Money making opportunity

Here is how the governor of Florida has an opportunity to get billions of dollars in free Federal money:

Former Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday that those whose pay is threatened by Governors for refusing Federal COVID mandates, “I promise you, I will have your back.”

So here it is: Governor DeSantis should immediately stop sending money to every single entity who refuses to follow the Biden vaccine mandate. Then Biden will use Federal money to completely fund all of those entities and Florida will be free to keep the money they held back.

Politics, not science

Much has been made of Governor Ron Desantis’ executive order banning schools from mandating masks. School districts sued and won the ability to override parent choice by requiring all children to wear masks.

School boards cite the CDC’s recommendation that all students in school wear masks as their reason for doing so.

It isn’t science that is at play here, though. The CDC caved to pressure from teachers’ unions when they wrote that recommendation.

A tempest in a teapot

Remember the guy who yelled at an MSNBC reporter? He was arrested by a US Marshals task force in Ohio. They congratulate themselves on arresting a “violent fugitive.” Calling him violent is a stretch. All he did was yell at the reporter. There is no evidence that he ever touched the reporter.

Even so, all of the charges against him are misdemeanors. He wasn’t even a fugitive unless they can prove that he was aware of the charges and was fleeing the state to avoid them. I can’t believe that these charges merited an entire Federal task force to catch him. From the US Marshals’ own webpage:

 The purpose of regional fugitive task forces is to combine the efforts of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend the most dangerous fugitives and assist in high profile investigations.

This is ridiculous. So the US Marshals are saying that this guy is one of the most dangerous fugitives in America? Of course not.

Anyone on the right who challenges the left is going to be placed in the gulag. Maybe the cops SHOULD be defunded.

Lindell is an unperson

January 6 protester is returning to jail because he listened to Mike Lindell, who they refer to as “one of the most prominent and prolific proponents of the election fraud conspiracy theories and lies” surrounding the January 6 protest.

I truly believe that the rally planned for September 18 will see some huge event that will be used to result in a nationwide crackdown. January 6 was the Reichstag fire. The COVID lockdowns were, and continue to be, our Krystalnacht. We are rapidly sliding towards a complete collapse of the Republic.
