Finally got a real job.

I've been a substitute teacher and an Uber driver for about 5 years and then was on Unemployment until the extra $600 a week ran out. Well, I finally got a work from home job. It doesn't pay a lot right away but there is a pay raise and health insurance after 60 days. And a $475 bonus after 60 days. I'll be supporting cell phones, laptops and computers. I'm excited. I did this for 17 years, 5 of them from home and I'm back to doing it again.

Well Monday is V day

I just got a call and Monday I will get a Covid-19 vaccination or a placebo. Wish me luck. I hope I get the actual vaccination.

Every time I see a Trump commercial on TV I smile

even though the content of the ad may make my blood boil because I live in Texas and I know that if he's having to spend money in Texas he's worried that he could lose here. And even if he wins here, money spent here is money he's not able to spend in North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Ohio or Florida.

Saw an Anti-Biden ad on Telemundo

I was watching Noticias (news) on Telemundo in the 5-6 hour just now and saw a Spanish language attack ad against Joe Biden.

I couldn't find the ad online anywhere.

Basically it said in Spanish that the United States is 16% Hispanic and Biden didn't consider any Hispanic women for VP and ends with:

Joe Biden no cree que las mujeres hispanas sean lo suficientemente buenas.

Translation: Joe Biden doesn't think Hispanic women are good enough.

Like Trump has an Hispanic running mate or something, right?

Honestly, I don't think this is really going to sway any Hispanics that weren't already leaning toward Trump. I thought it was pretty pathetic.

Covidiots are worried about forced vaccinations

I've seen this opinion in my Facebook feed several times with Covidiot wringing their hands with worry about mandatory vaccines.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/08/06/stop-coronavirus-compulsory-universal-vaccination-column/3289948001/

This is my response:

This is just one opinion. It's not gonna happen. What will happen is that schools, doctors and businesses will refuse to allow people who aren't vaccinated to come in their doors. You don't like it, homeschool your kids, don't go to that business, find another doctor.

I don't understand..

If everyone voted by mail and it took a few extra days or even a week or two, why would that be so horrible? The president doesn't take office until January 20th.

Is Trump in Trouble in Texas

Abhi Rahman, a communications director for the Texas Democrats, said changing demographics in the state, the Republican leadership’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and a “general disdain for Trump” are changing the way Texans plan to vote.

“There’s really never been a better time to be a Texas Democrat,” he told The National. “We think we are going to win across the state in November.”

Messing with Xenophobes

Don't know if this has been posted before but I found it really great.
