It is exhausting and disheartening to watch the COVID-19 numbers of illness and deaths spin ever higher and too often faster and faster. We have already commented that Louisiana’s Governor, following sound public health advice, invoked his considerable executive powers early and often. First state case: March 9. Multiple orders starting with Declaration of Public… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: More Louisiana By the Numbers (April 4, 2020)

Trump & the COVID-19 Dream Team (April 4, 2020)
For a real-life cartoon President, there is no better backup than a not on TV Trio of Pranksters and Bumblers. At least the originals made us laugh, and no one got killed. If you’all don’t know who the Three Stooges are, go watch some educational TV during the Stay At Home Shutdown. For the older… Continue reading Trump & the COVID-19 Dream Team (April 4, 2020)

Trump & Delay is Death (April 3, 2020)
The President desperately needs our help to push this Pandemic behind us in some acceptable time window. He just can’t do it alone. There is one recent disaster operations model he can follow to reduce the growing strain on his own re-election campaign, especially after today’s March Jobs Report, which isn’t going to fix itself.… Continue reading Trump & Delay is Death (April 3, 2020)
Trump & Remember Katrina 2005 (April 3, 2020)

Trump’s Corona: LAFL Race to the Top (April 2, 2020)
Here in the Southeast we are used to a variety of hard fought intersectional contests, usually athletic in nature. Native and transplants alike are justly proud of our outstanding college and prep sports teams. We believe with some justification that the SEC (our athletic pride and joy) is the Best in the Nation. As for… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: LAFL Race to the Top (April 2, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Confederacy of Dunces (April 1, 2020)
One of today’s quick little mashups to leaven the day’s drumroll of Stupid. One can’t help being aware that in happier times, such a display might be dismissed as a tasteless April Fool’s Prank. A trap set for the unwary. No screenwriter, no matter how gloriously twisted, could hope to compete with the real-life disturbances… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Confederacy of Dunces (April 1, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Louisiana Tapping the Brakes? (March 30, 2020)& Hardy 1930 Another Fine Mess
We live in hope, all of us. Some states took the risks more seriously than others, earlier than others. Trump.45 blew it off until the last minute. He squandered whatever time delay was gained from initial restriction of travel from China in late January. His voluntary 15-day guidelines were issued on March 16. He spent… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Louisiana Tapping the Brakes? (March 30, 2020)& Hardy 1930 Another Fine Mess
Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (March 29, 2020)
It is tiring and disheartening to watch the COVID-19 numbers of illness and deaths spin ever higher and too often faster and faster. It is worse when the CIC is out to lunch and spinning ignorant fairy tales to no good public purpose. Yet here we are. We have already commented that Louisiana’s Governor, following… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (March 29, 2020)
Trump’s Corona Watch Ongoing Post 01 (March 1, 2020)
Sad to say, due to Trump.45’s consistent AIM (Arrogance, Incompetence, and Misinformation) we now have an American spreading wave of viral illness, with two known deaths on U.S soil in the last week, new case community spread in 11 states, significant negligence by CDC lab officials in botching test protocols and reagent manufacturing, and continued… Continue reading Trump’s Corona Watch Ongoing Post 01 (March 1, 2020)
