Biden Announces COVID Treatment Plan That Mirrors Action Plan of Governor Ron DeSantis


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 2, 2021 | Sundance | 221 Comments

Earlier today, the White House occupant read a new script put into his teleprompter.  The purpose of the script is to outline a new set of federal actions to combat COVID-19 [WH Readout Here].  Within the script prepared for him, the authors noted a new treatment approach that is identical to the COVID mitigation plan put into place by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Biden is proposing federal rapid response teams to set up regional sites where monoclonal antibody treatments can be delivered by outpatient staff.  The quick response teams and regional monoclonal antibody treatment sites have been in place in Florida for almost eight months.  During his script reading, the White House occupant did not want to give credit to the DeSantis approach, but the federal mitigation protocol is identical.  WATCH:

Not noted in the White House outline, but noted in the background phone call yesterday {link}, there is a slightly revealing new bribery policy to actually pay physicians to push vaccines into children through the use of Medicaid and CHIP funds:  “Medicaid and CHIP — the Children’s Health Insurance Program — will start paying healthcare providers to talk to families about the importance of getting their kids vaccinated.”  {link}

The federal government really wants kids to get the jabs, and HHS is now willing to pay doctors for the specific time they spend pushing the propaganda.  This is anecdotal, but when inquires were made about this approach to people familiar with the bureaucracy of the medicaid program, one explanation for the federal push on children was explained this way.   There are immediate adverse outcomes from the vaccine for a high number of specific age-groups.  The risk within the aggregate adverse outcome statistic can be mitigated (ie lowered) by expanding the total number of vaccinations using age groups with less likelihood of immediate adverse outcomes.

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.

The Governor’s budget proposal includes:

  • $87.5 million to expand the existing readiness center in Miramar and to establish three new armories in Homestead, Gainesville and Malabar;
  • $8.9 million for existing armory maintenance;
  • $2.2 million for a new headquarters for the National Guard Counter Drug Program;
  • $5.1 million to support Florida National Guardsmen seeking higher education degrees; and
  • $3.5 million to establish the Florida State Guard.

“We are proud of our veterans and active-duty military members and proud of what our communities do to support them,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida is one of the most veteran friendly states, and I think there are very few places that you would rather be on duty than in the state of Florida. As a veteran, I really appreciate what everyone who wears the uniform does in our state, and am excited about these proposals – they will go a long way and have a meaningful impact. In Florida, we are going to continue our momentum of supporting our military, supporting our veterans and being good stewards of our military installations.”

The military spending budget for the Florida National Guard supports vital emergency response services that the National Guard provides.

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. By establishing the Florida State Guard, Florida will become the 23rd state with a state guard recognized by the federal government.

The budget proposal also includes $12.2 million in scholarships for children and spouses of deceased or disabled veterans, and $3.6 million to improve base infrastructure and support projects that keep our military installations among the best in the nation.

This budget announcement is in addition to other announcements of items that will be in Governor DeSantis’ proposed budget to support law enforcement, education, Everglades restoration and water quality projects. (link)

What Really Happened in Wuhan: Investigating the Chinese Lab Leak Theory


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The intelligence world has stated that there is “more than just a possibility” that the coronavirus came from the Wuhan lab. In this Australian-produced documentary from Sky News, former President Trump speaks on the matter. “Some of the intelligence is classified, and I can’t talk about it, but common sense tells you… I don’t know if they were bad or it was incompetence, but one way or another,” Trump states. While the former president claims it was likely an accident, he said that if it were deliberate, that “would essentially be war.” Of course, this does not mean that China was the potential culprit. Follow the money.

Crimes or Cover-Up? Exposing the World’s Most Dangerous Lie


COVID-19 changed everything. The way we live our lives, how we operate our businesses, how we see each other. And now, the federal government is sinking its tendrils even deeper, threatening the fabric not only of our bodily autonomy, but of the republic. Our American way of life may never be the same. To save it, we must understand the key fundamentals of the pandemic that transfigured our society into the nightmare it is today. What is the COVID-19 origin story? Who are its top players in government and science, pulling the strings? What was their REAL response in the first days of the pandemic? The answers to these questions are frightening. Emails, documents, and federal contracts tell a dark story that is still dominating our lives. It’s time to cast a light on the shocking truth. Because only with the truth can we emerge from the darkness of this “pandemic” and take back the liberty stolen from us. This is Glenn Beck’s most important chalkboard of his life. And the most pivotal time in yours. This special would not have been possible without the careful research of fellow truth seeker and American patriot Charles Rixey. Check out his work for more on Fauci’s Covid coverup and much more.

Increased Consumer Spending Among Scarcity


Armstrong Economics Blog/Behavioral Economics Re-Posted Dec 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The global supply chain shortage amid rising inflation is abundantly prominent. The supply shortage could actually cause people to spend more despite rising prices. Adobe Analytics is already predicting a 10% increase in US online shopping purchases over the next month, totaling $207 billion. An Indiana Institute study explains “pandemic, panicked overbuying” amid shortages.

We all recall the toilet paper and water shortages at the beginning of the pandemic. Stores simply did not have these items in stock, and when they became available, people purchased more than they could possibly consume. Researchers found that scarcity triggered a desire to compensate for shortages by seeking abundance. The average consumer likely would not purchase $300 worth of toilet paper in one trip to the store, but under the pretense of scarcity, overspending impacts price judgments.

Consumers categorize purchases differently amid shortages as well. Typically, people associate a higher price tag with higher quality. “People who face scarcity are less likely to view less vs. more expensive options as belonging to different categories, and thus are open to differences at either or both ends of the price continuum,” co-author Ashok Lalwani stated.

Researchers at John Molson School of Business found two main methods consumers use to compensate for a lack of abundance: the scarcity-reduction route and the control-restoration route. The scarcity-reduction route will cause people to panic buy more than they need to reduce the prospect of running out. Coincidentally, this exacerbates the problem of shortages as people hoard items and they become unavailable to those who need them. The other method, the control-restoration route, occurs when people fear they cannot eliminate scarcity through efforts or spending (i.e., distractions or avoidance).

However,  the typical consumer is compelled toward competitive shopping behavior amid shortages. The researchers at the John Molson School of Business found that seeing images of empty shelves could trigger an increased consumption response. In fact, many are prone to accidental stockpiling where they add a few additional items to their cart that ends up totaling to more money and resources than they need.

Hopefully, we do not see the same level of panic buying that we did during the beginning stages of the pandemic. However, holiday shoppers are quick to snatch up deals and pile up on items in fear that they may not be available tomorrow.

How Hungary is Combating Population Decline


Armstrong Economic Blog/Population Re-Posted Dec 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Birth rates across developed nations are rapidly declining. One country is combating this problem by making it easier for young couples to start families. Since 2010, the Hungarian government has been offering a paid incentive to improve the declining birth rate. Women may receive 10 million forints ($33,000) as a loan upon marriage. Couples are expected to pay off the loan within five years; however, interest on the loan will be suspended if the couple produces a child within the five-year period. If the couple produces three children, the entirety of the debt will be forgiven. Additionally, the Hungarian government announced that women who produce at least four children will no longer need to pay income tax. Couples will also receive up to $40,000 in an interest-free loan to assist in home buying. Childcare services are also offered complimentary.

“To support young adults to be able to have as many children as they wish to have at the moment when they wish to have these children so to give them the real freedom of choice, the opportunity to choose in favor of life as many times as they wish to,” Minister for Families Katalin Novak stated. As a result of these policies, the marriage rate is up 83% and divorce has reached a 60-year low. More couples are having babies, as the financial constraints of raising a new life are supported by the government.

Inside the Actors Studio Presents Alec Baldwin’s Theatrical Debut: “I Didn’t Pull The Trigger”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 1, 2021 | Sundance | 172 Comments

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 triggerno, no, no… never” the revolver just went off all by itself.  WATCH:

The cinematic effort by ABC here is, excuse the punlikely 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.

Nigel Farage Extensive Interview With President Donald Trump


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 1, 2021 | Sundance | 93 Comments

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:

Joe Biden Compares The Shortage of Pet Food, Chemical and Raw Material Commodities to the Scarcity of Cabbage Patch Dolls


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 1, 2021 | Sundance | 198 Comments

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?
