Brandon Not A Fan Of Lifting Masking Rules

By William Teach February 14, 2022 – 10:30 am

This is the same guy who’s been caught not wearing a mask inside, who sometimes wears one sometimes doesn’t outside, doesn’t castigate Jen Psaki or others who are speaking inside while not wearing a mask in contradiction to his executive order

Biden acknowledges frustration with Covid rules, but says lifting mask mandates is ‘premature.’

President Biden responded to American frustration with pandemic restrictions, saying that it was still too soon to lift indoor mask mandates, while suggesting that other restrictions may soon be able to end.

In the roughly 22-minute interview, some of which was previewed before Sunday, Mr. Biden said that decisions by some state governors last week to begin lifting indoor mask mandates were “probably premature,” but acknowledged that it was a “tough call.”

Most mandates will not expire immediately, though some, like Nevada’s, did. New York’s requirement that businesses ask customers for proof of vaccination or require mask wearing expired on Thursday.

A CBS poll taken last week found that a majority of Americans still support mask mandates, including in schools, but that many are exhausted and frustrated by the pandemic. Public health experts agree that mask requirements in schools should not last forever, but some experts say that lifting school mask mandates too early could jeopardize the progress made over the last few weeks as cases declined.

Is anyone in the news asking a rather relevant question, namely, if masks work so well, why was there this huge spike of Delta, and one of Omicron? They’re saying that masks are ending the Omicron, but, Omicron still happened despite masks.

Lester Holt, who hosted the NBC interview with Mr. Biden, said that many of the people in the audience of this year’s Super Bowl would not be wearing masks, in violation of local law in Inglewood, Calif.

“I love how people talk about personal freedom,” Mr. Biden said in response. “If your exercising personal freedom puts someone else in jeopardy, their health in jeopardy. I don’t consider that being very dealing with freedom.”

Said interview was inside, and, while Holt and Brandon were nicely distanced, neither is wearing a mask. But, Brandon wants you to wear a mask inside. And, no, he doesn’t like people having personal freedom.

There are lots and lots of photos and video of celebs and politicians not wearing masks, which is fine for them, because they aren’t school kids who have to wear them all day in LA public schools, right?

While there’s no school or city wide mask mandate in his city, there is one for being in government buildings.

Your Fault: Winter Storms Caused By Heat Trapping Gases (part lots)

By William Teach February 14, 2022 – 7:00 am

The climate cult just won’t give up

How extreme winter storms are connected to climate change and hurting businesses

The second powerful winter storm of 2022 hit a large swath of the country in early February. It dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of New York and New England, brought a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow to our region, and frigid conditions all the way to Texas.

The storm impacted all kinds of businesses, like ProSource of Akron, Ohio, which sells wholesale flooring.

“The largest thing for us was our deliveries. People just don’t run a lot of semi-trucks when it’s storming like that,” said store manager John Reinart.

Business at ProSource slowed way down. Deliveries got pushed into the next week, few customers visited the showroom, and employees couldn’t get to work one morning. “This has been crazy,” Reinart said. “I’m turning 30 in April, and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

You wouldn’t be surprised that this comes from government funded NPR, would you?

Several cities in the Northeastern US have seen record-setting snow in recent years.

It might seem contradictory to think that “global warming” will create historic snowfalls. But not to Jessica Spaccio, a climatologist with the Northeast Regional Climate Center,  managed by NOAA.

“We’re seeing not just even warming. What we’re seeing [is] more extreme events and changes and variability in our weather,” she said.

Does this mean there was no snow during the Little Ice Age? That the last glacial age was super warm? Anyhow, the piece continues to attempt to Justify the cult beliefs that cold and heavy snow is caused by carbon pollution.

Michigan ski resort chiefs call for climate action, reduce own emissions

Leaders at two up north ski resorts recently called for faster climate action – even federal carbon taxes – to stave off the effects of the escalating climate crisis on Michigan’s signature four seasons.

Chief executives at both Crystal Mountain and Boyne Mountain resorts in northern Lower Michigan said sustainability efforts at the all-seasons resorts may help offset their operational carbon footprints, but argued bigger, systems-wide actions are needed to prevent an irreparable intensification of the effects of climate change – effects that will impact not just resort operations, but everyone on the planet.

They could start by giving up the use of fossil fuels to heat, run, and maintain the resorts, and tell all skiers they are not allowed to arrive in fossil fueled vehicles. Let’s see how that goes.

New Zealand, Australia Have Their Own Anti-Mandate Protests

By William Teach February 14, 2022 – 6:45 am

Australia has seen protests before, but, they were quickly squashed by over-zealous, violent policing. Looks like the Freedom Truckers movement is spreading. People are no longer cowed by government

New Zealand plays Barry Manilow to repel parliament protesters

Authorities in New Zealand have been playing Barry Manilow’s greatest hits in an attempt to dislodge protesters camped outside the parliament building.

Songs by the US singer are being played on a 15-minute loop, along with the Spanish dance tune, Macarena.

The demonstrators, who are angry at Covid-19 vaccine mandates, responded by playing songs such as Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It.

The protests began on Tuesday when a convoy of vehicles drove to parliament.

Inspired by large rallies against vaccine mandates in Canada, hundreds of protesters arrived in the capital, Wellington, to rally against Covid restrictions.

They adopted the name “Convoy for Freedom” and blocked streets in the city.

The Powers That Be do not like the servants daring to protest against government authority, hence, they’re trying to force them out. And, have arrested many for peaceably protesting.

Tactics used by the authorities to try and get rid of the protesters involved turning on the water sprinklers on the lawn where they were camped on Friday.

But protesters retaliated by digging trenches and building makeshift drainpipes to re-route the water, the Associated Press news agency reports.

New Zealanders might have been beaten down during the pandemic, because they rather had no choice. Many are no longer willing to take it.

Australian police urge protesters to leave capital

Australian police have given thousands of protesters until the end of Sunday to leave occupied areas of the country’s capital, as days-long rallies continue against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Several thousand protesters remained in place at Canberra’s major showgrounds, while fewer than 100 demonstrators were gathered near the federal parliament building, an Australian Capital Territory (ACT) police spokesperson told Reuters.

No protesters in Canberra had been arrested so far on Sunday after three were detained on Saturday.

“They must be out by today,” the police spokesperson said, declining to say what action authorities would take if protesters refused to comply with demands to leave.

So far, they aren’t leaving. How dare the peasants refuse to Comply with their masters!

Clinton Campaign Paid For Operation To Link Trump To Russia

By William Teach February 13, 2022 – 9:16 am

Unsurprisingly, you won’t find this information at the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CBS News, NBC News, or ABC News, nor almost any non-Republican outlet

Clinton campaign paid to ‘infiltrate’ Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia: Durham

First on Fox: Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an “inference” and “narrative” to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham says.

Durham filed a motion on Feb. 11 focused on potential conflicts of interest related to the representation of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussman has pleaded not guilty.

The indictment against Sussman says he told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, less than two months before the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work “for any client” when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented “purported data and ‘white papers’ that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel” between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.

But Durham’s filing on Feb. 11, in a section titled “Factual Background,” reveals that Sussman “had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including a technology executive (Tech Executive 1) at a U.S.-based internet company (Internet Company 1) and the Clinton campaign.”

It gets really convoluted and detailed after that, how these various people and groups were paid by the Clinton campaign. Here’s how the NY Post puts it, in simplifying the Fox News report

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia, a bombshell new legal filing alleges.

The Friday filing from a Department of Justice prosecutor tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI’s Russian probe served to throw cold water on Democrats’ longstanding allegations of collusion.

Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion related to potential conflicts of interests in connection with the case of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who is charged with lying to the feds, according to Fox News.

This is rather big news, isn’t it? That the Clinton campaign was paying to manufacture those links between Trump, his campaign, and Russia. I mean, those who live in the real world new this was all campaign dirty tricks, some of the dirtiest of all time, yet, the media simply ran with it, never caring to investigate. Nor do they care now, as the only other outlet interested in this is the UK Daily Mail.

Brandon’s Super Excited To Buy 600K EVs For Federal Workers!

By William Teach February 12, 2022 – 2:35 pm

This is totally to help out with ‘climate change’!

When will Biden be switching his big limo and SUV motorcade out for EVs?

(CNBC) The administration has previously proposed an EV incentive package that would allocate additional money for consumers who bought electric vehicles built by unionized workers. The administration has also committed to replace its federal fleet of 600,000 cars and trucks to electric power by 2035.

“This announcement demonstrates that clean energy investments deliver for America,” Elizabeth Gore, senior vice president of political affairs at the Environmental Defense Fund, said in a statement.

Where is the power coming from to charge them? Who’s paying for these vehicles that are way more expensive than the existing fleet? What happens to the vehicles that still work? Aren’t you glad your taxes will pay for this, despite never having had a legislative vote on it? Under what authority is this occuring? Meanwhile, your cost of living is skyrocketing, and Biden’s taking fossil fueled trips to Camp David to live it up.

“Experts” Say Chance To End Freedom Truckers Peacefully Is “Slipping Away”

By William Teach February 12, 2022 – 10:30 am

Who, exactly, is going to bring violence?

Opportunity to end convoy protest peacefully is slipping away, experts say

As the protest against vaccine mandates heads into its third weekend in Ottawa and spreads to border towns, observers say the window for ending it peacefully is closing.

On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a state of emergency as protest blockades continued to shut down parts of Ottawa’s downtown core and portions of Windsor’s Ambassador Bridge — a key cross-border supply route.

The move is largely administrative and gives Ford the power to bring in new orders to punish those who block and impede the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure.

Jack Rozdilsky, an associate professor of disaster and emergency management at York University, said there are still ways to obtain a peaceful end to the crisis.

But “every day longer this goes on, it moves in a more dangerous direction where, essentially, it’ll reach the point where  the hand of authority is forced,” he said.

In other words, people who are protesting peacefully, as their Right per Canada’s Constitution, down in the Charter Of Rights And Freedoms. The experts are blaming the protesters if Government violence is used to end their peaceful protest. Hey, sorry about the honking, blocked streets, and bounce houses, you must be put down.

Trudeau also seems to be threatening them

(Breitbart) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Canadian trucker protesters, “you are breaking laws,” as the Freedom Convoy has created a blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a key shipping route for U.S.-Canada trade.

Trudeau said the protesters are seeking to take the economy hostage. He made a distinction between the truckers and those who are fatigued with his onerous public health mandates, even though the protests started due to Trudeau’s mandates.

“I want to make something very clear,” Trudeau told reporters on Friday. “The illegal blockades seeking to take our neighborhoods and our economy hostage and the collective COVID fatigue we are facing are two very separate things.”

“If you joined the protests because you’re tired of COVID you now need to understand you are breaking laws. The consequences are becoming more and more severe,” he warned. “You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the U.S.”

Punished for protesting? Do these Elites even read their Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

Same Politicians Who Held Us Under Lockdown For 2 Years, Now Trying To Blame Truckers For Messing With Citizens Lives

Like a scalded cat, former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Gerald Michael Butts went running off to the bottom of the trash heap in a pathetic attempt to save his longtime protege, the worst prime minister in Canadian history, in a CNN interview.

“As the former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Butts was praised as the architect behind the Liberal Party of Canada platform that led to their victory in October of 2015 and was one of the most senior staffers in the Office of the Prime Minister, along with Katie Telford.” (Wikipedia)

In hurling outrageous insults at Canadian Truckers and their supporters, Butts sounds exactly like his former boss: “It’s really important that we’re getting to a point in the pandemic where we’ll be able to open up again largely because Canadians have been doing their civic duty and not because of a lawless mob in in downtown Ottawa,” Butts said in a Wednesday CNN interview.

None of these same politicians really had a problem with the BLM protests in Canada, many of which turned violence (shocker), like in Montreal and Ottawa. But, going against the truckers is the same playbooks the Powers That Be used against those initially protesting COVID restrictions, calling non-violent protests “dangerous”.

You know how to end this? Remove the requirement that cross border truckers be vaccinated. If truckers want to take the chance in their own lives, let them.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Attempt To Force ‘Climate Change’ Into Rulemaking

By William Teach February 12, 2022 – 7:00 am

It’s a good thing Biden never really put his law degree to work, because, he sure loses a lot in court

US judge strikes down Biden climate damage cost estimate

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to put greater emphasis on potential damage from greenhouse gas emissions when creating rules for polluting industries.

U.S. District Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana sided with Republican attorneys general from energy producing states who said the administration’s action to raise the cost estimate of carbon emissions threatened to drive up energy costs while decreasing state revenues from energy production.

The judge issued an injunction that bars the Biden administration from using the higher cost estimate, which puts a dollar value on damages caused by every additional ton of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

President Joe Biden on his first day in office restored the climate cost estimate to about $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions after the Trump administration had reduced the figure to about $7 or less per ton. Former President Donald Trump’s estimate included only damages felt in the U.S. versus the global damages captured in higher estimates that were previously used under the Obama administration.

The estimate would be used to shape future rules for oil and gas drilling, automobiles, and other industries. Using a higher cost estimate would help justify reductions in planet-warming emissions, by making the benefits more likely to outweigh the expenses of complying with new rules.

This is the idiotic “social cost of carbon” BS that Obama tried, and got shot down, and would mean much higher costs for energy, which would raise the cost of everything. Rich folks like Biden wouldn’t be impacted, but, the middle and lower classes would feel the pain.

Republican attorneys general led by Louisiana’s Jeff Landry said the Biden administration’s revival of the higher estimate was illegal and exceeded its authority by basing the figure on global considerations. The other states whose officials sued are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Well, it’s dead at the moment, let’s see if the Biden DOJ tries to fight back and win in a higher court. Because they really do not care about you people.
