BEATING DOWN COVID
MAJOR NEWS STATIONS ACROSS THE NATION announced "lock down," ...mandatory announcement in March of 2020... THIS IS NBC NEWS...The White House and all prominent public health officials have urged people across the country to stay at home as much as possible to prevent the spread of the corona virus. Nonetheless, governors of five states have yet to issue lock down orders for their residents, and three states have issued only partial measures..." This was the President's orders. A stressed overtaxed president being brow beaten for the usual national safety measures, NASA concerns for "being the first" out there and other governmental departments resettling for the ongoing monthly eruptions by resigning or fired staff members. His trusty VP at his side, he and Federal Emergency Management Agency operatives for Emergency Management projects inherited from the prior administration meant to guarantee our status of security and response to every possible form and source of terrorism, were confronted with an assault on the health of the American population. A national terrorism concerning population health is the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Health and Human Services CENTERS for DISEASE CONTROL supported by the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. It was a potential health crisis, our ability to respond, react and recover on a national basis. No president dealt with such a scare since the 2015 -2016 ZIKA VIRUS PANDEMIC. There was the 2014 EBOLA outbreak that did not last, and the 2002-2004 SARS... Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus called SARS-associated coronavirus. We had fallen short for response but recovery was quick, it didn't last and did not progress throughout out millions. COVID came on the tail end of beefing up security levels for terrorism of war. After the drug raid at Manuel Noriega's Nicaragua to diminish and deplete drugs being brought into the United States, a short end abandonment of mission brought military home and some military units of Nicaragua in pursuit for vengeance at the destruction of that nation's economy which relied heavily on production of those drug substances. That mission cut short, focus was turned to defending Kuwait in 1990. Forces were shipped over seas to battle Iraq. Concerns for national security were set high in regard to terrorism strikes via the health of American population. The ability of government entities to respond on short notice with precision defense and recovery among the common folk would be a project worth effecting. The shut down of the nation to provide ample time for medical resolve was mandatory. The president held the population still; he was the only one who could.

Fukuyama’s “End of History”: A Liberal Triumph or an Unfinished Debate?
The End of History: Fukuyama’s Argument Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History presents a compelling thesis: human societies progress towards a final form of governance, but rather than a communist utopia, as Marxists once believed, it is liberal democracy that emerges as the ultimate model. Following the collapse of Soviet-style socialism, he argues that the free market and democratic governance have proven superior, offering economic prosperity and individual freedoms that no other system has effectively rivaled.

“Go Back to Where You Came From!”
I changed from my sweaty gym clothes with a smile on my face. That game was good. Really good. The voices around me seemed to agree with my inner dialogue; some voices were filled with frustration (the losing side) while my teammates gloated and recounted the game’s key moments with pride and excitement in their voices.

Living in a Bizarro World
We live in a time where I keep expecting to walk into a room and be greeted by, “Smile, you’re on candid camera!.” The world makes no sense to me and I am 55 years old. I have see a lot of shit in my life. I am not naive nor a bitter man. I see things how they are and judge them based on undeniable truths. Not opinions or means to gain any yardage in my attempt to score.

The Nightmare of a Supervirus
I was endlessly fascinated by viruses when I was growing up. I remember reading Richard Preston's classic chilling account of American virologist's battling ebola in Zaire in The Hot Zone. I first read that book on a packed airplane, and it dawned on me at one point that I was sharing air and germs with about 400 other human petri dishes at that very moment.
