"You Matter To Me" (opens in separate window)

how stupid are you?

friday, may 15th, 2020

You believe that the COVID-19 is more deadly than poverty, more deadly than cancer, more deadly than the common ubiquitous flu, you're either stupid or afraid of your own shadow. And we certainly don’t want you in uniform defending democracy in the heat of battle. If the experts are correct about the COVID-19 being a contrived opportunity to accomplish what could never be accomplished by other mean, and you are afraid to touch anything that isn’t part of your body, than you are either listening to the wrong experts, are a snow flake, or dumber than a box of rocks.

If you do an internet search you will find a long list of articles that insist that the COVID-19 deaths are NOT exaggerated. You might never or at least you may have to search through fifty pages to find the opposing viewpoint. Whenever you see one viewpoint showing up on Google one after another and you can’t find the opposing viewpoint, just assume that the opposing viewpoint is true. If you form your options based on Google search, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn that I want to sell you.

Everyone who dies for the time being who might have the COVID-19 is being consider a death from the virus. It’s not FOX News or the BNJ that reported this first, it was non other than Dr. Brix. It was the scarf queen who said “Anyone in U.S. who dies with COVID-19, regardless of what else may be wrong, is now being recorded as a COVID-19 19 death.” Whoops!

On the other hand people who have had the COVID-19 and recovered without medical intervention are not being counted. So the real total infection is orders of magnitude higher than you are bing told, and the death rate is very much lower, perhaps lower than the common flu. That’s a good thing. It should be obvious for obvious reasons but considering who the target audience is for this piece, it had to be mentioned. The more people get sick the faster herd immunity will protect us. Also the ration of infections to death is much lower and that’s also a good thing. What this means is that if the reported numbers are believed the COVID-19 is much scarier. Oh that’s a good idea, rule by fear. It’s historic and works well when reason fails. Scare them into submission. And then put them in jail to emphasize how serious and necessary these ridiculous restrictions are.

If the object is to destroy the economy which means putting people out of work, destroying small businesses, or vote Trump out of office, there is no better way then to create a morbid fear of death from the COVID-19.

Death or lockdown? Seems reasonable to lockdown rather than die. Who is going to go out in the street when enemy bombers are dropping bombs in the streets? No rational person would. But if you told everyone to stay in the cellar because at any time enemy bombers might fly over and drop deadly bombs, how many people would be okay with that? Only stupid, scared people.

So you say the COVID-19 and a sneak attack are apples and oranges? Anyone who compares these two things is stupid and doesn’t understand the distinction. No, actually you are stupid if you make that argument, because it is a distinction without a difference. The fact is that when you go outside you have no idea if the person next to you has the virus, but you are treating everyone as if they do, and admit it you are afraid of them. You might even try holding your breath as they pass within the magic six feet of you. You’re scared and you don’t know diddly.

The bombing analogy works this way, It would be like running for shelter every time you hear an airplane, but later discover that the plane was there to save you. It’s just stupid, period, and if you are afraid of everyone you see, you are just as stupid. Basically if you are not suffering from something that can kill you if stressed by one more factor, if you don’t have some comorbidity, you’re not going to die from the COVID-19, but if you are out of work long enough and don’t have food to eat you are going to die of starvation. Take your choice. In which case the doctor should list the cause of death: “Stupidity”.

A Day In The Life.

Up at 5a on Friday, I turned-up the heat – a balmy and dreary 49° outside – had a couple smokes in the garage while the coffee brewed, did my DR (Type 1 Diabetic Routine - Blood Sugar Level Test and Sliding-Scale Insulin Shot), applied the CBD Level-5 Pro Sports Hemp Ointment to my neck and shoulder, did the 13-pill regimen, had Cap'n Crunch w/ Blueberries for breakfast, and checked the weather and news.

Temps were dropping fast as the t-storm front moved-in, and would get very much colder thru Sunday, and people were scrambling to bring-in and cover tender vegetables and annuals; my hardened-off perennials were okay as is. The cold rain started around 8:30a.

I had a short list of things to get at Weis Market, and after posting the "Chris Plante Show" to FR, I left at 10a to get the stuff, and get it done for the day, before the heavy rains arrived, later. The market was packed, lines were long and checkout was not too bad, in the self-checkout lines. I wished a number of people a "Happy 75th VE Day", and most didn't even know what I was talking about, especially the younger ones who were never taught true American History in the Communist-run public school system. Pity.

Home by 11a, I unpacked and picked-up listening to the "CP Show" until 12, when I posted the graphics for the "Rush Limbaugh Show" thread on FR. After the midday DR, I had lunch, a 3hr snooze with my phone ringer set to "Mute", and was back up by 4p, or so. Sherry had left a message, so I went out on to the front porch, for a smoke and a bottle of Bai® Socorro Sweet™ SuperTea™, to let the cold air wake me up, and return her call.

The cold temps and rain continued all day, so I just stayed in. I did my midday DR, had lunch, muted my c ell, and grabbed a few hours snooze on the couch. With "the Curse of Oak Island" and "Ancient Aliens" on History, I chose "Expedition Unknown" on Discovery until 7, did my evening DR and had dinner. I continued watching new episodes of "EU" until 10, did the 8-pill routine and unplugged.

I slept-in until 7a on Saturday, to a sunny, but very cold 26°, with 2" of rain in the garden gauge. I fired-up the furnace right away, had a couple smokes in the garage, did the morning DR, made French Roast Espresso Coffee and had breakfast. I listened to the news and weather forecast. I picked-up Becky for a trip to Mt Rose Cemetery, to honor Mom for Mother's Day at The Chapel of Memories, where She & Dad are interred, and where Becky and I both have niches in the small mausoleum. After paying our respects, we stopped at a local landmark roadside produce/garden center stand, and got a couple things. I dropped her back off at her condo around 12:30p.

Lake effect cells passed thru the area all day, dropping flurries and some light snow, but nothing stuck to any surfaces.

After my DR, I had a 6" Turkey Hoagie, fell asleep for 2hrs, and watched some TV until 6:45p. I did the evening DR, had Smoked Salmon & Baked Beans, and continued watching old gearhead shows on MotorTreand.go until 10:30, did the nightly DR, took my pill regimen and quit for the day. Temps were already dropping into the low-30s, and we'd have another frosty night ahead.

Awake at 7:30a on Sunday, I quickly upped the condo heat – it was a nippy 31° outside – started some new, distinctive, dark roast French Roast Coffee, had a couple of smokes in the warming-up garage, made simple Rye Toast and Sunny-Side-Up Eggs for breakfast and grabbed the usual morning shower. I checked the weather and news; we were lucky that the Mother's Day snowstorm passed north of us. I had 2 loads of laundry to do, and a full dishwasher screaming for a bath, too.

Jeeeez, I'm bored. Nowhere to go and nothing to do. So I made-up some condo chores and worked on them for a while.

I had errands to do tomorrow, so I made-up a list of stuff to get done, and on Tuesday, the 2019 Jeep HEMI V8 goes into Thornton Jeep for its twin black-out tailpipe tips, on the existing Borla Exhaust System. I did my midday DR and had lunch, watched "American Pickers" until 7p, did my evening DR and had dinner. I watched a 3hr special on History, called "Buried: The Knights Templar and The Holy Grail", until 11p, did the nightly DR, pill regimen, and unplugged.

Up at 7:30a on Monday, it was already a sunny, balmy 53°, but felt cold in the condo. Showers had moved thru the area overnight, and more were forecast for today. I fired-up the furnace, started the new French Roast Turkish-grind Coffee, had a couple smokes in the garage, did my morning DR, and had Avocado Toast with Egg & Tomato. I checked the news to see what BS was going on, since I hadn't watched/heard anything yesterday, purposely.

I did a couple errands in the morning, got a speeding ticket – 72 in a 40, but the nice officer dropped it to 45 in a 40, so no points – and got back home around 1p, for my midday DR and lunch. After a short walk around the condo complex, I grabbed a 2hr snooze on the couch, did a couple condo chores, some paperwork and watched "American Pickers" for a couple hours. Around 6p, I did the evening DR, had Butternut Squash Bisque and a Tomato Sandwich on Cracked Wheat, and continued watching "AP" until 10p, and the switched over to Discovery for "Car Kings - DRIVEN". After my nightly DR, I unplugged, since I had to get up at 6a.

I was awake at 5:30a on Tuesday, turned-off the alarm, fired-up the furnace and garage heater, started coffee, had a couple smokes, did the morning's DR and had a simple breakfast. After checking the weather and news, I got the day's "Chris Plante Show" post ready to post early, since I had to leave at 8:30a, to get to Thornton Jeep, south in Red Lion, to drop-off my vehicle, for the new exhaust tip work. They have a loaner waiting for me. I left on time.

Back home by 10:30a, I checked the mailbox, and found a US Treasury Check for $1,200, labeled "Economic Impact Payment", which I don't need or want. So I'm going to donate all of it, to be split-up between several charitiies. I've already donated to Feeding America COVID-19, to ASPCA, to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, to The Salvation Army COVID-19, and to Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital, so I'll look around for some others.

I did my midday DR, had lunch and a 3hr snooze, and the cellphone range around4p. The Jeep was done, so I piled back into the dealership's loaner Cherokee (nay Grand Cherokee model), drove down to Red Lion and paid the bill, and brought it home. Beautiful work by those mechanics-techs. In short order, all the neighbors were out for a look.

I did the evening DR, had dinner and watched "The Curse of Oak Island", "Lost Gold of World War II" and "The Secret of SkinWalker Ranch" until 11:30p, did the nightly DR, more pills and quit for the day.

Awake at 6a on Wednesday, I went back to sleep until 8. After upping the heat in the condo and garage, I did my morning DR, had a couple smokes in the garage, had coffee and breakfast and opened-up the condo shades and saw that it was a beautiful, sunny 51° outside. The lawnmower crews were here. I posted the "CP Show" to FR, and left for Wells Fargo Bank to deposit the $1,200 check, and drive around to get some fresh air. Once back, I got all the front porch and back patio chairs and irrigation timer out to get ready to re-install, now that we're past "last frost date". Hopefully.

My shipment from Allen Bros arrived in 2 large boxes: Ribeye Steaks, Md Crabckes and Wagyu Steak Dogs. I got them put away in my freezer, gave Becky a load of them, and gave some to a neighbor, who's going thru tough times. I got out my porch and patio hoses, and Drip Irrigation Timer, and hooked them up. We're done with frost, I believe, so it's safe. Becky brought by a Red Trillium when she came to p/u her items from Allen Bros, so I'll let it harden-off on the front porch under the overhang, and get it planted over the weekend.

I grabbed a couple hours of sleep time on the couch, did my evening DR, had a large salad for dinner, and watched "Expedition Unknown" on Discovery until 11p, and bagged it for the night. The cleaning ladies are back at work, and due into my place at 8:30a. It'll be nice to see them again, after however long it's been.

Up at 6a on Thursday, I did the morning DR and had breakfast, checked the weather and news, and loaded my ancient landscape measurement wheel, pads and Sherry's new file into the Jeep. I got the garbage ready to go out for p/u tomorrow.

The cleaning ladies arrived at 8:30a, and I left at 9:30a to get to Sherry's to do some landscape re-design of her property. We spent over 2hrs taking measurements and pics, and having a good time. I have enough data to do a rough design for the front. I left around 12noon, and after a couple stops, was back home by 1p. I did the midday DR, had lunch, planted the Red Trillium Becky'd given me to go with my already established 2yr White Trillium, and did some computer work. By 6:30p, I'd done the evening DR and had dinner, watched "American Pickers" Marathon until 11:30, finished the nightly DR and quit for the day.

In My Opinion.

Finally, all charges have been dropped against US Army Lt Gen Michael Flynn, by the corrupt, criminal FBI and DOJ scumbags, after railroading him for 3yrs, and by his crooked, leftist Covington & Burling Legal Firm bankrupting him, should be stood against a stone wall, and shot. All of them; wipe them all out to the last employee. Onigger and Holder, too.

In nazi shithole of San Antonio TX, they've banned "language", outlawing "China Virus", "Hunan Virus", under penalty of fines and jail. Nuke the fucking city and all residents for electing demonKKKrats to office.

The truth about 4yrs of demonKKKrat lies, collusion and bullshit, finally comes to light. Schiff is a sociopath and needs a speedy trial and summary execution.

Barry Oigger Boy was behind the spying on Trump's 2016 Election campaign, and behind the persecution and prosecution of Gen Flynn, secretly supporting Iran, undermining the US, among many other treasonous actions. America's Worst Mistake is a lowlife piece-of-dogshit, and where is Lee Harvey Oswald and James Earl Ray when America really needs them? Onigger needs to be stood againjst a stone wall, and shot.

Stupid-assed nigger scumbag Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, compared the shooting death of 25-year-old criminal lowlife dirtbag theif, Ahmaud Arbery, with a long criminal police rap sheet, in February to lynchings in the Jim Crow-era South and said that President Trump’s rhetoric give racists “permission to do it in an overt way.” Idiotic sa,bette bitch. Somebody nuke Atlanta; it's a sambo shithole. Good riddance and rot in hell, Arbery!

Awwwwwwww, "angry customers" in a MassachuSHITS ice cream parlor, harrassing a 17-yr old girl employee? FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE PUNKS! The opwner should have thrown the scumbags out into the gutter. No ice cream for you!

Jeeeeeez, am I ever bored! I'll make-up for it tomorrow and Tuesday.

Top Obama administration officials purportedly requested to "unmask" the identity of former national security adviser Michael Flynn during the presidential transition period, according to a list of names from that controversial process made public on Wednesday. The list was declassified in recent days by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and then sent to GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, who made the documents public. The roster features top-ranking figures including then-Vice President Joe Biden -- a detail already being raised by the Trump campaign in the bare-knuckle 2020 presidential race where Biden is now the Democrats' presumptive nominee. The list also includes then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Obama's then-chief of staff Denis McDonough. All these scum (except Flynn) need to be in either prison, or summarily executed, after a fair trial. They're traitors.
