Quite a while back on some comment thread I referred or them as ā€˜face burqas’ and was immediately called a racist.
I, too, was disappointed in the wimpy no gloating attitude of the GOPe GWHB administration. So typical.

Who’s not happy about that?

Those to whom it gave an enemy to fight with moral indignation, and the continuous crack-pipe hit of dopamine it bathed them in.

Bill, I have to answer your question: Who’s not happy about the end of the pandemic and mask wearing? Dr. Fauci, the Vaccine salesman! (or should I call him, Dr. Fakie)

I am gobsmacked at the number of people, despite the governor lifting the mask mandate over two weeks ago, still walking around, inside and out, alone in their cars, with masks on. Too many of them are young adults. Whatever happened to the natural rebelliousness of youth?

When the governor (unlawfully) reinstated the mask mandate a few months ago, it quickly became apparent that it was mostly not being enforced. The stores all had the obligatory “masks required” signs on the doors, but once inside (with a few exceptions) nobody said anything. After a two or three days of complying, I stopped, and decided I was going to make them tell me to put one on.

I’ve been flummoxed by this, too. Mostly school and college-age kids wearing masks, along with some doddering old people (who may really benefit from them, though I’m doubtful). Maybe, now that many adults have decided to join reality, the kids are being rebellious. You know, playing the Opposite Game? Yeah, I really don’t think so. They stew in Marxism day in and day out – they can’t help but be dutiful little go-alongs with their peers.

Amen regarding the lack of a Cold War victory parade. Being USN retired, I had long hoped for official authorization of the “Cold War Victory” Medal. I finally concluded that our deep state stable of Fifth Columnist Trojan Horses refused to ever authorize it out of sour grapes that THEIR SIDE LOST.

Since the coup of 11/4/2020, I’ve reconsidered that the real reason our Trojan Horses refused is they knew the war wasn’t really over. The 2020 “election” was the most starkly brazen, in your face, “rub your nose in it” election heist in America’s history. I now regard THAT as the “victory parade” for the forces of evil whose machinations require America’s absence to “succeed” in the ULTIMATE Pyrrhic victory.

I’m more concerned with the effect on kids caused by all the brainwashing of the effect of the mask. We have a generation of children, heads full of mush, and we’ve allowed our leftist media to convince us and brainwash our kids that just the fact they had to wear masks by government dictate will have a negative emotional effect on them for the rest of their lives.
The lifelong effect of medial bovine scat will do more harm than the mask itself. We’ve allowed their childhood to be stole from them. How do you correct that? How do you make that up to them?

I know this “freedom from joy’ thing all too well.

I had an aunt who was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. That’s a Calvinist denomination, the same one responsible for Apartheid in South Africa for well over a century.

She had some funny attitudes about joy. I remember hoeing beans at my grandfather’s farm when I was a kid. One of the other kids would break out in a song, something silly and light like “Tarara Boomdeay“, “Sweet Betsy from Pike” or “Pop Goes the Weasel” … Something innocuous and acceptable we’d learned in school music class.

My aunt would turn purple and start yelling at us to “get back to work” even though we were working every bit as hard or maybe even harder while we sang. God forbid you should (gasp!) do anything like a little dance while you sang and worked too.

For her, work was drudgery that had to be endured and absolutely never something to be enjoyed in any way. There was no such thing as enjoyment in any sort of toil. It didn’t matter if it was hoeing beans, handling cattle on horseback, doing laundry or cleaning house/barn etc. To her, toil was the penance that had to be done for Original Sin.

When God cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and said “By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.ā€ … To her that meant that you shall not experience any joy at all in work.

Her religion not only encompassed “freedom from joy” but pretty much any sort of freedom at all. She was so strict that when visiting their house I could get my mouth washed out with soap for using the expression “darn it!” Because that’s just a substitute for and exactly the same thing as saying “damn it!”

Speaking to her as an adult years later she regretted that foolishness. She regretted imposing that foolishness on her family and others too.

The Left reminds me of her as she was in my childhood. To the Left, Leftist Social Marxism is a religion and you display your devotion to that religion, like my aunt, by a total lack of joy.

The supposedly “atheist” anti-theist Left has not eliminated religion, it has simply morphed religion into a destructive codification of dogmas that is the worst of any religion with none of the good intended thereby. They are as zealous as any Jihadi and now they want us all wearing their version of a burqa. They’re not as bad as my aunt, they’re far worse.

The left also worships at the altar of Climate Change. They would have us living in caves since they already think of us as knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing Neanderthals.

If you examine their dogma’s closely it’s not just Climate Change, that’s one of many anti-human-being dogmas. They’re basically haters of their own species, us, and think they’re something other than human beings which they disdain because we/they are not “woke”, are not politically correct and are nowhere near the “wonderful beings” that they believe themselves to be. This is the attitude of petty gods not real people.

Among the animal kingdom I’m not aware of any other species having this “hate your own kind” sort of attitude.

I see this all the time on hard science websites where I view content and comments. People talking about how horrible humans are as though they themselves were somehow exempt from humanity and above it all. Because, you know, they’re better than all those filthy human beings they’re bemoaning.

Bemoaning while posting comments online via a cell phone, pad, tablet or computer. Devices requiring things like Columbite-Tantalite (coltan) which largely come from slave labor, real slave labor not some imagined victims of white privilege.

Black slave labor enforced and maintained by the black masters of black child soldiers in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Slave labor and stolen, armed children dying and being maimed in combat being nowhere near as important to them as the non-existent systematic racism in the most advanced, most powerful, least biased, wealthiest nation ever to exist on Earth.

Because those real victims are not covered by dogma. You don’t get any virtue signalling brownie points by prioritizing them over a career criminal dying by his own hand of a drug overdose under a cop’s knee. How would you ever show everyone how wonderful you are without those electronic self-promoting devices?

Another symptom of this is where you see people excluding humans from nature and the natural order.

It’s OK that a shark’s nature is to eat seals, that’s what sharks do. But human beings eating meat of any sort is simply horrid. It’s OK that elephants stomp their enemies into pulp but it’s not OK for a human being to defend himself and his family with a firearm. It’s wonderful and beautiful the way that wolves enforce their pack hierarchy but a human demanding Rule of Law is just barbaric. Etc. Because nature and humans are two unrelated things in their minds.

It’s natural for humans to do what humans do. We are only following our nature the same as sharks or elephants. Humans are not separate from nature, we are a part of nature as much as any ant colony or pod of orcas.

The difference being that we can choose to deny our own natures for the higher purposes of humanity. No other creature does this. A hungry shark will chow down on the first baby seal it comes across. A hungry human being can decide he’s not going to steal a chicken from his neighbor but will find some other source of sustenance.

Nature is not inherently ‘noble’. Only human beings can rise to a state of nobility. That doesn’t stop the religion of the Left from hating humans anyway.

ACTS, I hope you are participating on some level with a Home / Church School family or group with teen-agers. You have so much to mentor and teach. Sorry to gush, but I read all your posts and they never fail to impress me with your erudition, insight, and ability to sum it all up on whatever subject you are expounding.

The so-called climate scientists and acolytes of today were the environmentalist whackos of the 1980’s and 90’s. I recall the anti-human rhetoric from when I was pursuing my degrees in nuclear engineering. The modern idiocy is nothing new. Religious zealotry, in any form, is too often detrimental to humanity.

Yes, I remember the whackos of the previous century quite well.

Any time we see this anti-human rhetoric cropping up, this separation of some people from the actual species they belong to … We should take that as a sign of sickness. Because it is sick and I point that out to the practitioners of anti-humanity every chance I get.

Rarely do they ever have anything to say in their own defense. I think this is because they’ve gone so deep down that rabbit hole they don’t even realize they’re doing it anymore. They’re just following the herd and it’s a bit scary that there’s a substantial herd of that sort to follow.

For instance, in the example I gave above about coltan I wasn’t saying that people should not use computers, pads, tablets and phones because they contain components that are obtained by the sheerest of human misery. That’s not the solution anyway. The solution is to end the misery and mine that stuff in a responsible fashion. But that’s not my point at all.

It’s not even about the gross hypocrisy involved in that sort of thing and coltan isn’t the only instance of this kind of example.

My point is that they’re worrying about the wrong thing completely. Not only worrying about the wrong thing, totally ignorant of the right things. Situations, circumstances and people, real live living breathing bleeding miserable people, that would actually benefit from their concern.

In this nation where thanks to the efforts of people like Dr. Martin Luther King, my parents generation and my (our) generation … Systemic racism has virtually been eliminated in America. We already dealt with that, they’re about 40 years too late.

While on the other side of the world, in what Donald Trump rightly called shit-hole countries slaves are being worked to death and kids are turned into bullet magnets and cannon fodder.

If these people, BLM, ANTIFA, the eco-whackos, the virtue signalling virtueless Left in general, really cared and really wanted to make a difference in the lives of people who are actually suffering … There are no end of opportunities to do that on this planet.

There’s no profit to be made in that kind of thing for them. They won’t be adored at work, praised in their social clubs, fawned over in their wine bars, lauded in leftist media or showered with the accolades of their peers. Because their peers are just like them, not at all interested in actual virtue, just the appearance of virtue that brings them approval from their own in-group. It’s tribalism of the very worst sort.

The Left doesn’t want to put forth real effort to change anything. In their minds, it’s enough to show they “care” through hand-wringing, pearl-clutching and “standing up for ___” . Is it any wonder the words “gauche” and “sinister” are associated with the left side?

Exactly and the most effective countermeasure is to laugh at their crocodile tears and phony virtue.

They’re so convinced of their own virtuousness that the best way to cut the legs from under their position is to mock them for what they really are. Phony virtue cannot tolerate effective mockery, it is destroyed thereby.

Real virtue, actually caring about things for real instead of pretending to care about the wrong things, is immune to mockery. There’s no way that someone who says “they care” can say that real slavery and real abuse of children is unimportant and irrelevant.

Yes, and “gauche” is French for left, as in the Rive Gauche (or Left Bank). Of course, in English gauche means awkward, crude, tactless. Very apropos isn’t it?

A friend describes people like your aunt, and I will apply it to the Covidiots, as being “under the yoke”. In ancient culture, the word yoke was a term that was used to describe submission. So when someone was described as being yoked to someone or something, it was communicating the idea that he or she was in submission to that person or thing. Your Aunt was under the yoke of her religion, as are the Covidiots.

I have seen the video posted in numerous places of the kids reaction to being told they no longer have to wear masks, and I have to admit that it seems a little staged to me. Like, the teacher said, “ok kids, I’m going to make a movie of you being told you don’t have to wear masks anymore. Give it all you got to show how you feel about that”. Before she made the announcement, some of the kids weren’t wearing masks, and while most of the kids were enthusiastically showing their glee, one little guy in the front, who wasn’t wearing a mask before the announcement, had his head face down on his desk.

Personally, I take the position that muzzling and isolating the kids throughout this shamdemic is tantamount to child abuse, but I also think that the kids probably haven’t taken the mask wearing nearly as hard as we adults who recognize it for what it is. My progressive son and daughter-in-law have been dutifully compliant with all the mandates, but they haven’t been excessively rigid about it. My grands wear the masks like it’s no big deal, no fussing or fearing. I think this is because their parents have made a point of ignoring the propaganda (even though they don’t see it that way) as much as possible around the kids. They don’t have t.v., so that isn’t an access point either. They’ve stayed engaged in group activities, though masked, and they haven’t refused to be around me because I don’t wear a mask and haven’t gotten vaccinated. We each know where the other stands on the subject so we just don’t discuss it. I did tell my son that I hoped he wouldn’t have the kids vaccinated – that it wasn’t necessary for their health, and might hurt it, and it wouldn’t protect anyone else. I hope he listened and hasn’t done it, but honestly, I would rather not know.

I texted the same thing to my son…I think I was watching the Candace Owens interview with Dr.Malone and had heard about a Canadian kids vax mandate and just got freaked… he lives in Toronto…
Neither of my daughters here in Israel is vaxed nor my grandchildren…

Well now, a ‘lovin spoonful’ of common sense and kiddie joy.
Tangentially, yesterday, I walked into a central California deli which I frequent about once a month. The woman behind the counter greeted me by name, which I still find amazing, and remarked what joy it was to see my entire face once more. In a rare display of defiance, she whipped down her mask and smiled back…..then up went the mask again. I wonder when food servers/prep staff will be able to remove their masks in California?

I agree with other comments here that state the obvious: the kids are happy, but they are projecting excitement based upon shallow thinking. The lifting of the mask mandates should not be cause for such excitement for adults, because succumbing ignores the fact that it is nothing but political manipulation intended to elicit shallow thinking just nine months before the midterm elections. Everything is political and we should not be manipulated into a false sense that the true virus, leftist tyranny, is gone.

Amen Scott. I work in retail and not being able to show my face feels unnatural. It keeps me from interacting the way I want to. The whole reason I’m in the job I’m in is that I enjoy the heck out of interacting with people and helping them. Having that interaction blocked and hindered is actually actively stressful.

Getting past my bias that kids will run around and scream at most anything, I have to believe that the teacher might have been allowing her anti-mask feelings to be transmitted to these children.
Living in a big, Democrat-run city and being in healthcare, the thought of no masks just seems a distant pipe-dream. Getting masks off of inner city blacks, college educated women, Chinese and Korean Americans, and virtue-signaling elites (only in public) will happen well beyond any release of mandates. They chugged the KoolAid and this is their religion.

So Scott, it seems like you are just fine with the non RNA poked to continue to be demonized. Sure, you’re happy that you don’t have to wear a mask but you also just bended knee to the LEFT being just fine with the segregation of those who choose not to get the RNA jab. (Sorry, not a vaccine as it does not prevent you from contracting the disease). You’re sort of one of those Liz Cheeneys who say they are conservative but don’t really stand up for the values of freedom.

Freedom is about making choices. Scott can make any choice he likes and so can you. Or at least that’s the ideal. You’re just trying to take away choice to suit your own ideology and that’s every bit as bad as the other side of the choice issue.

I don’t care if “the non RNA poked to continue to be demonized”… That’s on those doing the demonization not a factor of personal choice.

It’s not that there’s a “vaccine” though as you point out that’s a misnomer and I agree with that. It’s the mandate of getting a forced injection that removes individual choice that’s the problem.

I don’t care if someone gets a certain injection, any injection. I don’t care if you’re vaccinated or not, or what factors went into you making that choice. That’s your business and you should choose for yourself, for your own reasons, and not be forced to get an injection you don’t want.

Neither should you be telling anyone that they shouldn’t make their own choices for their own reasons. That’s just the flip side of the same coin.

ACT, if masks were in fact innocuous, I’d agree with you. But, as Tony Heller has demonstrated in his videos, masks are Not innocuous wrt covid infections. Tony has been banned from youtube, but you can still find his vids if you search for them.
In addition, at least 20 published studies show that “wound infection rate” (standard measure of cleanliness/sterility of a surgical theater) goes Down when the doctors & nurses Don’t wear masks (that is, there is less infection when masks are not worn). The study I read, reporting on a British hospital, found that requiring surgical personnel to go maskless led to a 14% decline in wound infections. In other words, when you are around mask wearing people, you are more likely to get sick. Bottom line: Don’t wear masks.
Anyone who ever changed their car air filter can appreciate this: the outside of the used air filter is clotted with dirt. Likewise, the outside of a mask is clotted with bacteria, fungus, and any viruses that are stuck to the outer mask dirt (which is sticky because of moisture in your breath). Every time the mask-wearer coughs, sneezes, or laughs, clotted crap on the outside of the mast is blasted or jiggled off the mask, and is re-aerosolized. So anyone walking behind the masked is exposed to a bigger dose of crap than if the leader had not worn a mask in the first place.
Add to that the lack of sealing around the edge of paper and cloth masks…..the more crap in the air, the more crap will bypass the filter part of mask anyway. Regarding sealing: if you want to see what sort of sealing is necessary, visit your local fire station and ask to see what they wear when entering toxic smoke. Most likely you will see: full face coverage, multiple rubber sealing ridges, elaborate strapping to preserve mask-to-skin seal, and a sneeze release valve. None of these are present even on the N95 masks (and CDC recognized this early on, at least in internal “mask vs covid” documents).
Summary: covid masks are bad for the health of those around you.

I’ve said many times that masks are not only useless and stupid, they’re hazardous too. If you’ve been here (on BillWhittle.com) a while you’ve see me say repeatedly that wearing a mask against virus transmission is like relying a chain link fence to stop mosquitos. It’s exactly the same scale.

I’ve worked with biohazard PPE many times. Among other things I served in the Marine Corps and am highly familiar with MOPP gear, which we used to call NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) gear in my day.

In that regard you’re not telling me anything new and you’re most definitely preaching to the choir. Sorry to not be clear about that, had I been it might have saved you typing all that out.

As for it being “hazardous”, I don’t care. If someone wants to do something hazardous that’s their call. I don’t have to answer for them and I won’t be compelled to do so, nor to try to impose my will on them “for their own good”.

I do hazardous things all the time. I smoke cigars and drink fine bourbon whisky. Try to tell me I can’t do those things because they’re “hazardous” and we’re going to have a pretty good fight right directly. I smoke cigars in my home too, if someone doesn’t like that they can stay the hell out.

Liberty is the freedom to make choices, even wrong or dumb ones. It’s as much about the freedom to fail as it is the freedom to succeed. Making a call on something being hazardous then compelling, trying to compel or insisting by force that people abide by your judgement removes that freedom.

I don’t care if someone wants to wear a mask and insisting that they do not because it might remotely cause some sort of harm to me is the same thing as making them wear a mask and claiming that I have a right to demand that because if they don’t it might remotely cause some sort of harm to me. Neither is sufficiently imperative to nullify freedom to choose.

There are situations where that doesn’t apply, like drunk driving or randomly discharging firearms in unsafe directions. Masks do not rise to that level.

I don’t care if people wear masks or if they don’t. I care that I have the choice to wear one or not and reserve the right to make that choice based on my own reasons. Which are no one’s business but mine.

The same goes for Scott. It would be wrong for me to demand a choice and deny him his. I don’t care what his reasons are, they’re his business and none of mine.

Scott’s reaction to this is a bit puzzling. He seems to attribute much deeper thinking to the kids than to adults and himself. He sees himself, as an adult reacting with, “Hey, I can finally get rid of this annoying mask.” But the kids, he seems to think, are the deep thinkers here and are happier about the safety ramifications than being freed from two years of undeserved punishment. I doubt that, “Oh my goodness, we’re finally safe!” was in the mind of any of those kids.

Interesting – having interacted with young people quite a bit more recently, I find that their level of understanding is quite linear – I have to wear the mask to keep me safe from something very dangerous. I don’t have to wear the mask means the danger has passed.
Hence the exuberance.
Those young people I see still waring masks in SW VA are either those whose parents have convinced them it is very dangerous not to do so, or those who think it is Halloween all the time. The second group would not cheer no masks

I think the kids, on the other hand, are more free of a lot of the learned stupidity many adults succumb to.

Agree completely with Steve. Joy, followed by outrage. I am fortunate enough to live in a free state, but I have listened for two years as my friends in oppressed states have griped about sending their kids to school masked. It is, to me, the definition of child abuse to knowingly shut away kids for two years in order to appear more righteous. It is unforgivable.

“Your fantasy, to be locked away and still believe you’re free” – Ronald James Dio
Amen to this. We’re at Ground Zero for mask hysteria in schools here in Arlington, VA. The Branch Covidians are freaking out that our Governor is giving the kids the freedom to choose to not maskurbate. We’re seeing on local feeds and front page stroies in The Washington Compost about how kids are taking joy in being nasty toward their unmasked peers. This whole area has such a hair trigger tension in the air vibe that we are seriously considering renting out Chateau D’ Bob and moving for a year or two for things to calm down. We have a great house and neighborhood, and if it weren’t for Little Bob we would have already bailed on this swamp

I have watched this video @ 20 times, if for no other reason than the kid in gray just to the right of center doing The Floss. Puts a smile on my face every time!

I like the kid toward the front left who never had a mask on, and continues working on his computer during most of the celebration.

On a weird side note, whenever someone replies to a comment when I click on the bell in the lower left it looks like theyr replied several times. Nothing Earth shattering, but wanted to let you know.
Anybody else seeing this?

I did last week when the Bell formatting changed. Once you clear them, it should revert back.

Yes, that would have been me. Yay! Back to what I was doing before the teacher interrupted my focus.

Mine was doing that too. I I marked everything as read then cleared all my comments and it stopped. Now I just get a single notice for a single comment or reply. I think it’s a bug that carried over when the new read/unread comment notifications went into effect.
