Talk radio great Jamie Allman filed a Sunshine law request for the actual emails of St. Louis County residents who’ve snitched on local entrepreneurs trying to make a living. Most of the complaints were unfounded, involving people “turning in” companies that were deemed essential by the county.

But reading the actual complaints reveals just how terrified the media and corrupt academics have made good people. The complainants are truly scared. They believe that Coronavirus kills almost everyone who gets infected. They believe that washing your car, hitting golf balls at a range, or playing singles tennis can spread the disease to many people.

The 900-page file of complaints is, ultimately, sad. What could be more depressing than a mother begging government officials to put her daughter out of work? Or women asking the county to shut down their fiancé’s company?

St. Louis County Releases ‘Snitch Files” – Local Citizens Who Called County Government to Snitch on Business Owners

I am laughing hard just thinking at the many individuals that will be applying for unemployment in the next days for being stupid and petty.

MIND. YOUR. OWN. BUSINESS.

And instruction so simple, even a caveman can do it.

In case you missed it, there was a mass shooting yesterday in Canada.

I know, that sounds impossible since the media has made it clear that Canada is better than the USA with universal health care and strict gun laws.  Canadians are supposed to occupy a higher plane of existence as completely Woke and having elected the world’s Woke Bae as prime minister and Lefty heart-throb.

But the BBC reported on the shooting.

Canada shooting: Gunman kills at least 18 in Nova Scotia

Police said the suspect shot people at different locations in Nova Scotia, many of them randomly. He was killed in a confrontation with police.

He was reported to have been driving what looked like a police car.

The RCMP says that there may have been an initial motivation for the shooting but it turned into random violence.

The details are pretty horrific.

The shooter assembled a facsimile of an RCMP uniform and police car and started executing civilians.  He eventually killed 18 people, including one RCMP officer, before bring killed himself.

The gunman was wearing either an RCMP uniform or a convincing replica, while driving a car that appeared to be a police vehicle, Leather said. Wortman was not employed by the RCMP, authorities said.

Authorities believe he then began pulling over random motorists and executing them, the law enforcement source said. He was involved in a traffic accident and ditched his fake police crusader for a vehicle stolen from a motorist, the source said.

“His ability to move around the province undetected was surely greatly benefited by the fact that he had a vehicle that looked identical in every way to a marked police car,” Leather said.

The RCMP have not publicly identified the type of firearm used, however given the details I’d assume some sort of pistol that appeared to be consistent with a police uniform.

Still, any excuse for gun control…

“In regards to gun control, we took very serious commitments in the election campaign and have moved forward — and are moving forward on them — to ensure that we’re strengthening gun control in this country,” Trudeau told reporters Monday, according to CNN media partner CTV News.

He wants to ban assault weapons and issue a mandatory buyback, New Zealand style.

Not that assault weapons has anything to do with this, but he’s got the ban hammer and everything looks like a nail.

Sorry to my Canadian friends, I guess your guns will be going away soon.

Stop using the term Fake Pandemic.  You are implying that everything is false.

Was the Pandemic overblown? Mishandled? Misclassified? Abused by politicians for power acquisition? Yes, No, Whatever: all this will be discussed eventually and we may or may not agree with the results.

But if you have bodies piling up, you have to be some seriously idiotic air breather to be waving that flag. Unless you are also trying to push the idea that the CIA and the NSA are killing people all over the world to make it look real.

And I expect something like this is already in some Conspiracy Sites and Social Media groups.

PS: Comments closed since I know I was gonna get the “But they are classifying people that died from other things as COVID just because they were infected!” avalanche.

From the Washington Post:

‘We’re beyond angered’: Fed up nurses file lawsuits, plan protest at White House over lack of coronavirus protections

Brown-Richardson is one of more than a dozen nurses in New York, the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, who detailed their experiences on the front lines in affidavits corroborating three lawsuits filed Monday against the state health department and two area hospitals. The complaints, which were lodged by New York’s largest nurses union, allege that inadequate protective equipment, among other failures, contributed to “compromising the health and safety of the nurses,” according to a news release from the union.

Several nurses alleged that they were told to use one N95 mask per week, and were given paper bags in which to store their masks and no sanitation instructions, according to court documents. Others, like Brown-Richardson, say they were not provided with certain protective equipment despite numerous requests.

“We were instructed that we could only wear a surgical mask, which is not adequate protection against COVID-19, if the patient presented with a cough,” Brown-Richardson wrote in her affidavit. “Otherwise we were prohibited from wearing a surgical mask because management believed that doing so could alarm patients.”

Meanwhile, [union president] Burger said the ability to bring change lies in the hands of the Trump administration and Congress. In addition to seeking federal funding, National Nurses United is calling on President Trump to use the Defense Production Act to produce supplies such as protective gear and testing kits, according to the news release. In recent weeks, Trump has used the act to increase the production of ventilators and other medical equipment, The Post reported.

“Every time I talk to nurses it’s like they have never felt so disrespected and ignored,” she said. “They give firemen what they need to go into a burning building. They give policemen bulletproof vests and guns and tasers and tear gas. What do we get? A bandanna or a scarf.”

I get the narrative that this is  Trump’s fault, but that’s not how it works in court.

There is going to be a discovery phase and a court will have to address things like Obama’s mask drawdown during H1N1, the lack of preparation by governors, and how manufacturing works.  Trump did invoke the DPA but that doesn’t make masks available tomorrow. Production ramp-ups and distribution takes times.

We are going to learn a lot and I have a feeling most fingers will point to state and local officials, most of whom are Democrats.

I don’t  think this lawsuit will come to the conclusion these nurses had when they filed it.

Discovery will be fun.

From Page Six:

Chris Cuomo described as a ‘cry baby’ and an ‘a–hole’ on the basketball court

Chris Cuomo — who had a verbal altercation with what he described as a “jackass, loser, fat-tire biker” last week — brought his famous temper to the basketball courts at New York’s most high-end gym years ago.

A source, who used to play hoops with the CNN anchor at the Reebok Club (now Equinox) at 67th Street and Columbus, tells Page Six Cuomo was known by fellow players to be a “tool,” “jerk,” “cry baby” and an “a - - hole.”

Then there us this:

Brian Stelter said in his newsletter that Cuomo’s wife contracted COVID-19. Cuomo in his Jesus video says she doesn’t have it. Cuomo was also witnessed on record at another property 60 miles from his basement.

How is this not a colossal Milli Vanilli like scandal for CNN? https://t.co/8kF725WLEK

So Chris Cuomo violated both quarantine being sick and the NYC non-essential travel ban.  The one that the rest of us are called murderers for when we decide to go buy lawn care supplies.

Lastly there us this from The New York Times:

Chris has also been an adviser to his brother, people who have worked for Andrew told me, sometimes extending his advice to the governor’s staff. He’s encouraged his brother’s boldness; he has also encouraged the governor’s prickliness about media coverage, a shared “Cuomo gene,” one friend said.

So Chris Cuomo is a bully and a crybaby, who violates ever canon of professional ethics by being a reporter and political advisor, and believes the rules of the city and state of New York don’t apply to him because he’s a celebrity and the son and brother to two New York governors.

We already knew this, but to see it laid bare like this is new.

These celebrity/political dynasties are just awful.

Sometomes I really understand why the French did what they did in 1793.

If you think today’s pandemic bolsters the case for socialized medicine, then ask yourself a simple question: If you came down with a serious case of covid-19, would you rather be in an Italian hospital or an American one? Even presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden knows the answer. “With all due respect to Medicare-for-all,” Biden said during the last Democratic candidates’ debate, “you have a single-payer system in Italy. It doesn’t work there.”
While the federal government’s pandemic preparedness was sorely lacking, the fact is America’s system of private medicine has left us far better positioned for today’s crisis than other nations. As Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, explained in an interview, here in the United States, “we’re going to have a better experience [with this pandemic] than a lot of other countries because of how good our system is at delivering critical care

Why this pandemic is an indictment of socialized medicine

We go back to a basic principle: Governments do not create, make, manufacture with any degree of efficiency. while Private individuals and companies do. Government should be populated with people who are smart enough to balance the wellness and safety of the citizens with the fiduciary responsibility of their taxes. Government is almost inflexible  while Capitalism will adapt and provide what people demand may it be mood rings or five minute testing machines  for virus detection.

I have no doubt that the Government would have screwed up Pet Rocks.

Here is a wonderful example:
