Stuck on Stupid – Biden DHS Denies Visa to Tennis Star Novak Djokovic Due to Vaccination Status


Posted originally on the CTH on March 6, 2023 | Sundance 

The COVID-19 stupid continues, as the world’s #1 tennis player is denied entry to the United States over his vaccination status.

(Via Fox News) – Novak Djokovic will not participate in the BNP Paribas Open this month after the Biden administration denied his entry to the United States, due to him being unvaccinated against COVID-19.

Djokovic, 35, requested a vaccine waiver, which would have allowed him to enter the U.S. unvaccinated, but it was rejected by the Homeland Security Department.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion subsequently withdrew from the combined ATP-WTA event, which begins Wednesday at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California. (read more)

At this point in the COVID-19 era, the decision is more about politics and maintaining a false premise than any effort to mitigate a risk posed by a virus. Ridiculous doesn’t begin to adequately convey the level of frustration seeing this maintained nonsense.

Biden Administration Controls Britain & the EU


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine re-Posted Mar 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration is control the EU and Britain. They cannot independently expand the supply of arms to Ukraine, since the main decisions in this regard are still being made in Washington, as the former British Foreign Secretary William Hague has admitted. The Biden Administration has been completely usurped by the Neocons. They are writing the cue cards. This came out in discussions in Russia. Hague has been a cheerleader for this war against Russia. He too should be questioned with regard to the behind-the-curtain shenanigans to create World War III.

We Need to Question Who Authorized This Act of War


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re- Posted Mar 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

(Download this in PDF to forward to your Politican Wherever you are: Impach 3-6-23 )

Everyone needs to write to their Congressman and Senator demanding an investigation NOW! The acts of Victoria Nuland, most likely the leader of the pack, Antony Blinken, and Jake Sullivan actually rise to the level of Treason, – engaging in using the Executive Branch to instigate war against Russia when that is ONLY the power Constitutionally held by Congress. Meanwhile, Russian oligarchs who have direct ties to Biden and Hunter, are always exempt from his illegal confiscation of private Russian assets that are a flagrant violation of international law. That, many now question, might be tied to bribes for the “big guy” once again.

We need to call Biden to account. He is too out of it and easily manipulated taking orders from the Neocons (Victoria Nuland), to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline – the Neocon goal since the 1960s. This was an Unconstitutional Act of War, for such authority only resides in Congress under Article One of the US Constitution, the Authority of Congress to make war. This is why the press was immediately told to eat their own, Seymour Hersh, by their puppet masters – the Neocons. The mainstream press has been the cheerleaders to send your children to war to be slaughtered on the 21st killing fields to put a smile on the face of Victoria Nuland and friends.

President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and especially Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland as well as National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, should all be called before Congress and interrogated as to their acts. This is an impeachable offense. Victoria Nuland was in Kiev in 2014 pushing for the revolution telling the protester the US could not get involved unless 100 were killed. Nuland was there handing out sandwiches. She probably wanted to hand out warm milk and cookies to show US support for the revolution. It was the US who installed an unelected interim government that then sent the army to invade the Donbas which began this entire war. Nuland should be interrogated for abusing her position to further war that ONLY Congress can authorize.

Was she also involved in the fake negotiation of the Minsk Agreement to buy time to raise an army to wage war against Russia? Did Nuland tell Zelensky to say Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons on February 23rd to force Putin to respond that night in his national speech and then the next day, 24th, move to occupy the Donbas since he also refused to honor the Minsk Agreement? Has Putin really been the aggressor, or has this all been choreographed to support war as was the case with Vietnam and Johnson’s famous line that for all he knew they were shooting at whales that night, and we were never attacked?

President Trump Crushes Ron DeSantis in Head-to-Head Poll, 67% -vs- 20% With Hispanic Voters


Posted originally on the CTH on March 5, 2023 | Sundance

The latest YouGov poll [raw data here] shows why FL Gov Ron DeSantis is about to make the biggest political mistake of his career by launching a challenge against Donald Trump.

If you listen to the professional media pundits who give, and attempt to sway, opinion – and if you listen to the statements from the professional Republican class that wants to remove Donald Trump from the party, you will hear this general talking point:

“The Republican Party needs to appeal to a younger, more ethnically diverse audience to maximize the ‘big tent’ size of the party.”…

There are many current variations of this talking point, but generally speaking this ‘big tent new Republican Party‘ message is what you hear from the Karl Rove, Nikki Haley, Chris Sununu, Mitch McConnell, Ronna McDaniel and the entirety of the cocktail class Republican circuit.  It is a common talking point amid all the professional pundits.

However, to point out the nonsense of their argument, if we take them at their word, what we find in almost every Republican poll demographic Donald Trump’s biggest base of support is younger, less wealthy, working class voters of every ethnicity.  As outlined in the YouGov Poll cited, Donald Trump literally brings to the GOP exactly what they claim to want.  Yet these professional Republican voices use their talking point to frame a narrative against Trump.

Check out the data against the GOPe talking point.  As we have previously discussed, the younger the voter the more support for Donald Trump.  The support for Donald Trump also increases with Hispanic voters.  It is only in the very wealthy white voters where you find support increasing for Ron DeSantis; this is the exact opposite of what the professional pundits claim in print and broadcast media.

As you can see above, Ron DeSantis support increases with older, wealthy, white voters.   Support for Ron DeSantis decreases with younger, less affluent, voters with ethnic diversity.   This is the exact opposite of the professional Republican pundit talking points.  I am highlighting it [DATA HERE] so you can see for yourself and use this reality in your conversations and candidate debates.

Donald J. Trump has larger appeal to younger, diverse, working class voters.   This is the heart of MAGA and why the traditional Republican Party, the party of old white people, is trying to remove him.

Next talking point…. Take out all of the other options for candidates, and just make the contest a head-to-head challenge between Trump and DeSantis.  What you find is exactly the same.  President Donald J. Trump crushes Governor Ron DeSantis.  But look at how the head-to-head matchup turns out with Latino voters:

Donald Trump leads Ron DeSantis by a whopping 47 points (67% to 20%) amid the largest growing demographic group.

President Trump is the future of the Republican Party….

…. and they hate him for it.

Larry Hogan Disappoints Dozens, Deciding Not to Run for President in 2024


Posted originally on the CTH on March 5, 2023 | Sundance

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced today that he will not seek the Republican nomination for 2024. [Video Here]

[Transcript] – FORMER GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN: I was struggling, because my heart was telling me to run. My head was telling me, no, that just does not make sense for a whole host of reasons. And my gut was flipping back and forth. So it really came down to, if I wasn’t 100 percent convinced, then I shouldn’t do it.

ROBERT COSTA: You were torn?

FORMER GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN: I was torn.

ROBERT COSTA: Toughest decision of your political career?

FORMER GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN: Absolutely, toughest decision I ever made.

ROBERT COSTA: Politically, by staying out of the race, it’s a smaller field, may be tougher for Trump to get the nomination?

FORMER GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN: I didn’t want to have a pileup of a bunch of people fighting.  Right now, you have Trump and DeSantis at the top of the field soaking up all the oxygen, getting all the attention, and then a whole lot of the rest of us in single digits. And the more of them you have, the less chance you have for somebody rising up.

Sunday Talks, Joe Manchin Wants Energy Permitting Reform He Was Promised in Order to Support Debt Ceiling and Budget


Posted originally on the CTH on March 5, 2023 | Sundance

On July 31, 2022, According to Manchin a deal between himself, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden included his support for the green energy spending bill, in exchange for two new items in future legislation: 1) Streamlined energy permitting/regulation; and 2) Increased development of Oil, Coal, Gas.  After getting his vote, Biden, Pelosi and Schumer reneged on the deal.

Today Senator Manchin inferred he wants that promise fulfilled in order to gain his support for a debt ceiling increase and a budget package. [Transcript Below]  Manchin also hedged on his own political aspirations for 2024, saying he will make a decision at the end of this year.   WATCH:

[Transcript] – SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Good morning, Brennan. Thank — Margaret, thanks for having me.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to start on that derailment.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Yes.

MARGARET BRENNAN: The president last week praised bipartisan railway safety legislation that would have new rules for trains carrying hazardous materials, increased fines for safety violations, phase in newer cars.

Will you vote for it? Is that sufficient?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Yes, I’m going to be supporting that. We need to do it.

Back in 2015, in Mount Carbon in West Virginia, we had a derailment, 27 cars, tanker cars carrying Bakken oil. It went off the tracks and derailed and exploded and caused a tremendous problem there. And it was very, very dangerous. It could have been a little — a lot worse, if it had been a little farther down the tracks, could have torn up a whole town.

But with that we were recommended that the electronic pneumatic brakes should be something — should be considered that might prevent this, routine maintenance checks and auditing and things of this sort. I don’t think any of that has been done.

And it’s time for us to get serious about this. We’re moving many, many products, many more products on the rails and on our roads than we ever did before. And we have a lot of people who don’t want any pipelines. Pipelines would help alleviate a lot of this problem with the oil that we need in our country and we will be using for quite some time to do it safer.

But out of sight, out of mind. They are thinking, if you don’t have a pipeline, you won’t be using the product. Well, that’s far from the truth. And this is the results of people just not making good decisions. And it’s what’s broken in — in — in West Virginia. And — and…

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: … broken across the country as far as in Washington, the politics.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: It’s broken. It needs to be fixed.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want — I want to come back to energy in a moment.

You’re saying it’s broken. You gave a pretty fiery speech a few days ago in the Senate. You’re at odds with the White House and with many in your own party because you are saying that Democrats need to talk about out-of- control spending and are refusing to negotiate.

You did ding Republicans for not offering specific cuts. If you are the dealmaker — you seem to be positioning yourself there — where is it that you see room for negotiation?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Well, Margaret, first of all, I encourage Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

I was hoping that he would, first of all, take things off the table that doesn’t cause a conflict, but most — most importantly, sit down with the president. And reached out to the White House. They did sit down, had a meeting. I’m encouraging much more of that.

But what we can do is, can’t we get together and just talk about how do we have this much debt accumulated this — in this short of a period of time? Within 10 years, Margaret, we have accumulated the greatest amount of debt in the history of our country in the shortest period of time. Can’t we at least find out what we did and how we expanded?

I know that COVID did so much of it. But, you know, we’re past the COVID…

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: … problems. And what we need to do is to get back to normal.

But we’ve gone from $3.5 trillion in spending to over $6.2 trillion in spending every year in the last 10 years. That’s just unacceptable. You’ve got to sit down. Anybody that thinks we don’t have a problem in Washington, anybody that thinks that the politics is not broken in Washington is not living in reality, does not want to face the facts and the truth.

MARGARET BRENNAN: OK.

So — so, what is the truth here? Because Social Security and Medicare make up nearly 40 percent of spending in 2023. If no one is touching those programs, where are you finding the cuts?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Well, first of all, just do our job on time.

We’ve been told that, if we just had a budget done — we don’t even have a budget anymore. The president is — is a month late in putting his budget out, which will come out next week. But I don’t see the House or the Senate bringing a budget forward. And, basically, by a piece of legislation was passed back in 1985, we’re supposed to have our budgets…

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: … from the House and the Senate done by April the 1st.

The president basically submits his in February, and, by September the 30th — I’m told there’s billions and billions of dollars of savings just right there if we just do it on time.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Sure. But that’s not…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: We’re not even doing that.

MARGARET BRENNAN: That — right.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: That’s what I say it’s, not working. That’s…

MARGARET BRENNAN: But that — but…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: But it gets a downward trajection, basically, and capping…

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes, but more has to be done…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: How about capping some of the…

MARGARET BRENNAN: … done than that. I mean, you know…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Yes, capping some of the discretionary spending.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You — OK.

Well, there’s a lot to talk about right there. But I want to ask you, what is Joe…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Hey, Mar…

MARGARET BRENNAN: What is Joe Manchin looking for in this deal? Are you looking for your permitting reform, for example, that Democrats didn’t deliver on, though they had told you that you would have an agreement on?

Are you looking for that to be tucked into a potential bill in this agreement that you’re saying has to be struck between Republicans and Democrats?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Well, rather — tucking something in, we’re not trying to hide anything, basically.

If we don’t do permitting, and we don’t have permitting reform in America, we’re not going to meet the challenges and be energy-independent energy- secured. If you’re not energy-secured, you’re definitely not going to be a superpower of the world, and depending on other parts of the world to provide what you won’t do for yourself.

That has to be done. I don’t care what side of the arena you’re on, if you want transmission, if you want pipelines, if you realize we’re going to have a balanced energy proposal. That’s what the Inflation Reduction Act was for, energy security. The administration, this administration has touted that as strictly an environmental bill.

It’s good for the environment, but it’s also very, very necessary for us to have the fossil energy…

MARGARET BRENNAN: Mm-hmm.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: … using it better and cleaner than anywhere in the world to have the security we need. That’s what we need to do. And that’s what they’ve been avoiding.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: You have to have permitting. If not, all this is going to be voided.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about what appears to be some separation between you and the president.

You were quoted a few days ago as saying: “We’re just in different ball games. We’re not even in the same ballpark on many things.”

Are you going to endorse Joe Biden if he runs for reelection?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Oh, there’s plenty of time for the election. This is the problem with America right now. We start an election every time there’s a cycle coming up.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes, he’s the leader of your party.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: I — I — no, the bottom line is, let’s see who’s involved. Let’s wait until we see who all the players are. Let’s just wait until it all comes out.

My main purpose right now is to work for my country and my — and my state. That’s my responsibility. I’m not going to make my announcement for anything until the end of the year. I’m not going to make a decision what my political position is going to be or where I’m going to do for my political future.

I won’t do it until the end of the year. I got too much work to do now.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Your political future, you mean the question of whether you personally are going to run for reelection in the Senate in West Virginia.

Your Republican governor, Jim Justice, says he’s going to run for your seat, or he thinks he’s got a good shot at it. Why haven’t you made up your mind?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: There’s too — the bottom line, I got plenty of time to make up my mind. The election is not until November 2024. We don’t even file until January of 2024.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: And to be running and basically — not basically looking at the problems you have, we’ve got a runaway debt. We got inflation that’s killing people.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: We’ve got an unsecured energy. We have a border that’s out of control.

You’re telling me we’re in the same ball game or the same ballpark? I don’t think so.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You said let’s see who all the players are when it comes to running for president.

You’ve said you’re not running for president. Is that an open question, though? Who — who do you think…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: I didn’t say that. I didn’t say anything about that.

I — the bottom line is, I will make my political decision in December, whatever it may be.

MARGARET BRENNAN: To run for president?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: I’m not taking anything off the table, and I’m not put — and I’m not putting anything on the table.

I said I will make a decision in January — at this — at the end of this year.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You’ll make a decision at the end of this year as to…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: Simply that.

MARGARET BRENNAN: … as to who you will endorse for president?

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: What my political future will be, what…

MARGARET BRENNAN: No, but for president.

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: What I will be involved with, how I will be involved.

I will be making — any decisions I make politically will not be done until the end of the year. I’m focused on fixing what’s wrong with Washington. And the politics are so toxic, the more you talk about this party, that party, what candidate and this candidate.

Look at what you have facing you right now. You’ve got inflation. You’ve got, basically, energy. You’ve got these unsecured borders. You’ve got geopolitical unrest. And we’re talking about everything but that.

MARGARET BRENNAN: We are — we have a lot to talk about.

And, Senator Manchin, you’re welcome back.

(LAUGHTER)

MARGARET BRENNAN: We got to leave it there, because…

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN: I’m happy to come back, Margaret, any time.
