Out in the middle of all this water and woods all around and maybe half dozen other paddlers scattered out over the entire lake, there's "karen" paddling along with a f'ing mask on!!

Well, here I am last week at over 10,000 feet elevation deep in the High Uinta Mountains. Look just over my shoulder. He wasn't the only one I saw up there wearing a face diaper either. It really makes you wonder if these people will ever come back down to reality.

I hike up a local "mountain" (1100 foot elevation change) about once a week. Last time I was going up and down I saw all of two people. One was wearing a mask. In Arizona, during the day, when the UV will give you a sunburn in minutes and destroys plastics.

Our RINO governor has shut down bars, waterparks, tubing and gyms until further notice. A gym successfully challenged him in court, so he appealed the court's order to provide SOME criteria for the gyms to re-open! Now you can still go to restaurants that have bars, casinos, public pools not at water parks, and Lake Havasu (basically a giant party on the water).

I understand that he apparently has never seen the inside of a gym, judging from his appearance and wouldn't personally want to go somewhere he'd have to take off his shirt. I got no explanation for the bar ban. Maybe he thinks that's where the deplorables go to drink.

The schools aren't going to re-open until we have two weeks of declining case numbers, EXCLUDING the current week, which coincidentally had declining case numbers, so at least 3 weeks from now (we would normally have started school by now). School age people (up to 24 years of age) have fatalities in single digits a week, out of 80 million students in this country.

The video of Pelosi and Woodruff illustrates perfectly how weak minded Pelosi and most of the Democrats are. They sense the slightest pushback in the form a question that is even slightly challenging in nature and they can’t take it. They can’t express themselves in the arena of ideas.

They want to have their say and that’s it. No discussion. None of these Democrats or any Republicans that I can think of could withstand one hour of the onslaught Donald Trump has endured for nearly four years now. Not only does he endure it he revels in it and then trolls them even more on the back side. This is what drives them to the brink of insanity.

Border chief says illegal immigrants shirking duty to world by spreading coronavirus

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, August 6, 2020

The administration’s top border official said Thursday that illegal immigrants have a duty to the world to stop coming to the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying some of them are making the trip knowing they have the disease and risk spreading it far and wide.

Mark Morgan, acting head of Customs and Border Protection, said illegal border crossings rose about 25% in July compared with a month earlier.

Mr. Morgan said dozens are packed inside stash houses and motel rooms, or stuffed into trunks or tractor-trailers, which he called “perfect incubators for COVID-19.”


CBP encountered nearly 41,000 people attempting to enter the U.S. without permission last month, up from fewer than 33,000 in June. It’s the highest number recorded so far this year, and it signals the end to a lull in illegal immigration. Numbers plummeted in April and May during the height of the coronavirus crisis.

More than 90% of those nabbed are being processed and shipped out of the country immediately, with a two-hour turnaround for most.

The others are, in most instances, special humanitarian cases, such as children who appear to have been abused or trafficked.

The expulsions are happening because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention triggered part of the Public Health Act, which the administration says allows rejection of any unauthorized migrants.

From March through the end of July, a little more than 98,000 have been expelled under those powers, known as Title 42 because of the section of law they are written into.

By contrast, only about 8,500 were accepted into CBP custody as regular illegal immigrants.

Good grief I am getting tired of my fellow Melbournians stupid shit.

36 days to the end of stage 4 lockdown.

What's becoming apparent during this particular frenzy of stupid, is that Melbourne is becoming a tale of two cities.

The inner suburbs, populated by the progressive and affluent, have a new religion of mask wearing and shutting down businesses.
Borders on the edge of torpidity. Not a new quality or condition mind you.

If you have an individual thought or expression on that side, you feel like your behind the lines of demarcation.

Meanwhile in the other suburbs, the west and south-east, many appear to have ceased to give a rat's patootie.
Stopped listening or caring.

Stay at home orders ignored.
The harder the lockdown edict, the more some are resisting.

Since the virus escaped quarantine, with no real ability to track/trace the early spread, the measures that followed to counter and suppress are more reflective of a political infection, with no idea where the virus is coming from or going to.

"Where's Waldo" has a challenger for that position.

As patients are transferred between hospitals, there are differing protocols.

Health databases are inadequate.

And allowing at risk people, who were waiting on test results, to go forth, exercise and mingle in the community.

I can go on and on.

To wind this vent up, the public Health officials, are the ones who should resign.

Just wait until you're in day 106 of stage 82.

We have a new order, apparently issued at the county level, to wear face diaper abortions inside buildings (grocery stores and the like). I have some on hand and take one with me but don't put it on. Except for one checker-outer in a Kroger - as I was paying and about to leave anyway, and whom I ignored - nobody has said anything. I did play the game while voting in yesterday's primary election.

I'm constantly amazed at just how stupid so many can be!

Hey, don't forget, boys and girls- trust the stats and trust the testing!

Ohio gov tests negative for COVID hours after testing positive. Wha' happened??


No, really, the numbers are accurate and the testing is accurate!! Let every decision you make pivot on this bullshit err the data.

DeSoto Co. coroner says coronavirus death numbers in Mississippi may be misleading

DESOTO CO., Miss. (WLBT) - A coroner’s Facebook post has garnered attention after he said just because someone may be positive for the coronavirus at the time of their death does not necessarily mean COVID was their primary cause of death.

DeSoto County coroner and medical examiner Josh Pounders said that, in his experience, the individuals who have passed away while also testing positive for COVID-19 have had major medical problems prior to contracting the virus and that most of the deaths have been from those over the age of 75.

According to the MSDH, 62% of coronavirus-related deaths in the state are those over the age of 70.

“Many of these covid deaths are of people who were on hospice care with a terminal diagnoses,” Pounders wrote. “Some of these deaths the person was [positive] for covid but had no symptoms of covid prior to death but died of other medical problems.”
He then claimed that the Department of Health demands that these deaths be classified as a COVID death without reporting that many of these individuals were terminal prior to testing positive for the virus.

In his opinion, this has lead to “unnecessary fear” in the public and has caused stress to those across the country and the world.

Pounders said that because of this fear, he has seen a drastic increase in cardio/pulmonary death which he attributes to two things: stress due to the pandemic and the concern of leaving the home due to false reporting by politicians.

“They see what the news reporter who has no knowledge of what he is reporting broadcast to the world,” Pounders said. “They become scared to leave home and go to the hospitals for fear of a virus when they need medical care for a more serious condition and ultimately have a cardiac arrest at home.”

To conclude his post, which has been shared more than two-thousand times, Pounders stated that any loss of life is a tragedy and that he sympathizes with the family of any individual who has succumbed to the virus.

However, he believes “that public fear and the government reporting only partial information is misleading and should not be."

Pounders said the virus is real and that the public should protect the elderly and those who are frail but that life for the average, healthy majority must go on “so that chaos in our community and across the country does not escalate and ultimately cause more deaths than any virus ever would.”

To date, DeSoto County has seen 3,574 cases of coronavirus and has reported 30 deaths.

That's a public health bushfire.

The health ... and political infection agenda ... rages out of control.

Trust but verify.

The good doctor had better be prepared for the "powers" to begin their personal attacks and attempts to destroy him for his failure to keep the party line.
I wish there were more honest doctors and officials like this to come forward.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio addressed constituents’ concerns about public transit during the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday — by telling them not to buy a car.

Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, many New Yorkers are concerned about the dangers of being wedged into a vehicle in close proximity with strangers. Mayor Bill de Blasio was seemingly dismissive of the idea, focusing his rhetoric on the city’s control of the pandemic and rejection of “the past.”

“My advice to New Yorkers is: ‘Do not buy a car,’” de Blasio said. “Cars are the past. The future is going to be mass transit.”

The mayor further asserted he would “never own a car again.”

It is important to note that the subway systems account for roughly 40% of the Big Apple’s revenue

Michigan added to the way that deaths are recorded. Yesterday they added if you die within 30 days of a positive test and your death certificate says natural caused you died of Covid.

That particular picture was at Mirror Lake, though we also hiked up to Ruth Lake that week as well (perfect little hike for a four year old). This was during the week so much less people around.

Took a motorcycle ride for breakfast this am, hit the Mason Jar in Donna Vista FL, population 39, yeeee hawww!

Not a mask in the place, no harassment, no Ken/Karens, it's in Lake County, rode over to the HD dealer, not a lot of folks there but again, no masks anywhere there....

Folks in Mt Dora walking around without them out on boats without the mask.

It was like going back in time!

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...-homeless-in-hotels/

The California Department of Housing and Community Development is using $100 million of the $550 million it got from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund to put homeless people in hotel rooms or other facilities in San Francisco as a way to allegedly curb the spread of the disease.

The state’s Homekey program announced the millions of taxpayer dollars available as grants to pay for the housing and that the deadline to apply is December 30.

Further to sdy's post on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio "don't buy a car", the future is mass transit ... says the Mayor who is chauffeured ...

Not sure if this the Mayor outside Gracie Mansion or the Park Slope YMCA.

Mind you, I can see that a mini van is leaning towards mass transit.

Indeed.
