The way things are going life in prison is a retirement program for many now. Best to get in early and beat the rush. Once the elite catch onto the fact us old farts are scamming them with prison sentences they will force the police to shoot us onsite.

Yes, I was thinking that yesterday, that the “new strain” is all fiction, and just another chapter to convince people to stay masked up and/or locked down “for their own good”.

We tried warning people about "hope and change" and how it was all a lie. They laughed and scoffed, of course. They're too smart for us. They profess themselves to be wise. Ping to above verse in multiple translations.

Romans 1:22 King James Version (KJV)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Another poster wrote........

Two other take-aways from this Serbian gentleman:

One is that he understands that the Democrat party of today is nothing like it once was. The Democrat party of today is infested with Marxist socialists and he sees the danger in them taking control. Very astute observation on his part.

Two is that the United States is the last best hope for anyone who wants to flee the tyranny of their own country, and if this election is allowed to stand as is, then that last hope will be totally gone and there will be nowhere else on earth to go. Perhaps his passion is from the fact that one day he would have liked to come here to live, and now he sees that hope vanishing.

It's how the SNL-educated fools think. I've seen their comments. Completely disconnected from reality to an alternate reality. CBS approves (and encourages).

It’s been said that Viruses always mutate quickly into more communicable but less deadly strains. The reason is simple. The more deadly strains show serious symptoms which cause patients to be isolated, preventing the deadly strain from being spread. Only mild strains that cause mild symptoms continue to multiply and spread.

This is one of the fundamental findings in the “Evolution of Virulence” literature. The UK report is not really news. COVID-19 has been evolving rapidly worldwide since August, as shown by skyrocketing incidence rates WITHOUT corresponding increases in death rates.

Because the big money is in a cure, not preventative medicine.

I remember watching Hannity and Colmes years ago. Were they on CNN? Other than President Trump, nothing has gotten better since those days. It's still all talk. And gab. And position papers. Etc. Etc. Etc.

The time for talk has passed. I don't wish civil war, or secession, but we have been painted into a corner. We and our values have been relegated to the role of Untermenschen, essentially slaves for the Deep State.

Not “take it”, but deflect the abuses that come our way. There are many ways to use the superior position of the stronger person against them, this principle has been touched up on in various forms of civil disobedience. Slow-walking any requests made upon you, “losing” the directive that was supposed to compel you to obey, deliberately but with feigned innocence misunderstand every order that is contrary to your own understanding of the world around you, and complain that the orders delivered are much too difficult to carry out.

Think like a badly treated four-year-old, and kick their shins when hauled off for disciplinary action. They might “win” in the short term, but an unwilling slave is a greater liability than asset.

No matter how “efficient” a command-and-control system may seem to the theoretical thinker, there is one internal flaw to this logic, and that is for the individual to have some incentive to behave well. Take away that incentive, and you might as well be a drooling idiot.

Well, that and the fact that they quit reporting COVID, that are now lumping COVID, Influenza, and Pneumonia (CIP) into a single bin, one labeled COVID.

Didn't you ever wonder why there are no influenza deaths at all being reported this flu season?

A real epiphany for me was when I discovered that the human brain does not reach full maturity until around age 25. Until then, it is not skilled at seeing consequences and long term, strategic thinking, It tends to live in the moment and have an “If it feels good, do it” perspective.

If the voting age were increased to 25, this would become a completely different country almost overnight.

That’s what I’ve been doing and will continue to do until I can’t do anymore.

But think how people will act that have a lot to lose and then lose it. Hell will then be unleashed as payback. Those young people you mention that don’t have anything to lose. They will not be breathing fire nearly like the ones that are soon to lose everything they had.

That’s part of what I’m talking about.

e.g. “I lost my job, my church, my family and my house, but I still have this gun collection and 5,000 rounds. What should I do?

They’ll have to lose it first before they breathe fire. So until that point, they’ll go along to get along.

But it is coming and it is coming much faster than people think. Let people see their savings wiped out by 800% inflation and you will get a taste of serious fire.

wow- i didn’t know that- that explains a lot of what i did in my youth then lol- Some really really stupid stuff- I lost count of how many times i cheated death-

[[If the voting age were increased to 25, this would become a completely different country almost overnight.]]

Agreed- but unfortunately liberals are trying to get it lower and lower- because they know they can deceive the younger generation easier with promises of handouts
