SILLY SNOWFLAKES PANIC WHILE GOOD MEN ROLL UP SLEEVES

   So, we're into the first weekend of a National Panic Attack. On cue from the Media Hyenas, Americans by the thousands are stripping stores bare of bottled water, bath tissue, detergents, and over-the-counter Amphetamines, running to their Safe Spaces. It wasn't even this bad after the 9/11 Attacks---when for all we knew then, there could have been Al-Qaeda sleeper-cells ready to hit anywhere at any moment. And back in the Aged Grandpappy's time, the NFL didn't even suspend it's regular game-day on the Sunday that Pearl Harbor was attacked. For all they knew, Japanese bombers may have been incoming. 

    
     I was thinking the other day about how rough it's going to be for those guys who keep a damsel in the house if the stores run out of bath tissue. No XFL, NHL, or NBA but a weekend of listening to the Fair One's grievances---which you can do nothing to solve---is an unpleasant prospect. 

   Word to the wise: plenty of romantic restaurants and hotel getaways are still open---and unusually private because of the virus panic. While that might make for a more expensive weekend than usual: consider the alternative and act accordingly.
 
   Otherwise, against the backdrop of the Media-driven hysteria, however, Good Men are doing Good Things. I read this morning on Nox & Friends' blog a great article about the successful conclusion of Project Python. Project Python was a DEA operation aimed at a really rotten gang called the 'Cartel Jalisco New Generation'. And, wow, did the Feds clean house. The CJNG was pretty much obliterated. 600 of these scumbags are in jail (presumably with no toilet paper) and another 350 are running from the FBI, Interpol, and various other agencies on outstanding warrants. CJNG was until this week a major distributor of Meth from foreign sources trafficked into the US. 

    And while politicians are finger-pointing during this so-called crisis, Attorney Kasim Rashid---who's running for a Congressional seat in Virginia---began receiving anti-Moslem messages from a radicalized and Red-Pilled man named Oz Dillon, of Fredericksburg. Instead of running screaming to the press and police as most politicians would do; Rashid investigated and found that Dillon also had a GoFundMe page which read:

  "Our retirement savings is gone, and my wife's inheritance nearly so, due to the rising costs of my wife, and my medical care.   With an income, after taxes of $3,126 a month, or around $38k a year, we are literally broke, by the 23rd of each month.  This is the sole income we have.  If we can reach even half of what we are asking for, we will be able to at least squeak by each month, without having to go further into credit card debt, or touching my wife's inheritance. 

  "We still owe on her hospitalization for a double pulmonary embolism, that nearly cost her life, and subsequent frequent checkups and medications.  My insurance has doubled in cost, and covers less of our medical needs.  The house needs to be made Handicap Accessible due to wife's mobility issues.  She has no cartilage in her knees at all, and is a poor risk for surgery.   All of this is driving us into the poor house, where soon we will be forced to sell our home, if things do not turn around. It truly pains me to ask for help, but we are at out wits end in finding a solution that does not drive us deeper into debt. God bless to all who can help us out, in whatever way possible."

   Rashid realized that at the bottom of Dillon's radicalization lay a problem common to many men today: hoping to save his wife, Dillon's hands were tied by a brutalized system and forced into the humiliation of begging for alms. He donated enough to cover Dillon's expenses and encouraged his followers to do so---resulting in bills paid with a $20,000 surplus. Rashid responded as one real man to another; the Red-Pilled scales fell from Dillon's eyes, and he publicly repented of his earlier hateful statements. 

   “An amazing week of eye- and heart-opening enlightenment, that I used to always have before 9/11,” Dillon told the local press, “A Christian Muslim, Qasim Rashid, who I had previously opposed politically just because of the word Muslim, has opened my eyes that there are GOOD people in all walks of life. He shared our plight with his followers, who in turn donated nearly $1,000 dollars to help Terri and I get rid of this crushing debt. I owe him, and everyone in fact, a deep debt of gratitude, and pray you are all rewarded tenfold, for your generosity.”

   Rashid's really a pretty solid guy for a Democrat. You can't help but admire a guy who puts politics aside to help a brother in need. 

   And, after the COVID panic hit Columbus, Ohio and caused the cancellation of Arnold Schwarzneggar's annual body-building tournament, John Page---the manager of the Greater Columbus Convention Center--- found himself with enough food on hand to feed an estimated 200,000 spectators, he decided to load the edibles on trucks which then went to Tennessee to feed crews and families struck by last week's massive tornado. 

   “When the unique circumstances affecting the Arnold Sports Festival this year came to fruition, we were proud to be able to send excess food to assist Nashville residents impacted by true devastation while we focus our efforts here on supporting the Arnold Sports Festival in its revised format.” Page told the press. 

    Page, Rashid, and some good men in the DEA show up the Media lies that our nation is in free-fall. Good men are still out there, holding things together and getting the job done.
