Exactly! Because far too many people complied with government mandates and internalized the message delivered again, again, and again by their Lamestream Media, Covid-19 has, as I predicted 4 years ago, never really left us and probably won’t for the foreseeable future.
Plaga Ad Eternum – plague forever or the eternal plague – that’s the best way to describe COVID-19 or, at least, the Lamestream Media’s and certain political parties’ current spin on things. For exactly so long as it serves their purses or political aspirations, this disease will be with us, not only in fact but in reporting, browbeating, and carefully crafted countermeasures.
I’m still seeing many people wearing masks in public, and the Lamestream Media is still dutifully fulfilling their investors’ requirements of reporting on their “scary” upticks in Coronavirus infections. This, even though hospitalizations and deaths from COVID are increasingly inconsequential as the virus naturally adapts to better survive in a human host.
At Least There’s An Upside
Well, at least there’s the upside of them giving me an excuse to pull out and post some more Corona QTs. 😆

One really has to wonder at this point if this it and Biden’s done and is going to withdraw – or be forcibly withdrawn from the 2024 Presidential campaign by his fellow Democrats.
Right before the failed Trump Assassination Biden told reporters that the only way he’d withdraw from the race is if he had a serious medical condition. Then, essentially immediately following the failed removal of his political rival, he has been allegedly diagnosed with COVID-19 for the 3rd time in two years, and has cancelled critical political rallies before the DNC Convention in order to go into seclusion to convalesce at his home in Delaware.
I’m not much for conspiracies, being fond of Occam’s Razor, but that sounds like Biden’s done and the Dems are done with him, and a laudable face-saving rationale for Biden’s withdrawal has been set up and acted upon. It would be an “honorable” end to his career. It’d certainly be better than being coerced into just withdrawing at this point because too many key Dems believe he can’t win against President Trump. Alternatively, he – or Jill – might now believe that he can’t win against Trump in the wake of his decline and the failed assassination, believe that bowing out without truly conceding or being beaten is less galling and more protective of his legacy than any other option.
And, as crazy as times are now, let’s not completely refute the possibility of enough DNC delegates determining that, “in good conscience” they could not nominate Biden as the 2024 candidate, potentially jumping straight to Kamala Harris. That’s would be the ultimate refutation of- and insult to Biden.
The situation and the time are, after all, fairly suspicious. A man, beleaguered by his own supposed allies and constituents, who is fully vaccinated and boostered against COVID-19, contracts the disease 3 times in 2 years? Unless he’s severely immunocompromised, which his general good physical health doesn’t indicate, that’s a bit fishy, especially since there’s been no reports of COVID “hotspots” surrounding him. And, if he is that vulnerable to the disease, it’d be a valid reason for his withdrawal in the first place for the sake of his health, given that a POTUS dying or being incapacitated while in office is inherently vastly disruptive to the nation and world politics and economics.
So, is this it? Is Biden done? I give it only slightly less than an even chance that it’s over and he’s done. But, that’s based upon rational thought, which no longer seems to have much place in our political landscape.

Yeah, when it comes to cult leaders and their followers drinking the kool-Aid, Anthony Fauci has Jim Jones beat hands down. They’re not even close to being in the same league. 😉

It’s taken 4 long, brutal, soul-deadening years, but COVID is finally over. Oh, not the Coronavirus itself; we’ll be having mostly less lethal variants of that for however long Humanity lasts. But, what’s over is the Panicdemic, despite the occasional desperate and increasingly febrile jabberings of certain sorts.
A couple of months ago Biden’s CDC has ended it’s COVID-19 specific recommendations and guidelines, rolling COVID into the general Respiratory Illnesses Guidelines and relaxing their “guidance” on isolation, testing, and vaccine use. And, they did this because it was no longer politically viable for them to keep the panicdemic alive any longer.
So, barring some last ditch, desperate attempt to change the voting metrics in the upcoming 2024 elections – somewhat unlikely, but certainly possible – the whole COVID crap is finally over. And, quite sadly, that means the Corona Cuties are pretty much over too, fading into history alongside the debacle that created them.
Ah well. With the start of the pandemic and its surrounding, manufactured panicdemic we had to take the good with the bad, and now with its ending we have to let go of the good along with bad.

It’s a funny thing; I’m starting to hear a fair amount about COVID spike in America throughout social media, and a bit in the lamestream media as well. But, this is probably to be expected. With the Democrats’ poorly handled and persecutive lawfare against President Trump not having the effect that they want, a more and more damning evidence against Creepy Uncle Joe Biden coming to light, the Dems both need to distract the populace and lay the groundwork for lockdowns before the upcoming civil unrest.
Their trying to revitalize the largely moribund panicdemic, at least enough to “justify” later, more draconian actions without making it clear that they plan to use force to get their way this time, is to be expected. It follows the normal, well-trodden pathways of their sorts throughout history.
Or, maybe I’m wrong. Or, maybe I not wrong but I’m granting them to much credit for planning and foresight. I have stated that COVID 19 will be with us forever after all.
