Hour 1:BZ spoke to the incredible journalist SUSAN KATZ KEATING who currently writes for John Solomon’s JustTheNews.com website — and we discussed the state of journalism today, our military, intelligence agencies — and just what is a “21st Century Bedouin With A Go-Bag”?
Hour 2: BZ then spent the rest of the show delineating why he would never again be donating, funding, supporting or voting for the Republican Party ever again — providing numerous examples, most of them of recent origin.

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.
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.
Loretta Lynch calling for violence & blood spilling in the streets.
25 people were killed during the protests/riots 2 were police officers, but you said nothing.
— Dr. President ????????? ℭ?????? (@carrerapulse) January 31, 2021
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.”
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 Casper Star-Tribune.
heney has faced fierce backlash in Wyoming and Washington, D.C., since the lawmaker and nine others voted in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump over the deadly January 6 Capitol Hill riots.
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.
Over half of the House Republican Conference has committed to vote to remove Cheney from her leadership role. One senior House Republican told Breitbart News that GOP lawmakers believe Cheney should step aside voluntarily. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) have been suggested as possible replacements.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

It’s eight days into the Biden Administration, and that has so far yielded FORTY (40) Presidential Executive Orders — 21 on the first day, and 10 on Biden’s second day in office.
By contrast, President Trump signed six EOs in his first eight days. Biden has signed almost seven times the number of Trump in the same amount of time.
This is called ruling by Executive Fiat — completely bypassing Congress. Demorats were livid about it under Trump. They are remarkably quiet now. Imagine that.
And oddly enough, on the 2020 campaign trail, then-candidate Biden said this about ruling by Executive Fiat as a dictator.
Biden starts staffing a commission on Supreme Court reform
by Tyler Pager, 1-27-21
He pushed the idea as a candidate during the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation fight. Now, he’s getting it going.
The Biden administration is moving forward with the creation of a bipartisan commission to study reforms to the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary.
The commission will be housed under the purview of the White House Counsel’s office and filled out with the behind-the-scenes help of the Biden campaign’s lawyer Bob Bauer, who will co-chair the commission. Its specific mandate is still being decided. But, in a signal that the commission is indeed moving ahead, some members have alreadybeen selected, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.
Oddly enough that’s something that the revered Leftist Justice Ginsbug didn’t want.
Fredrickson has hinted that she is intellectually supportive of ideas like court expansion. In 2019, she said in an interview with Eric Lesh, the executive director of the LGBT Bar Association and Foundation of Greater New York: “I often point out to people who aren’tlawyers that the Supreme Court is not defined as ‘nine person body’ in the Constitution, and it has changed size many times.”
And there you go. Oddly enough, stacking the court was not something that the Leftist hallowed and revered Jurist Ginsburg desired.
Demorats and Leftists also let it be known that they will not, despite what Biden said, allow kids to go back to schools.
Closed schools are killing children via drugs, alcohol, mental health issues and suicides. Chicago teachers are threatening to STRIKE on Monday if they have to teach kids in class.
This parent speaks for most every parent. Stop killing our kids and do your jobs.
As a parent, this pandemic has brought forth some incredible challenges.
This dad has had enough, we all have. No real metrics to safely open the schools, while the SB continues to kick the can further down the road. Many parents feel just as he does. #LCPS#openschoolspic.twitter.com/Oa1GxNMzsp
Suburban College Student Dies by Suicide After Struggling With Isolation
by Regina Waldroup, 12-11-20
Childrens’ emergency room visits related to mental health have increased significantly during the pandemic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
An 18-year-old University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign freshman died by suicide in October while grappling with isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, his family said.
Now, his mother is sharing her family’s tragic story in hope of sparing others from similar heartbreak.
Trevor Till, who was from suburban Seneca, excelled in the classroom at Seneca High School and in activities including marching band and cross country.
As a freshman living in a dorm at UIUC, the pandemic drastically changed life for the 18-year-old.
“He was a social person, so being alone was not him,” Moore said.
Social isolation took a toll on Till, his mother said. On Oct. 21, the 18-year-old died by suicide.
“Students that are involved in lots of things like Trevor are suffering, because they don’t have those things,” Moore said.
Childrens’ emergency room visits related to mental health have increased significantly during the pandemic, highlighting concerns about psychological effects of lockdowns and social distancing, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Teenagers are suffering,” said Allison Johnsen, a psychotherapist at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital. “They don’t really want more Zoom.”
Johnsen suggests parents check in with their children and teens frequently, and if they notice any changes in behavior, seek counseling.
Chicago teachers, threatening to strike, decided they would dance their way into the hearts of parents who would then magically, mystically support them. Uh, no.
A “safe return or no return,” they moaned.
Six of our rank-and-file dance teachers come together to use their art form as a voice to express their desire to feel safe amidst CPS’ teacher return policy. They stand in solidarity with all educators at risk, because no one should have to choose between life and livelihood. pic.twitter.com/gajXH9PReE
So teachers are “special.” They’re better than restaurant workers, grocery store workers, truck drivers, sanitation workers, Uber drivers, nurses, doctors, cops, firefighters, EMTs, bar owners, gym owners, delivery drivers — who all want to work — and some who can’t work.
Look at the actual statistics. The “science.” They don’t seem interested in listening to science or doing their jobs.
CDC officials say schools can re-open during pandemic — but precautions are crucial
by Denise Chow, 1-28-21
Schools should reopen as soon as possible if social distancing and mask-wearing can be maintained to keep in-person learning safe, health officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a study published Tuesday.
The research, published online in the journal JAMA, provides a framework for how to open schools safely while limiting the spread of Covid-19. Research supports “a path forward to maintain or return primarily or fully to in-person instructional delivery,” according to the study.
The recommendations provide some clarity about a contentious topic and offer much-needed guidance for local officials, school administrators and parents.
So here’s my suggestion.
Nor returning to work? Then why are teachers getting paid? Give them a week. If they fail to return, fire them and hire temp and substitute teachers as replacements.
Now on to more recent 2021 Biden and Leftist insanity.
First, the good news. China could potentially be in charge of the US electric grid. What could possibly go wrong with that? Who wouldn’t want that?
Biden’s order could let China control US electric grid
by Quin Hilyer, 1-27-21
Less than one week into his presidency, Joe Biden has already put U.S. security at greater risk to Chinese and other threats.
Biden, who long has been accused by critics of being soft on China, issued a lengthy executive order in which, buried amid matters purportedly designed to combat climate change, was an anomalous and potentially dangerous provision. The provision in question addresses nothing reasonably connected to climate change. Instead, it suspends for 90 days a key security measure put in place last May 1 by former President Donald Trump. Biden’s suspension of Trump’s measure makes not the slightest sense.
Trump’s Executive Order 13920 declared a national emergency with respect to the nation’s electric grid and prohibited the acquisition or installation of “any bulk-power electric equipment … designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied, by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary.” In sum, Trump forbade the use of grid equipment that is made in China, Russia, or other hostile nations.
Oh come on BZ, China building electrical equipment isn’t an issue.
Trump’s order was a common-sense response to real, proven threats. Just last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States seized a Chinese-built transformer because officials believe “its electronics had been secretly given malicious capabilities, possibly allowing a distant adversary to monitor or even disable it on command.” Cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss reported that officials found “electronics that should not have been part of the transformer — hardware backdoors” that could allow the Chinese to “effectively gain control of the transformers without any network forensics being the wiser.”
Then did you see today’s news about the FAKE NEWS New York Times who — as it turns out — is nothing more than a propaganda organ for the Iran Regime?
And by the way, did I read it on the New York Times? Of course not.
New York Times contributor arrested as Iranian spy
by Law Officer, 1-20-21
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — A frequent contributor for The New York Times was revealed to be an Iranian spy and was charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Federal prosecutors reported that this Iranian-born political science author arrested Monday was paid in secret to write columns favorable to Tehran and lobby at least one American lawmaker on the global power’s behalf, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
A criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn charged Kaveh Lotfolah Afrasiabi, 63, with acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). If convicted of both offenses, Afrasiabi faces the maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Afrasiabi is accused of espousing propaganda to advance Iranian viewpoints while employed by the Iranian mission to the United Nations. His writings appeared in prominent publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and HuffPost, aligning with Tehran’s position on world affairs, The Post Millennial reported.
Fact: New York Times columns were nothing but Iranian propaganda. That author was arrested as a spy, working for Iran. An Iranian government employee, PAID $265,000 BY IRAN, secretly trying to influence American policy, by peddling propaganda through the ever-willing, America-hating New York Times.
Last Tuesday night on my radio show I provided everyone with a Wuhan-19 update, and just since then even more information has come to light.
Even Leftist Kalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has seen something of a Wuhan-19 light.
California Governor Gavin Newsom lifts virus stay-at-home orders
CBS, 1-26-21
California lifted regional stay-at-home orders across the state Monday in response to improving coronavirus conditions, returning the state to a system of county-by-county restrictions, state health officials announced. CBS San Francisco reports the move opens the way for a return to limited restaurant dining, religious services and other activities.
Governor Gavin Newsom said Monday the state’s hospitalization rate was down nearly 20% statewide over the last two weeks.
Shockingly, just the week before, we were told that Kalifornia had the greatest number of cases cases cases seen since last summer — even more.
Then boom. They go flat. Then lower. Why? Two reasons:
1. All the other Leftist authoritarians lifted their bans because Biden is in office, and
2. Newsom is THIS CLOSE to having his name put on the ballot for a Kalifornia RECALL.
DC’s Mayor Bowser, Michigan’s Whitmer, Governor Cuomo and other Leftists have magically seen fit to open businesses back up — shock of shocks — just a few days into the Biden presidency. Again, anything to ensure that President Trump didn’t acquire a second terms. And if people died along the way? Fuck it. Sacrifices have to be made, mister.
The story that sent me 210/190 today, Thursday, was this involving the state of New York and their Governor Andrew Cuomo. Read:
AG James: N.Y. undercounted nursing home COVID deaths, eldercare sites failed to follow safety protocols
by Denis Slattery, 1-28-21
ALBANY — A report released Thursday by Attorney General Letitia James accuses the Cuomo administration of undercounting COVID nursing home deaths by as much as 50%.
James’ office conducted a months-long investigation into the state’s handling of elder care facilities during the pandemic and how nursing homes failed to protect vulnerable seniors from the deadly virus.
“As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why the residents of nursing homes in New York unnecessarily suffered at such an alarming rate,” James said in a statement. “While we cannot bring back the individuals we lost to this crisis, this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spur increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents.”
Gov. Cuomo and the state Health Department have faced intense criticism over how the state has reported COVID deaths of nursing home residents.
Let it not be forgotten that it was Governor Cuomo’s edict that hot Wuhan-19 patients be placed into New York nursing homes, the places where the population consists of those the least able to physically fight back against the virus, in concert with nursing homes having the least trained staffs along with the least amount of equipment. New York and Cuomo knew that going in.
A July report issued by the state absolved the administration and laid blame for the now more than 8,700 reported deaths of seniors on staffers who unwittingly infected residents.
But a controversial March mandate requiring facilities to accept COVID-positive patients may have increased the risk of others at the congregate facilities contracting the virus, the Attorney General’s report found.
“May have.” Bullshit. It did. In my opinion Governor Cuomo is actually the greatest and most prolific serial killer in the history of the planet. And hes not responsible. Just ask him.
In addition to the dramatic undercounting of deaths, the investigation found many nursing homes put residents at risk of infection by failing to comply with safety protocols.
Some sites failed to properly isolate residents who tested positive for COVID-19 or adequately screen or test employees for the virus. Others demanded that sick employees continue to work and care for residents or face retaliation or termination.
The report also found some operators didn’t train employees in infection control protocol or PPE.
Have you been to any skilled nursing facility or home recently? I have. They are, unfortunately, not hubs of great pay for employees or bastions of the finest equipment.
Then the huge kerfuffle over Small Drips making money on Wall Street. It’s absolutely glorious. The Hedge Fund artists got beaten at their own game and they were just livid about it.
Notice how — just like Trump — the Deep State on every level, this time the stock market, can’t stand to have “the outsider” beat them at their own game, make money, change things up, and draw public focus to the issue even itself.
Day trading and individual investing have boomed over the past several months, with activity often taking place or being discussed on platforms such as Reddit and Robinhood instead of in more traditional arenas. And one big question amid the frenzy has been how much the little guys really matter. Sure, small-time investors trade a lot, sometimes to the annoyance of more traditional institutions, but are they really consequential?
In the GameStop saga, at least, the answer is yes. An army of traders on the Reddit forum r/WallStreetBets helped drive a meteoric rise in GameStop’s stock price in recent days, forcing it to halt trading multiple times and causing a major headache for the short sellers betting against it and banking on the stock falling. It’s a captivating David vs. Goliath story, where David — at least for now — appears to be winning.
Not for long however because, just like Trump, you cannot possibly allow any unwashed outsider to have a seat the the table, especially the proles, the groundlings, the servants, the subjects, the serfs. Hok-ptui. They don’t belong. Keep them out. The Game is only for Us.
Let’s go into a bit of detail. Because, in truth, it’s oh-so-glorious.
The thought that anyone outside of Wall Street — the outsider — might be getting rich is something they cannot possibly tolerate. What a terrible situation that non-suit-wearing people could figure out the system and make some actual money.
Just like Wall Streeters.
So let’s backfocus on Leftist Speech, much of it right out of “1984.” And oh, if you haven’t read that book, what an incredible disservice you’re doing to yourself. Let’s begin with AOC, otherwise known as Sandy Cortez.
“There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance,” says @AOC. pic.twitter.com/4jkKfb718K
I speak Leftist so I’ll translate: “For the roughly 100 million Americans of all colors who overwhelmingly voted for Trump, you’re all white supremacists – because labeling you allows me to depersonalize you, and then allows me to advocate for your removal and then extinction.”
It’s the terrible black, hispanic, asian, white supremacist Trump supporters, voters, and Conservatives who are responsible for everything bad, evil and terror-oriented in the United States today.
‘It’s a war zone’ | DC’s gun violence takes toll on locals’ mental health
WUSA9, 12-30-20
WASHINGTON — Data from the District’s government and police shows almost 200 people have died from gun violence in the Nation’s Capital in 2020.
The last time D.C. experienced a higher murder rate was 16 years ago, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The District’s violence in 2020 was capped off by a homicide that shook every corner of D.C.
On Dec. 3, a gunman shot and killed 15-month-old Carmelo Duncan as he sat in the back seat of his father’s car on the 5700 block of Southern Avenue in Southeast D.C.
The Metropolitan Police Department said it has yet to catch Duncan’s killer.
That’s the real violence. That’s the real terror. The terror living in Washington, DC.
It was pointed out to me that Joe Rogan was recently upset about what’s happening in with regard to bills, finally cluing in to how bills are made. Seriously? He’s that stupid? “Oh, I’ve never seen or heard of this before?”
It’s because of ignorance morons like YOU Rogan, who never seemed to care how the sausage was made — until you’ve finally entered the factory for a two minute tour. You haven’t seen a fraction of the factory and that’s on purpose.
You want to know why the Demorats (and some Republicans) were shitting car parts when the capitol was invaded?
Because they were afraid it was an actual coordinated effort instead of the bumbling assault on the building by Horned Chewbacca Man and other stupid morons. If they entered the capitol they DESERVE to go to jail, including Brandon Straka.
What did they THINK would happen?
But here’s why Congress was scared shitless:
1. It’s like being burglarized. It’s extremely PERSONAL and you feel violated. They’re NEVER felt that before.
2. They actually experienced a modicum of CONSEQUENCES for their actions. Something American Taxpayers suffer every day for not abiding by cavalier or capricious rules. You know. Like not wearing a mask. Not closing a business for no reason. Not paying taxes. Sharpton.
3. And they came THIS CLOSE to having their secrets involving corruption revealed. There were computers, notes, indicia to be obtained from ALL OF THEM if you knew where to look. Things that would reveal them and their acidic, caustic, deadly daily deals where THEY profit while America is backstabbed and betrayed.
The unwashed rabble were actually IN the inner sanctum, but were too stupid to do what those empty suits thought they could do or were there to do: expose them.
One day those empty suits will revile even their personal protectors. It’s already started. The National Guardsmen are now in question.
So Rogan is shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you?
Wake up Rogan. Wake up America. It’s already almost too late.
And now the FBI and DHS are coming for you, American black, hispanic, asian, white supremacist terrorists and extremists — though there is no credible, specific threat. This “justifies” keeping the National Guard in DC, and “justifies” the creation of DC as the 51st state.
DHS uses federal alert system for 1st time in a year to warn of domestic terrorist threat
by Mike Levine, 1-27-21
Using a federal system designed to warn all Americans about terrorist threats to the U.S. homeland, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning that anger “fueled by false narratives,” especially unfounded claims about the 2020 presidential election, could lead some inside the country to launch attacks in the coming weeks.
“Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence,” according to a bulletin issued Wednesday through the DHS National Terrorist Advisory System — or NTAS.
False narratives. Like the election was stolen — which is remarkably clear to any free-thinking individual. And yes, some persons have objections to government. But mostly those same persons — except for the 200 morons who attacked the US capitol on January 6th — believe in the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the greatness of this nation.
The system was last used to issue a public warning a year ago, when DHS issued a bulletin over potential retaliation by Iran for the U.S. assassination of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq days earlier. A year before that, DHS issued a bulletin through the same system to highlight the threat from foreign terrorist groups like ISIS or al-Qaida.
But over the past year, domestic terrorists “motivated by a range of issues, including anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, and police use of force have plotted and on occasion carried out attacks against government facilities,” and “long-standing racial and ethnic tension — including opposition to immigration — has driven [domestic terrorist] attacks,” the bulletin issued Wednesday said.
So remember: you’re a terrorist if you disagree over Wuhan-19 restrictions, election results? What issues about police use of force?
What can one conclude when one listens to any Leftist, any Demorat, anyone in the American Media Maggots, except that everything is now political, that there can be no dissent, no communication between Conservatives allowed.
The Demorat’s definition of “domestic terrorism” is so broad now, that it also includes National Guardsmen who are there to “protect” them from Horned Chewbacca Man and his ilk.
The purpose of the continued National Guard presence in DC, for example, and to keep insisting that Trump supporters, voters and Conservatives are domestic terrorists, is to keep people in fear, so they’ll surrender every right, freedom and bit of liberty they possess, just to be “safe.”
As Dennis Prager sadly wrote recently: “People do not yearn to be free. They yearn to be taken care of.”
When the LDAMM speak or write of “unity,” the only unity they’re talking about is a unified lockstep with their views, only their philosophy, only their political leanings. Only there can unity be found, they are saying.
Special Operations (SOF) units including 4,000 deputized National Guard soldiers acting as US Marshalls, have served indictments on, or were about to arrest 67% of Congress. Early Mon. morning 25 Jan. between3 and 6 am Military vans, buses and police cars, along with a multitude of police and Military troops, were very busy at a blacked out White House.
“I just watched everyone in the White House arrested” declared an unnamed person doing one of the two videos shown below. (Video contains graphic language) https://youtu.be/ywfXNGNvvuU
These stories are, unfortunately, more of the stupid shit that keeps getting passed around. This does Conservatives ZERO good, gets in our way and proves to Leftists, in their minds, that they ARE right about us, that we consist of morons.
Would I want that article or site removed? No. I believe in the First Amendment. But, as with Life, you have to be a common sense consumer of everything — and that includes news as well. Caveat Emptor. Let the buyer beware.
Then the same FBI that lied to a FISA court, helped Comey attempt to bring a coup against a presidential candidate, a president-elect and then a sitting president — decided that they’re going to arrest some schlub who created memes.
Yes. I wrote that. Memes.
BANANA REPUBLIC: Social Media Influencer Arrested by FBI For Sharing Memes
by DCP, 1-27-21
So the FBI has now arrested a citizen for reporting things that are allegedly untrue, but not the mainstream media? You have to be kidding me.
Oh, you mean just like the New York Times, as I delineated above?
In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, a Delray Beach man is accused of using his popular social-media accounts to intimidate and mislead voters in an effort to help former President Donald Trump win, according to a federal complaint.
Douglass Mackey, 31, used Twitter and Facebook accounts that operated under the alias “Ricky Vaughn” to spread disinformation in the form of memes, messages and hashtags that he developed for the goal of influencing voters, according to the complaint.
He was arrested on Wednesday and later released on $50,000 bond. Public records show he lives in Delray Beach.
His Twitter handle and alias is a reference to the character Ricky Vaughn played by Charlie Sheen in the 1989 film Major League. One of Mackey’s popular Twitter profile pictures featured a modified image of Sheen wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
You can’t write this. Well, I guess if you’re the FBI, you can arrest behind this.
One salient question, though. Why did it take you FIVE YEARS to make an arrest? It wouldn’t have anything to do with a new regime, a Biden regime, would it? You know, “get tough” on those black, hispanic, asian white supremacists who are clearly terrorist extremists?
So WHO actually killed Americans — by utilizing social media and videos advocating defunding the police, opening borders or no bail for murderers? Not Meme Guy. It’s people like AOC, Omar, Talib and other addled Leftists who did.
Tulsi Gabbard — perhaps a good upcoming candidate for president — recently made a startling statement. Startling in terms of its veracity and honesty.
The mob who stormed the capitol to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country. But let us be clear, the John Brennan’s, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are… pic.twitter.com/Q3VssCiz5l
That was the same Kammie Harris who wrote on Twitter:
And then said this during her own campaign.
So guess what? Biden banned fracking with the swipe of a pen and at least 11,000 jobs were killed, 8,000 of which were great paying UNION jobs with benefits, healthcare and more.
Rep. Maxine Waters: Trump will try to ‘take over legislatures, little towns and cities’
by Jessica Chasmar, 1-27-21
Rep. Maxine Waters said Sunday she wants former President Donald Trump to be convicted by the Senate and prevented from holding public office again, warning “he will be attempting to take over legislatures, little towns and cities” to reclaim power if he isn’t stopped.
During an appearance on MSNBC, the California Democrat said she’s been sounding the alarm about how “dangerous” Mr. Trump is and that “he showed his power” during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
“I do believe he sent all of these domestic terrorists to the Capitol to take over the Capitol, and that includes not only the Proud Boys but the Oath Keepers, the QAnon, and White supremacists. These people have been aligned with him,” Ms. Waters said in a clip first highlighted by Breitbart News.
Never forget that this was Maxine Waters. But she’s a Demorat Leftist, so here speech equates to simple opinion.
Make no mistake. I say again. All of this is predicated but upon one thought: fright.
Just as Wall Street threw camshafts with little guys making cash, DC Elites fear you. They feared Trump but he’s gone. They fear that his philosophies will return. Populism. Fighting for the Middle Class.
As we all know, social media and the American Media Maggots, in concert with the Demorats and Leftists, have done their level best to ensure that you, the average American citizen and — most importantly — taxpayer, has been treated like the average mushroom: kept in the dark, fed shit, and expected to produce nevertheless.
Don’t question what we say, don’t believe what you see us do — because we really didn’t do it. Okay, some of us did it, but that really doesn’t make any difference. Like Nancy Pelosi says, she was “set up” by her hairdresser.
Anyone besides me wondering “well, if you were set up by your hairdresser, what other ignorant decisions have you made in your 50,000 years in politics?” Sometimes, you have to actually be smarter than a house plant.
First, let’s sing an homage to Kalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom and other Leftist authoritarians in the age of Wuhan-19.
So let’s review, because so much more information has been revealed, and let’s examine this a bit chronologically, shall we, since my last communique?
How about some great ideas from Leftists and Demorats. Leftists cannot NOT destroy this nation and its economy. Leftist governors LOCKED down the country, now want to ADDITIONALLY TAX the same people they locked down — for complying. Leftists are insane. Let me remind you: Leftists destroy everything they touch.
Economists suggest $10 daily tax for those who work from home
WABC TV, 11-11-20
Should people who work from home face an additional tax?
The idea is not close to becoming reality, but economists from Deutsche Bank made the argument in a report that is causing quite a stir online.
The base argument here is that people who work from home aren’t using gas, buying coffee, doing things to help the economy that those who go into work tend to do.
Deutsche Bank researcher Luke Templeman is suggesting a $10 a day work from home tax in the U.S.
The money would help struggling workers who cannot work remotely.
Templeman and Jim Reid outline their plan in a November report called “What We Must Do to Rebuild,” saying the proposed tax would be for people who want to continue to work from home post-covid.
This is how the Leftist mind, in this case of Germany, functions. And you think you have problems now trying to find accurate information about Wuhan-19 — much less any other topic — just wait until Biden’s butt hits the Oval Office chair.
Biden Transition Official Believes the First Amendment Has a ‘Design Flaw’ — His Remedy Is to Curb Free Speech
by Robert Spencer, 11-14-20
Richard Stengel, according to the New York Post, “is the Biden transition ‘Team Lead’ for the US Agency for Global Media, the U.S. government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.” He is also a menace to our constitutional protections and to free society in general. If he is any indication of what is coming, we’re in for a rough four years, or longer.
Stengel wrote last year in a Washington Post op-ed that the freedom of speech must be restricted, for “all speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails. I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.”
Who determines that? Leftists, of course.
And our beloved Dr Fauci, King of All He Surveys, said this about Christmas.
CNN’s Jake Tapper this morning: “Christmas is probably not gonna be possible.” pic.twitter.com/z56ifNCr3G
Did you listen to his demands? If so, you’re likely a Leftist or a Fear Porn junkie.
Let me state up front: Leftists and Demorats are removing your freedoms, and then selling them occasionally back to you, when it suits their purposes, one molecule at a time, as long as you promise to obey them.
How do you keep an electorate under control? You frighten them beyond their wits. You tell them they’re going to die without a mask or six feet — but your superiors won’t be doing that. You tell them they can’t vote in person. You mushroom them. You keep them in the dark and feed them shit, then expect them to also keep producing taxes.
Because a frightened electorate will believe anything you tell them, and do anything you say, just for a scrap of bread or a sup of water. “Thank you sir, may I have another sir?”
The Wall Street Journal asked:
As Covid-19 Surges, the Big Unknown Is Where People Are Getting Infected
The U.S. and Europe struggle to identify where coronavirus infections are occurring, making it hard to impose targeted restrictions
I can answer that: no one really can say for sure. Statistics prove it isn’t in restaurants and bars, but we’ll get to that.
The other place people get infected? On paper. Through tests with false positives.
But who needs so-called “targeted restrictions”? Just restrict everything, according to Leftists and Demorats. See how much easier that is?
‘Time is of the essence’: 94% of CA population plunges into most restrictive COVID tier
Gov. Gavin Newsom says 41 of 58 counties will be in the purple tier; state weighs possibility of curfew
“California is pulling an emergency brake,” he said in announcing that 41 counties, which comprise over 94% of the state’s population, will be in the purple tier, effective Tuesday. Last week, 13 counties were in the state’s most restrictive tier.
A curfew! That will do it! Why didn’t I see that? Wuhan-19 is nothing if not obedient, if you just teach it how to tell time.
Mass exodus from NYC is happening as New York state to lose $1.4 billion in tax revenue: Report
The Blaze, 11-19-20
New York is in real trouble.
Some extremely worrisome data has recently emerged providing a glimpse into the economic downfall of the real estate market in New York during the coronavirus pandemic.
The New York Post published a report detailing how New Yorkers are fleeing NYC in vast numbers. According to data from the United States Postal Service, more than 300,000 NYC residents have moved out of the Big Apple since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Remembering, of course, that people don’t just vote at the ballot box. They vote with their feet as well.
Then there’s the continued lying a fudging numbers by the CDC and other “official” organizations. From GatewayPundit.com:
CDC Lists 26,557 Heart Attacks as COVID Deaths, Lists 7,919 Accidents and Poisonings as COVID Deaths
by Jim Hoft, 11-16-20
According to the CDC there were 26,557 heart attacks listed as Coronavirus deaths.
The CDC also revealed in their latest numbers that hospitals have been counting patients who died from serious preexisting conditions as COVID-19 deaths.
One America’s Pearson Sharp has more.
“The CARES Act, passed by Congress in March of 2020, gives hospitals a 20% bonus on their diagnosis-related group, paid for by Medicare. Essentially, that means doctors are being paid to list deaths as Coronavirus without any indication the patient’s death was actually Covid-related.”
PLUS: “The CDC explains the Coronavirus itself is responsible for just 6% of all deaths listed as Coronavirus related. The other 94% of deaths are due to pre-existing co-morbidities including serious illnesses and advanced age.”
JUST. LIKE. THE. YEARLY. FLU. Except that Wuhan-19 is much more easily transmissible.
Again, as I’ve said numerous, numerous times, the difference between “with” and “of.”
PA gov announces new COVID rules, including wearing a mask in your house
by Frank Miles, 11-17-20
Pennsylvania is planning to take additional steps to address a sharp increase in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations, including requiring masks to be worn indoors with limited exceptions, officials said Tuesday.
In addition, starting Friday, anyone who enters Pennsylvania must be tested at least 72 hours before arrival, and if they can or do not get a test, they must quarantine for 14 days. The order does not apply to people who commute to neighboring states for work or health care, officials said, and will be largely self-enforced.
Pennsylvania already has a statewide mask mandate, limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings and occupancy restrictions at bars and restaurants.
But the new rules go even further. Masks are required outside where it isn’t possible to maintain at least a six-foot distance from others, according to the order, and inside where people from multiple households are gathering, even if they can maintain a social distance.
Butler County Sheriff: ‘I’m not going to be the curfew police’
by Travis Peters, 11-17-20
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a statewide curfew Tuesday. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says he will not enforce it.
He is not the “mask police,” and now Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says he’s not the “curfew police,” either.
“This curfew is going to do nothing, absolutely nothing,” Jones said.
Just spoke to @butlersheriff about @GovMikeDeWine‘s curfew to stop COVID-19. He says he will not be the mask police, or the curfew police.
“It is easy when you are up on top of the mountain to make these rules and look down. It’s a lot harder when you’re down looking up.” @FOX19pic.twitter.com/dwMVRowYuh
Let’s remember that back on December 3rd, Kalifornia Governor Newsom put the entire state on a lockdown again. No one did, of course. The freeways were packed. Traffic up to Lake Tahoe was packed.
Newsom imposes new regional COVID-19 restrictions as cases spike
by Nathaniel Weixel, 12-3-20
Californians will face strict limits on in-person gatherings and shopping under new rules announced Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in an attempt to control the rapid spread of COVID-19 infections.
The rules will temporarily close indoor dining, bars, playgrounds, wineries, live sports with crowds, nail and hair salons and other personal services for a three-week period.
Schools already open will remain open, as will retail stores and malls, with a 20 percent capacity and metering restrictions. Religious institutions would be limited to outdoor services.
And you couldn’t have listened to this Los Angeles restaurant owner without crying, yourself.

Los Angeles Health Officials Unable to Provide Data to Support Outdoor Dining Ban
by Zachary Steiber, 11-25-20
Los Angeles County public health officials on Tuesday said they don’t have data to support a weekslong ban on outdoor dining, triggering pushback from supervisors.
Health officials said they believe outdoor eating at restaurants is a place with a high risk of transmission of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
Dr. Muntu Davis, the county’s public health officer, told the county Board of Supervisors that the best data officials have is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency in September published a case control probe that found a link between COVID-19 cases and going to locations that offer on-site eating and drinking options.
But that report did not distinguish between outdoor and indoor dining and Davis admitted officials don’t have information about restaurant patrons contracting COVID-19.
“But fuck it, we’ll do it anyway because we have the power and you don’t.” Trust me, if Trump wanted outdoor dining banned, they’d be screaming to keep it open.
There was some common sense. Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County (CA) nailed the hypocrisy of Newsom’s dictatorial edicts which are NOT backed by “the science.” Over 60% of the new cases are from people who STAYED INSIDE under lockdown.
Pelosi fears passing another virus relief bill would give Trump a win, Mnuchin says
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday that he worries another coronavirus relief package might not be enacted because Speaker Nancy Pelosi fears it would reflect positively on President Trump.
“I am somewhat concerned that she is afraid that any deal would be good for the president,” he told CNBC.
Pelosi previously encountered criticism for not supporting a moderate Democratic proposal, insisting on a much larger price tag. The current proposal from the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats working to find bipartisan solutions, is $908 billion, significantly less than the $1.5 trillion proposed before the election. In October, the White House had also proposed a $1.8 trillion package, roughly twice the size of the one Pelosi is now backing.
When asked about her shift on supporting the much smaller package, Pelosi cited “a new president and a vaccine.”
She added that the current proposal “has simplicity, it’s what we had in our bills, it’s for a shorter period of time, but that’s O.K. now because we have a new president.”
Translation: we couldn’t have afforded to give Trump anything remotely resembling a “win.”
Bernie Sanders concedes Democrats held up coronavirus relief: ‘That’s right’
by Audrey Conklin, 12-8-20
His remarks seemed to clash with the Democratic narrative
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Monday criticized Democratic leaders for getting behind a smaller $908 billion coronavirus relief package after rejecting a $1.8 trillion proposal from President Trump in October
Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to explode, hospital systems are scrambling to intensify their measures for protecting patients and health care workers from the virus. An increasing number of frontline providers are wondering whether this effort should include universal use of masks by all health care workers. Universal masking is already standard practice in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other parts of Asia and has recently been adopted by a handful of U.S. hospitals.
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.

Mexico: López Obrador says pandemic lockdowns are the tactic of dictators
AP, 12-2-20
Mexicos’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador suggested on Wednesday that politicians who impose lockdowns or curfews to limit Covid-19 are acting like dictators.
The comments came as López Obrador once again fended off questions about why he almost never wears a face mask, saying it was a question of liberty.
The Mexican leader said pandemic measures that limit people’s movements are “fashionable among authorities … who want to show they are heavy-handed, dictatorship.
“A lot of them are letting their authoritarian instincts show,” he said, adding “the fundamental thing is to guarantee liberty.”
Companies part of group founded by CA governor collectively get nearly $3 million in PPP loans, data shows
ABC7, 12-8-20
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — At least eight companies partially owned by Gov. Gavin Newsom collectively received millions of dollars from the Paycheck Protection Program, according to an ABC7 analysis.
While data released by the Small Business Administration earlier this year showed the PlumpJack Group received up to $350,000 worth of PPP loans, newly-released data by the SBA indicated PlumpJack businesses – including wineries, bars, and restaurants – received more than eight times that amount at nearly $3 million altogether.
The average small business loan for California companies retaining 14 employees was roughly $128,000. Yet, the PlumpJack entity Villa Encinal Partners LP – that according to SBA data also retained 14 employees – received more than seven times that amount at $918,720.
ABC7 reached out to Gov. Newsom for further comment on this story and have yet to hear back.
Then on December 9th, Governor Newsom locked down the entire state under his “stay at home” order. Unconstitutional as it was. The freeways were packed. Lots of cars were still traveling to Lake Tahoe on the weekends.
Flu hospitalizations this season too low for CDC to run model on disease burden
by Michael Lee, 12-7-20
Influenza hospitalizations so far this fall have been too low for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to run its model on the burden of the flu season.
“CDC, can’t run their flu model; too few hospitalizations,” columnist Phil Kerpen noted on Twitter while sharing a snapshot of the CDC website.
“The model used to generate influenza in-season preliminary burden estimates uses current season flu hospitalization data,” the CDC website says. “Reported flu hospitalizations are too low at this time to generate an estimate.”
That wouldn’t be because any deaths resulting from the flu somehow got rolled in Wuhan-19 deaths, would it?
In the meantime, people occasionally found their voices. I had been saying, all along, that people should withdraw the consent of the governed.
Anti-mask protesters in Idaho overwhelm cops, force cancellation of public health meeting
by Joseph Wilkinson, 12-9-20
Idaho public health commissioners had to shut down their meeting and scramble home because of coordinated protests across the Boise area.
The commissioners tried to meet Tuesday to address the COVID-19 pandemic, but were met with fierce resistance from anti-mask protesters, the Idaho Statesman reported.
The anti-maskers gathered outside the public health building in downtown Boise and at commissioners’ houses around the city, according to a press release from Boise police.
One person was arrested trespassing at the public health building, according to Boise police. Cops said they’re trying to get arrest warrants for some people who demonstrated outside the officials’ homes.
Please note that if you’re protesting outside the houses of various officials for freedom, you’re subject to arrest. If you’re protesting because you want to rip freedom apart, light fires and loot, then that’s nifty.
Of course, we’re on hyperdrive with a vaccine. Let’s ask Billionaire Bill about its safety.
Austrian FPÖ Member of Parliament Michael Schnedlitz administered a COVID-19 PCR test to the beverage Coca Cola in the plenum before his colleagues. The popular drink tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
He said he was performing the test live before parliament: “so you can see how worthless and misguided these mass tests are.”
He continued: “The evidence is overwhelming, starting with the absolutely absurd mass tests that are currently being carried out, which are nothing more than a large-scale redistribution of tens of millions of euros in tax money from the population…it can’t go on like this.”

Canadian Pathologist: Coronavirus Is “Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated”
By Ryan Craswell, 11-19-20
A leading Canadian pathologist called COVID-19 a hoax and shamed governments nation-wide for overblown responses.
In a recently released Zoom call with Edmonton City Council, Dr. Roger Hodkinson said the virus is nothing more than “bad flu”. He suggested the hysteria and shutdowns stop immediately while also criticizing the public for blindly donning masks and walking around “like lemmings”.
“This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public,” said Hodkinson in his address. “It’s outrageous.”
“It should be nothing more than a bad flu season,” he continued. “This is not Ebola, it’s not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine, and that’s a very dangerous game.”
Dr. Hodkinson is a graduate of Cambridge University in the UK. He is a medical specialist in pathology, including virology, and served as Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa. He previously worked as a Pathologist in the Medical Examiner’s Office in Edmonton and is now the CEO of Western Medical Assessments.
He called on the city officials to open businesses, drop any mask mandates and get back to life as normal.
“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians,” he said.
“Masks are utterly useless,” Dr. Hodkinson added. “There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling.”
The doctor also called social distancing useless. He said the only action needed is for people to rest at home while sick, protect the most vulnerable and give at-risk individuals 3,000-5,000 IU of Vitamin D per day.
Dr. Hodkinson noted that Vitamin D has been “shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection”.
“You gotta get a grip on this,” he told the council. “The scale of the response you are undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous.
Employees of closed businesses have “bills to pay, children to feed, presents to gift and they’re going to lose their homes.”
More than 150 businesses plan to reopen this week in defiance of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s coronavirus shutdown.
The businesses have organized as the Reopen Minnesota Coalition. This group has created a Facebook page and GoFundMe to raise awareness and money for business owners who will likely face legal consequences for their actions. Rural businesses involved in the effort plan to open Wednesday, Dec. 16, while metro businesses will open two days later on Friday. Walz’s current shutdown order is set to expire on Friday, but an extension is possible.
As Santa Barbara County battles against its third wave of the coronavirus, reporting 643 active cases Friday and 140 total deaths, Solvang is actively flouting Governor Gavin Newsom’s latest stay-at-home order. The order closed all in-person dining, hotels, and wineries and breweries ― the types of businesses the Danish-themed tourist town lives on.
On Monday, the city council voted to defy the state edict, which applies to the entire Southern California region, including Los Angeles. Mayor Ryan Toussaint filed the emergency motion. It was approved unanimously. “As of tonight, they can go about their business,” said Councilmember Daniel Johnson of the restaurants and bars lining downtown’s Copenhagen Drive.
“People can’t keep getting kicked like this,” said Councilmember Robert Clarke, complaining Solvang and Santa Barbara County shouldn’t be lumped with Los Angeles and its spiking caseload. “Maybe we need to rename all our restaurants French Laundry,” he quipped, alluding to Newsom’s famously hypocritical close-quarters dinner at an upscale Napa restaurant.

Northstate lawmakers call for restaurants to be declared essential
by Austin Herbaugh, 12-15-20
REDDING, Calif. — Northstate lawmakers are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to declare restaurants essential to allow them to stay open during the pandemic.
“Closed restaurants means jobs lost, missed rent, mortgage and car payments and a lot of unemployment checks,” the Dec.11 letter sent to the Governor reads in part.
Several state lawmakers– including Northstate Republican Senators Brian Dahle and Jim Nielsen– are urging Newsom to lift tough restrictions that are devastating many businesses.
“We ask that you immediately reclassify the restaurant industry as critical infrastructure before even more damage is done to our communities,” the letter states before emphasizing the role these businesses play in communities.
The California Restaurant Association reports that 60% of California restaurants are owned by people of color, and 50% of California restaurants are owned or partly-owned by women. in 2019, more than 1.8 million jobs were attributed to the restaurant and food service industry in California. This equates to approximately eleven percent of employment in the state. Closed restaurants means jobs lost, missed rent, mortgage and car payments and a lot of unemployment checks.
California’s Health Secretary Concedes There Is No Empirical Basis for the State’s Ban on Outdoor Dining
by Jacob Sullum, 12-11-20
The ban is “not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining,” Mark Ghaly says, but part of the effort to keep people from leaving home.
This week a Los Angeles County judge ruled that a local ban on outdoor dining at restaurants, ostensibly aimed at reducing transmission of the COVID-19 virus, was “not grounded in science, evidence, or logic.” Around the same time, California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly admitted that the same thing is true of a state ban on outdoor dining that currently applies to all of Southern California, including Los Angeles County. Ghaly said that ban, which is one of many restrictions that are triggered when a region’s available ICU capacity drops below 15 percent, is “not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining” but is instead aimed at discouraging Californians from leaving home.
“The decision to include, among other sectors, outdoor dining and limiting that, turning to restaurants to deliver and provide takeout options instead, really has to do with the goal of trying to keep people at home,” Ghaly said during a briefing on Tuesday. He noted that “we have worked hard with that industry to create safer ways for outdoor dining to happen.”
The whole deal behind Wuhan-19 is Slim Shady at best. Because then you have this.
Founder of vaccine safety website, ex-pharma insider found dead
by Emily Mangiaracina, 12-15-20
‘If something were to happen to me,’ Brandy Vaughan wrote in late 2019, ‘it’s foul play and you know exactly who and why.’
Brandy Vaughan, a former sales executive for the pharmaceutical company Merck and the founder of learntherisk.org, a website dedicated to educating people on the risks associated with vaccines, was apparently found dead by her nine-year-old son on December 8.
According to Children’s Health Defense, Vaughan is reported to have died of “gallbladder complications,” although the source of the report has not been cited, nor has it shared the specific cause of the complications (such as a gallbladder rupture).
Soon after learning of her death, a friend of Vaughn’s, Erin Elizabeth, shared screenshots of a Facebook post Vaughan had written in December of 2019, in which she assured readers that she was not suicidal and did not take any drugs that would cause her to die suddenly.
In her 2019 Facebook post, Vaughan wrote, “If something were to happen to me, I have arranged for a close group of my friends to start a GoFundMe to hire a team of private investigators to figure out all the details.”
“There have been many on this mission or a similar one that have been killed and it’s time this b——- stopped. The darkness cannot win.”
And, of course, that’s the very last you heard of that.
We know that freedom and security are a scale, and we try our best to balance them. You can have lots of freedom but less security. You can have lots of security but little freedom. When Hollywood weighs in, you know there is a concern.
David Mamet Warns Americans Are Giving Up Their Rights Under Coronavirus Lockdowns: ‘We’ve Forgotten the Constitution’
by David Ng, 12-17-20
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Mamet is warning Americans that they are giving up their Constitutional rights under coronavirus lockdowns, saying that questioning government authorities needs to remain a vital part of the country’s democratic tradition.
In an interview with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125, David Mamet blasted the shut-down and stay-at-home orders that have once again taken effect in many states, leading to widespread economic devastation.
“It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s the first time in history that an entire economy has been shut down because of an infection,” he said during Wednesday’s broadcast. “And obviously everyone gets to pick his or her own experts and say whom they believe in. But that’s what you’re supposed to do with your health, right? We’re supposed to make our own decisions about our health.”
Fauci blames America’s ‘independent spirit’ for rise in COVID cases
by Art Moore, 12-17-20
America’s “independent spirit” is partly to blame for the fact that the Fauci family won’t be gathering for Christmas, says the White House coronavirus adviser.
He was asked Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Post’s Power Up newsletter whether the rise in cases this fall could be attributed to American individualism or President Trump’s refusals to mandate masks and other mitigation efforts.
The “independent spirit in the United States of people not wanting to comply with public health measures has certainly hurt us a bit,” Fauci said.
Damn you for embracing your stupid Bill of Rights.
Business owners in New York City weren’t happy. But wait; there’s more.

San Francisco’s 10-Day Travel Quarantine Order Takes Effect
NBC, 12-17-20
San Francisco on Thursday announced a mandatory 10-day quarantine for anyone coming into the city from outside the Bay Area, and it went into effect Friday.
The travel quarantine order, which started at 12:01 a.m. Friday, remains in effect until at least 12:01 a.m. Jan. 4. It applies to returning residents and those moving to the city who spent any time outside the following nearby counties: San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Sonoma, Napa, Marin and Santa Cruz.
Those who have to quarantine have to stay home and not physically interact with others outside their household. They are not allowed to go to work, school or any other place outside their home. They should have food and other essential items delivered to them.
This, of course, was ridiculous on its face. How do you enforce this? Shut down the Bay Bridge? The Golden Gate Bridge?
Thank goodness some people know how to act during a plandemic.
Then this information dribbled out of the World Health Organization, the WHO, and was promptly tamped down and removed from social media.
WHO Finally Admits COVID19 PCR Test Has A ‘Problem’
by John O’Sullivan, 12-17-20
In a statement released on December 14, 2020 the World Health Organization finally owned up to what 100,000’s of doctors and medical professionals have been saying for months: the PCR test used to diagnose COVID-19 is a hit and miss process with way too many false positives.
This WHO-admitted “Problem” comes in the wake of international lawsuits exposing the incompetence and malfeasance of public health officials and policymakers for reliance on a diagnostic test not fit for purpose.
This World Health Organization admission is that the crux of the “problem” is a wholly arbitrary cycling process which “means that many cycles were required to detect virus. In some circumstances, the distinction between background noise and actual presence of the target virus is difficult to ascertain.” [emphasis added]
The UN body is now clearly looking to distance itself from the fatally flawed test as a growing number of lawsuits are processing through the courts exposing the insanity of relying on a test that even the inventor, Professor Kary B. Mullis said was never designed to diagnose diseases. [1]
Again, let me state the obvious. If the DC politicians — on both side of aisle, Demorats and Republicans — truly cared about the effects of the Coronavirus on average American lawful citizens, they would have crafted a clear bill, put nothing else inside, and passed it in the light of day.
But they refused. Both parties. They played politics with your lives, your family, your parents, your grandparents, your job, your business, your mortgage, your bills, your car payments, and brought additional drugs, overdoses, mental conditions, suicides and human torment into the mix.
Demorats didn’t want to give Trump a path towards a second term victory. And YOU were the political ping-pong ball slapped about on the table by both sides. Did you HEAR ANY Republican — at all — even one time — call for a clear bill?
No you didn’t. Instead, they wanted to slip bullshit and politics and billions of dollars we don’t have into a bill that sent more billions of YOUR hard-earned American Taxpayer Dollars overseas.
They clearly displayed, to me, that they have ZERO concern for you. THEY have jobs. THEY haven’t had to sacrifice or lose businesses, homes, marriages, friends and family members to suicide.
REMEMBER THIS.
$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic. You deserve better.
I voted against the 5,593-page spending bill that gave billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex & other countries, leaving crumbs for you who need help most. pic.twitter.com/82F1HYF43T
Later, after this is all over, I’m sure we’ll find some commonalities in dealing with the plandemic. One will be the CRIMINAL FAILURE to prophylatically apply hydroxychloroquine. There will be others. This may be one immediate commonality.
Study finds over 80 percent of COVID-19 patients vitamin D deficient
by Jackie Salo, 10-27-20
More than 80 percent of 200 patients hospitalized in Spain with COVID-19 had low levels of vitamin D, a new study found.
The study, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, found that the majority of patients being treated for COVID-19 at a hospital in the northern city of Santander suffered from a deficiency of vitamin D.
Researchers at the University of Cantabria determined that just 82 percent of the 216 patients had inadequate levels — compared to around 47 percent of people in a control group who didn’t have the virus.
The vitamin, which promotes healthy bones and supports immune system function, is produced by the body naturally when it’s exposed to sunlight, though it can also be obtained from eating foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, mushrooms and cheese.
Patients with deficiencies of the sunlight vitamin in the study were also more likely to have hypertension and heart disease, as well as experience longer hospital stays.
One thing mentioned during the 1918 flu pandemic — which occurred in the middle of World War I, was that soldiers and victims were placed in outdoors tents and settings. Did this have an affect? Again, time will tell.
Then bit by bit, more information leaked. Things were not always what they seemed. Again, social media didn’t want you to have this information. There was and is, naturally, only one way to think about the plandemic, and that’s to do everything that Dr Anthony Fauci says.
Minnesota lawmakers say coronavirus deaths could be inflated by 40% after reviewing death certificates
by Emma Colton, 12-22-20
Two Minnesota state lawmakers are calling for an audit of death certificates that were attributed to the coronavirus, saying COVID-19 deaths could have been inflated by 40%.
“I have other examples where COVID isn’t the underlying cause of death, where we have a fall. Another example is we have a freshwater drowning. We have dementia. We have a stroke and multiorgan failure,” Franson said in the video.
She added that in one case, a person who was ejected from a car was “counted as a COVID death” because the virus was in his system.
Shark bite. Covid. You’ve seen the meme.
“For 17 years, the CDC document that guides us as physicians to do death certificates has stood, but this year, we were told, through the Department of Health and the CDC, that the rules were changing if COVID-19 was involved.”
“If it’s COVID-19, we’re told now it doesn’t matter if it was actually the diagnosis that caused death. If someone had it, they died of it,” he said.
Then there was this release from OAN and man, you were NEVER to report this in social media. It would get you instantly excommunicated.

Small business calls for mandatory vaccine laws for employees
12-27-20
Small businesses are calling for a new law to stand down workers without pay if they refuse to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The Pfizer-bioNtech vaccine is set to be rolled out across Australia in March. Business owners fear employees won’t come to work if co-workers have not received the jab. Industrial relations minister Christian Porter says a number of issues are yet to be discussed by the government.
Asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 didn’t occur at all, study of 10 million finds
by Michael Haynes, 12-23-20
Only 300 asymptomatic cases in the study of nearly 10 million were discovered, and none of those tested positive for COVID-19.
A study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan, China, found that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 did not occur at all, thus undermining the need for lockdowns, which are built on the premise of the virus being unwittingly spread by infectious, asymptomatic people.
Published in November in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the paper was compiled by 19 scientists, mainly from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, but also from scientific institutions across China as well as in the U.K. and Australia. It focused on the residents of Wuhan, ground zero for COVID-19, where 9,899,828 people took part in a screening program between May 14 and June 1, which provided clear results as to the possibility of any asymptomatic transmission of the virus.
Asymptomatic transmission has been the underlying justification of lockdowns enforced all across the world. The most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still states that the virus “can be spread by people who do not have symptoms.” In fact, the CDC claimed that asymptomatic people “are estimated to account for more than 50 percent of transmissions.”
Do you see what’s happening here? Do you see what is unfolding before your eyes?
The recent findings should enable society to reopen once more, according to the AIER. Without asymptomatic transmission, “the whole basis for post-curve-flattening lockdowns,” life should resume and “we could take comfort in our normal intuition that healthy people can get out and about with no risk to others.”
The New York Post — shut down because it reported the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop — reports more truth.
How cancel culture keeps COVID-19 lockdown doubters silent
by Karol Markowicz, 12-27-20
Say the wrong thing online, and have your life destroyed. Cancel culture has permeated everything, including debates over how to deal with the pandemic.
On the left, the conversation is heavily policed, with clear red lines drawn around “unacceptable” opinion. Reopening schools was treated as “irresponsible,” even though the numbers said otherwise. It wasn’t until Oct. 9 when things began to shift. That’s when a piece headlined “Schools Aren’t Super-Spreaders” appeared in The Atlantic. The piece didn’t exactly break new ground. What mattered is that it appeared in a liberal publication. That made it OK to believe and say what even many liberal parents knew but didn’t dare voice.
Very few on the left have pointed out that, hey, these lockdowns don’t seem to be working at all. The groupthink on the left is fiercely enforced.
Absolutely. Because when the Gateway Pundit wrote this, and I re-Tweeted the article, I was suspended by Twitter and suspended by Fakebook for 30 days.
330,000 Americans Die ‘With’ China Coronavirus – CDC says Number Who Died “From” Coronavirus Is Much Less, Around 6 Percent
by Joe Hoft, 12-27-20
We reported in August that the CDC admits that only 6% of all deaths in the US classified as Coronavirus deaths actually died from the China Coronavirus alone.
Yes, this was from the CDC’s own reporting. So today it looks like less than 20,000 deaths in the US (330,000 x 6% = 19,800) over the past year have actually been due to the coronavirus only. The remainder of the deaths reported by the CDC include accidents, overdoses, suicides and those presumed to have had the coronavirus upon their death.
This is the MASSIVE difference between two words: WITH and OF.
Federal Court Blocks Governor Cuomo’s Restrictions on Churches
Wiz, 12-28-20
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit blocked New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions on religious gatherings.
On November 25, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case, Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, holding that New York may not enforce 10- or 25-person congregation-size limits on certain Catholic churches and Orthodox synagogues, pending further litigation, because the restrictions likely discriminated against religion in violation of the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked Cuomo from enforcing the restrictions but sent the case back down to the 2nd Circuit for further review.
Today, the 2nd Circuit held that Cuomo COVID restrictions were unconstitutional.
There were bound to be issues with vaccines. You’re an adult. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.
ER nurse tests positive for COVID-19 eight days after receiving vaccine
by Michael Chen, 12-29-20
Health experts are weighing in after a San Diego-area nurse tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
In a Facebook message posted on December 18, Matthew W., an ER nurse at two different hospitals, talked about receiving the Pfizer vaccine that day. He told ABC 10News his arm was sore for a day but he suffered no other side effects.
Six days later on Christmas Eve — after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit — Matthew, 45, became sick. He got the chills and later came down with muscle aches and fatigue.
The day after Christmas, he went to a drive-up hospital testing site and tested positive for COVID-19.
Again, agencies and entities are playing fast and loose with the numbers. It’s why I doubt much of what I hear from the American Media Maggots and so-called “health professionals” when they tell me it’s “about the science.”
How can California have 0% ICU capacity and 1,300 available ICU beds?
12-29-20
We’ve been hearing for weeks about the crush of patients crowding intensive care units in hospitals as California copes with the worst phase of the coronavirus pandemic. But when the Golden State’s official calculation for statewide ICU capacity dropped to 0% late last week, it raised a question that anyone with a basic understanding of math would find perplexing:
How could something be at “zero percent” — for example, ICU beds — when some are still available?
Turns out, as with so many metrics tracking the COVID-19 outbreak, the state’s definition of “capacity” is far from simple.
With Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office desperately trying to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, the state on Dec. 3 linked its latest stay-at-home orders to ICU capacity. It broke California into five regions and announced that new restrictions would be triggered when ICU capacity dropped below 15%.
Adjusted or unadjusted, health experts say ICU capacity is a highly fluid number that also factors in the availability of ICU nurses, necessary equipment, and suitable space — not simply beds. Ultimately, experts say, capacity can be increased some, but gauging capacity is an essential tool to monitor how much we’re straining the system.
Dr. John Swartzberg, professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California-Berkeley, said he understands why the state is adjusting ICU capacity but worries it could cause confusion and distrust.
“They need to explain why they’re thinking that way,” Swartzberg said of the state’s formula.
Fact Check: Did Democrats Block COVID Relief 40 Times as Republicans Claim?
“Democrats blocked key aid for small businesses and American workers 40+ times,” a graphic shared on social media said. GOP legislators, committees and the GOP shared similar sentiments, as well.
Mostly true.
Technically speaking, Republicans have tried more than 40 times to bring another round of relief to businesses and workers.
And here’s the evil statistic no one on the Left wants you to know.
Overdoses Have Killed More Than Three Times as Many People as COVID-19 in San Francisco
by Mel Baker, 12-17-20
While COVID-19 deaths have the potential for exponential growth due to the nature of a viral pandemic, they are dwarfed by the number of people who have died from drug overdoses in the city this year.
As of Dec. 16, the San Francisco Department of Public Health reports that 172 people have died from COVID-19. The number of overdose deaths reported through the end of October stood at 570. There were 441 in 2019.
Dr. Hannah Snyder, an addiction specialist at San Francisco’s general hospital, said the main driver of overdose death is the prevalence of the powerful opioid fentanyl.
Overdoses. Suicide. Domestic violence. Alcoholism. Follow the science blindly. There are no unforeseen circumstances for doing so.
“I’m Choosing The Risk Of Getting COVID”: Over Half Of Health Care Workers At California Hospitals Refuse Vaccinations
by Tyler Durden, 1-2-21
California’s health workers are refusing to take the new COVID-19 vaccines – with over half of frontline workers at one hospital unwilling to take it, and between 20% and 50% of workers at other facilities who feel the same, according to the Los Angeles Times.
So many frontline workers in Riverside County have refused the vaccine — an estimated 50% — that hospital and public officials met to strategize how best to distribute the unused doses, Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari said. -LA Times
Alarming number of US health care workers are refusing COVID-19 vaccine
by Kenneth Garger, 1-1-21
US health care workers are first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine — but an alarming number across the country are refusing to do so.
Earlier this week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine disclosed that about 60 percent of the nursing home workers in his state have so far chosen not to get vaccinated.
More than half of New York City’s EMS workers have shown skepticism, The Post reported last month.
And now California and Texas are experiencing a high rate of health care worker refusals, according to reports.
An estimated 50 percent of front-line workers in Riverside County in the Golden State opted against the drug, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing public health officials.
That is called a clue.
And this is what Leftists have in mind for you if Wuhan-19 gets worse.

FDA warns Congress about Covid test that may give false results
NBC, 1-6-21
The new warning questions the efficacy of the tests administered by start-up Curative just weeks after becoming readily available in November.
Food and Drug Administration had a message for Congress — the tests available yield an alarmingly high rate of false negatives.
After a monthslong delay on Capitol Hill to implement Covid-19 testing for the members and staff, thousands of those who work in the building have become reliant on the system due to increased holiday travel and exposure.
But the new FDA warning questions the efficacy of tests administered by the start-up Curative just weeks after becoming readily available in November after a slew of positive cases among lawmakers.
Fauci reinforces WHO’s recognition that vaccine may not prevent contraction, spread of virus
The World Health Organization said last week that there is no evidence that the vaccine prevents people from getting the virus and then passing it on.
With the possibility of coronavirus vaccine mandates for students, airline travelers and others, infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledges that the shots may not prevent the spread of the infection by those vaccinated.
Fauci’s statement in a recent Newsweek interview reinforced statements from the World Health Organization about the uncertainty around whether a vaccine will prevent infection or whether there will still be the possibility that those who receive a shot can still transmit the virus.
Studies suggest that symptoms could be lighter or unnoticeable with the shot, possibly allowing vaccinated individuals to still contract and spread the coronavirus.
“We do not know if the vaccines that prevent clinical disease also prevent infection,” Fauci said. “They very well might, but we have not proven that yet. … That’s the reason I keep saying that even though you get vaccinated, we should not eliminate, at all, public health measures like wearing masks because we don’t know yet what the effect [of the vaccine] is on transmissibility.”
1. Flatten the curve.
2. Don’t wear masks. Wear masks.
3. Just another month.
4. Stay home, don’t go out.
5. A vaccine will solve everything.
6. A vaccine won’t do shit.
7. Maybe 2022. Maybe not.
8. Shut up and do what I say.
Mushroomed. Fed shit. Kept in the dark. Shut up. Don’t listen to this.
Then, magically, mystically, all is well.
Cuomo: reopen the economy.
Whitmer: reopen the economy.
Bowser: reopen the economy.
1. So now that Trump won’t have a second term, it’s magically, politically, okay to open up after 10 months of KILLING businesses.
2. At a time that it’s CLAIMED Wuhan-19 cases are “SKYROCKETING.”
3. Meaning: the point was NEVER “the science,” was it?
Cuomo still refuses to disclose total number of COVID-19 nursing home deaths: watchdog
by Carl Campanile, 1-13-21
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration is again refusing to release the total number of nursing home residents who’ve died from the coronavirus for at least another two months — until March 22 at the earliest, a watchdog group charged.
The state Health Department is only publicly reporting residents who physically died in nursing homes – but not those who died after being sent to hospitals for medical care.
The state reports more than 8,201 residents died in nursing homes. But unreported nursing home deaths — those who were ill and died in the hospitals — could be in the thousands, said the Empire Center’s Bill Hammond.
“The state is stonewalling — plain and simple,” Hammond said in an interview Wednesday night.
“This would be like the New York City Police Department reporting homicides on weekdays and not weekends.”
I get to say this and write this because, after all, it is my blog and my post and my show — at least for a while until we turn into North Korea.
This was greatly avoidable had people prophylactically applied hydroxychloroquine and other cheap drugs. We will look upon this time in our history and realize, sadly, that we could have saved, literally, hundreds of thousands of Americans by using our heads and common sense.
Hour 1: BZ spoke to the incredible journalist SUSAN KATZ KEATING who currently writes for John Solomon’s JustTheNews.com website — and we discussed the state of journalism today, our military, intelligence agencies — and just what is a “21st Century Bedouin With A Go-Bag”?
I’ll summarize up front:
Hold that thought about Liz Cheney.

It’s eight days into the Biden Administration, and that has so far yielded FORTY (40) Presidential Executive Orders — 21 on the first day, and 10 on Biden’s second day in office.
Let’s go into a bit of detail. Because, in truth, it’s oh-so-glorious.
And then said this during her own campaign.
As we all know, social media and the American Media Maggots, in concert with the Demorats and Leftists, have done their level best to ensure that you, the average American citizen and — most importantly — taxpayer, has been treated like the average mushroom: kept in the dark, fed shit, and expected to produce nevertheless.
Again, as I’ve said numerous, numerous times, the difference between “with” and “of.”
Let’s remember that 
Los Angeles County shut down outdoor dining 
And oddly enough, like magic, the
