This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

I truly believe we yearn to be good. But as selfish animals, that light is in constant conflict with the dark. Self reflection, accountability, and humility lift the spirit to seek balance and harmony. Arrogance and grievance depress the spirit towards anger, hate, and fear, where God cannot abide.

Did y’all hear about ICE showing up at that wildfire and kidnapping (“arresting”) firefighters? This is their statement. If you’re not actively spraying water at a fire, I guess you’re not a firefighter and deserve to be taken to a concentration camp.

Homeland security posting The two illegal aliens apprehended were NOT firefighters. The two contracted work crews questioned on the day of their arrests were not even assigned to actively fight the fire; they were there in a support role, cutting logs into firewood. The firefighting response remained uninterrupted the entire time.
