That’s just the good stuff.

If you don’t think it can happen here in America, ask yourself: On January 25, 2020, did you ever think you could be imprisoned in your home, be made to wear an article of clothing across your face, be fined or imprisoned for running an un-approved business and see a corrupt, racist dementia patient assemble “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Delta Airlines paid for the services off CNN Newsource, CNN’s fake news division (yes there is such a department) to issue a press release and brag about having banned 460 customers from flying on their airline again for having apparently mouth back to the waitress or driver about having to endure the face diaper and inhale their own carbon dioxide for an hours-long flight.

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/10/26/delta-bans-460-anti-maskers-from-flying/

I took the opportunity to send Delta a strongly-worded e-mail:

Corporate media is reporting that your airline is banning 450 “anti-maskers.”

I haven’t flown on your airline, or any airline for that matter since 2017, since a flight from Buffalo to Atlanta in which a TSA security guard shoved his hands down my pants (as if just being in Buffalo wasn’t enough). Since then, my wife and I have driven EVERYWHERE. Back in July when he had to travel from Orlando to Michigan for a funeral for my wife’s aunt, all four of us (myself, my wife and our two dogs), put everything we needed into my F-150 and pointed the truck north on I-75. 

When we stopped for fuel and for food, we did NOT put on our face diapers. Fortunately, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky were respites from the mask crap.

I defy you to explain to me how that stupid piece of cloth across my face is helping ANYBODY when the very act of exhaling fogs up my sunglasses. And I suppose you have a logical, scientific explanation for me about how the face diaper stops the China Flu when I take it off to eat and drink? Is there some period of protection that one is afforded with if you eat and drink, so long as you were wearing the diaper before and put it back on immediately after?

The airlines have scammed HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS off the American taxpayer in the past 20 years. Over 25-billion of that since this hoax began in March. I was laid off from my job with one of the larger inter-city bus companies back in March because my employer didn’t get a bailout from Uncle Sucker to drive empty buses (or one or two people on the bus) back and forth across the country.

And in gratitude for the largesse you have extracted from us, the security guards, waitresses and drivers have been downright abusive towards your few paying customers. Not Just Delta, but ALL of the airlines.

So go ahead. I’ve given you my name and address. Ban me. Now. Put me on the TSA no-fly list. Because I can assure you there is absolutely NOWHERE I need to fly to. And if I can’t drive there, I guess I won’t be going. You couldn’t PAY ME to step on to an airplane. 

And you’ll notice that our Republican senate has not paid Queen Nancy’s ransom and you haven’t gotten any more bailout candy since April. We intended to keep it that way. 

I hope every single airline goes bankrupt and all of you join the other half of the country on the unemployment lines. Flying has been a miserable experience for decades, but now you’ve put the ship into hyper-drive. 

Congratulations. We’re done with you. 

Graham Media (formerly Washington Post) and WKMG-Channel 6, Orlando’s lowest-rated and least-watched newscast, continues to get results as it continues on destroying the economy of Central Florida and the United States in the name of “getting Trump.”

Your humble correspondent has been getting numerous “text polls” lately.

It has come to my attention that Trump supporters have been lying to the pollsters and claiming to be Biden supporters, thus giving Democrats and over-inflated sense of confidence.

I am always happy to do my part.

Oh, and, uh, Miss Occasional Cortex..

Sen. Kamala Harris came to Orlando on Monday and encouraged Floridians to vote early to “put our country back on the right track.”

The Democratic candidate for vice president held an outdoor, drive-in rally at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, where invited guests in about 50 cars honked their horns in approval as she and others spoke on the first day of early voting in the state.

“Orlando!” Harris exclaimed. “Look at what my eyes behold.”

“Today I had to come here on the kickoff of early voting in Florida because y’all are going to make it happen,” she said. “What you will do here in Florida and Orlando by early voting, you will be the first to put our country back on the right track.”

MIAMI, FL – This is what support looks like.  Miami police estimated that there were approximately 30,000 vehicles that participated in a vehicle parade, comprised of  Latinos in south Florida,  and showed their support for President Donald J. Trump.  Many of the participants migrated to the US from Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

They (the migrants), of all people, know what socialism looks like.  They lived it firsthand.  They felt the impact of communist rule. They understand the lifelong damage that these types of governmental atrocities bring.  For many, it was the reason they left their home countries for a better life in the United States. 

Now they find themselves just slightly more than 3 weeks away from a presidential election.  Socialism is on the ballot, in the form of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the “progressive” liberal ideology they want to force down the throats of the American people.

Hundreds of thousands of residents in Orlando and Orange County remain unemployed as Lockdown Jerry Demings continues to sabotage any recovery in the hopes that voters will take their anger out on President Trump and Republicans and re-elect his partner-in-corruption, congress-critter wife Valdez “Val” Demings

Not satisfied with sending his “Strike Teams” to bars, restaurants, gas stations, stores and other small businesses, Demings’ health tyrants are now sinking their teeth into a new victim in an attempt to shut them down: the county’s theme parks (primarily Sea World, Universal Studios and the Big Kahuna: Walt Disney World.

The Parks are barely hanging on. They have laid off tens of thousands of staff and are employing a skeleton crew to keep things running. Yet the response of the incompetent Demings is to send his bureaucrats in to make sure the parks are enforcing “social distancing” and the very mask orders nullified by Governor DeSantis.

The Walt Disney Company has laid off over 32,000 workers: 28,000 in Anaheim, where Democrats have kept Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure shackled since March and other 4,000 at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

It’s still summer in Florida and Jerry Demings won’t be happy until customers and staff have dropped dead with their face diapers on in tropical heat and humidity. The Demings won’t be happy until every last worker in Orlando and Orange County is out of work, even the largest employers are bankrupt and left to rust and everybody is collecting welfare (which doesn’t exist in Florida) and left dependent and at the mercy of a tyrannical Democrat government.

The minimum wage in Florida is less than $9 per hour, but as a couple who have become multi-millionaires since Val went to the District of Criminals in 2016, the Demings needn’t burden themselves with such unpleasantness.

In short, the Demings and the Democrats won’t be happy until Orlando, Orange County, Florida and the entire United States look just like California.

Why Republican governor Ron DeSantis and Florida’s Republican-majority state house and senate continues to allow this disaster and obvious sabotage by corrupt Democrat municipal politicians like Jerry Demings is a very good question indeed.

https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/orange-county-strike-teams-target-theme-parks-not-following-cdc-guidelines

ORLANDO, Fla. – Orange County leaders are cracking down on businesses not following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Now they have a new area of focus: theme parks.

The Orange County strike teams will start doing surprise checks at area theme parks. This is a county-wide effort going on for several weeks now.

“So far over 3,600, to be precise 3,620, different business sites have been visited,” said Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings.

Mayor Demings gave an update on the county’s strike teams on Monday that are working to ensure businesses are being compliant with CDC guidelines — most recently focusing in on businesses along Goldenrod and Curry Ford Road.

Now the teams are hitting the major attractions.

“In addition to smaller businesses, the strike teams will be once again visiting major theme parks unannounced very soon.”

Mayor Demings says the strike teams have been going out for more than two months.

The county says they’ve done about 450 follow-up inspections.

Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, stopped by Central Florida to campaign for her husband on Friday..

The Women for Biden event was held at a private home in Lake Mary. The longtime educator’s speech focused on education.

She also encouraged people to go out and vote as early voting is set to begin. Grace Nelson, the wife of former senator Bill Nelson, also spoke at the event. 

At the same time, President Donald Trump also campaigned in Florida. He held a rally in Ocala.

Dr. Biden’s visit was short as she headed to St. Pete for another event Friday.

OCALA, Fla. – President Donald Trump is predicting a “red wave” of Republican voting in Florida.  

Most polls show a close race in the important battleground state that both the Republican incumbent and Democrat Joe Biden are courting heavily.  

Addressing a campaign rally Friday in Ocala, Trump reminded thousands of supporters that “I live here, too.” He recently switched his legal residence from New York.  

“Doctor.”

“Biden.”

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Event at a private home vs rally in front of thousands. But Biden is really ahead in the polls and Trump will never catch up.

Yeah, sure. Whatever

https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/popular-lake-county-christmas-tree-farm-business-harassed-over-mask-policy

Poor Tom and Jodi Utsman. They own a Christmas tree farm in the central Florida town of Eustis. They also sell pumpkins in October.

Orlando’s WOFL-Fox 35 TV news reported on the insufferable “harassment” this couple has been receiving due to their business’s mask policy.

“It really has been quite heartbreaking,” said owner Jodi Utsman.“It’s really upsetting,” her husband, Tom Utsman said.

So, what’s going on? Are people calling them leaving them nasty phone messages? Throwing rocks through their windows? Running them off the road? Yelling at them at the supermarket? Well, no. Not exactly…

The Utsmans are getting such pushback on their mask requirement, they posted on Facebook about it.

“Basically, we don’t want to hide our policy. We are not trying to hide our policy and we want everybody to know we are serious about our policy,” Jodi explained.

It sounds like your potential customers are just as serious about NOT being your customers why why they are NOT being your customers. And they are using the outlet YOU have provided them to let you know that.

The couple says their employees have been wearing masks on the farm since March. So when they decided to reopen a few weeks ago, they wanted customers to do so as well.

“We’re in the middle of a fake pandemic! We’re all miserable. We’re making ourselves miserable and goddammit we’re going to make you miserable, too! Because we’re all in this together!”

“When the guest buys their tickets online, they tick a box that says they’re going to mask when they come and we were all quite comfortable with that,” Jodi said.

There are also signs posted at the entrance and throughout the farm. But despite the clear rules, the couple says people have been breaking them.

“We never thought we would have a problem with people coming in and defying us on purpose,” Tom told FOX 35 News.

“You vill obey! Ve have signs! Ve have signs, you vill follow dem!”

“We have a very young staff and sometimes they have to ask grown people over and over again to put their mask on,” Jodi said.

That’s a pretty stupid position to be putting your workers in. Even the big box stores are telling their staff to NOT confront their customers who choose not to follow the face diaper mandates.

The Utsmans say they’ve had families leave and been trashed in reviews but they’re sticking to their mask policy loud and clear.

Good. I would do the same thing. I wouldn’t spend my money in a business that fancied itself a sole-remaining extraterritorial possession of East Germany.

“We are not asking anyone to change their beliefs on masking. We are just asking you to stay home if you are going to come on your property and not wear a mask,” Jodi said.

Do your banker and your accountant know you are deliberately trying to destroy your business by telling potential customers to get lost?

Eustis is in Lake County, one of the lucky counties in Florida where there is no “mask order.” So customers have every right to enter the business. Furthermore, a business has no right to put a customer’s health and safety in danger by requiring them to wear a device which inhibits the free intake of oxygen.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-each-central-florida-county-requires-doesn-e2-80-99t-require-for-face-masks/ar-BB15QYdA

The Utsmans are either too stupid or too oblivious to know that their customers are sending them a message: “We know it’s a hoax, we know the mask is useless and we’re not going along with it.

The customers are saying, “Hell, no! We’re NOT wearing a face diaper in hot, humid, tropical Florida weather.”

https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/12/cdc-study-finds-overwhelming-majority-of-people-getting-coronavirus-wore-masks/

It has been estimated that over 100,000 small business have either gone bankrupt or otherwise never coming back since the lockdown / shutdown / crackdown which started in March, 2020. The Utsmans should be thanking God almighty that their little farm is still in business.

Instead, they choose to impose a tyrannical, unhealthy and – most importantly – unnecessary “mask order” on their paying customers. Customers who just want to go out for a day of family fun and leave this nonsense at home.

They should have taken a hint from their Facebook messages, recognized that this was a hoax and used the opportunity to market themselves as “mask-free.” Instead, they decided to whine to whatever Orlando corporate media outlet would listen. And a soft-news J-school graduate at Fox 35 picked it up and headed out with a minicam.

The Utsmans have a Facebook presence. It’s a two-way street. If they are lousy businesspeople, they are going to get pushback. If they don’t like that, they should stay off of Facebook.

Frankly, if they are this tone-deaf to the demands of their customers, then they don’t deserve to be in business in the first place.

Developers looking for cheap land should keep an eye on this situation. There will be a Christmas tree farm coming up for sale shortly if the Utsmans keep this up.

WKMG Channel 6, owned by Graham Media (formerly the Washington Post) and named for the late publisher Katharine Meyer Graham, is Orlando’s most liberal (now approaching Marxist) and thus lowest rated news television station. They are dumb enough to allow comments on all of their articles.

An article advertising the schedule for the upcoming National Felons’ League broadcast season brought out comments which were almost unanimously indifferent to anything NFL. Other than a comment that called out everybody else in favor of a boycott as racist (of course), and another that insisted that football was still popular (based on previous seasons; another comment called out), the rest of the commenters didn’t give a shit.

And these were just the comments that were allowed to stay up, or that weren’t shadow banned by users oblivious to the fact that their work is not being seen by others.

And the three top comments, in the opinion of your humble correspondent:
