Yes, lots of breaking news today. Lots of good, it seems and yes, some bad. First the good. If not even great.
Pfizer says virus vaccine 90% effective
Fantastic great news. Very hopeful for us all.
And that got us this.
Dow and S&P 500 hit record highs at open
With that great news on a possible vaccine, the markets went nuts. All time highs. Excellent. (Thank goodness it didn't come out last Monday, huh?).
And then the bad news. This just broke in the last hour.Ben Carson: Trump official tests positive for Covid after attending White House election party
I swear these people don't learn. Incredible. With any other administration, this would be unbelievable. And I don't know what's more ironic, that he's a doctor or that he apparently contracted this COVID from a White House election party, given the now known results. Wow.
Then there's this. It's not bad enough he won't recognize our vote, our votes and our election. It's not bad enough he won't man up, be an adult, a responsible adult---for the first time in his long life--no.
Trump Campaign Adviser Denies Split Over Concession, Plans for Recount Rallies
No, that's not enough or bad enough. Now he also, along with all that, says he wants to have "recount rallies" across the nation. Terrific. Not only deny our election and the results but have yet more pandemic superspreading events, just when we're hitting every higher highs in COVID cases. Sure, why not, right? Why should this man or his administration make sense NOW?
Unfortunately, there's yet more bad news from this President and his White House today, however.
Trump fires Defense Secretary Mark Esper, the first in an expected purge
This administration hasn't been enough of a revolving door, the President had to add yet more to it. Worse than firing him in these, the last 72 days of this administration, he had to also do it as the coward he is.
Trump fires Defense Secretary Mark Esper in a tweet
This horrible and sad news hit yesterday.
U.S. becomes first nation to cross 10M COVID-19 cases
To maybe try to lift us back up and give us a bit of encouragement today from the Republicans, there's this.
Collins becomes third GOP senator to congratulate Biden
And as expected and thought.
Georgia Lt Gov Geoff Duncan: No Examples of Voter Fraud
Finally, today, folks, there's this. Keep in mind this big bit of great news.
Think happy thoughts, campers.
And have a great day and week.
And remember! 72 days!! (to inauguration!)
