Mr. President, time to lean on the ones that aren’t.

Some are serious about maximizing the costs. Deadly serious.

These lockdown represent a wonderful opportunity to buy up some investments and resources for proverbial pennies on the dollar.

I wonder how much less than 5 years it will take Nancy Pelosi’s net worth to double again.

(5 years is about how long it took the last two times per one claim I’ve seen.)

And of course if we made a two column chart of those who wanted to get back to business and the ones who do not, we know which column would be largely (if not completely) composed of the “enemies of the people” party.

Herr DeWine is slowly beginning to cave. Not because he wants to, but he’s beginning to feel the heat.

Not opening retail until 5/12. Initially Herr DeWine said it would be mandatory for customers to wear a mask in retail establishments. I’m guessing most people reacted like I did, because the next day, masks for customers became highly suggested. What a jerk.

North Dakota needs a different response than New York City. One solution for every state will never work.

Let every city and county follow their own path, and we'll learn what works and what doesn't.

My Leftist friends still living in Ohio LOVE DeWine. Enough said.

I disagree. The ones that aren’t are generally blue states. Let the governors there reap what they have sown.

Meanwhile in AZ, I saw an SUV that had paint on it’s back window. Upon getting close, I was able to read ‘Comrade Ducey, Free Your Subjects’ complete with a hand drawn hammer and sickle.

No news on when anything in AZ will be ‘allowed’ to open...........

I'll tell you who are serious about the costs of the lockdowns (not caused by the flu; rather, lockdowns implemented and enforced by state and local politicians), particularly in Nevada where the governor continues to stall on reopening the state's economy; it's those who have ... well ... a substantial "investment" in the big casinos in Las Vegas and Reno who have been "bleeding" money for over a month now. These boys aren't going to stand by idly much longer ... and they don't wait for a public protest or even an election to make the changes necessary to protect their "investments".

It seems like the Democrat governors that are continuing to focus on the lockdowns are counting on their Democrat congresscritters to provide a Federal Bailout.

“Stay home, don’t work, don’t worry, Big Brother will take care of us.....”

They are hoping to have their cake and eat it too.

The lockdown was to the ‘flatten’ the curve not eliminate it because you can’t. The virus has to run it’s course until herd immunity kicks in.

“My Leftist friends still living in Ohio LOVE DeWine. Enough said.”

Herr DeWine has taken RINO to a new level. And yes, all the Dems around me adore him. They love authoritarians. There’s even an animated video about DeWine and Acton set to the tune from Laverne and Shirley. Now, I see they are selling DeWine/Acton t-shirts. It’s absolutely revolting.

Some people vote for people looking to get a job done. Others vote for people hoping for royalty, someone to worship.

“science ahead of politics.” But politics, like science, can’t be easily ignored.

In all that they always leave out the other two factors. Common sense and faith. Common sense has been sidelined and faith in God and country has been marginalized.

Lighten up, Francis

Half the deaths from this occurred in New York City.
Nobody is saying they are going to spring back as
quickly as anyone else.

Here where I sit we’ve had around 90 fatalities in a
county of 1.2 million. Local hospital had 1000 beds with respirators at the ready. They’ve used 25. And that comes from a doctor who works there.

Gavin Newsom said Monday he was still weeks away from making “measurable and meaningful changes”...

Interesting, considering the situation changes daily. Are Newsom's people that slow and stupid? Is it deliberate?
