Very Interesting

This is fascinating data from the CDC. It seems the country was conducting over 2 million tests per day leading up to the presidential election and now that Dementia Joe is in the White House, they are only doing 1.3 million tests per day, a 35% reduction. Why would that be the case? Didn’t Basement Biden say they would be ramping up testing?

The day Sleepy Joe took office, the WHO announced that the PCR levels on testing should be reduced in order to capture less false positives. Shockingly, daily cases have plunged from 250,000 per day to 66,000 per day, a 70% decline since China Joe took office. It’s a freaking miracle and we owe it all to Emperor Gates, the Big Pharma jab, that troll Fauci, and of course lockdowns and masks. All hail our glorious leaders.

The First 30 Days of Biden’s Reign Are as Bad as We Feared

by Andrew W. Coy
American Thinker

We have now been through the first 30 days of this nightmarish Progressivetory (Progressive Purgatory). This, the first month that Biden has been placed in the White House by the Progressives (Deep State/Globalists/Socialists). Within this first month that the cabal has instituted its figurehead, we have seen our worst fears realized and our timid hopes destroyed. Here is what we now know and have learned in just one short month of what the Progressive Dystopians have done and are planning to do against America and her people.

* Biden has despotically enacted more executive orders in his first week of office than Trump, Obama, and W. Bush combined in their first weeks.

* The Biden administration has started to count COVID cases differently. Therefore, the number of COVID cases will be going down dramatically under the new administration.

The Insanity of the Covaids Cult… and Cryptos Skyrocketing as We Enter Into the Great Reset

by Jeff Berwick
Dollar Vigilante

In the medical profession they use the phrase “When you hear hooves, think horse, not zebra.” The principle is simple — the odds are the patient has a more common diagnosis than a rare, improbable one.

But what if the stripey things are actually zebras? Or tigers?

It’s all connected. And if you don’t understand the game, you won’t be able to play the game. Watch as Lucy and I use our laser eyes and X-ray vision to unpack the Covaids Cult and its Agenda and why crypto is skyrocketing as we enter the Great Reset.

Cuomo Takes Gaslighting to Shocking Extremes

by David Marcus
NYPost.com

Somebody needs to tell Gov. Andrew Cuomo that when you are in a hole, it’s time to stop digging. Once again at his Emmy Award-winning press conference on Friday, Cuomo deflected and denied when faced with his mishandling of nursing homes and state data. He continued to blame something he calls a “void” in information. Friday there was even a picture of the void in his PowerPoint presentation. It looked like a black hole in space, and Cuomo looked like a shaken shell of a governor.

It’s almost sad how the mighty have fallen. The only void at work here is one of competent leadership. Cuomo refuses to answer straightforward questions about his own attorney general’s report showing he undercounted deaths. He also refuses to address an admission by his staff that the numbers were hidden on purpose. Cuomo may be living in a sci-fi fantasyland where he did nothing wrong and the Trump administration was out to get him, but increasingly other Democrats aren’t buying it.

Tesla Bitcoin Gambit Already Made $1 Billion, More Than 2020 Profit from Car Sales, Estimates Analyst

‘While the Bitcoin investment is a side show for Tesla, [it is] clearly been a good initial investment and a trend we expect could have a ripple impact for other public companies over the next 12 to 18 months,’ says Ives

by Mark DeCambre
Market Watch

Much has been made about the hefty sum that Tesla Inc. has invested in bitcoin, a speculative asset that has only been around since 2009.

However, early estimates from prominent technology analyst Dan Ives sees the investment by the electric-vehicle maker, headed by outspoken Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, already minting a digital paper profit of at least $1 billion, as the price of the asset soars to records.

“Based on our calculations, we estimate that Tesla so far has made roughly $1 billion of profit over the last month…To put this in perspective, Tesla is on a trajectory to make more from its Bitcoin investments than profits from selling its [electric vehicle] cars in all of 2020,” wrote Wedbush’s prolific analyst Dan Ives, in a note published on Saturday afternoon.

If You Believe Life Will “Return to Normal”, You Have a Fundamental Misunderstanding of the Times in Which We Live

by Michael Snyder
End of the American Dream

Despite all of the craziness that is going on out there, many pundits are trying to convince us that life will soon “return to normal” and that great days are just around the corner. They are telling us this despite the fact that the state of Texas has been in a state of collapse this week, the real economy continues to implode, the unemployment numbers are going up, civil unrest continues to rage in our streets on a nightly basis, and our entire planet continues to become even more unstable. Those that believe that happy days are here again have a fundamental misunderstanding of the times in which we live. This isn’t a period of time when America is going to “build back better”. Rather, this is a time when America is going to go even deeper into “the perfect storm”.

One of the reasons why so many on the left are feeling optimistic right now is because the COVID pandemic appears to be subsiding…

Pence Declines CPAC Invitation Where Trump Will Speak

by Penka Arsova
LaCorte News

Former Vice President Pence will not speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, next week.

The story: Pence was invited to attend the event, which is scheduled for next week, but he turned it down, according to multiple media reports who cited unanimous sources familiar with the matter. Politico’s White House reporter Gabby Orr first reported that the former vice president declined the invitation.

One source told CNN that organizers will try to persuade Pence to show up at the event. Another said the former vice president plans to avoid the public eye for at least half a year.

Meanwhile, former President Trump accepted the invitation and plans to speak at the conference, which will take place Feb. 25-28. The former president is expected to speak on Sunday, the last day of the event.

Will the Truth Really Set You Free?

by Brian Maher
Daily Reckoning

“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” — John 8:32 informs us.

No, said Thomas Huxley. John was far from the facts.

“You shall know the truth,” countered Huxley… “and the truth shall make you mad.”

“Mad” is angry by one definition. By another it is lunatic. Both definitions may pertain today.

You shall know the truth about America’s finances… and it shall make you mad.

One-fifth of all United States dollars ever issued have entered existence within the past year.

Covid Cases, like Political Careers, are Dropping Like Rocks

by Jeffrey A. Tucker
The American Institute for Economic Research

New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who bears so much responsibility for the mess in his windswept state, last year wrote a book celebrating his role in managing the Covid crises. Now he is facing several investigations and unrelenting media criticism for his management of nursing homes. Not only did he force infected patients back into homes, resulting in many thousands of deaths; he is alleged to have worked to cover up his role and doctor the numbers to make the grim toll look less bad.

And he is not the only lockdown government facing serious problems. Governor Gavin Newsom of California is sinking in popularity and facing a serious effort to recall him – the state’s equivalent of an impeachment. It’s quite the fall from grace for a man who prided himself on his courage in locking his citizens in their homes. Meanwhile, the lockdown state’s Covid numbers look worse than Florida’s, a state with similar weather and demographics that has been fully and beautifully open since September.

Jen Psaki Dodges Question from ABC’s Jon Karl About Whether Cuomo Represents ‘Gold Standard for Leadership’

by Scott Morefield
DailyCaller.com

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question Sunday morning from ABC’s Jon Karl about whether Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo still represents “the gold standard for leadership during the pandemic.”

Cuomo has come under increasing scrutiny of late for implementing a policy early on in the pandemic that forced nursing homes to accept patients who were positive for COVID-19 and for his administration’s handling of data regarding nursing home deaths.

During a Sunday morning interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Karl played a clip of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden last spring calling Cuomo’s leadership “sort of the gold standard.”

Joe Biden’s DHS Protects Most Illegal Aliens with ‘Sanctuary Country’ Orders

by John Binder
Breitbart.com

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued orders to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents that protect most illegal aliens from arrest and deportation.

New guidance from acting ICE Director Tae Johnson instructs agents not to pursue illegal aliens for arrest and deportation until they have been convicted of aggravated felonies against Americans — crimes such as rape, murder, child pornography, sexual abuse of a minor, trafficking firearms, and theft.

The orders require ICE agents prioritize convicted illegal alien aggravated felons, a fraction of the United States’ illegal alien population which totals anywhere between 11 to 22 million today. The orders ensure that in cases where an illegal alien is charged with murder, rape, or child sexual abuse, they are not prioritized for arrest and deportation.

The Tax Man Cometh for Your Unemployment Benefits

Here’s the thing, though: the federally funded weekly payments ($600 last year, $300 this) — like state UI benefits — are taxable by the IRS at a minimum.

by Dave Allen
The International Forecaster

WARNING: THE TAX MAN COMETH…even if you’re collecting unemployment benefits.

If Covid has cost you or a loved one a job, you’re one of 10.7 million people, or 6.7% of the American workforce, who were unemployed in December.

And if you received unemployment benefits (there were an estimated 74 million initial jobless claims filed from March through December 2020) — you owe federal and probably state income taxes on what you got.

Many states cap their highest unemployment insurance (UI) paymouts at half the state’s average weekly wage, while others have lower caps.

Last February, average weekly UI benefits were $387 nationwide but ranged from a low of $215 in Mississippi to $550 in Massachusetts, according to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Doug Casey on Robinhood, Hedge Funds, and Class Warfare

by Doug Casey
International Man

International Man: We seem to be entering a new paradigm in the financial markets. Social media has allowed a large number of small investors to band together and move markets in ways that were previously inconceivable.

What are your thoughts on this and what lies ahead?

Doug Casey: To start with, most of the people on Robinhood are ultra-unsophisticated—mostly unemployed kids living in their mothers’ basements. A lot of the money that the government sent them—the COVID checks—went into the market.

Of course, Robinhood itself is somewhat problematic with its commission-free trading and no minimum trade size. How can a company make money if it doesn’t charge its customers anything? It does so by having cozy arrangements with hedge funds. In essence, you get what you pay for, and if you don’t pay anything, you can expect to be treated like you’re a product, not a customer. I don’t have any problem per se with Robinhood’s business model, but Robinhood’s real customers are probably the hedge funds, not the public.

Big Tech Censors, 2020 Election Still Stolen, Economy Fragile

Greg Hunter’s Weekly News Wrap-Up for Friday, February 19th, 2021

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

YouTube is censoring people like never before. USAWatchdog.com was the latest causality in Big Tech’s quest to silence any narrative it does not want. USAW was abruptly taken off YouTube last week for good without reason other than Community Guidelines were broken for the third time. The channel had more than 260,000 subscribers and more than 90 million video views. The three main narratives you cannot talk about or even question are the massive election fraud that stole a landslide win from President Trump, Covid lies and vaccine questions, and any challenge to the official Climate Change narrative. USAWatchdog.com has questioned them all and will continue to do so with or without YouTube.

President Trump went on NewsMax to talk about the passing of radio legend Rush Limbaugh. He will be greatly missed. The President also talked about the election fraud and the “tabulations” of the 2020 Election. Trump did not back down an inch that the election was stolen. Trump also said, “What happened was a disgrace,” and “This is what you find in third world countries.” Trump would not answer when asked if he was going to run again in 2024 now that he was acquitted on the Democrats’ second impeachment attempt in four years.
