The Orwellian proposals keep piling up, and Ron DeSantis continues to be a hero.
When Joe Biden hinted weeks ago at the possibility of further lockdowns, DeSantis spoke to the press and said that that would absolutely not be happening in Florida.
When it sounded as if Biden might restrict travel to Florida, DeSantis pledged to resist.
Oh, and by the way: the anti-Florida ghouls are reduced to claiming that DeSantis must be suppressing Florida’s true numbers.
Ha, yeah, that’s plausible! So this theory is that the hospitals in Florida are actually bursting at the seams with COVID patients, but we can’t know that because the official numbers aren’t reliable?
I see. So every single hospital is in on the grand conspiracy, too? Not even one bit of anecdotal evidence of hospital overflow has managed to escape a single hospital?
It’s almost sad what the Doomers are reduced to.
In a way it’s encouraging, though: these people cannot explain Florida’s numbers without dreaming up wild conspiracies. That means they’re implicitly admitting that Florida’s numbers are great. Otherwise they wouldn’t need to be explained away.
Well, now DeSantis is resisting vaccine passports — the Orwellian idea proposed by whoever is running Joe Biden — as well.
“It’s completely unacceptable,” he said. “You want to go to a movie theater, should you have to show that? No. You want to go to a game, [or] a theme park? No. So we’re not supportive of that.”
He is pledging to take executive action, as early as today.
As Jeff Deist put it, “No private business or industry would require vaccine passports without state sanction and a strong assist from lapdog media to overcome the terrible PR optics. It’s a sick and crazy idea.”
Meanwhile, check out media coverage of Florida. The New York Times just ran an article about rising “cases” in one of the four states in this chart. Which one do you suppose it was?
(Dark blue is New York, light blue is New Jersey, green is Michigan, and pink is Florida.)

Yes, they looked at those lines and decided to write an article about Florida’s “rising cases.”
Meanwhile, back on this planet, here’s a comparison they won’t make (but thanks to @yinonw on Twitter for making it):

Now which governor is facing a recall vote due to his absolutely inept handling of the COVID scam? Hint: It’s not the one where the state unemployment rate is 4.7%. Of course, you will not hear this from the NYTimes or WaPo. The prospect of a recall election does not fit with their narrative of how good a job the blue state governors have been doing. ...

With more and more states dropping mask mandates and other mitigation measures, it is clear that the American public is becoming less and less fearful about the COVID scam. That is not to say that the virus is a hoax. It is real. However, it is no more dangerous than the flu. And more and more of the public are freeing themselves from the Big Lie that is the COVID scam.
This creates a problem for the Democratic administration that wants the country to be dependent upon the government for their very existence. Self-reliant people are less likely to kowtow to demands and edicts from the government especially those which abrogate the very liberties that the country was founded on.
The Democrats would like to send more money to their corporate allies through another humongous “stimulus” boondoggle package. Previous packages have directed most of the money not to the American public but rather to corporate partners and blue state finances.
Also increasing control over the public through “vaccine” passports needs a dangerous virus. As the public sees the underpinnings of the COVID scam being exposed, it becomes a lot harder to sell any of this agenda.

Last week I mentioned that Denmark had decided to require a “corona passport.” This would be needed for people to participate in Danish society. This “passport” would indicate that the holder had been vaccinated or had had the virus and had recovered.
As I mentioned then, this is just another attempt for government to control what the public is allowed to do. Tighter top-down control of the population is a never-ending quest of totalitarian governments. The Democrats in America have been salivating at the possibility of implementing the same thing here. It would provide the Communists Democrats with another method of controlling the people.
Now it has begun here in America. Rutgers University, that’s the State University of New Jersey, has announced that students attending on-site classes will be required to have been inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccine.

Most of the country has already seen increases in the price of gasoline that are closing in on $1/gallon. This is a direct result of White House Executive Orders that clearly violate federal law. These orders have stopped the leasing of Federal land and sea areas for energy production. Multiple state AG’s have filed lawsuits challenging the legality of these orders.
The increase in energy pricing, be it oil or natural gas, will more than wipe out the $1400 stimulus check that the government is sending out. There is the direct cost of operating one’s vehicle. Then there are the indirect costs. Specifically, these include things like transportation costs to bring goods to market. Increased costs for deliveries to one’s home. Of course, airline ticket costs will have to increase. How about heating one’s home? That’s another area that will see increases. Then there is the cost of electricity. Much of electric generation in the US is from the burning of natural gas. The cost of that will go up.

The Biden-Harris administration (yes, it’s official now. The Democrats are beginning the transition to a Harris Presidency) is shutting down the southwest end of the National Mall around the Tidal Basin during two-week peak cherry blossom time.
Why you might ask? It is being done so that the public will not walk around in the sunshine and fresh air to view the annual spectacle. Apparently cherry blossoms are a particularly nasty spreader of the COVID-19 virus (sarc).
The Jefferson, MLK and FDR memorials will also be closed to keep the public away from the nasty cherry blossoms.

The following says so much about the individuals who were working in the DOJ during the last few decades. It also points out and exposes the totalitarian nature of the left.
Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor who now works at least occasionally for MSNBC, wants all businesses in this country to take a pledge that states in part that “The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.”
The “Democracy Pledge” is nothing of the sort. It is an attempt to cement a lie into existence. This pledge is clearly a violation of the 1st and 5th Amendments. The Pledge also includes an affirmation supporting democracy as part of supporting this egregious falsehood.

You are in the market for a new home. You have scoured the area where you want to live. You find what you think will be your dream home. The buyer is anxious to sell but needs a cash sale in a short time frame. You scramble around to come up the cash and are successful. You close on the home. The money is transferred to the previous owner and you get ready to move in.
This was the situation for Tracie and Myles Albert after buying a home in Riverside, California. The sale closed on January 31, 2020. They have yet to be able to move in.

While some of the furor over the election fraud that took place has receded, the fact remains that industrial level fraud took place during the 2020 election. Jay Valentine over at American Thinker has penned several insightful pieces about the fraud that took place. Last week Jay wrote about a meeting with some of the top criminal profilers in the world. The profilers’ comments were chilling. As were Jay Valentine’s insights.
Here is a brief summary.

More and more people are noticing that Beijing Biden will not take spontaneous questions from the media. During the Trump administration, the most transparent administration in my lifetime, PDJT routinely took questions from the media. This was on an almost daily basis whenever PDJT departed from the White House to go somewhere or arrived at a location where there were members of the press corps waiting. These impromptu press conferences often lasted 20, 30, 40 minutes. While some members of the press may have tried to trip up PDJT, the fact is there was give and take in these sessions that has not been seen between a president and the press corps in a very long time. ...

By now most of us who actually have followed the science know just how ridiculous the various mandates to “keep us safe” have been. Dr. Tom Woods has been at the forefront of actually revealing through statistical surveys just what the effects of some of these restrictions are and are not. While I am sure that many of us are tired of the COVID nonsense, the frauds in our government agencies “protecting us” continue to hype nonsense. So, it is important to continue to refute their insanity.
Recently Tom Woods attended an in-person conference at the Mises Institute and has shared his experiences in and around the conference. I have reproduced his report below.
