It is June and my quarterly request for your donations.  Your financial support is the only indication I have of whether my explanatory efforts are appreciated sufficiently to be continued. There are other more pleasant or more remunerative ways to use my remaining time.

The monthy donors are the financial backbone of this website and the reason it exists and continues. The quarterly requests are made to supplement their support.  Normally they do, but the March request was a bust.  It is easy to understand why.  People were preoccupied with the uncertainty of the virus threat and the economic consequences of the closures and loss of jobs and income.  These uncertainties still exist, although we now know that there are successful treatments, such as HCQ/zinc and intravenous vitamin C, if authorities permit their use, and reopenings, if they can be maintained, are bringing back some of the jobs. 

Despite the virus, this website continues and, hopefully, so will its support.

Now to address the topic of today—the George Floyd protests.

As my readers know, I am a critic of police brutality and regard George Floyd's murder as being as unacceptable as every other outrage committed by police.  I am encouraged that this time the officer has been arrested, instead of protected,  and that the arrest came early as soon as the investigation was complete.  Yet white Antifa members have turned a peaceful black protest into  violent multi-city riots  that are ongoing despite the arrest of the police officer.
