Influencing Elections

sunbeam July 16, 2020 Comments Off

Many people have become quite jaded about politicians keeping the promises they made while campaigning for office. There have been so many instances of politicians walking away from campaign promises as soon as election day is over. One might say that such politicians were lying to the public. And unfortunately, it is a disease that affects politicians on both sides of the aisle.

However jaded one might be, this statement by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raises eyebrows across the political spectrum.

Penn State Punts

News is now surfacing that some NCAA conferences are punting on a full football season. Why this is happening is a topic for another post. While many of us have recognized for some time that higher education in this country has been compromised on the altar of political correctness, the recent lack of intestinal fortitude by Penn State is stunning.

Arched eyebrows are becoming a regular thing among economic experts who forecast the future of the economy. At least this time they got the sign right. Experts were predicting an 8% rise in May. It turns out that retail sales jumped 17.7%, more than double the experts’ estimates. This is the largest one-month increase in the history of the country.

Trial Balloons

Governor Gavin Newsome of California became the latest governor to float a trial balloon on how long he can deny the constitutional rights of American citizens living in his state. Newsom told residents in his state not to expect life to go back to normal from the coronavirus pandemic until after a vaccine is rolled out.

Newsome follows Governor Whitmer of Michigan who has indicated that she will ignore her legislature telling her to end her lockdown orders. Whitmer is a wannabe dictator who does not want to give up the powers she has usurped.

Shredding The Bill of Rights

The stakes are escalating daily as authoritarian government officials deny their citizens the right to earn a living and/or to attend religious services and/or just to enjoy the simple rights of free association. Citizens who are following the CDC guidelines have been arrested and charged with violating lockdown orders that came from their local government officials. The repressive nature of some of those people who have been elected to serve us is going on display all over the country.

The time has long since passed that people need to be confined to their homes if there ever was a need to do so in the first place. Now if someone is sick with COVID-19, there may be a need for quarantine. But, government has been shutting healthy people in their homes and preventing healthy people from making a living.

Free Exercise Of Religion Attacked

Fundamental liberties do not end because there is a pandemic. Individual rights in our Constitution do not disappear during a public health crisis. This does not mean that quarantine cannot be imposed if someone has been exposed to a highly communicable and/or deadly disease. However, measures taken need to be even-handed. A government entity is not permitted to discriminate against one group while allowing another group to engage in the same or similar activity. There can be no disparate treatment.

Last week Greenville, Mississippi mayor Errick Simmons, a Democrat, and the city council banned churches from hosting drive-in services.

“The City of Greenville put in place an Executive Order that orders all church buildings closed for in person and drive-in church services, until the State of Mississippi’s Shelter In Place Executive Order No. 1466 is lifted by Governor Tate Reeves. Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming, and telephonic platforms,” the order read.

The governor’s order (EO 1466) recommended that church services not be in person but, he did not prohibit drive-in services. “Mississippi is not China, and it never will be,” Reeves insisted.

Wuhan Flu Treatment Update

Things continue to change very quickly on the frontlines.

Dr. Zelenko’s (Jewish doctor in NY) cocktail of three cheap, proven and widely available drugs has now been used to treat 699 patients in the greater New York area. This out-patient treatment consists of the common anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine with the popular antibotic azithromycin (known as Z-Pak) and zinc sulfate. Doses of vitamin C have been added to the treatment.

To date only four patients have needed hospitalization. Other doctors in the NY metropolitan area who have decided to try this treatment regimen are reporting similar results.

Coronavirus Hoaxes

sunbeam March 19, 2020 Comments Off

As anyone who has followed the Trump presidency knows, the Democrats and their media allies will create a hoax out of nothing. They will sell it to the American public as the latest example of incompetence, of racism, of ignorance, etc. They create these works of fiction to foster hysteria, a sense of outrage and a panic that the world as we know it is ending. Their ultimate goal is the removal of PDJT from office.

So, it is not surprising to see the Democrats and their joined-at-the-hip allies in the media attacking PDJT with more lies in the middle of a global pandemic. While the President is asking all to come together as a country to overcome the challenges that the Wuhan virus is creating, the Democrats just see the pandemic as another opportunity to oust our duly elected President from office. This is the mantra of the power-mad, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

DNC Primary Update

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden appear to be well on their way to providing America with the possibility of watching a circus unfold in Milwaukee this summer. The possibility of a brokered convention is rising. And it may be a lot worse than that. Bernie Bros are threatening to burn the city if Sanders does not get the nomination.

Fascism

Reagan wasn’t the only person to predict that fascism would re-emerge with more friendly face. Late comedian George Carlin, who was no right-winger and certainly no fan of the 40th president, famously warned that fascism would return with a “smile on its face.”
