With the JoeBama administration looming, suddenly New York totalitarian Governor Andrew Cuomo has a reversal in position:
If you read that and said… “wha, wait.. huh?”, you would not be alone. After initiating lock-down measures that collapsed the New York economy because there was no other option…. suddenly the risks of economic collapse are worse than the COVID-19 threat, which is the same message President Trump has been sharing for months. What gives?
[…] New York has used just half of its roughly one million vaccine doses so far, and Cuomo said New York won’t have enough doses for roughly four million eligible New Yorkers until mid-April, based on the state’s federal allotment of 300,000 vaccines per week.
[…] “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo said. (read more)
The timing of this seems to be connected to the shift in administration; which would imply, publicly, that COVID shutdowns are indeed -as most have said- very politically motivated.
It will be interesting to see how California Governor Gavin Newsom responds to the shift in position from Cuomo.
The economic damage has been catastrophic, but all of the totalitarian governors have used the COVID threat to justify their action. This shift today is in direct contrast to several months of narrative drum-beating. Is this the inflection point where we discover that COVID was weaponized for maximum political value?
This change in approach was easily predictable. The Cloward-Priven goals have been achieved. The Democrat states have amassed enough debt to overwhelm the system. With the Democrats firmly in control of all three branches of government, debt will be nationalized and the death of Federalism declared.
Can you say “Fort Sumter”?
Yes, seems they had to wait for Congress to offically do the electors, then all greenlighted. Same with schools and vaccines. Seen other states saying similar.
The dems are in control of two branches. Judicial remains conservative.
Courts don’t matter anymore. We don’t have standing.
Wow – REALLY?
Roberts is COMPROMISED. Has been since the ACA decision.
The bigger issue with the Judicial Branch is that NO ONE WANTS TO RISK THEIR FAMILIES SAFETY by hearing cases the left doesn’t want heard.
And I honestly say I CANNOT BLAME THEM. The revenge tactics being visited upon conservatives OF ALL STRIPE, are too great to be ignored.
Look at the GA State Reps that were stripped of committee chairmanships: “State Sen. Burt Jones (R-Jackson) will no longer chair the Committee on Insurance and Labor. State Sen. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) no longer oversees that body’s Transportation Committee.”
And this is just the beginning. This is a PURGE – PLAIN AND SIMPLE. And while no one advocates for violence – we will soon CEASE TO EXIST in the world of politics.
Look at the R’s that remain mute at the notion of impeachment – or even support it.
Good luck getting re-elected. While the antics of the last few years SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED the D party – the antics of THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAVE DESTROYED THE R PARTY.
A 3rd party, led by Trump – is WHAT BOTH PARTIES FEAR – perhaps EVEN MORE THAN CHINA (actually, the dems don’t fear China – Xi is THEIR PRESIDENT).
Which is why they are attempting to impeach – again – with BASELESS ACCUSATIONS. The desperation is both palpable and telling. ESPECIALLY FROM COCAINE MITCH MCCONNELL. DJT SAVED HIM FROM DEFEAT and he STICKS THE KNIFE IN.
All these traitorous RINO’s, were more than happy to leverage the support of the MAGA base to stay in office – and more than happier to kiss Piglosi’s wrinkled butt to not be made irrelevant for the next two years (hint – THEY ALREADY ARE).
Meanwhile – the WHOLLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES to the election process made last year – will end up becoming LAW – and this nation will NEVER AGAIN SEE AN ELECTION THAT CAN BE VIEWED WITH ANY MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE IN IT’S FAIRNESS OR VERACITY.
Was going to do my Panama retirement in 8-10 years, now it’s looking more like 3-5. There will be plenty of real estate available in Central America – after millions of their citizens walk freely across our borders.
We put DJT in office – TO BREAK THE GAME – we were ALMOST THERE, exposing in full view, what we ALL KNOW TO BE TRUE IN PRIVATE. And americans that say “I don’t care” about the corruptions, are the ones that will SUFFER THE MOST BECAUSE OF THEM.
Not sure why Cuomo is relenting his dictatorship. Still not sure my fellow NY’ers should venture too far.
“Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on seven individuals and four entities that are part of a Russia-linked foreign influence network associated with Andrii Derkach, who was designated on September 10, 2020, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13848 for his attempt to influence the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. Derkach, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, has been an active Russian agent for more than a decade, maintaining close connections with Russian intelligence services.”

Press release by Sec Pompeo. Is there any association?
WSB- good to see you again. Haven’t seen you in awhile. Killer Cuomo is not relinquishing his dictatorship by any means. Our legislators betrayed us last March when they gave him absolute power in the state.
Nothing stops Killer Cuomo except maybe a job in Joe Demento’s administration. Maybe they will make him Covid Czar since he did such a great job in NY.
Great to see you, Seneca! I am only still able to post from my office machine. No go still on the tablet. Been reading and lurking though.
Our state NYS Senator did call me yesterday and spent a half hour on the phone with me.
I reviewed some of my 15 points I emailed her a week ago regarding how the NYS county election mirrored the other swing states. Said someone should have a bit of intellectual curiosity over the election in NYS. Told her in no way should anyone have certified the state election outcome based on all of the illegal activity surrounding the votes.
She told me she would speak to the BOE head. Wonder if I will ever hear back?
Meanwhile, Killer Cuomo seems to off his meds again!
Seneca, a rather excellent suggestion for Como. He will be able to kill off many more elderly people, who as he said were going to die anyway.
This charlatan will also die someday and will face judgment.
This charlatan will also die someday and face judgment.
I hate to break it to this charlatan, but he too will also die someday. Hopefully, he will face judgment.
Hopefully someday sooner than later. Even if it is a military commission.
They know they can reactivate it anytime they want now.
Another great article about the Chi Com Flu Coup Hoax. Killer Cuomo was a willing participant.
He and the other Blue State governors who destroyed so many lives should be tried for crimes against humanity.
“That’s because China’s response in Wuhan was pure pseudoscience. It didn’t actually work. China did not eliminate a virus. The data about lockdowns — now tried in over 100 countries, and having been instituted for almost a year — shows that they do not work to eliminate a respiratory virus. The same goes with every other non pharmaceutical intervention, in addition to contact tracing for the virus. The data on lockdowns are unrelenting and crystal-clear in showcasing their catastrophic failures. China did not eliminate a virus, they successfully sold the image of eliminating a virus.

Seneca: thanks for sharing that article…excellent read that I will pass on.
Jeem- thanks! There is so much great information out there that is not being reported by the main stream.
Here in Australia I have been saying exactly the same thing. There is a mountain of studies showing lockdowns are a complete catastrophe. But we still have brainless politicians instituting them, we just had a snap 3 day one in Brisbane. With only 10 hours warning – these jokers have no idea about business, same as Cuomo and co.
Its quite simple, follow the science. The fact that they won’t tells me they are either totally incompetent (most likely) or seem to think that making most of the population dependent on govt is a good thing….
Great link
Hi Seneca! Missed ya. Brilliant post. Thanks so much for sharing.
This change in position also coincides with a likely court loss in a lawsuit brought by several restaurants after a few have already succeeded.
Cuomo is making a move in the right direction to help his people restore their state economy, but those Antifa rioters in New York City are certainly not going to encourage any new businesses to open there.
To late, NY in deep financial trouble. Sm business will not come back. People are leaving NY Real estate in deep trouble
I was born and raised in NY and if I wasn’t so well established with my business and family I would have left years ago.
Meanwhile, I continue to fight the good fight as best I can on the local level. There are more patriots north of NYC than Killer Cuomo can imagine.
The only reason he and the other scumbags keep getting elected is FRAUD.
Yep.. Fraud it is, and the Left (Dem) or Right (Repub) don’t want it fixed! Why the hell would they. If they couldn’t fix the votes, they could not keep getting re-elected. It’s a scam. Business as usual. You have the Military industrial complex, Big oil, Ag business, and trillions at stake. They want the pay-off for all the bribes.
And now if there is a change in administration, the bailout for all the sinking Dem cities is just around the corner.
I live upstate too as well Seneca now with the new administration bailout money is coming for Cuomo and only his friends
Any more Antifa riots will be classified as QAnan riots and suppressed.
Cuomo never makes a move in the right direction. Heck he probably has China all set to buy all those closed businesses.
They strive to condition us like Pavlov’s dog. Republican President = bad. Democrat President = good.
Will we ever see another Republican President? With the utter corruption of the bureaucracy during the Obama years, and with the corruption of the electoral process abetted by Republicans obsessed with removing Trump, at any cost, it seems impossible in the short term.
Republican president? With the ability of the Democrats to cheat and get away with it? And, the betrayal of Republican Senators January 6 on the electoral college confirmation?
A future Republican President in our generation seems highly unlikely.
The experiment is over. “Free and fair” elections are gone. The “consent of the governed” is no longer required. The Dems now know that they can steal all elections with impunity. We’re toast.
Republican is a dead issue as for a National Office because of the RINO’s with their hands in the Democratic Money Bag & the Democrats ability to print fake ballots……. Bye GOP
Pavlov’s Dog needs to boost his master’s economic recovery.
What happened to the reply above? It didn’t break and there is a scroll bar on it.
Personally, I pray that we will never see another Republican President. Why on earth should 70million true Americans give these Traitors anything?
We simply must form the New Patriot Party.
Cuomo cries Uncle.
Too bad it’s too late for so many regular, hard working New Yorkers.
ugh. What a disgusting creep.
Check out this opinion piece a friend in a Blue state sent me. A New Yorker draws contrast between FL/DeSantis and Cuomo/NY re. Covid response:
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/covid-florida-ny-karol-markowicz
Two other things this article didn’t mention NY sent Covid patients into nursing homes. The elderly is the most at risk. NY is at 16% of their population over 65, Florida is at 20% with a larger population so they are doing really, really well.
I don’t know if NY State has a recall mechanism but it looks like Newsom is going to be removed as governor of CA. Cuomo may be taking note of that in addition to knowing that his mission to make people miserable to help get Trump out of office is complete.
We do not.
How much longer is he in office?
12/31/2022
Donny, New York does not have recall.
I made a three-part prediction a while back.
Two out of three is not bad.
Ezekiel Emmanuel approves.
SPOT ON.
Wrong Cuomo!
Out of the abundance of caution we should remain locked down until the virus has been defeated!
Don’t put innocents at risk simply to advance your oppressive capitalism!
A lot of blah, blah, blah about the vaccine by the governor but he never ever says one thing about improving the health of his constituents so they do not need a vaccine.
What a genius, I think Trump said something similar 9 months ago. Glad to see you are finally coming around to a sensible thought.
As I and many, many, many other have said, as soon as Biden becomes president there will a miracle covid cure.
Governor Charlie Parker (nee Baker) will likely follow shortly. Of course, he’ll have to unfold from his fetal position and remove a thumb from his mouth first.
Governor Charlie “Faker” corrected.
Didn’t see that one a coming—-not!
I anxiously await Joebama’s 100 day lockdown.
Como is a piece of work that one rarely sees even in the dirty business of politics. There is another line of work that might be better suited for him.
I think we all called this. When they no longer need a fake pandemic to wreck Trump’s blazing economy, they decide to open things up “safely”. “Safely” = blue state bailouts under Bribin’ Biden.
I can’t decide which is better Joebama or Bribin’ Biden.
Take your thought and then go the next step.
Consider how this works out with attempting to control several billion people around the world.
Next, think how in that thought how it is better to be feared than loved.
It might be illuminating as to the intentions of the green new deal.
Possibly, one way to deal with that problem.
This reprobat gave a speech a few years ago and said, “America has never been great.”
Sorry for the laungage but this cretin is a filthy scumbag. This degenerate is a P,..0,…
unmitigated S,…..
I bailed out of New York State 23 years ago, and never looked back, and I’m so happy that I did so.
well Biden is going to be president now- so now we open up the country. Biden needs the GNP numbers,
For the Communists aka RINOs & Democrats it’s Mission Accomplished!!
Now that the lockdowns crashed Trump’s booming economy, it’s time to tee up the Biden recovery.
By destroying the dollar? This is gonna be fun.
If I were a NYer. I would give the middle finger and refuse to go to work now. I would mingle and go out and about but refuse to go back to work. (Yes, I am just that stubborn) Drive that jerk Cuomo, right into the ground.
when the buffalo bills won their playoff game sat they told cuomo he wasn;t invited to the party.
But will the sleeping masses make the connection? I have relatives who are totally clueless and will probably believe whatever claptrap pablum the media dishes out!
I was just lurking through the comment section at Fox to see what the crazies (trolls) had to say. And there weren’t any. Not a scientific review mind you, but you’d normally see at least one obvious paid troll in the first set of comments.
There were none. None on the next political story too. It’s like they all packed up and went home or got cut off. Curious.
Addition – there were some on the main story about PDJT, but it seems the number has greatly decreased.
Arrest them all – mass murder, politically motivated terrorism, what some places call economic sabotage, vote schemes, and yes, treason – literally against the lives of the people. Probably substantial self enrichment too.
I wonder if the idiot got a little talking to by his handlers and money bags. Maybe the skim off top of alcohol sales by his pals was cutting a bit deep. Would never admit it but is probable.
As in, when there are no alcohol sales, there is nothing to skim.
Murder Surged in Democrat-Controlled Cities During 2020.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/31/murder-surged-democrat-controlled-cities-during-2020/
My bride was off the grid today and when I picked her up at end of day, I related a headline about this. She gave me that “are you kidding me?” look, then looked back out the windshield. “If he’s not the dumbest guy in America then, who is? … Wait, what did Newsom do today?”
Spoken just like Donald J Trump. I’m glad they agree.
Let’s hope the Supreme Court is not in control of Democrats. It remains to be seen.
As it is with all the crooks, 6 judges on the Supreme Court are controlled directly by Communist Democrats and indirectly by Communist China.
What remains to be seen?. SCOTUS and the inferior courts have failed to protect The Law or The People or the Constitution already. Lawyers in black robes are still just lawyers….
All 3 branches are now exposed.
We debated over the summer whether the lockdowns would’ve been more extreme under a demonrat administration or if they would’ve acted as they did during the swine flu under Obozo. I was of the opinion that they would’ve acted like it was no big deal and that due to their unparalleled prevention actions we defeated the virus in heroic fashion. No way they would’ve jeopardized reelection due to some proles dying a few months earlier than they would have.
No, this was always weaponized to take out PDJT. Just like in sports, people generally blame the coach or GM when a team hits some turbulance during the season, and the demonrats used the ‘Rona in the same way to turn the fans against our leader.
Yeap, this happened in Minnesota, the deep blue state, too.
Gubner no-balls walz released his troll hold on us yesterday, but like little andy the hold was only partial.
Convenient how things changed once the staged coup for demented JoeMala was completed.
They have to. They need the narrative that they are competent. That they got rid of covid. That America and Americans are safe in their hands – the ones they have not killed or cancelled that is.
I would say there is no economy in New York City to reopen.
Empty office towers are now the norm, shuttered storefronts and restaurants the new reality.
Broadway? What’s that?
Talk about the Blue State Blues.
And now that Antifa claims they own the streets, that’s the kill shot. Sad situation.
Nobody will ever sing I Love New York again!
Very troubling for all the business owners and employees.
Cuomo is a day late and a buck short, great foresight /sarc.,
I am completely disgusted with our leadership R and D. They killed thousands to get rid of Trump. Criminal.
On Twitter the responses to this are amusing. Half the people are calling him out for being so obviously duplicitous in waiting until Biden is about to be sworn in when he literally could have done this at any time and the other half are shredding him because they think this is the absolute wrong thing to do and that NY and other states should pay people to stay home “like other countries have”.
On a side note, it’s rather funny that he puts out this tweet literally as cases of the “U.K. Strain” of the virus are on the rise in NY and it’s caused a rather sizable uptick in cases in the state overall.
Everybody open up now….Biden installed…You are clear for take off.
After the Buffalo Game where Cuomo showed his colors he needs to follow thru.
Cuomo is the School Bully that spent all his time beating up the small kids and never learned a thing…now he’s Governor of a Loser State that spends it’s entire time sucking up to power in DC to get handouts. So what else is new? The voters in NY must be a bunch of total Morons to elect someone as pathetic as Cuomo or DeBlasio!
Of course the Covid lockdowns were political. Also it gets the public accustomed to following authoritarian orders
The COVID-19 new cases charts are pretty much showing the worse numbers since the start of the pandemic, so Killer Cuomo wants to open up
