Businesses Need the “Right to Try” to Reopen.

Unlike this bartender who is probably out of work right now, AOC is still getting paid for not coming back to congress yet is spewing her stupid opinions.  She wants folks to stay at home permanently and not return to their low paying, unrewarding, demanding jobs.  AOC has lost touch with the American Dream.  Let me remind her what it is:

American Dream is “you go to school to get a job to get married to buy a home to have children so they can go to school to get a job to get married to buy a home to have children and so on.”  This is repeated from generation to generation. This is how we replenish the earth with our offspring to inherit it.  The American Dream makes the world go around.  AOC wants it to die.

Cuomo said yesterday, “If you want to work, go take an essential job. You won’t kill anyone.”  Nice talk to a dental office manager, a dentist, an events company owner, a wedding planner, a buyer at Macys, a graphic artist, a musician, a waiter, a bartender, and a construction worker.  Family-owned businesses have rent, overhead, and insurance to pay that requires an income to pay for it.  For Cuomo to think they can just up and go work at a grocery store filling shelves is the most out of touch, insensitive comment from a governor of a state. And some want him to be president?  I don’t think so.

Businesses should be able to have the ‘right to try’ to reopen up. If the public finds them not practicing the Guidelines in Phase One, they won’t patron them.  It’s simple as that. If they haven’t adopted safety measures to protect their customers, they won’t have any.  If their clerks are careless and maskless, they won’t patron them.  If they allow too many customers in the store at one time, customers won’t enter.

I have a cousin who is an independent advertising cinematographer.  Rather than sitting back and complaining, he has redesigned his equipment to film commercials without people being present or staff.  Not sure how he did it, but he has a family to feed. He also has survival skills.  His company would have folded like many others have during this shutdown.

Many company owners have put their life savings into starting a business and have drained their retirement to stay alive during this. They have to rely on a government grant or loan to be approved to stay open for a short time.  They can’t keep this up.  Please give them the “right to try” to reopen up.  Give customers credit for knowing what is safe or not.  Give businesses credit for setting up safe policies like my cousin has.  Give them a chance.

Concerts and events will have to take some time to reopen as it would be harder to contain an audience six feet apart.  Let’s hope some time in the future musicians can resume their careers too; maybe take a day job in the interim. For now their fans will have to wait.

In the meantime, let companies and businesses resume their livelihoods.

GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO TRY TO REOPEN.

Continued Shutdown Will do More Harm to Active Seniors Than the Virus.

The unintended consequences of the shutdown will actually hurt seniors more than the risk of the getting the virus itself. The cure can’t be worse than the disease but it is bordering on it.  They’re suffering more than the younger generation from the shelter in place.  The youth seem to able to stay indoors for days at a time on their computers, video games, and cell phones but our generation wasn’t raised with that way.  We enjoy the outdoors, travel, shopping in stores, nurseries, casinos, golfing, fishing, tennis, pools, and televised sports.  And all of the aforementioned has been taken away from us all at once. Our quality of life is affected.

Not only that, but our retirement IRA’s and 401K’s that we live off of have taken a big hit from the shutdown of America.  Not only that, but we have to postpone crucial health screenings like mammograms, dental cleanings, physical therapies, and colonoscopies due to the shutdown.  Not only that, but the real estate which we plan to pass on to our kids someday will be next to take a hit if this shutdown continues.  Not only that, but it hurts us mentally to see our college-educated kids being forced to waste their education while working from home during this shutdown. The economy is tanking!  People are unemployed!  Companies are going under!  Have a heart and stop being partisan!

We don’t believe the media or Democrat governors at all any longer as they all have an agenda now and that’s to hurt the president by tanking the economy with their fake news. They are drooling at the chances of the epidemic re-surging in the Fall.  They’re sick.  They don’t care about people dying.  They just care about ruining Trump’s chances in the next election; otherwise we wouldn’t be hearing all this crap about Trump causing the coronavirus deaths by ignoring early warnings, hydroxychloroquine is killing patients, and the epidemic is coming back in Fall. It’s 100 percent bullshit!

Thanks a lot for saving our lives, governors, but we can’t take being saved much longer as it’s killing us.  And being separated from our families much longer is hurting us too.  It’s no way to live.  Open up America.

Governors, please stop what you are doing to us seniors and let us live our lives and have our livelihood, hobbies, entertainment, and sports back.  Get off your stubborn partisan as-es governors and take a chance by opening up your state safely like Georgia and Texas are doing. Let small companies that are suffering reopen. Let some casinos reopen.  It’s not up to you to decide if they can enforce social distancing as I see everyone doing it on their own. No one wants to die.

For instance:  A hair salon can require their customers to come in with pre-washed, toweled hair, masked, and gloved; temps checked at the door. The hairdresser will be masked and will cut your hair and style with gloves on.  Only four customers at a time in one salon. It is really no different than how one is treated in the hospital right now.  Stores can adapt, customers can adapt. We’re not stupid. We’ll wear masks and keep our distance from strangers–not family.  We’re depending on you to be kind and let us live our lives again. We are all responsible for our OWN lives.  Let us live them!

If we see a store that is not following proper precautions, cleanliness, and distancing, we won’t patron it, but for gods sake let the stores try.  “Right to try” to run a business should be a priority.

OPEN UP AMERICA BEFORE THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR! 

A Tale of Two Countries.

A Divided Country Photograph by Jeff Black

 

As in the opening of the 1859 historical novel entitled A Tale of Two Cities, we are experiencing much of the same when I hear the reaction to the pandemic and our shutdown from both sides of our country. Here’s a portion of the first paragraph of Charles Dickens’ novel:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…”

A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, deals with the major themes of duality, revolution, and resurrection. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times in London and Paris, as economic and political unrest led to the American and French Revolutions.

When I flip through the news channels, I am appalled by the paradoxical reactions, just as in the opening of this novel, to the shutdown of our economy and the Bat Virus pandemic. Our country is taking the complete opposing sides of every issue.

For instance: the mask makes us safe, it makes us unsafe; Trump reacted early, he was late; shelter-in-place is believed, it is incredulous; the right to protest is good, it is evil; vaccines are a must, they can wait; hydroxychloroquine is a treatment, it needs to be tested; we’re at the end of this crisis, it’s just the beginning; China unleashed the virus, it was a mistake; ventilators save lives, they’re harmful; the best of people come out in a pandemic, the worst of people come out; we should open up now, we should wait 18 months; Fauci has the final word, he’s compromised; businesses are booming, they’re going under; get back to work, stay at home; working from home is a hardship, it is wonderful; we need more testing, we’ve done plenty; press conferences are informative, they’re misinformation; schools should open soon, they should stay closed; we’ll be back to normal, this is the “new” normal. It’s A Tale of Two Countries, and it’s giving me whiplash.

We can’t agree on anything right now.  Everyone has a different opinion on this crisis, and they’re not afraid to voice it. We haven’t been so divided as a country since the Vietnam War, and I hoped during this crisis our country would come together as ONE.  But the media, Hollywood, and nutty Nancy won’t hear of it.  They’re dividing the country even more while setting a bad example for our youth, repercussions which could last for decades. What we hear from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, and others is enough to boil your blood at times.  They lie, bury, or spin all the truth regarding Trump, turning it negative.

The New York Times recently blamed Hannity for a man contracting the Bat Virus while on a cruise but Nancy, Cuomo, DeBlasio, Fauci and others are blameless?  Everyone was told that the virus was not transferable from human to human at first.  In fact, Fauci told folks to go on cruises and sex with strangers was okay.  And he’s the ONLY voice of reason to the left. Recently a five year old girl died and an article claimed it was the youngest death from the coronavirus.  Upon reading further, it seems she had tested positive for strep throat which led to meningitis which gave her a seizure and she eventually died.  The article then said a complication to coronavirus is meningitis.  Journalism is what died!

We need to snap out of it and support our president.  He has only the best intentions for our country.  Nothing he does is against the country, it’s always America First.  Hotels across America are suffering as well as restaurants, department stores, and casinos, some of which will never be able to reopen. Some are too big to qualify for the stimulus loans and run on a tenuous budget that can last only a couple of months. We need to get our companies back open and their employees back to work before they think an “unemployment check” is more worthy and noble than a job.

Staying at home waiting for “word” from their governors is only instilling a generation of slackers. Our freeways are empty of cars and the oil companies are suffering.  But the Green New Deal proponents love it as bike shops are now essential stores to remain open whereas churches are not–just what they envisioned. Who comes up with these rules?  Answer: Liberal governors.

Why would Gavin Newsom hand off the task of reopening California to climate change billionaire Steyer who isn’t affected by the shut down at all? Answer: So Steyer can keep companies closed to hurt the economy even more in the name of “climate change” and Newsom won’t get blamed. They all have the same agenda: get Trump out!  If this continued shutdown increases the unemployment numbers, so be it. It’ll hurt Trump.

Sorry California, it’s looking like you’ll have to put down your stemmed glass of Chardonnay, your arugula salad, and come out of your solar-paneled homes to protest at the Capitol before your listless adult kids can leave your house and go back to work.  Your governor won’t allow them.

Let’s stop “a tale of two countries” and make us ONE again. We are at war with a deadly invisible enemy, and we all need to support our president now more than ever. Ignore the crazy left media, Hollywood nuts, and Nancy.   Listen to Trump, he knows what he’s doing.

SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT, COME TOGETHER, AND STOP BEING DIVIDED! STOP POLITICIZING THE BAT VIRUS!

 

Sanctuary States/Cities are a Magnet for the Bat Virus.

50 States Images, Stock Photos & Vectors | Shutterstock

Why is that?  I thought the Bat Virus didn’t discriminate from one state line to another or one race to another or one party to another or one gender to another or one age to another.  But it seems to target sanctuary states and cities.  What could be the correlation?  Is it just a coincidence?  Or did sanctuary states not heed the early warnings as much as the rest of the nation?  Let’s examine this:

As a property owner in a sanctuary county in a sanctuary California, I can attest to the fact that citizens pooh poohed Trump’s banning flights from China calling it racist and continued to go about their business; one person even saying, “I can’t shut out the world.”  They continued to go to work, luncheons, movies, cruises, flights, wine tasting, parties, public transportation until they got the word from their governor to shelter-in-place.  Now they are some of the worst paranoid people in the country, hiding in their homes, peeking out their curtains, wearing masks while driving, refusing to open their front door, and washing down doorknobs in their own home like something right out of a horror film.  What a bunch of mindless sheep. One extreme to the other.

These sanctuary state governors were slow to respond, almost being defiant to President Trump like Pelosi who told people to go to Chinatown, or DeBlasio that told people to go to the movies, and like New Orleans which is a sanctuary city in a non-sanctuary state but run by a Democrat governor. They held Mardi Gras at end of February which was way after knowing about the threat of the Bat Virus.

Now this same sanctuary county that I am a proud property owner in :/ is requiring masks when being outside your home in every setting, even for a walk.  They’ve shut down tennis courts, hiking paths, pools, and golf courses.  Nurseries too are even closed.  Crazy overkill.  People can social distance in all of the above situations IMO.

Did the liberal defiant attitude of these governors contribute to sanctuary states and cities receiving the most cases and deaths?  Hmmm.  ):>0  Here is a list of sanctuary states. The ones with asterisks are in the top seven highest death counts from the Bat Virus in the U.S.:

States

*California
Colorado
Connecticut
*Illinois
*Massachusetts
*New Jersey
New Mexico
*New York
Oregon
Vermont
Washington

Michigan and Pennsylvania are also part of the top seven list of death counts but are not sanctuary states, however, are run by Democrat governors. In fact, all the sanctuary states are run by Democrat governors. Duh!

 

Covid 19 is a term I don’t like saying and am tired of hearing as well as “the new norm”.  These terms were created by political correct politicians, the media, and the W.H.O.  Bat Virus or China Virus and “back to normal with safety first” is what we should be calling it. No tiptoeing through the tulips with these snowflake terms.

Now that people are protesting strict shutdowns of their businesses that are suffering, it shows that We the People are taking our country back.  Only the liberal, liberal elite areas will continue to suffer from their defiant governor’s total control and remain silent in their solar-paneled houses eating tofu and arugula like sheep. Stupid.

VOTE DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS OUT!  STOP STATES FROM TURNING SANCTUARY! YOUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON IT!

Pelosi is Obsessed with the President. Not in a Good Way.

I’ve noticed lately that Nancy, more so than her cohorts, is becoming increasingly obsessed with the president. She cannot stop bad-mouthing Trump’s plans almost like a scorned high school girl obsessed with the girl who stole her boyfriend.  She’s becoming central casting for a Lifetime Movie at this point entitled, Her Sole Obsession.

Her condition started out almost innocently with the Russia Russia Russia Hoax but then when that blew up in her face after the Mueller Report was released, she went all in on the Ukraine Hoax which led to the Impeachment Sham which she was totally pulling the strings for. Then when she had the meltdown during the State of the Union Address and ripped her copy up on camera for the world to see, that’s when her obsessive hatred was exposed.  She has become the puppet master to eliminate Trump from office, not Obama, not AOC, not Rashid, not Schumer, not Schiff, she is the leader of the pack as she has become obsessed.  And no one can stop her or control her.

Nothing more motivating than failure to become obsessed with someone that is succeeding everyday in his job.

“Psychiatrists in the US are seeking to have ‘post-traumatic embitterment disorder’ recognized as a mental illness. The German psychiatrist who came up with the name, Dr Michael Linden, says people with this disorder are angry, pessimistic, aggressive, hopeless haters intent on revenge. He points to an estimate of one to two per cent of the population suffering this all-consuming bitterness, and says “they are almost treatment resistant – revenge is not a treatment” NewCastleHerald

The underlined words in the aforementioned quote describe Nancy to a tee.  I’m not a psychologist but obsessive hatred from a “post traumatic embitterment” when Trump won the election seems to be what Nancy is suffering from. This combined with all his successes as President and all her failures to oust him have sent her over the top.  Her latest quest to discredit Trump is to claim his handling of the pandemic was too late and incompetent which, of course, is irrational if not outright lying.  Here’s one:

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made numerous false claims during an MSNBC interview on Friday, and claimed that the coronavirus crisis in the United States was “largely of” President Donald Trump’s “making,” and that he was responsible for Americans dying.” Daily Caller

It’s all Trump’s fault. That’s her default excuse for anything wrong. So we can see she has lost it.  She just moves on to the next hoax–Trump’s Coronavirus Crisis Failure.  Nothing coming out of her mouth is from a sane person.  It is from a person suffering from a mental illness. She shows lack of empathy for the people suffering from unemployment and doesn’t case.  She shows lack of empathy for the healthcare workers risking their lives everyday and doesn’t care.  She shows lack of empathy for small businesses going under daily from the shut down and doesn’t care. She doesn’t have the capacity to care. She’s insensitive to America’s pain and suffering.  She’s lost it.

Her obsession to take out Trump is all that’s on her mind.  Nothing else matters. When a stimulus bill comes up for vote, she stalls it so more folks will be laid off raising the unemployment numbers to hurt Trump.  That’s all she cares about.  That’s her mission: to take out Trump and get back total control of the country into the Democrats’ hands.  Like the scorned high school girl seeking revenge on the girl who stole her boyfriend.  But what she doesn’t realize is that most of the country doesn’t want to be back in the Dem’s control just as the boyfriend doesn’t want his old girlfriend back. She’s on a fool’s errand.

Her followers and sycophants claim she is powerful, strong, and tough when she behaves like this.  Woman empowerment is what they’re seeing, but they are misreading her actions as strength.  They are nothing more than obsessive hatred for a man that she can’t control, and it has driven her cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.  

Maybe all that sugar and chocolate ice cream she eats (like a high school girl) has ruined her brain.  Sugar is a killer.  She ought to empty out her freezer and her family should be seeking her a good therapist.  She should also resign as she has more unemployment and bankruptcy blood on her hands than anyone in congress right now.  Politicizing the Bat Virus against Trump only hurts Americans and will get her nowhere.  She needs to resign before more lives are destroyed by her mental illness.

GET SOME HELP, NANCY!

China Unleashed a Deadly “Bat Virus” on the World While Sealing Off Wuhan From the Rest of China.

What does this tell us?  Answer:  They knew it was deadly and wanted to keep it from spreading to the rest of China but allowed these same quarantined people to travel abroad.  The Bat Virus also known as the China Virus, the Wuhan Virus or the more politically correct, according to W.H.O. and the media, the Covid-19 Virus was spread by citizens of Wuhan that were allowed to travel abroad after their government knew they may be infected.  Their government also failed to tell the world that this Bat Virus could be contagious from human to human.  Was their silence unintentional or malice?  :/

Something else that is curious, but hopefully not another layer of a conspiracy, was the fact that in 2015 nearing our election year when our FBI and CIA had gone rogue by coming up with insurance plans to keep Trump from being president, Obama gave a Grant of 3.5 million to the same lab that unleashed the Chinese Bat Virus.  Now a government conspiracy thriller novelist would use this fact to come up with a plot that maybe, just maybe, this contagion was a hit for hire as part of the FBI’s insurance plan to ruin Trump’s presidency before he was up for reelection. Just maybe.

I know it is far-fetched, but that’s just the conspiracy mind in me.  Freud didn’t believe in coincidences; I don’t either.  Let’s hope it was just Obama being very generous with OUR money to the same exact lab in Wuhan that studies bats and one careless lab worker got infected and went home and spread it around and it traveled overseas and caused 154,000 deaths worldwide with 2.2 million cases…tanking the booming U.S. economy…threatening Trump’s second term.  Let’s just hope that’s all it was. :/

When Trump ran for president he promised to eradicate ISIS as they were spreading havoc around the world and no one seemed to know how to stop them.  What does ISIS have in common with the Bat Virus?  They both live in caves, they’re both deadly, and they’ll both be eradicated by Trump.   If Trump was successful in eradicating ISIS why wouldn’t he be successful in eradicating the Chinese Bat Virus? It’s a war, just a different kind of war. One with guns and bombs and the other with hiding in our homes washing our hands.  Let’s give him some credit that he knows what he’s doing.  So far he has listened to his advisers and experts, it’s now time for him to use his instincts and intuitions which are pretty good to get our economy back on track.  He did it once, let’s see if he can do it again. :/

Democrat governors need to swallow their pride and open up their state in stages. Enough with the politics they’re trying to play like Cuomo and Michigan’s governor. I can’t believe Cuomo blamed Trump for his overzealous ordering of ventilators and beds claiming he used “Trump’s models” when ordering.  Trump didn’t come up with these models that overestimated deaths.  Doctors Fauci and Birx vouched for the models, not Trump.  That was a cheap shot. Now Trump is getting blamed for “scientific models” that he was told were accurate.  Unbelievable. I thought Democrats love “science.”  Not so much if Trump is involved.  :/

This would be akin to Trump buying into the “climate change hoax” hook, line, and sinker then after implementing the Green New Deal (which would bankrupt our country and put millions out of work in the fossil fuel industry, automobile industry, health insurance industry, real estate companies, and wall street) the left would blame Trump for the idea that they all wanted in the first place.  Nice try Cuomo.  Do your job and stop with the pressers.

When Mayor DeBlasio was telling New Yorkers to ignore warnings and go to the theater, Trump was banning flights from China and Europe and catching hell. When Nancy was telling San Franciscans to ignore warnings and go to Chinatown and enjoy their food, Trump was coming up with the Guidelines to avoid exposure to the Chinese Bat Virus after the sting of just being impeached.  And they say Trump mishandled the pandemic? I don’t think so. 

People need to get outside for their mental and physical health, especially seniors who are retired.  Some of them are on “doctors orders” to exercise whether it be at a gym or pool or golf or tennis or just walking.  To close down these activities and contain people indoors for extended periods is just destroying their lives and livelihood in their final years not to mention our economy.  It’s cruel and unusual punishment because of a Chinese Bat Virus that they probably won’t be exposed to as they will take extreme precautions. We are all responsible for our own lives. 🙂

OPEN UP AMERICA FOR BUSINESS.  THE BAT VIRUS CAN’T HAVE TOTAL CONTROL.  

 

Democrats Are Being Ungrateful.

HIDE YOUR HORSES!

If Republicans are deplorable, irredeemable, racist, xenophobic, dregs of society then I propose that Democrats are ungrateful among other things. I stumbled upon a comment section of a CBS article about George W. Bush.  The comments afterwards by Democrats praised Bush and wished he was president now.  This is stupid as these same people used to chant “Bush lied, people died.”  They have the nerve to be asking for Bush to come save us from Trump.  They should be thanking Trump.

Bush has been silent for three years while Trump got impeached for no reason.  Where was he then?  Noticeably absent.  He has become the John Roberts of ex presidents trying to be liked by the Democrats.  It seems to have worked. But at what price being liked? Where’s his character, constitution, and convictions? I’m frankly surprised by his silence.

Trump has done the most efficient job of any president in modern history during this war against an invisible enemy from enlisting the help of the private sector, scientists, and manufacturers to supplying every state with their demanding requests to threatening W.H.O. for lying to the world to getting monies to people that have lost jobs to being optimistic in his daily press conferences rather than doom and gloom like Cuomo.  Yet I hear Democrats praising Cuomo for his “excellent leadership” during this pandemic. Please. “Whiner and Chief” of New York.

Today Cuomo talked about his poor mother that he can’t visit and how he is bonding with his daughters.  TMI!  That’s not relevant during a pandemic.  He’s lucky to have any parent alive at his age. All he’s done is whine and talk down to us like we’re third graders.  Trump doesn’t talk down to us nor talk about his private conversations with his son.  And when Cuomo said, “God has nothing to do with the decline in hospitalizations” that offended me as people are praying everyday for the virus to starve.

Democrat states, cities, and counties are behaving poorly during this shelter in place.  In Santa Rosa the police made 40 arrests of people who left their homes for nonessential reasons. They are fining them $1,000.  Sonoma County is making it mandatory to wear a mask when coming out your front door.  Stupid.  There’s plenty of open space to walk in without seeing another person.  In Lake Tahoe a hotel/casino says it won’t reopen as it can’t afford to.  This is crazy.  Soon golf courses will be filing for bankruptcy and saying they won’t reopen.  This is when the states, cities, and counties get it wrong especially if run by Democrats.  They take it too far.

Now that the Democrat governors have an “open invitation” to put their state back to work (rather than Trump acting like king and doing it for them), watch them make excuses why they don’t think it’s prudent.  They should be thanking him for allowing the governors to handle it, instead they’re whining like babies.

Trump saved thousands of lives with his actions–not lame words sitting at a table with a mic, yet not one Democrat has thanked him.  Democrats won’t admit he’s done a good job at handling this pandemic. The ones in power like Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Schiff, Obama, and their media are setting a poor example for their party.

Being ungrateful and thankless gets passed down to their followers; i.e., two doctors in Florida stopped their car and stole a Trump sign off someone’s front lawn with their two children looking on.  They got arrested but probably are taking their cues from their leaders who treat Trump despicably.  Hate and ungratefulness is infectious and empowers people to break the law.  And here we have been thanking doctors lately.  From the two hospital CEOs saying they won’t treat Republicans with Covid to this, I’m beginning to think some doctors are acting bizarrely partisan. I’m sure that was not in the oath they took. Tip: Don’t wear a Trump hat to the hospital.

“All horse thieves are Democrat but not all Democrats are horse thieves,” is becoming more and more true today than when FDR’s grandfather said it or Ted Cruz.  What was true back then hasn’t changed much.  Why anyone would want to be part of a lawless, thankless party baffles me.  Lawless, lying ingrates.  Hide your horses!

VOTE THE INGRATES OUT!  

“Paradoxical Effect of Job Loss and Isolation Will Destroy More Lives Than the Virus Itself.”

doctor pointing x ray result beside man wearing black suit

Dr. Phil, psychologist, on the Ingraham Angle said, and I’m paraphrasing:

“There’s no x-ray for depression or anxiety.  There’s a tipping point where the problems of staying in lock up at home create more death and destruction in time than the virus itself.  Poverty kills more people. 

The fallout from this shut down will last for years as people’s lives are being destroyed.  A perfect storm of isolation and loneliness will cause people to suffer from heart disease and dementia. A paradoxical effect that will destroy more lives if you keep them home.

Seniors’ bodies will start to break down during a lock up. They need to protect themselves and do what they believe in. People are ingrained to protect themselves not hide in a cave. 

Children staying home without school are suffering too.  Parents aren’t trained to teach school.  Parents are over stressed trying to teach their children and put food on the table as well as work from home.”

The likes of Doctors Fauci and Birx are clueless to the psychology effects on people nor do they care.  They care about their specific scientific “field of expertise” but not the economy nor psychology. Thank you Dr. Phil for swallowing your pride and going on FOX to relay this message. He also went on to say that we probably shouldn’t have done the lock up in the first place; but now that were here, it needs to end. It will do more harm than prevention.

***

Thank you President Trump for the Three Phase Guideline for reopening of America.  It was the best news I’ve heard in months. It was genius and timely.  It made my day.  I was losing hope in America. Let’s pray that the governors will put politics aside and implement these guidelines in a timely manner. These guidelines were specific enough yet left room for states’ particular needs and concerns for the governors to interpret. I heard Jacksonville, Florida, opened their beaches today with proper social distancing. Little by little the governors will start to allow places to open up in stages.  It’s great.

If the governors ignore this Three Phase Guideline and plead for a vaccine first like I heard last night on CNN, we’ll know that they’re just being political and irrational as vaccines take months, if not years, to test. Trump will have to intervene if they don’t follow them.  That’s his job.  Buck stops at his desk.

This could become the “Battle of Red States versus Blue States” to see which are more successful recovering from both the pandemic crisis and economic downfall. Gov. Cuomo is already whining that he needs more money from the Feds for testing and Pelosi says the guidelines are too vague.  That either means she’s not smart enough to comprehend them or just had to say something negative.  She’s never had a kind word for Trump.

We are at war now and need the weapons at hand now, not two years from now. Let’s get out of lock up and get moving again for the sake of our mental health.

LISTEN TO DR. PHIL, HE KNOWS STUFF TOO.

Democrats Are Stonewalling Efforts For America to be “Open For Business.”

Why would they do that?  What is their reason?  Is it to save lives or something more nefarious like continuing the ruin of the economy? Nancy Pelosi is threatening Trump if he allows America to “reopen for business” under governors’ guidance.  She is also dragging her feet on the next stimulus bill to help companies make their payroll.  The Democrat party seems to want America’s economy to tank even more so they can run on “high unemployment and bankruptcies” across America.  This is evil at work.

Biden is complaining about Trump having his signature printed on the stimulus checks like Trump signed each one individually which is probably what he thinks.  What a stupid issue to run on. I suppose he wanted Obama’s signature on the check.  Biden better come up with some real issues to run on or he’s done.  He hasn’t had one program or policy of his own to present to America.  “Come on, man” seems to be his mantra. He’s also claiming Trump hasn’t taken responsibility for the pandemic.  Really?  It’s Trump’s fault?  Biden is an idiot if he really thinks that.  But I doubt he’s had an original thought in years. And when he answered, “That’s above my pay grade” I wondered what pay?  Who’s paying this guy and for what?

Biden sitting next to his silent, nodding wife during an interview this morning was reminiscent of the Bill and Hillary interview when Bill got caught in an affair with Jennifer Flowers. I guess the sexual assault accusation is getting to them. ‘Bout time. #metoo is calling.

More than ever our country needs to get back to work; and if our governors don’t agree, we should drive to our state capitol in a caravan with American flags waving and horns blaring like they did in Michigan.  Republicans, and some Democrats too, are fed up with the “stay at home” order.  We as Americans can be responsible for our own well being.  We’re not children. We’ll keep our distance from strangers, wear masks when appropriate, postpone get togethers, shop for essentials, wash our hands frequently, wear gloves when appropriate, and be kind to others. Now more than ever we need to be kind to others. We are all going through the same nightmare.

Some youth are going without a paycheck and don’t qualify for unemployment. Some youth won’t be able to pay their rent, health, or car insurance if this country doesn’t open up soon.  Some youth can’t afford food and have had to move back home with their parents. These are grown adults living at home with their parents. Oh sure, it’s fun for a couple of weeks but a house guest is like fish; after a while, they start to stink up the place. Not literally, but emotionally.

We don’t need the government to walk us through the reopening of our city.  We will use our own discretion on what stores, shops, or food establishments to patron.  Stores and restaurants will have their own rules. Companies need to be creative during this pandemic; and now that we got their attention, we should let them try.  Companies can require a temperature test when entering the building.  They can require employees to wear masks. They can rearrange the desks, put up clear plastic barriers, and have restrictions in their lunchrooms.  We don’t need the government to tell them what to do.  These are smart companies and with smart people that will come up with their own ideas.  Give them some credit.

My grown adult children who are working from their home look like they’ve lost hope in the future. They have nothing to plan, to look forward to, or strive for.  It is the look of hopelessness.  They need to get back to their offices and do their regular activities. They need to plan a trip or an outing with friends.  Too much at home with one person is not healthy for anybody.  They miss their sports, their friends, their trips, and families.

Open up the parks, beaches, schools, and hiking trails.  Give us some credit for keeping distance from others. Other businesses are open like grocery stores, liquor stores, fast food, post office, truckers, FedEx, Amazon, healthcare, and drug stores.  Are their employees less valuable than the rest of America’s workers?  Of course, not! And most of them are handling the pandemic with no complaints.

Reopen America for business before there’s nothing left to live for.

REOPEN AMERICA FOR BUSINESS! 

Obama Says, “One of the Best Decisions I Ever Made” Was Choosing Joe as VP.

REFLECTING ON OBAMA’S PAST DECISIONS.

That’s not saying much because all his decisions were bad.  Sorry.  Someone has to say it. Today his tepid endorsement of Joe Biden makes me reflect on his past decisions while president:  His decision to tell the soldiers in Benghazi to “stand down” was bad.  His decision to create a government run healthcare and tax those that didn’t sign up for it and to tax all medical equipment so high that hospitals had to order it from China was bad.  His decision to put stiff emission regulations on the automobile industry was bad. His decision to have a secret nongovernmental email address with Hillary was bad. His decision to invest in Solyndra was bad.  His decision to cover for Hillary during her obstruction of justice investigation was bad.

His decision to tell America that Benghazi was caused by a hateful video was bad. His decision to weaponize the IRS against conservative nonprofit groups was bad. His decision to tell the navy ship that got hijacked by Iran to “stand down” was bad. His decision to send 140 million in cash on pallets in the dead of night to Iran was bad. His decision to have the FBI come up with an “insurance plan” in case Trump won was bad.  His decision to go into the Paris Climate Accord which would raise our oil prices was bad. His nuclear deal with Iran was bad. His decision to ruin our economy was bad. His immigration plans or lack thereof were bad. His political correctness with radical Islamic terror was bad.  And his treatment of the Jewish was bad. And so on and so on.

But his worst decision and most impeachable was to weaponize the FBI and CIA to spy on the Donald Trump Campaign and other private citizens supporting Trump. Really, really bad and dumb.

So if choosing Biden was his BEST decision, that’s not saying much.  Sorry.
