When Democrats want to pass legislation they will use any method available, including budgetary reconciliation to avoid the legislative threshold.  In an almost identical manner to the creation of Obamacare, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer once again used the ‘reconciliation process’ to initiate another massive expansion of government.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell pretends to gnash his teeth…

WASHINGTON – “[…] The Senate bill includes several changes from the version passed by the House last week. The House’s legislation would have increased the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which the Senate parliamentarian determined violated Senate rules. While Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) sought to overrule the parliamentarian and pass the minimum wage hike as an amendment to the package Friday, eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans in voting against it, a sign that it had no chance of passing.

A very bold statement from former White House Senior Advisor Peter Navarro on television this morning.  Appearing with Maria Bartiromo, Navarro said he “guarantees there will be at least three criminal indictments” as a result of the Durham investigation.

Navarro also shares that President Trump’s CPAC speech will be a “full-throated defense of populist economic nationalism”, and Navarro eviscerates a host of internal advisors who he views as not being in alignment with the priorities of the America First agenda.

Saying ‘we toldyaso‘ is never a good look; however, sometimes -as with the 2015 splitter strategy within the big club- and in combination with the preceding prediction, it is the only way to convince people to accept the reality of how Machiavellian the professional political class, the DC elite, has become.  [Graphic Source]

As we contemplate the $1.9 trillion state and union bailout bill that JoeBama and Nancy Pelosi are presenting, it is worth looking back to December 5, 2020, when CTH predicted the exact path Biden and Pelosi would travel.

“The Election Fraud, The Usefulness of COVID and The Big Picture“

[…] The COVID-19 narrative becomes a tool to achieve a variety of objectives: debate controls; the deployed ‘excuse‘ for a very visible lack of voter enthusiasm for the puppet (Biden); the use of fraudulent ‘mail-in ballots’; the keeping of socially distant physical auditors, etc.  Without COVID as a tool the manufactured process is more difficult. The ‘never let a crisis go to waste‘ strategy includes the creation of a crisis.

Why? – Why all of this effort?… why such extremes?… why would blue state governors willingly destroy their economy?….  Follow the money, it’s always about the money.

[Hat Tip John Fredricks, for the meeting particulars]  The Forsyth County, Georgia, republican party held a meeting to discuss why their senate candidates failed to win the run-off election in January.  The screenshot of their justification is a case study in why the republican apparatus fails, and why the challenge to reform the party is so difficult.

First, it is important to filter through what is described as the “Tea Party” support base within the professional republican apparatus.  Genuine Tea Party outlooks are in total alignment with the MAGA perspectives of Donald Trump.  However, there are elements within the republican party that are more traditionally GOPe-minded and yet assign themselves to the outlook of the Tea Party. There is a difference, but more on that in a moment.  Here’s how the Forsyth County political activists are explaining:

Notice, the Forsyth County GOP blame-cast against the base of voters by identifying people they view as outside the party interest.  They blame libertarians, populists, Trump, Steve Bannon, John Fredricks and even the candidates themselves which includes Doug Collins for being too outside the base of voter enthusiasm.  This view tells us what the mindset of the internal republican network in Forsyth County is !!

Do not just dismiss their justification as presented.  CTH warned in 2014 and 2015 this ideological outlook, this disconnect from the reality of the base, would lead to a big problem…. and it has.  I shall provide a concrete example below of just how dangerous this fracture is within our constitutional republic.  The reason we need more trumpet.

As a person who has traveled extensively in the past decade+ to engage the base of middle-class support that represents MAGA, I can attest that the disconnect between the republican party apparatus and the base of voters they depend on is a severe problem. Without correction… there is no alternative other than to create a THIRD party.

The scale of false narrative engineering by Dr. Fauci is quite literally stunning when you stand back and look at the bigger picture behind the narrative engineering around COVID-19 and the threat it represents.

Within this interview Fauci-Mengele claims he has not seen his adult children because it is a risk. This is full-blown Pravda-level manipulation toward the viewing audience.  There is no level of fear that needs to be this great from the virus.

Take Florida as an example; the entire state is essentially open, people are engaged, there is physical interaction at all levels of human contact, and there is no extreme death or outbreak pattern related. The false and exaggerated stories just do not reconcile with the reality amid a population of more than 19 million, with massive inbound residential visits from all 50 states. Nothing is happening and life is essentially normal.

Additionally, Fauci claims masks may be needed into some unknown future, again because of some fearful determinations that have absolutely no basis on fact.  This is propaganda.

Senior Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the dangerous immigration policy of JoeBama and the next steps in President Trump’s future working on the MAGA agenda.  Ms. Bartiromo discusses the 3,500+ border apprehensions daily along the Texas, Arizona and Southern California border area.

Mr. Miller noted he has been in recent conversations with President Trump (likely speech writing instructions), about the outline for the upcoming speech the people’s president will deliver to the CPAC audience next Sunday.

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.

The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.  Yes, it really is that simple.  WATCH:

Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.

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.”

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.”

In this episode of American Thought Leaders, Jan Jekielek sat down with classicist and historian Victor Davis Hanson to discuss the rise of critical social justice and woke ideology, growing limits on freedom of speech, and his take on the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

“It’s like a public-shaming like the Communist Party used to make people wear dunce caps,” Hanson says.
