Nashville 32% Increase in Property Taxes


Mayor of Nashville, John Cooper, filed his recommended budget for the 2021 fiscal year with Metro Council. The $2.447 billion budget includes raising the city’s property tax by almost 32% to recover from the financial impact of the March tornado and the COVID-19 shutdown.

Merkel Revealed this is About Climate Change


Little by little, the truth of this contrived coronavirus crisis is emerging. It has always been about forcing climate change agendas. They knew they were losing, even after exploiting a 16-year-old girl. This ruthless agenda to deliberately destroy the world economy was the info I received from behind the curtain. There were people in the climate change arena who sold all stocks and bonds in January because they were going to exploit this virus into a global pandemic. In the United States, they have succeeded in throwing 50 million people out of work. Applying for unemployment benefits was designed to be complicated. After six weeks, people were just being denied. They hoped the people would vote Trump out of office in November, and then totally destroy the US economy so it could be rebuilt with ZERO CO2, which is impossible.

In Germany, Merkel has come out and admitted that she wants to combine the task of helping companies recover from the pandemic with the challenge of setting more incentives for reducing carbon emissions. She is willing to allow companies to fail if they do not believe in climate change. This is really climate change by sheer tyranny.

Killing People in NYC All For Politics?


We have another nurse coming out and confirming that people are being left to die in New York City in an apparent attempt to raise the death toll for political motives. It appears that Trump is afraid to fire Fauci because the press will trash him, despite the fact that doctors are coming out and warning that this is deliberate murder and NOBODY is doing anything. The Justice Department MUST send in a special prosecutor NOT FROM NEW YORK to investigate these hospitals and what is going on.

Every source I have has been screaming that this is all orchestrated for political purposes. This is an attempt to force the climate change agenda by shutting down the economy under the threat of a virus that is no worse than the flu. They want to scare the hell out of everyone to make sure they achieve their goal of destroying jobs and redesigning the world economy in the vision of Bill Gates’ zero CO2 world. Is Bill Gates really following his father’s goal of reducing the population? Is this covert genocide or treason? There are plenty of questions, no answers, and NO INVESTIGATIONS!

YouTube Banned Video of the Doctors


The practices of YouTube are very Stalinistic. There is nothing outrageous about this interview. It is professional and it presents the data which is available to everyone. There was no justification for YouTube to remove this video with the sole exception that they are deliberately trying to prevent freedom of speech and for people to question the dictatorship being imposed under the pretense of a virus which is no worse than the flu.

Are Ventilators Killing People in New York City?


This Nurse’s video has gone viral and has been picked up around the world. As I stated, my first son who was born prematurely died on a ventilator because it forced too much air into his lungs and caused them to burst. Where people are not put on ventilators the death rate is much lower. This has been picked up even down under. No mainstream newspaper will dare investigate in the USA.

First Quarter GDP Drops 4.8% Amid COVID-19 Shutdown…


The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) advanced estimate and the result is a 4.8% decline in economic activity. [BEA Here]

The revised fourth quarter GDP shows the economy was growing at 2.1 percent prior to the COVID-19 shutdown.  The severity of the change in GDP reflects a severe drop in consumer spending, essentially bringing the economy to a halt in March as the entire nation went into lock-down.  As the BEA explains:

The decline in first quarter GDP was, in part, due to the response to the spread of COVID-19, as governments issued “stay-at-home” orders in March. This led to rapid changes in demand, as businesses and schools switched to remote work or canceled operations, and consumers canceled, restricted, or redirected their spending.

The full economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be quantified in the GDP estimate for the first quarter of 2020 because the impacts are generally embedded in source data and cannot be separately identified. (more)

Digging down into the details the data shows what we all have seen.  There is some specific data that is noteworthy in the tables.

Consumer spending on food purchased for consumption at home jumped a remarkable 57.4 percent over the prior quarter [Table 3, line 10].  That stunning increase shows how much people started shopping at supermarkets; and keep in mind the increase only really started in the last month of the quarter (March).

Second quarter spending on durable goods dropped 77.3 percent compared to durable good purchases in the fourth quarter of 2019 [Table 3, line 4], and purchases of motor vehicles dropped 53.3 percent.

Despite the overall bad news, there is some more optimistic data.  While the export of goods dropped 1.2 percent, the import of goods dropped 11.4 percent [Table 1, line 20]. The net impact was positive for our GDP growth at +1.30 percent [Table 2, line 43].

The Import/Export dynamic is following a slightly longer term trend and indicates overall GDP is benefiting from expanded production in the U.S. and decreased purchasing of goods from overseas.  The primary contributors to this domestic economic gain appear to be coming from increased energy exports; a return of durable good manufacturing; and specifically increased investment in North American auto manufacturing.

Further, when we consider that: (1) Boeing was essentially shut-down in Q4 2019 and Q1 2020; and (2) China was not purchasing agriculture products; the net GDP growth in the import/export equation is strong and will likely only get stronger once we restart the economy.  Bottom line: as a nation we appear to be on a track to much less dependence on foreign products.

It does not seem coincidental this part of the economic shift is happening as the USMCA was ratified and corporations are re-evaluating the best location for future investment.  The U.S. stock market appears to be taking note of this investment trend-line.

Current‑dollar GDP decreased 3.5 percent, or $191.2 billion, in the first quarter to a level of $21.54 trillion. In the fourth quarter, GDP increased 3.5 percent, or $186.6 billion (tables 1 and 3). (link)

The data is troubling… behind the data are real people, real lives, real workers, real families; and it is challenging to remain optimistic amid all of the economic turmoil created by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shut-down.  However, there is hope in the underlying data… once we get beyond this challenge.

Keep strong.  Keep faithful.  Keep optimistic.  Remain kind.

Take care of yourself and your family.

Live your best life.

You’re worth it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Could he be the Handmaiden of the Devil Himself?


The Second Most Evil Person on the Planet Right Behind Bill Gates

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been the director  National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He’s been the ‘official’ spokesman for the coronavirus. He’s also in the back pocket of Bill Gates. He recently praised Brad Pitt’s performance of him on Saturday Night Live as ‘classy.’ Pitt mocked President Trump for his handling of the virus. Trump once called Pitt “A little wise guy.”

Trump needs to dump Fauci. Deborah Birx, too. Both are in the pocket of Bill Gates. Fauci saw to it that millions in taxpayer money was sent to the Wuhan lab that cooked up the coronavirus. Fauci and Gates want worldwide vaccination with the ‘mark of the beast,’ tagging technology. They both want medical tyranny. They don’t want you to have any choice about what goes into your body.

Gates, who has neither a college degree nor medical training, once said a vaccine would be the ‘final solution.’ Where have we heard that phrase before?

Gates is an arch eugenicist. Fauci is one of his demons—and since he’s in the medical field, let’s make him a blue one.

Mr. President, Can We Return to ‘Made in America’ Again?


These are the unintended consequence of a Chinese produced COVID-19 crisis

Re-posted from The Conservative Tree house By  —— Bio and ArchivesApril 28, 2020

Mr. President, Can We Return to ‘Made in America’ Again?

On March 9, 2020, I flew back to D.C. The flight was more than half empty which was quite unusual—all flights to D.C. had been running at full capacity prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now remaining flights are almost empty with demand down in some cases by 96 percent.

A month later I wrote an article asking President Trump to open up the economy as it became more evident that the supply and delivery chains have been severely disrupted by the draconian quarantine-driven lockdowns of individual Democrat states, lockdowns which are yet to be lifted partially or fully. This resulted in closing small American businesses, the bread and butter of our economy. Open Up The U.S. Economy As Soon As Possible

Usually a quarantine is established to separate sick people from the healthy and, as the word says, it is meant for 40 days. But the state governors have decided to lock down healthy people, beyond the 40 days, with plans of more in-home confinement, robbing them of their freedom of assembly, religion, speech, and freedom of movement.

With 30 million out of work and fudged death numbers from COVID-19, the hysteria has built up to the point where people are afraid to even get out of their homes without a mask, much less go to work.

Unemployment checks, ginned up fear and panic, bailouts, and forced government closures of businesses based on random decisions of “essential vs. non-essential” have further exacerbated the problem of returning to work. Social interaction has become evil in less than two months of constant government PSAs on TV, radio, print media, and grocery stores.

Salesmen in America used to travel around the country to small towns USA in the 70s-80s and found every little town with a town square with stores and factories around the town where people would be employed. Those factories sit empty now, victims of the production exodus to Communist China or the buildings have been razed to make room for some other development. In light of the COVID-19 manufactured crisis which is destroying the world’s economy, the obvious question must be asked, why can we not build things in America again?

There are many products in short supply right now,  but freezers, upright and chest type, are something that we never thought would be hard to find. One store offered to order a freezer but it would not arrive earlier than June and, if things do not improve, it may be August or later.

A local owner of a furniture appliance store said that “there are no freezers, there is a national shortage.” An order could be placed but the supplier suggested the earliest tentative arrival as the end of May or June.

Then the  owner launched into a discussion about what is going on in this country and how wrong this shutdown is. He said, that if the mayor had told him that he had to close his shop (a business he has built over decades), he would have gone to jail rather than close his store. He was of the opinion that shutting down the country and businesses is completely ludicrous.  He also added that most who come into their store ask if the appliances are made in America.

In a 2015 Consumer Report recommendations for best freezers, about half of them were made at the time in the U.S.

In a 2019 interview, Marc Blumenthal said that “an Amana chest freezer and a Maytag upright freezer are made in Ottawa, Ohio.”

Should we as consumers put pressure on suppliers and store owners to have more made in America products and parts? Is it right to export most of our manufacturing to an inimical country, one ruled by the Communist Party at that, when it is not in our best interest?

If you can’t find a freezer right now and you wish to purchase one, perhaps you should join a grassroots campaign to bring back more manufacturing to America under American ownership.

There are many former manufacturing hubs around the country where factories are sitting empty. Can’t Americans who have the know-how re-purpose old factories? President Trump has certainly advocated so for a long time. America needs to manufacture its own products, especially key industries for our nation’s security such as defense, steel, medical equipment, computers, pharmaceuticals, meat packing, vitamins, appliances, and other essentials for our food supply.

These are the unintended consequence of a Chinese produced COVID-19 crisis. We have allowed China to control manufacturing in the U.S. of formerly ‘Made in America’ products. For a list of products still made in America check here and the reference list at the bottom of this article.

In order to return manufacturing to the U.S., we must train a better skilled workforce. Not everybody needs to go to college to get an unmarketable degree in social and racial justice for which there are so few jobs. It is noteworthy that you prefer justice to rule the world,  but can you feed and shelter your family with a worthless college degree? Many technical and manufacturing jobs pay so much better and you don’t have to spend your parents’ life savings on expensive college tuition. And there is always huge satisfaction at the end of the day for a skilled job well done.
