"They don't want to be on record as making the biggest mistake in history"



US  Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) March 27, 2020




SIX POINT TWO TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF BAILOUT RUSHED THROUGH CONGRESS FRIDAY WITH SOME GOING TO THE LITTLE FOLKS BUT A LOT GOING TO THE BIG FOLKS AND THE BIG BANKS.



'WE ARE ALL SOCIALISTS NOW'

"THERE'S A BIG COVER UP IN THERE"-TWITTER VIDEO REPRESENTATIVE THOMAS MASSIE (R-KENTUCKY)




All that's been done to financially manipulate things by the Federal Reserve means us little folks are going to need more money to manage things because prices are going to go up sooner or later because the value of the money is being reduced so prices will rise to compensate for that devaluation of money through "qualitative easing" etc. etc. etc.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:  AIR BRIDGE FROM CHINA TO BRING 600 MILLION MASKS TO FRANCE






FROM BFM-TV IN FRANCE WORD THAT FRANCE IS JOINING FIVE OTHER NATIONS IN EUROPE IN PICKING UP HUGE AMOUNTS OF SUPPLIES FROM CHINA NEEDED TO FIGHT THE CORONAVIRUS



The first flight being tomorrow March 29th with others following as soon as two days later..



The last two paragraphs of the BFM-TV story translated into English via Google reads:




"A mutual aid operation (Europe) had sent 56 tons of medical supplies to China in February) which Beijing plans to transform into a rescue operation on its part.  After overcoming the health crisis,  China is now playing the card of its influence (its "soft power") by offering its aid to many countries in the world which do not have its capacities for large-scale production.   Italy, Spain, Serbia, Greece and France have thus received Chinese equipment.


An influence that Beijing intends to transform into political support.   Thus, according to the German weekly Der Spiegel, during a G 7 videoconference, France thus opposed the United States which wished in a joint press release to speak of the "Wuhan virus"preferring the most diplomatic term of "pandemic" from COVID-19.   In the end China,  helped by its European partners, won the case.   No joint declaration with the 'Wuhan virus'"

Well here we are in "FUBARLAND" courtesy of the "Clowns on the Left" the Democrats and "Jokers on the Right" the Republicans.


The notion of inflating and devaluing the currency came to us out of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" in the 1960's all that spending of the big bucks between the Democrat policies of the limited war in Vietnam and the social programs.


Then Republican Richard Nixon "opened up"  China and 50 years later look what "spilled out" to put the USA on the skids and open up the situation to China's advantage.


Nixon told the political journalist Theodore White before he entered the White House:



"we can't run the world without China"




The architect of the Nixon foreign policy Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Nelson Rockefeller adviser.


A man still with us but in his 90's.......



What about the current President?    He moves one way, then another.    Keeps hustling and trying to paint a positive picture about America getting back to business by Easter.


Like Bill Clinton's political guru James Carville said in the 1992 campaign.



"It's the economy stupid"



Its easy for patriots and conservatives to be angry with the Trump trashing of Congressman Massie.


I simply say God Bless Congressman Massie and President Trump and move forward.



I am not the HIGHER POWER with the final call on who's right or wrong here,  am  I.


The drunk in me wants to be God and I am not.

Powerful message from Bob Dylan circa 1980 talking about "your insane asylums are filled" but the judges had another idea and the mentally ill are largely living next to you and me in these crazy times circa 2020 something to remember so we can forgive their faults like those uncontrolled laughs I'm hearing around me nowadays.

Steve Taylor sang "To Forgive".   Resentment and anger fuel leading to intoxication which none of us need right now.

Alcohol and other drugs like lust out there so Melba Montgomery reminds us as I heard her sing that song on country music radio from the 1970's that a "body can't hold you tenderly and greet you with a happy smile" so watch where you eyes are going nowadays.
