William Pitt, the Younger On Liberty

"Necessity will always be the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."............Something to think about as the Governor of Rhode Island is having her troopers randomly pull over cars with New York license-plates and going door-to-door hunting folks down; the distinction, etc.. 

On Low-IQ Asshat, Chuck Todd, Asking Joe Biden if Mr. Trump Has "Blood On His Hands" (Relative to His Handling of the Corona-Virus) and Joe, to His Credit, Responding with, "Yeah, I Don't Know, Chuck, that Seems a Bit Harsh"

Let that sink in for a minute. The moderator of Meet the Press who's supposed to be this unbiased person says something so repugnant that even Mr. Trump's likely opponent this fall seems uncomfortable by it. THAT FAR WE HAVE FALLEN! Unreal.

On the Partisan Media Jumping All Over Trump After He Suggested that Masks Were Possibly Being Stolen (a Legitimate Concern In that the Numbers Weren't Marrying-Up) Only to Shut Up Like a Clam After Their New Golden Calf, Governor Cuomo, SUGGESTED THE SAME FUCKING THING!! - https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/03/30/reports-mask-theft-not-controversial-trump-brought-up/

How in the hell did we get here? I mean, yeah, the media has always leaned to the left but fellows like Cronkite, Brinkley, etc. would have never pulled bullshit stunts like this, trying to score partisan points over a tragedy. It's disgusting and, yeah, it really needs to cease.

On the Wuhan Virus Hitting Hollywood Especially Hard - https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-03-17/hollywood-production-has-shut-down-what-that-means-for-thousands-of-workers

So there is a God after all. Awesome.

On the Fact that the Democrats and Their Lackeys In the Corporate Press Have Essentially Boxed Mr. Trump Into a Corner with this Virus Hysteria; if He Opens Businesses Up Too Early and People Die He'll Get the Blame for it and if he Keeps Things Under Wraps too Long and We Go Into a Deep Recession He'll Get the Blame for that as Well

And why in the hell did we close down the economy to begin with? We've never done it with other infectious diseases and countries ranging from Sweden to Nicaragua haven't done so this go-round (with no cataclysmic results). I mean, I hate to be conspiratorial (a la Roswell Maddow and the Washington Post) but, yeah, I'm having a really hard time envisioning this foolishness under a President Clinton. Real hard.

On the Fact that One of the Major Reasons Why Certain States Are Currently Experiencing a Shortage of Hospital Beds and Equipment Is Because They Also Operate Under a Crony-Assed Bullshit System of Certificate of Need Laws that Stifles Competition by Limiting the Availability of this Very Equipment - https://reason.com/2020/03/13/america-doesnt-have-enough-hospital-beds-to-fight-the-coronavirus-certificate-of-need-laws-are-one-reason-why/

Hey, maybe we could get Fredo Cuomo to ask his brother about this? He does have the inside-track, no?

Thomas Sowell On Solutions

THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS, only trade-offs. Like with this Wuhan virus thing. Yes, we could probably minimize the number of deaths from this disease if we completely shut down the economy and forced citizens to stay in their homes for four, five months but being that that would throw millions of people out of a job, bankrupt the government, and ultimately lead to either hyper-inflation or a 1930s-style depression, no sane person would ever suggest that............and yet there seems to be a drumbeat from that general vicinity. Oh well, as long as it gets rid of Trump (the wet-dream of many leftists), I guess.
