Corporations Invite The Fox Into the Hen House

The title of the Wall Street Journal article reads: Firms Seek Government Mask Mandate.  It seems that some companies are asking their state governments to do what California's Gavin Newsom and Washington's (sleepy) Jay Inslee have done-issue statewide requirements that all persons wear face coverings when outside their homes.  The Journal says: Rules vary by …

They’ve Got Us Right Where They Want Us (with thanks to a Ricochet friend for the idea)

Isolated from friends and family. Schools closed, so our children cannot see or play with their friends; in fact, being taught to fear their friends. Churches closed. Movie theaters, retail shops, bars and restaurants closed (these are all the places where we socialize together). Stuck at home. Working from home, distant from colleagues and supervisors …

There is no hope for Seattle. More confirmation, June 16.

The City of Seattle is lost.  The City is no longer controlled by its elected officials, no matter how Left and Socialist they are.  The City government, and many private businesses surrendered to Antifa and the Black Lives Matter terror groups [I define them both as terror groups due to their methods, including arson, looting, …

Are you ready for the “socially-distant” future?

This afternoon, I was reading my Wall Street Journal from a few days ago (I still take the old-fashioned print edition, and I am always behind), and I noticed more than one article that, taken together, got me to thinking some very uncomfortable thoughts. I have read more than one article describing the "new office", …

These are not protests and protesters anymore in Seattle

These are Armed Domestic Terrorists, allowed by the city government to control a portion of the city.  They set up barricades, stop residents and business owners from going by, and threaten them.

Please, spare me the sanctimony.

White self-abasement, begging the Racial Justice Warriors not to come after Them. From the management at Best Buy: We are, I believe, in one of the toughest times in our country's history, as we continue to battle a deadly pandemic and the resulting economic havoc while, once again, coming face-to-face with the long-term effects of …
