The trope of "just shut up and wear a mask" is not science, ordered liberty, or constitutional governance. It's what they do in North Korea. We need real debate on the effectiveness of masks, the type of masks, the situations in which they are worn, the duration of time, the benchmarks that need to be met to measure effectiveness, and the process for promulgating these rules. We are no longer 24 hours into an emergency. We are four months into this virus, and it's time to function like the representative republic that we are. There are numerous political and scientific questions any thinking person should be asking at this point: Why did the CDC, World Health Organization, and such luminaries as Fauci and Surgeon General Jerome Adams so emphatically dismiss the effectiveness of masks, then flip 180 degrees to the point where they shame people who don't wear them, without ever explaining what changed? While we learn more about the virus every day, the micro-biology of the particles hasn't changed, and the premise that non-professional masks worn by non-trained professionals run the risk of counterproductive cross-contamination did not change. The suggestion that this is needed to protect others raises the obvious question: If me not wearing a mask transmits the virus to others who are wearing a mask, then is that not an admission that masks do not work to stop a respiratory virus that is microscopic and gets through the mask? Garbage in, garbage out. It makes no sense to suggest it doesn't penetrate the transmitter's mask from inside-out, especially with the air pressure of a cough or sneeze, but can penetrate the mask of the receiver through suspended molecules that are stagnant without pressure pushing those molecules outside-in to the receiver. If anything, the opposite should be true – it should be more effective for protection of yourself. How can mask-wearing work when everyone just stores them in their pockets to collect bacteria, as our government officials predicted from day one? How could kids ever keep it clean and not collect more bacteria, and where is the evidence that children are even a vector for viral transmission? My home county is mandating that even two-year-olds wear masks. How can anyone suggest that children can keep them clean, and where is the evidence that young children are a vector for transmitting the virus, when numerous studies from other countries have shown the opposite? Mask-wearing in all of the major cities – from Los Angeles to Miami – has been in place and followed by pressure and community shaming for months. Compliance in most of these places has been off the charts, according to the NYT. Yet the virus is still spreading more than before the mandate. The virus is now spreading in Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, which have near universal mask-wearing. At what point does the mask cult have to provide evidence of the effectiveness of these unconstitutional mandates, and at what point do benchmarks have to be met to maintain such a draconian and life-altering requirement? Do masks that are continuously reused, cross-contaminated, and not properly disposed of become a trap to further transmit the virus or become retainers for other pathogens – or at the very least for bacteria, which are larger than viruses – that can harm the mask-wearer and others alike? What are the known side effects to one's health after wearing these masks for hours on end in the heat, especially for children in school? Does long-term mask-wearing lower oxygen levels and compromise our immune systems? Do masks cause people to touch their faces more often, the exact opposite of what was originally the desired result? To this day, there has never been a clinical study with randomized controlled trials in non-health-care settings that vouch for the effectiveness of universal mask-wearing in public. All we have so far are anecdotes and laboratory filtration studies, not real human-to-human studies. When asked about conducting one, Dr. Fauci said there is no intention to do so. In fact, he went from resolutely dismissing the idea of wearing masks in March to now telling a group of Georgetown University students that he couldn't even conduct a study because he was so scared of having even a study group go without masks!

LCM

At least they agreed to play one Orange County school.

I’m very interested PA Defense vs PNG offense... especially down in the trenches the PA Dline vs PNG Oline match up...

The majority of Yates Fans are probably not familiar with LCM or what district they play in. Good to see a SETX team play in the Lions Den. To be political correct, it’s going to be an interesting game for a qtr. If you think the fans are nasty in SETX wait until you visit 3rd Ward. Yates doesn’t have a student section at their home games at the school. After the blowout stop by Frenchy’s Chicken, it’s a 3rd Ward thang.

I don’t think I’ve seen an LCM player other than Jason Throop who would have gotten significant minutes for any Yates team in the past 20-30 years. This year is no different.

Remember Nick Sandmann, the teenager disparaged by most of the Liberal Media that accused him of outrageous behavior when he and his classmates went to Washington DC, many wearing MAGA hat? They were verbally assaulted by the Black Israelites and an old Indian who got in his face. CNN paid in January. Today, the might WaPo paid out too. Glad to see the purveyors of Fake News exposed! [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] will he be looked at as a racist? will he be ostracized?

They'll probably meet in the playoffs and just from recent memory that's where you don't wanna meet Carthage, you wanna get em early in the season and see if you can get lucky.

They did it like that because of 2 major county shutdowns. They got it right. Unfortunately there are a few schools who got messed over but it's not a great majority.

Well, the previews are not due 'til next week and the week after but I guess I can reveal them here.

No, I agree. I love it for those kids. Especially the underclassmen. It shows them what’s possible.

So LC-M basketball gets Houston Yates on the schedule and now LC-M football gets Carthage on the schedule. Bears taking some big bites this season.

Wish he would come back. We went 10-0 and beat WOS lol

LCM should have Homecoming that week since Surratt coming back to old stomping grounds. 😂

Hope to be in Jasper that night anyway. Good luck Bears.

There are plenty of people who turn to sports to escape the everyday political and social stresses and now that outlet is tainted as well.

@WOSgrad LCM plays Carthage Sept 11

You spelled Silsbee wrong .... just saying

Defense should be best it’s been in a while. Offense is the question mark will last year soph. qb make a leap forward.. will he be challenged?

I have a daughter that lives in 3rd ward. (TSU) Timmy Chan’s is my stoping place after any trip to 3rd ward...

Excellent read. Thanks!

if ya scared … say ya scared...lol

I was joking . Ain’t really know your position. I feel the exact same.

That should be an advantage for Vidor. Vidor will be in their normal Friday routine. 😁

LCM did not want to play the 2019-2020 Yates Team, trust me it would have been a one sided game.

She wasnt even good in a league of their own.

I said last 20-30 years, not last 40-50...

I'm thinking Van Wade could have played for Yates.

Does that BOJO magic work for the hardwood?😂

What if they are immune?

Do not agree with gay marriage but would in no way support any legislation against it. In fact, I think the gov should get completely out of the marriage business. No tax break if you're married, no penalty if you're not. Who anyone marries is their business.

Since attendance at HS football games is limited, I could imagine a flock of drones flying over the fields. I could make an anonymous 911 call for you TVC so you could check it out (if you can’t get in a game 😄).

The washington post and cnn made this kid rich, there's some good in everything.

Hear he is scheduling some teams down this way. LC-M is one of them.

Oh let’s not forget to check this baby background and see if he was high or not. My point is I’m smart enough to know this is wrong. I won’t try to justify this man actions nor put blame on the victim. but I don’t have to wonder if this idiot was giving free Burger King

We lose more kids to abortion....where is the humanity s concern.

There s no cure for the flu either....people get the flu shot and sometimes still get it. Viruses mutate...... I respect it. Me and my wife Got the covid before this came a big deal (mid December) and beat it without any help from doctors. Oh and I have 5 kids and none of them got it. Viruses have to run its course. i don’t have Facebook or any other type of social media. This site is the only one I communicate on. i will do what ever my employer says. again we are just hurting healthy people s immunities. Those that have underlying issues are the ones that need to protect themselves. Not the healthy ones.

Way more kids died from the Flu this past season than the Covid-19, and way more adults have died from Covid-19 in the ages 65 and above and with underlying conditions for the most part. Now the vast (not all) amount of teachers are well under 65 years of age. So in my opinion we just need to open the schools and quit living in fear that some politicians and a lot of the media are shoving down our throats.
