Posted below is a clip of Joe Rogan discussing the pandemic and shutdowns on his podcast today.  He makes some interesting points and nope, there are going to be no cliff notes.  Enjoy.

I'm not making light of any deaths, but don't folks realize tens of thousands die every year in the US from the common flu? I can't count how many flu deaths I saw as a nurse over 15 years. Too many to remember.

Joe Rogan knows that there is no lockdown than can stop the travels of a mind on DMT.

Americans knowingly voting for "more stuff" for approx. 50 years without a longer term (i.e. mature) view of the consequences have led to the economic virus of progressivism that has creeped up to the doorstep, and that is now WELCOMED by Milinellials.

Perhaps America will finally grow up. Those who don't understand that decisions have consequences that we have to live with (i.e. with no parents, and no government that fixes anything), should be naturally selected for their own extinction.

A Mississippian talking about the perils of "progressivism" is comparable to a heroin addict wagging their dirty fingers at a crack addict!? As if Mississippi's brand of conservatism is the shinning blueprint for all states to model!?

You've got a short memory there bub. I'm a millennial that read Days of Rage by Bryan Burroughs. And it details how you boomers fetishized communism so much that your generation committed acts of terror bombing in hopes of starting a revolution that never came. Then you all settled into jobs in government and academia. You made sure you got yours. Boomer academic "intellectuals" are poisoning the minds of millenials. Boomer politicians are making socialist promises to get votes. Now the Boomer Holocaust is upon you and once again you are demanding that everyone cater to you and your safety.

Right wingers talk about faith all the time. How about this? It’s time to show some faith in the Judeo-Christian values and the Anglo-American legal tradition that are the foundation of this country. They can survive a natural disaster.

@6:58 looks like you got a bad case of the Millenial Derangement Syndrome. Calm down bud.

The Chinese government now is deep into a disinformation campaign denying that this all started in Wuhan. A key component of that campaign is controlling the language used to describe the pandemic, stripping it of its connection to Wuhan and China, mandating that only generic terminology is used. Meanwhile, Chinese diplomats and media spread claims that the virus either started in the U.S. or was planted in Wuhan by the U.S.

So if you claim that calling it Wuhan coronavirus is racist, you are part of the cover-up. Speaking the truth is not the problem, covering up the truth is the problem.

Two things are true at the same time: The Chinese government did this, and Chinese/Asians are not collectively responsible for the Chinese government’s crime against the world and must not be harassed or otherwise discriminated against.

Agree with both 7:42am's.....I'm a right winger with faith though, so not sure they would welcome me. We probably differ though in that I think the only thing that will allow America to survive (natural or man made atrocities) are those exact same things. I have complete faith in them. I just wish more did.

And yes, the boomers suck. This will be their lasting legacy....total destruction of the economy and the world as we know it to hang on for a few more selfish years.

@7:42AM, after reading the ignorance of different post similar to yours, I am disappointed by the jealousy, and bitterness of your age group. Either, it is a small group, that are very vocal on many chat boards, or it is a wide spread misconception among the entire generation. So, as you said in your post, you base your judgement of an entire generation, on one book. Well, aren't you special. In your esteemed judgement, that writer encapsulated the complete contribution of every, as you say, boomer that lived, or continues to live. Is this correct? I imagine you have a list of reasons why you are the loser you are, and nowhere on that list does it mention you. The word that comes to mind when I see your post, and others like it is, cupidity. For you Bible readers that would be covetousness. Good old fashion greed, and jealousy. The sad, sad story of the human condition. In a world of so much promise, you sit, wishing evil on people you don't even know. All the while lusting for the wealth of others. Bless your heart.

Apparently an ex-BIL had left my number on his phone and mistakenly included me in a group text regarding some white militia group he is in and a supposed inside scoop on the POTUS being behind the pandemic. The rednecks in the texts are convinced that the administration has brought the virus here and letting it develop enough to get the uninformed all stirred up and with a few tweaks to the healthcare system to infuriate blacks to the point that they go to the streets rioting and soon overwhelming the National Guard and in desperation calling on local good ole boy militias AKA White Nationalists, to help control the rioters. And added to the mix they think that the black community is being infected by young Aryan infiltrators who are carrying the disease to the ignorant blacks. The cities of Atlanta, Memphis and Jackson are on the agenda for the group my messages came from but they think it's a nationwide plan.

These people are supposed to be intelligent, well respected people. One is an ordained minister. If this is a joke on me someone went to a lot of trouble putting it together, And I haven't had a conversation with any of those involved in years. If it was an accident these intelligent people need to pay better attention.

Why is it that no matter the subject, no matter how irrelevant, clowns post their hatred of the religious? The most hate filled, intolerant people in our culture are the very ones who claim to be enlightened and tolerant.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
