The more I see the events of this year unfold, I don’t shake my head as much because I’m not really surprised. Is that a bad thing? Well it could be I suppose but it would also show that we’re all getting more numb to the reactions. Not our reactions, but to the reactions of those who are pushing this agenda that is plaguing our Urban and city streets. You can turn off the news and see that the streets are getting flooded with people out there yelling while throwing rocks and attacking authorities like they’re the ones that’s being oppressed, but in fact it shows that are police are the ones being oppressed because they’re just trying to do their job and these rioters don’t want to let them. But let’s not forget they’re all doing it in the name of injustice and defending those who are oppressed. That’s one thing I don’t understand about these rioters, they all seem to be doing something for a reason, but they don’t know why or what that reason is.
Depending on the news source that you watch, each news source will tell you something different. Everybody knows that CNN has gone over the edge for some time now. What we’re now saying is that the once conservative news source called Fox News is now finally going over the edge with CNN. MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, all the alphabet networks are all going over the edge. And why is that? Has anybody asked in all this mess, why are we all letting ourselves go our separate directions? It’s like we’re being divided one piece at a time. I don’t know about you, but I miss the days of the toilet paper shortage. I’d rather deal with that than have to try to put up with rioters or looters and now we can add murderers to that list.
Every fiber of my being is telling me that there is someone, SOMETHING, pulling the puppet strings from behind the curtain. Some of what they’re pushing seems to be a distraction while taunting the federal government to get them to do something forceful that will make the government, or the Trump Administration, look bad. It’s like putting your foot into a trap and not being able to free yourself. I feel that’s how whoever behind the curtain is trying to get the American federal government. I figure once the American people realize that this is going on, we’re going to see a change in the dynamic. Some may even hope it will be a full-on civil war unlike the previous one and if that doesn’t scare you, then maybe you don’t love this country as much as you think.
I mean, look here’s a little sidebar topic, have any of you figured out why Democratic Presidential President Joe Biden is not making many public appearances? I’ve figured out about two legit reasons why that are bigger than any of the other possible reasons: the first is his problems with public talking. I’m not talking about his physical appearance, but I’m talking about his garbled speeches. He seems to be either easily distracted or he’s got a serious mental problem. I’m not a doctor or qualified to make a diagnosis, but the proof is out there in too many videos on youtube (https://youtu.be/TVko3R2D9Ko), news interviews, ect… The second reason I believe that he isn’t making enough appearances is that the Democratic party is letting the mainstream media do all the heavy work in beating up current President Trump. Yeah, it’s a smart tactic, but never rule out the American people and don’t expect them to continue the attack because the trust in the media is not as high as the mainstream media would like for you to believe (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-27/who-do-americans-trust,-trump-or-the-media/12098700?nw=0). It reminds me of how I felt growing up with an older sister and brother: I can fight with my brother or sister, but you can’t. When you did try, you got to take on us all. By the way, President Trump tweeted early this morning, “With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???” (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1288818160389558273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1288818160389558273%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-us-canada-53597975). Again, this is an election year. Anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, can and will happen.
Right now we’ve got so many little things that is dividing us: Black Lives Matter (https://blacklivesmatter.com/), political parties, fake news from every direction (https://www.rutgers.edu/news/fake-news-lowers-trust-mainstream-media-across-party-lines-study-finds), and those with opposing views of the covid-19 pandemic right down to the mask / anti-mask issue. I would say that all of those are connected simply because of the people involved. I’m not just talking about the Ultra / extreme left-wing people who are in the Democratic Party that are mixing with the folks like black lives matter and pushing for everyone to have to wear a mask during the whole covid-19 pandemic. The extreme right also has their little fingers covered in political mud, enough to make a jacked up 4X4 pickup truck get stuck in. What’s sad is that the first casualty in this type of skirmish is the truth. Make no mistake about it, this is an election year. In all my years, this is been the strangest election-year I have ever seen. It’s all strange how it revolves around a few people who are in power, both financially and politically. It’s a battle amongst themselves that seems to be spreading out across the country.
When you look at the situation in Portland, Oregon, the federal troops were originally sent there to protect the federal courthouse (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/portland-protests-federal-agent-clashes-explainer/). I found it funny that the mayor of Portland, Oregon decided to take a walkabout in the protest / riot groups and they turned on him (https://twitter.com/i/status/1286194901357535232). Plus he got tear gassed by the Federal Authorities because they didn’t know he was there. The Democratic governor is telling the feds to get out of her state. Granted, because the city and state is taking Federal money, the Feds do not have to leave. It was an agreement that if the city / state takes money from the federal government, the federal government gets to come in and defend its property. Seems fair, right? Well, not to everyone. Somehow those who opposed the federal government seem to forget that little tidbit. It’s either that or they just want both, the money from the federal government and the right to say or do whatever they please without consequences. As they say in the broadcasting world, “stay tuned…” as President Trump insisted that federal agents would not leave Portland until Oregon Gov. Kate Brown “clear[s] out” protesters from the city (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-feds-won-t-leave-portland-until-governor-clamps-down-on-protesters/ar-BB17niWz).
And since we’re on the topic of federal money, another interesting argument has sparked a debate about public schools not opening and being able to keep their money. President Trump has told several school districts that if they do not open the schools back up in time for the school year to start, then they would be losing funding (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/07/coronavirus-donald-trump-urges-governors-reopen-schools-fall/5390294002/). A lot of schools took that personal because they want that money even though they claim covid-19 is going to prevent them from being open. So now a lot of parents, teachers unions, some other bigwigs in the education industry has all said now that’s not fair. When common sense tells you that it is more than fair because if you’re going to not work, why should you be getting paid? There are so many organizations that are infiltrated with the ideology of doing nothing and getting paid. Seems to me the song from the group Dire Straits “Money for Nothing” (https://youtu.be/lAD6Obi7Cag) should be there national anthem. I’m all for education and I would love to see true history and civics being taught it is across the entire education platform, but I have to stand with the president on this one because it is fair. If you do not work, then you do not get paid, and you do not get to sit on your fourth point of contact blaming somebody else for the problems that you are part of.
It’s like the same way with the people who are complaining about not getting their $600 a week unemployment checks anymore because it ran out at the end of July (https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2020/07/24/unemployment-benefits-end-tomorrow/#774281cd49d6). People are losing their ever-loving mind because they decided to stay home because a lot of them made more money getting unemployment then working a regular job. Truth be told, I knew this was going to happen and personally I prefer to be working instead of sitting on my butt collecting a paycheck like that. We’re all going to have to pay for it, even for our stimulus checks that we got back in April and the ones were supposedly getting next month (https://www.dailypress.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-nyt-second-stimulus-check-updates-20200728-ueue56sjffge5pdk2c3aux562q-story.html). This money is not free, it’s got to be paid back somehow for our future. And people are upset, absolutely losing their minds over this concept. It’s common sense, but nobody seems to want to use it. They don’t want to take their stimulus checks out instead of paying their bills and their mortgage or their rent, and went out and bought big screen TVs and other fancy electronics. It was like Christmas all over again. Actually it was like the anti-Christmas. There was no love or no reason for the season, it was just selfishness.
And now, let me be the “Mask-hole” by adding just one more straw to that camel’s back. The whole wearing a mask thing is getting too seriously intense. It’s a blatant slap in the face to the American people when the mainstream media says that the Coronavirus infections spikes are because people are going out to music festivals ( https://katv.com/news/local/arkansas-music-festival-cited-for-virus-safety-violations?fbclid=IwAR1IHcR9hSck9SihIyFA0ctgjGKZ1e2RT9X7GvRfEgSbRcd-yqDQEa58xts) and public events in the Democratic led states or large cities. It’s like those in power are taking away the fun out of our lives and people aren’t going to take it well. There has to be a trade off somewhere, beit having the state mandate to wear the masks in public, but have everything business and entertainment open. In a new report, Dr Fauci tells people to wear eye shields for “perfect” protection from coronavirus amid growing evidence particles can get into eyes (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8573835/Fauci-recommends-wearing-eye-protection-protect-against-coronavirus.html?fbclid=IwAR1d3LkEWVdgst9ARS9lo4h7Q7CbaW9xDyPljxaFYeA6VS1RxGG9chltGeI). Does that mean we all get to drop the masks and just use goggles now? That was a sarcastic question, incase you couldn’t tell. One has to wonder if the people on the COVID-19 task force are getting a kick out of seeing people react to what they are suggesting about how to properly protect yourself from the virus. Can you imagine all of them sitting around a table all laughing and sharing pictures or videos of all the people at Walmart? I do have to say it is funny that Walmart reversed its decision to allow non-wearing mask customers to shop at their store less than a week after they announced the policy. I said it would be because they would get impacted on their physical stores, but they would see an increase in their online shopping. However, Walmart claims the policy was reversed because of all the conflicts between shoppers and workers over enforcing the use of wearing the mask while shopping (https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/report-walmart-other-stores-to-allow-people-refusing-masks-to-shop-out-of-concern-for-employees/).
Earlier this week, there was a video that started making the rounds on social media that was from an organization called Frontline Doctors (https://frontlinedoctor.com/). In the video, there were several doctors from across the United States making a press conference outside with a (https://video.parler.com/q7/Xv/q7Xv5qz0XZuE.mp4). President Trump shared multiple versions of the video with his Twitter followers while the mainstream media claimed the video was running counter to his administration’s own public health experts. This video showed the doctors who are warning people about the treatment of COVID-19 and NEEDS to be watched! One of the doctors said “This virus has a cure, it’s called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. You don’t need masks, there is a cure.” Unfortunately, it was labeled as “false and dubious claims” before it was removed by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube after going viral online. But if it is being labelled as “Fake News”, then why is President Trump telling everyone that he is still taking hydroxychloroquine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZYiS05FmiQ)?
Could blocking that video and information be part of a special deal that Big Pharma has with all these social media companies to keep you away from the truth? Perhaps it is just another way that Big Pharma keeps their hands in your wallet or purse so you don’t stray off? In other words, they don’t make any money with a “cure”, but it’s almost guaranteed income with the treatment. Don’t worry though, if you don’t want Big Pharma in your life, you can always go over to good ol’ uncle Bill and aunt Melinda’s Foundation for their snake oil vaccine (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/28/bill-gates-lies-spread-faster-than-facts-on-social-media.html)! Another funny moment came in a recent interview with Bill Gates on CNBC when he was talking about Elon Musk’s comments about COVID-19, telling the automaker entrepreneur to stay in his lane. “Elon’s positioning is to maintain a high level of outrageous comments,” Gates said. “He’s not much involved in vaccines. He makes a great electric car. And his rockets work well. So he’s allowed to say these things. I hope that he doesn’t confuse areas he’s not involved in too much.” That’s kinda funny, there Bill. We could all say the same thing to you. Again, why trust a man with a vaccine who can’t keep viruses out of his own software?
I know there’s a lot of stuff I’m dumping on you with all this. The reason I make this information accessible for our partners of The Big John Show is because I want you to do your own research about what I say here. I have the proof right in front of me and that’s why I provide the links on the blog at our website and social media. There’s a whole lot of confusion being created daily, almost hourly. If you pay any attention to the mainstream news cycles, on average, there is an updated news story every 15 minutes. However, that doesn’t mean the opinion shows won’t harp on the same old story for hours at a time. It’s like they beat you over the head with the same story over and over until you can almost quote it word for word in your sleep. It’s the same tactic used in Guerilla marketing, something I enjoy doing for my shows.
I’m going to tell you a little story that I haven’t shared openly about how things were in my house before the stimulus check appeared magically into our bank account. My unemployment has run out back in late January, I was looking for another job and no luck. I got a few interviews here and there, but no one hired me because about that same time covid-19 coronavirus pandemic started to kick into high gear by the first of February. We were a month behind when January came and went, then February another month behind on our mortgage and car payment. I middle of February I was literally on my knees begging God for money. I would work for it and have no problem if I could just get a job.
I was already on the phone with the banks about the mortgage and the car during the first part of March 2020. I spoke with them about seeing if they had a special program for people who are down on their luck. Both of them told me not unless I lost my job due to COVID-19 and that I could make the minimum payments, that’s just part of the payment that does not include interest. I couldn’t even make those. My wife was working part time at a hotel in town and everything she got went on the electric, water, and fuel for the car. We didn’t have cable TV, but we have the internet. We have our cell phones. Somehow my mom figured out that we weren’t going to have the payments for our house or car and that it was a real possibility we really lose our home and car. So she wrote a check and told us to use the money to pay the house and the car payments. I had told my mother “I don’t know how I’m going to pay you back because I ain’t got a job in the way things look, everybody shutting down.” She said that’s all right. Just pay me back when you can. At the time we were still waiting for our taxes to come in and that’s a whole other mess thanks to COVID-19.
So we made the payments and extended the inevitable for one more month. The Banks told us that we could make the month payments no later than the last day of the month so it wouldn’t hurt us and it would give us a whole other month if we could come up with the money. In other words they wouldn’t come repo the car or kick us out of the house if we couldn’t make the payment on their preferred deadline each month. Finally in April, by the miracle grace of God because my knees were sore and I think he got tired of hearing me, we got our stimulus checks that magically appeared in the bank account. We got caught up with that mortgage and the car payments. And then we were almost broke again but we got another three months before we worry about losing either one.
We had enough money to make the payments in May and June, but now we are back to square one. It was very nice to be able to get caught up and some of the stress was gone for a while, but still no luck with landing a job. I’ve had a few interviews, like I said, even after we got the stimulus checks. Mostly over the phone and not yet have I seen any positive results. The reason I am telling you all this now is that if you are going through a similar situation, I want you to understand you are not alone. I really think a lot of people are going through the same thing right now. It’s times like these that I really talk God’s ear off, although sometimes I feel he has me on hold. As much as I wish I could just drop everything and walk away, I can’t because of responsibilities to my family. In case you don’t know, it’s called “Adulting”. I would love to bring money back into my home and family once again. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact I am able to offer my gifts and talent online, I would also like to be back on terrestrial radio. The only answer I can find is that right now, God doesn’t want me to find a new gig or job yet. It’s not fair, but that is life. God will provide what his followers and believers need. I have to have faith in that. That’s one positive thing I’ve seen so far this year.
