Crazytown
A lot of supposedly well meaning people spent a great deal of time for four years telling us it was Trump. If only we had someone competent, kind, and capable, things would be better. Biden became their answer.
Today, Afghanistan is botched, “sources say” Joe Biden is going to hold grudges, and the people who told us it was just Trump are now telling us not to believe our lying eyes — actually everything in Afghanistan went exceedingly well.
The people who assured us they were honest brokers turned out to be the partisan hacks we always suspected. Biden bungled Afghanistan and they refuse to admit it, cannot acknowledge it, and want to perform for scraps from Biden’s table.
Arne Duncan, Obama’s Secretary of Education, is comparing people who refuse vaccines to the Taliban. The Taliban is gunning people down in the street, rounding up girls, and searching houses for privately held weapons. But sure.
On the Republican side, people have decided they’d rather take a medicine produced for horses and for people with parasites than trust a vaccine that is showing real world success — better success than ivermectin. Concurrently, the left is assailing anyone who even suggests ivermectin is showing success, though it is, because they want everyone to take the vaccine. The scholars and public health officials have given up even considering existing medicines for treatment of a global pandemic and would prefer to stage hospital walkouts and insults to bully people into a vaccine they do not want. Instead of trying everything, both sides want the other to just drop dead.
The whole world has lost its mind.
At Amherst, despite a fully vaccinated student population, they are limiting mobility, access to dining facilities, and more to stop a virus no one on campus has. In Australia, they’re rounding people up and killing dogs over COVID instead of pushing the vaccine.
They all scream “follow the science” and ignore the science. The CDC, which has lost everyone’s trust, is now focused on inclusive language so girls who think they are boys don’t get their feelings hurt. The CDC also now wants to expand its studies into gun control just as the Taliban begins door-to-door searches for guns in Kabul.
Meanwhile, the American State Department is telling people no one who wanted to leave Afghanistan has been left behind while the American media is interviewing people left behind.
We are governed by Crazytown. We have handed society over to the insane to rule the roost. The worst of us control the rest of us and more and more they’re revealing they are who we always thought they were.
It is not only crazy, but it is unsustainable. Something bad is going to come soon and we will not be prepared for it. The virus should have been our wake-up call, but we kept yelling at each other. God is going to get our attention soon and it is going to force sanity or cull the insane. It is predictable, unfortunate, and avoidable. But Crazytown is gonna stay crazy as long as it can.
MSM is the new "Bread and Circuses" to keep the population distracted. Sadly, it appears to be working in a lot of segments of our society.
As for "science" and COVID, the four important words our "experts" refuse to acknowledge is, "We don't really know". Yes the vaccine was developed to address certain mechanisms of COVID within our bodies, but it refuses to stay in Fauci's box - it keeps doing what all viruses do - mutate. We also refuse to acknowledge that there will never be a "no COVID ever" day. Picking YouTube videos and MSM for information is certainly a crap-shoot, and at the end of the day, the one person that knows the answers is the One we've chosen to push out of the public square: God Himself. I'm not suggesting that if we follow II Chron. 7:13-14 as a literal promise, I am suggesting that God truly is in control, His purposes will be fulfilled, that life will go on with COVID just as it did with The Plague, Spanish Flu, the nuclear age fears, SARS, Avian Flu, yadda-yadda-yadda.
The question becomes whether we remain prisoners of fear propagated by MSM and the left or recognize that risk tolerance in our lives has a new player we need to address.
A lengthy quote below from C.S. Lewis. Change "atomic age" to "COVID-19". Much of what is said applies today regarding risk in life for [name your crisis]. To live in fear and stop living is its own problem...
“On Living in an Atomic Age” (1948)
“How are you to live in an atomic age? Why, just as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.
“In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
“This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies, but they need not dominate our minds." -- C.S. Lewis
I have wondered many times "how could 81 million people be so stupid" as to vote for Biden. I realize that a large part of it is because almost all MSM and social media platforms constantly lied to the American people about how terrible Trump is. Don't get me wrong....Trump has plenty of faults, but the MSM equates him to Satan. The MSM has blood on their hands in my opinion.
