I decided to launch this in the MAIN FORUM/PAGE due to the politicization they've made this out to be.

I am old enough to remember most of the other major pandemics of the last 70 years. I did a little research into our latest and greatest pandemic and tried to find any similarities and BOY-HOWDY did that prove true.

So where do any of you think the majority or entirety came from or became know to be the breeding ground or birthplace?
Wonder how so many of the global Pandemics came for the same continent and same specific country of origin,,,you guessed it and we find it to be non-other than CHINA. China seems to want to be a very popular place to build some very sickening viruses and share them with the globe...and Biden wants to partner with them when elected? Yeah, if that's not sick enough he wants to make masks mandatory for every day for all time...yep, masks will become a permanent new accessory for our attire...so much for earrings anymore or even looking at a pretty girl and see if she is flirting...unless you have a see thru mask on they won't know if you are flirting or about to have a great gas passing episode...Now that is kinda funny so it's fine to laugh...I laugh at myself every day and my wife reminds me how funny I am...but not in any of the good funny ways.
Seems we are getting more than just cheep and cheaply made products BUT don't forget the most deadly virus's. Something Like about 10 MILLION died in the 1968 Flue/Pandemic.

YET BACK THEN WE NEVER HAD TO HUNKER-DOWN OR FACE MASK UP...so what's up with that anyway?

I ALSO put the link here for those that are impatient and just can't take the few seconds to read the body of this post. It is also pasted at the end so you don't even have to scroll back up.

I am old enough to remember some of the other major pandemics of the last 70 years. I did a little reasearch into our latest and greatest pandemic and tried to find any similarities and BOY-HOWDY did that prove true.

Seems we get more than just cheep and cheaply made products and as well the most deadly virus's.

We're in the midst of YET ANOTHER WORLD-WIDE CHINA Pandemic that has us all bound-up with regulations, restrictions and demands. We are now being told to keep our Thanksgiving Gatherings to just a few , (like fewer than 5 to 7)and the limited number is pretty low as some families have more than that in children let alone the rest of the grand kids and their children. Now TOP ALLLLL that off with some such idiotically, insane politician telling us to have Thanksgiving OUTSIDE. YEAH, that is a great idea...outisde and keep that 6feet on top of that 15micron useless mask only good to keep out anything Larger than 15microns. So you see the masks actually are useless even according to our faithful Dr FAUSI
REALLY?
I mean come-on now. I think they are lost and forget such things as the weather conditions are usually pretty cool and cold in other regions. They want to limit us to only 3 to 5 hours on top of that as well...REALLY PEOPLE? Like that is drawn out of some TWILIGHT-ZONE script and just as insanely tiranicle NAZI Style governing...Not gonna happen anywhere in this USA this year. They have had us hunkered down for WAY-TOO-LONG already and the chance for us to get with our special people like actual FAMILY they want to RAIN again on our lives without any compassion or understanding human nature of the American People.
So to those Governors trying to rain more restrictions at this Holiday is out there just one step too2Oo far this time. Go back to your fancy Cigar Room and PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, Gov.

ALSO, Thanksgiving is the most celebrated day of the year for Almost ALL families. Sure we have Christmas but not all Americans celebrate Christmas so that takes a lot of different faiths out for Christmas BUT, Thanksgiving is a not christian associated with or in any way associated with any other known faith or worship group or formal church entity holiday and that gets more families to gather on this one day. We not only NEED and even MUST gather to appreciate and celebrate our family and thankfulness of what we have.....MOSTLY LOVE for our family.

I've posted a link to an article that spells this out much more professionally than I could. It takes some reading time but does give a good grasp of what has been produced and thrust upon our world.

I wasn't expecting to find an article written that does the comparing for us. It is like a ready made cake mix...just add reading and it becomes full of information minus the rhetoric of the Leftist Media...SO it is a bit refreshing to read an old school article without the misguided, distracting and total denial commentary.

So take a few and read away THEN come back and make any comment your attitude desires.

Here is that link again so check it out and come to your own conclusion before they spread more misinformation and twist us up more and more.

I've rambled on long & far enough so this is it "THE END"...and quite possible truer than we joke about.
See YA-ALL in the Funny Papers...

JUST SAYIN'

That is beyond AWESOME. That really is SPOT-ON.

As I was reading thru I had an epiphany. (Funny I use that word, I'm 68 and think that is the only time I've used it in written form outside of a joke).

Anyway, it seems about everything in there has been propagated by the very ELITE and so-called-EDUCATED people that lived the really super good life growing up. WE ALL KNOW THEM. They had butlers and grounds keepers and had more or less ENTITLED upbringings. They never had to do anything other than ask for more money from MUMMY N DADDY. They Never had to clean the ground in dirt under their manicured fingernails out from working at anything.

They have no concept of rural living and how the whole food-chain works from seed to their stinky POOP. That is all a mystery to them and because of their families money have the VERY-BESTEST Education money can buy, including their grades. So they are educated by the others that grew up without EVER MAKING it in the real world so they can now just TEACH what they envision and they themselves read while stoned. A little long but you got my point...I know you did, unless you're one of them then to you I say...WAKE UP.

Since they have their EDUCATION they are now writing policy for the rest of us working class folk. They have NO-NONE-NADDA-ZERO experience what-so-ever yet they are writing a brand new policy on how to plow a field because they learned that from a book at (Name your IVY-LEAGUE of choice) and are now the top expert in plowing...AH, NAH. good try tho. How can it be that after hundred of years that some fresh out of school pimple, pipsquick instantly knows a better way to plow a field? Get my drift?

And there are some that are just bought-out by Gov-Funding to make a FINDING that the Gov wants to hear.

Either way they don't have a clue how anything actually works in the REAL WORLD.
Examples you ask?
OK, lets start with raw milk as I grew up on a working Ranch/Farm and part of MY daily chores each and every day was the Morning and evening MILKING...yep, they need milked twice a day or they dry up and produce no more milk. I bet that wasn't taught at their expensive IVY? (rhetorical)

We knew that REAL churned Butter was better than their fake, saturated-garbage "margarine" crap.
WE knew that whole Milk had more nutrients that their SOY MILK and was actually better for you then their 2%. You know to me that 2% only tasted like colored water and has about as much use as a mouse turd as a desert topping in a Manhattan Restaurant.

The things they try selling makes about as much sense as that mouse turd desert topping. BUT THEN that may be one of their fave's. Who knows about some of them...right?

Your point wasn't about Milk or Mouse Turds but anyway you slice it they have no real world practical experience and are so self indulgent and conceited that it will never change with them until we stop them by our VOTES.
WHAT?????
Time to vote for NEW people to go against the main Washington status quo...Time to enact TERM LIMITS, abolish their full retirement pay once out of office and they need to work for US and stop profiting on OUR DIME.

Washington, it's time you woke up and be held accountable. A good proportion of the existing politicians probably qualify for prosecution if we dug deep enough. I think they think they are above the law...NOT.

I Kinda went off the reservation a tiny bit but it felt so good and right...

Point is, I liked your pictogram responce and wish more people knew how sad but true it all really is.

Have a GREAT weekend.

See Ya-All next week after yet another shoulder surgery...this makes 3rd to repair the original bigtime botched one...yeah, I'm pissed. Who wouldn't be upset about the first surgeon that was incompetent and made it worse after he was finished with my shoulder. So yeah, I'm a wee-bit pissed about needing these THREE, so far repair surgeries just to fix a botched job by a different butcher surgeon.
After an MRI confirmed it pulled apart again...You know that 1st surgeon had the audacity to tell me that he probably did me a favor because he thought I shouldn't still be working at my age...HONESTLY SAID THAT TO ME.
So Ifin' Ya don't like my pissed-off of attitude, then you can just go chew on harness leather and leave me be...IT'S ALL IN FUNIN' FOLKS but only about the being-pissy part.

JUST SAYIN'

The last poster/image is scary spot on and most citified people just can't see any of it.
I wash I could say people are smarter than to buy into it being anything other than just being all accidental. I expect there are those that do see but not in sufficient numbers to counter.

IT is sad that the "THEY", as I call them, have such money and power. It makes me wonder when will it end and more of the HOW.

We have to still get out and VOTE more this time than about any other time in our history as a Nation.
I know God has his hand in all this and his will be done. I have to stay the course as we all do and not give in so easily as some have already done. They only want a quick and easy hand-out without any thought to the always inevitable future repercussions.

There is always a price to pay for anything THEY give for FREE. There never is or was anything for free and there is always a price that will be called in for payment and at the right, calculated time...after THEY have you hooked into the FREEBEE and you can't do without anymore. They've gotten so used to that free handout that they all forgot how to work...

If we let it then this will look insurmountable but we can't give in or give up trying to keep some kind of control for a little while longer...gotta keep on truckin'.

I see how tough it is for Trump to actually clean out the swamp. About anyone he puts in charge is somehow bought or blackmailed NOT to do any real arrest or prosecute...It is pretty bad but not hopeless quite yet.

It will be difficult to keep it clean and it and may need to get a little dirty but it won't be as dirty as what the "THEY" do everyday. I know you, Sicilianthing will get that but the real question is how many more?????

JUST SAYIN'

PS...Going under the knife again. 4th total time, at 6:15am tomorrow so prob going to signed off for a few days...gonna only be left handed for a few weeks again. Right hand dominant is the pits when it's tied next to the torso so not to budge...SUCKS!!!!!
