Some more food for thought......

We depend on migrant workers both legal and illegal to get the crops out of the fields. Due to government policies being affected crops are going to be going bad in the fields, starting with watermelons, cantaloupes and going right on up the chain to daily food staples.

Most Americans are not hungry yet, but it is coming.

Planting cycles dont turn on a dime and ripe crops dont wait. We get this food when its ready or it rots.

Stimulus checks are NOT going to buy food that simply isnt there.....Corporate bailouts wont fix it either.

The only thing that will is the manpower to get the crops in. We are headed towards a hunger problem that has not been seen since the Civil War. The only fix for this is for the politicians to start lifting the restrictions and let people get back to work.

Even if it means Covid-19 remains a problem or even gets worse. We gotta eat....Which means we’re going to have to insist that the politicians hang their Mussolini costumes back up in the closet and magnanimously permit us to get back to our lives.

Was watching a recent fox news clip this morning with Dr Fauci being interviewed where he broached the possibility that we may need to implement some sort of paperwork for those who are approved to be out and about, travel etc.....

Now I have done my part so far to mitigate the spread and have stayed in except where necessary, observed social distancing guidelines etc etc.....because it was the right thing to do.

But I am telling you right now I wont see this country become a "let me see your papers" kinda place these control freaks are indicating they want. If I decide I want to ride my bike to anywhere when this thing passes then I plan to do so

I might consider handing them a copy of the Constitution before throwing lead instead but......... Yes this thing has killed a few thousand folks but not significantly different than the everyday flu which happens every year and the vast majority of them because they had underlying conditions same as with Covid.

He also said we did not experience any cases where death was caused by not having beds, treatment or ventilators available.....Great, thats good news and no doubt thanks to the quick response and mitigating actions we took.

So then why are we even talking about permanently restrictive "let me see your papers" kind of actions?

There really is only one answer to that question.....The control freaks have an agenda. Well, not married, kids grown and I am just cantankerous enough to bow up by any means necessary and say NOPE.....I inherited more than my share of pure bonified redneck growing up in S GA and am not scared to use it. I have all the papers I need and they were ratified over two centuries ago......

Furthermore....lets consider Dr Fauci the obvious hero of several leftists in here....

On Jan 21st he publicly stated “It isn’t something that the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about.”

He repeated the same thing again on Jan 26th “It isn’t something that the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about.”

The video footage is out there....and I saw at least one live....

Obviously he has changed his tune given his last several interviews.....

Then yesterday we hear this from him on CNN “If Trump had listened to our recommendations, we could  have saved lives.”

Yet Trump started instituting travel bans before the end of the month in well under a week when Fauci was still telling us there was nothing to worry about.....

So what does this tell us....Fauci is part of an agenda and whatever he says is suspect.....

Tis true and tis sad.....RIP

Trump tweeted this today:

For the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some in the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. It is the decision of the President, and for many good reasons.

I can't wait to see the cognitive dissonance that will be on display when you defend this statement by Trump, in light of your recent bashing of big-government liberals.

Assuming that is a verbatim quote, it would be 1 in a reasonably short list of things he has said I am in total opposition to..... Primarily because I am a firm supporter of states rights in most matters. I much prefer the correct interpretations of the Constitution before liberal lawyers and politicians starting twisting it till the blood ran out in order to support their twisted agendas.

Home depot, Lowes etc they have LARGE plastic bags for jobsite cleanup, bagging leaves etc......some are quite heavy duty and should be large enough.....

I am very partial to my TV Pan 35mm.....my most often used EP

Consistency is neither of their strong suits......it is more like whatever sounds worse for Trump at a given moment....

The bottom line is this.....

Trump is not responsible for cv19

Obama was not responsible for ebola

Bush was not responsible for sars

Clinton was only responsible for a few cases of herpes.

"Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Since the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."[1] However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).[2][3]"

Does this add some clarity to the discussion and explain why the feds cannot impose national restrictions on movement nor force states to remove the same? Yes the feds can control and are in charge of the national borders but the states control the rest.....
