noqreport--2020-04-01--Liberty grabber fail on an epic scale: Big box retailers to remain open JUST to sell guns

If there is one silver lining in the whole ChiComVirus pandemic , it would have to be that liberty grabber left has dramatically lost the argument on guns .
They are losing it in other areas , but this is the most prominent .
Although they try to hide their control obsession with their false labels , the authoritarian left sometimes can ’ t resist trying to exploit any ‘ serious crisis ’ that comes along .
As a result , they have shut down the NICS system in New Jersey .
That is the background check system the left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exist .
In other places , they have shut down gun stores or deemed that fundamental human rights are ‘ non-essential ’ , because reasons .
While the left is working overtime to keep innocent people helpless , leftists are falling all over themselves in trying to release criminals back out the street .
This is at a time when the men and women of the law enforcement community find themselves in danger and laid low by the ChiComVirus .
So , we have a situation where innocent people have to remain confined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to roam the streets .
Understanding these actions of the left must take several degrees of dementia .
Leftist show they aren ’ t liberal when they deem that basic human rights aren ’ t essential None of this can beat what is taking place in Wake County in the state of North Carolina .
They decided to not only shut down gun stores as ‘ non-essential ’ but the local Sheriff decided to suspend applications for concealed handgun permits , as well as for Pistol Purchase Permits , the anachronistic throwback to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This did not sit well with the state and national pro-liberty groups such as Grass Roots North Carolina , Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition .
They filed a federal lawsuit challenging Wake County Sheriff Gerald M. Baker ’ s recent actions infringing on Second and Fourteenth Amendment rights he announced as a response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic .
Gun Owner of America and Grass Roots North Carolina also threatened legal action against the county for the closing down of a Constitutional right by local fiat .
This was too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revised their emergency order .
In these trying times , it ’ s quite amusing to find a situation that illustrates how the left is losing the argument on liberty .
In this case , it ’ s the fact that Large box retailers are to only sell guns : There are other places to fulfill these needs , such as Carolina Gunrunners .
However , there is a special irony that certain retailers are to be open to just sell guns .

Isn’t jail the ultimate in social distancing?
While the left is working overtime to keep innocent people helpless, leftists are falling all over themselves in trying to release criminals back out the street. This is at a time when the men and women of the law enforcement community find themselves in danger and laid low by the ChiComVirus.
So, we have a situation where innocent people have to remain confined to their homes while criminals are free to roam the streets. Understanding these actions of the left must take several degrees of dementia.
Leftist show they aren’t liberal when they deem that basic human rights aren’t essential
None of this can beat what is taking place in Wake County in the state of North Carolina. They decided to not only shut down gun stores as ‘non-essential’ but the local Sheriff decided to suspend applications for concealed handgun permits, as well as for Pistol Purchase Permits, the anachronistic throwback to the ‘Jim Crow’ era.
This did not sit well with the state and national pro-liberty groups such as Grass Roots North Carolina, Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition. They filed a federal lawsuit challenging Wake County Sheriff Gerald M. Baker’s recent actions infringing on Second and Fourteenth Amendment rights he announced as a response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Leftist fail on an epic scale
Gun Owner of America and Grass Roots North Carolina also threatened legal action against the county for the closing down of a Constitutional right by local fiat. This was too much for the liberticidal leftists and they revised their emergency order.
In these trying times, it’s quite amusing to find a situation that illustrates how the left is losing the argument on liberty. In this case, it’s the fact that Large box retailers are to only sell guns:
Are gun retailers allowed to operate?
Gun stores implementing social distancing requirements for employees and customers as defined in the order may remain open. Large box retailers that have a gun department are allowed to remain open solely to conduct exempt retail activity, such as gun purchases, but all non-exempt retail activity must be suspended.
[Emphasis added]
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
There are other places to fulfill these needs, such as Carolina Gunrunners. However, there is a special irony that certain retailers are to be open to just sell guns.

noqreport--2020-04-01--Supercut: Democrats give dangerous Chi-Com virus advice

Were it not such a horrifying reality , this video from Grabien of prominent leftists dismissing the danger from the Chi-Com Virus would almost be amusing .
Instead , the reaction is of jaw-dropping silence in light of what is taking place in the cities that these officials swore to protect .
It features New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot , Mayor Bill de Blasio , Representative Nancy Pelosi and assorted leftists .
As they encouraged people to ‘ go about your life ’ and ‘ go out to eat ’ .
It also features the video of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he wouldn ’ t close down the borders .
They also downplayed the danger of the virus , comparing it to the flu or common cold .
The last words of the video were even more chilling with Dr. Barbot commenting that if it were transmitted casually , we would see a lot more cases .
Granted , this is all ‘ 2020 ’ , but anyone paying attention should have seen this coming from Communist China and the rest of the world .

Ted Cruz, Maria Bartiromo discuss whether the coronavirus originated in Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory

They weren ’ t the first and they won ’ t be the last to discuss the topic , but Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and Senator Ted Cruz talked about the origins of the Wuhan Coronavirus today .
Their talk turned conspiratorial as they speculated the disease may have accidentally escaped the level 4 biosafety lab in Wuhan known as the National Biosafety Laboratory .
As they noted , mainstream media has been doing everything in its power to prevent such speculation from emerging .
They are complicit in the Chinese Communist Party cover up by pretending like the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is somehow unworthy of being asked .
But the facts that are known are compelling .
At this lab , which is essentially right next to the reported epicenter of the outbreak , Chinese scientists study coronaviruses , including those contained in bats .
It ’ s an odd coincidence that an outbreak of the very disease that ’ s ravaging the world was contained in a laboratory located at the heart of the outbreak .
Is it possible that it really originated from humans eating bats ?
Certainly .
But the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been serving bats for a long time .
Why did it now make the jump to humans ?
Isn ’ t it as possible if not more likely that containment of a virus that had already been extracted and turned contagious to humans was accidentally released at the lab next door to the wet market ?
“ No one is arguing that this is a biological weapon the Chinese army created , ” Cruz said .
“ In fact , what seems plausible if not likely is that this was a virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Mainstream media has deflected the question of origin by saying that “ science ” tells us this wasn ’ t manufactured by humans .
But this is a pure deflection , as the Senator noted .
Instead of addressing whether or not it accidentally escaped , mainstream media is running cover for China by chalking it up as a conspiracy theory .
“ We knew they were studying bats , ” Cruz continued .
“ We knew they were studying coronaviruses .
It was being studied at the lab and the natural @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak right next to where they ’ re studying this virus is , well , somehow it escaped , presumably accidentally , that some safety protocol wasn ’ t followed.
” This is not something that needs to be dismissed as a conspiracy theory .
It ’ s a legitimate question that very few seem to be willing to ask .
But as Ted Cruz told Maria Bartiromo , when the dust settles from our immediate crisis , it ’ ll be time to seek answers .

noqreport--2020-04-01--April Fools lie: Joe Scarborough rewrites coronavirus history with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

This morning , in what can only be an April Fool ’ s Day joke , MSNBC ’ s Joe Scarborough brought Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel on to lambaste the Trump Administration ’ s response to the Coronavirus .
Scarborough , in typical Morning Joe fashion , predicates an obvious softball question with false information , guiding Emanuel to attack Trump .
Joe : “ We ’ ve heard , Zeke Emanuel , that nobody could have seen this coming .
The fact is everybody saw this coming , everybody saw this coming in early January… ” Here ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before , the best place to look for the truth in this matter is to see what the Biden Coronavirus Task Force was saying BEFORE they joined Team Biden .
However , further research into precisely what Emanuel had been saying turned up the extraordinary clip from January 29th .
And to be clear , January 29th is way after “ early January.
” Let ’ s go to the video : Emanuel : “ I do think we need to put this somewhat into context .
Which is… its likely to spread… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before it gets better .
And we know that there will be people that unfortunately die from this .
But , is this likely to break out into some major pandemic around the world ?
Unlikely .
We ’ re likely to be able to contain it .
Obviously it would have been better if we had done some containment earlier on and the Chinese had been a little more open earlier on .
But these kinds of things are often hard to figure out about what the right measure is , especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ severe it ’ s going to be right at the start .
But I would put in context we have tens of thousands of people in the United States who die every year from the flu… .
Whatever this Coronavirus is , its very , very , very unlikely to be that severe .
And yet our response , because its new and novel , tends to be much more histrionic I think than it is… We live with the flu , it ’ s just the flu but it also kills a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill at the same high rate but it does kill tens of thousands of Americans and your chance of getting it from colleagues is low.
” But wait , there ’ s more .
Later , as the discussion turns towards costs , Zeke notes that people may not go to the doctor to get tested because of the co-pays and deductibles associated with medical coverage : Emanuel : “ That is a gap in our ability to respond .
This is unlikely to be a major issue , this Coronavirus , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or some issue is seriously impeded when people are worried ‘ oh , maybe I won ’ t go to the doctor because I have symptoms but I can ’ t afford to show up at the urgent care , primary care doctor… ’ that is not a good place for us to be.
” This , of course , is the greatest of ironies because it was none other Zeke Emanuel himself who took credit for convincing President Obama to go with the since repealed Cadillac Tax as a matter of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control ?
The Cadillac Tax was designed to slow nudge low out-of-pocket company plans into higher out-of-pocket company plans in order to create a disincentive to use the health care system .
March 27 , 2016 — It was an investment adviser from Philadelphia who stumbled onto one of the biggest stories about the Affordable Care Act to date .
His name is Rich Weinstein and he helped expose a startling set of videos that changed how many Americans view Obamacare .

On them , a key Obamacare adviser admits they intentionally misled voters , whom he called stupid .
Weinstein tells Full Measure how he dug up the videos as a citizen journalist and warns of more trouble ahead .
The problem with Zeke and Joe is that this is no April Fools Day joke .
They are intentionally lying to the American people for what can only be for political purposes and to turn the nation against the President .
Only this time , the joke ’ s on them .

Took awhile, but I’ve found the first time Scarborough offers any kind of commentary on the Coronavirus. It’s from Feb. 26th … only about 2 months after he said “everybody” was talking about it pic.twitter.com/klOfkc87oi — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 1, 2020

noqreport--2020-04-02--Train operator Eduardo Moreno derailed a train in an attempt to sink the USNS Mercy

When the headline hit my Twitter feed , I assumed it was a poor-taste April Fools Day joke .
After all , what sane person would derail a train in order to sink a medical ship ?

Nope , it wasn ’ t a joke .
The Department of Justice , who isn ’ t prone to playing April Fools Day jokes , released the press release below .

LOS ANGELES – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Los Angeles was arrested this morning on federal charges for allegedly running a locomotive at full speed off the end of rail tracks near the USNS Mercy .
Eduardo Moreno , 44 , of San Pedro , was charged today in a criminal complaint with one count of train wrecking as a result of an incident Tuesday afternoon .
According to the criminal complaint filed in United States District Court , Moreno admitted in two separate interviews with law enforcement authorities that he intentionally derailed and crashed the train near the Mercy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of tracks , and crashed through a series of barriers before coming to rest more than 250 yards from the Mercy .
No one was injured in the incident , and the Mercy was not harmed or damaged in any way .
The incident did result in the train leaking a substantial amount of fuel oil , which required clean up by fire and other hazardous materials personnel .
The train crash was witnessed by a California Highway Patrol officer , who took Moreno into custody as he fled the scene .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Moreno , conducted an interview and obtained permission to search his residence .

Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack .
While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train , he said he knew it would bring media attention and “ people could see for themselves , ” referring to the Mercy , according to the affidavit .
In a second interview with FBI agents , Moreno stated that “ he did it out of the desire to ‘ wake people up , ’ ” according to the affidavit .

Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack. While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and “people could see for themselves,” referring to the Mercy, according to the affidavit.
In a second interview with FBI agents, Moreno stated that “he did it out of the desire to ‘wake people up,’” according to the affidavit. “Moreno stated that he thought that the U.S.N.S. Mercy was suspicious and did not believe ‘the ship is what they say it’s for.’”

noqreport--2020-04-02--AOC’s latest rant: Only government can protect people from their own stupidity

The hot takes on Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ unhinged CCP Virus rant video yesterday were shockingly diverse for a video that was under two-minutes long. There were at least a dozen disparate angles from which conservatives on social media could attack as the freshman Congresswoman called on people to go on a “rent strike.” She wants to teach those dastardly landlords a lesson. Never mind that this is arguably the darkest non-wartime hour in our nation’s history. For Ocasio-Cortez, there’s no bad time to promote Marxist principles.
Two of my favorite perspectives came in a single quoted-retweet:
AOC is so irresponsible. She literally has no idea what she's talking about, can't form a sentence without using the word "organization" 17 times, and won't explain her point on why capitalism is bad because she doesn't know how to. https://t.co/AhP2cZdonk — Jessica Fletcher (@heckyessica) April 2, 2020
That clip is getting most of the play on social media, and rightly so because it’s completely unhinged in both topic and presentation. We’ve grown accustomed over the last 14 months to AOC being unhinged, but this was one of her special moments when she detaches further from reality than normal.

But near the end, we get to the meat of the issue as she went after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:
Here’s @AOC going on a rant about how Trump didn’t take coronavirus “seriously” and that people are dying because of him. However, Trump put travel restrictions on China early on and AOC claimed it was racist for people not to be going to Chinese restaurants because of the virus pic.twitter.com/xQZZxlmwt7 — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 2, 2020
It’s apparently DeSantis’ fault that people were “packing” beaches and spreading the CCP Virus across the nation. And therein lies the biggest difference between a conservative and a radical progressive. Conservative see people going to the beach and either recognize them as living their lives and enjoying the virus-killing UV rays, or we see them as idiots. It all depends on how we perceive the risk of going out in public, and neither perspective is impeachable. But to an authoritarian like AOC, these poor people are all victims because government didn’t step in and mandate compliance. They have no personal responsibility for their actions in the eyes of leftists because we’re all incapable of making decisions on our own. We’re just fools who must be subjugated for our own good.
To AOC, the only way we’re able to survive in this world is by depending on government to do the thinking for us. This is why we need a conservative movement during and after the crisis. The left is coming for our rights.

noqreport--2020-04-03--Democrat NYC nurses: Andrew Cuomo led ‘drive to close down hospital beds’

If former Vice President Joe Biden continues to fail at winning the confidence of Democrats in general and the DNC in particular , it seems increasingly likely they will make a move at or before the Democratic National Convention to replace him with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo .
That ’ s fine for many Republicans who see Cuomo as a weak leader who is even more unpopular than Biden to many in the progressive base .
But those who have actually had to live through his policies over the years are starting to speak out , including lifelong Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both are nurses in New York City and are facing the hardships we ’ ve all been hearing about .
The video above by far-left Democracy Now !
calls out Cuomo for his failed policies .
They see the problem of a drastically reduced capacity and blame their Governor directly for it .
“ I would call Governor Cuomo probably the single most important person in terms of the drive to close down hospital beds in this state over the last 20 years , ” Petty said .
“ In New York state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 53,000 beds from the year 2000 to the present time .
So , specifically because of policies that Governor Cuomo has pursued , we are now 20,000 beds behind where we need to be in terms of trying to scale up our capacity to these unprecedented levels.
” What makes it worse for Democrats who support Cuomo is that his policies weren ’ t driven by progressive pet projects , but good ol ’ fashioned capitalism in the healthcare system .
Empty beds establish a cost without generating revenues , so Cuomo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical conglomerates was the driving force behind his sustained push to reduce hospital capacities .
He ’ s also getting called out for hoarding ventilators even though hospitals are calling for them .
They are currently experiencing a shortage , but the Governor said he ’ s holding them for the “ apex ” before deploying them .
While Cuomo ’ s claiming ventilators aren ’ t needed right now , word from the ground at hospitals throughout New York are claiming otherwise .
“ The biggest issue right now is space , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but we ’ re trying to… we know that the surge is going to happen , ” said Cabrera .
“ All we ’ re trying to do is best prepare for it and unfortunately it ’ s making us make some really hard decisions .
Outside of New York , Andrew Cuomo is being propped up as a hero by the left .
But those on the ground at hospitals in NY City , including Democrats , realize their coronavirus problems should be directly blamed on the Governor .

What makes it worse for Democrats who support Cuomo is that his policies weren’t driven by progressive pet projects, but good ol’ fashioned capitalism in the healthcare system. Empty beds establish a cost without generating revenues, so Cuomo’s partnership with pharmaceutical companies and medical conglomerates was the driving force behind his sustained push to reduce hospital capacities.
He’s also getting called out for hoarding ventilators even though hospitals are calling for them. They are currently experiencing a shortage, but the Governor said he’s holding them for the “apex” before deploying them.
This makes zero sense.
Even an AOC voter can figure out that Andrew Cuomo lied about ventilators to score political points.
Watch Cuomo explain how he has thousands of stockpile ventilators that he's won't use after he blamed Trump for not helping him.

noqreport--2020-04-03--COVID-19: Lessons learned about what really matters and what does not

As I sit here on a tropical island in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean , I am not at the epicenter of this world pandemic .
Yet life is far from normal these days .
I love sitting on my front porch in the late afternoon like this getting fresh air .
The one most noticeable difference right now is that there are no commercial flights going over and not even the occasional military fighters .
Just an occasional small plane and a helicopter or two .
But still plenty of birds as usual .
As my wife @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are retired and I just go out to pick up food and supplies and come straight back , that gives us plenty of time to consider the important things in life .
She is doing a lot of personal Bible studies .
I am , while still very much attuned to God ’ s plan in all this , keeping up on events here and around the world .
Here in the normally bustling City and County of Honolulu on the island of Oahu , in the not-that-long-ago past , it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and crowding .
Right now , the opposite is the case with closed hotels and a shut-down tourist industry .
Malls and all non-essentials are closed and only food places are available for takeout .
Who would have ever thought that Hawaii would have to prevent tourists from coming here by requiring a 14-day quarantine in their hotel room ?
Local Mayors have now asked President Trump to stop all air traffic completely from coming to Hawaii .
Not even our Governor has the authority to do that .
Hawaii has thus far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as have other locales on the United States mainland .
As of Thursday , April 2nd , there are 285 cases here in the State of Hawaii , of which 206 are here on this island with the rest on Hawaii Island , Maui and Kauai .
The 2nd death has just occurred .
But as I follow what is going on in New York City , it is heart-wrenching to see the agony that people are suffering .
I think it is safe to venture to say that life is not normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world since this pandemic began .
We all long to know whether things will ever be as they were before .
My own personal assessment of that is that things will never be as we have experienced them up until now .
So , now we all have a lot of time in our homes to reflect on what this mortal existence is all about .
Virtually all entertainment , sports and pleasure time activities have been suspended .
There has already been one tragic sensational domestic violence case here in Hawaii which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being confined with those with whom you had chosen to share your life .
This will severely test the cohesion of family units .
Do they have common values that endure even in a time of crisis ?
We are being reminded that human nature does not change just because our environment and our circumstances change .
Those who are selfish and self-centered will remain so .
Those who care more about others than about their own ego will demonstrate that inner nature as things unfold .
I ’ m being a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature to do .
But we also need to consider the wider picture .
What are the ramifications for the world and for the geopolitical situation during this time ?
When all the embellishments are stripped away , world leaders will be tested and have to show their mettle .
Just as in the Kumbaya moment that followed 9/11/2001 , we now see that those who have it within themselves to do so will see our common cause to survive and will shed all political and career ambitions .
The first case that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States Aircraft Carrier Theodore Roosevelt which is now in Guam with numerous coronavirus cases among the crew .
He wrote a letter to his chain of command pleading with the Navy to elevate their efforts to protect sailors under his charge in an environment where social distancing is absolutely impossible .
As anticipated , he has now been relieved of duty and his career is virtually over .
But , he did what he felt was right and necessary , whatever the personal expense .
President Trump has also very much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last few days .
I won ’ t speculate as to what exactly it was that finally got his attention .
But it ’ s obvious that he now realizes this is an existential struggle that determines the future of our country and of all Americans .
We can only hope that Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee will also realize that we must work together to get through this even in a political election year .
I wasn ’ t around in 1940 , but I ’ ve always heard that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unprecedented third term as the war clouds gathered because they knew that it was not time to have a different leader at the helm .
I truly believe we are in this situation now .
Our international foes are not going to let up .
Quite the contrary , they are going to try to exploit the situation and see whether we as a nation are able to multitask and respond accordingly even as so many of our countrymen are perishing from the virus .
When I first heard the announcement from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Staff that the United States military would take the lead in interdicting narcotics coming from Venezuela , my first reaction was to ask why was Department of Homeland Security being sidelined .
Then , it became apparent that Iran and their surrogate Hezbollah are behind this to attempt to further undermine our society when they think we are susceptible and vulnerable .
Likewise , China ( who I sincerely believe purposely engineered this worldwide pandemic ) is very much using it only in the interests of the Chinese Communist Party elite , Xi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vessel has rammed a Japanese warship and it was apparently deliberate .
The militarization of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea continues unabated and probably accelerated .
That ’ s why I believe this military operation in the Caribbean may very well also be intended to send a message to China that we in America do indeed still know how to walk and chew gum at the same time .
We are not going to let our enemies , of any ideological orientation anywhere in the world take advantage of us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis .
Americans have always been at our best when we realize that we as a nation are all on the same side despite our disagreements on various political issues .
I fully disagree with most Democrats on just about every social platform .
But I do believe in my heart that the majority of them , if they will just admit it even to themselves , do realize that our national survival is at stake not only in the midst of a health crisis , but also that we must stand united @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the water and are ready to make a shark attack .
It is already also apparent among our friends around the world which ones are true friends and not just opportunists .
My own background , having spent most of my adult life in the Asia-Pacific region , along with my vantage point here in Hawaii at America ’ s Mid-Pacific Frontier , enables me to keep in touch with what is transpiring .
The two countries at this point that we should work most closely with in this part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have stable political systems and values of mutual respect .
I spent three years in the Philippines back during the Marcos era and it has always been and remains a second home for me .
I am deeply troubled to see the disturbing actions of current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte , who is most aptly described as an accident looking for a place to happen .
But the Fil-Am relationship will endure .
We must also stand by our ally Taiwan and not allow Beijing to bully them , let alone to ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a nation founded upon principle , if we were ever to abandon Taiwan , all our foreign policy after that would be nothing more than whistling in the wind .
I bring all this up because , as I said at the beginning , we have come down to determining what really matters and what doesn ’ t really matter .
We can live our lives without entertainment for a season .
We can hunker down and avoid spreading the virus .
But , we must preserve our values .
That includes personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So , then , do we really have any American national values that are essential , indispensable and non-negotiable ?
I ’ m not going here in this brief essay to attempt to define , list and categorize them all .
Suffice it to say , that in my estimation , they do exist .
What are they ?
I will leave you with that question to answer in your own heart !
America will survive as we all determine in our innermost beings what life is all about and why we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ universe beyond .
We all realize that we are mortal .
We will not live forever here on earth .
Whether or not there is a COVID-19 pandemic does not alter that indisputable fact .
I ’ m not going to preach to you or give you a theological dissertation .
I will just admonish you , one and all , to be sure you are prepared for what lies ahead .
If what you see around you now doesn ’ t get your attention , chances are nothing will before it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to you ?
Does the Creator of the universe have a Master Plan for us all ?
Or is this just the inevitable entropy in a meaningless existence ?
One thing for sure is that life will never return to what it was before .
Now that we ’ ve got a lot of time on our hands , staying home and avoiding the spread of COVID-19 , this is a perfect time for us all to answer that most basic existential question of all .
Will we just extend our mortal lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrive ?
This is not a decision made in the halls of power in national capitals around the world .
This is your opportunity and clarion call to make that ultimate decision for yourself .
The COVID-19 crisis will pass .
So may this unprecedented opportunity for introspection during a time uncluttered by distractions when we can focus upon what really matters .
What will it be like tomorrow , next week , next month , next year ?
Actually , that is the wrong pronoun .
Not what will “ it ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ we ” be like ?
Ask yourself : “ What will ‘ I ’ be like ?
” If you don ’ t like the answer to that question , now is the time to change course .
I recommend The Answer in John 3:16-17 .
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son , that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life .
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism .

Just as in the Kumbaya moment that followed 9/11/2001, we now see that those who have it within themselves to do so will see our common cause to survive and will shed all political and career ambitions.
The first case that comes to mind is the Captain of the United States Aircraft Carrier Theodore Roosevelt which is now in Guam with numerous coronavirus cases among the crew. He wrote a letter to his chain of command pleading with the Navy to elevate their efforts to protect sailors under his charge in an environment where social distancing is absolutely impossible. As anticipated, he has now been relieved of duty and his career is virtually over. But, he did what he felt was right and necessary, whatever the personal expense.
President Trump has also very much taken this crisis to heart in the last few days. I won’t speculate as to what exactly it was that finally got his attention. But it’s obvious that he now realizes this is an existential struggle that determines the future of our country and of all Americans.
We can only hope that Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee will also realize that we must work together to get through this even in a political election year. I wasn’t around in 1940, but I’ve always heard that America re-elected President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term as the war clouds gathered because they knew that it was not time to have a different leader at the helm.
I truly believe we are in this situation now. Our international foes are not going to let up. Quite the contrary, they are going to try to exploit the situation and see whether we as a nation are able to multitask and respond accordingly even as so many of our countrymen are perishing from the virus.
When I first heard the announcement from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the United States military would take the lead in interdicting narcotics coming from Venezuela, my first reaction was to ask why was Department of Homeland Security being sidelined. Then, it became apparent that Iran and their surrogate Hezbollah are behind this to attempt to further undermine our society when they think we are susceptible and vulnerable.
“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
Likewise, China (who I sincerely believe purposely engineered this worldwide pandemic) is very much using it only in the interests of the Chinese Communist Party elite, Xi Jinping and his minions.
A Chinese vessel has rammed a Japanese warship and it was apparently deliberate. The militarization of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea continues unabated and probably accelerated.
That’s why I believe this military operation in the Caribbean may very well also be intended to send a message to China that we in America do indeed still know how to walk and chew gum at the same time. We are not going to let our enemies, of any ideological orientation anywhere in the world take advantage of us while we are dealing with this COVID-19 crisis.

But I do believe in my heart that the majority of them, if they will just admit it even to themselves, do realize that our national survival is at stake not only in the midst of a health crisis, but also that we must stand united against our enemies abroad who sense blood in the water and are ready to make a shark attack.
It is already also apparent among our friends around the world which ones are true friends and not just opportunists. My own background, having spent most of my adult life in the Asia-Pacific region, along with my vantage point here in Hawaii at America’s Mid-Pacific Frontier, enables me to keep in touch with what is transpiring.
The two countries at this point that we should work most closely with in this part of the world are Japan and Australia. Both have stable political systems and values of mutual respect.
I spent three years in the Philippines back during the Marcos era and it has always been and remains a second home for me. I am deeply troubled to see the disturbing actions of current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is most aptly described as an accident looking for a place to happen. But the Fil-Am relationship will endure.
We must also stand by our ally Taiwan and not allow Beijing to bully them, let alone to ever actually invade and subjugate them. As a nation founded upon principle, if we were ever to abandon Taiwan, all our foreign policy after that would be nothing more than whistling in the wind.
I bring all this up because, as I said at the beginning, we have come down to determining what really matters and what doesn’t really matter. We can live our lives without entertainment for a season. We can hunker down and avoid spreading the virus. But, we must preserve our values. That includes personal values, family values and national values.
So, then, do we really have any American national values that are essential, indispensable and non-negotiable? I’m not going here in this brief essay to attempt to define, list and categorize them all. Suffice it to say, that in my estimation, they do exist.
What are they? I will leave you with that question to answer in your own heart! America will survive as we all determine in our innermost beings what life is all about and why we are on this planet amidst an infinite universe beyond.
We all realize that we are mortal. We will not live forever here on earth. Whether or not there is a COVID-19 pandemic does not alter that indisputable fact.
I’m not going to preach to you or give you a theological dissertation. I will just admonish you, one and all, to be sure you are prepared for what lies ahead. If what you see around you now doesn’t get your attention, chances are nothing will before it’s too late.
What matters most to you? Does the Creator of the universe have a Master Plan for us all? Or is this just the inevitable entropy in a meaningless existence?
One thing for sure is that life will never return to what it was before. Now that we’ve got a lot of time on our hands, staying home and avoiding the spread of COVID-19, this is a perfect time for us all to answer that most basic existential question of all.
Will we just extend our mortal lives a few more years or will we thrive? This is not a decision made in the halls of power in national capitals around the world. This is your opportunity and clarion call to make that ultimate decision for yourself.
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
The COVID-19 crisis will pass. So may this unprecedented opportunity for introspection during a time uncluttered by distractions when we can focus upon what really matters.
What will it be like tomorrow, next week, next month, next year? Actually, that is the wrong pronoun. Not what will “it” be like, but rather what will “we” be like? Ask yourself: “What will ‘I’ be like?”
If you don’t like the answer to that question, now is the time to change course. I recommend The Answer in John 3:16-17.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

noqreport--2020-04-03--Conversations with Jeff: JD Rucker discusses the American Conservative Movement

It ’ s funny how predictable the responses to the CCP Virus have been .
When our EIC , JD Rucker , went on with Jeff Dornik on the Gatekeepers Podcasting Network show , their discussion of the way government and people are reacting to the coronavirus has proven to be absolutely correct so far .
It ’ s big government all the way down as the only solutions being offered .
As Rucker noted , the federal government should be the last line of defense .
As President Trump has said many times , the cities and states should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their medical needs .
But many are pointing fingers at the administration to not only take charge of caring for those affected by the coronavirus , but also in bailing out the people and businesses .
This video was recorded before the bailout was signed , but it rightly predicted everything that has happened so far .
If there was a need for new conservative movement to form , this whole coronavirus crisis is the wake up call .

Death of America

Coronavirus has completely encapsulated every facet of our lives and American society .
Therefore , I became curious and started looking up some stats on projected death rates .
In the worst-case scenario , the administration is telling us it would be approximately 2.2 million deaths if we did nothing .
As a nation of approximately 330 million people , that would mean the death toll would be 0.67 % of our population .
Our response to this projection ?
We have slammed the brakes on our economy and way of life .
The results ?
Unemployment is skyrocketing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployment may hit 32 % .
This would be the highest in our nation ’ s history – 24.9 % during the Great Depression in 1933 .
Since they underestimated the last unemployment numbers and an entire month of harsher shutdowns awaits us , I suspect the unemployment rate to be higher , possibly around 40 % , if not higher .
Tens of thousands of small businesses will collapse , but most large corporations will remain .
People ’ s jobs , life savings , retirement accounts , and home values will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sweep in more socialism to hypothetically save approximately 2 million lives , because if we take these drastic measures , we may only lose about 100,000 to 240,000 Americans .
So is 2.2 million deaths a certainty ?
No , 2.2 million is based on a model taken from Neil Ferguson from Imperial College which originally estimated 500,000 deaths in the UK , which was later revised to 20,000 .
So even our estimate of 2.2 million is highly questionable .
Even Stanford professor John Ioannidis states that data indicates we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s not the only one ( see video below ) .
So we will add trillions of dollars to the debt , vastly devalue our currency , and weaken the nation as a whole for a questionable hypothetical ?
Because , you know , government bureaucrats have never been wrong .
I ’ m no callous to these numbers .
Every life is precious , but we have to ask this question , are the American people and the world better off with a weaken America or strong America ?
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are advocating a shutdown would say if fighting the Civil War was worth the cost ?
I ’ m positive they would all say yes , as I do .
If we take soldier deaths , not including civilians deaths , the Civil War resulted in approximately 620,000 lives .
Our population in the 1850 ’ s census was 23,191,876 .
That means the death rate was 2.7 % of the American population or roughly four times higher than the highly skeptical worst-case estimates of 2.2 million deaths from COVID-19 .
Yet we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fought .
We have always counted the costs and risen to face the challenges that try men ’ s souls .
We have never backed down from the difficult questions or the task at hand .
Therefore , I ’ m wondering when we will start acting like Americans and do that which made us the greatest country on the face of the earth and stop being control by fear and start asking the hard question ?
How long can we go before we can ’ t rebound from this , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approaches can we take to protect American lives while not suiciding our country at the same time ?
I ask these questions because this is not just a viral pandemic that we have to confront but a political reality that our nation ’ s future is at risk .
I ask because I want a debate on what we need to do to save lives and this great republic of ours .
I do not believe the approach we are taking is the best path forward .
I ’ m no expert , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the answers , but we need to be the America we once were and have this hard conversation before the death of America is no longer a hypothetical but a reality .

The answer is self-evident.
I wonder if any of these experts that are advocating a shutdown would say if fighting the Civil War was worth the cost? I’m positive they would all say yes, as I do.
If we take soldier deaths, not including civilians deaths, the Civil War resulted in approximately 620,000 lives. Our population in the 1850’s census was 23,191,876. That means the death rate was 2.7% of the American population or roughly four times higher than the highly skeptical worst-case estimates of 2.2 million deaths from COVID-19.
Yet we still fought, as Americans have always fought. We have always counted the costs and risen to face the challenges that try men’s souls.
We have never backed down from the difficult questions or the task at hand.
Therefore, I’m wondering when we will start acting like Americans and do that which made us the greatest country on the face of the earth and stop being control by fear and start asking the hard question?
How long can we go before we can’t rebound from this, and the great American experiment ends?
What measured approaches can we take to protect American lives while not suiciding our country at the same time?
“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
I ask these questions because this is not just a viral pandemic that we have to confront but a political reality that our nation’s future is at risk. I ask because I want a debate on what we need to do to save lives and this great republic of ours.
I do not believe the approach we are taking is the best path forward. I’m no expert, and I don’t have all the answers, but we need to be the America we once were and have this hard conversation before the death of America is no longer a hypothetical but a reality.
