OUTSTANDING post. Thanks. HOORAY Tucker! Watch this one multiple times. Take notes...”the truth is, we have no choice.” - Zeke

UNIPARTARIAN SUPERCRIMINALS move on. “None Essentials” SLAUGHTERED.

Keep spinning that merry-go-round of responsibility UNIPARTARIANS, until NOBODY is responsible.

Lock arms, ammo, thoughts, best practices with brothers and sisters in cities, suburbs, countryside, other countries. It’s a BIG CLUB out here, and they are not in it. We have the template to re-build it. Thanks FF. Rights of INDIVIDUALS, yet no regulation, punishment, swift justice on SUPERCRIMINAL elitist overlords and their ground forces world-wide.

That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. - Declaration

The amusement park is closing pretty soon. We see you.

Malik Nidal Hasan didn’t catch Covid-19. Did he? Ghislaine must’ve hidden pretty good from that virus.

535++++ vs. 330 MILLION.

“Peaceful coexistence with the Left is not possible. Stop pretending that it is.” “ I’m done. Just so done.”

Have a great day, Lurker. I took a break for a week. It helps.

That sounds like an outdoor range to me, and some fishing in the sun, perfect!

Last night, I waited for an hour outside of my favorite sushi restaurant in Pensacola with my buddy. They were to open to 25% or 50% capacity, not really sure, but we dined like kings! My God, it was good in so many ways, but mainly just to be there.

It’s time to go back. The New Normal can kiss my ass!

Have a Free memorial Day, Lurker and Mrs. L!

Actually, the numbers themselves show that the lockdowns have decreased the spread of Covid-19 by 95%. That is a huge difference, and has saved many lives.

It is unfortunate that during a pandemic, human activity cannot go on as usual. Very unfortunate. It has always been the case throughout history that epidemics and pandemics are great disruptors of civilization, and we are no different today. Our advantage over our forebears is that we understand disease transmission and the scientific method much better, so are better equipped to come up with countermeasures. But that’s about it.

Exactly, but also, very importantly, no Democrat Secs of State, they corrupt state elections, and no Democrat Sheriffs.

In the position of school board member, the purposely corrupt the minds of children by teaching them things children really shouldn’t know, as was described in a recent article that I don’t have a handy link to.

And under no circumstances should a Democrat be allowed around our furry canine friends. They claim to be animal lovers, but they are lying.

A voice of reason. We’ve had 94,000 die due to Covid-19 with massive measures to slow the spread. Hate to think what would have happened if we would have done nothing.

A LOT of people are coasting on 4 grand a month unemployment ins. Even holders of S corps. I did not know that anyone who is part of a Corp could even apply for UI.

Some guys in my business stayed out for all of April collecting 4 grand a month. I’d been wondering why I didn’t see them out there.

Wasn’t a shutdown then and shouldn’t have been one now.

Folks..Please put watching Tucker Carlson at the top of your “to do” list every day. He is one of the best journalists I have seen in my long life and I have lived a lot of history. He is recording true history as it is occurring which, if not erased by opponents of freedom and human dignity, will give wisdom and guidance to those who come after us. The history of humanity is full of tyrannical narcissists, who manage to enslave an entire population because of the fear which comes from literally any source. Those tyrants exist among us today and they are smelling blood in the water. Tucker exposes them and I am sure they do not like it one bit. He is fighting for us, America..The little guy and gal and we had better be sure we are fighting with him. I know some here do not like FOXNEWS because of those who are afraid to speak truth to journalism. FOX definitely has progressives in their news coverage because they try to be fair and balanced, unlike the other outlets. I also love Laura Ingraham. She is a tough journalist lawyer with a big heart for the truth. She has awesome guests. I never miss her show. Tucker and Laura are my lifeline to hope after the power of my faith. Hannity fights the old really tough and discouraging battles and he never gives up. We really need him, as well. He, like Rush Limbaugh, knows our enemies and he digs until he finds out what they are up to. God Bless you all and I hope you have a wonderful weekend close to someone you love.

Our business, daughter and me, is an S Corp. And we are both collecting UI. The federal CARES Act made it possible. Our business has not had a dime of income since February 13. We run campaigns to raise money for non profits. We had a campaign that started February 13 and we cancelled it on March 13 because all the venues (which we need to run our business) started shutting down. We depend on sports games, concerts, etc. Our campaigns run a minimum of 60 days so even if concerts and stuff starts being booked again it will be awhile before our business collects payment for services. We’re looking at about 9 months or more with $0 income....and you think we shouldn’t be able to collect unemployment?!?!

Tucker is about 8% nutball but 92% right on the money. That’s a pretty good deal.

Add This generation is NOT equipped to deal with the magnitude of being a bread winner and a parent. As soon as they can hand the baby to a relative, sitter or day care they go back to organized work. Instead of the chaos of raising a child, schooling them and making the little delinquent they created behave. Not equipped to deal with tantrums, trying to get them to eat, potty train them.

I see it in my grands, parents eldest did work 60-70 hrs a week, now 49 can’t find a managerial job, Type 2 Diabetic makes him a worse hire, even though he works his butt off; 1 soon to be 18 yr old worked since old enough. Youngest has a fear of job change, though he can work every dept in the steel cabinet factory he works at; has a wife in nursing school now furloughed for WU-FLU, and a 30 month old daughter, who is a picky eater and not potty trained, despite the lock down.

I had both boys potty trained at 18 months, worked too.You ate what was on the table or went hungry. My grandparents went through the Great Depression with 8 kids. 1 paycheck from shirt factory grandma made, grandpa had Black Lung, he supervised the kids and truck farm, couldn’t work, kids did. 2 boys 6 girls.

There’s no lockdown, but there’s hysteria behind that word. The less fortunate either continue to work in spite of the noisy minority of mouth breathing morons loitering and chatting in groups around them. Others find more work. The morons bathe in their sloth, despair and drug addictions while slinging insults at others and trying to cause the election to be lost by dividing conservatives against conservatives.

Invent. Innovate. The customer is always right. Like it or not, customers are your ultimate bosses. And your employees and their older family members in their homes are among your customers. You cannot force them to buy your services.

Harden our economy against foreign hitchhiking bugs. This is the U.S.A. We don’t need every disease that arises on the other side of the planet. What will you do, when some sort of flubola epidemic starts spreading? Hide at home while insulting your employees and demanding that they hold the front lines without taking measures against infection? That’s a failed model. It’s failing now.

To the heap with big spending, by the way—both big government and debt-ridden private. Workers who are able should be saving, keeping their own families together, starting their own businesses and competing. Competition is healthy for business and good for a strong economy.

And again, the customer is always right. The customer is the real boss.

"Depression..suicide..bankruptcy...drug abuse...alcohol abuse...spousal abuse....child abuse.All consequences of seeing your financial security disappear in a puff of smoke in a matter of weeks."

A few decades ago, just about any real conservative would have disagreed with that. Those problems are not caused by having a fat cash flow and losing it after neglecting savings and swimming in debts. They're caused by lack of self-discipline. Blaming others for those problems show a lack of responsibility and maturity.
