Those drones... Here's one solution. I was out on the lake a couple of weeks ago and this kid flew a drone over me about 3 times. I know the kid, he likes on the other end of the lake, I don't know if he was just zipping around or if he was watching me. No matter, I grabbed one of my rods that had a 1/2 oz jig on it and fired a high, looping cast towards it as it approached again. I missed, but it did pass in front of the drone, so the kid had to have seen he was almost shot down. He didn't fly over again and hasn't since. A different story, we have a Ring camera on the front of our house and the other day, it recorded my wife going outside to dump an overflow pan that she had under a plant. As she picked up the pan, she heard what she though was a swarm of bees, so she flung the pan & water in the air and ran back towards the door. Only when she got there, did she realize it wasn't bees, but a drone. If I knew how to post footage from the Ring, I'd do it, the reaction was comical. |

So, why do you suppose I chose this topic to post this little tie bit. Trudeau Announces Ban on 1,500 types of “Assault” Forearms, Effective Immediately
give up? i have read the Emergency Management Agency Act for Illinois a few times. I am also aware many or most municipalities here in IL have built a similar document into their city codes. simply put, these emergency response regulations give the government (either state or city) many new powers during the Emergency, such as banning alcohol and gasoline/fuel sales, banning movement out in public or controlling it, and... banning or limiting sale AND purchase of firearms. since our Governor just issued a new executive order declaring a new emergency (which most do not believe he gets to do), I find his timing suspect anyway, and, then, I read about Trudeau’s move. It makes me wonder about the real reason for all these limitations and declarations. |

I'm not going to go so far as some online who assert that COVID-19 was a planned release by the Chinese (though their allowance of international flights out of Wuhan but not from Wuhan to Shanghai or Beijing is suspicious), but there is no doubt the virus was seized upon by the Leftist media and political class to maximum effect (and only after Impeachment failed). The fact that they continue to double down on this even as the CDC numbers indicate this is more in line with a higher level seasonal flu indicates this has become nothing more than another chapter in the political warfare waged on the country since Trump announced in 2015.
We've been had. The "October surprise" came in March.

you are not going on a limb here..., was obvious from day 1..... whether intentional or accidental...., the GLOBAL-GEOPOLITICAL then DOMESTIC-POLITICAL issues became bigger than the pandemic.

Something interesting you might want to research further on your own. according to the European Patent Office, there is a patent #EP3172319B1, on a coronavirus that was just awarded to the Pirbright Institute on November 19, 2019:  The Description of EP3272319BI from the Patent Office
only talks about infection amongst birds, but note the symptoms are the same as in humans. so who is this Pirbright Institute that owns this patent on this Avian Coronavirus? according to Wikipedia, they are a British livestock research firm who research vaccines for livestock infections. USAToday states they have received no funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation but they also claim Pirbright received their patent in September, 2018. Both statements are wrong. They were awarded the patent according to the above source in November, 2019, and according to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website, they received a $600,000 grant in 2018.

Test run for Socialism. One of my neighbor's 23-year-old daughter is making more money on unemployment that she was in her job. Insanity.

And, then, there’s this little tidbit, from Illinois that helps explain why IL exposure/infection rates are over three times the rate of all our surrounding states, combined:
PathGroup is a large contributor providing covid19 testing in Illinois, and is a pharmaceutical company. Their website has an article dated March 16, 2020 states that they are providing Covid19 testing.
PathGroup is owned by The Pritzker Group.
The Pritzker Group was founded by (Illinois Governor) JB Pritzker.
While our small businesses are ordered closed by unlawful decree, his business is raking in tons of medical and taxpayer income for testing kits in a state with some of the highest numbers of tests, in a state where the Governor wants everyone tested.
He mandates a test, you/your insurance/your employer pays for the test, JB’s company and investment company profits.

There's at least a few big companies that aren't unhappy with the current situation.

My son works for Target. His schedule has increased and they are paying their associates an extra $2 an hour. He works his butt off and inherited his dad’s customer service ethic so customers and his management love him... AND he’s raking in money hand over fist.
