Infuriating people appears to be the intent of media which we once deemed credible. Here is an example. It might be time to tune out of outlets that care more about enraging their audience than to actually inform.

How Media is Creating a Fake “Second Wave”
The truth is that the Wuhan-Coronavirus was nowhere near as deadly or contageous as initially feared. Nevertheless, the draconian measures to “flatten the curve” have still not been fully retracted and some politicians are even doibling down and adding pointless new restrictions, at exactly the wrong time.
Right now (in the summer) is the best time to get exposed to the virus and build immunity, if you haven’t already been exposed during the last nine months anyway. Having to fight Sars-Cov2/Covid-19 in addition to the seasonal influenza in fall or winter, when the natural conditions are more favorable to a virus than in the summer, presents a substantially bigger challenge for the immune system.
Meanwhile, mainstream media is preoccupied with instilling fear of a “second wave.” The irony is that preventing exposure now (by keeping up distancing etc), could make the ominous “second wave” a self-fulfilling prophecy. The best approach right now is to take a look at the actual numbers and relax.

Memphis Abolishes No-Knock Warrants
This step deserves applause as so-called no-knock warrants put the lives of both police officers and residents at risk.
When a no-knock warrant is issued, police break into a residence without announcing their presence. To individuals inside the residence, this act is indistinguishable from a violent home invasion by a burglar, putting the life of the resident(s) at immediate risk.
The Memphis police department now announced that is ending this dangerous and constitutionally questionable practice. Other police departments have also abandoned the practice and some never used it in the first place.

Potential for Federal Reciprocity?
While the federal government has passed many laws over the years which encroached upon authority given to the states by the Constitution, federal reciprocity would not constitute such overreach. In fact, article 4, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly requires recognition of all states’ acts by all other states (also known as the “full faith and credit clause”). Hence, not having federal reciprocity is actually contrary to the Constitution.
While legislation to acknowledge firearms carry permits in all 50 states, the same way such recognition exists for drivers licenses, has stalled in the past, many citizens are concerned about their safety now, given recent events. Support for federal reciprocity legislation may thus well be growing.
One can Spin Even Good News to Sound Scary, and for Covid, Mainstream Media Loves to do That, but we Don’t Have to Fall for it.
Luckily for America, the World and Many Innocent People, Trump did not Take Bolton’s Advice – Which Bolton is Still Grumpy About
John Bolton, one of the establishment warhawks in Washington, was prepared to kill innocent people. Trump wasn’t. The fact that President Trump is actually more opposed to military adventures than his past several predecessors, is something the establishment is unwilling to forgive him for. Bolton in particular vents his anger about the President’s refusal to take his advice in his memoirs. But all of us are better off because of Trump’s decision.

The Hypocricy of Lockdowns
Ask yourself: If you cannot get the Wuhan-Coronavirus at a BLM rally, can you get it at a family gathering, a funeral, wedding, church service, cafe?
Mayors and governors across the country support the recent mass protests and encourage people to attend, while keeping shutdown measures and restrictions in place for other venues, businesses and occasions. The problem is that viruses don’t care about the reason for people being in each other’s proximity.
Hence, if the virus is dangerous, so is attending a mass gathering. If attending a mass gathering is safe, so is running your business without a mask, going to work, having a party or attending a religious service.
As the mass protests of the last few weeks have shown, the Covid-restrictions were and are unnecessary. Keeping them in place now, despite the evidence, serves oppression and control, not safety.
This also means that if you are still worried about the Coronavirus, it may be time to relax.

The Attempt to Reduce Deaths Through Shutdowns is Counterproductive
New research shows that the lockdown measures many governments implemented to “flatten the curve” have backfired and lead to more premature deaths.
The logical conclusion is to learn from the mistake and end the restrictions.
