Tesla CEO Elon Musk was seemingly channeling his inner Galt during a video interview with Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal at the CEO Council Summit. Apparently Mr. Musk can see what’s on the other side of this spending horizon and doesn’t want to experience it. WATCH:

Two Democrats joined with Republicans yesterday in passing a bill that would eliminate any federal vaccine mandate. It seems silly that Congress would have to pass a law saying the unlawful and unilateral act of the executive branch, which has been blocked by separate federal courts, is unlawful…. but that’s where we are.
Democrats Joe Manchin (West Va.) and Jon Tester (Montana) joined all the Republicans present in the 52-48 vote. The bill now goes to the House, where it is going to be put on ice by Nancy Pelosi in order to save Joe Biden from an embarrassing rebuke of his overreach. However, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked today if the House were to vote on the bill, would Joe Biden veto it.
The White House spokesperson affirmed that Joe Biden would veto any bill, created by the representatives of the people, that declared his authority null. WATCH:
Yesterday, Rachael Rollins was confirmed by the Senate as Joe Biden’s selection to be the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts {LINK}. Watch the former District Attorney Rachael Rollins previously respond to a local Boston media crew.
Watch what happened, and remember, this person is now the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts:

The severe leftist disposition exhibited in that video was well known to the U.S. Senate prior to her confirmation hearings.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz highlighted and warned his peers about the danger that Mrs. Rollins’ worldview as district attorney represented if she was put into a position of significant authority. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton also gave numerous warnings and for a time blocked the nomination.
Alas, eventually the Senate approved of Mrs. Rollins despite all the warnings. The Senate vote was a 50/50 tie. No Republicans voted to support Rachael Rollins, and Kamala Harris stepped in to break the tie.
There’s a lot of convoluted internal stuff, but essentially Mitch McConnell is going to set up a process for Democrats in the Senate to raise the debt ceiling by themselves.
Mitch will enlist the usual Decepticon suspects to change the senate rules, for one-time only, allowing democrats to raise the debt ceiling without having to enter negotiations and concessions for anything republican lawmakers want (like eliminating the Biden spending bill).
McConnell will need nine more republicans to change the process, but it looks like he’s going to be successful.
This will permit Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by approximately $2 trillion, so they can continue debate on Biden’s Build Back Better bill. Yeah, Uniparty gonna Uniparty.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Senate minority leader spent Tuesday selling his members on a convoluted strategy that would require at least 10 Republicans to approve legislation that would later allow Senate Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by a simple majority vote. After a leadership meeting and a Senate GOP lunch, McConnell said he’d done enough work to clinch the deal in a vote expected on Thursday. (read more)
So the Senate DeceptiCons will *claim* to be against the multi-trillion ‘Build Back Better’, fundamental change, spending bill. Yet they will have facilitated the Democrats not having to negotiate or eliminate anything inside the BBB bill, by removing the leverage of the debt ceiling raise. Yep, Uniparty gotta Uniparty – all courtesy of the DeceptiCon caucus. I hate them.
President Donald Trump notes the Mitch McConnell nonsense in a statement:
A federal judge in Georgia has blocked the vaccine mandate for federal contractors nationally. A previous court order from another judge in Kentucky blocked the contractor vaccine mandate in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee [link]. This latest ruling blocks the contractor mandate nationally [link].
This is the latest defeat for the Biden administration against all three facets of the federal vaccine mandate: (1) Federal Contractors, (2) CMS Healthcare providers, (3) private sector employers with over 100 workers.
All three prongs of the White House federal vaccine mandate are now blocked by federal courts.
(Reuters) – A federal judge in Georgia issued a nationwide injunction that prevents the U.S. government from enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on federal contractors, temporarily shutting down the last remaining vaccine requirement by the Biden administration.
U.S. District Judge Stan Baker in Savannah, Georgia, said Congress did not clearly authorize the president to use procurement to impose a vaccine requirement on contractors that will have “vast economic and political significance.” (read more)
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked today about whether the White House would be transparent with the reported divestiture of Hunter Biden and his financial relationships with communist Chinese government officials. The press secretary refused to answer the question. WATCH:
National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins appeared on Fox News today to push the panic button around the latest COVID variant, Omicron. Dr. Collins was pushing the vaccine hard as he explained why Americans need to be concerned about the latest variant.
Vaccines, and now double and triple booster shots, are the acceptable scientific approach to combating the arriving Omicron variant, which Collins’ protege Dr. Fauci has warned could lead to a new round of lockdowns, mask mandates and social distancing requirements from federal and state officials.
However, in the face of all the panic promotion, NIH Director Collins was asked to reconcile why Florida, the most open and free state in the nation – that does not have any COVID mandates in place, would also have the lowest infection rate in the country. Dr. Collins refused to answer the question, and instead repeated his rehearsed talking points.
It is very telling -in a weird way- how the NIH Director would not answer the question. In fact, he avoided it completely. WATCH (Prompted):
The DC system is predictable in how they weaponize their branches against the electorate. As the primary races of the mid-term election looms, CTH also provides a few tripwires to watch. Keep in mind, when it comes to controlling the electorate, Democrat and Republican leadership, the UniParty writ large are united in that goal.
In this interview the insufferable House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff appears on CNN to discuss the House efforts to weaponize the J6 Committee for maximum political benefit. The key point to take away from this interview can only be found if you ignore the political manipulation, a shell game, around labeling the opposition as domestic extremists. The intent to use the J6 committee as a political narrative engineering effort is obvious; everyone will talk about that aspect.
Instead, listen to how many times Schiff notes the committee will provide the DOJ with information they gather. The DOJ role is where everyone should be paying attention; and by DOJ we mean DOJ and FBI. WATCH Schiff first:

Instead of focusing on the obvious, look around. It is not coincidental the people behind Biden and Lawfare are funneling information into the Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland DOJ to use against their political opposition. The DOJ/FBI targeting school board protests; the DOJ/FBI targeting James O’Keefe; the DOJ/FBI rounding up J6 attendees etc are the visible tip of the iceberg.
The iceberg itself is built upon the aligned political system, the White House included, feeding the DOJ/FBI targeting information. In/around the spring of 2022, right about the time when the primary challenges to establish the field of contenders for the mid term election are happening, that is when we will see OUTCOMES from the DC system building that below surface iceberg right now.
Allianz Group chief economic advisor, Mohamed El-Erian, is one of the few financial pundits who understood President Trump’s purposeful economic agenda inside the America First policy {Go Deep and Go Deep}. However, El-Erian also has to maintain his Wall Street credibility and, like most financial pundits, has to pretend not to know things when the emperor’s new clothes -Biden economics- are being discussed.
El-Erian uses the lingo of the club as he walks carefully in the shadow of his Wall Street allies, and he has to avoid the 800lb gorilla in the room and ignore there are other newly surfacing mechanisms available to the government in their approach to inflation. In this interview El-Erian does emphasize that inflation is not transitory, it is only going to get worse as long as the Federal Reserve keeps printing money to keep up with the massive and ongoing Democrat spending programs.
When El-Erian says the Fed needs to take their foot off the accelerator, he’s talking about how the Fed policy right now is purchasing debt (Quantative Easing) and printing money to keep up with legislative spending programs. He knows the Biden administration will not stop this approach, they are committed to the Build Back Better program, and as a consequence El-Erian knows inflation will continue in direct proportion to that ‘demand side‘ activity. But he cannot call it out directly – he can only say inflation will continue.
All of the Wall Street pundits know the Fed cannot hit the brakes (raise interest rates and stop purchasing debt) or else this entire manipulated economy (even on a global scale) will collapse; as El-Erian says “plunge into a recession.” It is a tenuous house of cards the current Wall Street crew is betting to remain in place due to the ideological politics (Green New Deal, Build Back Better, etc ).
President Donald Trump called in to Fox Business yesterday [LINK] for an extensive interview about the current state of the U.S. economy, gas prices, energy policy and the Biden administration’s COVID response.
President Trump told FOX Business’s “Varney & Co.” he had hoped President Biden would do well in managing the coronavirus, but pointed out that “significantly” more Americans have died from the virus under Biden’s watch than his own “despite all of the vaccines and the therapeutics” that are now widely available. Trump emphasized his position on the vaccine, “I want people to go out and want to get [vaccinated], but I don’t want to force it into them.” WATCH:
