Even around here we have a whole cabal of self appointed experts who believe that a virus made up of particulate ten times smaller in diameter than the particulate in cigarette smoke can be stopped by homemade idiot masks.

Oh, I know. I've seen people wearing hand towels, silk scarves, skiing face masks (which have holes over the nose and mouth), and even one woman who was simply holding a handkerchief over her mouth and nose as she walked through the grocery store.

And the kicker? That all of these people walk up to the checkout counter, tap the keypad with their fingers, etc. The stupidity of the masks is astonishing, but not as astonishing as the people who believe that it makes any difference.

I've asked this before, several times: if masks, socialist distancing, and lockdowns work, why are we still dealing with them after more than THREE MONTHS?! And what happened to "15 days to flatten the curve"? When and why did it become, "No one can ever be exposed to COVID, EVER!!! And we will keep everyone locked down and wearing masks and staying 6' apart until... well, until we (the politicians) get whatever it is that we want out of this."

Like many things that make sense, it can be hijacked and turned into something else for a completely different, nefarious purpose by the Left.

So 100% besides the point as to be utterly useless.

The point is THEY’RE FULL. For the first time EVER. Pima county has around 3000 ICU beds cumulative. Last reports 25 of them are available. That has never ever happened before, NEVER.

If what you’re worried about is country of origin at this point, you’re just a damned idiot racist pinhead. Don’t reply, I don’t give a damn what you have to say about anything.

This entire hoax has one goal only. To drive President Donald J. Trump from office. The Democrats knowingly have caused THOUSANDS OF DEATHS but simply shrug them off as collateral damage, worth the trouble and heartache to meet their objective. This is a last ditch effort before the November election. Combining Covid-19 with BLM and Antifa, they hope to trick President Trump into making a mistake.
This is a three pronged attack on the Constitution of the United States. Unrest, revolution, riots, terrorist operations, while constantly singing their favorite word, “RACISTS!”
Keep your powder dry.

I HAVE noticed, though, that it’s getting harder and harder for the Enemy Media to cobble together ANY sort of stories to continue to promote the FEAR they’ve become addicted to.

So, that’s A Good Thing! :)

“Governors’ next move will be submission masks for everyone.”


Governors next move will be mandatory vaccination for everyone.

Only the uninformed would be foolish enough to take it.
