President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial continues for a fourth day beginning at noon EST.  House Democrats have concluded presenting their political evidence against Trump; his defense team now takes over, making the case for why he should be acquitted of the ridiculous charge of inciting insurrection in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Cuomo’s staff has admitted that they deliberately understated the deaths in nursing homes to protect Governor Cuomo who ordered that COVID patients should be moved into nursing homes. There are now calls for his prosecution as he is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in New York. He then issued an executive decree that nobody could sue the nursing homes, for that would have uncovered his crime. You just can’t make up this stuff, but CNN supports him since they have a Cuomo on their staff. This is New York’s finest!

The New York Post is calling for the truth about the Cuomo administration coverup of nursing-home deaths — and that means an independent federal investigation. Meanwhile, even Democrats are now calling to strip Cuomo of his emergency powers. This is why we cannot tolerate any career political class. One term and OUT!

Biden told the press before calling Governor DeSantis of Florida was “irresponsible” for opening up when other states were locked down. Biden objected to Florida opening up last September.

“What do you have to have to have these industries back up? You have to have people from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Minneapolis, you’ve got to have people from the Midwest, you’ve got to have people come down and want to go to those parks, right? Well guess what? They are not coming now because of your governor’s irresponsibility.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Marco Rubio publicly stated that the Biden administration for reportedly considering a domestic travel ban on the state, calling the threat “unconstitutional” and a “political attack” on Floridians. DeSantis said: “Any attempt to restrict by the federal government would be an attack on our state done purely for political purposes,” DeSantis said at a press conference Thursday, February 12, 2021.

According to Michael Baxter, there was a phone call where Biden and Fauci, who is appearing in World Economic Forum promotional videos for the Great Reset, were threatening now to shut down the entire country using travel bans following the lead from Boris Johnson or Spain where you need government permission to move from one town to the next. Biden is threatening the Republican States and demanding they lockdown. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was on a conference call with Biden and Fauci where Biden said he would prohibit domestic travel to and from Florida because it would not lockdown. DeSantis did not take any shit from Biden who claimed he had the authority to “restrict movement” of the people. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that given such authority and it is a First Amendment right to freedom of movement.

Biden claims he might have to prohibit vehicle and air traffic until the CDC and NIH were confident that currently available vaccinations had a proven efficacy against emerging strains, such as highly transmissible anomalies from the United Kingdom, Brazil, and South Africa. In other words, he is threatening to shut down the entire economy of the United States by executive order for a claimed disease with a kill ratio of 0.028% destroying jobs, food production, and distribution. This is total insanity!

Dr. Fauci and acting CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, both supported this action and told DeSantis that surging cases in Florida threatened to undermine the federal government’s expansive efforts to mitigate spread across the country. Walensky argued that no state has the authority to resist a federally mandated travel ban.

Biden then added that DeSantis left Florida’s economy open during “the dark days of Covid.” Yet the cases here were less than in New York. Moreover, Biden claimed he had unilateral and constitutional authority to protect the nation’s health from “rogue politicians” acting in contravention of established health guidelines. DeSantis replied: “I will not comply.” He said that Biden was targeting Republican states that supported Donald Trump.

“Florida absolutely will not comply,” DeSantis repeated. “Instituting a travel ban or restriction of movement would be a gross example of federal overreach with no grounding in law or science. We have Covid-19 in check, and you’re trying to exert unlawful authority over our state and its people.”

Biden then tacitly threatened to withhold federal funding and to deny Florida access to Covid-19 vaccinations.  DeSantis said: “How much do you stand to earn from these vaccines, Dr. Fauci? And, Joe, if you continue with this course of action, I will authorize the state National Guard to protect the movement of Floridians.”  Biden responded: “Address me as Mr. President or President Biden.” DeSantis bluntly said: “I will not, and you can go fuck yourself.” DeSantis then hung up.

Joe Biden is not acting as the President of the nation. He thinks he is a dictator and he will destroy the US economy just like Boris Johnson.

Politico, the left-wing news propaganda, reported that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday lashed out at the Biden administration, promising that the state would strongly and swiftly oppose any attempts to block Americans from traveling to the Sunshine State. DeSantis’ comments were in response to a Wednesday story by McClatchy that quoted an unnamed White House official saying the administration was considering imposing domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, to stem the transmission of a new Covid-19 variant that is rapidly spreading in the state. DeSantis, a Republican, called consideration of travel restrictions “absurd” and a “political attack on the people of Florida.” He said it would be “ridiculous” to impose curbs on domestic travel while relaxing restrictions on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The White House responds — White House press secretary Jen Psaki addressed the idea of domestic travel considerations at a briefing after DeSantis spoke. “We are always considering what steps are necessary to keep the American people safe, but we are not currently in the process of, no decisions have been made around additional public health measures that would delay or would change, I should say, domestic travel considerations,” Psaki said.

Secession is starting to look very good! This is why they have built the Nancy Pelosi Wall in DC. They could care less about illegal aliens, it’s the Americans they are afraid of. There are not trying to pass legislation to make Nancy’s Wall – PERMANENT!

Nancy Pelosi is even lobbying Newsom to appoint Adam Schiff as attorney general because these people simply cannot get a real job. Gavin Newsom was born in 1967 to William Alfred Newsom III and Tessa Thomas Menzies Newsom. Bill Newsom had a sister, Belinda, who in 1960 married Ronald Pelosi. It was Ronald’s younger brother Paul who married Nancy D’Alesandro in 1963, who became Nancy Pelosi of notorious Congressional fame. Nancy Pelosi was related only through marriage. Nevertheless, they both seem to have a passion for dictatorship.

Since we can see that Joe is not all there who is really speaking? Well let the person that is talking in this video clip tell you.

In the middle of last year every media outlet was pushing an extremist narrative blaming the Buffalo police for injuries sustained by Martin Gugino, a 75-year-old professional agitator against police. [GO DEEP HERE]  Ridiculously the two police officers were arrested and charged by a politically correct district attorney.  It was all nonsense.

(CNN)A grand jury chose not to indict two Buffalo, New York, police officers who pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground last June, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn announced Thursday.

Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe each faced a felony second-degree assault charge in Martin Gugino’s fall, which fractured his skull and left him unable to walk at the time, according to an attorney for Gugino. They had pleaded not guilty.

Both officers were suspended from the police force after the June 4 incident, which happened at a protest against racism and police brutality. They remain suspended pending the outcome of the internal affairs investigation, the department said Thursday.

While Flynn said the grand jury proceedings are secret and he cannot disclose details, he said he did everything possible to bring a strong case. (read more)

When President Obama was in office gas prices soared to more than $5/gal.  When President Trump took office he unleashed the energy sector and we became energy independent for the first time driving gas prices down.  Now reports of the current JoeBama policy impact show gas prices likely to top $4.00/gal next year.

WASHINGTON – […] Since Election Day, gas and crude oil prices have jumped. In the United States, gas prices are up 18% and oil nearly 50%.

Said another industry expert, “In four years, we had made the U.S. energy independent and denied the bad guys the ability to control global oil prices. The Democrats undo it in two weeks. Just incredible.”

Many of Biden’s first moves were directed at radically cutting the chances for further global warming. Several will kill jobs.

Every department has been ordered to factor climate change into their moves. In addition, he suspended new drilling leases on federal lands, restricted U.S funds in worldwide carbon energy programs, eliminated “fossil fuel subsidies,” stopped the Keystone XL oil pipeline construction, and slapped a moratorium on federal leases in Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

Higher fuel prices disproportionately hits the working class.  In addition to higher cost to fill-up your tank, transportation costs increase and raw material costs increase.  The downstream impact of increased oil prices are significant.

Economic and foreign policies that return to an era of OPEC dependence are favored by those who push the “climate change” agenda.  Those who support energy independence understand that U.S. foreign policy is able to retract when we are not dependent on other nations for our fuel and raw materials.   It is all connected.
