I remember "14 days to flatten the curve".......In early March - 8 months ago......That's a lot of 14 days there.....

So far, I am a "Deplorable" "Chump" "Pimp"....... (Hillary, Biden, Sharpton)

And the President is "supposed" to be a racist and sexist.....

Maybe your right - technically they didn't start with "mandates"...... https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/10/it-s-been-so-so-surreal-critics-sweden-s-lax-pandemic-policies-face-fierce-backlash Sweden’s approach to the coronavirus pandemic is out of step with much of the world. The government never ordered a “shutdown” and kept day care centers and primary schools open. While cities worldwide turned into ghost towns, Swedes could be seen chatting in cafés and working out at the gym. The contrast evoked both admiration and alarm in other countries, with journalists and experts debating whether the strategy was brilliant—or whether Tegnell, its main architect, had lost the plot.

Unrealistically I would remove all mandates and let people do as they wish. You mean like Sweden?

How do you spell "stupid"?

https://www.tmz.com/2020/10/21/barack-obama-stumps-joe-biden-philadelphia-bullhorn-streets/ "Barack Obama stumps using a bullhorn on the streets of Philly" is the headline in every news story - Like he's really out there and folks are piling in to hear "44" speak, and he's really stirring up the Biden excitement out there........ Watch the video, when it pans you can see he is literally using a bullhorm talking to about 10 people.......and an eight year old..... Yeah, I'm not buying it.....

Joe Biden: antifa isn't real. It's just an idea. Also Joe Biden: America is an idea.

But the pictures look so cool though..... If you want to debate mankind's stewardship ie: improperly handling trash and pollution and it's impact on clean water and clean air, you will find me very close to you on that argument - yes we could and should do better...... But you will never convince me that mankind's actions (short of full nuclear war) could ever come close to what happens through naturally occurring phenomena such as (IDK) maybe the Earth's rotation around the SUN or the shifting magnetic north pole. But what do I know? https://earthsky.org/earth/magnetic-north-rapid-drift-blobs-flux#:~:text=The location of Earth's north,winning%2C” according to scientists.&text=You probably know that a,t point to true north.

So this morning, the Elkhart General Hospital (1 of 2 large hospitals in Elkhart County) has "almost" 40 Covid patients and calls it a "desperate situation". In a 375 bed hospital. (IMHO) maybe if they call back some of the staff they (and the other local hospitals) laid off in March/April when it became "illegal" to perform elective procedures, the situation wouldn't be so desperate.......

We use measurables in business and general life every everyday. Productivity, quality, efficiency......gas mileage, ...... but having a kid earn something, like a higher grade now is racist....Sad.

https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-08-30-nasa-admits-climate-change-not-caused-by-suvs-fossil-fuels.html# For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let the man-made global warming hoax persist and spread, to the detriment of human freedom. It was the year 1958, to be precise, when NASA first observed that changes in the solar orbit of the earth, along with alterations to the earth’s axial tilt, are both responsible for what climate scientists today have dubbed as “warming” (or “cooling,” depending on their agenda). In no way, shape, or form are humans warming or cooling the planet by driving SUVs or eating beef, in other words. But NASA has thus far failed to set the record straight, and has instead chosen to sit silently back and watch as liberals freak out about the world supposedly ending in 12 years because of too much livestock, or too many plastic straws. In the year 2000, NASA did publish information on its Earth Observatory website about the Milankovitch Climate Theory, revealing that the planet is, in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that have absolutely nothing to do with human activity. But, again, this information has yet to go mainstream, some 19 years later, which is why deranged, climate-obsessed leftists have now begun to claim that we really only have 18 months left before the planet dies from an excess of carbon dioxide (CO2). The truth, however, is much more along the lines of what Serbian astrophysicist Milutin Milankovitch, after whom the Milankovitch Climate Theory is named, proposed about how the seasonal and latitudinal variations of solar radiation that hit the earth in different ways, and at different times, have the greatest impact on earth’s changing climate patterns. The below two images (by Robert Simmon, NASA GSFC) help to illustrate this, with the first showing earth at a nearly zero orbit, and the second showing earth at a 0.07 orbit. This orbital change is depicted by the eccentric, oval shape in the second image, which has been intentionally exaggerated for the purpose of showing the massive change in distance that occurs between the earth and the sun, depending on whether it is at perihelion or aphelion. “Even the maximum eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit – 0.07 – it would be impossible to show at the resolution of a web page,” notes the Hal Turner Radio Show. “Even so, at the current eccentricity of .017, the Earth is 5 million kilometers closer to Sun at perihelion than at aphelion.” For more related news about climate change and global warming from an independent, non-establishment perspective, be sure to check out ClimateScienceNews.com. The biggest factor affecting earth’s climate is the SUN As for earth’s obliquity, or its change in axial tilt, the below two images (Robert Simmon, NASA GSFC) show the degree to which the earth can shift on both its axis and its rotational orientation. At the higher tilts, earth’s seasons become much more extreme, while at lower tilts they become much more mild. A similar situation exists for earth’s rotational axis, which depending on which hemisphere is pointed at the sun during perihelion, can greatly impact the seasonal extremes between the two hemispheres. Based on these different variables, Milankovitch was able to come up with a comprehensive mathematical model that is able to compute surface temperatures on earth going way back in time, and the conclusion is simple: Earth’s climate has always been changing, and is in a constant state of flux due to no fault of our own as human beings. When Milankovitch first put forward his model, it went ignored for nearly half a century. Then, in 1976, a study published in the journal Science confirmed that Milankovitch’s theory is, in fact, accurate, and that it does correspond to various periods of climate change that have occurred throughout history. In 1982, six years after this study was published, the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences adopted Milankovitch’s theory as truth, declaring that: “… orbital variations remain the most thoroughly examined mechanism of climatic change on time scales of tens of thousands of years and are by far the clearest case of a direct effect of changing insolation on the lower atmosphere of Earth.” If we had to sum the whole thing up in one simple phrase, it would be this: The biggest factor influencing weather and climate patterns on earth is the sun, period. Depending on the earth’s position to the sun at any given time, climate conditions are going to vary dramatically, and even create drastic abnormalities that defy everything that humans thought they knew about how the earth worked. But rather than embrace this truth, today’s climate “scientists,” joined by leftist politicians and a complicit mainstream media, insist that not using reusable grocery bags at the supermarket and not having an electric vehicle are destroying the planet so quickly that we absolutely must implement global climate taxes as the solution. “The climate change debate is not about science. It is an effort to impose political and economic controls on the population by the elite,” wrote one commenter at the Hal Turner Radio Show. “And it’s another way to divide the population against itself, with some who believe in man-made global warming and some who don’t, i.e. divide and conquer.” Again - where I stand was once covered by glacial ice (really deep ice) that retreated back north (way north). A long time before there were fossil fuels......

OK - So 1 year ago - I get sick, I stay home until I mostly feel better, then get back to the office. Nobody else had any concern except to say get better - see ya soon (hopefully tomorrow) Today - I cough because I swallowed my own saliva (which can happen to anyone BTW not just me), everyone around me thinks "Coronavirus - dead in 2 weeks" - you better go get tested, we need to send anyone with any contact to him home to quarantine for 10 days..........WTF people....

Anyone: returning from using the restroom..... Me: "Everything come out alright?"

Maybe President Trump was right after all - "Don't let the cure be worse than the disease"......

Hunter isn't, but his father is. Former VP Joe Biden said he never discussed his son's, brother's business dealings with either of them. Kinda giving the impression he was as clean as the wind-driven snow after 47 years in DC. These lies have now been exposed in broad daylight, and the actions the Biden family hoped would remain buried (and would have remained buried had it not been for the inept Hunter B.) are now out there for anyone to see, so why aren't any "reputable" news agencies talking about it - if even to deny it or debunk it?

Incredible story. In

https://nypost.com/2020/10/15/kayleigh-mcenany-twitter-has-me-at-gunpoint-to-delete-biden-story/ White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tore into Twitter for locking her account — saying the administrators “essentially have me at gunpoint” until she deletes the post she shared of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story. McEnany was among the Twitter users blocked from spreading The Post’s exclusive front-page story on Biden’s alleged hard drive, and an email linking Joe Biden to his son’s job at a Ukrainian energy company — with the social media site claiming “hacked materials” were used in the report. “It’s not a temporary blockage,” McEnany told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night. “When I log on to my Twitter account, it says I’m permanently banned. They essentially have me at gunpoint and said unless you delete a news story by the New York Post, I cannot regain access to my account.” When she attempted to tweet The Post’s story, McEnany got a message from Twitter that said, “Your account has been blocked. We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically, for: Violating our rules against distribution of hacked material.” “This is censorship. This is not the American way,” she told Hannity. “This is not how a freedom-loving democracy operates. We have to have to hold Twitter accountable, and Facebook too, who is banning the transmission of this story simply because ideologically it hurts the side of the aisle that Silicon Valley prefers. It’s sad, it’s censorship, [and] this is not America.” She added, “Make no mistake, if they can ban the press secretary of the United States for President Trump, they can ban you, as a citizen, and that is pathetic.” On Wednesday night, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that “blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable.” Facebook also limited the spread of the story on its platform. Sickening partisan censorship by both Twitter and Facebook. This story and the incredible dynamic ramifications exploding out of it of how Joe Biden was able to appear so clean after 47 years in DC are so incriminating it will be nearly impossible to ignore. IMHO - Twitter may have just signed it's own death warrant....
