Holy smokes,this lady is impressive.  Virginia Lt. Governor-Elect Winsome Sears appears on CNN’s State of the Union show hosted by Dana Bash.

Dana Bash throws out several DNC leftist talking points in an effort to corner Winsome Sears, but the incoming Lieutenant Governor was having none of the nonsense. From the infrastructure bill, to Critical Race Theory, to COVID and vaccine propaganda, Ms. Winsome Sears just pummels the talking points of the political left.

When questioned about Virginia receiving benefits from the Biden infrastructure bill for broadband expansion, Sears points out the leftist infrastructure bill only permits money for broadband in Virginia regions with expanding immigrant populations, vis-a-vis illegal aliens.  The illegal alien residency is a requirement for the money, so how does that benefit Southwest Virginians?   Dana Bash is speechless.

When questioned about CRT in schools, Bash attempts the parseltongue framework that CRT is not “officially” in the curriculum.  Mrs Sears points out the specifics of where CRT does actually exist in the Democrat curriculum.  Dana Bash is uncomfortable, visibly uncomfortable, and speechless.

When questioned about COVID vaccinations for children, and the private personal vaccination status of Mrs. Sears herself, well, Winsome Sears just pummels the premise with facts, reason, science and the foundational block of liberty.  John King’s ex-wife shrinks.  Then comes the Rittenhouse mic drop at the end…  WATCH:

Plain talk…. heart talk…. strong talk…. Virginia has done very well with Winsome Sears.

Mrs. Sears is a communist Democrat’s worst nightmare.  The political left must be extremely fearful of this woman.

Earlier today, while sharpening the saw, I was having a deep discussion with a dear friend who possesses a large intellectual grasp on the big picture.  Unfortunately, like many of us, my friend is deep behind enemy lines and a subject of totalitarian COVID rules that would shock our year-ago selves.

Part of our conversation covered the absence of leadership from anyone, anyone in a position of influence, who could eloquently connect the challenges of COVID regulation to the humanity of people.  It is an important issue for me, because I -like most of you- can see the damage all around me; yet, we are supposed to pretend this ‘new normal’ is not isolating, not killing, not undermining the most vulnerable around us.

Poet Robert Burns called it “man’s inhumanity to man,” a premise that as humans we are destined to be forlorn, because the feeling of sadness is a steeper slope than the rise of happiness.  The counteracting force to battle isolation is fellowship, a larger connection to our social network.

The governmental premise of COVID isolation, quarantine and lockdown protocols are all antithetical to the essential human need, connection.  Nothing within those regulatory rules has anything to do with public health.  Exactly the opposite is true – isolation, loneliness and a disconnect from people is far deadlier than any virus.  However, even more deadly is this toxic and purposeful division between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

No one in a position of political influence is talking about the damage to our social fabric created by government COVID regulations.  The silence is deafening; however, Neil Oliver is a voice in the wilderness who deeply understands the immoral nature of their silence.  WATCH:

Never forget – the first thing Big Tech (writ large) did following the 2020 election was to modify all platform ‘terms of service’ with a new rule saying that any speech questioning the legitimacy of the election was akin to undermining the principles of democracy.  They knew the scam they executed with fraudulent mail-in ballots and manipulated election results in several key counties.

Never doubt – in the background of everything happening in/around the world of politics, the entire apparatus of people who work in the political industry know that Joe Biden was a fraudulently elected President.  They won’t admit it, they will deny it, they will even pretend not to know it; however, at the end of the day they do know what happened, and they know their participation.  As a result, they know exactly what “Let’s Go Brandon“, and “F**k Joe Biden” are all about.

Eye-opening stories like the one below about a local Colorado ‘mom’ activist named Sherronna Bishop, are a microcosm of the larger issue.

Mrs. Bishop is a mom and activist working to confront local corruption on the school board level, county election level, and congressional district level.  Mrs Bishop organized a network [AmericasMom.Net] and helped flip several school board seats through successfully applied tactical civics.  She also organized, supported and activated local district support for Lauren Boebert as a congressional candidate in 2020; they won.

The process of organized tactical civics is underway in thousands of local communities as more people become aware the solution to stopping federal overreach is to engage at a local level and draw a line.

The success is showing up everywhere coast to coast, from school board elections – to state representatives – to statewide office races.  The grassroots organizations are having a great deal of success.  However, that success is now considered a “domestic threat” by the federal political system.

Sherronna Bishop was also actively engaged in a review of the 2020 Mesa County, Colorado, election results with County Clerk Tina Peters and then sought out state level help for the issues discovered.  Then, in the face of COVID-19 government fiat and overreach, Bishop organized the local resistance.  In essence, Mrs. Sherronna Bishop -a wife, mom and committed patriot for her family- is the grass in what we would call grassroots community organizing.

….Last week the FBI kicked down her door and raided her home.

A good article outlining why Kyle Rittenhouse was considered a specifically purposeful target for the regime is written at Powerline Blog by Paul Mirengoff [SEE HERE].

What the author essentially describes is something CTH readers have witnessed for over a decade, we called it “The Safari Principle” narrative; and it surfaced in its most modern form during the George Zimmerman case.

In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari.  When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.

If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome.  The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he should not have gotten out of the car,” and “he shouldn’t have traveled to Kenosha,” all based on the same principle.

(Powerline) […] The Rittenhouse prosecution and the demonization of him by the left (including the left-wing media) stems from a simple premise. Leftists, including Antifa and BLM, have the right to take to the street causing chaos and property damage, and when they do, those who disagree with them must stand aside while leftists run riot. If they don’t stand aside, they have no right to defend themselves against members of the mob who come after them — even if someone points a gun at them (as Grosskreutz did). (read more)

The first advocacy for the modern “Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the narrative: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.

Historically, we used to blame the victim by saying he/she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, politically it became too difficult to define where the wrong places were, and simultaneously legislators continued to struggle defining the right vs. wrong times law abiding people were allowed to be in these places.

Historically, the political media were skilled at excusing transparently guilty.  However, in the aftermath of the Obama paradigm shift, where the media began accusing the transparently innocent, a more specific rule was needed.

This is a little more interesting than Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks, because Kamala Harris was hand selected in the agreement between Barack Obama and James Clyburn to represent the public face of the professional political grievance industry.   In essence, activist agitation is the primary reason why team Obama put Kamala Harris into the office of the executive.   In the Rittenhouse aftermath, we see that Kamala purpose with a little more clarity.

In this video Kamala doesn’t wait to be asked, she rushes purposefully to the microphones and then instructs them on the purpose.  Its’ a rather telling moment in the background of why Kamala Harris was put into place. [27 seconds, WATCH]:

…”Hey guys, well it was a good trip and um, I know you have questions about the verdict; and the verdict really speaks for itself.  As many of you know I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there’s a lot more work to do.”…

The people who control the current White House occupant have released a statement [SEE HERE] setting the stage for the federal government to trigger a DOJ investigation of Kyle Rittenhouse.  The Obama crew is leaning forward to trigger AG Merrick Garland by expressing that Joe Biden is “feeling angry and concerned“.

As the ideology is expressed, Rittenhouse should be investigated because he violated the civil rights of the “protestors” in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when he interfered with their constitutional right to free speech.  That’s why they call riots, protests.  All violence the leftists support is ‘speech’, and all speech the leftists do not support is labeled violence.

The recent precedent for this approach was established by the same White House team when Obama instructed former AG Eric Holder to investigate George Zimmerman in Orlando after his jury verdict of not guilty.   The FBI launched a year-long investigation of George Zimmerman *after* the verdict.   Again in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama instructed Holder to target police officer Darren Wilson in the aftermath of the Mike Brown shooting, and the decision not to press charges.  The FBI launched an immediate investigation.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob. Rittenhouse also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him. Prosecutors and U.S. corporate media attempted to claim that Rittenhouse was a vigilante looking for a fight; however, the defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self-defense.

*Update*  Verdict about to be announced 1:00pm ET

RESULT:  Not Guilty on All FIVE Counts !!

The New York judge, Charles D. Wood, in the case of Project Veritas -vs- New York Times, has ordered the newspaper to explain how they obtained access to the legal correspondence between James O’Keefe and his attorneys.  [Source Harmeet Dhillon]

The FBI raided James O’Keefe’s apartment, seized his cell phone and other devices, and then days later the New York Times was publishing privileged legal information which appears to have been obtained from FBI leaks.  The judge in the case is ordering the New York Times to defend its position before he grants the requests of O’Keefe’s legal team.

This is a small example of the stunning graft and hypocrisy within the ideological Biden administration.

The White House has announced {SEE HERE} they are purchasing ten million courses of the new Pfizer COVID therapeutic treatment pill called Paxlovid.

[…] “Today, I’m announcing that we have purchased 10 million treatment courses of the Pfizer antiviral COVID-19 pill, with delivery starting at the end of this year and across 2022.” (link)

The Biden payment to Pfizer is for $5.3 billion {link}.  At 10 million courses that equals $530 per treatment.

Laughably, the White House says “pending FDA approval“, as if the FDA would not approve the Pfizer pill.

Pretending not to know things, just two days ago the White House Press Secretary said this:

The Senate Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee held a confirmation today for Joe Biden’s communist nominee Saule Omarova to be Comptroller of the Currency.  It really is quite remarkable that Biden would nominate a person who has advocated for government control over all allocation of capital and credit in the U.S. economy.

Ms. Omarova has advocated for government intervention in the allocation of all resources used within the finance and banking system, completely reversing the free market allocation of capital in the economy.   Omarova’s position of federal control is unchanged throughout her life, yet she has attempted to add nuance and denial to a life-long history of working on this process.

Ms. Omarova is the tip of the spear in using finance and banking to implement the regulatory controls needed to support the Green New Deal, where government would intervene and deny capital to private interests who would not be in alignment with leftist energy policy and total economic change via Build Back Better.  Today she was confronted by several senators within the banking committee.  WATCH:
