If the report from Axios is accurate, the nomination of communist Saule Omarova to Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is sunk.
However, this could also be viewed as an Overton window maneuver where the next radical nominated will be only slightly less communist, and thereby gain appointment.
AXIOS – […] In phone call on Wednesday, Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), all members of the Senate Banking Committee, told Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) — the panel’s chairman — of their opposition. They’re joined in opposing her by Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). (more)
Senator Mark Warner’s opposition is a little unusual. Perhaps this is a downstream consequence of the recent Virginia election. Regardless, at least this is one nomination that did not get through. So far, Biden’s economic, energy and finance policies have been disastrous for Main Street; unfortunately, that also looks like a feature not a flaw.

Under normal circumstances I would not subject anyone to a video containing the most self-centered, pontificating, vile and horrible Hillary Clinton. However, in this example it is Moonbat framework by the insufferable Rachael Maddow that needs to be seen. Keep in mind, his show is one of the most watched on the Moonbat Speaks and NoBody Cares (MSNBC) network.
Mr. Maddow introduces his point by referencing how Big Tech removed the voices of people who were critical of Vladimir Putin in the recent election.
Google, Apple, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter all removed content, and Maddow is jaw agape at the crushing blow to democracy and ‘free speech’ that such action highlights.
In framing his viewpoint – notice how the MSNBC host has to completely ignore that Google, Apple YouTube, Facebook and Twitter did exactly the same thing to any American voice who was speaking out against Joe Biden and/or questioning the results of the 2020 election. This is a perfect example of how leftists need to ignore things in order to advance their ideological points.
There’s not a single CTH reader who could not destroy Mr. Maddow in a debate, simply by staying silent and then dropping the ‘how does that reconcile‘ hammer at the end of the cognitive dissonance:
What is it that concerns you?… Maddow digs hole deeper
How is that damaging to democracy?… Maddow digs with more detail
Removal or silencing of political speech is dangerous?…. Maddow now digs with more ferocious uptalk to make her case
TRUTH HAMMER DEPLOYED – Didn’t that just happen in the 2020 U.S. election with the voices of Trump supporters banned, censored, deplatformed and removed?… Maddow ::: D’oh, crickets :::
The broader point is – professional leftists are now openly advocating for the removal of speech they do not like. When they don’t like the argument they shout racism. Essentially that’s the larger point behind wokeism. They don’t like your speech, so your speech must be defined as violence, or racism, or (fill_in_blank).
Their goal is the reason for the Facebook whistleblower propaganda that was advanced a few months ago. Leftist ideologues now want the information on the internet to be controlled by government. These people are crazy and must be ridiculed into irrelevance.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is being fearful and yet taking action despite that fear. One Australian patriot, a former soldier, shares his message of courage while protesting to support the freedom of all Australians. {Direct Rumble Link}
Joshua 1-9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
– WATCH:
.
When this madness is over, there will be a reckoning. History serves as a guide for what can be expected. The officials within government who are pushing their totalitarian dictates under the guise of COVID fear will not succeed. There will be a reckoning; of that, I am certain.
Expect to pay at least 14% more for this year’s Thanksgiving festivities, according to the American Farm Bureau. The bureau estimates that a feast for ten will cost $53.31 this year, and I would personally like to know what grocery store has such low prices; the estimate seems drastically low. The US Department of Agriculture noted that wholesale prices of 8-16 lb frozen turkeys are up 21% from November 2020. Pumpkin prices have risen 5% due to droughts in California and heavy rains leading to fungal infestations in Illinois. Green beans, a typically cheap staple, advanced 4% YoY, while cranberry sauce prices increased 2.5%. Milk, eggs, potatoes, and many other Thanksgiving staples have all increased in price. Butterball President and CEO Jay Jandrain said that turkey prices will remain elevated into 2022 due to increased feed, labor, and transportation costs. However, US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he is confident Americans will still foot the higher bill to maintain the annual tradition.

Newport News shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls reverses their position on the vaccine mandate and claims they misinterpreted the federal requirement. After further consultations with the federal government, the shipbuilder now says the vaccine mandate doesn’t apply. “This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent,” the company said.
Huntington Ingalls previously said all of its 25,000 workers would need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a “condition of continued employment” due to the vaccine mandate for federal workers and contractors. [Media Link] However, Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin said in a Facebook update Thursday that Huntington Ingalls clarified their Navy contracts “don’t include a vaccine mandate at this time.”
[Via Facebook] President and CEO Mike Petters issued a message to employees Nov. 16 indicating that the government’s Jan. 4, 2022, deadline for vaccination is suspended. The message also clarified that after considerable work with the Navy to meet the intent of the mandate, our Navy contracts with Newport News Shipbuilding do not include a vaccine mandate requirement at this time.This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent. As a result of what we know today, some of the related mandate policies and processes will now change. Because employee safety continues to be our top priority, other COVID-related policies will not change.Here’s what is changing:• COVID-19 vaccination is not required as a condition of employment for current or leased employees.• Employees who applied for a religious or medical exemption will be contacted in writing with additional clarification.• Shipbuilders who opted to submit for retirement or to resign as a result of the federal mandate have the option to request reversal of their decision.– For those who have started the retirement process, please contact the HII Benefits Center for more information.– For employees who notified management or Human Resources of plans to resign, please talk with your immediate supervisor if your plans change. Supervisors should contact their Human Resources business partner for guidance.• Offsite employees will be required to follow the guidance provided by the work location.• Subcontractors do not need to be fully vaccinated.

We have recent familiarity with FBI connections as they pertain to high profile criminal cases; specifically cases with a framework of domestic terrorism {Go Deep}. Against that backdrop, the Daily Mail is now reporting that Darrell Brooks was arrested and convicted in 2007 for a bomb plot against a Nevada casino.
Via Daily Mail – The man accused of murdering five after mowing them down in his car during a Wisconsin holiday parade was previously convicted for threatening to bomb a casino, DailyMail.com can reveal. Darrell Brooks, 39, was busted in March 2007 for calling in a bomb threat to the $43-per-night Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada. (read more)
We already know Brooks had a lengthy 20-page rap sheet of previous criminal conduct. However, the question being raised is: would the FBI have Darrell Brooks on their radar after the events in Nevada?
Unfortunately, it would not be a surprise to discover Brooks was a lone wolf and also a “known wolf”. There is a pattern of the FBI having contact -of varying degrees- with domestic terrorism events and the suspects who carry out such attacks. The fact that Brooks was released from prison just prior to the Wisconsin Christmas parade attack is enough to make the cynical senses tingle.
The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and was tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland, Texas in 2015. The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices“? Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the childlike perpetrator telling a judge later than he was trying to walk back his guilty plea because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort. Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the effort against Donald Trump using FBI resources; the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel using 50 investigative FBI agents; the 13 FBI agents assigned to evaluate a NASCAR racetrack garage door pull-down rope; the FBI involvement with the Hunter Biden laptop that went nowhere; the disappearing Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop –in the known custody of the FBI; and the missing investigation of the Awan brothers.
So yeah, when it comes to a lone wolf driving purposefully and with malicious intent into a Christmas parade, suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious…

As more data revels less benefit to vaccination status; and additional data reveals vaccinated individuals are becoming the group with the most adverse health outcomes; the scientific and medical community -writ large- are facing increased scrutiny to justify the public benefit of a seemingly endless booster approach with little upside.
In essence, what good are all these vaccinations; and specifically all the rules of proving your vaccinated status vis-a-vis passports; if the vaccinated can still be infected and spread the virus? The voices asking this question are growing more loud by the day. Then, all of a sudden….
Isn’t that convenient? A new variant that tamps down the issue of questioning science about why the vaccine doesn’t seem to work. It appears the COVID science always has a way to explain why the COVID science may not work.
SKY NEWS – Scientists have raised concerns about a new variant of coronavirus that has an “extremely high number” of mutations that vaccines may not protect the human body against.
The B.1.1.529 variant was first detected in Botswana, Africa in November with subsequent infections confirmed through genome sequencing in South Africa and in a traveller from Hong Kong after returning from the Rainbow Nation.
Only ten cases have been reported across the world but health experts believe it could have spread further than three countries as nations ease COVID-19 restrictions and restart international travel.
The latest variant has 32 spike mutations in the spike protein, the part of the virus that most vaccines use to boost the immune systems against the highly infectious disease.
Mutations in spike protein can affect the virus’ ability to infect cells within the body and spread but also makes it difficult for immune cells to attack the pathogen. The worrying number of mutations mean it could evade immunity. (read more)
Not to worry, I’m confident a few more scientific lockdowns, distance rules, masks, travel restrictions, compliance checks and booster shots will be able to overcome it. After all, it would be terrible if those COVID quarantine camps were built and then not used.
Pelosi reportedly owns nine properties worth a combined total of more than $20 million already.
But if she picks up the 10,000-square-foot beachfront property, it would give her a big presence in a state led by defiant Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.https://t.co/OA4F77RJJV

A big win for medical privacy and the principles of freedom. Ford, General Motors and Stellantis have agreed the United Auto Workers union members will not be forced to take the mandatory vaccine as a condition of employment. [UAW Announcement] Additionally, the vaccine status of the workers will remain private with a policy of private and voluntary disclosure.
UAW – At a meeting Monday evening, the COVID-19 Joint Task Force, comprised of the UAW, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, has aligned on a policy of voluntary and confidential disclosure of vaccination status for UAW members. Each company will provide additional communication to employees on how, where and when to report their vaccination status.
In addition to encouraging members to disclose their vaccination status, the Task Force continues to urge all members, coworkers, and their families to get vaccinated and get booster vaccinations against COVID-19, while understanding that there are personal reasons that may prevent some members from being vaccinated, such as health issues or religious beliefs.
After reviewing the status of CDC and OSHA guidelines, the Task Force also decided it is in the best interest of worker safety to continue masks in all worksites at this time. (read more)
This helps swing the pendulum back toward the American worker.
While the world is trying to imprison people who are not vaccinated, here Biontech owners and staff will not be vaccinated themselves for “safety reasons.” While 5 million dead worldwide out of 7.8 billion, this is by no means a disease that has warranted destroying the world economy. This is for climate change and the Great Reset. The blind following of government commands without any independent thinking is very serious.
It is a depressing reality, but around 73% of Americans will die with debt, according to a 2016 poll by Credit.com. The average amount of outstanding debt at the time of the report was an alarming $61,554.00 per person. Around 68% of those studied had credit card debt, 37% had mortgage debt, and 6% died with student loans. US household debt has spiked significantly since this survey was taken, and at least three in four Americans will die without the ability to pass on their lifelong earnings to their kin. Survivors likely will not need to pay off the debt as creditors will confiscate any available assets.
Let’s not forget that dying in the land of the free is anything but free due to death and estate taxes. Americans feel more optimistic about the situation than they should — only 30% of Americans polled during a 2017 survey believe they will die with outstanding debt. Credit card debt was once an indication that people were living well beyond their means, but with the accelerated cost of basic living necessities, the gauge is less plausible. This is one of the many reasons why financial literacy is absolutely crucial to maintain financial independence throughout life. It is possible to rise above debt, but most do not. As inflation continues to wreck every sector, it is of the utmost importance that people budget and allocate funds appropriately.
However, inflation will also reduce the out-of-pocket revalue of previous debt. This survey appears to be based on the presumption that everything remains equal. The greater risk will be the hike in state and local taxes, in additional to federal.
