The bizarre handling of Coronavirus and the obvious destruction of the United States of America......

I find myself seventy three years old here in Pittsburgh and deeply worried about the present and future of our country.

As the days go by the problems ahead for the nation seem bleaker.

My wife and I are Trump people yet this entire ugly event seems bigger and more evil than even he and his administration can solve.

The quote below sums up the feeling I have about how the American people are being treated. I really cannot see a way out of this. The evil plan to destroy our country seems too big and well planned. I hope I am wrong.

Any thoughts?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.”

”This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

-- C.S. Lewis

As an aside, one question we might want to ask is, “Are people dying WITH coronavirus, or are people dying FROM coronavirus?

"Watching Laura Ingraham and she is playing clips where Dr Doom is basically setting up the extension into May and June. depressing as hell. We will no longer have a country at that point. If some areas are not opening in May l see no way around a full on depression.

It’s Cloward-Piven on steroids!!

//////

There are two sleazeball names from the Hall of Shame. Here is a story on the old coot Piven.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/nyregion/frances-fox-piven-democratic-socialism.html

This 86-Year-Old Radical May Save (or Sink) the Democrats
Frances Fox Piven has become the intellectual guru of activist progressives. But not everyone is ready to storm the barricades with her.

“Since the 1970s, everything has gotten worse and worse,” said Ms. Piven, who is now 86. There were very clear reasons for this. “Poor people,” she said, had been “humiliated” and “shut up.” Those in power now are “crazy.”

“But they’re also evil,” she continued. “And they will be evil because they are greedy.” Only one thing would stop them, she said. “We have to be noisy, and difficult and ungovernable.”

I agree with your post. We are well on our way to Communism

The only reason I did not watch last night is because it was past my bedtime. But I am most definitely interested.
The local church is watching this through spiritual lens. And we are stunned.

Dr. David Price, NY hospital doc, did a fantastic, low-key vid talk yesterday.

He recommended a mask NOT because it will “keep you from the virus,” because China Virus is NOT transmitted through the air unless someone is coughing right in your face. It’s by “extended, long term contact” with someone who has it. But he recommended a mask as a means of keep YOU from TOUCHING YOUR OWN FACE and nose and mouth.

Hand-to-face transmission is the main way this China Virus is transmitted. The mask is “practice,” in his words.

Personally, I think this will be over by July. Entirely. And I mean the economy will be roaring.

1) Think of all the industries right now that are booming. I went to Wal-Mart and the bikes were sold out! So anyone making bicycles is having a field day.
2) Pet food largely sold out. Pet food producers going crazy.
3) Farmers and food fuppliers will be backlogged for two or three months.
4) All sanitizer, medical suppliers, alcohol suppliers, etc are booming.
5) ALL construction sites I pass are booming. Lots of people working.

Then, when the rest of the economy comes on board, it’s gonna explode.

This is why yesterday’s consumer confidence was 122 when they expected it to fall to 110. People know there is a boom around the corner.

Amen. If our Founders were alive today they would wonder why in Heavens name we hadn’t done so already. By God that’s how they would handled these worthless Democrats. And a few of the Republicans too.

"I think it’s nuts to believe that everyone who has been in government-related positions for a long time is necessarily ABSOLUTELY ROTTEN AND UNTRUSTWORTHY." --- Certainly not "everyone, but maybe the majority.

"That attitude only causes noise and disruption at a time like this; and it’s very unfair to many public servants of great integrity." ---- Then that "noise" should be ignored by the wonderful and able public servants. /s

"Do you trust President Trump’s judgment and his ability to steer us through this, or do you not?" ----- He has great judgment and ability. However, he is just one man...

Every recession/depression has boom industries. In the 1930s, Hollywood expanded-—cuz it was cheap entertainment.

Hollywood apparently doesn’t see the opportunity here for mass new audiences staying home without a lot to do. If they would drop their streaming prices to $4.99, they could go wild.

No, they can’t produce new stuff right now, but they could completely empty their current inventory.

“Wuhan is bad for the Left. Liberal-left causes such as open borders, global warming and gun control are out of favor, as is political correctness; leftist-dominated schools and universities are shuttered, and the nation is rallying around President Trump.”

And don’t forget they’re having to admit their precious cloth grocery bags are germ factories — petri dishes.

Also, Wuhan is bad for the left ‘cause most deaths occur where liberal voters live.

Wear a mask for the exact same reason hospital staff does.

Last week I ran across a nice, nearly full box of masks we used to use on the job ---

I'm going to use them as you say. Feeling a little vulnerable these days.

Better take my MAGA hat off when I go to the store.
