More Crap in Cory Mason's Shitty of Ratcine

Dear City of Racine Mayor Cory Mason, Spokesperson Shannon Powell, and
Alderpersons,

Cory Mason's City of Ratcine is a cesspool filled with high bacteria
counts - see JT:

RACINE — While Racine's beaches have remained popular this summer with
warm weather and many attractions closed due to COVID-19, swimming in
Lake Michigan at North Beach and Zoo Beach was temporarily banned
Friday morning, the City of Racine, Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department announced.

Eating, drinking, swimming - well... living in the Mason's (Cory,
Rebekka, Scottie + Weber) Shitty of Ratcine seems to be extremely
dangerous to health and life. And wearing a mask will help?

What infantile and intellectually deficient questionable adults

Swimming at North Beach and Zoo Beach currently off limits ‘due to high bacterial counts’

RACINE — While Racine’s beaches have remained popular this summer with warm weather and many attractions closed due to COVID-19, swimming in Lake Michigan at North Beach and Zoo Beach was temporarily banned Friday morning, the City of Racine, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department announced.

Health Department Laboratory staff took samples of the water and found “high bacterial counts,” meaning it is unsafe for people to swim in the lake, according to a release from the city.

The swimming ban “will remain in effect until bacteria levels are within the accepted limits” the Parks Department said in a statement.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED – STAY the FOOK AWAY from Democrat Strongholds like City of Milwaukee, City of Chiraq and City of Ratcine!

I love livin’ in the city [x2]

My house smells just like the zoo,
It’s chock full of shit and puke!
Cockroaches on the walls
Crabs crawlin’ on my balls!
Ohh, but I’m so clean cut,
I just wanna fuck some sluts!

I love livin’ in the city [x2]

Spent my whole life in the city,
Where junk is king and the air smells shitty.
People pukin’ everywhere.
Piles of blood, scabs and hair.
Bodies wasted in the street,
People dyin’ on the street,
But the suburban scumbags, they don’t care,
Just get fat and dye their hair!

Swimming at North Beach and Zoo Beach currently off limits 'due to high bacterial counts'

RACINE — While Racine's beaches have remained popular this summer with warm weather and many attractions closed due to COVID-19, swimming in Lake Michigan at North Beach and Zoo Beach was temporarily banned Friday morning, the City of Racine, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department announced.

Health Department Laboratory staff took samples of the water and found "high bacterial counts," meaning it is unsafe for people to swim in the lake, according to a release from the city.

In a Facebook comment, the Parks Department said that its staff cleans the beaches every two hours, but its efforts could be improved if "more people will realize the importance of leaving it cleaner than when they arrived."

"You want our beaches open? Take care of the environment," another Facebook user said.

The swimming ban "will remain in effect until bacteria levels are within the accepted limits" the Parks Department said in a statement.

Senate Republicans to try to strike down Gov. Tony Evers' state mask order

From The Journal Times.com:

MITCHELL SCHMIDT Lee Newspapers

Less than 24 hours after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers announced a statewide mask order for Wisconsin, Republicans in the Senate have signaled plans to convene in an attempt to strike it down.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said in a Friday statement Senate Republicans "stand ready to convene the body to end the Governor’s order, which includes the mask mandate."

"The Governor has caved to the pressure of liberal groups on this," Fitzgerald said. "How can we trust that the he won’t cave again and stop schools that choose in-person instruction this fall? There are bigger issues at play here, and my caucus members stand ready to fight back.”

Fitzgerald did not indicate when the Senate might convene to take up the matter. The GOP-led Legislature has not met in more than 100 days, despite calls by Democratic members to take up legislation related to COVID-19, police procedures and unemployment benefits.

Announced Thursday by Evers, the state mask order goes into effect Saturday The order follows weeks of public statements by Evers that such a mandate was unlikely in Wisconsin.

Under the new order, which expires Sept. 28, everyone age 5 and older must wear a face covering when indoors or in any enclosed space open to the public including outdoor bars and restaurants, public transit and outdoor park structures. The order does not apply to people in their private residences. Face coverings are strongly recommended in all other settings where people may come in contact with others, including outdoors when maintaining physical distance is not possible. A violation of the order would not bring any criminal penalties but could result in a $200 fine.

Fauci testifies on coronavirus response

Fauci on limiting protests: "I'm not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way"

From CNN's Health Gisela Crespo

Erin Scott/AFP/Getty Images

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday it is not his position to determine what the government can forcefully do, after being asked if the government should limit protesting during the coronavirus pandemic.

In a lengthy and tense exchange, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked Fauci during a House subcommittee hearing if the government should limit the protests that have been going on for months now across cities in the US.

The congressman doubled down, arguing that Fauci has given his opinion on a number of things, from baseball to dating, adding that the government moved to stop people from going to work and has limited church services to avoid the spread of the virus.  

After a back and forth, Fauci said, "I'm not gonna opine on limiting anything. I'm telling what it is the danger. And you can make your own conclusion about that. You should stay away from crowds, no matter where the crowds are."

Deadly mosquito-borne encephalitis returns to Wisconsin

From JSOnline:

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A horse in Dunn County recently tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis, the state’s first confirmed case of the deadly virus this year.

The mare, approximately 10 years old, was euthanized due to her rapidly progressing neurological symptoms, according to the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Horses, other animals and humans can be infected by Eastern equine encephalitis, also known as EEE, a virus transmitted by a mosquito bite. The virus cannot be passed directly between horses or between horses and people.

In an average year, there are only seven human cases of EEE in the country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But in 2019, at least three Michigan residents died from the virus and at least four others were sickened by it.

Brewers' home opener is postponed because of positive coronavirus tests with Cardinals

From JSOnline:

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The Milwaukee Brewers' scheduled home opener Friday afternooon at Miller Park against St. Louis has been postponed because of positive coronavirus tests with the Cardinals travel party.

Jon Heyman of the MLB Network was first to report the game had been postponed because of positive tests with the Cardinals. A source confirmed that St. Louis' travel party was instructed to self-isolate in their hotel in Milwaukee. 

St. Louis played in Minnesota on Tuesday and Wednesday, and was off yesterday. If the Cardinals have to remain quarantined in their hotel, it could lead to the postponement of the entire weekend series at Miller Park.

After three Miami players tested positive last Sunday morning in Philadelphia, the game against the Phillies was allowed to be played, and later several other players had positive tests, forcing the team to isolate in their hotel there. Neither the Marlins nor the Phillies have been allowed to play a game since, and MLB stepped in immediately this time to call off the Brewers-Cardinals game.

What's going on at Foxconn in Wisconsin? A job survey provides some clues -- and may affect whether the company gets tax credits

From JSOnline:

Ricardo Torres

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A survey of dozens of Foxconn Technology Group employees sheds some light on the day-to-day activities of the company in Wisconsin, but few details about the long-awaited production of display panels.

The surveys came as part of a recent audit conducted by Deloitte. Responses from 76 workers covered which Foxconn subsidiaries hired the workers, when was their first day with the company, their job title and description, what projects are they working on, how much work do they do in Wisconsin, and what work have they done outside the state. 

Most employees surveyed work for AFE Inc., a Foxconn subsidiary, and more than half of those surveyed said they work in Mount Pleasant where the company is building a massive complex.

The company has said the complex will include the country’s first liquid crystal display panel factory.

More coverage: Foxconn in Wisconsin

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel obtained a copy of the audit from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. through a public records request.

The audit will be used by the agency as it determines whether Foxconn hired enough people in 2019 to qualify for millions of dollars in state tax credits. Foxconn has promised to spend $10 billion on a manufacturing complex and create up to 13,000 jobs in exchange for up to $3 billion in public money over 15 years.

The firm missed out on jobs incentive payments for 2018, falling 82 jobs short of the 260 minimum requirement. It will need 520 jobs by the end of this year to get any payments for 2019, and 1,820 next year to receive payments for 2020.

Foxconn has said it will open the display panel plant by the fourth quarter of this year. The company has not said how many people are working in Mount Pleasant, but the audit gives some clues as to what some workers there and elsewhere are doing.

Jobs included security, data and software engineers, legal counsel and someone who works in “TV assembly.

Redactions were made to protect employee identities. Three survey responses had other information blacked out by WEDC.

Employees were asked “using general terms and without disclosing confidential information or trade secret, describe the primary project you are working on.”

One employee listed what appears to be the names of four projects, but three of them were blacked out. The fourth project was listed as "Medtronic."

Foxconn has partnered with Medtronic to make ventilators at its facility in Mount Pleasant. The company also has said it is making masks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.  

Foxconn has bought buildings in Racine and Green Bay for “innovation centers” where little has been done since the announcement. Those properties have a site development project manager, working out of Milwaukee offices, for FEWI Development Corp., who says they are leading the design, build out and continued management of the “Foxconn properties plan.” 

According to the site development project manager’s survey response, Foxconn is working on a build out of its property in downtown Racine, which is planned to cost more than $600,000. 

The person also is working on “mediation of park structure” for a building in Green Bay, capital improvements and repairs at the property in Green Bay and a different property in Racine, along with “leasing spaces in multiple properties.”  

Since breaking ground in 2017, the only products to come out of the Mount Pleasant facility has been masks, of which the company donated 100,000 to the state to combat the pandemic.  

Foxconn activities could be more tied to the pandemic than just masks and ventilators.  

One employee who self-identified as a “senior manager for special projects” regarding the ventilator project and other health related projects, said this of the primary project they are currently working on: 

“Help Racine community to open up economy.”

Click to enlarge

There were a few employees whose answers may create a concern when it comes to the job counting for state subsidies. 

One employee stated they worked for the Foxconn Industrial Internet (Fii), which the state contends is not part of the agreement for tax credits.  

Another employee, who lives in Illinois and works for FEWI Development Corp., stated they don’t do any work in Wisconsin and their job includes facilitating air import/export shipments, along with pickups.  

The administration of Gov. Tony Evers has said the contract between the state and Foxconn may need to be revised because the company has shifted the type of work it plans to do in Mount Pleasant away from a heavy emphasis on production

Some Wisconsin voters may have to briefly lower their masks so poll workers can identify them

From JSOnline:

Patrick Marley

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MADISON - Some voters may be asked to lower their masks before they cast ballots this fall so poll workers can make sure they are the person on their photo ID, election officials said Thursday.   

Meanwhile, those who refuse to wear masks at the polls will be allowed to vote, despite a mask requirement that kicks in on Saturday, they said. That's because election officials can't impose new conditions on the right to vote. 

Members of the state Elections Commission reached those conclusions Thursday during an emergency meeting they held just hours after the Democratic governor issued his mask order to help combat the coronavirus pandemic.

His order — similar to ones issued in nearly three dozen other states — creates new issues voters and election workers will have to address during the Aug. 11 primary and Nov. 3 general election. 

Some Republican lawmakers have raised the prospect of voting down Evers' mask order or trying to get a court to overturn it. 

Evers issued the mask order in conjunction with the declaration of a public health emergency. Eliminating the emergency declaration could make it difficult or impossible to use National Guard members as poll workers, said Ann Jacobs, the chairwoman of the commission.

Many clerks had difficulty getting their usual poll workers to take shifts during the April election for state Supreme Court and they relied on the National Guard to take on those duties. 

"The declaration of a public health emergency allows the governor to call up the Guard and assign them to voting," said Jacobs, a Democrat. "And if he's not able to do that, there's a risk that we have Guard personnel for August or November."

The commissioners — three Republicans and three Democrats — unanimously recommended that voters wear masks at the polls. But they said they could not stop anyone from voting if they didn't wear one.

"There are individuals who aren't wearing masks because they fit into one of the exceptions," said Commissioner Dean Knudson, a Republican. "Maybe they have a health condition that they're not supposed to wear a mask. Maybe just through their version of their civil liberties, they believe they shouldn't have to wear a mask. And at the polling place they shouldn't be challenged about this and they shouldn't have to be adamant about it. They should be just left alone about it."

The commissioners said poll workers should be able to identify many voters on their IDs even when they are wearing masks. But when they cannot, they can ask voters to briefly lower their masks, they said.

Evers makes masks mandatory starting on Saturday

From The Journal Times.com:

Adam Rogan

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers, despite saying for weeks if he’s not sure any statewide orders regarding COVID-19 will hold up in court, on Thursday ordered masks to be worn indoors when not in a private residence statewide.

The order is scheduled to go in effect Saturday and will remain in effect, unless it is overturned or cut short, at the end of September. Those found to be breaking the order could face a civil forfeiture of up to $200.

But Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said that his department will not enforce the order, just as he said he would not enforce the Safer at Home order preceding it being overturned.

In a text to The Journal Times, Schmaling said that Evers’ order is “another overreach by our state government that I will not enforce. I have confidence that our citizens, business owners and visitors will take reasonable precautions to keep themselves and others they encounter safe.”

Schmaling added: “We will leave the enforcement of this to our local health department experts.”

The Washburn County Sheriff’s Office, a rural county with a population of less than 16,000 near the northwest corner of Wisconsin, has also announced it will not be enforcing the order either.

I have confidence that our citizens, business owners and visitors will take reasonable precautions to keep themselves and others they encounter safe."

He added: "We will leave the enforcement of this to our local health department experts." 

The Racine County Sheriff's Office received statewide criticism and praise after it announced it would not enforce the Safer at Home order that has since been overturned.

The Washburn County Sheriff's Office, a county with a population of less than 16,000 near the northwest corner of Wisconsin, has also announced it will not be enforcing the order.

RACINE, WI — A rare and endangered snake population was found near a proposed bridge replacement project in Racine, state officials said.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation wants to replace the existing historic structure at the West 6th Street Bridge in Racine, and upgrade the road that approaches on either side to match the new structure.

Officials say the DOT project may result in the "incidental taking" of a rare snake under an authorization the Department of Natural Resources proposes to issue for the project.

The presence of the state endangered Queensnake has been confirmed in the vicinity of the project site, DNR staff said. DNR staff also determined that the proposed project may result in the incidental taking of some snakes, according to a news release.

Vaccine Candidate Delivers Protection In A Single Shot (In Monkeys)

Nobody is eager to be stuck by a needle twice, so naturally many would view a COVID-19 vaccine that provides disease protection after a single injection as a good thing.

Two new studies released Thursday suggest that might be possible.

Both studies involved rhesus macaque monkeys. In one study, researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and pharmaceutical company Janssen injected the animals either with a vaccine candidate or an inert placebo. Six weeks after they were injected, the researchers exposed the animals to the coronavirus, both by putting it in their noses and down their throats.

All 20 of the animals receiving the inert, placebo injection showed signs of infection in both their lungs and noses after being exposed to the virus. But one of the vaccine candidates seemed quite effective in preventing infection. In the six animals vaccinated with this particular candidate, none had signs of infection in their lungs, and only one had a sign of infection in the nose.

Twitter hackers used “phone spear phishing” in mass account takeover

This month's epic breach targeted multiple employees, Twitter says.

Tom Raftery

The hackers behind this month’s epic Twitter breach targeted a small number of employees through a “phone spear phishing attack,” the social media site said on Thursday night. When the pilfered employee credentials failed to give access to account support tools, the hackers targeted additional workers who had the permissions needed to access the tools.

“This attack relied on a significant and concerted attempt to mislead certain employees and exploit human vulnerabilities to gain access to our internal systems,” Twitter officials wrote in a post. “This was a striking reminder of how important each person on our team is in protecting our service. We take that responsibility seriously and everyone at Twitter is committed to keeping your information safe."

Thursday's update also disclosed that the hackers downloaded personal data from seven of the accounts, but didn't say which ones.
