I'm a pandemic skeptic. I know that the Wuhan virus is real and dangerous for some people. Still, I cannot get excited about a disease with an average 99% survival rate. I believe that the Democrats weaponized the virus to defeat President Trump, and I think Democrats are still working the virus to weaken working- and middle-class Americans (i.e., Trump-supporters) while enriching the Democrats' corporate cronies. I'm cynical, paranoid, or a realist — or all three. This weekend, information emerged supporting my viewpoint.
We keep being told that Americans are dying like flies, far in excess of their normal numbers. I accept that there are excess deaths. I'm sure that the virus increased our annual death rate in spring, when many elderly people died in the first wave after Democrat governors trapped them in retirement homes and then sent in infected people. I'm also sure that more Americans are dying from cancer, heart disease, depression, suicide, murder, and spousal abuse thanks to the cruelty of the lockdowns.
What offsets all this is that fewer Americans are dying from the flu. That's either because masks help prevent the flu (although we're told our mask use is all wrong for stopping the virus) or because a lot of the deaths marked as Wuhan virus deaths are in fact flu deaths...

I truly believe that it they succeed in stealing the November election (plus the GA runoffs), our country as we know it will be lost forever.
Our grandchildren will grow up in a country that will become fully socialist, if not worse. The comprehensive “globalist” mindset will prevail, and in a couple generations no one will even remember the America that POTUS has been trying to make great again. It makes me angry and sad.
Writers keep using headline queations that answer themselves.
Why?
(Because they are uncreative navel gazers..)
In the USA, we’re the last country that believes individual rights come first, that the best interests of the collective are individual rights and that they supersede the will of the collective.
This virus is being used to reprogram us, to teach us that not complying with the will of the collective makes you selfish...and therefore, a bad person.
What is so problematic is that large segments of the population do not realize this and they’re willing to give up their liberties for some perceived increase in temporary safety. ...so as the phrase goes, they deserve nothing.
We are handing to them the very power they want that was exactly what the Constitution was designed to curb. They’re not going to give it back either. Notice how we went from “flatten the curve” to the “new normal” and everything, all our rights being taken away at the discretion of the government, is now “open ended”.
This is so unconstitutional AND EVIL that Washington D.C. is beyond saving. As we stand right now we do not have a Constitutional Republic.
Biggest hoax in history of mankind
I have two kids in their mid/late 20’s that are just starting out into their professional lives. It scares the hell out of me what they will have to live with.
They have to weaken Trump’s stronger middle class.
I noticed today the front page of our daily rag newspaper. No Covid count banner across the top of the page, like they’ve been doing every day since March. I wonder why that is? 🤔 So weird, right?
I have a friend who believed it was no worse than the flu and would go away after the election. (He still owes me a steak dinner on that claim.) -He is now singing a different tune. It hit him about 2 weeks ago. It has been the worst experience he’s ever endured. While he’s improving, he’s not out of the woods. Wasn’t high risk. And about 2 days before he started having symptoms, he wanted to get together. Thankfully I was busy and didn’t agree to get together. I am high risk.
I will gladly accept the NSS award. Thanks! LOL
It's not a hoax, it's real. The Mayor of our little town is holding on by a thread in the hospital as we speak. Been in the hospital for 15 days and a ventilator for 7 of those days.
I am Mayor pro tem and acting Mayor as of now. So I am very concerned.
Makes sense. Covid is dangerous to just enough folks like your mayor to scare the pants off the rest of the nation. The hoax is the fear mongering. 1,000 bed hospital ship in NY unused. 1,000 bed hospital ship in LA unused. 2,750 bed temporary hospital at Chicago convention center unused.
I agree. Notice that the first cases of adverse reactions to the vaccine are already starting to appear ... won’t be on the nightly fake news.
You are welcome! Merry Christmas!
If you’re just now asking that question, you haven’t been paying attention.
There are three new babies in my family, all less than a year old; it frightens me what will be taught in the schools when they start school.
Agree. Seems to range from nothing to death and everything inbetween. I never gave it much attention until it got Herman Cain. For some reason his death deeply touched me. I know he was a cancer survivor, but he seemed so vibrant.
