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.

There is over a decade of deep research on Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce within this website.  It was Donohue who originated the cabal assembly we define as “DeceptiCons”.  The U.S. CoC has been the biggest lobbyist spender in Washington DC since globalism and support for Wall Street took priority.

Immediately after they admitted the U.S. CoC worked with Big Labor and leftists to try and remove President Trump, Tom Donohue announces his departure from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Via Axios – Board leadership at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is close to naming Thomas Donohue’s successor, and is expected to appoint Suzanne Clark as its next leader, people familiar with the matter tell Axios.

Why it matters: As CEO, Donohue, 83, built the chamber into a political powerhouse that supports pro-business policies, contributes huge sums largely to Republicans and promises to give its international and domestic members a voice in Washington.

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.”

Comrade Rebels, there is a considerable disparity amid the Republic when it comes to authoritarian dictates and various State Ministries of Covid Compliance. The California Ministry of COVID compliance has some of the most restrictive regulations in the nation; however, their Coronavirus cases have not abated.

Additionally, Comrade Newsom has previously claimed the virus is triggered by rebellious activity at certain times of the evening; and in specific locales.

However, there is no scientific data to validate the assumptions to support many municipalities having curfews and hours of operation to avoid the greater Rona threat later in the evening.

All of these issues. and the false-pretenses behind the regulations, have now created a backlash against the governor of the California.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER – A new poll conducted by the University of California at Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s job approval rating plummeted by 18 percentage points in three months. In October, he had a 49% approval rating; in January it dropped to 31%.

Also, 36% of respondents said they support the recall effort against Newsom, which has gained popularity among Democrats.

Roughly 31% of those polled said Newsom has done an excellent or good job in handling the coronavirus, down from 49% in September. (read more)

Friend of the TreeHouse John Spiropoulos spent time traveling around the country to get in-person interviews with people who have been impacted by the COVID shutdowns.

During his trip, John stopped in Arizona to meet with several businesses who have been impacted to share the real life outcomes of government policy.  These are people, not statistics.  These arbitrary COVID regulations are hurting families, loved-ones and middle-class people who are just trying to earn a living.

“”Brutal. Devastating.” That’s how small businesses describe the economic shutdowns imposed by state and local governments due to the China Virus. The shutdowns have forced the closure of tens of thousands of business and thrown millions of people out of work. This is one of a series of reports on the economic shutdowns. It features a report on Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, a chain of 50 restaurants.” ~John Spiropoulos

Thanks to your support, John has traveled 7,000 miles from California to Washington DC while interviewing patriots along the way.  Your financial support has been critical in helping to defer the costs of John’s ground reports.  GoFundMe Here – GiveSendGo Here

Above and below are the first three of John’s Let’s Roll America reports on the devastating impact of the state and local government restrictions on economic activity. One is about a pizza chain, another is a surgery center, a third is a hotel.  Also tomorrow we will share the story of kids in sports trying to get college scholarships or go pro. Later, there will be stories about mom’s dealing with the troubling isolation of their children.

For those of us familiar with the legal term “Disparate Impact” this report today will make sense.  However, if you don’t know that it is unlawful to hire an “ineligible” applicant, the DOJ action seems ridiculous, which it is.

[CTH Reference HERE and HERE]

Under legal interpretation rules of “Disparate Impact” it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens. If a company uses eligible (legal) work authorization status as a requirement on employment applications (when making hiring decisions), and if the use of legal work eligibility is used as a qualifier, and the eligibility (qualification) standards disqualify a protected class (nationality, ethnicity) at a disparate rate, then it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens.

Read the emboldened paragraph below carefully.

WASHINGTON DC – The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating SpaceX over whether the company discriminates against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring practices and said Elon Musk’s company is stonewalling a subpoena for information, court documents revealed Thursday.

The DOJ’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section received a complaint of employment discrimination from a non-U.S. citizen claiming that the company discriminated against him based on his citizenship status.

Stephen Miller appeared with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the impact of JoeBama’s blitz of executive orders in the first ten days of the administration.  Miller outlines how these more than 40 executive orders work to undermine the U.S. economy, U.S worker and ultimately U.S. national security.

Last night Tucker Carlson and Dave Portnoy discussed the merge between Wall Street and Big Tech to protect the hedgefunds from ‘We The People’.  Good outline:

It started with a bunch of smart ordinary Wall Street market watchers assembling on Reddit and noticing that hedgefunds were making millions destroying the stock value of GameStop (GME) -and others-  by short selling the stock and trading the position.

[Short Lesson to Understand Short-Selling Here]

The hedgefunds were so greedy the short-sellers borrowed more than 140% of the total number of shares of stock of GME (GameStop) in order to destroy it. The stock value dropped from $20 to $4 as the sharks made millions in the short-sells. That’s when the Reddit investment community,Wall Street Bets, noticed an opportunity.

One of the issues with short-selling is that short-sellers must always eventually purchase the stocks they borrowed.  That means if the stock value increases you are committed to buying it, you will lose money, and you cannot get away from the loss in your short-sell position so long as the stock value is high.

Knowing the borrowed shares were more than the total number of outstanding shares of the entire GME stock, the rebellious alliance knew the short-sellers (hedgefunds) would have to eventually buy them.  So the independent group, mass numbers of individual investors, started purchasing shares and driving up the GameStop stock value.
