This pandemic is a manufactured hoax. Caught early, cheap generic drugs used to treat malaria are available all over the world to treat covid-1984.

How is this pandemic different from other pandemics the past ten years?
Media pushing panic. Hoax is in the media's spin. Hoax is in the faulty tests. How can a fruit as in the pawpaw fruit test positive for covid?
As more information becomes available, it isn't more deadly that the seasonal flu.

I've made an interesting discovery. I walk a lot. Talk a lot with friends and neighbors. Made a simple conclusion a while ago, which has been true with almost no exception -- the more liberal, the more afraid; and the more conservative, the less afraid.

Perhaps this is because of the news they watch. Perhaps because the conservatives tend to be God-fearing and God-trusting. Perhaps other reasons. Many of the liberals are just spooked irrationally. Many of the conservatives view it as a hoax.

Perhaps it's nothing more than a self-reinforcing prophecy -- some tend to believe what they want to be true.

I too, have done my "walk-a-bouts" and have wondered about this some thing - the God fearing right and the not-so-God fearing left and how they view things like the current situation. As I've said before, I really do see major hypocrisy in BOTH the left and the right (even though my leanings are conservative/libertarian), big time! However, real born-agains break strongly for the GOP it seems, so I've long suspected that those on the right have a little more insight and light into what's really going on.

Christians on the right can certainly go off on some moral high-ground issues that I think are mostly devoid of Christ! And I have to tell ya, even in my close little group of Scottsdale bros, I've seen some real double-mindedness and flip-flops on this virus thing. Which I guess just goes to show how new and unique it all is - people have little in the the way of experience and comfortable norms to help them reason this all out. (which is the perfect situation for Faith to come in . . .)

But, on the whole, I do think the GOP has the edge in the truth department, only because there are more born-agains in that camp . . .

I have observed that conservatives prefer knowing the truth and applying an objective assessment, and tend to pause until the facts are known. Saw that with Kavanaugh. Same with that Covington HS kid. Another big one was that monuments debate in Charlottesville. Russia collusion. Ukrainian quid pro quo. Trump emoluments. I could go on all day . . .

I even saw it with Joe Biden and Tara Reade. Conservatives paused and wanted due process, same as they did with Kavanaugh, but the Left moved to quickly dismiss and smear the victim messenger.

Being conservative doesn't mean perfection, and there have been many failures, yet being fair and honest is a Christian trait. On the contrary, I see very little fair and honest on the left. Mostly reactionary sheeple who take their marching orders from the daily mass email.

Can someone explain to me why the same people who don't need to wear a mask because God will protect them also need an AR-15 because God won't?

Dr. Fauci said that the mask does nothing, and it's only a symbol.

Stopping a virus with a mask is like restraining mosquitoes with a chain link fence.

After 3 months of this nonsense, people are seeing the hypocrisy in our leaders, especially the Democratic governors, and deciding that wearing masks is a joke. It's nothing more than a fashion statement at this point.

Wearing a mask is more dangerous than not. By hiding one's face, all forms of criminal activity can be done under the cloak of anonymity. There's reasons why criminals hide behind masks, and the dangers from criminals exceeds the dangers from this virus. Because of this, now more than ever people feel the need for firarms.

You should be thankful that you have a great governor in DiSantis.

Bottom line: it is not political, it is your way of slowing the spread and showing others that you care about their health!

Not as thankful as we are of Kentucky's governor. While DiSantis has done little to protect the health of his citizens, or not as much as my Democratic governor ; Florida's cases are still on the rise, while Kentucky's is on the decline.

See, Trump's retweet that, "The only good democrat is a dead democrat," is far from true. But since when has Trump ever cared about truth? who cares less about human life than Disantis, like so many other republican governors, whether born again or not ; that doesn't seem to move Christians to follow the teachings of Jesus.

What good does being born again do? It doesn't look like any good. It sure doesn't seem to cause loving your neighbor as yourself.

I do think news plays a big role. Turn off the news and you're somewhat unaffected by the narrative. The news are by and large anti-conservative 24/7. I do think the hatred for Trump is so strong, they're willing to cut off the hand to spite the thumb. They really want to believe the anti-conservative narrative as truth.

I have never seen so much deceptive brain-washing coming from the media. They constantly cut-and-paste Trump's words to smear him.

Here is something I read that amazed me about media bias, and this should make it into the textbooks. It's a quote from a letter by 44 "journalists of color" who work for the Philadelphia Inquirer, sent to the newspaper. The letter is in response to a June 2nd op-ed piece the paper ran titled "Buildings Matter Too" that these 44 journalists didn't agree with. I find their response a little breathtaking, due to their unvarnished admittance that they have discarded all semblance of balanced reporting and that they actually put this in writing!

“We’re tired of seeing our words and photos twisted to fit a narrative that does not reflect our reality,” the letter stated. “We’re tired of being told to show both sides of issues there are no two sides of.”

From Here: New York Daily News article about 44 Philadelphia Jounalist Letter

Please tell me if this article about these journalists' letter, and also what they said in meetings with the paper's management, amazed you as much as it did me! (and of course, the newspaper completely caved to these journalists' demands . . .)

The media has absolutely become propaganda brainwashing.


Anyone to the right of AOC is being targeted.

“We’re tired of seeing our words and photos twisted to fit a narrative that does not reflect our reality,” the letter stated. “We’re tired of being told to show both sides of issues there are no two sides of.”

This is not one-sided. It can go both ways. I am tired of seeing events being twisted and presented to fit a narrative that is far from accuracy. There are two sides to every issue and somewhere between is the truth.
Everything occurring in 2020 is about an election. From impeachment to covid to riots to a second covid wave and with each phase their best efforts are coming up short. Consider what will be next between now and November?
It's okay to assemble to protest and riot, but it's not okay for presidential rallies?
It's okay to assemble to protest and riot, but it's not okay to go to stand in line and cast your vote? Just as I am sure one side will push vote by mail, the other side will be pushing voter ID.
I am not a Trump supporter nearly as much as I oppose the injustice perpetrated against Trump and those in his inner circle. Really if readers want to know what this boils down to, what I see the media and the left doing to conservatives is much the same propaganda as LSM did to quarantined brothers.

So well said, bro!!!!!!!!

Here's another line that applies, "They don't hate Trump, they hate us as conservatives, constitutionalists, and Christians -- Trump just got in the way!

Tell me again how many dozens of innocent blacks have to die while we are daily preached to about "Black Lives Matter."

Here is the Official DoubleSpeak interpretation: Black Lives only Matter when they die in the custody of white police.

Complete Moron named "Ohio" Doesn't Realize Social Justice Activists Changed The Definition Of Every Word Last Week




Gahanna, Ohio — Really smart experts everywhere are pulling their hair out with frustration due to thousands of uneducated people not realizing leading voices in critical theory and social justice activism changed all the definitions of every meaningful word in the English language just a few days ago.

Tensions escalated today when Richard Christian, a YouTuber from greater Columbus, wrote the comment: “I dunno... as a white man, I don’t think I’m a racist or that America is a racist country.”

At that ignorant statement, thousands of well-educated voices at universities around the country suddenly cried out in terror and refused to be silent.

“I literally just can’t with this guy,” said Xandace Bertheratrix, Dean of Race and Gender studies at NYU. “Doesn’t he know that whiteness isn’t a race but a system of oppression, and that maleness isn’t a gender but a system of oppression, and that America isn’t a place but a system of oppression, and that it’s literally impossible for those things to not be racist? I mean, come on, man!” Dr. Bertheratrix barely got her sentence out before hyperventilating and collapsing on the floor.

Unfortunately, the NYU staff overheard Xandace use the non-inclusive phrase “come on, man.” She was quickly carried off by campus social justice enforcers.

Further investigation revealed the horrifying truth that Richard didn't even know the definition of any of these terms:

• Queerantagonism
• Non-consensual co-platforming
• Brown fragility
• Microinvalidations
• Mathematx
• Intercorporeality
• Autoethnography

Richard has been ordered to take reeducation courses or his homestead will be canceled.

A GoFundMe account has been started for poor Ohio. All posters are asked to prayerfully consider his desperate plight.
