All of you airplane travelers have your cell phones at the ready. There are going to be some hellacious battles worthy of documentation. Taking away the masks is going to be equivalent to taking away their child. I'm always looking for a good laugh. Of course, they won't remove theirs....ever, but the rest of you best prepare for the loon brigade.

I’ll just bring extra masks and tell them to wear one right side out and one inside out and that way it’s like they’re wearing mine for me and that’s an even better virtue-signaling thing to do. Maybe thinking about that will occupy them at least for a little bit. Oh wait, they don’t think.

That is hands down best response to a maskholer I've heard, thanks!

Janice I wish you had made this remark last year LOL. It would have saved me a few agonizing trips to walmart.

Incidentally, I've never had anyone besides a medical person insist I wear a mask except for my long time friend from 6th grade who, unfortunately, drank the covid koolaid. But I live in Oklahoma so maybe things are more chill here. Although I have been seeing more people wearing masks now than maybe six months ago. When the greeter at Walmart offers me a mask (which they're doing sporadically), I just say no thank you.

Shoot, you’ve definitely been privileged to live in chill land. What a blessing for you!

I am thankful. It's been annoying, but not horrible like in other states and cities. That is not to say that hospitals here haven't killed patients with the wrong protocol while denying the treatments that work... :( That is, of course, horrible. I guess there just aren't as many mask nazis here as elsewhere...

I had made a similar suggestion on my public page back in the 2020 days when I still had Facebook. But I think I added something like “wear your two masks and leave me alone.” 🤭

Read a post yesterday about a passenger being approached by a flight attendant asking for support to keep the mask mandate in place. Her reasoning, to protect her child until eligible for the shot.

I made reservations a few days ago for a trip to FL to visit my sister. My husband heard this morning that SW plans to cancel approximately 2000 flights because of gas prices. I won’t be surprised if ours gets canceled because we’re flying from one mid sized town another.

Rand Paul should have also dropped the testing requirement for US citizens coming back into the US. When will the fascist bullshit ever end? I’m so SICK of it.

Where would you go? Serious question. It seems all the governments in the West have gone full-bore authoritarian at the same time.

Exactly. I heard Mark Steyne say this very thing a few.years ago, he was subbing for Rush and he did quite a monologue on this very subject; the importance of fighting for American freedoms, because it was the last hope. I remember the feeling of sadness when he said ….there is no where else.

Bring that I’m married and my husband didn’t feel the same way, it’s not anything that I’ve looked at seriously. Costa Rica and Mexico might be options. I’m a researcher and if moving was an option or a plan b, I’d would have an answer. At this point, it’s difficult to find a country that’s not corrupt. But, they do exist. Where would you go?

Expand full comment

Just went to Costa Rica in December (my fifth trip there and easily the worst) The people are generally great but they really drank the Covid Kool Aid. Asked me to wear a mask to walk to a table outside on the beach. Almost 100 % vaxxed population. Had to pay for insurance at $7/ per day extra if unvaxxed. Was told by people living there that we wouldn't even be allowed in without the jab (untrue obviously). Had to pay $75 for a Covid test to return to US :(

Expand full comment

Hawaii and Ireland dropped all bans. Israel is begging for non vaxed.

Expand full comment

My sister (anti-covid jab) had an Israel trip planned for about a year. Got the Johnson & Johnson shot months ahead of time as required only to be able to share the trip with her daughter. A few weeks ago, Israel dropped the vax requirement. My sis landed there yesterday for her tour. I'd love to see where Jesus walked and healed and cast out demons on earth...but I will probably wait and see the new Jerusalem...

I have already warned my family that they might never see me again. At first it hurt, but now I am at peace. If you decide to move across the ocean, you know that might happen anyways. I think of them always, that is what counts. After all, travelling has become a hassle and we are not getting any younger ! Just stay in this little corner of nowhere in the woods is safest right now I guess. Never seen a deer with a gun!

Expand full comment

Or a mask!

Expand full comment

Ok, don’t shoot me or anything but I would wear a mask on a plane, against regular flu/cold sized stuff flying around from the cougher behind me or sneezer ahead. Hubby or I get sick after every flight we take presumably from recycled air.

IF the airlines upgraded all of their planes I’d be happier but I don’t trust that they did. Otherwise why are they FOR masks? Stupid.

Pre Covid, people occasionally wore masks onboard. For their own reasons. So when you fly, don’t dis the tall blond in a mask wearing a “So.” shirt. 😉

And it won’t be on Delta who wants to ban non mask wearers for life.

Welcome to sanity. Just curious, what was it that led you to shift? Have tried with some friends and family with little success. Although my sister (who lives in AL so her vote for D's has been mostly in vain) called me Sunday night and apologized for voting for Biden. What did it for her? Her hubby's tanking 401K, interestingly enough. Not the vid, not gas prices, not the illegal immigrants who she complains has overrun her area due to all the chicken plants in the region, but the stock market. Interesting as I think the bull run would have run out regardless of the 2020 election, but I was gracious about it and told her the D party actually left HER a long time ago. She just doesn't pay a lot of attention.

Every day of the last 2+ years has been intense and hurtful. My family (with 3 adult children) is unvaxxed in a liberal town so we have lost friends and jobs. Way too many lies from our government and media for us to ignore. We are very well read but I don't have one "friend" who is interested in my sharing any of it. They are totally in the tank about what they hear on mainstream media and will not read any dissenting views. We feel like we're living in a dystopian world here. It's very strange.

Expand full comment

Well perhaps if you are in a liberal town there are still those like you, it's a question of finding them. My other sister is a lonely R in So Cal, but has managed to find some conservative groups that meet, and she's surprised how many silent majority folks are out there. Got really involved in the Recall Newsome movement but really disappointed in that though. Even in my town, where 65% voted for Trump, the left is very nasty, and making life h*ll for our local R candidates, even tried to get one fired just for being conservative, sending screen shots from her campaign posts. The fight is everywhere, sadly.

I’ve heard that once you take the red pill, there’s no going back. When your eyes are opened and you see truth, you can never Unsee it! It’s an odd Twilight zone world we live in, with lies coming at you from every angle, but hang on. C & C is a good place to find some sanity.

Expand full comment

So what is behind the recent spate of truth telling? It's not organic, it never is.

Is it just politics and fear of a mid-term wipeout? If so, why is it happening worldwide? Also, why is it happening in places like LA County (my home for now) where even Stalin himself could be elected if he had a "D" after his name?

It has to be more than just politics. My guess is that the truth behind the vaccine adverse events is cataclysmic, and all the vax pushers (virtually every level of gov't) are trying to pretend they weren't behind it and hoping people forget. All the signs are there with the excess deaths and warning from insurance companies. Those in power must know. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

The explanation would be that the US/CDC sets worldwide policy. Dunno if it's true, but there is evidence supporting that hypothesis.

Expand full comment

Yes, that could explain it. I had assumed that many of these leaders actually thought for themselves rather than just following the herd. CYA from their awful advice/mandates actually shows some rational thought albeit very low morals. Perhaps I gave them too much credit.

The public has ALWAYS had a short memory as to politics. Idk why. The opposing party has to call out all the lies every cycle.

Considering India's essential role in ingredients and finished pharmaceutical products, very interesting play by the DC crowd.
