Sunday Morning Musings (Part 1)

`

During the 2020 election cycle, Democratic presidential wannabe Joe Biden’s rhetoric (rightfully so) was highly critical of the unethical, under-educated, unheeding nature of his Republican adversary, one Donald J. Trump; the very Oval Office occupant, who was routinely mucking up the management of three ongoing, grave threats to humankind’s survival.

Or… more to the point… how that bungler was utterly failing to proactively and promptly preserve, protect and defend the lives of the very people he had sworn (on his Inaugural Bible) to preserve, protect and defend.

Back then, as most critical thinkers were readily pointing out, that deadly and devastating threat trifecta involved the…

• freakish weather fueled by climate change / global warming
• rampaging coronavirus / Covid-19 pandemic
• weapons of war toting sociopaths shooting up our school houses / houses of worship, etc..

Now, as all thoughtful / scrupulous people must continue to (unhesitatingly) point out, that triple threat has yet to be adequately addressed and fully resolved, and, consequently, little of this needless death and devastation will be ending anytime soon.

Moreover… unlike Biden… we, his 2020 supporters, have not forgotten one his campaign promises; namely, that if elected, he’d ensure that common sense / time honored science would always trump politics driven folly. Now (just for the sake of further emphasis), let’s toss in a few extra synonyms; such as foolishness, foolhardiness, stupidity, idiocy, lunacy, madness, rashness, recklessness, imprudence, injudiciousness, irresponsibility, thoughtlessness, indiscretion.

Back in the here and now… long exasperated sigh… Biden is running for reelection.

More to the point, he seems to be running scared; so much so that (stunningly so) (ironically so) politics IS trumping common sense and science. Hell, it’d appear that Joe is so worried about “offending” potential voters (as if climate change / Covid deniers / AR-15 freaks would ever consider voting for him?), that he has, been mollycoddling these certifiable snowflakes; even going so far as to…

Allowing these MAGA maniacs (at the risk of repeating myself) to trump common sense and science; to the point where their deadly and devastating political agenda has already bullied Biden into PREMATURELY declaring the end of the pandemic. That this frequently terminal health crisis has now, somehow, someway, magically disappeared into thin air? REALLY???

Sure as hell… that’d certainly be fake news to the still rampaging, nationwide/worldwide coronavirus, right? DAMN RIGHT!

SIDEBAR… instead of such rashness and rubbish, a more conscientious world leader would be implementing and enforcing a (color coded?) Threat Level Covid-19 Chart; e.g., issuing regularly updated, medical “weather” advisories; e.g. the proactive and prompt issuance of RED ALERTS should a particularly virulent variant be wafting about the populace (this also accompanied by mask up recommendations whenever we’re packed like sardines within public settings.

GRANTED… throughout Biden’s tenure, he has been roadblocked by legislators (MAGA magnitude Republicans and Democrats in Name Only / DINOs alike; such refuseniks willfully flipping off his repeated urgent pleas for meaningful, remedial legislation.

STILL.. that can be no excuse for waving the white flag of surrender.

ALTERNATIVELY… in the past, gentleman Joe could’ve been doing what, at present, he’s now doing in campaign mode. I mean, why hadn’t he attempted to energize and mobilize the masses to Tweet-shame his political foes into action? All he had to do to air his grievances against such (f)lawmakers is leverage highly persuasive social media tactics! He could’ve been routinely calling them out by name, both online and within a slew of nationally streamed and aired, no holds barred, media blitzes.

ALAS… long sigh… that had never happened. And that does not seem to be happening now. either; at least not in an especially efficacious manner.

`

NO… GOD FORBID… NOT IN AN ELECTION YEAR! NEVER IN AN ELECTION YEAR!

`

(btw, for those who don’t know me, well, that above remark involves sarcasm).

HENCE… (once again, at the risk of repeating myself) politics continues to trump common sense / science!

HENCE… we, the sufferers, within our beleaguered stateside community, continue to stand by helplessly; amidst the…

• ensuing freakish ferociously deadly weather
• ever-growing piling up Covid-19 cadavers
• ongoing slaughter of students, parishioners, etc.

MY GAWD… must the end of this absolutely unacceptable, sorry state.of affairs end, concurrently, with the end of humanity, itself?

Just (Half) a Face in the Crowd

`

Surviving a global pandemic can be stressful; especially where and when self-serving, opportunistic, fascistic, governmental goons, (especially of the MAGA ilk) and their colluding propaganda ministers (of the FOX, OAN, Newsmax ilk) still maintain an absolute, chilling chokehold, which muzzles the qualified medical professionals.

Under such odious conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find much reliable, comprehensive, life saving reportage.

Even President Joe Biden, ravenously hungering for a second “helping” (term), has been elevating politics over pandemic science. Yep, during a September 2022, Sunday night, “60 Minutes” interview said he…

“The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.” [read full article here]

To utter such utter nonsense, simply to (potentially) broaden his appeal to indie voters; just to mollycoddle his rabidly radical rightwing, massively critical Trumper Republican opponents was, indeed still is reckless. Hmm, perhaps (long sigh), someone should mask up and try running the prez’s sentiments past the still killer coronavirus, huh?

Granted, the president’s take charge handling of the vaccination programs has been admirable. Even so, I cannot help but believe in my head, heart and very soul, that the bulk of humankind’s interventions, so far, can be best summed up as lacking; they’ve been merely a one-one punch in search of a “two”. That “two” element being to regularly mask up in public (more about that below).

Granted, I am neither a heavily degreed virologist nor an epidemiologist nor a physician, but, when the bona fide virologists, epidemiologists and physicians do become heavily under the influence of intoxicating governmental goons, what do their credentials even mean anymore?

Look, I am not about to imply that we should ever disobey their medical advice. To better explain this? Well, let’s just say that were the CDC to tell us to wear a mask in limited indoor settings, I’d wear TWO of ’em EVERYWHERE. In other words, always take MORE precautions then they recommend.

Consequently, from this man’s humble perspective, about all that’s left is to trust my own gut. And what my gut has been telling me (to restate it, for the sake of re-emphasis)…

Always err on the side of caution.

Fleshing that all out, further, it is my belief that the Coronavirus Pandemic has been needlessly prolonged which, in turn, has continued to needlessly mutate that gawd awful, deadly virus to the point where Covid-19 will become an endless scourge on humankind; maybe thru perpetuity! Why?

Because, be we vaxxed or unvaxxed, asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic humans can still unknowingly shed and spread the coronavirus. From the Pandemic’s very onset and onward, on a global scale, honest world leaders could’ve implemented mask mandates; stressed the importance of covering BOTH our noses and mouths whenever we’re in public. Of course, need I even point out that the phrase “honest leader” is typically oxymoronic?

Granted, my opinion has rarely been, is not now, nor shall it ever be shared by enough people to make a major impact on society. And, when everyone is not on board? About all that’s left, even in this late stage of the “game”, is to attempt winning over the multiple billions of naysayers. To such scoffers, at the very least, I still recommend that they reread and try to take to heart, the paragraph just above this one.

Anyway… alas (long sigh)… with my days as a sexagenarian winding down rapidly, I have both resolved and conceded that to protect as many people as is humanly possible, including myself, about the only thing I can do to claim a modest amount of control is to never again, go out in public in an ill-mannered, unmasked manner.

Realistically, I do fully acknowledge that my valid, heartfelt sentiments will likely remain mostly unread; wind up utterly lost within this ever-tempestuous, vast virtual sea. Tho I am destined… strike that… doomed to drown in the depths of obscurity here @ my WordPress dot com site, nonetheless, it does feel good to get all of this off my chest.

Of course, that does wind up tempered with a twinge of sadness when I consider how foolhardy leaders, many of them “almighty” authoritarians, still couldn’t muster their chokehold to snuff out a mere microbial enemy.

And so, I must conclude and concede that in the, perhaps five to twenty years which I may have left as a mere mortal, I will do whatever I can to prevent the spread a dread, deadly disease. Yes, I do know what that above mentioned “two” to the one-two punch requires of me.

I will do the decent, humane thing; namely, continue to walk the face of the Earth fully masked.

Yes, I can (and will) live the rest of my life like that.

I will be able to hold my head high, even tho I’ll remain Just (Half) a Face in the Crowd.

Hey Ogres, Subsidize Yer Own Gluttony!

`

As I type and you read these very words, we’re being bowled over by runaway inflation. Worse yet, nearly every attempt to combat this debilitating, detrimental disease almost always, intentionally abuses workers barely / rarely making ends meet, as well as retirees narrowly existing on fixed incomes. Many of us, the already impoverished, are in relentless belt tightening mode; too damned many drowning in credit card debt; some even facing down hunger and homelessness.

Must the only end in sight be “The End”?

Maybe not. Were the self-proclaimed economic wizards able to, magically, dig themselves out of their prob solving rut they might be able to (sooner or later) extricate the masses from this economic, mucked up mess (please, make that sooner). But, what should they do, instead?

For starters, abandon the present-day, economic curative that seems to be far worse than the disease, itself. We are speaking of the following, tired, worn out, oppressive, heartless mindset…

“As the theory goes, if it’s more expensive to borrow money or carry a balance on a credit card, consumers will spend less. When spending declines, demand will fall and, eventually, so will the price of everyday goods.”

10 April 2023
`

Let’s further flesh out the method to that hike the interest rates madness…

Matters, almost invariably, go from bad to worse when, net effect, the consequences of folks spending less will be employers scuttling their previous plans to hire more workers; or worse yet, when the suits opt to go the workforce layoffs route. Now, factor in this “hmm moment” / reality check…

Seeing how it’s frequently CEO denizens’ unrestrained avarice that’s been driving inflation thru the roof, the far more honest, fair minded governmental response must involve reining in the very money grubbers, who are giddily, greedily, willfully, sadistically price gouging everybody to death.

Honest national leaders must hang tough; i.e., promptly inform arrogant corporate monsters that if they don’t cease and desist in habitually screwing over / victimizing the consumers / commoners, there will be formidable consequences; namely a significantly higher corporate income tax rate; a percentage hike that’d be commensurate to the severity of the price gouging incident(s).

Such amassed revenue would then be promptly, properly transferred from the Treasury Departments’ vaults to the suffering masses; e.g. in the form of monthly paychecks.

Can everyone sense the sweet taste of economic revenge? Yep, that’d be the long overdue payback, where the corporate ogres would actually wind up subsidizing their own gluttony!

Granted, the typical reaction of these snotty, snooty uppercrusters would be retaliatory; in essence, the combatants’ whiny tone going along these lines…

“Oh yeah? Don’t you dare raise my taxes! Not by even one penny! If you do, I’ll throw a hissy fit and move my massive corporation overseas. So there!”

(Visualize, too, that childish harangue’s ending “punctuation” being the sticking out of the collective corporate tongue).
`

The Generic CEO
‘

At that juncture, each resolute leader’s retort must be…

“Oh yeah? If you do ship out, overseas, there you WILL remain until Hell freezes over. Oh, btw, if you also intend to export your products, our way, you can count on our levying stiff tariffs against you AND distributing this revenue to our citizen consumers.”

The Generic Governmental Leader
`

So, there you have it, folks! Both literally and figuratively speaking, corporate, economic payback. I don’t know about you, but, the very notion of such justice (at least for a fleeting moment) has got me all smiles.

And my facial expression could easily evolve into something even more enduring; my ear to ear grin… if only…

President Joe Biden would be amenable to a similar, common sense, common folks approach to fighting corporate greed / inflation. Why, he’d not only wind up winning over genuine Americans’ heads and hearts but also (come Election Day, November 2024), the winning of his second term.

A Ball-less “Badass’s” Balloon Baloney

`

As most of us have learned, by now, throughout the time that Donald J. Trump had been (supposedly) calling all the shots from the Oval Office, China had taken the golden opportunity to further make a fool outta that patsy; i.e., had managed to freely, successfully, float (at least) three of their spy balloons thru American airspace. So, just how did the stateside, (in title only) president react?

By utterly failing to rise to the occasion.

Now, just for the sake of emphasis, let’s review.

We ARE speaking of the (self-proclaimed) ballsy Commander-In-Chief; one who had never failed to remind us that he’s a call all the shots, hardcore badass; and, more to the point, how he has never met a WMD that ever failed to (perversely) turn him on. Hell, at one point, he even wanted to nuke hurricanes.

Even so, that alleged Alpha Male could not muster the bare minimum “stones” to simply bark out his orders to the U.S. Air Force; to instruct their top gun pilots to take their best shots to blast to smithereens, those spy in the sky balloons, ASAP!

YET, during the entire, insufferable Trump régime, not even one of those blimps ever got downed; even tho this was / is, typically, a simple task; one that, mere days ago, President Joe Biden had no problem transforming into a triumphant mission accomplished.

Of course, now that the military hot shots have exposed how Trump had simply allowed Xi Jinping to have his way with him… well… let’s scrutinize just how that orange hued, yellow belly, has been attempting historical revisionism; you know, just to, perhaps, firm up his flaccid, floppy, floundering image.

In essence, we’ve witnessed has-been Trump recently standing atop his rickety Truth Social platform; for the express purpose of flat-out denying the undeniable facts; bleated he (btw, the CAPS and punctuation all all his (not mine)…

“China had too much respect for ‘TRUMP’ for this to have happened, and it NEVER DID. JUST FAKE DISINFORMATION.”

The Real Donald J. Trump
`

Truth be told, in essence, what Donny is trying to cover up is how he had EITHER been totally oblivious to the balloons’ very existence OR had tacitly approved of China’s thrice violation of American airspace / breech of national security.

IF the former is applicable… this had been a dereliction of Trump’s sworn duty to protect America.

IF it’s the latter… then this had been a definition of his lustful, sick, sucking up to autocratic leaders.

But, either way, Donald J. Trump’s dense “defense” does confirm both his ineptitude and turpitude. To further flesh that out, this also condenses down to EITHER his poor word choice OR, perhaps his Freudian slip. In my book, it’s the x-prez’s employment of the double negative, “FAKE DISINFORMATION”, which affords us all the INFORMATION we’ll ever need to read between his lines; expose / confirm his version of the truth to be the flat-out lie that it is.

Cell Block Bunkies?

`

Soooooo… we now know that President Joe Biden, just like Donald J. Trump, has been lax with keeping America’s secrets secret; both dudes allegedly guilty of squirreling away improperly secured documents; the very type both should’ve returned to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) at the completion of their past governmental duties (if not sooner).

Needless to say, Biden’s weak claim that many of these docs were stashed in his locked garage does fail to pass muster as a “Keep Out” sign. Nope, that would never spook the type of creeps renown for engaging in espionage.

Soooooo… are we supposed to assume that if foreign and domestic spies had never opted to hot-wire and repurpose Joe’s vintage Corvette (as a getaway car), that would mean what? That they were never, ever there?

Alas, Joe has now lost his “trusted adult in the room” status; i.e., will find difficult any reclamation that he’ll always act smartly when dealing with all future, sensitive intelligence.

On the plus side… unlike Trump, Biden [1] appears unmotivated by avarice and/or evil intent, [2] did opt to out himself and [3] has been fully cooperating with all NARA and Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel.

On the negative side… the blowback; namely, how, right on cue, the Stateside journalistic hacks / talking head imbeciles, who staff the insufferable, hardcore right wing noise machine (e.g. Fox “News”, One America “News”, “Newsmax”, etc.) have been working overtime; going hog wild; squealing like the fascist pigs that they are; essentially saying that IF the Feds intend to call out Trump / establish his culpability / perhaps even convict and incarcerate him, THEN Biden deserves the identical outcome.

And you know what… I’d classify such an eventuality a win-win. IF that’s the one and only way anyone will ever, finally mete out Trump’s long, Long, LONG overdue punishment, I’d say, WHY NOT?

Albeit unconventional and unintentional, the forever uncrowning of Trump could become the Biden Administration’s crowning glory!

On the plus side… once (to save on Secret Service protection cost overuns) Trump and Biden become cell block bunkies, Vice President Kamala Harris would become America’s first female president. Beyond that, such an outcome could easily past muster as the perfect “KEEP OUT” sign (posted outside the White House / Oval Office to forewarn all Trumpers / MAGA malcontents).

What would truly Make America Great Again, would be to, once and for all, officially quash the quadrennial, presidential aspirations of one Donald J. Trump; aka that existential threat to Mother Earth, Lady Liberty and Humanity!

Watchfully Waiting

PREFACE: While what follows is far from a comprehensive appraisal, I am going on the premise that even an imperfect assessment, today, is still infinitely preferable to awaiting tomorrow’s more polished work. That said, here goes…

`

In the highly unlikely possibility that one or two of you might be wondering about my recent disappearance from this platform, it’s all been with good reason.

You see, I’ve been laying low while contemplating the feasibility of my WP future. After all, the wisdom of continuing to blog from the liberal / progressive point of view is highly questionable when, ideologically speaking, the road “ahead” foreshadows an increasingly insufferable, apparently irreparable, chronically chaotic. hardcore right wing dystopia.

`

While I still harbor the belief that the vast majority of humanity is honorable, within our (allegedly) representative government nations, does majority rule even rule anymore?

`

In far too many instances, inveterate propaganda ministers have been whipping good people into exhaustion, apathy, silence and submission; into no questions asked / permitted acceptance of wretched, fetid (alleged) leadership.

And, re such stench, once folks have been conditioned into nose blindness, that makes the long overdue, desperately needed, ballot box deodorization process difficult, if not IMPOSSIBLE (especially when / where the odious powers-that-be have also resorted to suppression of fair, free elections).

How IMPOSSIBLE?

Well, with ever increasing frequency, (especially Stateside,) unscrupulous, arrogant, snot-nosed, incumbents and wannabes (whom the voters have justifiably denied the reins of power), have been throwing temper (Trumper) tantrums; so severe that they’ll make unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud and NEVER accept their undeniable ballot box defeats.

At that juncture, we can expect matters to deteriorate rapidly and rabidly. I’m sure I needn’t remind anyone of how turncoat Donald J. Trump and his private army of domestic terrorists attempted their brazen, grotesque, deadly, destructive, January 6th coup d’état at the U.S. Capitol.

Since such subversives have been left unchecked by Democrats, history is likely to repeat itself. As such, once the November 2022 ballots get tallied, any victors (who do not identify as MAGA) can expect to be wrongfully challenged and, in the end / THE END, even wind up flat-out denied their legitimately earned political power. In other words…

`

Avarice, ignorance and decadence driven MAGA minority rule will rule; where the hard work of saving our human family / our troubled world will NEVER get done.

`

While matters do appear glum, I’ll remind all American ballot casters (of good character) to keep the good thought that appearances can be deceiving. And more to the point…

`

Voter suppression can be overcome by monumental voter turnout. En masse, our cast ballots can preserve, protect and defend our Founding Fathers’ vision for us; our posterity.

`

And so, here I am; anxiously, watchfully waiting the outcome of the November 8th midterm elections; knowing fully well that we’re now confronted by this do or die moment in human history.

IF maniacal and moronic MAGA Republicans wind up taking out both the U.S. House and Senate, we might soon be waving good-bye to both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris; if not impeached and ousted next year, they’ll both become lame ducks for the next two years.

In essence (and at the risk of repeating myself)…

`

Avarice, ignorance and decadence driven MAGA minority rule will rule; where the hard work of saving our human family / our troubled world will NEVER get done.

`

Beyond that? Well, how can anyone ever expect to survive any of THAT, let alone attempt to blog about it?

Personally, I’d never want to preside, in real time, over the demise of humanity / our planet. That’d be damn near impossible with my tears both blurring my vision and streaming downward to short-circuit my device’s keyboard.

Cannabis Connoisseurs: Heads-Up!

It’s High Time To Vote!

`

Seeing how…

• President Biden has freed folks imprisoned for mere pot possession
• The Stateside 2022 midterm elections are now one mere month off…

That leaves us with these key questions:

• Will the cannabis connoisseurs’ celebratory clouds clear away in time?
• At least long enough for this clique to cast their appreciative ballots?
• More to the point, will they even remember that it’s high time to vote?

In the balance is how Planet Earth and Democracy could go up in smoke!

All wordplay aside…

Be We, the U.S. citizens, voting via either absentee ballot or in person, the deadline for submitting our completed ballots is Tuesday, November 8th. What’s crucial, here / now, is our correctly assessing each candidate’s temperament and intentions.

The Definition of Political Characters:

Lest We ever forget, the two-pronged goal of most Republican candidates (in particular, the peculiar Trumpian tools), is the amassment of untold power and accumulation of incalculable filthy lucre; none of which shall ever be used for constructive purposes; e.g. working towards the prevention… correction… working towards the mitigation of catastrophic environmental collapse. For, indeed, it’s already too late to totally prevent this from going down.

And tho 2022’s Democratic candidates, by and large, frequently fall short of what we do expect… correction… must demand of our leaders, for the time being, they’re all we’ve got left; and as such, they must emerge victorious.

Here’s why…

Post 2022’s Election Day: IF Trumper Republicans manage to TAKE OUT both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, for the next two years, bare minimum, Biden can count on his vetoing pens constantly running out of ink.

Even worse… Joe’s foes are already chomping at the bit to trump up charges against him; to hand him his political ass on a platter; to boot his butt out the White House rear door (and they’ll likely ditto this impeachment / removal process re VP Kamala Harris, too); such unnecessary, unjustifiable ousters all downward spiraling to…

Post 2024’s Election Day: The above-mentioned machinations will facilitate Donald J. Trump’s re-entrance (from stage far, Far, FAR RIGHT) into the world’s spotlight. And once he TAKES OUT the White House, again, whatever is left of America will rapidly degenerate into HIS intolerable theocratic, fascistic régime.

Post (Future) Election Days: HUH? What Election Days? Seeing how Trump had flat-out refused to accept that We the People of the United States of America had, rightfully so, handed him his sorry ass, we can assume that he’ll never, ever accept the U.S. Constitution’s two presidential terms and out stipulation.

Even worse… It’d be Trump’s own MAGA minions’ domination of the U.S. House, Senate and Supreme Court, that, in THE END. would crown him an irremovable tyrant; allow him to oppress the masses even once his throne eventually morphs into his death bed. And even then,, we could not totally escape that ass’s asphyxiating chokehold; i.e., seeing how, by then, he’d have bastardized the presidential line of succession; thereby empowering his bloodline, exclusively.

Such a sucky outcome would render the key question:

Sans a freedom-based America, how long will our global family be able to thrive, let alone survive?

The utterly unlikable answer:

Once Trump copycats, worldwide, hold up MAGA america [sic] as their paradigm EITHER their myopic politics / economics OR Climate Change catastrophes will lay waste to their homelands (whichever disaster overcomes humanity first).

Today’s message, especially to my voting Stateside compatriots…

It’d appear that (within our regrettable two party ONLY system) Democrats, flaws and all, are our only hope to resuscitate / reinvigorate Mother Earth and Lady Liberty.

Hardware v. Hard-Luck: Quick Limerick

`

As most of us rational folks, worldwide, have known (all along), Donald J. Trump opted to fabricate his BIG LIE rather than face up to the WHOLE TRUTH; namely, how he lost, BIG TIME, in the 2020 Presidential Election; due to his [1] failure to act (even remotely) presidential and (more to the point) [2] his flunking Pandemic Management 101.

FINAL VOTE TALLY

81,282,916 = Biden
74,223,369 = Trump

• A sore loser’s hard-luck story can never explain all that had spawned Trump’s loss.
• Metaphorically speaking, loose hardware fasteners had secured Biden’s victory

BTW, today’s (heavy on the hardware) limerick was inspired by the following astute observation…

“To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

Abraham Maslow
`

About all I can add, other than the poetry, forthcoming, is that people who wield such hammers will be far more inclined to hit a finger nail (YEOUCH!) than to nail down the problem at hand…

Into the West Wing, dive bombed, bolted, blew

Hammer down coffins’ nails / spikes

Covid-19: Over and Out?

On the 2020 virtual campaign trail, Joe Biden vowed (words to the effect) that, if elected as the next POTUS, he’d get the pandemic under control by allowing medical science to trump political science.

This past Sunday, during the President’s interview with 60 Minutes correspondent / anchor Scott Pelley, mid-term election year, political science overruled and forced Joe to go off script; to declare recklessly…

“The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it … but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing.”

Not so fast… say two POLITICO reporters, who debunk realistically…

“Despite Biden’s statement, Covid has continued to exact a toll in the United States and around the world. The John Hopkins [sic]* Coronavirus Resource Center lists more than 2 million Covid cases in the country in the last 28 days, with hundreds dying from the disease every day.” [Read Full Article Here]

Not so fast… say I, too. Let’s now rewind, replay and rehash the POTUS’ injudicious words and illogic; namely, “If you notice, no one’s wearing masks”, ergo, “Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape.”

Yes, Mr. Biden, unfortunately, I HAVE NOTICED, first hand, the maskless masses; and, trust me, that is hardly the accomplishment you may believe it to be. Au contraire, this is not only the epitome of alarming, human selfishness, thoughtlessness and recklessness, it’s also one of the major reasons why THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER; why the Coronavirus (fully capable of routinely, prolifically reinventing itself), may even result in vaccine resistant variants.

To say the very least… it’s that anti-mask pigheadedness that I find so baffling and maddening. My gawd, it’s merely a piece of cloth, folks! WTF is so tough about covering the ol’ honker and pie hole when we’re milling about crowded, indoor, public milieus? Why the calloused disregard for (hatred towards?) members of our human family?

To say a bit more… there may be one glimmer of reality to be found within Biden’s “good shape” quip; specifically his qualifying word, “seems”; which makes it seem as if he had attempted some in-real-time, walking back of his own words.

Let’s hope that’s a good sign that Biden is fully aware of these truths, which should be self-evident…

• In life, things are NOT ALWAYS what they seem to be
• Of all of those things, the coronavirus must top the list
• Every seemingly good leader must be mindful of all that

Politics must never trump Science… disrespect Corona-V (and its “descendants”) and Covid-19 will hang around / plague humanity until the years 2219, 2220; 2221 and 2222… if not longer.

crazy contagious coronavirus which,
in turn, spawns new variants; which,
in turn, could, eventually, render the
available vaccines worthless; which,
in turn, will drag out the pandemic’s
needless suffering, illness and death!

HENCE… this easy as pie, cover your

Stay Publicly / Properly Masked!
Stay Safe at Home!

* ADDENDUM 09/24/22 04:00:

A reread of my posted content revealed a common error (not my own); the particulars follow…

* “Though some mistakenly refer to the man or his institutions as “John” Hopkins, the “s” in his name belongs there: He was named for his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, the daughter of Richard Johns, who owned a 4,000-acre estate in Calvert County, Maryland.”

Wealth v. Health: Quick Limerick

`

Rabid capitalists; procure obscene wealth
Avid virologists; secure public health
When well-heeled asses; political
Trump unhealed masses; ill; critical
Microbes breed / mutate; in relative stealth

`

SIDEBAR: Tho the Biden Admin’s pandemic management skills readily trump the Trump Régime’s, alas, that’s traceable to the shockingly, low-set expectations bar. Joe has yet to totally “sell” the public on the fact that even vaccinated people can become carriers / super-spreaders of both Coronavirus Classic and its batcrap crazy communicable Variants.

Covid-19 will continue plaguing humanity UNTIL / UNLESS we do the bare minimum… BARE MINIMUM; namely, mask up in all indoor, public settings.

What makes Biden’s ‘tude even more astounding is how (not unlike Trump), the coronavirus infected him (in Joe’s case twice); mostly because (not unlike Trump), he goes publicly maskless.

Uh… to do WHAT?
Project a badass image???
Does anyone, actually, fall for such rubbish???

Of course, Biden is all too aware that he IS the face of the Democratic Party. Ergo, he dares not cover that face with a pandemic mask (especially in the heat of a midterm election year). To do so, would invite an endless barrage of stupid, certifiable, merciless, hardcore, right wing media taunting / bullying.

Now, at the risk of repeating myself… my regular blog coda, anyway…
