This Kung Flu persecution didn't work out for the City of Moscow, ID. The first of two, Tonight's Feel Good Stories of The Day.

The city of Moscow, Idaho, has agreed to pay $300,000 to three individuals who were arrested for not wearing a mask at an outside church service during the pandemic.
Gabriel Rench, Sean Bohnet and Rachel Bohnet were arrested while attending a “psalm sing” outdoors with around 200 Christians. They were members of the Christ Church, a congregation of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. Footage of the incident showed police seizing Rench’s hymn book and taking him away to jail in handcuffs, where he and the Bohnets were detained for several hours.

After footage of the churchgoers being arrested went viral, then-President Trump condemned the arrest on Twitter, and many people expressed outrage over the actions of police in the liberal college town.

“DEMS WANT TO SHUT YOUR CHURCHES DOWN, PERMANENTLY,” Trump tweeted. “HOPE YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. VOTE NOW!”

Government is inefficient when it chooses to be. Which unfortunately happens all too often. In another prime example of why government must be held accountable for gross negligence. First, city demolishes man's home after sending warnings to wrong address; now it wants to foreclose on property to pay for demolition costs: Report

The city of Atlanta demolished a man's home after sending warnings to the wrong address — and now it wants to foreclose on the property to pay for the demolition costs, WSB-TV reported.

What are the details?
Homeowner Everett Tripodis told the station in an initial report several months ago that the city sent warnings to the wrong address before demolishing his century-old home — an investment property he bought with his mother and was remodeling on Atlanta’s historic West End.

I suspect there is not one city owned vehicle to make a house call. Or even to travel to the local post office and mail a certified mail receipt warning letter.

Thank you Mr. Reid Clanton for your service to our country. You also happen to be in the midst of an ONT "Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day".

A chance encounter in France with an American World War II veteran led to a special experience for the Valencia High School Choir this summer.
Fifty Valencia High School choir students had the opportunity to visit France and sing at the Mont-Saint-Michel Cathedral in Normandy this summer.

The highlight of the trip was singing at the Normandy American Cemetery Memorial, which contains the graves of 9,387 American soldiers, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations, according to the Memorial website.

“Asked to sing a song by an older gentleman, the students obliged. The gentleman was Reid Clanton, a 98-year-old WWII Veteran. Mr. Clanton arrived at Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and fought and survived the Battle of the Bulge,” read a social media post from the Valencia High School Choir.

I really do try not to be the focal point of The ONT. That said I will get on my soap box.........

I've always loved the USA. I remember as a child celebrating every 4 years the Olympics. Proud of our country and the medals each team took home. I remember non-Olympic years watching ABC's Wide World of Sports cheering for American teams when they were competing in international sporting contests. Hell, I even thought a bobsled or a luge would be pretty cool to have here in the Frozen Tundra.

I've never cheered against an American team involved with international sports until this year. When your goal is to be woke and be an embarrassment to your country. I relish in your defeat.

Loathsome scold chokes in World Cup play with a smirk to boot.

Megan Rapinoe laughs after missing crucial penalty kick, sealing US team’s early exit from World Cup

Women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe, who has been accused of poisoning her teammates with her toxic attitude, was lambasted by critics after she missed a crucial penalty kick that resulted in the US team being eliminated from the World Cup and then laughing about it.

Yup Megan, a chick with a dick would have made that shot.

This must happen more than we realize if a lawyer specializes in cemetery and funeral home negligence.

Florida cemetery buries widow with wrong husband — not once, but twice

BUSHNELL, Fla. (WFLA) — For the second time in the past year, a deceased widow has been interred with the wrong late husband at Florida National Cemetery.

The veteran’s cemetery, located in Bushnell, first came under scrutiny last August when the cremains of a woman were mistakenly mixed with the wrong veteran’s cremains.

This summer, there was another mistake: A widow’s casket was found in a crypt with the wrong late husband.

Do you like Rock 'N' Roll music? Do you like to travel? Don't let it be said The ONT doesn't look out for you!

You don't have to travel far to see some incredible rock 'n' roll history. That's the beauty of music and the people who make it — it's everywhere.

But there are, of course, plenty of significant locations all over the world that are best viewed in person. In the below gallery, we're taking a look at 50 Rock Landmarks Every Fan Should Visit.

Though all of these locations still exist in one form or another, many of them have undergone renovations, replacements or changes of ownership. 3 Savile Row in London, for example, where the Beatles held their last live performance on the roof, is now an Abercrombie & Fitch. The Andaz West Hollywood hotel, better known as the "Riot House," has clearly gotten some upgrades over the years as well.
