Ah, what this week?

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

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

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

WAExaminer, 2-3-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

MSNBC Promo: Look at Our Obsequious Fawning Over Biden!

by Kyle Drennan, 2-3-21

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

HAPPY STORY:

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

by Phil Shiver, 2-2-21

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

Juicy and lovely.

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Brad Polombo, 2-2-21

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

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

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

Wowzer. Looks like jobs really ARE transportable.

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

This is the standard Leftist bleat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HAPPY STORY: If you live in Poland.

Poland proposes social media ‘free speech’ law

by Adam Easton, 1-15-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Ashley Oliver, 1-27-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Teresa Mull, 1-21-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Frank Salvato, 2-4-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Officer Sicknick was not beaten with a fire extinguisher.

Why does the media continue to lie?

2-2-21

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

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

HOW DID OFFICER BRIAN SICKNICK DIE?

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

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

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

The Democratic Party.

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

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

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

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

This from CNN:

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

by Evan Perez, 2-2-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’ll summarize up front:

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

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

“Deeds, not words.”

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

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

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

Heretic! Apostate! Fanatic! Disbeliever! Zealot!

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

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

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

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

Nope. No more. Never again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These Are The 10 Republicans Who Voted To Impeach Trump

by Domenico Montanaro, NPR, 1-14-21

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

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

Who are the 10?

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

Remember their names. You’ll see them again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hold that thought about Liz Cheney.

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

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

Conveniently, no one remembers this from Leftists.

This from former AG Loretta Lynch.

This is peaceful also.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why? Five things. Fear for loss of:

  • Power
  • Control
  • Money
  • Prestige
  • Access

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

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

by Joseph Wulfsohn, 1-31-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then this.

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

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

Liz Cheney Censured by Republican Parties in 10 Wyoming Counties

by Joshua Caplan, 2-2-21

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

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

The resolution continued:

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

But here is another major clue.

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

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

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

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

by Grace Panetta, 1-19-21

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

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

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

Message received. I got it. Did you?

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

Ted Cruz Recycles Election Fraud Claims Already Rejected by the Courts

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

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

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

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

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

by Jim Hoft, 1-31-21

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

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

Pick up the video at 16:50.

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

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

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

SCGOP passes resolution to censure Rep. Rice over impeachment vote

WWBF News, 1-30-21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because this next name should sound familiar. Again.

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

by Hope Yen, AP, 1-31-21

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

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

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

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

That’s right. You have to be crushed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because we need more of Liz Cheney.

Mitch McConnell rears his OSEGOP head again.

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

by AP, 2-1-21

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

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

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

Message received. I got it. Did you?

Then the RNC chair weighed in.

RNC chairwoman expresses regret over Giuliani news conference

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

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

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

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

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

And finally, Lindsey Graham sets the course.

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

by Joe Hoft, 2-2-21

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

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

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

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

Read that again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consent, by definition, denotes that it can removed.

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

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

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

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

Those are the Demorats.

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

I’m done with Republicans.

Eight days into the Biden Administration

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.

It’s now abundantly clear that Biden is also going to stack the proverbial court.

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’t lawyers 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.

This is just one story.

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.

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.

Even the CDC recently weighed in on children in schools.

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 TimesThe 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.

So what happened?

The GameStop stock frenzy, explained

by Emily Stewart, 1-28-21

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.

ImageLet’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.

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.

Except, 35-feet from the nation’s capitol, there exists reality.

‘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.

This couldn’t be MORE political.

DHS uses federal alert system for 1st time in a year to warn of domestic terrorist threat

by Mike Levine, 1-27-21

“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.

None of this, however, is helped by idiots who write stories like this.

US Military at the White House Arresting Congress

Before It’s News, 1-27-21

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?

The following is from the SunSentinel.

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.

This is the same Tulsi Gabbard who also said:

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.

So let’s bottom line it. What’s really going on?

You know the answer. It’s a fight for money, power and control.

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.

They are frightened.

They are frightened of YOU.
