Everything we suspected about Cuomo is true and now that he’s no longer useful the long knives are out for him

Feb 1, 2021 J. Kb 12 comments

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.

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.

Miami Beach recreating the years of the Cocaine Cowboys

Feb 1, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment

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.

Another Antifa Hotel Takeover in Washington State.

Feb 1, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 7 comments

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.

White Supremacy is the new buzzword to take way all of our rights

Feb 1, 2021 J. Kb 9 comments

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.
