Smokescreens (An Exclusive Opinion)

 

According to Newsweek, “Thousands of people living across a swath of southern California have been urged to avoid grilling, burning incense and using gasoline-powered garden tools by the National Weather Service (NWS) amid a series of air quality alerts for fine particle pollution.”

So, due to wildfire smoke-- caused largely by liberal man’s dumb-ass policies-- from fires consuming tens or hundreds of thousands of acres or more, the National Weather Service or some such agency gets to tell us not to grill…or burn incense? Are there millions of folks incessantly burning incense of which I’m unaware? If so, they’re likely Lefties, too. No government entity should be able to tell us we can’t grill a burger, light a match, or till our gardens because there are fires raging somewhere else. Fires that have been raging for months and months, in Canada’s case.

In Minnesota, during the frequent periods when toxic Canadian wildfire smoke has invaded the state, there are highway signs everywhere saying, “Air Quality Alert—Consider Reducing Trips.” No! You don’t get to tell us that, you asshats! Our cars have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the area is choked with dense smoke, to the ground, and the fact that we can’t see more than half a mile ahead of us. It is toxic smoke from massive and long out-of-control conflagrations in northern and western Canada. What of that do you clowns not understand?! We shouldn’t have to consider not going in to work because the progressive morons in control of Canada (or California) can’t—or won’t—douse their bleeping fires, citizens and neighbors alike be damned.

A more accurate and effective sign would be placed on the Canadian border facing north and state: “Consider putting out your bleeping fires…or risk being annexed by the United States.”

Or perhaps: “Consider moving to Texas or Florida if you’d like to keep your health and avoid lung cancer.”

Or even: “Consider taking up smoking. It’s really not going to make a difference anymore.”

But don’t blow smoke up our asses. And don’t tell us we can’t drive, grill, or even tend our garden or meditate. It’s beginning to look like COVID-1984 all over again.

Let’s pray all this smoke goes away soon.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
