Yesterday the pontificating beuroweenies at Panhandle Health re-issued a mask mandate - this time in the five northern counties of Idaho.
I will not wear a mask. Ever.
One of our local patriots, Casey Whelan, just posted a video of the complaints to the police department in Coeur d'Alene against businesses or individuals not wearing masks. Some of these calls were even made on the 911 line. Are you freak'n kidding me?
Different states and cities are putting in curfews since apparently you can only catch Wuflu between 10 pm and 5 am., and demanding you wear masks in your home.
On Wednesday I popped into Wallyworld and our local grocery store. I was shocked at how many people were wearing masks. I did have a nice conversation with an un-masked lady, probably in her late 80's, who had no problem saying, "It's all about fear and control" And another chat with a nice lady (also un-masked) in the frozen veggie aisle comparing our recipes for our home-made doggie food.
I have yet to encounter anyone being aggressive towards me due to my being unmasked. However, with this new mandate, I fear that may change. Am I to be forced to shop at 3 am in order to feel safe? The mask Nazis who attacked me on Costco Insider sounded pretty dang violent and unhinged.
And what the hell is going on with Tucker? Does he have a death wish?
Don Surber:
Cucker Tarlson sells out:
As Fox News slides into its new CNN lite format, some conservatives are in denial. But Tucker, they cry. They will boycott the rest of Fox -- except for Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
That's like giving up alcohol for Lent except for beer, wine, and bourbon.
Its prime time shows are its biggest moneymakers. Giving up Cavuto or some other minor show means nothing to Fox. The big money is in prime time. That is why they call it prime time.
And Carlson is laughing at his conservative viewers now. Last night, Carlson crapped on Sidney Powell for not going on his show and proving the president's case.
Who does he think he is? Chief Justice Tucker Carlson? read the rest
She is not Catholic - in fact, she has excommunicated herself.
She is not a priest
Donning the dress of the KKK could be considered cultural appropriation
She is more than slightly nuts.
In honor of May Day Kurt Schlichter has this to say about the "resistance"
[...] Really, that #TheResistance could throw at us, because #TheResistance is not really resisting Trump as much as it is resisting us. The elite establishment is outraged that we normals have demanded to govern ourselves rather than begging for scraps from our betters in DC, NY and LA. It wasn’t just that horrible, sick old woman that we rejected; it was them. And by doing so, we “stole” what they see as their birthright to reign sovereign over us. They try to cover up their humiliation with tales of “Russians” and “hacking” because the truth is too painful to face. This election was about the people they sought to rule looking at them and their track record of failure and saying, “Nah, you suck.
I've noticed that the libtards, in particular the pussy hat wearing bunch, have been sort of quiet lately on social media.
No one has denied them birth control, raided the homes of Mexicans, cut off anyone's medical care (although some Muslim girls have lost their girlie bits, but we won't mention that), and they can still kill their babies in the womb. Things are good.
Michelle Obama on her daughters leaving the White House:
'They had a sleepover, because of course on Inauguration Day, because my girls are so normal, they're like, "Well, eight girls are gonna be sleeping here because it's our last time, and we want pizza and we want nuggets." And it's like, really?' the former first lady said Thursday at the American Institute of Architects conference.
Mrs Obama said Inauguration Day was difficult for her daughters, ages 18 and 15, who had to leave the home they've lived in for the past eight years.
'Right before the doors opened and we welcomed in the new family, our kids were leaving out the back door in tears, saying goodbye to people,' she said, adding that she did her best to remain composed. source
Eloquent! Does that count as a comment?
Do We Own Too Much Stuff?
I'm of the opinion that we do and I've been on a quest to reduce the amount of stuff in my home.
The ease with which I can order from Amazon seems, on the surface, to sidetrack my quest.
Last week, after my hubby bemoaned not having a hand held vac and waxing poetic about our old Dustbuster from eons ago, I hopped on the Amazon and spent $50.00 bucks for the highest rated one they had - the Black and Decker 16V Cordless Lithium Battery Hand Vac. It was marked down almost $10.00 from $59.00.
NB: There is another Black and Decker floating around that looks identical to this one for $39.00. It's not lithium and it's not 16V.
Anyhoo, I thought it was a slightly stupid purchase and not needed. So.......guess who's been using it almost non-stop since it arrived?
Why me, of course. Crumbs in the drawers, leaves shed from my house plants, litter outside the kitty outhouse, little puffs of kitteh floating around the house, and the brush flip up attachment for removing even more kitteh from the upholstery.
It's been a yuuuuge time saver, and at my age anything that sames time is priceless.
No Side Bar has a short and concise article on Being Content with What You Have that pretty much outlines some of the steps I go through before making a purchase.
Mr. Surber's "I'm fed up and not going to take it anymore" article, I do not want civil discourse,
may well end up the most linked in history. And for good reason.
While many people, including those on the right, were swooning over Obama's "unifying speech" at a political rally masquerading as a memorial, the real story was percolating in the minds of people who have become fed up with being called stupid, redneck, racist, right-wing terrorists, who cling to their guns and religion.
While Obama's machine might be thinking their manipulation of the real incivility that has taken place this past week is working to the benefit of the lefties of this country, the exact opposite is happening. People have been given a clear view of the minds of those who would use the deaths of innocent people to advance their agenda - and it's not a pretty sight.
Fuzzy Slippers puts into words what we encountered this past week:
I was in shock, to be honest. I mean it's one thing to have ideological differences, and it's quite another to accuse someone, or multiple someones, not only of being capable of, but of actually carrying out, murder. It's one thing to have two different visions for the direction of our country, and quite another to so easily, so readily, so happily believe that our fellow citizens are not only capable of, but actually keen on, committing murder. It's mind-boggling, if you think about it.*
While many of us are not willing to put up with being attacked in a vicious manner by those on the left, the method of fighting back is not as clear. The cute little video below sheds some light on dealing with the left, whose disdain of logic and their denial of reality eventually forces them into name-calling because it's really all they have. Unlike the video, many of these people will devolve into full blown rage because you are a threat to their world view that they have invested a lifetime in constructing.
To argue with someone who lacks any semblance of logic and lives in a reality of their own making is like using a cloud for a sparring partner. You may come away from the encounter thinking you've improved your boxing but the reality is you've wasted your time.
Dr. Sanity sums it up nicely for us:
Today's political left are the hands-down, gold medal winners in the Denial of Reality Sweepstakes. Watch them spin, lie, distort and finally resort to personal attacks on their critics without any debate on the facts--and learn all you need to know about their creatively dysfunctional coping.
Reality is coming for them. The spectacle would be interesting if only they did not intend to drag the rest of us along with them into the abyss.
They can rage against reality all they want. It won't change anything. But I imagine that getting all those intense feelings out will be sufficient for the children of the left, since that is the only 'reality' they care about or understand. **
It is my contention that by paying attention to these people, they are encouraged and driven to escalate their attacks. The vile Hollywood types thumb their noses at us while we fill their pockets with more money by attending their movies. The Bill Maher's and Joy Behar's of the world spread filth and we link to them. Conservative bloggers spend more time linking to these moonbats than the left does, and as Stacy McCain would probably say, "there's no such thing as a bad link." We waste time by engaging in petty online verbal gymnastics with lunatics while the real work goes undone.
I learned early on that when someone asked what I came to call "the Catholic questions"about my faith to make my response, "Are you asking because you really want to know, or do you just want to argue? Because if arguing is your intention, I don't have time."
Let's start treating the lefties the same way - with indifference. While it isn't necessary to accept their foul attacks, fight back by not making time for them, spending money on their products, watching their TV shows, or going to their movies. Try ignoring their online rants and not linking them. Instead, call your Congressman or write a letter to your Senator with all that extra time you'll have.
Other people who are unwilling to put up with the lunatics anymore:
