Relics from the Long forgotten past....

 Thank you to every one for their comments of condolences of us loosing "goofy", they were much appreciated.

Well we were in Puerto Rico and I saw something in the bakery where I was getting really good coffee..

    Yeah I was trying to wake up so I asked for a "Coffee Grande" and that is what I got, Man my heartbeat sped up just sniffing it, LOL   It was GOOD but anyway I saw this on the wall..

  Well anyway I saw those relics from a long forgotten past....lol

   Then I saw this on St Thomas USVI(U.S. Virgin Islands)

   I had a lot of "Post with my many opinions on masking...all bad, I hated the damm things" and I mocked the "CovidKarens"  incessently.   What prompted this post was that I found this.

 while cleaning out my F150 A..K.A ' The Precious" or my stand, or my work platform or whatever I use her for.

    YES, My "Essential Worker Letter", I had in the truck back in the scary old days of yore when the CDC was trying to scare the crap out of people in preparation to screwing President Trump over to supporting their Political Masters the Democrats. when they finally rolled out the "mail in ballots" and flooded in the voting in stations with fake ballots supporting that dottering old meat puppet that presently resides in the white house.  I wonder what they will roll out in 2024 because there is another election and I keep hearing of "another variant" and Phiszer" and the other big pharma companies are rolling out the booster shots ads big time trying to drum up the fear and demand for their product....again.   I didn't take the initial and I sure will not take anything this time.   It will be interesting to see how it plays out the next coming months..

I'm just tired and I don't want to talk about it any more.....

   There is soo much going on in the world right now, and there is soo much that I want to say

We have rumblings of Putin invading the Ukraine and adding "The Breadbasket" to Mother Russia, and our "Betters" are pushing sanctions and other things and beating the drums of war, talking about committing troops and I am horrified, I am an Army Cold War Veteran, I was part of VII Corp in Southern Germany and I also went to the Persian Gulf as part of Desert Storm, so as they say "I smelled the smoke and saw the elephant" That isn't what concern me, I was part of a highly trained green machine that had all the branches of the services that were well equipped and highly trained in warfighting, now the Army and the Military in General has newer equipment and in a lot of cases, better equipment, but the leadership flatout sucks, they are more concerned about "Diversity and Inclusion" then warfighting skills, whereas our near peer enemies don't have that problem and we will get our asses handed to us.  Our troops are fragmented, the ones that believe in this country are forced to either get vaxxed or get out, and the ones that stay in are the ones that will be ideologically pure to the left in this country, but they can't fight worth a crap, but by God they check off all the boxes.  And our "Betters" that are pushing for a confrontation, it won't be their kids fighting and dying, it will be "Flyover Countries" kids fighting and dying.  Our"betters" have no skin in the game unless the payouts they have in any Ukraine companies *Cough*Hack* Hunter Biden's  Gas Company sponsorship*Cough*Cough*. If there is a fight, we will have China watching and

either getting ready to carve up Taiwan or they will while we are embroiled in the Ukraine dealing with Russia.  They will be studying how we fight and figuring out countermeasures  and right now I don't have faith in the leadership military, Civilian, and political to do whats is in the best interest of our country, but I am too tired....

Meanwhile Stacy Abrams announced her plan to run again for Governor of Georgia, she narrowly was defeated in 2018, but then she was instrumental in getting both Georgia Senators democrats by her political organizations and harvesting the votes.  I am concerned, Brian Kemp is the present governor of Georgia, he did a good job overall of running Georgia especially during the pandemic, but he blew off President Trump and the  another candidate, the defeated senator Perdue whom former President Trump has endorsed is going to try to primary him.  This is a mess, Kemp has the support of the never Trumpers, and if he defeats Perdue, the GOP that supports President Trump will be lukewarm at best about supporting Kemp making it easier for Abrams to win, especially with the democrats proclivity of "finding the Votes"

 it is a real possibility my state will go democrat and that is a real concern, and unfortunately moving is not an option for a few years because of my and the spousal units job..But I am too tired....

    We have the latest variant to hit the shores, and of course the "CovidKarens" are shrieking in fear demanding more "masks" and more "lockdowns" and of course certain countries have gone total totalitarianism, like Australia, that is sending their infected citizens to "Covid Camps",

 

 and in Europe the Austrians, Germans and Italians have locked their unvaccinated citizens in their homes and fining them if they are caught outside, and if you are outside you better have either an app that shows your vaccine status or "your papers"

    I remember version 1.0 of this stuff where the undesirables and others were shoved into camps after being stripped of their rights as citizens, had their property seized by the state and millions killed and I keep wondering how the people today don't see it.  I know that the people in Germany in 1938 were blind to history, but we know what happened and we are careening down that same road again, I keep trying to explain what is going to happen if they keep pushing, but the people pushing are on a mission, you can see it to get  "everyone Vaxxed"...For our own good mind you and they don't understand what lies down that road when they strip a persons freedom and autonomy from them and say "You must obey or else".   But I am too tired.....

   Meanwhile we have the Grinch Dr Fauci himself telling everyone that they must get the boosters or "They don't get Christmas", now this is the problem, Fauci who is the face of "Our Betters" have decreed that we must get boosters to have our freedom back...well this is the problem sport...our freedom were given to us as a gift from God, not the State or a bureaucratic hack, and what the state don't give, the state can't take, but unfortunately so many people who don't know any better because of the abysmal education system in this country gave our sovereignty to the state, that which was a gift from God, many surrendered to government hacks and now they go hat in hand and beg for crumbs of their former freedom back from these same hacks.  I am ashamed of my countryman....how the mighty have fallen......but I am too tired.

Meanwhile these mandates have been a boon for certain companies, I normally don't have an issue with any companies making money the honest way, Adam Smith was adamant about the "flow of commerce", but what is going on here is government interference in the market by demanding that we take and "accept" a vaccine that isn't really a vaccine.  Now if someone wants to take "The Jab" , fine have at it, you have to judge the pro and cons of the "jab" and decide if it is right for you...or not.  The Individual is the most important person in this, the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution are Individual rights, given by our creator and the governments job is to make sure that it isn't interfered with, but instead, you have the same people that scream "My womb, My choice" are trying to force me to accept "the Jab", all in the name of "Safety."  They can't have it both ways, you are either free or you ain't.  And these companies that are profiting are making a killing, just so happen that a lot of congressmen own stock in them...But I am too tired to explain to these people.......

Meanwhile the mandates about "vaccines" from the Usurpers administration keeps getting knocked down by the court system, and I hope this continues...I have filed for exemptions because I don't want to take the jab, I have had Covid 2 times now, I am having to fill out a petition at work for a waiver not to have to take the "Vaccine", at my place of employment, I have a job that pays exceeding well and I have to worry about losing that job because I am standing up on my principles on "Who Owns You" I am concerned despite the court order telling the Xiden administration that they overreached, he is telling companies to proceed anyway and most of them are proceeding despite the court order.  What is going on? why are all these companies rolling over and showing their bellies to the Xiden administration.  Does anybody have a spine anymore? 

I want to tell people to stand up....but I am tired of screaming into the wilderness......Just tired.

     Meanwhile "Our Betters" are totally tone deaf, Xiden picked the most incompetent people in D.C on the Potomac for his administration, they have no clue how regular people live, they are so insulated in their blue bubble around D.C they have no concept or worse they don't care what happens to the American people and this is criminal.  All they care is how much they get from the federal trough as they stick their nose in as they parrot "Da Narrative", and whatever the narrative is to the modern left and it totally disgust me.  I wish there was a way to cleanse the place, and replace the people with people that actually want to serve, rather than try to enrich themselves art the expense of the American people and worse try to start up a near feudal society with them as "Gentry" and us as Serfs or Kulaks where we know our place and tug on our forelock and bow down to our master as they walk by, this is the dream that they have, but it is not the dream that I have and it is totally diametrically opposed....and if this continues...there will be collision of dreams and this will not end well, ...but I am soo tired of trying to explain to people that don't want to listen what the cost will be....

Meanwhile in Waukesha Wisconsin a Mr. Brooks decided to run through a Christmas parade and killed 6 people and wounded 50+ others, he was given a really low bail for running over the mom of his kid a couple of weeks earlier, and he had had many run ins with the law, and he kept getting chances and more chances and rather than staying in prison where he belonged, he kept getting released into the street.  Because the DA supported social justice type bail reform, Mr. Brooks was able to be on the street to literally ride havoc on the streets of that town in Wisconsin.  When I first heard of it, I first figured he was suffering from "Sudden Jihadi Syndrome" because the denizens of islam love to take vehicles and drive through Christmas parades of the infidels, it is something they do in Europe.

   Mr. Brooks believed in Black nationalism and he didn't like police or white people, from his many social media post.  Hey it is his right, he can believe what he wants, bigots gotta bigot.

 

 But it somehow funny to watch the twisting of the media as they downplay the race and social media activities of the driver of that red SUV that caused so much carnage in that Christmas Parade....the Double standard of the mainstream media is galling...

      When "Da Narrative" is threatened, the media buries the information and pretends it don't exist, then they ofiscate and gaslight you.......But I am soo tired and don't want to talk about it any more.

   And speaking of the Media, it is coming out that the New York Times and other legacy media were complicit in the "Russia Conspiracy" hoax that they used to savage President Trump during his time in office, to the point that the Pulitzer prize they won for journalistic excellence for the totally debunked story should be returned, but despite the call for the Pulitzer Prize committee to revoke the award, they will not do anything because when ideology trumps the truth, there is a problem with the institution, and they don't recognize it and don't care.  this shows the effect of being in the bubble and twisting facts to support a narrative and facts be dammed, this is further splitting the country, we are no longer 1 country, but 2 totally different country and I see a divorce in the future, but I am tired of trying to explain.

    Soo many people wish President Trump was still President, I know I wish I do, I wonder how many Xiden supporters are having buyers remorse,  Sure President Trump can be an asshole, but his policies were good for the country, he loved the country, and unlike the current crop of donks ain't trying to tear it down.  I don't know if he will run in 2024 or if he will be behind the scenes anointing Desantis or some other GOPer in his image, but I am soo tired of trying to explain to people, I am just burned out, my people switch is toast and I have no give left in me...all I have left is push back.

How They Hate Us

I clipped this from American Greatness.  I had already commented that the people touting that we stay home are people that can stay home because they have safe .gov jobs and they can "work" from home and they suffer no ramifications from locking down the economy, they of course will still have a job, whereas us people in "flyover country" will be screwed because our employers are private companies that rely on products or services to stay in business and make payroll.  The sanctimonious of these "Covidkarens" is cloying and most of the people that fit the categories are public school teachers or other government drones because their jobs are guaranteed and they like to lord it over us because it is for our "safety" and the "Safety of others".  That is the excuse that they use to increase the restrictions on our freedoms on a disease that has a 99% survival rate and this was used to cripple the national economy and ultimately steal the election from President Trump with "mail in Ballots" and other variables.  This isn't about the disease, this is about control.

In 1971, before he made it big with “Star Wars,” a young George Lucas made a sci-fi film about a young man living in a dystopian future, “THX 1138.” That was the protagonist’s name. He was a cog in the machine. He had no apparent individual humanity, no real name, and the same clothes and appearance as everyone else.

Life for THX 1138 was grim, but bearable. He lived in a pod, was cajoled into dangerous work through constant propaganda, and relaxed at night through the combination of state-mandated drug cocktails and pornography. Sound familiar?

Failing to take the prescribed drugs, he gets out of line and soon finds himself in the grips of the regime’s corrective apparatus. In one particularly chilling scene, two technicians are adjusting the electronic mind control devices that keep the protagonist under control, but in the process subject him to agonizing tortures. 

Amplifying the horror is the technicians’ tone. They interface with the main character only through a silent computer screen, adjusting dials that produce appalling pain, and they speak in the same manner one would use in changing a set of spark plugs or tackling some other mundane problem. 

The horror comes from their indifference.

Two Nations, Growing Apart

Today, the Right’s passion causes some confusion from the Left’s managerial class, as well as other figures in the “establishment.” The Right says the Left hates them, and the managerial Left and its moderate fellow travelers are perplexed.

They say, we don’t hate you, we only want what’s best for you. Are things so bad for you? And who are things really bad for? Racist trailer-trash in flyover country? Who cares about them? 

The basic message is that they’re motivated by altruistic concern for the greater part of the community, especially those historically victimized by racism and other prejudice. Their noble motives are augmented by technocratic credentials and expertise. The only real victims of their system are bad people who deserve their lot. 

For the rest of us, including those not quite on board, we’re treated with the same charity one reserves for a toddler who won’t eat his vegetables. Your desires and wants aren’t compelling concerns, even though our regime is supposed to be based on the “consent of the governed.” They’re obstacles to be overcome. In the elite’s self-conception, they’re altruists and capable experts fighting against obscurantism, evangelizing the rest of us with “evidence-based” solutions. 

Thus, the conflation of disagreement with ignorance, the mania for censoring alternative views, and the talk of “unity” and “decorum.” Going along with the program is the fastest way to achieve the establishment’s promises of peace, harmony, and efficiency. 

The government looks very different to those living and working outside of it. Those inside are often completely shielded from the consequences of their rules. They do not have to worry about layoffs, pay cuts, the cost of insurance, and other burdens on Americans who work in the embattled private sector. They think of government as the land of their friendly, well-paid, and mostly unstressed neighbors. What’s not to like?

But the rest of us, particularly in the middle rungs of society, get little in return. When the federal government shuts down, we wouldn’t know unless we read it in the papers. And we interface with it chiefly by paying taxes and dodging meddlesome inspectors and other forms of harassment.

Hateful Indifference

There is a type of hate, perhaps more accurately called contempt, that manifests as extreme indifference. The individual “human engineering” of THX 1138 is rivaled by the “social engineering” that runs roughshod over the expressed desires of those of us who haven’t asked for these radical and intrusive changes.

The examples are legion and go back many decades. One is the “bombing” of safe suburbs with some undesirable new institution, like a housing project or refugee resettlement facility. Of course, these won’t go up in Chevy Chase, Maryland or in the Hamptons; that would be silly . . . to say nothing of expensive. But they have to go somewhere, and what better place than some middle American backwater, like Minneapolis or Boise. If this means the schools become dangerous, property values go down, or your children aren’t safe on the streets, that’s just the price of progress. You’ll have to manage. 

Obamacare had this feature, as well. It essentially was a Rube Goldberg contraption that ended up being a cross-subsidy for poor democratic constituencies from the pockets of the struggling middle classes. At the same time, the government workers’ and unions’ “Cadillac” insurance plans were left mostly untouched. 

Gun control also has this feature. It is fundamentally a war against self-defense and self-sufficiency. It deprives ordinary people of the means of self-protection, but the government has no corresponding duty of protection. If things happen—like riots—that’s just life. The cruelty of this policy—pushed often by those with private security and gated communities—is only made worse through hostile plans to “defund the police.” 

But nothing has illustrated the divide with greater clarity than the coronavirus hysteria. We now know that lockdowns did not work and were incredibly destructive to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans. And yet they’re being pushed again, this time on a national level. 

It’s not GS-12s, congressmen, and public school teachers who had layoffs and pay-cuts from these “shutdowns.” They had, at worst, the modest burdens of working from home. They still got paid. They still maintained their identities and their titles.

It is the struggling waitresses and hairdressers and hotel desk clerks who have suffered. It’s the small business owners whose restaurants, stores, and gyms have gone belly-up. While the insiders piled up cash and whined about us all being in this together, the rest of us got $1,200—if we even got that. 

Fertile Soil for Revolt

One of the most striking aspects of late Soviet times was that the common people were not chiefly complaining about abstract freedom or a desire for more democracy. They complained about the obvious privileges of the party elite, the special stores and nicer apartments and the corruption with which they enhanced their lot, while that same elite preached the brotherhood of man. The common people also were repeatedly insulted by big and obvious lies, such as the scale of the war in Afghanistan or the Chernobyl disaster. 

Much of the populist energy in our own country has the same feel. While the Bernie Sanders wing blames big business, the Trump wing is hostile to elites in both business and government—particularly now, when it seems an election may have been stolen. But the impulse comes from the same place: a sense that we’re not all in this together, that we don’t have the same struggles, that we don’t have a voice or a means of changing anything within the system, that the policies that benefit those in power come at the expense of the rest of us, and that the people in charge fundamentally do not care about us. 

The center-Left managerial elite don’t imagine themselves to be the party of hate. They believe themselves to be the party of progress, human rights, equality, and science. Even “love.” But their frequently expressed indifference to the fate of their fellow citizens echoes the hate-as-indifference so chillingly portrayed in science fiction dystopia. 

In the movie at least, humanity triumphs.

Some additional rants and musings...

 First off,  something happened to a good chunk of the western world....

   Yeap, this was my "work 'puter"....Hard to do work, look up manuals, and process 8130's, ete,ete.   It has affected my employer, other airlines, and anybody else that uses a window's based operating system.  Apparently a Microsoft outsourced vendor uploaded a very buggy patch and it caused a lot of problems..I thought of several things...1st, who is going to pay for the millions of dollars people and companies lost because of this...and the second and more insidious...was this an intentional? meaning...because I'm so cynical, I can see this to either sink an election or on a bigger scale cripple the western based world in time for an attack by a hostile power.   This is the problem of having a computer driven society and the work is outsourced to foreign countries that allegiances are suspect.....or did I say that out loud....meanwhile my personal laptop wants me to restart to install the updates and I will not do that right now.

     

Some more information about the shooter is leaking out, but not from official .gov sources...wonder why...His classmates have told reporters that the asshole hated President Trump with a passion and he/she/it ranted about Trump all the time about how much a threat Trump was to America,  but for some reason the .gov agencies will not release the motive...

..*I smell Nashville shooter crap again, bad for the narrative  ya know*  but part of me can kinda get it, for almost half the kids life he was told this by the media.

      Celebrities, Donk politicians, and other people of note all over social media, that it saturates it and anybody that disagrees with it is buried and throttled so their message doesn't get out, and others that are in hollywood and other places can't say anything because the same people that say

Control the outrage page on social media and they can whip up the mob and get like minded sheep to scream and hurl feces at the offender for thinking or saying *wronghivethink* and ruin careers or worse so others stay silent.

      Meanwhile things are coming out that the current head of the USSC is a close friend of "Dr Jill" so FLOTUS pushed for her vegetable hubbie to get Kimberly Cheatle the USSS head honcho job.

     And the DEI over at the USSS hit the high gear, there have been complaints that they lowered the standards to entice and recruit more female and minority candidates, before this, there have been reports of certain female agents on VEEP Harris's detail getting upset and attacking her superiors with no repercussions because she is "of the protected class",  Well makes me think being with Harris would be a reason to lose your religion I suppose.  But the various meme's I have seen about the trials of the USSS and "sloped Roof's" have been comedic gold.   Meanwhile on ly last post I made on "Wednesday" I had made a comment " makes me wonder if someone was "encouraged" not to be as diligent as they should be for "career reasons"  I was listening to some of the commentary from Sirius/XM they had gotten news reports from sources that the head of Presidents Trump's detail was for years worked with the Bidens. And there have been documented reports and emails from the Trump agents asking for more resources and being repeatedly denied and there was a lot of strain between his agents and the higher ups of the USSS.  It kinda makes me wonder if someone was kinda encouraged to not be as diligent for "reasons", and add to the fact that a lot of his regular agents were assigned to "Dr Jills" rally in Pittsburgh so there was more of a reliance on local LEO's, but the reports are coming out that the communications between the USSS and the Locals was poor at best and the cops tried to confront the shooter the first time came from traffic detail.  Like I said, it was a soup sandwich and the .gov agencies are in full CYA mode.   There needs to be a outside the agencies investigation that will get to the bottom of what happened without softsoaping it, or covering it up or hiding it, because anything else will continue to fuel the mistrust that the American people have toward the American government.

 

    Meanwhile it all over "X" and other social media that the same people that  say that President Trump is being overdramatic about that big bandaid on his ear,  the same people you know....the formerly "CovidKarens" the far left faithful that can't openly say"Dang, the kid missed his shot:, so they make other disparaging comments, funny that....

        I was going to make a long musing about out current denizen at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, but according to the pundits, he decided to do a Johnson and not seek a second term and throw his support to Kamala...First thought was "How much did they promise him and "Dr Jill" to get them to step back from such a lucrative gig as the presidency", also I have an Idea who Kamala will publicly pick for her VEEP, and I will 'splain why I say what I said...

   I can see the power brokers of the party pushing the queen of corruption on Harris to "balance her out,", publicly to have the all Female Ticket to go against the all white male Ticket of the GOP, the intersectional donks will eat it up, to help give President Harris some foreign policy assistance with Clinton's experience in the foreign arena, she would be a vast asset.  My opinion, the power brokers know that Harris is unelectable, and will sacrifice her rather than take a chance of pissing off the legion of female black voters that is a huge loyal voting block for the donks. Getting her creamed will take her off the board for 2028 where a fresh slate of donks will have a chance to go up against JD Vance who right now don't have the star power of "the Donald".  Personally, if Harris wins, If I was her, I would hire a food taster if Hillary is my VEEP, she has a habit of "Arkancideing" her opponents.

Some Musings........and Rants

 

The 2022 Election is almost here, and after 2 years of democratic control, we have massive inflation, massive crime spikes due to the soft on crime policies of the Soros funded DA's.  We have huge spikes in fuel prices, we have had "supply chain" disruptions...or basically a lot of stuff that people expect to see in the grocery store isn't there. We have had draconian lockdowns and .gov in the CDC and other government officials working hand in hand with the democrats to help the democrats grab power and hold power all in the name of "The Public Good" and well after 2 years of chaos, the Normies are pissed and there is a huge electoral bloodbath expected where the donks are expected to lose both the House and Senate.  The Normies, most that are apolitical are angry that their regular world has been so disrupted by the shameless powerplay of the democrats and they intend to punish the donks at the polls.  But to me and many others there is a concern that they will cheat and be so obvious about it since they got away with it in 2020 they will do it again knowing that it don't matter anymore and that they plan on staying in power no matter what.

   I recently closed my Paypal account That I had since 2004,  I had used it with my EBAY account. Apparently Paypal decided to go "Woke" and "Penalize"people $2500 for "Misinformation", and I and many others have closed our accounts.  I had major concerns because my paypal was attached to my Checking account and has been for many years and having PayPal arbitrarily deciding to be the arbiter of what is right or wrong didn't sit well with me and I didn't want them see something on my social media and "fining" me $2500.00 because I said something that some woke scold in Paypal found "Offensive" and nail me for that money to punish me for "Wrongthink" and hitting my checking account, so I killed it.  Apparently it has made an affect, Payal was at $95 dollars a share, until this broke, and when I killed my account, it was down to $83 (now as of 11/05/22, it was $75)  Hey "FAFO"

Elon Musk Officially over Twitter and the people on the left side of the aisle have lost their mind, for years they controlled twitter, it was one big echo chamber and anybody that wasn't a "blue Checked leftist" was pretty much shouted down and buried.A lot of conservatives including President Trump had their account permanently banned.  Well Elon Musk has started laying or firing people at Twitter and the gnashing of teeth is glorious to see. 

        We on the conservative side have been making comments like that "They can mine coal" or something along that line after the wokescold being sanctimonious when Xiden started shutting down the energy sector putting thousands of people out of work and the comments on twitter was "They can learn Code" well the twitterites can learn to mine coal...or there are other employment opportunities for them....

 Meanwhile back to the Vaccine front, Apparently the Donk infected CDC has published their recommendations for vaccinations for children including all the covid vaxx including the boosters..

A lot of parents have adopted the "not no but Hell NO" attitude, but the School Boards and Teachers Unions are trying to link this with a health crisis and stating if your kid don't have the VAXX then they can't attend school, and in the blue areas this is getting a lot of traction, but in the red states there is a lot of pushback, I am glad that my son has graduated.

 

 

Apparently "The Atlantic published a Covid Amnesty Story"

Ms. Oster cites school closures as one example: “There is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high.” (In the summer and fall of 2020, Ms. Oster herself favored opening schools.)

However, she adds, “in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.”

That’s awfully generous to Team Shutdown, which included all of the progressive great and good and nearly all of the media. Yet it was clear by summer 2020 that children were at extremely low risk for severe illness. They were also struggling with remote learning, as were their parents. All efforts should have been made to reopen schools, as Florida did in August 2020, and to keep them open.

But the teachers’ unions lobbied hard to keep them closed and succeeded in far too many places where they dominate local and state politics. Many big city school districts didn’t reopen until spring 2021. Chicago didn’t offer full in-person learning until last fall. The results in lost learning have been catastrophic.

Ms. Oster pardons Ms. Weingarten(The Teachers Union President) because “on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong” and “in some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.” You can guess who the right people are.

This plea for forgiveness would be more plausible if the shutdown lobby had shown more willingness during the pandemic to listen to other arguments that proved to be right. Instead they dismissed and tried to discredit the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration who argued for focused protection of the most vulnerable while opening schools. Tech platforms censored them.

Ms. Oster says “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.” But the teachers unions intentionally misled the public by hyping the virus risks for children. They did this to extort more money from Congress to “safely reopen” and compensate for learning losses from the shutdowns. Democrats gave them $122 billion last March, only about 15% of which was spent during the 2021-22 school year.

“Getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing,” Ms. Oster writes. But in Ms. Weingarten’s case, it was.

One certainty: The left will never forgive the shutdown dissenters, notably Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for being right.

 

       I recall being threatened with my job if I didn't get "The JAB", The social pressure to get "The JAB was unreal, from the media, from my friends, from everywhere,"Get the Jab" or you are subhuman scum that wants children and old people to die", kinda crap.  There was talk about stripping me of my rights, putting me in a camp with "Others of my ilk so we can infect each other like lepers" as the left raged on twitter and other social media post.  The holier than thou crap I dealt with for 2+ years getting sneered down and being treated like crap because I wouldn't take the Jab.  I have lost friends and colleagues over this.  My wife and son were treated like 2nd class citizens because of the "CovidKarens" and their behavior.

    Thats pretty much my attitude, I have the "I want Tribunals" forgive and forget is really hard right now, these are the people that shut down schools, businesses, locked up people for walking in the parks, and going to churches but allowed protest if they were of the certain political persuasion(Democrat) let cities burn, forced the police to back off thereby letting citizens to fend for themselves and a lot of people got killed and hurt. We went from Energy independence to Xiden begging the Saudi's to increase fuel production before the 2022 election hoping to postpone the expected electoral bloodletting that is expected after the nitwit shut down production in this country to appease his clueless base.  We have had criminals have a free reign because of the soft on crime policies of the Donk mayors and D.A's, We have had parents called "extremist" for opposing "CRT" and race based theory in their schools and the Xiden Dept of Justice sent the FBI to intimidate parents rather on criminals.  We have had a huge illegal groups swarming the border bringing a lot of fentanyl pushed by the cartels with them contributing to the opioid crisis Middle America is dealing with.

 

I can go on and on but the point is that the "normies" are pissed.  They had their parents die alone and all they got was "Tiktok" videos about how great the Medical was...unless you refused to get the VAXX then they fired you too and a lot of Dr's and nurses refuses to VAXX up and got unemployed and now are contract workers as the medical field tries to recover from the short sighted policies of Fauci and his ilk that for political expediency shut down the hottest economy in 30 years to try to push "Orange Man Bad" out of office.

Now they want amnesty...Like I said.....I am having a hard time being forgiving after the hell I and my family and friends went through for the past 2+ years.

The 2022 election is almost here, and there is a lot of concerns, I believe that if the election is fair, that the Donks will lose their ass, but they have no compunction about stealing and cheating, it is in their DNA to cheat because it is all about power and there is another concern...

      Democrats tend to have temper tantrums when they lose.....when they win, they are entitled jerks and rub it in the faces and go on power trips like we saw for the past 2 years.  Unless they cheat massively and I think this is likely they will get their clocks cleaned in 2022.  Voting is sacrosanct, it is the safety valve of our system, if they keep tampering with it to ensure their "Victory" people will no longer participate and start finding other ways to show their displeasure and that isn't good because "peaceful disobedience" only seems to work for the donks, if we use it we are extremist and have to be locked up and if you call someone something all the time, they become what they are accused of.
