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?

Trust the science they say…. and then, accidentally, the “scientists” admit that what they are doing under the guise of public health has absolutely nothing to do with science.

Anthony Fauci appears today on ABC This Week to push the vaccine narrative.  When asked about a vaccine passport requirement for airline travel, Facui admits openly the only reason for a vaccine mandate is to force people to get the vaccine.  There is no other benefit for the mandate other than to force people to get the vaccine.

The vaccine doesn’t stop infection.  The vaccine doesn’t stop the spread of infection.  The vaccine has no value from the position of decreasing the spread of a COVID-19 virus or any variant therein.  The value of the vaccine is in getting people to take the vaccine.  It sounds goofy, but that’s exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci admits in this interview.  Watch at 09:10 prompted.

.

Once again, it seems the vaccine requirements overall are a tool to create a system for the Vaccine Passport.  The passport is then a simple tracking mechanism to identify the movements of all the people being forced to show it.   The Vaccine Passport is essentially the gateway to a digital id system.

With everything that has happened in this Overton window of the past two years, it is stunning how many people now accept the reality of their papers being demanded to move around and simply live life.  The axiom “papers please” used to trigger a common American aversion.  Now, there are millions of people who comply as if they cannot see what lies at the end of their acceptance.

In order for the hardline leftists to continue advancing their ideological agenda, they must always, always, pretend not to know things.  Cue Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg…

Pete Buttigieg has promoted open borders and mass illegal immigration as a “basic human right“, those are his words.  However, now he proclaims the process of trafficking people across the border is a violation of human rights.  In this brief public service announcement, Buttigieg urges people to call the authorities whenever they suspect human trafficking might be happening.  WATCH:

You can report Human Trafficking by calling 1-888-373-7888 or Texting BEFREE as one word.

The most unqualified person to be installed in the position of Vice President is struggling badly.  Several attempts to rehabilitate her public image have failed miserably.  A new team was hired to try and rebrand her image, that too failed miserably.  Kamala Harris is a profoundly unserious person with few intellectual skills, and she requires constant assistance.  It must be very frustrating for those around her.

Today, CBS correspondent Margaret Brennan tries once again to elevate the image of Harris and fails.  You cannot create in someone a skillset that is light-years from their disposition.  Everything becomes a transparent pantomime, a performance of bad acting with a person who has not rehearsed, doesn’t know the plot, has not read the script, has spent no time with the other actors, and yet attempts to produce a performance.

The interview is lengthy, but I want to just draw your attention to a two minute segment that will highlight everything.  Listen to Kamala Harris discuss the current status of the Build Back Better bill, and the connected inflation that legislative spending creates.  [From 4:56 (prompted) to 7:00] WATCH:

That word salad of nothingness perfectly encapsulates Kamala Harris.  She has absolutely no idea what she is trying to say, because she has absolutely no idea what she is trying to talk about.  It’s not an issue of her being merely unqualified, the problem is much bigger, she’s completely clueless.  The team around her cannot make something out of nothing.

What I am describing above is not just visible to critics like you and me. The problem for Biden and Harris is that the majority of Democrats see Harris in exactly the same way, look at the comments section on YouTube.   Only corporate media and far, far left social justice types -who pretend not to know things- are supportive.  That’s why Harris could only gain 3% support from the Democrat base in the 2020 election.

Candace Owens likely felt some need to follow up on her interview with President Trump due to overwhelming opinion of Trump’s vaccine position.  Unfortunately, she attempts to reconcile President Trump’s position by casting aspersions toward him [Daily Mail Article].

Mrs. Owens reconciles President Trump’s support for the three COVID-19 vaccines by saying he’s too old to understand the troublesome vaccine information and doesn’t use the internet for his research.   WATCH:

https://youtu.be/IBOk3b3BJjM

President Trump’s position on the vaccines –as a tool in the arsenal to combat the pandemic– is essentially unremarkable.  Trump supports the vaccines that were developed, under the goal of providing protection for people against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, by the scientific community.  However, President Trump repeatedly insists that no one should be mandated to take the vaccine.

The essential Trump position has consistently been:

‘The American and international scientific and medical establishment have determined that SARS-CoV-2 represents a significant threat to public health.  In response, the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH); in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO) and various governments around the globe, have worked with scientists and pharmaceutical companies to develop vaccines to be deployed under emergency authorizations.  Those vaccines are available for the American public to consider and use, if a person is worried about their health risk.’ 

That’s it, that’s the sum total of President Trump’s position.

Trump doesn’t feel people should be pressured, forced, coerced or mandated to take a vaccine.  Nor should anyone be subject to discrimination or division based on their unique medical decision. Vaccination is an individual choice, and President Trump has said, repeatedly, he respects anyone’s decision either way, and the federal government should not be involved.   From my perspective, this is non-controversial.

Additionally, despite the proclamations of many who have even written on these comment sections, this position is not only the same as Florida Governor ¹Ron DeSantis, but also identical.

Again, position encapsulated: “Here’s what the professionals who work for your federal government have come up with, use them as you see beneficial to yourself and your family.”

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:

The New York Post {HERE} and Politico {HERE} are sharing stories from White House aides about how their job sucks and many of them are likely to leave at the beginning of the year.  The staffers give examples of a joyless and miserable job at the White House while the top tier pass out champagne perks to their DC elite friends and treat the Biden aides as simple servants.

Apparently, under the regime of Joe Biden, if a White House staffer wants to attend an event or bring their family to visit, the aide must agree to work as an unpaid volunteer delivering services and taking care of the invited list of guests and clients.

As the New York Post noted, “Some White House workers reportedly blame the low morale on the presence of longtime Biden aides who remain distant from their colleagues, a situation summed up by the phrase: “No new friends in Biden world.””

WASHINGTON DC – […]   The small perks of working in the White House, like the chance to take part in holiday parties and ceremonies, have also been in short supply. For the White House’s Independence Day party, most White House staff could only attend if they worked as unpaid volunteers staffing the event, per an email from White House operations sent at the time and shared with us. For the Thanksgiving turkey pardoning and the Christmas tree lighting, attendance was doled out via a lottery system, leaving out many White House aides.

Leftism is driven by committee advice; it’s how the echo-chambering communal groupthink works.

After the White House COVID “Winter of Death” messaging was ridiculed and ignored by almost everyone in the general public, the communications team quickly went back to the drawing board.  You can almost hear Ron Klain instructing the team to find ways to avoid the ‘Grinch team‘ labeling.

However, the ordinary emotional disposition of leftists and Democrats, writ large, is depressing, angry and negative, the result from a lifetime of blame casting.  The most valued skillset advancing the career of any professional leftist, is their ability to project victimhood.  If you do this long enough, it becomes the only thing you know how to do.  ‘Hang around a one-legged man long enough, and you will walk with a limp’.

As a direct result, the political left genuinely does not understand or experience joy, nor do they have a connection to the emotion of happiness. So, when the political left gets together in a focus group to discuss the urgent need to shift messaging from pessimism, which turns everyone off, they end up with recommendations like this:

Yes, White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, hired dancing nurses to come into the East Room to deliver a performance for the First Lady.  In the video below, the group sings about the joy of covid, the “winter of death”, and needing to spread a little Christmas cheer.

You might find the entire performance cringeworthy, because it is.  The messaging is ridiculous, odd and, well, just plain weird.  However, this is what happens when the narrative pendulum swings wildly amid the communications team.   The base of Biden supporters, ideological leftists, do not see the cringe, instead they see it as cute – but that’s because they have no connection to the actual emotion of Christmas joy.

What you end up with is this weird North Korean style performance of nurses dancing in unison and singing.  The expression on Jill Biden’s face is exactly the same look you might find on the face of Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo Jung.   To the White House, this is cute and fun; however, the look on the faces of the American audience is an uncomfortable grin.

I don’t mean kick up a cloud of dust here, but something is weird again.  Last week we spotlighted information provided by media about the U.S. vaccination rate being considerably overstated {Go Deep}.  In essence, the CDC data was being revised downward to correct prior rates of vaccination that were not accurate.

During an ABC interview today (segment below), Joe Biden told ABC News’ David Muir that as of right now, there are “200 million people fully vaccinated.”  WATCH (1 min):

Counting illegal aliens, there are roughly 350 million Americans right now [Census Data].  If 200 million Americans are vaccinated (60%), that means there are approximately 150 million Americans NOT vaccinated (40%).

During his speech yesterday, Joe Biden said: “Thanks to the progress on vaccinations this fall, we’ve gone from nearly 90 million adults in July who had not even started their vaccination process to fewer than 40 million today.” [LINK]

There’s a big difference between 150 million unvaccinated and “fewer than 40 million” unvaccinated.  Can you reconcile the difference?

BREAKING TONIGHT – The Supreme Court has announced [LINK HERE and LINK HERE] it will hold a special hearing next month to consider challenges to the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for large employers and a separate coronavirus vaccine mandate for health-care workers.

[Order 595 LINK]

Both vaccine mandates have been partially blocked from going into effect by lower courts after challenges from states, business and religious coalitions.

Justices Alito and Kavanaugh both received requests, both affirmed acceptance, and then both cases were consolidated by THE COURT.  The court will hear oral arguments for one hour on Friday January 7, 2022, just before the court begins regularly scheduled oral arguments. [SCOTUS Order Link]
