All the right moves….. We can expect the national media to go bananas as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a bold step in advancement of federalism with authorization and funding for the formation of a state militia known as the Florida State Guard [Announcement Here].

During an event today in Pensacola Florida, the governor announced the creation of three new state-centric armories to support the new state guard units. One in the former airbase at Homestead, one in Gainesville and one in Malabar. As noted in the release, “The establishment of the Florida State Guard will further support those emergency response efforts in the event of a hurricane, natural disasters and other state emergencies. The $3.5 million to establish the Florida State Guard will enable civilians to be trained in the best emergency response techniques.”  Video of presser below:

PENSACOLA, Fla – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced more than $100 million in funding proposals to support Florida’s National Guard and establish the Florida State Guard, a civilian volunteer force that will assist the National Guard in state-specific emergencies.

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 †

The dramatic and cinematic promotional effort is so over the top as George Stephanopoulos plays the role of James Lipton interviewing Alec Baldwin in the grand performance of “I didn’t pull the trigger, no, no, no… never” the revolver just went off all by itself.  WATCH:

The cinematic effort by ABC here is, excuse the pun, likely to backfire.  It’s just perverse, twisted and creepy, considering that someone died.

Whoever gave Baldwin the advice to do this was just playing to his own vanity.   The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity.  That reality has been the Achilles heel of professional con-artists and leftists for decades; and thankfully, most people have retained that instinct.

GBNews is using the opportunity of an interview with President Donald Trump to market their relatively new media franchise.  Perhaps that is to be expected, but the amount of self-promotion from the network around this interview is a little weird.   That said, Nigel Farage and GBNews were given an extended interview with President Donald Trump from Mar-a-Lago for broadcast in the U.K.   The video from GBN is below.

The video is prompted to 09:00 to eliminate nine minutes of lead-in promotion.   Farage begins the GBN narrative by saying President Trump has been invisible to the international audience since he left office.

The interview is broken down into two parts. The first part discusses the 2020 election, the second part covers current events.  During each segment GBN injects MAGA and anti-MAGA voices into the discussion, as Farage says “to give balance” to the interview.  President Trump notes it is important to look back to the problems of 2020 in order to look forward to what is needed for the MAGA movement in the next election.  WATCH:

At some point you have to wonder if the Obama team behind the scenes is intentionally putting words in Biden’s teleprompter because they want him to be mocked in public.

Earlier today Joe Biden compared the shortage of essential products, pet foods, raw materials, petroleum products and chemicals in the U.S. (due to his self-inflicted energy policy) to the shortage of Cabbage Patch dolls in the 1980’s.  Seriously, you really cannot make this stuff up. WATCH:

I would hazard a guess the speechwriters debated using Tickle Me Elmo as an example, and then decided it was a just a smidge too far.

Good grief, this is enough to really make you wonder….  How long?

Sometimes the truth is hard to spot.  It’s like that little out of place thing peeking out from under the boulder of lies atop it.  Everyone focuses on the boulder, because it was purposefully placed there to get attention.  However, every once in a while someone -usually a new voice in the crowd- notices that little part they didn’t quite cover up well enough, and that is when you find out the truth.

Anthony Fauci appeared today at the White House briefing room to promote the Omicron fear narrative.  When building narratives, the timing of things is important.  Fauci was announcing the first case of the Omicron variant in California, that’s the boulder.  However, one of the usually silent and compliant journalists from the African news bureau had this pesky question (video at 16:50 prompted):

QUESTION: “Dr. Fauci, with all due respect, there’s zero case of COVID variant, of Omicron case, in Zimbabwe, in Namibia, in Lesotho, in Mozambique, what justifies imposing a travel ban on countries that have zero cases of the Omicron variant?”

FAUCI: “um,… er,… um,… You know, that’s a very good question, an important question, and, and we did struggle with that”….

… AND he never answered the question, because it wasn’t supposed to be asked.  No one was supposed to notice that little irreconcilable factoid highlighting how the Omicron fear boulder is a purposeful fraud.  They built this fear narrative called “Omicron” out of nothing, for a specific purpose.

The reporter wanted to push the issue, but the White House quickly interceded.   Funny that.

There has been a lot of chatter behind a Washington Post report about the White House planning to introduce new COVID travel and quarantine restrictions tomorrow (Thursday).  However, tuning out the noise – remember which agency of the Fourth Branch uses the Washington Post and things make sense.

The problem for the White House is the public reaction to the new COVID variant Omicron did not meet their expectations.

The White House needs more concern, more fear, more panic to enhance their larger objective {Go Deep}.  The Biden team really need Omicron fear to permeate the American psyche, in order to achieve the Build Back Better agenda.  They desperately need it.

If people just shake it off and go about living their lives, the White House will be facing an electorate angry about inflation; that’s a problem.

The Washington Post report is framed around new international travel restrictions, increased COVID testing, and quarantine mandates as an outcome of the Omicron variant arrival.  However, given the nature of the 48 hour advanced notice provided to The WaPo, it’s likely the announcement tomorrow will contain the change that all vaccine advocates have been demanding, mandatory vaccination prior to any domestic airline travel.  Forcing domestic airline travelers to prove their vaccinated status has been a goal of the vaccine media for several months.

The worker vaccine mandate was unconstitutional federal overreach; the Biden administration knew that in advance and did it anyway because the vaccine isn’t really the end goal, it’s just a tool.  An airline traveler vaccine mandate would be similar federal overreach, and also likely to lose in court; however, that is not going to stop them from announcing one for the same reason they announced the worker vaccine mandate.
