While D.C. Democrats try to impeach now-former President Trump, a constitutionally-questionable but revealing move – seems they can’t believe Biden won, either – the Democratic governors of the nation’s two largest states, California and New York, are in crisis mode.

A senior aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo – son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo – has now confessed to covering up the numbers of nursing home deaths caused by the Wuhan virus, which should doom Cuomo’s political present, let alone future. The poor dears were worried big bad President Trump was going to use the data against them politically, so they decided to lie to the public.

Last March, as the Wuhan virus took hold, Cuomo notoriously ordered infected elderly patients to return to their nursing home residence, where the virus would spread like, well, a highly contagious virus. In the U.S., 34% of all Wuhan-related deaths have been in nursing homes.

Cuomo claimed there had been 8,500 Wuhan-caused deaths in New York nursing home. Turns out it was nearly 15,000 people who died.

A man of any trace of honor would have resigned his office, but the days of honor seem lost, a relic of another time. Only chumps resign office these days, it seems.

Meanwhile, in California, the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom is on. The recall campaign reports it has obtained the required 1.5 million petition signatures, a month ahead of the St. Patrick’s Day deadline. Once the signatures are confirmed, the state Secretary of State – Democrat Shirley Weber – will schedule a recall election, likely in the fall.

The only other California governor to be recalled successfully was Democrat Gray Davis in 2003, replaced by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. So far, Republican John Cox, the Republican candidate who lost to Newsom in 2018, has announced his intention to run again, as has the former mayor of San Diego, Republican Kevin Faulconer.

Trump’s former ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, appears set to run as well.

The media will be disappointed to know that one-time Bruce-named Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner has declined to run. The media’s loss is sanity’s gain.

Some strategists claim Grenell’s candidacy will doom the effort at unseating Newsom, turning the election into a contest between Newsom and a Trumpist. But that ignores the dynamics of a California recall election.

On the recall ballot, voters will be asked two questions: shall Newsome be recalled, and, if so, who shall be governor? If more than 50% vote to recall Newsom, then whoever gains the majority of the remaining vote wins. Which means Grenell needs only a plurality of votes, not a majority, to be elected. With Trump still seeing strong support among Republican voters, dismissing Grenell’s chances would be unwise.

Unless I oversleep you will be able to catch me on Fault lines radio at 8:15 tomorrow morning.

The scheduled topic is Tucker Carlson’s remarks I’ll be basing a lot of my response on this piece from Stacy McCain here

Of course it’s my experience that when I’m on faults lines you never know where the conversation will go so tune in.

You can listen here.

I was and still am a big fan of President Trump’s use of social media to bypass the media filter and communicate directly with the people. Furthermore as alternates to Twitter, and other social platforms develop I would encourage him to prepare for a big return to make the case for America actually trying to serve Americans…

…just not yet.

At the moment we have Biden voters in shock as promises are not kept, jobs are lost and prices increase while the Democrats with control of the house, senate and the White House sit behind barbed wire guarded by troops and do nothing.

Every day this goes on is a disaster for the left and the deep state that serves it, meanwhile court cases unfavorable to this administration (including cases concerning the steal of the election) continue to move forward ready to bite them even worse.

If the Democrats had someone capable of communicating they might be able to distract the public from these failures but I suspect Joe Biden likely has only a few cogent hours a day and these have to be guarded as jealously as possible.

Right now they need a distraction, impeachment isn’t working because nobody’s paying attention to it, what they really want, really need is Trump.

Their combined hatred of the president was the only thing uniting them so they will do all they can to bait him into changing the subject from Joe Biden and his administrations failures which given that he’s been in office less than a month are quite impressive.

I suspect there will be a moment when the people will cry for relief and when none comes it will boil over to the point where the already draconian censorship brigade becomes oppressive enough for people to demand change.

Now I suspect President Trump is smart enough to pick the right moment to return to the stage to highlight the failures of the left in contrast to his successes, and when that moment comes it will be glorious and devastating to the left in general and the Democrats and Biden Administration in particular, but until that right moment comes simply enjoying life and watching them squirm as he does so (perhaps throwing a feint or two to keep them wondering what he’s up to) will frustrate these idiots to no end.

They’ll figure out quickly that they would have been better off not stealing the election & dealing with a lame duck Trump vs a threat in being.
