Darrell Castle talks about why there has been so much hatred, so much vitriol, leading to an attempted coup by certain Democrat politicians against the President of the United States. Transcription / Notes INSANITY IS THE NEW NORMAL Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is the 9th day of October in the year 2020 and that is significant because the 11th day of October, this Sunday is my 72nd birthday. Yes, I’m 72 years old but still in very good health with no virus in sight. The Castle Family is doing fine as well, and I expect I will see the family daughter on video this weekend. Today though, I am talking not about me but about how society reached a peak and then seemed to go in reverse. I claim no knowledge of the future, and I’m no expert on prophecy, but I do claim to having at least a passing grade knowledge of the past. I recall, for example, the famous picture of John Kennedy looking out the window of the oval office, agonizing over the decision he had to make during the Cuban Missile Crises. The nation felt for him and agonized with him, and we trusted him to make the best decision he could. Fast forward to today and we find that when it was announced last weekend that the President was positive for the virus, 40% of Democrats polled said they hoped he died. Sometimes we tell ourselves that Hollywood celebrities are not indicative of the entire Democrat Party then something like this happens and we think they just may be. Society seems to have deteriorated back toward Medieval days of swords, forts, and moats. According to celebrities and political pundits, Trump testing positive reinforced everything they had been telling us for 7 full months. There is good reason to be terrified, wearing a mask is absolutely necessary, staying isolated is necessary, even if you lose your job or business. The hardships and sacrifices were necessary and worth it for the salvation of humanity. Then POTUS did what he does so often and so well; he confounded and infuriated his critics by walking out of Walter Reed Hospital 3 days later to speak to some supporters. He then got on Marine One, flew back to Washington, went to his office, and went to work. The virus it seems, is not much of a threat for most people, kind of like getting any strain of flu. Most people seem to exhibit mild flu like symptoms, like stuffy nose and cough for a couple of days and then it disappears. For some, especially if you are elderly, well, you better take precautions and act as if you understand that. After the President was released, the insanity was elevated to a new level by a tweet from POTUS that was clearly true: “we don’t shut the country down for the flu. We learn to live with it, in exactly the same way that we will obviously have to learn to live with Covid. We can’t shut down all of society in a monomaniacal battle against one thing. There will be horrific consequences.” That view is very defensible, and one held by some of the most eminent scientists and doctors in the world. Six thousand doctors and scientists just signed a statement saying essentially the same thing. Twitter attached a statement to the President’s statement saying it was ordinarily the kind of tweet they would remove, but this time they would let it stand, keeping in mind the public interest involved and of course including their disclaimer. Why some people want to keep us locked down when there is no obvious reason for it is just part of the insanity that is unknowable at this time. My hometown newspaper carried a headline the other day that said that bars and restaurants were now cleared to stay open until midnight. I wonder if the virus suddenly comes out at midnight, or if it gets worse after midnight.  The New York Times carried a piece last Sunday that said that if you get the flu, not COVID, ordinary flu, then you have less chance of being hospitalized, and/or dying, if you have had a flu shot. I thought that the reason for taking the flu shot...
