While the background story of data manipulation to intentionally inflict economic damage is stunning, the severity of the position of Nashville Democrat Mayor John Cooper is actually not a surprise.
It must be remembered this is the same Nashville Mayor who created COVID-19 internment camps to forcibly detain people in a quarantine camp at a fairground. When one person jumped the fence to escape the police hunted him down and Nashville authorities charged him with “escaping a penal institution.” COVID-19 was criminalized.
Two months after the internment camp incident a non-domiciled Nashville citizen named Joseph Bryant (61) was arrested for refusing to wear a face mask outside. His bail was set at $500 and he was incarcerated for not wearing a face mask. So it doesn’t come as a complete surprise to discover the same officials hid data showing low COVID-19 infection rates in order to inflict the maximum amount of economic pain on business owners.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — The coronavirus cases on lower Broadway may have been so low that the mayor’s office and the Metro Health Department decided to keep it secret.
Emails between the mayor’s senior advisor and the health department reveal only a partial picture. But what they reveal is disturbing.
The discussion involves the low number of coronavirus cases emerging from bars and restaurants and how to handle that.
And most disturbingly, how to keep it from the public. (more)
This totalitarian power grab is a pattern amid blue states and blue regions where Democrats are in charge. The underlying ideology of democrats is based on government control over the lives of people; as a result these revelations only serve to highlight just how severe the ideological manipulation is.
…”The key for continued economic success is to get the blue regions and blue states to re-open their economies. However, unfortunately that positive direction is against their political interests. Democrats are willing to inflict economic pain for political benefit.”…
President Trump won TN by 30% over Hitlary! This is also punishment to the citizens who didn’t vote for the democrat! Every bar business owner needs to get an attorney and fight these dictators!
China may have created the virus but it is the democrats that weaponized the Chinese virus against America. We don’t need a vaccine for the virus. We need a vaccine to protect America from democrats. This is why “Right to Try” is so important.
Did you’all notice on FOX News website today, an immediate article answer to that Carson Chinese whistle-blower microbiologist saying the Covid was man – made manipulated. This new “scientific” study that says that Covid could come directly to humans from bats, as it was evolving for 70 years in horseshoe bats. Authors US, Europe and China.
https://www.foxnews.com/health/where-coronavirus-originated-study
Convenient no?
Instead of studying and monitoring Horseshoe bats for emerging threats, just kill them all – problem solved!
PS. Though not an expert, I do invest in Biotechs. I read the Whistle-blower’s very technical report, and could generally follow it. It is very well done and detailed. Nothing I’ve seen out there compares. Counter articles provide no such detail. Hummmm.
I’ve never seen the science behind “Trump is a Racist” either.
The Murdoch boys at work no doubt.
Agree Dr Yan’s report was well done. Not a scientist but I had little trouble understanding her conclusions. It will be interesting to see how other scientists attempt to rebut. Going to be a tall order.
I hope she is under strong protection. There are a few out there that would like her to “disappear”
Lol…Time to wake up Free People of the World…
The CCP is the DEMONcrat party…and they own the Tech industry, Mass Media industry, and the majority of the representatives in the congress, senate, FBI, and DOJ.
If you don’t believe me…just look at what they have done, are doing, and this is just the beginning.
When will these officials be indicted?
Where’s Lin Wood?
Where’s Barr?
Blowing on his BAGPIPES
Washing his toupee
Lin Wood is likely very busy now
Oh my god! That was horrible!
loved that the reporter did not back down to that weasel.
Wow! The swamp is vast.
Well, at least in Tennessee there is some push back from the press and the people; here in NC the bar owners just sit around and whine about how unfair it is and the press is just a propaganda arm of the DNC. Absolutely no push back at all.
Free Citizens or Serfs?
And recently NC Governor Roy Cooper here in NC set an edict that restaurants must close by 11 PM so that there is no late night fun there either. November will not be soon enough to send Roy Cooper back home to Rocky Mount, NC.
Curious of your opinion as to the likelihood NC sends Gov. Cooper packing. Thanks.
Voter enthusiasm for Dan Forest very high. Roy Cooper is a big kill joy and making no friends. But it is too early to tell who will win.
Did they provide the science that China Flu is worse after 11:00 p.m.?
LMAO!!
Fake conservative Ben Shapiro is moving his organization to Nashville. Maybe he has a gig with Mayor Cooper.
Nope. He’s just tired of California’s squeezing of his neck. He’s breaking free of Newsom et.al.
Yes, but Nashville is a mess as well!
WSB is correct.
So..(rhetorically)…
Why move from one communist-run sh*thole to another communist-run sh*thole?
That makes zero sense at all.
But then again, little Ben has ever been high on my “follows solid conservative ideals” list…
How much longer are we in the Blue States who have been suffering quietly under this thuggery and tyranny going to keep pretending that everything is okay?
The saddest thing of all about the Lockdowns is that there is no real resistance from the people. Somehow the Antifa and BLM scum manage to put together riots and demonstrations with thousands of people to tear down our country, but patriots and conservatives can’t seem to get their act together.
I seriously don’t know what the problem is.
BLM & antifa are the TRUE SERFS
Dear Senaca:
Frank Field. Cedar Creek Reservoir. East Texas…952-2947.
At your ready
Dear Frank- THANK YOU!
I know several restaurants in Colorado as well as a community drag strip owned (by an overtly Christian family) have fought back against the Governor Polis 200 executive orders re Covid. Some have been forced to close, some have managed to stay alive with outdoor dining but Colorado is getting cold. The race track is very popular but the Governor has sicced the Jefferson County Health Department on them. There is a lawsuit going on but it will probably be too drawn out for this family business to survive. The Governor is picking losers and winners and woe to anyone who boos his edicts.
annie- in NY City it appears that Killer Cuomo and DelAssholio both are doing their best to permanently shut down about 80% of the small businesses. There is one reason only for this: to try and hurt President Trump in some way.
Although the worst of the Lock Down is over, there are still many limitations on our freedom. The worst is the physical tyranny of the muzzle masks.
Even though the “epidemic” is officially over by every metric, the mask mandates keep getting worse.
Demented Joe is bragging that if “he” gets elected he will turn the entire Country into a concentration camp.
Part of this is that the thugs and tyrants are often members of our own family or are people we have known a long time. We spend time trying to “see things their way,” I mean, we don’t know everything, right? It’s an emergency, a pandemic, horrible things will happen to those we love if we don’t just do a little thing like wear a face mask, or avoid standing near one another, or attend “super spreader” events like I did last week at an airport near Nashville, attended by the Governor and a bunch of other politicians. Some people wore masks, I assume for personal reasons — someone at home is sick or some such case. Most of us did not, including a famous musician who performed without one. Water and wrapped BBQ sandwiches were the food provided.
Very simple, no big deal but my NYC/NJ niece considered it a danger to her (I think because of having to report contact tracing on her return to the city and possibly endure a 14-day quarantine) asked me to please not come to her mother’s memorial service and disinvited us from staying at the family home in a neighboring state. Her liberal Trump-hating husband had told her that TN had a recent “uptick” in cases and that my husband and I posed a danger to her. My husband and I said “screw it” and viewed the memorial on a Zoom. The niece apologized later and I do understand that NYC is under a communist dictatorship these days and has succeeded in scaring the crap — and common sense — out of its residents.
Lady Sid- you are so right that often it is our own relatives and friends who are a big part of the problem.
My oldest daughter breaks my heart. She is a liberal (Commie) Dem, the mother of 2 of my beloved granddaughters, and she is also a member of the local board of education. (we are in NY).
I have had major, no holds barred arguments with her about the horrific policies that are being implemented in her school district because of Covidiots like her and her friends.
There are no in person classes for now, and in a week or two they will have some kind of “hybrid” classes where some of the kids go for a few hours here and there to in person school but mostly it will be endless screen time.
The kids will have to wear the masks of submission all day long, they will have limited physical contact with their friends, no cafeteria, no books, no papers, just more screen time in the school buildings.
This is already having an effect on my granddaughters but there is no arguing with our daughter. She is totally brainwashed.
If I want to continue having a relationship with my grand kids, there’s an awful lot of anger that I have to swallow.
It is a horrible situation and all the more reason that AG Barr should live up to his own words and do something about these damn Lock Downs.
Seneca I really do feel for you and your grandkids. This entire episode is bringing out both the absolute worst in some people but the best in others.
An extended period of unrelenting stress usually exposes most people’s true personality…
I understand, I’m at loss really myself why for the most part the bulk of the conservatives just sit back and do and say nothing. You get em’ together and they whine and cry but do nothing.
And to large extend our situation today is because we have never taken a stand. A stand together in large numbers as a show of force.
We ain’t never gonna get anywhere if people good decent folks don’t get together by the thousands just to say NO, we ain’t gonna do what you say.
One more thing, if this was done at the town hall and city hall level confronting majors these crazy kinda things wouldn’t simply not happen.
maybe they don’t want to go to jail?
By the thousands, we have to stand up by the thousands, it has to a strong show of force. Not violent force but a show of solidarity.
IMHO….
Many people are not bold enough to expose themselves (or their family) to targeted legal action by the State/Local authorities.
Many who might risk confrontation otherwise, feel they do not have sufficient financial resources to retain good counsel with which to battle the State/Local authorities.
Many folks would probably join with a mass protest as long as they believe they will be part of a large group and not easily singled out for punitive actions by the State/Local authorities.
Assuming you are still allowed to drive, organise a regular drive rally – a bit like the boat parades. If done, say at a regular time/place, each weekend/townhall, lots of flags, signs, noise,advertising “same time next week” it would attract larger numbers each time. When you have a critical mass other forms could be considered.

Just think how much greater this country would be IF Soros were a good guy! Thank God we have POTUS!!!
I don’t know where you get your information about “blue” states but not everyone is “pretending that everything is okay”. 40% or more of the population is not nobody. We have had MULTIPLE lawsuits against the lock downs in Washington State including one that was very similar to recent successful lawsuit in Ohio. We have a huge problem on the west cost with anti-constitution judges. The combination of winner take all democratic elections plus the beloved tenth amendment means that the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the US government are useless to an increasing number of people living in what was once considered the USA.
remnant- I am glad to hear that, but am not sure what you mean by 40% of the population.
There was just a big win in PA when the federal judge ruled the Lock Down was unconstitutional but I don’t know it’s going to play out.
The problem in NY and I think it may be true in other Blue states, is that back in March our disgraceful state Legislatures voted to give unlimited powers to our corrupt Governors.
Killer Cuomo’s don’t expire till April 2021.
The court systems in the Blue states are owned by the Dems. My State Supreme court literally told our dictator in training that she could do anything she wants.
The recalls magically always come up short. Go figure.
This means the Feds are the only hope to work this out legally and when they come out and say on the first day of the fires that rumors of them being set are all a conspiracy theory it doesn’t bode well for getting any help from them either.
If the Fib doesn’t start acting like a Fed policing agency and not an arm of the Dems then we need to start firing at the top level and every level down until we find some actual agents and not operatives.
Voting is a joke when they do the counting.
DNC is a felony committing criminal organization in every way. That is the short of it.
DNC = Democrat National Cartel
Democrat Nazi Cartel
So what’s going to be done about it?
Kid Rock is going to have a lot to say about this. His Lower Broadway rent must be astronomical!!
Hopefully, he will be able to blast this far and wide and maybe convince some of his pop country lefty neighbors to vote republican. Hopefully, Carol Swain will run for mayor again.
There isn’t any short-term legal remedy. The law is whatever the state and local judges say it is even if it is obviously unconstitutional. The combination of winner-take-all democratic elections plus the 10th amendment to the US Constitution means that state and local governments can suspend your constitutional protections indefinitely and nobody is coming to help you anytime soon. I live in Washington State and have been dealing with this for several months now. It helped me to admit that I live in a failed state where there is no expectation of justice. I focus on my family, friends and survival.
Where ever you have a democrat, you have a Stalin in waiting.
This sounds like a job for the DOJ. Never mind, Nashville prefers guitars over bagpipes.
Scratch the surface of a progressive, and you’ll find the underlying totalitarian.
Just read C.S. Lewis’ quote about robber barons.
Voila!
Lewis was a brilliant man. His book “Mere Christianity” is a work of true importance.
Agreed. “Mere Christianity” is a Noble Endeavor that has saved many a man and many a nation, from themselves and from others.
Someone gave it to me in High School. It took a while to sink it, but when it did, I was a different person!
The citizens of Nashville getting the leadership they voted for it appears. Keep voting for democrats. The black vote in these large cities is just enough to place the democrats in power. Thanks LBJ. You were correct about that 200 years.
I’m not so sure that’s completely true in Nashville’s case. Locals please correct me if I am wrong but from what I’ve heard/read there are a lot of lefties moving there…it became one of the hip new trending places. Plus, a lot of the pseudo country artists are liberals.
Anyone hear about Eric Church’s new song promoted at the ACMs last night? Woke!
Tim Mcgraw, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley and Garth Brooks are longtime democrats but most of the new young artists are liberals…Marin Morris, Kacey Musgraves etc.
And this is why I won’t listen to new country. Makes me sick.
Where’s Merle Haggard, Charlie Rich, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash. etc. when we need ’em?
Hell, I just hung a TV and mirror on the wall in my kitchen. I sit on a swivel chair at my bar and stare into the mirror, watch some TV and ask my wife to bring me another beer when I am ready. Some music playing in the back ground. Don’t have to watch my back or worry about cigarette smoke. When I am done I don’t have far to go home to my chair. Save lots of money too.
That crap is not country music.
Correct…it is just top 40 pop with a steel guitar and some hip hop thrown in.
That’s probably a lot of the problem, for sure. Before the scamdemic, 100 people a DAY were moving into Nashville! It was the “IT” city raking in millions in tax money! We’ve had democrat mayors for decades so this isn’t anything new. I think it’s just so much money was being brought in, all the mismanagement was covered up. The “never let a crisis go to waste” crowd got a little too greedy and stupid so now they’re busted. I believe we will see a Republican mayor in the next go around though…at least I sure hope so!
I noticed about ’93 or ’94 that there was a change taking place in Country music and Nashville as a whole. I signed up for a set of country music CDs that you receive in the mail once every month or two. It was hailed at that time as the “new” country music.
I didn’t care for it because it didn’t sound like the country music I had always known. It sounded closer to pop music although I wouldn’t necessarily label it as the pop I had known up until that time.
Later just after the turn of the century I reconnected with a very good friend from high school. Her younger brother was well known in the music scene in Memphis where we had grown up. He was an absolutely phenomenal country music singer and tried to make it in Nashville. It was a no go. He could NOT breakthrough.
He was told his style was the “old” style of country music that had seen its days and wouldn’t see anymore then or in the future.
In hindsight, I can see where they began turning things blue in Nashville, at least, right about the time ole Bill was coming on the scene nationally.
LBJ only said 100 years. He’s been right for 56 so far.
I am not able to click LIKE 1,000 times! What you say is truth.
Can’t be seen as having the problem being solved until after the election … aka never let a good crisis go to waste.
And then there will be all those pesky riots and other disturbances which will require ever greater controls by the all loving blue rulers whoe only interest is their love of their subjects /sarc
whose
Democrats always run on racial issues, poverty issues and equality issues. But they NEVER solve those issues when they have a chance because they wouldn’t have anything to run on in the future.
Ben Shapiro is about to become a thorn in their side
Ha! Yes! We can hope!!!
After that feckless little chickens…hawk pedophist came out in support of Cuties? Not bloody likely. Shapiru has always been an agent of control to make the Right channel their energies down useless detours and backalleys. His loyalties are to his tribe and not this nation.
Definition courtesy of Vox Day:
PEDOPHIST
noun
An individual who, while not necessarily attracted to children or being a practicing pedophile himself, is nevertheless guilty of systemic and/or unconscious pedophilia by virtue of his support for, or defense of, individuals, organizations, and institutions that advocate, normalize, or engage in activities involving pedophilia, child porn, sex-trafficking minors, or political efforts to lower the legal age-of-consent.
What “tribe” are you talking about?
Can’t tell if you’re serious or not…
I am serious.
Well then…
It is a non-North America tribe famous for:
*heavy over-representation in pornography
*heavy over-representation in banking
*heavy over-representation in the media and Hollywood
*heavy over-representation in comedy
*many high-level members of the tribe have explicitly stated their goals with pornography are to destroy other cultures’ morals
*having an old Russian proverb stating that this group of people will always tell you what happened to them, but never why
*being repeatedly on the record as being superior to all other peoples on earth
*being extremely clannish and exclusive even as they push for inclusivity and diversity in every country they inhabit
*being forcibly kicked out of most of the nations of the world at one time or another
*being repeatedly unfaithful to the Will of God and losing their birthright and heritage for it
*explicitly rejecting their deity’s son and threatening to riot and overthrow their local governing body if that governing body did not murder their deity’s son.
*having their religious leaders being called a brood of vipers and children of Satan by Christ
*wearing tiny little hats
My Boss is a Jewish carpenter. I grew up surrounded by Jews and love them as a people. In a previous life I suspect you were one of the authors of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. Jews are 0.2% of the Earth’s population and have received 20% of the various Nobel Prizes … over 900 in total. Is that more evidence of your “Jewish Conspiracy” or maybe evidence of a people who cherish something that can’t be stolen from them … an education?
Shapiro is a big NeverTrumper…….
Attorney Brian Lewis represented some Nashville bar owners in their unsuccessful attempt at getting a Federal injunction. I would hope he is filing a preservation letter for pertinent emails etc., and proceeding with a lawsuit.
I live here in Nashville & though I love the city, I cannot wait to move to the suburbs due to the Democratic politicians. They raised our taxes by 34% this year! 34%!!!!!!!
Nothing “democratic” about that. That’s why they should always be referred to as democrats, or other choice descriptives, but certainly not democratic.
I live in Franklin about 20 miles south of you in Williamson County. The difference is like I’m in West Berlin and you are in East Berlin 🙂
So, are you saying the Franklin area is more conservative? We are in California, looking to move to TN possibly, but this crap is making me nervous. Once we move, we will be stuck. Obviously, not looking to move to Nashville, but if they state is turning blue, we might have to rethink our choice.
Love Franklin and Leipers Fork. Just praying they don’t become overly infested with liberals
Yes, the virus is real. No, it isn’t worse than any flu/bad flu.
Biggest scam in history. The whole asymptomatic “super spreader”, “your mask isn’t to protect you but rather protect others” is nonsense.
Let the flood gates open. Hopefully people wake-up and take their freedom back.
I never could accept that “I’m protecting you, not me” mask explanation, although it reeks of self congratulations, so there’s that. So.. your mask doesn’t stop the virus from entering, only from exiting the mask? What.. is there a one-way arrow to signal the virus which side of the mask it can penetrate?
This is as ludicrous as cherry-picking which businesses to close up. The pizza joint and the grocery aisles are safe to open, but we must close up the dry cleaner and the mom and pop stores, even though there are fewer shoppers? C’mon, Man!
I guess coronaviruses read signs and wait outside of certain places, but not others? Is COVID-19 smart enough to hang out by the doorway to ambush people as they *exit* the store?
And, if we’re talking about droplets hanging in the air, the droplets are carried much farther by the wind than they will ever travel indoors (no wind). So, they may have that backwards, in any case.
Just think.. all this.. even shutting down our economy.. but yanking an FDA-approved medication that is proven to save lives? WTH is going on here?
C’mon, man! Quit the virtue-signaling and figure it out! (Present company excepted of course!)
Amen!!
But, remember, a lot of people, on purpose, cast a vote for Hillary “Why aren’t I ahead 70 points” Clinton including “Mr. Hugs and Love” himself.
This is really getting boring for me! Day after day we learn how our “elected officials” have decided to withhold, lie and fabricate on issues that directly impact a ctizen’s life all for their political goals to be attained by any means necessary.
But worse than that kind of behavior, is the choice voting citizens make to keep these evil clowns in office or to replace them with new evil, lying clowns. No wonder Obama’s healthcare guy came out and said how stupid voters were, etc. They seem to prove it every time an election comes up!
So, with our secret vote now being invaded by democrats with this mailing ballot scam, here comes the counting games. Meanwhile, Obama gets great praise prior to his new book being released!
The earth is flat…believe me, trust me…would I not tell you the truth? Oh, my wife doesn’t understand me, the check is in the mail, and I’ve never done this before!
…….and the beat goes on…..la de da
We need Peoples’ Grand Juries, not the courthouse cabal kind. And it needs to be a popular thing to bring these a-holes in front of a Grand Jury. Lawyers prosecuting get go-funded big-time. These a-holes need to lose their houses’ to the Law….Peoples House…
Just proves that inside every elected Democrat is a totalitarian dictator just itching to emerge.
“Democrats are willing to inflict economic pain for political benefit.”…
Yep, and what is oven more upsetting is how the General Populous largely ignores it!
Unforgivable.

The WordPress 2-step is at it again! So sorry ?
He also raised our property tax 34%. We have a tourism related business downtown and Cooper has hurt us badly, not to mention the folks we co tract to do work for us. Unfortunately there are too many progressives in Nashville and we keep getting these horrible mayors.
Your largest industry, music, brings in the vast majority of the liberals as well as the academic community.
You are lucky. Our mayor’s assessment stormtroopers raised our personal property tax last year by 56%, and only through grievance submission were we able to reduce to the exact amount you were raised.
When do they realize, once the citizens leave, there will be no more mayor or city council?
The next mayoral election in Nashville is in 2023. Will the people remember this treachery? More important: Will a viable Republican run?
Pfftt…he won’t make it until then! He was already fighting a recall (that he put the kabosh to by way of USPS), this will fire up the masses! The last mayor was thrown out of office for an affair with her bodyguard…this will be a cake-walk comparatively.
They might do a recall. They got rid of the cra-a-a-zy female mayor a year or so ago who was having “Special Time” each morning with her security detail in the City Cemetery. Really. The population of the city is pretty downtrodden, mentally and physically. A lot of college kids, too. The public schools suck. No one that can avoid it sends their kids there. Action and real progress is in the surrounding counties, not in Metro. The only two Democrat Congress critters in TN are John Cooper (pretty sure he’s a relative of mayor) in Nashville and Steve Cohen in Memphis, who’s a real charmer. Not. Redrawing TN’s districts to accommodate blacks after the census should be very interesting! I really think their population in Nashville is declining, so they’re going to have to rig a very Gerry-mandered monstrosity of a district to cope! Sort of like Ohio did to keep their one black Democrat Representative a few years ago. Laughs.
Joseph Bryant is getting ready to collect large wampum from the City of Nashville.
Wish the local media had the balls to question the overblown fake Covid statistics here in Texas…think they are all part of Tass…never question authority.
Can’t open a bar in Texas, Republican Gov Abbott
Traitor
I have to drink at home until 2am, then get into my car and drive around town before returning home. It just isn’t the same.
The video above is from the mayor’s “covid update daily briefing”. Actually amazed that he had the to kajones to show his face after this broke yesterday afternoon. Dennis Ferrier is the reporter’s name who broke it and he is the best of the best here in Nashville! There are an awful lot of folks highly pissed off over this. If the tax increase wasn’t enough, I believe this will be what it takes to get him out of office. Steve Glover, a councilman, is who broke this to Dennis and he is on it like white on rice! I hope that Steve Smith (one of the downtown property owners (Tootsie’s for one) that majorriddle mentioned above) is madder than a hornet about now.
It’s been told to us today that we will move to Phase 3 on Oct. 1. I believe in the folks in Nashville and I am willing to bet it will be fully open before then!
Stupid ignorant democrats just can’t help but out themselves! They just don’t understand technology to be putting all this stuff IN WRITING that can be leaked! Thank G_d they are so dumb!
Your mayor looks to be Asian. Affirmative action at work?
No, not Asian at all…connected. He’s Congressman Jim Cooper’s brother….a true libtard!
Thanks. Figured it was something like that.
DOJ??? Where are you? Unconstitutionality has already been ruled on in Pennsylvania for its lockdowns. Should it be necessary to get a similar ruling in the federal courts in the Nashville area or can you just act now?
I’m grateful the restrictions are very low where I live and work. The most restrictive measures I see now are exclusively coming through corporate policy where one dine-in restaurant is open and another still only does drive-through. So I only go to those which are the least restrictive.
I get “cold anger” but this feels more like battered conservative syndrome.
We here in Nashville also have the pleasure of having the mayor’s brother as our congressman. He is a worm, and he slinks into office every two years. The media never asks him a question.
The better way is tax revolt. Put your property tax in a savings account and don’t pay. I GA it can take up to 5 years to default. After a year of no revenue the city might sing different tune on abeyance.
Had the pleasure of voting Cooper out when he lost his seat years ago. The Dems turned on him. For some reason, he has crawled back. Even his mother called my home the night before he lost and had to tell her we needed rid of him. This guy is like a bad case of Hemroids.
Sue them into bankruptcy.
Unconscionable. Outrageous. Despicable.
I’m not at all shocked. Are you really shocked?
Im shocked that it was reported in the local Nashville news.
I tho’t the same thing.
Beg pardon, but are there no Republicans in this country willing to call out behaviors such as this?
Uniparty. Of course. Silly me.
Everything is shady.
A week before school was supposed to start, my county health department declared that middle and high school could only open with half the kids there on any given day. So we went from full time in person to in person two days a week.
I wrote to the health department asking for the data they used to make that decision. No response. Nothing from the mayor, county council, town council either. And I am in a mostly republican area.
The only person who responded – the school superintendent.
Our mayor is a democrat. She is less than useless. I am seriously considering figuring out the recall process. Incompetent or evil, doesn’t matter. She’s gotta go.
Here in the People’s Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we are told there are 17 communities with “covid spikes” pushing many of them into the “Red Zone” category.
How many cases constitute a spike? No one is told.
What benchmarks constitute a Red Zone? No one is told.
Who is making these determinations? No one is told.
In lieu of reporting scary-looking infographics get broadcast nightly, along with “man on the street interviews” pushing the “people who refuse to wear masks are bad” and “parties are socially irresponsible” memes.
And yes, school openings in Red Zones are being delayed because of the non-specific “spikes.”
Meanwhile, the state-wide average of new daily cases remains at or below 400, where it as been for months now, with all other major indicators (hospitalizations, ICU patients, deaths, etc) stable.
How is possible to have “spikes” when the overall numbers are slowly declining?
No one is told.
Are there any ‘spikes’ in hospitalizations or deaths or are these ‘spikes’ the result of testing uncovering people who are symptomatic?
No increase in deaths. There have been about 70 new hospitalizations in the last three reported days, which is a bit higher than what the state has been averaging since the beginning of August, yet the total number of hospitalizations remains around what it has averaged over that same time period.
Whatever the purported “spikes” are in the so-called “hot spots” seem to be offset by case decreases in other areas and/or are relatively minor. State-wide averages remain within the range they have maintained for most of the summer.
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-response-reporting#covid-19-daily-dashboard-
CASES MEAN NOTHING! We need to call them out on this. Cases include positive antibody tests, which mean you have already had the disease and recovered.
Nobody has ever even defined what a case is, as far as I can tell.
As soon as a demoncrat say cases, cut them off and say cases mean nothing. How many deaths? How many hospitalizations.

But the delay in opening schools, “remote learning,” cancellation of athletics, etc is completely driven by scientific data and not at all by teacher unions’ political goals and animus towards vulgarian Trump supporters…
Citizens’ demand for the teachers’ unions:
No teach in classroom = no pay for teachers.
Let the teachers themselves decide if they want to get paid or not.
The “union” is pretty toothless in our county, but I can tell you this straight from someone that eats dinner with me every night and also is in charge of virtual learning for 1st grade at one elementary school in SWFL. The parents are (now) so sick of supervising their brats all day long that about 2 per day have gone back to the physical classroom. Out of about 150 total in the grade, about 25 (1/3rd) are left doing distance and 5 doing state virtual. Obviously, the parents that opted for this remote crap (Karens and Dicks) thought that the kiddies would be surfing the net all day with their brand new Chromebooks while they did meth or weed and that they or their siblings wouldn’t get totally busted doing their 1st grader’s work.
Take it for what you will, but the parents that demanded remote teaching the loudest are apparently reading at the 3rd grade level, based on their kid’s early forged work. I see it as a whole collection of CNN/MSDNC/etc. viewers that went along with this kabuki and yelled the loudest at the county commission meetings. The parents have problems, the kids have problems, and that cycle just keeps going.
When we come through this hell on earth, For we must prevail, it will feel so gooooood.
Listen to this (originally used in an aus tourist info commercial), be inspired and uplifted.
With love treepers.

I always wanted to visit Australia. Until I learned that they are pulling people out of cars for not wearing masks and jailing people for the same reason. Pity that they seem to have gone over to the dark side.
Rhoda, don’t let it get to you. Listen again…?
Unfortunately,Aires rock is no longer allowed to be walked on because of the Aboriginals who apparently don’t need the tourist dollars that it generated.They sponge off us instead.
I get it Clive, but the world is still beautiful and the music and lyrics here temporarily tales us to the way life should be – 16 more years of Trump type leadership and we get there.
“Live best your life”
I give in, wordpress will be the death of me?
“live your best life”
Years ago, Taller Half and I spent a splendid three weeks in New Zealand. It looked like this, taking helicopters to the top of Mount Cook to have Champagne and throwing snowballs, grabbing a pilot and an open side chopper up to explore Milford Sound. Ferrying between the North and South islands…the Shotover boats in Queenstown. Sail gliding off the back of a cruiser there. Such a beautiful experience.
Like it was yesterday! Many thanks Johnny B!
Funny, though…I am now looking for a place to steal away to for a Birthday celebration in late October…and I am weeding through Covid rules, regs, onsite restaurants closed…not easy!
Will try the least shut down! With foliage!
Evening WSB, I hope that you find somewhere. Maybe take an RV, maybe rough it. Whatever you decide, enjoy it.
We have one life, live it.
And by the way, thanks always for liking so many of my comments, it does not go unnoticed, I read always on here, and comment little. If I didn’t have the Wpress blues I would offer many many likes to so many of your great comments, no joshing? Peace

Ha! TY, JB!!! Ride through the rough WP. It is is infuriating to navigate but march on we must!
I hope the 675,000 people who live in Nashville consider a massive class action lawsuit.
Serious question – what redress do citizens have against their corrupt
city/state officials other than to wait years to vote them out?
This guy would fit in nicely with the petty tyrants down under in Victoria, Australia.
Yes,it seems that New South Wales is the only state that has any brains at all.They are the only state that aren’t”Woke”The rest are useless and should all be in jail.
Mayors. Apparently, all over the country, Dem mayors saw their chance at POWER when the plandemic came to town. They aren’t Senators or Reps, but by God, they are going to weld their newfound power as a mayor! That’s why ALL elections are important this year…essential….clear down from POTUS to the local dog catcher. Vote OUT all power hungry leftist Marxists.
…Romanian people(Dec.1989) did not wait for election….
Now what will really piss off all Americans is when they learned the tests are rigged whereby over sensitive and thus huge false positives.
The virus is real but not much worst than the flu unless one has underlying serious conditions.
Protect the elderly and allow people to choose if they wish hydroxychloroquine + zinc + zpak as a prophylactic treatment.
The biggest fraud in the history of this country.
Agree, 1000% Bogey. I only wish more state/local reporters would deep dive into CCP-flue tests. My heart aches for the small, independent business owners who have lost their entire business due to this “…biggest fraud in the history of this country.”
I would like to know how many people that tested positive for Covid-19 also had a flu shot last year. Both Dr. Fauci and Former VP Biden predicted a ‘pandemic’ in Sept (Fauci) and Oct (Biden) in 2019. Too many asymptomatic positive people. Just thinking out loud, but it would be an interesting statistic.
I saw this recently from James Corbet. Not exactly a statistical study but there does appear to be a correlation between Covid infections and flu shots. Apparently having a flu shot that does NOT contain the variant that is circulating (often the case) makes you more susceptible to variants that ARE circulating.

…biggest fraud in the history of the world.
Fix it:)
No. I still think the Global Warming/Climate Change (and whatever other names they’ve come up with) is the biggest hoax. At least the Chinese Lung Rot was a real, if over hyped, disease that was dangerous to a segment of the world’s populations.
Democrats seem to want to re-create the Roman idea of existence.
Either you were a Citizen or a Slave.
If a Citizen, were you a Patrician or a Plebeian?
Patricians belonged to the Privileged Governing Class of Citizens.
Plebeians belonged to the General Class of Ordinary Citizens.
Democrats see themselves as Patricians.
Classical, Libertarian/Liberal, Americans, see only Plebeians. Everyone is an Equal Citizen.
What differentiates Americans from all others in the World, in Principle, is that All Citizens are Equal under the Law. Thus speaks the Constitution. That is why America is NOT a Democracy, but it IS a Constitutional, Representative, Republic. Rule of Law, not Mob Rule.
Democrats and Modern Liberals/Progressives would destroy the Constitution, Rule by Fiat from Above by the Anointed, and Enslave the People, “For Their Own Good”, as decided by their “Betters”. Power is everything. Nothing Matters except Power. Power Lust is their God.
Modern Globalists are little different from Democrats, except that Money and Power are their Gods.
Greed is their God. Power is a means to Wealth and Wealth is a means to Power.
America has to make critical choices, and that right soon.
Remove Power back to the People, Take Responsibility, and Become Citizens. Or.
Cede that Power forever to the Ruling Class and become Slaves. There isn’t any middle ground.
Please Vote as if Your Life, the Lives of your Family, Your Nation, and Your Future, depend on it.
Because it Does.
Yesssss this??Cowboy 79
Pennsylvania Judge ruled the governor’s COVID 19 rules were tyrannical and violated personal rights.
Still think Democrats are going to triumph electorally in November?
https://in.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-usa-idINKBN2662V5
Democrats are going to ignore the judge’s ruling. They love judges and courts, when the ruling goes their way. Otherwise they hold them in contempt, as they do citizens, and the USA in general
I live 20 miles south of Nashville in Williamson County. Nashville is in Davidson County, and because of various “mergers” of communities in Davidson County, essentially the Mayor of Nashville runs the whole county.
The difference in approach to the virus in the two counties has been stark. Essentially, our county has been trying to get back to normal as quickly as seems smart. I was able to get a haircut way back in mid May. We’ve had open restaurants since late May. Masks in public spaces are optional — stores that require them are following store policy, not government. Our schools are open and football is being played.
But up in East Berlin — I mean Nashville — it’s like they’ve been frozen in time in April. No in person schools. No football. No attendance allowed and Vanderbilt or Titans games. The tourist industry is dead. Nashville is losing hundreds of millions of $$$.
The mayor of Nashville has been appeasing the progressives since his campaign for office. The radical Left controls him. Oh — and BTW — his brother is leftist Congressman Jim Cooper, who used to proudly claim to be a “blue dog” Dem….but in last few years has gotten on the progressive Bandwagon.
There was nothing about this story in today’s morning Tennessean newspaper. I’ll pay attention to this evening’s local news casts to see if any of them pick up on this story, and of course, if the FOX affiliate, Ch 17 who broke the news, does any followup. I’ll post later tonite to let everyone know what did, or did not, get reported.
Jail. Who’s going to jail? Who’s getting raided by some authorities?
Oh come on you guys….We all know the Mayor had “No Intent”…He just had a “Lack of Candor”……
As recently as August 31, Pence’s task force was recommending that Missouri close its bars and have a state-wide mask mandate. Every state Pence visits seems to have a mask mandate afterward. Trump needs to put Scott Atlas in charge and end this nonsense.
Here’s hoping legal action with a swift resolution is brought against this government body.
While the left is in the streets falsely screaming that trump is a dictator and tyrant, their own team is literally ruling like a tyrant…
Tragic, but thank God it was brought into the light.
If these government officials had their way, no one would have ever known…
Ben Shapiro is moving from the frying pan ? into the fire ?
No city is honest.
Time to bring back the guillotines…?

It is all an IO ( Information Operation ) all of it, the good and the bad from your perspective and from everyone else`s too.
Peaks and troughs of incandescence, revulsion, joy, excitement, they are literally counting on our behaviour.
It is the essential ingredient to make it more believable.
Anticipated positive, negative responses are all woven into the illusion, so to speak, pre responses even pre stimuli perhaps and then the information seems more organic in origin so it gets past more peoples BS metres
Sneaky freaking stuff man, that is totally fubar.
The Founders never intended people who wanted to kill you, destroy your livelihood and waste your property being elected to public office,and for good reason.. Otherwise they would have given us better ways to get rid of Public Servants Gone Wild.
AG Barr, charge the Nashville Mayor and his advisors with human rights abuse charges. Make an example out of this a**hole.
“America land of the free”, sounds like a punch line to a bad joke after watching that.
there’s a clip thats a bit longer where the lady filming goes on a bit of a rant. but yeh…watching that is stomach turning to say the least. this was apparently at a school board meeting somewhere in south dakota of all places.
Interesting.
I vacationed in Nashville last year. Out in the open drug dealing & use was visible. I asked a police officer about it and he passed he/officers on the street were directed not to go after these people. Guess who he pointed to as the source of the direction? The mayor.
All of the cities that are burning and holding their people down are doing the same thing. It is like they want us to live like the Mexicans. With rampant crime in our cities. The cartels running the show. They have given their/our cities up to the criminals and they did this long ago, they just accelerated all of it into overdrive in the last few years, and especially this year.
It isn’t going to end well.
These are bully tactics being used by these Democratic leaders plain and simple. And the reason they’re doing it is simply because it works and they have no qualms about pushing to get what they want.
It’s been said over and over at this site, one again I repeat; until we the people show up in big big numbers at the town hall, the major’s office and just say no we ain’t gonna do what you say these unprincipled leaders will continue.
I honestly wish “our side” had more pro active leaders the kind that is able to rally folks to stand together at the local level.
How can we expect the President to do it all.
True…where are GOP Senators and Congress People barking down these tyrants throats?
The we the people don’t have any they’re all Uniparty.
All these Red States are so Red and free.
Even red states have blue jungles.
Unfortunately, those jungles often rule the state through intimidation.
