CALIFORNIA IN MELTDOWN - THIS IS WHAT GAVEN NEWSOM, NANCY PELOSI, KAMALA HARRIS AND WAR PROFITEER DIANNE FEINSTEIN HAVE DONE TO ONE STATE - THEIR DREAM IS 49 MORE MEXIFORNIAS

Democrats in this one-party "paradise" may also be following the Cloward-Piven strategy, which is to overload the economy so that it collapses, necessitating socialist policies (FOR ILLEGALS.  



GLOBALIST BARACK OBAMA AND NANCY PELOSI’S CONSPIRACY TO SABOTAGE HOMELAND SECURITY AND KEEP AMERICA FLOODED WITH DEM VOTING ILLEGALS


"Along with Obama, Pelosi and Schumer are responsible for incalculable damage done to this country over the eight years of that administration." PATRICIA McCARTHY (BIDEN IS NOT NOTED AS HE SPENT 8 YEARS DURING THE OBOMB FOR BANKSTERS REGIME SUCKING OFF BRIBES AND NO ONE REALLY SAW HIM)

San Francisco is a disaster about which Nancy Pelosi she cares nothing.  It is a city ravaged by drug abuse, homelessness, rampant crime and all the other scourges of leftism.  She lives extravagantly in her gated mansion.  She lives a life of wealth and privilege in city suffering a civilizational collapse created and orchestrated by 
her own party.  She revels in it.  She has become a near-billionairess by way of politics of the most corrupt variety.  She is indeed a cancer on the body politic. PATRICIA McCARTHY

 


It's beginning to look as if California is deliberately trying to tank the economy


One of California's boasts over the years is that it's possible to have a Progressively run state — including an open border and unlimited welfare for legal and illegal residents alike — and to be an economic powerhouse.   As many have pointed out over the years, though, this is a peculiar contention.   California's economy has been kept afloat by Silicon Valley and the economy built to support it and, to a lesser extent, by the entertainment industry in Southern California.   Outside those bubbles, California  has  the highest poverty rate in America, not to mention  the largest homeless population.
California's bizarre experiment with shutting down the entire state to prevent the Wuhan virus from infecting any more people is going to prove whether the Progressive boosters or grim economic realities will win.   And there's always the possibility, far-fetched though it may seem, that California's political leaders are deliberately tanking the economy both to prevent Trump's re-election and to break the welfare system,  à la the Cloward-Piven strategy, to force a socialist economy.
In California as a whole, after desperate Californians took to the beaches for temporary relief from their house arrest, Governor Newsom  threatened them with an even longer shutdown  if they did not instantly return to imprisonment in their own homes.   This ignores the fact that  the sun kills the virus  and that  outdoor transmission is rare.   Moreover, there's increasingly strong evidence that  shutdowns do not change the disease's progression.   What he's doing is tyrannical.   There's no other word for it.
Meanwhile, in the San Francisco Bay Area, seven counties have agreed to continue their shelter in place  through May!   To appreciate the insanity of this, you need to understand that the curve is flattened in California, which was supposed to be the end goal before returning to normal.
According to the  San Francisco Chronicle,  "[t]he number of coronavirus patients in Bay Area hospitals hit its lowest mark since the state started recording county-by-county hospitalization data."   Not only has the curve flattened, but it's completely inconsequential:
— San Francisco County announced one additional death and 16 new cases to increase its death toll to 23 and total case count to 1,424.
— San Mateo County reported 61 new cases, bringing its total to 1,080. The death toll remains 41.
— Alameda County reported 30 new cases, bringing its total to 1,498. The death toll remains 52.
— Contra Costa County reported three new cases, bringing its total to 820. The death toll remains 25.
— Santa Clara County reported 23 new cases and three new deaths, increasing the case count to 2,105 and the death toll to 103.
— Napa County reported four new cases, bringing its total to 64. The death toll remains two.
— Marin County reported one new case, bringing its total to 224. The death toll remains 12.
— Solano County reported 27 new cases, bringing its total to 226. The death toll remains four.
— Sonoma County reported two new cases, bringing its total to 220. The death toll remains two.
As of Monday, in Marin County, one of the counties remaining closed,  the local newspaper conceded  that "Marin's coronavirus curve is flat and only two patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were being treated for the illness in the county's hospitals on Sunday."
If you're wondering why there are so many videos floating around of hospital staff being silly, it's not just because they're punchy and fighting off the horror of death.   Outside New York, most hospitals are completely quiet.   Because local governments mandated that hospitals can offer only emergency services, there are no patients.   Kids aren't getting necessary vaccinations, people who might be having cancers diagnosed aren't getting that care, people in chronic pain are suffering — and bored staff members are dancing and making videos.
Some in California are  coming to terms with the fact  that the state's housing policies, which called for super-density to fight the imagined horrors predicted by anthropogenic climate change models, are responsible for California's virus troubles.   This does not deter anyone in California from relying on more models.   Currently, California's  citizens are being controlled by models  that predict death rates  tantamount to a modern version of the medieval Black Death.
The big question is, why is this happening?   Why has California abandoned its goal of flattening the curve and moved on, without citizen consent, to wiping out the virus completely (which will never happen)?   One reason could be that panicked Progressive politicians genuinely believe that the pockets of wealth in the California economy will be strong enough to keep the state afloat indefinitely.   It's hard to believe, though, that they are that stupid.
The other reason is that the state is courting financial collapse on purpose.   This could be because doing so would (they hope) destroy Trump's bid for re-election.   Democrats in this one-party "paradise" may also be following the Cloward-Piven strategy, which is to overload the economy so that it collapses, necessitating socialist policies.   Certainly,  Newsom has said    the virus offers an opportunity for Progressives to "reshape the way we do business and how we govern."


Pelosi is a ghastly creature. She and her ilk – Feinstein, Boxer, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom – have effectively destroyed California and they did it on purposeThey strive to import as many illegal migrants as possible; they've created and fostered the homelessness and let it fester. California is now a socialist disaster and the further destruction of the economy is just what they've wanted. They see it as their chance to transform the state into Venezuela.


Nancy Pelosi, a ghastly creature, quite beyond the pale

On Monday, Speaker Pelosi finally got around to endorsing Joe Biden for president.
Today, I am proud to endorse Joe Biden for president of the United States because he will be an extraordinary president. He knows how to get the job done. When our nation faced the Great Recession, it was Joe Biden who led the implementation and the accountability of the Recovery Act, helping create and save millions of jobs. Now more than ever, we need a forward-looking, battle-tested leaders who will fight for the people, a president with the values, experience and the strategic-thinking to bring our nation together and build a better, fairer world for our children. For these and other reasons, I am proud to endorse Joe Biden for president, a leader who is the personification of hope and courage, values, authenticity and integrity.

YouTube screen grab.
Has anyone ever heard a bigger load of sheer nonsense?
Any remotely sentient person knows by now that Joe Biden is an intellectual lightweight, a plagiarist, corrupt to his core (he has seen to it that every member of his family has become fabulously wealthy thanks to his nefarious shenanigans), and that he is suffering from rapidly advancing dementia.  His wife Jill seems to want to be first lady so badly she is willing to sacrifice her husband's well-being to her own hunger for power.  Maybe she thinks she can be Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's second wife, who ostensibly ran the country after Wilson's massive stroke in 1919.  He had suffered three previous strokes: 1896, 1906, and 1913.  Wilson was an avowed racist and the first "progressive" president to attempt the transformation of America.  He was a nasty piece of work.  Obama was his direct descendent politically. 
Joe Biden suffered two aneurysms for which he underwent brain surgery.  He survived those operations and remained a senator without distinction.  As Robert Gates wrote in his book, Joe Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy issue for forty years.  He has always been a mediocre senator and everyone — the media and the DNC — knows it.
Pelosi now seems to be almost as senile as Joe.  She stumbles and mumbles when speaking, forgets names, and is often as completely nonsensical as Biden.  She is so out of touch with the American people that she can show off her fancy refrigerator and $13-a-pint ice cream as a prescription for enduring the stay-at-home edicts.  And now she is endorsing a man the whole world knows is mentally deficient.  The woman is a menace to society.  And like the rest of the left, she assumes the American people, at least her Democrats, are mind-numbed idiots, that despite Biden's obvious mental problems, he can be elected president. 
Then came COVID-19.  The left could not believe its good fortune.  All previous attempts to destroy Donald Trump had failed because they were all fabricated hoaxes; Russia collusion, the thoroughly discredited Mueller report, Ukraine quid-pro-quo, impeachment.  Pelosi was happily onboard with Adam Schiff's phony impeachment scam; Schiff is the biggest fool in the House, and thankfully, his unscrupulousness is gradually coming to light.
Pelosi dragged the impeachment process out as long as possible.  "Procrastination is also a subtle act of corruption — it corrupts valuable time" (Amit Abraham).  She was playing power politics and paying absolutely no attention to COVID-19.  As late as the end of February, she was encouraging San Franciscans to party in the streets for the Chinese New Year.  She opposed Trump's travel ban.  Now she blames him for the virus itself.  The woman is a harpy.  Nothing proves her lack of concern for the country more than her predictable and prescribed endorsement of Biden.  The left and its governors intend to drag out the destruction of the American economy for as long as possible in the mistaken belief that it will ensure the defeat of President Trump.
Biden's mental decline is so apparent that it is likely that the DNC will be forced to somehow select another candidate before November.  It had better not be Saint Andrew of Albany.  He has managed his state's virus crisis horribly.  He is an arrogant, incompetent jerk.  Ordering COVID-19 patients into nursing homes and not to the hospital ship or the field hospitals that Trump has speedily provided cost thousands of lives.
Pelosi is the presumptive leader of her party but has been part and parcel of the Russia hoax, the Kavanaugh spectacle, impeachment and her party's failure to grasp the seriousness of this virus when Trump did, when only one person in the US had died from it. The Democrat party as a whole has devolved into a Tammany Hall machine. Nancy Pelosi has long been their Boss Tweed

Nothing proves their contempt for hardworking Americans more than their embrace of this lockdown. Pelosi pretends to revere democracy, but she means to foment and protect the plutocracy she believes she has successfully brought into being.
The greatest evil which fortune can inflict on men is to endow them with small talents and great ambition." (Vauvenargues)
Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, et.al. are all small talents with great ambition who have inflicted evil upon our nation.





Bet Your Life -- Vote for Democrats


I’m trying to restrain my anger and speak measuredly, but it’s damn hard to do so. (Nancy Pelosi’s latest trial balloon -- an investigation into the President’s handling of the Wuhan virus, was so preposterous it drove me into something I never do -- binge watching old TV serials, in this case “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”) The Wuhan virus spread throughout the world due to the Chinese government’s lies, and the acts of the head of the WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysesus who came to that position from the violent Ethiopian Communist party and covered up for China as did the mainstream U.S. media. 
Conrad Black writes at American Greatness:
The same press outlets have been engaged in a scandalous attempt to represent the Chinese response to the crisis as brilliant and to accept Beijing’s claim to have eliminated the virus within its own borders, in embarrassing contrast (they suppose) to Trumpian floundering about. 
In reality, the Chinese were inexcusably dishonest in withholding the proportions of the coronavirus outbreak, have not uttered a truthful word about it up to and including this week -- as they claim to have had almost no further fatalities and none at all in the past few days; and were extremely negligent in not moving promptly to restrict outward travel and warn the world. 
The same American press which has acclaimed the official Chinese performance with an adulatory hallelujah chorus have railed against President Trump for following the normal practice of identifying the coronavirus geographically. The subordination of the World Health Organization as a cheerleader for China’s odium and criminality will require that the entire leadership of the WHO to be sacked and replaced by people in whom it is possible to have some confidence. 
By the time this horrible virus has ravaged the underdeveloped world -- which is completely unprepared to deal with it and where the danger of horrific human devastation is the fear that dare not speak its name -- the complacent support of the corrupt leadership of the United Nations and its agencies by African and Asian states may have abated. 
Their actions should not be ignored. But the actions of some elected Democratic officials doubtless contributed greatly to the spread of the disease, and as we show, seem to have had a disproportionate effect on the poor -- especially African Americans in these states and cities, the very blocs of voters who voted them into office.
The people most at risk from the virus are the elderly and the immune-suppressed. Diabetics, pre-diabetics, those with high blood pressure, and the grossly overweight are immune-suppressed and seem hardest hit. At least in NY, these conditions are found disproportionately in the black community.
The contagion also seems concentrated in denser urban areas and among the poor, who must rely on public transportation, live in closer quarters, and whose lack of storage space mean they must risk shopping more often for food and essential supplies. This picture seems clear in NYC. In Southern California the picture may be more closely related to travel from China and crowded conditions in areas with lots of illegal immigrants -- post-virus analysis may clarify that.
New York City's and California’s loony politicos are hooked on identity politics and see racism everywhere, ignoring objective science. The consequences of ignoring reality: overwhelmed medical facilities, lack of proper medical equipment, and soaring death rates. 
Daniel Greenfield, writing at Frontpage Magazine, dissects in depth the role of identity politics in New York City, a case history in the consequences of  stupid politics and utter mismanagement. 
In brief, Mayor de Blasio’s City Health Commissioner, Oxiris Barbot, is a radical who previously served as Health Commissioner of Baltimore where she “had given the city’s race rioters ‘space to destroy.’” Space which continues after her move to New York  to result in a soaring murder rate
She boasted of seeing health policy through a “racial equity lens,” a lens so fogged that she concentrated on discouraging those arriving from Wuhan from going into self-quarantine and encouraging New Yorkers to attend the Lunar New Year celebrations in the city.
"As we gear up to celebrate the #LunarNewYear in NYC, I want to assure New Yorkers that there is no reason for anyone to change their holiday plans, avoid the subway, or certain parts of the city because of #coronavirus," she insisted. 
By then there had already been over 17,000 cases of the Wuhan Virus in China with nearly 3,000 new cases in one day. For the first time, someone outside Mainland China had died of the disease. 
Manhattan’s Chinatown, where Barbot had appeared, is one of the densest parts of the city. The old core community where the Lunar New Year celebration is based is a maze of cramped tenements, narrow streets, tiny stores whose counters extend far into the street, and other unsafe conditions 
Barbot went on urging people to participate in the parade while spreading misinformation about the risk. “You won’t get it merely from riding the subways -- you get it from secretions,” she even claimed.  
To her, the enemy was racial prejudice, not a rapidly transmissible, often deadly virus with a spread we can only hope to reduce by practicing social distance and good hygiene. 
New York’s health authorities ignored objective research and placed the city’s residents at great risk, and the outbreak exploded. 
So blinded by identity politics was the mayor that he never even ordered protective equipment until mid-March.
A staggering 6,582 additional people tested positive for the deadly bug since Thursday evening, bringing the city’s total confirmed cases to 56,289. Another 305 New Yorkers died from the virus, pushing the death toll up to 1,867.
More than 1,100 more coronavirus patients were hospitalized in the past day. Since the outbreak 11,739 people have been hospitalized. The city’s ICU capacity is at 88 percent with just 370 beds left unfilled.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday, just before the new statistics were released, that the coming days will be even darker.  
In fact, de Blasio’s rejection of science and utter mismanagement is matched only by his ignorance of the law. This week, the dictatorial nitwit decided we should draft doctors and nurses to help his people out of the mess for which he bears no small degree of responsibility. Tom Maguire reports
The greatest city in the world is teetering on the brink so its Mayor seizes the opportunity to remind us he is a useless buffoon:
  • COVID-19: De Blasio urges US enlistment program for doctors and nurses
  • Mayor calls for medics to be moved to places in greatest need
  • New York City prepares for surge in coronavirus cases
  • "Enlistment program"?!? WHAT did he say?
  • New York City’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, has called for a national enlistment program for doctors and nurses, to handle an expected surge in coronavirus cases in New York and across the US.
  • “If we’re fighting a war, let’s act like we’re fighting a war,” he told reporters on Friday.
  • "...unless the military is fully mobilized and we create something we’ve never had before, which is some kind of national enlistment of medical personnel moved to the most urgent needs in the country constantly … if we don’t have that we’re going to see hospitals simply unable to handle so many people who could be saved.”
OK, that won't be happening. As a minor point, there is no time for Congress to pass the relevant legislation. As a major point, this is still America, we abandoned the draft decades ago, and we don't force people to work at gunpoint.
And how would it work? NY hospitals are short of Protective Personal Equipment. So the Feds are going to threaten to arrest some doctor in Vermont unless he gets down to NY and imperils himself by treating coronavirus patients? And if the good people of the great state of Vermont need health care down the road, NY promises to send their doctor back, unless he's sick or dead or super busy saving New Yorkers in which case, well, that's a problem for another day? [snip]
As a further illustration that desperate times require desperate short-sightedness, this order by Gov. Cuomo is outrageous:
Cuomo said he would sign an executive order that allows the national guard to take ventilators and personal protective equipment from institutions that don’t need them right now and redistribute them to those that do. He said those institutions would either have their ventilators returned to them or get reimbursements. Cuomo said there may be several hundred ventilators available because of the order.
Right now, the state is fielding a daily need for about 300 additional ventilators, he said. Those ventilators, officials have repeatedly explained, make the difference between life and death.
“Am I willing to deploy the national guard and inconvenience people for several hundred lives? You’re damn right I am,” Cuomo said…
I guess Gov. Cuomo's message is "tough luck".
Nancy Pelosi 
The first reference I can find of a mysterious virus in Wuhan was one in Mandarin dated December 31, 2019, three weeks before the Pelosi-promoted California congressman Adam Schiff’s impeachment trial, which began on January 21. One day after the ill-fated impeachment trial began, the CDC reported the first domestic virus case and the New York Times reported that the Chinese government was quarantining Wuhan. Eight days after the first case was reported in the U.S., the president formed the coronavirus task force. That same day WHO declared the virus a Global Health emergency. The next day (January 31), the President declared a public health emergency, quarantined U.S. citizens returning from China’s Hubei Province and restricted entry into the U.S. from China. (The Democrats charged him with racism for doing so though this step has proven critical to slowing the spread of the virus here.)
Two days later, on February 2, he suspended entry of others who posed a risk of transmitting the virus (and thereafter, added to suspension of entry people from other countries where the virus was appearing). On February 4 in his State of the Union address, he warned of the virus. Nancy Pelosi in a public temper tantrum and show of contempt ripped up her copy of the State of the Union address. 
On February 24, twenty days after the President issued his warning about the virus and almost one month after he restricted entry from China, Nancy Pelosi publicly stated that people should pay no attention to the coronavirus fears and joined crowds in San Francisco’s Chinese lunar new years' celebrations, “We think it’s very safe,” she said.  
On March 11, The President suspended travel from Europe, and the WHO officially declared the virus a pandemic. The following day, NYC declared a state of emergency and issued a statewide ban on all large gatherings.
I can only imagine what the death toll will be in California.  San Francisco has immune-suppressed HIV-AIDs affected citizens (about 12,985 people living with HIV in San Francisco) and thousands of homeless people living on the streets. So far, the homeless do not seem particularly affected, but if (or once) it makes an appearance there, I suspect it will take a substantial toll. I suppose many of these people are already quite unhealthy, live cheek by jowl outdoors on feces-heaped streets, and lack access to means to practice proper hygiene. California also has a large number of immigrants -- in recent years, largely from Asia:
The majority of recent arrivals are from Asia.
The vast majority of California’s immigrants were born in Latin America (50%) or Asia (40%). California has sizable populations of immigrants from dozens of countries; the leading countries of origin are Mexico (4.1 million), China (969,000), the Philippines (857,000), Vietnam (524,000), and India (507,000). However, most (56%) of those arriving between 2010 and 2017 came from Asia; only 29% came from Latin America.
At the moment the virus is racing faster through Southern California than Northern California, with Los Angeles County hardest hit. Santa Clara County with a high percentage of Asian population (37%) was hard hit as well though at the moment Los Angeles is hardest of the California counties hit. 
I have for reasons for space and time limited the discussion largely to di Blasio and Pelosi, but they are certainly not the only Democratic politicians whose foolishness proves they are never to be trusted at the times we need sound political leadership most.
If you vote for people like these, you bet your life (and mine).
