Today, I have decided to be
here, there and everywhere with my entry that I present to you now.
I have just decided that is more fun to do it that way today, to see how one topic rolls right into another so seamlessly.
So her goes …
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers for their World Series championship, their first one in more than 30 years.
They were the best major league team during this horrid season, so they deserved to win it all.
And kudos for the Tampa Bay Rays, MLB’s second best team, for making it as far as they did.
But the whole thing was tainted to begin with, because this season was such a disaster from the get go, shaped by the coronavirus to such a degree that the 60-game season truly resembled a real-life version of Strat-O-Matic baseball.
And then to further taint it, we have Justin Turner, one of the heroes of the Dodgers’ season, decide right then and there that even though he had tested positive for coronavirus, he was going to soak up the team’s victory just like his other teammates, and he palled around with them, took a team picture with them, hugged them, etc.
The circumstances behind his positive test are kind of murky anyway, and MLB has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. Evidently, as all players were being tested on a regular basis, his test somehow came up murky and had to be redone, and he and the Dodgers and MLB found out at the later stages of the final game of the World Series that he had tested positive.
Now MLB and the Dodgers already knew there was a problem with his test, so why was he allowed to play Game 6 to begin with? Why was he even in the dugout, or anywhere near the team with a murky test?
Now, he has canoodled with teammates, the Rays, other personnel … they are going to all have to be tested to see if they got the virus, presumably from Turner.
People are going crazy stating the Dodgers should be fined, and that Tuner—who refused any attempt by personnel to stay away from the team once the positive test was received—should be suspended for the 2021 season, but shouldn’t MLB also ask itself why, with a questionable test at hand and a retest not yet completed, why they allowed Turner to even be in the stadium for what became the clinching game of the series?
But this behavior by Turner, and the total disregard for any safety by the team and his teammates in general, should not be a surprise to anyone, based on a new Center For Disease Control (CDC) survey.
According to the just released survey, while mask wearing has increased since the coronavirus took hold of our country in March and April, people between the ages of 18 and 29 are the group that are the least likely to follow safety protocols and wear masks.
Yes, the coronavirus did not hit this group as hard, at least at the beginning, as it did other age groups, but the lack of adherence to the basic safety policies put in place to protect all of us may be directly linked to this younger group, who at first spread the virus without getting it, and now, are beginning to register as people who are getting the virus at alarmingly high rates.
Turner is 35 years old, so he is a few years out of that group, but how many of his teammates are right smack dab in the middle of that now highly infected group?
And that leads us to early voters, who have been panicked into voting early by being told that they are protecting themselves from the coronavirus by doing so, but are finding that not only aren’t they protecting anyone by voting early, but they are wasting valuable time in trying to vote before Election Day.
In a ploy to bring out the Democratic vote, the media has scared the public into thinking that if they vote early, they will avoid large crowds trying to vote on Election Day, and thus, lessen the possibility of getting the virus.
But early voters have found that the early voting lines are long, people are standing on top of each other and are not social distancing, and that they are wasting hours and hours on these lines.
So why vote early, when there is absolutely not evidence that voting on the proper Election Day is going to be any better or worse than it normally is during the presidential election?
Again, studies have shown that at least two-thirds of people voting early back Democrat Joe Biden and the party in general, so there you go, it has nothing to do with the coronavirus. It is to give the Democratic challenger a real head of steam and a big lead going into the real Election Day.
And then we have our poor children, who will never know the real joys of Halloween, and certainly won’t experience that this year, with warnings to not go trick or treating.
Look, Halloween has been a joke since adults began to co-opt the holiday as their own beginning in the 1990s or so, when they took over the holiday from the kids and made the day into some adult fantasy dress-up holiday.
When that happened, the holiday was pulled from under the kids’ feet, and the holiday has never been the same since.
And now, we are being told that it is not safe for kids to go from house to house, from door to door, with their bags open and our sweet tooths ready to chomp on the sweet stuff.
I mean, a lot of these kids can’t even go to school the right way anymore, and now their holiday is being completely swiped from them.
How sad that is.
And this dovetails right into Thanksgiving, a holiday where the family is the real centerpiece, and we are being told these gatherings are not safe either.
Yes, whatever your feelings on the virulence of this virus, we are being brainwashed into thinking that the only safe thing to do is literally to sit in our houses with our hands folded and not to move,
One wrong more could give us the coronavirus, or so we are being told.
Human beings are social people, and you just can’t tell people not to get together on a holiday like Thanksgiving … and wait until Christmas! What will the verdict be then?
Yes, some people want us to be automatons, but sorry, all the controlling nonsense is not going to end this virus, a malady which I think has been milked to the hilt by some people who have great influence on us.
I don’t claim that this scourge doesn’t exist; it does.
But I do think that we are being over-done with the safety stuff, and the backlash is being felt now, as more and more people are canoodling as we enter the most social part of the calendar year—and the number of people getting this disease, mostly mildly or barely not at all, is rising each and every day.
So have a good day, stay healthy, but don’t believe everything you read or are told by our very unreliable national media and our leaders who buy into all of this.
A lot of it is filled with a lot of hooey, and I do think people are beginning to see through a lot of it, to a certain degree, but when I see people waiting on line to vote for hours on end, I know that a lot of the mind control and brainwashing has, sadly, worked its magic.
I have an early appointment tomorrow, so I won’t be writing a column on Friday.
So have a great weekend, as good a Halloween as possible—“Abbott Costello Meet Frankenstein,” here I come!—and don’t forget to set the clocks back on Sunday morning.
Speak to you again on Monday.
