What, exactly did shutting the country down for 3 months do for us?

It flattened the curve….I get that. But if we are never gonna reopen, then what is the use?

As states reopen of course there are gonna be new cases. That was a given. Until we get a vaccine, or we reach “Herd Immunity” (which requires that people be exposed to this disease) then this is a natural consequence.

So what, exactly, was the plan? To keep everyone on lockdown until some indeterminate date in the future? (Nov 3 2020?) or simply until there is a vaccine ready for widespread distribution?

Or did the nations health authorities think there was gonna be some other result of allowing people to interact again?

I mean, the original “Lockdown” was supposed to “flatten the curve” and last for 2 or so weeks…..that morphed into 3 months….What was the plan for the future?

Were the preceding three months simply a waste of time and economic damage?

So Illinois is doing more and more testing per day. 

You know, find another company that would put up with their Social Justice-ing bullshit and whatnot.

Of course, they’d lose all the BIg Union benefits of working for Ford as well.

But, hey, they are the ones that think that Ford should stop building police cars.
‘Cause that will help so much to fix the Racial Injustice that is so terribly prevalent.

What I would ask, has happened that these Union Workers think that they have the right to tell their employer what products they can and cannot produce?

One might think that, if Black Lives Matter so much (that they think that stopping the production of police cars would be any more than a symbolic gesture), that they haven’t done anything to stop the violence in Black sections of the larger (and often not so large) cites….I mean, so far this year the folks on the South (and now West) side of Chicago (pretty much 100% of African descent) have killed more black people in Chicago alone that all the police in the entire NATION have this year. .

But hey, stopping the production of Police Cars will help so much.

Here’s a hint: Stop breaking laws/ Best way to not get crosswise with the Po-po If yer arrested, stop fighting, that keeps the 5-0 from either tazering or shooting or otherwise damaging you. Keeps the Hickory off of your melon as well.  On other words, don’t make the situation worse.

Yes, I know, that’s “Raciss” of me to point out the above. But ask any cop, they’ll tell you, it is true. One racial group keeps fighting. 

I mean, about 30 days ago we were told that there was a sudden increase in Covid “Cases” (there is some evidence that they are mixing positive antibody tests in with positive infection tests to get the increase in “cases”, but let us put that aside for a moment).

If we had all these “record number of new cases” that spiked about 30 days ago (oddly time coincident (15 or so days after) the George Floyd looting riots protests then would one not expect to see a rise in DEATHS from covid-19 about 30 days after the “spike” in cases? We should be seeing that spike in deaths starting about a week ago……and I can’t seem to find it. Nor can I find, with the exception of Arizona (Phoenix) a coincident rise in hopsitalizations to correspond with the spike in cases.

Either we have already killed off the folks who were most likely to catch and die from Covid, the virus has weakened, or we are being lied to about the sudden spike in cases. 

I know which one I would choose to believe. What say you? 

The fact that the guy in Seattle who drove the wrong way up a ramp, after going past police blocking the road (so that the protesters could  black the roads safely?)  and struck two women who were protesting something related to the George Floyd incident/Black lives Matter (“Black Femme March takes I-5”)….

The women struck were WHITE.
The man driving the Jaguar (obviously an oppressed minority person) was….black. The CAR was white, however, even if the driver wasn’t.

The driver…wan’t a white supremacist, not a Right Wing nutball.

But the media is trying the best to make you believe otherwise.

It ain’t news anymore, but propaganda disguised as news. 

Black lives mattering, I mean….

Seems that young black child (8 years old) was killed in a  shooting in a Birmingham Alabama mall.

Seems 2 crowds of black males were having a “Verbal Disagreement” when they shot at each other. apparently hitting only 4 bystanders, all black (and missing their intended targets).

Black Lives Matter, sure they do, but only when the black life happens to be a criminal who is being restrained or arrested by the police. I don’t see any marches across the country for young Royta Giles, who was 8 years old. I don’t see any riots in protest, nor whites and blacks walking hand in hand and blocking streets in protest. I don’t see wall to wall coverage by the media either. I strongly doubt that there will be 6 funerals like George Floyd got, in different parts of the country, I bet no one donates a bronze coffin, and Al Sharpton won’t travel in to speak at his funeral. There won’t be any TV coverage of his memorial service, either.

I bet there won’t be any TV coverage of the funerals of Natalia Wallace from the South Side of Chicago, nor of the funeral of Vernado Jones….both of whom were killed by other black people in drive-by shootings over the Independence Day weekend. (Nor of the other 14 people killed on the South Side over that weekend either. I will bet good hard cash that Al Sharpton won’t speak at their funerals, nor will they get nice shiny caskets for their burials either.

So when DO  “Black Lives Matter”? Only when a white cop is involved? Enquiring Minds and all that.

(and that is only two cities….how many more “Black Lives” were ended by other black people this weekend? Where is the outcry?) Oddly, this doesn’t happen nearly as often in neighborhoods with other demographics.

That’s why they shot over 60, killed 13, 2 of the dead are children. 

Because Black Lives Matter.

It is interesting that Black people on the South side of Chicago have killed over 40 times as many black people as the police have this year in Chicago.
But Black Lives Matter.

Police are the problem. White people are the problem. It’s not the issues with Black society or culture that causes them to be losers in the lottery of life.

What a total bunch of horseshit.

I can’t wait for what happens in predominantly black neighborhoods in those (liberal) cities that disband their police departments. 

(I saw someone else post about this a few weeks ago, and had to try it….)

Some clerks are just unable to think.

So there I was at the meat market.

Chicken legs on sale. I needed something to grill for Independence Day.

The young, mostly decorative, female clerk behind the counter asked if she could help me.

“yeah, are these chicken legs front legs or back legs?”

“I don’t know…But I’ll find out!” she said brightly

She went to ask an adult.

He looked at her if she was entirely stupid (which she apparently is) and then looked at me……I smiled. He laughed.  the said “he’s messing with you”, Chickens have wings in front”.

She wasn’t very happy once the light dawned.

I bought 4 lbs of drumsticks for the Independence Day weekend cookout. They cooked up nicely.

Thing is, she will likely be able to vote this November.
Scary.

The date on the “Declaration of Independence” is today. The day that a group of people declared themselves separate and no longer subservient to a King. In some respects, the day that a Nation was conceived.

One wonders what those men, some who truly gave up their “Lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” would think of the current events that are happening in our country today.

Personally, I think they’d weep at the crap that the Media is pushing and that the governments and corporations are kowtowing to.

Having said that, until the liberals and Free Shit Army totally fucks us all, this is still the best place in the world to live. A little less the best nearly every day, for sure every time another standard is worn away or a rule of society is discarded, but the US stood so far above every other country on this earth that despite 40+ years of ever increasing erosion of our society it is still better than anywhere else.

If it weren’t for the prosperity our Constitution allows even the “poor” and the productivity of most of our citizens, the ability to protest, to have the TIME to protest, the energy to protest would not exist for these childish people that want to change the society that gives them their luxury to protest without fear of death or incarceration. They would be working and struggling so hard simply to survive that they would have neither the time nor the energy to protest.

Our forefathers would have dealt with them in a harsher manner.

Happy Independence Day, everyone. Please remember why it is a holiday. Thank all those men who made the declaration of Independence go from a simple piece of paper to reality.
But above all, thank those men who had the courage to put their name to that document and defy the King of England.

No go and stay home under government orders to celebrate you independence from tyranny.

Coronavirus cases, I mean.

So then, what exactly did the last three months do to help the “Pandemic”? Was the plan all along for us to fort up and never come out? To stay home and give up on our way of life until sometime next year (maybe) when a vaccine is (possibly) developed? To destroy our economy?

Remember, the original plan to “flatten the curve” was for just two weeks. Just to “Flatten the Curve”. That was what? 3 months ago? Did those three months really gain us anything? Doesn’t appear so.

The way I figure it, the Coronavirus episode will be over 12 hours after November 3, 2020….one way or another.
