Don't Forget to Never Forget

 

I know this may bother some people but, tough shit.

Remember back when 9-11 happened? This whole country mourned the loss of life that happened. We were one and we were pissed and sad...and Johnny Red, White and Blue every year since screams “Never Forget!”

But here we sit today, dealing with COVID. How many have died? I’ll break it down for you. Since COVID has come to the U.S. 9-11 has happened 85 times. Get it. 85 times what we should never forget has happened and much of this country doesn’t acknowledge it. Lacks empathy. Some call it a hoax. Many fight against wearing a mask. States are suing their governors for trying to keep them safe. There are some Governors who don’t care about their people and refuse to believe the science or the math. The math that shows the number of COVID deaths is equal to 9-11 happening 85 times!

I feel bad for all those who suffered tragic loss because of 9-11. But I feel worse for all those who have suffered loss because of COVID. Not be their number is 85 times greater, but because so many deny their loss is real. Because their President lied and his lies caused the loss to increase. Because so many elected officials refuse to do all that is needed to slow this down. Because so many Johnny Red, White, and Blues don’t give a fuck that 9-11 has happened 85 times in 9 months.

I’ll never forget, what a bunch of bullshit so many Americans are.

COVID 19 (blog 6)

If you are protesting anything wearing a mask, I feel you are a coward...If you are protesting stay at home orders and safety measures (like wearing a mask) that are in place to protect you and everyone else from a global pandemic, you are a chicken shit, pussy with no real conviction in your protest...You just want to play army dress up, before you clowns all go back to your militia clubhouse and suck each other off!

....

There were over 50,000 U.S. deaths in Vietnam...While the death toll was climbing Americans protested to end the war because the cost was too high....Now with the U.S. deaths from COVID19 nearly at 90,000, people are protesting and murdering for having to wear a mask, to practice social distancing and to stay at home...I touched on some of these idiots a few POSTS back....And yes, I did say murdering, as a family was charged in the murder of a store security guard because he told the wife/mother of the family that the store policy was that everyone had to wear a mask to enter the store...So she got her husband and son, and they shot and killed the poor guy...

People are protesting so they can get a haircut...100% truth there are people I know who haven’t gone to church in 30 fucking years posting memes bitching about how they’re not allowed to go to church...People are protesting social distancing and stay at home orders by waving Nazi and Confederate flags...Flags of our enemies...They don’t care that the death toll is too high and still climbing...My how priorities have changed...Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, (both of the) Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson...and so many more are rolling over in their graves....

America or at least the myth of what America was, always came together in times of crisis...Now we are divided as fuck...I put much of the blame on our idiot, criminal President...HERE'S just one example of his criminal Bullshit...There's MORE and I could give you links for days but, this isn't about that...The issue right now is how he has dealt with COVID, saying one thing that goes along with what doctors and scientists say, and then out of the other side of his mouth he contradicts that...Vocally saying that Governors need to handle how each state deals with it's cases, just to put his full throated support behind these wannabe toy soldiers...But we all know if these were black people showing up armed to the teeth, he would call them thugs and want them locked up...

And he says we are doing great testing and things are looking good...If 90,000 dead is looking good, what the fuck is bad...And about that testing...There are many different tests being used and many aren't FDA approved...And I particularly find it hilarious that the tests that have been being used at the White House, the FDA had to put out an alert because those tests were having an unacceptable amount of False Negatives...33-48% False Negatives!

This White House is one fuck up after another....

....

I'm just putting this in, because this is the "great businessman," piece of shit, lying, asshole that you Trumpers support...

....

Moving the fuck along...So all the bitch, moaning and complaining, and asshole protesting convinced many states to start opening up businesses late last week and this weekend...Yes, I get it, no one wants to see the economy tank, but I don't want to die, or see another 90,000 Americans die....So guidelines were given...People are asked to socially distance, and wear masks and be fucking smart and respectful of their fellow human beings...

Personally, I think the opening up is going to be too much, too soon as states were still seeing increases and there is yet to be a prove, clear-cut treatment for this virus...Don't believe me about numbers still rising, because I read pay attention to facts and some don't...Saturday, Texas had it's largest single day increase of COVID cases...

And my old home state of Ohio started lifting restrictions with a number of guidelines...And from the pictures I was seeing on social media, and from family back home, many bars, restaurants and their patrons were not following the social distance guidelines, as people were balls deep in each other...

You know what...I want to scream and yell at these people...But what good would it do...They clearly don't get it that 315,000 people have died worldwide...90,000 in the U.S. and these people are packing in the bars, all up in each other...Fuck it...Maybe I should be rooting for COVID...Thin the fucking idiot herd...

Me, I'll stay home and do my drinking here.

Can MLB Survive COVID

 So we are in mid-May and COVID is kicking the world in the balls and so many talking heads and politicians want everything back to normal...Refusing to accept that there isn't going to be a true normal until we have rock solid treatment or a vaccine for this monster...But science and research need time, so we have to be patient and realize normal is still miles down the road.

 But Major League Baseball pressured by politicians and greed, today said they have a plan and presented it to the Players Association and now they all have to sit down and hash it out and try to agree on things...The plan is talking about starting in early July, playing about 80 games...Interleague play will happen because the idea is to keep things as regional as possible...They are also talking about everyone using the DH...I'm totally fine with that...14 teams would make the playoffs...And now we get into the mud....The Owners, who are Billionaires are asking the players to take a pay-cut...They say paying prorated salaries will be too steep of a cost for them and they are talking about a 50/50 revenue sharing deal...

Of course agent Scott Boras has already spoken out against this and some players have spoken out against revenue sharing and that revenue sharing is how owners will implement a salary cap...This is where, in typical fashion is where MLB owners and the MLBPA shows how the out of touch they are with us regular people...Not all of them but too many of them...

Sean Doolittle has made it clear his number 1 priority is making sure it is safe for all players, team staff and facility employees before they are worrying about playing...

Safety has to be the top priority...And so far, with this plan and all the plans MLB has kicked around, they haven't answered the big question..."What if a team gets exposed?"  It takes 1 player, or trainer, staff member to catch COVID, and in a blink the whole team is infected...And the tricky bitch about this thing is people can carry it for 14 days without showing symptoms...They say they are going to be actively and aggressively testing, but we have seen most tests have not been 100% accurate...Many tests are being used that haven't even been approved by the FDA...

All the PR people are saying this will be done safely, and every state governor and says they are going to open their economies safely, but how can you do it safely if you don't have an answer for to the big what if? If you can't guarantee the players and staff and facility employees safety, maybe you shouldn't being trying to rush into this... 

Now lets talk about the Baseball aspect...If my beloved Cleveland Indians won the World Series in this horse shit, fake, half season, I'd be happy while watching, but in my heart, and my brain, it wouldn't be real...It wouldn't be legit....More than any other sport Baseball prides itself on History and Stats...Baseball also prides itself on being a marathon...So how can anyone feel a half season with a doctored postseason is legit...As someone who loves baseball and I know guys like me are getting older and are a dying breed, if Baseball is played this season I'll simply see it as an exhibition season...

Personally, I've already stated in a previous blog that the NHL and NBA should just take the L and not bothering trying to cram in an end of the season and playoffs...MLB talking about a half season, starting in July...I say scrap it...It won't be real...If it's not real, why risk health issues or injuries...

More importantly, if Baseball isn't played because owners and players are going to spend the next month bickering over money, they will lose more than just a season (or shitty half season)....They will lose a huge part of their fanbase...They will take a loss that they may not be able to recover from...

COVID 19 (blog 5)

"America, Fuck Yeah!"

Nothing gets Americans pupped up and full of pride and we can beat anything like a good ole show of military might...OK, so the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds aren't used in battle but Navy and Airforce jets flying over U.S. cities gets people charged up...

Aviator covered eyes,
Full balls, 
Can't lose!

(I'm copyrighting that shit and putting it on shirts!)

The thing is...While these flyovers may have turned up the National Pride...It also turned up the stupidity....

Nice "social distancing" assholes!

'Let's go see the jets flyover...They aren't really doing anything but flying, but lets go and crowd together with strangers and look up in the air...

Seriously, you people in New York and New Jersey, you see and hear aircraft all the time...I'm not trying to be an asshole and shit all over this act of patriotism and chest thumping...But being an asshole comes naturally....Also, these flyovers, cost $60,000 per hour...I think frontline workers would have appreciated that money being spent on equipment and testing instead chest planes flying above.

Especially when you fucking people are out there practically humping each other while looking at planes!...Way to go! Keep spreading the fucking COVID...But as long as your balls are full of patriotism so you can get your red, white and blue boner!

"America, Fuck Yeah!"
'COVID gonna kill more
Than the Vietnamese did!'


Have a day.
