PIERS MORGAN: President Biden’s shameful move to muzzle the US media is a cynical and desperate Kim Jong-un style attempt to hide the fact that his presidency is turning into a total disaster

It’s the kind of thing that regularly happens in Russia, China or North Korea.

When journalists stray too far above their totalitarian-controlled station and dare to hold their political leaders to any form of proper account, they get a visit or phone call from shady Government officials.

*** and ***

I wonder what it could have been that suddenly turned the media so negative against the President?

Oh wait, I remember.

  • August was when the cowardly leader of the free world threw millions of Afghanistan women to the Taliban wolves with his shocking sudden withdrawal of US troops, betraying American allies and costing many lives.
  • Then he authorized a disastrous botched drone strike on a terror suspect in Kabul that killed an innocent family of 10 including women and children.
  • In September, fresh mayhem erupted on the Southern border due to catastrophic mixed messaging from the Biden administration and Americans watched in horror as US border patrol horsemen charged into Haitian migrants. The President shamefully blamed his guards for the chaos, not himself for causing it.
  • In October, Biden tried to criminalize American parents who protested against their kids being taught woke agenda subjects like Critical Race Theory by encouraging the National Schools Board Association to disgracefully brand them ‘domestic terrorists.’
  • Later that month, America ground to a virtual shuddering halt with a vast flotilla of cargo ships stuck off the Californian coast, and a chronic shortage of food-delivery drivers causing empty shelves to appear right across the country.
  • This was a direct consequence of Biden’s reckless desire to behave like an all-year-round Santa Claus with his massive Covid-19 stimulus spending spree that sparked the inflation that provoked this crisis.
  • Prices surged, especially at the fuel pump, wages stagnated, and vast swathes of the American workforce quit their jobs because their President made it more economically beneficial for people to stay at home than go to work.

Yet far from the media giving Biden a tougher time than Trump over all this, as Milbank suggests, most of them went out of their way to defend him.

Once again, I’m forced to agree with Piers.  Despite being on a different page politically than he is, here I think he is spot on.

As Bill Clinton always said “It’s the economy stupid”.  And Sleepy Old Joe has screwed the pooch on that one.

Single handedly, killing the Keystone pipeline and making US oil difficult to get out of the ground, he has take the US from net-exported to begging OPEC for help.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Piers has assembled a great list of the difficulties that Joe has put himself in.

GUNS: Murphy can’t be taken seriously about “gun safety” … …

Gov. Murphy Announces Support for Gun Safety Bill Package in Legislature

TRENTON, NJ – As part of his ongoing commitment to meaningfully address the nation’s gun violence crisis, Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday urged legislators to take action in the coming weeks and pass a comprehensive gun safety legislative package that he initially proposed in April.

*** end quote ***

The Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee already has the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. And, it’s done squat to reduct the toll.

Here’s an idea: ENFORCE THE FELON IN POSSESSION LAWS!

Argh!

Instead of encumbering the hones gun owners, go after the felons who should be in jail.

BIGOTRY: I wonder what the flight attended would have done with a Koran?

American Airlines booted Brooklyn couple over religious shawl: lawsuit
By Kathianne Boniello
December 4, 2021

*** begin quote ***

An elderly Brooklyn couple was booted from an American Airlines flight because they refused to place a bag containing their sacred prayer shawl on the floor, according to a lawsuit.

Roberto and Elana Birman were heading home from Miami on Flight 322 in August when the “humiliating” incident unfolded, they told The Post.

Roberto, 76, and Elana, 71, brought only a briefcase, a purse and his Tallit bag — a small, 8.5 inch-by-8.5-inch, clear plastic carrier for Roberto’s prayer book and shawl — onboard. They sat in aisle seats across from each other.

A flight attendant began checking overhead bins ahead of take off, pulled the Tallit bag from the overhead bin, and asked, “Whose is this?”

When Roberto claimed it, she allegedly threw the bag on his lap and said it had to go under his seat, the couple said.

“It’s a religious item, it cannot go under the seat,” Roberto explained, removing his baseball cap to reveal his kippah covering his head and explaining that as an Orthodox Jew, he is forbidden to place the precious shawl on the floor.

*** end quote ***

I’m personally offended.  Wish I could have been his seat mate.  He should have said “it’s a Koran” and I bet the response would have been different.

Did American Airlines take any action?

Maybe business travelers with lots of American Airlines should print this story and write a little note to the American Airlines CEO.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why should we have a “Post Office” at all?

The Postal Banking Loophole
By Nicholas Anthony

*** begin quote ***

The Postal Service’s pilot postal banking program is struggling to win customers. Yet, USPS officials “expect to expand the pilot into a fuller study with more locations and financial products” after the new year. This announcement has members in both the Senate and House of Representatives questioning the Postal Service’s authority to launch the program in the first place.

*** end quote ***

It just subsidized junk mail, Amazon, and UPS.

Don’t tell me that the politicians and bureaucrats are worried about the poor people who are unbanked and forced to use “check cashing” places at exorbitant costs.  WalMart offered to solve that problem for the US by offering banking series at every WalMart store. 

Seriously, let’s just outsource USPS to WalMart and save a lot of money.

Look at all the real estate that could be sold to entrepreneurs for better uses. 

Argh!

POLITICAL: Hopefully the USA doesn’t succumb to Davos

Germany Falls Completely to Davos
Date: November 30, 2021 Author: Tom Luongo

*** begin quote ***

If anyone was under any illusions that Germany wasn’t completely under the control of the Davos Crowd then I think this article from Politico should burn that perception into your retinas.

The article details what’s in the new German government’s agreement between the parties. It lays out the goals of the coalition as well as the roadmap for its policy priorities.

In short, this is literally a laundry list of everything Davos has been demanding and it ensures the complete neutering or submission of the FDP’s Christian Lindner to the Davos agenda.

I’m not going to go through them all point by point, the Politico article does that well enough.

What’s important here is that in light of the media release of OmicronVID-9/11 that the new German government is keen on serving its Davos masters agenda fully. Even though OmicronVID-9/11 looks to be the mildest and least interesting strain of COVID-9/11 that isn’t deterring European governments from announcing enforced vaccination programs, including from Germany’s new, fragile coalition.

*** end quote ***

Sorry to say but the global Davos crowd are no friends of Liberty.

The USA seems to be adopting the the worst of the agenda.  As if there was any good parts of it.

Remember good old George and “entangling allowances”!

How little “modern medicine” has to benefit us?

Making people live longer is basically non-existant.

Prevention is worth a tom of cure.

Doctors being named the leading killer.

I don’t often cite podcasts in my blog.

It’s too hard to get a transcript and no one likes to listen?

But if you just spend five minutes listening to this segment, then I guaranty it will change how you think about doctors and medicine.

After my sainted wife’s experience with the “medical industry”, I have rate doctors as above used car salesmen, but below most auto mechanics.  The salesmen know they are lying but you do too. And most auto mechanics can fix a problem on the first shot.

Argh!

Listen to this segment and give me your comments.

GOVERNACIDE: Anti-police Seattle kills family man with its inept

Anti-police Seattle led to an innocent father’s death – as his son looked on
By Michael Shellenberger
November 23, 2021 6:20pm

*** begin quote ***

At 1:24pm on Nov. 2, 13-year-old Drew Yurek called 911 to report an emergency: his father Will didn’t feel well and needed help. Medics arrived six minutes later, but were told by dispatch to wait for the police before entering; there was a cautionary note that flagged the occupant of the address as being hostile to first responders. But the note was outdated, and referred to a previous tenant.

Because of a shortage of police officers first reported by Seattle journalist Jason Rantz, the medics were left to wait outside the house until cops could arrive.

At 1:37pm, Drew called 911 again, desperate. He needed help. Medics waited two more minutes before deciding to ignore the order and enter the building. They found Will and started to perform CPR and apply a defibrillator. But by then it was too late. Despite their best efforts, Will, 45 and a father of four, died of a heart attack as Drew looked on.

*** end quote ***

While we can’t say for sure that Will Yurek would have survived, we can say for sure that the Gooferment’s outdated note was a proximate cause in his death.  It eliminate a chance he could have lived.

I’m sure that no one — politicians or bureaucrats — suffered any repercussions.

Argh!

Remember the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

HEALTH: Covid’s origin is a very dangerous mystery

IT’S A DANGER TO THE WORLD THAT THE PRECISE ORIGIN OF COVID-19 REMAINS A MYSTERY
It’s dangerous that Covid’s origin is a mystery
Published on: Sunday, 21 November, 2021

*** begin quote ***

Until we can rule out a laboratory origin for Covid, we must act as if it may have happened

My article for the Telegraph:

It is almost exactly two years since the pandemic began. According to an official document seen by the South China Morning Post, the first retrospectively diagnosed case of Covid in Wuhan was on November 17 2019, while genetic analysis points to a similar date, November 18. (The so-called “patient zero” discussed in the media this week has been known about for months and is very unlikely to be the first case even according to the World Health Organisation.)

In the case of Sars, 19 years ago, and Mers, nine years ago, the first known cases were followed within a couple of months by unambiguous clues as to how the virus jumped from an animal source into people. Both viruses live naturally in bats, which had somehow infected intermediate animal hosts such as palm civets and camels before transmitting into people.

Yet in the case of Sars-CoV-2, despite the fact that genetic testing technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds, we have no clear pattern of early cases stemming from an animal source. Dr Michael Worobey’s analysis this week pointing to a patient with symptom onset on December 11 who was a seafood vendor in the market is consistent with the Chinese authorities’ conclusion in May 2020 that the market was the site of a superspreader event, not the source. The positive samples from surfaces in the market show no correlation with the sale of wildlife products.

Meanwhile, there are still no cases of an original animal host found to be carrying this virus.

It would seem to be very important to identify everything related to this virus so we know how to prevent it in the future.

SECESSION: Time to enforce “truth in labeling” of Catholic Universities

Catholic University – change name?

# – # – # – # – #

IMHO most, if not all, sadly including my alma mater, have left the straight and narrow a long long time ago.  

Guess they should change their name if for no other reason than truth in labeling.

One has to fault the Catholic Church hierarchy for not discipling those who mislabel themselves as “catholic”.  

Maybe, just maybe, I am old and cynical, but I can understand the French Revolution where the Jacobites killed royalty, celebrities, bishops, priests, bankers, and scientists as an “unproductive strata of society”.  

Unfortunately, instead of removing statues, we should be removing: politicians and bureaucrats, what Michael Malice calls the “cathedral”  (i.e., liberal schools), and the corporate press.  

I see a bloody future in the next civil war UNLESS everyone is allowed to go their own way peacefully.  The Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah should be removed from “These United States of America” just as the South was kicked out of the Union.
