As you've already heard, the Senate failed to pass the CARES Act on
Sunday, the next phase of Congress's coronavirus emergency relief
effort. The final tally was 47-47, far short of the 60-vote threshold.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke for the Democrats by claiming
that the GOP measure "includes huge bailouts without protections for
people and workers and without accountability, and because it
shortchanges our hospitals and healthcare workers who need our help."
Republican senators immediately chewed out their Democratic colleagues
for another "unbelievable" round of partisan playmaking.
It
is unbelievable that Democrats would stall the relief bill. Senate
Democrats have written many sections of the economic relief bill already
- Now they are holding hostage critical support to combat the COVID19
pandemic for more demands. We need to get aid moving quickly.
Terrorists all over the world are watching the world panic
closely. Biological warfare has been a reality for decades. You may
remember that Saddam Hussein expelled weapons inspectors from the United
Nations after the 9/11 terror attack, which led to the Iraq
war. Saddam’s terror thugs, the Mukhabarat, had indeed developed
biological agents but secretly destroyed the program before the fighting
began - completely fooling allied intelligence services.
Today, many nations have developed virus weaponry and terrorists
would love to acquire the lethal bugs. COVID from China (sorry
race-baiters) has succeeded in severely damaging the worldwide economy
and will eventually kill more than one million people. There will, I
believe, be a vaccine soon that will ease the disaster, but more viruses
are coming.
Some have speculated that Chinese researchers actually spread the
virus after it escaped from a lab near Wuhan. But my investigation says
that is false.
Supporters Say They Trust President Trump’s Response To Coronavirus Pandemic
Support for President Trump and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic is rising. Dual Harris polls
released Friday revealed between March 14th and 18th, the president’s
approval rating jumped 4 percent. Additionally, the approval rating for
his handling of the coronavirus also jumped from 51 to 56 percent.

It's crazy out there as folks are
losing all sense of sanity as now toilet paper...and lots and lots of
it...has become the must have no matter the cost status symbol of the
day. Toilet paper...or TP as it's more affectionately known...has now
turned sane men and women into hoarders who will stop at nothing in
order to walk out of their local supermarket not with their carts
piled high with wholesome and nutritious foodstuffs, but piled high
with package on top of package of toilet paper and also with numerous
bottles of Lysol, Pinesol, Purel, and any and all antibacterial wipes
they can get their maybe someday could become coronavirus infested
hands on.
And while cleanliness is supposedly
next to Godliness, I think even God himself is now saying, “Enough
with the toilet paper already!”
Toilet paper of all
things has now been made into a media rock star of sorts used to
dominate the current 24/7 coronavirus news cycle. And the media's
truly fractured thought process being passed off as logic is that
with enough toilet paper on hand...literally...this new nasty bug
will pass you by...kind of like a modern day version of Passover I
suppose... with the insanity it's breeding be damned.
And while those of
us who are not buying into the hype that this newest coronavirus
known as COVID-19 will kill us all...never mind that it will infect
but a small fraction of us...the Democrat controlled media's biggest
hope remains that with the creating of “The Great Toilet Paper
Rush of 2020” that it will help crash our economy and Trump's
reelection bid at the same time. So while the still sane amongst us
are well aware of this being the true end game, we still have to
accept as fact that the panic scenario that has been created does
indeed touch each and every one of us in one way or another...albeit
in a small way for most of us while some take it to the extreme.
And for me, the
media generated rush for toilet paper helps set the stage for what is
to follow...and it's something that I think in the end will come back
to bite the media in its behind...sure hope their collective TP
stockpile will be enough to wipe up the mess they've help to create.
So let me begin by
filling you in on my last two personal encounters with the TP
crazies, and I'll begin with a little bit of background for each
example.
Early
two Saturday's ago I headed off to PetSmart where I go
once a month to buy special prescription for food one of my kitties.
I entered the store only to discover that the sole checkout line open
was weaving its way through the store. It seems the media is now also
saying that besides TP you'd best stock up on pet food as well
because that too will soon be in short supply and not readily gotten
with us supposedly being in self-quarantine. And so after waiting in
line to pay for the prescription food, I immediately headed over to
Publix for regular cat food for my other three kitties as those in
PetSmart were now trampling over each other to buy the regular
non-prescription cat and dog food. But when I got to Publix I not
only was met with panicking pet owners, but I had my first encounter
with the a fore mentioned TP crazies who were visually shaking over a
virus that few of them will ever get.
So as I'm heading over to the pet food
aisle, maneuvering my shopping cart through the angry and panicked
barrage heading over to the, by this time in the day, empty toilet
paper and paper goods aisle, and as some are now in complete meltdown
mode over the fact that on this particular day in this particular
Publix there is not a single square to spare...nor a box of tissues,
a pack of napkins, or even a roll of paper towels to use as a
substitute if need be...and ditto for the household cleaners aisle
being bare shelved as well...the ridiculousness and absurdity of this
entire media generated crisis has shown itself to be worse than the
virus itself.
Remember, except for folks highly
susceptible to any form of respiratory illness...the very elderly, those
with preexisting conditions or with a compromised immune
system...coronavirus is for most but a bad cold if even that. Just
shows the power of the media in creating a crisis when none should
exist.
But why do I say media generated crisis
you might ask...because if not for the television media...both the
mainstream alphabet media and FOX News too...and most especially
their local affiliates who generate income and viewership by sounding
the coronavirus alarm nonstop...we would not be hightailing it out to
the stores for two to three weeks worth of toilet paper and such
before we shutter ourselves up in our homes...for the community's
good the media claims.
But the insanity of all this is that
instead of us avoiding crowds as we've been told by the media to
do...crowds where we become subject to other peoples sneezing,
coughing, hacking and such...we continue to be media force fed into
believing that by not having enough toilet paper on hand for at least
a couple of weeks usage, that we must now enter the very crowded
places they previously told us not to go into. Makes for good news
stories I guess what with the as required mob scenes, people waiting
in line for their now being rationed by some stores two package
toilet paper limit, as well as seeing the meltdowns of those who
waited in line for hours only to be told that said stores TP
allotment had run out just as their turn came up, but to please come
back tomorrow and wait in line again for a shipment of toilet paper
that might or might not have been delivered.
Oh the look of despair and helplessness
on these folks faces surely makes for must watch TV...the mainstream
media's local affiliates are most assuredly counting on it for both
ratings and advertising revenue.
Now as for my second and quite
unexpected but hopefully last foray into the “The Great Toilet
Paper Rush of 2020,” let me begin by saying that I am not and
will never be a hoarder especially in regards to grocery store items
nor do I panic every time the media cries wolf. I grocery shop once a
week for that week's needed items, and I do so on Sunday morning when
my local Publix is not crowded. In fact, I, like many other long time
and native Floridians, do not overstock on items even in hurricane
season for time has proven that more times than not we're
inconvenienced for but a few days.
We Floridians, as a general rule, are
not the panicky sort but when the media started their brouhaha that a
two to three week supply of toilet paper was needed to get us through
the worst of this now designated coronavirus pandemic...which the
smart amongst us know is not even close to pandemic in nature...all
hell broke loose here as it has across the country. But something I
noticed last Sunday as I did my as usual weekly shopping was
that both Publix and Winn-Dixie are...along with most of our nation's
grocery stores...as much to blame for the TP panic as is the media.
How so...because when the media manufactured and generated toilet
paper crisis first became public fodder these stores allowed
panicking folks to purchase cart high mounds of TP leaving none for
we loyal regular weekly shoppers. And to make matters worse, as the
panic set in over toilet paper said panic expanded into cleaning
products, canned goods, fresh produce, and bread stuffs as well now
leaving both store chains with a growing number of empty shelves.
So with my being able to purchase at
Publix not even half of what I normally buy every week due to the
items being unavailable...toilet paper included...before I headed off
to Winn-Dixie in hopes of finding even a roll or two of TP...I first
spoke to my Publix manager about the early letting of folks...folks
not even regular customers...being allowed to buy up all the TP in
bulk. And her reaction was a bit surprising for she basically begged
me to complain to corporate as they are not listening to the local
managers complaints about this and that said action is not only
hurting Publix reputation but that its driving regular loyal
customers away. And know I did file such a complaint later that very
same day.
And as for Winn-Dixie, there's a reason
many of their stores are closing as they truly don't give a damn
about customer service as this is what happened when I went into the
store for but one 4-pack of TP. The store was packed with folks
pushing each other out of the way for not only toilet paper but
anything paper goods related, and the only checkout line open had to
consist of a least 80 to 100 people. Notice I said line not lines for
that sole line open was an unmanned self checkout line that wasn't
working very well, thus causing the line to grow longer by the minute
along with it barely moving.
Now at this point I got tired of
looking at empty shelves and being pushed around by TP crazies, so I
went to the customer service counter and demanded what they kept
blasting over the loud speaker...that all shoppers were entitled to
two packs of toilet paper. I guess I stated my demand with the
now required force needed for low and behold the manager walked out with
my allotted toilet paper packs as well as some rolls for the people
who had now joined me at the counter. At this point a gentleman
stated why isn't anyone working the registers and why was only the
self-check register open, and the managers response was not an answer
but a blank clueless stare. However, a few minutes later one
register...one out of 20 registers...was open along with an ensuing
mad dash by the now grown in number to well over 100 shoppers for it.
Thankfully, the gentleman and I were taken first as we were not only
the next in line but that we were troublemakers demanding that those
lazy employees get to work. Like I stated earlier, no wonder so many
Winn-Dixie stores are closing here in Florida...they cannot compete
with Publix customer service reputation, satisfaction wise.
Anyway, I got my alotted two weeks worth of
toilet paper and can now say I survived “The Great Toilet Paper
Rush of 2020.” But the sad reality is that I'll probably have
to turn the other “cheek”
(pun intended) and do it all over again in a few weeks time, that is
unless the media stops blowing everything out of proportion
coronavirus wise, and until the public accepts as fact that the
coronavirus now going around is not a true pandemic like the Spanish
Flu of 1918 was...a flu that saw 500 million people being infected
with upward of 50 million deaths. And the sooner the media as well as
the politicians realize the numbers needed for something to be a true
pandemic...to be a true call to panic...the better off we, the
American people, will be.
But until that time comes, if
it ever does, I guess the smart thing to do is call my stockbroker and
tell him to buy me some Kimberly-Clark stock.
