I rolled my eyes at the bank teller back in early April 2020 when I walked into the bank without a mask and they sternly told me to put a mask on. 😳 I said, β€œexcuse me? You are telling me to put a mask on and cover my face? You do know this is a bank, right? When has anyone EVER been allowed to wear a mask in a bank?” They all looked at me and shrugged.

So I put my mask on, stuck my finger in my sweatshirt pocket, pointed it at them and said, β€œthis is a stick up now give me all your money” I’m not allowed back there. πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ JK πŸ˜‰ But the first part was true.

I was told to put a mask on or leave the bank. I said I would leave and then take all of my money with me. We moved our business account and personal the next day!

Hope you did not take your money to PNC Bank: They cancelled Don Trump Junior's accounts for his startup news network MXMNews and confiscated the funds. Once Don and friends began to raise holy hell on the web about this, PNC said "we made a mistake". Tough noogies, said Don, and moved the company's accounts elsewhere.

With progresssives, their truth becomes their mistake ONLY when they get caught. Forewarned is forearmed.

Thanks for this information. The article I found about this DID NOT say anything about "we made a mistake". Instead, the article said Don received what I would call a b.s. form letter and a cashiers check for his balance. PNC was contacted to comment and said they do not discuss account closures. I hope PNC did say " we made a mistake", but I fear the article I read is what occurred. This wildness sickens me.

Doubtful that it’s useful for business accounts, but for all personal banking needs, I always recommend a credit union over any commercial bank anywhere. In general, you can’t beat the low fees and better interest rates – the credit union works *for* their members and anyone can join! And I’ll put in a quick plug for Logix federal credit union… I’ve been with them for close to 40 years (including their name change) and I can’t speak highly enough about their customer service (they actually have a real person answer their phones instead of forcing you through a maze of annoying voice (non-) recognition menu items!) and competitive mortgage/loan services (not available in all states, but look them up!). Ladies and gentlemen – drop your commercial bank accounts and move to a credit union! You can thank me later :-)

To make sure you get the correct site: logixbanking dot com. I haven’t had a need to check in forever, but there used to be a page where they listed their rates (both loan and deposit/certificate) and fees for easy comparison. Their CS reps are also very helpful at 800-328-5328. Please also note that you do *not* need to be an employee of any particular industry or union. Membership info can be found on their website or the CS number. Needless to say, I’ve been very happy with the value of their service over the years. Hope this helps "e." :-)

I went into a Bank of America to make a cash deposit in Waltham, MA. I think it was in October 2020 after my chefs clubs annual fundraising golf outing. Being the treasurer it was my responsibility to get the funds deposited. Let me point out that this is the "cradle of liberty" were the "shot heard around the world" kicked off the American Revolution. The staff yelled at me about not having a mask on and then the masked guard reached for his gun! I looked at him and said "really dude"? The cowardice and lack of fidelity to liberty by my fellow citizens was profound and disappointing. In a little over six months, my better half and I, left our home of 30 plus years and settled here in Florida. I have never worn a mask and I never will!!

I recently saw a homeless guy walk into Marshall’s with an empty bag, i watched him fill it up with packages of white tshirts and underwear and socks and walk right out. I was actually frozen like I couldn’t believe my eyes, once he was on his bicycle and spinning away; I said to the nearest lady stocking shelf’s, you know that guy just stole a bunch of stuff right? She said no!! She yelled for the manager and they all ran for the door to take a look but the manager said, no don’t ever get involved, just let him go! Now I do think they will check cameras and maybe look out for him, if he comes back. But word is out. Stealing is easy and ok. For certain populations. At least.

My husband was told he could not enter the bank, which was only allowing one person at a time in anyway, without a mask, when they asked him if he had one he said no and he did not have a gun either, no plans on holding up the place.

Yes, the Covid Coup is exposed to those of us with eyes to see.

But the public still sleeps in far too many cases and the evil ones have control of all TV media. Many people believe what they see on the idiot box is reality. They are horribly wrong, but they truly don't know it.

Ditto masses of our elected officials. And the unelected dictator class is terrified of being exposed as the criminals and cowards they are.

Look how lonely Dr.s like Pierre Kory, Paul Marik, Peter McCullough and our wonderful departed Zev Zelenko were, and still are. We have SO much pushing still to do, and the perps look to bring WW lll to cover up their crimes.

The Damar thing is really puzzling. No way, could the player that I saw go down in real time, and worked on for so many minutes, be healthy enough to do all these things a month later. Add to that all the strange things done at the time of his heart problem, that are unexplained.

My take on Damar is there was no heart attack, a staged event, to get ahead of the dropping dead narrative with the idea that all these heart attacks are quite survivable when indeed they are deadly. The 'tatoos' issue and skin color changes could all be makup to throw folks off. One nurse commented that the pics of him in the hospital are faked, the various tubes were not believable to a real medic. Faked the attack, betcha a dollar.

Absolutely agree. It was all staged and scripted. The conspiracy theorists have been fooled and really believe he suffered from the jab. They can’t grasp how/why this would be staged. They are so determined to believe he suffered a jab injury they can’t see anything else. The joke is on them and Damar is just fine, enjoying his 9M bonus and he’s young so he has plenty of career ahead. (That’s part of why they picked him to be the β€œstar”) He will be back and play healthy next season.

Hmmmmm not sure your comment about Justin Bieber requiring the shot for concert attendance is correct. I saw him last year with no vaxx and no test or mask anything else. If you saw a concert which required the shot I bet the blame goes to the venue. The only reason I assume he is vaxxed is that he's Canadian and he would not have been able to enter the US to do his tour without it (we STILL have that rule - one of the least-free countries in the world at the moment!) So it's very likely he got the shot IN ORDER to do his tour, which means he'd be a victim and not a perpetrator of this BS. I'm not sure if he's a dual citizen; he could be - it's easy to get citizenship if you're wealthy. In that case he may not have been required. His wife is a flaming liberal but he is quiet about politics & very outspoken about his Christian faith so it's hard to say.

PS Karma isn't real.

I am the same as you in that regard but I’ve often thought that it’s not a choice but rather how we were made - or a vaccine side effect like borderline autism. 🧐

The world is geared towards the extroverts but really, why is it wrong that some recharge by being alone or with maybe one good friend, and right (or more socially acceptable) that others recharge by being at a large party/gathering? I’m not sure how much of a choice it is if you have a desire to be alone and someone else has one to be with lots of people. I’ve often wished to be more comfortable with groups of people, but it’s never happened. Even if I force myself to be, it does not change that. How to tell if someone is a true introvert is their reaction when the doorbell rings. Me, I run for the hills. Glad hubby does not mind the doorbell. πŸ˜‰

It's a combination of accepting what we were taught as truth, trusting that those who do and publish research are honest, and disease pattern recognition. It's not always a guess, at all, as there are disease patterns that exist. It was not unusual for me to watch a patient walk down the hallway to my exam room, able to know the diagnosis based on the written chief complaint and my brief observation, confirmed by doing the history and physical in the room. Sadly, however, we now know that those who taught us may have been just as fooled as we were about some topics; that the drug/vaccine and medical device industries are very corrupt, such that it's difficult to know what 'data' can be trusted at all; and that many if not most younger folks in medicine have only been taught to follow algorithms and edicts, not to understand physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, psychology, etc., and to treat patients as unique individuals, using their own brains and relationships with their patients.

Mask wearing has been 'voluntary' for almost 12 months in Thailand. 99.9% still wear them, even outdoors in 40 degrees heat now it's the start of the hot season. New normal families mask their infants and babies. It's so sad. It is destroying the social fabric of society. I regularly ask staff in malls, restaurants and all types of businesses if mask wearing is optional for them - they say it is mandated by their company for "protection when interacting with customers." I tell them I feel sorry for them. Kids never see their parent's faces in public. Kids never see other kid's faces in school, nor their teacher's faces. How will they have successful cognitive development and speech pattern recognition, as well as understanding facial contortions to express emotion? New normal Thailand is in big trouble.

If anyone but me is concerned that he doesn't speak, they aren't saying. I truly wonder if my brother and his wife are losing sleep over this or are looking the other way and assuming the situation will improve. We used to be close but we can't talk about much anymore and certainly not this. I tried to talk to my mom about this the other day and she said "boys are slow to develop".

"Everything to be fought out in court," except the things they want to impose on others, which can be done by fiat or social pressure and scorn. Back when our 'side' used social pressure to encourage civic morality, the Left's cry was, "but it's not against the law!" So they pushed and pushed until we have to resort to the law to ban surgical and hormonal mutilation of children. But their side? They can do what *is* against the law (e.g., rioting, burning, looting, etc.) because they fall into a favored category, for whom the 'regular law' doesn't apply. As the Twitter account Alice Smith (@TheAliceSmith) once said, "The Left demands apologies for who you are, not what you have done, because it bases morality on collective identity, not individual behaviour. This leaves them free as individuals to behave however they like, as long as their group affiliation is virtuous."

That mask story is gold. I think aside from restaurants making you wear a mask to walk around, but not when sitting down and eating, the most stupid thing done to prevent the transmission of Covid was when flight attendants would ask passengers to disembark a flight row by row. Yes, they do row by row now but they asked all of us to remain seated until the row in front of us disembarked. I thought "Have you ever smelled a fart discharged by someone sitting 10 feet away?". That's how Covid was in my mind. A fart. There really was no stopping it and nobody needed to create movement for that virus to move among people. It was also as if it was higher in the air but didn't exist lower, where our mouths and noses were while sitting.
