Covid-19

It has almost been a year that the world has been battling the pandemic. Yes it is a world problem. This is not a Democratic hoax that the rest of world would conspire with the Democratic Party to bring down the Trump administration. People are out there are really getting sick and really dying and not enough is being done to prevent the disease. What really scares me is that there are people out there that don’t care. As long as they can go to the bar and have their beer or go to church on Sunday so they can pretend that they are religious they could care less if some unknown person to them dies. If someone with a preexisting condition die it’s oh well they had a preexisting condition and that is what killed them. It wouldn’t matter that the person may have been able to live a few more years with that preexisting condition.  This is not a right or left problem it is a life or death problem. We are in one of the worst weeks of the virus yet and we have a government official in the Trump administration running around trying to insight domestic terrorism.  This man is not a son of liberty. He is a bringer of chaos and yes death. What does this have to do about liberty? What does this have to do with no taxation without representation? Nothing! Your neighbor has a right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We should be working hard that everyone a year from now can pursue life liberty and happiness.

In Florida our Governor seems to be working at misinformation more than the Trump administration did. He fires his data expert, the person who actually created the data base for tracking the data. His solution appears to be hiding the numbers. How can people make sound decisions without sound data? This is just nuts. He has now hired an Uber driver and a part time sports blogger from out of state to bea Covid-19 Data Analyst. He isn’t an expert of any kind. His name is Kyle Lamb. Look him up and decide whether you want him to make decisions that could affect not only your life but the lives of your children and grandchildren. I wouldn’t! I will say again “this is nuts”.  The lack of information from our Governor is putting peoples live at risk. I don’t think that they have a clue how many people have died down here. At this point the only way they are going to find out a close number is by comparing other year’s data and calculating the spike in deaths. This is not a good look for the State of Florida.

I have stated before if you vote for people that think government is bad then what you will get is bad government. Government cannot solve all of problems but they should not be making things worse. I believe that a large portion of our government tried to put the economy in front of people’s lives. The problem with that is that I feel over the long haul you do more damage to both. In my opinion they have not done near enough to help the small community businesses. They gave everyone 1200 dollars to spend to prop up the economy weather we you needed the money or not but stopped way short of really helping the little guy. These business owners are caught between a rock and a hard place. In some cases they open and run the risk of their cliental getting sick or having to shutter the doors. What is the answer? I don’t know but I would think that this is what our Governor should be working on and not trying to hide the numbers.

We are now approaching the number of US soldiers that died during World War 2. We were in that war for 4 years and we have been fighting this virus for less than one. During World War 2 we, as a nation, sacrificed for the good of the war and for the good of our soldiers. Gas rationing, meat rationing and things like that. Our government states that we are at war with this virus. Now we have groups that can’t sacrifice anything for this “war effort”.  They won’t even wear a mask that will save lives.

To walk a straight line you need both your right and your left working together if not then you will spend a lot of time falling down and right now we are spending a lot of time on the ground.

People care about your neighbor and at least wear a mask.

  The hidden tax. Tariffs cause a hidden tax that never really goes away. I hope that Americans are tired of being told fairy tales about why everything costs more. Our elected officials point fingers. Corporations blame supply chains. Commentators blame inflation. The truth is much simpler and infuriating: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people, and the pain does not stop when the policy ends. It sticks. It lingers. It rarely delivers what we were promised. This is the mess we are in now because of the tariffs imposed by the current administration. Tariffs are sold as strength, as toughness – a way to punish governments and to bring back manufacturing jobs. That pitch works on conservatives who want control, moderates who want fairness, progressives who want domestic industry, and politicians trying to get elected. It is a message built to unite. The policy itself does the opposite. It drains the wallets of the very people that it claims to protect. Here is how it actually works. ...

  When I was young, I was told that “Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll” was going to ruin the country. What I am seeing today is that “Sex, Politicians, and Espionage” is actually what is ruining the country and our democracy. Just think about it. When sex, secrecy, and political power get mixed together, every intelligence service in the world pays attention. The Epstein files aren’t just about a criminal and the rich people that he surrounded himself with. They show how sexual exploitation creates the kind of vulnerabilities foreign governments like Russia dream of. The most uncomfortable part of that truth is that other countries, such as Great Britain, are taking that threat more seriously than we are. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just commit crimes. He built a system. He targeted vulnerable girls, groomed them, controlled them, and used them to gain access to powerful men. That abuse wasn’t just immoral; it gave him power and leverage. Victims were scared, ashamed, and often silenced. P...

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...
