Recent Leftist Panic Takes Context – Democrat Pollster Finds Inflation and Checkbook Worries Twice as Concerning for Voters Than COVID


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 8, 2021 | Sundance | 229 Comments

Considering the recent Democrat freakout over the ‘economic narrative‘, which included a request for corporate media to circle the wagons, their desperation is starting to make sense.

Patrick Murray is a notoriously partisan pollster from Monmouth University {use searchbar}.  Leftist favorite Murray puts the spin in spin-master when it comes to media polling and narrative engineering.

The Monmouth engineer recently released a heavily spun poll warning the communists and leftist Democrats, showing checkbook issues are the top concern priority for Americans – far beyond any concern about the COVID madness.

Keep in mind, Murray skews polls in extraordinary ways; however, yet even Monmouth cannot avoid seeing that 29% of leftist Americans are very concerned with inflation, while only 18% are concerned with COVID [pdf here].  Monmouth’s polls are always skewed with responses from the DNC base, so consider that result amid their own tribe.  Democrats are twice as worried about their household bills and inflation as they are worried about Omicron or any variant therein.

This explains the massive freakout in the backrooms of the White House and DNC at the moment.  Their economic policy chickens are coming home to roost.

“Concerns about inflation have taken center stage in discussions around America’s kitchen tables. And, as one would expect, many are placing the blame squarely on Washington,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. (link)

When you ignore the public spin Murray puts on the polling (Republicans horrible etc), the bottom line is devastating for Democrats.  This aligns with a recent Wall Street Journal survey showing that Latinos are flocking to the Republican Party, and there is now an even 50/50 split amid Hispanic voters.

“One year after giving Democratic House candidates more than 60% of their vote, according to polls at the time, the Journal survey found that Hispanic voters are evenly split in their choice for Congress. Asked which party they would back if the election were today, 37% of Hispanic voters said they would support the Republican congressional candidate and 37% said they would favor the Democrat, with 22% undecided.” (link)

Keep in mind the MAGA movement, which has overtaken the traditional GOP, is an assembly of the blue-collar working class.  The MAGA coalition is not about race, creed, national origin, special interest grouping, or what you do in your bedroom.  The MAGA assembly are aligned in common purpose on commonsense Main Street economic issues.

America First is Main Street first, while AOC sheeple and their champagne socialist base promote economic outcomes favorable to Wall Street and corporate multinationals.  It doesn’t matter how much they use cognitive dissonance to deny that, the economic outcomes are in your face every day.

When it comes to inflation, the AOC ‘Build Back Better‘ program has the direct consequence of making things worse.  They cannot reverse the impacts of leftist policy on energy pricing without changing their structural energy policy – and that ain’t gonna happen.

There’s only about 45 days left (+/-) before the next round of massive inflation hits the country at a retail level.  As the raw material and wholesale price increases hit the retail level, the next wave of compounded increased prices will hit harder -and be more steep- than all preceding increments.

Contract terms for payments inside the supply chain are net 30, net 60 or net 90 days, depending on the industry and sector.   As those prior contracts were delivered, a massive number of new purchase order fulfillment agreements were written without defined prices, because the raw material and processing costs were changing too fast to be quantified.

Those ‘undefined pricing’ contracts and agreements are going to carry the full weight of increased raw material, energy and transportation costs, and those prices are going to stun many of the recipients.

If the leftists in the political establishment are worried about checkbook economics and grocery store conversations today, you can well imagine that worry turning to fear as soon as the next wave of reality hits the kitchen table.

This is nuts.  The White House occupant doesn’t have any idea what they are loading into his teleprompter at this point, he just shouts it at the audience as if it’s supposed to make some kind of bizarre sense.   This doofus is totally off his rocker.  What does this even mean?  WATCH (20 seconds):

I’ll look for a more expanded explanation as to what this idiot is supposedly saying.  Good grief, what a knucklehead.

Biden Team Hold Backroom Talks With National Media, Instructions to Put Positive Spin on Economic Reports


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 8, 2021 | Sundance | 213 Comments

According to media reports of the meetings, the people responsible for the Biden administration are instructing U.S. media outlets to report on the economy as if things are going well.

Unfortunately, massive Biden spending programs, in combination with fiscal policy, monetary policy, energy policy and mandatory vaccination policy, have created a perfect storm of inflation. That storm is growing in scale and scope and is likely to get much worse before it stalls.

The White House demands that media must ignore stunning price increases at the supermarket, jaw dropping home heating costs this winter, prices at the gas pumps that are 50 percent higher than last year, backlogs in the supply chain due to environmental regulation at West Coast ports, and a shortage of critical blue collar workers inside the U.S. Main Street economy due to the vaccine mandate. “Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?”

In short, the White House wants the U.S. media to apply more cowbell to their propaganda.

Even CNN is having a tough time accepting the instructions:

The White House, not happy with the news media’s coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor. Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.

The officials have been discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more. The basic argument that has been made: That the country’s economy is in much better shape than it was last year. I’m told the conversations have been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials… (read more)

Italy’s Super Green Pass


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Italy is now among the growing list of countries that refuses to allow unvaccinated individuals to participate in society. Italians must provide a Super Green Pass that shows proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID within the past six months. Those without the Super Green Pass will be banned from entering restaurants, gyms, bars, hotels, movie theaters, music venues, sporting events, and more. Although the restrictions are supposed to end in mid-January, there is a good chance the “precautions” will be extended.

Italy initially introduced the Green Pass in August that placed certain limitations on the unvaccinated, and those restrictions were later extended. The Super Green Pass is only valid for nine months, upon which adults and children must be subjected to the vaccine again. Prime Minister Mario Draghi hails these measures as the method to saving Christmas. “Our thoughts are of the dead, the fall in economic activity by 109 percent, the closed businesses, the children out of school,” Draghi stated. Economic activity is down 109% due to the laws that are continually imposed on society to prevent a mostly non-life-threatening virus.

President Biden Pledges to Provide Billions in Economic Benefit to Russia Through the Build Back Better Climate Change Program


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 7, 2021 | Sundance | 87 Comments

Many Americans have no idea that Russia is an OPEC member.  Even fewer recognize that Russia’s primary economic export is energy via oil and gas.  Oil and gas exports drive the Russian economy.  Any U.S. policy that drives up the value of oil and gas directly enhances the economy and influence of Russia.

Thanks to Joe Biden’s specific energy policy shutting down U.S. energy exploration, Russia’s economy is booming and has made billions more in the sales of high priced oil and natural gas into Europe and the global marketplace.  That increased oil and gas revenue is directly responsible for Russia’s ability to expand militarily in the region.

So when it comes to threats, like Russia annexing even more of Ukraine as a strategic objective…. Joe Biden is strengthening Russia on one hand and threatening the strength of Russia with the other.  Russian President Vladimir Putin sees this with clear eyes.

Meanwhile the NATO partners who *claim* to be worried about Russia (they’re really not) are the same nations that are buying the oil and gas from Russia.   This was the ridiculous economic dynamic President Trump confronted when he challenged NATO on their energy and national security policies.   Tucker Carlson discusses this:

Governor Ron DeSantis Discusses the Free State of Florida


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 7, 2021 | Sundance | 61 Comments

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke on the inland side of Tampa Bay today as he announced a $276 million state program to support flood and sea level rise mitigation.  The funds are one part of a comprehensive state level infrastructure program to support the incredible growth within Florida.

Even without a state income tax Florida is taking in historic revenue from growth.  That revenue is being used to build up emergency reserve funds in the event of storms or severe tropical weather impacts, at the same time funds are being used to proactively develop systems to mitigate flooding events at the coastal and inland regions.

During the second half of his remarks today, Governor DeSantis also contrast and reaffirmed his position on the principles of respect for individual rights of all Florida citizens and pushed-back against the need for government intervention or mandates around COVID.  Essentially DeSantis recommended that other state governors stop doing stupid stuff.  WATCH:

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden Declares There Will Never Be an Endpoint to the Vaccination Program Due to the Need For Boosters


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 7, 2021 | Sundance | 350 Comments

Approximately three years ago New Zealand’s smiley-faced Fascist Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, replaced Angela Merkel as the female messiah to the global progressive movement. Everything about Arden, including her worldviews on politics, is carefully controlled and scripted for public display {Go Deep}.

Prime Minister Arden rose to international prominence on her virtue signaling around climate change.  The evolution of her leftist credentials continued with COVID-19 ideology including her positions on virus mitigation, insane lockdowns, geographic bubble dictates and her over-the-top vaccine mandate push.

Today the New Zealand Prime Minister appears on camera to say there will never be an endpoint to the objectives around SARS-CoV-2, including the need for an endless series of booster jabs that will require government enforcement. WATCH (30 seconds):

Semi-related…

Has anyone else noted a common characteristic in people holding leadership positions (politicians and private sector) with speech impediments?

I’ve been making random notes for several years about a common set of personality characteristics amid those who have speech and linguistic impairments.  It could be just coincidental but there’s an aggressive, in an assertive to the point of weirdness way, in the general disposition of people with speech impairments that rise in influence.

I know it seems like an odd thing to notice, but you can see it everywhere.  I’ve often wondered if it is caused by how they were treated as children by their peer group.

It’s too common a coincidence to be random.  I’m not talking about stutters or slurs in words caused by physiological challenges, I mean people who have physical challenges that impair their speech.  Many people with pronounced jaw, teeth or palate issues, to the level that causes them to have speech challenges, seem to lean toward unstable (lacking common sense) positions on things.

Wow, Media Openly Advising Public to Use The Safari Rules When Entering Democrat Municipal Regions


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 6, 2021 | Sundance | 352 Comments

An inevitable evolution now takes place as rampant crime, violence and anarchy take over the municipal regions controlled by leftists and Democrats.  What is described, in the video excerpt from ABC news in Maryland, is what we have described as the “Safari Rules.”

As stunning as it may seem at first glance, the media are informing the public on how to behave when entering any area were Democrats are in charge of civil society.  It is important not to accept this new normal; instead think about this broadcast in the larger picture of what it represents.  The media no longer question if you will be attacked; the media are now advising us on how to mitigate our pending attack.  The attack itself is a foregone conclusion.

The deeper blue the region, the more dangerous the crime within it.  This is the natural outcome of policy on a local level that allows criminal elements to operate without fear or accountability.   Smash and grab robberies, armed robberies, carjacking, looting and the general breakdown of law and order is well underway in the municipal regions under the control of the Democrat Party apparatus.

These outcomes are the natural cause and effect from leftist policy being carried out.  This is exactly the type of social anarchy that is predictable from a process of demonizing law enforcement, promoting social justice and letting the criminal elements within society take over.

The evolution of the Safari Rules has been ongoing for several years; however, now it appears the point of no return has been crossed.   The situation is no longer reversible because the law enforcement mechanisms have been deconstructed entirely.   Additionally, the application of law and consequence has been withdrawn from the system.

.

People trapped within the blue regions are now directly being told to follow the Safari Rules.

In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari.  When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.

If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome.  The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he/she should not have gotten out of the car,” and “she/he shouldn’t have traveled to (fill_in_blank)”, or “he/she should have known better when…“, etc. 

2015 in Baltimore, Maryland, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake then became a public advocate for the Safari Rules when she proclaimed her decision to let the riots, looting and arson continue, as it was intended specifically to give the mob “space to destroy.”  Despite the dozens of property owners who saw their shops, stores and livelihoods go up in smoke, the rules of the safari took precedent.

Again, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minnesota, the rules of the safari became evident when looting, arson and riots were defined as “expressions of speech.”  All violence supported by the political left is considered speech, while speech opposed by the left is defined as violence.

Because the visible chaos did not align with the gentle media descriptions of “protests“, the corporate media decision was to modify the language used to describe the arson and riots by using the term “mostly peaceful protests,” that term has stuck within the visible chaos over the past few years in various forms.  Obviously the word “mostly” is a relative term , and that provides the flexibility needed to convince viewers the violence they are witnessing isn’t really the violence they are witnessing.

After years of this type of obfuscation and denial, ordinary life in the deep blue regions has become untenable.  Rampant looting and lawlessness is now the new normal, and don’t look for it to get any better in the near future.

The taller the blue spike, the more likely the violent crime.  All of the urban areas with Democrat policy are the most dangerous in the nation.  The safe places to live are fewer and fewer as the urban regions expand their influence.

Borrowing from Twain, history may not always repeat, but it darn sure rhymes.  These same blue regions like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles were barely livable in the 1970’s, most people have forgotten how bad things were.

What is happening now in these deep blue regions is essentially a circle of cause and effect.

Unfortunately, now those metropolitan areas have expanded into more states and regions from Houston (TX) to Minneapolis (MN) to Atlanta (GA) and even smaller areas like Asheville (NC).  If Democrats are in charge of municipal policy, those areas will experience increases in violent crime and property theft.   Increases in all types of crime are the natural outcome of diminished law enforcement.

The current rise in federalism will likely save the republic; however, those who live in the deep blue regions within blue states are now specifically responsible for following the Safari Rules if they wish to survive.

None of this is accidental, this massive crime wave is an outcome of ideology.  However, and this is the important part to emphasize, unlike previous times when this cycle of violence took place – this time there is no capacity to reverse course.  There are no police or law enforcement left in these regions with the motivation or support to save you.

If you can leave, get out.  If you cannot leave, at least arm yourself while you still can.
