COVID-19 DASHBOARD

Suzi, a friend of one of our associates, Angela Gilpin sent the following screen shot that shows how the county of Lubbock, Texas reports its COVID-19 numbers. We happen to think this might be the most accurate report form we have seen. El Paso County Commissioners – any chance you could start using a similar dashboard to provide COVID-19 information?

It’s past time with all the BS that all the levels of government are using to tell part of the story on COVID-19 data. The cities, counties, states, and the Feds should start using an easy to understand dashboard like Lubbock. We emailed the example to our county commissioners, mayor, governor and city councilmembers for their review. You might think about suggesting this to your local officials. The truth needs to be told!

STATE CAPITOL COMPLEX

An open question to petulant Governor Jared Polis Schutz: Are you going to pay, out of your personal fortune, for the cleanup of the State Capitol Complex in Denver? The State Capitol Complex was defaced with graffiti and damage from “peaceful” protestors starting in May 2020. You bought your election with your own money. I believe it is the governor’s responsibility, under the state constitution, to protect that complex.

NBA & CHINA

Since the NBA enjoys the money of its China relationship and the great fan base, when are they moving to China? It would be a great lesson for the players to live at least two years there.  In that time they would be able to see the lack of free speech (CCP just arrested Jimmy Lai, Hong Kong media tycoon over the weekend) and terrible lack of human rights promoted by the CCP. But you could keep all the Chinese money!

More about China next week!
