There is a difference between standing up for something, and running away from something. Standing up for something requires courage.
The face of the Democrat party
Running away from something which is what you’re doing now is the act of a petulant child who can’t get what they want.
The law (you remember the law, don’t you, Democrat lawmakers?)…the law says that you are supposed to be in the chamber at the appointed time voting as you will. You’re not obeying the law. Tell me, on what basis should anyone take any law that you pass, seriously?
Of course those Democrat lawmakers who aren’t obeying the law are now down in DC trying to get a federal voting act passed which of course is unconstitutional since the Constitution itself lays out that the state legislatures are responsible for such.
The truth is thereal objection to the voting law put forward in Texas is not that it makes it harder for minorities to vote but that it makes it nearly impossible for Democrats to cheat. And Democrats know that they can’t afford to lose that illicit advantage.
I’ve seen these discussions before, and Fox news this morning came up with a similar case, we’re a business had a couple of American flags on flagpoles out front. The local Democrat administration decided that those flights didn’t need to be there. So they hauled the owners backsid to court.
In this particular case, the comment was to the effect of ‘it’s disgusting, the owner is using the American flag as a prop to drum up business.” And other such nonsense.
Even taking that complaint on face value, I fail to understand what’s wrong with that. The owner is expressing a particular point of view and he’s hoping to attract business customers who share that point of view.
I’m forced to conclude that people who believe in America first, congregating, spending money, and communicating with each other these ideas expressed by that flag out front is what the real problem is.Apparently anyone who dares to show any degree of patriotism is a target to these people..
Let’s remember Democrat party conventions, where there was no sign of an American flag anywhere. Let’s remember soccer players, and ball players, who publicly demonstrate pagainst the American flag. All Democrats of course.
So the question becomes, at what point did the use of law and governmental power for the pursuit of one’s own political agenda become acceptable?
Yesterday morning, I noted in passing that the 6th cup from the DC Police department involved with the supposed riots at the Capitol building has committed suicide. Six of them.
Now of course there seems to be some conflict about that, and the reports are suggesting four, not six. Well, okay, we’ll go with four for the moment.
Were they in fact suicides or was this a case of a Hillary Clinton special?
Given the history of the thing and the efforts on the part of the Democrats to control the narrative, it would be unreasonable not to ask that question.
As time allows, I’m looking into why they conflict in the number of reported suicides. But the numbers alone suggest that there’s something major going on here. I mean, at what point is the threshold of suspicion that these are not suicides? Two? Four? Six? 29?
Well, so says the New York Times anyway…
President Biden called on Tuesday for the resignation of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York after the state’s attorney general found that Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat, had sexually harassed multiple women.
First of all, the prospect of Uncle Creepy calling for anyone’s resignation over sexual harassment charges has got to be the political irony of the year. It’s also our first indication that something is amiss here, that this is both more and less than the Democrats would have us believe.
I mean, let’s be straight up about this. If the Democrats gave a damn about sexual harassment, Joe Biden would definitely not have been their choice for president under any circumstances whatsoever. He certainly wouldn’t have been dragged through the primary by whatever means the Democrats managed to put together.
It must be pointed out that in the comparison between the crimes of Cuomo and Biden, the women that Andrew Cuomo supposedly harassed were at least of legal age…
And in the case of Cuomo, there is a lack of photographic evidence. The guy’s an idiot, but he’s that smart anyway. With Biden there was copious photographic evidence, that we have all seen.
In short, on that comparison alone, the Democrats have a serious credibility issue on their hands.
Thing is, there’s far more than this.
Long time readers of this website will remember that I have repeatedly made reference to the fact that Democrats frequently use sexual harassment charges to eliminate problematic people from the political scene. Generally speaking, they are reluctant to use such weaponry against individuals who are large within the party or within whatever movement the Democrats are currently attaching themselves to.
But, you will recall Gary Hart, Jim Trafficant, and Bill Cosby to name a few.
Then again, there is the large number of Republicans they’ve tried it with. Justice Thomas, Justice Cavanaugh, Donald Trump… Laughably they even tried it with Mike Pence. (Talk about your jump the shark moment!)
And yes there is also the practice of simply eliminating people who become inconvenient to the cause. Does the name Epstein ring any bells? Vince Foster? (And how about those six, yes, count them, six DC police officers who were involved in the supposed riot in the Capitol building on the 6th of January? Six of them have now committed suicide, and that seems to stretch credulity just a little… (Update, there seems to be a little bit of a conflict here. Four seems to be the accepted number and I’m looking into why there’s a variance.) I guess they won’t be testifying in Nancy Pelosi’s little soiree…but I’ll get to that in the next article.)
Is Andrew Cuomo a sexual harasser? I’ll come right out and say it.. I have no doubt in my mind that he is….but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the target that now seems to be installed on Cuomo’s back.
Given the history of when Democrats bring these charges, one must needs wonder what else is going on here. Taking Democrats at face value is always a questionable proposition, after all. What is really going on here?
Cuomo has made no secret of his presidential ambitions, so is it Cuomo presidency not exactly in the plans of the powers that be within the Democrat party or within the Chinese Communist party?
If he succeeded in making it through the primary process to the general election, it’s a subject that most certainly would have come up, (the Republicans would have to be even bigger fools than I take them before if they didn’t bring it up…) to the effect of defeating any attempt at the White House by Cuomo. Not exactly conducive to Democrat party plans for permanent power
Could this be a method of getting Cuomo out of the way, as regards the number of nursing home deaths caused by policies initiated by Cuomo? Certainly, if the matter ever went to trial it would be damaging to the Democrats regardless of how the trial itself came out. And in such a trial other names will be certainly dragged in.
And isn’t it odd how quickly this report came out after Joe Biden’s DOJ made public that they weren’t going to prosecute Cuomo for those nursing home deaths? In short, disappear, Fredo, and you won’t go to jail.
It’s my thought that that’s where all this is going. Andrew Cuomo behind bars? Certainly deserved, but with politics in Washington being what they are it’ll never happen.
No he’ll be quietly pushed out of office on what the Democrats would have otherwise considered a bimbo eruption, never to be heard from in political circles again.
The fact is covid-19 was developed with United States NIH money in Wuhan China.
And of course it’s just coincidence that this virus was released into the wild within days of Donald Trump the White House.
Kurt Schlichter is close on this one, but I’m afraid he underestimates the situation.
But trust is earned, and these people act like it is their right to have our trust, that we owe them to take it on faith that whatever these people say is the Gospel. Except they are wrong all the time, and instead of owning up to it, they treat you like some sort of idiot for noticing. When you don’t trust people who are perpetually wrong, that’s not denying science. That is science – you are making observations, and drawing reasonable conclusions. In this case, the observation is that our establishment sucks, and that it can’t be trusted.
How far would a little humility gone? Very far. Imagine, and this will be hard, these masterminds getting up and saying, “America, we were wrong about something. We thought it was right, but we tested it and we found we were not right. Here is the data, and now that we have better information, we are changing our recommendation.”
What would we say? “Oh, okay. They were doing the best they can and being straight with us. People make mistakes. We need to learn from them. After all, it’s been a century since the last pandemic so we have a lot of lessons to re-learn. Let’s move forward.”
But no. No, there’s no humility. They make a mistake and they don’t stand up and admit it. Instead, they just change the narrative and act as if the narrative du jour was always the narrative. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. But we’re not blind or stupid for noticing.
They tell us the vaccine is going to make us immune from COVID. Then it turns out you can still get it, just not as bad. Yet when people notice this 180-degree spin, the smart set shrieks like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Just imagine if they had been honest and forthright. But that was not in the cards. The ruling caste’s conceit is that we are idiots, unable and unworthy to make simple decisions for ourselves. We must be guided, nudged, or intimidated, if ..necessary, into making the right choice. And we do not deserve explanations, because the last thing our elite wants is accountability.
Instead, they want unlimited power.
Ummm… Kurt?
Of course they want unlimited power. This was and always has been about defeating Donald Trump… About reestablishing and maintaining permanent Democrat party power.
Remember first of all, that when government runs Health Care, every healthcare decision is a political one. There’s no other way for that to fall out. Democrats have always understood this which is precisely why they pushed so hard for the government takeover of healthcare.
We now know that Facci was lying to us, this was no mistake, this was a flat-out lie, when he said that he was not funding gain of function research at Wuhan. His theatrically vehement denials simply don’t hold up to his own definition.
And how is it that he knew just two days after Donald Trump’s election, that Mr Trump would face a pandemic? If he knew two days after the election, why is he didn’t know two days before, particularly since Fauci was funding that research?
It’s difficult not to draw the conclusion that Dr Fauci along with the remains of the Obama administration decided to get together and release the kraken. After all they had a common enemy in Donald Trump. What better way to defeat him after the fact?
Again, these are not healthcare choices, these are political choices.
And if you think they’re alone in this, think again.
Remember the nursing home deaths in New York as an example… Sending infected patients to nursing homes where covid-19 could be spread among older people (who would only vote Republican anyway,) instead of sending them to temporary hospitals which were provided by Mr Trump’s Presidential edict, simply because the Democrats didn’t want Donald Trump getting any credit for putting a handle on this. Or perhaps just as likely because they didn’t want to get a handle on this. The illness being in the wild was their ticket to power either way.
And yes I’m fully aware of the level of evil required. But I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats.
Actual conversation that I had with the CDC this morning
ME: CDC, should I get poke if I already had Covid?
CDC: “Yes, you should be poked regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19.”
ME: Oh, okay, we don’t know how long natural immunity lasts. Got it. So, how long does poke-induced immunity last?
CDC: “There is still a lot we are learning about COVID-19 pokes and CDC is constantly reviewing evidence and updating guidance. We don’t know how long protection lasts for those who are poked.”
ME: Okay … but wait a second. I thought you said the reason I need the poke was because we don’t know how long my natural immunity lasts, but it seems like you’re saying we ALSO don’t know how long poke immunity lasts either. So, how exactly is the poke immunity better than my natural immunity?
CDC: …
ME: Uh … alright. But, haven’t there been a bunch of studies suggesting that natural immunity could last for years or decades?
CDC: Yes.
NEWYORKTIMES: “Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study.”
ME: Ah. So natural immunity might last longer than poke immunity?
CDC: Possibly. You never know.
ME: Okay. If I get the poke, does that mean I won’t get sick?
BRITAIN: Nope. We are just now entering a seasonal spike and about half of our infections and hospital admissions are poked people.
ME: CDC, is this true? Are there a lot of people in the U.S. catching Covid after getting the poke?
CDC: We stopped tracking breakthrough cases. We accept voluntary reports of breakthroughs but aren’t out there looking for them.
ME: Does that mean that if someone comes in the hospital with Covid, you don’t track them because they’ve been poked? You only track the UN-poked Covid cases?
CDC: That’s right.
ME: Oh, okay. Hmm. Well, if I can still get sick after I get the poke, how is it helping me?
CDC: We never said you wouldn’t get sick. We said it would reduce your chances of serious illness or death.
ME: Oh, sorry. Alright, exactly how much does it reduce my chance of serious illness or death.
CDC: We don’t know “exactly.”
ME: Oh. Then what’s your best estimate for how much risk reduction there is?
CDC: We don’t know, okay? Next question.
ME: Um, if I’m healthy and don’t want the poke, is there any reason I should get it?
CDC: Yes, for the collective.
ME: How does the collective benefit from me getting poked?
CDC: Because you could spread the virus to someone else who might get sick and die.
ME: Can a poked person spread the virus to someone else?
CDC: Yes.
ME: So if I get poked, I could still spread the virus to someone else?
CDC: Yes.
ME: But I thought you just said, the REASON I should get poked was to prevent me spreading the virus? How does that make sense if I can still catch Covid and spread it after getting the poke?
CDC: Never mind that. The other thing is, if you stay unpoked, there’s a chance the virus could possibly mutate into a strain that escapes the pokes protection, putting all poked people at risk.
ME: So the poke stops the virus from mutating?
CDC: No.
ME: So it can still mutate in poked people?
CDC: Yes.
ME: This seems confusing. If the poke doesn’t stop mutations, and it doesn’t stop infections, then how does me getting poked help prevent a more deadly strain from evolving to escape the poke?
CDC: You aren’t listening, okay? The bottom line is: as long as you are unpoked, you pose a threat to poked people.
ME: But what KIND of threat??
CDC: The threat that they could get a serious case of Covid and possibly die.
ME: My brain hurts. Didn’t you JUST say that the poke doesn’t keep people from catching Covid, but prevents a serious case or dying? Now it seems like you’re saying poked people can still easily die from Covid even after they got the poke just by running into an unpoked person! Which is it??
CDC: That’s it, we’re hanging up now.
ME: Wait! I just want to make sure I understand all this. So, even if I ALREADY had Covid, I should STILL get poked, because we don’t know how long natural immunity lasts, and we also don’t know how long poke immunity lasts. And I should get the poke to keep a poked person from catching Covid from me, but even if I get the poke, I can give it to the poked person anyways. And, the other poked person can still easily catch a serious case of Covid from me and die. Do I have all that right?
ME: Um, hello? Is anyone there?
For those of you who don’t know, the Cuban government is currently engaged in jamming amateur radio frequencies at the bottom end of the 40 m band. Purpose, to eliminate the ability of the Cuban people to send messages outside of Cuba. This is related to the anti-government protests that we have been hearing about over the last few months.
The condemnation from around the world has been uniform, if a little weak.
But consider this.. we had an admission from the White House a few weeks ago that they are collaborating with big tech, Facebook, Youtube, Google, Twitter, etc… as to what is and is not “appropriate content”.
So in other words, they’ve got big tech acting as agents of the government to silence the people which is a clear violation of the first amendment.
I suggest that the actions of our own federal government in this matter is barely distinguishable from the Cuban government in silencing its own people on the radio.
The Biden administration along with the Cuban government are showing their totalitarian chops.
How in the world can we attack Cuba for its anti-freedom actions and not attack the Biden administration for doing precisely the same thing?
And you know, that may explain the weakness of the response from governments around the world including our own.
Reader Norm Turner looks at this and points out:
Unfortunately the transformation of the USA to Obama’s Socialist Dream is almost complete. If there are any freedom loving members of our government they need to show up and make a stand.
Republican members of Congress were not allowed to see the conditions that the January 6 detainees are enduring. They held a big news conference saying that they wouldn’t stop fighting for the truth, but, I haven’t heard about any legal action to force government compliance. Just bloviating and disappear. I am sick of it.
Valid points, all. And I suggest that the tactics being used in that farce “hearing” are also precisely what you would expect from the Cuban government or the Russians or the Chinese. Or any other totalitarian government, for that matter. It always ends up being the same way as Harry Truman observed:
Small Wonder that the Democratic party hardly mentions Harry Truman anymore and if they do, it’s disparagingly.
I’ll leave you with a thought… What’s driving all this is fear. The respective governments are fearful of the people they supposedly represent… A phrase which is these days only marginally less laughable in Cuba than it is here in these formerly United States.
These tactics only get used by totalitarian governments when the lies no longer have any hold on the mindset of the people.
Now, about those masks… Along the same lines, we are going to hear about a new variant of covid-19 every time the people stop being afraid.
Now here is somebody I can get behind:

We’ve been warning about this for two decades now…
If Blue State elitism continues to attack America’s Constitutional order even as it turns the Federal government against those remaining states who oppose this aggression, Civil War II will certainly erupt.
And the thing is, the Democrats know this as well. Which is precisely why it was arranged for antifa operatives to dress up as Trump supporters on January 6th, as I mentioned earlier today.
The unrest in DC, like the unrest in Charlottesville before it was set up primarily to cast anyone to the right of Fidel Castro in an evil light. That’s why there’s never been any serious investigation into the left activities in Charlottesville and now we see that there isn’t going to be any serious investigation into DC either with the little show hearing that Nancy Pelosi is insisting on. The actual truth of the matter would not support the leftist narrative.
It’s time to wake up America..
Leftards keep telling us that free speech is violence. I don’t agree. However I have to have some degree of sympathy for a target of libtarded hate speech, to take the left at their word, such as it is. Video, from Andy Ngo (language, violence):
I am looking forward for a response from a black community leader, say the Reverend Al Sharpton or President Forty Four.
An article in the Daily Signal today…
The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Chris Coons, D-Del., raised a series of questions about the FBI’s handling of its sexual misconduct probe into Kavanaugh in response to a letter the bureau sent them in June. They expressed particular concern that the FBI had received more than 4,500 tips and shared ones deemed “relevant” with former President Donald Trump’s White House.
Well, since the FBI comes under the executive branch, why in the world wouldn’t they keep the president informed?
Meantime, what investigations are the Democrats quashing?
In a disappointing yet unsurprising development, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department has formally declined to investigate the nursing home policies in three states with Democrat governors that resulted in thousands of elderly citizens dying from COVID-19.
What we have here is about as solid an indication that the Democrats are controlled by the communist Chinese as you’re ever going to get.
