The Morning Report 4/13/20

Good morning, kids. Another week begins and another grim milestone of yet another day of America held hostage. And as of this morning, the box score as of 5:30AM Eastern here in the US for Chinese Lung AIDS is:

561,103 Confirmed Cases, 22,106 Deaths, 41,730 Recovered

Considering that none other than Dr. Deborah Birx herself publicly stated “dying with” is the same thing as “dying of, the actual number solely attributable to Sino Sinus Syphilis may be significantly lower than that posted. Nevertheless, the tragedy though lies not in those afflicted or who have died, and each one is indeed a tragedy. The tragedy is those deaths being used for political expediency to turn the lives of 320 million Americans upside down and lead us down a very dark path. More on this in a moment. 

From an epidemiological standpoint, the evidence almost certainly shows that this virus first hit our shores some time in September, as media in California and elsewhere had been reporting an earlier than normal start to the flu season with what they thought was a particularly nasty strain. It turns out that those who were sick and had recovered are now reporting that the symptoms they had match that of the current Peking Pox. If that is the case, with quarantining, social distancing or travel bans from China yet to happen for another 3-4 months, it is more than reasonable to assume that the normal biological processes of herd immunity developed and protected the population. One only has to look at the statistics from other states and municipalities that did not go into lockdown to bear this out. 

Yet here we are, after almost two months going stir crazy at home as our life savings are drained and the businesses that employed us vanish, leaving us at the tender mercies of our government. What was that? Cloward-Piven? Put everyone on welfare, crash the system and then take over? Something?

This whole thing may not have been intentional but it sure as hell is convenient, and the worse devils of the Democrat-Left’s nature are moving at light speed to take advantage of it. 

…Think of…the coronavirus. And think of what Chinese communist society looks like today:

– Government invents and dictates laws on a daily basis as it pleases
– Fines and imprisonment for disobeying
– No right to assembly
– House arrests
– No freedom of worship
– Total government control of the economy
– No freedom of movement without identity papers

Does this sound familiar? Rather than follow the Swedish model of government response to the coronavirus, which was simply to recommend that the population take extra care, the United States followed the draconian communist Chinese example of Maoism – apparently based on the recommendations of Democrats Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. As a result, Maoism is becoming a reality for all Americans. Leftist politicians are drooling with glee now that their collective fantasy of being elevated to leadership in a distant far-off Utopia has become a present reality. Democrat leaders are barely able to contain themselves; their authoritarian nature is bursting out at the seams. Cloned characters (think de Blasio, Newsom, Northam, Garcetti, and Cuomo) are reveling in inventing new laws every day as they place new restrictions on movement and assembly while offering up threats and punishments against those who don’t cooperate. “Virus free” identity cards and big tech tracking schemes are being floated. And just like in communist China, there are no checks and balances, and our courts are conveniently closed…

One of the most egregious examples of naked power-grabbing has got to be Michigan’s GovernorGruppenfuhrer Gretchen Whitmer. After putting the state in lockdown, she further turned the screws by forbidding neighbors from visiting each other and then issuing diktats to big box retailers as to what they can and cannot sell based on her discretion of what she considers “essential.” Pardon my unwarranted prole arrogance but how the hell is forbidding the sale of flooring, plants and seeds going to prevent people from contracting what amounts to a nastier-than-usual viral respiratory infection?! More to the point, what gives her the right to do it? The short answer is 10,000 Michiganders armed with torches and pitchforks (among other things) not marching on Lansing to have a little heart-to-heart chat with her.

Besides destroying Trump by destroying the economy, it is now abundantly clear that the Democrat-Media Complex wants to keep the country in a state of emergency as long as possible, if not permanently, so that it can consolidate power and issue other emergency decrees under the transparently fraudulent pretext of halting the spread of Chinese Coronavirus. If anyone thinks that they are going to cheerfully and instantly give that up once this lockdown is lifted, they’re as lucid as Joe Biden on an LSD bender. No doubt the blue state hellhole states with zero opposition are going to keep the lockdowns going as long as they can get away with it and then go pedal to the metal. Even before the Chi-Com Lung AIDS, Virginia’s blackface blackguard Ralph Coonman Babykiller was ramming through gun-grabbing legislation that had the potential to cause massive civil unrest until he was forced to back down in the legislature. If he keeps Virginia in lockdown, he may do something incredibly stupid and dangerous and decree the 2-A null and void “for the duration.” Which in this case means in perpetuity.

Something’s got to give.
