A Sobering Thought

Some say everyone will get COVID-19 eventually  ... particularly if Trump restarts the economy on or around Easter. And, given my risk factors — 81 with hypertension and diabetes — the odds are against my survival. So, has Trump given me a death sentence in order to keep our country from dropping into an economic depression?

Italy is already practicing coronavirus triage ... not offering extreme treatments to those over the age of 60 ... denying them ventilators and respirators.  If the United States is overwhelmed with Wuhan flu cases, I suspect the same might happen here ... despite, or maybe because of our aging population (remember Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Sanders and virtually our entire ruling class also fit into this category). And until an effective vaccine is developed and/or treatment cures are found, there is a potential for tens of thousands (or more) deaths of us senior citizens. A sobering thought.

And if this nightmare scenario does come about, who of this older group might be spared? George Soros? Robert De Niro? Warren Buffett? Chuck Schumer? Mike Bloomberg? Joy Bahar? You bet your ass these poobahs will have the means to jump the line ... as will most other qualifying financiers, entertainers and politicians. Or will their altruism take over ... and they will step aside so that our younger generation will be spared because they are the future of our country?

Nah! Don’t be silly!

Boiling the Ocean

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. — Confucius

There seems to be legions of sanctimonious martinets who believe that they can cure the Earth of all the ills that we vandals are forcing upon the innocents. We are killing porpoises by eating a tuna fish sandwich and befouling our seas by drinking our soda with a plastic straw.

These many social justice warriors fight with placards and bullhorns to save the spotted owl, the snail darter, allow fluid gender men to use ladies rooms, ban Big Gulps, stop global warming, fight for free speech (oops, that’s an obsolete one), stop illegal alien babies from being RIPPED from their mothers’ arms, allow transgender high school boys to wrestle in girls’ tournaments, castigate “white supremacists,” get rid of the Electoral College and on and on and on. There is no end to the things that Rosie O’Donnell, Barbara Streisand and Joy(less) Bahar clamor that we must remedy TODAY! (Why so many women social justice warriors?)

Bottom line: It would seem that the energy expended by all these combatants to force the rest of us to do mostly silly things might be better spent performing just one or two small acts that repair something meaningful ... like how poorly educated many of our children are. Maybe each should begin by inspiring just one recalcitrant child into a respect for knowledge.

If everyone who wants to boil the ocean would just make a cup of hot tea for a thirsty elder, we would be far better off ... with far less angst ... and far fewer blasting megaphones.

Resistance

A man is known by the company he keeps -- Aesop


Some of you dear readers fashion yourselves as members of the "Resistance" ... or those who dislike, even despise President Trump. This is not an insignificant cadre. It involves most of Hollywood, many athletes, much of the Main Stream Media, many foreign leaders, Pelosi Democrats, and even many establishment Republicans. Quite a formidable group!

However, the Resistance also includes:

- Peter Fonda who wants Baron Trump to be placed in a cage with a pedophile. And Trump's DHS Secretary, Kristjen Nielsen should be placed naked in another cage and poked with sticks by passer-bys. (A little too Freudian, no?)

- Kathy Griffen who pretends to cut off Trump's head and proudly holds up this bloody trophy.

- Stephan Colbert who says on TV that Trump sucks Putin's cock ("cock holster")

- ANTIFA has published on the Internet the names and home addresses of ICE agents

- Sarah Silverman who openly called for a "military coup" against Trump

- Democratic Socialists of America protesters  drove Ms. Nielsen from a DC restaurant and, the next day, surrounded her home shouting threatening messages.

- Occupy Wall Street is advocating the killing of ICE agents

- Madonna, at the Women's March, said  she wanted to blow up Trump's White House

- Joy Behar of "The View," when she heard about someone dying in a Trump Tower fire, hoped it was President Trump

- A number of FBI agents and DOJ officials who actively worked to "stop" Trump being elected ... and likely used the power of their agency to do so .. and some may still be trying to oust him.

- Countless CNN, MSNBC and over-the-air TV channel anchors who have likened Trump to Hitler, Musolimi, a Nazi, KKKer, "f-you's", etc.


The list goes on and on and on ... ate you Resisters happy to be associated with this pond scum?
