I don’t really see people putting up with this Democrat Orwellian stuff past May 1. There seems to be, after all, some significance with that date in people’s minds, particularly in Europe, as it is a public holiday celebrated as an ancient festival of Spring, with dances, singing, and cake. Then there’s the ‘Mayday; Mayday; Mayday’ international distress signal warning of trouble between ships and aircraft.
Or between government forces of evil and good!
‘They’ just want control of the upcoming election by using the virus as an excuse, which likely goes down as the nastiest attempt to control an election in the history of the Republic. The Democrat governors have been stealing elections since forever in their states and this current shutdown is all about making sure President Trump isn’t re-elected.
Here’s what amazes me – when the government says “quarantine yourselves”, it’s admitting that it can’t do anything to protect you from the virus. Yet people want the government to have more power. Sheer stupidity. They may well have released the virus on us too soon if we develop herd immunity in time to vote.
Sundance, Conservative Treehouse: ‘President Trump Threatens to Adjourn Congress: They’ve Been Warned’…
The last time the Supreme Court ruled on an issue related to congress not formally adjourning session they left open the door to support [an] Executive Branch invocation of Article II, Section 3, during an “unusual circumstance” or “national catastrophe.”
Today President Trump warned congress he may invoke Article II, sec 3, due to the COVID-19 crisis and his need for administration positions that have been delayed by democrats in the Senate for more than two years.
The coronavirus pandemic would seem to qualify as an “unusual circumstance” where recess appointments would be needed, valid and justified. However, senate democrats would likely fight any attempt in court. The Senate has refused to adjourn session since President Trump was inaugurated, and multiple cabinet officials have been blocked from confirmation.
According to Politico:
“Leader McConnell had a conversation today with the president to discuss Senate Democrats’ unprecedented obstruction of the president’s well-qualified nominees and shared his continued frustration with the process,” said a McConnell spokesman. “[McConnell] pledged to find ways to confirm nominees considered mission-critical to the COVID-19 pandemic, but under Senate rules that will take consent from Leader Schumer.” (link)

Talking about which, George Orwell had a lot to say in his 1984 novel written in 1948 about rogue governments acting out ulterior motives… ‘prescience’ !!
1. He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
2. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power – pure power.
3. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
4. Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
5. The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.
6. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.
7. Orthodoxy means not thinking — not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness
8. Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.
9. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.
10. The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.
11. Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.
12. If you can feel that staying human is worth while, even when it can’t have any result whatever, you’ve beaten them.
13. What can you do, thought Winston, against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself; who gives your arguments a fair hearing and simply persists in his lunacy?
14. To die hating them, that was freedom.
Thank GOD that we have a president in Donald J. Trump ready, willing, and more than able, to keep on keeping on to develop America’s greatness.
Time for today’s MAGA Pill – President Donald J. Trump against all odds – MAGA! KAG!
