Here's another extremely disturbing story about the jackboots showing up to a church in full battle rattle. 40 OF THEM!!!
I wonder if the pastor had to point out where he was hiding the Christians under the floorboards.

As it turns out, he wanted 30k ventilators, but needed 5k. Sure am glad no one had to pick the 26,000 people who were going to die. Roll Eyes
You can't make this shit up.

It's truly sad that otherwise sane Americans have fallen for the public health gambit. Rest assured the leftist now have their outline for erasing all your pesky rights. While this occurred, many of us exchanged charts, graphs, and nonsensical data about the boogey man. The nation actually applauded this ridiculous overreach...pretty nauseating.

Our shitwit governor in Wisconsin just extended our lock down until May 26th.

WI Governor Extends Lockdown

We have only had 3800 cases (mainly in Milwaukee county) and many counties have ZERO cases.

This governor fancies himself an educator and yet he just shut down the school year for every kid in the state.

Let the protests begin....

All these “lockdowns” are being used in the hopes of keeping President Trump from being re-elected. Period. What they couldn’t do through unending investigations they’re going to try to do through economic damage.

I’m sure that is true of too darned many of them. I suspect that at least some are honestly trying to do the right thing. The problem is that instead of coming from a place of seeing citizens as adults who should be educated and advised, they see citizens as children who must be told what to do.

I hope that all this nonsense settles down before we have a national shortage of rope.

After yesterdays protest, the Evil Queen said protesters were endangering the public, because many of them had used gas pumps to drive to Lansing and the hoses may have been contaminated.
She even found some dude who claimed it happened to him.
Fun with Numbers:
Upper Peninsula Population: 311,361
(using 2010 census numbers, likely higher now)
C-19 cases in the UP as of 3 PM Yesterday: 55
with 9 of those deceased.
But the other 311,306 of us seem to be ok!
We just cant go anywhere!

It has long been recognized here that common courtesy—if not an actual rule—is to include in a post some indication of what a link is about rather than expecting us to blindly click on it to find out. Just as poor writing indicates that the poster doesn’t really care about what he’s saying*, a link with no other information is simply a more up to date version of that: “Yeah, I don’t really care if anyone follows up on this, but at least I added to my post count,” is how it might be interpreted.

The post with the clown picture, link, and nothing else was a perfect example of that.

Retaliation? China Suddenly Toughens Export Rules, Freezing Critical Medical Goods Destined For US

https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...al-goods-destined-us

Just hours after President Trump, General Milley, and now the mainstream US media, increase the rhetoric volume on the source of the "Chinese Virus", with questions about leaks from the Wuhan Lab growing louder, American firms producing medical goods in China have been slapped new export restrictions, stranding much of the supplies in warehouses across the country.

This new hurdle comes at a time when shortages of masks, test kits, and other medical equipment have materialized in many hospital systems across the US.

Suppliers, brokers, and State Department memos reveal that large sums of protective gear lay on pallets in Chinese warehouses, unable to receive necessary shipping authorizations to the US, reported The Wall Street Journal.

For example, 1.4 million COVID-19 test kits sit in a warehouse in China, unable to ship from PerkinElmer Inc.'s Suzhou factory because "it lacks certification required by the new rules," a State Department memo read, first reviewed by The Journal.

Another memo said Shanghai officials told 3M that the city is overly reliant on 3M-95 masks, and it would be up to Beijing to lift export restrictions.

State Department memos said the new restrictions had created "bottlenecks" for the US at a time when medical supplies are urgently needed.

The export restrictions have "disrupted established supply chains for medical products just as these products were most needed for the global response to COVID-19," according to a memo this week.

"Every single day we don't have the proper protective equipment is a new health-care worker exposed, is a new hole in the ship that is our current hospital system and ICU bed structure," said Illinois Deputy Gov. Christian Mitchell, who leads the state's efforts in acquiring medical supplies.

The Journal notes how China has created fresh "logjams" for companies trying to export medical supplies to the US.

This has undoubtedly strained ties between the Communist government and the Trump administration.

There are some unanswered questions we have – first, why would Beijing suddenly delay critical medical goods that are knowingly used to combat the virus.

Second, could the new export restrictions be a punishment by Beijing? And, if so, why would Beijing want to punish the Trump administration? Unless they know that President Trump is setting the narrative to blame the Wuhan lab.

Click on the damned link if you want to know what the link is and if you've ever owned a television you should know what the picture means.
Or are you intentionally obtuse like when someone posts something about a celebrity and some a-hole always has to reply, "who?" so show everyone how cool they are.


No need to be an asshole, maybe just take two seconds to describe what you are posting a link to.

Is it really that hard to do? Even just the title of whatever it was would give someone a clue if it was worth reading or not.

Not taking sides, OR being an asshole here, but on a PC all you have to do is hover your mouse over the link to see the title of the linked article/web page. That said, I assume you're SOL if you're viewing on a phone, and that won't work. Just Sayin' Wink

So now in PA Gov. Wolfie ordered that everyone must wear a mask to get into "essential" businesses.

This shit has gone completely off the rails.
