FRANK ON FRIDAY – Fraudmas Time is Here
In the movie The Usual Suspects, Verbal Kint says of arch-villain Keyser Soze, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” The Devil had nothing on the Deep State. No longer encumbered by the need even to make a pretense of telling the truth, the Establishment swears that there is no such thing as the Deep State, and it labels anyone who even dares to mention such a thing a conspiracy theorist. Like many other lies we’ve been told in recent months and years, many are willing to believe this, even in the face of indisputable evidence that the notion that we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people is just another load of crap. In 2016, we thought we’d broken the Deep State. We elected Donald Trump, who had sworn to work for the forgotten men and women of America. He had no use for lobbyists. He didn’t need their money. Trump vowed to stop China from stealing us blind, to fix trade and lower taxes. He won, I think, because Hillary was unliked and unlikable, and because the “experts” in the Establishment said it wasn’t possible and underestimated him. After the election, Trump did the deeds that would seal his fate in 2020. He kept every promise that he’d made. That was his big mistake. It solidified the opposition, which is nearly all the world, against him. Democrats hated him on general principles, he stole their power. RINO Republicans (the Never Trumpers) hated him because he exposed them as the frauds they really are, and rendered them irrelevant. The thieving lobbyists hated him because he cost them money. Ditto the Wall Street crooks who made fortunes in China and relied on an unlimited supply of cheap, illegal alien labor to fuel profits. China hated Trump for daring to expose them as unprincipled bandits who steal anything not nailed down. Russia? Well, Russia thrives on sowing discord in America, so they were loving this. Even our supposed allies like Great Britain, Italy and Australia got into the act, agreeing to have their intelligence agencies participate in the illegal efforts to depose Trump in 2016 and 2017. And all the while, we were happily anticipating the day when the truth came out about the Russian collusion hoax and the FBI and CIA plot to unseat our president. How many times did we hear Shaun Hannity say “tick, tock, as Freedom Caucus members assured us the truth was about to be revealed?” How long have we been waiting for John Durham to release his report, or whatever the Hell he’s been doing? It’s hard to believe that we all wasted four years waiting for justice to be meted out to Comey, Strozk, Clapper and Brennan. We were rope-a-doped for four years. The Deep State strung us all along, long enough to steal the election, rid themselves of Trump, and retake control. We’ve been royally screwed, and I guess it’s our own fault for believing that it was possible for anyone to control the bloated, all-powerful and thoroughly corrupt Leviathan that our government has become. I know this is a really depressing sentiment for the Holiday Season. I won’t say “Christmas” because Christmas is all about birth, and unfortunately, our country is now a lot closer to death. As we are the victims of a fraud let’s call it the Fraudmas Season. So in the spirit of Fraudmas, I offer this carol –
THE TWELVE DAYS OF FRAUDMAS
On the first day of Fraudmas the Deep State gave to me,

ten cities burning, nine crocks of Bull Schiff, eight leakers leaking, seven Bidens stealing, six networks lying, five – Chinese – spies, four tell-all books, three blocked tweets, Nancy Pelosi; Schumer, Omar and AOC
On the eleventh day of Fraudmas the Deep State gave to me,
eleven whistleblowers blowing, ten cities burning, nine crocks of Bull Schiff, eight leakers leaking, seven Bidens stealing, six networks lying, five – Chinese – spies, four tell-all books, three blocked tweets, Nancy Pelosi; Schumer, Omar and AOC
On the twelfth day of Fraudmas the Deep State gave to me,
twelve RINOs ducking, eleven whistleblowers blowing, ten cities burning, nine crocks of Bull Schiff, eight leakers leaking, seven Bidens stealing, six networks lying, five – Chinese – spies, four tell-all books, three blocked tweets, Nancy Pelosi; Schumer, Omar and AOC
So Merry Fraudmas to all, and to all I say, we’re doomed.
Maybe by next week I’ll be in a better mood, but don’t count on it.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – Virus Politics
As the Wuhan virus vaccines are beginning to be distributed, demented Democrats, in league with the lying media are still indulging their “bash Trump” psychosis. It’s not bad enough they lied about him for 5 years, spied on his campaign, and tried to impeach him. It’s not bad enough that Trump had to deal with a Fifth Column of subversive Obama staffers as well as downright traitorous employees like Comey, Strozk and Vindman. It’s not bad enough Trump had to deal with a media that refused to credit him for any achievement. Like him or not, the truth is Donald Trump moved heaven and Earth to produce and distribute supplies the States couldn’t get during the pandemic, mobilized the government and private industry, and cut miles of red tape to get things done. For his trouble, Trump was derided every day in the media for “botching” the Wuhan response, and then, when Corrupt Demented Imbecile (CDI) Joe Biden alleged that Trump did nothing but play golf during the pandemic, no one in the media, no one in the government, including the Republicans, spoke up to set the record straight. They used every means to rid themselves of Trump. Now that they’ve succeeded, you’d think they’d say “enough is enough,” but no. Now that the vaccines that Trump told us would come before the end of the year have appeared on schedule, you’d think one of them might actually slip and at least say “thank you.” Not a chance. Remember, we now live in a world where there is no history, but for what the lying media tells you today. Unfortunately, I have a memory. The Washington Post now accuses Trump of politicizing the Wuhan vaccines. New Jersey’s Red Star Ledger, scoffs at the notion that Trump wants credit for the vaccines. Seriously? I guess without an honest media prepared to point out blatant lies and mind-boggling hypocrisy, there’s no reason to ever tell the truth, but here it is. Remember when Trump was touting the progress on the vaccines, and predicting they would be ready before the end of the year? It was Trump’s vaccine when they said it could never be done so fast. It was Trump’s vaccine when Democrats said they would never take something he produced. It was Trump’s vaccine when CDI Biden said, “I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump.” It was Trump’s vaccine when Andrew Cuomo said no New Yorker could take it unless his State tested and approved it. Cuomo changed his tune when Trump told him, “Fine, I won’t send you any.” And Cuomo has to have what my father likes to call “brass balls” to comment on any Wuhan related issue. Cuomo killed at least 12,000 people in nursing homes, he killed small businesses, and has perhaps permanently damaged his State’s economy (already on life support) with his draconian lock downs. Yet such is 2020. Trump saves the States and untold lives and is bashed and defeated. Cuomo kills people, drives his State into the ground, then writes a book about how great he did, and he’s celebrated. And Trump is politicizing this? Biden’s health advisor, Dr. Death, Ezekiel Emanuel, says we shouldn’t provide the vaccine to the Americans who paid for it until the whole world gets it. And Trump is politicizing this? The Confused One, Joe Biden, accuses Trump of racism in vaccine distribution. Biden says only he can fix it, explaining, “There is no detailed plan, that we’ve seen anyway, as to how you get the vaccine out of a container, into an injection syringe, into somebody’s arm.” Huh? It was bad enough when Jimmy Carter wasted his time scheduling appointments on the White House tennis court. If CDI Biden is going to spend his time trying to figure out how to teach medical professionals to give an injection, we’re in a lot of trouble here. The truth is the Democrats have politicized every part of the pandemic. They supported Fascist lock down policies by telling us to “follow the science.” Follow the science? Every Trump event was bashed as a “superspreader event.” Yet we now know the biggest confirmed superspreader event was a Biogen medical conference early in the year. DNA mapping of patients found the conference, attended by some of the same medical professionals who spent the year lecturing us, spread the Wuhan to 300,000 people. Democrats politicized the mask debate. “The Science” first said don’t wear them, then do wear them. The Dems now tell us we must wear them, or else we’re not patriotic. “The Science” out of Denmark says the masks made little difference. We can see this with our own eyes, as States subject to strict mask mandates have fared no better than others. A study at University of Massachusetts Lowell and California Baptist University found that a 3 layer surgical mask is 65% effective, but that reusing a mask is more dangerous than no mask at all. The authors say “It is natural to think that wearing a mask should always be better than nothing. Our results show that this belief is only true for particles larger than 5 microns, but not for fine particles smaller than 2.5 microns.” The Wuhan virus is under 1 micron in size. And the study tested surgical masks, not the various and sundry face coverings being constantly used and reused, like the bandanas over the faces of shoppers, reminiscent of Jesse James looking pull off a train robbery. Democrats even politicized potential drug therapies. Trump mentioned hydroxychloraquine, so it was banned in some places. That it’s been proven safe and effective for 60 years didn’t matter. We had to hear Neil Cavuto, as the Dems like to say, without any evidence, tell us, “this stuff will kill you.” This despite the fact that doctors far more experienced than Sanjay Gupta prescribed it, took it themselves, and knew that it worked. I personally know a police officer whose severe Wuhan symptoms disappeared once he was able to get hydroxychloraquine. They didn’t care. They so shamelessly politicized the treatment that, when some woman in Arizona tried to kill her husband with fish tank cleaner with a similar name, they blamed Trump. Who knows how many people would still be alive without this Democrat meddling. The latest proof that a disease is no different to Democrats than any political issue comes from whacky Maxine Waters who says the reason why Democrats should not agree with Republicans on another virus relief package is because the GOP has been trying to “invalidate the votes of millions of people.” I rest my case. In 2020, despite the fact that there is nothing beneath politics, there sadly is nothing above politics.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – Back in the U.S.S.R.
I have a talent for anticipating transformational events. Sometimes I wish I didn’t. Back in 2009, when Obamacare was just a glint in Il Duce Obama’s skinny socialist eye, the debate over what became Obamacare motivated me to write my book, Preserve, Protect and Condemn, in which I included what I thought were amusing fictional unanticipated consequences of such a law. Sadly, many of them came to pass. Surely, the government wouldn’t consider killing off sick people who cost too much, right? Actually no, Obamacare included what became known as “Death Panels” to decide when someone had gotten enough treatment and should just go away. And now, the Great Pretender, Joe Biden, has appointed Ezekiel Emanuel as his health adviser, a man who has written that those who have lived 75 years have lived long enough. In February 2015, I wrote that a conservative populist would be elected president. I had Ted Cruz in mind, and not Trump, but it’s the thought that counts. After writing my book, I did some reading about studies that showed how memory worked. People were given lists of names or numbers. Those who were told the list was recorded for later review remembered far less than those who were told there was no saved list. In other words, if we think the answers can be looked up later, we tend to forget details. Confused yet? Stay with me. I began to think about the implications of this phenomenon in the age of the internet. When we were kids, if you needed to look up something you consulted an encyclopedia, or you made a trip to a library. The point is, there was a recorded repository of information that was universally accepted as our history. Different historians had different viewpoints to be sure, but that’s the point, there was diversity of opinion. So I began to ponder what would become of history, in a world where the answer to every question is “I’ll Google it.” The libraries are still there. The books are on the shelves gathering dust. And that’s the problem. Few people today actually ever read a book, especially young people. This fact wouldn’t be so troubling if we had schools that taught history, but we don’t. What was “history” is now just a part of “social studies,” and what little time we devote to history has become no more than the study of why America was a bad idea. Today’s students are historical illiterates. Don’t take my word for it, historian David McCollough said exactly that in 2005. We also could squeak by with “I’ll Google it” education if we could rely on the internet to faithfully tell the truth. One of the things we’ve learned in the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year 2020 is that the internet, once heralded as the instrument that would put the entire record of Man’s achievements and foibles in the hands of every person on Earth, cannot be trusted. Simply put, the internet moguls, like Mark Zuckerberg and Rasputin look-alike Jack Dorsey, have rewritten history for those poor unfortunates who never bothered to learn it for themselves. This should scare Hell out of you because this guy, or is it that guy,
and guys like him, now get to decide what our history is. Even more alarming is that, these guys now get to decide what can and what cannot be accepted as truth. The recent unpleasantness that was our election made this perfectly clear. The news isn’t just what is reported, it’s what isn’t reported. The U.S.S.R. was good at that. For instance, in 1957, the Russians launched Sputnik-2, and announced to the world that their superior technology had put a 1,000 pound ship containing the dog, Laika, into space. That part was true, but they left out the facts that the ship burned up and the dog was killed. So, if you can limit what people get to see, and then can prevent dissenters from speaking the truth, even to one another on the internet, you can control the public. Our internet masters learned this first-hand. When the internet was in its infancy, it was credited with helping to bring down the Soviet Union and all its socialist satellite states. People in Eastern Europe learned the truth on internet sites, and the U.S.S.R. was no more. They weren’t going to let that happen again, and the internet billionaires soon found out they could make more money helping states like Communist China use the internet to suppress the flow of information, than by using it to make all information available to all people. They then decided what was good for the Chinese was good for America, so this year, they banned all reports that Joe Biden is a corrupt demented imbecile, as indeed he is. Anyone who said otherwise was banned from the debate. This has transformed the internet from the leading platform for the exercise of our right to free speech into the principal means of cancelling our First Amendment rights. Sinister forces are at work, forces which seek to “fundamentally transform” (where have I heard that before?) the U. S. into a socialist workers’ paradise. Destroying and changing what our history is a key component. Karl Marx wrote, “People without a heritage are easily persuaded.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn, after 8 years in a Soviet labor camp wrote, “To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.” How? You could pull down all the statues of historical figures. Sound familiar? This plot has been in the works a long time. It’s the reason that Christopher Columbus went from intrepid explorer to capitalist exploiter, and it’s why George Washington went from the Father of our Country to just another slave-owning white guy who is to blame for any and all complaints of the ignorant, self-absorbed, narcissistic sheep who take Google as Gospel. When the source of all information is Google, Twitter and Facebook, you can make 40% of the people believe Trump conspired with Russia, and they did. You can make half the populace believe that millions of Americans have died from the Wuhan virus, and they do. And you can blatantly steal a presidential election, and then assure people that the election was fair, which they’re doing as I speak. In short, the Left didn’t want to make America great again, so it’s using internet suppression to turn America into the U.S.S.R.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – Sound and Fury
The Holiday season fast approaches. This being the year 2020, the season is accompanied by dire warnings from various and sundry medical “experts” that we best cancel all get-togethers and celebrations, lest we risk the Wuhan plague. Merry Christmas. And yet we remain enmeshed in the aftermath of the presidential election. If the results are to be believed, we must believe that Donald Trump received 11 million more votes than he got in 2016, and still lost. We must believe that voter turnout in urban areas, not normally known for high turnout, were at historic highs, some more than 95%. We must believe that Joe Biden, a man who couldn’t draw flies during the campaign, and who’s electric personality is such that he couldn’t lure you out of a burning building, inspired 81 million people to vote for him, and to do so in such a way that Biden under-performed Il Duce Obama’s numbers in all swing State counties, except those in cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta. The election lawsuits and public hearings grind on toward the December 14th Electoral College vote, with stories of vote fraud in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan. I wish I could be confident. I know that this will serve only to further depress readers who already are in a foul mood, but I am reminded of a scene from A Christmas Carol. Scrooge implores Marley’s ghost, “Speak comfort to me, Jacob.” But alas, like Marley’s ghost, “I have none to give,” for I fear all the Trump complaints will come to nothing. Not that there isn’t abundant evidence of fraud. In Michigan, a Senate committee heard witnesses who reported that with Trump ahead in the count on election night, all of a sudden they stopped counting votes. At around 4:30 a.m. the day after Election Day, a massive ballot dump of more than 130,000 votes appeared for Joe Biden. One GOP elections observer said all of the military ballots she saw looked like “Xerox copies” of each other. None were registered Michigan voters, and 100% went for Joe Biden. “They had to manually enter the names, addresses, and a false birthdate of 1/1/2020, to override the system and allow them to enter non-registered voters. Michigan has same day registration, but not “day after the election registration.” Michigan uses the tainted Dominion election software. Melissa Carone, a Dominion trained contractor blew the whistle on Dominion workers, and revealed ballots were being tabulated in the Department of Elections, which is completely illegal. Batches of ballots were being scanned 8-10 ten times over and over. Ballots are supposed to drop into a sealed box after being scanned through the tabulating machine, but instead were accessible to the election workers after being scanned through the machine. Boxes that were supposed to receive the scanned ballots were moved to another part of the room and used to block poll observers. In Georgia, there’s evidence that Dominion software officials meddled with the counting systems and then destroyed evidence. Dominion officials were videoed allegedly changing votes by using the internet and USB devices in Gwinnett County. Trump supposedly lost Georgia by less than 10,000 votes. In Wisconsin, a Postal subcontractor was told that over 100,000 Ballots were gathered on November 4th and backdated so that they would still be counted. Trump supposedly lost Wisconsin by 20,000 votes. Other whistleblower statements include potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines, and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania. The Amistad Project, a national constitutional litigation organization of the Thomas More Society, has sworn declarations that state over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania. They claim their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by postal workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states. In Pennsylvania, Greg Stenstrom, told the legislature that in Delaware County he “witnessed unsupervised access by a vendor representing Dominion, during which the vendor violated election system certification protocols and inserted jump drives to download and update the aggregation machines counting the vote.” Amistad has additional evidence that postal workers in Pennsylvania were instructed to place Trump mail in undeliverable bins while making sure that Biden mail was delivered in a timely fashion. As bad as all this sounds, and it sounds terrible, don’t expect the courts to fix this mess. There are just too many States in play for the U.S. Supreme Court to affect the outcome of the election, and in most of the States at issue, the state judges are nothing more than elected officials who aren’t going to jeopardize their phony-baloney jobs just to do what’s right. So much for justice. What’s left? What’s left is the system set up by the Constitution, which provides that each State shall appoint the presidential electors, “in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” This means that the final decision on whose electors are certified rests with the State legislatures, which can reject electors appointed in an election so tainted by fraud that there can be no confidence in it’s results. That would have to happen before December 14th. Don’t get your hopes up, this is a heavy lift, and a lot to ask from elected officials who also want to protect their phony-baloney jobs (see above). Failing this, the Congress, which meets January 6th to hear the results of the electoral votes, can, with at least one House and one Senate member challenging the results, conduct debates leading to votes on whether to accept the results. Don’t hold your breath on this one either. Never forget that the majority of the people voting will be either Democrats who hate Trump, or Rhino Republicans, who never supported Trump as President, and are glad to see him go. In summary, the 2020 election is a story of electoral theft on a massive scale. It is, however, a tragedy without a remedy. If these sobering truths haven’t succeeded in depressing you enough, I close with yet another tragedy – Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
I fear that Donald Trump’s hour upon the stage is coming to an end. We have enjoyed the show, but his brief candle is flickering out.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – The Year That Wasn’t
In the 1960’s, there was a TV show called That Was The Week That Was, which was a satirical review of current events, especially politics, and which featured songs by Tom Lehrer. Looking back on the colossal shit show that’s been 2020, it occurred to me that 2020 is the year that wasn’t. It wasn’t supposed to go the way it went. 2020 has been a lost year in so many respects. Our kids lost a year of education, because virtual learning is virtually useless. Our economy, not to say the stock market, which has yet to feel the pain, has suffered enormous damage that will take years to remedy. Our cities lost the ability to enforce the law. All of us lost our freedom to come and go, or even to enjoy a simple meal in a restaurant. 2020 was the year that sports shut down, then reappeared in empty stadiums, with fake crowd noise. Worst of all, in 2020, we lost a President who was the only breath of fresh air in the foul stench that is Washington, D.C. 2020 was supposed to be the Year of the Rat, but turned out to be the Year of the Wuhan bat – if you want to believe that crap. Or maybe just the Year of the Chinese Red Death. The year began innocently enough, with the usual predictions. The super-leftist website Vox, which hates all things conservative, made 18 predictions for 2020, crowing that 12 of their 16 2019 predictions had come true. Like most things in 2020, Vox came up short, their record dropping to 50%. Here’s what Vox predicted for 2020.
1. Donald Trump will win reelection. Vox noted incumbency, the growing economy, low unemployment, and peace as the deciding factors. Wrong. The Wuhan virus, plus vote fraud overrode all the positives, as the sneaking, lying Chinese hoped it would.
2. Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee. This was an easy one, given the field of whackos, has beens, and light weights he was running against.
3. The GOP holds the Senate. They got this one right, at least so far. If the Dems manage to steal the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia, like they did the presidential race, who knows?
4. Trump will not get a new Supreme Court appointment. Wrong. Vox calculated the odds of Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying at 8.2%. She beat the odds.
5. The Supreme Court will allow more abortion restrictions. Wrong. The Court struck down restrictions in Louisiana.
6. The Democratic primary will be settled on Super Tuesday. Not a big stretch. See Number 2 above.
7. The number of people in global poverty will fall. Wrong. Due to the Wuhan, poverty is up 1.9%. Thanks again China.
8. Brexit (finally) happens (with 95% probability).
Wrong. The British Establishment has no more respect for the will of the voters than the scum that run the U.S.
9. No US troops land in Iran. There was never much chance of this with Trump. But never mind invasion. With the incoming Harris/Biden Administration, any chance of confronting and controlling those murdering bastards falls to zero.
10. China’s internment camps for Muslims will remain open. Here, Vox criticized Trump’s tough talk about the Chinese as toothless. They suggested Trump might veto Congress’s 2020 Uiger Human Rights Policy Act. They got that wrong. He signed it 6/17/20. But the camps remain open, and Biden likely will send China money to hire more guards.
11. Netanyahu will not be unseated as Israeli prime minister. Wrong. This is a mixed bag. One election ushered in a coalition government with rotating PM’s. That Failed. A new election is scheduled for February.
12. No gene drives to fight malaria-carrying mosquitoes will be launched in any part of the world.
I’ll give them this one. Malaria? What’s malaria? In 2020, there is no disease but one disease, and Covid is its name.
13. No new CRISPR-edited babies will be born. Wrong. I wasn’t familiar with the the concept of gene-edited babies. Vox cited a global backlash, but China announced a new gene-edited baby in November. Not a surprise. The Chinese have distracted the globe from any backlash by infecting it with the Wuhan. If they admit to one, the lying Chinese sacks of shit probably have an army of gene-edited robots.
14. The number of drug-resistant infections will increase. Vox was right, but for the wrong reason. Once again the Wuhan is responsible for the spread of such antibiotic resistant bugs such as candida auris, and something they’re calling super gonorrhea. Good job China.
15. Facial recognition will be banned in at least three more cities. Vox cited concerns for privacy and misidentification of people of color. In 2020, those were the least of our concerns. But, New Orleans, Portland and Madison, Wisconsin banned it. Banning facial recognition would have been bad enough, but we had the 2020 insanity of defunding the police, decriminalizing crime, and tolerating rioting, looting and arson. Facial recognition wouldn’t work anyway. The lawless bastards of Antifa all wear black masks.
16. Global carbon emissions will increase. Wrong.
Emissions were down 7% due to Wuhan lockdowns. Thanks again China.
17. Average world temperatures will increase relative to 2019. Wrong. They say figures don’t lie, but liars figure. The July 2020 global land and ocean surface temperature merely tied the 2016 second-highest July temperature in the 140 years that records have been kept. Think it’s hot now? Take a look at 1934. In any case, 140 years is insignificant in the scheme of global history, during which time the temperatures have gone up and down drastically without any input from Man.
18. California has a wildfire among the 10 most destructive in state history. This one was too easy to predict. In fact, most of the worst fires were set. I don’t think we should blame global warming for making arson more efficient. The fires keep getting worse because of California’s nutty environmental policies. 100% sustainable energy means not enough energy, and rolling blackouts. Their water policy causes needless droughts. So, Californians, to paraphrase Shakespeare, “the fault lies not in the carbon emissions, but in yourselves.”
Unlike Vox, I’m making only one prediction for 2021. It just has to be better than 2020. So, before the swearing in of corrupt demented imbecile Joe Biden, let’s swear out the year 2020. 2020, cursed year of unrelenting shit, get the F**k out, and take with you the Chinese bats, the ventilators, the masks, the lock downs, Governor Cuomo and his brother Fredo, the hand-washing PSA’s, the words “new normal, the school closures, the restaurant restrictions, the empty stadiums, Dr. Birx’s scarves, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and most of all Dr. Fauci. Ship one and all the Hell out of here, and give us back our lives. Amen. 2020 has ended. Go on a cruise.
