These two pictures of Memorial Day Commemoration on Monday (5/25) have starkly contrasting messages. The one above projects courage to live without needless fear, the one below projects the necessity of needless fear.
Patricia McCarthy in her The Mask Police of the Left this week (5/27) notes that we didn’t have this virtue-signalling tyranny when the Chicom-Democrat-Media Virus was at its peak. Now that we’re opening up and we know it’s no more or even less lethal than seasonal flu, all of a sudden everyone has to wear a mask. Why? Because:

I’m on the right, Chris on the left. The jump was performed at the Skydive Perris drop zone in Perris, California. It’s only fitting I post this on TTP in honor of those whom we memorialize in gratitude on this day.

Yesterday (5/27), the Communist government of China ruled to end Hong Kong’s autonomy. It is the latest perfidy demonstrating how the Beijing regime is humanity’s greatest enemy of freedom in the world today.
But only the latest – far from the worse.
Chinese Communist – or Chicom for short – evil is epitomized by its founder, Mao Tse-Tung, being listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Greatest Mass Murderer in human history – and reconfirmed by scholar researchers in Mao’s Great Famine
And today, his political heirs in Beijing have pulled off a feat of utter depravity that would have made Mao proud.

There have been several great columns on the debate over mask-wearing in public. Scott McKay at American Spectator explains why the mask is essentially useless: The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus, gang.
The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning it’s too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks you’re reasonably going to find, are 0.3 microns.
The vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks, which perform far less well.
Over at Powerline, John Hinderaker writes about how “wearing face masks has become a cultural divide….On the left, mask wearing has become a basic marker of good citizenship, no matter how silly it may be…”

Even Trump-supporters have wondered about Trump's tweets implying that MSNBC's Joe Scarborough had something to do with a young intern's death in his office when he was still a Florida congressman.
It's true that Scarborough and his co-host and wife Mika Brzezinksi have spent three years accusing Trump of treasonous collusion with the Russians, but Trump's venom still seemed strange.
I, however, don't think it was strange at all. Trump is one of the most calculating, rational people ever to occupy the White House.
So Trump set a trap. On Tuesday (5/26), the Twitter mouse took the bait.

Each day that the Obama administration fades into the past, its wrongdoings manage to wander back into the present.
After years of suppression, all sorts of strange events keep popping up to remind us of what little is left of the Obama. The list is so overwhelming and bizarre that it ensures that anything at any time can now appear.
And the result keeps reminding Americans of how corrupt were the years between 2009 and 2017 and how untruthful was the coverage of such institutionalized wrongdoing. Let us recount all the detritus of the failed Obama Presidency.

We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore is now America’s Response to the Fascist Lockdowns:
How, then, is Not Taking It Anymore being implemented? There are several ways. One of them involves putting Fascicrat Governors in jail.
Read more...You know their names. Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, Inslee, Pritzker, Murphy, Northam, Wolf. You know how their psycho lockdowns have ruined countless lives and businesses.
What you may not know is that one particular executive order of theirs has caused the death of hundreds, even thousands in their state – and for each one they can be criminally liable and sued personally.
We’ll start with New York’s Gov. Cuomo.

Sometimes, a good rant is all a writer can offer. Bear with me.
Last Friday morning (5/15), some 3,500 New Yorkers lined up at a Catholic church in Queens to receive free food hours before it even opened, according to the New York Police Department. Catholic Charities has reported a 200 percent increase in demand over the past month and a half.
By prolonging the coronavirus shutdown long after its core mission was accomplished, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio have plunged tens of thousands of New Yorkers into poverty.
It needs to end. Now.

It was the model that shocked the world.
In mid-March, British researchers led by epidemiologist Neil Ferguson issued an alarming study that predicted 2.2 million Americans would die of COVID-19 by August without immediate, draconian measures to halt its spread.
As the virus rampaged across the country, more than 80 percent of Americans would be infected, the experts warned, causing massive shortages of hospital beds and intensive care units. Death and misery would be the new norm for months to come.
Ferguson’s computer model is responsible for the entire lockdown pandemic hysteria ever since. Now it’s being rightly condemned as “the most devastating software mistake of all time, in terms of economic costs and lives lost.”

One has to wonder, do those on the left, including the media, actually think Joe Biden is a viable candidate for president?
Do they not realize that Nancy Pelosi is as senile as Joe? Like Joe, she often slurs her words, suffers brain freezes mid-sentence, and spews gibberish. The President was simply saying yesterday (5/19) what everyone can see, that “Pelosi is a sick woman. She’s got a lot of problems, a lot of mental problems.”
Biden is a lifelong corruptocrat, a known plagiarist, a pathological liar, and a truly mean and evil man. You can catch a glimpse of just how mean in the film about Clarence Thomas; it was Biden who grilled him mercilessly during the hearings over Anita Hill's phony allegations.
Biden is a racist as well. Pelosi is a lifelong power-mad lunatic. They are the twin albatrosses around the neck of the Democrat Party.

In the entire 2016–19 efforts to derail the Trump campaign, transition, and presidency, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Steele, and the FBI, Department of Justice, CIA, and other government bureaus have consistently sought to distort reality.
Some of our best and brightest have destroyed evidence, altered documents, lied, leaked, and pled amnesia when questioned about their reprehensible conduct. At each stage, they were aided and abetted by a compliant media.
The dissimulation over the past four years has fallen into four rough categories. Here are a few examples of each.

Remember, these are the same geniuses who are always wrong yet expect us to pay attention to their special insights into current events. Sheesh. On the upside, it’s becoming clear that we have a good shot at sending Nancy Pelosi back to Scat Francisco.
Plus, I want to intro you to an Army guy who is trying to take a swing seat away from Nancy’s bestest purple district buddy!
