As I sat at a local watering hole a couple weeks ago -- no, it's true, I drink beer -- I sat next to a group of local businessman as they talked important stuff.

They talked about win-win scenarios and maximizing profit and monetizing non-economic entities. (Do they teach this language in business schools?)

On their way out, most took advantage of the free hand sanitizer as they left.

But one said, "No, that's for liberals."

I had to laugh at the politicization of hand sanitizer. What's next? I wondered. Chapstick?

But it's not funny that some leaders eschew common-sense protection against a potentially lethal virus. The failure to listen to science likely has led to additional deaths. It also sets a bad example for followers.

And now the lead anti-science politician has COVID-19.

I hope the president and his wife and any others get over the virus quickly and survive. Anyone who takes joy in the tragedy of another is a piece of crap. I also hope the White House begins to listen to common-sense measures much of the country adheres to.

My friends, I want all of you to survive. Those who don't like me? I want you to survive as well.

But part of that is listening to health experts and making smart decisions based on expertise and not politics. I've been in journalism long enough to know the intellectual IQ in politics is much lower than other fields.

Science is smarter than politics.

Have a beautiful weekend and be safe.

Peace and health unto you my brothers and sisters.

  1. I do not worship many gods, but one is irony. I guess that makes me a piece of crap. In my defense, I do not want Trump to escape his day of reckoning before the American people. So let us pray for his enduring recovery. Although Herman Caine comes to mind. And the POTUS health info the WH has clamped down cannot in any way be good.

    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me.

  10. I'm so excited to share my testimonies about the Good Work of Dr odoma who cured my HIV/AIDS with his herbs, I never thought that I would live on earth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HIV) for the past (2)years now; I have spent a lot of money going from one Hospital to another looking for ways to get rid of this disease, the hospital has been my home everyday. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this fateful day, I was searching
    through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Odoma helped someone in curing his HIV disease using his healing
    Herbs, quickly I copied his email just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to a preparation for the herbs items, of which I did exactly what he instructed me to do, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he
    did, few days after i went back to the same hospital that previously confirmed me as HIV/AIDS positive and this time the result declared me negative to the deadly disease of HIV/AIDS....so I decided to share my testimony, that nothing is impossible with God, God use a man to healed me. No matter what you are passing through, no matter how deadly the sickness is and no matter what the situation is, God that did mine is still going to do yours, suffering from AIDS, ALS, asthma.. Cancer, any kind of disease, you can reach him now via ? Gmail address: (DR odomasolutionhome20@gmail. com) WhatsApp number (+2348100649947)

  12. I couldn't be more grateful for Francisco Hacker's exceptional service. After falling victim to a Bitcoin scam and losing $110,000USD in Usdt, I felt helpless and devastated. However, a close friend recommended Francisco Hacker, assuring me that he could help. Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try. And boy, am I glad I did! Francisco went above and beyond to recover my lost funds. He guided me through the process with patience and professionalism, keeping me informed every step of the way. Thanks to his diligence and expertise, I was able to reclaim my $110,000 in Usdt and regain my financial stability. I highly recommend Francisco Hacker to anyone in a similar situation. He truly cares about his clients and will work tirelessly to recover what's rightfully yours.
