Add Democrat Fundraisers to COVID Lockdown Order Exceptions: NYC Mayoral Candidate Hosts Fundraiser At Restaurant
Political elites—if they are Democrats—are not just free to do as they please, but they are completely comfortable doing so
We can add another exception to Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns and edicts: Democrat fundraisers.
So far, we’ve learned that Democrat political elite are uniquely immune to COVID. They prance around hair salons that are closed to the public, enjoy large-gathering dinners at restaurants, jet off to Hawaii for a schmoozefest with lobbyists and donors, and join mobs of protesters and celebrants in the streets—the mobs are also uniquely immune, of course, if they are pro-Biden, BLM, or some other group favored by Democrats.
As has long been the case with any disastrous Democrat policy, lockdown waivers are apparently being issued to donor groups and supporters favored by the Democratic Party. So far, it’s ‘just’ the entertainment industry, but as we know from watching every Obama-era “change,” the list of waiver recipients will grow.
Republicans, of course, are not afforded this magical immunity to WuFlu. We know this because the left spent (at least) two days bashing Sen. Ted Cruz for taking off his mask to drink coffee at the airport and later (gasp!) on an airplane. They also refer to any gathering of Republicans and/or of their supporters as “super-spreader events.”
This catch-all condemnation with deliberately apocalyptic overtones can refer to anything from the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice in the Rose Garden to the Republican National Convention to a biker rally to any grassroots lockdown protest to any Trump rally to any church or synagogue service.
Fundraisers are apparently also on the list of things the Democrat politically elite can do that Republicans cannot.

New York City mayoral candidate and current BP of Brooklyn Eric Adams addressed campaign donors inside an Upper West Side bar and restaurant on Friday night — as the city was bracing for the imminent closure of indoor dining while the coronavirus outbreak surges anew.
He gave his stump speech to at least 18 supporters inside “Good Enough to Eat” on Columbus Ave.
. . . . When a Daily News reporter entered the restaurant before the speech, several attendees seated close to one another at tables were not wearing masks. They put masks on by the time Adams gave his remarks. He also was wearing a mask and thanked the organizers for taking safety precautions before launching into his speech, which lasted about 10 minutes.
“If you have not contributed yet, make sure you see me,” an organizer told the guests after Adams spoke.
Asked after his remarks if he thought it was appropriate to hold such a fundraiser during the COVID outbreak, Adams declined to comment.
“I finished my speech; I want to finish my meal,” he said.
. . . . On Saturday, Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Ingrid Lewis-Martin [also a Democrat] attended a birthday party packed with people not wearing masks. She later apologized for doing so.

The general public are being told they cannot have Thanksgiving (or Christmas), cannot hold weddings or funerals, cannot send their children to school, cannot go to the gym or to church, cannot leave their homes during certain hours (without a waiver, granted only to Democrat-favored groups), cannot play sports (even outdoors), cannot attend parties or even hold them in their own home, and the list goes on. And on.
Yet political elites—if they are Democrats—are not just free to do as they please, but they are completely comfortable doing so. They don’t seem to be worried about catching WuFlu themselves or about taking part in a “superspreader event” that will endanger the lives of grandmas everywhere.
It’s a curious thing.

And been saying the tyrants knowing their constituents voted Trump are going to take it out on them.

The average American probably believes the ruling class is better, smarter, whatever than us. I am starting to see things much differently (while I always distrusted them).
Someone over on Breitbart posted this in a comment. I just started it and it’s an interesting read from the start. He lays out a connection between the old Monopolists of 100 years ago and the Socialists and Communists.
Very apropos especially when you see what is going on with media – both broadcast and digital – and large “Made in China” corporations (and retailers). And more.
Here it is, worth at least looking at.
Antony Sutton “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution”

I haven’t read it, but “the old monopolists of 100 years ago” were decent people who got rich by “building that”, and attracted the hatred and envy of the socialist and “Progressive” parasites who believe that since they don’t build anything neither does anyone else. Just the same as today.
The antitrust laws were originally promoted out of raw hatred of John D Rockefeller for daring to be successful, and supported by outright lies about how he was somehow extracting monopoly rents (look that term up if you’re not familiar with it), which he wasn’t and couldn’t.
They claimed that he would operate at a loss for a while in order to drive out competitors, and then once they were gone he would raise prices and make up what he had lost. That was not true, and couldn’t be true because it couldn’t possibly work. If he were to try it then the moment he raised his prices again another competitor would arise, and he’d have to lower them again. And when you’re running at a loss you can’t “make it up in volume”! So the whole story was bunk, but that was what sold the new law that was supposed to punish him and cut him down to size.
“THERE’S MY BIDEN SIGN. DON’T DESTROY ANYTHING.”
With BLM and Antifa, the left unleashed a rabid tiger. They somehow thought it would only go after those icky conservatives. This video from Portland is kind of sad, but the left brought this on themselves, as they now start to find themselves being the prey of the violent creature that they nurtured.
Left-Wing Senior Citizen: “There’s my Biden sign. Don’t Destroy anything. Be peaceful.”

They’re protesting a budget that was passed in secret that increased the money paid for meals for congress while cutting $25m to combat malnutrition that is pervasive in the country. Plus the budget awarded billions for corrupt infrastructure projects instead of helping people
It seems that I hear about many key Republicans getting Covid19, but I cannot remember any Ds getting the virus. Maybe the press just publicizes the Rs.
Of course, if you don’t get tested and just stay home then you are never labeled as being infected.
If you have a mild case of fever, coughs, etc and you do not have to be tested for work purposes or are not worried about infecting others, then delay the test. The positive cases will come down real fast. I was sick, but the doctor opted not to have me be tested since I seemed to be improving. We’ll check with blood work later!
Hmm, good point, Liz. I can’t think of any Democrats (pols) who have been reported as testing positive for, much less actually displaying symptoms of, WuFlu. So of course I did a quick search, and it turns out that back in August there was a report that seven Dems and seven Repubs had tested positive: https://www.news18.com/news/world/7-republicans-7-democrats-heres-every-us-congress-member-hit-by-covid-19-since-outbreak-2750739.html I don’t know the current numbers (and I’m not sure it matters since the story here is that even if Dems were dropping like flies from it, we’d never hear about it . . . but then, they wouldn’t be carrying on their lives as if the WuFlu weren’t the bubonic plague. Which it’s not.)
My guess is that they are not doing the headline blaring for Dems testing positive/showing symptoms because they want Dems to look like the “responsible” party who never contracts the virus because they are all about the masks and social distancing and staying out of crowds, etc. It’s all about the narrative.
looks like somebody is keeping a database

IL Democrat Cheri Bustos, after being thrown under the bus by Peelosi announced she has the China virus.
Those of us on the right (or even center) should get accustomed to this treatment. The new administration and its adherents think we’re Nazis and fascists and have succeeded in silencing our speech on campus and, increasingly, in the wider public square. It’s not such a stretch to think that they’ll conspire to keep us isolated while their takeover continues apace.
^ while, in fact, they themselves are partying like the Gestapo in “Hogan’s Heroes”.
What happens to the frog in the slowly warming water bath, when he “gets used” to the temperature increase? He eventually dies. NEVER “get used” to totalitarian abuses. Fight them at every turn. Remember the “all men are created equal” theory upon which this nation has evolved? Well, once you forget that, you become a slave. People view society as a pyramid. With thee elite at the top and the proles at the bottom. If true, who supports the society? Not the elites. That’s right the rest of us. The other 99% support society, not the 1% at the “top”. On the flip side, it is much easier to replace the 1%, at the top, than it is the 99% holding them up. “When in the course of human events….”
And Eric Adams is one of the saner and more moderate of the Dems. If (as seems likely) I’m still a registered Dem by the time next year’s primaries come around I may well vote for him, since most of his competitors are complete lunatics.
“Earlier today, Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Ingrid Lewis-Martin apologized for not taking COVID precautions at a recent indoor birthday party featuring a number of power brokers.”
But did she also “TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY” for doing that?
Because, you know, that’s super important! It erases all the awshits!
Bwahaha, a bazillion thumbs up!
The Wuhan lockdowns and new restrictions are a joke and will not be enforced over the holidays. Meanwhile, the news on the election fraud is beyond mind blowing.
If anyone still doesn’t understand why “both” parties do nothing about what has been open fraud since Bush declared the NWO in 1989, Syndey Powell explains my routine “there but for the grace of God” argument in great detail:
https://generaldispatch.whatfinger.com/sidney-powell-it-will-be-biblical-trump-won-by-a-landslide-we-can-prove-it-easily-and-this-is-so-massive-it-will-scare-people-details-just-now/
…and there is so much more to come. Pretty much EVERYONE is crooked!
The Trump legal team’s case is not just a take down of the Democrats but also of the Republicans (thank God), media, and bureaucrats. Then there is the massive foreign involvement, corruption on an unimaginable scale.
It occurred to me this this morning what it means for Trump to have won this election in a massive, possibly record landslide. It means that America is still fundamentally strong at the core. The Trump vote was so massive that it overwhelmed the algorithms creating the fraudulent votes. THAT is what broke any hope of the Deep State to cover up the fraud. Their carefully laid out plans suddenly collapsed into such a fiasco, that even those perpetuating it rushed forward to testify against it. This wasn’t a couple of investigative reporters finally finding a file or audio tap but an avalanche of repulsed insiders volunteering to rat out the operation at all levels and with hard evidence. An epic implosion.
I would like to thank my fellow trolls and others, those of us who have been pounding away at this for so many years, for staying with it despite suffering so much abuse from everyone. I am especially thankful for my fellow Tea Partiers who I believe turned the tide There WAS a massive conspiracy. It is no longer theory but fact! We weren’t a bunch of crazy lunatics!
It is so inspiring and such a relief to learn that behind all of the fraudulent polling, corrupt reporting and rigged elections, the vast majority of Americans got it and were voting patriotically. There were many more of us than I dared suspected.
I can’t imagine yet how it will feel once this all comes out later this week. There will so many people forced to eat shit, especially the crooked GOP polymorphic traitors who circled the wagons protecting the it all. Let the house cleaning begin!
Excellent recap, Phil. You nailed it!
I’d wager that most Trump supporters are Moderates, with views and values that may bleed into both left of center and right of center, and are primarily honest, hard working, want small Government, less spending, a restoration of our slowly eroding Freedoms, and a Sovereign and self-sufficient Nation. And President Donald J. Trump volunteered to stand up for us and lead the charge.
I’m glad you mentioned Bush and his New World Order. He may have been affiliated with the GOP but he and the rest of his ilk are/were Globalists and built a lot of what has survived as the Deep State. They placed our Nation in a cool pot on a warm stove like we were a frog in their sadistic dinner plans. I never believed “conspiracy theories” back then, though I could see the foreign connections and the thirst they had for power at any cost.
Now, in light of all that’s happened, I am seeing all the connections and I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are many actors, both domestic and foreign, that are playing is for fools and milking us as cash cows to further their sick (narcissistic and sociopathic) quests for power and control.
Case in point about the GOP:
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/11/22/gop-sen-cramer-its-past-time-to-start-a-transition-to-biden-administration/
It seems that outside of Ted Cruz and maybe Rand Paul, the entire GOP side the Senate is cheering for Biden. Even Tom Cotton chastised Giuliani and Powers for having that press conference.
And then there are the GOP governors and Secretaries of State:

Trump is fighting EVERYBODY! Especially the rats in his own party!
For those Republicans who are trying to keep us Trumpers on board as they betray us, screw you! I AM going to switch back to being an unaffiliated independent if Trump doesn’t prevail. I am NEVER going to kneel to the Uniparty. We can’t seem to vote those guys out even in a landslide!

OOPS. My bad.

FOLKS WE DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THIS CRAP.
Glad you woke up, Phil.
I mean, there was certainly nothing suspicious about every single country on the face of the planet shutting down their societies and economies in exactly the same way at the same time for a super flu virus. No, just good old fashioned common sense. There was nothing suspicious about the news media hyping the dangers of the virus to apocalyptic levels without a shred of evidence. Nothing suspicious about positive tests for exposure being touted as active cases and deaths from trauma; including falls, auto accidents and homicides and suicides; being touted as covid deaths. And, it was in no way suspicious that the stock markets would not only remain relatively stable but even increase to new record highs when the global economy was in free fall. This, of course, produced no suspicion that there was actually a global Establishment run by extremely wealthy interests which exercised large scale control over government and other interests. It was all simply coincidence.
Then we have the Uniparty. Republicans promised to repeal Obamacare, for years, while they were in no position to actually do so. They even introduced several bill to do just that. But, once they were in a position to repeal Obamacare, they refused to do so. Why? Because Obamacare was an Establishment program and the GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Establishment. They do not answer to the people, they answer to their masters who control the money.
Now, the problem with house cleaning, is that it is not of much use if your house is falling down from termite infestations and general rot. The first thing that you have to do is determine if the house can be saved. Then you have to decide if you want to live in it while it is being rebuilt. Wait too long and there not be anything to save. Have we waited too long? We’ll see.
Please explain how I just “woke up”.
Let’s crank up the way-back machine, shall we. April, 2020, I proclaimed tht COVID-19 was not especially dangerous and that all actions taken to combat it were going to be nothing more than window dressing to allow for draconian social change. Surprise, surprise, surprise. The Dems don’t bother to follow their own guidelines, because the know BS when they smell it. Well, now the rest of our society is beginning to identify that smell, as well.
Once Biden is certified, all of these BS restrictions will dissipate. They will no longer serve a political purpose and will gradually evaporate. Of course, an incredible amount of damage will already have been done. But, you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.
“Once Biden is certified, all of these BS restrictions will dissipate. They will no longer serve a political purpose and will gradually evaporate.”
Are you sure about this. They now know they can make random, dictatorial edicts, and use a forever crisis to rule in this way. With all the non-stop lies, even if COVID goes away, well…. Global Warming is an EXISTENTIAL THREAT, so ANYTHING goes and is justified to stop the extermination of all of humanity, maybe even the extermination of 99% so the remaining 1% can live in a “sustainable world.” And of course, that 1% should be the smartest and brightest of the human species, as evidenced by the superior wealth and Ivey League degrees, and they, for the benefit of all humankind, should have the very best looking and most fit stock to bread with to create the Ubermensch, mien Fuhrer!
