During a press conference today to push vaccines as the primary mitigation effort against COVID-19 ‘delta variant’ [full video here], New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told private businesses to start a vaccine-only admission practice.

Cuomo said he thinks implementing “vaccine-only admission” will help incentivize New Yorkers to get inoculated. “If you say to people, ‘Well, if you don’t have a vaccine, you can’t get into these establishments,’ then you will see a real incentive to get vaccinated,” he said. WATCH:

The Ugly New Yorker

The attitude displayed in this brief soundbite is exactly the reason why many people in the land of freedom have a horrible opinion of New Yorkers in general.  The self-centered arrogance and condescending tone on display is ugly to many people, myself included.  This attitude is why people don’t want New Yorker’s moving to their area.

My vaccination status is none of your business.  If you want to live in fear then stay home.  Your paranoia is not my concern.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I’m more worried about what is happening behind the scenes in the non-COVID universe while everyone is distracted by the purposeful weaponization of the healthcare institutions.  It’s the other thing, the unseen activity, that is most troublesome when the leftists are this entrenched on a singular narrative.

In this clip from Anthony Fauci on ABC This Week Sunday [Rumble Link], the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, claims that individual rights no longer exist during the era of COVID-19.  When you consider the mindset of the far-left, his opinion on communal rights -vs- individual rights is right in line with the collectivist perspective.  These people are dangerous.

“The fact is, if you get infected, even if you are without symptoms, you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable … So in essence, you are encroaching on their individual rights.”

It appears from the visible evidence, the Delta variant of COVID-19 may well be more transmissible; perhaps even more transmissible due to increased shedding from people who are vaccinated carriers of the virus.  However, the death rate is lower than the traditional flu.

All of these extreme mitigation efforts appear constructed to protect against something that just doesn’t carry the scale of risk that would match the severity of alarm we are bombarded with.   If you turn off the television, disconnect from corporate media and tune-out these alarmist proclamations, life appears to be carrying along just fine.

When Donald J Trump entered politics in 2015, the RNC club -then headed by Reince Priebus- was dismissive.  The RNC club was/is an echo-chamber of big donor and corporate influence.  However, the blue-collar message carried by Donald Trump resonated with middle-America.  The forgotten men, women and families responded in more ways than the immediate (and never diminishing) first place in the polls, they opened their checkbooks.

The scale of response from the MAGA supporters was unknown to the Club during their early 2016 efforts to position, Rubio, Cruz and eventually Kasich to take down the crass vulgarian.   However, despite the Club’s earnest efforts, Donald Trump was indefatigable and his supporters were unfazed by the corporate media attacks.

If any issue ever highlighted the disconnect between the RNC club and the base of voters they claimed to represent, the campaign support for Donald Trump and the America-First agenda was a case study.

Then something happened…. in March and April of 2016, the club began having to accept that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee.  The people behind MAGA were not going to leave him.

As a result of the Republican club’s terms and conditions, the RNC President, Reince Priebus, got his first look at the Trump campaign books.  For the first time, the RNC president saw the number of people who contributed to the campaign account of Donald Trump.  That was the club inflection point.

The RNC had never seen the number of donations, small donations, for a single presidential candidate, ever.  The most shocking statistic was not the amount of money raised by Trump, but the sheer number of donors supporting him.  Trump’s MAGA donor base file became the most valuable commodity the RNC club had ever seen.

The vast majority of these small donors had never appeared on any donor filings before.  These were the hidden voters, the monster voters, the people who never previously engaged in politics or financially supported a political candidate before.

THESE were the MAGA voters.  These were the millions of previously invisible middle-Americans who finally had someone they could support. They finally had a candidate who was talking about their issues, the issues of the working class.

Generally speaking, the working-class Mexicans support Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador (AMLO), but find themselves frustrated by his seemed naivete about the scale of internal corruption.  AMLO is in a tough spot, because of the corrupt influence of cartel money combined with the influence of multinational corporations taking advantage of his nation.

President Lopez-Obrador and President Trump found their common partnership easy, because the Trump doctrine was essentially supporting the authentic voice of the Mexican people; while asking for help on specific issues (border security).

President Trump supported America-First, and President Lopez-Obrador supported Mexico-First; neither Trump nor AMLO put corporate needs in front of their citizens.

The United States, Mexico-Canada trade Agreement (USMCA) was built upon that foundation.  However, the CoC multinationals were unhappy about the overall USMCA agreement, because it did not protect them from economic nationalism.

Economic nationalism is exactly what President Lopez-Obrador is attempting to leverage against Big Agriculture, specifically Monsanto Inc, and we support it 100%.

The Counter – […] On December 31, 2020, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador signed a decree that could enable Mexican farmers to reclaim their livelihoods within their home country. The order calls for the phase-out by 2024 of two pillars of American agribusiness: glyphosate and genetically engineered (GE) corn, particularly corn grain consumed as part of “the diet of Mexican women and men.”

President Trump notes the challenge faced inside a political party that constructs club rules to protect the club members. The same issue outlined in Wyoming is also facing constituents in Alaska.

The MAGA majority will have to find a way to pre-filter the primary challengers, because if we don’t, the RNC Club’s ‘splitter strategy’ works to protect them on a state level.

President Trump – “Voters in the Great State of Wyoming want clear majority winners in elections, and the only mechanism that accomplishes majority victors is a Run-Off Election, pitting the top two candidates against each other.

Conservative Republicans in the Wyoming State Legislature like Senator Bo Biteman and Representative Chip Nieman led this effort. Unfortunately and sadly for Wyoming voters, RINO State Legislators stood in the way, defeating the Run-Off Election bills.

The easiest way to defeat Deplorable Liz Cheney is by having only ONE Conservative candidate run and WIN! Wyoming Patriots will no longer stand for Nancy Pelosi and her new lapdog RINO Liz Cheney!” (link)

Some of the most important mid-term voting is not going to take place in November, but rather in the early year 2022 primaries.  Check your voter registration and state party construct for open, closed or blended primary rules based on your state party organization.  Make sure you have a voice in selecting the candidate during the primaries.

It’s always there, right below the conservative veneer; and if you wait, it surfaces.  This tweet highlights the difference between ‘conservative’ corporatism (traditional GOP class), and MAGA pragmatism (the blue collar dynamic).

The disconnect is found in the difference between what looks like a good ‘talking point’, and the reality of workers having to deal with the issue of mandated vaccinations in the workplace.  Just quit your job… not so easy in practice.

The SD Governor seems to overlook that entire sectors of the economy are impacted by federal rules, not just individual companies.  Hotel workers, restaurants, cooks and cleaners, mechanics, service industry writ large, are subject to forced business owner compliance with regulatory agencies.  When the federal government initiates a mandate, all businesses within that sector are hit with the mandate.  Switching jobs offers no security or escape from the mandate.

OSHA, the Dept. of Labor, the Dept. of Agriculture, and many other federal agencies create the system.  All private sector businesses regulated by those agencies end up forced to adhere to those rules and regulations.  Instead of targeting the solution on the employee, which to be fair does have some merit, leading political figures should be constructing their defense of workers by confronting the source of the underlying mandate; not the workers themselves.
