Truly Magnificent
See for yourself.
There is a cost/benefit analysis to this, and it’s not “If it saves just one life…”

30 people are killed by lightning every year. But we don’t shut down the outdoors. Or even generally mandate lightning rods. 40,000 killed on the highways. Still we drive. 3,500 drownings, yet we don’t shut the pools, lakes and beaches. Another several hundred boating deaths. And yet, boat shows.
You can ruin peoples health by impoverishing them, too. Not to mention the mental health issues with a Perma-Panic. We’ll know a lot more in a week. Even more in two weeks. But this can’t go on like this for ever-diminishing returns. A free people won’t accept it–nor should they.
Americans are not going to sit in their houses all summer absent a real, provable self-evident threat. And the President is not going to let this drag on and on and on absent the same. He just won’t.
I don’t fault Americans. They are not cowards for wanting to protect their families by listening to their gold-plated government. But they work for us. Forgetting that fact is what got them Trump. If they try to prolong this for politics, they’re playing with dynamite. The President’s economy was so stellar that it took a world-wide pandemic and a national shutdown to bring it back just to Obama levels.

That’s not good enough for this President. He won’t allow it. Watch.
UPDATE: Schumer and Pelosi reneged on the bill designed to help stressed-out Americans in favor of rigging elections, funding illegal aliens, abortionists and their fellow thieves, the lobbyists who give them kickbacks. The virus isn't killing enough children so Democrats are fixing that. They think they can pass anything in this crisis, so why not steal all they can grab?
We're calling their bluff.
Legal Insurrection: "Senate Majority Leader McConnell tore Pelosi a new one from the Senate floor and then moved to schedule a revote for 9:45 AM, 15 minutes after the markets open. Brutal. That was until Schumer refused to allow such an early vote. Government is truly the worst. Businesses are dying and desperate, we have no idea how many Americans have been laid off, furloughed, or otherwise unemployed, unable to work or make money during this mess, and Democrats are balking over ideological wish lists."
Schumer stalled it again by invoking the rule that the Senate doesn't start working until noon. If by "working", you mean "stealing".
That's right; these bastards don't even start working until most Americans are halfway through with their workday. If they still had a f*cking workday. These useless c*cksuckers will probably go on vacation next. Paid vacation.
That's our National Disgrace Congress in inaction.
Prof. Hanson:
"So who is important and who not?
We were often told globalized elites on the coast were the deserved 21st-century winners, while the suckers and rubes in-between had better learn coding or head to the fracking fields.
But who now is more important than the trucker who drives 12-hours straight to deliver toilet paper to Costco? Or the mid-level manager of Target who calibrates supply and demand and is on the phone all day juggling deliveries before his store opens? Or the checker at the local supermarket who knows that the hundreds of customers inches away from her pose risks of infection, and yet she ensures that people walk out with food in their carts? The farmworker who is on the tractor all night to ensure that millions of carrots and lettuce don’t rot? The muddy frackers in West Texas who make it possible that natural gas reaches the home of the quarantined broker in Houston? The ER nurse on her fifth coronavirus of the day who matter-of-factly saves lives?"...….
Take steps to protect yourself
Clean your hands often
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
Take steps to protect others
Stay home if you’re sick
- Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to do if you are sick.
Cover coughs and sneezes
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
- Throw used tissues in the trash.
- Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Wear a facemask if you are sick
- If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.
- If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.
Clean and disinfect
- Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
- If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
We have 15 critical days to slow the spread of Coronavirus.
STRONG & UNITED, WE WILL PREVAIL! GOD BLESS THE USA!!
UPDATE: "I'd love to have it open by Easter."
Amen! |
