<\/a>Today\u2019s post is a hot mess of many different things, some COVID related, some not. Donald Trump finally signed into law the stimulus package that will be providing money to many out of work Americans, to the medical community and to industry in an effort to keep the stock market from tanking more. Who knows if it will work? Dow Jones will be opening first thing Monday morning, so we\u2019ll see soon enough though I suspect this will be like putting a bandaid on a corpse.<\/p>\n
Just have to note that I watched the press conference where this was announced and it was a sea of boot-licking, brown-nosing, derriere-Frenching nonsense instead of a serious discussion of the problem of the pandemic. We are doomed, held hostage to a thin-skinned blowhard that must be continually praised like the silly king in \u201cThe Emperor\u2019s New Clothes\u201d No real adults in that room.<\/p>\n
Okay, political rant over. Do you know what the Rodrigues family has done during a pandemic for a deadly disease? While their new home state put a shelter in place order in effect? That\u2019s right, a religious conference to promote Jill\u2019s disabled sister\u2019s book.<\/p>\n
What is interesting to note about the conference is that at least one of the attendees ended up diagnosed with the Coronavirus mere days later, meaning the entire conference was a stew of contagion. The Rod kids and others from the conference are sick according to Jill Rodrigues social media. No word on if it is COVID 19.<\/p>\n
But Jill and David Rodrigues are continuing to spread Coronavi.. er.. joy.. eemm.. tracts in the meantime. This was posted on their social media. Notice the lack of nitrile gloves and masks and the fact that they were going door to door during a plague\u2026<\/p>\n
It does not matter how carefully the baggies were loaded with gloves. If the person handing them out is not wearing gloves and WAS exposed to the Coronavirus all you are doing is spreading disease in the name of Jesus. Remember, the virus lived for over 17 days on hard surfaces on one of the cruise ships.<\/p>\n Onto the Duggars\u2026.<\/p>\n A curious situation has developed over the last few days. Remember former Patheo\u2019s author Katie Joy of the defunct blog \u201cWithout a Crystal Ball\u201d? She\u2019s now moved on to doing YouTube videos instead of blogging. She recently interviewed Duggar-adjacent cousin Amy Duggar.<\/a> The interview was live and up on YouTube for a mere few hours before it was suddenly pulled.<\/p>\n Shortly afterward Amy tweeted about\u00a0 being \u201cSilenced\u201d It looks very likely that family patriarch\/control freak\/enforcer Jim Bob Duggar may have threatened her legally, or maybe even Katie Joy. People who heard the interview say that nothing negative was ever said about the Duggar family. Very curious.<\/p>\n Then it all gets very much more curious. Yesterday Katie Joy spoke of her recent discussions with Duggar in law Derick Dillard.<\/a> She shared what Derick had to say and it just confirms many of the rumors about the Duggars through the years. It paints that same patriarch in the worst light possible. Jim Bob Duggar moves beyond control freak in this interview.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
