I’ll Probably Have Chicken Tacos Today

Current Mood: Dark, very, very dark.

You might even say ‘fowl’

I’m sure I’ll snap out of it later, as I generally do. But it is more difficult when all the facts tend to bear out your inner dread. Specifically, these two stories; the first was posted by Sarah Hoyt:

 Were the lockdowns the worst public health decision in 100 years?

Which she posted with a question “Only 100 years?” and a comment – “But hey, it worked. They got to steal the election and take over our government” – followed by another question:

“How long will you tolerate this?”

The reality is we most likely don’t have all that long to decide according to Roger Kimball who wrote the foul mood article #2: 

For US, Gradual Ruin Is About to Become Sudden.

There is the passage in the house of H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People” bill, which would effectively assure that were was never another fair election in this country.

It would do this by all-but-obliterating voter ID requirements—you need an ID to board a plane but not cast a vote—mandating same-day voter registration and at least two weeks of early voting, and by requiring states to provide unsupervised drop boxes to receive completed ballots.

In other words, H.R. 1 would centralize presidential elections, taking responsibility for oversight away from the states, where the Constitution placed it, and arrogating it to the clutches of the federal government and its sprawling bureaucracy.

If, as seems almost certain, H.R. 1 becomes the law of the land, it would be the final nail in the coffin of electoral integrity.

It’s quite enough to put you off your good mood.

But since I have an appointment I don’t have time to dwell on it just yet. I’ll reserve that agony for later, maybe after I’ve had some tacos.
