FVSU football is back and wins its first game under Coach Flowers.  It is good that they are getting some game experience under their belts because we might be a young football team. However, we might have a solid foundation to build upon because the new coach seems to know how to find and develop QBs.    We have combined freshman class 2020 and 2021. Also, some of the members of the 2021 class are on campus and playing now.

‘We All Got Played’: QAnon Followers Implode After Big Moment Never Comes
QAnon adherents appeared to have fractured into two groups on popular far-right message boards Wednesday, with some realizing their crackpot conspiracy theory was a fraud, while others tried to somehow keep the flame of the Crazy Candle alive.

Ron Watkins, the founder of 8chan who is one of several people suspected of being the anonymous poster “Q” who spawned the conspiracy theory, conceded shortly after Biden was sworn in, telling his supporters it was time for believers to keep their “chins up” and “go back to our lives.”

'Maybe we'll give that a shot': Donald Trump praises Xi Jinping's power grab
 This article is more than 2 years old
US president says it is ‘great’ that the Chinese premier has paved the way to become president for life
Donald Trump has celebrated Xi Jinping’s bid to shepherd China back into an era of one-man dictatorship, suggesting the United States might one day “give that a shot”.

China’s authoritarian leader took power in 2012 and had been expected to rule until 2023. However, last week it emerged that Xi would attempt to use an annual meeting of China’s parliament, which kicks off on Monday morning, to abolish presidential term limits by changing the Chinese constitution.

Politics / Close Trump adviser Hope Hicks tests positive for coronavirus, sources say

« on: October 01, 2020, 09:54:42 PM »

Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump's top aides, has tested positive for coronavirus, three sources told CNN on Thursday.

She traveled with the President multiple times recently, including to the debate in Cleveland on Tuesday, and was seen boarding Marine One on Wednesday as Trump was heading to a campaign rally in Minnesota.

A source close to Hicks told CNN that she is experiencing symptoms and is back in Washington, DC. It is unclear how severe her symptoms are at this point. CNN has reached out to Hicks for comment.

"The President takes the health and safety of himself and everyone who works in support of him and the American people very seriously," White House spokesman Judd Deere told CNN in a statement when asked about the level of contact between Hicks and Trump.

Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro tests positive for Covid-19 after months of dismissing the seriousness of the virus

He also acknowledged the life-threatening risk posed by a virus that he has in the past dismissed as a "little flu." "We know the fatality of the virus for those of a certain age, like me, above 65, as well as for those with comorbidities, diseases, other issues. In those cases the virus could be decisive and lead to death -- everyone knew that."

Bolsonaro had reassured supporters on Monday outside the presidential palace in Brasília that he had taken a test and his lungs were "clean," following media reports that he had a fever. Wearing a mask, he warned people to not get near him. "You can't get very close [to me], OK? Recommendation for everyone," he said.

Officials warned about safety issues at Chinese lab two years before COVID-19 outbreak

The Post article states the delegation had serious concerns about safety staffing weaknesses at the lab and suggested that our government should pay close attention to the research going on there and offer qualified help.

One communication obtained by the Washington Post reporter showed the Wuhan team was working on bat coronaviruses and the potential transmission to humans "represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic."
