‘Heels-up’ Harris made the ridiculous claim that the Trump administration did nothing to set up the JoeBama administration with a COVID vaccine plan.  During an introduction segment for Larry Kudlow’s new Fox Business show, the former National Economic Council Chairman took exception during a hot-mic moment.  The generally affable Kudlow can be heard to say: “bulls**t” while off camera.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss how the state is able to balance COVID mitigation and still keep the economy open for people to work and make a living.  DeSantis notes the threats from the Biden administration to institute a travel ban on Florida are unconstitutional.

As Governor DeSantis notes schools have been open for in-person tuition all year and almost all businesses are operating without issue.  Millions of people are flowing into the Sunshine state as they flee the totalitarian dictates from Democrat governors.

Additionally DeSantis outlines the issues with Big Tech capturing confidential information from Floridan’s cell phones.  The privacy issues are being addressed by the FL legislature.

.

Governor Ron DeSantis is the leading candidate to carry the mantle of the MAGA community.  A commonsense outlook and a pragmatic approach toward retaining all inherent freedoms and liberties are the smart cornerstone of DeSantis policy.

An interesting article within the New York Post outlines a phone call by an aide to NY Governor Andrew Cuomo who admitted to covering-up the statistics of deaths from nursing homes.

Cuomo’s administration was scared the DOJ would use the information to arrest them.

NEW YORK – Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

Yesterday it was widely reported the JoeBama administration was considering federal intervention to restrict travel into and out-of Florida. Essentially a travel ban.  Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discussed the position of his state during a segment of a COVID update press conference from Port Charlotte, Florida. WATCH:

“Restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce.”

The usurpation of our constitutional republic continues at a staggering rate.  The latest display of leftist policy in action finds the Biden administration considering travel restrictions upon Florida due to COVID while releasing over 1,000 illegal border-crossers into the U.S. without concern for the pandemic spread.

ARIZONA […]  In recent days, more than 1,000 people who had been detained after crossing into the U.S. have been released into the country in a reversal of the Trump administration’s near-shutdown of the border. Many more people are gathering on the Mexican side, setting up a test of America’s ability and willingness to admit migrants during a pandemic.

On Thursday in Mexicali, across from Calexico, Calif., migrants could be seen trying to scale a border fence. A migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, just across a bridge from Texas, has grown to 1,000 people over the past few weeks.

Friend of the TreeHouse John Spiropoulos provides some more examples of how COVID is hurting small businesses while local and state government seem oblivious to their plight. John notes these are real people, middle-America, not statistics, that are hit by policies and regulations that local officials dictate often by fiat.

As John shares: “This is another in our ongoing series of reports on the adverse impact of government China Virus restrictions on small business and their employees. This is the story of a Flagstaff, Arizona businessman that invested nearly his entire life savings in a business that was hit hard by restrictions imposed by the state government.”

.

“This next story features a Phoenix, Arizona business owner that began his business when he was laid off by his previous employer.  This features a start up air conditioning business in Phoenix. One of the owners was laid off at the beginning of the China Virus crisis, so he decided to team up with an associate and launch his own business. They’re making a go of it.”

The vast majority of the Florida economy is essentially open and not impacted by the COVID-19 virus and state mitigation efforts.  Factually visitors to Florida are stunned at the seemingly little impact the COVID scamdemic is having on the state.  Everyone is going about their business as normal enjoying freedom, and there is no undue chaos or concern.

The common sense within Florida, the lack of actual economic damage and the absence of panic amid the citizenry, is adverse to the interests of those who have weaponized the fear of COVID to attain power and control over compliant citizens.  Governor Ron DeSantis is considered a rebellious troublemaker who must be dealt with by JoeBama’s Federal agencies and authorities.

Today the Miami Herald is reporting that Joe Biden officials are contemplating using federal authority to restrict travel in to and out of Florida as a way to punish the sunshine state for their refusal to align with the fear-mongering compliance authority:

MIAMI – The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.

[…] “we’re having conversations about anything that would help mitigate spread,” the official said, referring to discussions about new travel restrictions that could target the spread of the U.K. mutation in Florida.

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg (aka Alfred E Newman), made a rather stunning statement during an Axios interview today.

When discussing domestic travel and transportation as it related to COVID-19, the transportation secretary said: “there is an active conversation within the CDC now” about requiring COVID tests prior to air travel inside the United States.

This ridiculous position was unfortunately one of the issues CTH predicted might happen.

COVID is not a virus inasmuch as it is an opportunity to achieve social-change goals advocated by the far-left.  Remember, one key element within the Green New Deal was to ban airplanes altogether.

The kindergarten class of tree-shouting, algae-cake-eating, everything must be sustainable and stupid, ie. leftist moonbats, are the ones offering actual policy suggestions.

Florida’s MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis appears on Fox News to discuss how his state is dealing with the COVID-19 issues and keeping the economy open.  Visitors to Florida are shocked at how open the state is…. outside of the hospitality industry there are few signs that COVID is having any impact.

Florida home prices and real estate are/is skyrocketing in value as millions of people leave states that are heavily influenced by totalitarian government. The building industry in Florida is higher than ever before to meet continued and increasing demand.

Additionally, DeSantis discusses his recent confrontation with Big Tech censorship and manipulation.  The Florida legislature are finalizing laws that will allow residents to sue social media platforms for unfounded, unethical and ideological targeting.

Friend of the TreeHouse John Spiropoulos files a ground report to showcase some lesser contemplated impacts from the COVID-19 regulatory rules and restrictions.  As John shares:

“The larger story is the impact on their “customers” — young ballplayers. My report is about one small business involved in one sport in one state. The shutdowns have hurt every young player in every sport, tens of millions of them. Youth sports fulfill a vital role in a young person’s life, providing valuable life lessons. It matters not whether they make it to the “next level” or whether that’s even their desire.”
