THE BIG PICTURE

CDC says it has no plans to ease Covid isolation yet, despite urging from doctors – “Public health is “more than controlling one virus,” one expert said, as federal health officials consider their next steps in the pandemic. Following reports that the CDC was considering easing Covid isolation restrictions — including guidelines that people can leave their homes after being fever-free for 24 hours — the agency refused to confirm that such plans were in the works. The potential change was first reported by The Washington Post. The CDC currently recommends masking for 10 days following a Covid diagnosis. ” – Erika Edwards and Berkeley Lovelace Jr.  – SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR NEWS SOURCES BESIDES WAPO SAID THEY WERE CHANGING RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL. THE CDC JUST WON’T ADMIT IT AND DO IT YET, BECAUSE ALL THAT WILL DO IS PROVE THAT THEY WERE WRONG ALL ALONG!!!!

Our Crazy Cousins North Of The Border – “If there ever were a sign that Canada has gone cuckoo, it has to be a bill introduced in Parliament that would censor speech about fossil fuel. No, we’re not joking, though we hope the bill’s author is. We fear, however, he isn’t. If we read the Canadian version of English correctly, merely pointing out the indisputable fact that civilization would break down without fossil fuels would be a lawbreaking offense. So would arguing that vehicles with internal combustion engines are better for the environment than trendy electric vehicles, or pointing out that natural gas is a cheaper, more reliable source of energy than wind and solar. To be fair, U.S. politics are not immune to madness. ” – I & I Editorial Board

Trump’s Covid Response Casts a Long Shadow – “Donald Trump has a Covid problem. No matter how he wishes it never happened, the pointless (health-wise) and tyrannically devastating pandemic response he launched in March, 2020 is on him. He is responsible for that decision. Sometime between March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 – most likely about March 10 – Trump went from being relatively rational in his response to agreeing to monumental societal disruption. Trump changed his mind. Or had it changed for him.” – Thomas Buckley

Russia warns the West: we will be very tough if you ‘steal’ our assets – “”Considering that our country has qualified this as theft, the attitude will be towards thieves,” Zakharova said. “Not as political manipulators, not as overplayed technologists, but as thieves.” Russia has said that if its property is seized then it will seize U.S., European and other assets in responses.” – Reuters

An AI BIDEN For Election 2024 – “The $1.598 question – who is running for the democrat party for President 2024? Social media is a frenzy as everyone has an opinion as to who will be running; Newsom, Big Mike, Kamala, . Surely, it can’t possibly be Biden given he is an automaton drugged dementia zombie. Or can it? During the Super Bowl Biden aired a recorded advertisement on behalf of the White House challenging all snack makers to fill the bags more. In the ad, Biden spoke clearly – unlike his recent presentations. Was this a test to see if the world would buy into an AI Biden? The Economist, and Politico assure us Biden will be the only candidate and he will trounce Trump. Of course, AI deep fakes can never actually do a meet & greet – but the riddled Biden can’t much either which was laid out rather squarely in his latest gafferomics. Surely the ad could have been spliced. It could have been Biden’s body double. Biden could have had radical cosmetic surgery the day before the ad to remove all the wrinkles around his eyes, forehead and neck. He could be wearing different dentures. Or it could be AI.’ – Helena Glass

President Biden Discusses Shrinkflation (VIDEO) – The White House  – HERE’S THE AD ON YOU TUBE IN CASE YOU MISSED THE IDIOT-IN-CHIEF. NOTICE THE COMMENTS ARE TURNED OFF. WONDER WHY!!!!

Joe Biden Parody Songs – “Did you know there was a whole genre out there of Joe Biden parody tunes? Most are quite professional, and riff off popular songs to mock the president. Some focus on Joe himself, falling here, sniffing a little girl’s hair there, while others prey on poor Hunter Biden, forced to make sleazy deals with Ukraine and China just to earn a living. Let’s take a look.” – Peter Van Buren

The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer – “The problem is not so much that taxpayers are unaware of how their hard-earned dollars are being spent. Rather, “we the people” continue to be told that we have no say in the matter. We have no real say in how the government runs, or how our taxpayer funds are used, but that doesn’t prevent the government from fleecing us at every turn and forcing us to pay for endless wars that do more to fund the military industrial complex than protect us, pork barrel projects that produce little to nothing, and a police state that serves only to imprison us within its walls. This financial tyranny persists whether it’s a Democrat or Republican at the helm.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Tucker and Shirer – “Great heaves of outrage have been directed at former Fox commentator Tucker Carlson – who got fired from Fox for telling the truth about the drugs that were never vaccines on account of his having had the temerity to interview the leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Because interviewing someone constitutes endorsing him, according to the logic of the Leftists (and some Rightists). A journalist, in other words, had better not be neutral and objective. He must be an ideologue. Today, everyone knows what Rachel Maddow, et al are going to say. The people who still listen are not looking for information; they are wanting affirmation – of their ideology. It is like a pond full of ducks. When one begins to quack, the others tend to follow suit. None know what they are quacking about – or why. They just like to hear the sound of their quacking. So, Tucker annoyed the ducks – by not quacking in sync.” – Eric Peters

Elites vs. deplorables: The US is now a two-tier nation – “A recent report shows just how deep the split between wealthy university graduates and the rest is. From their views on climate change to their views on education, the detached top one percent of the US populace has voiced a range of opinions so dramatically different from the status quo that it could sink the country. At a time when there is anxious talk of people being forced to eat bugs, embrace illegal immigrants, inhabit 15-minute cities and own absolutely nothing – all the while ‘being happy,’ or else! – there is no better time to examine the mindset of the people who throw their hefty weight behind such bold initiatives, namely, the elite.” – Robert Bridge

The Stronger the Government, the Weaker the Nation – Jacob G. Hornberger

Early American literacy vs. today’s woke ‘education’ – “In recent decades, the quality of American education has plummeted. When you scan the headlines related to education, you realize how far we have fallen:” – Jerry Newcombe  – ALL BY DESIGN. GOOD ARTICLE!!!!

ABC/CBS/NBC Censor Tony Bobulinski Raining Bombshells on Biden Inc. – “On Tuesday, Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski dropped a bombshell testimony that exposed President Joe Biden as the main figure behind all the Biden family scandals. In closed door Congressional testimony Bobulinski revealed that President Joe Biden was “the Brand” being pitched in the family’s dealings with companies in China and Ukraine. Bobulinski asserted “The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period.” So how much time did the Big 3 (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks devote to the Bobulinski revelations on their Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning shows? 0 seconds.” – Geoffrey Dickens

The One Border Question Dems Can’t Answer – “Most importantly, the centerpiece of the bill was a provision that ordered the president to shut down the border if illegal entries exceeded 5,000 a day on average for seven days. If the border can be shut down when more than 5,000 illegal immigrants cross per day, then why can’t it be shut down immediately, right now? The answer is obvious – because Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t want to shut down the border.” – Frank Miele

Inflation Soared, Stocks Plummeted – “And the financial media missed the important stuff as usual. First, the headline inflation number graphed out like this: The end of that line clearly looks like the Fed’s battle against inflation has stalled out. It looks like things are subtly trending back upward as they bounce along a new floor. But that’s just the good number—the one that most people pay attention to and the one that put in the best show. The numbers the Fed pays most attention to look worse” – David Haggith

Five Wall Street Banks Hold $223 Trillion in Derivatives — 83 Percent of All Derivatives at 4,600 Banks – “According to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC), derivatives played a major role in the financial crash of 2007 to 2010 in the United States, the worst financial crisis in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Americans believed that the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation of 2010 would fulfill its promise of reining in concentrated risks like derivatives. It did not. Those financial institutions were: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs Group, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup.” – Pam Martens and Russ Martens
