We all need a mental health break...

 to sit back and contemplate the insanity.

Today is Columbus Day. 

It is not indigenous peoples day.

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE: Proclamation on Columbus Day, 2020.

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.

Thank you, President Trump. 

And - Hello, Columbus—Celebrate The Great Man!

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!

Are COVID Case Surges More Fake News?

Cuomo is handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines to people who don't follow his draconian rules. Want to go to church? Fugetaboutit!  

NYC Cracks Down, Issues $150,000 In Fines For Failure To Comply With Shutdown Guidelines In COVID Hot Zones

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.

Bayou Renaissance Man has some interesting information about the upcoming chaos, both first hand, and by way of Second City Cop.  Is he right?  IMO - yes.

Project Veritas: PART 1: CNN Insider Blows Whistle on Network President Jeff Zucker’s Personal Vendetta Against POTUS

CNN Insider:  "I just want people to have the information and make up their own minds."

Now - do I have to tell you how the ignorant violent smug Godless commie/libtards will make up their minds?  I didn't think so. 

I'm shocked at the lack of proper articulation and grammar from people who consider themselves journalists.  Like, ya know? 




By the way - It's Columbus Day,  not indigenous people's day.

Questions

When did the news readers become the news ala Shep Smith?

It's not Indigenous People's Day...

no matter what some people declare.


From Weasel Zippers:  At Least U.S. Nine Cities Now Celebrate “Indigenous People’s Day” In Place Of Columbus Day…

Why am I not surprised to see St. Paul, MN on the list?

Word is that Elizabeth Warren is ecstatic over the move.

First off, the Indians were probably invaders from Asia.  They didn't just spring fully formed from the mud of Iowa.

When did this revisionist history start its long seep into the minds of Americans?

Some comments from WZ:
They made war, they held slaves, they ran other tribes off their lands. They were just like everybody else on the planet at the time. They have been romanticized into fantasy.

Oh you mean the violent savagery, environmental destruction, and the utter lack of any invention or technological progress?

Yes indeed, by all means let's celebrate the great contributions of the "Native American" before Columbus. So, in the 10,000 years native Americans lived free from European pestilence, they produced no lasting structures on American soil, no written language, no political or philosophical treatises of any kind, no Plato, Socrates or Homer, indeed , let's celebrate.

 And so I close with:



and to our friends in Canada:
