David Foster has an interesting post about how top officials have been elected in the past. He talks about the Holy Roman Empire and “Guided Democracy.”

Guided democracy, also called managed democracy, is a democratic government that functions as a de facto autocracy. Such governments are legitimized by elections that are free and fair, but do not change the state’s policies, motives, and goals.

Many people have become quite jaded about politicians keeping the promises they made while campaigning for office. There have been so many instances of politicians walking away from campaign promises as soon as election day is over. One might say that such politicians were lying to the public.

Amid a supposed new outbreak of the coronavirus, California’s Gavin Newsom was adamant that no firework celebrations be done on the Fourth of July.

If it isn’t, the Democrats, aided by their allies in the MSM, will invent “science” to support that agenda.

On Sunday, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) said that the country is “long overdue” for a national mask-wearing mandate to combat the novel coronavirus. Continue reading...
