The crazy train in the United States has officially come off the rails.
As an American of Spanish heritage, stories like this one are offensive and demeaning.
Because I happen to be Hispanic, it doesn’t give me the right to jump in front of the line and allow someone else to die because they happen to be white or any other color.
It makes me sick to my stomach the fact that institutionalized and government endorsed racism has become a new normal in the United States.
Medical treatment should not be segregated, but given to those in need regardless of race or color. The social ignorance of judging people based on something they can’t control, like color, race, or national origin, continues to feed the American decline.
This is shameful and should be rejected. Another sad day in America!
I am amazed as how quickly Americans are willing to surrender their rights so they can go inside a restaurant, a theater, or a local coffee shop.
To me, nothing can be more humiliating than being asked for ‘your papers’ before I enter an establishment of any sort. It also comes with negative historical connotations going all the way back to the days of slavery.
Thankfully for me, I do not live in such a place, and if I did, I would never patronize an establishment who wishes to treat its customers like third class citizens.
There are four cities in America that I will never visit or spend my money to promote their tourism or any other enterprise. Chicago, Boston, New York City, and Washington D.C. have chosen to become bastions of all out communism with their ‘proof of vaccination’ mandates and mandatory vaccination requirements.
In these cities, if a person does not have proof of vaccination, they will not be able to enter restaurants, bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues, and gyms, among other things.
Some of these new rules are already in place like in New York City, with some going into effect at the beginning of the new year in places like Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Boston.
The reality is businesses are already hurting and here comes the government placing more draconian restrictions that do little to combat the virus and everything to bankrupt private industries.
Many people already have chosen not to visit these cities due to their high crime, diminished law enforcement, and socialist policies. Others have chosen to move out of the city and in some cases the state all together.
Requiring people to show vaccination papers is probably the last straw most Americans with an ounce of dignity are going to be willing to go along with for the sake of access to entertainment. Places with such requirements are not going to prosper and they will become financial and social cemeteries.
I do not understand how the people in these cities are willing to go along with this nonsense. These mandates have been implemented without public hearings or any input from the community, but they strictly affect them.
These rules have been drafted with little science behind them and ‘best guess’ scenarios. It is obvious the Biden administration was not ready for the Omicron variant, but it has also been proven the variant is not as deadly as the prior Delta variant.
So why are these cities placing more restrictions on their citizens with a variant that is less than lethal than the prior one? Power and control.
In government, once they give, they will not take, and once they take, they will never give it back.
What is next for the United States? Internment camps for the unvaccinated? These are scary times in the United States and with the Democratic Party in power, nobody knows what is going to happen. The Democratic Party is about power, not about the well-being of the American citizen.
Next time someone asks you for ‘your papers,’ turn around and do not spend your hard-earned money there. History is full of examples of places where showing ‘your papers’ lead to death and indoctrination camps.
The Nazis used to have a phrase they would use to justify all the abuses by the state: “FurIhreSicherheit.” Translation? “For your safety.”
In his December 21, 2021, “No Christmas for You” press conference, Joe Biden continued to peddle the lie that “unvaccinated” Americans are to blame for the over 400,000 Covid deaths in the United States under the watchful eye of his anemic administration.
Furthermore, he went on to claim that most of the 400,000 casualties were unvaccinated Americans. Not even Common Core mathematics can quantify that phony statistic.
To me, this was the highlight of the press conference because that’s a total lie with zero evidence to prove it.
Anybody with a brain understands that’s a ridiculous argument which we could equally apply to deaths caused by the seasonal flu and come up with the same nonsensical results; blame it on those who won’t get the flu shot.
The Biden administration continues to double down on their fearmongering and vile threats against American citizens. They refuse to understand that threatening people is not going to get it done.
They are stuck on stupid and committed to press the pedal to the metal.
Instead of using logical persuasion to make his case for vaccinations, Joe Biden goes on national television, and like a petty dictator, attempts to impose his will upon the citizenry with doom and gloom stories and less than factual information.
Perhaps it is because he can’t make a logical argument or because he knows the American people simply put; don’t buy his bull$&%#.
The medical reality is Covid-19, and all its variants, is here to stay. The time for scare tactics is over.
The Biden administration needs to place their efforts in comprehensive mitigation, truthful information, and stop using the virus for political purposes.
If they are truly serious about tackling misinformation, the first thing they need to do is remove Anthony Fauci as the face of the fight against Covid-19.
The man is a proven liar and he does not command the respect and trust of the American people.
Unfortunately, we all know this is not about the virus, this is all about control and the transformation of the United States from a Constitutional Republic to some type of socialist utopian fail state.
The Democrats have used Covid-19 to destroy our electoral system, expand the welfare state, trounce free speech and those who dare to question the state’s intentions, and as a tool to justify their attempt at curtailing our Constitutional rights.
The more they try to intimidate the American people, the more the American people reject it. Americans don’t like to be pushed around or lied to by its government.
Let me be clear, I am not an anti-vaccination advocate. Throughout my 25 years of Federal law enforcement and my years in the military, I was injected with numerous vaccines before combat deployments and when traveling to foreign countries as a Federal Air Marshal.
But I do believe in individual rights as guaranteed by our Constitution and reject any sort of government intervention in what is supposed to be an issue between a doctor and a patient.
The Democrats have created a cultural mess. Between the masking and vaccination cultists, they have created a culture of distrust. These people have been emboldened by our own government to get in people’s faces.
This is nothing more than an accident waiting to happen and it is irresponsible behavior.
One thing I have come to realize and appreciate during the Covid-19 era is the fact that I don’t need to go to the movie theater, shopping malls, restaurants, or even socialize with others to live a fulfilling life.
I am not missing much as I have never been one to mingle with others on a regular basis. I appreciate my privacy to the fullest.
When the President of the United States goes on national television and falsely blames 400,000 Covid related deaths on the “unvaccinated”, he is creating a hostile living environment in your and my community.
It is time for people to stop listening to the media and the crooked press. Do your own research, consult with your doctor and your family, and make an inform decision. After all, it is your responsibility, not the government’s, to do what’s best for you.
It is time for the government to do what’s right for the American people and not what’s right for their ideological ambitions.
Lockdowns and segregation are not the solution, but a divisionary tactic that at the end won’t work.
In the last 5 years, I have read some crazy stuff online, some of them borderline insane. This op-ed by three retired generals is not only offensive to our military, but as ridiculous as the three men who wrote it.
They imply that a civil war is imminent, and it will be initiated from within the ranks of the military, if the wrong electoral results are achieved in the 2024 election.
In a nutshell, they are suggesting the Pentagon purges its ranks of what they call would-be “mutineers.”
The op-ed is nothing more than random opinions with no evidence to support their claims.
You know they are shooting with empty barrels when their best example of a possible 2024 ‘insurrection’ is the refusal by the Oklahoma National Guard to punish those who refuse to be forcefully vaccinated.
Folks, we never had a military coup in the history of our country and to suggest our military is about to start one is lunacy. This is stuff you see in third world countries, not in the United States.
Some may not like the results of an election, but to suggest our military would be ready to remove a sitting president is unpatriotic.
To give legitimacy to this kind of talk is irresponsible and those suggesting such a thing are no different than the so-called ‘insurrectionists’ they are warning us about.
General Eaton, General Taguba, General Anderson, and the Washington Post, should be dismissed and ignored.
One thing is to hold those responsible for the January 6th riots accountable for their actions, but to make such a blanket statement about our servicemembers is, in my opinion, treasonous and unbecoming.
As much as American athletes love to lecture the common folk, they rarely put their money where their mouth is.
Some of them love to hate the United States, badmouth the country about how horrible it is, but they don’t have second thoughts about taking money so they can enjoy international and national competitions at our expense.
I am not surprised one bit. This is the type of society in which we live, the type of United States wokeness and social media have created.
The upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing are a clear example of American hypocrisy. Our government runs their mouth criticizing China, and rightly so, but hasn’t done a thing about the United States position.
Sure, a meaningless diplomatic boycott gives the Biden administration headlines, but it doesn’t affect the outcome. China will still enjoy, and reap, the benefits of having United States athletes participating at the Olympics.
Not only has the United States team been outfitted with Ralph Lauren gear, which is mostly made in, you guessed it, China, but the United States Olympic Committee has remained silent about China and has refused to criticize China’s horrific record on human rights abuses.
The list of abuses is endless. From Uyghur ‘concentration camps’ in Xinyang to the inexplicable disappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai and Beijing’s cover up.
The Biden administration has done nothing to hold China accountable, on the contrary, under Joe Biden, the Chinese Communist Party seems to enjoy a level of moral immunity never seen before.
Why hasn’t the United States pulled the plug on the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics? Why is the United States rewarding an oppressive regime with the presence and prestige of United States athletes?
The United States Olympic Committee and the Biden administration should be ashamed of themselves.
How dare we claim the moral highroad while at the same time we won’t condemn the Chinese Communist Party human rights abuses?
The government says the athletes should not be punished, is not their fault. Well, these athletes are representing not only our country, but they represent every single one of us.
I don’t approve of a communist regime who starve its people, place people in concentration camps because of their religious beliefs, threaten its neighbors with invasion, and intimidate our country with vile threats.
To say President Carter had more ‘cojones’ than Joe Biden by leading the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics says a lot about our current state of affairs in this country.
The United States needs to lead again. The United States needs to send a clear message to Beijing and completely boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in the name of human rights and what the United States stands for.
