Small Town Patriotism!!

There was BIG happenings around this small berg of a town over the last week.  I won't keep you in suspense any longer.  You may not be aware that the Governor of California has decided that SOME counties (all his favorite followers) have been allowed to open up in tiny bits and pieces.  The first to open was the golf courses.  REALLY?  People can't feed their families ... they can't pay their mortgage and you open up golf courses and beaches?

With only a tiny population of 30,000 our businesses are mostly Mom and Pop's who can't afford to be shut down.  With that in mind, our City Council decided to fight fire with fire.  I'm sure you've heard of San Francisco, the Sanctuary City where illegals and criminals can live without fear of being arrested for anything, even using the sidewalks of San Francisco for their personal toilet.  If you haven't been there lately, don't bother to go.  It's disgusting!!  You never know WHAT you are walking in.

After a lot of investigation, it was determined our little town can ALSO be a sanctuary city ... for business.  Who knew?  Apparently you can become a sanctuary city for just about anything!!  The local stores can now open without fear of retribution, arrest or huge fines.  They voted on it Friday, and let me tell you, the celebrations began.

It started off with the Police Department opening up their vehicles where we found big screen televisions so we could watch the council vote since there were too many people inside the building.  VOILA!  Just like that our business were BACK IN BUSINESS.  Saturday there was an afternoon parade of probably 75-100 cars driving all the neighborhoods with flags flying and horns honking.   Talk about a show of patriotism!!

By the way, no one was wearing masks and there was lots of hugging.  It was Independence Day in Atwater California.  Just for the record, I actually live in the County, not the City.

Just to interject a little SURPRISE here, it has been reported that after 50 autopsies on Covid 19 patients in Italy, pathologists have discovered it is NOT a pneumonia but a disseminated intravascular coagulation (whatever the heck that is) that SHOULD have just been treated with antibiotics and is not NEAR like the Covid 19 they have been scaring everyone with.  Look it up and see what you find.  Nowadays, you cannot believe everything you read.  I guess time will tell.

In the meantime, some of my very dear friends from the Pumpkin Patch are the Paster and his wife from the local Victory Baptist Church.  I'm Methodist, not that it matters, they like me anyway.  So yesterday, there was another huge celebration when the Church met for the first time IN PERSON outside in their parking lot to honor the Police, Sheriff and CHP officers that protect this little city.

Here's the CHP Commander, followed by the Sheriff's Office.

Lastly was the Police Department accepting his Home Town Hero engraved plaque.  

The biggest Home Town Hero of all is our Sheriff.  Fed up with the entire Covid 19 "lock em up" scare and having first hand knowledge of the Governor's lopsided handling of the entire thing, he wrote a letter to the legislature.  

In part, it says he went above and beyond to gather all the necessary medical equipment at great expense to the county to handle all the bodies that were going to overrun the system (he is also the Medical Examiner) according to what the Governor said was going to happen, yet nothing HAS happened.  Life is a risk ... you could die in a car accident, a plane crash, food poisoning ... just about anything.

The Constitution gives us the right to accept the risks.  No one has the right to dictate WHAT risk you will or will not take.  When Governor Newsom went to the airwaves and singled out one county who didn't follow his orders to the letter, and treated them differently, it became obvious that this entire lockdown was based on him having control over the citizens.

Now Newsom has threatened different counties with removing their funding if they do not follow his orders to the letter.  Economic slaughter is what we are now facing and the majority of citizens are on  the verge of a statewide revolt.  The Sheriff believes Newsom wants the majority of citizens (and illegals) completely dependent on government assistance so he can continue to control them after this "pandemic" is declared over.  

When the State requires the Sheriff to arrest people for attending church and not standing 6 feet apart, yet Newsom releases felons out on the street, completely disregarding the safety of our citizens, something is wrong.  The Sheriff will no longer impose the Covid 19 restrictions on any citizen in this County.

It was much longer, but that's the gist of the letter.

So there you have it folks .... REVOLUTION in the middle of California.  I'm proud to say I support his every word ... AND WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS.  People are coming from miles around to eat and get their hair cut.  WE ARE FINALLY FREE from the tyranny of Newsom.

As to Covid 19, it has been shown that as states are opening up, the virus continues to go downhill in numbers.  Could it be that all the information we have been given on the virus is completely incorrect?  Now wouldn't that be something!!
