It's just before 6 a.m. As I do each morning, I glance at cnn.com and at my Facebook news feed to catch up a bit on what happened during the 10 hours or so since I last checked in. What I saw both depressed and sickened me. This is the state of America 2020.
- In Georgia, a young black man went out for a midday run and was gunned down by two gun-toting white thugs.
- The US death toll from Covid-19 reached 77,000, with the worst yet to come.
- Donald Dumb named a top Republican fundraiser as the new postmaster general, adding further threats to the survival of the US Postal Service.
- Three McDonald's employees were shot after telling a customer to leave because the dining area was closed due to coronavirus restrictions.
- Donald Dumb, who always has to be right, at least in his own mind, contradicted a nurse he was honoring as part of National Nurses' Day when she stated that the supply of personal protective equipment was "sporadic."
- A Salute to Nurses parade was crashed by a gun-waving driver in Pennsylvania.
- The administration has shelved a CDC guide to safely reopening America.
- In Ohio, the House of Representatives voted to limit the authority of the director of the state department of health, a physician, to restrict stay-at-home and mandatory closure orders.
- Thousands upon thousands of people are going hungry after losing their jobs.
Things like these, and so many more, are why I feel nauseous and often wake up with a persistent headache. I have serious doubts that America will survive the hatred, the incompetence, the greed, the corruption, and the divisiveness hat have been, and continue to be, inflicted on the country.
Well said. Agree 100% ����
