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

It’s not Justice.
And it’s not Just Us.

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.

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).

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 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.

Oh my goodness!!

Who knew there were so many Drama Queens at FreeRepublic until COVID-19 came along? Over a stupid mask!?!?

Where were y’all when we’re forced to wear orange to hunt, even deep into our own land?

Where was the out cry over seat belts?

Anti-maskers are more angry over the fact that they’re not wearing mask than people who would prefer they do. Madness!

Find something more meaningful to flip out about than a mask.

No one outside of your little cliche takes you seriously.

I mean, a small engine mechanic claiming to understand stats and the bio makeup of COVID-19 better than 2 large State college educated Governors who are loyal Conservatives that are surrounded by more college educated Doctors is totally laughable!

Just nutty stuff.

As in all matters, never, I repeat, never be interviewed by the police or in this case health department persons. Tell them you are a great friend of the police, the department of health or whatever, but do not answer any question other than providing identification.

It is virtually impossible for an enforcement person to prove you are not exempt from the mask requirement due to your health, activity or destination other than your answer to their questions:

“Anton, do you have a respiratory illness that prevents you from wearing a mask? Uh, no.”

Wrong answer. They cannot get your medical records.

For most of this year I have been watching people show their Dollar Tree hauls on Youttube to see what I might want if my store ever gets them in stock. About 2 months ago several started showing a 2 pack of disposable masks and I told myself I would buy one pack if they did get them here.

Well as soon as I walked in the store this morning they had the masks where they usually have special buys. So I grabbed one and looked at the package, and to my surprise they were not from China but Mexico.

At home I opened it and tried one on. Less than 30 seconds of it on and I was having issues breathing and my face was very hot. They will be modified in the event a mask is required to be worn in my area.

Our Walmart got masks in last week. 3 different boxes of 25 from different areas of China for about $18 and a bag of 50 for $30.

The also sell single made in USA reusuables for $7.50 with supposedly a “portion” donated but the box didn’t say how much. They also have a two pack of reusable for $4. These were in the fitting room/ accessories like belts and gloves area. The 2 pack made in El Salvador I think.

With my various health issues I probably should wear a mask but with only 3 known cases in my county I will take my chances.

To be honest I would not wear one even if I could.
