[American Thinker] Fresh on the heels of the Sacramento Bee's criticism of Gavin Newsom's multi-family extravaganza at the famous French Laundry, a swanky $350-a-person-before-the-wine-is-ordered restaurant in Yountville, California, and after having his wrist slapped by the state Judiciary for exceeding his constitutional authority in issuing emergency lockdown orders, he's decided that he really doesn't care what the plebs of his state think or what the law says about his executive limitations. He's locking the state down again. The reason, as he and the media would have you believe, is that California is experiencing a surge in positive COVID-19 tests, having just crossed the one million mark in cases. You're supposed to focus on that big, scary number and not Gavin Newsom's blatant hypocrisy or his unlawful executive overreach, and certainly not the many questions swirling about the looming prospect of the Trump legal team's potentially exposing massive election fraud, which could have an enormous impact on the future of our republic. Nope, cases are rising, and we're at a million in California, so it's time to pull the "emergency brake" and make California miserable again.
The recent surge in cases might serve as pretty convincing evidence that the stupid rags we've been forced to wear over our faces for the past months don't actually do anything to prevent the spread of COVID. It certainly doesn't suggest that there's any legitimate reason for another lockdown in California.
This is a totally manufactured crisis, and we can prove it with basic information that anyone can find.
As of November 15, California has a seven-day rolling average of 8,484 new cases per day. That's not the peak for the year, mind you. We saw an average of 9,561 back on July 24.
