America Is Gone

I could swear I’ve heard Donald Trump say “America Will Never Be A Socialist Country”. Well, here we are. The Government is propping up all the businesses in the private sector. The government is guaranteeing a living wage to the unemployed. The government is promising to put every American on its payroll, at least temporarily. The government is setting all the social guidelines, when you can go out, how close you can be to other people, what businesses can be open, some places even have curfews.

I’m sorry, but if this isn’t Socialism, I don’t know what is. This “Virus” is Bernie Sanders’ dream come true. Trump has finally been completely duped by the Democrats.

Guess what country whose ass we are going to have to kiss and be even more in debt to, after these massive spending plans come to fruition. You got it; China… the very same country that got us into this mess to begin with.

Socialism is in the USA – Just Like That!

I would like to know why this political appointee Dr. Faucci has become the only adviser as to what Americans should or shouldn’t be doing with regard to the CoronaVirus. Just because this guy has been employed by The White House for thirty years, does not mean he is the smartest guy to get all our health advice and guidelines from. Shouldn’t we get a second opinion?

This Dr. Faucci seems to be enjoying a little too much, all this news coverage that is, at the very least, driving Americans into full blown panic mode. When I used to see someone wearing a facemask in public, I used to kind of snicker to myself that they are paranoid. Now when I see someone wearing one, I am the one that’s paranoid. 

This kind of fear and paranoia are precisely what Socialism thrives on. Anyone who can’t see the massive Socialist experiment that is happening before us needs a cane and Braille translation. Massive government interventions are happening at every level of government, all supposedly for “our own good”.

Fear and panic are the fuel that fans these flames, and if allowed to overtake our souls, we will become the next Venezuelan experiment to fail!

Covid-19 craze

How do we even know how truly significant this CoronaVirus is? Scott Shellaby, otherwise known as “The Cow Guy” a trader The New York Stock Exchange articulated it very succinctly this morning. “We have nothing to compare it to,” he said. Where are the statistics on all the other pathogens that infect Americans every year? Why are we not rigorously testing for Influenza like this virus?

How do we know that this isn’t just a minor virus with a whole lot more attention being drawn to it in a presidential election year? Why was there not nearly the same attention given to H1-N1 or Swine Flu? The mortality rates for the Swine Flu were higher than this one to date according to the CDC. Also according to the CDC, “From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases, 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths in the United States due to the (H1N1) pdm09 virus.”

 During this 2009 pandemic did the main stream media report hysterically every minute and drive people in fear to hoard food? Were we testing people for the virus? Did people stop working and hide in their houses? NO!

 The crazed media has The President, and everyone else chasing ghosts with a fly swatter. This virus is no different than any other pathogen. It comes and goes, predominantly in the winter months. 

The Federal Government or local governments, for that matter can’t force people to “stay home for the good of the rest of society” without being able to accurately target those who pose a danger to society. What has the media driven us to, a society subservient to the government like Russia?

 Last I checked this is America, a free country, where The Government is supposed to be subservient to the will of the people. There is a process for this kind of thing; first the threat is identified, isolated, and then Marshall Law must be declared to keep those that are infected from contaminating others, while the threat is being neutralized.

None of these guidelines have been adhered to prior to The Federal and local Government’s requesting people to “shelter in place”. They have the whole thing backwards; keeping healthy people at home to keep the sick ones from infecting them!

COVID-19 Vaccine

I keep hearing talk that a vaccine for the Corona Virus could be months out before it can be approved by the F.D.A. Wouldn’t the “Right to Try” law prevail here? If this virus has even one fatality, then anyone who fears for their life should have the opportunity to have any experimental vaccine tested on them, therefore bypassing the F.D.A’s cumbersome approval process.

 The biggest problem with this virus is the blanket media frenzy to put the entire country into panic mode. Do the math: There are 327 million people in the USA and 3,200 people have the virus. That is 0.00000978593 of the American population – way less than 1%. In real terms, if you were in Miami at the stadium watching The Super Bowl in a packed house, one or possibly two people might test positive for the virus. More than a thousand times the reported deaths every year are caused by Influenza, not the Corona Virus. 

The Liberal Media outlets that are intentionally spreading this panic need to be fined for this behavior. “Freedom of speech” does not mean you can run into a movie theatre and yell “FIRE!!! 

If The White House should do anything, it should be to set a national standard for what percentage of infected persons actually qualifies as a “Pandemic”. The fact that this Corona Virus has not been previously identified does not mean that it hasn’t existed before in humans, in fact, this could just be a name being labeled to what most people consider “The Common Cold”.

This, I believe, is a typical tactic used by Democrats, and their complicit media, to exaggerate the incident, cause fear, and panic to divide and conquer to gain public favor in the upcoming presidential election in November. This of course is a huge gamble, but look at the history of attempts to bring down this president. So far all huge gambles, and so far all have ended in utter despair. 

Any reasonable person should see this for what it is. The idea that this viral infection means certain death for those who contract it is simply propaganda that is being spread to forward some other agenda, and based on history, most likely The Democratic Party. 

During his entire term, Liberals have accused President Trump of being a “Protectionist”. I would like to remind the skeptics that it is “Globalist” and “Open Border” policies like those of The Obama Administration that are responsible for exactly this scenario. The resulting economic collapses and social chaos are an inevitable bi-product of those types of policies, simply because they are too reliant upon global stability. This is an unmitigable circumstance for any one country to have control of. If anything is to be learned from this so-called “Pandemic” it is that this country needs more “Protectionism” not less.

Corona Virus Politicization

All the Liberal news networks are trying to peg this virus’s implications to the population on the Trump Administration’s ability to nail it down before it becomes a pandemic. These buffoons are missing the point completely. The truth is that previous administration’s corporate tax policy and out of control unions have forced the pharmaceutical industry to outsource all the manufacturing to China. These self righteous Democrats have done nothing to curb the fact that slave and child labor in China has been an acceptable way for this country to profit, as opposed to manufacturing goods here.

Particularly most of the medications that keep us alive! Now these idiots act as if it is a huge surprise that we are caught with our pants down when it comes to helping those who need those same medicines to keep from dying. Now you have people like Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden wanting to put our government in charge of all our health care. Did anyone in government not anticipate that allowing a Communist country to take over the responsibility of manufacturing all of our most essential medications like blood pressure and antibiotic medications, that there was no chance of that coming back to bite us in the ass at some point?

Not only is China responsible for creating this disease, but now America is dependent on them to supply the medicines necessary to treat the illness. This is akin to going to war, and relying on the enemy to supply us with the weapons to fight back with. I am so astounded with the irony here that I can’t even describe it.

Coronavirus Hysterics

The real pandemic regarding The Coronavirus is the panic being induced by Democrats. This is a fairly benign virus with a low mortality rate, but if you believe The Democrat’s rhetoric, you would think its The Black Plague all over again. Both Schumer and Pelosi made statements intending to cause a panic among the general public stating that President Trump wasn’t allocating enough tax payer money to combat the disease.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States the top leading cause of death in 2019 in the USA are as follows:

  • Heart disease: 647,457
  • Cancer: 599,108
  • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
  • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
  • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
  • Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
  • Diabetes: 83,564
  • Influenza and pneumonia: 55,672
  • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,633
  • Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173
  • Gun Deaths 15,292

 To date, one person has died from the coronavirus in the United States. So we really need to keep things in prospective.

 Worldwide there are 85,000 cases, but the U.S. has only 60 cases. These 60 cases, I believe, are a result of those who have either been brought here for treatment, or travelled here before the travel restriction from China.

 Does anyone besides myself, notice that the countries with the worst outbreaks are the ones with socialized medicine?

Socialist Sanders Medicare for All

Does everyone in America have mass amnesia? In last night’s Democratic debate there was a brief exchange between Butigiege and Sanders, both of which are competing for virtually the same proposals of Medicare for all. In the exchange, Mayor Pete asked Bernie about how increasing taxes would hurt average Americans in order to pay for his Medicare for all. Bernie replied that the people would pay more taxes, but would save money because they wouldn’t have the insurance bills to pay. He was implying that the tax bill would be lower than the insurance premiums. First of all, this is the same rhetoric that President Obama tried to get us to swallow just eight years ago. 

My response to last night’s insanity proposal is the same now as it was then; What about the millions of people aged between eighteen and thirty-five that don’t have, need, or even want health insurance? What will offset their tax bill? These folks don’t pay insurance premiums to begin with, and the ones that do were paying far lower premiums before Obamacare was implemented. It’s the same old same old, Socialist model that Obama shoved down everyone’s throat. Give everyone who doesn’t work anyhow, expensive government run health insurance, while kneeling on the backs of those who work, are forced by law to pay for it, and don’t want, or need it. Of course the small minority of uninsured people who want insurance, but can’t afford it, love the idea!

Other aspects of the debate included Joe Biden counting out loud, how many ways that taxes can be raised on everything from capital gains, corporate income and higher tax brackets, all of which to be used to bring back, and expand Obamacare. Bernie Sanders also used the term “Democratic Socialist” a few times. This term originated in the nineteen thirties as a profanity by Adolf Hitler to deter the opposing Socialist Party from rejecting his Nationalist Socialist agenda. There is no such thing as Democratic Socialism! The two terms are totally contradictory in their meaning. Bernie’s other offensive remark was that we have a lot of Socialist programs now, so what’s the big deal. 

Elizabeth Warren basically was saying the same thing as Sanders, just with a little Joe Biden and bleeding heart slant on the justifications for the raising of everyone’s taxes. Klobuchar and Bloomberg, just as they were positioned physically on the stage, served as bookends or backstops for the shots being lobbed at them from the other candidates. Bloomberg taking the brunt of which, however, and rightfully so, given the baggage he carries with him.

Attorney General William Barr Controversy

Rumor has it that a thousand judges, I can assume they are all Democrats, have signed a petition forAttorney General William Barr to step down. This is all because Barr agreed to a judge’s decision reversal about the sentencing recommendation reduction from nine years of prison time for Roger Stone, a long time associate of President Trump, which would probably have him die of old age in the correctional facility.

The whole Democrat dumpster fire started because President Trump tweeted that he was dissatisfied with the decision. This, however, happened after the judge presiding over the case flip flopped a couple times and before Barr or The President even weighed in, publicly about the issue, but as usual the Democrats and their media servants are so hungry for some red meat that can be used against The Trump Administration, that they flew off the handle and jumped to conclusions, and aired them on primetime, before knowing the actual facts and timelines of the situation. 

I suggest that The Trump Administration keep track of the names of these judges and seek to have them thrown off the bench. Any judge that is willing to make a predisposed decision before the facts are laid out before them has no business occupying the position. I feel sorry for the poor bastards that are being tried in courtrooms before these hacks, no matter what the political affiliation, and forget about it if these judges already know that the person is a Republican.

The Democrats keep hammering it home that nobody is above the law. The problem is, as an example, that The Speaker of The House of Representatives can commit a class b felony by tearing up an official document that is destined for The Library of Congress, in front of millions of witnesses, but not tickets are written, no charges filed. This country has a huge problem when political theater is exempt from legal ramifications, never mind the double standards for these treasonous Democrats that are supposedly public servants.

 Any American has to be extremely concerned about these obvious miscarriages of justice regardless of political affiliation, unless they are living under a rock. To condone this stuff is like betting on a race horse, knowing damn well it’s on steroids or a boxing match where one guy has lead weights in his gloves, and profiting from the results.

 I don’t care how devoted someone is to a political affiliation, there is right and there is wrong no gray area with this stuff. Has this country got to a point where winning is all that matters? No matter how rigged the contest? Would it be okay if The Chiefs won The Super Bowl because they had a copy of The Forty Niner’s play book?

Mike Bloomberg as the Democratic Nominee

Mike Bloomberg would probably be a pretty good prospect for The Democratic Party as the nominee if it weren’t for two things: The first and biggest problem is that he thinks that the system is so corrupt that he can just buy the nomination. The second and pretty ugly truth is that through all his corrupt actions in the past, as mayor of New York City, he drags a ton of baggage with him.

Does anyone remember that as mayor, Mike Bloomberg changed the law that stood for at least a century, that instead of serving the standard two terms as mayor; he decided that he was deserving of three terms, and he changed the law to make it so. Needless to say, at the time, this infuriated both Democrats and Republicans.

There were some candidates that were looking forward before that happened, to run for mayor, and unseat him. So, the policies like “stop and frisk” and the targeting of predominantly poor black neighborhoods are really small potatoes in comparison to this dictatorship move.

 The other problem is that Bloomberg is apologizing for what successfully reduced violent crime in the city by seventy percent. All just to appease those voters on the left that if not for anything would find some identity political thing wrong no matter what someone does, less so with Democrats, but there’s no getting away from that. His flip flopping is so obvious. 

Trump may be a lot of things, but at least he, if nothing else, is principled. Bloomberg also boasts of creating five hundred thousand jobs, but in a city of twenty million, that isn’t a very high percentage. I’m sure if someone was to do some research about Donald Trump, as a businessman created far more, and comparatively many more of those jobs went to minorities in construction not in the financial sector of Wall Street, like Bloomberg.

The ‘Good’ Kind of Socialism

As Bernie Sanders gains traction, in the preliminary stages, a new narrative seems to be emerging from The Democratic Party. The narrative is “when Bernie talks about Socialism, it’s not the bad kind”, like Cuba or Venezuela. That’s like saying “while I do have cancer” it’s not the bad kind.

 Adolf Hitler started The Nationalist Socialist Party with all the best intentions and with great success at first, especially for the working class. This is the very same working class of people who Bernie Sanders espouses to want to help. Unfortunately, like all well intended Socialists, something inevitably goes very very wrong with the whole thing. The whole premise of creating an equal living wage doesn’t sit well with those that simply put, are more capable or smarter than others. In a Democracy those individuals are revered and rewarded and usually it is to the benefit of the rest of society.

 In a Socialist Society, the playing field is leveled, so those more capable are stifled with the lack of financial incentive creating jealousy, and greed, from the very top of society all the way down to the lowest wage earner. Acts like bribery thrive in that environment, and as the government tries harder and harder to maintain order, it resorts to more violent and restrictive measures for containment.

The same inevitable outcome has been repeated several times throughout history, so don’t take my word for it alone. Germany, Italy, Cuba, Russia, and Venezuela have all tried and failed to make it work, and they worked very hard at it all ending with failure. Crime spikes in the Socialist environment like mold in damp dark places, as those who feel they are more deserving try to achieve a better life through illegitimate means. The whole idea is flawed. It may function in small communities, cut off from the rest of the globe, but with trans-global trade, and boundless financial opportunity, the idea fails miserably.

There is no “good kind of Socialism” it’s all bad, just like Cancer and S.T.D.s.
