I could spend hours detailing the depth of disgrace on exhibit by 60 minutes during the interview of President Trump. The silver lining is the interview backlash will likely push Trump over the finish line to a 2nd term. Thank you Leslie, you lazy primadonna bitch.

Fact: Clinton’s are the quintessential corrupt politicians selling access for power and millions of dollars

Fact: Biden’s have done the exact same thing, again for millions of dollars.

Fact: The US intelligence agencies conspired to remove a sitting president from power.

Fact: Nobody is being held accountable for these grotesque actions.

Fact: The media and tech giants suppress and dismiss the Left’s transgressions

American law and order is dead. There are separate justice systems for the rich and powerful than for the proletariat. Without equal justice we ARE a banana republic.

As things continue to open slowly county by county I continue to have issues with what is happening to religious celebrations. For us, this means Sunday Mass.

Currently we are doing a “hybrid” mass; consisting of online powerpoint mass and small number of participants in the church. The online mass is a change I suspect is here to stay, flu or no flu. Never has there been a more soul-less celebration of the mass – powerpoint via youtube with voice over from the presider. Not even sure why they bother to broadcast live – it won’t be long before you can only order up Sunday mass on demand just like we do on Hulu or Netflix. Hell; make it pay per view!

The in-person mass is open to a small number of masked people strategically placed at the mandated social distance. To get one of these “prized” seats you must make a “reservation”; essentially “register” to attend mass. No longer is seating open on a first come first served basis. This is wrong. Yea, I know the motives are innocent enough but that is part of the issue; people are blind to the implications of “getting permission” to come to mass! If you have to ask permission then the presumption is you can be DENIED ENTRANCE! So now the government is limiting the number of people who can attend mass.

Why don’t people see this is wrong?

The act of registration is simply a form of control. When control comes from the government it is always, ultimately, enforced at the tip of a gun. The granting of a clean registration gives you “permission” to proceed while denial of registration denies you from whatever “it” is that you are wanting to do. Can you do “it” anyway? Of course, but then you are in violation of a statute or law.

But why must we register to exercise constitutional rights? Many of them are held as “self evident truths” granted by God himself? Why do we allow government to control that which we say is “endowed by our creator”? What is the criteria by which some rights require registration while others do not, and more importantly why?

The proxy for registration is “free”. Anything free from the government is only available as long as the government says you can have it. But again, why make some things free but not others? Why isn’t food free? or housing? Certainly they are just as critical as healthcare.

Couldn’t sleep. Woke up early. Tuned in “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. I know what to expect; nothing but constant Trump bashing; they’ve literally been doing it every day for 4 years, but I think its important to be aware of what propaganda the Left is pushing. What I did not expect was multiple segments focused on detailing the stupidity of Trump supporters. In one breath they blame Trump for dividing the nation (a claim I do not support) while in the next breath they call Trump supporters idiots incapable of independent thoughts. We’ve come to expect politicians to piss on each other, but the Left’s continued attack on the people of America is revolting. Although I marvel and am confused by people who support the Left’s agenda; it has always been my own intellectual curiosity about how it is they have reached their positions — never have I simply said those supporting the Left are stupid idiots. The Left continues to show its true colors by attacking people because they are unable to debate the issues. You want to make it personal Joe? Fine, fuck you!

Excellent talk. Must watch. Extremely thought provoking.

Summary

This guidance provides an updated plan for Californians to gather outside their household and replaces the prior gatherings guidance issued on September 12, 2020 and March 16, 2020. It applies to private gatherings, and all other gatherings not covered by existing sector guidance are prohibited. Gatherings are defined as social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place.  When people from different households mix, this increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19. 

Mandatory Requirements for All Gatherings

All persons planning to host or participate in a private gathering, as defined above, must comply with the following requirements. Local health jurisdictions may be more restrictive than this guidance. Refer to your local guidance for what is allowed in your area.

1.    Attendance

• Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests.  Remember, the smaller the number of people, the safer.
• Keep the households that you interact with stable over time. By spending time with the same people, risk of transmission is reduced. Participating in multiple gatherings with different households or groups is strongly discouraged.
• The host should collect names of all attendees and contact information in case contact tracing is needed later.

2.    Gather Outdoors 

• Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized.
• Gatherings may occur in outdoor spaces that are covered by umbrellas, canopies, awnings, roofs, and other shade structures provided that at least three sides of the space (or 75%) are open to the outdoors.
• A gathering of no more than three households is permitted in a public park or other outdoor space, even if unrelated gatherings of other groups up to three households are also occurring in the same park or other outdoor space.  If multiple such gatherings are occurring, mixing between group gatherings is not allowed.  Additionally, multiple gatherings of three households cannot be jointly organized or coordinated to occur in the same public park or other outdoor space at the same time – this would constitute a gathering exceeding the permitted size.

3.    Don’t Attend Gatherings If You Feel Sick or You Are in a High-Risk Group

• Anyone with any COVID-19-like symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, night sweats, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tiredness, muscle or body aches, headaches, confusion, or loss of sense of taste/smell), must stay home and not come into contact with anyone outside their household.
• Anyone who develops COVID-19 within 48 hours after attending a gathering should notify the other attendees as soon as possible regarding the potential exposure.
• People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings.

4.    Practice Physical Distancing and Hand Hygiene at Gatherings

• For any gatherings permitted under this guidance, the space must be large enough so that everyone at a gathering can maintain at least a 6-foot physical distance from others (not including their own household) at all times. 
• Seating must provide at least 6 feet of distance (in all directions—front-to-back and side-to-side) between different households.
• Everyone at a gathering should frequently wash their hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. A place to wash hands or hand sanitizer must be available for participants to use.
• Shared items should not be used during a gathering. As much as possible, any food or beverages at outdoor gatherings must be in single-serve disposable containers. If providing single-serve containers is not possible, food and beverages must be served by a person who washes or sanitizes their hands frequently, and wears a face covering. Self-serve items from communal containers should not be used.

5.   Wear a Face Covering to Keep COVID-19 from Spreading

• When gathering, face coverings must be worn in accordance with the CDPH Guidance on the Use of Face Coverings (PDF), unless an exemption is applicable.
• People at gatherings may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity.
• Face coverings can also be removed to meet urgent medical needs (for example, to use an asthma inhaler, take medication, or if feeling light-headed).

6.   Keep it short

• Gatherings should be two hours or less.  The longer the duration, the risk of transmission increases.

7.   Rules for Singing, Chanting, and Shouting at Outdoor Gatherings

• Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged, but if they occur, the following rules and recommendations apply:
  • All people who are singing or chanting should wear a face covering at all times while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant. Because these activities pose a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission, face coverings are essential to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols;
  • People who are singing, shouting, chanting, or exercising are strongly encouraged to maintain physical distancing beyond 6 feet to further reduce risk.
  • People who are singing or chanting are strongly encouraged to do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice).
• Instrumental music is allowed as long as the musicians maintain at least 6-foot physical distancing. Musicians must be from one of the three households.  Playing of wind instruments (any instrument played by the mouth, such as a trumpet or clarinet) is strongly discouraged. 

Context

COVID-19 continues to pose a severe risk to communities and requires all people in California to follow necessary precautions and to adapt the way they live and function in light of this ongoing risk. The safest way to gather is to spend time with people in the same household or to gather virtually. 

In general, the more people from different households a person interacts with at a gathering, the closer the physical interaction is, and the longer the interaction lasts, the higher the risk that a person with a COVID-19 infection, symptomatic or asymptomatic, may spread it to others.  Public health studies have also shown that the risk of transmission is increased in indoor spaces, particularly when there isn’t appropriate ventilation.[1]  Unlike indoor spaces, wind and air in outdoor spaces can help reduce spread of the virus from one person to another. 

Planning scenarios published by the CDC estimate that, on average, a person with COVID-19 goes on to infect between 2-4 people, with a best estimate of 2.5 when there are no preventive measures.[2]  For example, if each infected person spreads the virus  to two people, who in turn spread it to two others each; those four will spread the virus to eight others; those eight will spread the virus to 16; and so on.  As a result, after 10 transmission cycles, one person could be responsible for 1,024 other people contracting the virus.[3] Additionally, there is broad agreement that people who are not experiencing symptoms can still spread COVID-19[4].  The fact that COVID-19 can be spread by people who don’t have symptoms or aren’t showing symptoms yet is one of the aspects of the COVID-19 that makes it difficult to control. 

All gatherings pose a higher risk of transmission and spread of COVID-19 when people mix from different households and communities. The likelihood of transmission and spread increases with laughing, singing, loud talking and difficulty maintaining physical distance. Limiting attendance at gatherings is a way to reduce the risk of spread as it lowers the number of different people who are interacting. Additionally, by limiting attendance there is an improved ability to perform effective contact tracing if there is a positive case discovered, which can help to slow the spread of COVID-19[5]. People who do choose to attend gatherings should discuss and agree upon the specific group rules before convening together.

Toxic Masculinity is another “thing” invented by the left out of nothingness.

It is not a real.

Once again, the left has taken a small number of behaviors exhibited by a very few and applied it to the entire population; in this case ALL men. Once created, the “syndrome” becomes a vessel into which all kinds of behaviors can be added, labeled as bad.

See how it works?

The judgement phase is next. All men are measured against an arbitrary and sweeping set of rules and then sanctioned for any deviation. But it is more than a social framework. The rules become codified in laws and regulations.

Why? Because oppression of a group (men in this case) creates fear and people living in fear are more easily controlled.

This is the template of the Left. Like so many other things, Toxic Masculinity is not a real thing. Reject it completely.
