This is the worst hashtag I have ever seen

Mar 24, 2020 J. Kb 15 comments

The Left in America absolutely wants to destroy the American economy to get at Trump.

Absolutely.  Without a doubt.

They have the hashtag #NotDying4WallStreet trending.

#NotDying4WallStreet goes viral as progressives accuse Trump of putting corporate profits over public health

They are stating that ending the 15-day quasi-quarantine and getting back to work is going to kill millions of Americans and only benefit Wall Street.

As President Donald Trump and business elites suggest the U.S. public should go back to work in the midst of the worsening coronavirus pandemic, the Twitter hashtag #NotDying4WallStreet went viral late Monday as progressives made clear they are not willing to jeopardize their own or their community’s health to protect corporate profits.

“If we have to rent strike, general strike, whatever has to happen, we will not die for oligarchs’ quarterly profit margin,” tweeted progressive radio host Benjamin Dixon. “This system crashes without our participation. But they cannot force us to participate at the expense of our lives.”

That’s about enough of that.

I’ve been out of work for three-and-a-half months.  Do these people have any idea how hard it is to find a job while the economy is shut down?

I’ve burned through half my savings and am working on maxing out my credit cards.

Do you know what a single $1,200 deposit from the government will do for me after losing a near six-figure engineering job?

Fuck all is the answer.  Fuck all.  That is less than one mortgage payment.

I need a job.  I need companies to kick back on and start hiring again.

This feels like a moment for Federalism to make its way back into popularity.  Maybe New York or Seattle can keep locked down until June, but Madison County has had all of 21 Coronavirus cases.  We’re not exactly a hot spot.

As soon as this lockdown can end the better.

This isn’t a matter of sacrificing lives for Wall Street.  This is a matter of people like me who are out of work being able to go back to work and make an actual income and not just try and eek by on a $1,200 tax refund and $224 a week in unemployment benefits.

These privileged fucks can try and totally obliterate the American economy with Socialist talking points to get Trump because they won’t’ suffer because they are worth millions.

For working Americans who are not bankrolled by political think tanks and media organizations, we’re going to get absolutely screwed if we’re forced to say home until June.

What is wrong with New York?

Mar 24, 2020 J. Kb 3 comments

This is a real pamphlet put out by the New York City government about how to have safe sex during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Really.

Really.

Have sex with people close to you.

• You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex.

But it will make God angry and you go blind.  Also, definitely wash your hands after that.

• The next safest partner is someone you live with. Having close contact — including sex — with only a small circle of people helps prevent spreading COVID-19.

Sex with “a small circle of people.”  Western civilization used to value monogamy.  Now, during a time of outbreak, we have to remind people not to take in every dick they meet.

• You should avoid close contact — including sex — with anyone outside your household. If you do have sex with others, have as few partners as possible.

Sex with just one person you love and are in a relationship with?  What is this, Amishland?

• If you usually meet your sex partners online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sexting or chat rooms may be options for you.

If you make your living by having sex with strangers, call NYPD Vice and turn yourself in.

• Kissing can easily pass COVID-19. Avoid kissing anyone who is not part of your small circle of close contacts.

• Rimming (mouth on anus) might spread COVID-19. Virus in feces may enter your mouth.

What the fuck is wrong with people?  If you are letting feces enter your mouth during a sexual interlude than COVID-19 is probably the least of your concerns.  This is how you test positive for hepatitis.

Also, let’s go back one bullet point.  Do the other people you kiss know that you also lick assholes.  I’m sure that would be high up on my list of pre-date questions.   “Before we take this any further, have you ever given a rim job?”

• Washing up before and after sex is more important than ever.

And mouthwash apparently.  I’m not a medical doctor but if you are licking assholes you should probably brush your teeth with toilet bowl cleaner and gargle with bleach.

Are we sure that the Coronavirus outbreak in New York City is not a plague from God?

No wonder New Yorkers are fleeing the city for Florida or the Hamptons.  They know what is coming next.  After all this group sex and ass licking, I suspect fire and brimstone.  Maybe the residents of the Big Apple turning to salt.

If the city government has to tell the city residents not to have asshole licking group sex during an outbreak and instead try and hold themselves over by staying home and rubbing one out to a video chat sex worker, maybe that is a city not worth saving.

And the fix is in, Gun Stores are “non essential” business and are being forced to close

Mar 24, 2020 J. Kb 6 comments

From FOX 11 Los Angeles:

LA County Sheriff orders gun stores to close; adds 1,300 deputies to patrol

In a sit-down interview with FOX 11, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva declared gun stores as nonessential businesses that will be forced to close.

Sheriff Villanueva also said he’s adding 1,300 deputies to patrol, that he’s released 1,700 nonviolent inmates from county jails, and criticized how local politicians have handled the messaging behind the numerous stay-at-home orders.

That’s 1,300 deputies who can’t arrest any of those 1,700 inmates who just of a golden “get out of jail free” ticket courtesy of the ChiComs.

One clear message that Villanueva is sending, is on gun stores.

“We will be closing them, they are not an essential function,” Villanueva said. “I’m a supporter of the 2nd amendment, I’m a gun owner myself, but now you have the mixture of people that are not formerly gun owners and you have a lot more people at home and anytime you introduce a firearm in a home, from what I understand from CDC studies, it increases fourfold the chance that someone is gonna get shot.”

I’m calling bullshit on Villanueva being a supporter of the 2nd Amendment.  He is a life long Democrat, born and raised in Chicago, and elected to be the Sheriff of Los Angeles County.  He’s a gun owner because he has a badge and believes that makes him super special.

Also, the CDC study he cites is bullshit too.

San Diego County has also declared gun stores to be non-essential but has as of yet forced their closure.

From KPBS San Diego:

Gun Stores Remain Open Despite ‘Non-Essential’ Classification 

Gun stores in San Diego County are seeing record sales during the coronavirus outbreak, but county officials say the stores should not be open under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order. They say gun stores are not included in the list of “essential businesses.”

“We consulted with our county counsel. It is not our belief that gun stores are essential businesses, and they should not be open in the county of San Diego,” said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher on Sunday.

The state system to sell guns and conduct background checks is still working. But enforcing the “essential business” order is up to local jurisdictions.

“If gun shops are not in compliance we would like to know about it and have the appropriate law enforcement agency make contact,” said San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox.

Fletcher said officials are looking for the public’s help in reporting non-essential businesses that are still open.

It is my suspicion that San Diego will start to force gun stores to close now that LA forced closures, probably with pressure from the state governor’s office.

The Left is currently arguing that gun stores are not essential businesses.

Case in point, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich quoting from the Wall Street Journal.

It’s all the gun lobbies.  Not the fact that the 2nd Amendment is a Constitutionally protected right and the idea of denying people that right by shutting down stores during a crisis is Constitutionally dubious.

Remember that the NRA sued New Orleans over the fact that the city government used Hurricane Katrina to violate citizens’ 2nd and 4th Amendment rights.

The fact that Democrat cities have taken the two-prong approach of announcing that they are not arresting people for a wide range of “non-violent” crimes and are letting some criminals go has frightened citizens into buying guns shows just how essential gun store are.

That said, I think there is a lesson to be learned here for any small gun shop.

Set aside one area of shelving for bleach, medical supplies, water, paper towels and toilet paper, and a few other emergency items.  The declare yourself a convenience store since those are on the essential workforce list.

Don’t mess with the hotels in Florida.

Mar 24, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment

Via Wirecutter.

According to investigators, a guard at a Marriott hotel in Orlando was patrolling around 1:30 AM Thursday when he spotted a man “pushing  a trash can toward his Honda van.” When the suspect reached the vehicle, he removed a bag from the can and placed it inside his auto.

Finding the man’s actions suspicious, the guard peaked through the van’s window and “noticed the bag was full of unused toilet paper rolls that belonged to the hotel.”
…
The bag, cops say, contained 66 rolls of toilet paper valued at 99 cents apiece.
…
Hernandezcinto, who initially provided cops with a fake name, was arrested for theft from a public lodging establishment, a felony. The Orlando resident was booked into the Orange County jail, from which he was released yesterday on $2500 bond.

Toilet Paper Bandit Caught In Act, Arrested On Felony Theft Charge, Cops Report

A lot of people do not understand how stern are  the laws for the protection of lodging and hospitality in the State of Florida. Tourism is our oil, our main product an the industry takes no crap when it comes to its own defense.  That guy steals the same amount of rolls from a Costco and he would probably have gone home with an appearance ticket. This idiot caught a felony charge for $66  which, if he is illegal, he can be expelled. And if he is a Resident, he could lose his visa.

Florida Hotels: Just don’t f*** with them.

American media and medical professions with TDS are screaming bullsh*t to hurt Trump

Mar 24, 2020 J. Kb 10 comments

President Trump announced during a press conference that the combination of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and antibiotic Azithromycin is a potential treatment for COVID-19.  This is based on both anecdotal evidence of treatment and research from 2005 that showed hydroxychloroquine had an effect on SARS which is also in the family of coronaviruses.

Trump’s specific words were that this combination is a “game-changer.”

With Trump advocating for a hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin cocktail, it will broaden the latitude doctors have with off-label prescription which generates more data.

Personally, I’ve always supported a “right to try.”  A patient who is dying should have the right to voluntarily take unapproved or off-label drugs if there is a chance that they will work, even if they come with substantial risk, because if that patient is already dying, what else do they have to lose?  I support Trump’s liberal “right to try” approach, especially in the midst of this crisis.

The media and others with TDS immediately sought to destroy both Trump and his supposedly touted cure.

Yesterday a husband and wife in Arizona became a godsend to the media and medical community afflicted with TDS.

From CNN:

From NPR:

From Slate:

Arizona Man Dies From Chloroquine Overdose After Listening to Trump Coronavirus Press Conference

From The Hill:

Man dies after taking chloroquine phosphate in effort to prevent coronavirus

Man Dead From Taking Chloroquine Product After Trump Touts Drug For Coronavirus

From Business Insider:

‘Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure’: Woman whose husband died after ingesting chloroquine warns the public not to ‘believe anything that the president says’

From a medical doctor and TV personality who describes herself as: “MD, PhD. Expert on #Ebola, #coronavirus, pandemics.”

To listen to the media and this supposed expert, Trump poisoned this couple with a prescription drug because he’s an idiot.

Amazingly, the best coverage in the United States came from the New York Times.

This is almost the truth.

If you really want an accurate headline, you have to turn to the British press.

From the Daily Mail:

Man who tried to treat himself with hydroxychloroquine DIES: Couple ate fish tank cleaner thinking it was the malaria drug that Trump is touting as a miracle coronavirus remedy

Holy shit, that is a very different story.

Banner Health, a non-profit hospital system based in Arizona, issued a statement urging the public against the use of inappropriate medications and household products to prevent or treat COVID-19 on Monday.

To emphasize the importance of the warning, officials disclosed a few details of what happened with an unnamed couple that ignored the advice and took their medical care into their own hands.

Note the important part in bold.

It’s believed that they confused the chemical – an additive often used at aquariums to clean fish tanks – with hydroxychloroquine, an antimalaria drug that’s shown promising results in treating COVID-19 patients.

So it’s not even the same ingredient.

The anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine is Hydroxychloroquine sulfate, CAS number 118-42-3.

The chemical they ingested is Chloroquine phosphate, CAS number 50-63-5.

This is how bad TDS is.  It makes an MD PhD to touts herself as a medical expert for the media make stupid chemistry mistakes.

No, it’s not.

NBC, despite its headline Man dies after ingesting chloroquine in an attempt to prevent coronavirus provided more details down in the article.

The name “chloroquine” resonated with the man’s wife, who asked that her name not be used to protect the family’s privacy. She’d used it previously to treat her koi fish.

“I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, ‘Hey, isn’t that the stuff they’re talking about on TV?'”

The couple — both in their 60s and potentially at higher risk for complications of the virus — decided to mix a small amount of the substance with a liquid and drink it as a way to prevent the coronavirus.

This woman finds an old bottle of stuff used to kill parasites in fish tanks, had a vague idea that it sounded like what Trump said on TV, and mixed an uncontrolled quantity in a glass, and she and her husband drank it with disastrous results.

That’s not Trump’s fault.

These people are fucking morons.

This is literally no different than hearing that hand sanitizer needs to be at least 60% alcohol to kill a virus then chugging Bacardi 151 to cure a sore throat.

But telling the truth is not important when you have a Bad Orange Man to take down.

We need good reporting and all we get is garbage.

Venezuela’s President touts a homemade natural cure for the Wuhan Virus. Twitter blocks it.

Mar 24, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment

He is not happy about this Gringo Company block a life-saving all organic medicine that could save millions… in his imagination:

This Doctor Sirio Quintero is allegedly the “Inventor of the quantum bioelectromedicine protocol with nanotechnology and human reconstitutive undulating genetics in Venezuela and the American continent”, he concludes in his biography. After his studies, Quintero returned to Boconó in the Trujillo state, where he has allegedly solved more than 6,700 cases of diseases and cancers.”

So what is the formula that will save the world?

 

100 grams of citronella
100 grams of elderberry
5 grams of ginger
5 grams of black pepper
The peels of 2 lemons
Boil in a liter of water then add:
100 ml of honey
The juice of 2 lemons.

Maduro tanted against twitter in one of his televised interventions:

“It’s a crazy thing; I would like to know who is the imbecile, the stupid person who makes the decision on Twitter to block a Venezuelan naturist recipe

And I am done. Nothing I say could explain the level, of stupid and irresponsible that this Bernie Bro is trying to pull. You are better off coming to your own conclusions.

Wuhan Virus: “We are two weeks away from (Country name goes here)!”

Mar 24, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment

Nobody, OK? I got sick of hearing that little phrase over and over from doomsday pundits.

Guess what? We have numbers now.  I went to the WHO page “Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) situation reports” and pulled the one for March 10, 2020. 

Italy:  Confirmed cases, 9172. Deaths, 463.  (5.04%)
Spain: Confirmed cases, 1024, Deaths, 28.  (2.73 %)

I then got the report for yesterday and look the US numbers March 23, 2020.

USA: Confirmed cases, 31573 1. Deaths, 402. (1.2%)

We have different health Care systems, different environmental and social components, different lifestyles and cultures, and yet some people are  trying to do the dumb thing and say the factors not included in the equation do not matter, only their wild ass guess do.

I hope we do much better. I realize this thing can go south at any time, but I want to know the real reasons and not just a scaremongering time frame without any scientific base.
