“As he continues to send everyday Californians back into lockdown over Wuhan coronavirus, Governor Gavin Newsom is still facing heavy criticism for breaking the rules he’s imposing on everybody else.
As Juliowrote earlier, photos have surfaced of Newsom having dinner at an indoor, swanky and upscale restaurant in Napa Valley. Keep in mind Newsom shut down wineries and tasting rooms for much for the year. He’s also warned against family gatherings for Thanksgiving.
But it’s who he was with that makes the situation even worse. Newsom was dining with California Medical Association lobbyists.
…All credibility from the “experts” and hypocritical politicians has been lost. And for good reason.“
Tucker goes into greater detail why so many Americans don’t believe a word these hypocrites say about the Wuhan virus…or anything else, including election results:
And why, come next week, we’ll be enjoying our usual family Thanksgiving extravaganza.
Next, Best of the Web‘s Jim Freeman indelicately wonders…
“President Trump’s decision to fire Christopher Krebs from his position at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as its director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been met with widespread criticism.
Critics say the firing was in retaliation for CISA releasing a joint statement made by multiple election agencies saying the past presidential election was the “most secure in American history.”
“Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,” the statement read. “When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
This was wrong for Krebs to do, according to a DHS official, because addressing allegations of voter fraud from within the United States is not in CISA’s jurisdiction.
“CISA was successful in preventing election interference via a cyberattack on election infrastructure during the presidential election.Election fraud is different than election interference and is beyond the scope of CISA authorities,” the DHS official told Townhall. “CISA does not have firsthand information on allegations of voting fraud or investigate such claims, responsibility for which lies with State and local authorities and the Department of Justice.”…”
In other words, Krebs had no authority to make such a statement, nor did he have any factual basis for making same…just as we noted when his statement was first released.
Speaking of things requiring a total suspension of disbelief, courtesy of The American Spectator via Jeff Foutch, David Catron lists…
“…In the end, to accept Joe Biden as our legitimate Chief Executive, we must believe the voters hammered the Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, yet decided to elect the “leader” of their party president.(Not to mention Kamala Harris as his soon-to-be successor!) We must believe that he dramatically underperformed among minority voters, yet received 10 million more votes than Barack Obama. We must believe that virtually all of the reliable election bellwethers were wrong. We must believe that all of the elections in the swing states were conducted honestly and that the Venezuelan software used to tabulate the votes was secure. All of this beggars belief. Joe Biden may be inaugurated in January, but he certainly wasn’t elected president.“
In other words, though not impossible, the odds approach those of us winning consecutive 9-figure Powerball draws.
Turning from the impossibly improbable to the probably possible, Speed Mach forwarded this intriguing opinion piece at Capitalist Exploits which explains…
“Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock or meditating in a Buddhist Nepalese mountain retreat nourishing yourself with nothing but water, lettuce (which is just edible water) and positive thoughts for the last few years, you’ll no doubt have been made aware, whether you like it or not, of the dire problems we all face.
Setting aside the first topic, which is at this point now plainly evident to anyone that cares to do some simple math or look at actual mortality rates, a colossal overreaction, we can safely categorise the balance into what the corporate world calls “ESG”.
Environmental, Social & Governance.
This idea, like so many ill-thought manias of our present day, was first led by over-indebted social sciences majors who derive inner joy from controlling other people.
But it’s notthese fanatics that you should worry about. It is the folks in positions of power…the politicians, CEOs, management boards and trustees, who are too afraid to suggest that the king indeed is stark-bollock-naked.
Leaders these days are like the parents you see that cave to every fleeting whim of their child, terrified of disappointing their little angel (who is in mid-tantrum) and beingseen to be a bad parent.
Instead of steering clear of social justice issues, or refraining from providing views on the impossibly complex system of our environment, and focussing instead on…I don’t know, maybe providing goods and services to the world…they go “all in” on any, and every virtue-signaling opportunity they come across. Not because they believe it, but because of what happens if they don’t.
The problem for most, who recognise the inherent cognitive dissonance, is that in even questioning it, they risk facing the wrath of their colleagues, partners, friends, and needing to explain to their husbands or wives why it is they lost their jobs…and so instead of speaking their minds, they mutter and nod their heads passively in agreement. I get it, their incomes depend on it – at least in the short term.
A bigger problem is that – like any parent who allows their child to become a miniature tyrant – their position depend on more extreme concessions in the long run. And a bigger problem still – i.e. where all this leads – is dooming themselves and the next generation to the sort of shortages and hardships that previously only existed for them on the History Channel doco’s about the former USSR.
By the time they finally realise this, the loss of their jobs will likely be the least of their worries, because shutting up and continuing down this path is put quite simply…Communism…”
And with Kamala Harris poised to finish the work Barack Hussein started just as soon as Biden’s corruption or dementia forces his removal from office, Communism is a greater threat to America than ever before.
