Friends, this stuff baffles me on many levels.   All around the nation various local media outlets are reporting on this massive influx of people getting tested, or trying to get tested, for COVID-19.  Miles and miles of people suddenly lining up for COVID tests everywhere, it’s weird.

The media is pushing the testing aspect hard right now and hitting the Biden administration for not having a federal system in place to facilitate this massive influx of people needing COVID tests.  Without a doubt, that narrative is why Biden told the media today the states have to solve the issue on their own. [More on that later]

In the interim, I asked the question on the Twitter about why people would be lining up for hours to get a COVID test now. What’s the reason?   Most of the responses are generally of the same mindset as the original question with people also wondering why.  I can identify only a few generally valid reasons, and even then, something still doesn’t make sense.

♦ Some people are required to take a test for work, and with the mandates now beginning to kick in, that seems to make sense.  However, does this mean people have to stand in line for hours before every shift?  [feel free to chime in on this one]

♦ Some people are required to take a test to travel to a destination that requires a negative test.  Again, that seems to make sense, I guess.  However, it still seems silly from the perspective of testing is unlikely to stop any infection that can happen at any given moment.

Other than ‘being required’ to take a test for the two reasons above, why would anyone take one?

On one hand, the Omicron variant of the Rona is so dangerous that forced vaccinations are mandated, thereby eliminating medical autonomy and freedom for all mankind.  On the other hand, the Omicron variant of the Rona quarantine time is being reduced from fourteen days to five.

From the perspective of the global governing elite, a widespread Omicron variant might disrupt their services…. Something must be done.

(Via Wall Street Journal) – Government leaders are adjusting recommended quarantine periods to minimize workforce shortages and scrambling to boost testing capacity to limit the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday that critical workers—including those in education, healthcare, transportation, grocery stores and sanitation—who tested positive for the virus will be allowed to return to work after five days under certain conditions.

[…]  Those returning will need to remain masked, Ms. Hochul said. “We need you again, we need you to be able to go to work,” Ms. Hochul added.

New York state’s move comes after the U.K. shortened its quarantine period to seven days for vaccinated people, and some airline executives wrote to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeking an adjustment in agency isolation guidelines to avoid disruptions to operations.

Someone, anyone… please tell me you can see the problem here.

Canadian railway officials have a rather familiar method to segregate passengers and identify authorized vaccinated citizens who are traveling in railroad cars:

I do not know which is worse, that the railway line would put yellow stickers on people as they board railroad cars, or that someone would ask: “How should we identify vaccinated passengers?”, and an actual response would be, “Hey, I’ve got an idea“…..

Somewhere, someone -or some group of consensus marketing folks- made a decision to approve a marketing and branding campaign for booster shots in Great Britian.   Here’s what they came up with:

What exactly is the forward messaging here?

Think about it.

The direct implication would appear to be that ‘once you get on the Ronacoaster you cannot get off until the ride’s over; and the ride will never be over’.

Apparently.

A little poke in the ribs this Christmastime.   When Joe and Jill were holding their NORAD call with kids and families preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus, a father named Jared handed a little Christmas jab to the White House promotors of “a season of death.”

As Jared wished the Biden’s a merry Christmas he remarked, “Don’t forget, let’s go Brandon”, and Joe agreed.  LOL.  The moment happens at 07:10 in the video below, prompted:

I first wrote about the great purposeful foreboding last year.  I never thought it would apply to a second advent.  Essentially, this foreboding narrative stems from a political message promoted this year by a godless joy-sucking White House: “A winter of death” awaits the unvaccinated.  Seriously?

Seriously!  Stop for a minute. Just stop.

Stop and think about the purpose of that narrative, and then ask yourself, are you succumbing to it?

This is the day of great joy, the greatest joy of all.  A day when we celebrate a loving and purposeful blessing provided to us by our Creator.  The universal truth. The pure perfection of a loving Child born in the most ordinary fashion for us, to us, to guide and share the most blessed and purposeful message that could ever be delivered to mankind:  You are Loved.

Pause amid the human distractions.  That message of love is pure.

Stop and sit in peace, and join together in the joy.

Yes, it is true, all around us is this great sense of foreboding ugh, and it’s not just connected to a virus; it’s everything before and everything since.  Everything being created around us is weird, everything created around us is less comfortable, everything created around us is intended to project less joy – and as a consequence, it requires an intensity of thought just to carry on ordinary events.

Christmas, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is tonight and tomorrow. Yet, almost everything created around us seems purposefully placed to distract from that joy – and focus our attention on what joy we are missing. At the heart of that effort is an anxiety, a sense of foreboding. A sense of fear and worry, and a sense of trepidation.

In our daily lives, we encounter ordinary disconnects now. Masked faces are disconnecting our sense of interaction, our human connection. Unfortunately, and as a natural outcome of these challenges, we are accepting disconnect and creating a void inside ourselves. At the same time, COVID is physically disconnecting people from their families.

Many families will not gather this year to celebrate the joyous event of Christ’s birth. Many parents and grandparents will not see their adult children for the first time in years, perhaps ever.  Many destabilized families are disconnecting as they succumb to fractures, instructions, created by people who appointed themselves as leaders.

It is almost unbelievable when you contemplate the damage.   Politicians, yes P.O.L.I.T.I.C.I.A.N.S, have created terms and conditions, instructions for you and me, with the expectation that somehow we will adhere to their fiats or accept their aspersions.

I reject this.

This is weirdly revealing (Hat Tip Technofog).

In a court filing today by Special Counsel John Durham [pdf here] it’s noted that previously indicted Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source for Christopher Steele’s fraudulent dossier against Donald Trump, is now represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton’s legal interests.  John Durham is asking the court to evaluate the legal conflicts:

(pdf Here)

Why would the legal firm representing Hillary Clinton (to the Durham probe) step-in to represent Igor Danchenko in his criminal indictment?

The only logical reason would be for Danchenko to represent a legal risk to the interests of Hillary Clinton, likely through the direct association between Hillary Clinton and Charles Dolan, Danchenko’s collaborator and the liaison to Chris Steele from the Clinton campaign.

As a result of the Durham indictment, we know Igor Danchenko was working closely with Democrat Party public relations executive Charles Dolan to funnel the fabricated source material to Chris Steele.  The Clinton team’s communication and contact with Charles Dolan would represent a legal risk to Hillary Clinton.

If Charles Dolan and Hillary Clinton were in communication, it seems like that would be the motive for Clinton’s lawyers to want to control Danchenko’s legal status and any statements to John Durham or the court.  More than likely, the people in/around Hillary Clinton are the ones paying the law firm to represent Igor Danchenko.

Mitch McConnell has a long history of using dirty tricks to target grassroots Republicans who do not fit his view of the Senate.

Readers will long remember McConnell’s dirty and underhanded tricks in the 2014 Senate Race in Mississippi, when his DeceptiCons crew targeted candidate Chris McDaniel in order to protect a brutally senile McConnell ally, Senator Thad Cochran.  McConnell, working with a very corrupt Haley Barbour, paid Mississippi Democrats to vote for Cochran after McDaniel successfully forced a run-off election by gaining more votes in the primary race.   The dirty “racist” accusations in the election were typical of McConnell tactics. {Go Deep}

Well, now it appears McConnell’s little Decepticon cronies are back at it with presumptive attacks against likely Georgia Senate candidate Hershel Walker.  Mr. Walker is a well known sports icon and a strong supporter of President Trump.  Walker is very much MAGA-minded, which makes him a target for the DeceptiCon establishment crew.

As noted by an article a few months ago, President Trump really wants Hershel Walker to run: …“It is abundantly clear to all Republicans how badly Trump and his family want Herschel Walker to run. Publicly, the former president has encouraged Walker to run against Warnock. But his behind-the-scenes push has been even more robust. In recent weeks, Trump has personally asked GOP senators to call Walker and urge him to get in the race, according to two people familiar with those conversations.”

The level of support by President Trump would position Walker as a shoo-in for the 2022 GOP primary, which puts Trump and Walker in an adversarial position to Mitch McConnell who wants another controlled member like former Senator Kelly Loeffler.  It is not accidental that Loeffler’s husband owns the New York stock exchange; yup, the GOPe wing of the UniParty loves their Wall Street candidates.

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.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

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 †
