The Devastating…and Continuing…Curse of COVID

The human cost of the COVID scourge is a historical tragedy that will leave emotional scars on people for generations to come.  For many, it will always represent the depths of despair and agony through unexpected loss.  But the collateral cost of COVID…perhaps less significant in personal terms but more significant in cultural and social terms…is the simple fact that COVID opened the door to loonies who had theretofore been bottled up and prevented from unleashing their foolishness upon their neighbors and fellow citizens.  In a bizarre fashion, COVID empowered them.  It created an opportunity for the Ultimate Karens among us to spread their wings and fly.  COVID was not their genesis; but it was their “coming out” party.

 

Barack Hussein Obama does not like this country.  He ran for the presidency with the goal of transforming America into a nation that more resembled his ideals.  Those ideals were socially progressive, extreme, and so far beyond what our framers envisioned in the Constitution that he and his Administration decided to dribble out their agenda in drips and drabs.  They were smart enough to realize that radical change of this magnitude had to be strategically employed.  Thank goodness those eight years was an insufficient amount of time for him to fulfill his dream. Their plan was for Hillary Clinton to continue down the ultra-liberal yellow brick road and complete the changeover.  Donald Trump threw a wrench in those gears.

 

President Trump in his first term clearly planned to unwind the damage wrought by Obama and his minions.  But the first part of his term was handicapped by inexperience and deep state sabotage while the last part was brought to a standstill by COVID.  I have no doubt that had COVID not arrived in America when it did, Donald Trump would have won a landslide victory in his quest for a second term.  Unfortunately, the epidemic provided cover for Joe Biden to run a stealth campaign for president and for the Democrat Party to pull all manner of election irregularities.  The rest is history. 

 

Post-election, Biden and his ilk threw all caution to the wind and picked up where Obama left off…only in hyper drive.  Where Obama dug the hole with a spade, Biden dug the hole with a mega backhoe shovel.  The obsession with COVID’s deadly potential created acquiescence from the public that permitted Biden’s power-hungry disciples to get off to a running start.  In multiple ways, COVID provided the impetus and the opportunity for progressive activists in the Democrat Party to seize power and control without too much scrutiny.  Under the guise of “the public good”, liberals who had burrowed into the deep state of the Trump Administration begin to broaden their reach and autonomy.  They expanded the autocracy of the Executive Branch to levels not seen before and did it without shame, apology, or hesitation.  Their boldness was mimicked by liberal progressives at various levels all the way down through our culture.  As far as they were concerned…their time had come. 

 

The rush that was experienced by this bunch of greedy bureaucrats was exhilarating for them and without any significant pushback to question their motives, their science, or their reasoning…they ran hog wild.  The American citizenry became little more than sheep and the WDC wolves were more than willing to play Lords of the Manor.  What then transpired were some of the darkest days in our nation’s history. We can only imagine the apocalyptic meteor we dodged when Trump defeated Harris for the presidency. 

 

These “navel-gazing COVID Nannies” flourished during Biden’s four years as president and many of them still remain with us today.  The electoral defeats of the Democrats and Harris in 2024 did not cleanse our nation of this pestilence; they persevere.  They occupy all levels of societal position in our country from high-ranking government offices to neighborhood HOA Napoleons.  They control corporate boardrooms and school boards.  They dominate academia, media, and advertising venues.  They have strengthened their strongholds in urban centers across the country and are firmly entrenched behind their state and municipal autonomies. They have become part and parcel of our government’s intelligentsia.  This is the cancerous malady that President Trump, his Administration, and the Republicans in Congress are trying to seek out and destroy. 

 

The battle is being waged from the streets of Washington, DC all the way down to the streets of your hometowns and the rural roadways in your countryside.  Even though Trump and his allies are winning a lot, they are not winning all the time.  There is so much to do and so little time to do it.  And if the mid-terms do not sustain Republican control of Congress, the effort to right the American ship of state might very well be aborted far short of its completion.  The remnants of the COVID Curse are still alive and scattered throughout our nation.  If we are to return our country to a constitutional standing with worthy values and morals, it is essential that these remnants be removed…by the roots.

 

The deaths of Charlie Kirk and the young Ukrainian immigrant on the train are horrific indictments on what we have become as a culture and a society.  Upon reflection, the best comment I can offer is from the scriptures… “Jesus wept”.  Both of these individuals, one well-known and the other anonymous, were robbed of their precious lives and futures in a meaningless fashion that defies logic or understanding.  Kirk was a rising conservative force filling a niche that had been abandoned by his Party.  He was a unique and invaluable asset for his cause that will not be easily replaced.  Iryna Zarutska’s life represented the promises held forth by America and all the possibilities contained therein.  How fragile her hopes and dreams proved to be.  Both deaths are such tragedies. We should all…every one of us…be very careful how we deify or demonize those who are taken from us far too soon.

Academia in America is corrupted to its very core and must be exposed, held accountable for the harm it has wrought, and be transformed into something that better resembles what its true functions should be.

Is it time for America to abandon this organization whose fundamental purpose has been distorted and perverted?  At the very least, perhaps its headquarters should be moved to a European country more consistent with its philosophical tilt…

I fully realize that foreign policy and affairs are games of three-dimensional chess and very few people possess sufficient facts to approach them intelligently; I certainly do not.  But sometimes you just have to wonder…what the hell are they doing?

Liberal progressives have a mindset that demeans all those who do not buy into their dogma; they look down on them as inferior beings that are in desperate need of someone to run their lives.  They are so very willing to volunteer for that task…
