“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. Romans 15:2 KJV
Another week in lockdown and another seven days proving the virus is nothing but a club to destroy America and it’s capitalistic system. If America wants to see what DNC control will look like drive through one of the closed down strip malls and see all the boarded buildings.
Overnight America went from the most prosperous economies in the history of the world to the deepest recession it has ever experienced by doing exactly what Nazi Pelosi and her Party demanded. This is what happens when you trust in man to cure a disease rather than praying to God for healing.
You have to start wondering if Trump/Pence have realized they have been played by Doctors Boris and Natasha and the DNC or are secretly enjoying the massive power of saving 20 million American lives. Well you may have saved 20 million fake lives, but you have destroyed over 150 million real lives with this Soviet shutdown. We are all Russians now.
It is time for him to flex his political muscle and say the national emergency is over and force the DNC Governors to open their states before this economy is completely destroyed. Their goals are to keep this economy destroyed until the only answer is bigger more oppressive gummit to bring about their Soviet Union utopia. If you have any question what the Green Raw Deal looks like just drive through downtown New York City now or go to your average Airport and see for yourself what their future looks like.
President Trump please ax yourself which group of Americans is being hurt worst by the Cuomo, Newsome, NitWhitman shutdowns? They are destroying Republicans who are the economic engine and businessmen who are being shut out of their businesses. They believe if they can put them out of work then they cannot support Republican candidates like Trump and will win this upcoming election. All they have to say is they don’t want the virus to explode and keep those Repubs held down until they are forced out of business.
The DNC voters are still getting paychecks from the trough. They are focused in gummit jobs or welfare and public assisted jobs so they are having an extended vacation. Their public union workers as well as teachers unions are flush with cash as well as campaign workers ready and willing to push these elections to destroy the GOP and Trump and he doesn’t even realize what is coming his way. It is time to declare the emergency over and put America back to work.
He can start with the Federal Gummit and declare the public worker vacation over and time to put DC back to doing whatever it is they do and an end to the Federal emergency taking away the powers of the Governors.
This so called emergency was a bigger fraud than Global Warming claims to be. This one made the magic hockey stick look like child’s play. Here in Oregon the model said 1% of all Oregonians would die which is around 45,000 people when in reality only 160 died which is missing the mark by 30,000% and we are shut down until Christmas if Katy Brown has her way. This is her Green New Deal without the mess of actually passing and enforcing it. The same thing can be said for California, Washington, Michigan and every other state outside of NY and NJ which should have their Govs brought up on negligent manslaughter charges. To send sick patients into the old folk homes when you know 75% of the victims are over 70 yrs old is as negligent as you can get which basically injected them with cyanide
The evidence is pretty obvious this was an attack by China and whether it was planned by with the DNC or they took and are taking advantage of a crisis it makes no difference. It sure looks and smells like the Clinton/Russian connection 2015 and the timing is absolutely perfect for a 2020 October surprise, but the virus is not as strong a disease as they hoped.
The hype did not match the punch and with the flu season ending we have seen the worst of it by a long shot. Trump needs to take charge now and push to open up the sports stadiums and tell the people this is not as infectious as advertised as well as hammer the point it only is deadly to the over 70 crowd so they can take precautions but will be exposed eventually. The people over that age can stay at away from large crowds but even they only have a 1 in 10,000 chance of dying when exposed outside of an elderly care facility.
The Hardcore Communist governors have gone Chairman Mao on their slaves. They see this as an opportunity to make their wildest Marxist dreams come true. This is their chance to put an end to capitalism and bring about Nationalized Healthcare, Nationalized Transportation and Nationalized Housing, etc once everyone is out of work and at their bidding. This virus is the biggest gift they ever seen and are making the most out of punishing the very people they hate the most, businessmen who are primarily Repubs. This is their version of the Mao purges of their enemies and Trump better understand he is the biggest one of all.
This is the biggest Civil War America has ever seen and to break loose of the Communists may have more financial casualties than the original at Gettysburg. If this goes another month all of those empty strip malls will look that way for years to come. Half of those closed businesses are never coming back and if President Trump does not fight these Dems the other half will not be back either. America is looking down the barrel of a cannon with the Dem Governors pulling the trigger. The only reason any state now is not opening up is the November election since the science all points to opening as the summer months approach and flu season ends.
On this Memorial Day weekend where the 30% of this country is on permanent weekend it is time to look our war heroes in the eye and ax America where its wartime spirit went? When has America cowered to an enemy foreign or domestic? Now is not the time to fear dying from a disease, now is the time to fight back and tear down the barriers these Governors have erected with their Gastapo tactics and punishment.
It is time to fight these bullies like Lincoln did and reverse an injustice to the people who make this country work. It is time to call this virus what it is another fake dossier to scare Americans to sway an election. They have stooped to new lows and it is time to call them on it and expose the plan to the voters to let them know they have been lied to by a factor of 30,000%. This is what happens when you trust in man rather than God and Jesus.
America is primed and ready to rebound from this shutdown and only needs to have the police state lifted. It is time to take the mask off Lady Liberty and let her lift her torch high once again. It is time to let Americans off house arrest and enjoy what they do best, leading the world.
The Kate Browns and Andrew Cuomos need to back down or get thrown on the ash heap of histoir with their mentors Marx, Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Adolf and Castro who also had miles of boarded businesses and massive unemployment. It is time for America to turn to God not “science” for the cure.
Pray for the election

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
• Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.
MISC. PANDEMIC NOTES OF THE WEEK
(an update for my descendants)
To my descendants, please note that elected people are not always good and fair. Sometimes they get power and they thrive in it. Then they roll around in the spotlight of attention like a dog rolling around happily scratching its back.
We've had elected Kings and Queens forbid us from buying paint and telling us who can get a haircut. Not who can GIVE a haircut; who can GET one. The latest atrocity of power involves the Governor of Washington state who wants to open restaurants but, for a while until cursed and scolded to change, demanded that names and contact information be provided of all who eat at the restaurant.
They scare us, precious descendants. Pay attention. Don't let them get drunk on power and do it to you.
Begin with never letting the economy be shut down, not ever, ever again.
Below, a powerful Deep State politico just to show you how nuts they are.
-----------------------------
MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
There's lots in the political news this week but nothing much new. One of the bigger stories is the leaked discovery of what might be a new vaccine coming on the horizon. This was revealed earlier in the week, right after President Trump declared a "warp speed" attack to find a vaccine.
From all that is heard it sounds like a winner.
Also we'd been hearing about excess crops and meat produced on some farms by farmers without a system to sell it. And losing the Chinese market, if that's the case, doesn't help. So Trump declared a 119 billion grant to farmers in exchange for food distribution across the fruity plains.
As of this writing I am a little confused about how this is all going to work in terms of distribution and payment but a special press conference was held today, 5/19/20, with lots of guest speakers, with Ivanka Trump part of the implementation team.
----------------------------------
MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Leave It to Beaver Character Dies
A famous cast member of one of my childhood favorites, "Leave It to Beaver" died this week. He played the character of Eddie Haskill on Beaver. In real life he was known as Ken Osmond.
Eddie Haskill became a LAPD policeman and was shot 5 times while in pursuit of a criminal.
I never knew this.
...............................
South Korea fills football stands with sex dolls.
This is not a joke. South Korea had, like most countries, no live audience for a football game. So they used sex dolls. Pic below.
Well it made me smile.
-------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)
Off My bucket List
Like a lot of people, especially of my age, I have a "bucket list" that I want to achieve before my limited years left are done.
I now announce we can take the item "taking a cruise" off my list.
To my descendants, should you read this, perhaps by that time you will be able to take a luxurious, relaxing cruise in a splendid cruise ship with wonderful accompaniment.
For me, well I've lived a life never having taken a cruise. I will die without ever having taken a cruise. Because at this point in my life I am too old to ever get stuck on a cruise ship with a nasty virus run amok.
But descendants, include in YOUR bucket list cause it's bound to be fun and by the time yon descendants take a cruise, everyone will probably have to have a vaccine before going aboard.
---------------------
Will My Church Ever Be back?
I won't name my church but I think the two or three people that read this column probably know the name of the church I attend.
First, at the beginning of March our Pastor announced that he would not be returning after the end of April. Then the big quarantine was announced so we've had no live masses for over a month. Of course the end of April came and we didn't even have a chance to give the guy a little goodbye ceremony.
At the same time the church PR Director too retired so we got a new Pastor that we've never met, no very important church secretary and no idea if we will ever hold a mass in that church again.
Finally, at the same time, the Bishop of our diocese retired.
My church holds many people. Around 500 or close I think. And it is packed almost every scheduled mass. Since we are a summer resort locale, in the summer we have around six scheduled masses every weekend, all of them packed.
Will we ever be able to do that again? Will we ever be able to sit crammed into pews, singing and praying and spraying germs everywhere?
I miss it and don't know when it will ever be the same again.
--------------------------------------
REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
Competitive Reality Shows
I have always enjoyed what I call competitive reality shows.
In fact, the reality show Survivor ended this past week. With me, obviously, picking the correct winner.
I've never much liked Survivor because it so foreign to me, people living on a deserted island with only water....no food.
Big Brother is a little better, along the lines of Survivor but inside of a normal house with food and drink.
The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows amuse me but there is an underlying story of love soon to be upon. And while in Big Brother and Survivor the other contenders vote out the next to go, in Bachelor/Bachelorette the person looking for love votes out the next to go.
Amazing Race is one of my favorite reality shows. The next to go on this series is the last couple to complete the voyage/task/errand then upon. I find this show the most interesting of the competitive reality shows in there is not a lot of idle talk as happens on the likes of Big Brother, and which bores me. Amazing Race is intriguing throughout the entire show, as I see it.

Gordon Ramsay's "24 Hours to Hell and Back"
Gordon Ramsay is a world-famous Chef, host of MasterChef and other food shows. Of late he has a show that has him disguising himself and entering a restaurant that needs his help.
Ramsay has a team that will ultimately take an existing restaurant and re-design the interior and overhaul the kitchen, cooks, food and all.
Recently, and during this pandemic, I chanced to watch his latest restaurant overhaul and damn if he didn't overhaul all of Ellicott City, Main Street, Maryland.
Why yes, I have been to Ellicott City many times. The reason why so many places on that town's Main street needed to be overhauled is due to Ellicott City's tendency to flood.
And it wasn't just restaurants that Ramsay and his crew overhauled. There were a few "main drag" types of shops and Ramsay even included a brand new hand-painted mural welcoming all into town.
But here's the thing.... The show did include a large blurb onscreen at the beginning and end. Because folks, they did all this work and now the restaurants can't be opened. In the blurb it was said that everything will be okay.
Think about it...had Ramsay and crew been able to re-design the restaurants' interiors AFTER the pandemic they could have put in plexi-glass separators, spread the seating areas further apart.
But after all that work, well they might to RE-re-design those restaurant interiors.
Still it was a pretty good show, interesting, kept my attention.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
Learning to Make My Own Chinese Food
I, like many Americans, am a fan of Chinese food. For now I won't say I won't ever buy food from a Chinese restaurant again but I am considering.
Now I know these people didn't send Covid-19 to America but it did come from their home country. And I'm very angry about it.
A lot of Americans are angry at the Chinese because it's now well known that they knew back at the end of last year that they had a runaway virus on their hands. So they shut down THEIR surrounding cities yet allow their infected people out to spread the virus far and wide.
I can't shut off all trade with these rotten people who did this but I shall make my own WonTon soup.
They have a great life here in America but maybe if they are shunned, even if temporary, they could have some influence on those wonderful and fine people running their country.
Maybe not. But I tell my descendants that perhaps when they read this you will be ordering shrimp fried rice by the buckets. Perhaps all will be well between America and China. Maybe the Communist Chinese party will be pushed out of power, as they should be.
For now, my descendants, I don't like China at all.

Great image does not get any better.
Requesting yon reader patience because it happened yesterday and I kinda want to scream.
I have a friend. She does not like President Trump but that’s nothing new. So yesterday we talk on phone.
Our church had just announced it will re-open for Sunday mass effective 6/6/20.
I mention to her, softly, that President Trump called for all the churches to be opened. “If it’s good enough for liquor stores and abortion clinics, it’s good enough for church,” I told her.
“Yeah well I am so mad at this president I better not meet him in person because I shall scream at him.”
Goodness I thought. What could Trump have done to offend her so much.
“He gets on the TV and tells us all to get out and do stuff,” she tells me as I wonder what’s wrong with this.
“He has no right to tell me what to do and if I want to stay home I will,” she “explained”.
I took a deep breath and told her that the president cannot make her go out and about, that she shouldn’t worry that he’ll throw her in jail for staying home.
Man she’s a nut job about going out, wears some kind of huge triangular mask, gloves on both hands, yells at people behind her in line for getting too close. She’d tell me this stuff and I dunno, we’re a country done gone nuts.
And now she hates and despises Donald Trump for suggesting that we get out and about like that’s some super crime.
Truth is, as I know it, that hating President Trump is all the rage these days. If you like Trump you are a dirty Walmart shopper with no taste.
My friend, the nut job, has real class. We know this because she hates Donald Trump.
She is so proud and she fights back.
Choose hope today...Be positive, and watch things play out. Much to be thankful for. Like what Carlos Osweda’s says, if we trust PDJT’s workings, imagine what is going on that he is doing that we DON’T see.
Positives...Sullivan retaining a lawyer...PDJT calling out Obama and his posse daily...knowing the DNC had no plan B, this is why the key have self-destructing Biden, the gift that keeps on giving...Chanel-Kayleigh MME tagteam MSM takedown...Fauci MIA, and Birx seemingly turned (likely threatened her family’s connections to Gates)...Sessions exposed and will lose big time...more and more House victories...HCQ validated and growing acceptance...Joe Scarborough murderer squirming...stock market rising...I’m going to South Dakota in August...this after my Zion/Grand Canyon trip trashed 2 yrs in a row...Left wing Governors are imploding...memes are rising...
There are some many more things to be thankful for...
Praise Him in the lowest valley...yes I will...my fave song.

Did anyone think we could go from one of the most prosperous economies ever in the history of the world to a struggling country trying to hold on to its values,economy, and way of life all at once in only weeks?
I never saw it coming.
To me after interviewing those who rule even at the local level it's clear that the drivebys/msm have done a better job than we ever knew. They propagandize endlessly while hoping no leader from top to bottom will bother to check their work.Usually they are right. The planned-demic is broadcast 24/7 for months without ever giving the other side.
Of course the other side,when it is heard, is based on solid logic from acknowledged expert doctors in the field. These sources,the Drs. Judy Mikovits,Rashid Buttar,Dan Erickson and Artin Massiki are routinely lied about and their videos removed from the web. They are constantly termed "conspiratorial". If the truth gets out those who created the virus and those who made it seem true are in big trouble.
It's sad but true. We do have the enemy from within to deal with here in the US. If we don't do it soon there will be no "United" States of America in existence but a bunch of non-united states all clamoring for the govt. dole to keep us in our homes scared to death.
Fortunately, for us our potus Donald J.Trump won't allow that to happen.He's on to them and is their worst nightmare.
