There's been a LOT of infighting on the Gonzaga Basketball Board. The most strident voices are those in Washington, where Gonzaga is located. I've pretty much stayed away from those discussions, because I haven't been vaxxed, by choice.

About 5-6 weeks ago, I contracted Covid for the second time. I'll be 68 in a few months, and have had Type 2 diabetes for 6-7 years. I lost 30 pounds in a week, it was kicking my butt. My doctor prescribed a regimen of Ivermectin, HCQ, and a couple other drugs. I was back at work the following week.

My BIL and my sister all got jabbed, with no apparent side effects. Our discussions on the subject stayed cordial, it's been my attitude that the decision to vaxx or not is a personal decision to be respected.

But man, some of my fellow alums have gone off the deep end. Last December (2020), Gonzaga played Virginia in Fort Worth. I was able to get some great pictures of my then 10 YO grandson with several players. The masks were pulled down just long enough to take the picture.

The Board reaction was incredible, with several accusing me of creating a super spreader event.

Ironic....considering it was the LIBS who foisted the skeert mask Karens on all of us, to begin with.

The fear is real. (Excellent photos)

The fear is strong in those ones.

“”There’s something more important than whether you wear a mask or not and that’s civility and respect,” he said. “And if you’re somebody who doesn’t like wearing masks respect those who do. If you’re somebody who likes wearing masks, please respect those who don’t.”

Gov. Polis has seen the light! Last year he was utterly uncivil to anyone who did not obey masking orders. His state agencies lifted the license of any business that did not comply. His public statements were downright nasty.

Polls are amazing, are they not? I guess Heidi Ganahl is doing better in his internal polls than we suspected.

“He is about one of the few dems out there with periods of sanity.”

Not many. He has hooked Colorado’s environmental regulations to California. Anything CA does becomes law in Colorado.

Our pastor made the same decision awhile ago. He said it was terrible how masks, vaccines, etc. were dividing us. He had gone along with the state rules of masking. But, after a few courts had ruled that churches fell outside of the government rules he said you can wear or not wear one as you see fit. And that NO JUDGEMENTS should be made either way.

He said that if somebody came up to him with a mask on he would put his on, and vice-versa for unmasked people.

I went up to him afterwards. “Thanks - that’s a great way to do things. And I don’t know if it’s helpful, but I’ll still be wearing my mask and my wife will stop wearing hers - and we still love each other! And feel free not to wear a mask when we approach you!”

This is the same guy who on July 9 2020, very civilly and respectfully said ‘Wear a damn mask!’

I happened to catch this interview this am on FNS. Polis is such a bad liar I don’t know he could of been elected to anything other than dog catcher.

While listening to an episode of The Dinesh D'Souza Podcast while at work, he was talking about Aristotle.
Dinesh was quoting him and used the word, "Polis."
I made a note of this on my phone and just now decided to look it up.
I found this:
The polis, or Greek city-state, according to Aristotle, is the highest form of political association. Only by being a citizen of a polis can a person fully pursue a life of good quality, which is the end goal of human existence. Because one can only achieve this goal through political association, Aristotle concludes that "man is a political animal." As well as defending private property and condemning capitalism, Aristotle notoriously regards the institution of slavery as necessary to the workings of society.

I just found it interesting that this word and the name of our commie governor in Colorado are the same.

“You set people against each other...”

He’s trying to doge it now.

Rather than challenge the still-irrationally frightened, still-irretrieveably ignorant masker, I remind myself that even as dirty, as nasty, as unhealthy, as irrational as is masking, like any bad habit it takes strength, commitment and, especially, courage to break ... characteristics that are relatively rare ... especially in those poor frightened souls who need their mask because they think it actually works to protect them from the Fauci Flu ... it must ... it simply has to ... because an "expert" told me it does.

Ah, that dumb. When they destroy CO, where will they go next?

[lightman]

Maskerbation is highly addictive.

[AppyPappy]

NOW they want this. Before, they said we were killing Grandma.

“Ah, that dumb. When they destroy CO, where will they go next?”

Montana and Texas.
