RESURRECTION

I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This would be the time of year when we all looked forward to spring. One of the first signs of spring was baseball. That started with spring training. But the most important day was opening day. I loved to listen to Ernie Harwell broadcast the Detroit Tiger games. I was always in awe that the weather was already warm enough in places like Detroit that they could play baseball games outdoors. In the UP we were still weeks away from the ice breaking up on Lake Gogebic.

This year there are a lot of indications that a good Spring and Summer is on the way. The vaccine roll-out is really starting to show effect. The CDC has finally stopped lying about COVID 19 test results and they have also stopped lying about the number of people dying from COVID 19. While Joe Biden is putting on photo ops trying to take credit for everything, this is not fooling anyone. Even the MSM knows that the only reason we have that vaccine and the massive number of doses available is because of Donald Trump. This was all in place long before the November election.

I strongly believe by Spring most of the current restrictions will be significantly reduced. Indoor dining will be approved everywhere. Schools will reopen and we will be on a path toward normal. While Democrats desperately want to continue social distancing and masks indefinitely, those days are also coming to an end. It is this simple. As of today, 45,237,143 people have already been vaccinated, 20,607,261 have already received the second dose. Today over 17% of adults over 18 have been vaccinated. But what really matters is who is getting vaccinated. Originally it was given to politicians and first responders. Now teachers are shoving their way to the head of the line. But despite the political correctness, people over 65 are also getting the vaccine. Those are the people who want it and need it. I got my vaccine yesterday; my wife gets hers Friday. Virtually all my friends who are over 65 have either gotten the vaccine already or are scheduled to get it. This means by Easter Sunday, the people most vulnerable to COVID 19 will either have been vaccinated or scheduled to be vaccinated.

The scare tactics used to support social distancing and masks will not work anymore. Since people under age 65 face little risk, even if they get COVID 19. There are always exceptions but there are exceptions with every disease. I predict that soon and very soon there will be a serious national revolt against mask mandates. By summer, people wearing masks will be the exception, not the rule. At some point, sooner rather than later, sporting events will again be open to the public without restrictions. In addition to celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, this year we will be celebrating the resurrection of our country.

Right now, Democrats are celebrating, and they have the bit in their mouth. They are dreaming of a socialist society. But Easter Sunday is right around the corner and soon the winds of change will be blowing strongly in the opposite direction. This will have a profound effect on the political environment. People are sick of being locked down, sick of being scared, and sick of having tyrannical governments control every aspect of our lives. Once people experience true freedom again, they will be highly motivated to prevent anyone from taking it away again. The desire for freedom will spread faster than any disease. The implications for the 2022 election cannot be ignored.

When you celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, pause, and say a brief prayer of thanksgiving and celebrate the resurrection of our country and the restoration of the freedom that will soon be returning. It is always darkest just before dawn.
