Fox News Viewers: ‘You Can’t Handle The Truth’


Cutting away is not telling it like it is

Violence and Destruction by Protestors in Portland
Too bad the good people of Portland, Oregon, worried about the violence in their city,  can’t simply cut away from it the way Fox News did today. But they can’t because the violence that’s taken over their home city has been playing out for the better part of almost two months and is getting worse.

No matter how violent or profane, the news is the news, and that’s what White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried to show to White House Press Corps reporters in her press briefing today.

“Fox News cut away on Friday from a White House briefing when Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany showed footage of violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, because the video included images of profane graffiti on a federal courthouse. “(Breitbart, July 24, 2020)

Many folk are used to the signature graffiti left on federal buildings by Black Lives Matter, Antifa and are in fact sickened by it.

“We were not expecting that video, and our management here at Fox News has decided we will pull away from that at this time,” said anchor Harris Faulkner. (Breitbart)

“Faulkner returned to airing the briefing once McEnany started taking questions from the press corps. At the end of the hour, Faulkner said the network had not been aware McEnany planned to show the video. Faulkner suggested she preferred to be given a heads up for violent and profane content.”

Since when did news networks presume the rights to heads up for violent and profane content from videos shown at White House press briefings?

Aren’t most protests, claimed by the Democrats to be “peaceful”, violent and profane?

What’s “peaceful” about protests where innocent people are abused and where businesses are destroyed?

What happened to a major network like Fox News’ ability to bleep out profanity?

Why couldn’t Fox simply have cut away from the offensive graffiti on display and continue on with the coverage of the profanity on video by talking over it?

Surely it wasn’t to keep Ms. McEnany from making her point to White House reporters?

“Democrats have maintained that the riots in Portland were “peaceful protests.” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti claimed Thursday that the rioters in Portland represented “the best of our democratic ideals.” (Breitbart)

“Protesters in the video loudly shouted expletives, and one protester even expressed her wish that police officers would die.” (Washington Examiner, July 24, 2020)

Today wasn’t the first Fox News cut away from something they did not seem to want to report.

Just a little more than a week ago, Fox News host Neil Cavuto used the cut away tactic:

“Thursday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut away during a speech by President Donald Trump on deregulation to fact-check his claims that former President Barack Obama had enacted “job-destroying regulations.” (Breitbart) (Canada Free Press, July 16, 2020)

“Cavuto said, “I do want to clarify a couple of things he said, that no president in history has cut regulations as much as he has. That is true. I think he might have mischaracterized the regulations that were added under Barack Obama — they were largely financial related. You might recall we had this little thing called the financial meltdown, and much of those regulations were geared to preventing banks from ever investing in things like risky mortgage securities, pooling them, selling them off.”

“He continued, “The unemployment rate did, under Barack Obama, go down from a high of 10% to around 4.7%. President Trump, of course, sent that even lower, eventually getting us down to a 3.5% unemployment rate. But I didn’t want to leave you with the impression that during those eight years when Obama first came into office, and we were bleeding about a million jobs a month that that was standard fare and that characterized the whole eight years.”

“He added, “It was not a disaster under Barack Obama. Not only did the Dow essentially triple during his tenure, but whether you want to call the increase regulations and other things that police financial companies, as a bane to our existence, those companies did very well. Americans did very, very well. So I just want to put that in some context here.”

Reporting on the violence of the protesters in Portland is part of the job for any news outlet.

Cutting away is not telling it like it is.

As Canada Free Press cartoonist Dag Barkely points out about the latest Fox News cutaway:

“The (Fox News) management felt you’re not allowed to see the truth of what is really happening.“

Business Education Hijacked by Anti-Capitalist Marxism


America is composed of people of every color, creed and faith and they’re past ready to open for business and resume free enterprise

Business Education Hijacked by Anti-Capitalist Marxism

Education took a drastic twist with the turn of the century. In the works for decades, the very definition of education underwent major overhaul, completing the transformation of teaching into indoctrination.

Education majors watched how programs that once imparted methods of teaching subject matter to pupils refocused on implementation of redefined language – words and phrases corrupted over time to condition thought processes instead of encouraging an exchange of ideas. Retooled teacher training stressed class management techniques (crowd control) and appeasing students and/or parents to avoid litigation. Teaching straightforward content such as math, history, grammar, spelling, etc. got lost in the shuffle.

The steady change in language to suit institutional programming has been wildly successful. Easily influenced non-binary Generation Z (or whatever the ‘newspeak’ has designated 20 to 30-somethings) have had their minds so challenged by educational standards (otherwise referred to as brainwashing) that the level of personal confusion has created a zombie-like herd of social destroyers.

They are the conditioned mobs roaming the streets of progressive-run cities – Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, etc. – fire-bombing businesses, despising law enforcement, stealing property, and demolishing municipal infrastructure to create filth-ridden social anarchy that looks askance at murder.

How did America, of all nations, reach this crossroad? By redefining ‘education’ to makeover public schools and colleges into radical training centers. The fruits of sixty years of communist-leaning academic programming is tearing down what liberty built, replacing orderly freedom with catastrophic chaos.

Destructive education is now embedded in colleges and universities, both public and private. No academic discipline has been immune from the implementation of Marxist precepts under the expansion of teachers’ unions over the last century.

The rugged individualism that built America’s greatness (so detested by communist educators that are now in the majority at learning institutions) has taken a beating even in the business sector. Business programs have been undermined by collectivist thought, converting capitalism into marketing – otherwise understood to be the promotion of acceptable social behaviors. As far as most colleges are concerned, capitalism is dead and commerce must conform to social justice ‘norms.’

The recent spate of violence spurred by a video of the mistreatment of George Floyd in Minneapolis was hijacked by the Marxist (and misnamed) Black Lives Matter organization. Peaceful protests were purposefully infiltrated by cowardly, mostly white, agitators who hid their faces behind masks. Claiming to uphold justice for people of color, they turned nonviolent demonstrations into open riots by planting bricks, baseball bats, and incendiary devices along march routes.

Corporations have abandoned established business practices by jumping on the bandwagon, either openly funding the anarchist Black Lives Matter or routing funds through secondary organizations like the ACLU, NAACP, African American Leadership Forum or Equal Justice Initiative. How some of these organizations utilize the funds is clear as mud because rhetoric is the byword in a post-Covid-19 commercial world. It is the word commentators use in place of the less genteel term shortened into the initials B.S.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are being allocated by corporations believing that by underwriting divisive social justice groups they are promoting commerce. They are, in fact, undermining their freedom to create wealth by supporting non-profits that create administrative programs that do little more than make minority members think something is being changed to promote minority success.

It is how marketing has permeated every aspect of commerce, beginning with business and social education. Establishment educators now teach rhetoric as an accepted component of business curricula, demonstrated by the syllabus for a core class at BYU.

There are two prongs to the ‘devolution’ of the American business model that is being relentlessly implemented in this election year. First is the misrepresentation of the Wuhan virus “pandemic.

Mark Levin broadcast taped comments of Ron Klain in 2009 on CSPAN at the Biological Attacks and Pandemics Forum (a Biden staffer at the time and later Obama’s Ebola Response team coordinator), clearly stating “We did every possible thing wrong,” regarding the 2009 outbreak of Swine flu. “60 million Americans got H1N1” when the epidemic was swept under the rug by discontinuing flu testing. And what did Obama do? Absolutely nothing. No lock-downs, no masks, no social distancing, no school closures and the United States survived without a problem. (Mark Levin Show, July 16, 2020 approximately at the 49-minute mark.)

Compare the 60 million number to the 3.5 million cases worldwide. The overreaction now is an attempt to destabilize the government making it ripe for a democrat takeover, under which comes the second prong attack:

It’s the  Marxist-directed destruction of cities under the guise of social justice that amounts to the dual spread of misery by targeting so-called white privilege. But it’s not the white population that’s suffering most under the incendiary, violent rioting. It’s the small minority-owned businesses and big box stores that are being looted and burned. The purpose appears to be clear – target small business that can’t recover without government assistance, and take out the major commercial centers that cater to minority communities, leaving them without goods and services. Yet major corporations are funding the groups bent on destroying them.

Through it all, blame is directed at white privilege to divide communities and plummet commercial districts and inner cities into engineered poverty. Along with this scheme is the promotion of a ‘defund the police’ movement in an attempt to create a disgruntled, angry minority population that the anarchists believe will form a backlash against law and civil order.

What the resistance hadn’t expected is how their plan is backfiring as more city dwellers of every color are crying out for more police presence to protect them from the lawlessness and murder being promulgated right outside their front doors.

While teachers’ unions are suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for expecting them to return to school and do their jobs, black community members and preachers like Bevelyn Beatty are taking their message to the streets, literally. Supporting law and order and the re-opening of businesses and schools, courageous individuals are painting over anti-social Black Lives Matter graffiti to make the point that America is composed of people of every color, creed and faith and they’re past ready to open for business and resume free enterprise.

Biden and UN Secretary General Call for New Left Wing Social Contracts


United Nations bureaucrats won’t say so publicly, but they must be salivating at the prospect of a Biden presidency

Biden and UN Secretary General Call for New Left Wing Social Contracts

Joe Biden calls his plan to radically transform America’s economy “Build Back Better.” There are four pillars of Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan. Three that have already been rolled out are revitalizing domestic manufacturing and innovation, a $2 trillion environmental and green energy infrastructure initiative, and a $775 billion caregiving initiative. Biden will be rolling out the details of his final “Build Back Better” pillar, advancing racial equity, shortly. Biden has lifted the “Build Back Better” catchphrase from the United Nations he so reveres.

Biden, an avowed globalist, is also calling for a new social contract

“Build Back Better” was used originally by the UN to describe the disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction concept set forth in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This framework was adopted at the Third UN World Conference in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015. But now, following the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, “Build Back Better” has become the UN’s clarion call for a new social contract and new global deal.

Biden, an avowed globalist, is also calling for a new social contract. In his commencement speech to Columbia Law School’s Class of 2020, Biden declared that COVID-19 should be seen “as a force majeure that compels us to rewrite the social contract that’s been scrambled by nature’s fury and human failures.” The close parallels between Biden’s vision of what such a new social contract would look like and the UN’s vision are noteworthy.

Starting with the United Nations, the central themes of the UN’s concept of a “new social contract” are a rapid transition to what it calls an inclusive green economy and an end to inequality worldwide. UN Secretary General Guterres spelled this out in detail in his Nelson Mandela Lecture entitled “Tackling the Inequality Pandemic: A New Social Contract for a New Era.” Guterres said that the coronavirus pandemic “has laid bare risks we have ignored for decades: inadequate health systems; gaps in social protection; structural inequalities; environmental degradation; the climate crisis.” Guterres added that “when building back better, we build back with inclusiveness and with sustainability, addressing the problems of inequality and addressing the problems of climate change.” He called “not only for climate action, but climate justice.” On other occasions the Secretary General has warned of what he described as the “world’s climate emergency.”

The leftist progressives advising Joe Biden’s campaign are busy writing the Biden template for a new social contract

Guterres also said in his Nelson Mandela Lecture that the world needs “affirmative action programmes and targeted policies to address and redress historic inequalities in gender, race or ethnicity that have been reinforced by social norms.”

On other occasions, Guterres has bought into the progressive narratives of so-called systemic racism, widespread police brutality, and the “racist legacy” of slavery.

Guterres referred in his Nelson Mandela Lecture to colonialism as an historic source of global inequality, whose legacy, he said, “still reverberates.” Thus, in addition to creating a new social contract within each country, Guterres called for a new global deal with a significant transfer of resources to the developing world – i.e., massive wealth redistribution. He also said that “A new model for global governance must be based on full, inclusive and equal participation in global institutions.”

The leftist progressives advising Joe Biden’s campaign are busy writing the Biden template for a new social contract, which leans heavily in the same socialist, globalist direction as the UN’s “Build Back Better” ideas.  In the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations, for example, which are intended to help guide the Biden campaign, there is a section entitled “Combating The Climate Crisis And Pursuing Environmental Justice.” The co-chairs of the committee who authored this section are Democratic-Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry. “Climate change is a global emergency,” the first sentence of this section says, mirroring UN Secretary General Guterres’ alarmism.

“Fundamental reforms to address systemic racism and entrenched income and wealth inequality in our economy and our financial system”

“Democrats commit to reducing climate risks and building back better after disasters and climate-fueled catastrophes in a resilient, green and just manner,” the AOC/Kerry-led committee wrote. This would include “a screening and mapping tool to ensure racial and socioeconomic equity in federal climate, energy, and infrastructure programs.” The committee also has the same concern about “climate justice” as UN Secretary General Guterres does. “Democrats believe we must embed environmental justice and climate justice at the heart of our policy and governing agenda,” the AOC/Kerry-led committee declared.

There is also a section in the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations entitled “Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy,” authored by a different committee that is co-chaired by progressive congresswoman Karen Bass. Representative Bass is the current leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and is reportedly under consideration for selection as Joe Biden’s running mate.

Employing all the talking points of the leftist progressives, this section calls for “fundamental reforms to address systemic racism and entrenched income and wealth inequality in our economy and our financial system.”  It seeks to punish those who succeed in our economy with more onerous taxes, and proposes to “equalize established pathways for building wealth.” It extols the virtues of a “new social and economic compact” that would invest “in building equity and mobility for the communities of color and Native American communities who have been left out and left behind for generations.”

“Making racial equity part of the mandate of the Federal Reserve”

In addition to “making racial equity part of the mandate of the Federal Reserve”- a bizarre idea itself –  the “Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy” section of the Biden-Sanders unity document states as follows: “Democrats will direct regulators to consider potential effects of future mergers on the labor market, on low-income and racially marginalized communities, and on racial equity.” This is social engineering on steroids.

“Equity” means equality of outcome, not of opportunity. Biden is being led down a path that would ruin our country by leftists who are anti-capitalist. Joe Biden will be little more than a malleable vehicle for the progressive left’s radical agenda. Waleed Shahid, communications director for Justice Democrats that was instrumental in getting AOC elected, described Biden’s emerging platform as “the most progressive platform of any Democratic nominee in the modern history of the party.”

United Nations bureaucrats won’t say so publicly, but they must be salivating at the prospect of a Biden presidency. They are confident that Biden is on their side and would prioritize the U.S.’s return to the disastrous Obama-Biden Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate agreement. UN Secretary General Guterres, who once served as secretary-general of the Socialist Party in his native Portugal, as vice president of Socialist International, and as Portugal’s prime minister, will find a willing partner in a “President” Joe Biden. To start with, they can work together on their new socialist social contracts.

America’s Misguided Children


Clear and present delusion of America’s misguided children

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 23, 2020

America’s Misguided Children

Imust ask, what does the destruction of statues of abolitionists have to do with George Floyd?

OK, yes, that is the pure definition of a rhetorical question; it has nothing to do with it. And therein lies the crux of what is happening in America. The misguided children, and that reference is not based upon age, but rather level of rational competence, have taken a totally unrelated event and leveraged it for an ideological agenda that embraces violence. The nation was appalled at the George Floyd murder. However, the rational inquiry that should be made is, what does tearing down the statue of Frederick Douglass or Abraham Lincoln have to do with George Floyd?

Clear and present delusion of America’s misguided children

Matter of fact, what do Christopher Columbus, Teddy Roosevelt, or the Washington Redskins have to do with George Floyd? None of those whom I reference wore a Minneapolis police officer uniform and certainly have not been charged and sit in jail awaiting a court date.

Only the irrational, misguided children of the progressive, socialist left would deduce that the way to respond to that tragedy is with violence. And so, business owners who had nothing to do with George Floyd are having their livelihoods assailed, looted.

Then, America’s misguided children respond by saying, “what’s the big deal, they have insurance?” This is the infantile, delusional mind of leftists that justify their brand of violence and mobocracy by saying “you can pay for the damage we inflicted yourself.” I guess they do not understand the effect of their lunacy on insurance premiums increasing.

Just this past week, Minneapolis and Burlington, Vt. declared that racism is a public health emergency.

Oh boy, another “pandemic,” what shall we do now, be forced to wear BLM face coverings? Is there going to be a rush for a vaccine to end the public health emergency called racism? Can I go to my local pharmacy and get an over-the-counter drug to curtail the symptoms of racism? Ahh, maybe a band-aid will do.

Yes, I jest, but one can only laugh and use a little humor to offset the clear and present delusion of America’s misguided children.

Misguided temper tantrums

In cities like Chicago and New York City, crimes, shootings, and murders are on the rise, but two of the left’s most prominent misguided children, Mayors Lightfoot and de Blasio, blame COVID-19. I have yet to hear either of these two take a stand against the leftist violence plaguing our streets. Matter of fact, de Blasio went so far as to assist in painting a BLM mural on Fifth Avenue in NYC…after all, Marxist misguided children tend to flock together. And in Chicago, the black-on-black crime is genocidal, far more than the 2019 statistic of only 15 unarmed black men being shot by police officers. But BLM nor Mayor Lightfoot are taking any actions in Chicago.

See, the misguided children get angry, abjectly enraged, when you refuse to follow along with their misguided temper tantrums. You become the problem…did I mention George Floyd?

Speaking of childish temper tantrums, in Portland Ore., the violence is running rampant in the streets. And what is the response of the mayor of Portland? Try to get things under control? Ask for assistance? Nah, this misguided child lashes out at the federal government which was attempting to restore law and order and serve and protect the citizens of Portland from the mob.

More misguided children.

We watched what happened in CHOP/CHAZ, whatever you call it, in Seattle. The mayor there, a misguided child herself, allowed this little “Lord of the Flies” endeavor to happen. She referred to the place as festive, until what we knew would happen, happened. And it happened that young black men lost their lives, shot, murdered, again…but no BLM protest. So, the Seattle mayor moves in the police to restore law and order. Now, the misguided children have turned on her and demand her being recalled.

Lesson learned: you cannot appease, compromise, negotiate, or acquiesce to the misguided children

Lesson learned: you cannot appease, compromise, negotiate, or acquiesce to the misguided children, so stop giving them the Froot Loops and believing they will be placated, satisfied.

But probably the biggest indicator of America’s misguided children comes from a city not far from where I went to college: Asheville, North Carolina. In Asheville, they have decided to issue reparations to descendants of slaves…after all, it was a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves. Did I mention that the misguided children want to destroy and take down Lincoln’s statue? He apparently didn’t do enough for blacks.

So, who writes the check to who in Asheville, NC? I can almost guarantee you that there is no one alive in Asheville that has ever owned slaves. Heck, I do not think you can find anyone in Asheville, NC that was a slave. The only slaves in America today are those economically enslaved to the Democrat Party because of their welfare nanny-state policies and programs. Yet the misguided children align themselves with the party of the “soft bigotry of low expectations” that still views blacks as nothing more than descendants of slaves.

How utterly disgusting.

We should not be allowing the misguided children to run the amusement park. Where are the adults, the grown-ups, who instill guidance, rational thought, discipline, wisdom, and discernment? Who will step in and be the statesman, stateswoman?

The sad reality is that very few are finding the resolve, intestinal fortitude, and character to confront America’s misguided children. And if that continues to happen, they become useful idiots…and we lose a country.

The Coming Coin Shortage


The Federal Reserve also established a U.S. Coin Task Force

Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 22, 2020

The Coming Coin Shortage

As if the global economic disaster caused by the Chinese Covid-19 viral pandemic was not bad enough, the looming global “coin shortage” and the “unknown pneumonia” (Covid-20?) in Kazakhstan are here.

Why exactly do we have a coin shortage?

  • Banks tell us that the Fed are not releasing enough coins.
  • Armstrong Economics wrote that faith in governments has been eroded. It sees governments as promoters of the idea that money is dirty, and the solution is to eliminate coins and paper money even though physical money as a medium of exchange has been in circulation for centuries.
  • The U.S. Treasury reported a disruption in the coin supply chain and its velocity of circulation due to the lockdowns and the huge reduction in consumption in the last four months of forced lockdowns in all 50 states. People shopped mostly for food and avoided all other venues of direct commerce for fear of Covid-19 infection and because so many places were closed. Many shopped online or in large retailers like Costco, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
  • Allegedly, the U.S. Mint has minted less coins to protect employees from COVID-19. It is an interesting issue to ponder since minting coins and printing paper currency are highly automated operations, with expensive computers driving the printing and minting presses and requiring very few employees, mostly in checking roles to make sure the machines run properly and the mint/print are done correctly, as well as controlling the quality of each batch that is bound and packaged for distribution and circulation.
  • Some central banks are sterilizing money with UV light to prevent the spread of viral infections.
  • The Fed purportedly quarantined for ten days U.S. dollars returning from Europe and Asia.

The U.S. Treasury sees the current coin shortage in U.S. businesses as a decrease in velocity of various coins in circulation. The Treasury estimated the value of coins in circulation in April 2020 of $47.8 billion as an adequate coin supply, larger than last year’s supply of coins by at least half a billion. But the closing of retail shops, many permanently, bank branches, transit authorities, and laundromats due to Covid-19 fears, eliminated the typical places where coins enter circulation.

Nobody knows exactly if people are hoarding coins on purpose or if the businesses that have closed temporarily or permanently have cleared out all their cash registers of coins and paper currency.

“The coin supply chain includes many participants, from the U.S. Mint who produces new coin, to the Federal Reserve who distributes coin on the U.S. Mint’s behalf, to armored carriers, banks, retailers and consumers, all of whom have a role to play in helping to resolve this issue.”

On June 11, the Federal Reserve announced the Strategic Allocation of Coin Inventories which was a temporary coin order allocation in all Reserve Bank offices and Federal Reserve coin distribution locations effective June 15, 2020.

The Federal Reserve also established a U.S. Coin Task Force in early July to deal with disruptions to normal coin circulation.  All interested parties participated – U.S. Mint, Federal Reserve, armored carriers, American Bankers Association, Independent Community Bankers Association, National Association of Federal Credit Unions, Coin aggregator representatives, and retail trade industry.

The Federal Reserve said that “it is confident that the coin inventory issues will resolve once the economy opens more broadly and the coin supply chain returns to normal circulation patterns, however, “it recognizes that these measures alone will not be enough to resolve near-term issues.”

National Peanut Growers Association Saves Washington Redskins Franchise!

National Peanut Growers Association Saves Washington Redskins Franchise!

—Satire

Lance LeGume, President of the National Redskin Peanut Growers Association, in a recent exclusive interview with Ace Reporter Hugh Betcha of the Canada Free Press, announced a stunning new development: the Washington Redskins football franchise will be soon be purchased by the National Redskin Peanut Growers Association for an undisclosed sum which will allow the franchise to retain the franchise name and change the team logo slightly to remove any suggestion of political incorrectness.

“It is a win-win,” announced LeGume as he held up a helmet displaying the new logo: the ubiquitous and tasty redskin peanut. “We keep the famous and revered name, and get free publicity for our wonderful product each time the team takes the field. Everyone is reminded of this tasty snack, everyone is happy, and no one is offended. Who does not love redskin peanuts?”

But when asked for comment on this new development, Nancy Pelosi reacted with an outburst of anger typically reserved for anything that Donald Trump does.

“This is just one more example of the right wing, racist Republicans’ attempt to smear an entire race of people, which must be stopped,” she yelled as she slammed his fist on the desk.  “We are going to introduce new legislation to block it,” she said.

“You mean the sale of the franchise?” Hugh inquired.

“No,” replied Pelosi, “the word ‘redskins’. It is inherently offensive. You may change the logo, but people will still see the peanut and hear the word and be reminded that there are people out there with red skin, and someone, somewhere, somehow is still going to be offended. This is why I do not even eat the damn things anymore. Every time I ate a redskins peanut I was reminded of our treatment of Native Americans over the years.”

Nonplussed,  Hugh terminated the interview and filed this report.

In a related, fast-breaking story, Pelosi announced today that the House will take up legislation banning certain words or phrases, among them: “white bread,” “white milk,” “White House,” “Snow White,” “White Christmas,” and other equally offensive words or phrases too numerous to repeat here….

De Blasio’s Elevator Doesn’t Go All The Way Up To The Top


New York Mayor is walking proof that derangement is far more contagious than the Coronavirus

De Blasio’s Elevator Doesn’t Go All The Way Up To The Top

‘New York Commerce Killer’ Mayor Bill de Blasio is caricatured in a banner unfurled for all to see over the iconic Staten Island Expressway. in a banner, showing Hiz Honor decked out in a T-Shirt imprinted by the not-so-dearly-departed Marxist killer Che Guevara and holding the severed head of Lady Liberty.

“It’s what he’s doing to New York, he’s severing the head of the greatest city on Earth,” Scott LoBaido, the artist behind the banner, told the New York Post.” (Fox News, July 22, 2020)

“New York has turned into a sh—hole because of this guy,” LoBaido continued. “He hates the true New Yorkers – police officers, firefighters … people who built this city.”

“The artist’s banner appeared on an overpass at Exit 13B of the expressway during the afternoon rush hour, the Post reported.

“De Blasio, 59, now serving his second term as mayor of the nation’s largest city, is among a group of Democratic mayors across the nation who have been taking heat from their constituents – as well as from President Trump and other Republicans – for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the rioting and other unrest that has followed the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and recent spikes in shootings and other crimes.

“Earlier this month, President Trump took aim at de Blasio after reports that New York City planned to slash the city’s police budget by $1 billion and paint a “Black Lives Matter” mural in the street along Fifth Avenue, directly outside Trump Tower.

“De Blasio – who later helped Black Lives Matter activists paint the mural – responded to the president by implying that Trump was a racist.

“Here’s what you don’t understand,” de Blasio wrote. “Black people BUILT 5th Ave and so much of this nation. Your ‘luxury’ came from THEIR labor, for which they have never been justly compensated. We are honoring them. The fact that you see it as denigrating your street is the definition of racism.”

Before taking time out to play Crayon Politics with BLM, de Blasio proved that his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top by ordering that only one person will be allowed in elevators when businesses return to work, but as The Daily Mail pointed out…”fails to mention that it only applies when people aren’t wearing masks and they can in fact run at 50% capacity”.

“In New York City there were just 59 hospitalizations on Wednesday; 45 people died on Tuesday. (Daily Mail, May 26, 2020)

“Despite the low numbers, neither de Blasio nor Cuomo will let the city reopen.

“They say there aren’t enough free hospital beds and that they do not have enough contact tracers .

“Employers have to operate a 50% capacity, keep staff 6ft apart, provide them with free masks and let only one person in confined space at a time.

“Hundreds of small businesses have reopened quietly in defiance of the order – de Blasio called it ‘idiotic’.

“He says he’ll fine them $1,000 then keep issuing fines if they disobey the order

On Thursday he ranted that businesses do not get to make up their own rules and said proudly: ‘You have earned your way to the gateway of phase one’ but wouldn’t declare it.

De Blasio a limousine liberal transported about town by chauffeurs

Bottom liner Catholic blogger Ann Barnhardt wrote in today’s post that “New York City has committed suicide by allowing only one person permitted in an elevator car at a time”. (Ann Barnhardt)

De Blasio who spends most of his time coming up with new ways to kill off commerce doesn’t understand the business world.

Riding elevators one at a time in a city of skyscrapers like New York has replaced the days when America rode the rails in trains like the one called ‘The City of New Orleans’, memorialized by folk singer Arlo Guthrie.

You can bet your sinking business that de Blasio never rode the rails with the little people,  as a limousine liberal transported about town by chauffeurs.

Meanwhile the New York Mayor is walking proof that derangement is far more contagious than the Coronavirus.
