This week at Colorado, our statewide order was extended until April 26. Gov. Jared Polis urged everybody to put on a mask of any kind while outside. Groceries are limiting customers to a every 120 square feet. For the very first time, my local playground on Tuesday was wrapped in bright yellow”CAUTION” tape. And in Brighton, Colorado, a father was handcuffed in a vacant park by three police officers to playing T-ball together with his 6-year-old daughter and wife.We aren’t a significant nation. The limitations and guidelines are unevenly applied and irrational.
While children’s swings and slides are crime scenes, pickleball courts in my city and golf courses are wide open.
Fast-food outlets and ice cream, dessert joints with delivery and takeout solutions are operating. But sit-down restaurants that have been staples in our neighborhood are forced to shut their doors.
Barbershops and baldness here were arranged to close three weeks ago, but government workers on landscaping crews who cut grass — like the ones I have observed all crammed together in a city truck — are still getting paychecks subsidized by the citizens sidelined in their jobs in the name of security and public health.
And across the nation, private gyms are banned spaces for its masses for weeks. While sanctimoniously taping public service announcements telling everybody to stay in your home but if you’re a star or Beltway elitist, you are still able to stay fit.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have been racking up media clicks by working suggestions from their Florida mansion and sharing family quarantine videos that were comfy. “We all need to look after ourselves, emotionally and physically, and also be respectful of their health and well-being of others. At a time when folks need to stay we can still find other ways to feel togetherness. However, this past week, the power couple was caught by paparazzi exiting a Miami fitness center whose front-door sign read:”This fitness center is not open. Stay home stay safe.”
Celebrities Mario Lopez and Mark Wahlberg have become homeschool scenes, sharing dancing patterns, home workouts and quarantine time favorites to reveal their commitment to self-isolation. But this past week, the enthusiast Hollywood bros ventured into a posh Los Angeles F45 Training facility to tape a partner workout together (using a two-person film crew) that they told their audiences to replicate in their flats or backyards.
The personal trainer of supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg whined that before last week, she was working out in the Supreme Court gym that was private. “Everybody’s been shut down,” coach Bryant Johnson told Law360, a legal news and analysis website. “The sole reason why I did not shut down the prosecution is because, hey, she ain’t needing it,” Johnson said.
Translation: We’re not”all in this together,” like the cliched hashtag saying goes. The privileged one of us get VIP gym accessibility during lockdown, while ordinary Americans are cooped up indoors doing pushups from the living space, lunges through the bedroom, makeshift treadmill runs in slick socks across the kitchen floor, and bicep curls using their jugs of laundry detergent.
Until they had been shamed on Nextdoor and other media outlets wealthy LA denizens were still flocking to trendy farmers markets last week. Throngs descended on the D.C. Maine Avenue Fish Market last weekend in defiance of stay-at-home orders. Spring break pupils and mardi Gras partiers formed dinosaurs while police sat in their hands. Philadelphia hoodlums are holding tailgate parties. New York subways stay stuffed with commuters on trains and platforms. But cops at Florida did crack down for holding services in his megachurch, and authorities in New Jersey arrested 15 attendees in an Orthodox Jewish rabbi’s funeral on a pastor in Tampa.
Mandatory mass isolation (or at least the illusion of it) is a efficient way to instill hysteria and disrupt lives but a poor means of actually protecting the most vulnerable. Selective distancing is a useless exercise in virus merit. Either we’re all in or we are all out. You can not blame curve-flattening to”social distancing” if huge swaths of people never practiced it opted out when convenient.
How long must we continue the charade? Public health autocrat Anthony Fauci insists we must keep on living like this before you can find”no fresh cases” and”no new deaths” — and before a vaccine (which his control-freak pal Bill Gates is working overtime to foist on the world) is set up. This is nuts. The zero-cases/zero-deaths standard doesn’t exist for every outbreak. We’re strangling ourselves in CAUTION tape, riddled with holes. Pretense is a pointless cure worse than any infectious disease.

Introducing President Trump’s”Council to Re-Open America,” better known as the Council to Re-Open America’s Borders:

Thus, let’s see. We have:
Gal pal and official Wuhan government adviser Elaine Chao;
Simps of Silicon Valley Jared Kushner (also a top EB-5 visas-for-sale investment promoter to wealthy Chinese), Ivanka Trump, and former Microsoft SVP Christopher Liddell;
Goldman Sachs cog Steven Mnuchin;

Chamber of illegal mysterious employer Wilbur Ross and Commerce loyalist.
Looks like back to Beltway company as usual!
Exit question: Why not assign the task and maintain the America swamp creatures in quarantine?

Hatred never rests. Hollywood has launched a new personality assassination vehicle targeting the late Phyllis Schlafly that was great. “Mrs. America” debuts on FX on Hulu this week using liberal actress Cate Blanchett starring as the traditionalist Catholic conservative activist who conquered the so-called Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and went on to helm the powerful Eagle Forum until her death at 92 in 2016.
Blanchett, who served as executive producer on the project, denies any prejudice against points and Schlafly into the refusal to talk as proof of its neutrality of the film staff. But blocking input from those who knew the phenomenal matriarch, attorney and author of more than 20 books conveniently enabled the Tinseltown fable-tellers to fabricate calumnious scenes out of atmosphere — such as a fantastical depiction of Schlafly’s devoted husband, Fred, forcing the feminine conservative pub to have sex against her will.
Together with the few both deceased and loved ones unable to shield their union of 44 decades, nobody and nothing stood in the way of Blanchett and Co. disseminating a cute lie crafted to throw conservative girls as abused captives with no independent bureau behind closed doors.
Anne Schlafly Cori, among the six children of Schlafly and seat of the Eagle Forum , vigorously refuted Blanchett’s depiction of her mum in trailers published before this Wednesday’s premiere. “Phyllis Schlafly was gracious and her beliefs were sincere.
I can testify to this. As a young conservative author in the early 1990s, the Phyllis Schalfly Report influenced my views on feminism, education, multiculturalism and immigration. (For my first newspaper column photo in the Los Angeles Daily News, I emulated her signature bun.) I admired vigilance, personality, grace output, Schlafly’s wisdom and dedication to family. In my travels as a journalist, I met legions of girls inspired by Schlafly to run for statewide and local offices and school board on behalf of faith, their families and state.
Schlafly was down-to-earth in person as her pillar voice and TV debates — and contrary to a Wall Street Journal film fighter’s attack on her”resentment” and”rage,” she was the most bizarre happy warrior with a twinkle in her eyes. Far from the”lone wolf” portrayal of Schlafly in”Mrs. America,” Schlafly was surrounded by old and new proteges and mentees. After publication of my first book,”Invasion,” in 2002, I was honored to get an”Eagle Award” from Schlafly and the Eagle Forum to get”unified leadership in bringing the facts to the American people.” A plaque signed by Schlafly hangs in my home office. I’m just one of thousands of conservative activists, volunteers, elected officials and media personalities that have received the honour since 1972.
The”Mrs. America” that nationalist conservatives celebrate was before the curve on the problems that defined the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, whom she endorsed in March 2016. These days, the new creation of donor-class elites work in backrooms to serve the same”Open Borders Inc.” agenda — and most are embedded in the Trump White House preventing it from within while stabbing American students, workers and taxpayers in the back.
If Pat Buchanan is the godfather of”America First,” Phyllis Schlafly is its godmother. For years, she lambasted globalism, unfair trade deals and border anarchy — earning derision from both the institution left and right in Washington (along with the smear merchants at the Southern Poverty Law Center) as being”racist,” anti-Semitic” and”bigoted.” Highlighting one of the Eagle Forum’s main reports in 2014 on”How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party,” Schlafly called out the cheap foreign labor lobby assessing American workers’ wages.

Importing 1 million fresh foreigners annually whose left-leaning and Dollars voting patterns are unmalleable, in addition to the 20 million illegal immigrants always clamoring for amnesty, is a recipe for both American meltdown and GOP suicide. “Outreach” is unworthy, Schlafly warned, with no”reducing the amount of immigrants allowed into the country each year. If legal immigration isn’t reduced, it will be just about impossible for conservatives to be successful on the issues we care for.”

As ever, Mrs. America’s ferocious emotion is more applicable than ever as major company, large technology, large ag and large academia oppose the will of these people for an immigration moratorium in the era of the ChiCom virus. Hollywood has completed by bringing renewed focus on the wisdom and patriotism of Phyllis 22, the American First motion a priceless favor. Meet it — and it’s up to the rest of us to recover her true legacy.

I Believe where most sane Men and Women are on the outbreak I am:
–Concerned but not panicked.
–Calm but not apathetic.
–Taking reasonable precautions but staying skeptical of what most of the supposedly”best specialists” here in america are telling us about every part of their belated emergency management and response (especially due to their pimping of vaccine development to prevent the disease).
Below are some simple, nonhysterical facts: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is a bloated federal government agency with a long history of incompetence, fraud, secrecy, mission creep and shady alliances with both social justice triggers on both left and private corporations on the large business right. The elites who have occupied offices that are top at the people complex are hostile to public scrutiny when clamoring for budgets. Their recommendations have often been detrimental to citizens’ well-being and freedom.
And, yes, lots there are rabidly anti-conservative and anti-Trump.
Cognitively impaired and truth-challenged Joe Biden made the claim during last week’s Democratic debate that these supposed”Draconian cuts” place Americans in danger. However, Trump’s budget proposal hasn’t been enacted, and funds was increased by Congress .
At nearly $7 billion, the yearly budget of CDC is more than 200% larger than it had. In addition to that, a dishonest big business lobbying group called Corporate Friends of CDC has raised hundreds of millions of supplemental dollars — that raises problems. In 2007,” Sen. Tom Coburn’s fiscal audit of the bureau found crude expenses including CDC syphilis prevention funds invested to host a”safe-sex” event with a porn star, CDC HIV/AIDS prevention funds spent a transgender beauty pageant, and $45 million in CDC funds spent conferences featuring prostitutes, protests and beach parties.
The bureau been captured flat-footed on outbreak. They squander untold countless other health threats in favor of pushing gun control and grandma state hobby horses (TV violence, helmet legislation, video games, anti-bullying attempts and explicit sex education, for example). CDC has one job — Disease Control — but has managed to botch it without ever learning from failures. Let me remind you of some of the CDC’s long history of:
–The infamous 1976 swine flu vaccine scandal was catalyzed by mass hysteria whipped up by CDC junk scientists clamoring for more cash; Congress obliged and nearly 45 million Americans were unnecessarily jabbed using a vaccine for a disease which had fizzled by the time the shots were ready. The vaccine resulted in a heightened risk of developing Guillain-Barre syndrome — resulting in muscular weakness and paralysis.

In 2000, the bureau basically lied to Congress about the way that it spent around $7.5 million earmarked annually since 1993 for study on the deadly hantavirus. “Instead, seemingly without requesting Congress, the CDC spent much of the money on other programs that the agency believed needed the funds more,” The Washington Post revealed at the time. The diversions were impossible to trace because of CDC bookkeeping practices that are Terrible.
In 2009, the CDC recalled 800,000 doses of flu vaccine for children ages 6 months to 3 years after the goods made by Sanofi Pasteur failed effectiveness tests.
In 2012, the CDC’s most important building housing infectious anthrax, SARS and monkeypox gases had been found to have been leaking pathogens due to a flawed engineered airflow system.
In 2014, while sick, the CDC’s lackadaisical response to Ebola virus gave the greenlight to medical personnel that were infected and Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan to board commercial airlines — exposing numbers of travelers to the deadly disease. Expensive isolation chambers which was subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of $15 million sat buried at a Georgia warehouse.
–For the last couple of years, the bureau has employed a fear campaign to induce Americans to get routine flu shots (formulated according to guesswork) using flawed statistics and despite international scientific decisions that there’s”no evidence” to support the CDC’s assumptions that the vaccine reduces transmission of this virus or the danger of potentially deadly complications.
–Only this week, the Informed Consent Action Network reported astounding consequences from its litigation against the CDC to acquire scientific documentation for the bureau’s claim that”vaccines do not cause autism” — especially for its initial seven vaccines given to your child in their first six months of life. CDC had stonewalled, and then finally generated 20 studies — 18 of which have been insignificant to the public records request of ICAN and 2 of which suggest that vaccines may indeed bring about autism.
As if to underscore my point about this bureau’s misdirected priorities and rank political pandering, the CDC manager this week saw it more urgent to condemn Republicans as bisexual for accurately describing the origins of this virus in Wuhan, China, than to perform his job.
Informed analysis: The”best people” — who have now been rewarded with over $8.3 billion in new”emergency funding” — are not in charge.
