Let’s Go Brandon - 2022<br />

By Michael Barron,<br />

BLUES Publisher<br />

Looking back on 2021, it was a<br />

shit-show in Washington. Whether<br />

you’re a democrat or a republican,<br />

voted for Joe or not, there’s<br />

no denying this man is totally incompetent<br />

and should not running<br />

our country.<br />

When they coined the phrase<br />

“the most powerful man in the<br />

world” they almost certainly did<br />

not ever imagine Joe Biden would<br />

be ‘that man.’<br />

Rather than go on and on detailing<br />

all Joe’s blundering acts in<br />

2021, I’ll just offer my insight and<br />

opinion on one aspect of his 12<br />

months in office – COVID.<br />

This whole pandemic has been<br />

a giant cluster in my opinion. It’s<br />

certainly divided us AGAIN. The<br />

Vaxers vs the non-Vaxers. The believers<br />

and non-believers. Maskers’<br />

vs non-Maskers.<br />

I firmly believe everyone is entitled<br />

to his or her choice when<br />

it comes to COVID. If you want<br />

to take a chance on not getting<br />

vaccinated, then that should be<br />

your right. <strong>No</strong> government agency,<br />

be it National, State or Local<br />

should have the right or the power<br />

to force you to decide on what<br />

medical procedure or preventative<br />

medicine to take. That decision<br />

should be yours and yours alone.<br />

But Uncle Joe, the left-wing<br />

nut jobs in Congress and a moron<br />

named Fauci, think they have the<br />

right to force you to ‘follow the<br />

science’ and do it their way. For<br />

the last two years, America has<br />

gone along with ‘their way’ and as<br />

a result we’ve lost 577 officers due<br />

to COVID. It’s obvious that ‘their<br />

way’ isn’t working.<br />

I’m no expert and I do not have<br />

all the answers. But having been in<br />

law enforcement all these years,<br />

I’m smart enough to gather the<br />

facts and determine what is real<br />

and what isn’t. This is what I believe<br />

to be the truth:<br />

1. This pandemic and the COVID<br />

virus are real. How it became<br />

about is certainly important and<br />

of course we as a nation need to<br />

get to the bottom of it and punish<br />

those involved in the event it was<br />

Yes Joe, we’re still here.<br />

intentional.<br />

2. Both parties of our government<br />

have handled the pandemic<br />

as if it were a political football<br />

rather than the crisis it is. Many<br />

good things were in fact done in<br />

2020 by then President Trump.<br />

He cut through all the BS and red<br />

tape and ordered Pharma to come<br />

up with a vaccine by the end of<br />

2020 and they did. The reason they<br />

did was money. The government<br />

paid trillions of dollars to the big<br />

Pharma companies to create a<br />

drug in months that would have<br />

taken years if it weren’t for the<br />

money.<br />

3. Some believe that the vaccines<br />

“What in the hell am I doing here? I need to go back to the basement!”<br />

are dangerous and it’s a world<br />

order to cleanse the world of its<br />

growing population. This growing<br />

group believes that in two years<br />

everyone who has been vaccinated<br />

(2/3s of the earths population)<br />

will die. Mass genocide. That’s<br />

why they won’t get vaccinated.<br />

4. These same individuals also<br />

believe that hundreds of thousands<br />

that have taken the vaccine<br />

have died as a result. In other<br />

words, the vaccine killed them<br />

not COVID. In our cover story this<br />

month, 577 officers died of COVID<br />

in 2020 and 2021. I’ve had people<br />

tell me they all died because they<br />

were vaccinated. NO! They died<br />

because they weren’t vaccinated<br />

and most had some underlying<br />

medical condition. NONE died as a<br />

result of being vaccinated.<br />

5. What I do believe is that there<br />

are members of congress including<br />

Uncle Joe, that are using this<br />

pandemic to further their own<br />

agenda. As long as they can continue<br />

to scare Americans, they can<br />

control them and manipulate their<br />

daily lives.<br />

6. I believe this pandemic may<br />

in fact last years. The Bird Flu of<br />

1918 lasted 2 years and killed 50<br />

million people worldwide before<br />

it finally dwindled to a few hundred<br />

cases a year. We can not let<br />

any pandemic control our lives or<br />

cause us to live in fear of simply<br />

going outside. Or going to the grocery<br />

store or church. You should<br />

be free to decide what your own<br />

destiny is. If you believe in getting<br />

vaccinated, then do it. If not, then<br />

that’s your decision. But if you get<br />

COVID or whatever the next damn<br />

disease will be, you owe it to your<br />

fellow human beings to stay away<br />

from them and protect them from<br />

you. That is YOUR responsibility.<br />

You don’t need any government<br />

agency ordering you to quarantine.<br />

You should have enough common<br />

sense and common decency to do<br />

that on your own.<br />

7. Finally, Uncle Joe needs to<br />

use the money he conned out<br />

of Congress to send a test kit to<br />

every man, woman and child in<br />

America. In fact, send them 2 or 3<br />

or as many as they require to test<br />

themselves as often as necessary<br />

to prevent them from unknowingly<br />

spreading COVID. Make all drugs<br />

FREE and readily available to anyone<br />

who tests positive. If preventive<br />

drugs become available, then<br />

they should be free as well.<br />

All of this is my opinion which<br />

I have a right to express. Each of<br />

you has a right to disagree and<br />

provide your own insight into<br />

what should or should not be<br />

done. That’s what is great about<br />

America. The right of free speech<br />

and expression. We also should<br />

have the right as Americans to<br />

choose our own fate and decide<br />

what’s best for us and our family.<br />

But that freedom doesn’t give you<br />

the right to infect other Americans.<br />

Be responsible & Be Safe.<br />
