Democrat Austin Mayor was vacationing in Cabo when he said residents ‘need to stay home’
In early November, as health officials warned of an impending COVID-19 spike, Austin Mayor Steve Adler hosted an outdoor wedding and reception with 20 guests for his daughter at a trendy hotel near downtown. The next morning, Adler and seven other wedding attendees boarded a private jet bound for Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they vacationed for a week at a family timeshare. One night into the trip, Adler addressed Austin residents in a Facebook video: “We need to stay home if you can. This is not the time to relax. We are going to be looking really closely. … We may have to close things down if we are not careful.” In hosting the wedding and traveling internationally, Adler said he broke neither his own order or those established by Gov. Greg Abbott.
Democrat San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo disregards COVID-19 regulations
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo issued an apology Tuesday morning after news reports of him celebrating Thanksgiving with his extended family, disregarding COVID-19 safety regulations. “I apologize for my decision to gather for Thanksgiving with my family, contrary to the rules,” Liccardo wrote on Twitter. In a statement, the mayor said he and his wife joined four other households for an outdoor dinner at his parents’ house in Saratoga for the holiday. “Eight of us representing five households sat around three distanced tables in our own family groups on the back patio, and we wore masks when not eating,” Liccardo wrote.
Democrat San Francisco Mayor attended dinner party during Covid
San Francisco’s mayor, London Breed, is under fire after it was revealed that she attended a birthday party at the restaurant in Napa Valley, just one night after Governor Gavin Newsom did the same. Breed’s party of eight met at the famed restaurant on 7 November to celebrate the birthday of Gorretti Lo Lui, a local socialite whose husband, Lawrence Lui, is a major hotel developer, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Dining indoors was allowed in Napa county at the time, the Chronicle reports, though statewide guidelines discouraged gatherings with members of more than three households. “Breed’s dinner at an opulent restaurant – amid an economic catastrophe that’s shuttered countless small businesses and stretched the lines at local food banks to new lengths – might not have technically ...[Read More]
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has dinner with lobbyist amid COVID-19 surge
The dinner event led to criticism that the governor is flouting the safety guidelines he has set for Californians. California’s COVID-19 safety guidelines limit the number of households at a private gathering, but do not explicitly impose those same rules on restaurant patrons. State guidelines updated in November allow private gatherings of no more than three households at a park or outdoor space. Rules for dining say restaurants should “limit the number of patrons at a single table to a household unit or patrons who have asked to be seated together,” without stating any limits on the number of households that can sit at a table. At the time, Napa County was in the state’s orange tier, which allows for indoor seating. An Oct. 3 post from the Twitter account for the governor, warned restau...[Read More]
Declassified docs show FBI briefed Obama linking Trump to Russia
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Handwritten notes written by former CIA Director John Brennan in a briefing with former President Barrack Obama refer to the allegations of a Trump-Russia collusion, as “a means of distracting the public from her [Hillary’s] use of a private email server.” Brennan said in an interview with CNN that there was “nothing illegal” about stirring up the scandal, rather that it was a campaign tactic aimed to “vilify Trump.” “John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as unlawful activity that deserves follow-up investigation by the FBI,” Brennan told CNN. “No. It was a campaign activity.” [/cmsmasters_text][/cmsmasters_column][/cmsmasters_row][cms...[Read More]
Nancy Pelosi seen without mask inside San Francisco hair salon
For weeks, the people of San Francisco have been waiting for local restrictions to lift so they could return to their routine hair colouring, trims and blowouts. One person, it turned out, did not have to wait. The most powerful elected US Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, has visited a hair salon in San Francisco, breaking rules that only allow service outdoors, in order to control the spread of coronavirus. Ms Pelosi was also seen with a face mask around her neck rather than over her mouth. She has criticised President Donald Trump for not wearing a mask. A spokesman said she did not realise she was breaking her home city’s rules. Thousands of California businesses have shut as part of measures to fight coronavirus. Mrs Pelosi – who always wears masks in public – often admonishes...[Read More]
Goodyear BadPolicy
The Goodyear company labeled Black Lives Matter as acceptable while calling Blue Lives Matter and MAGA unacceptable. A Goodyear employee in Kansas is calling the company’s new zero-tolerance policy “discriminatory” after the company told workers that it is acceptable to wear attire supporting certain social and political causes like Black Lives Matter while labeling others like MAGA and Blue Lives Matter as unacceptable. The photo shared to social media after a recent diversity training session at the plant in Topeka showed a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company slide with two categories: Acceptable and Unacceptable. President Trump responded to the policy on Twitter Wednesday morning. “Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES,They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far ...[Read More]
Fact Checking Eva Longoria
Part of the speech by Eva Longoria as she opens the DNC Convention; “Joe knows about Pandemic’s in 2014. He helped stop the spread of Ebola and brought the world together to keep it contained. And after that success, knowing this would happen again. Vice President Biden and President Obama assembled a pandemic playbook to make sure that America was prepared and protected. The Trump administration disbanded the pandemic response team that was given to them knowing this would happen again. Vice President Biden and President Obama assembled a pandemic playbook. The Trump administration disbanded the pandemic response team. Americans have died and lost their livelihoods because of it. We, the people, deserve a president who believes in science, that recognizes the threat of covid, ...[Read More]
Maxine Waters demands removal of President Trump
The usual thing in the news cycle is the fear mongering about the president trying to steal the election. He wants to be a dictator. He doesn’t want free and fair elections. He’s trying to defund the postal service. He’s taking away mailboxes off the streets because he doesn’t want people to vote. Transcript from an interview on MSNBC Saturday, August 15th, 2020 with Maxine Waters. “This is a president that is the most deplorable human being that I’ve ever encountered in my life, and he’s undermining our democracy. We cannot take any more of this president. This president is not only attacking the person that was just appointed, selected by Biden to be his vice president, and he has not hesitated to do it. This man has no shame. The name calling, h...[Read More]
Democrats vow to increase taxes
Democrat presidential candidates are threatening to impose tax increases on the American people. From repealing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, raising personal and corporate tax rates, the payroll tax, the death tax, and proposing a carbon tax and “wealth tax” — one thing is clear: Democrats will raise taxes if they win the 2020 elections. The ‘Ways and Means Committee’ (Democrat-controlled) are laying the groundwork for a tax increase on businesses, falsely claiming that the corporate rate was lowered at the expense of middle-class families. The corporate tax reduction from 35% to 21% has benefited families and workers alike by growing the economy, raising wages, and creating new jobs. It’s no coincidence that, in the two years since the tax cut, unemployment has dropp...[Read More]
Trump Acquitted
Synonymous with the Democrats skills are their partisan performance art, the tedious drip feed of coordinated leaks and fake-news “bombshells,” and the hypocritical debates about Senate procedure. Almost everything presented in the case for Impeachment was debunked with fact comprising of entire video footage, rather than the piecemeal presentation conveniently clipped out and taken out of context. Also, witnesses sung the same tune of either hearing things that surmounted to hearsay or made up their own conclusions based on their interpretation of events. Mr. Trump was acquitted of both articles of impeachment. In the end, the Senate vote fell far short of the two-thirds majority needed to remove the president from office.
First Russian Collusion, now Ukraine Quid Pro Quo
America’s government has been embroiled in a shameful impeachment charade for months now. The Democrats are demonstrating that there is virtually no limit to what they are willing to do to attack the president and undermine the last election—and the next one. Meanwhile, revelations continue to emerge about their abuse of the intelligence agencies to spy on Americans, even the president himself. Carter Page became the subject of a FISA surveillance warrant beginning in October 2016. This warrant was total bunk, based on the compromised findings of Christopher Steele, who compiled it for Clinton-linked data firm Fusion GPS. This week Page filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in Illinois against the DNC as well as the law firm Perkins Coie and its partners, who contracted opposition research firm...[Read More]
