“Ask Farci”

Data is now all “anecdotal” to Emperor Fauci. He can’t possibly change his tune, “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds” thing.

Trump can’t fire him, but should bench him.

I’m not sure why this is believable.

The kids at home now are at home a good part of the day, every day, school or not, anyway.

And we know “child abuse” can be anything anymore from raising your voice to denying a child cookies before dinner.

And we know the msm lies through its teeth constantly.

And we know the organized education system has already voiced its fear of loosing ground and dollars to home ed.

Pesonally, I’m at the point where on any issue related to this lockdown thing my initial and default reaction is...

Uh huh.
Cool story, bro.

Jew didn’t I hear a couple of doctors in Bakersfield California talking about this?
Too bad their statements were widely condemned, their video taken off YouTube, yet no one has yet to rebut anything they said.

The fallout from this “crisis” is becoming devastating and clear.

But but but, the Democrats had the BEST of intentions!

Who could blame them for wanting to get rid of Trump?

They didn’t know they would actually hurt real children!

Instead of hurting just preborn children, which is JUST FINE with them!

One more reason we’ve got to get kids out of those dangerous homes and back into public schools, where they are safe. /s

As long as there is

trauma, and misery,

loneliness, poverty, and sadness -

as long as there is isolation and perceived injustice,

race war, hunger, anger,

Democrats as we know them will have power.

Agreed. Can’t teachers and concerned family members ask police to do a welfare check, though? I’m willing to bet that cops would be more willing to do that than ticket people for not wearing masks or congregating in large groups.

I also think LEO’s need a bit more training when it comes to recognizing the signs of child abuse. Abuse in general, actually. At least an LEO can request that a social worker follow up, because their word has some influence between agencies as opposed to a family member.

It doesn’t help that the child welfare system is seriously overburdened already and some of the staff is totally apathetic to what they see and hear, on top of a portion of those being corrupt.
