And again, another cell Phone Emergency Alert just a couple of minutes ago:
I had the notion that these messages were supposed to be for immediate emergencies and not repeat the same warning we hear every ten minutes in TV.
Whoever was put in charge of the Emergency Messaging needs to be sent to a Cathedral tower and enjoy the ringing of the bells for 24 hours.

As reported by Fox News:
Trump campaign donating meals to hospitals during coronavirus crisis
The Trump campaign has been donating meals to hospitals across the country to feed doctors, nurses and first responders on the front lines of the coronavirus battle, Fox News has learned.
Since last Thursday, President Trump’s reelection campaign has been calling up local restaurants and ordering large amounts of food to be delivered to more than a dozen hospitals in New York, New Jersey, Washington state and Michigan. The campaign has been placing these orders anonymously, but Fox News learned about the effort — and sources confirmed it.
One source told Fox News that the campaign was looking to not only express gratitude for first responders treating patients with COVID-19, but to support local restaurants.
This is Trump’s reelection campaign. Not the White House, not the Federal government, Trump’s campaign. This is money that comes out of his election war chest.
Fox News confirmed that as part of the donations, an anonymous individual placed a large order at Giovanni’s Italian Deli in Secaucus, N.J., to be delivered to Hudson Regional Hospital.
“They only told us their first name,” an employee of Giovanni’s told Fox News on Thursday. “They called us, and they had us donate meals for the nurses and doctors — an assortment of things, 40 platters of pasta, salads, sandwiches.”
The employee added: “We’re happy to do it. Trust me.”
The manager of Antonio’s Trattoria, in an interview with Fox News, said that a man called the restaurant Monday to have “100 individual orders” delivered to Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.
“It was 20 penne vodkas, 20 pastas with tomato sauce, 30 chicken parmesans, and 30 house salads with grilled chicken,” the manager told Fox News. “He only gave his first name and said he wanted to remain anonymous.”
This is money Trump could have spent on ads or oppo-research or anything else, but instead, his campaign is buying thousands of dollars worth of food from local restaurants and giving it to hard-working medical staff.
How has the TDS internet responded to this?
Take a guess.
BUY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT NOT PIZZAS. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

This is quite literally the LEAST they can do.

That’s nice. Will they be catering to the 1,000,000 funerals also?

Absolutely nothing makes these people happy. They are human shit-stains on the fabric of society. They don’t donate themselves but they are happy to shit on the donations of other, richer people, for not being enough.
It’s not just Trump, the other day Jeff Bezos announced that he would donate $100 Million to the food bank organization Feeding America. That is One Hundred Million Dollars. One Hundred Million Dollars. Say that out loud so that it really sinks in. One Hundred Million Dollars to food banks.
There is a lot of shit that Bezos does that this damnable, but not this. This is praiseworthy.
Not for the internet armchair socialists.
Narrator: He would make that back within minutes.

When you make damn near $9M per hour, that makes this sum one long days work. That’s it. No sacrifice here.

100 mln is a lot of money but far less than 1% of Jeff Bezos fortune. It is like I am donating 1 dollars to you on the sidewalk.

I think one of the things I hate about the internet is that people like this have always existed, but before Twitter and Facebook, all they could do is sit an bitch about how other people were not doing what these shit-weasels though was enough to their immediate friends – assuming that they had any. Maybe one in a million had the gall to write a letter to the editor voicing their shitty opinion. But with 30 seconds of tapping a finger on a smartphone screen, they can force their shitty opinion on the rest of the world.
This is why I am getting so fucking sick of the news.
There is a crisis going on, some of it very real, some of it manufactured, but nevertheless there is a real and disastrous effect happening to this country.
It has inspired the best in some people.
Bezos is under no obligation to feed anyone but his family but donated One Hundred Million Dollars to feed strangers he will never meet.
Trump, under politics as usual, should have spent that money on his reelection campaign, but instead supported small business, independent restaurants, and health care workers, anonymously. And you know CNN and MSNBC won’t report this story.
But all some people can do it bitch about it. What is worse, is that there are politicians out there, like Bernie and AOC who listen to these people and are supported by them.
Really, all I want to do is take these people out and drown them in a bucket of water. Just hold their heads down in a five-gallon paint bucket of water until they stop moving. They add nothing positive to society and we have no room right now for people who exist only to pick apart the fabric of our nation.
Is it possible to get temporary Malaysian citizenship for the duration of the COVID-19 Lockdown?
Asking for a friend.
Malaysia has tips for women staying at home with their husbands during quarantine:

I did a non-meaty demonstration once by placing a plain sheet of letter-size paper across the top of my Model 65 loaded with plain old .357 white box. The shower of unexpected white confetti did not amuse the range owner. I did grab a broom an swept as far as safety allowed me.
Yes, it was dumb move and not very polite. Just don’t do it. But respect the gap
Although I will admit that money was a consideration, I did not feel this time around the urge/need of getting more ammo. I know, you can’t ever say I have enough ammunition, but there was not that feeling of “nakedness” so I let other partake in the frenzy.
One item I did find I could use some more was propellant for my reloads. I think I will invest on a couple of four pound kegs for the “stockpile.”
How about yourselves?
Has he done everything perfectly against the Wuhan Pandemic? No. mistakes will be made and specially under pressure in a rigged game.
But Gebezus! I believe some of the economic strategies are actually well thought out, specially subsidizing the retention of personnel by companies as it solve a boatload of issues, from insurance coverage to restarting the business without needing to retrain all new personnel. And he has managed to get companies moving without much use of the big stick called Defense Production Act. In gunnie talk, displaying the firearm was enough to end the episode without bloodletting.
And I thank the Lord Hillary was defeated. This pandemic would have been in the hands of almost the same people who could not get the Obamacare website working properly or on time and spending $850 million on it.
