The Minority of the ELITE

noun. \ ā-ˈlēt , i-, ē- \ 

Essential Meaning of elite. 

1 : the people who have the most wealth and status in a society : the most successful or powerful group of people. 

2 US : a person who is a member of an elite : a successful and powerful person.

The most important characteristic of this so-called ELITE, is the fact that they are always in a MINORITY...  and, if they are in a minority, then the majority should be able to exercise their collective powers and force them out-of-the-picture...

For example:

There are more Canadian Truckers than there are police or tow trucks so they have the advantage over the government who is in a minority.

There are less highway patrol people on the highways than there are drivers, so if the drivers got together and organized they could drive at any speed they wanted to.

There are more whites in America than there are blacks so why are the whites allowing the blacks to push them around

There are more workers in the USA than there are owners or bosses ...so if the workers collectively don't want to work then the workers have the power.

There are less wealthy people than there are others who are not wealthy and yet the wealthy can control our society...  they can do this because we do not collectively stand up against them.

COVID-19 has showed us that the majority once collectively joined can stand up to the elite minority...

• Parents against the VA school Board
• Canadian Truckers against the government
• Unemployed workers against companies
• Americans against facemasks
• Americans against vaccines
• Americans against government control
• Americans against lockdowns
• American against critical race theory
• Americans against being WOKE
• Americans against the cancel culture
• Americans against crime and violence

THINK ABOUT THAT

TSA Masks Extended

Facing criticism for his disastrous pullout of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan, President Joe Biden has instead turned his sights to fighting another war: the pandemic.

On Tuesday, the administration’s Transportation Security Administration announced that it would be extending Biden’s mask mandate through next year — until at least January 18, 2022. As one of his first acts in office, Biden enacted the federal mask mandate covering air, train, and bus transportation in the United States.

“The purpose of TSA’s mask directive is to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on public transportation,” a TSA spokesperson said, Reuters reported.

“The mask mandate has been controversial and has led to many encounters between passengers who don’t want to wear a mask and flight attendants asked to enforce the rule. The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday that airlines have reported 3,889 incidents involving unruly passengers this year, and 2,867 — or 74% — involved refusing to wear a mask,” reported the Associated Press.

The agency’s mask mandate fell out of line with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this year, when the health agency stated that vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks except on rare occasions. However, those guidelines were later revised, putting back in place more restrictions and urging fully vaccinated people to wear a mask indoors.

Regulations by the CDC and TSA have not been without their detractors. Republicans in Congress have pushed back on the guidance and regulations, with Sens. Ted Cruz and Kevin Cramer introducing legislation last week to ban mandatory masking and vaccine regulations.

Cruz wrote in a statement:
Thanks to vaccinations and the natural immunity of Americans who have recovered from COVID-19, America is reopening. America is recovering, our kids are going back to school, and small businesses are returning as our nation’s economic heartbeat. At the same time, President Biden is imposing unscientific and burdensome mandates to control Americans’ lives.

We as a country have taken extraordinary steps to defeat this disease, and I’m proud we’ve taken these steps. Unfortunately, we have also imposed enormous harms on our economy and people’s lives and livelihoods, and we need to balance all of this appropriately. My view on vaccines is simple. I got the vaccine because it was the right choice for me. But I also believe in individual freedom. No one should force anyone to take the vaccine-including the federal government or an employer. Americans should have the choice to make their own medical decisions in consultation with their doctor.

To protect the rights and privacy of Americans, I’ve introduced legislation that would prohibit federal COVID mandates. This means no mask mandates, no vaccine mandates, and no vaccine passports. My legislation also provides civil rights protections for employees from their employers, to stop discrimination based on vaccination status. The American people must have the freedom to exercise personal choice when it comes to protecting their health and the health of their families.

Where Do We Go For The Truth???

1. 
   Do we need to wear facemasks or not?
   
2. Are we protected from COVID if we are vaccinated?
3. Are we really following the science or not?
4. Do facemasks really help?
5. Do we need another lockdown?
6. Do children need to wear facemasks?
7. Are teacher's unions just being self-serving?
8. Are American companies investing in China?
9. Is China growing faster than the US?
10. Does China have a bigger military than the US?
11. Had US educated become diluted?
12. Do Americans know how to retain knowledge?
13. Why is our southern border so open to illegal immigration?
14. Is there a different set of rules for the wealthy and/or powerful?
15. Why do some many Americans use illegal drugs?
16. Is the US still a racist country?
17. Does the mainstream media censor the NEWS?
18. Is our national debt really a problem?
19. Does too much government spending cause inflation?
20. Can you really trust politicians to tell you the truth?

NOTE:  Ever since Donald Trump became President of the USA, we have had problems with the division in this country...  and, it appears that this division is GETTING STRONGER instead of weaker putting us in a position of being NOT UNITED at all...  If fact, we are moving from what MLK Jr wanted which was judging a person on their character not their color...  currently, we want to judge people on their color, not their character.  This is resulting from the BLM movement, and CRT race theory that educators are saying is not being taught in our public schools...  yet, the students come home and say that it is...  We are not being taught that being white is BAD and being black is GOOD...  THAT IS COLOR NOT CHARACTER...   Einstein...

Stimulus Checks

In 2020, when the COVID virus was finally detected in the USA, my wife and I cancelled all of our
vacation plans for a couple of reasons:

• we were in an older age bracket
• we had compromised immune systems

My wife and I had been retired for over 5 years and were living off of Social Security and a Trust Fund that would eventually end, putting us in a situation where we would have to start drawing down on our SAVINGS.  However, and based upon our lifestyle, we had plenty of money to continue living exactly as we wanted to live and had been living for the last 5 years.  Our needs were simple and we had no DEBT and we pretty much could do whatever we wanted to do...  as long as we could drive there in a car...  if air transportation was involved, it was a slightly different story, even with our Delta Frequent Flyer Point that we were receiving each month.

SO...

when the stimulus checks arrived...  the first one was $2,400 and the second one was $1,200 we simply put that money into our savings account as we did not need it.  We DID NOT SPEND that money to stimulate the economy and we did not use that money to pay for any vacation because we were not going anywhere anyway.

My wife and I both felt like OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOOLISHLY sent us money and while we had no problem accepting that money...  it was not needed.

NOW...

the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS want to spend more money so that our Federal Government can grow larger and larger...

In my 73 years of life, I have NEVER SEEN OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT manage anything well regardless of political party.  Governmental BUREAUCRACY simply MAKES EVERYTHING WORSE...   and, when people know that they are not going to be fired from employment, then their quality of work DECLINES proportionately with their attitude.

COVID Norms

For almost a year, we, as a nation of people have modified our schedules, stayed locked up in the house...  only leaving for emergencies, to purchase necessities, or to see the doctor, and have pretty much worn a facemask everywhere we have gone.  Some of us have not been able to go to work for a while because certain businesses in certain States were prohibited from opening.  Our Federal Government, recognized the problem and sent out everyone $1,200 and followed that up with another $600...  however, for a couple that amounted to about $3,600 which was a drop in the bucket for those who were unable to work for 6 months...  and, amounted to about one month of expenses.

But...  with that said, the cost to the American Taxpayer was high...  because our Federal Government gets it money for the most part from taxes.

Now, we are facing new problems even with the vaccine because it will take another year before everyone in the USA has received the vaccine and some of our school teachers in grade levels K-12 are still very nervous about going back to work and risk catching the virus.  Consequently, some of our school children are missing out on their educational futures and could very easily fall behind academically a good 2 years unless their parents have been home-schooling them...  and, while home-schooling is a viable alternative it may not be appropriate for everyone.

While COVID still prowls over our country, we have an increase in violence prowling over our larger cities...   like New York City and other cities of a relatively similar size...  Most of this violence is in the Northern part of our country, but violence has a way of relocating to other areas and if violence needs to go somewhere, it will no doubt travel south.  However, violence is usually restricted to the cities proper and if it were to move South, it would not move into those rural areas because of our SECOND AMENDMENT and the fact that MANY SOUTHERNERS own multiple firearms and keep their usage certifications current...   especially since HUNTING is one of SOUTHERNERS favorite past times.

Older folks are more susceptible to COVID than younger people but younger people can be infected with the virus but display no symptoms making it deadly for older people to spend a lot time in public without wearing protection...   although, wearing a face mask does not protect the wearer of the face mask but other people...  so, the only way for older people to protect themselves is to not be around people who are not wearing face masks.

Healthcare workers have informed me that the wearing of facemasks is likely to be the NEW NORM for several years out into the future...

COVID Lingering Around

One of my doctors told me that the vaccine was available, but when I checked the local health department, they informed me that it was for only healthcare workers, and seniors 75 years old and older which leaves my wife and I waiting a little longer.  And, it really is no big deal since we are both retired and don't need to go anywhere and because we vacations so much when we first retired, we are kinda "burned out" on traveling...   messing around with all the crap at airports, trying to find where to go at foreign airports, hotel accommodations, inconvenience of luggage, food availability, ground transportation, and spending hours in a car driving to the coast whether it be the east coast or the gulf coast, and the friendliness of locals and hotel staff.,

We have been on 10 Cruises, traveled to Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard, NYC, Chicago, Denver, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Vegas, Seattle, LA, DC, Gulf Coast, and numerous places in Florida with our traveling plans pretty much encompassing every other month for a week or two.

It is nice to finally stay at home and have no place to go.

But, when we do go places, only about 80% of the people are wearing facemasks and of those 80%, I would say about 10% are wearing them inappropriately...  this is especially true in places where facemasks are not mandatory.

It shows me that AMERICANS don't really listen to the advice of the doctors or their leaders and don't seem to care if they catch the virus or not.  These people are not just young, but middle aged, and older.  With this type of behavior, the virus is going to be around for a long time...
