LOL. IT SHOULDN’T BE SO FUNNY, BUT THINK OF HOW MANY “STUDIES” THEY’VE DONE TO CLAIM WE’RE STUPID AND CRAZY AND…  Does Liberalism Cause Mental Illness?

YEAH, BUT WHEN YOU GIVE THOSE, PEOPLE YELL YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DIE. NEWSFLASH: YOU’RE MORTAL. WE ALL ARE:  Some Rational Perspectives on COVID-19.

AND THAT ALONE SHOULD BE ENOUGH NOT TO VOTE FOR BIDEN. EVER:  NY Times Changed Biden Sexual Assault Story at Request of Campaign.

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR MOTHER. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR FATHER. THEY CAN NEITHER SEND YOU TO YOUR ROOM HOUSE, NOR SHOULD THEY GIVE YOU AN ALLOWANCE. AND IT’S CERTAINLY NOT THEIR JOB TO PROTECT YOU FROM DISEASE. WASH YOUR HANDS. IF YOU’RE VULNERABLE WATCH YOUR INTERACTIONS. AND FOR THE LOVE OF BOB, GROW UP:  Enough Already With The Help.

BECAUSE ORANGE MAN BAD. SO CAN WE DEFUND THIS TRAVESTY OF A JOKE OF A PRETENSE ALREADY?  NPR In The Jihad On Hydroxychloroquine.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU GIVE PEOPLE A LOT OF POWER. THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY LIKE POWER ALWAYS GO OFF THE RAILS. NOT SOMETIMES. ALWAYS!  Michigan Governor Uses Her SledgeHammer To Ban Everything.

HOW FORTUNATE. AS I RECALL, THEY ALSO CLEARED THE USSR OF GENOCIDE:  Biden Summarily Cleared Of Sexual Assault By NYT.

LOOK, THE MARXISTS WERE FASCINATED WITH “SCIENTIFIC GOVERNMENT” AND WE KNOW HOW THAT WORKED. THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO GIVE DOCTORS THE KEYS TO OUR ECONOMY:  Anthony Fauci Wrong About A Whole Lot.

Okay, if you guys want a doctor to put in charge of the economy, I have one among my “kids” (fans who are young enough to be my kids) and a couple that comment on my blog.  They, at least, will err on the side of individual freedom.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  Pandemic likely to exceed Great Recession in number of bankruptcies.

It’s almost like hitting the economy with a hammer is bad for the economy, or something.

A THOUSAND DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST (AKA HAPPY FUN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HURT YOU AND TAKE YOUR STUFF…. DEMOCRATICALLY) HEARTS JUST BROKE: Bernie Sanders endorses Joe Biden after dropping out of the 2020 race.

I AM NOT A GOVERNOR. BUT I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.  WHICH MEANS I’M AS GOOD AS ANY OF THEM AND BETTER THAN MOST (SINCE I’M NOT A POLITICIAN.)  AND I’M TELLING YOU, YA’LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR PLANS, BUT AS FOR ME AND MY PEOPLE:  Olly Olly Oxen Free.

AS I SAID (ALSO, CUOMO, DUDE, YOU NEVER EVEN CLOSED THE SUBWAY!):  Cuomo, northeastern governors announce ‘coordinated’ regional effort to reopen amid coronavirus.

EVERYONE IS RUSHING FOR THE EXITS (SUNG TO THE TUNE OF “EVERYBODY IS WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND. YES, I’M DATING MYSELF. SHUT UP):  COVID19 update, April 13, 2020: Italy and Israel grappling with exit strategies.

ARE YOU RUNNING IN FEAR FROM THE ACTUAL THREAT, OR FROM GUILT AND PERSONAL DREAD?  We Risk Killing Civilization in Our Panicked Fear of Individual Death.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER THE LIES. AND NOT BELIEVE THEM:  Modeling COVID-19 and the Lies of Multiculturalism.

AND THEN IT WAS PROMPTLY FORGOTTEN, BECAUSE ONCE THE ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION TAKES DOWN ORANGE MAN BAD NO ONE WILL EVER BE INDICTED MUCH LESS PUNISHED FOR THIS: While you were focused on the pandemic, it was revealed the FBI knew the Steele Dossier against Trump contained Russian disinformation.

Heck, no one will lose his or her job….

THE LATEST IN L. JAGI LAMPLIGHTER’S SERIES (KIND OF HARRY POTTER FOR GIRLS, AND QUITE GOOD IN THAT NICHE):  The Unbearable Heaviness of Remembering (Books of Unexpected Enlightenment Book 5).

…She has discovered she has an older sister named Amber, who was stolen-away as a baby. Nobody but Rachel remembers her—not even their parents. Rachel is determined to find Amber and restore her to the family. But how?

She doubts it will be as easy as overhearing the name Rumpelstiltskin.

Meanwhile, Rachel has bigger problems. Wild fey have invaded the campus. If they so much as bewitch even one more student, Roanoke Academy will be forced to close its doors. Rachel and her friends must solve this menace before the academy cancels more classes or, worse, the Year of the Dragon Ball!

But she has hope—if she can keep the school open—because, as Rachel’s late grandmother told her, Masquerade balls are a time of wonder… when anything is possible.

MOSTLY, I BET THE ARTIST IS AFRAID PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT WHERE HE CAME FROM. THIS IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY — OR EVEN PARTICULARLY — A NEW YORK THING, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THEY HAVE MORE OF THESE SORTS. OUR ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENT REQUIRES THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD. BECAUSE IT’S A CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT LACKING IN IMAGINATION:  Judgement.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT:  Proactive to Punishment.

Note that in the comments, someone I remember as being a whole lot saner says something about my “selling out” to the idea this is no big deal or some such nonsense.
Yeah. I sold out. I sold out to the idea that destroying the economy will cost us a lot more in lives, ultimately, than this will, even if we’d lost double the number of lives we’ve lost so far. We’ll lose them to poverty, despair, government take over of insolvent hospitals (because they were ordered to stop performing medicine while waiting for COVID-19 patients who never came.) But mostly we’ll lose them to starvation and sheer inability to get what’s needed when it’s needed. Because the state sucks at doing that. No planned economy EVER has managed to keep its entire population well fed, let alone comfortable, let alone happy.  The free market manages the first routinely.  But sure, let’s kill millions to save 100k. Or because 100k MIGHT die. Or something.
You know what, I am rather nostalgic for the days in which I was merely accused of being in the pay of the patriarchy, the Zionists or the vast right wing conspiracy.

IT’S JUST A DRESS REHEARSAL RAG:  The Green New Nose Under the Tent.

SURE. WHY NOT. FREDO’S BROTHER HAS LOTS OF MEMORABLE MOMENTS FOR CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS, AFTER ALL.  TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN, THAT IS:  Poll: Majority of Democrats Want to Replace Biden With Andrew Cuomo.

GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS INSANE TO BEGIN WITH:  Federal Court Prohibits Louisville Mayor from Banning Easter Sunday Drive-in Church Service.

YEP. TURNS OUT THE APOCALYPSE COS-PLAY CAN BRING ABOUT DEATH AND PAIN. WORSE, IT CAN TURNS INTO IDIOTS BEFORE KILLING US:  Fear: The Mind-Killer.

CALL IT WHAT IT IS: THIS IS A GREEN NEW DEAL DRESS REHEARSAL.  ONLY THAT EXPLAINS THE THINGS THEY ARE DOING.  EVERY CONTRADICTION HE HIGHLIGHTS MAKES PERFECT SENSE IF YOU THINK OF THIS AS DISCOURAGING FUEL CONSUMPTION, DISCOURAGING BIRTH, ENCOURAGING THE CUTTING DOWN OF THE POPULATION. THAT’S ALL THIS IS. THE GREEN NEW DEAL BY OTHER MEANS.  AND IF MILLIONS DIE OF STARVATION — AND MILLIONS WILL DIE OF STARVATION ALL OVER THE WORLD — THIS WINTER?  HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT THE GREENS THINK OF HUMANS? THEY’LL BE VERY GLAD TO RID THE EARTH OF THIS PLAGUE. US:  Horowitz: It’s time to end the great American COVID-19 police state.

BEHOLD HOW SHOCKED MY SHOCKED FACE IS:  It has started: Convict let out on coronavirus concerns arrested for assault and robbery.
