It is time to start boycotting these businesses that use slave labor in China. If you want to see what is ahead for us if we don't stop the Chinese from controlling us economically, here is a good preview. Making simple changes like not shopping at a company that does business like this is a start. A simple change on our part.

Today I stood in front of the press to discuss why we ought not to wait another day to remove Tony Navarrete from the Arizona Senate.
A flashback from last year, just ahead of the Mask mandate. I published this and was ridiculed intensely. I still stand by it.
Mickey's Mask: A Critique of Compulsory PPE
Kelly J. Townsend MAS-IFP
May 21, 2020
You have been told that you cannot be in public without wearing a mask. However, you are not sure which mask to wear. You have heard that the N95 mask is like the old Disneyland's E-ticket to pulmonary health, but there aren't any that you can get your hands on so you settle for the "A-ticket" homemade cloth mask, because it's "better than nothing."
Is it better, though?
The face mask that Nanna made you on her sewing machine has pores that range in size from 80 – 500μm.3, 4 Nanometers, that is. When you consider the size of the Coronavirus, which is 60 – 140 μm,1 you realize that your chances of filtering out the virus are about as good as keeping mosquitoes out of your house in July. Let's say you encounter a virus that is only 60 μm, and it finds that 500 μm pore in your mask. That means it passes through that pore with 88% room to spare, and straight into your lungs.
How might that virus find its way to your mask? Since the infection rate here in Arizona at the time of this writing is currently 0.002% (current confirmed cases of 14,897 divided by 7,279,000 people) the chances of that happening are slim, unless you are in a retirement facility where most cases in our state have been found.
Let's say you managed to touch an infected surface. Now two months ago, that was a highly likely source of transmission. However, the CDC has updated its web page and revised its stance and now says that transmission from hard surfaces is unlikely.2 Let's just say you managed to find that unlucky door knob at the Walmart.
Your soiled & infected hand reached up and adjusted your not-so-tight fitting mask, touching it hundreds of times a day because it keeps sliding down when you talk. That nanometer-sized invader is now on the moist cloth you've been wearing during your 8-hour shift and eventually finds the opening. Once you have contracted it, your coughing mouth propels your breath right out the sides of that loose-fitting mask into the air for others to enjoy.
Really, the only true protection you have against catching COVID-19 is wearing either a well-fitting surgical mask or an N95 mask/respirator.6, 7, 8, 9 Except that you can catch the virus through your eyes, so you also must put on well-fitting goggles.19 (Come on now, do the right thing)
If you were to get your hands on a N95 mask, is it safe to wear it for a prolonged amount of time? It seems that studies prior to the Coronavirus pandemic indicated that extended usage of N95 masks could potentially cause problems like pathogenesis in cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and tachycardia, respiratory failure in pulmonary compromised individuals, headaches and skin damage.10-18 I would say that it can be concluded based on available data that making a person in one of these categories wear a mask is more of a risk than a benefit.
Disneyland eventually realized that the ticket book was cumbersome and that it was better to just let the people decide which attraction they would go on, without interference from the Disney powers-that-be. Much the same, since cloth masks are poor-fitting, are 88% ineffective regarding filtering size and a potential health risk of some segments of society, it stands to reason that we should let the individual decide.

MUST SEE: Damning Video Explaining How, Why And Who Stole Election
Many questions about how to fill a vacancy in the legislature. The precinct committeeman of the district will hold a vote and the top three vote-getter's names will go to the County Supervisors who will pick one from those three. It has to be from the same party as the person who vacated the seat. It does not change the minimum number of votes to pass any bill or resolution and will not affect the audit whatsoever. Will probably take about 2-3 weeks to get it done.
Just wanted to point out that the world is watching. This is a universal and visceral reaction everywhere.
JUST IN: Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines will NOT REQUIRE employees to get vaccinated, breaking with United Airlines' mandate that workers get vaccinated by October 25th or face getting fired.
