Fauci and Masks

grampslcf September 6, 2023 Comments Off

As many people have noticed, the Left is once again trying to ramp up hysteria about masks and COVID. Several large cities, New York among them, is now recommending/mandating mask usage.

The U.S. is seeing a late-summer spike in COVID cases, prompting some schools, hospitals and businesses to encourage — or even require — people to start masking up again. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health “is requiring Lionsgate employees on the 3rd & 5th floors of our 2700 Colorado Avenue headquarters in Santa Monica to wear masks.” Morris Brown College, an historically Black college in Atlanta, reinstated its COVID-19 mask mandate and other restrictions for two weeks. There are more examples across the country.

Pretending

If one lives in a leftist bubble, one has to do a lot of pretending not to know things. This was evident again Sunday on The Powerhouse Roundtable hosted by George Stephanopoulos. The panel was amazed that polling is showing PDJT widening his lead over his primary opponents. In addition, he is now polling ahead of Joe Biden with a diverse group of Americans.

2024 Impeachment

grampslcf September 4, 2023 Comments Off

Discussion around the potential impeachment of Joe Biden is ramping up in many places. As has been stated before, impeachment is a political action. Obviously there should be valid reasons for engaging in such an action. However, at least three times in our nation’s history, it was just that, a political action.

The impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868 was a battle between a Congress that had a supermajority in one party. That party did not like some of the things Johnson was doing. Specifically Johnson was for Lincoln’s approach to the re-integration of the South into the Union. That was a far easier process than congressional Republicans wanted to take.

The others that did not have a valid basis, that is high crimes and misdemeanors, were of PDJT. Those impeachments were all about the moneyed classes not liking that PDJT stood up for the majority of Americans. PDJT was curtailing the access to public money that many corporations were utilizing.

To Impeach Or Not To Impeach

Impeachment of a President has been, is and always will be a political action. As such, it must be seen in the view of political realities. Richard Nixon was not removed from the presidency by impeachment.

Nixon resigned because the Democrats with the help of the FBI and Big Media whipped the American public into frenzy over an 18 minute gap in a recording of conversations in the Oval Office. Nixon fed into this charade with his “Saturday Night Massacre” in removing elements of the DOJ from office. This enraged the public who believed Nixon was trying to cover up criminal acts. This led directly to Nixon’s resignation.

To this day, it has never been proved that Nixon had anything to do with the Watergate burglary or that he orchestrated and/or participated in its coverup not withstanding John Dean’s self-serving testimony.

Wind & Solar Insanity

Those who want to control all of us have begun clamoring for Biden to issue a climate emergency declaration. This would allow the government to control all emissions under the mantra of “saving the planet.” The push for such a declaration has slowly been growing.

Each time some natural climate event (think wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) occurs that negatively affects a group pf people, the totalitarian politicians jump up and down demanding that something be done “to save the planet.” Fossil fuels are the target of these imprecations.

More Trans Insanity

Kim Russell is the head coach of Women’s lacrosse at Oberlin College. In March, she shared a post on social media congratulating the female swimmer who came in second to trans swimmer Lia Thomas in a race. The post described the runner-up as the ‘real’ woman who came in first.

Climate protesters decided to shut down a road leading to Burning Man Festival in Nevada. It turns out that the location they chose was on the Paiute Tribe’s Reservation. Out West it is sometimes difficult to know when you are on tribal lands. The result for the protesters was a far cry from what they expected.

Things That Make You Go…Hmm

Conspiracy theories are just that…theories. Until they are proven to be facts. There have been an awful lot of “conspiracy theories” declared as such by the Left that have been shown to be true in the last few years.

There were the “theories” that PDJT was being wiretapped during the 2016 election campaign. Subsequently tons of evidence surfaced that the FBI and the DOJ were engaging in just that activity. FISA warrants existed surveilling more than one person in the campaign circle around PDJT. All of this was done under the umbrella of “national security.” Hmm. ...
