed normal Americans, regardless of which half of what the great Michael Walsh labeled the Bipartisan Fusion Party sat in the White House. And when you elect a sledgehammerer – and Trump is the John Henry of American politics – don’t come to me shaking your head muttering, “Goodness gracious, I expected him to be more subtle.”

CHICAGO: where TDS trumps citizen safety:
The issue is how Mayor Lori Lightfoot has embraced her Trump Derangement Syndrome to the harm of her constituents.Read it all.
Under no circumstances will I allow Donald Trump’s troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents.Of course, she’s not alone. We’ve seen the same sort of rhetoric from the West Coast. Mayors and governors would rather watch their cities and states burn than accept help from Trump. After all, Orange Man bad.

So, sorry to those 14 people shot last night. You’re just collateral damage in the fight to oust Trump from office.
