Editorial: Here We Go Again

Column By Mike Bibb

It’s only been a few years since the Biden Administration nearly wrecked the social norms and economy of the country over a China-manufactured virus, and now we’re being teased that it could happen again.

Then, flu shots and other inoculations with experimental drugs were the recommended remedy. 

The closure of schools, businesses, churches, and certain other facilities was mandated by government officials in the interest of “public safety.”

Many people were required to “work from home.” Visiting friends and family was discouraged to prevent the spread of the virus.

Granny had to celebrate her 83rd birthday via cellphone video.

The sudden appearance of hand sanitizer dispensers was common at store entrances.

Meanwhile, big-box stores, banks, gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other “essential” establishments were allowed to remain open.

The Biden economy sank: “Inflation roared back, shrinking the value of workers’ paychecks. Consumer prices rose 21.5%. Gasoline alone rose 31%. After adjusting for inflation, private-sector average weekly earnings shrank 4%.” — FactCheck.org, Oct. 9, 2025.

Federal and state health departments constantly told us to get the shots and boosters, strap on face masks, wash your hands every fifteen minutes, and “stay at least six feet apart.”

President Biden assured us that if we got the “jab,” we wouldn’t get sick, though he was infected two or three times.

Some people were fired from their jobs if they refused the vaccines.

Millions of dollars were sent to various scams and bogus health care promoters.  

Now, we’re learning that certain medicines in shots from major pharmaceutical suppliers are causing other health issues.

Before leaving office, Biden issued a Presidential Pardon for Dr. Tony “Follow the science” Fauci, his chief medical advisor during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What were the incriminating reasons Biden would pardon his own COVID counselor unless it was to shield him from future prosecution for alleged misdeeds? 

Perhaps the biggest con of all was that we were seriously expected to believe — and blindly comply — with medical directives issued by the same federal government’s cast of characters who didn’t seem to possess the combined brainpower to master the fundamentals of balancing an ordinary checkbook.

Still don’t. Currently, we’re about $40 trillion in the hole and sinking deeper into the mire. That’s 40, followed by 12 zeroes. Can anyone comprehend such a numerical figure — especially in dollars?       

It was insanity gone wild, promoted by individuals totally ignorant of the situation, or intentionally involved in profiting from it.

Didn’t we learn anything from the lunacy?

This time, we’re being warned that it could happen again because of a non-airborne rodent-borne disease found on a medium-sized cruise ship that left southern Argentina and headed for Europe, with several tourists becoming sick. Three have died.

I’d imagine these folks were infected before they boarded the ship.

An unfortunate occurrence, but not near pandemic proportions, no matter how intently the media may try to frighten us.

Actually, the Arizona Department of Health Services advises, “Arizona has detected no Sin Nombre virus (SNV/Hantavirus) cases so far in 2026. In 2025, there were seven confirmed cases, including four deaths, primarily in northern Arizona counties. In 2024, Arizona reported 11 confirmed cases. At this time, there are no confirmed cases or exposures of the Andes virus in Arizona, and the overall risk to Arizonans remains low.” — The Gila Herald, May 13, 2026.

More people have probably choked on a cheeseburger than succumbed to a sickness caused by mouse droppings. 

However, since this particular virus seems to transmit to humans under unsanitary conditions, in areas where rodents have congregated, or when infected people are in extended close contact with each other, the disease appears rather benign.  

Yet the establishment press and political activists are always on the hunt for an excuse to fabricate some kind of “crisis” in order to demand that various government agencies immediately rush to the rescue.

Of course, with government help comes government rules, regulations, and expenses — as we also experienced during COVID.

Including fraud.

From the very beginning, the Coronavirus Disease-19 was suspected to be the result of a laboratory leak, partially funded with U.S. money.

We’ve later discovered, through Congressional investigations and witness testimony, that Dr. Fauci was involved in this endeavor to a considerable degree.

He’s denied any wrongdoing, but his acceptance of Joe Biden’s pardon would seem to suggest culpability.

The “statute of limitations” in prosecuting Fauci for alleged illegal participation in COVID-related issues recently expired on May 11, 2026. 

Meaning, I assume, Biden’s pardon will now protect him from future prosecutions.

Maybe. I’m no lawyer, but I imagine there are probably other ways to skin this cat, or work around the pardon. A clever, seasoned attorney can probably figure out a few angles. 

With all the chicanery being revealed throughout certain government departments, there’s a good chance previously hidden evidence, witnesses, and financial records might be exposed, revealing Fauci’s direct involvement in the COVID bruhaha.

For certain, there’s no denying the COVID years under Biden were a total disaster; the guy was nearly incoherent throughout his single term.

Thousands of people were infected and died, businesses were ruined, and schools were closed because of his incompetent management of a viral threat that nearly paralyzed his already limited skills, other than senselessly repeating the advice of his equally befuddled advisors.

At the same time, his ludicrous open border policies were allowing millions of illegal crossers, many with various diseases and evil intentions, to randomly stroll into the country. 

Surprisingly, liberal Democrats eventually realized Joe himself was aimlessly wandering in the wilderness, clueless to many of the debacles his administration spawned, and finally decided to remove him from seeking reelection in 2024.

I doubt his profile will ever be featured on a U.S. dollar or penny, which we no longer use.

However, his smiling face may eventually appear on postage stamps honoring “The Three Worst Presidents in United States History.”

Sort of reminiscent of the Moe, Larry, and Curley trio.

Wait, actually Joe has been on a postage stamp — in Liberia, Africa.

Why? Not sure, unless Barack sent him over there to get him out of his hair for a few days.

Believe it or not, this isn’t a belated April Fool’s Joke.

Just when you thought you’d heard it all about the “Joe Biden experience,” a new batch of his mind-numbing escapades is revealed.

In an overall review of the COVID, open-borders, inflationary Biden Administration fiasco, one must eventually realize that many of the same people who promoted much of this silliness still walk among us — disguised as well-meaning politicians, bureaucrats, and civil servants.

As a result, lock up your daughters and hide your sons to help prevent future dilution of the family gene pool and the American Way!
