After four years of failed attempts to rid themselves of the Bad Orange Man, the Democratic Party has latched unto the coronavirus created crisis as the final straw that they believe will break Donald’s back. I think they will again fail which will drive them to the only vice left to them, violence.

Mike Turzai is Speaker of the House in Pennsylvania. The following is from a letter he wrote to his governor.

Sadly, 3,106 of our citizens have died due to Covid-19. The average age of those that have passed away is 79 years old. To date, of these 3,106 deaths, 2,108 of these persons lived in nursing homes, personal care homes and assisted living residences. That means 67.9% of those who have died lived in these types of settings. Of the 3,106 persons who have died, 11.9% had 4 comorbidities, 22.7% had 3 comorbidities, 27.2% had 2 comorbidities, 22.6% had 1 comorbidity and 11% had zero comorbidities. While these percentages only add up to 95.4%, these were the statistics that were provided to us verbally. Of the 3,106 persons who died, 61% had hypertension, 54% had heart disease, 37% had diabetes and 30% had chronic pulmonary disease. According to the Hospital and Health System Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), citing Pennsylvania Department of Health statistics, there are 37,000 beds in Pennsylvania hospitals.

As of today, 2,572 of these beds were occupied by Covid-l9 patients, which amounts to 6.95%. There are only 539 patients in the hospitals on ventilators, which amounts to 1.46% of all hospital beds. (Facts have no value to fascist governors).

This “crisis” has been manufactured with the two-fold goal of destroying Trump and gaining total control of the American people. All this talk of tracking us and removing us if we’re a danger to others is police state talk. We live in dangerous times.

In support of my accusation that the tech giants are in bed with the government, look no further than their exuberant desire to facilitate the government power grab. They work feverishly to monitor us. We are fools if we let this happen; sadly so many of us are compliant, fearful, useful idiots.

In two months we’ve flushed trillions of dollars down a rathole which is more than World War Two cost. We have nothing to show for it but a destroyed economy and the destroyed dreams of millions of our citizens.

The story is the same, state by state. Most of the deaths were in nursing homes or those with several underlying conditions. The median age of death was at or above the life expectancy of the average American.

Mathew Walther writes: The churches all closed. Jets flying overhead. Lunatics banging pots and pans. Masked joggers, masked pizza men, masked dogs awaiting testing; everyone in the park wearing masks; no one masked in a crowd of 30 watching the armored van roll over the discarded grass clippings. A woman was beaten by a police officer (off duty, of course) for refusing to wear a mask in a warehouse store. A man spits in the face of a clerk. Alcohol sales increasing by 70 percent or more, and legal dope available for curbside pickup. Standoffs, the stockpiling of weapons, protests, and counter-protests with assault rifles in state capitols.

Is this what we want? Do we want to become a nation of snitches, locking our neighbors up for not maintaining the right social distance? Why so many support a police state is beyond me. Be more fearful of the state than some virus invented by the state. These are not nice people.

Our hated founders gave us something that was beforehand unattainable by a common man, freedom to think, speak those thoughts, own what he produced, and seek happiness without the fetters of the state. And now we’re throwing our birthright away that so many paid for with their lives. We are indeed a country run by fools and elected by fools.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
