According to media reports of the meetings, the people responsible for the Biden administration are instructing U.S. media outlets to report on the economy as if things are going well.

Unfortunately, massive Biden spending programs, in combination with fiscal policy, monetary policy, energy policy and mandatory vaccination policy, have created a perfect storm of inflation. That storm is growing in scale and scope and is likely to get much worse before it stalls.

The White House demands that media must ignore stunning price increases at the supermarket, jaw dropping home heating costs this winter, prices at the gas pumps that are 50 percent higher than last year, backlogs in the supply chain due to environmental regulation at West Coast ports, and a shortage of critical blue collar workers inside the U.S. Main Street economy due to the vaccine mandate. “Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?”

In short, the White House wants the U.S. media to apply more cowbell to their propaganda.

Even CNN is having a tough time accepting the instructions:

The White House, not happy with the news media’s coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor. Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.

Many Americans have no idea that Russia is an OPEC member.  Even fewer recognize that Russia’s primary economic export is energy via oil and gas.  Oil and gas exports drive the Russian economy.  Any U.S. policy that drives up the value of oil and gas directly enhances the economy and influence of Russia.

Thanks to Joe Biden’s specific energy policy shutting down U.S. energy exploration, Russia’s economy is booming and has made billions more in the sales of high priced oil and natural gas into Europe and the global marketplace.  That increased oil and gas revenue is directly responsible for Russia’s ability to expand militarily in the region.

So when it comes to threats, like Russia annexing even more of Ukraine as a strategic objective…. Joe Biden is strengthening Russia on one hand and threatening the strength of Russia with the other.  Russian President Vladimir Putin sees this with clear eyes.

Meanwhile the NATO partners who *claim* to be worried about Russia (they’re really not) are the same nations that are buying the oil and gas from Russia.   This was the ridiculous economic dynamic President Trump confronted when he challenged NATO on their energy and national security policies.   Tucker Carlson discusses this:

The most notorious hate crime hoaxer in the past few years took the witness stand in his own defense to proclaim he didn’t do anything wrong, when he set up his own fake racial attack using two brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo.

The two brothers testified to being paid $3,500 to pull-off the most transparent and goofy hate crime in recent memory. All of the witness statements align with CCTV footage, cell phone records and other evidence that showed the trio even rehearsed the late night fake crime. There is not a shred of evidence that counteracts the entire fiasco as a ridiculous hate crime hoax. Yet for some insufferable reason this case reached a courtroom.

The police knew it was a hoax, yet they spent 1,500 hours investigating it. The two pretend attackers admitted it was a hoax, and gave details of how it was done. The direct and circumstantial evidence all shows it was a hoax. Everything about the entire series of events proves it was a hoax crime, and yet Jussie Smollet claims it was real.

This is silly.

Closing arguments are expected tomorrow, and if the jury needs to debate this one, well, the justice system is a parody of itself.

CHICAGO – A Cook County jury will likely begin deliberating Wednesday in actor Jussie Smollett’s trial on charges he lied to police about being the victim of an alleged racist and homophobic attack nearly three years ago.

The defense rested its case Tuesday afternoon after the actor spent a tense two hours on the stand, at times getting testy under questioning from Special Prosecutor Dan Webb.

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:

Each year on December 7, we honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.  A further 1,178 people were injured in the attack, which permanently sank two U.S. Navy battleships (the USS Arizona and the USS Utah) and destroyed 188 aircraft.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In the state of Oregon, the rules governing a declaration of a “public health emergency” expire after 180 days, and the rules and regulations contained inside the declaration cannot be extended by fiat, they require legislative approval.  One of the components of their current regulatory requirements is indoor mask wearing for the public.

To avoid the issue of an expiration of authority, the unelected health officials in Oregon are now proposing a permanent extension of the “public health emergency” that would permit them to continue the arbitrary rules and regulations they created within the emergency declaration.

As a consequence, the regulation requiring indoor mask wearing –along with other measures– would be extended until the bureaucrats removed it.

OREGON – […] Oregon’s indoor mask mandate was imposed from May 2020 to June 2021, lifted briefly, and then reimposed in August. The state’s current mandate is in place until February, but that apparently isn’t good enough in a state where 75% of adults have been fully vaccinated.

Bob Dole, a decorated World War II veteran who overcame near fatal wounds to become a respected U.S. Senator from Kansas, died on Sunday.  He was 98.

“It is with heavy hearts we announce that Senator Robert Joseph Dole died early this morning in his sleep. At his death, at age 98, he had served the United States of America faithfully for 79 years. More information coming soon,” the Elizabeth Dole Foundation announced on Twitter.

Bob Dole served as majority leader in the Senate as well as a the chairman of the RNC and Republican presidential candidate.  Dole was a feature of DC politics for several decades, and one of the few old school Republican Party officials who embraced Donald Trump as a candidate and president.   Senator Bob Dole website here.

Neil Oliver hits the nail on the head again. I cannot recommend watching this monologue highly enough.  Eventually, when all government pressures are exhausted, the demand for mandatory vaccination only ends one way, with brute force.   However, they are few and we are the many.  WATCH:

Those who hold power have a tenuous grip.  One of the mechanisms they use to manage their control is division.  They need Omicron.  They need variants.  They need vaxxed -vs- unvaxxed. They need left -vs- right. They need identity politics.  They need class war.  They need racism. They need support from Big Tech.  They need to control the media.

They need compartmentalized scrap-grabbers constantly looking down; because if enough people start looking up and seeing through the division, the masses will find unity.

Those who hold tenuous power know the intelligence agencies alone will not be able to protect them from a unified people.   Neil Oliver is 100% correct.  They are few, we are many.

As Mark Twain famously noted: history may not always repeat, but it rhymes.  European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has taken the leading elements of a dark time in history and now openly advocates for their repetition.  Can these people not hear themselves?  This is madness.

Mrs. von der Leyen’s husband is Heiko von der Leyen, the Director of the US biotech company Orgenesis which specializes in medical research to include cell and gene therapies. 

Mr. Heiko von der Leyen organizes the scientific experiments, and then his wife Ursula advocates for forced vaccinations for all citizens within the European Union; and the removal of the prohibitive Nuremberg Code.   This would be a twisted and sick plot within a science fiction movie; however, it is very real.

Austria has already announced compulsory COVID vaccinations which will be enforced starting in February of 2022.  Greece has recently decided to fine all unvaccinated citizens €100 (£85) a month for their non compliance, and Germany announced Thursday a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated, as its leaders backed plans for mandatory vaccinations in the coming months. Germany’s incoming Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said he supports compulsory vaccinations beginning in March 2022.

These European leaders are insane.

There is no better time than right now for Russia to invade Ukraine, and for the American people to tell our elected officials it’s none of our business.  If returning to the era where Fascist government fiats are acceptable to the people in Europe, then let them fight or fall – we have our own axe handles, tar and feathers to carry.

Interesting report from Politico (using DOJ/FBI sources), highlighting a likelihood the DOJ will release another version of the Trump-Russia report in the spring of 2022.  From the description it sounds like the Andrew Weissmann version of the Mueller report.

If accurate; and there’s no reason at this point not to see this as likely; this could be considered the third leg of the 2022 election stool being constructed by the leftists who plan election strategies within the Lawfare group.

• Leg one is the J6 Committee investigation and subsequent narrative findings.
• Leg two is the DOJ investigation of audit groups, indictments and subsequent narrative.
• Leg three would be the Andrew Weissmann report, and subsequent narrative.

.

Politico – […] An unpublished investigative compilation sometimes referred to as the “Alternative Mueller Report” has been located in Justice Department files and could be released soon, according to a letter filed in federal court Thursday.
