My Take on the Debate

I'm sure you all are on pins and needles waiting to hear my take on the debate last night.  Well, here you go.  There wasn't really a debate.  Every time President Trump would start debating, Chris Wallace would stop it.  Biden did nothing but spew lies, call names, and laugh.

I know a lot of people may think that President Trump was interrupting too much.  But all he was doing was trying to tell the truth and correct the lies.  He had to interrupt because Wallace would not let him respond to the lies.  Wallace wouldn't let him respond at all.

Biden did not debate.  He just spewed lies, disrespected the president by calling him all kinds of different names, and would just smile and laugh condescendingly.  Very childish and unprofessional.  Biden even lied about stuff where there is evidence-- video evidence to prove President Trump right. 

One example was when Biden said he never called soldiers a certain vulgar name -- there is video evidence to prove that he did.  Yet he still denied it.  When Biden claimed that law enforcement endorsed him, President Trump asked Biden to name specific law enforcement that endorses him and he flat out refused to answer the question.  Because there are none.  It was a joke. I could go on with examples of Biden's lies and incompetence, but it should be fairly obvious if you watched the debate.

President Trump was right when he said that he was debating Chris Wallace and not Biden.  Wallace was the worst moderator I have ever witnessed.  Totally and completely biased towards helping Biden and thwarting President Trump.  Biden had his rehearsed lines.  It was really more of a press conference than debate.

President Trump tried to make it a debate, but Chris Wallace would have none of it.  Chris had to coddle his demented fellow leftist. Par for the course for the media.

It would have been nice to have an actual debate but obviously Joe Biden is incapable of anything close to an actual debate with a man as smart as President Trump.  Chris Wallace made sure there would be no actual debate with all of his interruptions and stopping President Trump from refuting the lies and stopping President Trump anytime he asked Joe Biden a good question or made a good point.

Still, I think the American people are smart enough to figure out that President Trump is a fighter and will always do what is best for America and the American people.  President Trump is sincere, unlike plastic two-faced Biden.  President Trump wants to make America great again and keep America great.  Unlike Biden and the left who only want to help themselves while destroying America.  President Trump was up against two people last night and still crushed it.

That's my two cents.

Spirit of the Game

I don't usually do movie recommendations.  I'm not a movie person and most of them are not worth watching.  But I saw a good movie and I'm going to recommend it to you.  It's called Spirit of the Game.

You can watch it on Prime -- it is included if you have an account.  I think it's a movie everybody would enjoy. It is a true story about missionaries in Australia forming a basketball team as a way to reach more people.

If you have served a mission you may appreciate it more but it is universally appealing.  Anyway I hope you will watch this movie and enjoy it.

That's my two cents.

Proof That Masks Are Political

September 17, 2020

The CDC director has doubled down on masks, but is he wrong?

By Andrea Widburg

The CDC has had more prominence this year than usual, thanks to the Wuhan virus.  However, when America looked to it for help, it wasn't ready, whether with tests or useful advice.  Its lack of preparedness might have been because the CDC's been expending its time and your money training its people in Critical Race Theory (CRT) rather than disease control.  And while I'm currently agnostic about a vaccination's efficacy (I need a lot more information), I'm also suspicious when the CDC's director, Dr. Robert Redfield, announces that his surgical mask is what will save him and what will save all of us.

Aside from being inherently distrustful of the CDC thanks to its epic run of errors and unpreparedness, I'm also suspicious about the timing of Redfield's attack on Trump's plans for the vaccination.  The CDC just engaged in a small but significant power struggle with Trump.  Days after Trump exercised his constitutional executive authority to end CRT seminars in federal agencies, the CDC announced that it would proceed with a mandatory 13-week CRT seminar.  The administration has canceled the training, but it's clear that the CDC is at war with the administration.

There's one more reason why I'm skeptical about Redfield's praise for masks when he spoke before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee.  I recently received an email from someone who specializes in masks, and he gave me some fascinating facts that I'll share with you (with my correspondent's permission).

Here's Dr. Redfield.  Please note that the mask he's waving around is the classical surgical mask.  It's thin and fits relatively loosely over the nose and mouth:

 

To set the stage, the person who sent the email is a chemist who has worked in the filtration industry.  He's helped develop masks used in medical and industrial settings.  He also holds patents on several filters.  As he says, "I know a little bit about filters."  That's why he believes that masks of the type Redfield is waiving around are useless:

Surgical masks were not designed as filters and were not intended to be used as filters. Surgical masks were designed to be used by surgeons standing face down over an operating table holding a patient with an open wound. The surgeon wearing the mask would be able to talk to others in the room without discharging spittle droplets into the patient's wound. Spittle droplets are large and can cause infection. 

I witnessed a test of surgical masks. Small plaster particles were generated in a room. They were visible as a white dust in the air. A man was properly fitted with a surgical mask and spent a short time in the room. When he came out, the mask was removed. A camera was focused on the man's face. The entire area that had been covered by the mask was coated by the white dust. The camera showed that his nostrils and his mouth had been penetrated by the white dust. The dust particles were measured and found to be around 40 micrometers in diameter. The particles that penetrated the mask were the same diameter. 

Covid-19 virus molecules are about 0.1 micrometers in diameter. That is 400 times smaller than the plaster particles that penetrated the mask. 

Surgical masks will not prevent the wearer from inhaling or exhaling viruses or bacteria. They provide absolutely no protection for either the wearer or anyone nearby. They create a very dangerous false sense of security for everyone. They also force the wearer to rebreathe carbon dioxide, which will, over time, reduce the wearer's blood oxygen level. That can become very dangerous, especially for older people.

This farce is being promoted by sleazy politicians who believe that if they can convince people that they are protecting them or creating a safe environment for them by pushing this mask farce, those people will re-elect them. 

All politicians pushing this dangerous mask farce should be voted out of office as soon as possible.

I'm already starting to hear anecdotal evidence that students are getting fungal and bacterial infections thanks to the masks they have to wear all day (especially because students don't keep their masks very clean).  This is worrisome because the front of the face is called "the triangle of death" because it's close to the brain.  When a doctor who has government power at his back waves around a mask that has no utility and can cause bad infections in vulnerable areas, I start to worry. -- American Thinker.com

I decided to include the full article because it shows the politics behind mask mandates.  I would certainly trust a chemist who works in the filtration industry and has developed masks for medical settings.  More than I would trust some politician or CDC director who never studied mask design or how they work as filters.  You're not taught that in medical school. 

But it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that if particles 400 times larger than a virus can easily penetrate a surgical mask, then certainly the Chinese coronavirus-- or any virus for that matter -- would have no trouble getting through the mask.

Like the filter expert was explaining, surgical masks were designed to prevent large droplets from entering and infecting open wounds. There were not designed to filter viruses.

The CDC director, Doctor Robert Redfield, is irresponsible at best and I would call it malpractice to suggest that the surgical mask is more efficacious at stopping the virus and spread of COVID-19 than a vaccine.  That's absolutely ridiculous. Either he's lying through his teeth or he is the stupidest doctor on the planet.

This entire Wuhan China coronavirus pandemic has been political from the get go.  It's no coincidence that now that Trump has a vaccine that will likely be ready around election time, that the left is pooh-poohing the vaccine. Instead they are pushing the dangerous facemask.  Which has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics.

You would think, of all people, that the director of the Centers for Disease Control would want to protect Americans, like President Trump wants to.  President Trump single-handedly pushed this vaccine production way ahead of schedule.  President Trump actually cares about Americans and wants to protect us and save lives.  Apparently Doctor Redfield and the CDC cares more about politics than people.

That's my two cents.

Symbol of Fear

Here is more evidence that the mask is just a symbol.  It symbolizes fear.  Rush Limbaugh was talking about the NFL and their anti-American antics. Ratings are way down from last year.  But the NFL head honchos don't care about that.  What are they concerned about?  Wearing masks.

Here is a quote from Rush Limbaugh today:

"Anyway, so while they’re demanding that everybody on the sidelines, from the coaches to the medical staff to the trainers to whoever, all wear masks and all maintain social distancing, right out there on the field you got 22 players not wearing masks who are not maintaining a social distancing of six feet. They’re out playing the game of football. They are exchanging bodily fluids in one of many different ways, including sweat and spit, and there are no steps being taken whatsoever to mitigate. And yet the league is insistent that over there on the sidelines everybody wear the masks. 

"Now, to me — look, I understand the league. They’ve got a bunch of local and state authorities that they have to keep happy here if they’re gonna get exemptions to have these games played eventually with fans in the stands. But just the hypocrisy of this is illustrative of the cockamamie aspects of all of it. If you can have 22 guys out there playing the game and not protected in any way, then you’re gonna get upset over people on the sidelines not wearing masks and so forth — is it okay for the 22 guys playing to get infected? Is it okay that they run the risk? Is it okay that they take no steps at mitigating? 

"Well, obviously it is because if they were to wear masks and if they were to maintain proper social distancing, guess what? There wouldn’t be any games. No way you can play football with a social distancing requirement of six feet. And there is no way you’re gonna get top athletic performance from skilled players wearing masks who need to be able to breathe unencumbered. 

"...National Football League players are tested every day. I don’t know — look. I think everybody is. I think the support staff, the coaches, the trainers, I think they’re all tested every day. You might say, well, then what does the mask mean? Why wear the mask? The mask is a symbol, folks. The mask means you are to be afraid." -- Rush Limbaugh.com, September 14, 2020 

The hypocrisy shows how crazy this is.  It's okay for 22 guys to play full contact tackle football, within inches of each other, breathing each other's air -- yet as soon as they go to the sidelines they have to wear a mask?  How ridiculous!

I actually noticed this watching a little college football this past week. The players coming off the field, remove their helmets and put their face masks on.  After they have just breathed on everyone on the field.  I saw a marching band socially distanced in the stands with masks on, blowing their trumpets and other instruments.  Thereby spewing viruses everywhere.  The mask will not stop a virus. Which, actually is not really a concern because they are outside, but it's the concept of wearing a mask while playing an instrument that is insane.

Wearing masks outside is unnecessary.  Ironically, the only people that might be spreading the virus outside are the 22 players on the field who are in close contact with each other.  Yet they are the only ones not wearing masks.  It's humorous.

Honestly, if healthy young athletes contract COVID-19 they will recover.  Most of them probably won't even know they have it or will have mild symptoms like a cold.  So why the big deal about masks and social distancing?  These are the exact people we need to get exposed to the virus to create herd immunity to protect the vulnerable.

It's all a political game. Democrats will do anything to try to regain power.  Including government mandates to wear face masks intended to instill fear and control people.

These nonsensical mask requirements for football certainly don't protect anyone from contracting the Chinese novel coronavirus.  But they do serve to control people by removing their agency and instilling excessive, unnecessary fear in people.

That's my two cents.

No College Football Picks

Some of you may be wondering if we are doing college football picks this year.  The answer is no.  Unfortunately with the pandemic restrictions, a lot of teams and conferences are pansying out on playing this season.  Along with the uncertainty of the NCAA and college football teams and players bowing to the "we are trained Marxists" Black Lives Matter communist organization.  Everything about sports has become a politicized circus.  Which we don't care to see or participate in.

I was hoping college football and sports in general would not bow to the left and their communist agenda.  But a lot of them are, unfortunately.  Nobody seems to have a backbone anymore.  Although most football fans are actually patriotic conservative Americans.  Which is why I don't understand the kowtowing to communism.  I guess everybody in sports management is a yellow bellied pansy brainwashed by the left.

Professional sports will die a slow death if they don't grow a backbone and decry communism and the organizations they support such as self-described Marxists BLM.  BLM has never been about social justice.  They are all about communism and increasing racism.  They like divisiveness, contention, and control.  That's what they are about.

I didn't watch the Kansas State game because they had BLM plastered on their jerseys.  And I quit watching the Notre Dame -- Duke game because Duke had the communist symbol of hate, tyranny and control on their helmets-- a black fist. The Marxist/Communist BLM didn't even bother to change it from the communist icon/symbol.  It is exactly the same. Communist leaders throughout history have used the raised fist as a symbol of Communist power.

I'm sick and tired of one race being celebrated while other races are denigrated. We are all human beings.  Many other races have faced racism besides blacks.  In fact, I'm confident in saying all races have faced racism to one degree or another.  Right now it's all about disparaging white people. Even white people are reviling and attacking their own race.

In fact it's racism to promote black lives over any other race.  And most black people will tell you that very thing.  I honestly can't believe people are so stupid as to promote and celebrate an evil communist organization like Black Lives Matter.  Neither can the majority of this country who are still patriotic Americans who love their country and what it stands for, and are not willing to give up their freedoms to support sports.

The pro football game was booed because of their anti-American politicization of the game.  Politics has no business in sports.  I'm glad ratings were way down and I'm glad they were booed by patriotic Americans who just want to watch a football game and not be propagandized and brainwashed by the left's lies.

I'm sorry to see sports die a slow death.  But patriotic Americans can only take so much.  Watching a football game -- or basketball -- or baseball -- or hockey -- or any game is not worth losing our country to communism and thereby losing our freedoms.  Sports franchises and leagues are killing themselves because, heaven knows, the yellow bellied BLM, Antifa, and Communist supporters are not the sports watching type.  True patriotic Americans are who watch sports.  And we've had a gutful!

So sorry to those of you who are looking forward to another year of college football picks.  We are sad that we cannot do it this year.  But with all of the political interference -- between ridiculous pandemic regulations and the preposterous and absurd Anti-American, communist BLM support of sports organizations -- it's not much of a college football season anyway. :-(

That's my two cents.

A Mere 19 Years

Today is the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our nation.  I remember this day very well, 19 years ago.  As I've been reflecting on that day, there is a stark contrast in how we all came together as Americans back then and how divided we are today.

19 years ago the police were lauded as heroes.  They were put on a pedestal and admired, praised and respected.

19 years ago American flags sold out in stores.  Everyone was flying an American flag and production was ramped up.  American flags were everywhere.  Including on peoples cars.

Americans across the country were lining up to donate blood to help their fellow man.

My how things have changed in a mere 19 years.

Today many are calling for defunding the police.  Police are looked down on as racist and brutal.  Police are being beaten and killed by rioting mobs.

Today American flags are being disrespected and dishonored.  Every single professional sports league is disrespecting America by dishonoring the flag and our national anthem.  They are kneeling during the national anthem -- basically spitting in the face of all those who have fought to protect our freedoms, including my dad.  Sports leagues are celebrating communism and oppression through support of Marxist organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

And instead of people lining up to help their fellow man by donating blood to the Red Cross -- people are shedding the blood of their fellow man through violence and riots.

It's disgusting and extremely sad how far our society has degraded in a mere 19 years.  The media -- which is an arm of the Democrat party -- is very powerful in brainwashing people into believing their lies -- especially television and social media.

The moral decline of this country over the past 19 years is astounding.  I often feel like a stranger here.  Living in the twilight zone.  Wondering if I'm the only sane person left on earth.

But there are still many good people in this country who are not brainwashed by the left.  There are still many people who believe America is great.  Our president, Donald J. Trump, being one of them.  He has kept his campaign promises and has steered our country in the right direction.  He has undone much of the damage that Obama did in trying to destroy our country.  And I'm confident that come November 3 the majority of those good people still left in this country will cast their vote for President Trump.  So that he can continue his work in making America great again.

That's my two cents.

Deaths Decline Dramatically

This is directly off the CDC's website.  According to this graph, deaths from COVID-19 have dropped off dramatically and are miniscule now.

I got this graph off of a wonderful article in American thinker: You can read it here.



There are still cases -- because testing has ramped up so much -- but very few are dying from Coronavirus Disease.  And as indicated even by this graph, and as mentioned many times, this disease affects mainly old people.

Why are we still wearing masks?  Why are we still social distancing?  Why are we still under lockdown?

It's absolutely ridiculous that kids are not in school.  I haven't been able to go to church for six months.  College football is a joke.  Even the U.S. Open had zero people in the stands.

How many times do I have to say that this virus is nothing more than a glorified flu?  The data is vastly skewed and inaccurate.  Yes, some people die from it.  Such is life.  Pandemics always run their course and fizzle out.

From this CDC graph, it appears that this pandemic has all but fizzled out.  But I guess we can't get back to normal until after November 3.  For some crazy reason, Democrats think that they can blame this overblown pandemic on President Trump.  The Democrats don't realize that the only people Americans are blaming for this pandemic is China and Democrats.

After six months of unnecessary lock down and ruin of many lives and livelihoods, Americans are starting to see the true colors of the Democrats.  And the lengths that Democrats will go to in order to try to gain power and control over Americans.

There will be a backlash at the polls come November 3.  We patriotic Americans don't take too kindly to losing our liberty and freedoms.  Especially when duped into it by Democrats.

That's my two cents.

Happy Birthday President Nelson

Today President Nelson turns 96 years old!  He's still sharp as a tack and does not seem his age.  He gets around better than people 20 years younger than him.

I am grateful for a living prophet on Earth today who helps guide us through these difficult days of mortality.  President Nelson has always been one of my favorite apostles because he is a medical doctor.  So I always looked up to him and admired him.

President Nelson has done many wonderful things during his call as Apostle and now Prophet. He is helping all of us prepare the world for the Second Coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Lord's work is hastening, as time is short and there is much work to do.  But the most important job of an apostle or prophet is to testify of Jesus Christ.

Happy 96th Birthday, President Nelson!

We all love you.

That's my two cents.

Narcissist Nancy

I'm not feeling well so this will be short.  But I want to give you my two cents.

The Democrats are the Gadianton robbers of our day using their secret combinations to destroy our country.

First of all, Nancy Pelosi can't get more idiotic.  She is a typical narcissist blaming others for her poor choices.  I'm sure you're all well aware of her salon antics.  Going to a hair salon -- without a mask no less -- that is under lockdown, as per government mandate, in San Francisco.  Then she has the gall to blame the salon owner for a set up.  Yellow bellied coward.  She thinks because she is speaker of the house that she is better than everyone else.  She is above her own rules.  She gets her hair washed and blown out at the salon -- against government mandate, without a mask, indoors -- then goes on TV two hours later and criticizes President Trump for "slapping science in the face".

“What further evidence does anyone need that this president doesn’t care less about the spread of this virus than to see what he did?” Pelosi said. “Bringing all those people there, no masks, no distancing, and the rest. He slapped science right in the face.”-- Nancy Pelosi, "All in with Chris Hayes", MSNBC, August 31, 2020

And what did you do, Nancy?   You went indoors without a mask to a government mandated locked down salon.  Which-- according to science -- is much worse than the outdoor affair at the White House.  Hypocrite!

As par for course for narcissists, she blames others when caught.  They are never repentant or apologetic for what they have done.  They just get angry because they were caught.  She claims the salon owner set her up.

First of all, how can it be a setup when you called the salon for an appointment?  Knowing full well that it was against government mandate.  Oh but Nancy is above the law. And you chose not to wear a mask, which you claim is so effective at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.  And what kind of Lala Land are you living in to not realize that every business has cameras in this day and age?  This particular salon has had cameras for five years.  They were not installed to set up Nancy Pelosi. Grow a backbone, Ms. Speaker of the House.  Own up to your choices and actions.  Quit blaming others for your bad behavior. You got caught being a hypocrite.  How about apologizing instead of trying to ruin the life of a small business owner trying to make a living -- one of your constituents!?

And Nancy is not the only slimy Democrat to think they are above the law.  There are stories galore about blue governors and mayors and the like not following their own lockdown mandates.  Going to salons, gyms, restaurants, etc. They are all a bunch of hypocrites.

Apparently the Nancy Pelosi story was doing too much damage to the Democrats.  So they had to try to create a diversion.  Here's what they came up with.

Today a story comes out that Donald Trump said that military heroes who died in action are losers and suckers.  Yet they have no sources to back up their claim.  It's all pure lies.  The Democrats are so desperate to bring down Donald Trump that they are willing to do anything -- there is nothing they will not stoop beneath. They are experts at secret combinations.  They will make up any lie that they think will hurt President Trump and the media will spread it as truth.  It's disgusting.  Democrats are nothing but evil, lowlife scum. Just like the Gadianton robbers.

They think they are so much smarter and above us.  Yet they can't figure out why President Trump's supporters can not be swayed.  We can see through their lies.  We see their true colors.  We know their agenda.

Democrats are a bunch of evil, power-hungry, narcissist hypocrite communists who are trying to destroy the United States of America. True American patriots see right through them and will prove it on November 3 when President Trump is reelected in a landslide!

That's my two cents.
