Is Everybody Okay?

Not sure how they think a lockdown will be enforced if there are no cops to arrest people for everyday behavior As I said, the cabal is desperate. For once, they might not have thought this through...

For ONCE????

Casinos are back open in Nevada but my daughter isn’t allowed to play sports. This should be entitled things dumb politicians do

Gotta keep lining their pockets with money. That's what it's all about.

Between the bootlickers and the snowflakes, it's a sorry state of affairs.

Nice to see you watching Tim Pool, 316 .

Tim Pool's been my dude for years

I actually thought about kneeling before a black person the next time I'm in Wal Mart, taking off my belt and begging to be whipped with it for being white, right in front of everybody. Then I realized how stupid that was and how easily it could backfire.

Hmm, Tim Pool? YouTube or podcast?

Youtube *and* podcast, I believe. Dude tells it like it is as well as anybody right now.

That could, quite literally, get you killed.

But if you really want to get a good whipping, ask a white person to do it. They're better at it and understand just where to hit you so that you'll learn for the next time you want to try some shit.

Here's the funny thing. When I did go to Wal Mart and around town Saturday, I saw several blacks and shockingly, none of them attacked me or called for my death. People around here are like "yeah, whatever" to all this stuff and just going about their lives as usual.

Give me small towns over big cities any day. Also, the south may literally be the most desirable place to live in America and maybe even the world right now. Rednecks, my ass

Well that's a good thing then. I live in a very white, red, small-ish town in Northern California, and we've had nearly zero issues here. Still, it's hard to ignore everything that's going on because I'm a human. No lizard DNA here, no sir .

now this is an interesting comment. in a recent interview about the current protests and the relevance of Kaepernick's kneeling, Seahawk RB Carlos Hyde said...

"I understand the message he was putting out. I understood because I came from Cincinnati, Ohio. Lincoln Heights in Cincinnati, it's not the best area, and I would see that -- police brutality, pretty much everybody in the neighborhood is struggling, you see violence, drugs, all that. There's just no opportunity there."

Hyde moved to Naples, Florida, to live with his grandmother when he was 14.

"So I was able to get away from all that and pretty much start my life over," he said.

imagine that, moving south from Ohio to Florida to escape racism. now that's not a narrative the media would like you to hear.

The south constantly gets portrayed as an area full of dumb whites who live in trailer parks and have just half their teeth, who ride around in pickup trucks painted with the Confederate flag with a rifle rack in the back window. It's portrayed this way because those pesky southern states are almost always voting Republican and just won't let the so-called 'progressives" take over. Don't they know how ignorant and toxic they are?

Trust me, it's nowhere near like that, and I live in a place that was actually voted on an internet poll as the most redneck town in Tennessee. I'd much rather live here than a big "progressive" city in a Democrat state where the mayors and governors seem to be in some sort of competition to see who can take away the most constitutional rights while simultaneously cheering on rioters. But if you're a law abiding citizen, don't you dare think that just because these people are rioting with the government's blessing that you can open your business or go to church, no sir. You'll get arrested by the same cops that these same Democrats are literally trying to completely eliminate forever.

Compared to a Democrat state, North Korea looks good. But 'round these here parts people have common sense. No riots going on here (well, except Memphis and that's not much different from a normal day there anyway). Plus, the sun kills the virus and there's plenty of that now that we've hit mid-year.

Seriously, if not for the diehard mask-wearers (who don't even have to, I never wear a mask when I go out) you'd think this was somehow a different world entirely.

(BTW I started off my formative years in a school with a black principal. In late '70s Mississippi. Again, don't let the racist stereotype fool you. I even had a black babysitter in my before school years.)

It's not as simple as moving from north to south though in that example.

He moved from Cincinnati to Naples.

That's like saying, I moved from Miami to Redding, California and saw so much less bullshit myself, which is true.

As far as Democratic states, who cares? All states suck. We're all taxed too much for little to no benefit. Infrastructure sucks everywhere. Our standard of living has dropped all over. It's much better for us that live in smaller communities to be sure, and I'll never live in another big city ever. They're horrible places to live in.

Degarmo, are you up in Redding? I go up there periodically to the Big League Field of Dreams!

I am up in Redding .  It's a nice "small town".  I mean, it's not a tiny town, I think 89K, but it's far smaller than I'm used to, and I love it here.  Big League Field of Dreams is a great place. Do you head up here for softball tourneys for your daughter?

Yep! It’s been 2 years since we were there. Time flys. Softball is just starting to pick back up. The Covid thing has most of the fields closed.
