By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – January 11, 2022 Most people who are awake in the world think that the greatest attribute found in public office holders is the ability to spend the most money for the least gain in benefit for those they represent. Governor Hair Gel is the epitome of that very thought process. Hair Gel, in his infinite wisdom has rolled out a "new" offering sent to the California State Assembly for their Democratic rubber stamp. Coming in at a mere $2.7 billion, money the State doesn't really have to spend, is his well thought out "Emergency Response Package". The meat of the "package" is more testing, more vaccine support and money to hospitals in anticipation of "new" surges that require hospitalization. Clearly, the governor doesn't read the latest news which quite clearly is saying none of that will be any more successful than this same old effort of the Biden Administration which came to naught. As Democratic governors and the current Democratic Federal Administration keep regurgitating therapeutics that suddenly have become clear to most everyone as not having worked, California's governor wakes up to triple down on this two year pablum of idiocy, but hey, he gets to spend $2.7 billion more tax dollars to accomplish nothing. Sounds like normal government at work doesn't it? Not to be too hard on the empty suit, but maybe the news cycle hasn't reached his desk yet and he isn't aware that hospitals are hardly likely to be over run with new Covid patients. Similarly it hasn't peculated into his brain that vaccination is no protection against Covid and isn't preventing infection among them. Rather the new variant seems to target those that are vaccinated. More testing? For a strain of Covid that has not produced much more than a few deaths world wide? And finally partnerships to fight misinformation about the narrative which has been blown out of the water over the past couple of weeks. Just exactly who now is peddling misinformation? Seems like it is our very own misfit, Governor Hair Gel. Gov. Gavin Newsom Recent announcements from the head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, have finally admitted that the 820,000 deaths from Covid might just be a bit of a stretch. Of course it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that the "death" numbers under Biden have now exceeded those under Trump. She announced that 75% of those "claimed" to have died from Covid may have had up to four comorbiditys". Likely a new total in the offing? These morbidity's were much more likely to be the cause of death for most of those people. Most of us probably do not remember the CDC's announcement in October of 2020 when the figure 94% of Covid deaths had at least one other morbidity, bringing the death toll for the entire two years to under 50,000. As has been said before, a typical virus season, nothing to get all psychotic about. Yet, Governor Hair Gel proposes to spend nearly $3 billion on measures that have produced nothing for the people of this state. At the local level here in Del Norte County, we find ourselves encountering the same kind of retrograde philosophy, over one hundred mild cases, two hospitalizations of the mild version and no deaths, yet our local hysteriac in charge, Lord Stutz is instituting more masking and vaxxing, "zoom" meetings for our anointed, and fear mongering over non existent over burdened hospitals. State masking mandate extended until February 15th, but little surprise there. No real emergency, but local health and state officials are pretending there is one just to extend their power. How long are people going to remain in this pointless "lockdown" in California before we realize that many other states have had enough and are moving back to normalcy in the face of this new Covid variant. Will we continue to cower in fear when the next couple of variants come calling? France and Cyprus are furnishing the next two boogie monsters under the bed for those subject to MFP. So sad…..
