Got a text yesterday that someone I work with at School’s parent’S died. That’s right BOTH of her parents died. Both were in a nursing home both were in their 80’s with other issues and died 2 days apart.
But here is my point. They both died ALONE. She could not see her parents she could not speak to them the last week of their lives and could not mourn and bury them properly. No wake no mass no anything. At the gravesite they had to stay in their cars and could not get out to say goodbye. They could not get a priest to do any prayers over their bodies. They had a person from the funeral home say a few words. It is UNIMAGINABLE how sad this is for her her children and her husband.
When this shyt is all behind us we must NOT forget who did this to us...THE FCUKING CHINESE!!
WE must press our “leaders” to impose heavy sanctions on these bastards. We must hurt them in any way we can. I for one will look to pay extra to buy only American products whenever I can. We must pressure company’s doing business in that shyt hole to bring their businesses back to America and pay a decent wage to American workers and we as consumers must be willing to pay more for our products. AND we must elect leaders like Pres. Trump that will stand up for AMERICANS first not other countries.
Now, I have heard people say recently Oh it’s the not the Chinese people its the Chinese Government. BULLSHYT!!!
Even here in the USA most of them refuse to denounce the Commie regime of their country. Most still do not like to assimilate and they think Americans are weak and stupid. We have a family on our block that we all try to include in block parties, backyard summer parties etc. They walk by us on our street and BARELY get a nod no hello and they ignore us. I am done with these complicit basTRUDS. It is because of THEM we are walking around in masks, it is because of THEM our great way of life may be permanently altered and finally is because of THEM our economy is shaken right now. We will recover because we are a great nation with allot of great people and SOME very good leaders like the PRESIDENT. Please remember folks VOTE!! Your vote most definitely counts. Elections have consequences.

As far as I'm concerned, this is right up there with Pearl Harbor.

Trump will be hampered on his dealings with China as long as Democrats have the House. What are the Democrats doing, they are going to block Trump from defunding the WHO, they are going to blame Trump for this.

I don't care about sanctions or increasing hostilities over this. All I want is to get our manufacturing back. All of it. Get those jobs back home and give American workers some pricing power when they negotiate wages.
I hope this pandemic has killed globalism.

fts, I like your rant, it’s a damn good one. I’m more in line with pj.
The Chinese need to stop being our supplier. The USA needs to manafacture what is important, for the USA.
Keep the military at its peak and strong, manufacture our own needs, bring down the debt we owe to those evil bastards plus our own debt and that will keep us healthy.

I don’t know a time when globalism didn’t reign supreme, but I love to hear of a time when we did things ourselves and took care of ourselves because we could. Walk in the woods you’ll find things in tact from 60 years ago! I’ve also noticed people are out taking care of their properties, doing home projects. If anything I hope Kung Flu brings back some self appreciation and pride.

I believe globalism began in earnest after WWII as a way to "prevent another world war"; however, it was done by the "all-knowing elites", who always seem to cause the world's conflicts |

Is it a coincidence that China wouldnt sign a trade deal with the US until Jan. 23rd? One week later, Trump closes the border to Chinese flights. Meanwhile China was buying up the world's market of PPE and letting people fly out of Wuhang without medical screening but shutting its internal borders down. There is just too much that points in the direction of an intentional release and the more pundits talk about "sources say its a natural not a altered" the more I think it is to convince (or put back to sleep) the general public in hopes to return to the old days quickly. Such a revelation that China intentionally sent a virus around the world is an act of war, but who thinks that the Chinese model of unrestricted warfare would not result in a nuclear confrontation? Remember the questions that were not asked in the beginning? The omissions? Well, now some of that is being pressed ever so gently. Trump knows the US has to tread lightly right now. |

Trump (40 second video): "I'm not happy with China".
This was apparently on April 17th:

He is part of the problem. After Trump lavished praise on him, they made Xi president for life. Trump says he is a good partner and friend. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. I think Trump will not do anything to destabilize the CCP. Better the devil you know, than the devil you dont know. Trump's biggest mistake would be believing anything the CCP has to say. |

I do think that the CCP and it's enablers will take out Xi at some point to save face. he got'em in this mess and he ain't got what it takes to get chy-na out of that mess. same thing with Putin. he is walking a very slippery tight rope these days.

My first job after getting discharged from the military was driving a cab. My company had 12 taxis which ran 24/7. It wasn't a great job, but I was able to attend college at night and pay for an apartment. We had 2 brothers working. They were hard workers who sometimes worked 7 days a week. They never had married and lived together.
I think the younger one was dependent upon his older brother. They both approved of me dating their sister. Sadly both just passed from the virus. Two good guys who would never hurt anyone.

I am about to down some vitamins, and I happen to look on the back of package. Spring Valley brand ...Centrum Multi V " Made in China" also " Made in Canada" many of our generic antibiotics also come from China and India?? I understand the economics side of all this....but I try and maintain buying ALL AMERICAN MADE products all the time. Am I nervous about these product and its effectiveness...ABSOLUTELY!!! 509, were you eluding/writing ....that the brothers were of Asian decent and being hard 7 day a week workers? If so I do agree with the fact that many Asians do come to this country and work extremely hard for a better life and to provide for their families...and have been Law abiding folks...and glad to have and know quite a few as my friends. I am very angry and still in disbelief that China and Xi would exact this type of horror. Politics and Foriegn affairs have never been my strongpoint, but I continue to learn and absorb over the years....much from TV , Internet, and reading many of the posts and attachments on this site. Our experiences with many of the Ethnic people and neighborhoods whilst interacting over the course of many years....cultivate many, many of our opinions and Rants. And LEAN...towards the TRUTH!!!
