IN GUNS WE TRUST.
“In God We trust”, also written as “In God we trust”, is the official motto of the United States of America and of the U.S. state of Florida. It was adopted by the U.S. Congress in 1956, supplanting E pluribus unum, in use since the initial 1776 design of the Great Seal of the United States.
In a newspaper interview, American actor Brad Pitt noted, “America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA.” He has used guns in numerous roles on screen, but unlike many of his acting counterparts, he does the same off-screen. “It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun,” he said. “I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere.” His claim that guns are in America’s DNA is clearly metaphorical; genetics does not, after all, recognize national borders. But it’s worth asking exactly what he meant by it, especially as his comment came amid a spate of gun-related crime.
Is this comment by American actor Brad Pitt contradicting what the founding fathers of America stood for?
Let us keep watching the Second beast of (Revelation 13:11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon
The Whole world is in Pandemonium.

How will Covid-19 end?

Will that happen with Covid-19?

One possibility, historians say, is that the coronavirus pandemic could end socially before it ends medically. People may grow so tired of the restrictions that they declare the pandemic over, even as the virus continues to smolder in the population and before a vaccine or effective treatment is found.

“I think there is this sort of social psychological issue of exhaustion and frustration,” the Yale historian Naomi Rogers said. “We may be in a moment when people are just saying: ‘That’s enough. I deserve to be able to return to my regular life.’”

It is happening already; in some states, governors have lifted restrictions, allowing hair salons, nail salons and gyms to reopen, in defiance of warnings by public health officials that such steps are premature. As the economic catastrophe wreaked by the lockdowns grows, more and more people may be ready to say “enough.”

“There is this sort of conflict now,” Dr. Rogers said. Public health officials have a medical end in sight, but some members of the public see a social end.

“Who gets to claim the end?” Dr. Rogers said. “If you push back against the notion of its ending, what are you pushing back against? What are you claiming when you say, ‘No, it is not ending.’”

The challenge, Dr. Brandt said, is that there will be no sudden victory. Trying to define the end of the epidemic “will be a long and difficult process.”
