Funny thing is, they came back with the opposite view, as most red states far exceeded those of blue in almost every successful way.
New York and other states long suffering under progressive thumbscrews are, of course, among the worst, and people who pack up and bail out of New York State by the thousands every week prove it.
When NY governor Andrew Cuomo was tossed out of office, pretty much due to the efforts of his own corrupt Democrat party, which tends to go particularly bonkers when one of its own gets caught red-handed at something or another, New Yorkers of leftist zombification throughout the land rejoiced, looking forward to respected lieutenant-governor Kathy Hochul assuming the role.
But it turns out that looking forward can sometimes catapult you head over heels into the abyss, and you're even more screwed than you were previously, if your new governor turns power-mad fascistic.
Welcome to the "new normal" New York, newly crushed under the leadership of Gov. Kathy "state of emergency" Hochul. That sentence sure has a lot of "new" in it, but there's a lot of new to be had these days.
When Covid enters the conversation, Hochul is a smash-and-grab governor, like others on the left. First, she smashes your right not to have something foreign invade your body with a needle, and then, should you be a health care worker fighting to be left alone without the jab, she grabs your employment right out from under you -- and as your hospital, nursing home or other health care facility escorts you out of the building and into the street Hochul and her minions make sure you will receive no unemployment benefits.
How wrong is this? I can't be any more clear: This governor and/or whomever are responsible for destroying innocent human lives and careers should be arrested, tried and convicted for their actions, with suitable prison time and forfeiture of personal assets as determined by law.
Currently, such corrupt leaders, almost always on the left politically and striving to decrease or deprive us of our rights to their satisfaction, face only impeachment when things go awry due to their actions, but impeachment is not enough in the current climate. Frankly, if you or I walked up to a stranger on the street and demanded either their cash or a threat to inject them with some alien, minimally tested substance and procedure, we would be tackled by police and taken away immediately. Why should not she and her willing government participants? This is primarily a governor and mayor things, but the power-hungry do descend on the pole of political opportunity.
Unfortunately, we live in the reality of the day, and that dictates that fascistic governments bask in the dark sun of forced compliance. That Governor Hochul exerts her efforts on condemning health workers -- the heroes of Covid -- to poverty and unemployment tells us everything we need to know.
Worse, should the new Omicron variant prove disastrous, hospitals lacking sufficient staff due to Hochul's efforts may collapse.
And now that the Omicron variant has graciously allowed the left to consider further control and power over the people, the future remains clouded. We hope for the day when the nonsense stops and courtrooms swallow up those dripping in their minds with more political influence than anybody ever intended. Elitism and cruelty do not constitute leadership, Ms. Hochul.
Abortions and the Supreme Court: As the Court takes up the abortion issue this week, I remain consistent in believing that such matters should be left up to women, their doctors and the men who make up the other half of the reason such issues are raised. Yes, maybe abortions would decrease substantially if 50 brand new cheap, safe and effective methods of birth control for both women and men flooded the marketplace, but in the meantime these decisions should not be determined by legislators or by strangers in courtrooms.
Me-o-o-o-w: So let me see here. . .Rep. Laura Boebert (R) of Colorado made a joke or some comment about Rep. Omar (D) being a Muslim with an explosive suicide device? My, that was unfortunate. Maybe a better joke would have involved something about a Muslim congressional representative who came here from another country and married her brother in order to get him into the U.S. Or perhaps ongoing investigations which linger on and on aren't appropriate joke material.
Hey kids, you're eligible! Yep, ages 5 to 11, boys, girls and genders undetermined can breeze on in and get Covid immunizations now. Why slowly suffocate in a classroom facemask all day when you can add an immunization you may not even require at your age? 'course, nobody cares about studies out of Israel and other sources indicating chronic inflammatory conditions apparently connected to the shots for some young people. It's hardly in the interest of the CDC, NIH, FDA, President, complicit media or favored Big Pharma concerns to dwell on important detritus.
Smashing and grabbing in L.A. and elsewhere: Well, it's a tad lock the barn after the horse is gone, but I suppose barbed wire is something of a deterrent. I still labor under the illusion that the best way to handle these would be to shoot some of these folks dead so that an additional message makes the rounds among criminals. The situation would change dramatically and it wouldn't take many head shots to assure law and order of sorts. We did get a laugh over one store manager who suggested getting license plate numbers -- though several vehicles used to transport stolen items had been stripped of plates prior to driving in for the grab.
