STRONG LEADER? YES…….IRON FISTED? NO

Over the years, people have become accustomed to the Federal Government springing into action in a National crisis, and creating new and far reaching bureaucracy’s that live into eternity, even after the crisis is over. In other words, every crisis expands the Federal Governments power even more. This is something we really don’t need, when it comes to government, less is better. Much better.

Totalitarian rule has it’s advantages, as far as the rulers are concerned. When a totalitarian ruler wants something done, it’s done instantly. It doesn’t have to be debated in a congress or committee, it just gets done. That’s great as long as it is done in good faith, with thoughtful consideration for all of those affected. But that is rarely the case. Having been involved over the years as a chairperson for several events, I can tell you that dealing with committees can be extremely frustrating. The reason it is frustrating, is because the committees quite often lose sight of the original intent, or goals of the event while attempting to insert their own ideas to make it more ” how they would do it”. In essence, the committees real function should be to simply help attain the end result as described by the event organizer.

This is precisely the dilemma our President is finding himself in at the present time. Donald Trump, in spite of what the press will tell you, makes his decisions based on Constitutional principles. Rather than create more federal bureaucracies to combat the Corona Virus, he instead, enlisted the help of major companies, and turned the responsibilities over to the state governors, giving them suggested guide lines for dealing with the crisis. The problem with this, is that once you turn the power over to others, they start putting their own personal ideas into action, and it’s impossible to regain power over the situation. The Feds are saying it’s time to start re-opening the economy, and the governors are balking, for reasons only they know. So now the committees are in charge, and the event coordinator is pulling his hair out.

Now the proverbial double edge sword emerges. The states have curtailed a huge portion of their tax revenues by the prolonged shut downs. Most of these states have a giant monster in the closet, if it gets loose, will devour them all, it’s called the retirement fund, or PERS. Most states are already teetering on bankruptcy because of this. The reason is very simple, it was nothing more than a pyramid scheme from the beginning. A lot of these states will be facing a real financial crisis, and likely bankruptcy because of prolonged shutdowns. Who do you think they are going to turn to for relief? Yep, you guessed it, the Federal Government.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STATES INABILITY TO MANAGE THEIR AFFAIRS. IF THE STATES ELECT TO IGNORE THE COLD HARD FACTS, AND DRIVE THEMSELVES INTO BANKRUPTCY, SO BE IT. AS AN OREGONIAN, I DON’T FEEL ANY OBLIGATION FOR THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER STATE DUE TO THEIR FINANCIAL INEPTITUDE. 

Maybe it would have been better for the Federal Government to have taken an “iron fist” approach to this. Some states are doing a great job, others not so much. When you look at Oklahoma vs. Michigan, you can certainly see that the Oklahoma governor is firing on all cylinders, and the Michigan governor is obviously on another planet. I guess what is actually comes down to, is there are smart responsible people with common sense, and there are the others. The “others” are the ones that make the case for the “iron fist” approach. You decide, I know how I would have done it.

The events that have unfolded over the past few months have made me realize, that perhaps in dead silence, the Spirit of ’76 has perished, and no one even noticed. The fighting spirit that once resided in every corner of the United States, seems to hiding out, afraid to come out in fear of it’s life. One should never forget the famous statement, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

At first, when President Trump and his team, suggested the public refrain from large gatherings, it was fifteen day window of time. That seemed like a reasonable request. We could all pull back on our activities for fifteen days, no problem, if it helped get this virus under control. We were being told that this particular virus was proving to be extremely deadly. That was a gross exaggeration. In fact it has proven to be no more deadly than the seasonal flu. The so called “models” that all of our leaders were citing were wildly incorrect, but we were being told they could be trusted because they had been created by super smart people that really knew what they were doing. WRONG!

If you read my blogs, you will surely know that I am a Trump, supporter and my next statement may surprise you. President Trump bought into the predictions hook, line, and sinker. You really can’t blame him. If he poo poos the models and things go really wrong, he’s toast. Trump put his trust in the scientists and doctors. These two groups of people are inherently doom and gloom predictors. So now that it’s proven that these folks were horribly wrong, the President has to say, well it would have been a lot worse if we had not enacted the restrictions. He may not be the typical politician, but he is going to cover his ass just like they all do. You can’t believe how hard it was to write that.

I was stunned by what happened next. The State and local leaders, put the clamps down hard on the whole dang economy. They slammed on the brakes and brought this baby to almost a complete stop. It was the classic version of ” overkill”.  One would think, if you believe everything you are told, that the State and local leaders would have taken a pause, stepped back, and said we have a multi faceted challenge here. We have to protect lives, protect the economy, and protect the rights of our citizens. It’s obvious that they did none of those things, instead, they saw it as an opportunity to stick it to the ” big orange man”. You simply can’t interpret in any other way. You can also assume, rightfully so, that every one of these morons violated their oath of office.

I have always been a staunch supporter of the police. I’m starting to rethink that. These guys seem way to eager to become government goons. I was watching the police arrest a father for playing catch with his kids in the park, and I wondered, did they read him his Miranda Rights, or was that trashed along with his first and second amendment rights. It seemed to me, that the proper thing to do considering the circumstances, would have been to ask the fella to please take his kids, and return to his home. Maybe a short lecture concerning protecting his neighbors. But handcuffs, and thrown in a police cruiser??? Then you have the goons in Kentucky fining and harassing church members attending church in their private automobiles. If you’re not outraged by all of this you sure as hell should be. However, kudos to the sheriff in Snohomish County, Washington, that has refused to enforce Governor Inslee’s stay at home order, stating that it is against the Constitution of the United States which he took an oath to protect.

The state governors and local mayors have violated your Constitutional rights. They do not have the authority to do so. Those are guaranteed rights, and a virus does not qualify as a reason to invoke Martial Law. They cannot legally enforce this bullshit shutdown. So, where are all of the protesters? There are some protests cropping up around the nation, but a stunning number of people are perfectly willing to go along, cowering in their homes like scared rabbits. Wake up everyone, the numbers don’t support the severity of these actions. How long are we going to sit back and take this crap. I’m going out and shopping, picking up whatever I need in stores that are open. Yesterday my wife and I bought all new patio furniture and a patio fireplace. I’m picking up groceries and office supplies when I need them. I’m going for walks. I’m going to be outside and whenever I want. I’m semi retired, so I still have income, and I’m going to spend it at the local merchants to try to help these folks as much as I can. The governor can kiss my wrinkly old ass.

This is the perfect analogy of the current Wuhan Virus pandemic. When a tire blows, especially a high performance tire like the one pictured above, the collateral damage can be mind boggling. If you happen to be driving beside a large commercial truck at highway speeds and one of it’s tires blow, your car can sustain serious damage. If you are riding a motorcycle you could very well be killed by the flying debris.

Consider the Wuhan Virus to be equivalent to an actual blow out. The collateral damage that is being generated seems never ending. The sad, and most obvious result, are the deaths of thousands of innocent people that have perished all around the world. Tire blowouts can be caused by a number of things, among which are prior damage to the tire, or  faulty construction. In the case of the Wuhan Virus, all of the indicators say this happened due to lax safety practices. Observers that visited the facility several years ago, cited shoddy and dangerous working conditions. Not exactly what you would expect when handling super dangerous pathogens.

When a tire blows out, it immediately causes panic to the driver when the vehicle is temporarily out of control. That’s exactly what you are witnessing all around the world. People are going in all directions, trying to regain control. Like a blowout, it took everyone completely by surprise. But if you had been warned the tire was going bad, you could have prepared for it. It could have been prevented.

Let’s say you are headed off on a long road trip with your RV, and you know full well your tires are not in the best condition, but you think you can make one more trip before shelling out $2,000.00 for new ones. So, 1,000 miles away from home on a desolate desert highway, it happens, the dreaded blowout. So you throw on the spare and limp into the nearest town with a population of 250 and a truck stop / gas station. Three hours later you pull out with all new tires and a $3,000.00 charge on your credit card. You’ve just been shafted. Virtually everyone of our illustrious leaders knew full well we were not prepared for a full on pandemic, but they took the chance. Now they are faced with huge costs of all sorts, playing catch up. Nobody had a plan in place to deal with it. You’re being shafted again.

Hey folks, this ain’t rocket science. We’ve already been through this once or twice before. It’s not hard to think about the worst thing that could happen with a pandemic and come up with a plan on how to deal with it. All viruses pretty much work in the same way, they are contagious, they make you very sick and possibly kill you. They have the potential to  kill a lot of people. If it’s a virus that looks like it’s going to be unusually deadly, have plan in place that makes sense. We are witnessing government leaders that are completely out of control. It’s very obvious now, that these people are not qualified for the positions they hold. They are morons masquerading as intelligent human beings.

The whole concept of leadership in the governors handbook, seems to have been deleted. In it’s place are several chapters on political activism. If you are a mayor, governor, legislator, judge or president, your focus should be first and foremost on making sure the people in your jurisdiction are provided with the basic services, such as fire, and police, and an infrastructure that provides clean water, electricity, and refuse disposal. Above all of that, you must make certain, their constitutional rights and privileges are not abraded. Of course, the vulnerable among us should always be protected. However, from the federal government to city hall, today’s politicians think it’s their duties to provide services to the population, that the population should be providing for themselves, such as money and food, when the recipients are quite able to work and provide that for themselves.

OK, so now we have had the mother of all blowouts, and our state and local leaders have been so preoccupied with political maneuvering, they forgot the part about making sure our Constitutional rights are protected. Instead of clear headed thinking, they have resorted to political activism once again, to respond to a pandemic that doesn’t give a rats ass about politics. The virus doesn’t choose it’s victims based on political leanings. What should have been done instead of a massive lock down, is that people should have been allowed to go about their everyday lives, but forced to wear protective gear such as face masks, and told to keep their distance from each other as much as possible. I will guarantee you, the population would have obeyed those rules to the tee, the economy would have suffered only slightly, and the number of deaths would not be any higher.

Make no mistake about what happened here. Last year, the mainstream media went on a mission to try and convince people we were headed for a recession. Thinking that at the very least they could cause the economy to cool, and make it harder for Donald Trump to be re-elected. Bill Maher openly said he was praying for a recession to keep Trump from winning a second term. Other lefties echoed those sentiments. When this opportunity presented itself, the Democrats seized the chance, and shut things down tight. The Democrat mayors, and governors made sure they kept the lid on things long enough to do considerable damage to our economy.

There is no other reason for this being blown so far out of proportion. If you haven’t been paying attention, you may not have noticed that Democrats will throw the whole damn country under the bus to get back in power. I told you in the paragraph before this one, they openly admitted it last year. Pelosi and her bunch took the whole government hostage with a fake impeachment charge. Before that, they tried to charge Trump with colluding with the Russians to win the election. Spent three years and millions of taxpayer dollars on a total and complete hoax. So, why would you not believe this is just another attempt to get Trump?

The Democrats are that guy in desert truck stop that knows you’re in trouble, and he has you by by the ^ &#@$, and you have no choice except to pay whatever price he wants for his tires so you can get on with your life. No conscience, no sense of fairness, only greed. That’s what Democrats are all about, you would do well not to forget it.

1. The longer the Democrats can keep a lid on the economy, the more damage they think they can do to Donald Trumps re-election.
2. The longer they can curtail large gatherings, means fewer Trump rallies.
3. The more pain they can inflict on the general public, they feel they have a good chance of pinning it on the President.
4. The longer they can keep Joe Biden under wraps the better.
5. The Democrats will try to use this to monkey with the voting system, such as vote by mail, or some other lame idea so they can manipulate the outcome.
6. The Democrats work day and night to distort the real truth and spin it in their favor.

If a Democrat says it……….it’s a lie, you can bet on it. Especially if it’s one of these two clowns. 

THE SPIRIT OF ’76

One thing you have probably noticed, is that the left is very patient. They are willing work at a particular item on their agenda for years, before actually getting it into place. They patiently wait until they feel the general attitude of the public will accept it, then they push it hard until they can make it happen. When they try getting a particular law passed numerous times, those are trial balloons, to see if you, the public will buy it.

The Democrats have been inching closer and closer to making the transition to socialists for a good number of years, patiently waiting until the time was right to make the push. The Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016 was a trial balloon. The amount of support he was able to garner surprised everyone. He ended up in second place again in the 2020 primaries. The only reason he didn’t go all the way, is the establishment Democrats panicked, and got cold feet. However, what is interesting is that Joe Biden has now morphed into Bernie Sanders.

Anyone that has watched Joe Biden over the past six months, can’t deny that this poor guy has some serious mental issues going on. One can only wonder if the Dems are going to support him all the way to the debate stage knowing it’s going to be a massacre. Joe simply isn’t generating enough excitement for people to pony up campaign contributions, and that has the Dems concerned. That’s why Barrack finally endorsed Joe. It’s all about the Benjamin’s as Ilhan would say.  In his press release, Obama said proudly that Joe Biden was the most progressive candidate the Democrats had ever fielded. ( paraphrased ) Don’t be surprised if the Dems, dump Joe before the Democrat Convention, citing his declining mental health, putting Governor Cuomo in his place.

The Democrats are now feeling that the USA is ripe for pushing the socialist agenda. You can, in large part, give Bernie credit for that, he was the ” tip of the spear ” for the Democrat party, to usher in the new Democrat Socialist Party. I told you several blogs ago, that Bernie was never serious about being President, he was “greasing the rails”. I’m sure you noticed that every Democrat candidate on the debate stage tried to go further left than their competition. They are not trying to conceal this agenda in any way.

Then, China handed the Democrats a wonderful gift, COVID-19. I think it’s safe to say that this so called pandemic, which turns out to be no worse than the seasonal flu, is pretty much going to undo President Trumps economic successes in one fell swoop. The Democrat Governors in the coastal states are not going to let this go to waste, they are going to stretch this out as long as possible to make the impact even worse. They feel if the economy is still in the weeds at election time, Donald Trump will be toast. In the meantime, during all of this chaos, those same Democrat governors are closing down churches, synagogues, gun stores, large gatherings, ( read political rallys ) everything they can to hurt the conservatives. They are stripping you of your Constitutional Rights, as if they were petty despots. They feel this emergency situation has given them power that trumps the Constitution.

Now for the proof they are all liars. The Democrats are saying, they can’t open the economies until the coronavirus is vanquished, because they can’t risk losing more precious lives. The Democrats embrace late term abortions, which literally means killing a living, viable baby. About 650,000 babies were murdered last year by abortionists. That is ten times more lives lost than the predicted 65,000 that will die from coronavirus. Governor Cuomo is the one that keeps touting saving precious lives, he signed the most horrific of all abortion laws last year. THEY ARE ALL LIARS, WITHOUT SOULS. THEIR ONLY INTEREST IS GAINING COMPLETE AND UTTER POWER OVER YOU.

It’s time to resurrect the SPIRIT OF ’76, and take back our states. Tell the power hungry governors to rescind their draconian orders and allow people to go about business as usual. We can do this just like our brave revolutionary forefathers, with protests, and all sorts of civil disobedience. We need to show the Democrats we are not going to herded like cattle to slaughter. Stand up for your Constitutional rights brothers and sisters. Thank God our brave forefathers put liberty before personal safety. For me, Live Free or Die.

This my friends is just the tip of the iceberg. General Motors is not the only large corporation selling it’s soul to the devil. I will be uncovering more, and bring them to you in the near future. This is going to be very difficult to unravel, maybe impossible. Your government gave away the farm. China didn’t just sweep in like a thief in the night, and steal our jobs and wealth. Your past Presidents and Congressmen handed it to them on a silver platter. Don’t blame China, blame the greedy politicians and corporations. Joe Biden who is the presumptive Democrat nominee, is one of those dirty politicians that profited immensely, along with his son Hunter. These people are filthy traitors, that never thought twice about handing over our jobs and factories to the Chinese Communists. They never once considered the devastation that would eventually follow. Even a third grader could have figured that one out. I had it figured out in the 90’s, and I certainly wouldn’t consider myself a mental giant.

These slimey bottom feeders literally gutted our nation, for a short term profit. Well guys, if you think that bought you any long time favors from the commie bastards in China, think again. They wouldn’t hesitate a minute to burn your ass if you caused them one iota of a problem. These guys make Adolph and Joseph look like choir boys.

Looking back at how we, the American people were betrayed by our own government officials makes me sick to my stomach. The miserable sons of bitches need to rot in hell for what they have done to this country. There are quite a few of them still walking the halls of the capitol, and even more sitting on the verandas of the palatial mansions, drawing a very fat pension check every month, on top of the millions they made selling out our nation.

In the meantime, the folks in middle America are sitting in broken down houses, barely able to eat, on the meager amount they get from Social Security. Years ago, life was looking good, they were going to be able to pay off their homes, and have a little money from their pensions to supplement their Social Security checks. They were looking for the day when life would be a little easier. Then the miserable bastards in Washington, gave away their jobs to the commies, and left them with nothing. The stores in their towns are mostly gone, main street is now pretty much a ghost town. If they have any money to buy a new lawn mower or stove, they have to drive to the nearest large city to buy a piece of Chinese crap, because that’s all they sell. This my friends is what you call adding insult to injury.

As if they haven’t done enough damage to our country, these left wing whack jobs, I’m talking about the leftist Democrats, want to literally destroy our economy with more crazy ideas. Crazy ol’ uncle Joe will absolutely do anything to get elected. This man will surround himself with more whack jobs and will totally destroy what’s left of this once glorious country.

America, you better pay real close attention to these worthless pieces of crap politicians. The next few years are going to be absolutely critical for our survival. Something else you need to pay close attention to is the power hungry governors that didn’t think twice about stripping you of your civil liberties. When your governor rushed to take away your Constitutional rights, you need to rush to the polls and throw their sorry asses out of office.

I’m not sure if you noticed, but I am genuinely pissed off about this whole thing. I think back and remember these lying bastards standing at the podium with twenty giant American Flags behind them, telling us how they are going to stand up for America, how they are going to make our lives Utopian, all the time they are selling us out to the highest bidders. I sincerely hope God has prepared a special place for these scumbags.

WAKE UP AMERICA, AND SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

THIS IS FOR YOU BEIJING, AND YOUR AMERICAN MINIONS

 

 

 

 

 

The U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, referred to the Coronavirus outbreak as a “Pearl Harbor Moment”, it’s going to be a “9/11 Moment”.  I really don’t think Dr. Adams realized the gravity of the words he uttered in that interview.

The death toll in the attack on Pearl Harbor was 2,403, 68 of those were civilians. The 9/11 attack killed 2,977 people. The total number of dead in both attacks add up to 5,380. This number is absolutely pale in comparison to the total number killed by COVID-19. At the writing of this blog, 114,247 have died worldwide. That’s Pearl Harbor and 9/11, times 21.

Just for the record, America has never suffered such and attack, and not mounted a very strong response. There is no reason to believe this will be different. America the ” giant,” has been napping if you will, for a number of years in regards to China. While he was napping, a lot of bad actors were robbing him blind. But this latest attack has awakened the giant, and he will begin to focus his attention on retrieving his stolen riches.

China has shown total disregard for the world by deliberately allowing it’s citizens to travel to the four corners of the earth, spreading this deadly virus. This is the epitome of a bad neighbor, and it will not go unpunished. I am not suggesting this will result in a “hot war” but make no mistake, this will result in some very severe economic actions by the U.S., and hopefully our NATO allies will join the battle.

China played it’s hand just like Japan did in 1941. Japan was sure the surprise attack which seriously damaged our Pacific Fleet would weaken our Naval Forces and make it possible for them to dominate the Pacific, and take over all of the islands making them stepping stones to America’s front door. They seriously underestimated American fortitude and industrial might.

China, in my opinion, believed this surprise attack on the U.S. and western economy would be the death knell, and we would not be able to recover from it, and remain in a weakened state for years. Allowing China to surge forward with their plans to become the number one economy in the world. Why would they think that? The reason is clear. China feels that way, because they have successfully coerced manufacturers of almost every conceivable necessity to set up shop in within their borders, while the dimwits in the U.S. have willingly closed down domestic production and shuttered factories. The “tell tale” evidence of the truth to what I am saying, came a few weeks ago, when the Chinese Communist party threatened to withhold medical supplies if we didn’t stop blaming this COVID-19 mess on them.

In the coming months, you will see enormous pressure put on American companies doing business in China to bring their factories back home. You will see the government offering very attractive tax incentives to entice them. I wouldn’t doubt that you will see the government subsidize these moves to make it even more attractive. This is why it is so important for Donald Trump be re-elected for another four year term. He has proven he is not afraid to stand up to China, and he more than anyone else has the ability to rebuild America’s manufacturing base. Rebuilding our factories is the key to winning this war. Our factories are the economic engine that will propel us to new heights and allow the United States of America to remain the solitary beacon of freedom and the ultimate force against tyranny in the world.

When this happens, when America once again flexes it’s industrial muscle, the Chinese economy will quickly shrink. The reason this will surely happen, is because the largest consumer of Chinese goods is, you guessed it, the U.S.A. Think about this in the next few days, and try to find something you bought in the past 10 years, that wasn’t made in China, in whole, or part. This is why, this is a battle we must win, we cannot fail. You would not believe how deeply embedded General Motors has become in China. Do your research, there is a video on You Tube that details it quite nicely. It’s absolutely shocking how many other good old American companies are in bed with the Chinese.

This war is not going to be won easily or quickly, and may be a little painful before it’s over. But it must be won. You need to do your part by researching the products you intend to buy, and whenever possible, buy American. You may be helping win the battle by buying a Toyota over a Chevrolet ( can’t believe I said that ) because the Toyota has much more domestic content. The same goes for Honda. If you’re a builder, make sure you buy domestic products whenever possible. Just like we did in WWll, everyone pulled together to defeat the oppressors. We can do it again. But, a very key part of this, is electing a leader, that is willing to do the hard thing. Donald Trump has exhibited he is willing work hard for this nation, and it’s obvious he loves the American people and wants the very best for them.

The gravity of what will happen if the economy is closed too long cannot be overstated. The economy must be re-started quickly, even if a few more die from the virus. There is a threshold, nobody knows exactly where it is, but if the economy is shuttered beyond that threshold, the damage to our nation will be unfathomable, and the Chinese will be victorious. It simply must not happen.

BREAD LINE IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION

For a totally different perspective on what is really happening, I am inviting you to read the article in the link below. The author says we have been “punked” by some very smart folks.

VERITAS VINCIT   ~   LIVE FREE OR DIE

I have been researching some numbers regarding how people die for a couple of days in preparation for this blog. Tucker Carlson beat me to the punch tonight on his show. But, I’m not going to be discouraged because I think it’s important to think about it.

The numbers that you will see shortly are roughly the same year after year. They vary based on how society behaves in regards to each category. Why this is more important than usual right now, is because we have shuttered our economy and social activities based on a virus that is killing a lot of our citizens. Why this matters is obvious, it is going to be very, very costly in terms of jobs, businesses, and families suffering great financial hardship. The question is also obvious…..was it worth it? You can decide for yourselves.

It is now projected based on the latest information, that about 60-75,000 people will die from COVID-19. These latest numbers are based on our experience with what we have seen, not on models that were constructed using projections based on theory, and conjecture. This new number is without question, much lower due the very extreme restrictions on how people went about their daily lives.

Here is the part that baffles me. Alcohol and drug overdoses kill about 160,000 people per year, pretty consistently. That’s over twice the amount we expect to die from COVID-19. So where is the panic, where is the outrage? Apparently everyone seems to accept these deaths as ” no big deal “, or is there some other reason here? Are the alcoholics and drug users not considered worth saving? Seems that maybe there is a little self righteousness afoot here. Why aren’t these folks as important as the victims of a pandemic. Seems to me like alcohol and drugs are pretty close to a pandemic. Could it be those addicted to these drugs have to pay heavy taxes on them? It’s very obvious that legalization of marijuana had very much to do with the revenue to the states. How do I know this, because the State of Oregon and Washington, were so excited about the new stream of revenue, they didn’t even have the the regulatory laws fully in place before allowing the sale of pot. That’s another story for another day.

In 2018, 40,000 people were killed in auto crashes, and another 4.5 million were seriously injured. How many of those accidents were caused in part from drug and alcohol usage?

Maybe, the general attitude is, that these people are doing this harm to themselves, and the victims of COVID-19 are totally innocent victims. Maybe that’s why there isn’t an urgent rush to save the substance abusers from their own misdeeds. So, one can only surmise that your lifestyle, determines how important your life is.

Here is another twist in this whole thing that is becoming apparent. A great percentage of the folks dying from COVID-19 are morbidly obese, with all of the other factors that go with that condition, such as hypertension, and diabetes. You can yell and scream at me all you want, but obesity is caused by one thing, and one thing only. Over eating. These folks are addicted to food, just the same as an alcoholic, or methamphetamine user, is addicted to their drug of choice. It may sound cruel, but I once had a friend that made this point by saying, ” there aren’t any fat people in concentration camps “.

So, how many folks are dying from food addiction every year? I don’t think anyone actually knows. The reason nobody knows, is that if you did such a study, you would probably be banished to some desert island for body shaming. It’s politically incorrect to even suggest such a thing. If you call somebody fat on Face Book, you’ll be banned, ask my wife.

So, here we are, we have literally shut down the entire United States, because we will end up losing about the same number of folks to COVID-19 as we did last year to the everyday ” run of the mill ” influenza. You can easily make the case that COVID was way more contagious, and I would concur. However, now that we understand that, my little pea brain says OK, we go back to work with some very unusual measures, like wearing masks, gloves, and stay out of each others faces.

I think you have probably figured out by now, that I think this was a little over the top in the response, maybe not. Time will tell. But there is one glaring message that comes from all of this. It matters how you die, whether your fellow citizens think you’re worth saving or not. Sometimes life is just plain cruel and unjust. It’s not likely to change based on the history I’m looking at.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF A REGULAR GUY. I’M A REGULAR GUY BUT NOT THIS GUY. I’M WAY BETTER LOOKING AND HAVE MORE HAIR.  

Keep in mind, most of what you read in my blogs are just my opinions, based on what I see and hear. I see and hear a lot, so I just kind of pick and choose what sounds like truth, and omit what I think are lies. So you will probably rarely ever hear me repeat anything from the lame stream media, or any of the major newspapers which are also filled with lies. However, when I am writing about something that is actually factual, I do my research and try to get it as right as possible. You always have the option of calling me out, if you think I misrepresented something. I welcome that.

THE NUMBERS GAME: I live in Oregon, where the Chinese Virus seems to be pretty much in control. The reason is pretty simple really, all of those areas where the virus is on a rampage are places that people are interested in seeing and being there, because of the activities and excitement. That’s not Oregon. People come to Oregon to hike in the woods, ski, and paddle around in kayaks. So when the governor closed everything down, that pretty much happened in about 45 minutes. This is the time of the year when most Oregonians are holed up in their houses anyway, the weather hasn’t made it transition to spring yet when the rain gets warmer.

I don’t think the summer is going to be any big deal anyway, I think the virus is going to kill most everything that we do for fun, allow me to explain. The virus seems to infect about 3 in one thousand give or take. So any large sporting event, with, say an attendance of 30,000 will have about 90 infected folks in attendance. Each one of those folks will infect perhaps 4 other folks in their proximity. Now, 360 folks are infected. Those 360 folks perhaps infect two or three more, now you have possibly over a thousand folks infected. As you can see, the numbers grow very quickly. So, unless this virus is completely under control by June, I’m thinking it’s going to be a pretty damned boring summer kids. You probably should take up Kayaking, and forget about MLB and Nascar.

BETO O’ ROURKE: I was looking through my photo files yesterday and saw him and Willie Nelson together. I hope and pray, this guy opens up a chain of pot shops, and disappears forever from the political spectrum. God help us if this moron every gets in position of power. He could name his chain of pot shops, the New Green Deal. 

 2020 ELECTIONS: I could be wrong ( that wouldn’t be unusual ) but I’m pretty sure the President will be re-elected for a second term. But holy cow, will the Republicans please mount an all out offensive to take back the House of Representatives! I can’t take another two years of that bunch of insane Democrats, being lead by the “bat shit crazy Pelosi. I’m not sure who is more incoherent, her or “crazy uncle Joe”.  Every time they blink their eyes, they wake up in a new world. Then there’s Adam, what a piece of work this guy is. Adam Shiff reminds me of the back street lawyers you see in the movies. The ones the bad guys go to see to get something “fixed”. He’s always sitting in a small dark office wearing a cheap suit, with a cigarette burning in an ash tray. Yep, that’s Adam.

GOVERNOR CUOMO:  Can this guy talk without whining? I can’t take him seriously, he just whines and whines. His theme song is Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me. He wouldn’t exactly win the award for being a forward thinker either.

” CRYIN’ ” CHUCK SCHUMER:  I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m pretty sure he is the only Senate Minority leader to ever publicly threaten not one, but two sitting Supreme Court Justices simultaneously. This just happens to be a serious crime. If you did it, you would be reading my blog in your jail cell. By the way, you probably noticed that Democrats don’t go the jail, or get charged with crimes, only Republicans do. If Hillary had been a Republican, she would be in Rikers right now.

THE LARGEST EXAMPLE OF “SCREW YOU” IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD: The Chinese Communist leaders, allowing thousands of  COVID-19 positive Chinese citizens to fan out all around the world, taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and wrecking the world economy. Will they ever have to face any retribution for this? Sure, when Hillary pays for the crap she’s done, which will be never.

Think about those rotten commies in Beijing, while you’re stuck in your homes, watching your 401K go down the drain with your savings while you try to keep food on the table for your family. Think about those commie assholes that are responsible for your fellow Americans dying a horrible death from this crap. Think about the greedy corporations and politicians that allowed our industries to be relocated and controlled by the rotten commies. Think about the rotten commies that have threatened to cut off our medical supplies during these horrible times. There are only a few politicians with the balls to stand up to the rotten commies and bring our industries back home, and cut ties with China. Not a single one of them have a D behind their names. Don’t forget this in November.
