On this Columbus Day, we embrace the same optimism that led Christopher Columbus to discover the New World. We inherit that optimism, along with the legacy of American heroes who blazed the trails, settled a continent, tamed the wilderness, and built the single-greatest nation the world has ever seen.
In commemoration of Christopher Columbus’s historic voyage, the Congress, by joint resolution of April 30, 1934, modified in 1968 (36 U.S.C. 107), has requested the President proclaim the second Monday of October of each year as “Columbus Day.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 12, 2020, as Columbus Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of our diverse history and all who have contributed to shaping this Nation.
As predicted, the Wuflu hysteria is ramping up. Testing, testing, testing no longer means making sure the mic works. Now we're testing healthy people for a virus. That makes no sense.
Not sure how you feel, but I'm sick and tired of hearing the totally fake news of 220K people dead from Wuflu. Read my lips!! - it's a lie!
Listening to the opening statements by members of Congress on the Amy Coney Barrett hearings is an exercise in wondering, "WTHell?" I finally had to turn off the sound with the dems blah blahing about the affordable care act. I thought this was about questioning the nominee. Guess I was wrong. You can watch it live HERE. Update: ended for today, but you can bookmark for tomorrow.
The vision of Amy Coney Barrett in her pretty pink dress with a repulsive black mask on her face, is disgusting, dehumanizing, and demented.
Wonder why the riots have sort of simmered down? Except, of course, for Portland where pulling down statues has become a full time job. Yesterday, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt bit the dust, and the rioters blasted out the windows of the Oregon Historical Society.
Do read the whole thing - it's excellent and will give you a bit more insight into who and what we're dealing with.
Now - I have a house to finish painting since my schedule was thrown off by the massive wind storm we had yesterday. Cleaning up the property of fallen branches, toppled trees, and tumble weeds will have to wait.
Is Cody the most beautiful cat in the world? Many would say yes.
I won't comply so I won't be going there for the foreseeable future.
If you've hung around here for awhile you know that I worked for Costco years ago and am a firm supporter of them and the way they run their business.
I also love to shop there.
But - starting today you must wear a mask to enter the warehouse.
No!
As the always pugnacious Ann Barnhardt so aptly said:
You DO realize that the ridiculous, useless masks are just the New World Order's version of the musloid veil, designed to humiliate and dehumanize you, Yes?
Folks, take off those stupid masks. There IS NO PANDEMIC in the vulgar sense of the word. CoronaCold is a a SEASONAL CHEST COLD. The masks DO NOTHING. They are a pure act of psychological violence and terrorism, a punitive measure designed to humiliate into submission, and to extinguish fraternal Charity. Wearing a mask is assenting to the lie.
She also included this quote from Dalrymple:
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is…in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.― Theodore Dalrymple
I'm not sure I would classify Wuflu as a "seasonal chest cold", but I don't believe it's the boogeyman it's being made out to be. I think the truth is being suppressed as a means to control the masses.
I've chosen not to be a sheep.
Head over to Red Pill Jew and read part three of The Power of Political Myth, which delves deeper into the ongoing assault on our liberties. He has a link to part 1 and 2 at the top.
In case you're not sure of the "rules" this cute gal spells them out for you. We wouldn't want any confusion, now would we?
YesterdayI posted a link to Ann Barnhardt's post which reflects much of what I've been thinking lately.
For me the question is whether Ann is mired in despair, a sin against the virtue of Hope, or is she just being realistic. There is a definite difference between facing facts and unicorn farts and rainbows, referred to asnormalcy bias. Facing facts means you take appropriate action.
I've never been a giggling aficionado of Ann. I think she makes some good points, but I question her tactic of appearing to call her readers stupid - something Karl Denninger, at the Market Ticker, tends to do also.
I'm exhausted and losing any ability to be "outraged" about the scandal du jour.
From Ann Barnhardt:
[...]And each day there is a new crime, and the frequency of the crimes
themselves is the means by which they keep you distracted and wallowing
in what I can only describe as a masturbatory impotence driven by a
false fantasy of your own “outrage”. Your “outrage” is no more real
than the pornographic fantasies people use to masturbate sexually. And
every 36 hours – like clockwork – you are handed a new vector for your
“outrage” fetish, and the previous one, no longer capable of sustaining
the proverbial erection, is forgotten as quickly as it was introduced.
Because THIS ONE, this new “outrage”, this is going to be THE ONE, this
is going to be the “outrage orgasm” to end all outrage orgasms, and
they’re all going to resign, and then it’s going to be “Morning in
America” and it’s going to feel just like it did when we were kids
forever.
Why don’t I write more? Why don’t I comment extensively on these
daily crimes? Why don’t I record podcasts? Because I don’t want to be a
Hefner or Guccione or Flynt of this “outrage porn”, feeding this false
facade of “oh my gosh, we’re totally doing something” when in fact, you
are growing ever more flaccid and ever more supine with each passing
day, lost in the fantasy of your own potency.
I dunno. I just don’t know what more to do. I guess all I can do. Pray, and maybe spread a little Gospel. I dunno. Read her whole post HERE
I guess we now know why the Secret Service hasn't done anything about the usurper non-American Obama. They're all a bunch of moral degenerates without any honor or integrity. This culture has been duped by the Marxist cultural and media infiltration into believing that a person's sexual conduct doesn't matter. Well, it does. It is reported today that the unofficial motto among married Secret Service agents is "Wheels up, rings off." If a man will stab his own wife in the back and just can't wait to screw hookers, why would you expect any level of integrity in any other facet of his life? Would you honestly expect such a man or men to lay down their careers in service to the Constitution? SEX MATTERS. In fact, it is one of the single most telling aspects of a person's soul. Good people are chaste. That means that people who are not married don't have sex. People who are married only have sex with their spouse. EVER. That is chastity. Wail and moan all you want, but you know I'm right. Deal with it. If you find yourself making any excuses or arguments for anything less than the definition of chastity that I just laid out, then you are, yourself, in the depths of your very soul, under the demonic grip of the Marxist infiltration of our society. In other words, you're a good little Commie stooge.source
The Secret Service employs approximately 3,200 special agents, 1,300 Uniformed Division officers, and more than 2,000 other technical, professional and administrative support personnel. source
I think what is so disturbing to most people is the agents in Colombia were charged with one of the most important jobs they preform, advance detail for keeping the president safe, not to mention the world-wide embarrassment.
You remember - the one that that doesn't go in reverse (a very dangerous modification compliments of our nanny state) unless I keep the key in backup mode. Inquiring minds want to know.

HELL NO. H.E.L.L. N.O. Do not comply with this.

The time-honored initiation into working the family farm could one day be a thing of the past, with discussions underway in Washington to require operators of farm equipment to have a commercial driver's license, or CDL. (snip) The requirements would subject farmers to the same rules governing truck drivers, requiring them to keep logs and limit their hours.
--------------------------------------------------
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the point of civil disobedience being a MORAL OBLIGATION. You CAN NOT, you MUST NOT comply with this under ANY circumstance whatsoever. This is a means of getting control of your land and production. They want to force you off the tractor and get their own "professional drivers" in, who will then have to power to control and/or sabotage your planting and harvest. Not to mention the fact that they want you paying their union thug $80 per hour while you are sitting in the house twiddling your thumbs. These professional drivers would most likely be unionized and illegal aliens. You know I'm right.
Somehow, in the past 50 or so years, the entire concept of health insurance has been turned inside out and upside down. No longer do we insure against a catastrophic event, what was once called a "major medical" policy, but now expect our insurance to pay for hangnails and head colds.
As a nation, we run to the doctor for the most trivial of reasons because "it's free." This phenomenon is not relegated to the people who are insured through their employer, but includes Medicare recipients also.
A number of years ago, I had a lady friend who was on Medicare. She had problems with the maintenance of her toenails and so her doctor referred her to a podiatrist. Every six weeks, she visited the podiatrist to have her nails clipped, not by the doctor, but by an assistant in the office. Medicare was billed for an office visit and for the clipping of her nails, a procedure that could have been performed by any competent manicurist. Of course, if she went to manicurist, she would have to pay $5.00 or $10.00 to have her nails clipped. Why do that when you can get it done for "free."
Both my husband and I are recent receivers of this abomination called Medicare. Unlike most recipients, I carefully review the statements for our services. Just a few weeks ago, my husband had a electrocardiogram performed. When I saw the amount billed to Medicare, I almost had a stroke. A relatively simple procedure, the technology of which has long since paid for, cost close to $4,000.00. A doctor isn't even required to do the procedure, a technician being sufficient for the job. Admittedly, a doctor "reads" the results, which were already known to us by the nurse. What Medicare actually paid the clinic for the procedure is an unknown, but not for long, since I plan on spending some quality time with the billing office to find out this information.
Except for a period in which I worked for Costco, we self-ensured by carrying the equivalent of a "major medical" policy with a high ($2500.00 - $5000.00) deductible. Our doctor had opted out of the whole insurance racket, which was fine with us. If we needed to see him, an average office call amounted to $60.00. Often, he spent at least an hour with us. Contrast that with our new Medicare provider, which we are lucky to have as most doctors don't accept Medicare patients. He bills Medicare an average of $200.00 - $300.00 per visit, which lasts an average of 15 minutes. This is necessary because he is only compensated a percentage of this amount. And around and around it goes.
Obama, when he's not golfing, specializes in division - race against race, rich against poor, and old against young. The majority of comments on Medicare are young people railing against us oldsters. How dare us expect to get our health care for "free." Might I remind them that we were not given a big say-so in this whole deal, and that we have paid into it since its inception. Problem is, there are many of us who know the system is rigged. My mother, who worked in the health field, knew back in the 60's that Medicare was not a good thing, and was not in favor of its passage.
All you lefty loons who think Obamacare is the solution, had better wake up and do a bit of research. If Obamacare remains in effect, something I doubt will happen, your "health care" will consist of sitting on a waiting list to see one of the few doctors still practicing. But, cheer up - it'll be "free."
"Fixing" the system is simple. I've said it over and over and people with all sorts of fancy degrees to back me up.
Get rid of employer provided insurance, something that arose as a result of wage controls.
Go back to the concept of "major medical" policies and pay for your own routine office visits (oh, the inhumanity.)
Tort reform to limit frivolous law suits so your doctor doesn't have to practice "defensive" medicine.
Ann Barnhardt, of bacon laden Koran burning fame, explains it simply it her trademark no-nonsense style - and we thank her.
Update:
I apologize for not including Ann's link. Bookmark her site. She posts some exceptionally good articles.
My buddy, Zilla of the Resistance, has a very interesting post about the possible motivations of Donald Trump brought to you compliments of Ann Barnhardt. I think Ann's theory has a tremendous amount of potential for truth. See what you think.
If This Truly IS Trump's Motivation, He's a Genius and I Hope He Goes For It!
[...]Ann has a very interesting theory as to what may be the real motivation behind Donald Trump's pursuing Obama's birth certificate issue, and surely his investigation of Captain wtf has yielded lots of useful information. I am posting her theory below: read the theory
