Friends, the Dems have been making a lot of political hay by charging the Trump administration with gutting the CDC and NIH of funding ahead of the coronavirus pandemic, despite the fact that no such thing ever happened. It turns out, moreover, that the cuts that Trump proposed to the CDC were not dissimilar to cuts the Obama-Biden administration proposed. And yet, as usual, the coronavirus is all Trump's fault! Ridiculous.

It looks like Trump is now considering a revised approach to the pandemic that targets the areas most badly affected...including New York! I approve. The idea of a travel ban impacting the entire state is disagreeable, to say the least, because much of the state isn't suffering unduly from the virus. Be that as it may, a more targeted approach probably would have been preferable from the beginning. NYC should have been locked down a long time ago, if you ask me. Now, it may well be too late.

Finally, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Florida (among others), who are now dealing with a surge in coronavirus cases. I nonetheless approve of Gov. DeSantis's strategy, which allows localities and counties to crack down, but spares the least affected parts of the state from a blanket lockdown. Hear hear!

The fact that we have a MORON like Joe Biden running for President tells me a lot about the current state of our society. But the only reason he is able to run and be nominated for President is because a lot of DAMN FOOL Americans support him. In the end, people get the MORONS they support to lead them around.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, why do a bunch of people who are NOT Medical Doctors and professionals have so much to say about the Corona Virus. Now we have billionaires like Bill Gates yapping about this and that, with the media (left-wing mostly), hanging on his every word. Does he have the virus? Have not heard that he does. Maybe that is because he can isolate himself absolutely in total luxury and comfort. I have heard he owns an entire island somewhere. Guess if I was a billionaire with a lot of mansions here and there, I could find the time to pontificate on some pandemic.
ReplyDeleteAlso, getting real damn tired hearing from all of these media swamis and gurus with their astronomical salaries lecturing everyone about this virus. Sorry, but maybe Joe Biden needs to go into self-imposed quarantine for the duration, something unlikely to happen regrettably. STILL WAITING TO HEAR MORE FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ON THIS CREEPING CRUD PANDEMIC!!
DO NOT interpret my comments to mean that I don't feel anything for the victims of the virus in New York State, and NYC in particular, because I do indeed feel sorry for them.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this pandemic also shows you how STUPID the DemoLIARS are. They blame Trump for the virus, which is BEYOND SUPID, and completely ignore where this virus originated. But what can you expect from fools?
ReplyDeleteI still firmly believe that this virus is the result of an accident or was done deliberately to destabilize the world and the United States in particular. Folks, this is biological warfare. If someone has the means to release it, you know very well that eventually they will use it. More than anything, pandemics like this wreak havoc on economies. They tear apart the social fabric of communities.
The only other thing I can think of is that this is an experiment by the advanced culture of the Planet Mongo.
No matter how this Zombie Apocalypse turns out, when it ends there will probably be less freedom all around. Whichever political party delivers the most protection will be the favored one. In a way, this pandemic is an excellent laboratory for social control. I'm sure the sociologist and psychologists are having a field day with this.

ReplyDeleteNow I actually regret removing it, and just because I pushed the wrong button when I published it.
DeleteBut most of all, I feel so relieved that Tom Hanks is okay, and that he is hunkering down in his palatial home, and maintaining social distancing. This makes me happy beyond words, and we must all follow Tom's example. Tom knows what to do. I am overcome with joy beyond description. Thank God For Our Wonderful Hollywood elite.
ReplyDeleteDid I not post a comment yesterday? Odd, thought I did. So, I see no quarantine here, however, there is a Travel Advisory. Means non essential is not allowed to travel, wonder how this will be enforced among our vast highway system here.
ReplyDeleteI don't have proof of the thought of "this virus is the result of an accident or was done deliberately to destabilize the world and the United States in particular." I do support the opinion that Anonymous has of it, though (I am sure you are aware of the "conspiracy theorists"- again....not that I believe it all etc., but just keep your eyes and ears open and mind open.)
Umm...I wouldn't be so sure of the crackdown in Florida not affecting some areas, according to my folks and friends who live in various parts, there are check points every so often in every municipality.
"Here here" Anonymous on your thoughts. The sanctimonious media is getting to be a bit much.
Linda,
DeleteNo offense please in my comment (rebuttal) on your post. However, I think everyone needs to refocus on where this virus came from. The fact that this is not really happening is BECAUSE the left wing dregs think that if they do hold China responsible, it will smack of racism.
People like that moron Biden is certainly not going to hold China to task, mainly because he and his degenerate son have become so rich from them, as can be said of many other American politicians who are in bed with China.
Thanks.
None taken (offense). I completely understand what you are saying.
DeleteLinda
ReplyDeleteThink again about this particular virus as an accident or deliberate act. Where did it come from? Does the place it came from have a biological warfare capability? Is the government of that country capable of actually using "germ warfare"? Give your brain a chance, and think about this again and again.
Of course there is no proof as such. Why would a perpetrator of such warfare want to leave evidence around? Again, why did this virus originate in that country?
But let's say that none of this virus is a conspiracy by that particular country. But the FACT remains that it did come out of that country. Clearly, I am talking about CHINA. The FACT is that this virus came out of CHINA, and has caused a lot of deaths and sick people all over the world with some places getting hit worse than others.
Now, our left wing media pukes are acting as if this damn virus is the fault of The United States of America. Is it NOT disgusting that our own media are placing the blame on President Trump instead of the Dictator (President for Life) of the most ruthless dictatorship on the face of this planet.?
Please THINK about this again Linda. Thank you.
Ohhhh, Indeed, Anonymous. I do believe you are correct in what you have been posting/commenting.
DeleteAnonymous, I agree that the nomination of Joe Biden, a man who can't reason his way out of a wet paper sack these days, is a sorry reflection on America. It is also, however, a great boon to Trump, and makes his reelection far likelier than if he faced a competent or charismatic Dem.
ReplyDeleteAnd I too grow weary of the non-experts pontificating on the virus...although I don't watch tv, so I experience far less of it than you do.
And I'm sure you're right that, when the dust settles, government will be stronger and more intrusive. That's been the irreversible tide of history for, oh, darn near a thousand years. It will take more than a virus to dislodge our valiant overlords!
And I join Anonymous in wishing no specific harm to Tom Hanks and other Hollywood know-it-alls...although, if some generalized, non-specific harm were to come to them, uh, I wouldn't mourn.
Linda, the "travel advisory" is an interesting move, or non-move. I suspect it will do nothing but ENCOURAGE flight from the affected areas. Checkpoints in Florida? What are they checking for?
Anonymous has a point that our progressive elite is deflecting blame from China and assigning it (as ever) to Trump. That is, as you put it, BEYOND STUPID -- and, as Stupor Mundi, you ought to know!
Checkpoints in Fl.-if you have a northern license plate, you will be automatically turned back around, and told to "self declare", their names and addresses will be recorded and ordered self quarantined for 14 days (I dont know how). I wonder, are they taking people into custody? It is unknown how this will be enforced. I don't know Dr. Waddy...just going by the local Fl. news, Fox News and my dad. Actually, what my dad said, "Don't even think about coming down here right now, you will be arrested!"
DeletePS. STUPID is my word from here on, wink.
Linda, it looks to me like the worst that is being done to out-of-staters is that they are ordered to self-quarantine. Maybe the police check on them to ensure compliance? It isn't 1984, quite, but it's pretty wild, in the freest country of all time... I still don't see much evidence that these measures protect the countries that institute them.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Yes, they will be checked up on. The police will take the addresses and names and will do a welfare check.
