  3. Local leaders don't want to slow the violence in KC. Everyone has seen that and the proof is there. Jean peters Baker let everyone out of jail doesn't prosecute anyone, judges give mild sentences and the mayor and Chief of police praise them by kneeling to them.
    The head of fiances for BLM is Susan Rosenberg who was on the FBI most wanted and also received a 58 year prison sentence for bombing around our country before Bill Clinton commuted her sentence at 16 years. she is a known communist. So this is where your city and chief of police stand. I think it's safe to say they don't want to slow the violence down they want to increase it.

  8. Only two possible options with the mask. 1) covid is a miasma with a termination radius of 6'. It exists at all times in an infected person whether they display symptoms or not. It travels around the infected person whether or not they expel fluid. In this case, an N95 mask is completely ineffective, the filtration size is 10 times the size of the covid virus. Wearing a mask does nothing at all.

    In the case that a mask prevents the spread of covid from mucus expulsion from an infected person, which it does, then covid is not a miasma and simply breathing does not transmit the virus, infected or not. In this case all people not actively displaying symptoms, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, would not need to wear a mask. Additionally, this also means non infected people well outside of a mortality group do not need to wear a mask. This is the best case.

    Either way, it's a foregone conclusion that covid will spread throughout the nation (herd). Everybody will get it, and every body will suffer the consequences or become immune. Herd immunity. The initial mask requirement was to slow the spread, not somehow terminate transmission, magically. It transformed to that as part of the mass media fear campaign.


    The mask either is for someone who is in a high risk category, or someone who is actively sick, no one else. Unless it is a symbol of a particular ideology or group thought.

  9. ^^^It's long been known that the mask is not infallible but will slow the transmission. It's also not to keep you from getting the virus but to keep others from getting it.

    Maybe you'll get it, and maybe you'll be one of the 3-4% that end up dying from it?

    I mean, please, tell us your source for all this stuff you just posted.

    Biden won't have a chance to destroy the suburbs. The Trump virus pandemic, his American carnage of rising crime and race riots, widespread small business and retail bankruptcies, and his 21% unemployment rate have already done that job.

    War on the suburbs? The war is over. It's lost. Trump dropped the big one.
