The healing journey of a widowed, unschooling badass in Delaware.
I’ve had a surprising number of people approach me online and in person to find out about this event.
I’ve been distracted from my sons trying to promote it and find a way to attend in my busy schedule.
I’ve finally set myself on going with both my boys and a healthy group of friends who have been my backbone this year.
The rally will not be on hospital grounds. It will be respectful and focused on medical freedom for all.
If you are reading this tonight, I hope to see you tomorrow.
As many prepare for more Lockdown measures, it is important that we analyze the purpose and effectiveness of such measures.
WSJ OPINION COMMENTARY
Eradication of Covid Is a Dangerous and Expensive Fantasy
“Humanity’s unimpressive track record of deliberately eradicating contagious diseases warns us that lockdown measures, however draconian, can’t work. Thus far, the number of such diseases so eliminated stands at two—and one of these, rinderpest, affected only even-toed ungulates. The lone human infectious disease we’ve deliberately eradicated is smallpox. The bacterium responsible for the Black Death, the 14th-century outbreak of bubonic plague, is still with us, causing infections even in the U.S.”
“We live with countless hazards, each of which we could but sensibly choose not to eradicate. Automobile fatalities could be eradicated by outlawing motor vehicles. Drowning could be eradicated by outlawing swimming and bathing. Electrocution could be eradicated by outlawing electricity. We live with these risks not because we’re indifferent to suffering but because we understand that the costs of zero-drowning or zero-electrocution would be far too great. The same is true of zero-Covid.”
The madness is creeping back: people pulling masks from their pockets, a little girl fishing one from her car seat, and every sort of improper use of an unproven form of protection.
The fight starts anew. Fauci says the vaccinated are no less likely to carry viral load than the unvaccinated. He says you must wear a mask again. He doesn’t apologize for pushing a claim about the ability of the vaccine to slow the spread. He doesn’t pause for a moment to say that we should slow down and look at the data. That the vaccine is not living up to expectations and it may be fair for rational people to not participate.
We are prepared to fight more Lockdowns as politicians lay blame and their followers tow the line. There are more doubters now. They are more emboldened.
The narrative was built on lies from the start. Even with the bait-and-switch acceptance that this likely started in a lab in Wuhan, no one is seriously looking to them for answers. Would not the folks doing the gain-of-function research not be the best ones to help develop therapies for this pathogen? Maybe they could earn their way out of their deserved prison cells by saving a few lives.
No? We aren’t pursuing this story with every resource? Okay. Good. The naked power grab of the elite (where has all the “relief” money gone?) is laid out for all to see.
More have awakened to the collusion of the corporate press and deep state actors. Fewer people are listening to the lies. More children will be pulled from schools and more families will discover the joys and freedom of home education. Individuals will become more free as society becomes less so.
There will be rough spots ahead, but it is getting harder and harder for the bad guys to get away with their schemes.
These fact check sites always attack strawman arguments. I am asking, “Why?” and these answers don’t add up. If PCR is the “gold standard,” why is it being dropped?
People have suffered isolation, depression, unemployment, delayed care, abuse, and self-harm due to Lockdown restrictions. The PCR test was not designed as a diagnostic and yet those numbers were used to shut down people’s lives.
With PCR tests removed from the count and vaccinated people urged not to get tested, the numbers will go down and the Establishment will get to claim victory simply by cooking the books.
“Jim McKinney, an FDA spokesman, told us in an email that to date, “the FDA has authorized more than 380 tests and sample collection kits to diagnose COVID-19, many of which are PCR tests. PCR tests are generally considered to be the ‘gold standard’ for COVID-19 diagnosis.”
Another conspiracy theory hits reality.
Many have been trying to sound the alarm on the inaccuracy of the RT-PCR test as a diagnostic tool.
Why is CDC pulling it now? Last year we were told that mass testing was the primary method of containing COVID-19. Now there is an implicit admission that this test is inaccurate. Testing was, and continues to be, a major argument for Lockdowns.
The PCR tests may have outlived their usefulness in boosting numbers. The Establishment is embarrassed at the surprising numbers of vaccinated people who are testing positive.
The narrative is shifting. They have discovered that the population that will not buy their lies is larger than they thought.
Government is using their only tool, force, to manipulate speech in public spaces.
–
Politicians are liars by trade and now they are pulling the big con: State ownership of “truth.”
No, thanks.
There’s too much life happening out here for me to sit with a screen for long.
I don’t have to watch the news to feel the effects of the fear machine on people. Fewer people will comply this time. Fewer people will believe the lies. More will go about their business. More will see through the narrative manipulation.
The bad guys have overplayed their hand. More of us are meeting without a care for the official guidance. We will continue without their permission and we will grow in numbers.
This is why we fight at the mere suggestion that we should be put on a list and treated differently for our personal medical decisions.

Laws divide us. They create violent enforcers and innocent criminals. When those laws are imposed by the smallest political class, the effects are exacerbated.

I was maskless in a Delaware library with my sons this morning. We searched the stacks for Minecraft, Pokémon, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and One Piece books.
My younger son has read 18 volumes of the One Piece manga series. Our look at the online catalog revealed that the 19th volume was available at a library on our way home, but I could not place it on hold. We had the time for a detour and headed in that direction.
This library had a very different feel. There was a uniformed guard insisting that we all wear masks. We walked out and I gave my sons a choice, wait in the running car with the A/C on while I ran in for the book or put masks on for a few minutes to join me. After fumbling in the car for our long unused and cross-contaminated masks, we returned to the entrance. A man was exiting the library and started challenging me in an elevated voice. The jist was that I was part of the problem by giving into the mask wearing. I tried to tell him, “Long day, man, tired of the fight. There are things we can only get in there and I’m giving in for a few minutes.”
He chose not to hear me. He accused me of child abuse for forcing my children to mask. I explained in clear words the choice they had been given and directed him to ask them about their decisions.
He chose not to hear me. I tried once more to explain that I may not be perfect, but I wasn’t the enemy.
My blood was up, but I saw this was fruitless. I turned my back as he crowed about my freedom to jump off a bridge, or some such nonsense.
I entered the library and noticed the guard was distracted from his post. I also checked into my memory and realized this maskless hero had only walked in a minute earlier to drop books in the return slot. His bravery extended to shouting at a single dad and his sons.
Laws must be enforced arbitrarily. One library has no mask enforcement while another in the same state has a uniformed guard dedicated to enforcement. That guard has no backup, so even that enforcement is subject to circumstantial whims. This arbitrary enforcement creates confusion. The confusion manifests as wholly absurd behaviors including yelling at strangers and improperly (and inconsistently) wearing masks.
It is all a dad can do to create a sane and stable environment for his children. It drains me many days. Today was worse than most.
Be kind. Don’t make assumptions. You don’t know how bad someone’s day has been or why they are doing what they are doing. Don’t be a maskhole.
Jerks can be right or wrong. Nice people can be right or wrong. Equating demeanor and ability to discern truth is narrow minded. Heck, sometimes speaking the truth demands jerky behavior, you think some normie who just walked in to the temple thought Jesus was a cool dude knocking over tables and whipping suckas?
