Rep. Don Young has checked in. Sen. Dan Sullivan has checked in. Poor LISA is probably in doubt, or she’s holed up in the janitor’s closet. She has not posted a single word about Covid19. No LISA, no one will love you for that. Not even the Democrats.
I get 2 extra weeks to spend with my lovely daughter and enjoy our time together.
It is a blessing in disguise that her school is closed. It’s a great time to do spring cleaning .
That’s not true. I saw her singing a little tune while teaching us to wash our hands.
Let’s see, it’s been common knowledge that this has been coming for about 3 months.
Yeah, now after the spread has already reached nearly every corner of the globe, some people are finally starting to open their eyes to what their leaders have been either ignoring, denying or lying about.
I think that’s pretty fairly unconscionable.
The Doomsday virus has arrived.
Kudos to Governor Dunleavy for how he is handling this. He is leading as an Alaskan. It gives me hope in his ability to continue to do so.
If it were called the Wuhan flu, would anyone care so much, or at all?

Say you figured how to defeat America by helping its news media and Democrat Party depose an American president, disrupt America’s economy, push Americans into pointless panic, and force Americans to give up their Constitutional rights
.
… without firing a shot.

Would you do it?
