Well, take heart. Pretty soon the people wearing masks will be the sanctimonious rebels against the clueless masses and who are standing up for truth, justice, and the American Way. Then they can be the ones coming here with post after post telling us how people react to them and think they’re the crazy ones.

What's the point of this? Even the Soviet Union had work camps. No one ever wanted to rule a broke, unworking populace locked in their homes.

Are they so arrogant they can't admit they made a mistake, it's not as bad as they thought and we should move on? Even if you take the death #'s at face value- It doesn't make any sense.

Have you ever seen any of them admit they were wrong? No they double down every single time. They follow the rule that repeating lies often enough makes enough people believe them.

This is now 100% about preventing an economic recovery before the election so they can blame Trump for "doing nothing" to prevent it. That they would stoop to this level and intentionally trash the economy as much as possible for a political victory is the most cynical and treasonous action I have ever seen in this country.

And they will be happy to keep tens of millions of Americans on unemployment welfare to prevent them from going back to work and buy their votes.

I agree that's their plan, but I think this shit is going to blow back on them big time. People are getting good and fed up with it and the more the country opens, the more pissed off people are going to be in places still under lockdown orders. You're seeing it everyday right now, just give it a few more weeks and some better weather. I'll bet there's shots fired before it's over with.

Our governor is actually opening up more stuff tomorrow than expected. Restaurants, bars, retail businesses, gyms, salons, state parks. All but three or four counties will be opening up, with guidelines of course.

Not saying you aren't right, but that's not making your point.


That’s not quite accurate. While I can’t speak to everyone on that list Detective Sergeant Randy French was a friend of mine and we worked together at a Troy PD before I went to the feds. His death is being treated as a line of duty death. It is believed that he contracted Covid-19 while on duty. So for the same reason that 9/11 cancer related deaths are considered line of duty deaths, so is Det Sgt French’s Covid related death.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

More ass-hattery from Ralph "Joseph Mengele" Northam." Northam and other socialist democrats are resisting reopening the economy because it is their goal to make as many people economically equal as possible. In other words - poor.

Who Has Ralph Northam's Ear?


Why appoint a task force if you’re going to ignore its recommendations?

That’s what many Virginia business leaders wondered last week when they saw Gov. Ralph Northam’s arbitrary rules for reopening the commonwealth.

On April 24, the governor merrily announced the formation of a “diverse” 24-member “Covid-19 Business Task Force” to advise him on how to safely reopen the commonwealth. The group included owners of a brewery, a vineyard, a bakery, a campground, a gym as well as representatives from Kings Dominion, the Hampton Coliseum, Walmart, the hospitality industry and others.

“These are Virginians who are thinking every day about how to protect the health of their staff and the communities in which they operate,” boasted Northam at the time. “They understand that our public health and business interests are aligned—we must take measures that both ensure the safety and confidence of consumers and prevent the spread of disease. Their input will continue to be critical as we plan a safe, consistent, successful path forward.”

As it turned out, their input was neither critical nor heeded.

According to The Richmond Times-Dispatch, a number of task force members were as shocked as the rest of us when they saw Northam’s rules for reopening that were unveiled last Friday.

For instance, Northam decreed that restaurants with outdoor dining could reopen, but indoor dining would remain shuttered.

Restaurant owners who had come up with detailed plans to make indoor spaces safe were livid.

I don’t often find myself agreeing with Virginia Beach developer and hospitality magnate Bruce Thompson, but when he’s right, he’s right.

"The recommendations were to socially distance tables, total sanitization protocols before and after guests, no bar service, no standing, and reservations strongly encouraged. It was also discussed that there would be no gathering inside the premises, no party sizes larger than 8, and all servers to wear masks and gloves," Thompson, a member of the governor’s task force, told the TD.

"Outside dining was never mentioned much less restricting dining to only outside. That was a total surprise to the task force members.”

Talk about picking winners and losers. Seems restaurants without patios are now destined to go broke.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Thompson said he’d been in daily contact with the governor last week and was floored by Notham’s decision to keep the beaches closed.

“On Friday night, I asked him what the hell happened,” Thompson fumed, “ and we haven’t had a lot of conversation since then.”

At his press conference last week, Northam was asked about his curious decisions and the governor brushed off the question with his trademark arrogance.

“Collectively, we have made that decision. Rather than relitigate that here, that’s the decision we’ve made.”

It’s not just the task force that was left out of the process. The governor hasn’t been huddling with city leaders much, either.

Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer told me that the last one-on-one conversation he had with the governor was on March 30, hours before Northam announced that he was restricting access to the beaches through June 10.

Dyer said that during that phone call he pleaded with Northam not to close the beaches altogether.

After requesting an in-person meeting with Northam, Dyer and other Beach officials and Thompson were granted a video conference with the governor last Thursday. They presented him with detailed plans to reopen the beaches safely.

“He seemed comfortable with our plans,” Dyer told me.

The next day, however, Beach officials were flabbergasted to learn - from watching Northam’s press conference - that the beaches would remain closed to sunbathers. As usual, they were not given a heads up about the governor’s decision.

Someone needs to remind the intransigent Northam that Virginia Beach is the commonwealth’s largest city and its lifeblood is the tourist industry. Local leaders have a better grasp of the situation than the governor does from Richmond.

So far the city has seen just 18 deaths from Covid-19. Every loss is lamentable, but that number is small. It works out to just 4 deaths per 100,000.

The Beach shouldn’t have to wait to open its beaches until Fairfax brings its numbers under control or the Eastern Shore solves its chicken plant outbreaks.

There’s another reason Northam ought to listen to Bobby Dyer. Not only was Dyer just named one of the top three mayors in the nation by Newsmax, but he has a unique perspective on the plight of the newly unemployed.

He’s one of them.

Dyer was furloughed three weeks ago from his job with Encompass Health Systems, where he was an in-home physical therapist. Northam’s ban on elective surgeries was one of the factors that helped devastate the PT industry.

To stay financially afloat until the need for physical therapists resumes, Dyer says he’s had to liquidate a retirement account to augment his modest mayoral salary.

Not that he’s complaining.

“My problems pale in comparison to so many other people in Virginia Beach who are really struggling,” Dyer said somberly.

Dyer and Northam are set to speak by phone Friday morning, perhaps to come to some sort of compromise on opening the beaches before Memorial Day.

Let’s hope the plan does not include anything insane like requiring masks on the beach.

If history is any predictor, the mayor and stressed-out Beach business owners will learn the fate of the city’s beaches by watching the governor’s Friday press conference.

This is no way to run a commonwealth. No wonder Northam was one of four governors given a failing grade for his response to the Covid-19 crisis by The Wall Street Journal.

his is both funny and sad at the same time. The guy is clearly mocking the whole having to wear a mask situation. The pajama boys in the store really need to get over it.



Dillon Police looking for man seen wearing KKK hood in grocery store

DILLON, Colo. — Dillon Police are asking for help finding a man who wore a racist mask into a Colorado grocery store, according to Summit Daily.

Photos and video show a man wearing a hood similar to those worn by the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) apparently inside the City Market in Dillon.

The manager of the City Market in Dillon said the man came into the store wearing the hood around 12:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon. She said the man was asked to leave the store.

Another customer who was in the store took a photo and video of the man.

In the video, the man appears to be talking to other customers while holding a basket and a half-gallon of milk. After a few seconds, he appears to shrug and then walk away.

The customer who took the video said the man argued with other customers and employees who approached him until he eventually went outside while continuing to argue with store staff.

Dillon Police Chief Mark Heminghous told Summit Daily that officers were dispatched on a report of trespassing but that the man had left the area just before they arrived.

He also said the department is working to identify the man using surveillance footage to determine his vehicle.

A statement from City Market says:

"At City Market, we train our associates to embrace diversity and inclusion and to show respect to every customer and one another. We ask our customers to respect these values as well when in our stores. Our store leaders are empowered to swiftly and respectfully address anyone who disregards these values, which includes blatant symbols of hate and intolerance."

I see that you sell high-grade manure as well. "Embrace diversity". Freakin' fertilizer. Meaningless PC blather.
