Good evening, America and who ever else might be eavesdropping on our little discussions on this Thursday. What a week for shootings, political agenda’s, and what a day for the weather. First and foremost, I want our friends, listeners, and radio family down in Alabama to know they are in our hearts and prayers after the horrific severe thunderstorms and tornadoes that cause so much damage. Massive damage caused by multiple tornadoes, including one that stayed on the ground for almost an whopping hour! Hard to believe, but true. Very large and massive tornado was on the ground that will most likely surveyed by the National Weather Service out of Birmingham, Alabama along with the team from the National Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, Oklahoma. Still a lot of people out of power and other utilities along with some now homeless due to mother natures fury. So again, I want to sincerely let those folks down in Alabama and everywhere else who was affected by these storms in the south that they are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers and ask that you keep them in yours as well. This is a great time for Americans to come together and help one another. Remind each other and the world who Americans really, truly are. 

 

     Outside of Mother Natures fury, this week has been marked by tragedy for a second time in as many weeks. A 21-year-old man, named Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who is from the Denver suburb of Arvada, opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket in an attack that killed 10 people, including 51-year-old police officer Eric Talley, the first officer on the scene. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was used an assault weapon, which he bought on March 16, just six days before the attack at a King Soopers store in Boulder, according to an arrest affidavit, but it was not immediately known where the gun was purchased, should anyone actually care enough to make it a case. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, who is from the Denver suburb of Arvada, was booked into the county jail on Tuesday for murder charges after being treated at a hospital. Investigators have not established a motive, but they believe Alissa was the only shooter. It is an on-going case that is under investigation for the time being. 

 

     This attack was the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since a 2019 assault on a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, where a gunman killed 22 people in a rampage, However, back in the clown factory known as Washington D.C., President Joe Biden called on Congress to tighten the nation’s gun laws, which is already getting some backlash. Other members of the swamp are getting their own backlash as well, such ass  Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar for claiming a mass shooter’s race is only “front and center when they aren’t white” one week after saying “white mass murderers are protected by cops”. Her social media diarrhea didn’t stop with those two comments, she also tweeted the next day after the Boulder shooting that a gunman’s “race or ethnicity” appeared to be the main focus when the perpetrator was not white. “The shooter’s race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white. Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day,” Ilhan Omar said (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9397477/Ilhan-Omar-faces-backlash-Boulder-shooting-tweet.html). 

 

     Many on social media had initially believed the gunman responsible for the Boulder massacre that left 10 dead was a white man, thanks to the comments / tweets on social media by people pushing an agenda, certain operators  from the left, and the Mainstream Media. It has since been revealed that the 21-year-old gunman, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is of Syrian descendant. Critics slammed Omar and referenced one of her tweets from a week earlier where she mentioned how the Atlanta shooting was carried out by a white man. Among the backlash, mainly from conservatives, against Omar was from those telling the congresswoman to take her own advice. Another backlash came as United States Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece Meena first tweeted, but later deleted a tweet after she was criticized for assuming the gunman was white because he was taken into custody alive. Meena Harris deleted tweet said ‘The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country”. In a follow up tweet, Meena, 36-year-old mother-of-two, lawyer and children’s book author, said: “I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting”.

 

     Look, I get that everyone has their own opinion about everything, but if you are someone who people circulate around and can influence or have direct connections to those who are in power, then you may want to think twice before posting that comment, unless you enjoy eating crow when the facts are presented. Other than that, you do nothing but stir the pot when you make assumptions public on social media or in front of a camera and microphone that deep down you know will trigger someone to react in a way that will manipulate a situation. That’s why I don’t pay too much attention to what people say during situations like this, I’m not one to give them the power over my actions, thoughts, or ideas. I’m not a gambler, but if I was, I would make a million dollar bet that if more people didn’t let others manipulate their feelings, ideas, or thoughts about similar situations as to what we are talking about, then the world would be a better place, much less this nation. It’s a bad case of TMZ on steroids for the last several years because the left wants you to stay uneasy, stay triggered, and to react according to their plans. I refuse, I WILL NOT COMPLY! In fact, that should be the mantra for the average American: I WILL NOT COMPLY!

 

     Let’s talk about something else serious that ties into all the gun control that those on the left are screaming for. Just so you now, despite a decrease in the number of mass shootings, 2020 was the deadliest year in terms of gun violence in the U.S. since at least the 1990s (https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls). According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were 43,535 gun deaths in the U.S. last year – 19,379 due to homicide and 24,156 due to suicide. Experts worry that a primary focus on mass shootings, like the attacks in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado, that killed a total of 18 people over the last two weeks, could obscure the true scope of the issue. More details from various sources include:

• • Mass shootings declined in 2020, but did not stop. Forty people have died in mass shootings since March 2020, according to The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03/23/2020-shootings/). They defines a mass shooting as one that occurs in a public place and where at least four people are killed, not including the shooter.
  • According to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, they say that 53% of all gun homicide victims are Black men, despite this group making up only 6.5% of the U.S. population (https://efsgv.org/wp-content/uploads/2019CDCdata.pdf). Black men between 15 and 34 make up 37% of gun homicide victims but only 2% of the population.
  • Suicides typically make up about 60% of gun deaths in America, though they accounted for about 55% in 2020.
  • Men account for 87% of all gun suicides. 73% of the total are white men.
  • Shooting homicides rose in 2020 (https://counciloncj.org/news/550859/New-Data-Shows-Sharp-Rise-in-Homicide-in-U.S.-Cities-in-2020.htm). Homicides were up 30% in America’s 34 largest cities, while robberies and drug arrests dropped.

 

     Here are some more statistics for you concerning how the the pandemic lockdowns had little to no affect on slowing down violence of any kind among all colors and ethnics in the larger cities. This study examines monthly crime rates for ten violent, property, and drug offenses in  34 U.S. cities. Not all cities reported monthly data for each crime. The largest city in the sample is New York, with 8.42 million residents. The smallest is Norfolk, Virginia, with 245,000 residents. The crime data were obtained from the online portals of city police departments. The data includes:

• Homicides rose sharply in 2020, and rates of aggravated assaults and gun assaults increased as well. Homicide rates were 30% higher than in 2019, an historic increase representing 1,268 more deaths in the sample of 34 cities than the year before. The magnitude of this increase is deeply troubling, but absolute rates of homicide remain well below historical highs. In 2020, the homicide rate was 11.4 deaths per 100,000 residents in sample cities; 25 years earlier, in 1995, the rate was 19.4 per 100,000 residents.
• Aggravated assault and gun assault rates in 2020 were 6% and 8% higher, respectively, than in 2019. Robbery rates declined by 9%.
• Domestic violence increased significantly during the early months of the pandemic, but these results should be viewed with caution as year-end rates were comparable to year-end rates in 2019, and findings were based on data from just 12 cities.
• Property and drug crime rates, with the exception of motor vehicle theft, fell significantly in 2020. Residential burglary decreased by 24%, nonresidential burglary by 7%, larceny by 16%, and drug offenses by 30%. Motor vehicle theft rose by 13%.
• Homicides increased in nearly all of the 34 cities in the sample. In the authors’ view, urgent action is necessary to address these rapidly rising rates. Subduing the pandemic, increasing confidence in the police and the justice system, and implementing proven anti-violence strategies will be necessary to achieve a durable peace in the nation’s cities.

 

     Again, this is to give you some perspective and prove that some at least some of what you may be hearing on the Mainstream Media and on social media. They will use what happened in Boulder, Colorado earlier this week and in Atlanta, Georgia last week to push their agenda to ban on Assault Weapons (i.e. AR-15), along with the second amendment, the right to bear arms (https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/amendment-ii/interps/99). This was passed by Congress on September 25, 1789, but then later Ratified December 15, 1791 that states: “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.” It’s one of the first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights. Right now, while we have a mostly democratic control in congress and administration, it seems like we may have to legally fight harder than we’ve ever fought before to keep our rights.

 

    A top communications person in the White House has instructed federal agencies to refer to the “Biden administration” as the “Biden-Harris administration,” a leaked memo confirmed (https://getoutspoken.com/exclusive/to-downplay-biden-white-house-directs-all-agencies-to-refer-to-biden-harris-administration-in-official-communications). Federal agencies have been instructed to refer to the “Biden administration” as the “Biden-Harris administration” (https://m.analyzingamerica.org/2021/03/623891/). “Please be sure to reference the current administration as the ‘Biden-Harris Administration’ in official public communications,” the email stated. The Biden-Harris administration is the first administration to refer to both the president and vice president when referring to the White House. The official White House Twitter accounts from previous administrations never mentioned the vice president. Obama’s administration’s account description read, “Follow for the latest from President Obama and his administration.” “Welcome to White House! Follow for the latest from President @realDonaldTrump and his Administration.” Likewise, the archived versions of both accounts on Twitter cite the “Obama Administration” and “Trump Administration.”

 

     The agencies that have made the change include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, HHS, Homeland Security, HHUD, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and VA, as well as the attorney general’s office. The move isn’t surprising. Many of us have wondered just how much of a role Harris would play in the administration, especially when Biden accidentally referred to his administration as the “Harris administration”. It makes you wonder if this means Harris will soon be taking over and this is a transition between the “Biden administration” and the “Harris administration”. In previous tweets, Biden has also referred to his administration as the Biden-Harris administration: “Let me be clear: The Biden-Harris Administration will spare no effort to make sure people are getting vaccinated” (https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1345063487957917696) . The official White House twitter account also refers to the Biden-Harris administration.

 

     Something else I wanted to touch on that could be coming to a town near you because it is making history, but I’m not sure in a good way. The town of Evanston, Illinois, is the first city in the United States to approve a plan to pay its Black residents as a form of reparations for past discrimination (https://www.cityofevanston.org/government/city-council/reparations). This is for those who have lived in the suburban town north of Chicago between 1919 and 1969, as well as their descendants or others who can show that they faced housing discrimination, are eligible for reparations in the form of $25,000 for home repairs or down payments on a property. The revenue is being funded through a 3% tax on recreational cannabis sales. In passing Resolution 58-R-19, “Commitment to End Structural Racism and Achieve Racial Equity,” the City of Evanston government recognizes the government allowed and perpetuated racial disparities through the use of many regulatory and policy oriented tools. “The Restorative Housing Program”, the first Program of the Evanston Local Reparations Fund, acknowledges the harm caused to Black/African-American Evanston residents due to discriminatory housing policies and practices and inaction on the City’s part. The Program outlined in this document is a step towards:

● Revitalize, preserve, and stabilize Black/African-American owner-occupied homes in Evanston;
● Increase homeownership and build the wealth of Black/African-American residents;
● Build intergenerational equity amongst Black/African-American residents; and
● Improve the retention rate of Black/African-American homeowners in the City of Evanston.

 

     Finally, to give you an update from last week about Astrazeneca COVIDE-19 vaccine, it seems it is not exactly telling the United States government the truth about it’s testing results. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said it had been informed about the data questions by the data and safety monitoring board auditing the trial. DSMBs consist of independent medical experts who review data produced from clinical trials (https://www.statnews.com/2021/03/23/astrazeneca-may-have-used-outdated-information-in-announcing-covid19-vaccine-results/). “We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date efficacy data be made public as quickly as possible,” NIAID said. The company claimed 79% efficacy, panel says more recent data showed as low as 70%.

     Hello my fellow citizens, friends, family, and acquaintances! I trust your week has been anything but boring, especially to those people who live in the United States that received their “Pandemic Stimulus” this week. Yes, that extra $1400 dollars to spend on getting caught up on their bills. Ahhh yes, if you’re so lucky enough to get caught up on your bills and you have a little bit left over oh, you could go splurge on yourself and buy that really cool piece of electronics that you really wanted to add to your home stereo or television set up, but then you can also save that money and put it toward next month bills. Maybe if you feel frisky enough, you could throw it into the stock market where I hear that stocks like GameStop, AMC movie theaters, and Zomedica are going to explode here pretty soon. Meaning if you got money to invest in the stock market, and you feel like writing the way without for just a little bit longer, you just might make a few extra bucks before the end of the year.

 

     Of course, I’m not a financial guru and I am not offering any financial advice. I just appreciate the due diligence that the folks over at the sub-reddit I like following (https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetbetsnew/) are putting out for simple folks to make a few extra bucks instead of relying on the big hedge funds to tell them what to do. I know that the mainstream media is not really going to talk about it other than just to put the folks on Reddit down because the mainstream media seems to like to kick the underdog lately. Well here’s a safe bet that I’m pretty sure everyone’s heard of before: sometimes the dog bites the hand that feeds. I do find the timing interesting that it parallels with the openings of more states from the lock downs courtesy of the China Virus, Wuhan Flu, the Kung Flu, or just the plain ol’ COVID-19. It’s like watching a rodeo as the rider comes shooting out of the gates on the back of a bucking bronco that most would be too scared to ride as one brave soul who might actually get the full eight seconds on a beast nicknamed “death”, the feel of the roaring of the crowd, and the glory of wearing a belt buckle he or she won’t have to sell at the local pawnshop to make it to the next rodeo across the state. I suppose like anything else, there is that risk of addiction that might come into play. No matter if it’s the stock market, rodeo, everyday life trying to pay your bills and take care of your family, or perhaps, taking an experimental drug that hasn’t had it’s proper testing because of a possible “plandemic”…

 

     Tonight I want to talk to you a little bit about something I feel that is not getting covered in the mainstream media as often as it should be. Something happened this week that really gives me grave concern and I’m worried. Those people who took certain vaccines thinking it’s going to help them but are suffering from things like blood clots and other side effects due to taking the covid-19 vaccine AstraZeneca, there’s a lot of fear coming out of Europe right now and here recently because of the side effects even though the World Health Organization said it’s safe. AstraZeneca, which developed the vaccine in partnership with the University of Oxford, has said the number of cases of blood clotting among the roughly 17 million people in the EU and U.K. who have received the shot is lower than for the general population. The vaccine is given via two injections to the arm, the second between 4 and 12 weeks after the first. The blood clots reported in some people who received the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine are known generally as venous thromboembolic events, and are relatively common. They involve the formation of a thickened clump of blood in a blood vessel, which can cause fatal blockages. Health officials in the U.S. have included thromboembolic events among various types of adverse events of special interest they are monitoring as Covid-19 vaccines get deployed widely. Large-scale human trials also didn’t raise flags about blood clotting as a risk.

 

     To put it in comparison, during a large trial of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine, which was authorized for use in the U.S. in late February, there were slightly more blood clots among vaccine recipients than among those who received a placebo. The Food and Drug Administration said it couldn’t exclude the possibility that the vaccine contributed to the higher number, and plans to monitor for clots as the J&J shot gets deployed in the larger population. Venous thromboembolism also can occur in people with Covid-19. The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, whose members include medical professionals who treat blood clots, issued a statement Friday recommending that all eligible adults continue to get a Covid-19 vaccine because the small number of reported thrombotic events relative to the millions of vaccinations doesn’t suggest a direct link. However, Denmark wasn’t taking any risks as it was the first to suspend the AstraZeneca shots. Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands and Iceland have also said they would wait for Europe’s bloc-wide medicines regulator to investigate a small number of serious blood-clotting issues among people who had received the AstraZeneca shot. Four of Europe’s most populous countries have now suspended the use of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine after series of reports of blood clots and some of the recently inoculated patients.

 

     The World Health organization’s is trying to convince countries to continue using it. Shortly after Germany said it was going to stop the distribution of the AstraZeneca shots earlier this week, France, Italy, and Spain announced that they would all do the same describing all their moves as precautionary measures while waiting from impending analysis from European regulators (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03/15/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/). France’s health regulator said there was still not enough data about the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine for patients over 65 years of age. “These data will arrive in the coming weeks. In the meantime we recommend its use for people under 65 years old,” it said. It recommended the vaccine for health workers and vulnerable people between the ages of 50 and 65. While other health authorities in Sweden and Poland made similar announcements and Belgium’s health minister said the vaccine, for the moment, would only be given to people below the age of 55. Italy’s medicines agency on Saturday also approved the jab for all adults under 55 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55901957). 

 

     Now these countries join a few other nations that have already pause the use of the vaccine as well. They’re all impending on additional data. The vaccine hasn’t been approved in the U.S. AstraZeneca is expected to apply for authorization for emergency use once it submits results from Phase 3 human trials conducted in the U.S. Those trials are due as early as this month (https://www.wsj.com/articles/germany-becomes-latest-european-country-to-suspend-use-of-astrazenecas-covid-19-vaccine-11615820414). Europe’s vaccination rates are far lower than in the U.S. and the U.K., where Covid-19 cases have stabilized or are falling. But experts say it’s not clear whether the vaccine can be blamed for any of the clotting problems in people who had been recently vaccinated. Meanwhile, in Thailand officials announced a plan to restart vaccinations using the AstraZeneca shots following a brief pause last week. Thailand was the first country outside of Europe to stop using the vaccine following safety concerns.

 

     The sad thing is that the World Health Organization is really more worried about countries not having access to vaccines more than they are blood clots concerns. Yeah the World Health Organization is telling these countries to continue using a vaccine that is known to cause serious blood clot issues which by the way can kill you or the person taking it, but they’re still urging these countries to just go ahead and give out the vaccine. And for some asinine reason, we’re going to go ahead and give the World Health Organization billions of dollars each year. It honestly makes no damn sense.  The top WHO scientist reiterates that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines. “We do not want people to panic,” a spokesman said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has been no association, so far, pinpointed between so-called “thromboembolic events” reported in some countries and COVID-19 shots (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus/germany-italy-france-suspend-astrazeneca-shots-amid-safety-fears-disrupting-eu-vaccinations-idUSKBN2B722U). There have also been manufacturing delays. Last week, AstraZeneca warned it would fall short of projected vaccine deliveries to Europe in coming months, by 100 million doses, almost two-thirds less than what the continent was expecting based on the company’s earlier pledges.

 

     Again, these moves by some of Europe’s countries will create even more growing concerns about the vaccines in the regions, which has been plagued by shortages due to problems producing vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s. It doesn’t help that the World Health Organization said new coronavirus cases increased globally for the first time in seven weeks, and officials expressed concern that cases could again rise significantly (https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/france-reverses-course-using-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine-citizens-over-65). This coincides with Germany’s recent warning it was facing a third wave of infections, Italy is intensifying lockdowns, and hospitals in the Paris region are close to being overloaded. Austria and Spain have stopped using particular batches and prosecutors in the northern Italian region of Piedmont earlier seized 393,600 doses following the death of a man hours after he was vaccinated. It was the second region to do so after Sicily, where two people had died shortly after having their shots. If there is any bright side to this, The United Kingdom said it had no concerns, while Poland said it thought the benefits outweighed any risks. The only ones that really not complaining is the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose Health officials have already approved the AstraZeneca shot, calling it safe and effective.

 

     Just to be perfectly clear before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines whether to approve a vaccine or authorize a vaccine for emergency use, clinical trials are conducted to determine vaccine efficacy (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/effectiveness-research/protocols.html). After FDA approves a vaccine or authorizes a vaccine for emergency use, it continues to be studied to determine how well it works under real-world conditions. CDC and other federal partners will be assessing COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness under real-world conditions. Such evaluations will help everyone understand if vaccines are performing as expected outside the more controlled setting of a clinical trial. As vaccine uptake increases nationally, doctors also try to understand how well the vaccines:

• Perform in specific subpopulations
• Reduce the risk of infection (including infection without symptoms)
• Protect against milder COVID-19 illness
• Prevent more serious outcomes, including hospitalization
• Prevent spread of illness (e.g., whether people who have been vaccinated can still spread COVID-19 to others)
• Provide long-term protection (i.e., assess duration of protection)
• Protect against changes in the virus (new variants)
• Protect against COVID-19 when the vaccine is administered using a single dose or when the second dose is delayed, if these dosing regimens occur under real-world conditions

Several factors can affect real-world vaccine effectiveness, including:

• Population host factors (e.g., people not included in clinical trials who may respond differently to the vaccine)
• Virus factors (e.g., variants)
• Programmatic factors (e.g., adherence to dosing schedules or storage/handling of vaccines)

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention will use several methods to study all of these factors, as they can all contribute different information about how a vaccine is working. In the United States, health officials are warning that another surge in cases could be on the horizon, as newer and more infectious variants of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 are growing more frequently. The new upward trend in cases comes as most states are easing coronavirus restrictions. (https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/france-reverses-course-using-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine-citizens-over-65)

 

     Now I also want to be VERY clear on something else: I am NOT TELLING YOU to skip out on taking the COVID-19 vaccine, nor am I pushing to not take it seriously. I’ve always told you on this show and any other time this discussion has come up that you do what is best for you and don’t push it on anyone else. If you feel like taking the vaccines, then do so under your doctors guidance. If you want to were a mask, please feel free to do so as long as you wear it properly over your mouth and nose, not just one or the other. I’ve seen some just wear it on their chin. Probably just as important, don’t shame others if they don’t want to wear a mask or take the vaccine. It’s not your call to make and they aren’t hurting you as long as you are protected via mask or vaccine. Not everyone’s body is the same and as pointed out earlier, these vaccines are not a “one size fits all” type scenario. Please, you’ve got to keep an open mind on this if we are all going to make it. We have to quit being so narrow minded and shaming the other side.

 

    Personally, I could care less if you are wearing a mask or vaccinated. I only care about my body and family, whom I might add is split on the idea that the vaccination and masks work. Even though I have provided evidence, courtesy of the CDC, last week that the masks don’t work as good as Dr. Fauci claims in protecting us from the virus and death. Keep in mind that Dr. Fauci has stocks in some of the companies that manufacture these vaccines. So yes, he’s going to tell you to bundle up on your masks and vaccines. HE’S MAKING MONEY OFF YOUR FEAR!! Dr. Anthony Fauci made $417,608 in 2019, the latest year for which federal salaries are available. That made him not only the highest paid doctor in the federal government, but the highest paid out of all four million federal employees (https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/01/25/dr-anthony-fauci-the-highest-paid-employee-in-the-entire-us-federal-government/?sh=68ca2f53386f). Earlier today, it was announced that a tense exchange happened during the Senate Help, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on the COVID-19 pandemic, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of wearing a mask “for show” since he has already been vaccinated for COVID-19 and questioned why the country’s top public health officials have said Americans may need to wear masks into 2022 if they have developed immunity from the virus. Senator Paul began by citing one study that found that very few people people who have become infected with the virus have been reinfected and another that showed that being infected would provide enough immunity to prevent people from being hospitalized for years.

 

     In an intense argument (https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/18/nation/heated-exchange-senator-paul-accuses-dr-fauci-wearing-masks-after-being-vaccinated-show/), Dr. Fauci said he agreed with Senator Paul that if someone is infected with the wild-type, or prevalent strain of the virus, they are likely to be protected from the wild-type for at least six months. But he went on to cite a study that found that for those who had been infected with the wild-type and had then been exposed to the South African variant, it was “as if they had never been infected before, but we in our country now have variants that are circulating,” Fauci said, adding that we don’t have prevalence of a variant yet, but one, the U.K. variant, is “becoming more dominant.”  Senator Paul replied “You want people to wear masks for another couple years, you’ve been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show. You’re defying everything we know about immunity by telling people to wear masks if they have been vaccinated.” This isn’t the first time these two have verbally duked it out in public, Dr. Fauci and Senator Paul have sparred in hearings for months over COVID-19 measures. To me, it makes sense what Senator Paul is asking and the points he is making. Why, if you are vaccinated, should you have to wear a mask or two at the same time? I think common sense needs to prevail here and more people need to wake up in this “woken” society that seems to be taking shape.

 

     If “Whiteness is a Pandemic” (https://nypost.com/2021/03/18/the-root-accused-of-racism-after-piece-declares-whiteness-is-a-pandemic/), then the lack of common sense is too. Oh wait, you didn’t hear about that? Oh, this is going to be fun. In a piece written by Root Senior editor, Damon Young, he strongly insists that “Whiteness” is a “public health crisis.” The Root is owned by G/O Media, whose outlets include Deadspin, Jezebel, Gizmodo and The A.V. Club. He goes on to say insisting former President Donald Trump and the GOP “

“can and should be blamed for this and the sudden increase of racist violence against Asian Americans. The line doesn’t stop there, though. It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere white [sic] supremacy exists here, in America, which is everywhere,” Young wrote before referencing the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue and the 2015 Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church massacres. But also to gentrification, to red-lining, to racial profiling, to gerrymandering, to voter oppression, to mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to the subprime mortgage crisis, to the vast disparities in both COVID deaths and who receives COVID vaccinations, to how the men and women who stormed the Capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward. White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it and kill it. I guess a vaccine could work, too. But we’ve had 400 years to develop one, so I won’t hold my breath.”

     Wow, makes me want to ask how he really, but I don’t want to get the guy started on a rant where he might say something he would regret. Wait, it’s too late for that. The Twitter-ites already got him, calling his piece “the definition of racism”. Another user called it “Thought provoking racism”. Those are just the nice, family friendly tweets I can share with you.

 

     Now, finally on to something else I wanted to talk to you about. Even though it is a day late, but not a dollar short: St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast–on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. Saint Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, is the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16 (https://www.journalenterprise.com/a-history-of-st-patrick-s-day/article_82eaa573-ffe9-5eff-80c3-86a135ae411d.html). He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick’s death (believed to have been on March 17, 461), the mythology surrounding his life became ever more ingrained in the Irish culture: Perhaps the most well-known legend of St. Patrick is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.

 

Since around the ninth or 10th century, people in Ireland have been observing the Roman Catholic feast day of St. Patrick on March 17th. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place not in Ireland, but in America (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/03/17/the-incredible-story-of-americas-first-st-patricks-day-celebration/). Records show that a St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17, 1601 in a Spanish colony in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The parade, and a St. Patrick’s Day celebration a year earlier were organized by the Spanish Colony’s Irish vicar Ricardo Artur. More than a century later, homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched in New York City on March 17, 1772 to honor the Irish patron saint. Enthusiasm for the St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York City, Boston and other early American cities only grew from there. 

 

People of all backgrounds celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, especially throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Although North America is home to the largest productions, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world in locations far from Ireland, including Japan, Singapore and Russia. Popular St. Patrick’s Day recipes include Irish soda bread, corned beef and cabbage and champ. In the United States, people often wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. Some other fun facts include:

• St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland – In 431, before Patrick began preaching in Ireland, Pope Celestine reportedly sent a bishop known as Palladius “to the Irish believing in Christ”—an indication that some residents of the Emerald Isle had already converted by then. One theory holds that the St. Patrick of lore is actually an amalgam of two men: Palladius and the deacon’s son who first visited Ireland as an enslaved man.
• St. Patrick banished snakes from the Emerald Isle – Legend has it that Patrick stood on an Irish hillside and delivered a sermon that drove the island’s serpents into the sea. While it’s true that the Emerald Isle is mercifully snake-free, chances are that’s been the case throughout human history. Water has surrounded Ireland since the end of the last glacial period, preventing snakes from slithering over; before that, it was blanketed in ice and too chilly for the cold-blooded creatures. Scholars believe the snake story is an allegory for St. Patrick’s eradication of pagan ideology.
• Green has historically been associated with St. Patrick’s Day –  The Irish countryside may be many shades of green, but knights in the Order of St. Patrick wore a color known as St. Patrick’s blue. Why did green become so emblematic of St. Patrick that people began drinking green beer, wearing green and, of course, dyeing the Chicago River green to mark the holiday he inspired? The association probably dates back to the 18th century, when supporters of Irish independence used the color to represent their cause.
• Corned beef is a classic St. Patrick’s Day dish – On St. Patrick’s Day, countless merrymakers in the United States, Canada and elsewhere savor copious plates of corned beef and cabbage. In Ireland, however, a type of bacon similar to ham is the customary protein on the holiday table. In the late 19th century, Irish immigrants in New York City’s Lower East Side supposedly substituted corned beef, which they bought from their Jewish neighbors, in order to save money. That’s not to say salt-cured beef isn’t a traditional Irish dish; pork, however, has historically been more widely available on the Emerald Isle.

 

     And that about wraps it up for this week, folks. As usual, thanks for joining in and I hope you feel like you learned something more than you did a short while ago. Keep your chins up and I hope God blesses you with all the love and life he has to offer.

     Hello everyone, welcome one and all, you are in the right place at the right time. Rest assured, you are among friends on this COVID-19 Global Pandemic Day. We come together tonight, one year wiser after a very interesting and difficult period in not only our country’s history, but in world history. Global strife over the past year sure seems more like a decade than 365 days or one revolution around the sun. Oh, wait… I better not say the word, “revolution”, because that might trigger those running the United States capitol, also known as Washington D.C., or is it just going to be called Washington? Keep that question and thoughts in mind as we’ll talk more about that later. No, right now we should keep the attention on the significance of the day because it has been the main topic for the 366th day in a row, even topping discussions about politics, the 2020 election, the economy, states rights, day-to-day living, even life itself! And according to the World Health Organization, we can all thank the country, along with the government, of China for the gift that keeps on giving: COVID-19.

   

     The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in December of 2019 in China, the microbe ripped across the globe and eventually spread across the United States. In a matter of days, it caused a dizzying cascade of events that overwhelmed hospitals and forced physicians in the trenches to figure out on the fly how to treat a mystifying disease caused by a new virus that was created in a government lab outside of Wuhan, the capital of Central China’s Hubei province. It is a commercial center divided by the Yangtze and Han rivers. The 12-month learning curve has been agonizingly steep, but researchers have figured a way to manage the disease and its complications, knowledge that lays the groundwork for understanding and treating infections caused by other novel viruses. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic. Students of all ages had to learn from home, employees transitioned to working remotely, and many people were laid off from their careers, all while researchers and health care providers pivoted to help the world address the threat of the novel coronavirus.

 

     I don’t know about you, but I sure do miss the freedom’s we had before the United States government shut down the country, resulting in some of the states being locked down completely, and illegally I might add. It became a power grab, a reason to control the people, and becoming a prison sentence for businesses. Some faced death in ways beyond the physical, but financially, emotionally, and so on. You’ve heard me discuss it over and over about how Governors in California, Michigan, and New York were creating more problems that what the people needed. Technically, no one needs to have problems, but to many of the people, they felt like prisoners in their own homes, not being able to step out without being shouted at to go back in. In other states, people could go out but only if they wore a mask over their face. I thought it was funny that a lot of those same folks who performed mask-shaming on others had no idea how to properly wear a mask. Then those in power or elevated positions within the city and state governments started doing a new thing: “Good for thee, not for me!”. 

 

     We’ve also learned how to use teleconferencing as a daily chore since many of us had to social distance from others. We’ve “Zoomed” from home for work and school. We’ve “Skyped” our family and friends. We’ve texted pictures of our sad faces and heard our voices break on the phones in the name of the China virus. Some never got to say goodbye to loved ones who were quarantined to death as they were told it would be in the best interests of everyone. If anything was learned about ourselves, it is the fact that we, as human beings, are social creatures. Some more of a Hermit than others, but we all crave and desire companionship. We need to be seen and heard from time to time, face to face, and in person with society. We can’t lock ourselves away in hell because our mentality won’t be able to handle it. Remember the protests earlier back in April through June that was over the lockdowns? People were literally trying to get the government to listen to their pleas for freedom to work, providing for their families, and basically trying to survive the over-extended “15 days to slow the virus”. Remember that was being said we needed to do in the beginning.

 

     I guess the bonus for our troubles was when the BLM and Antifa started up their Bravo Sierra in the name of Justice. Honestly, in a lot of their cases, Justice revealed their excuses to riot was fake as many of those Hollywood celebrities who supported them. Remember when all these celebrities put a black square on their social media or clothing when they went out in public? Yeah, it didn’t help their situation or cause any either. In fact, I think many of these “Woke-ians” who stepped up eventually stepped out when the conservatives kept pointing out their hypocrisy. However, on the bright side, some of us did get paid in the name of Stimulus checks. While the rest of the world whose governments offered their citizens a stipend for existing during the “Plandemic”, the American people where just an after thought to those in congress who keep their lives going while everyone else is in lockdown. From going to the hair salon and boating on a lake, to eating out at expensive dinners and only letting certain rich box stores or companies have special opportunities over small mom and pop businesses. It revealed to us who the devils hiding in the details are. Again, Good enough for thee, but not for me.

 

     Well, without going over every step of the way from there to here, I won’t tell you what you already know and lived through. Who am I to tell you what you experienced when in fact, we each have done it in our own ways. For instance, I didn’t have to be locked up in my own home and could go out in my front yard as long as I wanted without having to wear a mask. Other people in other towns in the state didn’t get to do that because of their own mandates. Some people in other parts of the country had it worse than I did in Oklahoma. Reasoning behind that was supposed to be because of the spikes in China Virus cases in the region. In Southeast Oklahoma, we didn’t have to wear a mask in public, but right across the border in West Central Arkansas, they had to wear a mask or face a fine when in public. That was okay with me because I didn’t have to go there for anything since I don’t have a regular day gig or job. So I ended up staying home anyway simply because I didn’t have money to run around to do anything, even if there was a public place to hang out in other than Walmart.

 

      Now that we are in the third month of 2021, this is the first anniversary of the China Virus shutdown in the United States. We are able to see things from a much clearer lens. You know the old saying, “hindsight is 2020”. We definitely can see more clearer now that the fog of confusion has lifted. More and more people are seeing right through the propaganda that the likes of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, along with his wife, Melinda, and Dr Faucci. People are getting plain sick and tired of hearing how they should wear not only one mask, but two, take an untested vaccine (by that I mean it hasn’t gone through the proper time for testing before being released to the public as regulated by the Food and Drug Administration), and if that ain’t enough, China is encouraging everyone who travels into their country to have a swap inserted in their fourth point of contact. That’s right, get yourself an anal swab up your butt and you might get to enter into China without being quarantined. Well, thank the good Lord above, I won’t be going to China anytime in this lifetime.

 

     Even the Center for Disease Countrol and Prevention is saying a different tune, but more quietly. High body mass index and obesity found to be significant risk factors for COVID-19 hospitalization and death, particularly for those under 65 years old (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e4.htm). About 78% of people who were hospitalized, placed on a ventilator or died from COVID-19 were overweight or obese, a new report from the CDC shows. The findings show risk of severe COVID-19 illness rises sharply with elevated body mass index, especially for people younger than 65 years of age. 15 states have opened up vaccine eligibility for people who are considered obese or morbidly obese, making it lower on states’ priority list than some other risk factors, including age. Patients under 65 who were underweight had a 41% higher risk for hospitalization than those with a healthy weight. Obesity is a recognized risk factor for severe COVID-19, possibly related to chronic inflammation that disrupts immune and thrombogenic responses to pathogens as well as to impaired lung function from excess weight. Obesity is a common metabolic disease, affecting 42.4% of U.S. adults, and is a risk factor for other chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.† The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices considers obesity to be a high-risk medical condition for COVID-19 vaccine prioritization.

 

    Data for this study were obtained from PHD-SR, a large, hospital-based, all-payer database. Among the approximately 800 geographically dispersed U.S. hospitals that reported both inpatient and ED data to this database, 238 reported patient height and weight information and were selected for this study. The sample included patients aged at least 18 years with measured height and weight and an ED or inpatient encounter with an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (COVID-19, virus identified) during April 1–December 31, 2020, or B97.29 (other coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere; recommended before April 2020) during March 1–April 30, 2020. BMI was calculated using heights and weights measured during the health care encounter closest to the patient’s ED or hospital encounter for COVID-19 in the database. BMI was classified into the categories of those underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and experiencing obesity.

 

     However on a side note, and I don’t know how this got started, but the United States Food and Drug Administration warns against using head lice drug ivermectin to treat coronavirus (https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19). The Food and Drug Administration is warning Americans against using ivermectin, a drug that kills parasites, to treat COVID-19. “Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm,” the FDA said.  Ivermectin is used to treat head lice and some skin conditions like rosacea in humans, and is used to treat internal and external parasitic infections in animals. Some researchers have touted ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic, but the jury is still out on whether it is an effective treatment. Here’s what you need to know about Ivermectin is:

• FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).
• Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.
• If you have a prescription for ivermectin for an FDA-approved use, get it from a legitimate source and take it exactly as prescribed.
• Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans. 

 

     When it comes to wearing protection during the COVID-19 Era, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention released another update about Universal masking and avoiding nonessential indoor spaces are recommended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm). What is added by this report? Mandating masks was associated with a decrease in daily COVID-19 case and death growth rates within 20 days of implementation. Allowing on-premises restaurant dining was associated with an increase in daily COVID-19 case growth rates 41–100 days after implementation and an increase in daily death growth rates 61–100 days after implementation. Two outcomes were examined: the daily percentage point growth rate of county-level COVID-19 cases and county-level COVID-19 deaths. The daily growth rate was defined as the difference between the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on a given day and the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on the previous day, multiplied by 100. Data on cumulative county-level COVID-19 cases and deaths were collected from state and local health department websites and accessed through U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Protect. Associations between the policies and COVID-19 outcomes were measured using a reference period (1–20 days before implementation) compared with seven mutually exclusive time ranges relative to implementation (i.e., the effective date of the mask mandate or the date restaurants were permitted to allow on-premises dining). The association was examined over two pre-implementation periods (60–41 and 40–21 days before implementation) and five postimplementation periods (1–20, 21–40, 41–60, 61–80, and 81–100 days after implementation).

 

     Here’s the real kicker: During March 1–December 31, 2020, state-issued mask mandates applied in 2,313 (73.6%) of the 3,142 U.S. counties. Mask mandates were associated with a 0.5 percentage point decrease in daily COVID-19 case growth rates 1–20 days after implementation and decreases of 1.1, 1.5, 1.7, and 1.8 percentage points 21–40, 41–60, 61–80, and 81–100 days, respectively, after implementation. Mask mandates were associated with a 0.7 percentage point decrease in daily COVID-19 death growth rates 1–20 days after implementation and decreases of 1.0, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.9 percentage points 21–40, 41–60, 61–80, and 81–100 days, respectively, after implementation. Daily case and death growth rates before implementation of mask mandates were not statistically different from the reference period. During the study period, states allowed restaurants to reopen for on-premises dining in 3,076 (97.9%) U.S. counties. Changes in daily COVID-19 case and death growth rates were not statistically significant 1–20 and 21–40 days after restrictions were lifted. Allowing on-premises dining at restaurants was associated with 0.9, 1.2, and 1.1 percentage point increases in the case growth rate 41–60, 61–80, and 81–100 days, respectively, after restrictions were lifted. Allowing on-premises dining at restaurants was associated with 2.2 and 3.0 percentage point increases in the death growth rate 61–80 and 81–100 days, respectively, after restrictions were lifted. Daily death growth rates before restrictions were lifted were not statistically different from those during the reference period, whereas significant differences in daily case growth rates were observed 41–60 days before restrictions were lifted.

 

     However, the Mainstream Media has been on Spin Control trying to drive the narrative to prove that masks, social distancing, and other face protections worked as the states, Texas and Mississippi, have recently made moves to lift their mask mandates and other restrictions. This doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t wear masks if you feel you need to, but it shows you shouldn’t be shaming those who choose not to. Nor should you insult anyone who isn’t vaccinated if you already are. In the words of Hillary Clinton when asked about her actions during the Bengasi incident, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Well, if you wear a mask or took a vaccine, then why should it matter to you if the person standing six feet away from you isn’t wearing a mask? Some people are just never satisfied, nor can you please them. Most of those type of people have a chimp on their shoulder and just want the attention. I choose not to give them any my time or residency in my mind. This includes everyone from the average Jane and John Doe to those who sit high and mighty on their toilet paper thrones in Congress and White House. 

 

     Right now, Congress is about to send a bill to President Joe Biden to sign that is using the pandemic as an excuse to pay for a lot of things that have nothing to do with COVID-19. Yes, a lot of us are going to get another injection of stimulus cash, but it’s not enough in the ways that congress made it sound in the Mainstream Media. Something else I find interesting is that there are two bills in the House of Representatives right now that seem to make Washington D.C. to be going through some sort of transition. You know that the National Guard troops stay has been recently extended to about the middle of May 2021. The Capitol Building has a huge fence around it and is often referred as “Fort Pelosi” because Nancy Pelosi wants to have the protection for reasons that the American people don’t know (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9339257/Welcome-Fort-Pelosi-Rep-Lauren-Boebert-demands-Speaker-tear-wall-Capitol.html). Let us, together, ponder a radical sounding idea, What if…: the real reason for the National Guard and other security agencies along with the fence around Washington D.C. is partially in response to this?

 

     In the first bill, called H. R. 472, that was originally set up back in January after the this session started, it states: “To reduce the size of the seat of the Government of the United States to the area comprised of the principal Federal monuments, the White House, the United States Capitol, the United States Supreme Court Building, and the Federal executive, legislative, and judicial office buildings located adjacent to the Mall and the United States Capitol, to provide for the retrocession of the remaining area of the District of Columbia to the State of Maryland, and for other purposes” (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/472/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr+71%22%5D%7D&r=11&s=1). In particular, if you go read it, pay strict attention to SEC. 3. Retrocession of District of Columbia to Maryland.

 

     In a second bill, titled as H. R. 51, it’s purpose is to provide for the admission of the State of Washington, D.C. into the Union (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/51/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr+71%22%5D%7D&r=15&s=1). This one is a real doozy too. In SEC. 101, called “Admission into the Union”, states that:

• “(a) In general.—Subject to the provisions of this Act, upon the issuance of the proclamation required by section 103(a), the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth is declared to be a State of the United States of America, and is declared admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the other States in all respects whatever.
• (b) Constitution of State.—The State Constitution shall always be republican in form and shall not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States or the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
• (c) Nonseverability.—If any provision of this section, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Act and any amendments made by this Act shall be treated as invalid.”

 

Oh, it gets more interesting in SEC. 102. “Election of Senators and Representative”, it’s an issuance of proclamation:

• “(1) IN GENERAL — Not more than 30 days after receiving certification of the enactment of this Act from the President pursuant to section 403, the Mayor shall issue a proclamation for the first elections for 2 Senators and one Representative in Congress from the State, subject to the provisions of this section.
• (2) SPECIAL RULE FOR ELECTIONS OF SENATORS— In the elections of Senators from the State pursuant to paragraph (1), the 2 Senate offices shall be separately identified and designated, and no person may be a candidate for both offices. No such identification or designation of either of the offices shall refer to or be taken to refer to the terms of such offices, or in any way impair the privilege of the Senate to determine the class to which each of the Senators shall be assigned.”

 

     This, my friends, is why I don’t trust what the new Administration is telling us, or in this case, NOT telling us. Seems to me they have plans on restructuring Washington D.C. and returning some of the property back to it’s original owners, the state of Maryland. That is why I believe that Nancy Pelosi is keeping the National Guard, among other security agencies, in and around the Capitol Building and why all the mysterious actions going on around the government. This is not a tin-foil hat situation or conspiracy, this is just one of the many questions I have. Like why hasn’t Joe Biden done a “State of the Union” yet? Or how about any kind of press conference where he answers the press’s questions? These and many others I have are yet to be answered or tried to convince the American people there isn’t another agenda at play going on here. I guess we’ll have to do, as they say in broadcasting: “Stay Tuned…”

 

     Sad to see that so many of my “friends” who talked tough on social media about politics and agendas that they are all for, but turn out to be real [MEOW!] when it comes to Common Sense. States have rights. If the people vote for something or demand to be heard, it is the job of the elected officials to act on it. So what if the people vote / demand to open their state 100%, so be it. We need this economy to run for people to be able to work, make money, and provide for their families. I personally am sick and damn tired of not getting hired at most jobs I have applied for because they choose to use covid-19 as an excuse. Some people use it as a power trip. As much as I would love to have that stimulus that Congress keeps kicking back and forth, I would very much prefer to be working again. I got bills that need to be caught up on, a car that needs to be fixed so I can travel to another town to find work, and a daughter I would love to see at her university. A lot of people got to keep their jobs through covid-19 and my hat is off to them for being able to do that. They are lucky, but not everybody got that way. So my hat is off to Texas (https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2021/03/02/abbott-hints-at-exciting-news-tuesday-that-could-include-rollback-of-texas-covid-19-restrictions/) and Mississippi (https://www.klfy.com/health/coronavirus/mississippi-eliminates-mask-mandate-and-covid-restrictions-on-businesses/). I will be back down that way as soon as I can.

 

     I’ll say this too, I think the war on women is coming out of the trenches and in your face. Feminists are hiding or else they would be out in full force trying to stop men from jumping into their sports, or pretty much trying to push them out of their own gender. Why would any woman who is in the sports world allow this sort of thing to happen? Perhaps it’s out of fear of being in trouble with the cancel culture. Right now, I would say more than ever, women need Rosie the Riveter (https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/rosie-the-riveter). If you don’t know who she is, then you should go do your own research on her. I’ll give you a quick description: Rosie the Riveter was the icon of a campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II, and she became perhaps the most iconic image of working women. American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers during the war, as widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home. Based in small part on a real-life munitions worker, but primarily a fictitious character, the strong, bandanna-clad Rosie became one of the most successful recruitment tools in American history, and the most iconic image of working women in the World War II era.

 

     In my opinion, and I know that’s not much because I’m just a man, Rosie has been forgotten. And as a far cry of what she was meant to be, I think that her mentality and stubborness is needed in sports now. Women should be standing up against having boys or men in their sports simply because they are built differently than men. Science proves this. Biology, being a science, one would think it would be followed thoroughly when it comes to men competing in women’s sports, vice-versa. Biology, by definition, is the study of life (https://www.britannica.com/science/biology). And I’ll throw another opinion at you while I still can here in America, men who compete in women’s sports mostly do it because they can’t do anything in men’s sports. I know that’s going to get some of my so-called “friends” riled up, but think about it. Now if the male who identifies as a female actually goes through the entire operation, surgeries, and treatments to completely switch genders, then perhaps that makes it more fair. That includes cutting off your damn wiener (uh you too, Kaitlyn Jenner – https://www.britannica.com/biography/Caitlyn-Jenner).

 

     Why is it considered fair for a young high-school girl who has competed most of her teenage life to have to lose on winning a scholarship because a boy beats her at a woman’s game or event just because he “identifies” as the opposite sex? In other words, why is it fair that a boy wins a scholarship when he plays a woman sport? Why don’t we just open up a transgender Sports League or maybe we just need to combine all sports leagues together? Now before you point your righteous finger at me, I’m all for women playing on men’s sports teams if that’s really what they want to do. If they understand the consequences, then they should do it. However, I’m sure the males will not like it if the female got the scholarship instead of the male. Some guys might even consider that embarrassing that they were beat by a girl. That’s not getting talked about either. However, when it comes to things like the UFC or wrestling, or any other physical contact sport, this really needs to be kept in mind. It was a story not long ago about a woman in the UFC who had her head cracked open by a biological male who identified as a female (https://thepostmillennial.com/biological-male-who-broke-a-womans-skull-named-bravest-athlete-in-history). That does not need to happen, but you will not see the woke Army go after this.

 

     In total transparency, I am not a sports fan. But I do find it heartbreaking when a woman gets beat up by a biological male. If the “woke” clan will go after a plastic toy in the name of gender crisis (https://apnews.com/article/mr-potato-head-goes-gender-neutral-d3c178f2b9b0c424ed814657be41a9d8), hassle a children’s book author and publisher in the name of racial insensitivity (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/books/dr-seuss-mulberry-street.html), then why will the “woke” finatics not go after the a biological man beating on a woman? Where is the me-too movement on this? I remember just a few years ago that when judge Kavanaugh was being interrogated by the me-too movement and the media about these women who were coming up saying he improperly acted upon them, but was later proven it was all a bunch of BS. The main narrative during all that was “the women had to be believed” at all cost (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/27/brett-kavanaugh-allegations-sexual-misconduct-complete-list/). It was an extreme way of protecting the women, but they were being protected. Where is the me-too movement right now? And I also ask again, where are all the feminists? Even the extreme ones? That’s why I say bring out Rosie the Riveter. She would know what to do!

 

    No, a mother can’t find or buy six books from Dr Seuss on Ebay (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ebay-dr-seuss-books-listings-removed) for her children because they have been deemed as racially insensitive, but she can still get “7 Speeches” by Louis Farrakhan on Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=louis+farrakhan+books&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=louis+farrakhan) and on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/7-Speeches-Minister-Louis-Farrakhan/dp/B000H36810). I’m sure Feminist would appreciate what he thinks about women in his past in “The Black Woman”. We all heard about or watched him speak about his hatred toward Jews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC9mlc-aTIY). And for some reason, we won’t hear or see anyone from the Left, Marxist, or Social Communists ban Louis Farrakhan for his actions either. This goes back, in part, to what I was talking about last week about trying to silence any Conservative thoughts, ideals, or views. 

 

     And as for the guys who get offended by my opinion, you’re part of the problem. You should stand up also. What if it was your daughter who trained / worked so hard for that scholarship only to be beaten out by a biological boy? Can you afford her 2-4 years of College? If you can, then let me know because I would like to have your job. You can call me hateful, you can call me you racist, a bigot, I don’t give a rat’s @$$ what you call me. But as a father of two amazing daughters, this is a bit touchy to me. If you really think it’s that much important issue to let your son beat out girls in an all female’s sport or event, then perhaps you should have had been a better male role model in his life. Because I was raised to never hurt a woman unless I was defending myself as the last option.

 

     It’s time to use a little common sense before we drive each other completely in opposite directions. I’m all for equality, but let’s follow the science on this just like on covid-19. If we have to follow the science on one, we need to follow the science on the other. Biology is science. Science proves biology. We need to quit making science only matter when we have an agenda to push. This isn’t about not wanting to have boys in the same bathroom as girls, although it does follow that same logic. This is about simple science. The one damn thing that we all get rammed down our throats courtesy of the mainstream media. Science, science, science. If half of the people who are so ate up with “the science”, of things, then why aren’t they seeing how simple this really is? Again I ask, where are the feminists? Where is the me-too movement? I would like to see feminist parades marching up and down the streets over this. It would definitely be a better sight to see and a lot more calmer than what the BLM or antifa is doing in the major cities. We really need to have this discussion over a little bit of science.

 

     Is it just me or does the president of the United States, Joe Biden,still seem to be not completely coherent? I’m not trying to sound mean, but is there a been much speculation before the election while he was campaigning that we might see him, more like his mental capabilities, start to degrade. There seems to be a bit of confusion in his mind whenever he goes out in public and he’s asked a question or he has to give a small speech. It seems odd to me that he also hasn’t been asked to do a State of the Union Address, which usually happens in the month of February. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hasn’t invited him in and I don’t think we’re going to have a State of the Union Address. As I was watching CPAC this past Sunday (https://cpac.conservative.org/), I watched the former President Trump give a speech that seemed more like a State of the Union Address than a political motivator. Although even hinted that he might make a return in 2024, I think he would be ready now to resume the position as commander-in-chief if things didn’t work out for Democratic president Joe Biden. Yeah I know that may sound crazy, but it’s just something I picked up by watching and listening to what former President Donald Trump said.

 

     Joe Biden hasn’t really been giving press conferences like his predecessors do, Joe Biden also hasn’t been doing his public appearances like many other newly elected presidents do, but it seems like somebody in the background is pulling strings to make things happen. Joe Biden is also signed many executive orders, more than his predecessors did in their first hundred days. Joe Biden has been in office for about a month-and-a-half and he’s already put us back into a conflict by bombing Syria, he’s killed a lot of energy jobs, and he’s made deals with organizations from around the world that put us back In harm’s way, someone say.

 

     If you were to ask me, I think Kamala Harris, who is vice president now, is sort of running some game plan and Joe Biden is a player. And if she’s not pulling the strings, then that would make you want to believe that Nancy Pelosi is. Granted it’s often said and thought that it’s better to be the power behind the throne, or perhaps a brain trust. Being Speaker of the House that Nancy Pelosi is, it would would be easy to make suggestions to the commander and chief, especially if they’re on the same political party is you. Perhaps it might be easier if you had the persuasion of the Vice President as Kamala Harris can do.

 

     Either way it would be hard for Joe Biden to say no since his mental capabilities seems to be diminishing and that may be why we don’t see him doing very many of these press conferences, giving these speeches in public, or very many public appearances at all. Either way it would be hard for Joe Biden to say so since his mental capabilities seems to be diminishing and that may be why we don’t see him at these press conferences, giving these speeches in public, or very many public appearances at all. He was really needed, especially any form of leadership from his administration, down in Texas when the big freeze was going on and people were cold, without supplies, didn’t have water, or any other resources needed to endure the cold weather. It was a freak of winter weather that came down all the way to South Texas that froze a lot of pipes, ran up a lot of energy bills, and hurt many of the industries down there. Joe Biden, and in what some would call his Katrina moment, didn’t go down there to lead during that time. Instead, he went down there later for a short couple of stops (https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/state/2021/02/26/joe-biden-houston-visit-storm-damage-covid-19-vaccine-rollout/6823662002/). Yes I understand that Governor Greg Abbott is in charge, but Joe Biden didn’t go down even make an appearance for in front of the media showing that he was aware of the situation until after the fact in a very low capacity. It’s little things like that that make me think maybe President Joe Biden is on his way out already. Even his own people are starting to question why he’s even there in the White house.

 

     It isn’t my opinion, that if Joe Biden is to continue being president, he’s going to have to put forth a lot more effort into being seen as less a dictator with constantly signing executive orders that put Americans out of work, bringing in illegal aliens, and forgetting about every policy set in place by the previous administration. He preaches Unity and compassion, but his actions, along with his agenda, seems to conflict with that. As long as he is letting and encouraging foreigners to break through the borders, it’s going to increase tensions in a time where everyone is already about to snap. People are already dying in mass who are coming from Mexico across the southern border (https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-suv-carrying-19-suspected-illegal-immigrants-erupts-in-flames-near-border-cbp-gives-details-of-mass-casualty-crash). Several vehicles that are packed with way more people allowed are crashing through the southern border patrol stops and killing themselves in the process by smashing into other vehicles. To date, almost 30 people were killed trying to cross the border during these events. It’s absolutely insane and yet this administration says “stop”. Just like what happened with all the BLM and Antifa riots last year. They stand in silence. Where is the leadership this country needs?

 

     I guess the bright side is that a bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday introduced legislation seeking to rein in war powers from President Joe Biden by repealing two decades-old military authorizations (https://www.dailywire.com/news/bipartisan-group-of-senators-seek-to-strip-biden-of-certain-war-powers). The move comes on the heels of Joe Biden’s military air strike in Syria on last Thursday (2/25) night without first seeking congressional approval (https://apnews.com/article/us-syria-airstrike-kills-1-34b4d7ac56fa8d0d2db8dc2ec8e921d6). The legislation introduced from Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Todd Young (R-IN) “would repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations that cleared the way for a prolonged military conflict in Iraq, culminating in calls from Democrats and Republicans alike to end the so-called ‘forever wars’ in the region”. Senator Kaine emphasized Congress’ responsibility in relation to war efforts by saying, “last week’s airstrikes in Syria show that the executive branch, regardless of party, will continue to stretch its war powers” Congress has a responsibility to not only vote to authorize new military action, but to repeal old authorizations that are no longer necessary.”
