-Lurid Crime Tales-
Why is Cuomo Being Thrown Under the COVID-Con Bus?
A convenient Cover For Action quite similar to the baseless Russian accusations against Donald Trump that plunged Clinton's Foggy Bottom misdeeds down the media memory hole.
[American Thinker] Less than a year ago, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was a darling of the left over his "leadership" in managing the COVID pandemic in his state. Last April, his daily press conferences were covered in full by Fox News and the other more sycophantic media networks, coverage on par with President Trump’s daily briefings.

None of the other 49 state governors’ press conferences received daily coverage by national media. In Colorado, Governor Polis’s press briefings were only shown on local news channels.

#1  Purchased legal theater. Accusations that while salacious, are difficult to prove. Notice the openness of the accusers (names, photos, media segments, etc.)

Here's $125,000. now, and another $125,000. when you drop your complaint or case at a time and date which our legal team (which is also your pro bono legal team), will determine. A failing memory is a terrible thing. Our legal team will try to soften the impact. What are your questions.

Why just CUOMO?
The Socialist Democrats need a sacrificial lamb to appease the masses.

He will fill that need and deflect enough attention; from many others for now, for their collective Screw-ups, Manipulating Lies and political agenda handling of the ConVid-19.

At least until the Scamdemic is declared under control in the next few months. At which time it should be President Harris and VP Nancy taking full credit.

That and the same media has been terrifying them using death rate statistics built on those same nursing homes and folks are just glad the grim reaper didn't come knocking.

I'm not sure polls of uninformed people mean much. The left live in a media bubble that is sort of terrifying.

#12  Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsom, et. al. were tasked with bumping up the death toll to make covid the big, scary monster that justified the cheat-by-mail scheme which in turn put Biden/Harris into office. Now the women accusing Cuomo of sexual harassment are squirrels tasked with putting the hounds off the trail and we all know how easily distracted the hounds are these days. And with Cuomo forced out of office, the story goes down the Memory Hole. Cuomo wouldn't dare rat on his fellow conspirators, now, would he? Would he? Did he find a horse's head in his bed yet? I mean, if they could get to Epstein, they could get to just about anybody. Try to save face with denials, Andy, but then resign...and go away.

OK, it's just a conspiracy theory. But the pieces fit. And just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they wouldn't.

Black officer is fired by Tampa police for using the N-word
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Delvin White was fired Tuesday for 'violations of policy that prohibit discriminatory conduct', according to the Tampa Police Department

  • The 8 year department veteran was a resource officer at Middleton High School

  • He is said to have used the N-word while on the phone and directly to a person he was arresting on November 30, The Tampa Bay Times reported

  • White was recorded using both the slur and the word 'ghetto' to reference a group of people while on the phone and driving home on November 13

  • He later used it again while talking on the phone with his wife

  • White told his supervisor he did not mean for the word to be derogatory

  • The Tampa Police Benevolent Association said in a statement it is backing White

-Land of the Free
YouTube Blacklists Donald Trump's CPAC Speech, Suspends RSBN Channel
[BREITBART] The Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), a conservative news broadcaster, received a two-week suspension from YouTube because it covered President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
’s speech at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

The video nearly accumulated 4 million views before being censored by the Google-owned platform.

The official Twitter account of RSBN reported the news.

"RSBN has been suspended from YouTube for two weeks because of the Trump #CPAC2021 speech, which violated their guidelines on election misinformation. The video was approaching 4 million views. They have also removed it from their platform."

RSBN said that it could have avoided a two-week suspension had it added "countervailing viewspoints" to President Trump’s claims about election irregularities. In other words, it was only permissible to upload Trump’s speech if RSBN also criticized it.

"It’s worth noting that according to YouTube’s terms, our video of Trump’s CPAC speech would have been allowed to stay up had we provided "countervailing viewpoints"’, said RSBN in a statement. "Essentially we would have had to go on air and say everything Trump just said about election fraud is not true."

"We won’t censor President Trump or push back against things he says that, quite frankly, we agree with."

Senate passes Biden's $1.9 trillion relief package including $1,400 stimulus checks
[Yahoo Money] The Senate passed President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package on Saturday, sending the amended bill back for a vote in the House followed by the president signing the legislation.

The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 50-to-49 to pass the "American Rescue Plan" through reconciliation. Because some provisions were amended in the Senate, the legislation must go back to the House that passed an earlier version of it last week.

"When Democrats assumed the majority in this chamber, we promised to pass legislation to rescue our people from the depths of the pandemic and bring our economy and our country roaring back," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said from the Senate floor before the vote. "In a few moments, we are going to deliver on that promise."

The legislation got support from the entire Democratic caucus in the Senate. No Republican Senators voted for the legislation. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) was not present for the vote.

"We could have worked together," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said from the Senate floor before the vote. "Our Democratic colleagues made a decision their top priority wasn't pandemic relief, it was a Washington wish list."

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 02: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks during a weekly news conference at the U.S. Capitol on March 2, 2021 in Washington, DC. Senate Democrats held a news conference to answer questions from members of the press. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

While the House version of the bill included a minimum wage increase to $15, the provision wasn't included in the final version the Senate voted on after the chamber's parliamentarian ruled that the measure can't be passed using the budget reconciliation process.

The stimulus checks income thresholds also were amended and the weekly unemployment benefits were reduced from $400 to $300 in the Senate version. The latest legislation also forgives taxes on up to $10,200 in unemployment benefits.

What's in the bill?

The legislation includes stimulus payments, the extension of key unemployment programs that are set to lapse in the spring, aid to small businesses, around $350 billion to state and local governments, an increase in tax credits for low- and middle-income families, and $160 billion for a national program on vaccination and testing.

Biden: 'Indian-Descent Americans Are Taking Over the Country'
Snip, key parts in the middle somewhere.
[PJ Media] President Biden on Thursday made one of his most head-turning comments since being sworn in when he told an Indian American aerospace engineer that immigrants from the subcontinent are "taking over" the US.

"It’s amazing. Indian-descent Americans are taking over the country — you, my vice president, my speechwriter," Biden told Swati Mohan, NASA’s guidance and controls operations lead for the Mars Perseverance rover landing.

This isn’t Biden’s first cringeworthy remark about Indian-Americans. There was this classic from the ’08 campaign trail:

"In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."

Well, Obama obviously didn’t mind.

Is this stuff racist? I dunno. It doesn’t seem racist to me, no matter who’s saying it. I don’t think Joe Biden has hate in his heart when he says these stupid, stupid things. He thinks he’s relating to people by saying this crap about them. He’s not racist, he’s just old.

Cuomo’s Aides Massively Undercounted COVID Nursing Home Deaths in Report
[THEDAILYBEAST] Aides to New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo altered a public report on COVID-19 nursing home deaths so that the fatality numbers excluded a huge number of those who died in hospitals, The Wall Street Journal reports. Sources cited by the Journal said Cuomo’s advisers convinced health officials to limit the corpse count to those who had died of the virus in long-term nursing home facilities, excluding all of those who fell sick in such facilities but later passed away in hospitals. The July report consequently showed that only 6,432 nursing home patients died, a figure that represented a massive undercount. The actual corpse count is more than 15,000.

Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s top aide, had previously admitted to politicians that the state withheld COVID-19 nursing home death numbers so that the tally could not "be used against us." The governor has been under mounting scrutiny over the state’s nursing home deaths in light of his July 2020 decision to direct nursing homes to accept coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
-positive patients after their discharge from hospital. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are said to have shown an interest in the July report. Beth Garvey, a special counsel and senior adviser to Cuomo, told the Journal that "the out-of-facility data was omitted [from the report] after DOH could not confirm it had been adequately verified."

#5  Using the 1000 bed USNS COMFORT hospital ship and emergency field hospitals which President Trump supplied was totally out of the question. The Democratic Scamdemic needed bodies, lots of bodies.

Somewhere there must be a local directive with signatures, or verbal directives that banned the use of these resources. Perhaps those signatures or conversations can be recovered or produced in testimony.

Lastly, did the nursing homes somehow profit from an influx of sick, elderly people. Who owns these facilities? Who owns the medical conveyances that delivered the sick people to the homes.

Just a couple of questions that might need to be run to ground.

#6  I seem to vaguely recall some legislation from a few years ago Grandma Killer was supporting on behalf of the nursing homes or something like that.

Oh, yeah, those necro-nursing homes make lots of dough. In fact, it's been said that administrators do not want to tell next of kin if their loved ones are sick with COVID for fear of moving them out. These vermin hide information from the loved ones for profit. I wish they would hang right next to Grandma Killer.

#8  #7 How many world policies were based on infection numbers created by this idiot's nursing home policy?

None. You see, what "covid-skeptics" refuse to understand is that death-rate is not constant. If there are more severely sick people than the appropriate medical care available, the "excess" severely sick will all die - in best case scenario. In worst case scenario, friends & relative of the people refused appropriate care burn hospitals = everybody (except the really rich/powerful) die.

#2  I guess, it depends what goal or targets this admistration has on its plate.

If the objective is to make the "Regime or Government of Iran" a non entity, persona non grata, then don't refer to them at all officially.

If the objective is to make the military a target, without necessarily make the people under civilian control the target, then continue with this line of speech.

Continue to obfuscate your position by "thinly slicing the cheese", when refering to the target or objective goal. i.e. 'what the hell does this mean' statements or pronouncements.

#6  Or maybe it's actually a slip of tongue. I've heard several people refer to them as 'the shias' or twelvers, and the syrians as 'those alawite'. It results from having too many sunni friends, I presume.
