The Glenn Youngkin for Governor bus tour wraps up at the Loudoun Country Fairgrounds at 10:00pm ET a Loudoun Parents Matter Rally. Election Day is tomorrow November 2nd, to determine the Virginia Governors race.
Candidate Glenn Youngkin, a political outsider, is closing in on this heated Gubernatorial race in VA. The rally crowd is very large for this evening.
VA Governors Race – Candidate Terry McAuliffe Closing Message, We Have Too Many White Teachers
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 174 Comments
Not exactly the closing message that a person might expect given the history of Democrats in Virginia. For his closing message ahead of tomorrow’s election in the state of Virginia, Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe says the state needs to get rid of white teachers.
Apparently there are 50% minority students in Virginia and 80% white teachers. According to McAuliffe, racial justice cannot be achieved as long as there are too many white people teaching children. {Direct Rumble Video Link}
Apparently Virginia has evolved on race from “the content of character”, to ‘vote for me to get rid of white people’. Strange, but it might not be a message from a stable minded campaign. WATCH:
Corporate and Political Elite Gather at COP26 To Discuss How The Global Population Destroying The Planet – An Ideological Motive to Deploy a Mandatory Vaccine To Eliminate Human Lifespans
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 620 Comments
If you really believed that man made global warming was real…. and if you really believed that global population growth was the “existential threat” to all humanity and life on the planet…. and if you were part of the elite group, multinational corporations and politicians, who run the socio-economic systems that sustain human existence….. then a strategy to eliminate the population by reducing the lifespan of people would be viewed internally as an altruistic endeavor to save the planet.
If that sounds like hyperbole, you likely have not listened to the impassioned speeches and pleas at the “Conference of the Parties 26” (COP26) assembly in Glasgow, Scotland today.
Humans, as an existential threat to planetary survival, was exactly the terminology used today by current White House occupant Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emanuel Macron, HRH Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and her son heir to the throne, Prince Charles.
All of these global leaders called the people who populate the planet “an existential threat to mankind.”
Joe Biden said: “This is the challenge of our collective lifetimes. The existential threat to human existence as we know it. And every day we delay, the cost of inaction increases. So let this be the moment that we answer history’s call” (link)
Prince Charles called for a military approach, a war footing and the assembly of multinational corporations united with politicians in dealing with the existential threat that people represent. MUST WATCH:
The key point is this: The global elite consider the population of the planet to be the problem.
Pause and think about that for a moment. Man made climate change as an issue is only solvable, in its most dire of circumstances, by eliminating the root cause of the problem, people.
The global political elite wax philosophically about the issue, with increasing levels of severity according to their own definition of alarm signals, but their underlying problem is with a planet that is -according to their worldview- overpopulated.
Now, with that level of urgency behind what they claim to be the “existential threat”, what actions would they consider appropriate in order to save the planet?
This is where the fundamental question about why there is such a big push on the COVID-19 vaccination, that is wildly disproportionate to the risks from the virus itself, start to make a little more sense.
If you want to reduce the population, a key method would be to reduce the lifespan of the average human on the planet.
What exactly would a product do that is designed to reduce lifespan?
A product designed to reduce lifespan would likely attack or replace the body’s natural immune system. This would leave the human immune system compromised so that ordinary ailments, viruses, diseases and illness would become much more deadly.
The human body’s natural reaction to attacking ordinary cancers would be compromised allowing cancer to grow and become more deadly. By suppressing a natural immune system, or replacing it with a synthetic mRNA type immunity design, the natural ability of the human body to deal with illnesses would be weakened. People would die more frequently and people would not live as long.
If people died more frequently, and/or people did not live as long, the objective of saving the planet from the existential threat -by reducing the population- could be achieved.
How do you get the human immune system compromised on a mass scale, in a global population consisting of billions of people? WATCH:
The process to reduce life-expectancy, and save the planet, would explain why there is such a disproportionate push to get people vaccinated.
The virus was the premise.
The vaccine becomes the method.
That would explain why they have been pushing the vaccine so hard.
That would explain why they want to vaccinate kids who are not at risk from the virus.
.
CTH is not prone to conspiracy theories or dark imaginings. CTH analyzes a multitude of disparate data patterns and connects dots in their most logical sequences.
This motive makes sense.
The scale of their anxiety underpins it.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Celebrates Suspending 9,000 Non-Compliant Municipal Workers Due to Vaccine Mandate
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 134 Comments
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took a victory lap today in celebration of losing 9,000 municipal workers and first responders as the deadline for taking the mandatory vaccination has lapsed. More than 2,000 of the city’s 11,000 uniformed firefighters have taken sick days in the week leading up to the mandate going into effect.
“New York City’s fire department is lagging behind its fellow city agencies on vaccinations, with the mayor confirming at a press conference that the fire department had the lowest vaccination rate of select city agencies, at 77 percent as of Monday.” (read more)
HERE’S THE MOVE – Joe Manchin Says NO DEAL, Pass the Preexisting Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and Then Give Details on the BBB Social Spending Deal
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 1, 2021 | Sundance | 282 Comments
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin held a press conference moments ago to say he’s done with the insufferable chicanery within the legislative social spending bill, also called the “human infrastructure bill” or Biden’s “build back better” bill, or the “reconciliation bill”.
Nancy Pelosi has been sitting on the previously passed $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed by the House and Senate {Go Deep} but has refused to allow a vote until a bigger social spending bill -constructed using the reconciliation process to radically change the U.S. by the AOC radical communists in congress- can be attached. For months the debate over how far the communists can push the social spending package has been argued and debated, today Joe Manchin tapped out.
Manchin has done today what he was always likely to do, and two issues triggered today as his moment. The cherry in his construct is Biden’s current location. WATCH:
Now, let’s get to the politics of why Manchin is making his move….
It is not coincidental that Manchin makes this statement today, as the NBC poll showing massive drops in support for Joe Biden is being discussed widely. Manchin knows he is sitting in a spotlight of an inflection point; Manchin is politically astute and cunning to the ways of politics. Manchin comes across as meek and mild-tempered, a man of reasonable disposition… but that doesn’t accurately portray his cunning. This is his chance to make a big move.
Senator Joe Manchin also knows that Democrats are going to implode as the Obama allied communist puppet masters behind Biden have a one term agenda to exploit their control over the dementia patient currently occupying the White House. Manchin knows the collapse of the Democrat Party is his opportunity; he also knows THE REALITY behind the released Marist Poll [data here] showing a majority of non-communist Democrats want nothing to do with the senile occupant of the White House.
Manchin is making a BIG club move by positioning himself as reasonable right now.
Manchin is testing his strength against the strength of Nancy Pelosi.
Manchin will likely be the #1 contender in 2024, he knows it.
Manchin is cunning.
Manchin is not only reaching out to ‘moderate’ registered Democrats….
Manchin is reaching the minds of registered Republicans
Manchin is a very worthy adversary…
At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal. The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass. However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda.
Representative Gottheimer’s group did not concur with the House $3.5 trillion spending proposal and saw no way for it to pass the Senate.
An internal deal was struck amid the Democrats for Gottheimer’s coalition to agree to advance a rules change with two conditions on that August 25th late night discussion {GO DEEP}:
(1) Pelosi would have to promise to bring the $1.5 infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th; and (2) Any larger GND/”Human Infrastructure” bill ($3.5 spending package) would need to be structured to pass the Senate.
Again, back on August 25th, the ‘moderate’ Marxists (for lack of a better term) could see that AOC’s progressive caucus spending bill was unlikely to pass the Senate in its current form. To get the Gottheimer group on board, House Speaker Pelosi agreed to the two conditions, as negotiated. To appease the AOC nuts, everyone agreed to tie both the $1.5 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion spending boondoggle together.
Fast forward through the next eight weeks. The Senate struggled to come to any agreement, as Senator Manchin (WV) and Senator Sinema (AZ), along with others, balked at the insufferable nature of the $3.5 trillion radical change blueprint that would remake the entire U.S. economy and end up with a massive $5+ trillion deficit.
Because the second point in Gottheimer’s deal (House bill must be able to pass the Senate) was not met, the entire process came unraveled. Pelosi reneged on the promise to bring the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th. As the deadline passed, Pelosi tried to save face -en process- by saying the vote would be likely on Friday October 1st, that never happened. Deadlines came and went without progress.
With public support for the office of the President collapsing at an astounding rate, Joe Biden attempted to insert himself and his weak-sauce leverage at the last minute. It didn’t help. The $3.5 trillion spending priority quickly turned into a dead fish, rotting in blueprint outline form without ever making it to ‘reconciliation’ legislative language.
Today, Joe Manchin moved to put Nancy Pelosi and the communists in check.
Manchin has the support of the House Democrats and House Republicans but not the communists or AOC.
Knight took queen off the board….

Chaos of the 2022 Elections on the Horizon
Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Hello! Wondering if the “Panic Cycles” surrounding the 2022 and 2024 elections are going to take place due to the hackable computerized voting machines in use all across the country? What’s to stop the evildoers from stealing these elections just as 2020 was stolen? I was a precinct captain in So Cal in 1998, back when we had those fantastic “slider punch” machines with paper ballots, and it seems like the results were harder to steal back then. Also, we got our results by 11 PM the same day. Thank you for everything you do!!!
CJ
ANSWER: It appears that there will be serious questions over the elections. Besides these machines being deeply in question, the plot thickens with the Biden Administration planning to increase voter eligibility by up to 10% by granting status to illegal aliens. If that actually takes place, we are indeed at the edge contemplating just jumping and ending the America we once knew. It will be more than just: Let’s Go, Brandon, where 4 out of 10 of the top songs are anti-Biden.
Australia Seizing People Homes & Bank Account if you have Unpaid COVID Fines
Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania Re-Posted Oct 31, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
This is the face of absolute tyranny. Unfortunately, he is supported by the police so like a Roman Emperor who has usurped power, he only can do so because the police have turned against the people as they have done in Venezuela. Any unpaid COVID fines, they are now seizing people’s homes, will throw them onto the streets, and auction off their homes. They are also raiding people’s bank accounts so you can see why they want digital currencies. This is the face of a want-to-be Hitler of the 21st century.
The children and their children will NEVER know what liberty and freedom were all about. My deepest condolences to our Australian readers. So these outrageous fines we heard about $5,000 or even $10,000 for not wearing a mask is a prelude to the confiscation of private property.
This is what Pelosi dreams of in the United States.
Companies Warn Biden Administration They May Need to Drop Fed Contractor Status Because Workers Will Not Comply With Vaccine Mandate, Meanwhile American Airlines Cancels 1,700 Flights This Weekend
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 31, 2021 | Sundance | 224 Comments
As we have continued to point out, a federal vaccine mandate might sound like a good idea on a think tank, academic or white-paper policy level of consideration; but on a practical level, wiping out a large percentage of your most productive workforce over a vaccine mandate is unworkable, and might even end the operation of the entire business.
That is the message today within an article written by Politico about several large federal contractor companies warning the White House they may need to drop their federal contracts because they simply will not be able to continue business operations if they lose their unvaccinated workforce on December 8th.
Thus the power of the blue-collar workforce is being recognized:
WASHINGTON DC – Objections among certain vendors over President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors are reaching an inflection point. As the deadline for workforce vaccination approaches, some trucking companies are mulling whether to end their work with the federal government altogether, according to two industry insiders.
In an interview, the American Trucking Associations’ executive vice president for advocacy Bill Sullivan told POLITICO that some companies may simply decide that the cost of the mandate is not worth the government’s checks. Sullivan said he has raised concerns to the White House, Office of Management and Budget and other executive branch officials. He noted that if companies drop their contracts, it may be harder to get certain foods to troops, transport fuel for military vehicles, or even deploy the National Guard.
[…] interviews with more than a dozen industry advocates across the aerospace, distribution, defense and trucking sectors — some of whom have also been in discussions with administration officials — reveal they either have little confidence they will be able to meet the Dec. 8 deadline for their workers to receive their first vaccine shot or expressed concerns about difficulties the mandate would pose on their labor force.
The White House has repeatedly insisted — both in private meetings and publicly — that the federal contractors can avoid potential service disruptions during the holiday season. (read more)
The reaction from the Biden administration is laughable. As you would expect from a wonk-minded bureaucratic outlook, their solution is to put the employees into intensive reeducation camps saying the companies “must begin counseling them on the vaccine’s benefits and the ramifications for noncompliance.”
It is important to note the recent NBC poll on this issue amid the outlook of the vaccine mandates. A majority of the country do not support the vaccine mandates, and worse still, the number of unvaccinated workers is essentially unwavering in the past six weeks {poll data}. Remember, the number of Americans who willingly quit their jobs increased to 4.3 million in August {link}. People are not f**king around now.
The number of cumulative hard “NO’s” has gone from 26 percent in August, to 27 percent now.
We are down to the hardened group, an educated and solid bunch of people who use common sense, and they are not going to take the forced vaccination. In quantifiable terms, the increased pressure to force the jab into the arms of the American workforce has now crossed into “the law of diminishing returns.” More government pressure ain’t going to yield the previous level of compliance. This threshold crossed is also quantifiable in the 4.3 million Americans who quit working (242,000 of them in August alone).
There are 205 million legally eligible U.S. workers between 15 and 74-years-old (census figures) with a workforce participation rate of 61% (BLS figures) which would equal 125 million legally eligible workers. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the number of working Americans at 161 million workers (BLS figures). The majority of the difference between the two figures are most likely illegal alien workers (yeah, lots of them).
Approximately 40 percent of the eligible population are not working. Some people are single family income (wives or husbands who don’t work), and some are just people who choose not to work, cannot work or have not yet started to work (college etc). With somewhere between 125 million and 161 million workers doing the jobs that keep the country functioning, there are also approximately 10 million unfilled job openings.
According to the most recent statement from Joe Biden on October 14th: “We’re down to 66 million — it’s still an unacceptably high number — of unvaccinated people from almost 100 million in July.” Approximately 60 million of those are within the current U.S. workforce.
If we split the difference (census -vs- BLS) and take the mid-point at 140 million workers, then 60 million workers refusing the vaccine mandate represents about 40 percent of the entire population of eligible workers. Put another way, in the best case scenario, if 60 million people quit working or were fired, the national unemployment rate would be at least 35% !
What we call the United States doesn’t function with 35% unemployment; systems of commerce start to collapse, then government, then civil society.
The U.S. economy is currently functioning with 5% unemployment and 10 million unfilled jobs.
Just imagine the economic impact of 35% unemployment and 70 million unfilled jobs.
Keep in mind, the vast majority of those 60 million jobs are the productive workforce that keep the entire machine of the U.S. functioning.
This is the workforce that keeps the goods moving, the lights on, garbage picked up, streets safe, shelves stocked, stuff fixed and facilitates everything that makes the entire system of society function.
It is the force of this crew or hard core, dirty fingernail, no-nonsense workers that is pushing those federal contractor companies to contact the administration and tell them this mandate is not going to work for them. If the companies have to choose between losing their ability to contract with the federal government, or losing the most critical part of their workforce, well, they ain’t going to stick with Biden’s mandate.
There ain’t no way in heck that government or private industry can function with tens of millions of Americans in the workforce getting forcibly removed for refusing the vaccine. I believe that is why you are now hearing from companies saying they will not fire the unvaccinated workers (ex Delta Airlines).
Pontificating leftists and academics, without a bit of sense for what actually happens in the Main Street economy, have no concept of what it looks like if ten million people quit or are fired from working next month…. let alone five times that many. Bottom line: THIS IS A NON-ENFORCEABLE MANDATE, even if they wanted to do it.
The power of the American workforce is in the scale of dependency each person brings to the system when they are united. It might seem like a few thousand here/there, because that’s the way the media are framing it. However, if you add up all those few thousands together, you end up with millions.
As we previously outlined, this is not about vaccines per se’, this is more about a slippery slope of having the government dictate how you can live your life and earn a living.
If they can force us to have a medical procedure, and then carry documentation of that procedure in order to work… why can’t they force us to get a small electronic implant of our identification, which would coincidentally include your medical authorizations for work?
It’s just a metal detector…. it’s just taking off your shoes… it’s just wearing a mask…. it’s just a vaccination….. it’s just a COVID passport… it’s always, “just”.
Factually, at the end of all this, I still do not believe a federal mandate for a vaccine is even possible or legal. It appears to me that all of Biden’s threats in this regard are simply that, threats.
The purpose of the threat is to push people to take the vaccine without actually attempting a legal federal mandate; and that approach so far has been successful. However, now they are going to encounter the more hard-core groups who will not concede liberty or freedom to a federal mandate.
It is obvious Anthony Fauci also knows a federal vaccine mandate on the private sector will lose in court when challenged. The fact that Fauci brings up state vaccination requirements for education as examples of historically forced vaccinations is both a strawman argument and structurally false. There has never been a FEDERAL mandate for any vaccination. All the vaccinations Fauci discusses (ex. his kids) were state mandates. Each state also has a different set of standards and laws for children and vaccines. There is nothing federal.
The federal government is attempting to set up a federal work authorization standard for private businesses. Non-compliance means you cannot work, or you lose your existing job if your employer goes along with the government demand. THAT alone should alarm everyone.
There is a particularly enraging irony in that Joe Biden’s federal DOJ and Dept of Labor do not enforce employment eligibility authorization for illegal aliens based on legal status, while at the same time the Biden Dept. of Labor is putting OSHA in charge of a federal policy that will enforce vaccination requirements. Go figure.
All of the federal exemptions essentially undermine the “national health emergency” argument, because if there really was such a public health emergency, there would be no exemptions at all. The application of the executive order undermines the actual cornerstone of the executive order itself. It cannot withstand scrutiny…. hence, Biden doesn’t actually put any rules or regulations into writing because that gives lawsuits something specific to file injunctions against.
In the interim, as the freedom coalition digs in to mount a patriotic challenge, the authoritarian attempt of the federal government, the rebellious alliance is hitting back in unique ways as noted by the Southwest Airline pilots and Air Traffic Controllers, both groups hold a significant military service record. As noted, this weekend American Airlines was forced to cancel 1,700 flights due to staffing issues:
NPR […] American Airlines cancelled more than 1,700 flights over Halloween weekend, including more than 800 on Sunday alone, due to weather and staff shortages, the company said. […] American Airlines says that 343 were cancelled on Friday, followed by another 548 cancellations on Saturday. Most of the cancelled flights were coming to and from the airline’s main hub in Dallas/Fort Worth, as well as in Charlotte, N.C.
[…] In a letter to staff sent out Saturday, the company’s chief operating officer, David Seymour, said the company “proactively” cancelled flights on Sunday because of severe winds in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and a shortage of crews. (read more)
Another group who are pushing back against the federal effort are local law enforcement and firefighters. Again, another private sector group that has a heavy percentage of former military service members amid the ranks.
The blue-collar effort to bolster the resistance by these groups does not have to be too massive to have an impact. Remember, almost all of these leftists and elite minded communists who now operate as Democrats have no capacity for self-sufficiency. If the working class stops picking up their trash; stops mowing their lawns, shopping for them, doing their cleaning and essentially facilitating their lives, this entire group of scholastic-minded knuckleheads cannot function.
From a commonsense and logistical perspective, regardless of the federal outlook, there’s no way they can pull it off. We are the quiet, and according to those who look down their noses – the “invisible” unwashed masses. However, when it comes to keeping the gears turning, we are the majority.
We keep their shit working and just want to be left alone. The system will not function if tens-of-millions of American workers stand united against the vaccine mandate. It really is that simple.
Sunday Talks, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Says West Coast Port Backlog Unlikely to Be Resolved Until Every American is Vaccinated
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 31, 2021 | Sundance | 292 Comments
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on the DC narrative shaping program hosted by swamp gatekeeper Chris Wallace. Within the interview Buttigieg was questioned about why West Coast port backups are worse now than before the White House announced their solution to operate ports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Buttigieg proclaimed the ports are being impacted by the pandemic, and ships stuck in China are the reason why ships are sitting off the coast of California. Yeah, try to square that circular logic. LOL. The scale of incompetence, even in common sense politispeak, is off the charts. The illogical statements by this guy are legendary; however, he outdid himself today.
Eventually Pete weaves his way through fourteen nonsensical catch phrases to get to a point where he proclaims nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated. And yes, it appears that he is so stuck in pretzel-speak, Buttigieg actually believes that.
All of that said, I wouldn’t post this for review if it wasn’t for the ‘hard-hitting‘ segment from Wallace that comes right after. You just gotta watch (prompted):
The southern border is in crisis, food inflation is skyrocketing, transportation and logistical supply chains are a mess because of emissions and regulation, store shelves are empty, gasoline is ridiculously expensive, the blue-collar working class is getting crushed, the vaccination mandate is wreaking havoc on jobs, airlines and employment for first responders, overall national anxiety is at a high point, the economy is in a free-fall and two-thirds of all Americans now say the administration is incompetent. Along comes Chris Wallace with the hard-hitting question about what Pete and his husband are doing with their twins for Halloween.
Lets Go Brandon !
As noted, and as previously outlined, the issues with the backlog of the California ports have absolutely nothing to do with rapid unloading of ships and container vessels. The issue is the inability of California truckers to move those containers. The problem is a shortage of CA emission compliant internal transportation trucks to move the containers out of the port and into the U.S. mainland.
As a result… the politically expedient goal to get rid of the optical problem (the ships) by offloading containers into a California port system, that is already overwhelmed with tens-of-thousands of containers, is only making the original issue exponentially worse. More people are now starting to understand the internal issue that has been created by recent California laws, rules and regulations.
Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Magazine has a solid outline of the emission compliance issues and the problem of independent truckers not being able to work in California:
Front Page Magazine – […] Over the summer, the California Trucking Association actually went to the Supreme Court to fight AB5 and allow owners and operators to use independent contractors. The CTA listed 70,000 owner operators. In the years since AB5, Ubers have become scarcer and more expensive, which is what the law was actually designed to do, but the consequences to the trucking industry have been far worse albeit invisible to most people until now. While truckers are still protected from AB5, many in the industry are not willing to bet their future on SCOTUS.
AB5 was not only the assault on the trucking industry by California Democrats who were aggressively trying to unionize the industry and to impose environmental regulations on it.
Last year, the California Air Resources Board issued a press release boasting that it had taken a “bold step to reduce truck pollution”. The bold step required switching to electric trucks.
“We are showing the world that we can move goods, grow our economy and finally dump dirty diesel,” Jared Blumenfeld, California’s Secretary for Environmental Protection, sneered.
[…] Last year, California’s DMV began refusing to register thousands of trucks with an estimated 100,000 trucks under threat. With “green” trucks costing $70,000 more, this was a non-starter for already troubled independent owner-operators and even larger companies.
[…] Biden called for ports to operate around the clock, but that’s not going to magically bring back thousands of trucks or truckers. California Democrats still haven’t changed their regulations and without that, there’s no incentive or even legal structure that would allow trucks to operate. (read more)
