Since the beginning of the Sars-Covid2 pandemic it’s been wear your mask, social distance, don’t kill grandma and trust the science. My wife and I would have been some of the frontline workers who stood in the face of the pandemic to serve the public, we are bread vendors. March 11th 2020 was the beginning of the pandemic for us. Eleven days in a row we would walk into our supermarkets and mom and pop shops to no bread on the shelf. No wonder, the media was death by virus, death by virus and finally death by virus for months.

So weeks before the mask mandate happened, here we were the frontline workers, exposed to the deadly Sars-Covid2 virus. The panicked public and our fellow bread vendors all close together in one aisle, supposedly the ideal situation for an outbreak of the virus. Corporate America stepped up to combat the virus. Close early to clean and sanitize shelves and areas of the stores, follow up on the mask mandate by making their own mask mask mandates for employees and the public alike. The experts constantly changed the facts to fit constantly changing narrative.

Here is my take. We are a year and a month into this pandemic and the media, corporate America, the experts as well as the mask police are living a dream. If you live in the real world you will come to find out that all the posturing for the virus by these entities has been a complete and utter failure. The general public does not follow your draconian measures. The two week lockdown period to stave off overrun hospitals, never came to pass. One of my fellow bread vendors delivers to a few of the local hospitals, during that period, paramedics and those first responders were sitting around on their phones, not running all over the city to pick up the sick or dead. The hospital was cutting hours of the staff as well.

Corporate America, I hope you don’t think your staffs are following your mask and cleaning edicts, well they aren’t, we have a show folks. If you are in any of these stores before they open, like we are, from store management down to the stock boy, 95% of the employees are not wearing masks! One chain store even goes so far as to have a countdown to have the mask ready before the 6 am opening! We see no cleaning going on anywhere, we see business pre-pandemic!

To the mask police do you recognize what is going on around you? You have shopping options available to you, if you feel uncomfortable out in public. If you walk around making a list and checking it twice before handing over to management as to who has a mask and who doesn’t have a mask, guess what? Management doesn’t care, they still have Corporate America to answer to aka, sales and profits, not your little tattle tale list. They might appease your instant gratification by asking said offender to put on a mask or pull up their mask but as soon as you walk away, mask down or mask off! Happy now?

To the so called experts, you have been so wrong, all along. We have been shoulder to shoulder, nose to nose with other vendors and the public since the beginning of this pandemic. All of us should have been infected with Sars-Covid2 multiple times based on your principles of how this virus works. Guess what, I had the virus in December 2019 before it was a thing in the United States. Guess what nobody else I work with contracted the virus including my wife whom I spend 24/7 with. Go ahead and spout your knowledge and you list of accomplishments, the real world is continuing on, the Earth is spinning, the Sun rises, it sets. This set of issues like some of the ice ages will flesh itself out in time.

Everything is racist these days. Racism is a tool used by Democrats to push their agenda forward. Call something racist pass it on the their useful idiots who go out to the public hollering and screaming racism and call for change! Whip the public into a boycott frenzy if said company wants to be racist we will not shop or buy from you, agenda pushed forward!

First topic on my agenda is Georgia updating and strengthening it’s voter ID laws. They already had on the books showing your ID to vote in person. You now have to show ID for absentee ballots, the thing is, it doesn’t have to be a drivers license. It could be a social security card or a cable bill of all things. Wow that is pretty racist, isn’t it? Joe Biden called the new voter ID laws the return of Jim Crow on steroids. Some quick research and first Jim Crow was not a real person. Secondly, Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the southern United States. These laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Southern Democrat-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by black people during the reconstruction period. Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965. Hmmmm, enacted by white southern Democrats, what party is in charge now? Anyway, Delta Airlines and Cocoa-Cola are headquartered in 7 Georgia both CEO’s came out with statements saying how the new laws were a step back to Jim Crow era laws and racist. Wait, I thought the goal of every company was to make money and reach as many customers as possible.

Major League Baseball, welcome to the club. You didn’t think you would escape woke politics did you? The NFL was indoctrinated with all of the kneeling and National Anthem controversy. The NBA had their China issue. Joe Biden went on ESPN to hammer home the point the new Georgia voting laws were again the return of Jim Crow era. He suggested that MLB move it’s All Star game from Atlanta to a different site to protest these new laws. Well low and behold a couple days later MLB came out with a statement condemning the new laws and they would move the game in protest.

Here is my take. Democrats are trying with success to put politics in the board room. Their agenda to control everything with big government without actual policies of substance is coming to fruition everyday in front of our eyes. The bad thing is their woke subordinates are putting politics in front of profits. NFL ratings were down roughly 20% from 2019. You would think with the pandemic T.V. viewership would be through the roof. NBA ratings are down 30%, what could be going on? The Coke statement regarding the new Georgia voting laws happened on Monday, the stock market price has dropped $1.39 since Tuesday, funny! Delta Airlines got a response from the state of Georgia regarding the new voter ID laws, your $135 million a year tax credit on jet fuel is going to be revoked. As the saying goes, go woke, get broke. I think the conservative crowd and the crowd that are just sick and tired of being told what is racist and wrong with this country are taking their money elsewhere. My wife and I are both football fans and did not watch a single snap of football this year. ESPN got the cold shoulder. I don’t watch the “news” and haven’t in at least 25 years. I do my own research and form my own opinion! Those of us on the other side of the fence also have a voice but we tend to show our voice not jump up and down and scream in your face. Our money will be spent on those companies that join us on the first Tuesday in November every election year to get political, not to push a political agenda on a daily basis.

We just had three mass shootings in the last eleven days. One in Atlanta another in Boulder and a third in Virginia Beach. Cue the normal media reactions, white supremacy, gun control and racism. The media is hell bent on forcing the agenda and has been doing so for years. The Vice President even chimed in on calling white supremacy and racism even while the investigations were still ongoing.

First, let’s define mass shooting. A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence. The FBI’s definition calls a mass shooting one that involves 3 or more victims. Low and behold there were 614 mass shootings in 2020 according to the definition. So far in 2021 there have been 103 mass shootings as compared to 66 to the same date in 2020.

Americans own 40% of all guns in the world, that is a huge number! It is estimated that there are 393 million guns in the United States. The population of the United States stands about 331 million. In 2015 it was four guns for every person that bought a gun, that number has gone up to 5 guns for every person that bought a gun. According to the FBI, knives kill more people in the United States than guns do.

Here is my take. A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. How dare I bring up the second Amendment, people are being slaughtered in the streets. The guns need to go away for the safety of the public! Humans have been killing humans for thousands of years, you pick the weapon, it has been used to slaughter other humans. It usually just comes down to I have something that someone else wants that is willing to use violence to get it. Guns leveled the playing field, you did not have to be bigger or stronger to take out your enemy. Sure take away the guns, then it will be knives that be the scourge of public safety, what next? All governments want control, what is the saying, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Take away the guns, we become sitting ducks to the criminals and the government. A question, any idea why since the war of 1812 there have been no battles with foreign countries on our soil? We have guns and lots of them. One of the most telling and intelligent moves the Japanese made during WWII was not to invade mainland USA, because they didn’t know where the guns were located.

With all of the mass shootings in this country you would think it would be all over the news. The MSM jumped on three out of 103. Two of them don’t fit the narrative now that the facts have come out. The “white” guy in Boulder turned out to be middle eastern and a Trump hater. The three in Virginia Beach were all African American. That leaves us with the Atlanta guy who was a sex addict. The FBI said there was no racial motivation for the killings. Guess what, the media and the White House went right for the white supremacy angle even before the facts came out! Guns aren’t the problem, people are the problem. Look up what has happened to any country that gave up their guns. Russia, 1917. Germany 1932. Right now our government smells blood in the water and the only thing keeping them up late at night is the 393 million guns in this country.

Ok, I have and still have my WTF about Sars-Covid2. Yes it is real and yes I had it once and maybe twice. Like I have said from the beginning, we know who it affects and who needs to be protected. The response to the seventh coronavirus has been utterly disgusting. Yes there are six other coronaviruses, Spanish Flu, Swine Flu to just the regular flu. They all have similar characteristics hence coronaviruses.

The push is on to vaccine everyone so we can open up safely and get back to normal. Did you know that the Sars-Covid2 vaccine will not stop you from contracting Sars-Covid2 in the future. Sounds like the flu shot to me? Before every flu season the “expert’s” get together and make a guess at to what strain of the flu will rear it’s ugly head. The flu shot, flu cocktail is mixed up and distributed to the public as the flu shot. I have never had a flu shot. I had the flu when I was seven and never got it again until Sars-Covid2, 47 years later.

Dr. Peter Chin Hong from UCSF reported that of 1.8 million vaccines given only 4300 people reported adverse affects. Discomfort all the way to death. As a couple of days ago I saw that a little over 1100 people died from the vaccine. According to the doctor getting the vaccine far out weighs the side affects. So if you take the two numbers and get the percentage of folks with no adverse affects, it equals 99.976%. Sounds great, doesn’t it!! If you get the full blown corona virus aka Sars-Covid 2 you have a 99.82% chance of survival.

Here is my take. As I said in the beginning, I had coronavirus, 24 hours of flu symptoms and that stupid cough for two weeks, December 2019. The second time in February 2020 I had a less than stupid cough for two weeks. My immune system learned and adapted! From the time I became an adult I have primed my immune system to fight germs and viruses. It is not very hard, go outside, live life and enjoy. If I get sick I let my immune system do it’s job. You will encounter germs and viruses, they are a part of living on this planet. They adapt as a living organism, guess what, so do we. Protect those who are vulnerable, we know it’s the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions yet here we are over a year later doing the same stupid lockdown games as if everyone is in the same boat! Politics as usual! Let’s get back to living. Why do you think we are social animals?

H.R. 1 takes the election process and puts the Federal Government in charge. What could go wrong. The government couldn’t legislate it’s way out of a wet paper bag! Take all of the issues with the 2020 election roll them up in a ball, throw them into a bill and what do you get. H.R. 1 for the people!

Where the hell do you start. The bill limits how any plaintiffs can challenge the constitutionality of H.R. 1. That smells a bit fishy, how is that for the people? Mandates automatic voter registration. Eighteen states currently have AVR, whether you go to the DMV, a social service or go to college. This happens automatically, you have to opt out to not be registered to vote. This will come into play as I dive further. How do you feel about no fault absentee ballots? No signatures or notaries involved and absentee ballots accepted 10 days after election day. Prevents election officials from cleaning up voter rolls or verifying if a person is eligible to vote. They are also prevented from verifying addresses no matter how much time has lapsed. H.R. 1 bans all state ID voter laws. It allows illegal immigrants to vote and immune from prosecution if they take the automatic register to vote option. Gives 16 year old’s the right to vote!! Felons could now vote unless they are still serving time on election day. This bill would legalize mail in voting without an ID. Ever heard of ballot harvesting? This bill would allow any one person to bring in as many ballots they can under any means without any questions asked. There is so much more crap in this bill, I just highlighted some of the main horrific ideas.

Here is my take. This bill is rotten to the core! It is an absolute power grab, not for just the next election but forever! We have seen during the 2020 election how Democrats used Sars-Covid 2 to cover for their election fraud. That plan worked out so well why not make it into law. There would be no rules for any illegal activity whatsoever, Democrat winners all day everyday. Under these rules why bother to campaign, bring on the popularity contests of high school. Ask Hilary or Joe about not campaigning in certain areas of the country, oh and add in the use of campaign funds for personal use. Laws would be bought for by those who have the money. Citizens who like to make their vote count essentially wouldn’t count. Let me nab as many absentee ballots as possible, vote for my guy or gal and dump them off at a ballot box, wherever, whenever! Election integrity would be gone, it is already in question after 2020. This bill throws it on the trash heap, with the Constitution in tow not far behind. No wonder there is a fence around the Capitol building and Congress wants permanent National Guard presence in Washington D.C.

I have been finding it hard lately to write. I started to write to fend off the unjust, unfounded lies perpetrated against President Trump. Since Joe was inaugurated I have been dumbfounded by the path this administration has taken.

Operation Talon, never heard of it until two days ago. It came about to combat child sex trafficking in the United States. What did I say, in the United States? Yes, it happens, sadly! Your Commander in Chief just put an end to Operation Talon. You would think the just cause of this would transcend administrations, apparently not in this case. Rumors abound of the sexploitations of the “elite” in this country.

The Democrats jump up and down about women’s rights and equal protection. My body my choice. The MeToo movement. Joe Biden signed an executive order that allows transgendered folks to participate in women’s sports. This would effectively end women’s sports. I don’t care that anyone is transgender, you do what makes you happy. Women work as hard as men do to excel in the sport of their choosing. This executive order could affect college scholarships. Over the last few years some States have embraced transgendered athletes which is OK, knock your socks off. Look at the video of the events, Billy who is not Billy anymore crushes the girls in the track and field competition. Transgendered MMA fighters giving other women fighters skull fractures. With the stroke of a pen, women’s sports is effectively dead!

Since the start of the Sars-Covid 2 lockdowns and the junk that followed tax revenue for all levels of government has fallen off. In the beginning you would hear of some cities and states readjusting their budgets to reflect the drop off in taxes, not the federal government. Moving a bit forward, Joe Biden during the debates said we need to transition away from fossil fuels. An executive order stopping work on the Keystone Pipeline on day one not only put 10,000 people out of work but also took away much needed tax revenue away from the government. So much for the transition. Regardless of what your agenda is, you are not helping anyone at any level by killing jobs and tax revenue at this point.

Here is my take. None of this makes any sense for a person with any logical thinking. This is an absolute and total lack of compassion for other humans. What would possess you or anyone to disregard the well being of the citizens of your country for your political agenda. Oh wait this is the government and right now the Democrats! They are attempting to shove their “climate crisis, equality for everyone and silence any dissent” down our throat! If you can’t see it God bless you. S**t is hitting the fan quickly. The Constitution is being pushed aside for socialism. We are already seeing the groups that Democrats have championed over the years being thrown aside because they won it all in November. Now that they won you are useless to them. In the Constitution once a year in January or February, the Speaker of the House requests the President to give the State of the Union Address. Today is the 28th of February, No state of the union address to lay out the agenda of the administration, what does that tell you?

Joe Biden during his first flurry of executive orders announced that all federal vehicles will be going electric. Before I digress too far let me just mention that our esteemed Speaker of the Horses**t Pelosi’s husband actually bought stock in Tesla the week before Biden announced this new order. Can you say insider trading!! Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading.

Anyway the government is going electric. I don’t know the specifics and I don’t care, what I do know from some research will follow. Do you know what goes into making a battery for an electric car? Did you know you have to mine for them? You know actually dig a hole in the ground like you would for oil or coal? Tesla is worried that there soon will be some upcoming global shortages of minerals used to make batteries for electric cars, like nickel, copper, and lithium.

What do you need to mine for nickel, copper and lithium, heavy duty equipment, you know the kind that run on diesel fuel, oh the horror! We yet have the technology to mine for rare earth minerals with electric heavy duty equipment. So your electric car that will save the environment is built with the help of fossil fuels! Oh hell no, write your Congressman or woman, this is unacceptable! At the end there will be a huge hole in the ground that will kill the environment in the area. Wait before you go on a hunger strike why don’t you ask the folks of Alaska about the pipeline that runs from the North Slope to Valdez about the environmental impact. I will give you a hint, there is none!!

Here is my take. As of 2011 there were 254,059 vehicles owned or leased by the federal government. Now the obvious reaction would be there would be more vehicles now, ten years later. These vehicles cost tax money! Let’s say half of these vehicles are owned by the government. Let’s say they go with the electric Prius, that cost would be, 3 billion, 115 million, 386 thousand, 225 hundred dollars. How is that for your tax dollars at work! Expect tax hikes for your environmentally friendly vehicles. Before I go, don’t forget the upcoming shortage of elements for your battery operated vehicle, which will undoubtedly drive up the cost of your electric vehicle. How will you afford your electric vehicle if it costs a gas guzzling $40,000 or more, the government will, at your expense.

Rush Limbaugh died a couple of days ago from lung cancer. Conservative icon and long time radio host. A local radio host said today he single handedly save radio. Same host said Rush actually started out as a disk jockey. I never knew that information.

You would think people would be respectful, not so much. Twitter is just a hate filled cesspool of angry, self serving, self loathing, self important beings. Hashtag rest in piss was trending. How disgusting! Death comes for all of us, there is no escape. So tell me all you self important beings, when Death comes for you, how do you want to be remembered? Should we take screen shots of all your hate spewed posts and send them to your loved ones? Are you not a Son, Daughter, Husband, Wife to someone? Rush Limbaugh was! Ruth Bader Ginsberg was yet some of the people that supposedly loved her still found time to bash her death. “You should have retired under Obama!” ” You died a month early, you couldn’t have waited!” I saw these, they are real.

Does anyone remember Howard Stern? Do you know the Sirius XM guy or do you remember the FM guy? If you remember the FM guy your sense of what is taboo or controversial would send you under your Mom’s bed for security. Do yourself a favor and look it up, hence he is the original shock jock! The one thing that should stick out for anyone about Howard Stern is when his ratings would come in, the people that hated him would listen more than the people that actually liked him. Reason being, they wanted to hear what he would say next! Look it up, he has a movie, it is in there!!

Here is my take. I mourn the loss of anyone. It is a reminder of my time on this Earth is inching ever so slowly to the end. I am in my 50’s so Death could come calling at any point. That is OK, I have accepted it, I understand it. It makes me a better person, it makes me more understanding. It makes me take in that sunrise, accept the 8 inches of snow when only 3 inches were called. In closing to those that dumped on Rush Limbaugh at his death, I laugh at you! If you called him names, you listened. If you hashtag rest in piss you listened. Your emboldened hatred of a man you never knew only made him rich! He made millions off of your hate!! You made his spirit rich by your hate which enabled him to speak more freely. Congratulations that man will for ever will be remembered because of your hate!! Rest in Peace Rush Limbaugh.

We have the stolen election and shortly thereafter Republicans started bailing on President Trump. After the electoral college certification debacle, Republicans stabbed President Trump in the back. Impeachment number two, unconstitutional and all, some Republicans are all in. Ronna McDaniel, chairperson of the Republican National Committee. Not even a month after President Trump asked her to head the committee again for the next four years, said she does not support him running in 2024. We can now add a potential Presidential candidate to the mix, Nikki Haley. She basically said President Trump was at fault for the Capital riot and Republicans need to distance themselves from President Trump.

What are these people looking at? Do they need glasses? Are we speaking different languages? In 2008 Democrats and the media called McCain a racist, did he fight back, no he just let them roll right over him. He took the high road and became a punching bag. In 2012 Mitt Romney proved what a spineless weasel he is, que the Democrat strategy, personal attacks! They attacked his Mormon faith, what did he do, focus on the issues. Honorable but you might have gotten a little dirty to support what you believe.

In general conservatives have been brow beaten by Democrats for a long time for our lack of vision, narrowminded views, lack of empathy and even love of the United States. Hell former Commander in Chief Obama in 2012 told those of us that did not vote for him to “sit down shut up and get to the back of the bus, I won!”

In walked President Trump in 2015, brash, arrogant and rich and running on the Republican ticket. Having already walked in the circles of the rich and famous President Trump stepped on some toes running against them. His campaign was called a joke, he was called an idiot. One of the things that struck me was during the debates Ben Carson was supposed to be called to the stage and wasn’t, President Trump got called. President Trump stood by Ben Carson and waited until they figured out what happened. Does that sound like and idiot, brash and arrogant man? He was the first to call out fake news! The news has always been left leaning but it doesn’t lean anymore, it’s standing firmly on the left. President Trump started playing the same game Democrats have for more than 20 years character assassination. Guess what he was playing it better than they could have done.

Here is my take. President Trump made it ok to be an American. He made it ok to stand up for what you believe. He believed in us! He battled for us! He worked tirelessly everyday for all Americans. He showed Congress what it was like to work hard and put in the effort everyday! President Trump took the Republican party under his wing and molded it after America, gave it a backbone!! What we have seen since the election is a total lack of backbone from the Republican party. Those that remain have no spine and will find it hard to bring 75 million together without President Trump at the helm!

Since Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20th the comings and goings of anything in Washington D.C. are out of wack. Joe was locked out of the White House because they fired the butler hours before. The Democrats promised to transform America if they won all three branches of government, as we know, they did and the transformation seems to be slow so far.

Our government is trying to impeach President Trump again, however he is not sitting behind the desk at the White House. He is a private citizen. Impeachment according to the Constitution happens if the actual President commits a crime. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate. In this case Justice Roberts is not participating, which makes this impeachment Unconstitutional. It is still going forward and both sides are participating, why?

All of the monuments in Washington D.C. are usually lit up 24/7, the White House included. Since the inauguration it has been lights out? The Capital Building, the peoples house, not so much anymore. A fence was erected right after January 6th, now it is getting a permanent fence. The Capital a few days ago at 2AM, twenty or more vehicles lined up with people being checked in along with what looked like paddy wagons, strange.

Nothing but executive orders coming from the Presidential desk. Upwards of 40 in the first week. President Trump had one his first day, Biden had 17 his first day. He even asked at one point what am I signing? There has been speculation of him signing blank pieces of paper. His first executive orders killed 70,000 jobs and the response was you can get other jobs. That didn’t sound very Presidential and not even close to uniting this country. Hell even BLM tweeted out they felt used!!

Here is my take. Something stinks all the way to Denmark. I can’t put my finger on it. The new administration just seems hell bent on pissing everyone off including those that voted for him. Now I don’t go out of my way to listen to MSM at all. I haven’t heard any big speeches from Mr. Biden in regards to anything going on, just executive orders. Transition between President’s don’t usually go this way. I am perplexed and left seeking answers!
