All Business Are Essential - Time to Get Back to Normal

Today, my family and I drove over 50 miles to get an unauthorized haircut from a family member.  He owns a barbershop, and he met us behind locked doors to cut our hair.  How insane is that?  What has happened where we have to sneak around to get haircuts? It is time to open up the economy.  I have been concerned about the lockdown from the moment it was implemented.  I understand limiting large gatherings and even closing the schools.  But why is a liquor store more essential than a barbershop? We shut the economy down in order to "flatten the curve" and help smooth out the burden on our medical resources.  The curve is flattened.  In fact, there are hospitals laying people off and on the verge of bankruptcy because they are operating at less than 50% capacity. Now it seems the goalposts have moved, and we want to eliminate the virus before we get back to normal.  That is not how we live our lives.  I believe we are doing more damage now than the virus is doing.

Early antibody testing sugessts Covid-19 infections in L.A.County greatly  exceed documented Cases. USC and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Monday released preliminary results from a collaborative scientific study that suggests infections from the new coronavirus are far more widespread — and the fatality rate much lower — in L.A. County than previously thought. First-Time Buyers Explain Why Coronavirus Drove Them to Gun Stores in Record Numbers "Simply put: I wanted peace of mind when it comes to the safety of my family," Eaton said. Eaton's pistol was one of 2.3 million firearms to fly off the shelves in March, the single busiest month for gun sales ever. The Washington Free Beacon spoke to half a dozen new gun owners who purchased a total of six handguns and two shotguns. All of the new gun owners provided proof of purchase, though some asked not to have their last names published because of potential career backlash. Two Tennessee Teens Prove How Worthless Gun Control Is We’re still waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. NYC, but in the meantime, justices will be considering another Second Amendment-related case in conference later this month. Rodriguez v. San Jose is a case out of California, and the issue before the court is whether or not a woman’s Second Amendment rights were violated when police seized her firearms and refused to return them, because they believed her husband to be a danger to himself or others. Feds say drive-through gun sales are allowed during coronavirus outbreak The federal government has clarified that gun dealers are permitted to process background checks, make sales and accept payments for firearms using specialized drive-through or walk-up arrangements, a win for gun retailers looking to maintain their sales in an era of coronavirus fears and state-mandated "social distancing."

Liberals buy guns and drive thru gun stores

Isaiah 43:19: "Behold, I will do a new thing...."  At the beginning of the year, this verse was presented to me from a couple of sources; I seized it for 2020.  In this verse, God is speaking to Isaiah telling him to forget about the past and to look ahead.  I started looking forward and accepting of new challenges, but I had no idea how much things would change this year.    This newsletter is one of the new things.  I created it so I could connect more to my customers.   Another new challenge I took on was to start a podcast.  Recording myself has taken some effort, but I am enjoying it.  I'm not sure how good it is, but I'm surprised by the number of listeners I have had.  They are located all over the United States and even worldwide. In doing the research for the newsletter and podcast, I fell into the world of online marketing.  Before I knew it, I was learning new terms like funnels, traffic, SEO, pay per click, auto responders and the like.  So, I decided to create another blog to discuss other topics I'm interested in such as online marketing, side hustles, health and fitness and various other things.   I will do a new thing....

ANALYSIS: Our right to arms faces a death by a thousand cuts Decades ago, the head of one the most venerable gun-control groups explained the long-term strategy: “The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second problem is to get handguns registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors-totally illegal. Hilarity Ensues When Liberals Go Gun Shopping With the pandemic raging around the world, Mr. Bouslog has been on the front lines, seeing a surge in sales and requests for background checks unlike any in his business’ history. And that includes a lot of first-time buyers, most of whom are clearly liberals who never would have considered purchasing a firearm until fear of widespread social unrest drove them to it.

Happy Easter

This is the week of Easter, and I hope everyone is being safe and staying healthy.  This virus has caused a variety of disappointments and sadness for lots of people. There have been many lives lost, and in a lot of cases, an inability to properly mourn the loved one.  I feel for the high school seniors who have missed their prom, the high school and college athletes who lost a season of their careers.  I can’t imagine the disappointment the Olympic athletes are feeling as they have to wait another year for their opportunity. Personally, my boys high school baseball season was cancelled, and it was going to be an opportunity for them to play together as a freshman and junior.  Also, the team was good and had an opportunity to win a lot.  My oldest son was registered to go to a prestigious journalism conference that has been canceled.   In these difficult times and the disappointments, I am trying to revel in the opportunities to spend more time with my family and a more relaxed environment.  I have heard many say that they can’t keep track of what day of the week it is and how slow time is moving.  I am thankful for this time, and I pray for everyone during this Easter week that you remain safe and healthy and you find an opportunity to worship this weekend.

Thank the Second Amendment: Armed hero stops possible mass shooting How can you tell whether or not the liberal media will pick up an incident of gun violence and turn it into a national story? It’s simple: If the shooting is successful, they will give it wall-to-wall coverage for a week. If it is stopped by an armed citizen, however, the liberal media will almost always pretend it never happened or glance over the story with only brief mention or coverage.  Feds Add Gun Companies to ‘Essential’ Business List Amid Coronavirus Outbreak The Department of Homeland Security added gun dealers, ranges, and manufacturers to its essential business coronavirus-response guide on Saturday.    NRA, along with coalintion of gun rights groups files second lawsuit in California to fight Constitutional  violations.
