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.

The audit in Maricopa County is being paused for ten days to allow the venue to conduct pre-scheduled graduation ceremonies.  The audit will resume on May 24th.  Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides details of the status so far.

The Maricopa Board of Supervisors is huddling in a private meeting with attorneys to defend themselves against mounting evidence of misconduct during the 2020 election.  No-one knows if the BoS will show up to a public hearing on Tuesday May 18th (1:00pm) as scheduled by the Arizona State Senate.

Promoting the January 6th protest in Washington DC as a “domestic terrorist” event; and promoting the protest as an “armed insurrection” against the U.S. government; is the cornerstone of the Democrat’s 2022 election effort.   If we watch carefully now we will see an increased emphasis on attacking anyone who might downplay the Democrat narrative.

With their back against the wall on failing and catastrophic policy outcomes; with gas prices skyrocketing; and with the economy stalled due to inflation (ie. stagflation), the democrats are all-in with this “insurrection” narrative as a political tool to distract the voting population from merging crisis of bad policy.

If they do not control the politics of the national conversation the Democrats will be crushed in the 2022 mid-term election.  Ultimately their loss of control over the COVID narrative is what has led to the new CDC guidance about masks.  A false premise can only last as long as the reality can be ignored.  With more people awake to the fraud modifications need to be made.

The Democrats are counting on exploiting the false storyline around the Jan.6th protest.  They will work overdrive in the next few days to attack anyone who puts that narrative at risk.  Cue the example:

(The Hill) Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) on Friday began asking Democratic colleagues to sign on to a resolution to censure three House Republicans who tried this week to minimize the severity of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

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.

Over the past two weeks the questioning of the CDC has become intense.  A larger portion of the American electorate are awakening to the overall fraud perpetrated by the political operatives in control of the institution.  The most recent inflection point 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.  It is true that fish do not know they are in water…

“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)

However, the reality of the evidence was always there in the results from states like Florida who quickly re-opened their businesses, allowed congregation, and never saw any issue with increased infection rates.  What the NYT published was basically just an affirmation  of what several states had been saying all along.  There was no scientific evidence to support the previous rules and restrictions from the CDC.

Additionally, in the face of growing questioning it was obvious the level of double-speak from the mouths of CDC officials and Anthony Fauci could no longer be reconciled; and is, in fact, running up against the reality of recent scientific evidence reflecting that most -if not all- of the prior CDC guidance was not based on science.

As customary when any general awakening starts to shift the narrative away from the control authority, the manipulators need to get out in front of the groundswell lest they look like the manipulative fools they are.  As a direct consequence the CDC comes out today with new guidance, while still clinging to their vaccine narrative.  CDC:

“If you’ve been fully vaccinated:

• • You can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.
  • You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.” (link)

Arizona GOP Chairwoman, Kelli Ward, provides an update on the status of the Maricopa ballot audit that is ongoing.  As noted by Mrs. Ward, there is a Lawfare battle taking place in/around the politics and judicial branch.  There is also a narrative war ongoing with spin, lies and disinformation from the Democrats who oppose the county ballot audit.

“What the mainstream media isn’t telling you… Legal action imminent. Audit side benefit: questions of election office irregularities, breach of Voter ID information AZGOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward reports“:

The Veterans Memorial Coliseum CCTV system remains active [SEE HERE]  as a public security and integrity issue.

Additionally, THIS is the official page of the Arizona Senate Liaison for the Maricopa County Election audit. “Under the direction of The Honorable Ken Bennett, former Arizona Secretary of State, an audit is underway to ensure transparency and integrity in the Maricopa County, AZ 2020 election audit.”

Transportation Secretary Alfred E Newman took center stage today to outline the White House response to the gas crisis as people up and down the East coast are unable to find fuel.  We are so screwed with these professional political idiots, who have never held a real private sector job, in charge of U.S. policy.

Secretary Newman is skilled in the use of parseltongue: ‘We understand the concerns that need to be understood in order to evaluate the concerns that have been expressed.  Our understanding has led to a larger discussion about the concerns and we understand the need to coordinate with our partner agencies toward the common goal of understanding.  Now that we have the analysis to understand the greater concern, we are evaluating the fastest way to express the understanding of the analysis to a more broad network of partners.  As soon as that network understanding is in place, then we will have a better understanding for the American people about their concern‘.. or something.   Yes, these are the words of wisdom from the Secretary of Transportation.

Think I’m kidding… Well, you try:

As expected the high-turn consumable goods are starting to rise in price rapidly.  The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the consumer price analysis from April (remember there’s a big lag) [Top Line Data Here – Detailed Sector Data Here]  The trend is rapid inflation continuing with no end in sight.  CORE inflation just jumped the most since 1982.

Overall prices are up 4.2 percent year-over-year, which is three times the rate of inflation under Joe Biden than under President Trump.  Inflation hurts the lower and middle economic class much harder; and the specific inflation sectors show massive increases on the goods and services that blue collar workers use most.

It is specifically the Biden economic policies that are to blame for the scale of these increased prices.  Inflation of this scale is an outcome of policy.

Biden is focused on helping multinationals and Wall Street; President Trump was focused on helping small businesses and Main Street.  We are now seeing the impact from these two differing economic priorities.

Regular unleaded gasoline is up a whooping 51.9 percent from last year [Table 7].  Higher gas prices directly hit the middle class the hardest and also increases the cost of transporting all goods.  Keep in mind this is a snapshot of prices approximately six weeks ago and gasoline prices have been rising even more rapidly recently.  Not good news.

The status of the economy, the employment picture and the stimulus money shows up in the cost of used vehicles rising over 22% last month and 21% compared to last year.  People are holding on to their vehicles and when able purchasing newer used vehicles, reflected in the lower inflation on new cars and trucks (2%).  Paycheck and wage security is becoming an issue again, especially with the cost of gasoline and food.

Former Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney runs immediately to the microphones after being kicked out of the GOP House leadership position.  In a bitter statement the deep state DeceptiCon operative vows to do “everything I can to ensure [President Trump] never gets near the oval office.”

The next task is for Wyoming voters to primary Liz Cheney even more deeply into the land of total irrelevance and crush her in the 2022 election.

.

There was always going to be a need for a fracturing of the GOP to eliminate this entrenched DeceptiCon class of professional politicians.  That is the essence of what we have called “The Big Ugly” on this website.  The reason this place is named “the last refuge” is an outcome of our association calling for this type of action more than ten years ago.

We are blessed and fortunate that Donald J Trump came to the forefront and awakened the majority of GOP voters to the deception within the party.  It will take a long time to cut out this cancerous wing of the UniParty bird, but it must be done…. precinct by precinct, district by district, state by state, election by election, these professional DeceptiCon politicians must be removed.  The removal effort must be unrelenting and unforgiving.

Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Crenshaw, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, and every other member of the DeceptiCon caucus must be removed. We must then ensure that no-one like Nikki Haley comes back into the world of politics.  All must be cast into their true ‘America Last’ tribe with Democrats.

Senator Dr. Rand Paul calls-out the primary U.S. Engineer of COVID-19 chaos, Dr. Anthony Fauci, over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether or not the NIH has sent money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Dr. Fauci insists the National Institute of Health has not funded the Wuhan lab.  Senator Paul notes Fauci is parsing words because the NIH funds the research partnership between the U.S. lab and the Wuhan lab that creates, and created, the modified (ie. “gain of function”) COVID variants.   Sketchy Fauci is fraught with professional obfuscation in the form of ‘parseltongue’. WATCH:

Why is COVID-19 being disproportionately hyped as such a dangerous threat, when the reality of the statistical danger is much less than the intense level of hype?… That is the key question.

The answer is… social, societal and governmental changes, under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, are the entry point for the goals and aspirations of the political left on a national and global scale. COVID-19 is a virus, but also a very important political weapon, and we finding out now exactly what the purpose of the hype was all about.
