I need some input from you guys....

I live in an apt. in North Redondo Beach, CA. We don't have air conditioning. You used to not need it but man have things changed. I'm going to HAVE to get some kind of an air-conditioner. I can't get a window unit (it's kind of a complicated situation). Fans don't work-I've tried every kind of fan you can think of. This is going to get urgent since I'm not working and it's already starting to get hot in L.A. The past few years (when we've had heat waves) I've stayed at a friend's who has a/c. I can't do that now because she's a cancer survivor with a compromised immune system. HELP!!!!! (I'm post-menopausal and I get so hot that it borders on dangerous)..

Do they sell some kind of stand-alone air-conditioners?

.Thank you

DU'ers, I need your input....

I'm going to be sending an email to some of my friends regarding suggestions about support in the upcoming elections.

Here's a list I've come up with so far:

Senate:

Amy McGrath - Mitch McConnell/Kentucky
Sara Gideon - Susan Collins/Maine
Michael Franken - Joni Ernst/Iowa
Jaime Harrison - Lindsey Graham/South Carolina
John Hickenlooper - Corey Gardner/Colorado
Steven Bullock - Steve Daines/Montana
Mark Kelly- Arizona

House of Representatives:

Valerie Plame - New Mexico

I realize there may also be seats we currently hold that may in danger. I'd very much appreciate any feedback. (I had composed a lengthy post explaining why I'm doing this and all of dynamics but realized it wasn't necessary. Suffice it to say that I have good friends who are politically informed -but not as into it as I am - who have come to me in the past for suggestions and opinions regarding where their monetary contributions may best be used.

Thanks for any input...

Who can tell me some things regarding the

New legislation passed?

Will people be able to delay April rent/mortgage payments?

Will people be able to have credit card payments delayed without penalties?

What about car payments?

Utilites?

Will credit ratings be unaffected?

I tried googling but just wasn't able to find the specifics...

Any answers and/or links that are clear and to the point (if available) is very much appreciated

Thank you and I hope you guys are doing okay.

David Wilcock...

Please help me! A friend of mine who has NO critical thinking skills (but who I love very much) thinks this guy has "inside information." She's proudly "non-political" and I've considered our friendship over the years but she's been there for me and I for her in many situations. We're both into what I call "new age" spiritually.

She's listened to this guy, David Wilcock, over the years. I've never paid any attention to him at all because I know she has a whole conspiracy theory mindset that I've suspected isn't in alignment with mine.

We spoke earlier today and she was telling me about his recent talk about COVID-19 (from a video I guess from his home). I ended up listening to it and he was spouting off what sounded like "right-wing" talking points...

Have any of you heard of this guy? If so, what are your thought?

Kamala Harris...A friend told me she thought she heard

(she didn't remember any details) that Kamala Harris has said she wouldn't be a V.P. candidate. Have any of you heard that?

Who here from the Los Angeles area can provide some guidance

regarding some of the judges, measures, etc.? I've been pretty distracted so I haven't done the research I normally would. Thank you....

We need to flood Chief John Roberts' office with calls....

I'm watching a clip of Chuck Schumer on Rachel and he has asked for Roberts' intervention since dt's now directing Barr to interfere with the Roger Stone sentencing. Schumer said that in the past Justice Roberts has spoken out in defense of the independence of the Judicial Branch.

If I can, I'll try to get through to The Stephanie Miller Show in the morning with a number for people to call....

Do any of you have what you think the best number to call would be?

This morning's Washington Journal ...Thedore Johnson....."Black Voters and Campaign 2020"

I don't know anything about this man. I just woke up early and turned on CSPAN and he was on. He's with The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law as a Senior Fellow.

Among other things, he was discussing "myths about black voters".

He said that one myth is that black voters won't elect a gay candidate. He said that the lack of support for Buttigieg isn't because of his sexuality and went on to discuss the other reasons that Buttigieg is polling between 0 - 3%. He continued by saying that black voters elected a black gay woman for Mayor of Chicago. He then said that one pastor said "If she had kissed her partner in a black church she probably would've been asked to leave but we supported her anyway because her sexuality doesn't matter to us when it comes to politics." WHAT!!!!!????????? Would the pastor have asked a straight man to leave if he kissed his straight wife?!?!?!?

I tried to call but couldn't get through.

(Go to the 3:30 where he starts talking about Buttigieg until around 4:40)
