The U.S. government does not operate in a vacuum without knowledge of what is happening and a solid perspective on what is likely to happen.  Whether they listen to the commonsense advisors, or whether the control officers intentionally keep counter positions away from the principle, is another matter; however, the officials generally know what is most likely to happen.

The White House put Port Envoy John D. Porcari, who is also intricately involved in the supply chain taskforce, on the podium today to discuss supply chain issues.   The full video of his remarks is posted below, but my spidey sense is telling me they know what we know, and they are starting to prepare for what will ultimately become impossible to ignore.  WATCH:

It’s not just a port issue, as we have discussed on these pages, the interventionist policies and regulations from the people creating the COVID response (writ large) have been fubar from the beginning. {Go Deep} When they shut down the restaurants and hospitality sector (2020 lockdowns), the advisors and bureaucrats triggered a cascading series of events inside the food supply chain.

Oh dear, this statement by Senator Ted Cruz is going to put Ms. Julie Kelly in quite a pickle.  Earlier today, Senator Cruz called the J6 protesting groups a bunch of “violent terrorists … who should go to jail for a long, long time.”

Readers of these pages will not find this mask slip by Cruz to be a big surprise; however, for the legions of Cruz-bots, who have avoided watching him turn into a wolfman type hybrid, literally, this could be problematic.  You only need to watch the first few seconds of this one minute video to see where Senator Cruz stands.  WATCH:

If the 2016 RNC convention speech didn’t shake off his supporters, perhaps this latest revelation will.   Wolfman Cruz is one small nudge to the right of the one-eyed Cheney from Texas.

Serrez plus fort, mes amis – squeeze harder. This only ends one way.

The communist leftists in France have always had a problem with their citizenry.  Their biggest challenge is that France, has a strong historic sense of nationalism.  The modern political left in Europe has worked earnestly to erode that cultural truth, and the leftists in the U.S. have tried to assist them throughout.  This is the essential reason why the U.S. State Department deployed the “Rivkin Project.”

Like Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron was installed by the larger assembly of Vichy Communists; and just like the previous Tea Party rose up to confront President Obama, in France the Yellow Vest movement appeared to confront President Macron.   We are finally at a time where people are able to see these connective tissues, and that my friends is a very good outcome.

We the people, those who understand the deepest values of nationalism in the cultural and political battle against globalism, need these installed leaders to remain visible.

We need them to squeeze harder because every time they do, more people awaken.

French President Emmanuel Macron feels emboldened by the rise of COVID fear.  Pretenses are being dropped as these words were spoken yesterday about the citizens of France:

(EuroNews) […] Macron told Le Parisien that he had decided to act against the non-vaccinated, by “limiting as much as possible their access to social life activity”.  “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so, to the bitter end. That’s the strategy,” the head of state said. “When my freedom comes to threaten that of other people, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen.”

It is not coincidental that Chicago becomes the place where the insufferable communist activist teachers become most visible in their attacks against parents and students.  In the method of using the sector of education as a weapon, the Marxists in Chicago are the epicenter of communist ideology.

Chicago is Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and of course, Barack Obama.  The teacher’s union in Chicago is a fully communist education movement, with an entrenched belief that all children belong to the grand communal outlook they represent.

So, it does not come as a surprise to see the Chicago Teachers Union tell the city officials ‘they are in charge‘ and they will dictate COVID policy.

CHICAGO – Classes were canceled Wednesday in Chicago, the country’s third-largest school district, as union leaders and city officials failed to reach an agreement over how to operate schools safely amid the surge in coronavirus cases – an impasse cemented with a late-night vote from Chicago Teachers Union that could lock students out of in-person learning until mid-January.

“Right now, going into school puts us at risk, puts our students and families at risk,” union President Jesse Sharkey said in a press conference Wednesday morning. “That’s the simple truth of the matter. This is a virus that’s raging through the city.”

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I’ll get into a little detail about why this CDC change, if implemented, will only speed up the economic crisis we are about to enter.  [However, don’t share that aspect with anyone other than those closest to you.]  First, the change being discussed…

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the husband of a very sketchy Chinese communist party shadow official that no one ever discusses, told CNN today the CDC is likely to revise the quarantine guidance to include a negative test for COVID before exit.

(Via Daily Mail) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to further change its recommendations for Americans diagnosed with COVID-19, potentially requiring a negative test to leave isolation before ten days.

Last week, the agency shortened its recommended isolation period from 10 days to five days for people who have minimal Covid symptoms. The move drew criticism from experts who said a negative test should’ve been included.

Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy said that the CDC is working to further revise the isolation guidance, telling CNN on Tuesday that he expects a clarification ‘any day now.’

Smart move, following his instincts.  President Trump was scheduled to deliver press remarks on January 6th, earlier today he cancelled them.

Given the continued effort by the DC political establishment, the intelligence branch, corrupt officials, Lawfare aides and the media stenographers writ large, to exploit the J6 events for mid-term political interests, it makes sense to allow them to suck their own oxygen.

WH Occupant Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and likely a host of more credible Sesame Street costumed characters, are all scheduled to deliver a performance in DC to commemorate the solemn anniversary of the most cataclysmic threat to our nation’s Republic in the history of mankind.

Adam Kinzinger and both Liz Cheneys, including the one with the eye patch, will likely be in attendance for the grand pantomime.

[REPOST by request with note: We will get the December data in about a week from now]

You might remember: October 13, 2021, Joe Biden delivered widely carried remarks about specific actions his administration was taking to increase operations at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB).

Here we take a closer look at the claims since the original announcement, and then highlight the actual results from the ports.  The port operations are actually doing worse today than they were in October. They are less efficient, less productive and have handled less freight in November than they did in October.  The factual results are exactly the opposite of the administration claims.

The October 13, 2021, White House fact sheet is HERE, “announcing a series of public and private commitments to move more goods faster, and strengthen the resiliency of our supply chains, by moving towards 24/7 operations at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.”  On November 17, 2021, the White House gave an update, “Recent Progress at Our Ports: Moving Cargo and Filling Shelves” and claiming the increased hours of operations were delivering on the White House expectations of increased productivity and offloading capacity.

Throughout these past 11 weeks, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg have been claiming their supply chain task force has been successful in generating exceptional results. They claimed changing the hours of operations increased the port capacity, specifically targeting the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.  However, if we look at the actual records from both ports, we find exactly the opposite:
