A mom in Carmel, New York, has had enough and attends the school board meeting to confront the indoctrination of her children in school.  The board attempts to shut her down, even claiming that her speech is not peaceful, but she will not be silenced; and she has the receipts. This is epic…

May her tribe multiply…. and I’m pretty sure it will.

Ballot audits not withstanding, I doubt there is a bigger story that will surface this year and this one has familiar tentacles…

As the discussion surrounding the release of emails from Anthony Fauci ripples through the media, we should all consider carefully the consequential ramifications of the discussion upon our nation.  At the heart of the current debate is a question about whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated from a bio research lab in Wuhan China. An article in Vanity Fair magazine provides some stark background to contemplate:

[Excerpt] – […] In one State Department meeting, officials seeking to demand transparency from the Chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to U.S. government funding of it.

In an internal memo obtained by Vanity Fair, Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance, wrote that staff from two bureaus, his own and the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, “warned” leaders within his bureau “not to pursue an investigation into the origin of COVID-19” because it would “‘open a can of worms’ if it continued.”

[…] In late March, former Centers for Disease Control director Robert Redfield received death threats from fellow scientists after telling CNN that he believed COVID-19 had originated in a lab. “I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis,” Redfield told Vanity Fair. “I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect it from science.” (read more)

There are a lot of familiar institutions and people within the article highlighting just how political everything around the COVID outbreak became.  As a nation we have all lived through the consequences of these political manipulations.  However, the application of Occam’s razor can serve as a guide; and I think the data is aligning in one specific direction.

‘Heels up’ Harris took outsourcing to new levels of economic advocacy today directly from the White House.  This might be the first time a U.S. Vice President has ever asked U.S. companies not to invest in their own nation and instead to invest their money in Central America.   Spreading the wealth as a direct point of advocacy, and putting America last.

Page #7 from the DHS budget for Customs and Border Patrol shows a staggering cut in infrastructure spending on the U.S-Mexico border.

In total the budget is cut from over $1.5 Billion to less than $55 Million.  The border wall spending is cut from $1.3 billion to ZERO.

[Source pdf – Biden DHS Budget]

For an administration that keeps hyping the need for infrastructure spending, it would appear some infrastructure is more important than others.  National security infrastructure to secure the border is virtually eliminated.

“Papers, Comrade!”

Some said it wasn’t legal, others said private companies and businesses would not do it, well, regardless of legality – Oregon is doing it:

OREGON – Oregon has lifted its mask mandate for people who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, but is requiring businesses, workplaces and houses of worship to verify the vaccination status of individuals before they enter buildings without a mask.

This statewide mandate, one of the first of its kind in the country, raised concerns that the procedure of verifying vaccinations could be too cumbersome for workers.

[…] The Oregon Health Authority said in new guidance on Tuesday that effective immediately, businesses would be required to continue to enforce mask requirements unless they had established a policy to confirm proof of vaccination using a card or photo of one before individuals can enter the building without a mask.

Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, said last week that Oregonians who were fully vaccinated no longer needed to wear masks in most public settings, except in places like schools, public transit and health care settings.

But she quickly noted that businesses would have “the option” of lifting mask requirements only if they instituted verification. “Some businesses may prefer to simply continue operating under the current guidance for now rather than worrying about vaccination status, and that’s fine,” she said.

What makes this man a national treasure and hero is not just his military service, but his willingness to outline one of the true cancers -Marxism- that is undermining the military ability to function.  It is likely Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier knew what he was saying would mean his targeting and elimination, yet he said it anyway.

(Military.Com) A commander of a U.S. Space Force unit tasked with detecting ballistic missile launches has been fired for comments made during a podcast promoting his new book, which claims Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the United States military.

Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, was relieved from his post Friday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, over a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, Military.com has exclusively learned.

[…] Earlier this month, Lohmeier, a former instructor and fighter pilot who transferred into the Space Force, self-published a book titled “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.”

“Irresistible Revolution is a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces,” a description of the book reads. (continue reading)

It is interesting to compare and contrast the military reaction to Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier: “Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity,” against the lack of military reaction to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (Trump impeachment instigator) who was clearly undertaking “partisan political activity.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking the federal COVID bailout money to new levels of manipulated intent by using the funds to bail himself out of a recall that is based on the COVID dictates he initiated.

Thus part of the reason why the highly political federal agencies lifted the COVID rules surfaces.  Politically the blue state shutdowns were backfiring, and the ramifications were getting more serious by the day.

The CDC responded to the political shift against JoeBama and lifted their mandates.  Simultaneously, Governor Newsom goes on a spending spree in California to provide bailout money to all the favored leftist causes:

(Via AP) […] His budget released Friday was studded with initiatives favored by his progressive base, including $7.2 billion to pay off people’s outstanding rent and utility bills and $300 million to forgive traffic and other fines for lower-income residents. There also was $35 million to encourage local universal basic income programs and money to give Medicaid benefits to people 60 and older living in the country illegally. (read more)

Will this strategy work for Newsom this year and will it work for Democrats in 2022 mid-terms?…. Only time will tell.  However, the transparency of their political intent is as subtle as a brick through a window.

Over the past two weeks the common sense questioning of the CDC finally became too much. A larger portion of the American electorate woke up to the overall fraud perpetrated by the political operatives in control of the CDC as an institution.  One significant moment was a New York Times article that cited studies showing no evidence, not a single case, of COVID infection came from casual outdoor contact(s).  The leftist audience that reads the NYT responded like a cow had just randomly licked them on the forehead. Yes, it is true that fish do not know they are in water…

Soon after I read an article highlighting the view of people who bought into the fraud – now attempting to reconcile the complete and sudden 180º in narrative around masks.  At first I thought this was parody:

“There’s a glaring omission from this discussion about why people “can’t quit” pandemic behaviors: the mental and emotional toll of the last year. After what many have been through—death, grief, isolation, stress, anxiety, unemployment, trauma—people are going to have some feelings around transitioning back to a less cautious way of life.” (link)

Then I saw this segment from Rachael Maddow…. These folks really are unstable. WATCH:

House Democrats have organized a bill [pdf here] that will create a commission to investigate the January 6th events in Washington DC.   The narrative is a 9/11-style commission to investigate the details, issues and circumstances of the January 6th “insurrection”; however, everyone with a lick of political common sense knows this commission will be used to further a Democrat narrative about ‘right-wing extremism’ in an effort to assist Democrats in the mid-term election.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The bill to establish the Jan. 6 commission could come to the floor “as soon as next week,” Pelosi announced Friday, noting that the panel is modeled after a bipartisan study of events leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. That floor vote will likely be followed by the emergency funding bill, as Democrats hope to pass both before leaving for the Memorial Day recess. (more from Politico)

The narrative behind the Bill is constructed to frame the outcome as a ‘domestic terrorism event‘, setting the stage for Democrats to label any opposition to their agenda as “domestic extremists.”  This is a typical Alinsky maneuver.  The commission will be empowered to: “Issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relating to any matter which the Commission is empowered to investigate.”

The commission will also be permitted to use any/all aspects of the U.S. intelligence community to advance their investigation. “The Commission may secure directly from any Federal department or agency information, including any underlying information that may be in the possession of the intelligence community, that is necessary to enable it to carry out its purposes and functions under this Act.”  In other words, the House democrats will use their control to weaponize and shape the intelligence information for their political benefit.

This obtuse explanation from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about the April jobs report is one for the record books.  According to Yellen, the government handing people more free money than they would achieve with a working job is not a disincentive for employment.

To prove her case she cites the hospitality industry hiring people in April.  However, what Yellen doesn’t figure into her bizarro logic is that all sectors in all states are not created equal.  Yes, the statistics of “sector analysis” apply across the entire nation; however, the underlying economic activity is not equally distributed.

Blue states are more economically closed than red states. The job gains are in the states where the economic activity is strongest and the incentives for workers are the biggest.   The lack of people working is disproportionately happening in the blue states where dependency models are strongest. WATCH this nonsense:

These bureaucrats don’t have a lick of common sense.  According to Secretary Yellen’s logic, there are times when water is not lacking dryness.
