Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment to the US Constitution
There are six aspects to this Article of the Bill of Rights.

Thoughts shared by a retired newspaper publisher and Great Plains farm wife:
Evidently, its taking a pandemic to bring out people’s true beliefs.
Politicians are fighting each other, citizens are losing their livelihoods, numbers of coronavirus victims are questioned, some nursing homes have become “death pits”, anxiety and stress are ruling some people’s days, and the blame game is being waged full force. We almost behave like rats fighting over a single piece of meat.
Continue readingWe need a break, so here are some cute things to share from a friend and reader, Margaret:
Here is some fun to consider:
Pollution levels dropping at record-breaking rates, fewer cars on the roads, fewer cruise ships in our seas and fewer planes in the sky. Same number of cows.
If you are a hair stylist, sleep now – cuz when its all over, you better have your doors open 24/7 for the number of un-groomed, boxed hair dyed and home-cut dos you’ll have to fix.
Nothing should go back to normal. Normal wasn’t working. If we go back to the way things were, we will have lost the lesson. May we rise up and do better.
I have never been so thankful to be low maintenance. No nails, no lashes, no crazy hair upkeep, no tanning, no Botox. I’ll just be the same mess coming out of all this as I was going in!
Continue readingAs discussed in previous commentaries, there is growing evidence that this time, American governments may have pushed too hard.
Even while there are those who tout their “conservative” credentials and demonstrate their fear of illness and the ability of others to be responsible. People who espouse that we can “give up individual liberty” to “fight a war” against coronavirus.
More and more people are NOT buying that.
Continue readingThe following was pasted by a Colorado friend on Facebook – he does not take credit stating he only copied and pasted and agrees with the thoughts at 100%. It was probably written by someone in Colorado, where all these things are part of the LOCKDOWN.
When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.
When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.
When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows in person lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.
When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.
When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but let’s criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!
When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor of chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!
When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.
Copy and pasted. I take no credit and don’t know who originally wrote it, but agree 100%. – C.M.
Nathan’s notes: Colorado is bad, but not as bad as some other States, including Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, Kentucky, and Rhode Island.
It is time and past time for rebellion. Not just lawsuits and petitions and protests, but active disobedience and a refusal to let people in suits, people in front of cameras, and people in uniforms treat you like prisoners in a gulag. (Blue or white uniforms – and I’m NOT talking about the USAF or USN.)
YES, another victim of the Great CoronaVirus Pandemic and Panic. Among her many other crimes, the recent degree by that evil monster in the form of a human woman who rules Michigan with an increasingly iron rod includes some zingers.
Some comments on- and off-site so here are some updates.
Concerning the Georgia “handcuff” flyer – nothing further on any of the possible explanations. I still tend to think this is a particularly thuggish (“over-zealous” or scared out of their mind?) action on the part of some Sheriff, Health Department goon, or police department. If it is someone’s sick joke, they will no doubt get what they deserve. We have enough real threats to the little liberty we have left to put up with pranks like this.
However, as I replied to one comment, Montana has another example of the stupidity that fear generates:
The Montana Daily Gazette reports that the Valley County Health Department put out a flyer or leaflet telling people that if they have compete
In the midst of the current persecution of religion supposedly triggered by the COVID-19 Panic (and which is such a convenient excuse), we must not forget that these restrictions, these attacks have been going on for a long time, in times BCV (before coronavirus).

Pushing harder – elite want more power for international organizations like WHO
The track record of international organizations has always been bad. The COVID-19 pandemic panic has blackened that already poor reputation.
The European Union is collapsing before our eyes as the countries locked down, returned the border guards to their little sentry boxes, and cut off not just immigration but ALL travel. And each forged their own way to deal with the deadly plague.
The UN has done absolutely nothing except continue to be a joke.
But the organization which has not just fallen into the gutter but rolled in it is the World Health Organization.
