Big Government A Joke

Small government was the vision of our founding fathers. It’s the reason America has provided its people more freedom and more opportunity to live a better life. But with the recent fake election of perhaps the most corrupt and radical government in our history, are these values vanishing?

Appearing on this segment of PragerU, Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers provides some perspective, summing up the political climate on Capitol Hill perfectly: “It’s just an amazing deal what they’re doing,” Rodgers says. “If you look around our environment today, it’s not like the government is helping anybody out in a timely fashion. It took forever to figure out how to give $600 checks away. To count on the government to help us out is becoming a joke at this point.”

Rodgers lauded Barstool Sports, a sports and pop-culture blog that created a fund to help small businesses endure the catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rodgers says relying on government is not the answer, people helping people is the way to go.

PragerU founder Dennis Prager concurred, adding that every society in history has shown us that, as government grows, human freedom and happiness shrinks. “The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen,” he says. Here’s more from PragerU.

Buyer’s Remorse

What American voters thought they were getting with the election of Joe Biden and what they got are two very different things. Millions of people who voted for Biden have no idea who he really is. The reason why can be traced directly to the dishonest and corrupt mainstream media. And to be fair, you really can’t fault somebody from making a bad decision, if they’re given bad information.

But now that all is said and done–or so they think–the truth is rearing its ugly head. Take The Washington Post, which just admitted that President Trump did not incite the Capitol riot. This nugget of truth after Biden took office. Makes you wonder about the lies splashed across their pages before the election. More cases in point come from Biden’s executive orders on his first day in office. One of his first measures was halting construction of the border wall, a structure that the majority of Americans supported, and banning the travel order from terrorist Muslin countries. So will Biden be responsible if a terrorist or two slips into the country to create havoc? Again, truth versus reality.

But the post-election gem, says political commentator Bill Whittle, comes from news outlet Politico, who says it is no longer going to cover Biden’s cognitive dissonance. Whether he won the election fairly or unfairly, the COVID pandemic provided him the opportunity not to appear in public or prepare statements. Now, he’s in the Oval Office–the real world–and he must deal in real time. “Buyer’s remorse is coming in a series of semi-trucks, an entire convoy of all these things coming out now,” Whittle says. “None of these things came out before the election.” Here’s more with Whittle.

It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over

As Yankee great Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” That’s the sentiment of many patriots, who still believe there’s a long way to go before the Presidential election chaos in D.C. is settled. One such patriot tells Martin Brodel that with their terrible crimes now documented and finalized, the bad guys will be rounded up by the U.S. military, federalized National Guard and Marines currently on site in Washington.

He says the military will then assume control of the government until March 4, at which time President Trump will be inaugurated as the 19th President of the United States Republic, not the U.S. Corporation it was for many years and is now defunct (19th because the last Commander in Chief of the Republic was Ulysses S. Grant, who was inaugurated our 18th President in 1869. See Act of 1871). Says Brodel, “That’s what we’re all hoping for. The crimes had to play out so we could see everything. As to how much more they need to play out, I don’t know.”

Also on the Brodel docket, Wall Street predicts the beginning of the end for the COVID crisis, perfectly timed to coincide with Biden’s inauguration. Imagine that. Poof! It’s gone. Make’s one wonder if it was ever here. He also discusses a barrage of President Biden’s first-day executive orders, several new countries and airlines adopting vaccine passports, the world’s biggest asset manager to purchase Bitcoin and D.C. offering a bag of weed in exchange for getting vaccinated. It’s going to get weird, folks.

China Voter Fraud Ringleader

In an impromptu briefing over the weekend, Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney says that although reports exploded that the Italian government satellite Leonardo was used to manipulate the U.S. Presidential election by changing votes, there were many other countries involved and China was the ringleader. “It had to be controlled from China, using Hammer and Scorecard in my opinion,” he says. “You couldn’t have so many attacks because you’d be changing numbers in all the 50 states and it just wouldn’t match up. That has to be synchronized.” The countries involved allegedly used a supercomputer called Hammer and the software Scorecard to alter vote counts on election night.

McInerney also dispelled rumors that the bad guys retrieved Nancy Pelosi’s laptop, confirming that special military forces that infiltrated the Capitol Hill mob were in fact in possession of the computer and many others. He also reiterated that much to the chagrin of the Deep State, President Trump has a secret source who’s singing like a songbird because he/she doesn’t want to be part of the treasonous cover-up. “Tell everybody to wake up America! This is serious stuff,” he warns. Here’ more with McInerney on Mongoose 167.

The Good News Of 2020

The general consensus anywhere on the planet these days is that 2020 ranks as one of the worst years on record. Not only were we consumed with the COVID-19 pandemic, but also a strong economic downturn, political divisiveness like we’ve never witnessed and scandal after scandal.

On the flip side, historian Johan Norberg, author of The Story of Human Progress, says we’ve never had a better year and points out that people don’t realize that life keeps getting better. And he doubles down and says, “If I were to pick a year, the best year in human history to face a pandemic, I would say it’s 2020.”

Facing such a threat, say in 2005, would have been bad news, since we didn’t have the technology to create the vaccines we now have. In the 1990s, we didn’t have the worldwide web and in the 1970s we had no way to read the genome of the virus. Forget the 1950s, we wouldn’t have had a single ventilator.

In addition, Norberg says, the world has become a lot wealthier. “If you look at specifics like global poverty, child mortality, chronic undernourishment and illiteracy, they all declined faster than ever.” He elaborates further on our prosperity in the following interview with John Stossel.

A Salvo For Civil Liberties

Liberty is declining and the COVID-19 shutdown is a perfect example. Take the Draconian measures Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed on the residents of the Golden State–lockdowns across the board and farcical stay-at-home measures.

Valiant Riverside, Calif., Sherriff Chad Bianca, one of a handful of California authorities who will defy the orders, put it succinctly. “The metrics used for closures are unbelievably faulty and are not representative of true numbers, and are disastrous for Riverside County.” He goes on to say Newsom’s edict is a direct attack on our civil liberties and freedom, and adds, “I believe that all jobs are essential to someone.”

Dennis Prager concurs and cites a case in point from the legendary 1969 Woodstock Festival in upstate New York. The rowdy “party” drew more than 100,000 people from across the planet right in the middle of the highly contagious Hong Kong Flu pandemic. The flu, which broke out in 1968 and lasted nearly two years, killed an estimated 1-4 million people worldwide. Yet, there was no social distancing, no masks, no shutdowns, no abuse of our civil rights. Unlike in today’s pandemic climate, why didn’t people get locked down then? “Because people believed in freedom,” Prager says. “It would have been unacceptable to Americans.” Hear more of his logic on PragerU.

Vaccine Is Left’s Worst Fear

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic struck the planet, the far Left, Marxists, Deep State and globalists have been using the pandemic to slowly implement new policies that do little but further their control over our lives. But Glenn Beck says all that is about to change with the release of the new coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer, with a predicted 90 percent rate of success.

The vaccine will not only go a long way in ending the pandemic, it also will in effect destroy the sinister plans of the Deep State’s Great Reset. Globalists are furious that the vaccine, with its high rate of effectiveness, has been created because it will take the plans of the World Economic Forum and the World Bank and chuck them out the window.

For the Left to execute the Great Reset, they need the COVID-19 emergency to persist indefinitely, or at least long enough for Americans to be willing to accept a World Bank digital currency instead of U.S. dollars, and be willing to allow the U.N. control our food supplies and medical distribution of the vaccine.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste,” Beck says of the Left’s dog whistle these days. “What happens when a for-profit company cancels the crisis with a cure? They have to cancel a cure with more crisis.”

Vaccine Better Than Expected

Pfizer is now saying that its new coronavirus vaccine has proven to be more than 90 percent effective and it could be used before the end of the year. The giant pharma reported that out of 44,000 participants in its trials, 94 contracted COVID-19. Four weeks after the two-dose regimen and seven days after the second injection, protection from systematic COVID was greater than 90 percent.

Dr. Mikael Dolsten, Pfizer’s chief scientific officer, was ecstatic. “We were jumping out of the chairs, screaming basically, this is unbelievable, oh my God!,” he says. “We may put an end to this terrible pandemic.”

Pfizer’s vaccine, one of four in late-stage trials in the United States, even caught the attention of the country’s top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said the results could convince hesitant Americans to roll up their sleeves. Here’s more from CBS News.

In a related development, President Trump is accusing Pfizer of purposely waiting until after the election to release news of the vaccine. The president tweeted the accusation earlier in the week, saying Pfizer didn’t have the courage to release the news prior to the election. He added, “Likewise the U.S. FDA should have announced it earlier, not for political purposes but for saving lives.” Here’s more from News 4 Jax in Jacksonville, Fla.

Sleepy Joe Can’t Fix Anything

Bill O’Reilly tells us that President Donald Trump could have been more proactive on mask-wearing, but his response to the coronavirus pandemic did save the entire American economy. Now Joe Biden says he’s going to fix it? Come on, man!

There’s a segment of the population that hates Trump personally and that hatred overrides the issues. Not good for America. O’Reilly says that Trump has governed in a way that doesn’t disassemble traditional America. If he’s elected, things will remain primarily the same with lots of room for improvement. His primary goals will be to improve race relations, defend law enforcement and get COVID-19 under control.

Biden, on the other hand, is intent on pointing fingers, proclaiming he’s going to fix the problem immediately, as if he could wave a magic wand. Says O’Reilly, “Biden’s not going to fix anything. I’m not an idiot and neither are you. He may be proactive, but if he is, he’s going to hurt the economy.” Here’s more with O’Reilly on The First.

Aikman, Buck Crap On Military

When it comes to the National Football League, patriotism sells tickets and viewership ads. So any thought of the league being at odds with the military is absurd.

That wasn’t the case during a hot mic moment during the pregame of the Green Bay-Tampa Bay Week 6 matchup last Sunday night. The veteran broadcast team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman seemingly crapped on the military during a Pentagon jets flyover, unwittingly exposing themselves as soldiers of the Left. Aikman, former Hall of Fame quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, opened the sequence by saying, “That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover.” Buck countered with, “That’s your hard-earned money and tax dollars at work.” At which time Aikman finished off the idiocy with, “That stuff ain’t happening with a Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you right now.”

This is the new NFL, folks. Kowtowing to the Left and its fake concern over alleged racial injustice. Bowing to the whims of terrorist organizations, with their stenciled-in propaganda in stadiums throughout the league and on uniforms and our American flag be damned.

Meanwhile, the limited crowds attending games because of the COVID-19 pandemic don’t like what they see, aggressively booing the league’s surrender to Black Lives Matter. And it’s starting to take its toll. Through Week 6, gate receipts and TV viewership have plummeted significantly. And these spoiled athletes and executives wonder why. Here’s more with Salty Cracker.
