If I were a news reporter and wanted to report truth without political bias I would start asking questions about the things that are affecting us the most. Right now the pandemic is affecting just about everyone but the news media and the Federal government are in lock step and each defends the other. The new mask wearing by vaccinated people is being propped up by the media by citing the raise in cases in Provincetown, MA. Its a joke because Provincetown is a very liberal city with a large gay population. and should have been following all of the Biden protocols but more than that it is a very highly visited tourist destination with main street filled with shops and restaurants. I have been going there every year except last year and omitted it from my travels this year because of the rise in Covid cases. It is a perfect place for the spread of a communicable disease with crowds of people in very limited space. I would ask what the infectious rate was in New York or Pittsburgh to compare the rise of the delta variant. Both the government and the media are pushing the idea that even if vaccinated you are very vulnerable to the disease which makes it hard to ask people especially young people to get vaccinated. The media is perpetuating the disease by reducing those getting vaccinated by just backing up what the CDC is saying instead of challenging them.

We have just celebrated another July forth and it was a great one after a year of shut down due to Covid. A Congressman from California, Maxine Waters, stated that the Declaration of Independence was for white men only. What a shame we have government leaders that do not know our history and want to rewrite it to fit their wishes and hate.

Our President just told the G-7 group that Global Warming was the greatest threat to our nation. He apparently did not hear the news of about fifteen years ago when the Global Warming became Climate Change because the earth had not warmed for fifteen years in a row. The temperature of the earth had stayed the same and that caused the Global Warming enthusiasts like Al Gore to change the name to Climate Change to keep his theory alive and the money rolling in. NOAA or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration decided to do something about the earth's temperature and changed the way they read the ocean buoy temperature reporting. They said that the readings were too low because of the water evaporating and causing a cooling effect therefore the temperature readings were interpolated higher than the actual reading causing the earth's temperature to rise all of a sudden. The fallacy in the maneuver was that it did not matter what or how the readings were interpreted but that they remained the same which would indicate that there was no change up or down. The change in reading satisfied those that had made Climate Change their religion and we are now seeing the world tasking us with future energy problems to solve it. It was really odd that Biden would tell the G-7 this since the USA is the only country that has continually reduced carbon emissions. During the Trump administration we reduced carbon in the atmosphere at a greater rate than we had promised to under former administrations but now this has become the greatest danger to us.

MASKS OR NOT

Its been over a year that we have been told to were masks over our noses and mouth to prevent the spread of Covid 19. We have heard many opinions and scientific reasons for the need of wearing them but with many disagreements between the scientists and politicians. The virus has given the politicians a new power that most have never seen before and the politicians like it. Many are continuing to use it even when the pandemic is nearly over and the spread is very small. The controversy over the use of masks continues after the CDC tells us that if vaccinated or recovered from the virus there is no need to wear masks. My coffee shop is still asking for masks and my Church is still requiring reservations with your temperature taken and signing in. They have limited attendance to about 25% capacity and seem to think that they have become permanent television preachers. Sad and has forced me to attend another Church.

The following letter was written by my friend Dallas Branch. He submitted the letter to the editor of the Dominion Post to be included in the Opinion Section of the paper. It was rejected as mine was a few years ago which was the reason that I started Letters by John. After spending an afternoon on the shooting range Dallas told me about his letter and I replied that I would be willing to post it in my blog as a guest letter. Enjoy.
