From:
I'm a High-Risk Person, and I Object to the Coronavirus Panic
One of the most unforgettable moments in the movie Braveheart
takes place after William Wallace has been betrayed, captured by his
enemy Edward Longshanks, and condemned to death by torture. His lover
Princess Isabelle visits him in prison and begs Wallace to confess and
pledge his allegiance to King Edward, saying, "You will die. It will be
awful." Wallace responds, "Every man dies. Not every man truly
lives."
This
should not be news to you — we're all going to die. The only question
is whether we will die soon or sometime later. From the moment of your
birth, the mortal clock began to tick, and so began the number of your
days. If we live in constant fear of death, we will die in miserable
loneliness.
----------------
In 2004, Michael Crichton had his novel State of Fear
published. The suspense-thriller portrayed "climate change" alarmists
as criminals trying to induce panic among the general public in order to
manipulate and control the behavior of billions of people for profit.
----------------
It
is helpful to remember that according to some reports, every person who
dies after being diagnosed with coronavirus is counted as a death by
coronavirus, which inflates the statistics on virus deaths. And please
recall in 2018, a whopping 28,544 abortions were performed in
Georgia. Indeed, every man will die, but not everyone will be given the
opportunity to live.
-----------------
The
bottom line is simply this: the damage to our economy isn't worth the
additional risk to my own life. Statistically speaking, I'm equally if
not more likely to die in a traffic accident or of a heart attack than
coronavirus. We're all going to die sooner or later. It's never been a
question of "if," but "where," "when," and "how."
In the movie The Wrath of Khan, Mr. Spock chooses to sacrifice himself to save the crew of the USS Enterprise, telling Captain Kirk, "Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Not
being as smart or eloquent as Mr. Spock, I probably would have just
said, "I'm willing to take one for the team." Quite frankly, I loathe
the idea of being held hostage by a computer program that hasn't even
been in the ballpark on its predictions so far. And if I'm wrong, I'll
be the one paying the price, right?
America
needs to get back to work. My personal needs are not more important
than the rest of society. Reopening the economy for the benefit of all
is worth the risk I'm willing to take.

What Price are we Willing to Pay for LIFE and FREEDOM?
I am convinced now that the peak is in.
Using a factor of only 20% (1.2 multiple) increase per day, here's how it plays out and how the rate is declining. Pandemics are never cumulative, they are exponential till they are exhausted.

It is clear now from the exponential rise and fall of total loss of life due to coronavirus will be about 50,000 souls more or less by the time things start falling fast. The total loss by August will be less than 70,000.
This is about the loss of life from an ordinary flu season. The old, in-firmed and compromised are dying first. Every soul is precious, but every soul has an end they must face. Some who faced death and succumbed in this time were on the edge when they may or may not have become attacked by the Virus.
What has made this so much more difficult is how unknown this is. How there is no "Cure" nor Vaccine for it. Of course there are some efficacious treatments that are working in other parts of the world like France. They are not yet widespread here.
The political forces arrayed against life are willing to sacrifice people in exchange for posturing. Of course these same voices will argue that when measures are made to attempt to return society to some form of restoration, they will cry dollars over deaths. These same are quite happy to promote abortions because having a child is "Inconvenient".
So be careful who you listen to. Who is speaking lies and truth. The truth is Life is for the Living. At some point we must bury the dead and move forward. I think the instruction is understood for being careful as we move on. Let us measure the cost of freedom and life versus virtual martial law and self confinement.
50,000 by May, 70,000 by August. Too much... you decide. We decide.

Democrats opt for blackmail over small-business money — and the media covers for them
What a deal for Democrats: They get to hold the economy for ransom, and the media blithely cover for them.
On Thursday, Senate Democrats nixed a simple but urgent request to boost cash in the emergency small business loan program Congress set up this month from $350 billion to $600 billion.
------------------------
And the press proceeded to cover for them. A CNN headline, at first, correctly summed the story: “Democrats block a GOP-led funding boost for small business aid program.” The New York Times had a similar take. Minutes later, CNN moved to obscure Dem culpability with new wording: “Senate at stalemate over more COVID-19 aid.” The Times did likewise.
These left-leaning outlets don’t even care that their covering for Dems is so blatant. The Times took heat just this month for changing a headline, “Democrats Block Action” on the $2.2 trillion rescue plan, to “Partisan Divide Threatens Deal.” Yet that didn’t stop Thursday’s changeroo.
No wonder Dems are so willing to resort to blackmail: They can count on their puppets in the press never to report it that way.

Waiting On Another Kind Of Resurrection
Today is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter. These
holidays will be celebrated in ways that are completely foreign to
today’s Christians. But Christians will nevertheless celebrate the death
and resurrection of Jesus as they and the rest of the world look for a
more worldly resurrection.
According to some estimates, roughly half the world is under a
COVID-19 lockdown. It’s a radical step governments have chosen to stop
the spread of the disease. But with every change in public policy, there
are unavoidable, and often unintended consequences.Under the COVID-19 lockdowns, people are frustrated by having their
freedom of movement restricted; they’ve been unable to assemble at
theaters, concerts, sporting events, restaurants, and houses of worship;
workers are losing jobs, some of them permanently; businesses are
closing for good; and a recession might already be here.The world isn’t dead, but it is looking for a mortal resurrection.

The war on Christianity has taken a turn tor the worse
I could post something on the war the devil is waging on Christianity every day. How churches are being targeted. This one is an example:
Virginia Pastor Could Spend Year in Jail for Having 16 in 300-Person Church on Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday, the Reverend
Kevin Wilson's theme of the day was how people feted Christ as a King at
the beginning of the week only to have the mob recast him as a criminal
by the end.
Wilson would
never put himself on the same plane as his Savior, but he is beginning
to understand the criminal part all too well.
Before
his Palm Sunday service, a local police officer entered the Lighthouse
Fellowship Church in Chincoteague Island, Va., and announced to the few
assembled that they must be seated six feet apart with no more
than ten people inside the 300-seat church. The officer didn't ask to
see Wilson, who wasn't in the room at the time.
By
the end of the service, in which 16 worshipers were widely separated in
the 300-seat sanctuary, two officers wearing masks and gloves entered
the church and issued a criminal citation to the pastor for defying
Governor Ralph Northam's edict that where more than ten are gathered
there is a crime. (Yes, that Ralph Northam.)
Lighthouse Fellowship helps keep people free of drug addiction, brokenness, mental illness, poverty, and prostitution. Many of the members do not have driver’s licenses and are dependent on the church family for rides to get food, supplies, and go to medical appointments and personal care services like haircuts. Many attendees are on limited income obtained from government assistance -- whether disability or social security, Medicare or Medicaid. The church has helped various members with electric or gas bills, rent, groceries, physical labor and transportation for moving, donating time, expertise and resources for repairing and renovating houses and travel trailers, cooking meals, helping people to apply for disability benefits, providing rides to medical appointments, clothes, and wood for stoves, fuel for cars, and cutting grass. The church also offers a blanket ministry, prayer ministry, discipleship programs, and counseling services.
It sure sounds like an essential business to me.
Another egregious:

Pelosi is the lowest form of a serpent vermin cross genetic. EVIL
Nancy Pelosi warned Donald Trump against reopening businesses too soon,
even though the federal government has no real authority to shut them
down in the first place. Pelosi also announced that she won’t be
re-opening the House any time soon either, certainly not by their April
20 return date:
Pelosi: House may not reconvene until May — or longer
If you genetically combined a viper and a rat the progeny would be Nancy Pelosi

I am not at all convinced this is true, but the press ignored the Holacost 80 years ago... sooooo
Locals in Wuhan, where the Chinese coronavirus pandemic originated, have
heard screams coming from funeral home furnaces, and some treated in
hospitals say they saw workers put living coronavirus patients in body
bags.
"One old lady was saying that they put one guy into … a body bag when he wasn’t even dead yet, and took him off to the crematorium because there was no way of saving him,” Ma told RFA.
Video of an older woman speaking anonymously to a camera began circulating on social media in February in which she said she witnessed a patient next to her at a Wuhan hospital stuffed into a body bag while still alive.
“He’s not dead, his feet and hands are still moving,” the woman says, “[They] wrapped him in a plastic body bag and zipped it up.”
IF this is true at any level, it must be made public. I don't know it if is.. but the Chinese government is brutal.

This Pope is Hopeless
Pope Says Virus Is Nature's Response to the Climate Crisis
"We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that 18 months ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods?" the Pope said.
"I don't know if these are the revenge of nature, but they are certainly nature's responses," he added.
He is a strange person.

30 regulations that stymied Trump's virus response
A wall of federal regulations has jammed the brakes on the Trump administration’s efforts to react swiftly to the coronavirus pandemic, prompting new calls for a full house cleaning of the hurdles as part of the next stimulus package now being developed in Congress.
A new list shows at least 30 rules and regulations have helped to slow or stop President Trump’s “war” on the virus, such as burdensome testing required of promising cures, and in some cases helped to spread it, such as bans on disposable bags that encourage repeated use of dirty reusable ones.I have lost ALL respect for anyone who considers themselves a Liberal
I have many friends who hate Trump, who think anything he does is terrible. They believe all sorts of lies the liberal media spins. They believe it without a smidgen of critical thinking.
They are pitiful people. I used to assume they actually had valid opinions about anything. I no longer do. I consider them in large part foolish, ignorant and gullible.
I am not under the illusion Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread. That is not true. He has many obvious flaws. One of them is not being suckered in easily.
I hope someday those who are blinded by hate and liberal media lies will wake up.. but if they do they will have to come back a long way to clear thinking.
That may not be possible.

There is huge growth potential right now.. if you have the guts.
At the same time there is a lot of money on the sidelines, all those stock sales in the recent past went somewhere.. In banks and under mattresses. It will soon look for a home.

Fraud in Virus Death Count
It has been revealed:
Dr. Birx Confirms Anyone Who Dies WITH Coronavirus, Regardless of Any Underlying Health Condition, is Being Counted as a COVID-19 Death
This means that if someone has CV-19 and dies of a heart attack, it's a Virus death. If you have a car accident and had the virus, its a virus death. If you have the virus and are struck by lightning you are a virus death.
We are being played.

Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around,
16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way
they, we can both have a democracy and … correct the public health.”
I'm joking of course, but the truth is, Joe Biden is becoming a sad old man and deserves the respect to be able to step down from the Presidential Race without shaming. He is lost and is scary, not dangerous. Scary.

They also claim with a straight face that no one died at Tiananmen Square in

It's not Racism or White Privilege
As of Saturday, 70% of the 86 Chicago residents dying from the
coronavirus were African Americans; the city’s population is 29% black.
The Chicago Mayor Lightfoot is in a panic. I don't doubt the statistic. I believe it to be true. Yet there is implicit an accusation of racism involved.
I know people in Chicago in the Black Population. Many are friends of mine. The fact is some are obese, Diabetic, sedentary, high blood pressure, poor eating habits and not really taking care of themselves. Plus a fair portion ignore advice regarding keeping your distance.
I heard and know the arguments. No local good food markets. No local good health care facilities. No good way to get around. No good housing. All true. It's not racism, it is geographic demographics.
Yet the truth is of all the deaths in Chicago among the black population, I would be interested to know what percent of them were compromised by what is mentioned above.
It is all convenient to blame others, make people feel like victims, imply racism, white privilege but a peek in the mirror and a look in the fridge might answer a lot of questions.
To be fair, many people in this population are workers as Nurses and other health care workers. They are carrying this into the community. The idea of making this a racial argument is terrible.
Many people are able to escape this mess.. but for some reason they don't.
Tragic.
Here is an article sympathetic to Lightfoot's call.
The Chicago Mayor Lightfoot is in a panic. I don't doubt the statistic. I believe it to be true. Yet there is implicit an accusation of racism involved.
I know people in Chicago in the Black Population. Many are friends of mine. The fact is some are obese, Diabetic, sedentary, high blood pressure, poor eating habits and not really taking care of themselves. Plus a fair portion ignore advice regarding keeping your distance.
I heard and know the arguments. No local good food markets. No local good health care facilities. No good way to get around. No good housing. All true. It's not racism, it is geographic demographics.
Yet the truth is of all the deaths in Chicago among the black population, I would be interested to know what percent of them were compromised by what is mentioned above.
It is all convenient to blame others, make people feel like victims, imply racism, white privilege but a peek in the mirror and a look in the fridge might answer a lot of questions.
To be fair, many people in this population are workers as Nurses and other health care workers. They are carrying this into the community. The idea of making this a racial argument is terrible.
Many people are able to escape this mess.. but for some reason they don't.
Tragic.

The Tide May Have Turned Already
Using a factor of only 20% increase per day here's how it plays out. Pandemics are never cumulative, they are exponential till they are exhausted.

I am not convinced it will run the full course. At some point the virus exhausts from a lack of vulnerable hosts and victims. Yet, this is serious and needs to be understood by Mathematics.

Our rights are eroded by crisis
There was a time when you could walk on any commercial
airliner without restraint. If you were ticketed, they directed you where to go.
No molestation. Nothing.
I recall once running to a Northwest Flight to Winnipeg
Manitoba. I bought the ticket and ran to
the plane. This was in the late 60s
early 70s. Flying was easy then.
However after that several Hijackings took place. This meant metal detectors to get to the
gate. But the whole family could gather
there. The last one of significance was
in 1989 over Lockerbie Scotland, Pan Am 103.
Then security was increased a great deal at airports around the
world. Most Hijackings pretty much
stopped, but freedom to fly was much changed.
The world changed and not for the better. This was the case and it worked pretty well
until 9-11. The planes hijacked and used
as weapons in New York City and at the Pentagon meant we are missing something. Even though the vast majority of these events
of hijacking and 9-11 were caused by Radical Muslim Terrorists, we have all
been stripped of more rights. Now flying
is a pain. TSA. One dope tried to light his shoe on fire… and
so.. now we walk barefoot in Airports.
It has become very hard to fly
and it’s changed the whole atmosphere.
Homeland Security, the patriot act and TSA and a dozen other
useless bureaucracies now rule us by default.
So as we look at the world to come after the Corona 19
pandemic, how many MORE of our fundamental constitutional rights will be
stripped away. TOO MANY.
I am going to suggest that we stop trying to live in a
perfectly safe world. Freedom is not
free if we live virtual prison life. It
is high time to stop being worried about every little thing.
Safety First is a misnomer.
It should be Safety THIRD. It
should be Freedom First.
I know we are about to change.. but we don’t have to change
for the sake of change.

D-Day was a day of terror .. and Fear will consume you if you let it.
Who will you be, become and end up as the days wear on? It's a choice.
Someday our President?
I have always admired Marco Rubio. I was not happy when during the primary of 2016 that Trump called him "Little Marco".
Don't get me wrong. Trump is the right man for this time. Someday we will need more sober leadership in the White House. So while many have Kushner or Pence in 2024 (either Kushner) I can't help but think Rubio might be our man.
It's a long time off.. but watch this space. My gut is often right and years ago I said I thought he would be POTUS someday.
He is the head of the SBA oversight committee and doing a good job.

Everyone Jumps Off Bridge After New Government Order Telling Everyone To Jump Off Bridge
After state governments across the country directed their citizens to
shut down their businesses and just kinda hope things worked out, a new
order has been issued: everyone is to jump off a bridge immediately.
A government official issued the order to solve our current crisis, and everyone immediately complied.
"Everyone jump off a bridge," said a representative of the government.
"OK," said everyone. "If the government says so, it's probably a good idea. Besides, what can we do? It's the government. They definitely have the best people working on it."
The directive was designed to end coronavirus. Medical experts believe it's the best, most effective way to stop the virus. Assuming everyone follows through and obeys the order, coronavirus will be wiped out, according to officials. There are no bad side effects, as far as anyone can tell. A few people pointed out that jumping off a bridge could kill everyone, but these people are anti-science and obviously hate their neighbors.
I didn't want to post the whole blog. But it's so good and the picture.... You NEED to read the Babylon Bee every day. It is the only real news out there.

No One Here Gets Out Alive
The article linked below is good. I stirred a thought. We are in the USA like we are all on a train. A train rushing toward some eventual end. Till a couple months ago the ride was pretty good. We enjoyed the ride such as it was. A bit bumpy sometimes but for the most part a great ride.
Then some of the passengers, some more than usual were put off the train because they died. Some early. Every day on the train some didn't make it. It was understood by all the passengers on the train that no one will get off the train alive. There was no choice. It just when your stop came and you were removed your ride was over.
For some it was tragic if they had to leave the train too soon. Some who had been on the train a long time and could cope with the rough tracks and bumpy ride from time to time finally ended the ride. Maybe a bit earlier than normal, but the end came.
When several of the passengers were told that they potentially would be taken off the train early because of some malady spreading thru the train cars, the conductors took it into their hands to try to change the ultimate destination of every rider. STAY IN YOUR SEATS, DON'T BREATH ON EACH OTHER, STAY APART, ONLY ONE PERSON TO THE TOILET AT A TIME AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. The fear and terror in their mantra scared everyone into submission.
This announcement was made over and over and over again. The number of people being offloaded after dying was increasing some.. but not with levels that should impose the level of terror being postulated.
Before the commands to stay in your seat, there was a dining car, nice. There was a bar car with music and dancing. There was a car for teaching the young ones. There was a car where they showed movies. There was a gift shop car. There was a car where you could simply look at the passing scenery on your trip to together forever.
All that stopped.
Eventually someone asked the important question, it grew in intensity. IF no one here gets out alive, why are we all dying slowly in our seats covered and apart?
It's a question we need to ask.
Some one did, read this.
