Once is happenstance….

Twice is coincidence.

Three times? 
I fully expect the ABCBSNBCSN/CNN group to start bleating this mistruth to us shortly. 
So it began a week ago on Ms. Misfit’s “Orange Man Bad” blog.
The meme that all these people died because, (of course) Trump somehow failed to act quickly enough….Despite the fact that when he began to act, the (ahem) “loyal opposition” decried every step he took as too much, too soon, worthless or ineffective, etc. 
And the number she used, which she apparently got from the New York Times (who “estimated that using some pretty sketchy data) was 50,000 dead. 
Then, yesterday, I got 4 robocalls from liberal and/or Democratic politicians claiming. that Trump’s inaction caused many deaths and we should do something about it. 
Today, 6 calls (so far) also doing the same bleating that Trump, through his inaction, had caused many deaths. and this whole coronavirus debacle is his (and his alone) fault. 
2 issues: 
I am not even in the district for these politicians…..I am on the Do Not Call list, which oddly enough, the politicians carved out an exemption for themselves on when they did that legislation….
Second, all of the above politicians have chosen to ignore the slew of deaths  (around 36 thousand, BTW….40% of the total) that were nursing home residents in both New York and in Michigan where their (very) blue, Democrat, governors forced nursing homes to admit (or re-admit) patients that had tested positive for coronavirus, spreading that disease to a most vulnerable population…the elderly. Odd, innit, how that is ignored. 36,000 deaths that can be laid at the feet of Cuomo and Whitmer…but they don’t mention that
This must, of course, just be coincidence…couldn’t be a planned misinformation campaign. Never happen. 
I mean, there is partisan, there is twisted presentation, then there is mistruths and outright lies. 
You figure out which this meme is, or what it will morph into.  

Feelin’ special.

It used to be “gluten intolerant” wher folks had never been tested for Celiac’s disease, but foloowed the trend…

Now the big words people seem to use to feel special atre “immune compromised”.

Which means nothing, really.

Except it is another excuse not to do something and to feel special.

I’ve asked several folks what they mean when they say “immune compromised” and they all get pissy ’cause they don’t really know. It’s just a phrase they use to feel part of the herd, only moreso than the rest of us….

Out of nothing

As I suspected:

 ‘I mean the two-metre rule was conjured up out of nowhere.’ 

The above pretty much describes the entire response to the Covid-19 “Pandemic” by those we pay to keep us safe…..Making shit up as they went along, and following what others did with no science whatsoever.

And I still want to know how a 2 week “Flatten the Curve” became 2 or more moths of “lockdown” (that wasn’t a lockdown)…and why Target and Wal-Mart  and car dealerships are “safe” when other places (like barbershops, and restaurants) are not….

Plus from comments a few posts down, there is THIS…all based on a high school paper done by a 14 year old girl.

So, again, pretty much no science nor logic involved in the decisionmaking process. 

Y’know,

I have read the Constitution. Over and over. A copy of it hangs on my hallway wall.

And nowhere in those (to me) sacred words do I see anything that says “These rights are invalid because some person claims an emergency”,

Just sayin’.

There is intelligent choices and smart behavior, but in the end the Federal, State, and local governments don’t get to subvert the Constitution. 

I’d like to see the “science”

So where, exactly did the whole 6 foot distancing thing come from?

Was it determined by a study? Did that study take into account air currents?
I’d like to see the science behind the choice of 6 foot as the appropriate distance….especially indoors and at restaurants and such.

Or was that just something else that the CDC made up on the fly?

Anyone know?

And yet they never mention mosques

The Chicago Media is pushing the fact that attending churches exposes the attendees to an easy vector for Coronavirus. They are actively discouraging the public from attending church services.

The City has already done all it can do to inhibit church services. 

Yet, oddly, there is no such discouragement of mosque attendance. Never has been all through this “crisis”. Either it was (and is) a political “third rail” or the city administration doesn’t care if the muslims pass Covid-19 to each other.

Or they know that the risk is low, and they simply don’t think the political fallout is worth the hassle they would get from Muslims and their organizations….whereas the Christians won’t threaten to do scary things or scream loudly about “discrimination” and garner bad press.

(It would be interesting to see what the infection rate is for the mosque attendees, compared to those folks who did not attend church)

Shocked, shocked, I tell ya!

Seems that Second Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the gunman in the Pensacola Naval station shooting in December of 2019 was, communicating with terrorist groups.

The gunman in last year’s deadly shooting at a military base in Florida was regularly in touch with Al Qaeda for years, including the night before the attack, the country’s top law enforcement officials said on Monday.

File this under “Duh, we already knew that, but the media and the Politically Correct crowd didn’t wanna admit it”.

Knowingly following illegal orders

Second City Cop shows us why we can’t trust the police:

The Police are now trespassing on private property and interfering with private contractual rights, not to mention grossly violating the Constitution. They are making our legal case better by the minute.

Seems that the CPD is blocking parking lots to churches to prevent these folks from exercising their right to worship. The CPD cops KNOW that they are violating Constitutional rights (and private property rights) and are doing so illegally because a Mayor tells them to do so.

“Just Following Orders”.

Of course, in doing so to Christian worshipers they know that it is relatively safe….The City has NOT shut down any mosques where worship takes place daily, nor are they shutting down the street parties and the party houses on the south and west sides that happen every weekend….Only the predominantly white, christian folks get this treatment.

So how can police officers, knowing that they are following illegal orders, still do what their bosses tell them? Aren’t they violating their oaths?

It is a short step (figuratively) from this to herding folks into boxcars, really.
