    After the cops beat up this woman's elderly mom with dementia, the cops fist-bumped and congratulated themselves. Oddly enough, none of those fabled "good cops" intervened to prosecute the supposedly oh-so-rare "bad apples" in the dept.

    The next battle over private property will be with corporations. They want individuals to own nothing. They want us to rent everything from them. Choose to take control of your own life. Choose to own things yourself. To own something also means to accept responsibility for it.

    Ever wonder why unprecedented, ultra-accommodative policy doesn't work? This is another example of a Fed trying to control everything losing its grip. What ever happened to market forces?

    Price hikes, fiscal stimulus, and tax increases all at the same time. It’s like driving a car with one foot slamming the brake and one flooring the accelerator-you’re going to stall. The mechanics at the Fed might not be able to fix this & other cars in the race are slowing too.

    Politicians want to stay in office. It was never about "following the science." Now that the political bud is off the rose with stay-at-home orders, they don't look quite so fun for pols anymore.

    Fauci is 80 years old and the highest paid federal employee. He hasn't had a real job in decades. So perhaps this is why he can seriously claim that the reason there are so few covid cases in Texas is because Texans love to wear masks.
