Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

The Democrats just keep going lower ...

I will never ever vote for a Democrat again. 

I have in the past, when I was much younger. But that will not happen again. Ever.

The Democrat Party has finally crossed the last threshold with me. It’s using the coronavirus as a political lever to sneak through plans and programs they know could otherwise never pass legislatively. Why wouldn’t these? Because these are stupid and wasteful ideas designed solely to expand the role of government into everything and increase everyone’s dependence on it.

It’s an absolute travesty. It’s a con job. They are fostering fear and uncertainty about whether any of us live or die for naked political gain. 

It’s not enough to blame Trump for the coronavirus, which is ridiculous. No, they want to convince Americans that Trump is doing nothing to protect them. They claim he’s hiding the “real” number of infected Americans and the danger to everyone here from the coronavirus. Instead of taking bold action, Trump’s pretending it’s not that big of a deal, they say.  It’s clear – to them – that he doesn’t believe in science or is listening to health professionals. 

He's obviously more worried about the economy than saving American lives; this just shows how he favors the rich and corporate America over average families, the Democrats claim. 

They’re blaming him for the lack of test kits – although part of the shortfall is because manufacturers can’t get important components like reagents because, wait for it: those are manufactured overseas in places like China. The same China that gave us the coronavirus, is trying to shift blame for it to the U.S., and has openly threatened to cut off supplies of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals to us unless we stop criticizing it. 

Democrats are pushing the idea that everyone who wants a coronavirus test should get one for free, immediately. Which means all the assholes who panicked and wiped out supplies of toilet paper and bottled water would suddenly descend on every doctor’s office, emergency room, and hospital every time they simply sneezed. This would overwhelm our entire health system unnecessarily. Which would also prevent anyone truly ill from getting necessary treatment.

Democrats want to instantly dump billions more into Medicaid, food stamps, paid sick leave, and unemployment benefits, while killing any work requirements for SNAP benefits.  If these all sound familiar it’s because these are what Democrats have demanded for years. They just have a new justification: coronavirus. 

They’re also talking about giving $1,000 to everybody, yes everybody, to help us all make ends meet while the plague envelops us. 

This is just phase one, according to Nancy Pelosi. Expect more ornaments on her tree to come. The Democrats’ wish list is just starting. They’ll milk this crisis for all they can. And that’s why my disdain for the Democrats grows stronger every day. 

Eventually, the coronavirus spread will end.  It will burn out like other viruses always have.  Just like our annual influenza outbreak does.  But I honestly believe Democrats and the media will try to keep the coronavirus hysteria going as long as possible.

Fear sells, fear increases ratings, and fear allows more cover for scammers like the Democrats.  

For now, the best advice is simple. Don’t hang around sick people. If you’re sick stay home.  Wash your hands. Clean surfaces with antibacterial wipes often. Avoid crowds. Avoid touching others or things others have touched. That’s pretty much it. 

If you’re old or have an underlying health condition be more alert about all of the above.

And wait for this to pass. Which it will.

There are valuable lessons to be learned from this. 

Most importantly, China is not our friend; it is our rival and wants to replace us as the world’s superpower. The coronavirus outbreak – and how China handled it and is trying to shift blame now – should prove that no one in the world should ever trust China.  On anything.  It’s engaged in an asymmetric non kinetic war with us; that means it’s not dropping bombs or shooting missiles at us now, but it’s a war on a variety of fronts for global supremacy, nonetheless. 

Next, Democrats have absolutely no ethics.  They truly believe the end justifies the means; the only thing that matters is winning. They are desperate to regain power and they don’t care if they terrify the populace, destroy the economy, or destroy Americans’ faith in each other or our institutions to do that. Trump is merely the symptom of everything that stands in their way. 

Has Trump made mistakes? Sure.  But has he done nothing to save lives? 

Nonsense. 

Has he done enough? Probably not. 

But I don’t think a Democrat President would have done any better.  Certainly not either of the clowns Democrats are about to nominate. 

Rest assured, I won’t vote for either of them. Nor for any other Democrat in my lifetime.  They sealed that deal for me with the way they are politicizing the coronavirus outbreak. 

It’s beyond shameful.

  1. Are you trying to say that due to this Chinese virus we shouldn't start federally funding abortion? I'm sure that you are aware that sporting events, theater, and other entertainment venues are being canceled. With these cancellations unwanted pregnancies will increase therefore it is our moral obligation to pay for the abortion of these unwanted children. Naturally once this situation has resolved itself this funding will be withdrawn just as we have with other "temporary" assistance.

  2. I'm just as outraged to learn that Democrats have managed to make 20-30 million children dependent on breakfast, lunch and dinner via school lunch programs. They had to put billions in to feed them once the schools were closed.
