Hand sanitizer that smells worse than burnt tires!

Or nasty pesticides or a dumpster fire!

Sanzi Derm Hand Sanitizer



https://www.amazon.com/Sanzi-Derm-Antiseptic-Moisturizing-Sanitizer/dp/B08952W91M

This hand sanitizer STINKS! It smells rancid! I purchased a bottle at my local Kroger and the smell will literally make you gag! It does not have a alcohol smell at all!

Note the One Star rating. I can't even post a review on Amazon because of all the problems with it.


I bought this at Walgreens yesterday. I almost freaked out when I put it on my hands today. The smell was horrendous. I ran to the bathroom and washed it off. This stuff is probably counterfeit and it smells very unsanitary.

All I can think of it taking it to the pharmacist at Walgreens.

This brand is not one of the brands being recalled. Looks like it is made in NY

For those wishing facebook's demise:

You might get your wish.

They messed up their Desktop/PC interface. I just tried sharing the Denture Stealing Dog Video and it won't share. I also tried sharing some petitions and they wouldn't share.

Now the site is a resource hog
Argghhh.....

Right now this stupid ad is pretty much taking up my entire FB screen on my computer:



And when I click on the notification icon, I get only the stupid single post and a big ole white screen...what a waste of space! I have to go to the home screen before I can start scrolling again...How lame!

Gov. Greg Abbott won't fight new Bexar County move to require masks in San Antonio area businesses

Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff issued an order Wednesday mandating that businesses require customers and employees to wear masks after Gov. Greg Abbott once again refused to allow local authorities to make the requirement mandatory for all residents.

“The action that I’m taking today may be pushing the legal bounds a little bit,” Wolff said. “But our attorneys believe we can defend this order in court.”

A spokesman for Abbott’s office said Wolff’s workaround is all right by Abbott — leaving the door open for other counties to take the same steps.

“Judge Wolff’s order is not inconsistent with the governor’s executive order,” Abbott spokesman John Wittman said.

Under Wolff’s order, businesses have until Monday to adopt “health and safety” policies that require masks for customers and workers or they risk a $1,000 fine.

_______________________________________________________________________

Article might be behind paywall. There will be no jail time for mask violations. (Abbott stated he was against jail for mask violations..duh...so am I..It's about public health, not law and order and it's about the greater good. A few bad apples or people who cannot tolerate masks won't ruin our health) Penalties will be imposed on businesses, not consumers.

Haa!! I did that Obama Day thing!

Posted Obama pics on Trumps Twitter


I'm so juvenile

I like presidents who can walk down steps (pic of Obama exiting AF 1)
I like presidents who attend the WH Correspondents Dinner (gif of Obama at WH Correspondents)
I like president who can run (gif of Obama and Biden running)

Then I tweeted an ugly gif of Trumps scalp.

Human remains found at the Daybell home

Human remains have been found at an Idaho man’s home that was searched Tuesday during an investigation into the disappearance of his new wife’s two children – a case that has vexed investigators since last year and attracted worldwide attention.

Chad Daybell, who recently married the children’s mother, Lori Vallow Daybell, was taken into custody, according to police in the small town of Rexburg. He has not been charged, and his attorney, Mark Means, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Seven-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan haven’t been seen since September, and police say both Chad and Lori Daybell lied to investigators about the children’s whereabouts. Besides the missing children, the couple has been under scrutiny following the deaths of both of their former spouses and drew attention for their doomsday beliefs.

Rexburg police, along with investigators from the FBI and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, were searching Chad Daybell’s home in the eastern Idaho town of Salem for the second time. The search warrant is sealed, and Rexburg Assistant Police Chief Gary Hagan said in a statement that he couldn’t reveal details other than to say the search was linked to the disappearance of the children.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Debra Lehrmann, husband test positive for coronavirus

The former Tarrant County jurist calls her COVID-19 infection ‘very perplexing,’ coming as it did after two months of being ‘extremely careful.’ (hmmm..if you read the article, you see that she wasn't)

AUSTIN — Texas Supreme Court Justice Debra Lehrmann said Thursday she has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, becoming the first high-ranking state official with a known case of COVID-19.

Lehrmann and her husband, Greg, suffered fevers and body aches early last week before getting swabbed at an Austin drive-through testing center, she said.

Their Houston lawyer son, Jonathan, his wife Sarah and their six-month-old son Jack abruptly ended their visit at the elder Lehrmanns’ Austin residence. Though testing hasn’t confirmed it, the three Houston Lehrmanns also are believed to have been infected, Debra Lehrmann said.

“We have strictly adhered to the stay-at-home order since early March,” she said.

Six candidates, including two well-known Democrats, file in special Texas Senate election to replace



Six candidates, including two well-known Democrats, file in special Texas Senate election to replace Kirk Watson

Six candidates, including some well-known Austin-area politicians, have filed to run for the July 14 special election to replace retired Democratic state Sen. Kirk Watson, according to the Texas secretary of state’s office.

Candidates had until 5 p.m. Wednesday to file to run for the seat.

State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, a longtime Austin Democrat, and former Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt are widely considered the two most prominent candidates for Texas Senate District 14, a historically Democratic seat that covers Bastrop County and parts of Travis County.

Rodriguez has served in the House since 2003 and has support from most of Travis County’s state House delegation. And Eckhardt, whose last day as county judge was Tuesday, has helped to oversee the community’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.


Two Republicans are also running for the Senate seat: Don Zimmerman, a former Austin City Council member, and Waller Thomas Burns II, who initially filed as an independent.

Texas Attorney General Asks Supreme Court to Weigh in on Voting by Mail


We all knew Paxton was gonna pull a fast one!



by Alexa Ura,
The Texas Tribune May 13, 2020
In a bit of judicial leapfrog, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the Texas Supreme Court to weigh in on his interpretation of how voters can qualify for absentee ballots during the coronavirus pandemic.

Various lawsuits are pending over whether eligibility for mail-in ballots can be expanded to voters who risk contracting the virus by voting in person. Paxton believes it can’t, and Wednesday asked the state’s highest civil court to issue a relatively rare writ of mandamus preventing local election officials from doing so.

In a motion filed Wednesday, the Republican attorney general asked the Texas Supreme Court to order election officials in some of the biggest, largely Democratic counties in the state to follow his reading of existing eligibility requirements for absentee voting, arguing the court must step in quickly because those county officials intend to apply an “incorrect reading” of state law.

Federal and state courts are considering legal challenges to the state’s rules for voting by mail that seek to extend eligibility to voters who lack immunity to the new coronavirus. Primary runoff elections are set for July, and new ground rules could also come into play for the November general election.

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
