National guard should not be used as a band aid for poor government policy.

INCOMPETENT POLITICIANS JUST CREATE NEW CRISIS TRYING TO FIX THEIR POOR DECISIONS

DAMAGING NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES 

It seems that democrat politicians go to answer to the problems they have created is to lay it on the military reservists. I guess they feel they can order them around without any meaningful compensation. They show their lack of compassion for these people and their families. Who is going to pay their mortgages, their bills and take care of their families while they are ordered away for an indefinite time.

Every military reservist ordered to work in hospitals, schools and other understaffed situations will be taken off their regular jobs and create a new set of problems. If they are medical personal they will just shift the crisis from one area to another. They are not getting more people to work, just taking them from one job and forcing them into another. The national guard is not a source of free workers for incompetent politicians and it should be stopped now.

Just consider the health care workers who have come to work for the last 2 years and worked to take care of the sick people, who have been exposed to covid every day. Most have likely acquired immunity from their exposure, now they are fired for refusing to be vaccinated. Now there is a crisis from a lack of these workers and we are going to replace them with untrained national guard or trained reservists removed from their present job. If you believe this is good policy, you are part of the problem. 

Calling up reservists to drive school buses is just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Why don't they order the teachers to drive the buses, they seem to like to order everyone else around.

The military reserve is here to be a back up  to augment our full time military. Yes, they have been called up in case of emergency, such as floods, hurricanes and other disasters, but just for a short time. They cannot be called up for long extended tmes to satisfy the desires of incompetent politicians. This policy will destroy many families and create a financial disaster for them.

Many suffered greatly by being called up for  a year at a time during the mideast wars. Many ended in financial ruin, divorce and damaged families. Now they are being abused again.

The last 2 years have damaged or destroyed many business's and now they are expanding the destruction by their short cited policies. One must wonder if they are just stupid or are intentionally destroying this country.

Do you suspect that you have had Covid?

COVID ANTIBODY TESTS NOW READILY AVAILABLE 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD THE VIRUS

Recent studies out of Israel have suggested that immunity from having contracted the virus is superior to any of the vaccines in protecting against reinfection. Israel has the most vaccinations, with over 90 % of the population vaccinated. At the same time they have reported a large increase in infections, many in the previously vaccinated population.  They now report that the vaccines seem to wane in effectiveness in about 5 months. No one is trying to diminish the importance of vaccinations, but it seems the Israeli studies are less motivated by politics than in the good old USA. Everyone deserves to be supplied with as much information as possible concerning your healthcare.

If you suspect you may have had the virus you can now get an antibody test in many places. Your local doctor can do it. They do draw some blood to do the test. CVS also does the test and has the results while you wait. You do need to make an appointment. So far, everyone that I know who has had the test has tested positive for the Covid antibodies. I suspect many of us have contracted the virus without serious consequences.

This is just another tool to help everyone to make sound decisions in the future. It is a little disturbing that approaching 2 years of experience with this virus we have seen no U.S. studies about this virus. No studies on acquired immunity, no studies on the long term effects and treatment. Not much serious research into best treatment practices. It seems that health care professionals have had to use their own trial and error methods and if their success's are shared they are often demonized for not being scientific.

The whole focus is on vaccination with a new type of, never before used on humans, vaccine. If it is true that we gain a strong immunity from contracting the virus, then we should be able to manufacture a vaccine using dead or weakened virus's as in the past. All previous vaccines from smallpox to polio used a dead or weakened virus and many of these had a lifetime of protection.

These new vaccines may prove to be an improved method of vaccination, but as yet it appears they will become a maintenance drug that we will need to be reapplied every few months. This country spends billions of dollars on studies of the mating habits of turtles and other bizarre endeavors, it seems they are not seeking real information on this new virus.

Biden border policy=Biological warfare against states.

 COVID VIRUS AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES BEING SPREAD ACROSS NATION

CONGRESS AND STATES NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW

The Biden administration inherited a hard fought for, reasonably manageable southern border. There was a wait in Mexico policy, a limit on refugees and more barriers to illegal immigration than anytime in U.S. history. Biden let it be known that he would immediately reverse those policies if elected. He has done just that. He has created a chaotic, dangerous and out of control border situation.

With the border patrol being overloaded with caring for illegal migrants from over 100 countries, they can no longer regulate the flow of sex slaves, drugs and other contraband across the border.  Democrat contributions from the Cartels should be at an all time high. They have never had it so good.

Without a doubt, the most dangerous result of this democrat endorsed policy is the spread of new covid vartients across the nation, variants that are not being eliminated by the current vaccines. Not only covid, but hepatitis and many other diseases that no one really has any idea of the long term consequences on not just the border states, but the whole nation.

With Biden's economic policies there is a crisis shortage of workers, you can bet many of these new immigrants will be working in restaurant kitchens, nursing homes and other place were they will be exposing citizens. But of course, that is just so much collateral damage in the quest for new democrat voters and ultimately forever power.

If this policy is allowed to continue the country will be overrun by this illegal invasion in just a few short years. It will create a crisis chaotic situation, not just at the border, but in the nations schools, hospitals and all social services. America will truly become a two tier nation with a huge uneducated, unskilled population trying to survive and the citizen population trying to maintain their current lifestyle. It is a recipe for disaster. I can only assume that the democrat strategist's believe this will be a recipe for social revolution and total power.

Members of both parties better step up now and insist that this crisis is stopped now. No politician who is looking out for the best interest of their constituents can ignore this any longer. They have the power to end it now.

The states, particularly the border states, should set up escrow accounts and collect all federal taxes and fees. They then should hire and expand their own border enforcement and deduct the cost from the escrow accounts. 

While the federal government under this administration wants to mandate, tax and regulate the citizens of this country, often exceeding their constitutional limits, they refuse to be responsible for the duties they are entrusted to enforce. Their focus needs to be the proper enforcement of the law and the duties entrusted to them by the constitution and the people.

Are Biden mandates, just political gestures?

REALITY IS, MOST AMERICANS ARE DONE WITH MASKS, VIRUS HYSTERIA

CROWDED UNMASKED STADIUMS, EMPLOYERS CAN'T AFFORD TO ENFORCE MANDATES

If you watch CNN and listen to press conferences from Joe Biden you get a false impression as to what is going on in the real world. Just watch NFL games from Florida to the West coast and you see packed stadiums with unmasked spectators. Does anyone believe all those fans were vetted for being vaccinated.

We hear mandates for business 's to vet employees for vaccination or lose their jobs, while there may be some instance of business complying, mostly they are ignoring this unconstitutional mandate. It is just that these employers do not have the ability to enforce these rules. And secondly, they cannot afford to lose any workers and continue in business.

I am not stating that there is not an increase in covid cases or that there is no risk to particularly vulnerable persons, but in effect, Americans, and it appears many others around the world, have accepted the reality of Covid and have begun to resume their lives.

It is likely we will see the Biden administration move on to other priorities in the near future. It is just another example of many Americans no longer taking seriously what is coming out of this administration.

It is just a big effort at creating perceptions over reality.

I understand that in Florida and I know for sure that in South Carolina the use of Monoclonal antibody therapy has become the go to therapy for anyone who tests positive for Covid-19.  These states have clinics running that specialize in this approach and are recommending it for anyone who has tested positive. 

It does seem that cases are beginning to decline and hopefully we will have some better vaccines and therapies developed in the future. It is likely we will be dealing with covid for years to come.

No consequences for incompetence or even treason.

 INCOMPETENT DISASTER IN AFGHANISTAN EXIT AND NOW REVELATIONS OF TREASON BY GEN. MILLEY

CONSEQUENCES ONLY APPLY TO THE POLITICAL OPPOSITION

We have been watching an endless series of democrat operatives who have been caught red-handed either lying under oath or committing other illegal acts without one ever being charged or prosecuted. 

We start with James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, who lied under oath on national television, when he swore that the U.S. government does not illegally collect personal communications information en masse on American citizens. It was later revealed by Edward Snowden that this was a lie and he, a real whistle blower, had to flee the country to save his life. Julian Assange, who published the revelation has been incarcerated for over 10 years in the U.K. without ever being convicted of anything. 

Then we have the numerous FBI, CIA and State department official who orchestrated the failed coup on Donald Trump with the Russian collusion hoax. Many also committed perjury under oath, but not one ever was held accountable.

Then we have yesterday's revelation that General Mark Milley, someone who has advocated instructing our serviceman in Critical Race theory, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, consulted with Nancy Pelosi and had communications with Communist China, outside the chain of command concerning their fear that Trump would start a nuclear war with China. A far fetched idea considering all the safeguards in place concerning the use of nuclear weapons. Miley had no authority or responsibility in this matter. If the parties and people would be reversed Miley would be tried for Treason.

We saw similar acts of treason by government employees, Vidman and Eric Ciaramella, whose treasonous acts were celebrated by Democrat politicians and never prosecuted for breaking federal law.

We saw numerous Democrat operatives who acted as representatives of foreign governments, including Tony Podesta and Greg Craig, who were lobbyist for Ukraine but never prosecuted, while at the same time anyone who was associated with Donald Trump was prosecuted even if they only had conversations with foreign government officials.

We now see the danger of putting politically and ideologically correct persons in positions of responsibility and power with the disastrous exit from Afghanistan. Sadly, our military leadership has been purged of the competent and replaced with political aligned personell that will facilitate political acquisition of power over the best interest of the country. 

This is a disservice to out rank and file servicemen, whose lives are put on the line by those behind a desk in Washington on the phone with political operatives, whose only goal is gaining political power.

We see the same scene being played out in law enforcement where good experienced officers are leaving and being replaced with political operatives and likely a much lower standard of personell.

This is America today, this is how our justice system has degenerated. This is how political considerations have overtaken every aspect of government behaviour. A complicit media that just reports the facts that support their agenda. It is likely, we are the last generation to have witnessed a free and self governing country.

The vaccinated do not have to fear the unvaccinated.

VACCINATION MUST BE VOLUNTARY DECISION

PEER PRESSURE AND SHAMING WILL JUST CREATE MORE DIVISION

We continually hear about companies insisting that employees be vaccinated. So far over 34,000,000 confirmed cases of Covid have been reported in the U.S., that is 11% of the population. There are estimates that real infection rate could be as high as 10 times that number which would almost indicate that nearly the whole population has had covid. That sounds a little unrealistic, so let assume the unreported cases are equal to the reported case that would indicate that 68 million have had covid to date. That would be 22% of the population. 

It is reported that 296 million doses of vaccine have been administered, and 135 million have been fully vaccinated that would be 41% of the population. So we can assume that over half of the population has either had the infection or have been vaccinated. Many of the unvaccinated are children, which in most cases have not been approved for the vaccines. 

With those statistics in mind it is no surprise that cases and deaths are falling dramatically. 

We can scientifically assume that with no vaccine and no effort at remediation almost the whole population would have contracted this disease sooner rather than later. The efforts may have saved many and extended the time until a vaccine was available. 

There should be polling type studies to gauge how many have antibodies to the virus. This would indicate how widespread the infection has been in the general population.

Recent studies are indicating that those who have had covid do have immunity to reinfection for a long time maybe even forever. Of course, we have not had enough time to track those results, just like we still don't know the long term efficacy of the vaccines. 

With those statistics in mind its time to stop the hysteria about vaccinations and instead a policy of encouragement may produce better results. Whenever we see groups too insistent on some conformity we will see an opposite resistance. This is human nature. Especially in a time when no one seems to trust  anything that has become politicized as this pandemic. It does appear that some would like to use any resistance to conforming to vaccination as an opportunity to punish or marginalize those who are not sure they want to be vaccinated just yet. 

There is no need to fear the unvaccinated. If you are vaccinated, good for you, you are likely now immune from serious illness from this disease. The only risk of unvaccinated is to other unvaccinated people, they should have the right to take that risk if they think it is in the their best interest. 

Originally published 6/3/21.   latest numbers indicate that nearly 200 million are vaccinated and 100 million have had the disease. If the vaccines really work we should be in a good place.

Bin Laden achieved his goal of bleeding America.

 WE ARE STILL SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF  911

BUSH'S MEMORIAL SPEECH NEVER QUESTIONED HIS POLICY 

This weekend was the 20th anniversary of the destruction of the world trade center. It is an event that without a doubt changed the direction of world and the final result may not yet be realized. 

911 was a reaction to U.S. middle east policy, it was not the beginning of a war of ideology or a reaction against the idea of democracy. It was a reaction to our interventions into the affairs of the Muslim world. 

While it was dastardly action against a civilian population it was a predictable possibility that was forsawn by many analysts and intelligence operatives.

In fact, Bin Laden himself was very open in his writings and video releases that he and his allies would take such actions if we did not remove our troops from Saudi Arabia. When Saudi Arabia became the staging ground for the first gulf war it was supported by many in that area, but the permanent presence in Saudi Arabia of U.S. troops was feared by many. This was the impetus of Bin Laden's war on America.

Most everyone dismissed Bin Laden's many video releases as the ranting's of a Muslim fanatic, possibly unhinged. He was very clear in his intentions and had no illusions about his chance of survival. 

His warning was that if we did not suspend our interventions in the Muslim world he and has allies would bleed America much in the same way that they bled the Soviet Union. His understood that an attack on our homeland would bring about a massive response that would cause us to expend trillions of dollars and many lives of  Americans and our allies. He saw and articulated this scenario many times.

It would also change America forever in that we would need to respond with increased and costly security at home that is still with us today. Life in America has changed forever since 911. I doubt that we will ever return to a time that preceded this event. 

We have seen the Patriot act which not only was used as a tool for surveillance of foreign enemies by also on American citizens, a huge increase in Federal 'government power in many areas, not just concerning terrorism. In effect, a creation of a massive surveillance bureaucracy that continues to grow and expand today.

I suspect that the consequences of the actions put in motion by the 911 attack will continue for many years to come. 

Big Daddy Biden is losing patience with unvaccinated.

MOVES TO INCREASE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POWER

IS THE VIRUS THE BEST DISTRACTION FROM HIS INCOMPETENCE 

Yesterday we heard of Biden's plan to eliminate the virus from this country. It is all about force and an increase of government coercion in the private sector. I watched the NFL game in Florida last night, full house, no masks, you could see that there are two Americas when it come to the virus. I assume many of those at the games were vaccinated, but I also assume many were not. If you require proof of vaccination at restaurants and airlines we will see another collapse of the economy, one that will likely not recover so easy. If you require proof for employment you will see many lost business's due to not enough staff that is already at crisis levels.

It is interesting that Biden has not lost his patience with millions of unvaccinated illegal migrants that he is busing into every state in the country. Nor is losing patience with the drug turf wars killing hundreds of people in the cities every weekend. Or is his patience guided by what polls as a beneficial political calculation.

The people that are living in fear of the virus are vaccinated, masked and mostly still staying home. If you take the unvaccinated and those that have had the virus out of the economy many more business's will fail.

A good question is, if we have near 195 million vaccinated, a 100 million with natural immunity from having contracted the virus, this estimate was confirmed by several scientific studies, how is it that we have more cases now than we had 1 year ago? Those numbers indicate that only around 30 million be unprotected and those would be children. 

All these discussions ignore the many people who have had the virus and have natural immunity. Fauci yesterday on CNN was asked and he said there was not enough research on this, but admitted there is an acquired immunity after having the disease. This is a lot of people. Recent studies in Israel have confirmed that the natural immunity is powerful and long lasting. Are we going to force these people to now be vaccinated, to make a political point, without scientific proof this is the right course?

I am personally not opposed to vaccines, having had covid I have been advised by medical professionals with several options, but none required 2 shots of vaccine. There also other people who should not get the vaccine due to their medical condition. There is a lot of pressure to approve these vaccines for children, without the possibility of long term research. Why can no one seems to understand why some have concerns about this vaccine?

My brother who is 82 and has some lung issue recently relented and got vaccinated, I personally told him that with his age what does he have to loose as his expected lifespan is short anyway and his risk from covid is high. Everyone should be allowed to make these decisions for themselves, only they will suffer the consequences of a wrong decision. 

In time these new vaccines, never used on humans before, may be proved to be great, safe, effective and the way of the future. It is also likely that before this pandemic is over everyone will have contracted the virus.

 

States rights or totalitarian federal government.

 WHICH PATH WILL PRESERVE THE UNION?

WILL IT BE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OR FORCED COMPLIANCE

We are witnessing  the greatest debate about the rights of individuals and states since the civil war. There is extreme pressure by many for the Federal government to have ultimate power over every aspect of our existence. Of course, it is always for our own good, we as individuals can not be expected to make good decisions for ourselves or can the citizens of individual states.

Much of the division in the country has been generated by a continuing expansion of federal government power over individual liberty and states rights to govern as those citizens decide. Much of these encroachments have been from a liberal interpretation of the constitution that used the interstate regulation clause to attempt to control everything by the Federal government. This ignores the part about only those powers specifically granted to the federal government are federal government powers, all other power shall remain with the states and individuals. Today the constitution is mostly ignored as irrelevant, the federal government seems to believe it already has ultimate power and will exert it whenever it pleases.

The constitution is simply the law for the Federal government and if changes are supported by the states and the people there is a process to amend the constitution, not short cut with a judicial ruling that is not supported by the constitution. If this principle would be adhered to there would be much more unity and peace in this country. The problem is that amending the constitution has proved to be time consuming and difficult, as it was intended to be.

Whether abortion, gay marriage, or any other controversial issue, a constitutional amendment would be the proper course. Most of these controversial social issues could not even be passed in state referendums, so they were implemented by judicial decisions. Decisions that had no basis in the constitution. It is obvious that there is a federal judge somewhere that rule on anything with a decision that someone wants.

We are now at a pivotal time when the Federal government and its vast bureaucracy aided by a complicit ultra powerful media would like to end all claims of state and individual rights by forcing its will on everyone about everything. We hear claims about social responsibility and global issues that only the federal government in its infinite wisdom can address. America was always a country that put individual rights first, many of those rights were intentionally protected by the constitution. If those rights are denied by the federal government or even a majority, this country will in actuality, no longer exist.

 

Media will now focus on distractions to Biden Administration incompetence.

 VACCINATION, MASKS, WEATHER AND NOW ABORTION WILL DOMINATE NEWS

LITTLE MENTION OF AFGHANISTAN, BORDER OR CHAOS IN THE CITIES

Media will now again attempt to report on the issues that the Democrats believe will help their cause.  Vaccinations are still the most divisive issue they will place at the top of the list. Anyone who is reluctant to be vaccinated is an enemy of the people and needs to be disqualified from any activity that they can control. This will escalate when Fauci gets his wish and they begin to force children to be vaccinated. You can expect that while many of the elderly thought the risk/reward was worth the vaccine, many parents, even democrats, will be reluctant to have their children vaccinated when, NO ONE knows the long term effects of this genetically altered vaccine.

Then of course there is the weather, we will see the phrases biblical, historic etc. to describe weather events. This may work on 20 year olds but if you are old enough to witness hurricane events in 1955 and 1970 it will not fly. If you look at the number of hurricane events in the last 10 years, they are actually at low point in human history of the last 100 years. 

We can also expect to be informed that the mask wars are continuing as a real media and government event, while out in the real world, I hardly see any masks anywhere.

Then of course, there is the old stand-by, Abortion. This will require an all out effort to make this the biggest issue before us. It will require all sorts of federal government action and reaction. Why not just let the Texans figure it out for themselves. They do have women in Texas, and they can change any law if they desire. In the mean time, if they they are 9 months pregnant and decide against motherhood, there are still places a couple hours from Texas to satisfy the need.

We can expect Afghanistan, leaked phone calls, the border crisis, chaos in the cities will all be downplayed, unless they can spin that its really all Trump's fault.
