Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/15/2022 5:15:25 PM
Newly-minted Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin started his first day in office with a bang that could reverberate across the nation as a signal to other governors on the fence between the people and the donor class. Signing a slate of executive orders, Youngkin fulfilled some of the biggest promises he made to voters during his groundbreaking gubernatorial run. The orders include: Ending the use of Critical Race Theory in public education Investigating “wrongdoing” in Loudon County Opening the economy for all business Withdrawing from previous “green energy”

Shortly after being inaugurated, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and his administration set the left’s hair on fire. It was glorious to watch. Virginia is not just full of government employees working in the Biden administration. It is also full of corporate media hacks who cover the beltway. One of the first few actions Youngkin took was appointing an adviser on the pandemic. He chose Dr. Marty Makary, surgery and public health professor at Johns Hopkins University. The Washington Post was not pleased.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin has named a respected physician who opposes blanket vaccine mandates and downplayed the threat of the coronavirus to children as his lead adviser on pandemic response.
President Joe Biden said Sunday the British national who held four people hostage inside a Colleyville synagogue was armed with a gun apparently “purchased on the street.” The president said the hostage-taker spent his first night in Texas at a homeless shelter, and speculated that he might have gotten a gun there.
Also on Sunday, Greater Manchester police in England said they detained two teenagers in connection with the gunman who took four people hostage for more than 11 hours over the weekend in Colleyville. The two teens were the suspect’s sons who were in touch with him at some point Saturday, MSNBC reported.
The good news is that all of the hostages, including the rabbi of Congregation Beth-Israel, are alive and safe. The bad news is that a deranged British national entered the synagogue during Shabbat services and held the men hostage while demanding the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, known as Lady al-Qaeda. Today Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker released a statement of gratitude for being alive in a Facebook post.
I am thankful and filled with appreciation for
All of the vigils and prayers and love and support,
All of the law enforcement and first responders who cared for us,
All of the security training that helped save us.
I am grateful for my family.
At this point, it’s clear there’s a difference between hospitalization with COVID-19 and for COVID-19. Now take the next logical step; there is also a difference between dying with COVID and dying from COVID. How many people listed as dying of COVID were receiving treatment for another illness and only tested positive? Apparently, that is a conversation the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) does not want to have.
In an astonishing move, HHS notified hospitals they are no longer required to report COVID deaths beginning Feb. 2, 2022. Currently, the only required reporting of COVID deaths is the count from the previous day.
New York Times reporters Reid Epstein and Nick Corasaniti consoled the Democratic Party and lamented its electoral prospects in 2022 in Sunday’s lead story, “With Voting Rights Bill Dead, Democrats Face Costly Fight to Overcome GOP Curbs.”
Evidently, moves by Republicans in various states to roll back pandemic-inspired loosening of the vote, such as ballot harvesting and vote drop boxes, are prima facie examples of “voter suppression” (a phrase used twice in quoted material here) that will doom the Democrats – as if an objective press would pick a side. And now the party will have to actually have to (gasp!) spend money to convince people to vote for them.
Rebecca covered this story last night. A madman held people hostage at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. For 12 hours, a gunman held four people including a rabbi hostage for over 10 hours at Congregation Beth Israel. It was a happy ending. The gunman is dead, and all the hostages were released unharmed (via NBC News):
All hostages have been released safely from a synagogue in the Dallas-Fort Worth area following a more than 10-hour standoff, and the man responsible is dead, according to local and federal law enforcement officials.
A group of four people, including the rabbi, were taken hostage at about 10:41 a.m.
Dallas – The FBI Dallas Field Office confirmed the identity of the confirmed. the identity of the man who took four people hostage at a Colleyville synagogue for 10 hours before an FBI SWAT team stormed the building, ending a tense standoff.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Matthew DeSarno identified the 44-year-old British national as Malik Faisal Akram.
Akram was shot and killed after the last of the hostages got out at around 9 p.m. Saturday at Congregation Beth Israel.
In a statement, the FBI said there was no indication that anyone else was involved, but it didn’t provide a possible motive.
Colleyville, Texas — A nearly 12-hour hostage situation came to its end in dramatic fashion on Saturday night with hostages escaping the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, just as FBI agents breached the building.
Exclusive video from WFAA photographer Josh Stephen shows three hostages bursting out of one of the synagogue's doors as FBI agents surround the building.
In the footage, shot just before 9:15 p.m., a man holding a gun can be seen following the hostages as they exit the building
Manchin, Sinema turn on Biden, join others

Do better. That is the message from some Senate Democrats to Joe Biden’s White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients. In a letter signed by the senators, they urged him to do better in their COVID response plan, present that plan to Congress and request additional funds if needed to contain the pandemic.
Two of the senators are Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Do you think maybe Biden’s heavy-handed approach to twisting their arms over blowing up the filibuster rules in order to get voting legislation passed that gives federal control over all elections may have something to do with their participation? Who could blame them

Three remaining hostages at a Texas synagogue were "out alive and safe," ending an ordeal that began hours earlier, according to a Twitter message late Saturday from Gov. Greg Abbott.
"Prayers answered," Abbott wrote. "All hostages are out alive and safe." Not long before the governor's message, a loud bang and the sound of gunfire were heard at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth, as authorities worked to free tahr hostages, The Associated Press reported.
"The subject is deceased," Colleyville police Chief Michael Miller said at a news conference around 11:20 p.m. ET.
More than 200 law enforcement officers had worked on the case Saturday, authorities added.

Investigating “wrongdoing” in Loudon County
Opening the economy for all business
Withdrawing from previous “green energy”
Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced new orders aimed at businesses as the number of cases and hospitalizations from COVID-19 rise in central Texas. The governor’s office responded by reminding them that his executive order on mitigation mandates overrule their local orders.
Mayor Adler signed the new orders requiring businesses to post COVID-19 signage. The orders are called “protecting customers and employees and preserving adequate workforce capacity orders.” All businesses are required to post generic mask and vaccine signage when Austin-Travis County is in Stages 3, 4, and 5. Austin is in Stage 5 now.

It’s official: Democrats are the biggest drama queens on earth.
In 2022, Democrats will be faced with a very difficult problem. They have no issues and no accomplishments on which they can run successfully. By next November, the economy will be a political dry hole for Democrats as it’s very unlikely that inflation will ease, and chances are getting better for the double-whammy of inflation and a slowing economy.
Domestically, their agenda is stalled and doesn’t appear to have much chance of getting through the Senate. All the goodies they want to give away — very popular because voters believe the goodies are “free” —
Kamala Harris is now officially a joke
27 replies
There is no way to recover national political standing once a politician becomes a popular butt of humor, a punchline in a degrading joke. Ask Dan Quayle, who has disappeared from the scene so completely that nobody has even gotten him on the record about the vice presidency of Kamala Harris. My guess is that he is enjoying bitter laughter.
Last Thursday’s interview with Craig Melvin of Democrat-friendly NBC sealed her fate. The Zen koan-like statement, "It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day," closes the case, a brilliantly meaningless platitude that seems to demand meditation,
You Have Been Warned: Hillary is Back
26 replies
Standing in front of livestock at the 2016 Iowa State Fair, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton chortled, “I’m back!” But she was dead serious.
Now, despite Joe Biden’s unlikely intentions to run for a second term, Hillary is back again – as if ambition would ever let her leave.
Five years younger than Biden, Hillary has no intention of being an old soldier who just fades away. Ever since her college years at Wellesley, she has harbored political ambitions. And when her husband landed in the White House, her dream of becoming the first female president of the United States took serious hold.
New Year Brings a More Liberated Joe Biden

When President Biden pounded his hand on a podium this week and declared “I'm tired of being quiet!” when he talked about changing Senate rules to pass voters rights legislation, Democrats immediately noticed a shift. In five words, Biden — known for working across the aisle and his relationships with Republicans —was telegraphing that the new year was ushering in a more forceful and liberated version of himself. “It’s about damn time,” said one top Democratic strategist. “It’s like they kept him on a leash for far too long. No one elected restrained Joe Biden. We elected real Joe Biden.”
Nearly two years after former President Donald Trump tossed politics into the nation’s battle against the coronavirus, the partisan divide appears to have grown, with Republicans fighting mandates and Democrats calling for harsh punishments for those who refuse to get vaccinated.
In an expanded survey of the public’s view of mandates and punishments to get people vaccinated, Rasmussen Reports found that Democrats even support fines, home confinement, and prison for those who fight the government on masks and shots. (Snip)
Consider: Twenty-nine percent of Democrats would go so far as to support taking children away from parents who refused to be vaccinated.
On Saturday afternoon, a man claiming to be the brother of the Pakistani terrorist Aafia Siddiqui (aka “Lady al Qaeda”) stormed a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and took four people hostage. (snip) the Biden administration once again showed itself to be completely tone-deaf (snip) Psaki makes no mention of the synagogue at the heart of the crisis. She doesn’t mention Islam, terrorism, al Qaeda, or anti-Semitism. To her, it’s just a “developing hostage situation in the Dallas area.” Nor is there any hint of compassion or concern for the people trapped with an armed madman purportedly carrying a backpack filled with explosives.
Public school students from New York, New Jersey, Oakland, Chicago, and other cities across the country staged walkouts this past week to protest the COVID-19 policies of districts that kept schools open.
“Many of us are worried about not only our health, but our teacher’s health, our janitor’s health, even our administration’s health,” one student said during a classroom walkout in Chicago.
Students protesting in downtown Chicago were seen carrying signs that read, “Not another student to COVID,” “The youth are not disposable,” and “You also tested positive for profiting off-putting teachers & students in unsafe conditions.”
The jihadi who stormed the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages Saturday, demanding the release of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, is dead, and the hostages are safe. And now comes the real work: whitewashing, downplaying, and ignoring outright what took place, because it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno got the ball rolling when he said, “We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, uh, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, uh, but we’re continuing to work to find motive
The first picture of the British terrorist who was shot dead after taking four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue has been revealed as his family tonight condemned his actions and admitted they 'liaised' with him during his 10-hour stand-off with the FBI. Malik Faisal Akram, 44, of Blackburn, was shot dead by the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team after holding four hostages for more than 10 hours at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas on Saturday.Police in Manchester tonight revealed they have arrested two teenagers in the south of the city as they probed Akram's actions.
A Florida family fighting to give their loved one on a ventilator alternative treatments for COVID-19 have lost another battle—this time in Florida’s First District Court of Appeal.
The wife and son of Daniel Pisano first squared off against Mayo Clinic Florida at an emergency hearing on Dec. 30 in Florida’s Fourth Judicial Circuit. Before that, they’d been begging the hospital to allow them to try treating Pisano—who’s been on a ventilator now for 28 days—with the controversial drug ivermectin, along with a mix of other drugs and supplements, part of a protocol recommended by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).
CNN Tanking: Six Reasons For Its Failures
20 replies
In this installment of their weekly Sunday Six conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative discuss six examples of the ruination of the once-great Cable News Network (CNN) .
#6: The ratings for CNN continue to crash.
PF: It strikes me that many of our readers, particularly millennials, may be surprised to see our labeling of CNN as “once-great.” Anyone who only became aware of the network in the last decade or two likely assumes CNN has always been essentially just another branch of the Democratic Party’s communication department. But that assumption would be incorrect. While CNN, like most other news networks, has always leaned to the left,
The FBI have sparked fury after they appeared to dismiss a terror attack at a Texas synagogue as not being targeted against Jewish people. FBI Special Agent Matt DeSarno spoke on Saturday after British terrorist Malik Faisal Akram, 44, took four hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas and held them for more than 10 hours before he was shot dead by agents.
'We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we're continuing to work to find motive,' DeSarno said.(Snip)'The FBI is a joke. A dangerous
