    Trump and DeVos want schools ‘fully’ open, but not many are listening

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/tr...?ocid=msedgdhp

    President Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos spent much of this week pressuring and cajoling schools to reopen. DeVos, in particular, made clear she means five days a week. But school systems across the country have already decided on models where students learn from home part of the time.

    Some districts are considering full-time, in-person school for children who need special attention, he said, but none are planning it for everyone.

    Many rural districts, though, are planning to have kids in school full-time, she said.

    The administration has been backed up by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which recommends that all schools try to open fully, citing the academic and social-emotional damage done when children miss school. But on Friday, the AAP, in a joint statement with teachers unions and superintendents, said that schools in areas with high levels of covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, should not be compelled to reopen against the advice of local experts. “A one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate for return to school decisions,” they said.


    One size doesn’t fit all. It has been reported that 75% of parents want their children back in school. It has not been reported what percentage of families need their children back in school to allow them to return to work; to find / afford day care centers or family to attend to the children when they do; how many children would be deprived of devices or Internet availability to home school?

    Schools must open at some time – and soon. How to do so safely is a monumental task. I am so appreciative to not have school age children at home - or grandchildren attending school.

    While the mantra has always been, “It’s for the kids,” parents are being conflicted by the politics played by the Democrats and Republicans. Scary stuff.

    Stupid is as stupid does

    New York City Mayor de Blasio well fits that rebuke for:

    • For commissioning artists to paint "Black Lives Matter" on Fifth Avenue outside Trump Tower. How infantile!

    • We have to wear masks, practice social distancing, and not gather in groups over 10, but if you are protesting you can stand together, you can hug and squeeze unmasked and you're not going to get COVID-19 according to de Blasio. De Blasio has banned mass gatherings by denying permits, but the protests can go on.

    • For supporting and indulging the "Black Lives Matter" organization. Former Mayor Giuliani claims it is not a benign organization, but a violent organization run by three Marxists and financed by a convicted terrorist -- who I happened to have convicted, who got 58 years in jail and got a corrupt pardon from Bill Clinton," he said.

    • De Blasio has denigrated the police and shifted $1 billion from the NYPD budget to programs that assist in youth and community development while a bloody Fourth of July weekend saw 64 New Yorkers shot, 11 fatally. In all, the city recorded 205 shootings in the month of June, a 130 percent increase over the 89 shootings that took place in the same month last year.

    All of the lock-downs, social distancing, and restricts are for our own good, or so we have been, and continue to be, told.

    The "Fifteen Days To Stop The Spread" has now turned into "Four Months Of Spread The Stop;" fifteen weeks of government-controlled uncertainty, fortified with omnipresent whispers of a "Second Wave" which serves to reduce hope and increase anxiety.

    In fact, Pope Fauci, said this week that the recent spike in cases in some states was not reflective of a "Second Wave," but a sure sign that America is still "Knee-Deep" into its "First Wave."

    Reference: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-130000-deaths

    Moreover, ever the optimist, our little dictator has faithfully painted dark prospects for America's prognosis. From The USA TODAY:

    Anthony Fauci warns US is 'knee-deep' in first wave of coronavirus cases and prognosis is 'really not good"



    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/06/anthony-fauci-us-coronavirus-surge-really-not-good/5388472002/


    However, is it not fair to question Dr. Fauci's expert credibility, if not his truthfulness, in light of his reversed position regarding the effectiveness of masks?

    From Business Insider:

    Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn't get enough


    Reference: https://www.businessinsider.com/fauc...e-start-2020-6

    Is it not time to wonder if all of the restrictions of the Covid crisis are truly to safeguard public health, or is the "New Normal" just code for a heavy-handed future?

    The linked video does not answer that question, but does suggest some curious thoughts about the effects of some of the restriction and lock-downs, and what such effects may actually constitute:

    De Blasio is hard for any American to swallow: A unique bitter blend of Abraham Beame and David Dinkins, violently mixed in a Saul Alinsky shaker, which yields a tall glass of Marxist hemlock.

    It is well worth listening to and should make one pause to introspect to better determine what to believe in what is being fed to us by ‘medical experts’, the left and media - whether such information is indeed based on obtaining control and advancing a ‘new norm’ or World Order establishment.

    Fear / anxiety / panic abound. Elements used to gain control. Big Brother is here!

    Two police officers in McAllen, Texas, were killed while answering a domestic disturbance call Saturday afternoon, according to the police chief.

    Just Musing...

    I am struck by the similarities between the 1920 Presidential election and its 2020 centennial successor.

    As in 1920, 2020 is not a strict choice between personalities or political parties. Rather, as in 1920, this election suggests a pending decision regarding fundamental directional change: A choice between an autonomous, strong, and vibrant America, and an unexceptional land, whose treasure and blood would stand subject to the whims of a global elite, and whose original chartered purpose, already under radical Leftist challenge, would be rendered anemic by the constant demands of a global community.

    Consider the words of Republican Nominee-To-Be Warren Harding, January 20, 1920:

    It is time to idealize, but it's very practical to make sure our own house is in perfect order before we attempt the miracle of Old World stabilization. Call it selfishness of nationality if you will, I think it an inspiration to patriotic devotion-- to safeguard America first, to stabilize America first, to prosper America first, to think of America first, to exalt America first, to live for and revere America first.
    Reference: https://millercenter.org/the-preside...20-americanism

    Now, consider President Trump's 2017 keynote Inaugural words:

    We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

    From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

    From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.
    Reference: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings...gural-address/

    For four years, the will of the 2016 Trump voters has been frustrated, if not fully denied. The duly elected Trump's programs have been harassed, sabotaged, and maligned by a bi-partisan group of insurrectionist "Swamp" dwellers, Deep Staters, Socialists and Communists.

    Ergo, as Trump stands for re-election, America, as in 1920, stands once again at the metaphorical crossroads of directional choice.


    With that said, on its website, Oklahoma Wesleyan University makes this declaration: "Words Mean Something;" words such as "Return to Normalcy" and "The New Normal."

    Consider "Return To Normalcy" and "The New Normal" as competing bromides.

    On May 14, 1920, soon-to-be President-elect Harding spoke these words:

    "America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration...not surgery but serenity."

    Reference: https://millercenter.org/the-preside...0-readjustment

    The post-pandemic election of 1920 was, IMHO, a referendum on the "Progressive" and what is now termed the "Globalist" politics of Woodrow Wilson, and Harding won the Presidency on a platform opposing those Wilsonian "Progressive" and Globalist policies, and did so with a pledge for a national "Return To Normalcy."

    The pandemic-plagued year of 2020 seemingly poses the exact same key issue as did the election of 1920. The votes on November 2, 1920 resulted in a crushing "Progressive"/Globalist defeat.

    Bearing in mind the comment "Words Mean Something," the repetitiously touted term "The New Normal" is very intriguing, if not unsettling to me.

    Therefore, I ask, is the term "The New Normal" a deliberately crafted "Finger In The Eye" expression applied by the present day revolutionaries, intended to celebrate their strong resurgence, and to humiliate all Americans who stand in opposition to those kindred agendas?


    Just musing.

    President Trump has "distanced" himself from comments critical of Pope Fauci. The critical comments from his assistant Peter Navarro.

    Reference: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/peter-n...e-house-op-ed/

    I hope that the President's comments seeming critical of Navarro are a component to a planned exercise in "Good Cop, Bad Cop."

    The Navrro Op Ed appearing in the USA Today:

    Anthony Fauci has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on: Peter Navarro

    When you ask me whether I listen to his advice, my answer is only with skepticism and caution: Opposing view

    Peter Navarro
    Opinion contributor

    Dr. Anthony Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on.

    In late January, when I was making the case on behalf of the president to take down the flights from China, Fauci fought against the president’s courageous decision — which might well have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.

    When I warned in late January in a memo of a possibly deadly pandemic, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was telling the news media not to worry.

    When I was working feverishly on behalf of the president in February to help engineer the fastest industrial mobilization of the health care sector in our history, Fauci was still telling the public the China virus was low risk.

    When we were building new mask capacity in record time, Fauci was flip-flopping on the use of masks.

    And when Fauci was telling the White House Coronavirus Task Force that there was only anecdotal evidence in support of hydroxychloroquine to fight the virus, I confronted him with scientific studies providing evidence of safety and efficacy. A recent Detroit hospital study showed a 50% reduction in the mortality rate when the medicine is used in early treatment.

    Now Fauci says a falling mortality rate doesn’t matter when it is the single most important statistic to help guide the pace of our economic reopening. The lower the mortality rate, the faster and more we can open.


    So when you ask me whether I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is: only with skepticism and caution.

    Peter Navarro, an assistant to the president, is the director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. (Parts of this statement were shared with other news organizations. The Food and Drug Administration has revoked its approval for treating COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine.)

    Is there a silent majority?

    We hear about the Deep State all the time, from the bias media and pundits predicting a Trump double-digit defeat, but is there be a ‘silent majority’ and will blowback be likely as Biden continues to veer ever more to the left.

    Enough with talk, America, it's time to fight

    Yes, that majority still exists, but it is different from the "Silent Majority" that existed in 1968.

    Unlike 1968, America in 2020 is in the midst of what appears to be a strong, serious, pre-planned, well orchestrated Marxist Revolution.

    Unlike 1968, in 2020, it is the American culture, economic system, Constitutional system, history, and way of life that are under challenge; in short, all that the"Silent Majority" values.

    Ergo, it is the Silent Majority itself, not Trump, that is the actual target of the revolutionaries. Trump, is the mere personification of that majority, just my opinion of course.

    Perhaps a change in nomenclature is appropriate: From "The Silent Majority" to "The Targeted Majority?"
