scumbag/worthless-Stacey Abrams: Liar and Cheat

cyhJLH63-pIcE8bRClR7Fa4ZF24eBzBOOURhBHbJKfhrYp4IOtUnLaGPCxA4_n_FOthzFRDAqJEvwqthiGJLNVKsNPMAthXFfDOdtrA2zc334PBO5pgzO10LUPp_zA=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

Someone — we’re not sure who — once said that a dog can have ticks and fleas, the point being that the one doesn’t preclude the other. Similarly, scumbag/worthless-Stacey Abrams can be a liar and a cheat.

And, sure enough, she is.

Recall that scumbag/worthless-Abrams soiled herself  earlier this month when she pressured Major League Baseball, whose annual All-Star Game was to be played in Atlanta this year, to denounce as racist Georgia’s newly passed voting reform law and to instead support the Democrats’ pro-fraud HR 1 bill, which would loosen and federalize election laws in all 50 states. And recall that Abrams’s pressure campaign backfired, as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred took his All-Star Game and his $100 million and skedaddled from partisan Atlanta, which is majority-black, to peaceful Denver, which is 76% white. Oops.

scumbag/worthless-Abrams then did what Democrats always do: She blames Republicans for what she herself was guilty of. “Georgia Republicans,” she tweeted, “must renounce the terrible damage they have caused to our voting system and the harm they have inflicted on our economy.”

It was a diabolical piece of misdirection, and now we’re learning just what lengths she and her mainstream media stooges have gone to in order to cover her dirty tracks. As Fox News’s Joseph Wulfsohn reports, “USA Today is facing intense backlash for allowing prominent Georgia Democrat scumbag/worthless-Stacey Abrams to retroactively make changes to a March 31 op-ed that watered-down her support for boycotts after Major League Baseball (MLB) moved its All-Star game out of Atlanta days later.”

Got that? USA Today allowed Abrams to retroactively edit an op-ed in which she’d expressed support for the pro-boycott position that ultimately cost her state $100 million.

Here’s the smoking gun, the self-incriminating passage from scumbag/worthless-Abrams’s original USA Today op-ed: “The impassioned response to the racist, classist bill that is now the law of Georgia is to boycott in order to achieve change. Events hosted by major league baseball, world class soccer, college sports and dozens of Hollywood films hang in the balance. At the same time, activists urge Georgians to swear off of hometown products to express our outrage. Until we hear clear, unequivocal statements that show Georgia-based companies get what’s at stake, I can’t argue with an individual’s choice to opt for their competition.”

“The impassioned response,” wrote scumbag/worthless-Abrams, “is to boycott in order to achieve change.”

But in her surreptitiously revised version, scumbag/ worthless-Abrams wrote, “Boycotts invariably cost jobs.” And she wrote, “Instead of a boycott, I strongly urge other events and productions to do business in Georgia and speak out against our law and similar proposals in other states.”

As a liar and a cheater, then, scumbag/worthless-Abrams is in good company with USA Today, a leftist rag with a notoriously biased “fact-check” apparatus. But it’s one thing for a news organ to be biased and another thing entirely for it to be downright deceitful — which USA Today is. As National Review’s Ryan Mills points out, “According to the Internet Archive, scumbag/worthless-Abrams’s piece was updated the afternoon of April 6, but an editor’s note acknowledging the changes wasn’t added for over two weeks, on April 22.”

So USA Today allowed scumbag/worthless-Abrams to edit her piece on the sly until the furor had died down, and only weeks later came clean with a buried note to its readership.

And the media wonder why we call them “Fake News.”

Former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler summed it up pretty well. “ scumbag/worthless-Stacey Abrams called for boycotts of Georgia,” she tweeted, “then when the MLB fell for her lies, she tried to rewrite her own words and cover it up with help from USA TODAY. Now, hardworking Georgians are set to lose $100 million — and they know exactly who’s to blame.”

scumbag/worthless-Stacey Abrams, that’s who.  ~The Patriot Post

Carville Blasts ‘Wokeness’ as Problem for Dems
Wfu5cAuo_PBZmk7eiJYWey_SgY9PqqjraQwanmqFvoXJ4yB-cXFpZCaYQDumUtCPHjt9JLgEz11Rdh1CBrxsdKuLq8kWsg1rz_V2VLCtShMf4XY9d2e3EoIEx3_aFg=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

James Carville is a political animal. Political campaigns are his bread and butter. For the Louisiana Democrat, politics isn’t about standing on principles but advancing into positions of power. And when it comes to reading the political tea leaves, few are better than Carville. So when he expresses fears that Democrats are headed for disaster in the 2022 elections, ears perk up.

In a recently published interview with Leftmedia outlet Vox, Carville issued a blunt warning to his party. “Wokeness is a problem and everyone knows it,” he said. “It’s hard to talk to anybody today — and I talk to lots of people in the Democrat Party — who doesn’t say this. But they don’t want to say it out loud.” When queried as to why Democrats don’t want talk about “wokeness,” Carville answered, “Because they’ll get clobbered or canceled.” The politics of personal destruction is all fun and games until you’re the target, eh, James?

Now, if one thinks Carville is suggesting that Democrats should just stick a fork in their 2022 chances, then one would be wrong. Carville clearly is seeking to warn the Democrats to work on their public image, not to change their political direction. “Lots of smart people are going to read [this interview], and hopefully they can figure out that which I can’t,” he explained. “But if you’re asking me, I think it’s because large parts of the country view us as an urban, coastal, arrogant party, and a lot gets passed through that filter. That’s a real thing. I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about it — it’s a real phenomenon, and it’s damaging to the party brand.”

Arguing that messaging is the root of the Democrats’ problem, he observes, “Maybe tweeting that we should abolish the police isn’t the smartest thing to do because almost f—king no one wants to do that. Here’s the deal: No matter how you look at the map, the only way Democrats can hold power is to build on their coalition, and that will have to include more rural white voters from across the country. Democrats are never going to win a majority of these voters. That’s the reality. But the difference between getting beat 80 to 20 and 72 to 28 is all the difference in the world.”

So, what’s Carville’s goal here? As Power Line’s Steven Hayward surmises, “Carville may be trying to be clever or tactical, by creating some artificial daylight between Biden and the insanity gripping his party.” In other words, Carville is attempting to distance socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden from the craziness that is today’s Democrat Party. Will it work? Well, spinning fictions is what the Democrats have been perfecting for decades, yet by his own record, Biden has demonstrated himself to be the most leftist president this nation has ever witnessed. That truth is hard to hide.   ~The Patriot Post

Four Pinocchios for The Washington Post
YsnuGWWpecCVLJGw7sQEc5ltprR4HTmZAaKcTZ6HQfKEU3KmE1DiokfDitOoTLMcol1b8WlRp1bN-ElmRqKrGgzSNI0mCvpR_1helgflhUQpuzkcOYsRIiGL2wroFw=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

In 2013, Jeff Bezos, a charter member of the “Archenemies of Liberty Club” and the world’s richest  man, bought a struggling Leftmedia rag known as The Washington Post. While the Post was clearly already a bastion of leftism in the mainstream media, since Bezos took over — and even more so since Donald Trump ran for president — we’ve noted a marked hard-left turn in the Post’s coverage and tone. Indeed, less than a month after Trump took office in 2017 and for the first time in its history, the Post adopted a motto: the pretentious “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

With all that background comes news that the Post is already going to let its database of President socialist/ scumbag/liar-Joe Biden’s lies fade into darkness. “We do not plan to extend [it] beyond 100 days,” announced the Post’s chief “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler, who claims to have “learned my lesson” about the man hours required — “400 additional 8-hour days over four years beyond our regular jobs for three people.”

“We’ve been comparing socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden (67 false or misleading claims) to Trump’s first 100 days (511 claims.),” he added. “But past is no prologue. In the last 100 days before the 2020 election, we counted 8,859 claims made by Trump. It was a wild ride.” He then explained, “ socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden is off to a relatively slow start but who knows what will happen. We will keep doing fact checks, just not a database.” Sure thing. Wink.

We’ll grant that Trump is a braggart and a blowhard who is far from accurate with his words. But the idea that every one of the Post’s “gotcha” claims was actually a Trump lie is as preposterous as the notion that socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden hardly ever lies by comparison. The Post’s partisan “fact-checkers” simultaneously created work for themselves with dishonest hackery and then Kessler has the chutzpah to claim victim status for having been overworked. The Post didn’t just run the database, by the way. It regularly trumpeted it on its website home page, which was an obvious bid to generate traffic and ad revenue. Bezos is a businessman, after all.

More importantly, socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden is a shameless liar in ways that would make Trump blush.

The biggest difference between the two men entirely eludes the sages at the Post. socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden, like virtually every Democrat, lies in order to deceive about his real designs. Democrats know that honestly revealing their plans would often chase voters away, so socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden instead waxes eloquent about “unity” in his Inaugural Address and then proceeds to enact an agenda so radically left that even commie/liar-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is proud of it.

On the other hand, generally speaking, Trump exaggerated and hyperbolized on the way to conveying an underlying truth. Whether he was specifically accurate or not, he was usually right about the bigger story. We certainly wish he’d been more precise and humble, but bluster is a long way from what socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s doing.

The Post seems to have a new strategy with socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden. Remember that time Kessler “fact-checked” socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s vaccine lie as merely “a verbal stumble, a typical socialist/scumbag/ liar-Biden gaffe”? Trump certainly never got that kind of deference, but treating socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden as non compos mentis is the easiest way around his dishonesty.

Clearly, dumping the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden database is a decision with both ideological and marketing components. The Post can’t support socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden by actually holding him accountable, and its readers don’t want it anyway. Besides, we suppose Kessler can always use his newfound free time to keep doing things like phony “fact-checks” about how black Republican Senator Tim Scott isn’t quite black enough for a white Beltway politico.  ~The Patriot Post

Double the Capital Gains Tax to Crush the Economy
A5vXJ_dVT_klO3Jj6g511oSuWSPWaHtCG_IDFgZLKbFKnBlrvbJUNT8qxFFDAz2nHK28Fw8I3SKoUQ9fRFyFPHUTGbSFrJMCeUD283u3Ae3_W-N_YkEM0JJXWqbp7A=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

If further proof were needed that supposedly moderate socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden is every bit the leftist ideology as “the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean” under whom he served as vice president, look no further than the trial balloon socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden floated to nearly double the capital gains tax.

In 2008, during a primary debate with scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama proposed increasing the capital gains tax, even when history shows that increasing it results in a decrease in federal revenues. So why do it? “For purposes of fairness,” scumbag/liar-nObama said.

At the time, scumbag/liar-nObama said he would not go higher than the scumbag/liar-Clinton-era rate of 28%, yet socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden floated nearly doubling the current rate of 23.8% (including a 3.8% scumbag/liar-nObamaCare surcharge) to a staggering 43.4%. How do you like that “fairness”?

Yet whether for purposes of fairness or raising revenue, a capital gains tax rate increase is counterproductive. For one thing, as a revenue-raiser, the capital gains tax rate fails miserably.

None other than former Democrat President John F. Kennedy warned, “The tax on capital gains directly affects investment decisions, the mobility and flow of risk capital from static to more dynamic situations, the ease or difficulty experienced by new ventures in obtaining capital, and thereby the strength and potential for growth of the economy.”

In other words, a high tax rate on capital gains changes the decision-making process of investors from creating wealth (and therefore jobs and increased wages) to minimizing the punitive effect of taxation. As a result, the proverbial national economic pie shrinks, jobs are lost, and wages shrivel. Such taxes also discourage savings and investment, which also hurts economic growth.

Former Federal Reserve Governor Larry Lindsey argues the revenue-maximizing rate for capital gains is around 28%. Other economists argue for a much lower rate. But no sane person argues for a rate in excess of 40%.

Leftist Democrats argue that the lower rate for capital gains, when compared to the individual income tax rate, is an unfair loophole that needs to be closed. That is not remotely true.

Under current tax law, capital gains from investments are fully taxed, but only a portion of losses are deductible. And since asset values are not indexed to inflation, investors are penalized by paying taxes on asset values that partly exist only on paper.

Additionally, the capital gains tax is a double tax on corporate income. The federal government taxes business profits when they’re earned, and socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden wants a 33% increase in the corporate income tax. Then, when businesses issue income on dividends, or an investor sells shares that have appreciated, the federal government hits them with a second tax.

Of course, as we’ve written before, corporations don’t pay taxes. Individuals do.

Maybe that’s why Congressman scumbag/liar-Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who represents part of the uber-wealthy Manhattan enclave, inadvertently makes the argument against such double taxation when calling for a repeal of the SALT deduction limit. That limit, which was part of the 2017 Republican tax reform, has been painful for big-spending, high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California, where combined state and local tax (SALT) rates are already high and could exceed 55% under socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s plan.

“No one should ever be taxed twice on the same income,” Nadler declared. “It’s not fair and it’s not just.”

Really, scumbag/liar-Jerry? Like when you work your tail off as a small business owner, pay business taxes, and pay yourself a salary with what’s left, which is then subject to federal, state, and local taxes? Then, when you go to purchase a car, or just a hamburger, you have to pay a sales tax on that as well. You get to do this for 50 or 60 years, and when you die, the government takes nearly half of your estate through the death tax, and only then gives whatever’s left to your children. Is that fair?

Make no mistake, a repeal in the SALT deduction limits benefits only the very wealthy. According to the liberal Brookings Institute, were the SALT deduction limit to be repealed, 96% of the benefits would go to the top 20% of income earners, with the top 1% seeing 57% of the benefits.

Of course, this does provide for some great entertainment, as Democrat politicians try to spin their preferential tax treatment for the rich as somehow helping the little guy.

In reality, America doesn’t have a taxing problem; it has a spending problem. Politicians like socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden and scumbag/liar-Jerry Nadler increase spending as a way of buying votes, then increase taxes to (partially) offset the new spending. It’s a vicious cycle that makes everyone poorer — except the politicians and their big donors who pay them to create tax loopholes.  ~The Patriot Post

Ted Wheeler Gets Mugged by Reality
1QZvfqUY2W_0CC9nKLR7IZEdXC9s98Cc9Sukm7O23492-j6g8cPCnNzBFoyTCgMzbbfNjpTmXENuzJLbqMpBhgdEqIx5EVxVJKNrKVA8eLjtXivH9OeRl_p3F90LTg=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

Antifa, that figment of right-wing fever dreams, may have finally found a believer in hard-left Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.

You remember antifa. It’s the black-clad, Portland-based anarchist mob that New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler famously dismissed as “a myth that’s being spread only in Washington, DC.”

A “myth,” Jerry? Try telling that to Ted Wheeler.

As The Wall Street Journal editorial board reports, “A well-known politician on Friday denounced ‘self-described anarchists who engage in regular criminal destruction’ and want to ‘burn,’ ‘bash’ and ‘intimidate.’ He called for ‘higher bail’ and ‘tougher pretrial restrictions’ on rioters. And he pleaded with the public to cooperate with police and identify miscreants: ‘Our job is to unmask them, arrest them, and prosecute them.’ Donald Trump? Sheriff Arpaio? Nope. That was Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler, the über-progressive, who made a national reputation last year by apologizing for vandals and rioters he said were merely exercising their right to protest against an unjust America.”

All this is a humiliating flip-flop for the guy who enabled antifa to engage in a nearly year-long orgy of nonstop rioting, and the guy who last June vowed to defund his city’s police force. As The Oregonian’s Everton Bailey Jr. reported at the time, “Wheeler pledged the city will divert $12 million from the police bureau and other city departments to directly support communities of color, defund three police units including the gun violence reduction team and ban officers from using chokeholds as part of plans to reform the Portland Police Bureau.”

Wheeler, who’s also — get this — the city’s police commissioner, said, “My privilege as a white man, my privilege as the mayor and the leader of the institutions of power in this community I believe shielded me from time to time from the many difficult and uncomfortable truths about our history and about our society.”

Clearly, that mea culpa wasn’t good enough for antifa. Nor, we think, was it properly directed. Wheeler seemed to be trying to atone to the city’s black residents for his white privilege, but last time we checked, antifa was as lily-white as Wheeler.

In any case, as the Journal reports, unbridled antifa rioters “shot fireworks at law enforcement, firebombed government buildings, and set fire to cop cars and a police union hall” — all while the milquetoast mayor carried on like a modern-day Neville Chamberlain.

And now, he’s crying uncle. Yep, the guy who slashed $27 million from the city’s 2021 police funding, the guy who called Donald Trump’s decision to send in federal forces to quell the rioting last July “an attack on our democracy,” has finally been mugged by reality. He’s now begging for the citizens of Portland to start ratting out that mob he’s been trying to appease these many months.

As The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti reports, “Wheeler extended a city-wide state of emergency and begged for Portland residents to assist law enforcement in ‘unmasking’ and identifying members of the ‘self-described anarchist mob’ that have rioted through the city nearly every night since last May.”

Wheeler, it seems, has learned a valuable lesson in human nature: Weakness is provocative. Better late than never.

And who knows? Maybe Wheeler’s wisdom will wind its way north to Seattle, where the people clearly want law and order, and where feckless Mayor Jenny Durkan seems to be holding out hope for that Summer of Love.   ~The Patriot Post

Total Recall, Starring a California Governor
-4rwZy24ISZcRKgydHxj3cyPxU4z_1iKQThwKRm4BwXpGg24sRNw0SPXnRIkcp19S_ukf6xA9OZZS06KFOU9WImMta7LSxAkeIb5hLMVMahdItYJqaG1NOhEq9t4PA=s0-d-e1-ft#?profile=RESIZE_400x

Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the 1990 flick “Total Recall” before winning election as California’s governor in 2003, when then-Governor Gray Davis was recalled. But he’s not the governor currently facing a recall.

The needed signatures are in, and then some. Evidently, enough Californians have had their fill of Governor scumbag-Gavin Newsom’s heavy-handed crackdown on their rights throughout the coronavirus pandemic. The Washington Examiner reports, “More than 1,626,000 verified signatures were collected … which is more than 100,000 above what is needed to force a recount.” After Democrats fought to have rigorous signature verification in place, Mark Alexander quipped, “Apparently, when it comes to Democrat recalls, certification of signatures matters.”

On the subject of voter verification, a recent Fox News poll found that on the question of valid photo ID being required to prove U.S. citizenship before voting, an overwhelming 77% approve. But we digress.

Back in the Golden State, there’s an outside chance the recall won’t happen if a “sufficient number of signatures are withdrawn,” explained California Secretary of State Shirley Weber. That’s not likely to happen, despite Newsom’s sudden change of heart earlier this month when he announced his intention to fully reopen the state by June 15.

Of course, even with a recall election, scumbag-Newsom still has a good shot at retaining his seat. Recent polling indicates that 56% of the state’s residents oppose the recall. The question is, can scumbag-Newsom energize enough of these voters to come out and vote against recall? Since no prominent Democrat has stepped up to oppose scumbag-Newsom in a state that leans heavily Democrat, the probability that voters reject recall seems in scumbag-Newsom’s favor.

However, should voters favor recall, the list of presumable Republican favorites lining up includes Kevin Faulconer, San Diego’s former mayor; San Diego businessman John Cox, who previously ran against scumbag-Newsom; and (because it’s California) “transgender” activist Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner.

One final takeaway. Note that none of the Republican governors who opted to reopen early and to maintain as few restrictions as possible is facing serious recall efforts. In fact, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has only seen his popularity rise due to his handling of the pandemic.   ~The Patriot Post

Someone’s Lying

Former Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry is under fire after a New York Times report suggesting that he leaked intelligence about Israel’s counterterrorism activities to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

The Times did its best to cover for hanoi-Kerry. For starters, the story, run on page A8, was headlined, “Iran’s Foreign Minister, In Leaked Tape, Says Revolutionary Guards Set Policies.”

That’s not news. It’s common knowledge that the Revolutionary Guards control Iran. They answer directly to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and by some estimates they control at least one-third of Iran’s economy.

The Times also reported that Zarif said the U.S. strike killing Iranian terror mastermind Qasam Soleimani was “a major blow to Iran, more damaging than if [the U.S.] had wiped out an entire city in an attack.”

It’s worth remembering that Donald Trump ordered that “major blow to Iran,” and socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden condemned it.

But you had to get through three-quarters of the Times report to find out that hanoi-John Kerry was passing sensitive information to Zarif. If the former secretary of state was betraying our ally Israel, that’s critically important front-page news. As socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden’s climate czar, hanoi-Kerry currently sits on the National Security Council.

Kerry denied the allegations, labeling the New York Times report as “unequivocally false.” But it wouldn’t be the first time that hanoi-Kerry has had questionable communications with the Iranians.

Here’s the bottom line: Someone is lying. If it’s Zarif, how can we trust anything he has to say in the nuclear negotiations?

Moreover, we shouldn’t trust anything he has to say because, by his own admission, he has no authority. The ayatollah and the Revolutionary Guards are in control, and we’re not negotiating with them.

The War On Cops

In a free society, the police and the military are what stand between free people and their enemies, namely anarchy and tyranny. So, it’s not surprising that today’s totalitarian left, which is heavily influenced by Marxism, is so focused on turning the people against our police and our military, against the institutions of law and order.

Sadly, I often hear people say, “I wouldn’t be a cop today if my life depended on it.” Well, that’s exactly what many police officers are deciding today. And it’s happening in major cities experiencing major crime waves.

In yesterday’s report, I told you about the massive number of police retirements in New York City and Philadelphia. Add Portland, Oregon, to the list. And I just read that the same thing is happening even in Fairfax County, Virginia, an upscale suburb of Washington, D.C.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Our law enforcement officers are under relentless assault from organized left-wing groups, Democrat politicians, the media, movie stars and professional athletes, not to mention the thugs on the street.

Powerful people, including the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States and the attorney general, are telling the country that cops — not criminals — are the problem in society today.

Any reasonable person knows that police officers aren’t the problem, but the solution.

The only way minority communities can have any chance at decent schools and business investment is if their streets are safe. But the more you demonize and handcuff the police, the less chance you will have that these communities will ever be safe.

It wasn’t that long ago when both parties tried to argue that they were all for law and order. In fact, socialist/ scumbag/liar-Joe Biden wrote the 1994 crime bill that scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton signed into law. “Top Cop” lowlife/liar-Kamala Harris got her start in politics as a “tough on crime” prosecutor.

But not anymore. Democrats obviously believe there is a big political benefit in being tough on cops, not crime. The American people, however, strongly disagree.

My friends, I can’t say this enough: If nobody in your community is standing up for the police, please take the initiative. Get some friends together and show your support. There are lots of things you can do.

Post notes of appreciation on social media. Write letters to your local newspaper. The next time you see police officers in a restaurant, offer to buy them lunch. If you have a friend or family member in law enforcement, please take a moment today to say, “Thank you.”

Common Sense Prevails

It’s been a long time coming, but common sense finally prevailed yesterday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that if you’re vaccinated you no longer need to wear a mask outside. DUH!

Even if you aren’t vaccinated wearing a mask outside is silly. We’ve known for quite some time now that there is virtually no risk of viral transmission outside. Shutting everything down and forcing everyone inside is the most effective way to spread the virus.

Evidently, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra didn’t get the CDC’s memo. Becerra went on CBS and thoroughly confused anchor Gayle King by insisting that vaccinated people still need to wear masks outside.

By the way, socialist/scumbag/liar-Joe Biden will be addressing the country tonight before a joint session of Congress. Even though members of Congress were among the first to have access to the COVID vaccines, attendance at the address is being severely limited.

Why? I suspect it is being done for optics and to perpetuate the environment of fear, which may also explain why Biden is wearing masks on Zoom calls.

Not So Smart

The president went out on the White House lawn yesterday and continued to politicize the virus. socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden said when he took office, only one percent of our seniors had been vaccinated.

Well, the first COVID vaccine wasn’t developed and approved for use by the FDA until December 11th, which was accomplished in record time thanks to Donald Trump. If we had been operating under normal procedures, we’d be waiting several more years.

And even when talking about a virus, socialist/scumbag/ liar-Biden couldn’t resist injecting race into the discussion. He felt it was really important to tell us that:

“The proportion of seniors who have been vaccinated is essentially equal between white and seniors of color. I said from the beginning that we're going to fight this virus with equity… If I’m not mistaken, there are more Latino and African American seniors who have been vaccinated as a percentage than white seniors.”

socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden has done almost nothing different from the rollout plan that President Trump and Vice President Pence left behind. Trump said that the country would be on its way to reopening about this time, and he was roundly condemned for it. But that’s exactly what’s happening.

But wait… There’s more!

During the early days of the pandemic, the Trump Administration wisely held regular conference calls with the nation’s governors. Under our federalist system, governors have tremendous authority.

Vice President Mike Pence led 39 of the 40 White House conference calls with the nation’s governors, and President Trump attended eight of them. We learned Monday that President socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden hasn’t attended any of these calls. Vice President lowlife/liar-Harris sat in on one for five minutes, and took no questions.

Guess who is leading the calls now? The chairman of the National Governors Association … New York Governor scumbag/liar-Andrew Cuomo.

So the guy who is facing impeachment charges for a series of scandals, the guy who ordered sick COVID patients into nursing homes where they infected more seniors, the guy who gave his family members special treatment — THAT GUY is the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden Administration’s new spokesman to the nation’s governors.   ~The Patriot Post
