Got this in an email...with all of the suppression of speech we see, it seemed appropriate.

It’s not Justice.

It’s just a pair of hand cuffs.

It’s just a jail cell.

It’s just a wall we are standing you up against.

And the murderous leftists (i.e. democrats) will come up with plenty more “It’s just a” to slowly walk people into slavery.

Ann Barnhardt had this printed under “Poetry Pause: “Boiling the Frog; It’s Just A Mask” by Forrest Marea” a few days ago.

Thank you...it was sent to me by someone off Facebook (don’t do that) and they didn’t know where it came from.

It’s just 2 weeks and it’s just to avoid overwhelming the hospital system.


Yeah, that ship sailed.

This is EXACTLY like the 55 MPH national speed limit, which was passed in 1974 as a gas-saving measure in reaction to the Arab oil embargo. Well, the embargo ended and gas became plentiful, but the 55 limit remained. Why? Because the mission changed and no one got strung up for doing so. The mission changed to safety, but it was a cover for raising revenue and conditioning the population to control. Safety was a complete BS position, since the entire interstate highway system had been designed in the 1950s so that cars of that era (which included a lot of left-overs from the ‘30s and ‘40s) could travel safely from coast-to-coast at 70 MPH, and by the mid-70s we had better brakes, better tires, seat belts and cars made to absorb impact rather than transmit it to people. Yet, the stupid thing lasted until 1995.

Now we have the lockdowns and masks. The initial reasoning was fine - we did need a break for a couple of weeks to “flatten the curve,” but once we did it the mission changed. This time the motivation was political power, not revenue. It is so nakedly in our faces that it cannot be denied - it is about purposely tanking the economy by destroying hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs, just so that Trump loses. I am sick to death of this thing - the FACT is that there is a 0.04% chance of anyone under 70 who gets this disease dying from it (and that with the really crappy medical care of March and April included in that statistic). That’s 1 person in 2500, and the vast majority of that is concentrated in the 60-69 age group and those with diabetes or who are morbidly obese or other “co-factors.” For everyone else under 70, it is probably less than a 1 in 10,000 chance - but the heartless PHUCKERS want to shut down the entire economy to stop that (well, so they say - again, it is really about stopping Trump).

Here’s a link to it. Appears to be the same but now with attribution.

When I was a kid living in Arizona in the early 1960s,I remember the highway speed limit sign that read: “resume at safe speed.” Or something close to that. I also remember watching Nixon on TV announce the 55 mph speed limit. Along with banning Xmas lights that year.

...and who could forget wage and price controls and de-coupling the dollar from gold altogether.

Nixon was no conservative, and what conservative instincts that he had were severely compromised by his compulsion to be liked by the press and media (which was never possible, any more than it is possible for Trump to be liked, no matter what he does).

It’s just a mark . . so you can buy or sell. Everybody’s going to get one . . even the rich. Every person on earth. Take the mark or else.

I am still proud that my first vote for a President was for Richard M. Nixon, because the alternative was what we are facing right now, again.

JUST AN APP. I am not lying, there is an app on my phone that says covid 19 tracker and I did not put it there, my friends showed me they had it too none of us downloaded it, must have come with an update done by the phone company.

I have apple and they have android. Think I am crazy, look on your phone and it will likely be there. I would have made a post about it but dont really know how to make a post.

go to settings and search covid and you will see for your self

I don’t say this often, but I envy the Swedes. Their Covid approach was/is rational and wildly successful.

No masks and no lockdowns. Heaven.

Social Distancing (God, I hate that term) wasn’t a problem for the Swedes, since they pretty much stay to themselves anyway.
