Month: May 2020

The Tunbridge Fair is cancelled.

Fair season is on hiatus in Vermont, on orders from Gov. Phil Scott. That includes the Tunbridge World’s Fair...

The Tunbridge fair is (was) in September!!!

Overnight camps for kids have been closed for this summer. This particular one holds a special place in my heart, but what else could they have done under the circumstances.

As with certain other States Vermont has placed restrictions on travel until at least the middle of June. But with the possibilty that restrictions could be extended if our Governor decides they need to be.

Update: Governor Scott turns the spigot a little more.

The country has been through pandemics before, in 1969 it was the Hong kong flu [H3N2] Most anyone over the age of 65 can remember the big event that took place that year, besides the U.S. landing on the moon.

In 2009 we had the Swine Flu [H1N1] pandemic. No lockdown of the nation’s ecomony occured then. Of course the media’s messiah was in power then. Obama had other methods in mind to transform stagnate America’s economy.

But lets cut to the chase, Mainly it’s the Governors of (blue) States (Newsom of California) and (Cumo of New York) in particularthat have other motives besides stopping the spread of COVID-19. In deciding to keep thier citizens in lockdown, (1) they get to indulge their authoritarian fantasies and (2) if they keep the ecomony in the tank it’s hoped that the country will blame President Trump and vote him out of office in favor of a man who has no clue of what’s happening around him most of the time. This is the fantasy scenero of the deep state and the Marxist media.

In other parts of the world it seems that in the Nordic countries and in Japan lockdowns were not very effective.

It’s well know that Phil Scott is a never Trumper. I’m sure that this colors a lot of his decisions.

What will the state of Vermonts ecomony be this fall? Summer is very short, we won’t have long to find out.

Time to re-open the schools?

Personally I would like to see every government socialist indoctrination center closed permanently. Give parants real school choice. The money that people are forced to pay for public schools via property taxes should be instead given back to parants to allow them to obtain the tools to homeschool their children or to enroll in private/ parochial schools.

Public school teachers today are nothing more then Political Commissars. Education (reading, writing, and arithmatic) gave way long ago to (Marxist) indoctrination.

But be that as it may, it looks more and more that the schools, like the ecomony never needed to be shut down in the first place.

A little blue egg

Noticed a nest the other day on top of my garage door opener which by they way hasn’t worked in years.

I was surprised that there was only one.

We’ll just have to keep watch and see what develops.

Old people are expensive to keep alive you know.

An essay from Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel; An argument that society and families—and you—will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly.

That was in 2014, Dr. Death is singing a differernt tune now

A number of liberal pundits have accused anyone who suggests reopening the economy of trying to selfishly sacrifice their grandparents to the gods of Wall Street. When the Texas lieutenant governor argued that old people should volunteer to die and save the economy, it was a national story. But here we have a leading adviser to the presumptive candidate of the Democratic Party who once argued, before there was any crisis, that the elderly were an encumbrance of the young.

Are people getting fed up?

finally?

Tim Pool is a liberal who it seems values truth over ideology.

He asks that his video’s be shared because YouTube may remove them at any time.

Pool’s political commentary has been variously described as left-wing[34] and right-wing.[35] He has described himself as a social liberal who supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. According to Politico, Pool’s “views on issues including social media bias and immigration often align with conservatives'”.[36] According to Al Jazeera, “Pool has amplified claims that conservative media endure persecution and bias at the hands of tech companies.

The breadlines of a shattered economy.

Bread and soup lines during the 1930’s

Today the difference is that it’s a drive through

Bread and soup line 2020. A.K.A. “food banks”

Security provided by the “National Guard”.

The sad part is that all this is self inflected. The economy didn’t collapse for the same reasons as in 1929, this was mandated by our own governments.

No other pandemic in the past caused a response such as this. As democrats “never let a crisis go to waste”, this is Trump derangment syndrome in action. This is why blue state governors what this to go on as long as possible. The peoples misery be damned.

A Few Tid Bits

Went down to the local Dollar General and saw a sign that “masks” were now required to enter the store. I’ve so far refused to wear a mask as 1. I’m not sick, (depressed…yes) and 2. I refuse to live in fear. Unfortunately too many people it seems are afraid.

There can always be a silver lining if you look hard enough. With schools closed indoctrination is suspended. And that’s a good thing.
