Obamagate !

OBAMAGATE.  
Lately Pres. Donald Trump has been putting out "one liners" lashing our during the pandemic , or the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine is causing him to "gaff".  While WE MIGHT LAUGH out loud , on what Trump says , there can be some truth to it. The rundown on  (1)>>"Obamagate" is U.S. President Donald Trump's latest catchphrase.Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "The biggest political crime in American history, by far!" A few days later a Washington Post journalist asked the president what exactly he was referring to."Obamagate. Here is one that we all know of . Obama trying to sabotage Trump's election . (2)>>Trump was "spied" on.  It's an older hashtag with which people claim that Obama spied on Donald Trump by ordering wiretaps. Members of the Trump campaign have been under investigation and even indicted, but there is currently no direct evidence that Obama had anything to do with it. It's getting attention again because of a memo released by congressman Devin Nunes.Devin Nunes is the chairman of the 'House Intelligence Committee' which oversees the FBI. His memo claimed that opposition research that was paid for by democrats was used by the FBI to get a warrant to renew (3)>>wiretaps on Carter Page (a suspect in the Russia investigation). Nunes argues that the wiretaps would never have been renewed if it weren't for democrat interference and that the investigation is political. It's important to note that Nunes did not read the court document that the FBI used to request the wiretap renewal and that the Trump appointed republican head of the FBI claims the memo is inaccurate.Some people see these events as further evidence that Obama and his administration were involved in spying on Donald Trump. It's been going on for a long time. It's been going on from before I even got elected. And it's a disgrace that it happened," Trump said at a press conference.Then Trump was asked about what specific crime he was accusing Obama of."You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you've got to do is read the newspapers, except yours," Trump said to the Washington Post reporter, in reference again to Obamagate. So what crime could that be that would make any logical sense ? UNLESS Trump was referning to (4)>>Gov.  Rod
Blagojevichscandal-tainted governor,  after he was accused of trying to sell the president-elect's old seat in the Senate.The scandal was overshadowed ny Obama's attempts to have a smooth and orderly transition to the White House. Remember too that , a prominent fellow Democrat accused Obama of failing to move decisively enough to contain the scandal. Well it seems that there was a cover up of somekind , with or without Obama's knowledge . For I while I thought Obama was sqeeky clean cut politician. Blagojevich's scandal was quickly covered up , pretty much of the Media=Press at that time , the media was Pro-Obama . Obama is not accused of wrongdoing, and he has said he was confident that his staff did not engage in deal-making with Blagojevich. Ed Rendell, the Pennsylvania governor known for his bluntness, yesterday accused Obama of failing to act decisively enough to offer a full account of his team's dealings - if any - with the governor and of putting the scandal to rest. But Rendell, who supported Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary, said Obama had not gone far enough to dispel questions about the scandal. He added that the public understood that Obama's aides would have had some contact with Blagojevich - and that such contacts were natural and above board. "Politicians are always misjudging the intelligence of the American people," Rendell said.
 IN LIKE FLYNN.
Trump started to tweet incessantly about Obamagate last weekend, just after a story emerged on Friday detailing Obama's private criticism of the Trump administration's coronavirus response."What we're fighting against is these long term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided and seeing others as the enemy – that has become a stronger impulse in American life," Obama told former members of his administration, in comments leaked to Yahoo News."It's part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anaemic and spotty."It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster, when that mindset – of 'what's in it for me' and 'to heck with everybody else' – when that mindset is operationalised in our government."The former president also criticised the (5)>>US Justice Department's decision to drop its case against Flynn."That's the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic – not just institutionalised norms, but our basic understanding of the rule of law, is at risk," he said.Republicans said Obama had breached the informal tradition that former presidents refrain from criticising the current occupant of the White House.Senate leader Mitch McConnell said Obama "should have kept his mouth shut".Trump, meanwhile, reacted by accusing his predecessor of committing "the biggest crime in American political history by far".  Meanwhile, the Post is leading the media–Democrat effort to contort the fact that many Republicans were wrong in assuming Flynn had been unmasked prior to his name’s being leaked to the Post in early 2017 into a storyline that those Republicans must have been wrong to claim the leak was illegal. To the contrary, the leak is a felony, regardless of whether an American’s identity should have been concealed. Information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is classified.  (6)>>The point of classifying information is to keep all of it concealed, not just the names.  WE  should be asking that question because everybody's asking that amongst  many other questions this on the Federalist did Obama's Department of Justice leaked Michael Flynn's Russia phone call to set him up did the Department of Justice leak or arrange the leak of Michael Flynn's call with  Sergey kiss lack to get around the FBI's effort to keep secret the investigation of Flynn they did and that's all coming out now in the wash and I'm gonna show you two examples of that Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell in October 24th to 2019 court filing alleged at the office of net assessment director James Baker is to believe to be the person who illegally leaked the transcript of mr. Flynn's calls you'll notice  will never say a Washington reporters names it's absolutely useless so far this has not been confirmed by the government and Baker has not been charged this led to of course now many many many broadcasts this is how many broadcasts it takes to get to the root of the Obama gate.
Joe Biden's Connection?

Biden has a big corruption problem and it makes him a weak candidate. EVEN if it's the (7)>>Ukraine connection with his son Hunter Biden . Biden has played over 40 years of Deep State politics. Now Biden—no less gaffe-prone, no less flawed a candidate, and pushing 80 to boot—is within reach of the prize he has pursued for 33 years. How ever , for most Americans who are in the Democratic Party , they are stuck with less than fresh new faces to lead the nation . They only have the establishment career politican  namely Joe Biden.  The office of former President Barack Obama in a March letter privately assailed a congressional investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son's work at a Ukrainian energy company, calling it an attempt "to shift the blame for Russian interference in the 2016 election to Ukraine."In March, Obama’s office told the National Archives and Records Administration — which maintains presidential records — that a request from two top Republican senators for Obama administration documents related to Ukraine was improper.The letter from Obama adds to Democratic criticism of the Senate probe as being a politically motivated effort to damage Biden’s presidential campaign against President Donald Trump and represents the first time Obama or his office has commented on the controversial investigation into his former vice president. While Biden family business arrangements may have been appalling, they fell within federal rules. It’s true that federal ethics and conflict-of-interest regulations generally apply more to appointed officials than to elected ones. It’s also true that such rules tend to focus on the direct financial interests of officials, spouses and their minor children.To further link Biden alleged wrongdoing against Flynn, the Trump administration declassified sensitive information about US intelligence reports that mentioned Flynn during the transition. Biden or one of his staffers accessed at least one of these reports, which Trump now says proves his theory.




NOTES AND COMMENTS"

(1)>>"Obamagate".The word itself is a play on the Watergate scandal which ended with former President Richard Nixon resigning after his administration was caught trying to cover up a failed break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building in Washington D.C. in 1972.  Since then, 'gate' has been used as a suffix on many scandals, from Pizzagate and Deflategate, even to Gategate. (2)>>Trump was "spied" on.  US intelligence agencies routinely spy on hundreds of foreigners. That involves reading their messages and listening to their phone calls.Before that intelligence is circulated throughout the government, the names of any Americans the foreigner spoke to are typically removed. So, the initial intelligence report does not say that, for example, Sergey Kislyak spoke to Michael Flynn – merely that he spoke to an unnamed American.US officials with the proper level of clearance can ask for an American's identity to be "unmasked", to give them a more complete understanding of the intelligence. It's a common process that happens thousands of times every year. Those conversations happened on December 29, 2016 – the same day Obama imposed sanctions on Russia to punish it for its interference in the US election.The phone calls were intercepted by US intelligence, which routinely monitors the communications of foreign diplomats. Officials were concerned Flynn had undercut the Obama administration's policy on sanctions by giving Russia the impression it could expect them to be relaxed once Trump took office.  (3)>>wiretaps on Carter Page. In 2016 and 2017, there were four government wiretaps against Page, each reportedly lasting 90 days. The FBI’s theory was that Page was a Russian agent, or imminently about to become one. A wiretap allows government agents to collect, listen to, read, rifle through and store emails, snail mail, phone calls, text messages, photographs, bank records — you name it. But under a little-known policy, the government allows itself to extend the collection of personal material far beyond the wiretapped target … to people “two hops” away from that person. Unable to legitimately spy on Donald Trump himself, did intel officials search for people around him to wiretap, knowing they could sweep up Trump indirectly? Page could have been considered an easy target for a wiretap because he had worked in Russia for Merrill Lynch. The CIA and FBI knew of him well, because he had assisted them in previous Russia spy cases. (4)>>Gov.  Rod Blagojevich.  Blagojevich was convicted of soliciting bribes, attempted extortion and wire fraud, and was sentenced to 14 years. His release date was projected for 2024 until Trump stepped in. But why would the Republican president, who once promised to drain the swamp, show mercy to a Democrat viewed by critics as the embodiment of dirty politics?Even the president's fellow party members in Illinois criticised his decision.The state's House Republican delegation said in a statement: "Blagojevich is the face of public corruption in Illinois and not once has he shown any remorse."But Trump was having none of it. "That was a tremendously powerful, ridiculous sentence," he told reporters on Tuesday.Speaking to reporters after his release, Blagojevich described his "long, unhappy journey" as a "political prisoner" and thanked the president on behalf of his family.Even before he won the White House, Trump expressed sympathy for Blagojevich, who was convicted of flagrant corruption.In 2008, he was responsible for naming someone to fill the Senate seat of Obama, who had been elected president.(5)>>US Justice Department's decision to drop its case against Flynn. According to published reports, the unmasking of Flynn has become the main focus in Trump's unsubstantiated claim that he and his aides were the targets of an Obama administration "witch hunt." Washington Post revealed that Flynn, while he was still a private citizen and Barack Obama was still President, had discussed American sanctions against Russia with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian Ambassador in Washington.   (6)> The point of classifying information is to keep all of it concealed  Then-FBI Director James Comey suggested that President Barack Obama might want to keep information about Russia from incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn in January 2017, according to a newly declassified email that Flynn’s predecessor Susan Rice sent to herself the day President Trump was sworn into office. In the declassified email, which Rice sent to herself on Jan. 20, 2017, she documented a Jan. 5 meeting she took part in with Obama, then-Vice President Biden, Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates regarding Flynn. Rice decided to pen the memo at the direction of Obama’s White House counsel, Neil Eggleston, Rice’s spokeswoman told Fox News on Wednesday.“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book,’” Rice wrote to herself, referring to Flynn’s calls to Russian Ambassador Sergey KislyakThe Flynn–Kislyak call was intercepted because the FBI had FISA coverage on Kislyak, and both the Bureau and the Obama White House instantly recognized that hyping the call could advance all these objectives. Then, they really hit the jackpot: Even though Flynn had done nothing wrong, Trump officials amateurishly misled the public about the call — claiming that Obama’s sanctions were not discussed, rather than that the topic came up but Flynn made no concessions to Moscow. This, naturally, stoked a few “Flynn discussed the sanctions, then lied” news cycles. These amplified the frenzy over publication of the Steele dossier — choreographed by Obama-administration leaks about the Russia briefing our intelligence agencies gave Trump. Flynn’s days were numbered. By Valentine’s Day, he was cashiered as national-security advisor . . . no longer an obstacle to the Obama-driven strategy of continuing the Trump–Russia investigation after Trump took office. Rice wrote that Obama “wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”Rice went on to write that Comey expressed some concerns about the frequency with which Flynn was communicating with Kislyak, saying that it could pose an issue when it came to sharing sensitive information.Rice alleges that Obama then asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information to Flynn relating to Russia, to which Comey replied “potentially.”“[Comey] added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that ‘the level of communication is unusual,'” she wrote.She added: “The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.” Flynn was fired in early 2017 for lying to Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador, causing Pence to lie in an interview unknowingly. Flynn pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to the FBI about those conversations with Kislyak.In April, documents were released as part of a re-examination of Flynn’s case that showed the then-counterintelligence director of the bureau openly questioned whether the agency’s “goal” was to “get [Flynn] to lie.”  (7)>>Ukraine connection with his son Hunter Biden .    Biden’s answer, his bizarre claim that “no one has said my son did anything wrong,” deserves more attention. This sweeping denial suggests that the former vice president is still unwilling to accept what even some of his supporters have admitted: that his son did something legal but unethical by taking money to help launder the reputation of a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch.

stimulus and MORE Stimulus !

While we are so eager to get our Government Stimulus check . This has me wondering if this  (1)>>idea of pumping money to people is really a good idea or not. I have some problems with it . LET'S think back to 2009 . The Obama-era stimulus package pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into the U.S. economy to stave off the Great Recession. Though a decade of putting money into the hands of people is vary wastful tactic by the government .  (1.2)>>The Obama stimulus did very little , it bailed out the Banks and Wall Street . It took a decade for a full economic recovery , that was because of Donald J Trump who took the foundation laid by Obama , made a few twists by cutting taxes which generated more money into the hand of people . While it's not perfect what Trump did , remember unemplyoment was at 3.4 % .   As I wrote before , the massive layoffs of people should not be happening . It's the government's fault for forcing people out of work as In the case of the pandemic.   (1.3)>>The government is wasting money , adding to the Federal deficit.  ALL the people should just go back to work when the shelter in place is lifted . It's so simple .  .Some in Washington, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, question whether the preceding relief measures have met their goals and want to tap the brakes before approving more federal spending to evaluate the effects of the already-approved relief packages. McConnell and others also worry how additional (2)>>stimulus packages will increase the historic federal deficit. Now Well, it's a stimulus program. They want people to spend it. Sure it'd be nice for only those who need it to get it, but in her case that cash flows away... and helps support whatever coaching service she's buying. So in that sense it's working as intended. This past Friday evening, the US House of Representatives voted to pass a second coronavirus relief bill to assist those battered economically by the coronavirus pandemic. The proposed legislation seeks to infuse up to $3 trillion into the US economy, and would include another round of stimulus checks to individual Americans, as well as financial aid for people who are unemployed, struggling businesses, the US Postal Service and money to help pay for coronavirus testing. Clearing the House of Representatives -- which is controlled by a Democrat majority -- is one step in the journey from bill to law, but by no means a guarantee. The question, however, is how will their Republican and Democratic colleagues in Congress ultimately agree on an economic relief package that will not only gain Trump’s signature but also get money to those who need it quickly?




NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>idea of pumping money to people is really a good idea or not.This country has a 34 trillion dollar deficit and cannot afford more debt. to pay this debt, every U.S. citizen would have to pay $170,000 each to eliminate our debt. Printing more money only causes more inflation. How much more debt do you think our country can withstand before our financial situation finally collapses all programs, including Social Security?  (1.2)>>The government is wasting money. This isn't even remotely confirmed yet. This is an idea in someone's brain still, not attached to paper and not voted on"Senate Republicans have also discussed combining the House-passed bill and the broader stimulus measures being proposed by the administration, according to a person familiar with the discussions. Such a move could speed up passage of the coronavirus response provisions in the Senate, but it would require the House to return to Washington to approve the new combined package."This is a ploy to make further cuts to the already passed House bill for aid, which itself was already severely cut back thanks to House Republicans fighting tooth and nail against all forms of paid sick leave."The Trump administration’s stimulus plan will include roughly $50 billion for the airline industry, according to the people, as well as billions of dollars in general stimulus that could include a payroll tax cut."This is absolutely a trojan horse designed to swindle low information voters with the potential for a $1,000 check into supporting the complete gutting of social security and medicare. At the same time, billions upon billions will be given to industries that intentionally made themselves poorly prepared for these kinds of scenarios in order to artificially inflate their value through stock buybacks.We live in unique times, do not use that as an excuse to be underinformed or compromise with those who want nothing but profits and suffering.   (1.2)>>The Obama stimulus did very little      In early 2009, President Obama predicted that his American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would "jump-start our economy," "create new jobs," and provide "many years of economic growth." He claimed that this growth would "cut the deficit in half by the end of [his] first term in office" and put "our nation on sound fiscal footing." Terrified of a repeat of the Great Depression, Americans supported the president's plan for more than $1 trillion in new government spending.There is little evidence for any correlation between infrastructure spending and short-term job growth. Analysis of the economy 10 months into President Obama’s first economic stimulus plan, cited in a January 12, 2010 Associated Press article, found that, “A federal spending surge of more than $20 billion for roads and bridges in President Obama’s first stimulus has had no effect on local unemployment rates…, it didn’t matter if a lot of money was spent on highways or none at all: Local unemployment rates rose and fell regardless. And the stimulus spending only barely helped the beleaguered construction industry.”(2)>>stimulus packages will increase the historic federal deficit. The Treasury Department said  that it will borrow {FROM CHINA] $3 trillion during the current quarter to cover the massive cost of the federal government’s response to the coronavirus crisis.  The Congressional Budget Office said that it expects the federal budget deficit to hit $3.7 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2020—more than four times the current deficit at the halfway mark of the fiscal year.Less than two months since the U.S. began to reckon with the Covid-19 pandemic, Washington has already passed three stimulus packages that will increase federal spending by half, quadruple the deficit, spend twice as much as existing tax revenue, and trigger the largest monetary expansion since the Civil War. We need a reality...Administration statements over the past few days point to something on the order of $2 trillion in economic juice. By contrast, then-President Barack Obama ushered an $831 billion package through during the financial crisis.That type of fiscal burden comes as the government already has chalked up $624.5 billion in red ink through just the first five months of the fiscal year, which started in October. That spending pace extrapolated through the full fiscal year would lead to a $1.5 trillion deficit, and that’s aside from any of the spending to combat the coronavirus.Already, the national debt stands at more than $23.5 trillion and will be on track to eclipse $25 trillion. Taxpayers shelled out $574.6 billion in fiscal 2019 on interest payments for the debt and another $229.1 billion in fiscal 2020. In short, the shock from the COVID-19 spread will blow a fiscal hole through Washington, D.C., that could take years if not decades to patch. Yet a growing number of economists and other experts think that, at least for now, the nation's debt isn't a problem. Even the Peterson Foundation, which has long argued for paying down public debt, recently came out in favor of federal stimulus spending to fight the coronavirus recession. So, too, has Kenneth Rogoff, the Harvard economist who in 2009 co-wrote a seminal history of financial collapses that warned about the risks spiraling national debt.

May opinions PART 2.

Oh California !
 Well the  (1)>>Lockdowns have hurt a number of States in America . Before the pandemic, most states had generally healthy budget situations and were working on adding to their reserves, which had been built over the decade since the Great Recession. Now state finances are in peril regardless of the actual number of infections. In nearly every state that has estimates, the projected budget gaps are bigger than the emergency savings. As it appears that  California finance officials revealed a $54 billion deficit. So here is the conflicting news. Governor Gavin Newsom proposes billions in California budget cuts while releasing prison inmates and supplying stimulus to illegal immigrants. Makes sense to you ? OK? Wasn't California the state that put a balanced budget into law or something? Or was it a "no tax increases on anything" law? but you know that California may have never had a budget that was ever fiscally sound. The 30 or so years that I have been reading and studying politicals and the California economy for example going back to Gov. Pete Wilson . California has always been the tax and spend state.  The state has a huge buget that exceeds over 300 billion since 2000 AD. For weeks people have begged to go back to work. They don’t want government money, they want to earn it for themselves. But Newsom and county health officials would not allow it. They would rather risk making more people dependent on the government to survive. The problem is that as more people become dependent on government support, there are fewer people on which the government can depend for taxes. And the deficit grows. Without sugar-coating how hard the prolonged shutdown of businesses and job losses will hit the state, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration released bleak projections on key statewide indicators: 18% unemployment rate for the year, 21% drop in new housing permits and nearly 9% decline in California personal income. Well how the "hell" did this happen?  (2)>>In California the Democrats blew the hole in the budget as it were they who ordered business closed and folks laid off, not some microscopic virus. They the Democrats should be proud of the financial implosion they caused, and if not, then why did they cause it? Do not tell me they don't have the intellect to look down the road a short bit to understand what it is they wrought with their orders. Aren't saved lives more important than money to run government? Or is it lives saved are only more important than the common citizen's livelihood as we were told when the orders came down?Gov. Gavin Newsom, who ordered the country’s first statewide stay-home order March 19 to slow the 'virus’ spread, hinted at the mounting economic toll of shutting all but essential businesses.“These numbers are jaw-dropping, and it is alarming,” Newsom said in his daily news briefing, recalling that it was just January when he announced a $6 billion budget surplus. We may be we were all lied to . OR Gov. Newsom like Donald Trump and the rest of the Federal Government was making its estimates based on an over infalted , over estimated data .  AS AGAIN On March 18, the governor wrote a letter to the president stating, “We project that roughly 56% of our population — 25.5 million people — will be infected with the virus over an eight week period.” Apparently the governor also believed that the case mortality infection rate was at least 1%, meaning there would be at least 255,000 deaths in California. At any rate Gov. Newsom over reacted . The worse part is he spent a billion dollars traying to get medical grade face masks by cutting a deal with a Chinese manufacturer 👉“"Newsom $1B mask deal too fragile to disclose?"   While  a year ago , perhaps going back to 2018 , there was a lot of unchecked spending on the state level  that coincided with increased  taxes. The idea that California had a rainy day fund , or surplus can't be believed . AS Newsom acknowledged all of that has disappeared “in a blink of an eye” as he walked back many of his January proposals. Will it has been 3 months , Newsom's frighting projections turned to fizzing out like a bad batch of soda .  So what else is wrong with California? Answer now  its not the virus but it's budget .

Fake  Covid Victims?
George Stephanopoulos  a victim of COVID -19 ?
seen self isolating taking a walk , just where
is his mask???
I am by no means saying that Covid-19 is some fake virus that doesn't exist. No, I am actually not really even concerned about the virus itself  but rather the political and psychological force that keeps pushing it through the media.When the story of ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos has tested positive for Covid-19. I was a bit of a skeptic . About the same time , CNN's Chris Coumo some how also tested postive as well. I don't know , but I had a hunch the news media was hyping the pandemic to include celebrities as some of the victims to condition the public that anyone  can catch the virus . It could be that we have stories of people who have COVID -19 and were told to "self isolate" and "take medication" , "call your medical provider if you have shortness of breath" . I don't know if you understand what I am getting at . Here is what I am trying to say , there are true victims of the coronavirus , they probably are on ventilators in bed . There is a certain percentage of the victims that look perfectly healthy , they appeared on national TV claiming to have survived COVID-19 . Well I don't buy it . They have to be fake . If you look at the mortality rate for the virus as shown on CNN's daily death toll , how  contiguous the virus is . You can't have healthy looking virus carriers , and have really sick ones in a hospital .  There is a whole lot confusion regarding Asymptomatic carriers . One of the traits of the virus is that a person could be infected , not show any symptoms for 14 days . It seems to contradict the rate of infection that was first reported in China last year .  With the asymptomatic scare which has lead to widespread paranoia , social distance practices among people . All we need is people to claim that they have the virus and lied about it on national TV.


Mysterious Childhood  inflammatory illness?


Besides having to deal with fake media celebrities on televison claiming to have the virus.There is a new twist to the COVID-19 scare that is now going full swing just to frighten parents . Several anecdotal reports have noted that some children with this strange inflammatory syndrome show similar symptoms to children with Kawasaki disease, which is a childhood illness that triggers inflammation in the blood vessels and can cause lasting heart damage, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Well lets suppose that the Childhood inflammatory illness is not COVID -19 after all , it's REALLY Kawasaki disease ? I often had that in mind , you know in this day and so call "new normal" that "they" are finding new ways to scare us , to keep you locked up. CNN did a report last week that COVID-19 can be transmitted by sexual intercorse. That story was a whopper of a story from fake CNN !!! It's like the media outlets , those behind it are just pushing outlandish material to make the Coronavirus as some sort of living creature that mutates like some monster that is out to get us, so far the symptoms are no longer like the flu , but more like the bubonic plague. The Idiots are trying to make it appear far more deadlier than it really is . Look I am not mocking the Children who may have suffered Kawasaki disease it's a serious illness that has been around for a long time. It's the sheer magnatude how the virus now is weaponized as a tactic spreading fear .So far the medical report goes on that "  Physicians are calling the condition a "multisystem inflammatory" disease that appears "Kawasaki-like," meaning it shares some symptoms with Kawasaki disease, including high fever, skin rashes, and in some cases, heart inflammation, Live Science previously reported. Some of these symptoms also appear in toxic shock syndrome, a life-threatening condition caused by toxins produced by certain types of bacteria".  So is this COVID-19 related ? Probably not , its seems like everything is now COVID-19.  

The NEW ABNORMAL "NORMAL"

Long Lines at retail stores. Forget it if you want to get
inside .
Just what the HELL you call the "new normal"? Well ist not NORMAL when your trying to get into a store like Target and you have to get stand in long line that goes for miles , because of the social distancing most stores are only letting a few people at a time . For the last two days of observation at Target I saw people getting in a line that seems to grow , and the store emplyoees taking orders . As more parts of the country reopen businesses, many retail workers have reluctantly turned into de facto enforcers of public health guidelines, confronting customers who refuse to wear masks or to maintain a wide distance from others. The risk of a violent reaction now hangs over jobs already fraught with health perils.At Target you will also notice staff wearing gloves and masks over the next two weeks as the company steps up its coronavirus protection measures.  Masks have been recommended by public health officials as a key way to diminish the spread of the coronavirus, with at least a dozen states requiring them and many others issuing a hodgepodge of county or municipal orders. They have also turned into a flash point in the country’s culture wars, with some defending their right to not wear one   Many people are choosing to stay home and order groceries online, but that's not an option for everyone as long lines at some Target's prove.Stores will now allow no more than five customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time, roughly 20 percent of a store's capacity. It's slowing down the economy at best , not the virus? BUT  doesn't management help out with long lines?NO!


Bailing out Wall Street Again.
 So we've been talking about this pandemic what the financial ramifications are going to be in a stimulus bill that gives crumbs to the citizens of the United States but a four point two five trillion dollar bailout to big companies on Wall Street isn't gonna make it any better it's gonna make it worse it's actually gonna be the biggest theft worse than that then what happened ten years ago from the housing crisis under Obama this is gonna be worse and you know who's saying it the head of Blackrock a wave of bankruptcies surging taxes and Americans harboring lasting scars from coronavirus lockdowns the head of the world's largest asset manager warns of a grim outlook this is actually in market watch and was reposted in Yahoo Finance this came out May ninth this is pretty nuts the CEO of   one of the world's largest asset managers cautions that everyone should brace for even rougher days ahead now we're three weeks away from another month of people paying rent who large portions of them can't because they're not working and I know some people are getting unemployment and that's great I haven't I mean even if you got you twelve hundred dollars what's that supposed to do this guy might know a thing or two about this I mean he's one of the corrupt problems in this country but black rocks chief executive Larry Fink interesting last name forecast a dour near-term outlook for the economy as states and businesses grapple with reopening from kovat nineteen this is the thing I've talked about a lot if you watch my mmt playlist what is so the federal government can just issue currency and and finance whatever they want local governments are dependent upon tax revenue and some money and if they get any money from the federal government so like take a state like California where I live while tourism is shut down all these companies are shut down nobody so the state of California makes its money on income tax and sales tax and property tax mainly but mainly income and sales tax so if nobody's working income tax goes down if nobody's buying anything it is already is it a fifty three billion dollar shortfall the state of California and the state of California very wisely several years ago under Jerry Brown set aside an extra little tax thing to fund a rainy day fund for the state of California we have twenty five billion dollars in an emergency fund for this  very type of thing that's great but even that is not enough - it still only takes care of half of the shortfall so what's gonna happen and then when people okay sure you can't get evicted or foreclosed upon but some companies and pork and landlords are not giving a about that and even if you go back to work after not working for 3-4 months you still have three or four months of back rent or mortgage and how much debt did everyone is everyone having to wrack up if they're not working think speaking privately with clients of a wealth advisory firm yeah privately and they found out about it outlined an unattractive future in which the economy continues to weaken bankruptcies soar and Americans consumers taxes on corporations and individuals would eventually need to be raised to finance the trillions of dollars in economic aid that has been doled out by the government in the federal reserve butjust keep the seven wars going you know just keep spending seven what is it seven hundred and sixty three eight hundred billion dollars a year on war just keep doing that keep giving the bank's imagine if that 4.25 trillion dollars didn't go to banks and big  corporations but it went to the States and to individuals what if the federal government went to California and in all 50 states cuz all states are gonna have some typeof shortfall California's probably gonna be bigger because California has 45 million residents and it has an as the 5th largest economy in the world but any state Delaware Omaha you know Nebraska whatever it doesn't matter every state's gonna have a shortfall that's what the federal government should have done gone hey states here's money for unemployment - your services - all this stuff what are cities and states gonna do oh we can't afford to pay overtime for the police department or whatever already talking about they're having a city meeting about cutting services this is a city with a decent amount of money but one of its big revenue streams istourism it has all these nice hotels on the beach they're empty man they're this big nice outdoor mall and downtown the Third Street Promenade it's empty some of the stores are finally opening it's empty man 2 months we've had the whole economy shut down the outbreak leading to the biggest drop in gross  domestic product in the first quarter since 2008 indeed the first reading of GDP for the first three months of 2020 20 point 2 million jobs were lost in April according to payrolls processor ADP Inc down 0.9% more than 30 million people have applied for jobless benefits in the past six weeks that's 10 almost 10% of the total population is about 330 million people living in America but a lot of those people are not more thereunder children they're under 18 or they're retired they're senior citizens so that's the workforce is probably I don't know what somewhere between 150 and 200 million people let's say it's 200 million people. Democrats and Republicans that  Levi Strauss and you know Stanley Black & Decker laying off all these employees and then giving millions and tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in stock buybacks to their the big shareholders we have a broken system and it's gonna screw us all over you think what happened in 2010 is six million foreclosures that's nothing that's romper room compared to what's gonna happen now they're gonna scoop up homes they're gonna scoop up small businesses people are are if they get Cova 19 and go to the hospital for 2-3 weeks that's the other thing it's gonna start happening people went to the hospital they survived it they're better they're doing better and they had insurance they're gonna get a 10 a 20 a 30 thousand dollar medical bill in the next couple of months and then what they weren't working for three months they haven't paid their rent in two three months now they got twenty thousand dollars in medical bills with it having insurance what's gonna happen another bailout for Wall Street when does Americans gonna wake up something is wrong with the economic system of our nation  and something is wrong with capitalism maybe Americans should move toward a democratic socialism like system , but that would be too much . Now we must develop programs that will drive the nation to the realization of the needs of the people first.


DEMOCRATS, ON THE OTHER HAND, 
THEY PREFER US TO COWER AND CROUCH IN OUTHOUSES. THEY ARE PUSHING -- PANIC PORN. THEY SAY WE NEED MULTIPLE VACCINES, NOT JUST ONE, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE THEM COME WE DON’T HOW EFFECTIVE THEY WILL BE. THEY SAY WE NEED AS MANY AS 300,000 GOVERNMENT PAID TRACERS AND HACKERS, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TESTS, ALL OF THAT BEFORE WE CAN OPEN AGAIN. AND A PURPLE UNICORN ON EVERY CORNER ........#IngrahamAngle

NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>Lockdowns have hurt a number of States in America . Many states expect their revenue to plunge by 15 percent to 20 percent because government-ordered lockdowns have wiped out much of the economy and caused tax collections to evaporate. That puts statehouses billions of dollars in the red for the fiscal year that usually begins in July, with no end to the crisis in sight. The nation’s governors have petitioned Congress for $500 billion in direct funding to help address lost revenue. Without this aid, the states — which, unlike the federal government, cannot run budget deficits — will have to start slashing costs(2)>>In California the Democrats blew the hole in the budget.  Just prior to the 2020 "pandemic" there were signs that California's budget was not as rosey as it was claimed . Spending had risen . In investigating the January  $214.8 billion spending plan, the state inched closer to universal health coverage, expanding Medi-Cal to all low-income young adults regardless of immigration status. State lawmakers also charted a course to increase tax credits to the working poor and boost subsidies to middle-income Californians to buy health coverage. There were significant investments in early education and housing, also, while a portion of the surplus was diverted to pay down pension liabilities.[infoembed size=”half” override=”” align=”right” padding=”light”]  The state may have hiding a huge fiscal bomb waiting to explode .
