VIEW FROM THE BACKSIDE by Barry Denton

Whhooo… Boy!
ederal workers have the biggest chance right now, to become American heroes! They can send Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates packing by refusing to get them. Can you believe the arrogance of Mr. Biden in telling 100 million people that they have to get a vaccine? All Biden had to do to look like a hero in this vaccine war was to simply ask the folks to get vaccinated. Joe Hitler just doesn’t cut it. According to the US Constitution, which is going to be tested, I doubt he has a right to do this. This issue will be tested by the over 500 lawsuits already filed in federal courts as of this writing. However, don’t expect federal workers to be heroes because they can never think for themselves. They are only good at doing what the federal government tells them to do. That’s why most are not earning a living in the private sector. They just simply cannot do it. After all they like their gravy jobs with good benefits, but nonetheless
they have the chance to right a terrific wrong. Perhaps federal workers will surprise us, but I doubt it. I am hoping there is at least one group of federal employees with courage. I know one thing, when I see the Forest Service guys riding around in their little green forest trucks with their masks on I will be laughing my butt off at the forest robots obeying orders. I am not anti-vaccine. I am anti-bullying by a weak President trying to save face. The mask mandate is atrocious, not proven that it works, and I actually feel sorry for anyone being forced to wear one. Regarding to suing the federal government and others over the vaccine mandates, unions such as the Teamsters and states such as Arizona are becoming allies against the common enemy. That does not happen very often. This is such a ridiculous situation that could have been solved with kindness and not power. It’s obvious that the left side of politics has been exploiting the disease instead of just giving people the facts. The left certainly enjoys a crisis of any kind. The funny thing is that they won’t tell you is that most people get over Covid-19 and the death rate is still less than one percent in the United States. This doesn’t mean that the disease shouldn’t be taken seriously, but it
should not be exploited for political gain. The other part of this equation is that Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease has been accused of lying to Congress by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky; claiming that the US did not fund gain-offunction research. New documents came to light recently about a study at the China Wuhan Lab that shows that the National Institute Of health granted $660,000 per year to research for five years for bat coronavirus. Gain-Of-Function is a scientific term that means changing an organism to give it new functions to test a theory. Regarding human viruses, it might make the virus more transmissible to see whether or not it can survive. Apparently when Dr. Fauci was testifying before Congress he denied this research existed. Kind of spooky stuff when you get down to it. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the end. It almost sounds like a US entity was funding a disease to make everyone sick. Let’s hope that we get to the bottom of this one before it’s too late. Staying down on the farm or ranch has its advantages at times, especially during a pandemic or a wave of crazy government.
