January 31, 2023Declaring an “emergency” isn’t always about an actual emergency. It’s about money, as most things these days are. When the government declares an “emergency,” suddenly funding becomes available that wasn’t available before. You can get and spend taxpayer money on things that aren’t in a normal budget, but that are allocated for “emergencies” only. On top of money, there’s also power. When people think there is an “emergency,” they are more willing to surrender power to authority figures. And once that power is surrendered to authority, it isn’t often relinquished by them.
We’ve watched for 3 years as the COVID “emergency” has been manipulated and exploited for money and power. And Democrat politicians aren’t ready to give that up yet. Today, every single Democrat in the House voted against debating bills that would bring the COVID “emergency” to an end and halt COVID vaccine mandates for federal healthcare workers. Why would they want to end it when they have such a great thing going? All that emergency funding and emergency power is intoxicating.
Here’s radical Democrat Representative from Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, saying that we still have a pandemic because “500 people a day die from COVID.” Now, I’d love to see her data, but NBC says it’s more like 400/day. And is this straight COVID deaths or COVID-related deaths? Because there’s a difference. Even still, though, is that really a pandemic? No. It’s not. It’s sad, as most deaths are sad, but it’s not a pandemic. I’m just realistic. People die every single day. In fact, according to an NIH study from 1999, there are about 605,000 obesity-related deaths in the US every year. Divide that by 365 days and that’s a rough estimate of about 1,658 people dying obesity-related deaths every single day in this country. And that was more than 20 years ago, and the obesity epidemic has gotten FAR worse since then. Just imagine those numbers now. So how is 400/day a pandemic when 1,658 or more isn’t? And why were we shutting down gyms and deeming McDonalds “essential?”
At this point, people need to be trusted to make their own informed decisions. Give people the facts and let them do their own risk assessments to decide whether they need a mask, need to quarantine, need to socially distance, need to test for COVID, etc. We don’t need the government dictating the lives of several hundred million people anymore, and certainly not over 400 deaths a day. People, it will never be zero deaths. Never. It’s time to move on.

How in the bloody Hell can something be an “emergency” for over 40 years? Congress needs to step in and say, emergencies can be no longer than 30 days, but they won’t.
