What a mess! Trump melts down . . . some more . . . again; declares himself dictator of the U.S. What occasioned the tantrum? Two questions: Where do you think you get the authority to declare yourself dictator?” and “What did you do in February?” Also: the failure of Mitch McConnell to respond to COVID-19. 

For 15 April (Wednesday) Dr. Kevin Shanley and a deep dive into the shadowy world of Chinese governance.

A conversation with archaeologist and journalist Dr. John Roby on the humanity’s relationship with plagues and massive cultural changes. The Front Porch gang dives deeply into primaries.

Sure, COVID19 is awful, but that doesn’t mean everything else isn’t awful, too! Remember the Climate Crisis? Yeah. News is out that based on global modeling (not the sleazy softcore porn modeling like the First Stripper did), there’s a big species die-off in the future if we don’t get our act together. Why does the doc who started the Hydroxyquinone fad look like the doc who wrote Corona Caligula’s “health letter” a few years back. Why did Nitwit Nero go to Walter Reed at about the same time the DIA gave the White House its first warning about the threat from the virus?

An abbreviated edition. Thunderstorms rolled through, scaring our internet into running under the bed and hiding. It made getting the program out more than a little problematic.

A killer is on the loose. No, not the virus; rather the man who is using the virus as a weapon against the United States: Donald Trump, hoe of the depraved heart. With a Republican senate that was unwilling to stand up for the Constitution, our only defenses are to ignore him, excoriate him, and stay the hell at home. 

We’ve reached a milestone as a nation where we no longer listen to people who’ve been trained to do their jobs. Medicine is a delicate practice and not one to be taken lightly, yet we’re getting understudied and inaccurate information every day now from our leaders on how to survive a pandemic. I can’t imagine what our Founders would be saying about what we now call our governing bodies except we’re reaping what we’ve sown and the discord will make us or break us.  Let’s work together and find solutions that will make history remember what our nation represents, unity. 

There’s almost too much to do justice with a brief description like this. Foremost, though, a single, simple word changed everything on Sunday. One word, uttered by George Stephanopoulos, accompanied by an utterly unconvincing “can’t ‘member” from a MAGAT and suddenly things make both more and less sense. With this gang, it’s always the Nixon question: “What did he know and when did he know it.” COVID19 is no different. Also, of course, the EVILgelicals have moved into full-on terrorism against our country. They’re all over the place and they couldn’t be more dangerous if they were wearing dynamite belts. 

Even though we’re in the middle of a Pandemic people still need people. We’re a symbiotic species whether we like it or not and limiting contact isn’t as easy as we might care to think it would be. We hope that here at The Virtual Center we can alleviate some of the stress that comes along with self-isolation and we can discuss some of the things that matter most to you. Your health, your welfare, and your liberty. Isn’t that one of the aspects that made us a great nation at one time? That all individuals mattered? We still believe that concept and we believe in you. 

MAGATS say the darnedest things . . . when they screw up and tell the truth. Lots of voters are bad for the GOP. Medicare for All is a lot more affordable than some might think. Emperor SoDumb the First says “No passports for you!” The idiot governor of Jawjastan reopens beaches. Preacher announces EVILgelical “Woodstock” for Easter Sunday. Talibama has COVID-19 growth rate faster than New York’s. People are clueless about masks and no one in the Multimillionaire ForProfit Media is helping.

Happy weekend, everybody! Stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask or pop a binky in your mouth if it makes you feel better. 

I was late to the mic this afternoon. I set out to make a bunch of pulled pork cheesesteaks to share around and promptly ran out of propane, necessitating a trip to exchange the tank (in proper socially distant fashion). Got ’em finished, but it took an hour out of the program. Still, we got our licks in. The Navy punished the captain of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt for trying to protect his crew. Georgia Senator Kelly Loefler sends warm fuzzies to all her rubes, er, constituents. Texas Gov celebrates taking constitutional rights away from women. America gets its youngest COVID-19 victim (not that MAGATS give a tinker’s dam). “Mexican violence,” asked President Emily Litella. 

No April Fool’s. Not these days. News Personality changes white supremacist-adjacent governor’s mind, starts domino effect in Confederacy. Putting the “evil” in “EVILgelical,” gospel sharps try to kick start COVID-19.

Welcome to the end of a full week of programs! We hope you continue to join us in our discussions, either live, or via email, so that we can talk about the problems we’re facing as individuals as well as a nation. Just remember, you aren’t alone because we’re all in this together and we’ll help each other bear the difficulties we face as a team.

Please note in the program the links Dr. Obrien mentions. Articles that give you facts are a precious commodity and theses Journalists are doing a fantastic job of putting together a story that history will mark for generations to come. Be well till we’re together again…..  

A podcast with potential life-saving content. A conversation with Dr. Michael McCawley about the COVID-19 virus, aerosols, particulates, spread, shedding, water droplets, the physics and ballistics of ejection, and most importantly, how to stay safe during this made-worse-by-Trump Plague. Pay attention. What you can’t see CAN kill you.

We seldom prepare in the good and peaceful times to be ready for the difficult times. I’m paraphrasing Dr. Obrien, but this is important. Our pending elections are this year and we’re not prepared in the least. The Pandemic itself stands in testament to how woefully ill prepared we are to deal with anything, let alone something that decides the fate of our nation. Join us for a continuation of this and many more important topics that affect you, our listeners. We’re all in this together, in isolation, in confusion, but most of all in hope that each one of us can continue our journey together in order to see those good and peaceful times once again and share the joy of living.

 

Scofflaw preacher I Florida who made his church a massive COVID-19 transmission site gets busted. Judge Jeanine gets loaded. I discovered my smoker got rusted (couldn’t resist the rhyme). Corona Caligula goes after journalist for quoting him. USNS Comfort arrives in NYC; New Yorkers suddenly forget social distancing and crowd around the see the vessel. As frightening as this crisis is, we aren’t even on the uphill side of the roller coaster . . . yet. We’re going to have to get a LOT better at this if we want to avoid disaster. China may have sandbagged their death toll if the number of urns being distributed in Wuhan is any indication.

Covid-19, a possible Constitutional Crisis, and the 2020 elections. This is what we’re talking about because it affects us all. Not a Party, not a Nationality, but us all. Let’s make this world a better place by addressing the issues that matter…human life.

Once again, if you listen to this program, the news won’t be news to you, because you’ll already know it. Case in point: Christians are beginning to get sick and die from COVID-19 because they won’t stop congregating. News to the world, but not to you. You’re out there ahead of the curve with the rest of the HORN F/C/C. So we’ve got a $2.2 Trillion stimulus. Guess who has no plans to obey the law. Yeah, you know: Corona Caligula. He says he has no intention of reporting to the Inspector General how the slush fund is disbursed. Still, there were some high points. Members of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-SisterFister, KY) got buried in applause when his stupid MAGAT stunt failed to yield a roll-call vote. Over at FoxNewsTVRadioRwanda, Ainsley Airhead wonders where she’ll ever get her nails done. The South is screwing this Trumpandemic up so badly, the virus will burn through there and make Sherman’s March to the Sea look like a weenie roast.

We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!. . . um, wait. We’re Number 1 in COVID-19 cases and Nitwit Nero wants to declare who must go back to work and who may stay home. In short, he’s itching to kill people. Two non-virus related stories of members of the military caught planning mass slaughters. We blow off the Nightly Airing of Grievances. 

What does it mean when a small business has to shut down? The proprietor of the world famous Secret Sandwich Society, Lewis Rhinehart joins for me a conversation. Elsewise: the followers of Christ get their Eugenics on. Britt Hume and the Beckerhead both declare it’s time for older Americans to die for Wall Street. Rick Wiles celebrates the death of a gay lawyer . . . because Jesus. Jim Bakker suspends his colloidal silver hustle. We decide not to broadcast hardly any of COVID Caligula’s nightly egofest. We’re reminded to “Make it personal.”

What is the value of a human life to the Party of Life? What does Trump really think about COVID-19? Which came first, human culture or “the economy?” Does the touted “stimulus” do enough to keep American families above water?
