Today, I changed my favorite color: It was Orange, Now it is Green.........................

...Why change a favorite color after more than 65 years of having one favorite color, then deciding to
change it..? Why do that after believing one thing & then changing after so long?.....

Reason: Orange was/is a bright, eye catching color that stands out. That is why I liked it for so long.

Today I realized, Green is a sign of life, growth, rebirth & renewal of life in the Spring..........

So when you think you have heard it all,......then there is just one more.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

......Now, As of Today 12/24/20.... I like Green, (as my favorite color) not Orange!!.......................

Trump's worst crime ever: (won't be prosecuted for) "Downplaying Covid 19, & calling it a "hoax"

..Because of his statement and preliminary activities, Trump by his indifference killed many people. (perhaps thousands or tens of thousands).. who failed to take precautions because of his statements which he knew were"total lies"

Is Trump subject to state laws that might end him up in prison?

Can he pardon himself of all law breaking?. Including breaking of state laws?...

Just asking ahead of time, wondering out loud. Sorry if this has been asked before..

Question, Movie Theaters..What Will Happen To Them?.. I just realized this: I haven't been to a

movie theater in a 8 months or so.

Maybe More.. Yes, this is current events. I have always enjoyed the
wonderful experience of watching a movie in a theater a week or so after it comes out. Yes, what will happen?

...Very short story..I was at the library 2 weeks before "Star Wars" came out. There on the shelf of the library was a small book called ..."Star Wars.." (small, easy to read book, you know..5 inches wide, 8 to 10 inches tall)..a paperback...part of the publicity before opening..

...It was late May-77..So I took the book out, and read the entire book in 2 days. (I am guessing it was a Thursday) So, on Saturday, I went to a movie theater where the film had just opened up, and watched it with a friend. It was an amazing experience beyond belief. Here I was watching that wonderful film on the 2nd or 3rd
day of release, at a large theater in the central part of city and that music is still in my head. Of course, I got
a disk of all the Star Wars original movies, and look forward to the next one..

....But what about going to that large movie theater to watch it in? What is happening? Perhaps some experts here can tell us what they think will happen. I am sure that I am not the only one who hasn't been to a movie theater in a long time. Will they all be gone when this pandemic is over? Thank You for your ideas, I appreciate any thoughts on this matter. I am also not the only one who looks forward to going to the theater to see
a movie..

When Biden takes office, that is when we will hear more, "dirt" on Trump than you can imagine..

..Let's say a few days after Jan 20, it will start to drip, drip, and then a waterfall of information.

..... ..... .... .... .... ... ... .... ...

About how totally self centered Trump was as President of the U.S. I suspect, and speculate, (here in this forum) that the level of selfishness that we will hear about Donald Trump later, after he leaves, will be unbelievable.

My guess is it will make everyone puke.

Not just a few, but everyone......

Now why do I say this?...Once he is out of office, Trump's ability to do harm will be greatly diminished.
It may take a few weeks, but the avalanche is coming...You hear it here, and then, with no consequences to follow, we will hear unspeakable dirt about ex president Trump. The dirt is coming...Lots of dirt!!!!

... .... .... .... ... ... ... ... .

The military will not go along with a ."Trump Power Grab" The military will defend the Constitution

I saw a video where the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs said he would defend the Constitution. Someone can post that, (already has)...but Trump is too stupid to know that the military will not follow an idiot who calls those who gave their lives to save humanity..."suckers"..(a well known comment)..
..Trump can order what he wants, but the military leaders will not follow unconstitutional orders...

Leaders of our military will never forget the "suckers comment." They will never follow any unconstitutional order by the chief liar and fool in the White House. Yes, the military leaders have more
allegiance to the United States than Donald Trump..

"There could also have been a hit on our ridiculous voting machines during the election, which is now obvious that I won big, making it an even more corrupted embarrassment for the USA," he added, ............
........echoing his claims that widespread voter fraud and irregularities kept him from winning a second term. . . .

Covid Cases Surge at Alaming Rate in California

Source: CNN

Updated 7:24 PM ET, Fri December 18, 2020

CNN) -- Since the Thanksgiving holiday, California has faced a surge of Covid-19 infections unparalleled across the United States, leading to continued daily record highs in hospitalizations and deaths.

ICU bed capacity has plunged to nearly zero in vast portions of the state as patients rush into hospitals, which are struggling to manage strains on resources and personnel.

"We're experiencing an explosive and very deadly surge," Los Angeles County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said.

State and local officials are continuing to enact lockdown and quarantine protocols for residents and visitors, even as the Pfizer vaccine rollout has provided some long-term hope. While it may be too early to tell due to the virus' long incubation time, aggressive stay-at-home measures put forth throughout California two weeks ago have yet to slow the spread.

As the nation's most populous state and home to approximately 1 in 9 Americans, California would understandably lead in a category such as total cases in a pandemic felt nationwide. However, it is the sheer volume of sick residents and the rate of increase that is particularly driving alarm.

On November 1, the seven-day average for new daily cases in California was 4,183. On Thursday, it was 38,774.

The bottom line is this pandemic is getting ....much worse, not any better. .....................................
...................... Look at the last sentence, that is your proof...At the beginning of this article, the commentator says that this is the worst death rate has ever been in California during this pandemic...

....Please be careful and take precautions. This is not over, it is worse than ever...................

.........Also Note this quote:"CASES ARE RISING FASTER THAN EVER"..
..........

........................................Please think about that for a moment.........................................

I found another link for more information. Also CNN:

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
