Government Grinches waiting in the wings

 White House in Full Crisis Mode Over the Fate of Christmas  "If Joe Biden had been asked to create a scenario where he was 100 percent guaranteed to lose his re-election bid, the supply-chain crisis would top the list.

"Even though it’s still nearly three years to Election Day, a ruined Christmas is the kind of catastrophe that the American people will never forget — or forgive.

"It may not be entirely Joe Biden’s fault. This is, after all, a global economy, and what happens in many other nations impacts the U.S. in different ways. But Biden’s nameplate is on the door to the room at the White House that says “Boss.” He will be blamed because that’s the way the game has been played for more than 230 years and it’s pretty late in the game to pretend otherwise.

"The steps Biden is taking to try and head off a complete political catastrophe are more for show than a genuine effort to mitigate the problem. Indeed, aside from jawboning, there isn’t much the president can do."...

Will Ron DeSantis Save Christmas?  "The media has been very busy issuing warnings to American consumers of late. CNN told us to get ready for emptier shelves. News outlets suggested shopping early for Christmas to avoid shortages. Pictures of dozens of container ships off the West Coast that are not allowed to dock have gone viral.  

"What can a concerned consumer do? Head to Florida.". . . 

. . . "As a couple of astute articles explain, the problem is that California has passed two laws—one for “climate change” and the other as a sop to the unions—that destroyed much of California’s trucking industry.

"Add in woes unique to the industry and COVID payments that discourage people from working and...voila!...empty Christmas stockings.

"Stephen Green, at PJ Media, explains some of what’s going on.". . . 

But of course, the more serious underlying problem is that, in a distant, wonderful past, America didn’t need to rely on containers from Asia to fill her store shelves and Christmas stockings. America was a manufacturing dynamo that fulfilled American needs and still had enough left over for the rest of the world. Those things were well-made, too.

  Marsha Blackburn Blasts Buttigieg on Supply Chain Crisis: ‘Get Back to Work or Leave the Department   ..."Blackburn’s comments come after Politico reported that Buttigieg has been on paid leave since mid-August, electing to spend time with his husband, Chasten, and their two newborn babies rather than doing his job as transportation secretary."...

"You have reached the office of Transportation Secretary Mr. Buttigieg. Your call is very important to me...

Hizzoner’s dishonor: Coward Bill de Blasio buckles to the fringe

 

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

NY Post " In the midst of the 2020 ­George Floyd protests, New York’s City Council demanded in a pique of illiberalism that Mayor de Blasio remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson from City Hall. Never one to shy away from a horrible idea, Hizzoner is now honoring this deeply anti-American request. 

"Thomas Jefferson. The author of the Declaration of Independence, the third president, and ironically, a founder of what is today the Democratic Party. 

"I suppose one can see why Blas would have disdain for Jefferson. After all he was a political figure with enormous accomplishments, while the mayor is best known for flushing two decades of progress in Gotham down the toilet in his two terrible terms. 

"De Blasio is acting like a guy in an action movie walking slowly away from a fire he set, adding statue toppling to his long resume of risible decisions as mayor. ". . . 

Joe Rogan 'absolutely eviscerated' CNN's Sanjay Gupta: Kurtz

CDC Recommends 'Horse Dewormer' Ivermectin for Refugees. So Where's the Media Outrage?  Below we see CNN doing what CNN does. Next we see Rogan standing up to this presstitution.

Youtube  "Fox News' Howard Kurtz weighs in on the viral exchange between Joe Rogan and Dr. Sanjay Gupta over CNN's characterization of ivermectin as 'horse dewormer.' "

Joe Rogan's Dust-Up With CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Exposes the Narrative  "On Wednesday, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, sat down with Joe Rogan for an extensive interview. The reason for the appearance was Gupta’s new book, World War C: Lesson From the COVID-19 Pandemic and How to Prepare for the Next One. The lesson everyone should take away from the fallout of the interview is don’t ever make the corporate media your only source of information in a crisis.

"Anyone familiar with Joe Rogan’s podcast knows they are long, cover topics not remotely implied by the primary reason for the interview, and the host can be relentless. In his interview with Gupta, the fireworks erupted when discussing COVID-19. Rogan was diagnosed with the virus and made a video telling his followers how he treated the illness. The regimen included vitamins, supplements, monoclonal antibodies, and The Drug That Cannot Be Named: ivermectin.

"After Rogan’s video went viral, the corporate and left-wing media led with stories about Rogan taking “horse dewormer,” mocking and denigrating him. The narrative—that COVID-19 is deadly with few available treatments—demands it. Networks also hate Rogan, who draws more eyes and ears than any cable news host.". . . 

Glenn Greenwald

This is such an important exchange. CNN loves to herald itself as vital warriors against disinformation and lies, while vilifying independent voices like Joe Rogan as a plague on our discourse. Yet here, Rogan all but forces Sanjay Gupta to admit CNN lied about him *on purpose*.

Ivermectin bad; puberty blockers just fine?

Get ready: Out come Nativity scenes with masked Jesus, Mary, Joseph

. . . "We are replacing a religion founded on love and the promise of eternal life with one of fear, distrust, obsequiousness, and opacity.

"Last Christmas, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy put up a large indoor Nativity scene that would have been beautiful and uplifting to look at — were it not for the cloth masks covering everyone's faces.

"Similarly, in Bilbao, Spain, the diocesan Museum of Sacred Art housed a Nativity scene featuring masked figurines...and a Christmas star made out of masks and gloves.  And a crib made out of toilet paper rolls.

"Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus wearing masks?  Jesus's crib made from rolls of toilet paper?

"We are now trying to make God into our pathetic image(s).  Why would the Virgin Mary or the Son of God need to wear a mask?  Maybe this year's Nativity scenes will show them sporting vaccine passports.". . .
