Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Despondent LA Restaurant Owner Cries Out For Help, While Choking Amid The Hypocrisy

Angela Marsden is an owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill since 2011.  They are barely hanging-on to their business amid the insufferable COVID compliance dictates from LA Mayor Garcetti, the municipal COVID compliance officers, and arbitrary COVID decrees devoid of any scientific merit.  Today the weight of it all became too much:

The Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill has a website [SEE HERE] and a contact page where you can show your support. Amid these challenging times fellowship and a spirit of community within the common sense rebel alliance is critical. Make sure you do not allow people to think they are ‘on their own’.

Twelve Years Later, Rick Santelli Nails It Again

Many people may not remember the February 2009 famous rant by CNBC financial pundit Rick Santelli that captured the heart of the Tea Party movement in response to massive announced bailouts of Wall Street institutions.  There are trillions at stake.

Wall Street pundit Rick Santelli was originally responding to the famous TARP,  Auto-bailouts, Porkulous, Omnibus, QE1, QE2 and ultimately the American Recovery and Restoration Act (ARRA ie. stimulus ‘shovel ready jobs‘), all of which were financial bailouts and payments for politically connected financial interests and unions. None of these programs assisted Main Street USA with a dime.

Fast forward twelve years later and here we are again. The same voices, with the same playbook, with the same insufferable political manipulation under the guise of COVID compliance mandates.  The ‘never let a crisis go to waste crowd‘; and the soon-to-follow massive state spending bailouts; for which COVID is the purposeful cover story.

COVID-19 has more purposefully weaponized political arrows than any previously used financial quiver. However, if you step-back and compare the agenda – there is a brutal amount of similarity… all of the exact same benefactors…. and Main Street collapses.

This is the progressive way to a Marxist economy.  We The People are collateral damage.

DNI John Ratcliffe States He Has Produced Thousands of Declassified Documents For Special Counsel John Durham to Use

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe explains the scale of declassified evidence he has produced to special counsel John Durham.

Whether Durham or AG Bill Barr does anything with the evidence is an unknown; however, according to Ratliffe there is enough detail in the evidence provided to show gross abuses of power by the FBI, DOJ and intelligence community under the Obama administration.  This aspect becomes important as you realize almost all of Joe Biden’s executive staff is from the identical pool of former Obama officials.

WASHINGTON DC – “Between my predecessor Richard Grenell in an acting capacity and myself, we have declassified most of the intelligence community documents that would be suitable for the public to see, that wouldn’t jeopardize sources and methods,” Ratcliffe said in a phone interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “There are others, many many documents — I think it’s been out there that I’ve provided literally thousands of documents to John Durham, but many of those do contain sources and methods that we can’t make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that’s going there. So I think the level of cooperation — I’ve given them everything that they’ve asked for.”

Freedom Under Attack – NC Store Owner Cited for Sign Not Requiring Masks

Comrades, a shop owner in North Carolina has been given a citation by local COVID Compliance Authorities for non-compliant signage in their store allowing previously free-range citizens to enter the establishment without masks.

If the promotion of respiratory freedom, by free and independent citizens in a private commercial building, is now a violation of the COVID regulations; well, how long before that intrusive citation applies inside your private residence.  Think about it…

WENDELL, N.C. — A North Carolina store owner has been cited for encouraging customers NOT to wear masks in her store. Police said the signs violate Gov. Roy Cooper’s mask-wearing order, which was imposed to preserve public health during the coronavirus pandemic.

Wendell General Store owner Regina Harmon was cited Wednesday with one count of aiding and abetting the violation of an executive order, news outlets reported.
