Wuhan virus -
India suffering from an oxygen shortage as its health care system is swamped by wuhan hospitalizations.

US vaccination sites are closing from California to Texas, Ohio to Mississippi as demand for Covid shots plummets across the country - despite less than 28% of the population being fully inoculated. As of Friday, just shy of 42 percent of Americans - and nearly 53 percent of adults 18 and older - have had at least one dose of vaccine.
OBSERVATION - many see the administration resorting to more coercive measures to get people to take the ‘vaccine’ - even revisiting the vaccine ‘passport’ issue. Numerous states have stepped up to deny/repudiate any such ‘passport’ as well as there being significant legal obstacles - even if created by the ‘private’ sector - as experimental drugs cannot be mandated for use. Anyone who chooses not to vaccinate will ultimately be blamed for the inevitable and continual failure of the covid-19 vaccines. This shaming tactic has already been identified and put in practice by the mainstream media.

The Food and Drug Administration ended its recommended pause on the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine on Friday and will add a warning to its label to note the potential risk of rare blood clots.

Globalism / Great Reset -
Gov Newscum announced that California is now the first state to declare an end to oil extraction in the country. “Today, we’re announcing that we will phase out all oil extraction — as part of a world-leading effort to achieve carbon neutrality — and ban fracking by 2024.” All extraction will cease by 2045.

biden calling for emissions to be reduced by 50% by 2030. Automotive companies have endorsed the ‘plan’, but like most liberal wet dreams this will only further destroy the economy. See economy below.

Economy -
biden’s increasing the capitol gains to 28% reportedly will cause the loss of $720 billion in GDP over 10 years - a number that slightly exceeds the estimated $694 billion of tax revenue that would be raised over 10 years after accounting for the smaller economy.

The global supply chain continues to be broken and one of the latest impacts to be felt will be disposable diapers. (CNN) Procter & Gamble (PG) said Tuesday that it will raise prices on brands such as Pampers diapers and Always and Tampax tampons, the latest consumer goods’ manufacturer to hike what it charges retailers. The exact amount of price increases will vary by brand, but will be in the mid-to-high single digit percentage range, P&G said. They will go into effect in mid-September. The company will also raise prices on Always Discreet adult incontinence products and Luvs diapers.

Invasion of Illegals -
VP Harris hasn’t visited the southern border in over 30 days since been put in charge of the fiasco. But apparently she’s provided a children’s book she wrote to the illegals.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stopped fining illegal aliens who refused to depart the United States, the agency revealed. In an announcement on Friday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated that the agency has stopped issuing fines to illegal aliens who refused to depart the U.S. despite previously stating that they would depart.

Biden watch -
In a climate change video call, biden was the only speaker wearing a mask and there was no US flag in the image. Biden pledged to cut U.S. emissions from 2005 levels by up to 52% by the end of this decade.

In a phonecall to Turkey’s Erdogan, biden told him he will call the Armenian massacres a genocide. Saturday is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, and he would be the first U.S. president in 40 years to publicly recognize the 1915 mass killings as a genocide.

CW2/Domestic violence -
Scattered BLM/Antifa riots present across the county in the usual hot spots. The likelihood of violence and rioting this weekend remains high as Far Left groups are committed to demanding the total abolition of police. “All Cops are Derek Chauvin” has become a popular rallying cry in Far Left chat rooms where activists continue to organize protests and direct action demonstrations. Multiple groups are already looking ahead to August, when the other former Minneapolis police officers implicated in the death of George Floyd are set to begin their trials. The death of Ma’Khia Bryant is the latest incident that Far Left groups have latched onto for protests and calls for abolition. Almost any police involved shooting will likely be used to stir up unrest. Some legal experts such as Andrew F. Branca, a respected criminal law attorney, are predicting Chauvin will return to court due to credible “grounds for reversal of a conviction.” Any movement to appeal or reverse the conviction of Chauvin is likely to spark another wave of Far Left violence.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed legislation Wednesday that will protect drivers who injure or kill demonstrators while attempting to escape a riot, in addition to increasing penalties for individuals who intentionally block roadways. This follows a protest by BLM/Antifa members that forced their way in to the legislature halls to stop the bill.

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte on Friday signed a bill that prohibits state and local law enforcement in Montana from enforcing federal bans on firearms, ammunition and magazines. Supporters of the law have said it would protect the Second Amendment from stiffer gun control laws that could come from federal legislation or executive orders by President Joe Biden. Montana is one of at least a dozen states that have sought to nullify new gun restrictions this year.

Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, pro-BLM/Antifa, is pushing back following recent violence. “I’ve extended the state of emergency through the weekend. Our job is to unmask them, arrest them, and prosecute them. I want to personally thank neighbors, family, friends and others who have come forward with vital evidence. People know who these criminals are. They know what they’re up to. If you have any information, please contact the police. Acting Chief Davis will provide specifics shortly. I also want you to know that these people often arrive at their so-called direct actions, in cars. And they’re all dressed in all black. If you see this, call the police. If you can provide a license plate, if you can do so safely, that information can help later. Together we can make a stand. We’re doing what we can today. I’m also asking for your help to make a stand and take our city back.”
NOTE - He has tied the hands of the police in arresting and virtually no rioter has been charged and jailed in any of the violence over the course of the past year plus.

Globalism / Great Reset -
Rumors coming out of biden’s climate plan has extreme measures such as limiting American beef consumption to 4 lbs / year. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has reportedly said that farmers and ranchers would be “given incentives” (welfare) to stop farming and ranching.

_____________________________

Economy -
Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index — which tracks key farm products — surged the most in almost nine years, driven by a rally in crop futures. With global food prices already at the highest since mid-2014, this latest jump is being closely watched because staple crops are a ubiquitous influence on grocery shelves — from bread and pizza dough to meat and even soda.
NOTE - Stock up NOW!

The U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Friday reported a 20.7% increase on sales of new single-family houses at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.021 million units up from 846,000 in February. Home sales skyrocketed 66.8% above the March 2020 estimate of 612,000 home sales when the pandemic first hit, according to the data.
OBSERVATIONS - Two major drivers. 1) Incredibly low interest rates. and 2) one of the largest mass movements of people in the country since the Great Depression out of blue states and into red states.

Invasion of Illegals -
Biden is reportedly moving to significantly increase the number of migrants released into the U.S. who were apprehended by U.S. officials for trying to illegally enter the country BY 800% according to sources. U.S. officials believe they will encounter 2 million migrants illegally trying to enter the U.S. southern border this year.

Now we find out VP Harris is privately profiting from her little book, U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to buy the books to give to children who came to the U.S. illegally.

More rocket and mortar fire from Gaza into southern Israel overnight. In Gaza media reports the Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades (militant wing of the Popular Resistance Committees) has announced a general mobilization within its ranks. Fire from Gaza reportedly ‘supporting’ riots in Jerusalem and other areas with a higher palestinian population.

Rioting reported in Al-Bireh, a Palestinian city in the West Bank, about 15km north of Jerusalem. Clashes continue throughout the area. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday called for “calm on all sides” after several nights of unrest in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem. Riots are associated with the month of Ramadan.

Iran -
A fuel tanker was allegedly attacked near Syrian coast by a ‘drone’. 3 reported dead. “Russia Today” website quotes sources in the city of Baniyas, who denied that an oil tanker was targeted, saying that the aforementioned tanker “suffered a fire accident due to negligence and lack of safety measures during its unloading.” The tanker is not an Iranian vessel, but a Beirut-registered tanker called WISDOM. She has assisted the Iranian VLCC supertanker ARMAN 114 (ex. ADRIAN DARYA-1) by offloading 300-350K barrels at a time due to depth restrictions.

France -
A group of former and current French military personnel signed an open letter this week warning of the imminent danger posed by so-called anti-racist ideology, and urging French President Emmanuel Macron to work quickly to prevent a civil war. The letter, published in French magazine Valeurs Actuelles, was signed by 20 former French generals, 100 officers and over 1,000 other military personnel. It accused the French government of kowtowing to destructive ideologies such as anti-racism and Islamism, which it said were being leveraged for the purposes of sowing unrest in French communities and risking a descent into full-blown civil war.
OBSERVATION - When France gets real, it is getting real.
