Millions of Americans are discovering the joy of co-writing with cats. Also: They yowl during conference calls.
FEW have acted more like Criminals-in-Congress than my North Carolina Republican Senator Richard Burr!!! And I THOUGHT that Thom Tillis could not be beat for CHRISTIAN GREED and HATRED!!!
In 2008, Burr put out a press release warning the public not to panic that Citigroup was taking over Wachovia, a bank based in North Carolina.
“Today’s news of Citigroup’s acquisition of Wachovia might be unsettling to many in North Carolina. While these are difficult times in our economy, it is important to remember that this move provides for the protection of accounts and the soundness of savings for Wachovia’s customers. FDIC has said that all services for customers should continue uninterrupted,” he said.
In other words, don’t freak out, and don’t make a run on the banks.
But that’s exactly what Burr did.
Around the same time, Burr told his wife to go to the bank and take out as much of their money as possible. He revealed his actions in another speech to business leaders in 2009.
“On Friday night, I called my wife and I said, ‘Brooke, I am not coming home this weekend. I will call you on Monday. Tonight, I want you to go to the ATM machine, and I want you to draw out everything it will let you take. And I want you to go tomorrow, and I want you to go Sunday,’” Burr told the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce at the time, referring to the 2008 incident.
Now, the OTHER TWO REPUBLICANS and DIANE FEINSTEIN have their excuses that might or might not be found to HOLD WATER.
Diane Feinstein's HUSBAND (getting Diane's Inside Information), made MILLIONS for them when BankAmerica (then still controlled by the Sinatra Family -- before they sold control to my Kenan Family), which had originated the FIRST nationwide credit card not just for millionaires, Bank Americard, later renamed VISA., put the VISA logo out for sale to the HIGHEST BIDDER -- and look where it's gone TODAY!!!
Because of Ms. Feinstein's "THEFT", Congress soon passed the FIRST LAWS against insider-trading by Congresspeople!!!
I'm not certain when that was, but see that between 2003 and 2005, her net worth grew from $26 million to an estimated $99 million, but that did NOT stop her GREED!!!

>>> "The leader of one party has caused a national calamity, while the leaders of the other have nothing much to say."
While other places — Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and others — prepared for the coronavirus and took proactive measures to prevent its spread, Trump did nothing. He dismantled the White House task force responsible for pandemic responses, sat on his hands while the death toll escalated in other countries, called the virus a “hoax,” repeatedly claimed it would “miraculously” go away on its own, downplayed the intensity of the virus by comparing it to the seasonal flu and insisted for months that the situation was “totally under control” while his administration failed even to procure basic tests.
As a result, the United States now faces a domestic crisis unseen since the Great Depression. This is the result of political malpractice, not merely biological bad luck.
But Trump does not have a monopoly on political malpractice. As the crisis has spread, Democratic Party leaders ― House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden ― have either been missing in action or short on solutions.
Their silence has ― incredibly ― allowed a handful of arch-conservative Republicans to take public credit for advancing the popular, progressive idea of just sending every household a large check for the duration of the crisis.
Pelosi explicitly rejected that very idea in early talks among House Democrats, overruling pleas from Democratic economists. With Democratic leaders thinking small, a majority of the public now actually approves of Trump’s catastrophic pandemic management, according to a new poll.
The leader of one party has caused a national calamity, while the leaders of the other have nothing much to say.

>>> NEWS FROM WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA:
Kevin Maurer in 2014 with the Cape Fear River separating him from the USS North Carolina.
FIRST, I am THRILLED that my last posting -- a Letter to Kevin Maurer, https://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2020/03/my-letter-to-kevin-maurer-author-and.html -- jumped overnight to the MOST HIT posting of the last week (except for http://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2020/03/looks-like-only-catholic-churches-will.html).
Kevin WON'T contact me if he ACTUALLY is a CIA Agent -- and will have a GOOD LAUGH and at least speak with me by phone (I sent my cell number when I sent a link to this by his and Cape Fear Collective's secured server forms -- and got received receipts from BOTH of them), if he is not.
Today, I drove downtown where Kenan Memorial Fountain is being repaired (not moved), and I ONLY WISH it would be RE-DEDICATED to William Rand Kenan, Jr., who paid for it to honor his White Supremacist LEADER of the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection, William R. Kenan, Sr. and his obviously IGNORANT CHRISTIAN WIFE, Mary (Hargrave) Kenan.
Although this was only expected to take two weeks, work is still ongoing and temporary lane closures are still in place.
BTW: Kevin Maurer, I discovered yesterday while doing research, has reported not only on the installation of the NEW 1898 Insurrection/Coup d'Etat Marker, but ALSO on David Zucchino's BOOK!!!
Kevin Maurer must have been there -- but I was not looking for him, nor did I notice him.
I am reading this book VERY SLOWLY, a few chapters every several days -- because it is TOTALLY DETAILED and brings the reader into really FEELING all that was going on. And it PROVES that TODAY'S WILMINGTON CHRISTIANS are as HATEFUL and ANTI-GOD as our Ancestors were 112 years ago!!!
I have NO REASON to believe that Kevin Maurer is a Christian (or other "Religionist"), and I bet he's NOT CLOSET-GAY, either, like District Attorney Benjamin R. David, Mayor "Bill" Saffo, or Republican Operative and DISGRACED ROMAN CATHOLIC NC former Republican Senator Thom Goolsby.
Therefore, the ONLY REASON for Kevin Maurer to AVOID ME (he doesn't have to agree to go into a writing partnership -- but just to "compare notes"), is if he REALLY IS employed by the CIA or similar, no???
>>> ONE FINAL NOTE:
At least Dear Ole Jesus gives GOOD HAND-SANITIZER -- no???
That time I met Jackie Kennedy Onassis in 1982: http://laterdaysoftennesseewilliams.blogspot.com/2013/10/chapter-23-uptown-soiree.html
