Let The Mask Craze Begin

The New N95/KN95 Fallacy

Every time Anthony Fauci opens his mouth with some asinine, ‘I pull out of my rear end,’ new rule, Americans go crazy along with him.

Now the N95/KN95 mask craze is sweeping the nation. From masks do not work to triple masking, Fauci has been wrong every step of the way, and he is wrong one more time. Fauci is addicted to power regardless of science or common sense, the man is a pathetic publicity sponge.

The latest is that unless you wear an N95 or KN95 mask, your level of protection against Covid-19 is zero.

Well, what the witch doctor is failing to tell the gullible American people is the fact that unless you are properly fitted, an N95 or KN95 mask is as equally useless. You are actually better off going ‘au naturel’ and breathe good old fresh air.

I have been properly fitted and wore those masks for lengthy periods of times. They are uncomfortable and must be replaced every 8 hours. Anyone telling you differently does not know what he or she is talking about. No, you cannot handwash them despite of internet claims to that fact.

Not all N95 or KN95 are created equal. The internet is flooded with Chinese made knockoffs that will offer you no protection. Unless they are FDA approved, they are nothing but garbage.

Now schools and businesses, who are still mandating masks, want to make N95 and KN95 usage mandatory. Schools in Los Angeles want all kids to wear N95 masks all day long. Folks, this is child abuse and should be fought all the way to the courts if necessary.

If a business demands consumers to wear an N95 or KN95 to shop, they should provide them. These masks are expensive, and when used properly, only good for a certain amount of time.

The CDC and Fauci know this is malarky. They know these masks will not do a thing to stop the spread, but they enjoy fearmongering and seeing Americans running around like chickens without heads.

Unfortunately, Americans have lost their spine and have no appetite to question these crackpots and their draconian mandates.

If you think these masks will do something for you use them, but do it because you have done your research and not because some government stooge is telling you to do so.

The End of An Era

An American Icon Gone Forever

Gone Forever!

When the ‘Woke Police’ and the cancel culture snowflakes started to feel offended about everything I read Aunt Jemima was going to be canceled. First, I couldn’t believe it, and second, my wife went on a hunt for Aunt Jemima pancake mix while the sweet Aunt Jemima was still featured on the box.

Why would Americans want Aunt Jemima gone? Only small minded people would think Aunt Jemima was an insult to black Americans or any other minority.

Sure, the original Aunt Jemima came from a caricature, but she evolved into a beautiful and iconic figure recognized in kitchens all over the world.

So, it is with great sadness that I share with you we’ve used our last box of Aunt Jemima original pancake mix. Never again will we ever have the opportunity to see such an American icon gracing the front of the most popular pancake mix in the world.

Cancel culture is wrong, Quaker Oats had it wrong, and America’s lost.

Guess Who’s Sponsoring a PGA Tour Event

American Express and the Nation of Islam

This week the PGA Tour is playing The American Express in La Quinta, California.

But, why would the PGA Tour want a sponsorship from a company who associates with an anti-Semite group such as the Nation of Islam?

The Nation of Islam is known for their antisemitism and hatred toward whites. Their leader, Louis Farrakhan has been classified by the Anti Defamation League as a “divisive figure and one of the most prominent antisemites in America.”

Either the PGA Tour is willfully ignorant or they agree with American Express and the Nation of Islam.

Which one is it Jay Monahan? Perhaps Jay needs a little bit of education.

Contact attempts with PGA Tour Headquarters were unsuccessful.

I am not watching a golf tournament sponsored by a company who clearly supports anti-Semitism and racism in America.

Enough With the Hitler Rhetoric

Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried Reaches for The Lowest Hanging Fruit

Nikki Fried, Florida’s agriculture commissioner and Democratic Party 2022 gubernatorial hopeful, cannot get enough of foot in the mouth disease.

In an interview with NPR, she compared Florida governor, Ron DeSantis with Hitler. Of course, this is not new. Since the election of President Donald Trump, the Democrats have developed a sick infatuation for Hitler.

Anyone who disagrees with their agenda is either a “white supremacist” or a “Nazi.” Frankly, it is pathetic and disrespectful to the millions of Jews who died at the hands of the Nazi Party during the second world war.

Fried could not attack the governor on substance, so she reached for the lower hanging fruit available.

During her interview she was quoted as saying about Governor DeSantis, “He is doing everything possible to take power away from local governments, taking away people’s abilities to protest, making it harder to vote, talking about, you know, banning books.”

“That’s what dictators do. Instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he is trying to govern over the people, and, you know, that, I’m sorry, I’m a student of history, too. I saw the rise of Hitler.”

This is crazy talk, period. Comparing Ron DeSantis to Hitler is not a healthy debate about the issues, but a cheap way to demonize the governor.

Governor DeSantis has allowed Floridians to live their lives with as little of government intrusion as possible. Democrats do not like it because it takes what they consider leverage, control.

I do not think many Floridians would agree with Ms. Fried’s assessment of the governor’s job in the last two years.

Several individuals came out to the governor’s defense, including Mayor Gabriel Groisman, who happens to be Jewish, and Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez.

Unfortunately, Ms. Fried chose to double down on her remarks by later tweeting, “Ron DeSantis and his anti-democratic demagoguery is a danger to our state, our country, and yes, the world. Choose your own historical example if you want, but it’s the damn truth.” 

The Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler were one of the most destructive forces in the world. Millions died at the hands of the Nazis and millions died fighting this evil regime.

It is time for liberals to stop using such analogies, instead debate on the issues. Intelligent people do not buy these comparisons, and compassionate people do not respect people who make such comparisons.

Mask Madness Going Wild

The CDC’s New Unscientific Mask Rules are Going to Hit Your Wallet Hard

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is going to issue new mask guidelines and they will be more expensive and equally useless as the ones before.

As reported by the Washington Post, they will update their guidelines with the following, if people “can tolerate wearing a KN-95 or N-95 mask all day”, they should do so.

Of course, they offer no science behind it or any actual study showing the benefits of wearing an ‘improperly’ fitted N-95 or KN-95 mask.

We have known since the beginning of Covid-19 that pieces of cloth, bandanas, and even those Chinese made surgical masks are ineffective against the spread of Covid-19. Anthony Fauci told us that much when he insisted, before flip flopping, that masks were useless and unnecessary.

Now the CDC wants Americans to forgo the cheap and ineffective masks, for a more expensive, hard to find, and just as ineffective N-95 or KN-95 mask.

The reality is that unless you are properly fitted to wear any of those models, the masks will not do what they are supposed to do. Additionally, N-95 and KN-95 masks are supposed to be replaced every 8 hours with a new one to be effective.

An improperly fitted N-95 or KN-95 mask can be more dangerous to one’s health that not wearing one at all. It can restrict your oxygen intake and increase your intake of C02.

Just like the toilet paper frenzy and binged buying, these masks are hard to find because the hoarders are already at it. Companies are raising the prices as fast as they can make them, with prices as high as $80.00 dollars for a pack of 40 KN-95, from a low of $17.00 dollars back in November. Talk about price gauging.

It seems Omicron has been pumping the sales and influenced the CDC decision to issue new guidelines, but the fact remains that Omicron is less dangerous than the Delta variant and your chances of landing in the hospital because of it are minimal.

It is obvious the wealthy will have no problem purchasing these masks, but low-income families cannot afford to pay $80.00 for a pack of 40. A pack of 40 only gives you enough masks for an average of 5 days ‘protection’, for a single individual, if one follows the manufacturer’s guidelines.

The CDC has been all over the place about masking or not. They have changed their guidelines as fast as they can to placate the mainstream media and the blue check marked virtue signalers on Twitter. Why this time would be any different?

Who is going to certify the authenticity of the hundreds of N-95 and KN-95 flooding the market? Because it is stamped “KN-95 or N-95” does not necessarily make it so. Buyer beware is my suggestion.

We have reached a 40-year inflationary record of 7%. Things are more expensive; food, gas, electricity, heat, you name it. Now the CDC wants to impose more burdens on American citizens by telling them an N-95 or KN-95 is the answer to Covid-19 salvation. Poppycock!

Decisions, decisions. Food or masks?
