Ah, what this week?

Let’s begin with at least a few HAPPY STORIES before we delve into the morose material — because all work and no play makes BZ a dull boy.

HAPPY STORY: Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis paves the way for logic and safety.

Ron DeSantis’s Florida is the unsung success story of coronavirus

WAExaminer, 2-3-21

Beginning Jan. 20, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo acquired a new problem. He cannot very well blame President Biden for his performance on the coronavirus, so he now lacks a federal scapegoat toward which to deflect blame for his own shortcomings.

As a consequence, both Cuomo and his erstwhile cheerleaders in the media have been forced to come to grips with the utter incompetence underlying his ostentatious, self-indulgent behavior. The pandemic has caused more death in his state than in any other, and a higher rate of death than in any other save New Jersey. And there is now ample evidence that Cuomo’s specific policy decisions brought this tragic situation about and also that he tried to cover it up.

Perhaps the best example of a large state succeeding amid this crisis is conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Florida. Florida is larger in population than New York, more disproportionately elderly, visited by more potentially infected tourists, and (as of the last census) its population is more concentrated in urban areas. Yet somehow, in spite of all these disadvantages, Florida’s death rate from the coronavirus is roughly half that of the Empire State. (Before you leap to attribute this to the sunny weather, note that Arizona, Louisiana, and Mississippi are all in the top 10 for death rate, whereas frigid Vermont, Idaho, Maine, and Utah are near the bottom.)

If the goal were to minimize coronavirus deaths while also maximizing the openness of one’s state, the numbers bear out DeSantis’s success. In addition to having a much lower death rate, Florida had 25% fewer hospitalizations and 25% fewer new cases as of the end of January. In contrast to Cuomo’s heavy-handed vaccination policies, which had hospitals doing all the heavy lifting and resulted in many doses being thrown out rather than given to the “wrong” people, DeSantis has created drive-thru testing and vaccination sites and expects to administer more than 300,000 shots this week.

In contrast to Cuomo, DeSantis was unendingly crucified and vilified by the media for his far more targeted approach, which focused on protecting the most vulnerable while letting society and the economy function to the extent reasonably possible.

The media threw a fit over his keeping beaches and schools open, as though they were certain this would result in mass die-offs. They also promoted a bogus conspiracy theory about the state manipulating the number of deaths. They were all just plain wrong.

MSNBC Promo: Look at Our Obsequious Fawning Over Biden!

by Kyle Drennan, 2-3-21

In its latest promo, MSNBC touted two years of sycophantic coverage for Joe Biden on the campaign trail and right up through Inauguration Day. The star of the ad was reporter and reliable Biden fanboy Mike Memoli, who was shown lobbing softballs to the Democrat about his “political future,” coffee-drinking habits, and how it felt to win the White House.

HAPPY STORY:

CNN ratings plummet 44% in first week since Trump left office

by Phil Shiver, 2-2-21

Left-wing networks CNN and MSNBC relied almost exclusively on anti-Trump content to attract viewership over the past four years and now that the Republican president has exited office, those same networks are witnessing their ratings nosedive at unprecedented levels.

Juicy and lovely.

In the first week since Trump left office, CNN’s ratings during primetime hours (8 p.m. through 10 p.m. EST) plummeted by a whopping 44%, according to Variety Intelligence Platform’s analysis of the viewership data. To determine the changes in viewership, Variety analyzed data across two key metrics — the target news demographic of people ages 25-54 and total audience.

During the same week, MSNBC’s primetime ratings fell as well, though not as sharply as CNN’s. The network’s audience decreased nearly 20% during the 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. slots, and fell by 11% during the 9 p.m. slot.

Meanwhile, Fox News saw its primetime ratings decrease only slightly during the 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. slot and not at all at 8 p.m. when “Tucker Carlson Tonight” is broadcast.

The program hit hardest, according to Variety, was “Cuomo Prime Time” airing at 9 p.m., which saw its audience of 25-54 year-olds fall by more than half.

And since we’re here and talking about the Dwarf King, here’s what Brian Stelter says about Fox News. You know. Since his cable channel is doing so incredibly well.

Local Kroger Stores Close as California ‘Hero Pay’ Ordinance Backfires

by Brad Polombo, 2-2-21

new “Hero Pay” mandate in Long Beach, California has inadvertently cost some frontline grocery workers their jobs. 

“Ralphs and Food 4 Less, both owned by the parent company Kroger, announced Monday that they will be closing 25% of their stores in Long Beach after the city council passed an ordinance requiring companies with over 300 employees nationwide to pay employees an extra $4 per hour,” local news outlet Fox 11 reports. Two stores in the area will be shut down.

A company spokesperson directly cited the city council’s ordinance mandating higher wages as the reason they are closing down. 

Wowzer. Looks like jobs really ARE transportable.

The ordinance was passed with the stated intention of rewarding hard-working grocery store employees who have kept a vital service running throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia was a key proponent of the measure and signed it into law. He argues it is justified because grocery store workers “have been on the frontlines of this pandemic and deserve this support.”

This is the standard Leftist bleat.

Similarly, Garcia and other supporters of the mandated wage hike argue that companies are just being selfish by closing down rather than paying their workers more. They point to the fact that Kroger has seen high levels of profit this year.

That’s the key word. MANDATED. But the truth is.  .  .

In truth, whether the company is being selfish and whether it’s really flush with cash (Kroger says these specific stores were already financially struggling) are both beside the point. This mandatory wage hike “honoring heroes” was passed by politicians eager to spend other people’s money and claim the credit. But like any minimum wage law, it was always going to have the unintended consequence of eliminating some jobs altogether.

Notice how sly are the American Media Maggots. This is the part you DON’T hear in their stories.

The minimum wage in Long Beach is already $14 per hour for employers with 26 or more employees. A $4 increase would therefore be $18 an hour, a nearly 30 percent raise for every employee. This amounts to an enormous spike in a grocery store’s labor costs, which are already one of the biggest expenses an enterprise usually faces. 

Anyone familiar with the business already knows that margins in grocery stores are already thin. How’d you like to try to keep up with all the tenuous supply chains in the time of Wuhan-19?

This specific instance of wage mandates backfiring is just one example of a much broader trend. On the national level, the “Fight for $15” movement demanding a $15 federal minimum wage ostensibly seeks to help workers. In reality, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that this policy would eliminate 1.3 to 3.7 million jobs. A wealth of economic research similarly shows that minimum wage hikes cause unemployment.

Demorats and Leftists believe it’s the DUTY of all business to lose money when they so decree, for any reason whatsoever. Here’s where business says “fuck off,” as well they should.

HAPPY STORY: If you live in Poland.

Poland proposes social media ‘free speech’ law

by Adam Easton, 1-15-21

Poland’s government has proposed a new law to stop social media platforms deleting content or banning users who do not break Polish laws.

The proposed bill would see social networks fined up to 50 million zloty (£9.8m, $13.4m) for failing to restore deleted posts or accounts.

Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro announced the “freedom of speech protection” bill on Friday.

The law would also establish a “freedom of speech council”.

In America we’re establishing Ministry of Truth “Reality Czars” so that we can restrict your speech as much as humanly possible.

The council would be able to order social networks such as Facebook or Twitter to restore deleted content, or unblock a user’s account following a review, Mr Ziobro said.

Social media users in Poland who had been blocked or had content deleted would be able to complain directly to the platform, which would have to respond within 24 hours.

If a social media company refused to comply with an order, the council would be able to issue a fine of between 50,000 and 50 million zloty.

Report: West Wing Offices in Joe Biden’s White House Are Occupied Mostly by White People

by Ashley Oliver, 1-27-21

An analysis of West Wing offices thus far handed out to senior advisers demonstrates that President Joe Biden’s innermost circle of aides with prized real estate in the building is mostly white.

Out of 22 offices on the first and second floors, only four offices, including one occupied by Vice President Kamala Harris, are held by nonwhite individuals. The rest — a supermajority of 18 such West Wing offices — are occupied by white people, according to Politico.

The report comes as Biden signed four executive orders on Tuesday focused on “racial equity,” remarking on the day of the signing that “deep racial inequities” exist in America and that “systemic racism” has “plagued our nation for far, far too long.”

Incidentally, of the 13 coveted first-floor offices that were identified, white people occupy 12 of them.

HAPPY STORY: I think I detect something of a trend.

Arizona, Texas, and Iowa Join States Prepping against 2A Assaults by Biden Administration

by Teresa Mull, 1-21-21

Gunpowder Magazine just reported that legislators in Missouri and Arkansas have filed bills to make their states strongholds against inevitable onslaughts the Biden administration is preparing to wage against the Second Amendment.

Missouri has the option to adopt the Second Amendment Preservation Act, and Arkansas lawmakers have been presented with the Second Amendment Liberties Safeguard Act.

Now, three more states have joined their fellow 2A guardians in taking preemptive measures against unconstitutional measures surely to be imposed by Biden and his anti-gun cronies.

Patrick Svitek of the Texas Tribune reports in a Tweet that Gov. Greg Abbott “wants to make TX a ‘2A sanctuary state’ this session ‘so that no gov’t official at any level can come & take your gun away from you despite those ppl who say, ‘Heck yes, we’re gonna take your gun.’ We’re gonna say, ‘Heck no, you cannot take ppl’s guns’ in TX,”

HAPPY STORY: Yes, this would seem to be a trend.

THE RESISTANCE GROWS: Missouri bill would prohibit enforcement of unconstitutional federal gun laws

by Frank Salvato, 2-4-21

Missouri joins the efforts by state legislatures to force the federal government into Constitutional compliance.

The Missouri legislature is advancing legislation that would prohibit state, county, and local law enforcement agencies and departments from enforcing unconstitutional federal gun laws in that state.

Missouri is joining an increasing number of states that are proposing legislation that would see their states employ nullification to rein in a grotesquely overreaching federal government.

The proposed legislation, introduced by State Rep. Jered Taylor (R), would prohibit local law enforcement officers from enforcing federal gun laws. The measure would also include a ban on using federal laws to confiscate people’s firearms.

Taylor’s proposed legislation, which is currently moving its way through the Missouri House, would affect to the enforcement of federal gun crimes that are not also codified as state gun crimes.

The bill would not interfere with federal law enforcement officers from being able to enforce federal laws. But Missouri law enforcement – from state to local levels – would be restricted from facilitating the enforcement of those federal laws.

Then we have to get back into realities inherent in 2021. Starting with this sad but necessary story from LawOfficer.com.

Officer Sicknick was not beaten with a fire extinguisher.

Why does the media continue to lie?

2-2-21

A week after the tragic death of Capital Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick, Law Officer pointed out the inconsistencies in the media reports—and the warnings from his own family that others should stop making his death “political.” Unfortunately, few listened to us.

Media outlets, politicians, spin artists, and many others keep telling the story that “terrorist Trump supporters” beat Officer Sicknick to death with a fire extinguisher.

HOW DID OFFICER BRIAN SICKNICK DIE?

Some even went further and wanted others to believe that President Trump himself was part of the beating. After our initial reports on Sicknick’s tragic death, we were flooded with hatred against law enforcement and against President Trump. Which evidences that despite the family’s request, many could not resist making this tragedy a matter of politics.

So-called “Republican” Joe Walsh continues the lie.

And on top of it all, and again, despite the family’s request, one group in particular exploited Officer Sicknick’s death as a rally cry against the murder of law enforcement—and of course the proverbial “white supremacist violence” that caused it.

The Democratic Party.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that “the perpetrators of Officer Sicknick’s death must be brought to justice” and that “the sacrifice of Officer Sicknick reminds us of our obligation to those we serve: to protect our country from all threats foreign and domestic.”

Drawing a conclusion that even those tasked with investigating the matter cannot yet draw.

And while we do not have the autopsy results yet, sources have advised that there are no indications that Officer Sicknick sustained blunt force trauma. This coincides with what his family said just days after his death, indicating that they believed he may have died from a medical condition. If our suspicion proves correct, then Officer Sicknick’s death was undeniably used as a prop for the sake of politics, and even worse, for the sake of political gain.

Making this matter even more political, federal investigators announced that they are “struggling” to build a murder case against anyone in his death.

This from CNN:

Investigators struggle to build murder case in death of US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick

by Evan Perez, 2-2-21

Investigators are struggling to build a federal murder case regarding fallen US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death as he defended the Capitol during last month’s insurrection.

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney’s office to build out a case, authorities have said.

And this in a federal building that is literally dripping, festooned with cameras. And the Demorats and American Media Maggots keep on with their lies — because it suits their political purposes.

And who is there to push back? No one. Certainly not the Republicans.

You know, the folks who held the Oval Office, House and Senate in 2016 and yet failed to pass the National Voter ID law — which may have saved us from the November 3rd corruptive debacle in the first place. And oh, who, by the way, abjectly failed to make eVerify mandatory in order to screen illegals?

Why? It serves both parties. Demorats get the votes and cheap H1B labor for Big Tech, and the Republicans get the rest of the cheap labor. Plus, they want to be loved.

Why I’m no long funding, supporting or voting for the Republican Party again

I’ll summarize up front:

They have done essentially nothing for me or actual Conservatives, for years. Decades.

I keep hearing rumors of how they’ll change, the Big Things they want to do. But just like I judged Trump, I judge the GOP.

“Deeds, not words.”

I know what actually happened. Hundreds of Old Staid Establishment GOP (OSEGOP) members got butthurt because an upstart, a loud, brash OUTSIDER dared to kick every other GOP candidate to the curb in 2016 and, worse, he actually got elected over Hillary Clinton.

And yes, there were Republicans who wished that Hillary had been elected over him.

They had their dainty, little, easily-bruised, delicate, fussy snowflake sensibilities offended by OMB, who told the truth about politics and Washington — which means he told the truth about them. Trump had the temerity to allow people to see just a smidgen of how the sausage is made.

Heretic! Apostate! Fanatic! Disbeliever! Zealot!

I have multiple questions, to which I never really received answers but — decade after decade — I was told that I must hold my nose and vote “for the lesser of two evils.”

So now I’m in my seventh decade myself, and, like a tree, I have to count the rings to see how old I am. Meaning that, now, I really don’t care if I don’t vote Republican again.

Because the Republican Party has shit in my personal punchbowl for the very last time.

And I’m supposed to say “thank you sir, may I have another.”

Nope. No more. Never again.

There are many ways to know that, all along, the GOP hasn’t really cared about Conservatives. One of those ways is to compare fighting spirit.

How is it that the Demorats can circle the wagons over most any issue and be uniquely resolute and unified? The GOP can’t. They haven’t been able to do so for years. Decades.

We all know that the Republicans have been all over “bipartisanship and compromise” for, again, decades, when the Demorats most certainly have not. It is only the Republicans who must achieve compromise and be bipartisan. It’s like that funny word “unity,” bandied about by the Biden Administration.

It’s all about “unity,” as long as you unify with their position. Then and only then is that termed “unity.”

Let’s ask, for example, what happened when the Bush Administration happened to own the Triumvirate of power in DC:

  • The White House
  • The House of Representatives
  • The Senate

What did happen? Essentially nothing. The Republicans were afraid to wield the power they had, and additionally couldn’t figure out how to unify themselves in order to wield said power. So: it was wasted and pissed away.

Let’s admit it. The Republicans have no spine and are afraid to truly utilize what power may actually drop in front of their faces, however briefly. They are all aquiver with fright. The Republicans truly want to be loved and admired at all times. They also want to ensure their donations don’t dry up.

As Conservatives, we inherently know this to be true, no matter how much we try to deny it.

Because we’ve done a pretty admirable job of being the wife in a domestic abuse situation. “Oh, I know he’ll change. He said he will. He never has. But I know he truly, deep down, loves me. He didn’t really mean to decapitate me. He says so. I’ll just stick it out a little bit longer.”

And then, wham, Conservatives are back in the political hospital with fractures, lacerations — and a massive political hospital bill.

Let’s examine some recent “deeds and words,” when it comes to the Republican Party and perhaps you’ll see what I mean, and why I draw my conclusion.

One of the most recent illustrations involves the ten Republicans who voted to impeach, a second time, now ex-President Trump — a civilian.

These Are The 10 Republicans Who Voted To Impeach Trump

by Domenico Montanaro, NPR, 1-14-21

Ten Republicans crossed President Trump on Wednesday and voted to impeach him for “incitement of insurrection.”

Ten out of 211 Republicans in the House is hardly an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote, and clearly, most Republicans’ sympathies still lie with Trump — and his ardent base of followers. But the 10 represent something significant — the most members of a president’s party to vote for his impeachment in U.S. history.

Who are the 10?

Here they are in order of the most pro-Trump districts:

Remember their names. You’ll see them again.

1. Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming’s at-large district: Trump won Wyoming 70% to 27%, and she’s the third-ranking leader in the House. So for her not just to vote in favor of impeachment but also issue a stinging rebuke is quite the step. Cheney was unequivocal in her statement, saying Trump “summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.” She called what Trump did the “greatest betrayal” of a U.S. president ever.

2. Rep. Tom Rice, South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District: This is one no one saw coming. The congressman, who has served since 2013, comes from a pretty pro-Trump district (Trump won it 59% to 40%), and there was no indication he would do so beforehand. Even during his vote, Twitter was alight with speculation that Rice had cast the wrong vote. Turns out, he cast it exactly as he wanted to. Later Wednesday, Rice explained: “I have backed this President through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and voted for him twice. But, this utter failure is inexcusable.”

3. Rep. Dan Newhouse, Washington’s 4th: Trump won this central Washington state district by a handy margin, 58% to 40%. But for Newhouse, who has served since 2015 and has not been a prominent member, it was clear: “The mob was inflamed by the language and misinformation of the President of the United States. … A vote against impeachment is a vote to validate unacceptable violence” and “to condone President Trump’s inaction.”

4. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Illinois’ 16th: Kinzinger’s decision was probably the least surprising on this list. Despite coming from a district Trump won 57% to 41%, the Air Force veteran has been outspoken recently against Trump’s behavior. He said Trump “incited this insurrection” and “if these actions — the Article II branch inciting a deadly insurrection against the Article I branch — are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?”

5. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, Ohio’s 16th: Gonzalez, a former NFL wide receiver, is in his second term in Congress. Trump won his district by 15 points, but Gonzalez was unequivocal: Trump, he said, “helped organize and incite a mob that attacked the United States Congress in an attempt to prevent us from completing our solemn duties as prescribed by the Constitution.” He added that during the attack, Trump “abandoned his post … thus further endangering all present.”

6. Rep. Fred Upton, Michigan’s 6th: Upton has been in office since 1987. He comes from a district that is more moderate. Trump won it just 51% to 47%. Upton has good relationships with Democrats, including President-elect Joe Biden, and even has #WearYourMask in his Twitter bio. Upton said he would have preferred a bipartisan censure that would not interfere with the business of the next administration, “but,” he said, “it is time to say enough is enough.” He also cited Trump’s efforts “to impede the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next.”

7. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, Washington’s 3rd: Herrera Beutler was swept in with the Tea Party wave in 2010, but her district is a moderate one. Trump won it 51% to 47%. Herrera Beutler gained prominence several years ago for giving birth to a child three months early, born without kidneys and a rare syndrome. Her daughter, Abigail, became the first to survive the often-fatal condition. The now-mother of three and congresswoman from southwest Washington state declared on the House floor her vote in favor of impeachment: “I’m not choosing sides, I’m choosing truth.”

8. Rep. Peter Meijer, Michigan’s 3rd: Meijer is a freshman, who won his seat with 53% of the vote. He represents a district that was previously held by Justin Amash, the former Republican-turned-independent who voted in favor of Trump’s impeachment in 2019. Meijer, a Columbia University grad who served in Afghanistan, is a social conservative in favor of restrictions on abortion rights and against restrictions on gun rights and religious freedoms. But he said Trump showed no “courage” and “betrayed millions with claims of a ‘stolen election.’ ” He added, “The one man who could have restored order, prevented the deaths of five Americans including a Capitol police officer, and avoided the desecration of our Capitol, shrank from leadership when our country needed it most.”

9. Rep. John Katko, New York’s 24th: Katko is a moderate from an evenly divided moderate district. A former federal prosecutor, he said of Trump: “It cannot be ignored that President Trump encouraged this insurrection.” He also noted that as the riot was happening, Trump “refused to call it off, putting countless lives in danger.”

10. Rep. David Valadao, California’s 21st: The Southern California congressman represents a majority-Latino district Biden won 54% to 44%. Valadao won election to this seat in 2012 before losing it in 2018 and winning it back in the fall. He’s the rare case of a member of Congress who touts his willingness to work with the other party. Of his vote for impeachment, he said: “President Trump was, without question, a driving force in the catastrophic events that took place on January 6.” He added, “His inciting rhetoric was un-American, abhorrent, and absolutely an impeachable offense.”

Stop. Here’s another clue about the GOP. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina just wrote this in a Tweet:

I believe Liz Cheney is one of the strongest and most reliable conservative voices in the Republican Party. She is a fiscal and social conservative, and no one works harder to ensure that our military is well prepared.

Hold that thought about Liz Cheney.

So just what was the so-called “incitement”? These exact words in a speech by Donald Trump on January 6th of 2021.

By the way, was I able to find this video on YouTube? Of course not. This is from a UK article.

Conveniently, no one remembers this from Leftists.

This from former AG Loretta Lynch.

This is peaceful also.

And for those words you heard, before actual advocacy for violence against Trump, supporters and Republicans, Donald Trump must be impeached. As a citizen. Out of office.

In the legal world, there are concepts called the “letter of the law” and the “spirit of the law.” The letter of the law involving impeachment can be found in Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, which says, in one sentence:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The spirit of the law is also quite clear. It is for the removal of persons who are found guilty, following a hearing, and involving due process, of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” who are current office holders. Because the point is to remove them.

Perhaps it has escaped the Demorats and Republicans that Donald Trump, OMB, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, is no longer in the White House or DC.

Those are just a few aspects. I’m sure you would have your own lengthy laundry list of reasons why you believe the GOP failed us abjectly, nakedly, clearly, with little if any apology, dusting off, or even a remark in passing.

So let’s begin with the truth — a truth you already know. The Demorats and Republicans are cut from essentially the same cloth. As I’ve been fond of saying for some time, “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between them.” Republicans are basically Demorats with no cohesion or focused center. Or balls, for that matter. They are primarily invertebrates.

And they fear. The fear as much as the Demorats. The Republicans and Demorats fear that you — the roughly 80 million of you — will continue this Populist, Middle Class, America First, Rule of Law, Due Process, Constitution and Bill of Rights movement.

They fear. They are afraid of you. You, me, us, we have the power — if we can likewise coalesce and beat the DC politicians at their own game. Hell, look at GameStop.

And both sides must shut you down, weaken you, marginalize you, depersonalize you, as much as humanly possible with a constant barrage of propaganda 24/7/365.

Why? Five things. Fear for loss of:

  • Power
  • Control
  • Money
  • Prestige
  • Access

It’s that simple. You, the American Taxpayer, are now the enemy of the government. They have as much as decreed it so.

Politico reporter: Trump base is ‘getting stronger’ since he left office, impeachment would only empower him

by Joseph Wulfsohn, 1-31-21

‘I think that there’s a huge disconnect between Washington and the rest of the country’

Former President Donald Trump has actually gained — not lost — political clout since leaving office, a political observer asserted Friday.

Politico reporter Tara Palmeri’s observation runs contrary to the assumptions of many in the Washington D.C. establishment and the mainstream media.

“People don’t want to hear anything against Trump,” Palmeri said during an appearance on MSNBC. “Actually, the more he stays out of the media, the more that he becomes this martyr, this looming figure over the GOP.”

I think that’s true. I think that’s absolutely correct. I think we — Conservatives — have a lot more power than we even credit to ourselves. Politicians know it.

She drew the conclusion after speaking with locals in the Cowboy State about Cheney’s vote to impeach Trump while covering an anti-Cheney rally led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

“I actually went out of my way to try to find someone who would defend her and I really could not,” Palmeri told MSNBC. “She didn’t have that much name recognition, considering she’s a Cheney. … I mean, I said her name at a hardware store, and someone shouted a threat.” 

Then this.

The “overwhelming” consensus that Palmeri heard from voters was that Cheney’s vote for impeachment was “not a vote for Wyoming” and “therefore she has to go.”

That’s called a clue. So let’s transition over to this story from Breitbart.

Liz Cheney Censured by Republican Parties in 10 Wyoming Counties

by Joshua Caplan, 2-2-21

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) has now been censured by Republican Parties in ten Wyoming counties and that number could continue to climb, according to the 

Of the ten censure resolutions, the Sweetwater County Republican Party said Cheney had “betrayed the trust and failed to honor the will of the very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters who elected her.”

The resolution continued:

Because she voted in an anarchic proceeding against President Donald J. Trump which was conducted in contravention of established principles of due process — a proceeding that provided no probative evidence for consideration, called no witnesses to testify under oath, permitted no questioning of the accusers by the accused — Representative Liz Cheney stood in defiance of the quantifiable will of the substantial majority of Wyoming citizens and devalued the political influence of the State of Wyoming.

But here is another major clue.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has signaled that he will not support efforts to remove Cheney from her post, while Cheney herself has stated that she has no plans to step down. 

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) praised Cheney, calling her “important leader” with the courage to act on “deep convictions.”

McConnell and McCarthy, two members in good standing of the OSEGOP — the Old Staid Establishment GOP. That was no more clear than on January 19th.

Pence, McConnell, and McCarthy are skipping Trump’s departure ceremony

by Grace Panetta, 1-19-21

Vice President Mike Pence and the top two Republicans in Congress, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plan to skip President Donald Trump’s departure ceremony on Wednesday morning.

Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy would attend Mass with Biden scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.

It was more important for McConnell and McCarthy to attend Mass with a great advocate of abortion than to do anything with Trump.

Message received. I got it. Did you?

Let’s move to Ted Cruz 1.0 on January 3rd, 2021.

Ted Cruz Recycles Election Fraud Claims Already Rejected by the Courts

by Ilya Somin, 1-3-21, Reason.com:

He and other GOP senators supporting his bid to reject certification of the 2020 election result ignore the fact that courts have already addressed the issues they raise.

Senator Ted Cruz and a group of ten other GOP senators have issued a statement calling on Congress to refuse to certify  the 2020 election results unless Congress first creates a commission to investigate President Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations of “voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.” The statement claims that the commission is needed because courts have supposedly failed to address these claims: “Ideally, the courts would have heard evidence and resolved these claims of serious election fraud. Twice, the Supreme Court had the opportunity to do so; twice, the Court declined.”

Here is Ted Cruz 2.0 on January 31st, 2021.

Ted Cruz: President Trump was “Both Reckless and Irresponsible” and Did Not Prove Election Fraud in Any Court

by Jim Hoft, 1-31-21

Senator Cruz is an example of a Republican who will never win a national election and especially moving forward after the 2020 election.  Democrats BRAZENLY used EVERY TRICK in their bag to steal victory in November 2020.  And they did it without a hint of shame.

In this week’s video, Senator Ted Cruz accused President Donald Trump of spouting “overheated rhetoric” about the election and failing to present evidence of voter fraud.

Pick up the video at 16:50.

Senator Ted Cruz:  “President Trump’s rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly—and he said over and over again—he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere. That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that’s not responsible and you’ve never heard me use language like that. What I’ve said is voter fraud is real, and we need to examine the evidence, and look at the actual facts; and in particular, what is the evidence of how much voter fraud occurred, and did it occur in sufficient quantities and in sufficient states to alter the outcome of the election. That would have been the mandate of the election commission; to assess.”

Just a wee bit of change, don’t you think?

Remember the name of Tim Rice, the guy who voted to impeach Trump. He fell into the Cheney Pit. Not exactly sure why. The Republicans being like broken clocks, you see.

SCGOP passes resolution to censure Rep. Rice over impeachment vote

WWBF News, 1-30-21

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – The South Carolina GOP has formally censured U.S. Rep. Tom Rice over his impeachment vote.

About two weeks ago, Rice was one of 10 Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump who is accused of inciting a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

After that vote, a letter and potential resolution to censure the congressman at the grassroots level started forming in South Carolina 7th Congressional District. That resolution made it all the way to the State Executive Committee for a vote.

At a quarterly meeting on Saturday, the SCGOP State Executive Committee passed the resolution to formally censure Rice. A censure is a formal statement of disapproval.

While the censure is a symbolic measure, it is rare for the party to invoke one on a sitting Congressman.

Wait. That was local. Maybe all politics is local. Or just some kind of error.

And who can possibly forget the “doubling down on stupid” as is done, say, with Demorats and Coronavirus? When in doubt, do the exact same thing that got your asses kicked to the curb in 2016.

Because this next name should sound familiar. Again.

GOP Rep Kinzinger starts PAC to resist party’s Trump embrace

by Hope Yen, AP, 1-31-21

Rep. Adam Kinzinger was one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump

WASHINGTON — Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, is launching a political action committee to push back against a House GOP leadership team and party that he says have become too closely aligned to the former president.

Right. Like all the other Republicans bouncing away from anything even remotely Trump-like, conjuring up visions of rats fleeing the ship. But that’s not good enough. Oh no. Now we need a Super PAC, or Political Action Committee.

The “Country 1st” PAC, unveiled in a six-minute video released Sunday, will challenge the current direction of a GOP that Kinzinger says has wrongly become a “Trump-first party” to the detriment of the nation, as seen by the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

That’s right. You have to be crushed.

The goal of the PAC is to say, “Let’s take a look at the last four years, how far we have come in a bad way,” Kinzinger said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “How backward-looking we are, how much we peddle darkness and division. And that’s not the party I ever signed up for. And I think most Republicans didn’t sign up for that.”

“It doesn’t mean we don’t need to fight back, you know, to defend what we believe, conservative principles,” he added. “But when I ask people now what is a conservative principle, how many people think that conservative principles are things like just ‘build the wall’ and, you know, charge the Capitol and have an insurrection?”

You see the lies? 200 morons broken into the Capitol. Not 80 million Trump supporters. Each of those who entered illegally should be arrested and likely will. You see the attempt to easily slide to one who the dividers really are?

Kinzinger also criticized the leadership of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who initially said after the riot that Trump bears responsibility for the violence. But after meeting privately with the former president last week in Florida, McCarthy tweeted in support, “United and ready to win in ’22.”

So even McCarthy isn’t enough of a fellator for Kinzinger’s tastes.

Kinzinger also cites the GOP’s efforts to remove Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from the leadership team because she voted to impeach Trump.

Because we need more of Liz Cheney.

Mitch McConnell rears his OSEGOP head again.

McConnell denounces Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as a ‘cancer’ on GOP

by AP, 2-1-21

Senator decries ‘loony lies’ of conspiracy theorist as Democrats move to strip her of committee assignments

WASHINGTON — Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell denounced newly elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday, calling the far-right Georgia Republican’s embrace of conspiracy theories and “loony lies” a “cancer for the Republican Party.”

That’s odd. I don’t recall you voting for her. Her own peeps did.

Message received. I got it. Did you?

Then the RNC chair weighed in.

RNC chairwoman expresses regret over Giuliani news conference

by John Bowden, The Hill, 2-1-21

The chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Ronna Romney McDaniel, said in a new interview that she regrets letting former President Trump‘s lawyers, namely Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, spread unproven claims about the 2020 election from the organization’s headquarters.

Speaking with The New York Times, McDaniel indicated she thought it had been a mistake to allow Giuliani and Powell to make the claims about election rigging days after the vote at the RNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“When I saw some of the things Sidney was saying, without proof, I certainly was concerned it was happening in my building,” McDaniel told the newspaper. “There are a whole host of issues we had to deal with — what is the liability of the RNC, if these allegations are made and unfounded?”

Okay. Good to know. You’ve made your bed. Message received. I got it. Did you?

And finally, Lindsey Graham sets the course.

Lindsay Graham Offers Support for Liz Cheney and Then Warns the Trump Team About Attempting to Present Evidence of Election Fraud In Front of the Senate

by Joe Hoft, 2-2-21

Lindsey Graham is back to being himself. After sucking up to President Trump to help him win an election, he attempts to intimidate the president while supporting bitter war monger Liz Cheney who voted to impeach the most popular president in US history.

Lindsey Graham is the friend nobody wants.  He’ll smile at your face while stabbing you in the back.

Earlier today Senator Graham let Liz Cheney know he supported her. Cheney recently voted to impeach President Trump. Most Americans, the majority that voted for President Trump, vehemently disagreed with Cheney’s actions.

Graham and his good friend in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, are on the same side of Cheney, which is not on the side of the American people and President Trump. This is why millions of Americans and Republicans are done with the Republican party. These politicians believe Americans voted for them in spite of President Trump and not because of President Trump.

Read that again.

These politicians believe Americans voted for them in spite of President Trump and not because of President Trump.

Graham wasn’t done. He then threatened the President by reportedly stating the President should not talk about the (obvious) election fraud in the 2020 election. Americans know the election is a joke, but the bitter politicians in DC don’t.

Now I speak Republican, as well as Leftist. Does that mean Graham and McConnell will push the caucus to Trump’s second impeachment? The threat is there and it made a thud when it dropped.

If this is true, Graham has some soul searching to do and the Republican Party may as well start digging their grave.  Someone needs to tell Graham about how many votes President Trump really won in the election and how many believe this election was stolen.  Not one person you talk to who voted for Trump believe he lost to Joe Biden.  The only people that believe this are Graham, Cheney, McConnell, the Democrats and their Big Media and Big Tech tools.

I could go on, but I’m running out of time and Rock Star. So I’ll say this.

There are a handful of Republicans I may — may — vote for in the future. An ounce of betrayal and even they are gone. Their numbers are dwindling by the day.

I’m going to bottom line the situation like this.

What’s the best way to hide a lie? Invent a bigger one. Like the Demorats are doing daily. Hourly.

“The most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressor is not the gun, it’s the ability to control the minds of the oppressed. Once one understands that, the present becomes much more clear.”  — Steve Biko

At more than any other time, we need, no, we demand that there be absolute pushback to what the Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots are thrusting unlawfully upon us.

The Republicans — like the Demorats — have clearly concluded that We The People must continue to dance to the tune of government, and not the other way around.

Perhaps it’s time to withdraw what is commonly termed the “consent of the governed.” Not by threats or firearms or thousands of the National Guard. By consent.

Consent, by definition, denotes that it can removed.

People are saying that ________ is unconstitutional, or unlawful. “You can’t impeach Donald Trump because that’s not Constitutional.”

Constitutionality or the rule of law has nothing to do with Demorats any more. It’s simply about power and control. And money.

The Criminal Creed is now the Demorat Creed. It goes like this:

“What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine, unless you have the power to stop me from taking it.”

Those are the Demorats.

It’s clear after decades and decades of “Waiting For The Electrician, Or Someone Like Him” — or “Waiting For Godot,” who never arrives — I’m done with waiting for the Republicans to solve the problems they themselves help create.

I’m done with Republicans.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Tuesday, 1-19-21, with Conservative Content Creators ERIC THOMPSON, KEN McCLENTON and JEREMY HANSON

Hours 1 and 2: BZ hosted a round table discussion tonight, in which he spoke to major Conservative content creators involved in social media, streaming video, and streaming audio and/or podcasts — covering the Triad of Conservative comms.

First was ERIC THOMPSON, creator and owner of the new Conservative social media site MAGABOOK.COM!

Second was KEN McCLENTON, owner and CEO of TECN-TV, a network that streams his show nightly, Monday through Friday, and whose video channel is live 24/7, with many other Conservative hosts.

Third was JEREMY HANSON of UNLEASHED JEREMY HANSON, an audio live streamer and podcaster who has been in the radio end of Conservatism for years, and knows the ins and outs of analytics and the broadcasting business.

The four talked about the new march towards totalitarianism and authoritarianism, and how it’s clear that, due to the Cancel Culture, Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots are coming for every Conservative voice on the internet — live streamers, those who produce video, and podcasters.

Anyone and everyone who is Conservative, leans right, a Republican or is/was a Trump supporter.

Wake up America. We are LOSING our First Amendment right before our eyes.
