El-Sayed's deep-down disgust with Michigan's Mackinac Island: asks voters to send him to Washington anyway

In a development that surprised absolutely no one familiar with the modern Democratic Party, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee and jihadi, Abdul El-Sayed, once went full progressive tourist and trashed one of the state’s most beloved vacation spots while complaining about being forced to campaign there.

“I hate Mackinac so much,” he said in a 2020 documentary that followed his failed run for governor. “Every time I’ve ever come here I’ve hated it. Why am I here?” Better question: why is this anti-Semite even running for office?

The clip, resurfaced by The Midwesterner, captured the future Senate hopeful at peak authenticity.  El-Sayed then helpfully clarified that if he somehow won the governorship, Mackinac Island would become his summer home, his way of walking back what he really feels.

The car-free island has hosted the Michigan governor’s official summer residence since 1945, a place where normal people enjoy horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and walking instead of whatever coastal elite utopia El-Sayed apparently prefers. My guess is that their utopia resembles Egypt, where his parents are from.

His campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why a man who openly despises one of Michigan’s most historical and wholesome landmarks still expects voters to trust him with their state’s future. Of course, the mainstream media didn't press them for an answer beyond the bs they fed the press.

Last year, Democratic Governor the elite Gretchen Whitmer tried to paper over the progressive distaste for the place by pitching Mackinac Island as the perfect film location for HBO’s “The White Lotus.” 

“If HBO is looking for the perfect location for season 4…Mackinac Island is ready to check you in,” she wrote over footage of the island’s scenery. Whitmer continues to visit regularly for events like the Mackinac Policy Conference, where Michigan’s political and business establishment gathers each year to pretend everything is fine. [She may have even gone there during the COVID-19 lockdowns because, you know, she's elite and doesn't have to answer to anyone in the state.]

This is not the first time a Democratic candidate has publicly loathed the very place they claim to represent. 

During a special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn shared her deep affection for Nashville: “I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country. But I hate it.”

One can only imagine what she thinks about the rest of the country.

El-Sayed now faces Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers in the general election. After El-Sayed narrowly edged out Rep. Haley Stevens, Rogers released a video aimed at Democratic voters alarmed by the rise of the far-Left in Michigan. “You have a home with us,” he told Democrats of all ages. “Over the next 90 days I am going to work hard to earn your trust, to earn your support, and earn your vote. We have a state to save, Michigan. Let’s get to work.”

At least one party still seems to like the state it wants to represent.

Alexandria Obviously-Comatose does a Kamala Harris over China

Leftist New York Rep. Alexandria Occasionally-Comatose, better known as AOC, the bartender-turned-Bernie-cosplayer who somehow keeps getting reelected, had a real deer-in-the-headlights moment when someone dared to ask her a straightforward foreign policy question at the Munich Security Conference.

The panel included Michigan Gov. [Frau] Gretchen Whitmer (who also looked like she'd rather be anywhere else) and U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker. The topic was U.S. foreign policy, because apparently that's what passes for light chit-chat in Munich these days. 

When the moderator straight-up asked if the United States should "commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan, if China were to move," our leftist AOC did what she does best: she umm-ed and ahh-ed her way into a word salad that could feed a vegan commune for weeks.

"I think that, uh, this is such a, you know, I think that this is a, umm, this is, of course, a uh, a very longstanding, umm, policy of the United States," she began, sounding like someone who'd just been asked to explain quantum physics after three espressos and zero sleep. "Uh, and I think that what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure we never get to that point, and we want to make sure we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise."

Translation: "Please don't make me say anything that might upset my base or require actual backbone." Classic dodge. She's hoping we can just vibe our way out of a Chinese invasion with some strong economic research and good intentions. Because nothing says "deterrence" like hoping really hard.

Earlier in the same panel, she tried to downplay the whole China thing by framing it as mere "competition" rather than, you know, the looming threat of actual conflict with a world power.

"I think China is, of course, an ascending global power, growing very quickly, acting in its own self interests,” she said, lying about thinking. "And oftentimes in Washington, there's this frame between conflict and competition. I think sometimes depending on what’s happening, that rhetoric can get a little conflict-driven, and I think that it's really a question of competition."

Sure, it's just friendly competition, like when your neighbor "competitively" parks his tank in your driveway and starts redecorating your house with the People's Liberation Army flag. No biggie.

Then, in a separate panel on "the rise of populism,"  AOC tried to explain Trump's foreign policy shift and how the globe reacted. What came out was this gem that left everyone scratching their heads sounded like a Kamala Harris giving a lecture on Boolean algebra:

"I think what we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in the West, we look the other way for inconvenient populations to act out these paradoxes, whether it is kidnapping a foreign head of state, whether it is threatening our allies to colonize Greenland, whether it is looking the other way in a genocide. Hypocrisies are vulnerabilities, and they threaten democracies globally."

Huh? Kidnapping heads of state? Threatening to colonize Greenland? Looking the other way on genocide? She's clearly trying to dunk on Trump-era foreign policy, but it came out sounding like a Mad Libs entry written by someone who'd mainlined too much MSNOW [formerly MSNBC] and not enough reality. The audience probably needed a translator app just to figure out what she was mad about.

The mockery was swift and merciless, with plenty of folks drawing parallels to Kamala and her legendary word-vomit sessions on the campaign trail. Both AOC and Whitmer are being eyed as potential 2028 Dem presidential hopefuls, but if this Munich performance is any indication, neither one is ready for prime time when it comes to actual foreign policy questions. They looked like undergrads who crammed for the wrong exam.

In one particularly cringe-worthy exchange, Whitmer got asked about solving the Ukraine-Russia war and immediately tried to punt it to Ambassador Whitaker like a hot potato.

"No, please, I'd love to hear your answer," Whitaker said, not letting her off the hook.

"The two that I am on the panel with are much more steeped in foreign policy than a governor is," Whitmer replied, basically admitting she was out of her depth. "I do think that Ukraine's independence, keeping their land mass and having the support of all the allies, I think is the goal from my vantage point. Go ahead, ambassador, do a better job."

Biden's teleprompter in Oval Office address

Teleprompter Joe 

His eyes never left the words written for him on the teleprompter as our alleged President Joe Biden read the Oval Office address about the assassination attempt on former President Trump on Saturday. Unfortunately for Biden, he gave the address after his bedtime, just when "sundowner syndrome" kicks in and the brain becomes pudding-like.

Old Joe bumbled and mumbled his way through the reading, which may have been written by AI or Ron Klain, and had the sincerity of a prostitute who fakes a you-know-what.

At times Biden stumbled over his words, even referring to the "ballot box" as a ""battle box"." He even referred to Trump as "former Trump." The bullet graze must have definitely hurt as it hit his ear, but it didn't make him a former Trump, only the next President of the United States.

Nevertheless, Biden said that we all need to turn the dangerous rhetoric down, but he never added "including me," which would have gone a long way toward his being seen as sincere.

Overall, Biden's teleprompter was disgusting and tone-deaf because the words he read strayed off topic and brought up Gretchen Whitmer and January 6 as a way to deflect having any hand in the assassination attempt. No mention was written on the teleprompter that a gun was fired, a former President was hit by a bullet and an innocent man was killed. 

Equating what happened to Whitmer, where all charges were dropped, and January 6th, where the only person killed was Ashli Babbitt, who was killed by Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd, was ludicrous. 

The vegetable who read that we need to "lower the temperature," has been guilty, along with his fellow Democrats and media of raising concerns that Trump was Hitler, and a threat to democracy.

Hell, it was the duty of every red-blooded American to stop the threat, if you believe those leftists.

Joe Biden says he wants to “lower the temperature” in our country: pic.twitter.com/sVDzvlf9fm— Conservative War Machine (@WarMachineRR) July 15, 2024

Two days before Trump was shot, Biden labeled the former president a dictator. 

Two weeks before that, Biden said Trump was a "genuine threat to the nation" who would end democracy and take away people's freedoms. For him to now pretend to be above it all, demanding others lower the temperature is the height of hypocrisy. He should have spent his Oval Office address directly refuting his own rhetoric. Instead, he gaslit the public about his culpability.

“Let’s lower the temperature, Jack. C’mon. That’s number one. Number two, the idea that the fact of the matter is, anyway.” pic.twitter.com/TTUwLGnp70— Reverently Based 🇻🇦 (@node_cathode) July 15, 2024

Biden: “In a democracy, arguments are made in good faith.” In Biden's world and the world of the Left, arguments are made for personal gain.

Katie Pavlich reminded us when Biden called Donald Trump Hitler and needed to be stopped.

Is this what Biden and the entire Democratic Party was doing when they called Trump Hitler, a man who needed to be stopped “at all costs,” “eliminated,” and an “existential threat to Democracy.”— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) July 15, 2024

It should have been called the Awful Office Address because it was awful. To think that Biden and his cronies can lecture the American people about decency and lowering the temperature of the nation when it was him and Democrats who put a bullseye on President Trump's head. 

The combination of divine providence and crappy marksmanship helped avoid a horrible outcome.

WARNING: Do not believe what you hear about a Trump landslide in November. That leads to complacency and lower voter turnout. You must vote because they want us all to stay home.

"No TikTok state ban for me, only for thee" Dem gov implies

Frau Whitmer

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is the female version of South Park's Cartman: she does what she wants. But if you try it, you're in a world of trouble.

Michigan has banned the Communist Chinese-owned app TikTok on March 1st, on state-owned devices, but that doesn't stop Whitmer from flipping off the ban when it comes to herself.

“It is banned for state devices,” Jayson Cavendish, Michigan’s acting chief security officer, said in an interview with the MLive media group.

So TikTok is not allowed to be on state-owned devices except for Frau Whitmer's, which is the most state owned a state owned device can be.

The ban applies to all state-owned devices except for Whitmer, a [hypocrite], and for purposes of promotion, law enforcement, and cybersecurity, MLive reported.

Cavendish also noted, according to MLive, that Whitmer’s TikTok account “is accessed on a secure device that has never been on the state’s network, nor connected to the state’s wireless environment.”

Like most Democrat governors and others on the left, the rules don't apply to them, only to the peons who pay their salaries. So during the pandemic travel bans, Mr. Whitmer attempted to travel in order to take out his boat. The Landshark Bar & Grill in East Lansing where Gretchen sat with a large group of Democrats in violation of her own COVID-19 policies wasn't a problem as she saw it because hey, she's the governor. 

Gov. Newsom (D-CA) was with a dozen people at an expensive restaurant known as The French Laundry. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the very attractive Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot (D) had their hair done at a salon when establishments such as those were ordered to remain closed. 

Back to Whitmer.

Since the ban, Whitemer has posted on TikTok many times, as late as last Thursday, because she's special.

“It’s a state of Michigan device, but it follows the guidelines that are in place for the exceptions,” said Bobby Leddy, a spokesman for the governor’s office. “And the exceptions are for any department that feels that they need it for their job to convey with the public, or for investigative purposes.”

I think it's time the public reacts to this elitist crap at the ballot box. However, most Democrats don't generally know who or what they're voting for. As Nancy Pelosi pointed out [and I paraphrase]: if a turd shaped like the letter "D" ran against any Republican in her state, the turd would win."

This seems to be a proven fact.

Broadway joins the hypocrites on the Left regarding COVID measures and mandates

Do what they mandate, not what they do seems to be the modus opprandi of the Left and it has come to Sunday night's Tony Awards where people put out a united message about wearing masks in theaters for everyone's safety, but what they did themselves shows just how much they believe in what they preach.

[H/T New York Post]

“Everyone here is vaxxed and tested, and everyone is wearing a mask,” host  of the event, Leslie Odom Jr. said. “Every Broadway theater will look like this for a while, and that’s OK.”

After Odom pontificated and the cameras were off, the symbolic masks came off.

One guy in the mezzanine bar was loudly talking about the hot after-party for "Slave Play" at Neuehouse, which was requiring proof of vaccination and a negative COVID test to attend. He explained to those with him, “[M]y assistant found a picture online of a BinaxNow test that was negative, and sent it.” He laughed and encouraged his friends to do the same. That is, show a fake COVID test and go party.

Of course the hypocrisy goes beyond a single incident like this. 

Don't forget how Nancy Pelosi went to her hairdresser's without a mask at the height of the pandemic and was caught on camera. Businesses were supposed to be closed for the time being but Pelosi demanded her hair be coiffed and probably cut and colored, and she got her wish. Unfortunately, the salon was later closed down because the owner broke the laws.

Then there's San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) who mandated masks in public indoor gatherings and was photographed at the Black Cat nightclub on Sept. 15th dancing and singing without a mask. Her excuse was that the performer "moved" her.

"When the spirit moves you because you are watching history in the making, Bay Area royalty perform, I don't know about you but I'm not going to turn around and look for where my mask is or look to make sure I'm picking up a drink," Breed said. "I'm just going to let the spirit move me."

Then there's Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser (D) who raised a few eyebrows for traveling from D.C. to Wilmington, Delaware on November 6th to celebrate co-presidents Biden and Harris' election victory at a time Delaware was classified as a "high-risk" state. Bowser defended the trip as "essential" travel, so the virus obediently stayed away.

Then in July, Bowser reinstated an indoor mask mandate, including for fully vaccinated residents, amid rising coronavirus cases in D.C. driven by the Delta variant. But the day the mask mandate went back into effect, July 31, Bowser officiated a wedding at The Line, a hotel in Adams Morgan, featuring hundreds of maskless guests. 

"Masks for the peasants but not for me and my buddies."

And then there's Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) who apologized on May 23rd for violating her own mandate regarding social distancing when she was caught at a restaurant with several people in East Lansing.

An article published by Breitbart shows a photo of Frau Whitmer sitting quite close to a dozen people, in blatant disregard for Michigan's Department of Health's order stating that restaurants can only seat groups of six people together and must keep tables six feet apart.

In addition, Whitmer's husband was also caught trying to go boating last year during lockdown.

And who can forget California Gov. Gavin "Hair Gel" Newsom?

Newsom got nailed for attending a large indoor gathering — a birthday party for one of his top advisors, lobbyist Jason Kinney — at The French Laundry, a ritzy restaurant in Napa Valley. The party involved 12 people from different households while the state's guidance involved a limit to no more than three households based on the science and the fact that the virus only attacks gatherings of more than four households.

Newsom's liars initially said the gathering was outside and didn't violate any public health guidelines, but once the photos got out and obtained by Fox 11 in Los Angeles, they got caught with their proverbial pants down at the French Laundry where pants are not optional.

The list of Democratic hypocrisy is long, and includes, in part: 

Austin Mayor Steve Adler, Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, San Jose Mayor, Sam Liccardo, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA), Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, NY Gov. Andrew "Believe All Women" Cuomo, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

You can do the research on each one of these lying hypocrites and you will likely come to the conclusion that they don't even believe the bullcrap they're preaching.

Dems relieved the vaccine mandate doesn't apply to them

Democrats were almost up in arms when President Biden [his Indian name is "Shines Through Both Ears"] announced vaccine mandates for all businesses with over 100 employees and others that are connected to the federal government. 

However, once the left learned that the mandates didn't apply to them, they were behind it all the way. After all, elections have their consequences, right?

So while small businesses will be fined $1,400 per day per employee who fails to comply, this does not apply to members of Congress and their staff, the legislative and judicial branch, postal workers and teachers unions.

It's Joe's way of saying, "Your body, my choice."

The same philosophy applies to the mask mandates as well. You can't go to a restaurant without wearing a mask until you're ready to eat, but California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and all in his company can.

And during the lockdowns of last year, only Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi [her Indian name is "Sliding Dentures"] was going unmasked to the beauty salon, and it turned out to be a waste of time anyway.

And the Communist News Network's Chris Cuomo [his Indian name is "Reflection Erection"] didn't care that he ventured out of his home onto the public streets while he still had COVID, and then pretended he was in his basement all that time. He's a leftist like his sexually inappropriate, senior citizen killer brother Andrew [whose Indian name is "Blows Smoke Like Nose"] and they believe mandates aren't for them.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and even her husband, didn't think the rules applied to them. He tried to take out his boat during lockdown and she was caught on camera with a bunch of others who pushed tables together at an East Lansing bar, thus violating her own rules over masks and social distancing.

But this is not at all a comprehensive list of all those Democrats who broke Covid rules. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Co-President Biden came out with his dictatorial and racist vaccine mandates on Thursday. The mandates are racist due to the fact that a large percentage of people hesitant to take the vaccine are Black, and others who already had contracted covid are immunized even better than the vaccine can do but they too are mandated to take the Fauci prick.

But way back in April, "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi said that the House couldn't require members to get vaccinated. “So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That’s just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn’t.” 

“I can’t go to the Capitol Physician and say, ‘Give me the names of people who aren’t vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.’ So we can’t—we can’t do that,” she said.

And while Pelosi's tribe said that she was referring to House members only, since when do they have privacy rights that regular Americans don't have? That was the case they were making.

But even Biden [whose other Indian name is "Dances with Stairs"] said as late as July that he couldn't impose mandates that violate privacy rights.

He was just kidding, it turns out. That only applies to Democrats.

Garbage governor loses dictatorial rights over houses of worship; ordered to pay $1.35M settlement over lockdown

Leftist California Governor Gavin Newsom had his dictator card updated. He is no longer permitted to rule with an iron fist over houses of worship. 

Newsom was ordered by a federal judge to pay $1.35 million in settlement to the Harvest Rock Church of Pasadena, California based on the state's oppressive lockdown mandates against houses of worship.

U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal [whose given name is perfect for this post and the name I will use to reference him] also ruled that state restrictions on houses of worship would be permitted only if child infections rose 100%, statewide cases are at least 26 per 100,000 people, or available ICU hospital bed capacity falls below 20%, according to the Washington Examiner.

“Any new public health precautions on religious worship services and gatherings at places of worship not in the guidance [are included],” Jesus ruled. This marks the first statewide permanent injunction against COVID-19 restrictions on houses of worship in the country. Score: Jesus and the Harvest Rock Church 1 Newsom ZERO.

Mat Staver, who is founder of the nonprofit law firm Liberty Counsel, which represented Harvest Rock Church, described Newsom as “the worst governor in America” when it comes to religious liberty. 

But I believe that's selling Newsom short. He is also at the top of the garbage heap along with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) for being an enormous hypocrite in the style of the  "Do what I order, not what I do," power-hungry scumcrumpets who run those states.

“The church stayed open [during the lockdown], and the pastor and parishioners were threatened with daily criminal charges that were up to a year in prison,” Staver said.

“Gov. Newsom’s COVID restrictions intentionally discriminated against churches while providing preferential treatment to many secular businesses and gatherings,” Staver added. “What’s important is this ruling is permanent. He cannot ever do this again.”

Newsom received five rebukes from the Supreme Court, and now faces a recall election after a petition reached the requisite number of signatures in April to land on the ballot later this year.

Perhaps the recall will successfully remove him and replace him with a better person. The way Newsom treated houses of worship shows that he can go to hell.

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) caught: "Oops . . . Sorry"

Well there you go again, Gretchen. 

You just got caught violating your own state-mandated coronavirus restrictions that you demand of others, but not you--maybe you believe you're special, like John "Plugs" Kerry is special flying in his private jet because he and you believe you're saving the world when the opposite is true.

Sorry Gretchen, but you don't get to attend an event at a bar over the weekend where the people are butt-to-belly in the bar.

Your photo was taken at The Landshark Bar & Grill, in East Lansing on Saturday where you sat in close quarters to at least a dozen other privileged folks at tables pushed covid-close together forming one huge virus laboratory.

Did you remember that restaurants and bars were still subject to capacity limits along with anti-social distancing requirements? At least that's what the Detroit Free Press reported.  “Current orders require six people or fewer at tables and distances of six feet between tables,” the outlet wrote.

So big deal; you admitted you made a mistake and said you're sorry. Your words:

Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been committed to following public health protocols. Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn’t stop to think about it. In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize.

Maybe blatant disregard to covid mandates runs in your family. Even your husband couldn't abide by his wife's stay-at-home order and just had to get his boat in the water. Like you, he also got caught.

You both make really poor sneaks, but great hypocrites.

MI top health official flips off Whitmer's warning about travel

"I do what I want"

Never take the advice of people whose motto is "do as I say, not as I do." They're lying to you.

Michigan's new Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel is such a person as is the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. [H/T Fox News]

Hertel traveled to Alabama last week right after her boss, Gretchen Whitmer tried to discourage residents to stay home, stay safe, don't take your boat out like my idiot husband tried to do. 

Michigan is now the nation's leader in coronavirus cases and Hertel doesn't care. She headed out to Gulf Shores, Alabama as per the Michigan Information & Research Service. The Gulf Shores is a popular resort destination along the Gulf of Mexico.

A DHHS spokesperson told Fox News that the agency doesn't "discuss the director’s personal schedule," [as it tends to incriminate her].

"I do what I want"

Michigan GOP spokesman Ted Goodman told the outlet, "The sheer brazenness of Gov. Whitmer and her staff is truly something else." 

"The fact that our Governor and her top staff think it’s appropriate to travel out of state on vacation as Michigan faces the worst COVID numbers of any state in the country just reveals the arrogance and condescending nature of this administration. Whitmer’s position on the draconian lockdown orders is simple — rules for thee, but not for me."

You may recall how Whitmer's darling husband tried to take his boat out for fun last year at the throes of the pandemic after the state was in lockdown.

Whitmer's chief operating officer Tricia Foster, made headlines earlier this month for vacationing in Florida even though Whitmer said she was "concerned" about travel between states. 

Thinking nobody would see it, the not so bright Foster even posted photos to Facebook of herself vacationing in Siesta Key. After Breitbart initially reported on her fun in the sun, Foster deleted the post out of guilt.

Michael Moore demands Gov. Whitmer shut down all of Michigan

Socialist filmmaker Michael Moore is demanding that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) close down the state immediately, apparently not giving a flying fig how the lives of its citizens become affected from loss of income and concomitant psychological factors that come into play when people's freedom is taken from them. But that doesn't bother Moore--he's rich and will be just fine in a lockdown.

Speaking on an emergency episode of his podcast “Rumble," [named for what his stomach does after ten minutes without being fed] the big guy said that the rising number of COVID cases in the state has created a “tragedy” that he called upon Whitmer to correct. 

According to Moore, Whitmer has been crippled by fear from the many violent threats she has received, some due to her blatant disregard for her own rules, others for the obnoxious way she speaks down to people as she looks a lot like a Bond villain.

“I hate to say this, because I voted for her for governor, but she has been scared by people who seek to do violence to her, who bullied her,” Moore said. “The business community — the Chamber of Commerce — who have insisted that she reopen everything and this has brought a tragedy upon this upon the state, and so I need everybody’s help in pressuring … Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, to close things down.”

Moore, as previously mentioned is very wealthy, insisted that Whitmer should ignore the cries of the business community, recommending that they apply for government help to keep themselves afloat and help make socialism a reality in his lifetime.

“Do not listen to the business community. Yes, they are losing money,” he said. “There are programs to help them with getting some of this money back, and what they can’t get back, there should be other programs that the Biden administration establishes so that these businesses don’t go bankrupt.” And eventually be owned and operated by the government, if Moore had his way.

Moore said that Whitmer needs to shut down everything and pushed more fear by stressing that the pandemic could last as many as three or four years. 

Why not permanently?

“Shut down the restaurants, the bars, the businesses,” Moore said. “People, stay home, just for a little bit. Stay home from school, just for a little bit. We made a mistake in reopening the state of Michigan too soon. Stop this back and forth.”

By "a little bit," Moore apparently means three or four years.

Cuomo's crew is abandoning ship

Gov. "Handy Andy" Cuomo is being accused by so many women of sexual misconduct and the nursing home scandal that killed 15,000 elderly New Yorkers, that it has gotten to the point that his staff doesn't want to work in his administration. The staff has simply stopped going to work the New York Post reported Saturday. In fact, sources within the governor's den of iniquity told the Post that the New York state capitol building is practically empty of life.

“I hear that most people aren’t even coming into work, and the offices at the Capitol are empty,” said a person described by the outlet as a “well-placed insider in touch with staffers in recent days,” but who wishes to remain anonymous just in case Cuomo gets through these scandals.

“He’ll fight and fight and fight, but the staffers I’ve talked to are ready for him to hang up the gloves. Everyone feels like there is an inevitable conclusion — I mean at some point will Biden call on him to step down? They [staffers] just want this torture to stop,” the person added.

The Post noted that staffers are rebelling even further than previously following Cuomo’s repeated refusals to resign and his claims that “cancel culture” have led to his downfall.

Cancel culture? Ha! Handy Andy doesn't even know what cancel culture is if he's calling his scandals part of the same thing.

“I feel a level of rage toward this fake tough guy,” an ex-aide told the outlet. “The guy thinks he’s the toughest, the hardest working, he’s the smartest. The truth is, he’s anything but. He’s the weakest, he’s the dumbest, and he’s the most shallow of them all. He is genuinely a very small man who pretends to be big.”

Some may disagree and think that it's his brother Chris, aka "Fredo;" aka "Lemon's Aide" who is the dumbest brother. Still, it's a close call.

The ex-aide told the outlet that staffers are choosing to work remotely or at vaccine sites instead of coming into the office, worried Cuomo’s scandals will ruin their careers. Now that would be cancel culture, Andy.

“There’s a deep sense within the governor’s staff that he is guilty of everything, and that is weighing on people,” the ex-aide told the newspaper. “He had that conversation with Charlotte Bennett. Everyone knows that. Everyone believes that full stop and there’s not a single person who believes she’s telling a word that’s off.”

Believe all women. Believe the dead.

Bennett was the second of seven women  [thus far] who have come forward to claim Cuomo sexually harassed them. Unfortunately, his nursing home victims were unable to do the same, but their families can be their voices.

Bennett had alleges that Cuomo "had asked her questions about her sex life, whether her relationships were monogamous, and whether she ever had sex with older men," as previously reported by The Daily Wire. She believed he was "grooming" her to have sex with him.

 

No less than five aides have resigned in the past two weeks.

According to the anonymous staffer, people still in the office who have not left and are making calls on Cuomo's behalf, are met with anger.

“The nature of the calls in Cuomo world have changed. The leverage has completely shifted. It always felt like, when Cuomo’s people call, you must figure out how you are going to try to meet the demand in some form or fashion,” the anonymous former aide said. “Now, they call, and there’s almost an eagerness to say ‘F**k you’ without hesitation … and the staff has to say they get it.”

The Democrats would like us all to focus on the sexual misconduct issues rather than the nursing home mishandling by Cuomo. They have all the skin in the game, including the media, after blowing Cuomo's horn and awarding him an Emmy for his comic performance with Fredo and the Comedy News Network

The GOP mustn't let allow them to get away with it--they need to constantly pound the issue until even those deaf-to-conservative views are heard. A criminal investigation needs to take place with Cuomo, and also with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) for her mishandling of the coronavirus.

Another Dem gets caught breaking his own covid mandate

First there were  Pelosi, Bill de Blasio, the Cuomo bros, Gavin Newsom, Muriel Bowser, Lori Lightfoot, Gretchen Whitmer, Denver's Mayor Hancock, the LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, San Jose Mayor Sam Licardo, 

Now there's the mayor of Austin, Texas, Steve Adler, getting caught violating his own rules on COVID-19. The one thing they have in common: they are all Democrats.

If you are a Democrat, the rules apparently do not apply to you. If you're at a Black Lives Matter demonstration, that's fine--the COVID virus respects your right to protest whether peacefully or not.

The elitism of the Democrats is incredible.

Adler told his community to stay home to stay safe, while he flew to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in a private jet. So not only is he a hypocrite regarding his mandate with the virus, his carbon footprint, his pollution of the planet, was also sky high.

His words: "Stay home if you can ... this is not the time to relax,” he posted to Facebook in a clip. He didn't mention that he was in a Cabo timeshare when he told others to stay home. He flew there with eight other guests.

To add hypocrisy to hypocrisy, the Mexico excursion came one day after Adler hosted a wedding for his daughter with 20 potential COVID-19 spreaders at a hotel in Austin.

At wedding time, Austin was under a Stage 3 advisory, recommending no more than 10 people gather. 

Adler said he’d consulted with Dr. Mark Escott, Austin’s top Democratic health authority, and held the wedding outdoors. He said that guests had to get a COVID-19 test prior to attending. 

Do you believe him?

Several wedding guests flew to Austin from other U.S. locations. The next day, eight of the potential covid-spreaders flew with the mayor to Cabo.

"It's not perfect,” Adler said this week. “Obviously there are infections that could happen. But what we did was stay compliant with the rules." 

And if you believe that, I have a covid cure I'd like to sell you.

The following day after Adler flew to his vacation, Dr. Esper (D) issued a warning: “If you are going to go out to a restaurant, go out with your family, the people who live in your household, not the family or friends who don’t live in your household. And start to decrease those travels outside of your home that are not necessary.”

Adler (D) said in a statement that he recorded in Cabo of his trip: “We were in a lower risk ‘Yellow’ level than now. It is always safest to stay home. However, we aren’t asking people never to venture out. We ask everyone to be as safe as possible in what they do. My family and I are no exception and we’ll continue to do as I ask of our community [now that you caught me].”

You will never catch people like Adler showing off by being the example of what they demand of you.

Last week Texas Judge Bill Gravell (probably a D) paid a $1,000 fine for violating his own coronavirus stay-at-home order to attend his grandson’s birthday party in April. 

There should be a special place in prison for people like this.

Calif. Dems and others accused of hypocrisy over public health guidelines

His nostrils are COVID-free, he thinks

When political leaders don't follow the laws they impose on you, then you are living in a dictatorship.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has now issued a month-long curfew for most of the state and earlier this week said that authorities as "pulling the emergency brake" over the wearing of mask requirements to curb the spread of COVID-19, in spite of scientific proof masks are effective in doing so.

H/T The Daily Wire

About 37 million Californians live in counties under the strictest "purple" tier of his reopening plan while an economic disaster due to his stay-at-home-order is on the horizon for over ten million in Los Angeles County. 

Perhaps if the law required all politicians to forgo their own salaries when forcing others to forgo theirs, lockdowns would not be considered an option.

The original reason for the lockdowns we were told, was to flatten the curve in order to not overwhelm hospitals. Now the reason to flatten the curve is to have lockdowns.

Recent events have caused a growing number of Californians and others with intact prefrontal cortexes to question the moral authority of elected officials who seem to ignore the same guidelines they push onto their constituents. 

The hypocrisy is palpable.

GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel recently tweeted: “The list goes on and on with Democrat leaders from California and beyond saying: Lockdowns and restrictions for thee, but not for me!”

Here are seven times California Democrats got caught skirting COVID-19 protocols:

1. Governor Gavin Newsom

On Monday, Gov. Newsom apologized for attending a Nov. 6 dinner party with about a dozen other people at the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley. More than three households were present, a violation of the mandatory guidelines for social gatherings set forth by the California Department of Public Health at the time.

Newsom said the birthday celebration had taken place outdoors, but images obtained by an investigative reporter in L.A. called that claim into question. [Especially due to the fact that the outdoors don't have a roof with windows.]

EXCLUSIVE: We've obtained photos of Governor Gavin Newsom at the Napa dinner party he's in hot water over. The photos call into question just how outdoors the dinner was. A witness who took photos tells us his group was so loud, the sliding doors had to be closed. 10pm on @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/gtOVEwa864

An unidentified woman who said she recognized Newsom at the ritzy eatery shared the photos with FOX 11 News. The anonymous source said a waitress confirmed the governor was among the guests.

“I was able to document this, especially since nobody was wearing a mask,” she told FOX. “It was a very large group of people shoulder to shoulder, something that he’s always telling us not to do, so yeah, it was a bit annoying for sure.”

[The most disturbing thing was Newsom's smile when he "apologized" on camera.]

2. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti

Earlier this week, Garcetti warned the city, “L.A. is in a very dangerous situation.”

He instructed Angelenos to stay home as much as possible, avoid social gatherings, and “assume everyone you encounter outside of your home is infectious.”

In early June, however, media coverage captured a maskless mayor surrounded by protesters outside L.A. City Hall. [Perhaps the virus is woke.]

As the L.A. Times reported at the time:

It was the kind of scene that, it seems, only this tumultuous year of 2020 could produce.

With the National Guard patrolling the streets of Los Angeles after several nights of looting, violence and fires, hundreds of people gathered downtown to protest the death of George Floyd and police brutality against so many other black people. After weeks of calls for strict social distancing amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Mayor Eric Garcetti joined the crowd, took a knee and pulled down his blue Los Angeles Dodgers face mask to speak.

As he spoke, chants rang out: “Defund the police!”

Garcetti initially said that there was no evidence to support the conclusion that mass protests contributed to a spike in COVID-19 infections over the summer but later acknowledged a connection.

“It’s not the act of protesting – that’s a great and American thing to do no matter what your opinion is,” he said. “But protesting without maintaining physical distancing, without wearing your mask, without having sanitizer, we just have to be smart.”

3 & 4. U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein

87-year-old Sen. Feinstein is the eldest member of the Senate. According to the CDC, “the greatest risk for severe illness from COVID-19 is among those aged 85 or older.”

On Tuesday, she was captured on video speaking in close proximity to two masked individuals without wearing a face covering herself. The discussion took place in a Senate hallway before a hearing with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey.

Dems constantly tiptoe around Feinstein because they want to avoid what she's known for: harsh lectures

Yet here she is flouting all the guidelines. It's not the first time she's done it

I hope she'll get a lecture from the Dems who have been rightly calling out Republicans https://t.co/K1VUOH1pLe

— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) November 17, 2020

The day before the clip went viral, Feinstein’s Twitter account had posted, “We must continue doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19.”

“Please wear a mask,” the tweet continued. “Maintain social distance.”

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Feinstein often has been seen in the Capitol without a mask, though she has voiced support for mask mandates, a political hotbutton in some states.”

Feinstein was also spotted walking through an airport in September without a face covering after saying the Federal Aviation Administration should require masks be worn inside airplanes and passenger terminals.

Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein is a total hypocrite.

Here she is pictured at Dulles Airport on Friday without at a mask.

5 & 6. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

As elected officials across the country discourage family get-togethers during the Thanksgiving holiday, House Speaker Pelosi recently planned an indoor banquet to celebrate newly elected Democratic members of Congress.

Pelosi, 80, told NBC News that there would be enhanced ventilation and said the Capitol physician had approved the event.

“It’s very spaced,” Pelosi said.

House Dem and GOP leaders are holding respective dinners for new members.

The affair had been scheduled for last Friday but was called off after a photograph of the indoor venue circulated on social media.

It wasn’t the first time the speaker had been accused of hypocrisy during the pandemic.

In September, Pelosi said she was set up to be videotaped not wearing a face covering. Security camera footage showed a mask-free Pelosi walking through a San Francisco hair salon in a robe after getting her hair washed, disobeying the city’s public health restrictions.

“I just thought about my staff and people not being able to work and make money and provide for their families,” eSalon owner Erica Kious told Tucker Carlson on FOX News. “And if she’s in there comfortably, without a mask and feeling safe, then why are we shut down?”

7. Several state lawmakers who recently traveled to Hawaii.

The L.A. Times reports at least five Democrats and four Republicans serving in the California State Legislature recently flew to Maui to attend a conference hosted by a San Diego-based group. The four-day event began Monday, three days after Gov. Newsom issued a travel advisory urging people to avoid non-essential travel.

According to the L.A. Times, the lawmakers drew “sharp criticism back in California, where observers say it sends the wrong message for legislators to leave the state and gather at a resort when COVID-19 cases are surging, leading to tougher restrictions on the movement of average residents.”

Some politicians defended the Hawaii trip, where one of the topics reportedly addressed at the conference was how to reopen states safely during the pandemic.


Facing increasing criticism, California legislators defend Hawaii trip during COVID-19 surge https://t.co/FvfOlSSCIw

— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) November 19, 2020

The outlet went on to identify elected officials who it had confirmed attended the conference. They include Democratic Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa, Democratic Assembly members Blanca Rubio of Baldwin Park, Mike Gipson of Carson, Wendy Carrillo of L.A., and Jose Medina of Riverside. Chad Mayes, a former Republican from Rancho Mirage who was re-elected last month with no party affiliation, also reportedly attended. GOP Assembly members Frank Bigelow of O’Neals, Heath Flora of Ripon, and Jordan Cunningham of Paso Robles were also there, the report said, along with Republican Sen. Andreas Borgeas of Modesto.

Newsom’s recent advisory asks them to quarantine for 14 days after re-entering California.

In addition to the 7 instances cite above, there are Democrats beyond California who are blatant hypocrites. 

In Chicago, there's Mayor Lori Lightfoot who was photographed getting her hair done during her imposed lockdown. She even refused to apologize for it saying that as mayor, she needs to look good. But Lightfoot is fighting a losing battle if that is her goal.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) defied a court order to back off her lockdown mandates and is being considered for impeachment by Michigan Republicans. 

Over the summer, Whitmer's husband defied lockdown orders from his wife [but she must have known] and tried to get his boat out of dry dock and into the water. While many believe that the governor was part of the Hitler Youth, she had not been born back then, so it is impossible for her chances now.

Michigan state lawmakers call for a Whitmer impeachment hearing

The Michigan state lawmakers are calling for the impeachment hearings against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Her office responded by ridiculing Republicans for not wearing masks that have recently been shown to be useless against contracting the coronavirus.

The Michigan state lawmakers are calling for Whitmer to be impeached for ignoring court orders that struck down coronavirus restrictions she demanded. The irony is that her husband attempted to use his status as Whitmer's emasculated husband to put his boat in the water while others were denied this luxury.

Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock [aka Mad Matt] along with several of his colleagues announced they are seeking to hold "impeachment hearings for Governor Whitmer" in the state House of Representatives, WXYZ-TV reports.

The social media post lists several reasons why the Republicans contend that Frau Whitmer should be impeached. The most obvious is the ignoring the court orders and due process and the legislature. They also point out that Whitmer was "using our kids as political pawns and denied special needs students who depend on the services that occur during in-person classes."

The Michigan Constitution provides the power of the state House of Representatives to impeach "civil officers for corrupt conduct in office or for crimes or misdemeanors."

In an attempt to toss the blame back on the GOP, Whitmer's office claim the governor "doesn't have any time for partisan politics or people who don't wear masks." In spite of the fact that the claims by the GOP have nothing to do with that but have everything to do with her blatant disregard for the law.

The statement made by Tiffany Brown, Whitmer's press secretary, claims:

"Governor Whitmer doesn't have any time for partisan politics or people who don't wear masks, don't believe in science, and don't have a plan to fight this virus. Right now, she is focused on saving lives. The governor will continue to work hard for all 10 million Michiganders. This is about Michigan vs. COVID-19. Governor Whitmer doesn't care if you're a Trump Republican or a Biden Democrat. We are all in this together,"

Actually, Whitmer cares a great deal if you are a Trump Republican or a Biden Democrat. In fact, that's all she cares about, but she still said, "Part of the problem throughout this pandemic has been that there's been so much partisanship around this public health crisis. Unfortunately, while we've done a lot of outreach with the Michigan legislature, Republican leaders have shown very little seriousness around this issue."

Yes, the partisanship came from the "Orange Man bad" mentality. The left went against everything Trump said, no matter what, and went after him for not wearing a mask when making speeches. 

Whitmer criticized Republicans for refusing to wear masks and said "they don't even know how to protect themselves." 

Recent Danish studies  have found that masks do not protect the wearer but may protect others from the wearer's droplets. However, there is the additional problem whereby most people do not know how to properly use a face mask. In fact, medical students have an entire class dedicated to its proper use. So masks are often rendered totally ineffective and Gov. Whitmer is wrong. 

The governor on Monday claimed she has the authority to issue a second stay-at-home order in response to surging coronavirus cases that have led to an increase of hospitalizations and deaths in the state. She also believes she has the authority to wage war and to make Michigan a country within a country.

New coronavirus restrictions will be put into effect Wednesday in her state. High schools and colleges must stop offering in-person classes, restaurants must end indoor dining, and entertainment businesses such as movie theaters, bowling alleys, and casinos must close for three weeks. Married couples may soon be forced to wear masks at home, including when they go to bed, go to the toilet and to throw out the garbage. Social distancing will be extended to 100 feet. 

Just kidding--she's an idiot. 

The Michigan Supreme Court previously ruled that the idiot's first coronavirus-related executive orders were "an unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution." The new restrictions came from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, not from the governor's office directly, potentially bypassing the court's order in a weasel move.

After the court ruled in October, Whitmer said she would use "alternative sources of authority" to implement coronavirus restrictions that "were not at issue" in the court's decision. She may need to call in the Michigan National Guard and force her will upon the residents of the state.

Unless they impeach her and kick her autocratic butt out of office.
