I like those little gun thermometers businesses are using to check your temperature. I remember with kids having to go up the butt. This and the regular coronavirus tests are really stupid and dangerous. There are false-positives, false-negatives, and they may take a week to get the results. All of this leaves grandma vulnerable if you believe the results.

Your worldview of debt and economics is as much philosophy as science. As our national debt is moving quickly towards $30 trillion we should probably be thinking about the end game. More stimulus is coming. I taught my kids about debt using the game black jack. As they say, payback is a bitch.

It is obvious that no one wants Donald Trump and the republicans to control more of our lives. If we are to be taxed more and regulated more it should be the democrats. Politicians are great at investigations. Do you really want the democrats who led the Russian Collusion Investigation (Adam Schiff), Kavanagh hearing, or the recent William Barr hearing to be making decisions for your life, especially healthcare?

During the coronavirus pandemic the Church has decided to follow the commands of government rather than the commands of God. Those dying in hospitals and nursing homes can’t be seen by the families and then they can’t have a funeral. Isolation has brought loneliness, depression, alcoholism, suicides and more. There has never been a time to show the love of Jesus and the power of God.

The Federal Government, based on supposed coronavirus science, shut down big chunks of the economy. Business closed and individuals lost their jobs, hopefully temporarily. The answer is not business loans, unemployment insurance or stimulus checks. By the way, none of this is stimulus. It is not growing the economy it is saving it. Since the federal government is the sole reason for the shutdown it should pay back every penny of it’s costs.

When Bill Clinton was President and Al Gore was Vice-President in the 90’s they had an initiative to re-invent government. They admitted the problem about entitlements (Social Security and Medicare), balanced the budget, and cut costs and cut regulations. Joe Biden was a senator during that period. What they done needs to be done again, would he?

Every single protester believes the line heard thousands of times in every college, “there are no moral absolutes”. Yet, the removal of monuments and any reference to the evil doers of the past believing in slavery is contrary to their own philosophy. Moral relativism says that values change between cultures, periods of history, and even politics. Using the same methods of the left maybe a Barack Obama statue will be torn down in future because he supported abortion.

The Civil War was first about slavery, but also about states’ rights (10th Amendment). I don’t know that I would die for that one today. Freedom of religion and the right to defend myself are pretty big. #1 to die for would be freedom of speech. We have come a long way since the free speech movement at Berkeley in the 60’s and what is happening with social media today.

It is the 25th anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington DC. I was never a Louis Farrakhan fan, but this was an impressive event that he organized. They spoke of black unemployment, black median household income as key points where improvement was needed. Black Lives Matter is more about tearing down American institutions than improving lives. There was no violence, looting, rioting, arson, or pooping in the streets at the Million Man March.

I have found 6 different republican groups (Lincoln Project, Republican Voters Against Trump) who are calling on republicans to vote for Joe Biden. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman represents the real issue in Washington DC. The State Department bureaucrats and foreign policy wonks are the swamp. All the republican Trump haters are political consultants and Ivy League hacks that live to keep the status quo alive.
