As bad as the virus is/might be, the political response, at every level, has been much more damaging.--Muskegon County Informed-Politics, taxes and politicians.

Muskegon County Informed-Politics, taxes and politicians.Jim Riley shared a post.
"As bad as the virus is/might be, the political response, at every level, has been much more damaging.

• As Dave Agema writes "America's enemies see what is happening...".
• This will be repeated in some form again. And again.
• Those enemies of American life are not only foreign.
• Many within our own country seek to "fundamentally change" our society.
• Media hysterics and complacent voters are the foot-soldiers of those politicians who would empower themselves at the cost of our Founder's vision.

Be forewarned!

Dave Agema

"While we are all preoccupied with the virus threat, there are other nefarious threats most are missing. There is the threat that Islamic leaders pose in asking their people infected with the disease to infect others in virus jihad- die for the cause of Islam, infect others and go straight to heaven- truly sick, no pun intended.
We also have the oil war between the Saudis and Russia where the Saudis are pumping massive amounts into the world markets lowering prices, but it’s hidden agenda is to make America‘s frackers go out of business because it cost more to frack, thereby making American more dependent on them and not energy Independant. While we are economically down, they will pound and not let up. They see an injured opponent and will attempt to finish it. The Saudis are not our friends. Their form of Islam is the most radical.
America’s enemies see what is happening with one virus threat and will certainly produce others. This will NOT be the end of biological warfare, but the beginning. It is therefore incumbent upon America and its governors and mayors to have an effective “disaster preparedness“ plan in place for future threats.
Finally, the cure presently in place may very well be worse than the disease. We are near total shut down- approaching a police state where too much power has been subjugated to politicians in leadership positions. Constitutional rights have been lost for the “greater good.” Unless guidelines in the very near future are lessened, a sustained depression will occur-exactly what the democrats have been yearning for.
A weakened America is an easy target. Too many will lose jobs. Many businesses will not recover and that is exactly what America’s enemies want. Pray for wisdom for our elected leaders. Elect politicians whose agenda is for the people they represent, not their own."

The way THEY play the "game".

Miami-Dade’s agricultural production ‘rotting on the vine’ amid coronavirus crisis

Miami-Dade’s agricultural production ‘rotting on the vine’ amid coronavirus crisis
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. –

• “I would say without any help, I don’t see how we could survive,” said De Vallois.

"...The farmers’ vegetables and fruits usually end up at restaurants, cruise ships and hotels. 
With those businesses suffering, Charles LaPradd, who has served as Miami-Dade’s agricultural manager for about 15 years, said he is seeing markets just evaporate in an unprecedented manner.
...This is the height of their growing season, he said. This is when they are picking and shipping off to the rest of the country.
“It is literally rotting on the vine,” La Pradd said.
 “This is worst than a freeze or cold snap because some of the produce is usually salvageable, but in this case, there is just nowhere for it to go.”...

Army Apache Attack Helicopters Deploy To The Navy's Giant Sea Base In The Arabian Gulf - The Drive
"The Navy's new hulking Expeditionary Sea Bases, also referred to as Afloat Forward Staging Bases, are amazingly versatile motherships that can rapidly set up shop in the most troubled of neighborhoods.
...Although their primary mission is to support lumbering MH-53E Sea Dragon mine-hunting helicopters, they also regularly play host to submarine hunting and utility helicopters, and even attack choppers.
Case in point, late last March, U.S. Army AH-64E Apache Guardians flew out to USS Lewis B. Puller (ESB-3) in the Arabian Gulf to work on clearing the waters of enemy small boat swarms with the help of other assets forward-deployed to the region..."

54 million Europeans must choose between eating and heating – EURACTIV.com
"An estimated 54 million Europeans suffer from energy poverty, according to a European Commission analysis, which blames rising prices, low income and energy inefficient homes for forcing people to choose between eating or heating.
...Fuel poverty is not about being poor, but about a combination of low-quality housing and high energy prices causing financial difficulties, and ultimately compromising health and well-being..."

Tucker Carlson: ‘China Continues To Threaten The Rest Of Us With Wet Markets’ | The Daily Caller:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted China for continuing “to threaten the rest of us” by reopening its open-air food markets.
Chinese wet markets, where all sorts of unusual animals — from bats to cats to scorpions — are sold to consumers as food, have long been considered a breeding ground for exotic viruses. Despite the fact that such markets were considered ground zero for the novel coronavirus outbreak, reports emerged over the weekend that wet markets have been reopened in major cities across China.

The enemy of the people!-----The FBI Can’t Be Trusted With the Surveillance of Americans

The FBI Can’t Be Trusted With the Surveillance of Americans:

• An inspector general report finds that the bureau has been systematically unscrupulous.

"For years, we civil libertarians were told that our concerns about the secret court that oversees the FBI’s applications to monitor U.S. citizens were overblown. 
So what if the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved more than 99% of all applications.
The bureau and Justice Department must follow an onerous process, we were assured, that protects innocent citizens from being snooped on by their government.

Those assurances, as it turns out, were not very reliable..."

Thug-management-----THAT’S A HOLLOW THREAT, GIVEN THEIR STAFFING PROBLEMS

Instapundit Blog Archive THAT’S A HOLLOW THREAT, GIVEN THEIR STAFFING PROBLEMS: 
"Hospitals Tell Doctors They’ll Be Fired If They Speak Out About Lack of Gear. 
“Ming Lin, an emergency room physician in Washington state, said he was told Friday he was out of a job because he’d given an interview to a newspaper about a Facebook post detailing what he believed to be inadequate protective equipment and testing. 
In Chicago, a nurse was fired after emailing colleagues that she wanted to wear a more protective mask while on duty. 
In New York, the NYU Langone Health system has warned employees they could be terminated if they talk to the media without authorization.”

And the claim that this is about protecting “patient privacy” is bullshit.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds"
