Recap




Over the past few years my life has been modified to reflect the natural order of things.



Congressional Democrats and one Senate Republican were desperately trying to impeach President Donald Trump because, well, just because.  Twenty-four hour news about this half-baked effort further split America politically because a presidential election is due in November.



Amid all this, I awoke one January morning and learned my flu shot was no defense against something called Coronavirus disease 19.  All I needed to do to prevent from getting this disease was wash my hands for 20-seconds.



That was until varying state governors and federal doctors and scientists claimed their newly-enacted emergency laws required everyone wear a mask lest we would contract this flu and die.



We were not allowed outside to bike, walk, swim, picnic, paint, perform yard duties, wash the car, or any other exercise that might – MIGHT – spread this underplayed flu to others.



Soon, neighbors were turning neighbors in to the police for sweeping their sidewalk; police were threatening others for planting garden seeds, while grocery stores remained open for business.



Whilst this was occurring, politicians across the country demanded we be remanded to what I call “house-arrest.”  We were ordered to remain indoors, segregated from society, while local jurisdictions released criminals from their jails.  It is still unclear as to who was supposed to be protected by these inane orders.



Nonetheless, we obeyed and avoided gyms, doctor’s offices, and general socializations. 



To stem the tide of spreading this flu America intentionally put the brakes on our incredible economy.  Stores, businesses, and generally non-essential enterprises were ordered to shut down.  This was designed to keep people home to prevent transmission of the Coronavirus.



Mortgages were quickly becoming delinquent, cars were on the verge of being repossessed, and credit cards were being maxxed-out, as schools were being closed and all students given reprieves from dreaded final exams.



Restaurants remained closed to protect the adults in America.  Those are the same adults that are supposed to use “common sense” to select our leaders through elections.  Too bad our incumbent politicians think we’re too stupid to decide if, when, and where we can leave our homes to simply exercise.  I’m just saying…



Meanwhile, sporting events were put on hold, including golf, football, basketball, soccer, fishing, horseracing, auto racing, and competitive gardening (more on that in the future,) wound up in suspended animation.



Keeping schools closed also means no college sports, either.



But street thugs and anarchists hijacked protests of a bad white cop killing a black counterfeiter.  Protests quickly turned violent with stores and restaurants becoming victims of arson.  Looting clothes and HDTVs became fashionable while police vehicles were damaged, all in the name of “peace and justice.”



Suddenly, those critical medical masks from paragraph four weren’t so critical because the thugs and malcontents wreaking havoc on society were now in charge.



Local mayors and involved governors decided this mayhem was acceptable and let the miscreants ‘do their thing’ all the while threatening the law-abiding among us with jail time for flouting the important mask orders.



Since this all began, professional sports have discovered ways to permanently chase fans and patrons away, wholesale.



Throughout all this, Congresspeople and Senators have been criticizing President Trump for his attempt to restore a sense of normalcy to our country.  Their words of encouragement are directed at society’s hooligans as they are now cheering the removal of statues.

Yes, statues have become more dangerous to society than killing babies.  Historic works, some of which are over a century old, are being destroyed in the vein of eliminating societal discomfort and overcoming “systemic racism.”  Speaker Nancy Pelosi is active in this effort.



Life is beginning to settle down as restaurants are now reopening, and looters and arsonists seem to be running out of matches.  And the populace is once again beginning to smile about their lives.



As an effort to help, Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff have announced their desire to get back to their impeachment efforts of the President.



Atta way, boys and girls!  You just demonstrated how much you abhor America and Americans.
