“…“I was madly trying to hold on to a slice of my brother”…Hunter wrote…”
Yeah, but cutting a slice with his brother’s widow; what father wouldn’t support THAT?!?
While it’s true our Presidents and their families haven’t always been morally pure (for example, JFK cavorting with female interns in the White House pool, Bill Clinton’s activities with same in Oval Office, RFK’s affair with Marilyn Monroe, Roger Clinton’s numerous nefarious enterprises or Neil Bush’s influence peddling), the criminal enterprise that is the Biden family is establishing a level of moral depravity and corruption hitherto unrealized in our country.
“There is no more accurate way of describing last night’s 60 Minutes segment on Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida than as a political hit job. It was an aspersion, a slander, a smear — a calculated and premeditated calumny contrived for one purpose and one purpose alone: To hint darkly at scandal where none exists, and, thereby, to damage DeSantis in 2022 and beyond. Americans who tuned in to 60 Minutes yesterday are now less informed than they were before it aired.
The supposed “problem” that 60 Minutes highlighted was that Florida’s government has used the popular grocery chain Publix to help it distribute COVID-19 vaccines, that Publix gave $100,000 to Governor DeSantis’s re-election efforts last year, and that the combination of the two represents a quid pro quo.
This claim is absurd on its face. Not only is Publix the largest and most widely trusted grocery-store chain in the state of Florida, but the majority of its 831 stores in the state have well-equipped pharmacies at which Floridians are accustomed to getting flu shots. Irrespective of any other logistical considerations, it would have been surprising if Publix had not been one of the major players in the state’s effort. It is true that Publix has recently given $100,000 to Ron DeSantis’s gubernatorial reelection bid. It is also true that it gave a million dollars to the progressive Urban League last year, and that, back in 2018, it gave $100,000 to Democratic campaigns in the state. To believe that there is a connection between this routine behavior and decisions that were made during an unforeseen once-in-a-century pandemic is to stretch oneself to the breaking point.
The producers of 60 Minutesknow this, which is why they edited out the portion of Governor DeSantis’s answer that explains beyond question why Publix was chosen for its role…
…The show did not note that CVS and Walgreens got the vaccine first; it did not explain the difference between the strategy for long-term-care facilities and the strategy for the broader population; it did not mention that Walmart was also used in the delivery of vaccines to the general public; it did not reference the work DeSantis has done extending the state’s effort to minority communities; and, crucially, it did not make clear that the reason Publix was so prominent in the second phase of vaccinations was that it was the first grocery chain to be ready. Instead, the show took two facts that in no way intersect and pretended that they had a causal relationship. There is a word for that sort of conduct, but it’s not “journalism.”…”
DeSantis received support from more than one unlikely source, including Democrat Dave Kerner, mayor of Palm Beach, who noted…
“The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false,” Kerner said in a statement on Monday. “I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and ‘60 Minutes’ declined. They know that the governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the county administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County.“
…as well as Jared Moskowitz, Florida’s emergency management director, who remembers he first reached out to Walmart, which has more locations than Publix in “socially vulnerable, rural areas of the state. But the chain wouldn’t be ready to distribute the vaccine for several weeks, so he reached out to Publix:
“Publix said they could be ready in 72 hours,” said Moskowitz, who is a Democrat. “Ipicked Publix.”“
Which begs three questions: First, who are the producers of 60 Minutes, Dan Rather and Brian Williams? Second, given its utter detachment from the truth, why would anyone continue to watch the show in the future? Third, and far more importantly, why any Republican agree to be interviewed by such patent propagandists?!?
Since we’re on the subject of patent propagandists, such are the subjects of eight more items specially selected for inquiring minds:
(1). The Epoch Times informs us data indicates YouTube has deleted 2.5 million ‘dislikes’ from Biden White House videos.
(2). As Townhall.com‘s Leah Barkoukis reports, Georgia’s Raphael Warnock deleted this Easter tweet after critics correctly accused him of heresy:
(3). The Journal reports Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is calling for a global minimum corporate tax rate, claiming, “Competitiveness is about more than how U.S.-headquartered companies fare against other companies in global merger and acquisition bids. It is about making sure that governments have stable tax systems that raise sufficient revenue to invest in essential public goods and respond to crises, and that all citizens fairly share the burden of financing government.”
Welcome to the new world order. In reality, Yellen’s plan would enable Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia to bleed shareholders while preserving the personal positions, power and wealth of cooperative corporate officers.
