Far-right US politicians label lockdowns anti-constitutional

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

“If I choose to peacefully assemble, go to Church, go to a gun shop, take my family fishing, open my business, enjoy the outdoors, or exercise any of my constitutional rights, I should not be restricted from doing so by a would-be dictator,” Culp told supporters during a recent conference call.

Book captures wickedness a doctor witnessed as he struggled to decide who could be saved in Belsen | Daily Mail Online

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

General Brian Horrocks agreed a local truce and on April 15 sent Brigadier Hughes of the Royal Army Medical Corps — his top medical man — forward to reconnoitre the camp. Hughes drove along that remote forest road to Belsen not really knowing what to expect. Once he stepped inside, he saw at a glance the magnitude of the crime against humanity perpetrated there.

You can’t possibly read just this summary of the book and not be upset.

“Identity politics” leads to this particualr version of “man’s inhumanity to man”!

How to shop for groceries during COVID-19 – The Prepared

Tuesday, April 14, 2020

The virus can live on cardboard packaging (e.g. a cereal box) for 24 hours, so if someone else has touched that item and put it back, or sneezed/coughed within six feet of the box, it could be contaminated.

I was thinking about this the other day when in <REDACTED cause I’m sure they all “restock”> and I saw the team member “reverse shopping” (i.e., putting stuff in a basic back on the shelves).

Now I wonder if they hold the stuff out for 24 hours or not?

And, what about the deli products she was “restocking” into the refrigerated “grab and go”?

Hmmm.

Now I’ve always take solace in the 98% never get infected rate, and the high percentage of “never got sick at all” or “just a little sick”.  And, there is so much that is just unknown about the virus, how it transmits (maybe it is by 5G? Laugh!), and who is really at high risk.

Maybe I’m naïve, but I think that the politicians and bureaucrats are totally clueless.  — Although Mario Cuomo seems to be shooting straight on this topic at this time. —  And Doc Fauci may have a political ax to grind — Hence, everything they “plan” must be taken with a LARGE grain of salt.

(IMHO)

Don’t waste time on fools

What Not to Do https://cafehayek.com/2020/04/what-not-to-do.html

I responded with an analogy that I stole from my Mercatus Center colleague Dan Griswold (and which will appear later today at Cafe Hayek as a “Bonus Quotation of the Day”): America’s experience with the coronavirus no more implies that we should abandon globalization than does a power outage at your home imply that you should remove yourself from the electricity grid.

Folks have to understand “comparative advantage” and the division of labor.

Our current problem is with the Gooferment’s FDA. (Delaying the various “miracles” in process by confusing diktats.)

Let’s get back to free market capitalism and “honest money”!

Gavin Newsom Declares California a ‘Nation-State’, Columnist makes the case that Cali isn’t a disaster

Saturday, April 11, 2020

The attached article is interesting. It seeks to dis middle America. Meanwhile the once golden state is hemorrhaging residents, is strangling businesses, (they are moving to places like Texas and Florida), is overly dependent on a wealthy class based in San Francisco and LA for tax revenue, and the state has a pension shortfall, kept off the books somehow, of over 1 TRILLION dollars.

Trump’s Presidency Hangs on One Decision, by Pat Buchanan – The Unz Review

Friday, April 10, 2020

The crucial decision Trump will make is to choose the exact moment to reopen the country and the economy, without igniting a new spike in the pandemic that induces despair and causes a panic.

The president’s aides in charge of the medical crisis want the longest delay possible. His economic and political advisers, fearing Trump could be forced to run as Herbert Hoover did, at the nadir of a new depression, want an earlier decision to start opening up the country.

Action cannot long be delayed if we are to survive the medical crisis only to endure a longer and more costly economic crisis.

I’d roll the dice and say that DJT45 has NOT handled this crisis well.  (Primarily thanks to the media and the entrenched politicians and bureaucrats!)  So he has to restart asap and just hope the economy comes back like gangbusters.

VOCABULARY: “Granny Farming”

Friday, April 10, 2020

You Don’t Have to Take Trump’s Word to See Mail-In Vote Fraud

Here, the President enjoys broad agreement. Elections officials from all political stripes acknowledge that mail-in ballots are far more vulnerable to fraud. Stories of political operatives who routinely scam senior citizens out of their absentee ballots are so widespread that the term “granny farming” was coined.  Even the New York Times, when reporting on suspicions of election fraud in North Carolina last year, noted that “absentee ballots are especially susceptible to manipulation.”
