Let's skip all the niceties and cut to
the chase...2020 was a horrendous year...politically, economically,
and of course health wise...none of which, contrary to what the
Democrats and media say, was President Trump's fault.
Remember, 2020 was initially ushered in
on a positive note thanks to our president's economic and foreign
policy initiatives...economic policies that saw job numbers
increasing at a rate unseen in many years coupled with both increased
consumer spending and stock market numbers hitting record highs,
along with new Middle East alliances and friendships slowly and
quietly being forged behind the scenes. But the Trump (rightfully)
ordered January 3rd airstrike that killed Iran's Quds Force Gen.
Qassem Soleimani, drew harsh criticism from the traitorous left,
setting into motion an emotional negative tone that was to follow
throughout the year.
And emotions spiked early when on
January 9th the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that a new
and deadly coronavirus had emerged in Wuhan, China, and was spreading
outwards from there. And on January 16th partisan emotions reached a
crescendo when House impeachment managers read aloud two “articles
of impeachment” against
President Trump, both articles relating to his supposedly asking
Ukraine to investigate former VP Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
And while at the requisite Senate trial our president was
rightfully acquitted, the anger the Democrats felt over Trump's
acquittal was witnessed by all when on Tuesday, February 4th House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on camera, ripped up the official Congressional
copy of President Trump's State of the Union address.
And so the political war that started
with Hillary's loss in 2016 continued on, and by the end of February
we saw the Democrats newest weapon of choice being the oh so politically
incorrectly stated virus from China. Now seeing it as their best chance of
succeeding in doing what the impeachment hearings failed to do...as
in ousting our sitting president from office...the Democrats were
willing to wait until the November election if need be. And their
chosen “general” to lead the charge was their partisan
shill Dr. Anthony Fauci who, in late February, told both President
Trump and the American people that “at this moment, there is no
need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis,”
and that masks were not necessary to prevent the spread of the
Chinese initiated coronavirus now named COVID-19.
So while President Trump did fight
back against the Chinese viral invader by fast-tracking at “Warp
Speed” the creation of a COVID vaccine, said vaccine did not
become available until after the 2020 election thus allowing the
political damage the Democrats intended to come to
fruition...more on that at year's end.
And in March WHO officially
declared the virus from China to be a global pandemic with our
president being forced...thanks to Dr. Fauci's constant informational
flip-flops and his underlying political agenda...to shut down the
U.S. economy and issue “stay at home” orders.
Also, March
2020 will forever be known as the month we witnessed toilet paper
being the most coveted item of the year, as well as being the month
when “We the People” were told to start masking-up and
start social distancing...with the much needed call for “herd
immunity” only being spoken of by but a few of we independent
bloggers. And lest we forget, March was also the month when the virus
set off a global recession as countries worldwide went into lock down
mode, and where on March 9th the Dow Jones dropped a record-breaking
2,013.76 points and where oil prices crashed by 30%.
Now with April coming in as anything
but a lamb, what with new health guidelines foolishly
“recommending” we wear masks even at home, folks were getting
antsy about still being cooped up and unable to work, while
sadly witnessing many “Mom and Pop” businesses
starting to close. And those in Michigan were the first to take to
the streets to release their pent-up anger and frustration that so many of
us had also been feeling...by protesting their governor's “stay
at home” orders. And while by mid-April, President Trump
recommended that states, in stages, start reopening their
economies... economies that should never have been shut down in the
first place...the words "Let us work" became
the protesters battle cry after Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
(D) extended Michigan's lock down order through the end of April and into
May.
And while May seemed like it would be
just one more COVID dominated month, on May 25th that all changed as
violent protests turned into riots first in Minneapolis spreading
outward from there after the killing and media anointed sainthood of
convicted felon George Floyd. And while the mode of Mr. Floyd's death
did appear horrific what with a white officer's knee being pressed on
Floyd's black neck, the Minneapolis ME's autopsy report proved what
appeared on the surface was not the actual cause of the man's
death...it appears his own drug addiction and underlying, unattended to health
conditions were. “I can't breathe” now became BLM's and
other malcontents battle cry along with unproven claims of both
“systemic racism” and “police brutality”
against blacks poisoning the minds of way too many folks, with those
lies being passed off as truth to this very day. And while “Black
Lives Matter” became May's slogan of the month, what was and
still is being ignored by the BLM sorts is that white, brown, yellow,
red, and those wearing blue see their lives mattering too.
And in June we saw our president stating
that he would deploy the military...as in the National Guard...if
local officials did not put a stop to the anything but peaceful Antifa
and BLM protesters who were the root cause of all the violence, looting,
arson, and mayhem done in George Floyd's name. And with President Trump being
called the “president of law and order,” it came as no
surprise that the mayors and governors of these Democrat controlled
cities and states refused our president's help, choosing instead to
relish in the political messages being sent and the damages being
done, after all it helped perpetrate their socialist and anti-police
agendas.
Also in June, we kept our fingers
crossed that the Chinese virus would start burning itself out what
with warm weather taking hold nationwide. And while the virus did
level off to some degree, it returned with a vengeance come fall. And
dare we forget that in June, “Basement” Joe Biden became
the Democrats choice for president and that hundreds of protesters
led by Antifa took over several blocks of downtown Seattle and
transformed it into the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or
“Chaz” as it was more commonly known...while foolishly
thinking they had successfully seceded from the union.
So now we're halfway through this
horrific year, and while things did start politically going from bad
to worse, in July we did witness a modicum of normalcy...sort
off...what with Major League Baseball returning albeit with
socially-distancing cardboard cut-outs of fans scattered randomly throughout
the bleachers shouting canned hoots and hollers that were laughable
at best. And in early July we were actually diverted away from the
24/7 COVID news cycle for a bit what with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey
Epstein’s infamous madame and cohort, being arrested on July 2 on
sex-trafficking charges. Gotta wonder if Billy-Boy Clinton got then
and remains now a wee bit nervous with that one...just saying.
And then in August the upcoming
election rhetoric really starting heating up when on August 11th
“Basement” Joe announced, to much fanfare, his selection
of a running mate. And his pick was the woman who slept her way into
the political arena, as in California Senator Kamala Harris, a fraud,
liar, and avowed socialist. Chosen solely because of her gender and
supposed race (contrary to the Democrat's bloviations Harris is not
an African-American women as Biden had promised would be his pick,
but is a woman of mixed Negroid, Caucasian, and Asian race), but what
we best get used to is the fact that Kamala Harris will in short time
become Obama's defacto third term in office. And if that doesn't
scare you, I don't know what will.
Also in August the Chinese virus
infection and death count numbers slowly started to tick up again,
while wildfires raged in California killing man and animals alike,
eventually changing the landscape of a once lush state into but a
smoldering shadow of its former self. Then on August 24th all hell
broke loose yet again with protesters in Louisiana and Wisconsin
violently taking to the streets after police (in the line of duty)
shot and killed two black men. And over the next few days violence
committed against the police spread nationwide culminating on August
29th with protesters setting fire to the Portland, Oregon police
union building just as the city was entering its third straight month
of increasingly violent protests...protests egged on by BLM, Antifa, and the
media of course.
But August also saw one of two true
positives of this most horrendous of years when on August 13th
President Trump announced the signing of the “Abraham
Accords,” a peace deal
his administration helped broker between the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) and the Jewish State of Israel. And such an
accomplishment it was that on September 11th, Bahrain joined in on
the deal with Sudan signing on in October, and Morocco doing the same
in December. And while Saudi Arabia cannot be far behind what with
the Saudis now giving Israel permission to fly over their air space,
these beginnings of a lasting peace in the ever volatile Middle East
were either ignored or given a cursory mention at best by the media
who will never herald any of Trump's successes.
And then came September, the month
where the Chinese virus really started renewing its assault on the U.S. And on September 18th, 87-year old SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsberg passed away assuring that President Trump would get to
nominate yet another conservative to the Supreme Court, thus turning the
High Court decidedly to the right for decades to come. And in September
we also witnessed the first Presidential debate taking place... a debate chock full
of heated interruptions, interjections, and fiery accusations, along with
moderator Chris Wallace obviously being in "the bag" for Joe Biden. And
so “the steal” began in earnest.
And the ever busy month of October
started to take shape early on when on the 2nd, President Trump
announced that both he and Melania tested positive for COVID-19.
Hospitalized for three days at Walter Reed Medical Center before
continuing his recovery at the White House, our president made a
swift and full recovery after being treated with remdesivir and the
steroid dexamethasone, thus bringing focus back onto increasing COVID
numbers and the desperate need for a vaccine...a vaccine he had
promised would be available by the end of the year.
October also saw, very much to the Democrats
chagrin, the confirmation of constitutionalist Amy Comey Barrett to
the Supreme Court as well as early voting beginning in record numbers,
which immediately and rightfully raised suspicions. And then on
October 14th, a New York Post
article about Hunter Biden's seemingly forgotten to be picked up laptop hit the
newsstands exposing information not only about now former VP Joe Biden
withholding loan guarantees to Ukraine...blackmail of sorts done to quell
a corruption investigation into both Burisma and Hunter himself...as
well as exposing Hunter and “the big guy's”...as in daddy
Joe's...dirty dealings with communist China amongst others. And what
did the media do with said story but either bury it in the political
muck or simply deem it a Trump initiated smear campaign, after all
they had to protect their newest anointed one before the upcoming
election.
Finally, November came and what we
feared most came to fruition when on Tuesday, November 3rd we bore witness
to an election rigged straight from the bowels of hell with President
Trump being defeated by Joe Biden. And this defeat was courtesy of Democrat manufactured and tampered with mail-in ballots...most of
which were delivered in the dead of night when poll watchers were no
longer present...and with Dominion's corrupted vote tabulating
machines actually changing Trump votes to those for Joe Biden. But
worst of all was the fact that not only did the media have a
hand in all this, but that our nation's courts threw out...most on
procedural technicalities...legitimate cases brought before them by the Trump
campaign...and did so without even bothering to see the proof in
hand....proof that clearly showed more Democrat votes were cast than
there were registered voters. Can you say voter fraud...I sure can.
And lastly we come to December with our president's cases regarding election/voter fraud being slapped down not just by the Supreme Court but even by some in his own Republican party...cowardly sorts who simply have no backbone for a fight...a fight not just to set a stolen election right, but a fight to garner the rightful monetary help "We the People" so need in this the year a nasty little virus from China turned our country upside down. And while the year did close on a second positive note, this regarding the promised vaccine that thanks to Presient Trump was developed and approved in less than a years time and is starting to be delivered, we must not forget that this virus won't be the last of its kind, in fact it's already morphed into a more transmittable variation of its former self.
So now as the New Year begins we'll witness the fight for our country's very survival as formal certifying (or not certifying) of the electoral vote will take place on January 6th. And while the chances appear slim that this fraudulent election will be overturned...mostly I think because cowardly politicians fear the "element" will behave badly again...I've learned never to underestimate President Donald J. Trump for if anyone can pull the proverbial political rabbit out of a hat our president is just the man to do it.

Op-ed:
The Great Toilet Paper Rush of 2020
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /
Right Side Patriots
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.
