When it comes to masks, I’ve reached my limit, not that it matters; I’ll just have to set a new one. I realize there’s not much I can do about my frustrations, except vent (such an ironic word!), given life in sunny California, but I wish there were.
Over the weekend, I went to the farmers’ market, where I had to wear my mask on a sunny morning, fogging my glasses and making breathing as uncomfortable as ever. This, despite my constructing masks that are a thin single layer of light cotton jersey.
Friday, I was at the gym, again yearning to breathe free. Nothing says “loss of individual freedom” like running on the elliptical in a mask. There are signs from one end of the gym to the other, about every six feet on the wall, reminding us we must remain masked. That taking the thing off will result in loss of membership.
Since I just got my membership back, after a year-plus of frustrating and unreasonable closure, I’ve knuckled under. I know it’s not the management’s desire to do this to me; they just live in fear of a visit from the Environmental Health inspector. Or being called out by an irate, do-gooder, ignorant, paranoid-of-COVID fellow member. So, even though I’m the only person within 30 feet, given that I exercise mid-afternoon on weekdays, a time when our little gym is always mostly empty, pandemic or not (which IMO there no longer is), I follow the rules (when anyone’s looking).
I decided to look up masking studies online yet again, to see if anyone had actually gathered the information that used to be scattered here and there from this and that study, and then analyzed it scientifically. Do masks do anything positive enough to make us wear them? That is the question at hand, after all. I already know on a personal, empirical level that they have negative effects on respiratory and mental health. My search yielded this, from last July:
The foregoing data show that masks serve more as instruments of obstruction of normal breathing, rather than as effective barriers to pathogens. Therefore, masks should not be used by the general public, either by adults or children, and their limitations as prophylaxis against pathogens should also be considered in medical settings.
That was confirmed in a Stanford study published in November at the National Institutes of Health — although the leftists have tried hard to hide it. They like us afraid and isolated.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
