The problem with Andrew Cuomo is that he got too big for his britches.

He was, according to the media, America’s Governor and the de facto president during COVID during the Trump administration.

But BidenHarris is President now, and Cuomo can’t be allowed to steal their thunder.

It’s time to take out Cuomo, and take them out they will, by exposing everything we knew to be true.  He completely fucked up New York’s COVID response.

From The New York Times:

9 Top N.Y. Health Officials Have Quit as Cuomo Scorns Expertise
“When I say ‘experts’ in air quotes, it sounds like I’m saying I don’t really trust the experts,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said of pandemic policies. “Because I don’t.”

The deputy commissioner for public health at the New York State Health Department resigned in late summer. Soon after, the director of its bureau of communicable disease control also stepped down. So did the medical director for epidemiology. Last month, the state epidemiologist said she, too, would be leaving.

The drumbeat of high-level departures in the middle of the pandemic came as morale plunged in the Health Department and senior health officials expressed alarm to one another over being sidelined and treated disrespectfully, according to five people with direct experience inside the department.

Their concern had an almost singular focus: Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.

In recent weeks, the governor has repeatedly made it clear that he believed he had no choice but to seize more control over pandemic policy from state and local public health officials, who he said had no understanding of how to conduct a real-world, large-scale operation like vaccinations. After early problems, in which relatively few doses were being administered, the pace of vaccinations has picked up and New York is now roughly 20th in the nation in percentage of residents who have received at least one vaccine dose.

In Albany, tensions worsened in recent months as state health officials said they often found out about major changes in pandemic policy only after Mr. Cuomo announced them at news conferences — and then asked them to match their health guidance to the announcements.

There is way more in the article than I can share here, I highly recommend that you read the whole thing.

Pretty much Cuomo made unilateral decisions that went against everything this experts said, then when they spoke up he bullied them until they quit.

New York has had more deaths than any state, a terrible vaccination rollout,  Cuomo is personally responsible for that, but has time to write a book about how great he was.

This should come as no surprise to those of us who paid attention to the situation, but the fact that the NYT is exposing this is new.

Also, Jake Tapper of CNN putting this out after CNN’s Chris Cuomo covered for his older brother for weeks.

Wildly irresponsible thing to say during a pandemic.

They covered Cuomo’s ass for almost a year.  There is no reason to stop now and expose a big wig in The Party of Science® of being worse than Trump in trusting experts.

Unless…

There is a reason to take Cuomo out.

This is true third world, banana republic, mad despot type stuff.  Nobody is safe in either party at any time if they are a threat to BidenHarris.

At least in behavior.

I believe I have not been to Miami beach in possibly 15 years. Back then was still the mecca for the Gay community of the East Coast and it was represented as very nice, clean and shinny if you were willing to overlook certain side streets and not entering a lot of night clubs.

As with everything, that Miami Beach reached its expiration date (specially after the statistics showed 2/3s of the males in MB were positive for HIV) so they started to target other groups to come over and they were not choosy about character. S, with the blessing of the city’s government, Miami Beach became a party haven for the Gangsta-wannabe culture with the predictable consequences.

Will you bring your family to vacation in Miami Beach’s fable Ocean Drive?

But hey, the locals are making money, including the hospitals.

Protesters confront police in Olympia, Wash. after they arrest the #antifa who sieged a Red Lion hotel. Police are making arrests. Video by @jasonrantz: pic.twitter.com/MYmsE2bKAa

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Several homeless activists were arrested in Olympia on Sunday after the group allegedly occupied a downtown hotel, assaulting at least one employee and prompting guests and staffers to shelter in place for several hours, authorities said.

Olympic Police Department Lt. Paul Lower told KOMO News that employees of the Red Lion Inn & Suites, located at 621 Capitol Way South, began calling for help at 11 a.m. after several people, one of whom was wielding a hatchet while others brandished batons and knives, entered the facility, saying they were taking the hotel over.

Attempted takeover of Olympia Red Lion hotel by homeless activists ends in arrests

I saw variations of this tweet protesting the police action:

People do not seem to understand that lodging is not renting or buying a property. You are paying for the privilege of spending time inside their property but you have no rights to it. You can get evicted at any time and your only resource is to ask for a refund (which more than likely monies will not be returned) or take the hotel to small claims court.

I worked at a hotel for 5 years and I probably did over 60 evictions in my time there. I do not know Washington State, but Florida makes no bones about Trespassing, specially in lodging locations. If you are evicted and trespassed form a hotel, you can call the cops but the only thing they will tell you is “You have 15 minutes to pack and leave peacefully or you will be arrested.” Cops will not resolve the issue nor seek and understanding between the parts, they just will escort you out nicely or having you wearing county-provided bracelets. Your choice.

And in related news, the Twitter activists defended the takeover because the “did it for the children!” and therefore they should have remained in the hotel.

We are old hands in the use of “Do It For The Children!” so I made my point known.

Apparently my reply did not go well because suddenly I am “restricted from viewing.” She did try to sic her puppies after me, but it has been a bust.

I am still fascinated that they believe kids used as shield will stop a determined government agency from exercising power. After Waco, all bets in that matter are off. At least have some dignity and do not hide behind diapers.

From the Washington Post:

Guns are white supremacy’s deadliest weapon. We must disarm hate.

The defining photograph of the attempted insurrection on Jan. 6 was that of a man strolling through the broken halls of our national Capitol, amid the smashed windows and assorted rubble of the failed coup, proudly brandishing a Confederate flag on his shoulder and hoping to overturn an election decided largely by Black voters. It’s an image that tells the story not only of Jan. 6 or of the Trump presidency, but also of all the steps that led to that moment — the whole history of hate in America captured in one frame.

Rubble?  There was rubble?

Also, failed coup?

Words don’t have meaning anymore.

I’ll grant that the optics of a man carrying a Confederate Flag through the Capitol were pretty bad, but these people were not there to simply take over our government by force and install themselves as our new leaders.  Our system doesn’t work like that.

For me, the echoes of that picture reverberated back nearly six years, to the day my mom — Ethel Lee Lance — was shot and killed while praying in Charleston’s Mother Emanuel Church along with eight other Black Americans, including two of my cousins and one of my close childhood friends.

The similarities between these two days don’t end there: Both days ended in deaths, both attacks were perpetrated (at least in part) by white supremacists chasing a lost cause, and tragically, the perpetrators of both incidents were carrying more than just flags. My mother’s killer was armed with a handgun; the Capitol insurrectionists were armed with enough live ammunition to shoot every member of the House and Senate five times.

But they didn’t.

As far as I am aware, the only shot fired was by law enforcement killing one of the people who entered the Capitol.

This deadly connection between white supremacy and guns runs throughout our history. In 1866, armed Confederate loyalists stormed the Louisiana Constitutional Convention, murdering 34 Black Americans in an attempt to block suffrage for freed slaves. In 1898, an armed White mob in Wilmington, N.C., proclaimed a “White Declaration of Independence,” then killed at least 60 residents before replacing the multiracial local government with white supremacists. In 1921, mobs of armed White residents of Tulsa attacked the Black neighborhood of Greenwood, murdering as many as 300 Tulsans for the crime of being Black and successful. In 1955, ­Emmett Till was tortured and shot in the head by White vigilantes. And today, mass shootings – from the church in Charleston to the supermarket in El Paso to the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. — have been committed by white supremacists filled with hate and armed with a gun.

And it was Democrats and White Supremacists who wrote and enforced the laws that disarmed blacks.

Don’t bullshit me.

You know where the thesis of this is going.

That action must come first and foremost from our leaders, beginning with the Biden-Harris administration, but in truth the responsibility to advocate for gun safety extends to all of us.

Everybody gets disarmed.

We’re all white supremacists now.  That’s the message the media has been pushing.  Did you support Trump?  You’re a white supremacist.

Nevermind that we have record minority gun ownership, those people must have multiracial white supremacy.  

We are headed into dark times for gun control.  They will push the narrative that gun rights is a white supremacist position and anyone who advocates for gun rights will be unpersoned accordingly.

I honestly can’t see any anit-gun bill meeting any sort of serious resistance in the legislature.

This is going to suck.

CDC pulled and ATF and is now mandating masks in all ways of public transportation including rideshares services.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Throughout the pandemic, Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis held steadfast about his position on mask wearing. In November, he extended his executive order that banned local governments from enforcing mask mandate violations.

Now, at least as far as public transportation goes, there is no more fine line about wearing a mask. Starting Monday at 11:59 p.m., if you are inside an airport, on a bus, train, ferry or ship, or taking a ride-share such as Uber, Lyft, or a taxi, it is a federal directive to wear a face covering.

CDC’s mask mandate starts Monday at 11:59 p.m.

I simply do not see the FBI’s HRT coming to arrest some cranky old Cuban in Calle Ocho because he refuses to wear the appropriate mask during the bus ride.

But what defines an appropriate mask? The good folks of the CDC are very helpful describing it but this particular point made me laugh:

Masks made from loosely woven fabric or that are knitted, i.e., fabrics that let light pass through

So what I did was fetch one of my flashlights and test the two facemask types I have (gaiter not included) and see if they survive the test. The double layered extra large thick black one designed for bearded guys seemed like a sure bet to pass the tests…and nope, I could see light coming through.

So next I went to the box of disposable masks, the mask being used by possibly 80% of the population and medical personnel and take a wild guess what happened? Yup, lumens upon lumens of light just shined through. Not only the CDC just declared the masks useless, but confirmed the idea that the darned things have always been a joke and nothing but a theatrical costume, something many people have been saying from Day One.

That can only mean something: Some factory in China is poised to make billions manufacturing the new masks capable of pass the new Federal mandate. Hey, something had to be done by POTUS* to apologize for the actions of Trump against China’s economic interests.

Sorry, Miguel.

On Friday, Miguel published a post:

She got the job because she fills a type of image and nothing else.

I can understand my Miguel came to his conclusion.

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter is aggressively ugly.  I use that phrase specifically.

Not just does she not make an attempt to look pretty, in that traditional sense.  She actually works to make herself unattractive in the traditional sense.  The Armpit hair, the horrendous tattoos, the scowl.

This is the Leftist aestitic.  Don’t make things beautiful, make things ugly then dare people to call it ugly so you can berate them for “racist, misogynistic, Eurocentric, cis-normative, hetero-normative, colonialist views on beauty.”

It’s now “empowerment” to be a human grotesquery and a model.

This is the essence of what Leftists did to art that made modern art so terrible.

This is what so much of the internet has been talking about.

It’s a distraction.

The comment I left in Miguel’s post was:

She got the job because she’s Kamala’s daughter.

Chelsea Clinton got a $600,000 job from NBC news to do nothing and a fat, undisclosed salary, from McKinsey & Co. to also do nothing.

You can’t bribe a politician. That’s illegal. You can however give a politician’s totally unqualified child a six or seven-figure sincure. That’s completely legal.

That is the essence of Biden, Inc.

I was right, I just didn’t know how right I was at the time.

I figured it was like Chelsea Clinton’s sincure, where the NBC job got NBC anchors priority access to the Whitehouse and information.

This is worse.  This is Hunter Biden, China, and the Ukraine level corruption.

From the article that Miguel cited:

Vice President Kamala Harris’ 21-year-old stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has signed a deal with one of the world’s most prestigious modeling agencies, IMG Models.

IMG Models is a subsidiary of IMG, formerly International Management Group.

IMG is owned by the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.

They bill themselves as “the global leader in technology investing.”

One of their current investments is Twitter.  As in the Twitter that Republicans are targeting for anti-trust violations and want to revoke their Section 203 protections.

Another is SolarWinds.  If that name sounds familiar, it is because SolarWinds is the IT security contractor that provides services to the US Government and major American corporations that was hacked and allowed foreign government and criminals to gather data for months.

Business Insider explains the issue succinctly.

SolarWinds, a major US information technology firm, was the subject of a cyberattack that spread to its clients and went undetected for months, Reuters first reported last week. Foreign hackers, who some top US officials believe are from Russia, were able to use the hack to spy on private companies like the elite cybersecurity firm FireEye and the upper echelons of the US Government, including the Department of Homeland Security and Treasury Department.

Earlier this year, hackers secretly broke into Texas-based SolarWind’s systems and added malicious code into the company’s software system. The system, called “Orion,” is widely used by companies to manage IT resources. Solarwinds has 33,000 customers that use Orion, according to SEC documents.

Beginning as early as March, SolarWinds unwittingly sent out software updates to its customers that included the hacked code.

The code created a backdoor to customer’s information technology systems, which hackers then used to install even more malware that helped them spy on companies and organizations.

IT Security company is hacked and doesn’t realize it for months.  That hack allows its customers to get hacked, including the US government.

This is an epic screwup, the enormity of it I can barely describe.

Because the DHS was a major customer that was hacked, this is something the federal government is going to have to investiage.

But…

The Vice President/Co-President of the United States of America has a step-daughter that just got a high-dollar/high-profile modeling contract with a company owned by the holding company that also has major holdings in SolarWinds and Twitter.

And remember, in this day and age, isn’t just about money, it’s about fame.  Fame is its own currency.  There is an additional incalculable value in being the famous face of a modeling agency that goes beyond money.  She can become an “influencer” and hobnob with other famous people and celebrities.  Her opinion will carry weight among the people who matter on the Left.

How hard do you think the BidenHarris DOJ will come down on Twitter and SolarWinds when Harris’ stepdaughter is has been elevated into the pantheon of the rich and famous by Twitter and SolarWinds’ investors/holders?

The controversy over the ugly chick with hairy armpits who looks like she exists on a diet of lattes and fentanyl is a distraction from the fact that a tech monopoly and a hacked IT security firm just bought themselves protection from the DOJ on the cheap.

…some lawmakers this year will continue to push to remove from Florida’s newspapers public notices, those often nondescript black-and-white boxes of text alerting residents what their local government is up to. They are prompts, or prods, for residents and others to get involved in the process, to attend a meeting of the zoning board, the city council, the school board. Attendance allows taxpayers to make their presence felt and their voices heard.

In Florida, the public’s on notice: Elected leaders don’t want you to know what they’re doing | Editorial

ZOMG! What evil stuff are the Legislators gonna do if they will not notify us!

Of course, that’s the last thing the more devious lawmakers in the Legislature want. They would rather shut residents out of the process, pulling the shades and turning out the lights on open government.

After all, the year of the pandemic also affirmed Florida’s brazen attempts to hide vital information from a public that is starving for it.

“Warning! There will be no information coming out of your government on what they are trying to do! Sunshine Law will die!” or at least this is what the Herald is pushing with this editorial.  But wait, after the screaming death intro, the editorial sort of touches on the issue:

Florida House Bill 35 is a repeat of last year’s legislation. It would no longer require local governments to purchase space in newspapers — and on their websites — to announce meetings, public hearings, impending votes, etc. Instead, those governments could post the information solely on their own websites.

So this is the real problem: losing mandated government subsidies to run your rag. As a taxpayer, I believe it should be a crime that my taxes go to fund a liberal political propaganda media outlet. In fact, I believe that is not quite Constitutional.

But here is the issue with the “editorial” , as I read the bill, what is does is to allow notices in government websites also and it gives permission/mandates to do so when there is no local newspaper in the county. There is no language in the bill that forbids publication in a newspaper, in fact, the old  language indicating publishing in a newspaper is still there….unfortunately.

I do love this stab at Republicans.

More that 1.2 million Florida residents do not have access to the internet, according to a report by Nielsen Scarborough in 2018. Many elderly and minority residents — whom Republicans shamelessly target when it comes to voting and other rights — can’t afford a computer and the fees they incur.

Only one little problem: The sponsor of the bill is indeed a Republican but it is co-sponsored by a Democrat.

And in a splash of pure irony, the Democrat co-sponsor is a representative from Miami-Dade County, home of the Miami Herald.

So basically I believe this is just an editorial trying to gather sympathy for a disappearing newspaper that once was important and now does not even have a physical presence nor seems to be wanted by its political masters anymore.

And as usual, trust nobody. Read the bill’s text.
