Invaders outnumbered by the press. Some insurrection.
COVID
In other COVID news
I was just contacted by a contact tracer from the health department in the county where I work, because I was exposed to COVID through my in laws. My employer reported me because I told them about the exposure. They informed me that I am under quarantine for fourteen days from the date of exposure. Without too many details:
My in laws, as well as my wife and I, live in one Florida county. My wife works for a school in the same county. I work in the neighboring county directly to the north. My wife was told she could return to work after ten days, which meant she returned to work yesterday.
So I live in South county with my wife, who also works in south county. I work in North county. My wife and I were both exposed on the same day, but I am quarantined for four days longer than she is, because why?
Who knows?
Insanity
Women’s Sports are dead
A woman can do anything she wants, as long as she is born with a penis.
There are men who will lie and claim to be women, if that is what it takes to win a medal. This will kill women’s sports.

Spin
The press is now saying that the police didn’t LET the protesters in. They show a video where cops were fighting to keep protesters out.
Then another media outlet chimes in: Ok, well, they did let them in, but only because the unarmed protesters scared the armed police officers, who decided to let them in to avoid getting hurt.
Anti American left
Corporate welfare
Mark Cuban confirmed that his sports team, the Dallas Mavericks, is no longer playing the National Anthem at any of its events.
The largest recipients of corporate welfare in the USA is sports teams. They get tons of tax breaks, including cities who build their business venues for them. The amount of tax revenue is small compared to the costs. So isn’t it time for the American taxpayer to stop funding billionaire owned business ventures and their multimillionaire employees? Let them pay for their own expenses.
Economy
Killing the goose
New York has been bleeding residents for years. People fleeing the high taxes and restrictive laws for lower tax states like Florida has been going on for a long time. Now that COVID has taught companies that you don’t need to have your employees operate out of expensive Manhattan offices, that trend has accelerated. So how does New York respond to that?
As we all know, the Democrat answer to ANY problem is more taxes, so why not propose a 0.5% tax on every stock transaction? This was the entire plot of Office Space.
This will KILL the New York Stock Exchange. I hope it doesn’t come to Florida. See, the people who come here from New York haven’t learned their lesson on what voting for leftists does, so after moving here, they keep voting for the same politicians and policies that caused their problem to begin with.
To live here means listening to New York transplants constantly telling us how they “do things up north” and how much better things are “up north.” So, you ask, why did you leave? Then you get two answers: “It’s cold,” and “taxes.”
No shit.
War on the Right
Remove them
The Senate just voted itself the power to hold trials of private citizens without involvement of the judiciary. The enemies of the people of this nation include anyone within the Democrat party, and the following 6 Republican Senators:
- Susan Collins of Maine
- Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
- Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
- Mitt Romney of Utah
- Ben Sasse of Nebraska
- Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania
Please remember this for later.
Government
Walls and fences
There are two types of walls that can be built: Those designed to keep something out, and those designed to keep something in. The wall that President Trump wanted to built was intended to protect American citizens by keeping out those who would plunder their wealth.
The one that Congress built in Washington DC last month was also designed to keep people out, but for a different purpose. It has been designed to keep the American people out, so that those people cannot interfere with those members of Congress who are plundering the wealth of those outside of the wall.
This isn’t the first time that a government has built a wall in order to plunder its own citizens, and no, I am not talking about the Berlin wall. I am talking about the Wall of the Ferme Générale. This was a wall built around Paris with the intent of preventing goods and materials from being brought into the city without the payment of a toll on goods entering Paris to the Ferme Générale.
The Ferme Generale was a corporation of tax farmers that collected a toll, sometimes referred to as a grant or a tax, on all goods entering Paris, and this toll was known as the Octroi. This tax was put in place, charging people for the ‘privilege’ of bringing goods into the city. As you can imagine, people in Paris did what people always do, and simply ignored the tax.
Well the people who made their fortunes stealing money from productive citizens couldn’t have that, so the powers that be decided to construct a wall around Paris with offices and different buildings for the toll collection. The construction of the wall was started in 1785 to cover an area of approximately 24 kilometres with just over sixty different toll houses or barrier buildings.
Nothing is new under the sun. Our own grifters are doing the same thing- they are ensconcing themselves behind a wall designed to protect themselves while they pillage the wealth of the richest nation the world has ever seen. I wonder if this will end with the guillotine.
Me
My leg
Remember when I said that I fell from a moving golf cart, and how my leg had swollen to double its normal size? This is what it looks like this morning:
