The 20th Amendment says “the terms of the president and vice president shall end at noon” on January 20....“the terms of their successors shall then begin.” That is all very well and good, but if their successors have yet to be determined because of mail in voting, the outcome is a worrying one indeed.
People have been touting Nancy Pelosi as the " caretaker " because she is Speaker of the house. HOWEVER, it is reasonable to assume that if the election outcome is not known, then there would be a distinct possibility that there would be no House. The terms of all members of the House would end, as stated in the Constitution, on January 3

So said a commenter on an article from The Washington Post back in October 2019 in relation to any Virus that may break out. In fact, even Joe Biden tweeted about the threat of a Virus in October 2019 - months before the supposed outbreak.
The Covid-19 outbreak - named because it was a corona virus identified in 2019 - was clearly on the radar months before we were officially notified and the world went mad.
A global New World Order; with a select few at the helm and we, the People, kneeling in fear.

People today staged a Freedom protest in Victoria, Australia. It was at the rather well known Queen Victoria Market - renowned for its fruit and vege stalls and great Australian produce.
Today, it seems that Victoria is producing a new product altogether: a Police State..
While Nevada held a peaceful protest today with its key speaker, President Donald Trump, it seems that chanting " Freedom " in a public space in Victoria is not the done thing. In fact, having Citizens chant " Freedom " is something to get the Killer tomatoes out for and also the Riot Police.
What the hell have we come to?
I bought a new duster online it is one of those ones they advertise on TV and I am very pleased with it It gets rids of cobwebs and dust quite easily. What a shame it doesn't work with politicians.
I have always been a great believer in the phrase of blowing the cobwebs away. If things are not going well I take a walk and blow the cobwebs away to clear my head. I think that the world needs to take a walk in the fresh air so that we can clear our heads and start thinking sensibly again.
On September 11 2001, the world reeled in horror as America was attacked.
I remember it vividly. It was the middle of a Queensland Spring night and I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed and turned on the TV. The channel was playing what I thought was a futuristic movie. But it wasn't a movie. It was happening.
Half way around the world, I sat on my couch in shock. Nearly 3000 people perished.
"...one of Cate’s closest friends – a man she’d played rugby with – is the ex Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. “I knew I’d have to tell him,” she says, “because our friendship is one of the oldest, most continuous friendships of my life.”
"And what did Mr Abbott say? “I got the most loving response,” says Cate, “He said, ‘Look, it changes nothing.’ Then he said, ‘What’s your preferred name now?’
Tony Abbott is a good man.

Trump is being pilloried by his enemies for downplaying the danger of Covid. Unlike many of the rumours and falsehoods hatched to discredit President Trump, this one I believe. Why? Because fostering Hope in times of Fear of the unknown is what great Leaders do.
As the great Sir Winston Churchill said “ War is a game played with a smiling face, but do you think there is laughter in my heart?
Throughout the second World War, it was essential to keep spirits up, to foster hope and the hope that there would be a morning after – following night after night of despair and fear.

Does the COVID-19 crisis support Neil deGrasse Tyson's call for "Rationalia," a world in which "science" reigns supreme? Here's how C.S. Lewis would have answered.
“You don't need a mask.”
“Everyone needs to wear a mask.”
“Asymptomatic spreaders are the real problem.”
“No wait, it doesn't look like asymptomatic carriers are spreading it.”
“Coronavirus will spread at protests... unless they're protests over the death of George Floyd.”
Solar energy is very dilute, so solar collectors usually cover huge areas of flat arable land, stealing farmland, starving wild herbs and grasses of sunlight and creating “Solar Deserts”.
That is what a liitle five year old girl said. Isn't that sad and now I see two older ladies being harrassed by Police in Melbourne. Their crime sitting on a park bench together. What a State of affairs. When I watched the video I was shocked at 5 Police confronting two hardened criminals having some fresh air.;And then to see one of those Officers snatch the phone from one of ladies. Thank goodness I do not live in Victoria.
