Just a quick post to thank those of you who have reached out in the comments or via email to let me know you’re praying for me. The symptoms have transitioned from being like a mild head cold to chills, aches, congestion and a surprising lack of energy. More flu-like, if you will.
I’m taking at least a couple of more days to fully recover, but am grateful it hasn’t been worse, and hoping that it stays that way.
Daily Verse | Luke 6:46
“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Thursday’s Reading: Luke 8-11
Happy Thursday, my friends. I don’t want to be there when pizza and pepperoni break up.
Well, the Kung Flu Sicken finally caught up with me. I tested positive for it yesterday. I’m in the early stages and have mild cold-like symptoms. I suppose the next few days will tell me just how bad a case I’ve caught. If you don’t hear anything from me on Friday, assume I’m laying prone somewhere as the Peking Lung Pox cycles through my body.
After nearly two years of virus-free living, having the Frankenvirus setting up shop in my lungs makes the situation super personal. It also thickens my already dark attitude about Dr. Faucistein and his communist collaborators in the Wuhan virus lab. That guy is an accessory to a crime and doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to the right protocols.
One of Trump’s biggest failures was letting Fauci stay instead of getting a real doctor in there.
Let’s go, Fau-chi!
And as much as I admired what Trump accomplished, I’ve always had misgivings about a vaccine that was rushed to production, breaking every protocol we’ve learned over the decades about how to safely roll one out. People who got any one of the vaccines are in the test group, and I’ve heard too many stories about people I know or are within one or two degrees of separation from me who have experienced devastating, life-altering results from the vaccine.
Of course, there are many who have taken the vaccine and have done fine.
The vax is just not for me, and I don’t regret not getting it. In fact, the more the government minders push us to get the vax, the more reluctant I am to get it. Listen, Fat, what’s with the pressure tactics?
Have you noticed that people who have been vaxxed are getting the WuFlu again? Did you know that natural immunity is stronger than the vaccine? Did you also know that the vaccine is good for, oh, about six months?
Statistician William M. Briggs has been tracking Covid and in one of his latest posts, he writes (emphasis his):
We mentioned these two items weeks ago, but it bears repeating.
One, the only two outcomes—and it’s really just one—worth studying are illness severity and death. All other derived measures are always a clue you are being fooled.
“Cases” are NOT an illness severity measure. Ignore ALL studies which invoke “cases”, whether they are on “our side” or theirs. “Cases” are NOT cases, but a combination of testing level (still at ridiculous levels), testing sensitivity (still too high), and multiple disease characteristics.
Look at hospitalizations for (and not after-admission-for-something-else-first either) the doom, or look at deaths of the doom. Nothing else.
Two, we cannot examine any study of efficacy without having removed from the data those people with prior infection who recovered.
How often is this done? Something close to never.
Why? Because many officials are still married to the noble lie that all should get vaccinated, even those who had the disease. And now we have the immoral, and deadly, vaccine mandates, designed to punish.
Obviously—to any scientist living before 2020—if a person has recovered and is vaxxed, you won’t know if his own body or the vax has kept him from dying. Vaccines should not even be administered before an anti-body test has been given, because of the very real possibility of harmful side effects.
I don’t care what you believe about the Wuhan Bat Flu and the vaccines—no one can deny that Big Pharma is getting filthy rich off of us. Any time you see a government pushing for something involving money, you know it’s about a transfer of wealth (usually from the middle class) to someone else or to some institution favored by the politicians, under the guise of “it’s good for you!”
You couldn’t convince me in 100 years that Joey Snow Cone cares about the American people. Neither do any of his henchmenpersons.
In the meantime, I’d appreciate your prayers for my family and me.
I’ll keep you posted.
Daily Verse | Mark 13:37
“What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!'”
Monday’s Reading: Mark 14-16
Happy Monday! My parachuting school practices with 55-gallon black garbage bags while telling us to “roll like bananas.”
We live in a culture that is increasingly hostile and shows collective pathological gratification in the devaluing and destruction of others based on dubious moral claims and outright lies. We see it expressed in the violence of the BLM and Antifa movements, the cancel culture — and also in the hostility in the stands between fans of opposing teams.
NFL: Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens
NHL: Nashville Predators and Seattle Kraken
NFL: Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams
MLB: San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t recall seeing fights this regularly between fans. There’s always been taunting, yelling and the occasional hat-flicking, but these are hard-core bare-knuckle brawls. And many of them include women, as in this altercation between Carolina Panther and Minnesota Viking fans:
I’m no sociologist, but I think these outbursts, along with the near-anarchy of Burn Loot Murder, Inc. and Antifa, are evidence of the coarsening of our culture: the loss of self-control, the application of force to trivial matters, the lack of compassion and the devaluing of human life. It is quite barbaric in some cases.
I’ve heard some commentators say that a lot of this is the result of pent up frustration over being locked down and being otherwise restricted during the Chinese Panic Plague of 2020. On the other hand, maybe people are just showing their true selves. Or maybe both.
Whatever it is, our culture is displaying a sickness — and not just the Peking Pox variety. We’re showing a soul sickness.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Of course, the Bible doesn’t leave us without hope. It also goes on to describe what a life led by the Spirit of God looks like.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
What this implies is that our culture is not, generally speaking, led by the Spirit, i.e., we are a post-Christian society. I know most of us are aware of that, but I think it’s worth reiterating that whereas we still have with us the accoutrements of days gone by (e.g. the bas relief portrait of Moses in the House chamber that has hung there since 1950), they are mostly meaningless symbols to contemporary society except as irrelevant artifacts of an era long gone.
I used to say we were coasting on the fumes of our Christian heritage, but I don’t think even the fumes are with us any more — we’ve rolled about as far was we can go with the kinetic energy of our spiritual ancestors.
For believers, this presents a more difficult — but more illuminating — environment in which to demonstrate Christian character. Those who demonstrate love and joy and peace and the like will stand out like stars against a night sky.
The era in which we live is not ideal, but embrace it without ignoring the dysfunction, and watch for where God is at work around you. Who knows but that you were born for such a time as this?
Daily Verse | Haggai 1:5
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.”
It’s Thursday and the last day of September 2021. What does it mean when you dream of waterskiing across a desert of wood?
Does it or does it not feel like the wheels have come off not only here in the U.S., but increasingly, around the world? It’s like the whole world has gone mad all at once, while we deplorables (aka. normal citizens) look around in disbelief while searching for remote hideouts we can run to when the jackbooted thugs are given permission to ignore our laws and our rights.
Speaking of jackbooted thugs, have you seen what’s going on in Australia, the former British penal colony? The continent is now one big police state. Here’s a video of three police officers questioning a homeowner about his knowledge of any protests he’s been to or any he knows are being planned.
For “safety” you know.
Let’s get to the good stuff. Here are some officers arresting two elderly people, while one of the officers snatches one of the women’s phones while she’s videoing their conversation about being placed under arrest.
Here’s a number of videos from Melbourne.
Remember, this is all about a “virus” that has a better than 99.9% survival rate.
Or is it?
More from Melbourne:
Other examples of the Australian police taking care of their citizens’ health.
What are the police enforcing? Oh, right … the loss of your freedom. The unvaccinated in Australia’s NSW will lose their freedoms on October 11.
Unvaccinated NSW [New South Wales] residents have been delivered a major blow, with officials confirming those in regional areas who haven’t received the vaccine will have some of their new-found freedoms reversed within weeks.
Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the 70 per cent roadmap, which is due to kick in on October 11, will apply to the whole state.
This means unvaccinated people living in areas that aren’t currently in lockdown will no longer be able to enjoy the same freedoms they have in recent weeks.
“So there will be individuals in regional and rural NSW who choose not to be vaccinated who will lose their freedoms on October 11,” Mr Barilaro.
“So my message to everybody in regional and rural NSW is to continue to get vaccinated. We are seeing vaccination rates climb right across the state including in the regions.”
Then there’s this: Australia’s Chief Health Officer tells Aussies they’re never going back to normal. I wonder if Australians regret giving up their guns and gun rights back in 1996 under the national firearms agreement (NFA)?
Semi-automatic rifles and shotguns were prohibited, with a few exceptions, all firearms were required to be registered, a proof of reason would be required for all gun-licence applicants and gun purchases, with self-defence not considered a reason [or protecting yourself from government overreach. dLo]. Licenses would be reviewed, and ammunition sales were to be restricted to those licensed for the specific firearm. A national integrated registry was to be formed.
Notably, the reforms included a buyback of semi-automatic weapons and guns from owners no longer qualified to possess them. About 650,000 guns were destroyed, as part of the reforms that cost $500m.
My emphasis. That agreement came in the wake of a massacre of 35 people, the worst in Australia’s history. Gun deaths dropped in the years that followed, “from 516 in 1996 to 229 in 2019″— a reduction of 287 deaths in 13 years.
Not to minimize any life lost whatsoever, but they took your guns over 516 gun deaths? Out of a population of 25.3 million? At what cost?
Looks like personal freedoms to me. Australia is run by a parliamentary government, similar to the UK. They claim to have a system of checks and balances. So does the United States.
Keep that in mind, my friends. And buy ammo. Lots of ammo. Really. I mean it.
This is not a direct endorsement because everyone’s experience is different, but I’ve purchased from AmmoMan and had good results. I’ve also purchased from local shops near me and had good results.
Whatever you choose, do your homework and buy ammo.

Daily Verse | Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Happy Wednesday, my friends. Don’t ever mistake the anti-fungal spray for the eyeglasses cleaner.
I came across a letter, by someone calling himself “Spartacus,” in which he details the nature of the Peking Lung Pox. While being an anonymous writer, it’s clear that the author has very strong knowledge of viruses and how they work.
I’m linking you to it and will share a couple of the more interesting claims the author makes. Keep in mind that I cannot verify the author’s credibility; I can only say that he obviously has more working knowledge of viruses than the average man on the street — and what he writes all sounds plausible.
To start, here is the author’s own summary of he lengthy letter, with my emphases in bold.
I have a slight hesitation in sharing this, especially since the author moves from medical knowledge to a political statement in his last bullet. However, just because he understands the pandemic doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand what is going on politically. Heck, I can see what’s going on and I’m an amateur polemicist.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, here are a few excerpts from his missive (again, with my emphasis):
COVID-19 is not a viral pneumonia. It is a viral vascular endotheliitis and attacks the lining of blood vessels, particularly the small pulmonary alveolar capillaries, leading to endothelial cell activation and sloughing, coagulopathy, sepsis, pulmonary edema, and ARDS-like symptoms. This is a disease of the blood and blood vessels. The circulatory system. Any pneumonia that it causes is secondary to that.
Most of us think that COVID-19 is like a really bad cold, but the science says otherwise. It’s a blood disease, like Leukemia.
When you intubate someone with this condition, you are setting off a free radical bomb by supplying the cells with O2. It’s a catch-22, because we need oxygen to make Adenosine Triphosphate (that is, to live), but O2 is also the precursor of all these damaging radicals that lead to lipid peroxidation.
This is why we hear so much about all of the unintended (but are they?) side-effects of the vaccine, such as miscarriages, strokes, blood clots and paralysis.
Here’s what he said about Ivermectin:
India went against the instructions of the WHO and mandated the prophylactic usage of Ivermectin. They have almost completely eradicated COVID-19. The Indian Bar Association of Mumbai has brought criminal charges against WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan for recommending against the use of Ivermectin.
Ivermectin is not “horse dewormer”. Yes, it is sold in veterinary paste form as a dewormer for animals. It has also been available in pill form for humans for decades, as an antiparasitic drug.
The media have disingenuously claimed that because Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug, it has no utility as an antivirus. This is incorrect. Ivermectin has utility as an antiviral. It blocks importin, preventing nuclear import, effectively inhibiting viral access to cell nuclei. Many drugs currently on the market have multiple modes of action. Ivermectin is one such drug. It is both antiparasitic and antiviral.
In Bangladesh, Ivermectin costs $1.80 for an entire 5-day course. Remdesivir, which is toxic to the liver, costs $3,120 for a 5-day course of the drug. Billions of dollars of utterly useless Remdesivir were sold to our governments on the taxpayer’s dime, and it ended up being totally useless for treating hyperinflammatory COVID-19. The media has hardly even covered this at all.
The opposition to the use of generic Ivermectin is not based in science. It is purely financially and politically-motivated. An effective non-vaccine intervention would jeopardize the rushed FDA approval of patented vaccines and medicines for which the pharmaceutical industry stands to rake in billions upon billions of dollars in sales on an ongoing basis.
About “social distancing” and other myths:
COVID-19 is airborne. The WHO carried water for China by claiming that the virus was only droplet- borne. Our own CDC absurdly claimed that it was mostly transmitted by fomite-to-face contact, which, given its rapid spread from Wuhan to the rest of the world, would have been physically impossible.
The ridiculous belief in fomite-to-face being a primary mode of transmission led to the use of surface disinfection protocols that wasted time, energy, productivity, and disinfectant.
The 6-foot guidelines are absolutely useless. The minimum safe distance to protect oneself from an aerosolized virus is to be 15+ feet away from an infected person, no closer. Realistically, no public transit is safe.
Surgical masks do not protect you from aerosols. The virus is too small and the filter media has too large of gaps to filter it out. They may catch respiratory droplets and keep the virus from being expelled by someone who is sick, but they do not filter a cloud of infectious aerosols if someone were to walk into said cloud.
About the vaccines:
The vaccines for COVID-19 are not sterilizing and do not prevent infection or transmission. They are “leaky” vaccines. This means they remove the evolutionary pressure on the virus to become less lethal. It also means that the vaccinated are perfect carriers. In other words, those who are vaccinated are a threat to the unvaccinated, not the other way around.
And about Fauci, all we need to know:
The vaccine and the virus were made by the same people.
I encourage you to read the whole thing, which has “the ring of truth” about it. I can’t vouch for whether everything he wrote is accurate, but as I say, it sounds logical, intelligent and free of the virtue-signaling we’re used to.
Daily Verse | Joel 2:12
“Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
Happy Monday my friends. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. But here we are on Monday — again.
Yesterday I went to a restaurant that we’ve frequented over the last 18 months and by “frequented” I mean that we’ve gone there more often than any other eating establishment, which may or may not mean “occasionally.” The last few times we’ve been there no mask has been required. This time we walked in expecting the same, but the (masked) Karen server behind the counter immediately asked us if we had masks.
“No,” I said. “Do you have any?,” knowing that some establishments would provide them for their guests.
“No,” she replied, “we don’t stock them. And there’s a sign on the door when you come in.”
I confess to seeing the “sign,” which was written in small type as part of a paragraph of small type on an 8½ x 11 sheet of paper taped to the glass door, which I didn’t fully read because we were all going in and it was an interruption and it was hot out and we were hungry and I assumed they only partly meant the word “must” and they didn’t require them before and, besides, who’s enforcing mask mandates anyway?
To be fair, the masked woman behind the counter was probably only enforcing the company policy, so I can’t really fault her, but she wasn’t particularly nice about it. My immediate reaction to her telling us that masks were required and, without saying so, implying that we would not receive service without one, was to turn around and walk out and find a place that would serve us without masks.
But my wife had a mask for me and for her and she put hers on and started her order, while our two guests retrieved theirs, so we stayed. But I was not happy about it.
As I walked to my table I grumbled about how the Beijing Bat Flu was certainly deadly as we stood and ordered but that it very obviously weakened on the way to the table and by the time I sat down it was safe to de-mask because reasons. And how stupid this whole thing is.
I got to thinking about it and, for the first time, I truly understand the observation that being required to wear a mask creates a two-tiered society, with non-maskers being “second-class citizens.” I’ve read that before in the commentariat in a variety of opinion pieces, but it really hadn’t penetrated like it did yesterday.
Many of the authors say that masks are just a first step in dehumanizing the citizenry. Think about it. What is the difference between someone without a mask not getting service and someone with a yellow star not getting service? One concerns medical purity, the other racial purity. In both cases people are classified negatively.
While it’s true that one is contagious and the other isn’t, they both result in the same thing: ostracization from society.
In both situations, the ruling authorities mandate the conditions: not complying with masking denies you service today, wearing a star denied you service then. While we are all ostensibly free to choose whether or not to wear the mask and the Jews were not free to reject wearing the star, the result is the same: complying with the star or not complying with the mask results in a denial of service.
Not wearing a mask and wearing a star both telegraph a negative association to the rest of society. And while non-maskers and those refusing to get the vaccine are not being shipped off to concentration camps (yet), they are subjected to tyrannical language and treatment from those who decree the conditions and their supporters in government and business.
The Resident pointedly blamed one-third of Americans for the rise in the Delta variant.
“We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” he said, all but biting off his words. The unvaccinated minority “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”
[…]
After months of using promotions to drive the vaccination rate, Biden is taking a much firmer hand, as he blames people who have not yet received shots for the sharp rise in cases killing more than 1,000 people per day and imperiling a fragile economic rebound.
Shock jock and noted medical expert Howard Stern used similarly strong language about the unvaccinated.
Radio host Howard Stern said people who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are “idiots” and called for vaccinations to be mandatory.
“When are we gonna stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say it’s mandatory to get vaccinated? F— ’em. F— their freedom. I want my freedom to live,” Stern said on his SiriusXM program on Tuesday. “I want to get out of the house already. I want to go next door and play chess. I want to go take some pictures. This is bull—-.”
In another rant, he said,
“We have no time for idiots in this country anymore. We don’t want you,” Stern said. “We want you to all either go to the hospital, stay home, die there with your COVID, don’t take the cure but don’t clog up our hospitals with your COVID when you finally get it.
“Stay home, don’t bother with science, it’s too late. … We want you to go away,” he continued. “We want you to leave the country. Go somewhere where they have ultimate freedom, wherever that is, some bizarro world where you don’t have to take the vaccine. … I don’t know when nonsense became such a thing.”
Here’s Jimmy Kimmel, the very unfunny late night host.
“Dr. Fauci said that if hospitals get any more overcrowded, they’re going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed. That choice doesn’t seem so tough to me.
Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right in, we’ll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.”
Add one more for good measure. Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign manager, David Plouffe, called MAGA supporters a “sick, perverted one-third of the country.”
He added, “I think these governors, legislative leaders who have stood in the way of vaccinations, who belittled COVID, who don’t want masks in school — here’s the thing, we’re basically two-thirds of the country in support of mask mandates in schools. So again, they’re speaking to their sick, perverted one-third of the country, you know that gets injected by Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart, all the stuff.”
Jews forced to wear the yellow Star of David in 1941 Nazis Germany were subject to segregation and discrimination. We can’t deny that something similar is happening. Our freedom is being restricted if we are being demonized as “idiots” and “sick and perverted,” told we’re not wanted, that our freedom is meaningless, that we should essentially f*** off and die, and we’re not allowed to conduct transactions and travel in public unless we wear a mask.
Feel the love?
Right now we have the opportunity to push back and refuse to comply with the tyrannical edicts from our rulers. But how long will that opportunity last?
Daily Verse | Jeremiah 17:9-10
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve.”
Friday and the end of another week — and what a week it has been.
When the 12-story Champlain Towers South condominium building collapsed in Florida back in June, initial reports found that, while the cause of the collapse isn’t known, “the structural slab was deteriorating because it was flat instead of sloped. That meant the water didn’t drain off the concrete’s waterproofing quickly” and that “failure to complete the ‘extremely expensive’ repairs … would ’cause the extent of the concrete deterioration to expand exponentially.'”
It feels like the United States has finally slid off its “structural slab” after decades of neglect and abuse, and is collapsing in a heap on the world stage. Perhaps the anti-American wokesters and progressive Marxists who pollute our country are learning that facts don’t care about your feelings.
It’s a pleasant LARP, with self-reinforcing loops of hashtags, New York Times puff pieces and Psaki ‘circling back’, until one day the Taliban roll in and everyone is running for the helicopters. It’s like US elites finally had the VR headset knocked from their faces and actually had a look around. And what they saw was a roomful of men with faces out of an illustrated bible looking like they’d just pillaged a Cabela’s—that’s how much top-shelf, modded-out AR hardware they captured—sitting down for a super-awkward Zoom meeting announcing a sudden change of plans for American foreign policy.
While there is plenty of blame to lay at the feet of George W. Bush, Barack Hussein Obama, and Donald J. Trump for the situation in Afghanistan, the one who matters is Joseph Robinette Biden. The most far-left executive ever to hold office (and that includes Obama), Biden has proven to be a one-man wrecking crew. It’s not that he’s doing it all himself; he has plenty of help from the junta installed after the hijinked election in 2020.
But he’s the acting head of our government.
More like acting the village idiot:
10,000-15,000 (!) American citizens are trapped in Taliban-held Afghanistan.
The U.S. government cannot go out and give them safe passage to the airport.
The U.S. government cannot guarantee the safety of American citizens in Afghanistan.
The Biden administration is making Americans pay $2,000 for a flight out of Afghanistan. (Hunter needs new shoes, baby!)
Afghan parents so desperate they’re passing their babies and kids over the crowd at the airport!
US soldiers stuck at Kabul airport while UK and French soldiers are getting their citizens out.
The Taliban are using our abandoned equipment. Say, where do you suppose the surplus will end up?
State Department won’t say why it killed Pompeo’s crisis evacuation unit. (One hint: #OrangeManBad!)
Joe Biden calls it a day for the weekend while Afghanistan burns. (He’s tired, doncha’ know.)
Can one man literally be this incompetent? Or is there something more sinister at work here? I mentioned in yesterday’s post that Biden has been compromised by China, so one can legitimately wonder if there’s more than just poor management at work here.
Lara Logan thinks that the United States “chose this outcome” and it’s tough to deny her logic.
“Whoever is in power right now, whoever is really pulling the strings — and I don’t know [who is pulling the strings] — they could do anything they want to change this. And they’re not.” — Lara Logan
Are Biden and his cabal so utterly ruthless that they would proactively destroy all the work we did in Afghanistan just so that the U.S. would be humiliated before a watching world? So that our reputation as a so-called superpower would take such a massive hit as to be mocked by China and censured by the UK? To degrade the intimidation factor that Trump had recently brought back? To wreck a country with no regard for how many people die?
Honest answer? Yes, I believe they would. They are in a “no holds barred” situation because 2022 is coming and they know they have the potential to be slaughtered (figuratively speaking!) in that election. That is, unless they depend on late-arriving ballots to swing the elections to themselves.
It’s no secret that the far-left has taken over the Democrat party, and they HATE America. They hate our founding, they hate our constitution, they hate our rights, they hate whites’ skin color, they hate men, they hate normal marriage, they hate normal sex, they hate normal gender, they hate God, they hate Christianity, they hate Christians, they hate churches, they hate law and order, they hate our traditions, they hate our history and they hate our norms. These people are filled with a seething rage and indignation over the Western tradition and wisdom that gave us the most powerful and wealthy nation in all of human history.
It doesn’t take much imagination to see a logical connection between the unmitigated disaster that is Afghanistan, the Left’s control of our government, and the beating that our country’s standing in the world is taking right now. What other country in its right mind would trust the United States to be a strong and stable partner with financial and military might when they need it?
More to the point, what confidence do regular Americans have in our government and the vast military that it wields? I speak for myself when I say that when I see the fustercluck in Afghanistan and contrast that with “pregnancy flight suits” and pride flags and transgenders in the armed forces, I no longer feel confident in my country’s ability to protect me from our enemies or, for that matter, to protect me from my own government’s overreach.
Maybe they should start focusing on winning wars instead of helping men walk in stilettoes.
In fact, I’m starting to suspect that the military is being prepared to lock down and harass and possibly arrest all those “potential terrorists” who oppose Covid lockdowns, question the 2020 election or support Trump.
I’ve never felt so unsettled about our country as I have this week.
Have a good weekend.
Daily Verse | Isaiah 22:5
The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day of tumult and trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision, a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains.
Friday and the end of July even though it feels like we just started the month last week. Let’s meet on the deck at 9:00 tonight. Shoes optional.
As we are carried further downstream by the commie tsunami in our country, Americans like you and me will have to decide when civil disobedience is required against the irrational and ever-changing mask mandates, vaccination pressure campaigns and the specter of vaccine passports. Resident Asterisk* insulted those of us who don’t trust anything he or his team say about the Chinese Lung Pox.
“If you’re not vaccinated, you’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were.” The Resident thinks shaming people is a great way to get them to do something, so that oughta work.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky indicated this week that “vaccine passports” might be a “path forward” in the U.S.
When probed about next steps, Berman wondered if the CDC would ever “lean into” vaccine passes. Some countries in Europe now require “health passes,” or vaccination certificates, to gain access to things like bars and restaurants. The decision has prompted protests and backlash, with thousands taking to the streets in France earlier in July to voice opposition to the move.
“You know, I think some communities are doing that and that may very well be a path forward,” Walensky declared. “I do want to sort of comment that in some fully vaccinated venues, if they’re unmasked and there are a few people who are transmitting there … Overall it’s so very critical to just get the huge amount of disease in some of these areas down.”
Do you see the level of power and control that’s being suggested? Why doesn’t she just stitch a little yellow virus icon on our clothing?
To top it all off, her comments come as we’re finding out that this fraudulent administration is dumping illegals all over the country and that many of them are being allowed into the interior with Covid-19.
The individual reported that there was a large illegal family inside the restaurant, visibly displaying signs of sickness such as coughing and sneezing without making any efforts to cover themselves, in violation of basic health guidelines. The manager confirmed to the officer that they wanted the illegals to leave the restaurant, since everyone else inside felt “uneasy” at their presence.
Upon approaching the group, the illegals told the officer that they had been apprehended at the border by Border Patrol agents, where they tested positive for the coronavirus; nevertheless, they said they were released a few days later.
Sergeant Casas said in his statement that local law enforcement had never been informed of this development by federal immigration authorities. “No one told the city of La Joya. No one told the police department that these people were here, and no one told us that these people were possibly ill.”
And yet, the jackass who is currently sits in the seat of ‘the most powerful man in the world’ has the temerity to demonize unvaccinated Americans. “We have a pandemic because of the unvaccinated, and they’re sowing enormous confusion. And the more we learn about this virus and the Delta variation, the more we have to be worried and concerned.”
Got it. So you and your team not only encourage border jumpers, but release them, WITH COVID-19, into the interior of the United States without a word to anybody, then turn around and start threatening mask mandates for the actual citizens of this country?!
These people are abusing their elected power and it is time to make them understand that they are not gods and we are not their servants. And by “we” I mean “we.” They need to hear from all of us that they’ve gone too far and we’ve had enough and we’re ready to fight the tyranny.
Have a good weekend.
Daily Verse | 1 Kings 15:5
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
It’s Monday and the start of a new week as the lunacy continues under Hunter’s father. But I see signs that Normal Americans are starting to get sick and tired of the nonsense, especially as it concerns the Chinese Bat Flu.
I’ve got three videos for you to watch. (If you have the Daily Broadside delivered and you’re reading this in your email, I encourage you to click through to the site. You really need to watch these.)
The first two are examples of what you and others can do in response to those busybodies who try to interfere with running a business or simply getting on with your life. The third earns a language warning from me, but I share it because most of us feel the same way as the guy who originally shared it.
In the first, Polish pastor Artur Pawlowski demands that police officers and officials from Alberta Health Services and City of Calgary Bylaw services leave after they interrupted a Passover service at the Street Church in Alberta, Canada.
Most chilling is what Pastor Pawlowski said after the video went viral.
“I grew up in Poland under the boot of the Soviets, behind the Iron Curtain,” Pawlowski added to the outlet. “What I see right now, I see everything escalating and moving to the new level. They’re acting just like the Communists were acting when I was growing up when the pastors and the priests were arrested, and some were murdered. Many were tortured.”
“That’s why I say what I say,” he explained to the Daily Caller. “Because I see a repetition of history.”
We should be listening to men and women like him. Most of all, we should be doing what he did and demand that they get out. Which is what the next video also shows.
Again in Canada, patrons of Corduroy, a restaurant in Vancouver, chanted “Get out!” at two health inspectors.
Again, a group of people standing against the representation of tyranny, in this case, two health inspectors. We’ve watched over the last year as masked “Karens” (men and women) rage at others who aren’t wearing masks or aren’t socially-distanced enough for their satisfaction. It’s about time we gave them a dose of their own medicine.
I’m referring to people like the young woman in this next video (don’t know if she’s Canadian, but don’t hear any accent, ay?). Again, language warning both for what she says (especially for what she says) and for the written response of the Twitter user who shared it.
I’m actually sympathetic to the guy’s comment. Is there anyone listening to this woman’s rant who doesn’t think something similar? Seriously, she needs help.
Imagine living in such fear that you rage-shame everyone who isn’t doing what you think they should be doing to keep you safe. And your ideas of what constitutes “safe” are formed by the Covidiots who run our country even though it’s clear they don’t have a clue what the right thing is to do—chief among them “Dr.” Anthony Fauci.
You think me wearing a mask is going to help you? Have you seen the stats?
I’ve have been asked the question, “What do we do?” in the midst of the chaos. One of the things we can do is stand firm against those who try to impose their will on the unwilling. Where mask-wearing is optional or not enforced, I’ve gone into stores without one. Sometimes I have been confronted about it. In each case I’ve refused to comply.
It takes guts to do it, because you may not be successful. But then again, you might be. And if you are successful at staring down the enforcers and others see you do it, then maybe we can inspire them to do the same.
