IN THE ROUGHDonald Trump has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his struggling Scottish golf clubs. Lawmakers in Edinburgh want to know where that cash came from....the self-proclaimed “king of debt” typically takes out large loans to finance the ventures he does bankroll. In this case, Trump’s company proceeded with the development on its own. And it says it paid for everything in cash.Such was also the case for Turnberry, the historic golf resort, an hour south of Glasgow, that Trump purchased in 2014 for $60 million.....Like other Trump wagers, his Scottish gamble has so far not worked out. Both resorts are bleeding millions annually. ....If business was lackluster before, it’s dismal now that the coronavirus pandemic has all but halted the Scottish golf season, at least as far as international travelers are concerned.Recently, a new—and perhaps bigger—threat to Trump has emerged in Scotland. Scottish lawmakers are pushing to peer into Trump’s finances using an anti-money-laundering statute typically employed against kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crime kingpins. Their question: Where did the hundreds of millions Trump poured into his Scottish courses actually come from?...This February, a group of Scottish Parliament members began making the case that Scotland should use an investigative tool under UK law called an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) to scrutinize Trump’s transactions. It can’t be wielded against just anyone; it’s designed to make inquiries into the finances of “politically exposed persons” suspected of money laundering. https://apple.news/Aoh9xLB1iSGW4-KvrwD38dg 👁🗨And he still hates windmills.

Whenever I see pictures of the countries who have mostly worn masks in the past, they also have worn them outside, and it reminds me that they’re the countries that seemed to have handled this crisis the best. Once you’ve made that decision, it’s a piece of cake..just don’t try to eat it. My take is wear them whenever you are headed into a crowd or public place or...protesting? and the like. Going for a somewhat isolated stroll? Nah. It’s leadership they’re providing, and we haven’t seen that in this present administration.- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.

Somebody gets it.. Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden emerged from his and Sen. Kamala Harris' coronavirus health briefing from experts Thursday afternoon advocating that a mask mandate be instituted nationwide. "Every single American should be wearing a mask when they're outside for the next three months, at a minimum. Every governor should mandate — every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing," Biden said, adding that experts advised it could save over 40,000 lives over the same time span. https://www.cnn.com/webview/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-08-13-20-intl/h_e18c953da1c7e03b79f3e2470cf32005- US Politics
