COVID COVID COVID

Did Joe Biden win this race or was he an innocent bystander recruited to fill the leadership void created by a President who was self-destructing over a virus called COVID-19?

Before the election, he told a rally audience of maskless, distanceless supporters that his problem with the press was that all they could talk about is "COVID, COVID, COVID." as if he was a more important story than a pandemic that has taken over 238,000 American lives and infected 10 million of her citizens.

Your health is everything, without it, nothing else matters. Think about that, how can you support your family, your friends, your employer, and your country while lying in a hospital bed under a ventilator. We must defeat COVID first if we have any chance of rebuilding our financial infrastructure. This is not chicken or egg, this is life or death.

COVID has been Trump's nemesis, it's no wonder; it stalks his campaign, his WH staff, his Vice President's staff, and millions of Americans who follow his example.

COVID stalls our economy, COVID threatens our health, COVID kills our citizens, COVID causes cultural disruption, job loss, and industrial dysfunction, especially for small businesses.

Yes, Mr. President, you should shout "COVID, COVID, COVID" it has ended your presidency.

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

Neil Gaiman

This pandemic may not be a fairy tale, but the dragon exists, it's called COVID-19 and it can be beaten.

This is about a fresh start, it's about trusting the experts, the science, and the professionals in government. It's about compassion and empathy and the ability to lead by example, not personality. It's about responsibility and ethical governance; it's about JOE BIDEN, a moderate Democrat, without the ultra-liberal baggage.

The voters have exercised their constitutional duty in record numbers and the results are in, all the results, Joe Biden, the Irish Catholic kid from Scranton, PA, a professional politician with 40 years of experience has been elected President of The United States of America with a historical plurality.

Throw in the sponge Mr. President, do the right thing for once in your life and save us the angst of watching you twist in an agonizing storm of defeat, concede, like a man.

CHAOS REVISITED

" a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order." Isn't four years of this enough, seriously? The constant media drumbeat, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, dominating the headlines, the news shows, and our conversation. This did not happen by accident, this was a calculated strategy by a certified narcissist. "Narcissism: a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others." The Trump supporters say that "this is just Trump being Trump" that, my friends, is precisely the problem. Now that he's lost the election and his sycophants in Congress have replaced their horns with silence, if not acceptance, wouldn't you think the man would suck it up, acknowledge the inevitable, exhibit a modicum of humility and devise an exit strategy that would highlight his accomplishments not feed his addi...

SILENCE IS APPROVAL~Jewish Meme

How often do we learn something awful, clam up, and ignore it, hoping it will go away. It never does, it just gets worse and our silence becomes its enabler. Life is like that, we don't want to get involved. We have enough to worry about and ignorance, after all, is bliss. Wrong, ignorance is acceptance. The easy analogy is governance. We sit in a management meeting or a board of directors where we become aware of something nefarious and keep silent for fear of being disloyal. To speak up takes courage and courage has consequences. When a whistleblower comes forward they are vilified, they become the victim of power and power corrupts. We've seen this in Washington for years, management teams being selected for their weakness rather than their strength. Weakness breeds indecision and silence, strength breeds courage. A new administration always starts with a ray of hope that the management team, aka the cabinet, will be outspoken and advise and consent with courage, no...

A NEW NORMAL, OR IS IT?

The more things change, the more they stay the same, “plus ça change , plus c'est la même chose “ – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, 1849 COVID-19 is raging across the country, case counts are setting new records day after day with deaths a lagging indicator. President-Elect Joe Biden is on course to put the nation's health #1 on his agenda with the appointment of a new commission to advise him on mitigation and containment strategy. Joe knows he's not a medical expert, much less a trained scientist, COVID is not a political issue it's a national health issue, it's an economic issue, it's a jobs issue. An election will not control COVID-19, science and leadership will. We'll have a new administration but the same problem, what's needed is public acceptance of a strategy driven by science and common sense. "Ah, is it just me or does anybody see The new improved tomorrow isn't what it used to be Yesterday keeps comin' 'round, it's just...
