If it saves one life banning bacon will be worth it - right?

The, “If it saves even one life, it’ll be worth it” idiocy is the meme lefty libs are using to fly drones to spy on Americans and keep the country shut down till the end of time. It is a huge BS canard. 

If true, we should build the wall, because if it saves one life by stopping one shipment of fentanyl it will be worth it.  If true, we should have a national speed limit on the highways of 15MPH, because if it saves one life by stopping one high speed accidents it will be worth it.

It’s all BS.  The left is mocking GA Governor Brian Kemp for “opening GA.”  The key question no one ever asks these 50 wannabe dictators is, “By whose authority was the state shut down?”  As far as I know, governors in America do not become super legislators writing laws and proscribing sanctions if violated in the face of an epidemic.

Can a governor order a restaurant closed so his shifty brother-in-law’s slop shack across the street can flourish?  If not, how can he order every business in the state to close?  And based on what?  The all-important “data” the feds and state governments are using to kill American business has been wildly inaccurate from the start.  Yet, we continue to rely on it 38 days into a nation-wide shut down.

The morbidity rate is pure BS.  The govs are throwing every death possible into the Wuhan Virus pool.  But an inaccurate Chinese Virus death toll doesn’t begin to uncover the biggest problem with the morbidity rate.  The “data” on the total number of Wuhan cases – the denominator if you will - could be off by as much as 5-10 times.  If true, the morbidity rate would fall through the floor.  

Of course “the experts” claim they won’t know the denominator until long after the crisis passes. How convenient.  One thing is absolutely certain, the denominator is going to go up and the morbidity rate is going to drop.  

What is a bit difficult for my small mind to understand is that, while he unlawfully ordered a state-wide shut down, Kemp is not ordering anyone to open or anyone to patronize the open business.  He’s simply lifting his unlawful order.  Yet, everyone is coming down on him as if he’s ordering the spread of the virus.

Further, it seems to me, if we can figure out how to shop safely at the Kroger - an approved activity - we can also figure out a safe way to dine out and get our hair cut.

With regard to tattoos, that industry is probably more suited to open than most.  It was affected by the HIV scare and established safe operating procedures that remain in place today to deal with that virus.  It was probably safe to get a tattoo from the start.  

Bankruptcy is also above of Gov Murphy’s paygrade
NJ Governor Phil Murphy, a man who admits that the constitution is “above” his paygrade as he orders cops to violate citizens’ civil rights, has his shorts in a wad over Mitch McConnell thinking states ought to be forced into bankruptcy rather than relying on the nation to bail out poorly run lefty lib states.  My opinion is F__K ‘em.  And if the federal government does offer assistance, that money should come with a list of restrictions a mile long for most, two miles long for sh*tholes like NJ, NY, MI, CA etc.       

Today’s JG rant: one of these things is not like the others
In his lame attempt at humor “Bank’s brainstorm could clear national debt” of April 21, 2020, Clyde Markley demonstrates what happens when people insulate themselves with the like-minded and live in a logic free zone for decades.

Living such a sheltered existence, I suppose it was outside Markley’s abilities to discern the difference between the Wuhan Virus and the other viruses and ailments he lists in a misguided letter that only the JG’s like-minded editors would think worthy of print.  Maybe the Sesame Street clue will help Markley:  One of these things is not like the others.

Unlike the other sicknesses Markley lists, the Chinese Virus was purposefully loosed on the world by the Communist Chinese Party.  The Chinese knowingly misled the world on the contagious nature of the Wuhan Virus.  While the Communist Chinese bastards closed Wuhan to the rest of China, they continued to allow flights from Wuhan to the rest of the world thereby willingly and knowingly spread infection. They have destroyed documentation of the nature of the disease and Chinese doctors who dared tell the truth about the disease have disappeared.

For people not cloistered in Markley’s logic free zone, these facts indicate, at best, negligence, or at worst, malicious intent on the part of the Communist Chinese government.  In either case it shouldn’t be thought unreasonable for the Chinese to be held to account.  The Communist Chinese should either make financial amends to the world or be shunned and isolated until they do.

Banks' brainstorm could clear national debt

It has been well documented that Rep. Jim Banks is suggesting (shall we say, demanding) that China pay for the damage coronavirus has caused our nation. While many people say this notion is preposterous, I believe we should examine this in greater detail. It could be that the honorable Mr. Banks is really on to something here.

And perhaps we should carry this brainstorm a step further.

After an exhaustive 93-minute study, I have discovered other diseases and places of origin we could sue the socks off as well. I suggest the following list could provide enough money to pay off the national debt. God knows we have enough attorneys to tackle the list. After all, since the quarantine, ambulance chasers have nothing to chase.

Although this is not a complete list, it is a great place to start: Malaria originated in Africa. Diphtheria was discovered in France. Gout? Paris and London are both to blame. Smallpox was first found in Egypt. Hoof and mouth disease: Rush Limbaugh?

Go get 'em, litigators!
