In this current crisis, the longest if not the first complete shutdown in U.S. history, the freedoms of American democracy are being tested in ways we scarcely ever imagined. Out of nowhere little Napoleonic governors arise to enact decrees prohibiting gardening or strolling on an empty beach — decrees that seem to have little purpose other than to reflect that they can do so. Snitches volunteer to out felonious social deviants who are seen cooking in the backyard with a neighbor. A little horned-devil virus seems to be trying to do what those Russkies never could.
Experts with all sorts of Ph.D.s, M.D.s, and J.D.s after their names lecture from authority about what we must right now do — or else! — on the principle that they have a scientific or technocratic prerogative to impress critics of their modeling or their demand that we shut down a $22-trillion economy for “18 months,” if need be.
A supposedly disinterested media — found by media watchdogs to be 93 percent negative in its presidential reportage before the virus crisis — envision their coverage of the Trump demon as an endless zero-sum game in which any morsel of good news for him is instantly bad for them.
In short, if American democracy were to fail to sustain itself under myriad pressures, then this would be the moment. For some, the Sixties can at last be made manifest — especially given that its aging children just impeached an American president on articles nowhere found in the Constitution, after weaponizing the FBI, CIA, and DOJ in an attempt to abort a presidential campaign and then presidency.
How fortunate, then, that in this current crisis, when one questions the logic of using a misleading denominator to ascertain viral lethality...

From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."
--Ronald Reagan

At least for now.
Reagan knew about the deep state.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. — Benjamin Franklin
“Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take....
OUR FREEDOM!”
William Wallace

Further more, this was carried out by an ineligible usurper.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
His Kenyan national/British subject father made him a Kenyan national/British subject.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is by definition not NATURALLY an American.

wow, it is difficult to believe that it has actually been that long since the shelter in place started... how quickly a thousand years can go by...

Insanity. What do they think would be left if we remain shut down for eighteen months?
This situation must stop.

Of course he did... his VP was The Godfather of it.
not only the date has to be fixed.
this is Victor Davis Hanson, not Jim Robinson, as shown on

There must be a reckoning.
Sure as hell feels like it, already.
Even the typos understand.
Then we've got billionaires with family ties simultaneously to the British Queen and Rockefellers--which, by the way was how they got so much black slush fund and investment monies to become rich (e.g., on the back of a first-day 100M operating system purchase commitment for Windows 95), not due to Bill's natural charms or intellectual prowess, but rather, bullying aggressiveness--pushing us headlong into globalist socialism.
Here's a couple of his quotes from just the last two days:
