Kentucky Senator Rand Paul confronted wildly political Health and Human Service Secretary Xavier Becerra during a Senate Health Committee hearing on Thursday.
Senator Paul took exception to the hubris, arrogance and verbal attacks on the American electorate by HHS Secretary Becerra, and provided him an opportunity to apologize for his characterizations. The fact that those behind Joe Biden installed Becerra as HHS secretary was a key indicator they always intended to weaponize the fear of COVID-19.
Becerra is a far-left communist traveler in the mold of those who shaped Barack Obama. As an outcome of his ideology, Becerra’s job is to weaponize the weight of the healthcare system to attain political objectives. It is good to see a high visibility senator confront that reality. WATCH:
CTH has been warning about the Chicago network behind Biden and their objective. We have accurately predicted their moves, but what we cannot determine is how the larger American electorate will respond to these encroachments.
[December 2020] Why is COVID-19 being disproportionately hyped as such a dangerous threat, when the reality of the statistical danger is much less than the intense level of hype?… That is the key question.
Susan Rice?….

Social and transformational change under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation. COVID is the entry point for the goals and aspirations of the political left on a national and global scale. COVID-19 is a virus, but also a very important political weapon, and we are discovering what the purpose of the hype is all about. What follows below will help understand; at least it reconciles some of the more obvious issues; and when you encounter the fear, it will help to reconcile/explain what people cannot figure out.
Joe Biden is an avatar; a political pawn; a cognitively declining guy who has no idea what is happening around him. The people behind Biden, those in real control of what this is about, have not hidden their goals and aspirations. These are not stupid people. They are scheming, conniving, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian types within the political system; lusting for power, influence and affluence.
What they are doing is weaponizing COVID-19 to attain ideological objectives. This is why they hyped the fear within it for almost a year. Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC. COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists.
On October 23rd, 2020, those behind the Biden campaign dropped all pretense, openly having their candidate state publicly his intention to control the lives of all Americans using the authority of a weaponized federal government to advance national COVID-19 regulations.
The Dept of Transportation would be the agency enforcing a national interstate transit mask and/or vaccine requirement. However, don’t focus on the DoT part of what he was saying in 2020… that was only one creek. Instead, focus on the downstream use of all federal regulatory agencies and how they align within a Federal COVID compliance agenda… that’s the river.
Think about the Dept of Agriculture (SNAP/food stamps), the Dept. of Labor, the Dept of Education, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Dept of Labor, Dept of Energy and how they would join with the DoT to create the aggregate raging river of regulation.
Think about the federal government using mandates for enforced national COVID-19 compliance rules. Think about USDA (Dept of Agriculture) and OSHA federal inspections for social distancing, masks, vaccinations (etc) in all businesses, not just restaurants.
Think about the COVID-19 regulatory and compliance system and what political beneficiaries stand to gain.
Think about the Dept of Education using COVID, masks and mandatory vaccination demands, to restructure the way education is taught and the downstream regulations on charter schools and non-compliant educational systems that do not meet the ideological objectives of the master control plan. Think about how the ideologues can use COVID to force compliance by independent educational institutions.
Think about how the Dept. of Labor (complaint division) can be weaponized against political opposition based on arbitrary mask/vaccine inspections under the guise of employee health and safety…. using federal COVID compliance rules.
Think about required days off for the entire employee base if a single infection is identified in the workplace. Paid days off…. funded by Federal Government. Think about how that changes the income dependency dynamic.
Think about the larger Green New Deal (goals and objectives), and then contrast those objectives while aligning an overlay map of how federal COVID mitigation rules can be applied as a back door to the EXACT SAME objective.
Far beyond masks and even vaccines…. workspaces being forced to be redesigned. New rules on labor density, even rules on what qualifies as a monopoly can be modified. New rules on labor/manufacturing and office proximity. New rules on uniforms. New rules on hand-washing stations. New rules on sick pay, shift hours, time-off when a COVID infection is detected in the workplace.
Think about everything from rules on surfaces, to rules on packaging, to rules on ALL business operations as an outcome of federal regulatory policy under the guise of CVOID-19 mitigation.
Think about check-in locations and geolocation monitoring all under the guise of COVID tracking. OSHA, Labor, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Education, Housing, Health and Human Services, and even federal building permits… the entire regulatory system and compliance network. We are only beginning to fathom how far they plan to go with this.
Think about Housing and Urban Development (HUD) having new rules about dwellings and complexes for housing grants. Population density; the need to move into the suburbs and the confiscation of private property to “ensure the common safety” of the citizens.
Think about those types of business regulations applied on a national level…. and then, as seen in prior Democrat administrations with IRS etc, think about all of these regulations and rules also being enforced through the prism of political affiliation.
Think about how states that refuse to participate in the mandates will be cut off from federal grants and funding for college tuition, Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement, etc. etc.
Think about what happens to Main Street USA?
Think about companies on the NASDAQ or national companies on the stock-market?
Think about how those USA-specific federal COVID compliance regulations apply when considering U.S. business operations -vs- just taking operations overseas without those worries.
Think about who in Washington DC then takes control of what types of business interests are allowed to operation…. who determines the winning and losing. Which powerful lobbyists will use their ability to influence regulations for their own benefit.
Think about how Federal COVID-19 regulations can be used to put the multinational corporate world back (the globalists) on their former financial pathways, even without TPP and TTIP trade deals. [Every domestic regulation weaponized against Main Street USA is a win for the Wall Street multinationals.]
Think about how much China and Europe would love to see our economy knee-capped in a Biden regulatory stranglehold; essentially achieving the same objectives as the Paris Climate Treaty.
Think long and hard about how far the tentacles of achieving the Green New Deal can extend under the auspices of federal COVID-19 mitigation.
Remember, those who are working on this don’t care about the middle-class and they have not for decades. The visibility of the ‘rust belt’ is the reference. This is about government bureaucrats, ideological leftists, using their DC power-base to control trillions in economic value and sell their ability to influence the winners and losers to the highest foreign bidder.
How does wealth accumulate when businesses and organizations are subject to government selecting the “approved” vs the “non-approved.”
Look at what blue states, blue municipalities, governors and federal agencies have already done to seize power and control. Now think about that same manipulative intent spread throughout the entire country by weaponizing all federal agencies with advanced COVID-enabled regulation.
That should start to frame the reference point going forward. Remember, within all totalitarian states religion is a risk… the assembly for religious worship is always considered a risk to by those who demand control over free thought and lives.
Regional populations begin to move around based on their ability to work, live and have freedom; yet the elitist class always need servants and service providers. Think about how those at the top of the caste system will need labor to fill their needs. Who will they need…. controllable immigrants, lots of them.
The national legislative priority will be focused on retention of that power system by generating an entirely new form of congressional representation, and rule modification to support the new power structure. Perhaps new states, new senators, new election systems, and funding for the needs of the executive; that will be the focus of the facilitating legislative branch.
Those behind the executive branch; those controlling Joe Biden; will harness and weaponize the power; a power dynamic created by fear. Meanwhile, the legislative leftists will attempt to ensure the new systems they create under the guise of COVID-19 are never in a position to be withdrawn.
That’s the bigger picture.
That’s what they mean by “Build Back Better“.
This ain’t their first rodeo….
The Build Back Better Agenda will lower costs for American workers and their families — without adding a single dollar to our national deficit. It's fully paid for by ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share, and no one who makes under $400,000 a year will pay more.
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) October 2, 2021
What better way to “fundamentally change” America than to replace freedom with tyranny?
Barry’s hands are all over this….see Kamel Harris.
I have to disagree with you about Harris. She’s empty headed and gaffe prone, unattractive inside and out. A complete fraud, ungraceful, unserious and insincere. I cannot for the life of me figure why they chose her for the position she’s in, but the die was cast long ago when Obama on a trip to California made such a big deal out of her. I thought then they’d plug her in somewhere. I think they had the presidency in mind, but she rightly bombed out early so it was the booby prize of VP they gave her.
She’s not a skilled politician, speaker, or diplomat, can’t think quickly on her feet. The most telltale indication of what a ghastly failure she’ll be on the international stage eventually (God help us) was when, after shaking hands with the President of South Korea, she wiped her hand on her trousers as if she’d just shaken hands with Jeffrey Epstein. It was embarrassing and disgraceful. No, she has no clue. I cannot see her having any input in this absolute disaster of a govenment.
It is likely any number of behind the scenes well known names are pulling every string. But to my thinking, Kamala isn’t one of them.
Like pedo joe was 0bama’s insurance policy…..
So Cumala is pedo joe’s insurance policy.
That’s an insurance policy with no redeemable value any way you look at it.
Commies come in all shapes and sizes and mental capabilities …………
But they all serve a purpose from skilled orators to gutter thugs and Al Capone type murderers.
They are all amoral and evil.
Kkkkkka-smell-her fits the bill regardless of her public appearances.
Well said!
None of them are smart. Do you really think Obama has a brain cell in that head? Harris is one of them. Her whole family is in on it, especially her commie sister.
GOD WINS IN THE END !
Rand, once again, definitely has his moments.
Yes, he does; and, rest assured that each and every such moment will be followed by him sending out hundreds of thousands of mailings asking for donations. But, like his father who spent decades in office without actually accomplishing anything other than attaining a wealth of eight million dollars, Rand never takes any action that really solves a problem other than adding to his own wealth to the tune of 2.5 million dollars during HIS decade in office.
So, we shouldn’t applaud Paul for his efforts???? Really. We should fold our hands like little mice and take the jab because Becerra says so. Jesse, what is wrong with you?
We need to demand more resolve through actions. Talk is cheap.
^^^THIS^^^
Rand is my senator and I love the guy. He has the courage to confront these evildoers, including the sainted Fauci. He goes around our state to towns and cities talking with the people, especially small businesses. It’s hard to fight the Uniparty alone, and that is basically what he is when he tries to limit wasteful spending and Big Government. He is a Constitutionalist. He comes to our city periodically to do pro bono eye surgeries with a local ophthalmologist friend. Yes, he fundraises but I don’t fault him excessively for that. It takes $$ for reelection. Is he perfect? No. Methinks he suffers from “Short Man Complex” at times and I don’t believe he wasn’t culpable to some degree in the conflict with and subsequent assault by his neighbor. Not crazy about his vote to certify 2020, even though he gave his reason why. Some folks here like to perpetually trash him, but next to my other so-called Senator, he shines. For now, I stand with Rand.
10% of the male population in the U.S. is 6’tall or over. Five-Seven is not an issue.
I am 5’7″ and have met Rand Paul. He is shorter than I am.
Wonder what the percentage of the Male population is that is between 5’7″ and 6′ tall?
P.S. Hope I didn’t hit a nerve. (Wink and a smile)
Applaud for his efforts? Sure thing. What I’m looking for isn’t just effort though, I’m looking for and expecting results.
Re “So, we shouldn’t applaud Paul for his efforts???? Really. We should fold our hands like little mice and take the jab because Becerra says so. Jesse, what is wrong with you?”
I never said or implied anything like that. Why don’t you address what I actually did say instead of trying to put words in my mouth that I never said?
Paul did a great job grilling Becerra and you want to undermine what just happened. Oh my goodness! Rand Paul does fundraising! A politician does fundraising! We must criticize this man for something, anything, as he speaks truth to power.
Do I have it right?
Politicians like Rand Paul have been “speaking truth to power” for decades. Why aren’t THEY in power now? Because all they DO is talk!
And, even though Paul did well by VERBALLY standing up to Becerra, he often fails to speak as righteously.
On the afternoon of the Jan. 6 fake insurrection, for example, Paul not only referred to that peaceful protest thusly, “chaos… anarchy… the violence today was wrong and unamerican,” he went on to claim that Congress has no Constitutional authority to decertify a presidential election; ALTHOUGH, the Constitution does in fact do EXACTLY that.
See Senator Rand Paul on Capitol Security Breach and Arizona Objection | C-SPAN.org
YET, in another quote found in the excerpts from his speech that can be viewed below the video, Paul himself stated that on the very morning of that peaceful protest, he was FULLY prepared to use the Constitution’s authority to do so.
Apologies for all the caps. I copied and pasted as I found it…
You’re asking us to applaud a slavemaster because he’s kinder than the others. Has he loosened my bonds? Has he relieved me of my condition? Just because he offers a glass of water while the other hand holds a whip does not mean the whip is not there.
Rand Paul is not a slavemaster and you are not his victim LarsUnas! He is an elected official doing a great job of holding a real petty tyrant, Becerra, to task.
The dems are a bunch of tyrannical fascists in any definition of tyrannical fascist you want to use. Becerra is their toady and I, for one, love to see toady men like Becerra get poked by politicians like Rand Paul. It should happen all the time Becerra appears from under his rock in the swamp.
You must be a troll or a self hater to take a stand against Rand Paul in this situation.
Doctor Rand Paul went to African countries other places restoring sight pro bono to hundreds probably by now thousands of eye cataract afflicted people.
Yes, he did do that on a number of occasions; including, while running for president against Donald Trump in 2015; and, he had zero qualms about using his trip to Haiti to bash Trump while being interviewed on tape there.
See: Rand Paul in Haiti Doing Eye Surgery Talks About Campaign – YouTube
He also had an NBC reporter and a camera team recording his work in Haiti to be used as part of his presidential campaign via an appearance on NBC after he returned to the U.S..
See: Meet the Press Transcript – August 24, 2014 (nbcnews.com)
Oh my goodness. Rand Paul used his medical expertise to help people who otherwise would not receive medical intervention. Let us find fault with that too?
He talked about his campaign? He fundraised for his campaign? He recorded his good works for his campaign? He is a politician, not a saint. But if he saved my eyesight or yours, I would be grateful. I don’t think Jesse, you would be grateful. There is something wrong with your attitude.
Pro bono, huh? I’ve never been able to afford a lawyer or a doctor. Too bad I’m American and international surgeon Rand Paul can’t help me.
Come to Paducah KY. He operates pro bono here with a local ophthalmologist friend of his.
Perhaps LarsUnas, you have not needed emergency surgery because it would be available to you free of cost, if you showed up at any Emergency Room.
Perhaps you have not needed legal aid, because there is legal aid for people who need it, and cannot afford it even if they are “American.”You have to search it out.
Doctors and lawyers have bills to pay and careers to follow and can’t do everything free of cost. Are you a socialist? What are you complaing about? Someone else got a good deal, not you?
Your arguments are specious.
Before the last couple days, I would have argued that politicians don’t have groupies; but, I’m beginning to think I was wrong…
Try reading page, ON The ISSUES, then talk to us about Ron Paul’s lack of accomplishments.
Be happy to. Post a link…
Meanwhile, I recommend that you check out the definition of the word, “accomplishment.”
See Accomplishment | Definition of Accomplishment by Merriam-Webster
They are more on target than any of the B.S. being sold to us by the left and right.
We have more sand than they have gears.
YES!!! THAT is the key. They can never, no matter how strong/rich/powerful they see themselves, in their pride-
Defeat the masses. We must mass together. Let the pebbles become stone.
And the stones become boulders!
We need the masses of regular people standing up to this – they’re nothing if the ground shifts beneath their feet. If we are controllable, they win. Have to be willing to give up your stuff – they’re going to take it anyway. The left is willing to walk away – we have greater numbers but without political will it won’t matter
Also, if the federal government is going to withhold “federal grants” from red states – well, where does the federal government GET the money for “federal grants” – from taxpayers within the states – so what if the governors who see their states and their state’s citizens being abused by the federal government say, hey, you aren’t getting that money in the first place to turn it INTO “federal grants” etc.
Will the governors be able to stop the IRS from just taking the money from your bank account? How?
I don’t know the answer to that!
But maybe there is a way to do that – block that – make it against state law (with the state’s legislature making it so)
Bills of Attainder – that’s what they are going back to, those directing our federal government to punish citizens for standing up for themselves, their elderly parents, their children and grandchildren –
yep – at least get your money out of the big banks. We saw after 1/6 what B of A did – turned over all their customers’ bank transactions from the DC area to the FBI. Outrageous that Patriots still have accounts there.
War. But everyone’s going to quietly pretend that’s not on the table until it’s suddenly upon us.
They will send the military to enforce their edicts. That’s the tyranny we’re under. You will not be able to vote your way out of this. The GOP will win in 2022 and shock a lot of naive voters by supporting Biden’s agenda. As long as their corporations get the money they don’t care.
They will get the money same as they always do. Just print more of it.
Build Back Better, Sorry you are not included in the better. Goodbye! The message is not so subtle..
People who think Build Back Better is not a farce probably also think ’52 Card Pick-Up’ is a real card game…
It’s the global slogan of the NWO. BoJo used it as well. Such a banal phrase. At first I thought Joey was plagiarizing again. Then I started looking around the world to see it was being used in many countries. That was the giveaway.
Exactly. The “Build Back Better” BS is being used all over the world by the NWO (Great Reset) elite Davos crowd of Corporate Communist. Xiden was handed the phrase and that old, dried up fool of a puppet doesn’t have a clue what it means with the exception of what his handlers feed him.
besides that, it is so clunky . . . did Obama come up with that?
I wonder if Obama gets a thrill out of people thinking he is “the power behind the throne” – the guy pulling all the strings –
he also is a puppet, I think – but just doesn’t have any more of a clue than Joe Biden does
$400,000 huh? Golly, that number sure seems an awful lot like the President’s salary. And just to think, all the Congressional millionaires making $180k won’t have to pay anything extra either, ffs. And, FJB
The actual, duly-elected President donated 100% of his salary to worthy causes.
And how many Americans actually even knew it? Our MSM made sure to keep a constant steady drumbeat of lies and disinformation.
I miss him fiercely. I liked winning.
Becerra said at the beginning that he would have to get back to you as he was not familiar with the Israeli study. Later he said the dept has gone over dozens of studies, including the Israeli one! Can’t have it both ways. FJB.
I caught that too. Rand missed a golden opportunity to throw that in his face.
Didn’t see your comment a few minutes before mine before posting. 🙂
Yeah I caught that too……cannot even lie well.
Yeah I caught that too……cannot even
lie well.cannot even ANYTHING! grossly incompetent
It’s called dissembling, I think. So obvious and disingenuous.
Very astute.
That’s because he is a venal and habitual liar. The truth is whatever his handlers tell him it is or what he is able to pull out of his @ss on the spur of the moment.
Don’t make over 400k, no worries, right? Once the vehicle mileage tax is approved, the middle class will then be told “it’s your fair share.”
I drive approx 25,000 miles a year. Have 567,000 miles on current vehicle and make roughly 65-70 a year. If the VMT goes into effect, does that mean that all gas taxes, registration add on fees etc get eliminated? (Rhetorical, I’m aware). FJB
Tell me how they are going to figure that tax, than I will start figuring a way around it. Your move.
EASIEST way is to simply increase the Federal tax on gas. If it goes by odometer it would be way more involved. Many cars don’t have a functioning odometer. Then they’d have to figure out how to get a reading … so inspection time? Some States don’t have an inspection.
I drive a ’91 Dodge B350 and a ’90 VW Cabriolet so I can avoid the idiotic tailpipe check and “ENG SERV” BS light that will flunk you in NY.
If they ban internal combustion engines they would need an odometer reading yearly on electric vehicles for a mileage tax.
From year to year my business purpose miles are reported. They are deducted out of my total miles.
For total miles, the County tag office would simply need your current mileage to issue a new registration each year. In FL, you cannot get a renewal if you have even one $0.75 toll that didn’t register on a transponder. You must pay right there to get a tag or DL. (The toll systems in FL are a nightmare, whole other story that should have a RICO investigation). They already have your DL # to ID you with. It would be just a small step to then report that to the appropriate fed agencies. Wasn’t that long ago when we all thought the feds having access to our medical records was crazy talk.
No effect on the middle class! yeah/s.
Of COURSE the other fees and taxes WILL NOT be eliminated. The mileage tax will just be added on to all the other existing fees and taxes.
The Mileage Tax DOES NOT in any form or fashion affect *ANYONE making $400k or more, but SPECIFICALLY affects those of the working poor and middle classes whose jobs cannot be done remotely.
*If any making that amount of money are affected, it will be very minuscule, and I would wager that those miles would be mostly from sales types jobs where the company would either be reimbursing the employee’s mileage costs or providing a company car.
My round trip to work is 70 miles per day and my job cannot currently be done remotely (it can be if policies and processes are changed – not my call). So Joe’s “fantastic” plan will cost me even more money in order to make money.
These moves are in line with coercing people to not drive as much, put that squeeze on, meanwhile, the elites have no problem traveling wherever, whenever, by whatever mode. These people are HATEFUL.
Let’s not forget Dementia Joe has proposed removing what’s called the stepped up basis on inherited property. For those not familiar, say your parents bought a home for $100k and it is passed on to you at their death. The home’s market value at the date of death is $300k and you wish to sell.
The rules as they exist now allow the stepped up basis (cost) to be used as of the date of death, in this example $300k, and you sell the home for $350k, you have a capital gain of $50k on which the tax will be calculated.
Remove the allowance of stepped up basis and your inherited basis goes back to historical cost of $100k and you now have a capital gain of $250k on which tax will be calculated!!
What a boon for the middle class! not.
Thanks Dementia Joe!!! /s.
And Yellen’s talk of taxing Unrealized Gains would be a horrifying, very costly, nightmare.
I have some moderate, by my standards, unrealized gains. I also have a few current losses, within my accepted percentage. If I get taxed (have to pay) on the unrealized gains, shouldn’t the feds pay me on the current losses as well? /s
It’s just unfathomable the idiocy that these nitwits come up with.
Memo to Missourians: Save your gas receipts! Our stealth gas tax will have some portion refundable over the life of the increase.
Or $450K married couple, which makes the “no one who makes under $400K/yr will see their taxes go up” a lie.
Wonder how much the good Dr makes?
If fully vaccinated people can get it and spread it, why aren’t they losing their jobs too?

Because they are obedient… End of story.
This made me realize something…
I have a minor surgical procedure coming up. Per instructions, I will have to pass a C19 test prior the day before.
Now it’s possible they’ve checked my records and know my shot status, but at no point has anyone asked me. I get the impression a negative test is required regardless of how many shots you’ve taken.
So at a crucial inflection point (medical services) the charade of “Vax Pass or Negative Test” is dropped. The hospitals know the shots are useless at preventing spreading the virus, therefore they demand a negative test.
Another data point that the “passes” are nothing but political theater and control.
Had to get the test before my recent procedure. Never asked about vax. status. All they care about is that I test neg. before hospital admission.
Thanks!
You ask too many questions!
If you get the answer, please let me (us) know. I’ve asked the question of the powers that be – and the question remains unanswered.
As one who might be losing my job on 10/17 if my exemption request is not satisfactory to the powers making that determination, I am MOST INTERESTED to know the answer.
Additionally, I’ve also queried the powers that be why my natural immunity cannot be counted as equivalent to vaccination and that question has gone unanswered as well.
Shut up, “trust the facts, get the vax” – IT’S SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DON’T YOU KNOW (because we say so).
The vaccine is “Safe and Effective” for something, BUT not for creating immunity to the disease or protecting you from getting infected and spreading the disease.
Implied is that sometimes in order to build, you must first destroy.
They are doing a good job of it. Not sure what is going on at local level in other areas, but here in PA, restaurants are shutting down due to no workers. Those who managed to survive the lockdowns are now struggling to keep their places open. Lack of supplies and help are crippling them. If this continues, our small businesses won’t survive.
Speaking to the choir here.
What we have here are oligarchies putting the finishing touches on their schemes to achieve unlimited power via Neo-feudalism.
They cannot have independent minded individuals who are largely self supporting and not convinced by their fallacious arguments. Particularly ones who cannot be re-educated.
Same here.
If you’re retired and have the energy, consider going to work PT to help them out. Drastic times and all that. I’ve started to patronize only small business and shun the corporates, wish I had done it earlier because now I realize it’s hard to find the little guy. This problem is not new, just got drastically accelerated. Maybe because they were 4 years behind IDK
That’s what our Founding Fathers did before they had their revolution. The price of tea was going up due to onerous taxes, so they sent their grandfathers to work.
I was raised by a small business owner who often gave us “lessons” at the dinner table about the big government crushing the middle class and that was back in the 50’s and 60’s.
So I’ve been paying more to patronize small businesses all my life. I was fortunate to grow up in an area that had many of them, especially restaurants.
I have thought of working to help out, but my “retirement” has me caring for my mom (93) and grandchildren. We go out to eat specifically to support our locals and teach our grandchilren the value of community and networking. Our kids often buy us gift cards for our locals, but most times we don’t even use them.
When we do go out, be patient with owners and wait staff, and whenever possible, pour your own coffee, get your own napkins, box your own “to go” food and TIP BIG!
Excellent post Old School!
TY
The arrogance of this regime is breathtaking and purely evil. I’m convinced it will take more than votes to deny them their communist utopia.
Maybe not: just that the votes COUNT.
“It’s not who votes, that count. It’s who counts the votes.” – Joseph Stalin, evil to his core.
Just look at what starts in CA as a test site. Usually those moves go nationwide.
Buraq’s policies, only on steroids.
Yep this Commie is running the show with his sidekicks Jarrett and Rice. He was the worst thing ever foisted on this country. All because he had a tan. Spit.
Apologize? Oh hell no.
They are the elite, our betters.
And they are thoroughly invested in having us all jabbed.
It’s definitely not about health.
I wish the Chicago group would someday face consequences.
Go Rand. Anyone calling them out deserves thanks.
And yet, Congress is exempt from the jab; Nancy said you can not tell people what to do with their bodies.
I am in the winter of my life, the disturbing reality of our govt I now wake up with nightmares. My adult children are leftist and buy into the covid lifestyle. I worry for my grandchildren if the plan should succeed fully! It’s a fight.
Imbue in your grandchildren the righteous sensibilities you obviously have and they will carry that forward. The leftist values that are foisted on them will not stand the test of time. They will remember your actions and words. That will be a great gift to them and their future communities.
Just tried with my oldest (13) granddaughter in Texas during a visit. Took 2 separate copies of Orwell’s “1984” for her and her brother. She is well on her way to being a SJW; oldest grandson heavy into sports. Both books sat in the same spot for 2 weeks till we left.
Read “1984” in 7th grade – assigned to my class by a very astute lay teacher, one of a few among mostly teaching nuns at a Catholic School.
I remember the revolting horror I felt as I read that book for the first time. Back then, never in a million years would I have ever thought I would ACTUALLY BE LIVING 1984, or something similar – IN AMERICA of all places!
In that boat with you. Still swinging, but doubt a grandparent can have the influence needed to overcome parental, educational, media and social infiltration.
As a Grand parent, my influence is on my Grand daughter’s Mom and Dad.
We now have something in common.
My daughter is well aware of my devotion to her well being, and she passes that on to my son in law.
They in turn take my devotion and teach it to their daughter.
The older she gets the more she understands, where it matters.
What matters most, is it’s not an act or a self help book., but my heart.
We’re blood. I always try to put myself into the place my kids are in. I want to influence them by seeing their take on this time in their life. When we share our feelings about the time and situation, we share our experience in the moment. I express my experience, looking for them to make it better.
That open window , is theirs to make, what I learned, and they take it a step further.
Trust and love take care of the rest.
Beautiful, God bless you all.
I am all thunk out, my brain hurts.
I think there’s a tax for that?
400k income or over 400k wealth.
I would not put it past them to word a sleight of hand trick like that in there.
Rand the Bland would have been Grand if he had taken a Stand and thrown Sand And Demand all the Band go to the Can.
Is he trying to salvage his Brand?
I wonder if Rand is the Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity of the Senate. Huff and puff all he wants when in the minority, but not allowed to do squat when he could actually do something in the majority.
Can’t figure that guy out. Not your typical uniparty or rino, but not MAGA. Smarter than most, braver than most, but never quite grabs the ring. He could have been a contender.
Look at the hand, not the eyes
Hahahaha! These shitbirds think their going to restrict interstate travel? Every trucker hates the D.O.T. both state and Fed. Everything a driver needs can be found at an exit. What do travelers do when they exit the interstate? Spend money thats what. All those businesses will be screaming bloody murder. Go ahead wreck interstate travel- Lucifers Children will not be spared the impact. They cant do anything for themselves. Starve them.
Thee Democrats are like parasites that have infected the body politic.
No wonder they hate Ivermectin which is an anti-parasite drug.
good point!
Sundance- CTH! -this article/blog was spectacular. As I’ve grown accustomed to GREAT insight, great referencing, great viewpoints (and great comments!)…
this was a new high, just imvho. A fantastic summation of the famed (among some), oft spoken of ‘Chinese long view/plan’.
They do not mind taking it slow- the Great Wall was not built in a day and could never be taken down, as such.
Their goal (not just the CCP/PRC, but RIGHT here) is to build the Great Wall here- between us and them.
/salute, Sundance and crew. I cannot help but be thankful for this article- and I promise it IS and WILL BE shared.
I hope all you Treepers are doing the same. Just a hope, yes. But I hope you’re spreading the Word. Spread the Light.
Benedicta omni in tu Lux, Deus. Id est Bonum. (Bless everyone in your Light, Lord. It is Good.)
Just a minor correction: Deus = God; Dominus = Lord
Or online.
Both of her hands are in fists! Who is she?
Obviously she feel threatened by Creepy Joe – that is not a position in which you hold your hands in conversation.
Build Back Better for who??
I don’t want to build back better (and nobody I know does either). I just want to be left alone. But if I can’t be left alone, and if those who wish to BBB insist on harassing, haranguing and even terrorizing me with their neo-Marxist filth, then they leave me no alternative but to resist–by any means necessary.
“…but what we cannot determine is how the larger American electorate will respond to these encroachments.”
^ Let me help you out, there will be more MAGA rallies; RINOs replaced; more audits to get the fraud out of our elections and a subsequent red wave victory displacing Democrats from office; lots more corruption exposed, etc…
“…but what we cannot determine is how the larger American electorate will respond to these encroachments.”
I don’t think it’s a mattrt IF they will respond, but a matter of when and the degree of violence it will take.
Has this story been posted on CTH yet? I just found it on another website and wanted to get it out to as many people as possible. Thought about sending it to Senator Paul’s office? Kind of looks like something that he might find VERY interesting…

Nothing but truth here. And let us not forget the puppet in the Vatican, the man purposely placed there in conjunction with the global players:
MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Dear brothers and sisters,
This year’s celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is an occasion to express my closeness to those experiencing situations of particular difficulty during the crisis caused by the pandemic. All of us are in the same boat in the midst of a turbulent sea that can frighten us. Yet in this same boat, some of us are struggling more; among them are persons with serious disabilities.
The theme of this year’s celebration is “Building Back Better: Toward a Disability-inclusive, Accessible and Sustainable post-COVID-19 World”. I find the expression “building back better” quite striking. It makes me think of the Gospel parable of the house built on rock or sand (cf. Mt 7:24-27; Lk 6:46-49). So I take this special occasion to share some reflections based on that parable.
Interesting, the “pope” doesn’t even refer to God or the lord or Jesus in his statement. Yet manages to invoke the communist tag line. These people are so obviously evil beings.
The jesuit sect of Catholicism has always been communist. See Tim Kaine for example.
More (predictable) disappointment from Francis-but I repeat myself

Pope Frankie … christianity with a “wink”!
This experiement will fail, but the cost of so many. God help us all.
Question. Who here wants to participate in America anymore? What I mean by that is mainstream American society. Put the government aside for a minute. When you go the grocery store and the majority of the people there won’t even move their cart out of the middle of the isle out of politeness. What does that say? The absolute glutinous nature of your fellow Americans is a sight to behold. Me,me, me! Look around and honestly ask that question.
I say, win people to Christ. Try and grow your own food, try and get out of debt. Build networks with your neighbors. Homeschool your kids.
That’s how parallel systems are built.
That’s why they are vaccinating even kids now. Because the me me me generation are obsessed with transhumanism..
You should not be in debt in the first place, and a house is not debt.
Your sentiment is shared in many places.
The wife and me were just out for an evening ride in our old truck.
The Bichon/poodle ruler of the home, was on her lap.
We had just discussed for the umteenth time much of what you have written.
For at least twenty years we have considered “the worst” knowing governments would fail society ( they always have)
We had no idea it would be a fake plague.
We are sitting pretty good, and can get through this.
We are not a church goers
We are believers in Gods will however.
He has something in mind, the not knowing is unnerving at times.
But we have a choice Faith or Fear..we are going the faith route.
Cheers to all!
Good to hear brother! Faith is the way! If I could say anything, there are those around you that can benefit from your knowledge. The relationship can be reciprocal. We can be lights in others lives when they have none. God bless my friend.
Beyond Senator Paul beating up another sloj/obamalama lackey, what are we going to get out of it?
Yup,
I’d be more impressed with the good senator if he was organizing the forensic audit state efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
He, along with the other republican senators, could be having press conferences everyday updating Americans on the process that is occurring.
He could be marshaling the resources at the state level to accelerate the forensic audits.
But, we know they are all in on the coup ….. either as card carrying communists or fellow-traveling kissing cousins, therefore we ignore their fed-centric actions and put our resources and time at the local / state level.
JMO, would suggest all MAGAs do the same.
Isn’t Bercerra the guy who “lost” the DNC hard drive that “proved” they were hacked by the Russians?
I believe he lost the DCCC sever that the Awan Bros actually stole
I am surprised that no one with natural immunity has filed a class-action lawsuit against Biden’s mandate.
There are members of the US Military that have filed suit over exactly that.
Who will her it? Certainly not the S.C.
There are a few suits based on Natural Immunity that I know of. I am myself thinking of doing so – but it seems the general advice is for now to go for an exemption and then file suit if denied and facing “constructive” termination.
The New Civil Liberties Union (NCLU) has a case against one of the Universities, want to say Michigan, but could be wrong. A professor won his suit brought by NCLU against his University – George Mason.
A doctor is bringing suit against University of California based on natural immunity as well.
For all intents and purposes, America is being both invaded (200,000 + / month) and occupied by a tyrannical foreign power (Democrat Politicians).
Good thing we have a military as in every country its Job Number One is to protect against these things.
Well, except one country, that is.
Yup, being destroyed from both within and without. But mostly from within as it is the job of those within to protect the country from those without, but unfortunately those within have intentionally abdicated their Constitutional responsibilities to protect us from those without.
.
I’m starting to fantasize about building guillotines…
.
Actually that never helped the French.
The Lady of Justice will possess them in her breathtaking, hair raising bed
She will tingle each spine as she captures each heart and each head!
Czar of HHS, Xavier Becerra has a BA in economics and a JD from Stanford. He was elected as state rep and US rep (D-CA) and was appointed California AG to replace Harris when she was selected for senate. Xavier has no science or medical training, however his wife is a doctor, so maybe some knowledge rubbed off on him.
did he also stay at a Holiday Inn
So I am streaming a movie which has ads. I just watched an ad for ready.gov/plan saying people need to be ready for disasters and during the Coronavirus effort and have a plan. They talked of having a kit with wipes, disinfectant, etc.
…and to be ready in case of quarantine efforts.
Just wow.
https://www.ready.gov/plan
Wow. I guess it really is a thing.
Look at the wipes container. Kills 99%. They have to tell the truth. It’s part of their rules. Their rules let them do anything they want as long as they let everyone in on the scam. They enjoy this-telling the truth yet many can’t even see what is going on when it’s right in front of them. They laugh in our faces. The 99% are not germs.
I wonder if this build back better is a metaphor of a homosexual lover of a president “Becoming” a full on transvestite/transgender, just asking for a friend.
“Becoming” was the name of Michael’s best selling book.
Except the Obamas have children though. A male-to-tranny can’t have children.
if the kenyan can fake a passport and be shoehorned into the presidency by the sea i eh and the deep state having fake kids would be a breeze, no
Neither of the kids look like their parents.
Actually, the kids do look like the parents. I’m going to have to disagree with you on that.
Neither of the children show any of the standard hereditary markers that would suggest they’re Barack’s children. Ears, nose, and lips all have classic telltale shapes that are inherited genetically. They could very well be Mike’s kids, given how much plastic surgery he’s had there’d be no way to know. My money is on adopted.
Wrong. The ears, nose, and lips look the parents along with everything else. Now, that said I have to admit it’s uncanny how much Obama’s wife resembles pictures of that guy.
What is happening in Australia is happening in California and NY.
I see double 00 buck is back in stock, hmmm

Can’t one Senator put a hold on nominations in perpetuity? Seems like Rand needs to hold the administration accountable by approving no nominations until the covid scare tactics are erased and all restrictions rescinded.
Anything short of that is fake.
The answer is staring us in the face.
A civil war with lots of tall lamposts at the end.
I fully intend to be on the winning side… standing on the ground, smoking a cigar when the smoke clears and looking up the lamp posts. And this becerro is gonna be on the other side.
Being from Calimexistan, I know who this cabron Becerra is.
Do you know that in Castilian, ‘becerro” means “calf”. IMHO, I should write to the Spanish Academy of Letters and recommend that “becerra” should mean “pendejo“.
Thank you again Senator Rand Paul for speaking out. After being attacked several times. Having 6 ribs broken and
a collapsed lung . Thank you for standing up for us !
THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR US, ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL OTHER REPUBLICAN SENATOR ARE MUTE, SEEM TO BE HIDING UNDER THEIR DESKS. COMPLITLY COMPLICIT AND OR COWERED TO THE END. !
SCUM BE ALL OF THE OTHERS THAT DO NOT SPEAK UP FOR US AGAINST THIS TIRANY !
Becerra yesterday. Newsom today. Pelosi everyday. All California crazies that are infecting the entire nation.
True, but we have Nunes though.
What a scam! And the sad and pathetic aspect of it all is that ~ half the American population is falling all over themselves to Obey the mandates of their reckless, ruthless and criminal overlords imposing Medical Tyranny.
They truly are beyond brainwashed! I do not know how we help them “get clear”. But we must find a way.
Baccera was a real gem in California. A communist, anti-American hack of the lowest order.
It makes you wonder exactly why they’re so insistent on trying to force people to get this so-called vaccine. Is it really just to exert their control (Do as I say or pay the consequences.) or something more involved? If the vaccine was really so great, why are most new “cases” of COVID among fully vaccinated people? Remember, “breakthrough case” is just another way of saying the vaccine doesn’t work the way you were told it would.
And THAT is the $64K question….WHY are the powers that be SO damned insistent that we all have to get this jab, even as other countries are completely doing away with ALL “c0v1d” regulations? Is it purely political, purely financial, or a combination of both? Cause it sure as He** doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with our health or safety!!
Isn’t it funny how they started the BBB mantra before we had COVID to build back from? How convenient.
Don’t forget the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, Merrick Garland . . .
of all the departments in the cabinet each doing their job to carry out this agenda, is there a hierarchy, a chain of command, one person – that is, a department secretary, cracking the whip on all the others?
if so, might that be Merrick Garland?
He started early at the age of fifteen, learning all about setting up a totalitarian state, from giving it a name (“Mitto”) to learning how to rule the world with the help of computers . . . it was just a seminar but he looks like the most serious-minded of the group . . .
did he learn how to network and make powerful connections as he applied all of his abilities to learn this totalitarian concept in a serious way, while the others perhaps viewed it as just a seminar that would look good on their college applications . . perhaps young Merrick saw this as a route to success, as a guy who knew how to make this “Mitto” a reality, if anyone “big” was interested . . .
or was he realizing what a dangerous possibility this was to our nation and thus resolved to be a mole in a system where someday he could scuttle the entire project and save the country?
After reading and researching daily, I am inclined to agree.
Rolling my eyes, shaking my head.
Sad!

Rand should have asked the commie what kinds of kick backs he is getting from the pharmaceuticals.
We are in the “Civil War of the 21st Century”; just look all around you and reflect on your life from December 2019 to present.
It’s all there in black and white, easily read.
My husband and I, (retired in our 70’s) sit on our patio with an adult beverage at the end of everyday. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we reflect, sometimes we snark, sometimes we are just silent.
Tonight we chatted about this very situation and we did agree we are indeed in the midst of a Civil War and a completely divided country. Red -vs- Blue.
Luckily, we were prescient enough back in 2010 to see what was going on and made plans to move from Big Blue to Big Red in 2014 permanently. Not one day of regret, other than having to deal with certain business obligations that seem to never end in Big Blue.
My point is this: Look around you, decide if you can live through adversity, make the appropriate arrangements and move forward and do NOT look back. Make the most out of everyday of the life that God is blessing each and every one of us with. Even when it is cloudy in the morning down here on the lake in the woods; there is always sunlight shining before the sun sets. That feature alone did it for me when making our final decision to leave our Blue State Home of 48 years, where is was grey, cold, and dreary more than 50% of the time.
We were lucky and made a wise move.
Even on bad days, there are no regrets.
I hope you vote Republican[in the generic sense].PS has nothing to do with Red and Blue, they are one and the same. You both are very patient people,”final decision to leave our Blue State Home of 48 years, where is was grey, cold, and dreary more than 50% of the time.”
Simply another anti-American foreigner who infiltrated our government. Natural Born Citizen needs to extend to ALL of government – Federal, State, and Local.
Becerra is an arrogant Bully and Criminal to the core. Becerra is a mendacious, venal, duplicitous snake in the grass. To say the very least.
For anyone who has doubts, it’s Susan Rice running the show… When she walks into ANY meeting it’s the same as if Obama is in the room… furthermore, everyone on the left and in the media operative crowd know this is going on… They all think Biden/Harris are a clown squad, they all know it’s Rice running the planning and implementation of Obama’s lefty utopia…
Build Back Better.
