This is an absolutely amazing speech justifying why, as the Mayor of SF, she was completely justified in violating the city's indoor mask mandate that applies to ordinary citizens. Top notch:
And her argument that it's unreasonable to demand she use a mask while eating and drinking -- aside from being hilarious since everyone saw the video where she was not eating or drinking -- directly contradicts Gavin Newsom's October edit the serfs to mask between bites and sips:
I can't fathom let alone express in words how authoritarian a mindset someone must be plagued with to believe that it's fine for political, cultural and financial elites to exempt themselves from the rules they demand everyone else obey.

Anger at that is practically instinctive.
Here's the video of SF Mayor @LondonBreed partying and dancing inside a nightclub without the masks required by her own government's mandates.

Judge for yourself if you think her rationale for why it's fine for her (but not you) to do this matches what she did:
The most bizarre aspect of this horde of liberal politicians flagrantly violating the COVID rules and laws they impose on everyone else isn't that they do it -- it's human nature to abuse power -- but that they have a huge army of liberals who justify it or say it doesn't matter.
What an exceptional headline:

CNN: "San Francisco mayor scolds 'fun police' after being criticized for flouting city's indoor mask mandate"

edition.cnn.com/2021/09/20/pol…
Try going into a club or bar without a mask in a city that has a mask mandate -- like San Francisco -- and when you're told you have to wear one, just say: "stop distracting from the awesome music! What are you: the fun police?" See if it works.

Here is our new definitive video report -- in light of the new proof from Politico's @SchreckReports that the key Biden emails from Hunter's laptop were authentic -- on the gigantic pre-election fraud from the CIA, Big Tech and the corporate media:

rumble.com/vmteq5-new-pro…
There is no way to overstate what a massive scandal this is. In the weeks before the election, the CIA invented a blatant lie: that the NY Post's documents were "Russian disinformation." Big Tech then *censored* the reporting, and corporate outlets spent weeks spreading the lie:
The reality is that -- *from the start* -- there was ample evidence proving these documents were real, and that the CIA was lying. But the evidence came from right-wing outlets so the NYT, CNN and friends ignored it. The evidence this new book provides leaves no doubt about it:

POLITICO reporter @SchreckReports has a new book *confirming* the emails from Hunter Biden's laptop about Joe Biden's business deals in China & Ukraine are genuine.

People complaining about pre-election censorship by Google in Russia cheered Big Tech's censoring this reporting.
I have a copy of Schreckinger's important book and will write about it shortly. 2 points:

1) Kudos to him, as a young journalist, for reporting facts most in the corporate media don't want to hear.

2) Big Tech/Dem censorship of this story before the election was a grave assault
As a reminder, this is what happened:

* It was obvious from the start the Hunter docs were authentic.

* They concerned *Joe's* activities, not Hunter's.

* CIA lied, saying it was "Russian disinformation."

* Big Tech & media united to *censor* the reporting to protect Biden.

Meanwhile, numerous influential institutions are subjecting fully vaccinated people to extreme levels of control and surveillance.

The worst are academic institutions. They require vaccines, then take their pool of vaccinated 18-22 year-olds and use COVID to control their lives.
The only way to be free of control and coercion if you're vaccinated is to be a celebrity, a guest at Nancy Pelosi's donor lunch, Obama's indoor bash, the Met Gala, or the Emmys (though vaccinated staff must keep their faces hidden).

Only an authoritarian mind justifies this.

The Indictment of Hillary Clinton's Lawyer is an Indictment of the Russiagate Wing of U.S. Media

greenwald.substack.com/p/the-indictme…
The DOJ's new charging document, approved by Biden's Attorney General, sheds bright light onto the Russiagate fraud and how journalistic corruption was key.

Yet amazingly -- or revealingly -- the journalists most responsible for this fraud have not even acknowledged this.
All four statements from this Hillary tweet 8 days before the election -- all four -- are complete lies. This scam was cooked up by her own campaign operatives, then fed to her media servants who laundered it, as she pretended she learned it from them:

In new video from Vogue, AOC and her boyfriend passed through a large team of masked servants -- all while they remain mask-free indoors -- as they prepared to attend a ball like the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Liberal discourse on COVID has zero relationship to science.
Someone please explain to me the scientific rationale for requiring servants indoors to have cloth covering their face, while the celebrities they serve are mask-free?

And what's the socialist praxis for this two-tiered mask system of servants and the served indoors?
Each time a Democratic politician arbitrarily imposes some new COVID restriction that not even the most restrictive countries (like NZ) have -- here's the NY Gov. using her new power to randomly requiring *2-year-olds* to remain masks -- we just submit:

The Pentagon's Lies About the August 29 Drone Strikes Were Spread For Days By An Unquestioning Media

Over and over, US security services lie and corporate media spread them uncritically. This is a particularly vivid case. Watch:

rumble.com/vmncz9-the-pen…
It's hard to overstate how common this behavior is. I'm not speaking here with 20/20 hindsight now that the Pentagon admits its story was false. I published a video on August 30 - one day after - criticizing the media for its complete lack of skepticism about these drones strikes
The only reason the Pentagon was forced to admit its drone strike story was false is all eyes were on Kabul, which enabled the NYT's superb investigation proving the story was false. But usually, the same thing happens and they don't get caught - thanks to media stenographers.
