Governor Picking Winners And Losers
Dear Editor,
Let’s talk about COVID-19 and our exalted leader whom we call governor. Why are we told to stay at home, don’t congregate and stay away from our friends and neighbors?
He has absolutely no source of authority to tell us we can’t enter our churches for worship services. He has closed (put out of business) numerous wage-paying businesses by decree. He is choosing winners and losers by a decision making process, the authority for which has never been given him. If closing a business will cause us to prevail over the Chinese flu, why are certain others not included? He closed our churches but not the newspaper, so is the takeaway to imply that some constitutional rights are of greater or lesser importance than others? And, if so, how does one deduce the distinction? By committee? Or in this instance, by fiat. Or as our illustrious mayor, by dart board.
We should probably tell the governor to “stay in his lane,” and that his pronouncements, much like his foot on our neck, will no longer be tolerated. This has had its opportunity and has failed miserably, so we should probably choose our own course. Educated (not synonymous with learned) people are doing no better than we at getting on top of this disease. Some are willing to allow misinformation to be disseminated simply because they have an abiding hatred for our president. The only person in authority whose decisions have had an impact thus far we replaced in November.
We have a vaccine which came about much like when President Kennedy declared we should go to the moon in that decade. Our president put his full weight and influence into producing a vaccine in record time and what do you know, at least three companies appear to have done it.
At this point, our lives and how we will live them in these next four years constitutes a crap shoot.

Cone Did Fantastic Job
Dear Editor,
My wife and I got our shots yesterday at Cone’s Women’s Hospital – right on time and it went like clockwork. It was super well organized. In and out in 40 minutes including wait time for any reaction. Cone did a fantastic job.

Democrats Don’t Trust National Guard
Dear Editor,
As of the Monday prior to the inauguration, is what is happening a vision of things to come under the (National Socialist) Democrat politburo and their leader, Sleepy Joe Biden, aka the illegitimate president of the United States? (I can hear the hypocritical howls now.)
Let’s start with the level of paranoia running rampant through the DC swamp. First the Biden mob wanted the ammunition and magazines taken away from the National Guard because of concerns over Biden’ safety. Then you have Congress critters claiming that because the Guard is over 90 percent are male and only 25 percent voted for Biden. They are seriously expressing concerns that a Guardsman may try to kill Biden. They even have the FBI conducting background checks on the Guard members in DC. They’ve got DC looking like the Green Zone in Baghdad. Why? Because they are scared.
Then there are the calls for selected members of Congress to be removed from office, in essence disenfranchising the votes of hundreds of thousands of citizens because the ’rats want them gone in order to ensure they have the votes to push through their socialist agenda. They want, they need the opposition silenced and/or removed from Congress. And they will pervert and destroy the Constitution to do it, the consequences be damned.
But the one thing they are actively, openly attempting will, without a doubt, be the trigger, will be the last straw, is their calls for out and out censorship of anything or anybody that disagrees or attempts to counter their propaganda. Several Congress members and Big Tech mouthpieces have flat out said that conservatives need to be silenced by any means. They need to keep the people ignorant of what is really happening and only fed what they want them to believe. Knowledge and information are power and they want to control both.
The (National Socialist) Democrat Party is only a few steps away from changing their name by dropping the Democrat part and revealing who they really are. They are trying to “legally” form their own secret police to “combat domestic terrorism,” which will be defined by them. Care to guess who will be included?
For you haters that have been waiting for this opportunity, I’ve got the coffee on for when the FBI you called show up on my doorstep to ask about my participation in the Capitol break-in.

“For you haters that have been waiting for this opportunity, I’ve got the coffee on for when the FBI you called show up on my doorstep to ask about my participation in the Capitol break-in.”
I’m a little confused by this. Did you storm the capitol? Are you going tomorrow? Are the feds really knocking on your door? I always imagined you more as a beer guy.
It seems appropriate for people in DC to be scared and taking appropriate precautions ahead of the inauguration of our duly elected, legitimate President Biden and Vice President Harris considering less than 2 weeks ago some people waving mostly Trump flags tried to violently prevent congress from doing their job to certify the federal election results. I don’t know why you wouldn’t expect them to be a little scared. Especially when you have a GOP member of congress saying the national guard could pose an internal threat.
I’m not sure what calls for censorship you are referring to, but sedition is an act that bans you from public service in congress, so unless we are throwing out the constitution, if it is determined that said congress people “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” or have “given aid or comfort to the enemies” of the USA, it seems they disqualified themselves. Maybe while you’re ignoring that part of the constitution you can get your slaves back too!
Jarhead Porter, how damn old are you? If you know people that owned slaves it is no wonder the FBI wants to ask you some questions.other then that nonsense, on second thought everything you wrote was nonsense.?
Illegitimate President Biden and Vice President Harris in my opinion.
I was being sarcastic in reference to the FBI since so many like yourself associate me with radicals and white power minions (“you can get your slaves back too!”) and would love to see me put away.
It was a member of the (National Socialist) Democrat Politburo that questioned the loyalty and patriotism of the Guard, not the GOP
As for calls of censorship and sedition charges, you obviously have selective hearing.
You have not clarified the calls for censorship. Twitter? Or do you mean censure?
You’re right, it was a Dem Rep. followed by removing 12 national guard members for ties to White (Alan Marshall Approved) Nationalist groups.
You know you can’t read sarcasm very easily, right? No one here is calling for you to be “put away” unless you are referring to those law and order dog whistles for crimes you may or may not have committed.
I have read the rumor of “removing” certain member of Congress. How would/could this be accomplished. By whose authority, for what reasons. If they have already been “voted” into their seats. Isn’t that why the people vote, or is that process just for laughs now and nobody told us that either.
They are looking at using the 14th Amendment to the Constitution
We used to have a Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is now called Democrat Bureau of Investigation.
Looking at the cabinet picks that have been made by the incoming administration reminded me of our current city council all I can say is God help America.
They plan to try to use the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
The ignorance and misunderstanding of how this country works is so often on display here and by the same utterly clueless rubes day in and day out. Worthless and pointless fanatical hog wash from a right winger so militant and straight up incoherently masturbatory. Lighten up you fascists.
Love ya…mean it
“Worthless and pointless fanatical hog wash from a right winger so militant” in reference to Alan Marshall? IF that’s true, why do you continue punishing yourself by reading his articles? Put down your hammer andn stop beating yourself in the head, and you’ll feel better.
Hey joe, is your comment meant to be part of your effort to reunify Amerika? We have Martial Law in D.C because of credible internal threats, but they’re not from the National Guard. The real threats are coming from the same politically and criminally corrupt strategists that planned the coup against Trump, back for a third term.
We do not have martial law in DC – what are you talking about?
