Friend of the TreeHouse John Spiropoulos files a ground report to showcase some lesser contemplated impacts from the COVID-19 regulatory rules and restrictions.  As John shares:

“The larger story is the impact on their “customers” — young ballplayers. My report is about one small business involved in one sport in one state. The shutdowns have hurt every young player in every sport, tens of millions of them. Youth sports fulfill a vital role in a young person’s life, providing valuable life lessons. It matters not whether they make it to the “next level” or whether that’s even their desire.”

Comrade Rebels, there is a considerable disparity amid the Republic when it comes to authoritarian dictates and various State Ministries of Covid Compliance. The California Ministry of COVID compliance has some of the most restrictive regulations in the nation; however, their Coronavirus cases have not abated.

Additionally, Comrade Newsom has previously claimed the virus is triggered by rebellious activity at certain times of the evening; and in specific locales.

However, there is no scientific data to validate the assumptions to support many municipalities having curfews and hours of operation to avoid the greater Rona threat later in the evening.

All of these issues. and the false-pretenses behind the regulations, have now created a backlash against the governor of the California.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER – A new poll conducted by the University of California at Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s job approval rating plummeted by 18 percentage points in three months. In October, he had a 49% approval rating; in January it dropped to 31%.

Also, 36% of respondents said they support the recall effort against Newsom, which has gained popularity among Democrats.

Roughly 31% of those polled said Newsom has done an excellent or good job in handling the coronavirus, down from 49% in September. (read more)

Friend of the TreeHouse John Spiropoulos spent time traveling around the country to get in-person interviews with people who have been impacted by the COVID shutdowns.

During his trip, John stopped in Arizona to meet with several businesses who have been impacted to share the real life outcomes of government policy.  These are people, not statistics.  These arbitrary COVID regulations are hurting families, loved-ones and middle-class people who are just trying to earn a living.

“”Brutal. Devastating.” That’s how small businesses describe the economic shutdowns imposed by state and local governments due to the China Virus. The shutdowns have forced the closure of tens of thousands of business and thrown millions of people out of work. This is one of a series of reports on the economic shutdowns. It features a report on Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, a chain of 50 restaurants.” ~John Spiropoulos

Above and below are the first three of John’s Let’s Roll America reports on the devastating impact of the state and local government restrictions on economic activity. One is about a pizza chain, another is a surgery center, a third is a hotel.  Also tomorrow we will share the story of kids in sports trying to get college scholarships or go pro. Later, there will be stories about mom’s dealing with the troubling isolation of their children.

The Federal Reserve panel sent a warning about the U.S. economy starting to suffer as the JoeBama administration starts to institute “America Last” policies.  The financial media will not directly point to the Biden policy agenda as the primary source of the issue, but the background context of a new administration is exactly the difference.

Even during the worst aspects of the 2020 COVID-19 impact during the Donald Trump administration, the underpinning of the U.S. economy remained strong.  However, now that JoeBama has taken office the 2021 COVID-19 impact is being used as an excuse.

WASHINGTON DC – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday struck a more somber tone about the U.S. economy, saying the recovery is weakening as the country waits for widespread vaccinations against the coronavirus.

“The pace of the recovery in economic activity and employment has moderated in recent months, with weakness concentrated in the sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic,” the Fed’s rate-setting committee said in its post-meeting statement. That contrasts with its observation last month that the economy had “continued to recover.”  (read more)

The political timing of these new policies are brutally transparent.

After Comrade Whitmer returns from Washington DC she announces Michigan restaurants will be permitted to re-open for indoor dining February 1st.

MICHIGAN – Indoor dining at restaurants and bars in Michigan will resume on Feb. 1, 75 days after it was suspended amid a surge in COVID-19 infections.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced the reopening Friday morning, the latest signal that health officials believe the state is moving past a second wave of the virus that struck in the fall.

Under a new epidemic order that will last from Feb. 1 through Feb. 21, restaurants and bars will be allowed to offer indoor dining at 25% capacity with up to 100 people, and they must close by 10 p.m. each night. Tables must also be six feet apart with no more than six people per table.  (read more)

One of the bigger issues never fully grasped by many Americans was President Donald Trump’s restraint in relation to the power of the federal government under the guise of COVID-19 action.  No president in our lifetime was ever more reluctant to weaponize the opportunity to expand government; Donald Trump stood the gap.

CTH warned since last summer of the ramifications if a leftist group used COVID-19 to expand federal power over peoples lives and livelihoods.  Today, JoeBama’s team has unleashed a series of TEN EXECUTIVE ORDERS fully weaponizing the opportunity.

(1) Executive order on COVID worker Safety, weaponized Dept of Labor, OSHA.  Literally word-for-word what CTH predicted.   [Predictions HERE and HERE]

(2) Executive order on COVID school safety, weaponized the Dept of Education. Leverages federal funds, grants.  Supports the education labor union effort. Exactly as expected.

(3) Executive order creating COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force.  Weaponizing the HHS takeover; the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Education, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.  Again, exactly as predicted.

While putting the health and well-being of American citizens at risk…. The JoeBama administration has decided to suspend all deportations and open the U.S. border to accept thousands of illegal aliens without concern for spread of COVID-19.

As John Spiropoulos works his way back to California he stops to talk to middle-America about the impacts of the COVID lockdowns and how people are adjusting their family life to retain their values.  This short segment is the story of a family of five who were fed up with the lockdown in Oregon and so they picked up and moved to South Dakota.

…”There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.”…

When we initially asked the question: “where would you choose to live“, we had no idea a virus would be purposeful to enhance the objectives of social engineering, isolation and ultimately, painfully, oppression.  Oblivious to the grand design, we allowed a seemingly disparate network of big tech companies to control communication.  The COVID aspect now generates in the physical world exactly the same distance created in the digital world.

The transparency of timing is brutally obvious.  Yes, the far-left was willing to put millions of American’s through economic pain and hardship in order to advance their interests.

Last week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the economy had suddenly become more important than the threat presented by COVID-19. Too much economic damage was inflicted upon his state and now wants to re-open.

Yesterday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the economic damage to the service industry was so severe it was now greater than the COVID risk…. and will reopen bars and restaurants.   Today, a new study shows no benefit to the lockdowns.

The motives here are exactly as outlined for the past year.  The fear of COVID was weaponized to damage the global economy and in doing so damage the reelection guarantee of Donald Trump. Now that mission is accomplished, the walk-back begins:

[Newsweek] A new study evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world found that mandatory lockdown orders early in the pandemic did not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than other voluntary measures, such as social distancing or travel reduction.

The peer reviewed study, which was conducted by a group of Stanford researchers and published in the Wiley Online Library on January 5, analyzed coronavirus case growth in 10 countries in early 2020.

With the JoeBama administration looming, suddenly New York totalitarian Governor Andrew Cuomo has a reversal in position:

If you read that and said… “wha, wait.. huh?”, you would not be alone.   After initiating lock-down measures that collapsed the New York economy because there was no other option…. suddenly the risks of economic collapse are worse than the COVID-19 threat, which is the same message President Trump has been sharing for months. What gives?

[…] New York has used just half of its roughly one million vaccine doses so far, and Cuomo said New York won’t have enough doses for roughly four million eligible New Yorkers until mid-April, based on the state’s federal allotment of 300,000 vaccines per week.

[…] “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo said.  (read more)
