It’s not the problem; it’s how you react to it. So goes the aphorism, and 2020 exemplifies it. All the sum-ups of the year past proclaimed that COVID-19 made it the worst year of the century, and maybe it was. If so, it wasn’t because of the virus; it was government’s reaction to it — shutting down virtually everything. Many now believe those shutdowns have caused more suffering and death than the virus has.

By the end of last year, evidence to support that contention multiplied, but not enough for big government or its mainstream media spokespeople to acknowledge it. Instead, they’ve doubled down on fear hype. In September, the CDC reported that the under-69 population of those infected had more than a 99.5 percent chance of surviving it. So why the continued shutdowns?

Did you submit this while watching coverage of the INSURRECTION and then not even mention it!? I wonder.

Biden and Trump are both Elderly and seperated in age by a mere 2 years! LOL yet Biden is "aged"? So funny! And McLaughlin also drops the "Dr." when referring to DR. Fauci, only to show his low regard for the man while making sure to remind us AGAIN about his time hanging out in DC in the 70s/80s; oh whatever, we get it, you don't have to do that version of name dropping so you can feel Better Than.

Trump lost the election because enough Americans came to realize that he represents a clear danger to our Republic. His dangerous lies, rank corruption, monumental incompetence, hatred and vengeance have shaken the foundation of our nation. McLaughlin has been complicit, albeit in a very small/local way, in enabling this.
