Like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees in yet another lame sequel, the erstwhile Love Gov Andrew Cuomo is back from the dead. His fellow moonbats at Newsweek report that he is leading the polls to become the next mayor of New York.

No doubt Mayor Cuomo will help NYC get its financial house in order. Just kidding. A recently released audit report reminds us how irresponsible he was during Covid as governor:

The state government poured $453 million into building an enormous stockpile of medical equipment — and only used 0.000012% of it.

No worries; it’s someone else’s money.

New York bought a staggering 247,343 medical devices, but only wound up using a laughable three pieces of equipment out of the vast horde.

The waste was compounded by letting the equipment rot away in warehouses rather than selling it.

Of the equipment that requires ongoing maintenance, auditors found that 90% of it is past due, with no process or contract in place to handle that need. Failure to keep up with maintenance risks voiding manufacturer warranties, and also rendering the equipment unusable in an emergency.

No doubt the pricey devices will end up in a landfill — where Cuomo’s political career belongs.

The flagrant waste pales in comparison to the lives Cuomo took by forcing nursing homes to admit Covid patients. He may face criminal prosecution for lying about it.

The many advantages of racial privilege include exemption from vaccine mandates. From 2020:

“Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events,” explains Cornell Health’s vaccine requirement FAQ.

So they could request a racial exemption.

As always where moonbattery prevails, favored groups get special treatment on the patently absurd grounds that they are oppressed. Drones Ivy League Cornell:

We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to [COVID-19 testing and flu vaccine] requirements.

Caucasians have had concerns too. But their concerns don’t matter, because they are “oppressors” according to woke dogma.

Considering the questions surrounding the Covid jab and the likelihood of another pandemic being in the works, a policy like Cornell’s — if rigorously implemented — might one day allow liberals to achieve their dream of a world without white people.

They cut off their own children’s genitals to make them LGBT-compliant or even tear them to pieces in the womb. So they won’t lose any sleep over a 12-year-old girl being denied a heart transplant because her family wouldn’t give her the Covid jab:

Adaline Deal, a distant relative of [JD Vance] by marriage through his half-siblings, was born with two rare heart conditions that her family knew would one day require a transplant, her mother Janeen Deal told The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Adaline — who was adopted from China when she was 4 — was treated at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for nearly 10 years, and her parents hoped she would get the transplant there.

But the hospital requires transplant patients to be vaccinated, and declined to make an exemption even when told it goes against the family’s religious beliefs as nondenominational Christians, the parents said.

When will Covid tyranny end? When they launch the next pandemic.

Moonbats so enjoyed the snug repression that characterized Covid-19 hysteria, they may never let go of it. This event evidently occurred only a few days ago in ultrawoke Portland:

It’s no problem if some people want to live in a cult worshiping their own neurosis. The problem comes when people like this achieve authority over others.

Never mind the Teamsters and the MSM. If you really want to measure the chasm between the degenerate liberal ruling class and those it rules over, look to the people who imposed Covid tyranny:

New York City, with a population of over 8.8 million, had some of the most iron-fisted COVID lockdown policies in America. While the ridiculous, unscientific COVID policies in America’s largest city, which is run almost exclusively by Democrats, were destroying businesses and lives, the person in charge of setting those policies was hosting private sex parties with his wife on Wall Street.

The Mug Club caught Mayor Bill De Blasio’s Covid czar Jay Varma on hidden camera bragging about indulging in sex parties even while imposing authoritarian Covid mandates.

“I had to be kind of sneaky about it,” he told the female reporter. “I was running the entire COVID response for the city. We rented a hotel—we all took like, you know, Molly/Ecstacy. 8 to 10 of us were in a room. Like just being naked with friends…” he explained.

Remember this creep when leftists inevitably announce another pandemic:

Donald Trump is responsible for all wrongdoing by Democrats. He is to blame for them opening the border, with devastating consequences that are only just beginning to unfold. He is even responsible for Andrew Cuomo killing thousands of seniors during Covid hysteria. Just ask Cuomo:

Cuomo testified before a congressional subcommittee Tuesday and pushed back on allegations that he and his top aides manipulated fatality data in 2020 to shift blame from a controversial directive that his critics have said caused thousands of nursing home deaths. …

[The hearing] degenerated at times to fingerpointing as Cuomo and Democrats on the subcommittee blamed former President Donald J. Trump for any failures with the pandemic response…

The subcommittee’s investigation had focused on a March 25, 2020, directive that had been issued by the state Department of Health instructing New York’s more than 600 nursing homes to accept residents even if they had tested positive for COVID-19.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is not buying Cuomo’s attempts to shift the blame to Trump:

“You are culpable for this,” Stefanik told the former governor. “There are families sitting here. I want you to turn around, look them in the eye, and apologize, which you have failed to do.”

Although it is unlikely Cuomo will ever be held meaningfully accountable for the needless deaths he inflicted, at least the former Luv Gov won’t sit down for a week after this kick in the pants:

What the liberal media has done to journalism in its efforts to defend and empower the Democratic Party, the federal medical establishment as personified by megalomaniacal bureauweenie Anthony Fauci has done to science. In the aftermath of Covid tyranny, it will be some time before the public trusts The Experts again:

In the liberal religion, Fauci is a deity. Moonbats burn votive candles in worship of him. The leftist mayor of the District of Corruption declared his birthday a holiday. Michigan’s likeminded governor snuggles with a Tony Fauci pillow. To honor his many lies, academia bestowed upon him an ethics prize.

Let’s not forget this when they launch Disease X.

On a tip from WDS 2.0.

It’s the weekend; let’s lighten the mood with a hearty laugh:

The Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence at Case Western Reserve University will award Dr. Anthony Fauci, a physician, immunologist, and infectious disease expert, with the 2024 Inamori Ethics Prize.

Fauci made a name for himself as not only the most grotesquely overpaid but also one of the most arrogantly dishonest bureaurats ever to infest the DC swamp.

That he is a liar, not even Fauci himself is dishonest enough to dispute. He admitted that he lied to the public about herd immunity, moving the goal posts based on what figures he thought the public would believe.

Fauci misused his power to impose the “natural occurrence” Covid narrative long after we knew it was a joke. He did this to hide his own culpability for Covid’s existence. It appears highly likely that it was engineered in a probable bioweapons lab with funding he helped provide and that he knew this from the beginning.

Fauci is a felon for lying to Congress. Demands from prominent senators that he be criminally prosecuted are ignored because Fauci benefits from our two-tiered justice system, under which no one so beloved by leftists that they burn votive candles to him will ever face justice.

Instead, the establishment gives him an ethics prize. Maybe our moonbat overlords have a sense of humor after all.

The announcement itself is jarringly dishonest. Fauci is praised for helping to “combat rampant and dangerous misinformation.” In reality, he aggressively suppressed dissent to protect himself and his ChiCom compadres and to facilitate Covid tyranny.

The unrepentant Fauci’s only regret after the pointless misery, repression, and economic devastation that he helped inflict is that the Big Government he personifies was not repressive enough:

“If I knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently,” said Fauci in an interview [last year]. “The insidious nature of spread in the community would have been much more of an alarm, and there would have been much, much more stringent restrictions in the sense of very, very heavy encouragement of people to wear masks, physical distancing, what have you.”

The previous Inamori Ethics Prize winner was from Ukraine, arguably the most corrupt nation on the planet. Follow the trajectory and you have to ask, can an ethics prize for Joe Biden be far away?

From the beginning, it was obvious that experimental Covid vaccines made no sense for healthy young servicemembers, to whom the vax was more of a threat than the virus. Yet the moonbats in charge demanded they roll up their sleeves. It looks like myocarditis has resulted. Now the VA reportedly refuses healthcare benefits, claiming that the vaccine imposed by the Pentagon was not service-related.

LifeSiteNews has background:

The COVID vaccines, developed and reviewed in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take under former President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative, continue to be dogged by public concern over evidence of harmful side effects, which the federal government has been largely uninterested in pursuing.

Medical billing data from the Pentagon’s Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) shows that 2021 saw drastic spikes in a variety of diagnoses for serious medical issues over the previous five-year average, including hypertension (2,181%), neurological disorders (1,048%), multiple sclerosis (680%), Guillain-Barre syndrome (551%), breast cancer, (487%), female infertility (472%), pulmonary embolism (468%), migraines (452%), ovarian dysfunction (437%), testicular cancer (369%), and tachycardia (302%).

Nonetheless,

Until last December, President Joe Biden’s Pentagon leaders enforced COVID-19 vaccine mandates on American service men and women, provoking almost 40 lawsuits and threatening soldier and pilot shortages potentially adding up to tens of thousands, contributing to broader ongoing problems of force strength, troop morale, and public confidence.

Now we hear infuriating stories like this:

The VA denying disability benefits to vax victims appears to be more than hearsay. A half dozen senators — Marco Rubio (R-FL), Rick Scott (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R- TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Steve Daines (R-MT), and Mike Braun (R-IN) — demand answers. From a letter they sent to Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough:

We write for clarification on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) policy for veterans who have injuries resulting from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine while in service. As you are aware, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) required all service members to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Many service members, despite hesitations against receiving the vaccine, chose to be vaccinated to continue their service to our country.

The senators have questions for the VA’s Chief Bureaucrat:

1. What is the VA’s process for considering COVID-19 vaccine injuries for disability claims?
2. Does the VA consider COVID-19 vaccine injuries as service-related if the service member received the vaccine during service?
3. Has the VA investigated the health effects of COVID-19 vaccine injuries?
4. What resources does the VA provide service members who are concerned that a COVID-19 vaccination led to their injury?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for straight answers from the Biden Regime.

In place of thoughts, moonbats have bumper stick slogans that they exploit their control of the media to shriek in your face. A favorite of the Covid era is, “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” Everyone is safe when there is not a single person who hasn’t complied and conformed:

Only time will tell just how much damage the largely unnecessary Covid vaccines have done to public health — although the constant stream of stories about seemingly healthy young people dying unexpectedly, usually of sudden heart issues, is alarming in the extreme.

More alarming still is the absolute conformity demanded by liberal drovers.

At least now we have immunity against believing anything our rulers tell us.

Possibly the most appalling example of Covid tyranny occurred when a federal agency arbitrarily did what the USSR’s Red Army could not do: terminate our property rights.

From the Federal Register, dated September 4, 2020:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the issuance of an Order under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act to temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

With this agency order, the deed to every rental property in the United States passed from its previous owner to the federal government. The former owners are still responsible for upkeep, but are only allowed to collect rent in accordance with the vagaries of bureaucrats.

Despite recent attempts to revive it, the last of Covid hysteria is petering out. The decree above is no longer in force for the time being, even at the local level in liberal enclaves. But once the fundamental right to own property has been determined to be contingent on government whims, it will remain under relentless assault:

A group of renters in the expensive California suburb Berkeley stormed an event where landlords were celebrating the end of a COVID-era ban on evictions, plunging the event into violence and sparking a brawl that saw an elderly landlord get punched in the face.

You can’t make a socialist omelet without breaking some eggs — or faces.

The bayside city was among the last in Alameda County to abolish the protection that landlords claim was being used as cover for widespread rent avoidance.

Landlords claim? Allowing people to live on someone else’s property on an involuntary basis without paying rent is the sole purpose of an eviction moratorium.

The unemployment rate in Berkeley is 3.8 percent – on par with the national average – and the median rent is $3,800. It is known to be a wealthy enclave with a deeply academic community thanks to its eponymous college. …

Median household income in the Frisco suburb tops $97,000 according to the US Census.

Some of the useless moonbats infesting Berserkeley lived effectively as squatters, costing the rightful owners of their homes tens of thousands of dollars over the past several years.

The Berkeley Property Owners Association, naively hoping the nightmare to be over, held a celebration in a bar.

But more than 100 angry renters crashed the soiree, calling it ‘deeply cruel’.

The moonbats countered this cruelty with one of their mostly peaceful protests.

‘I went around and told our members to remain quiet, and peaceful and not engage, and they didn’t,’ BPOA President Krista Gulbransen told Berkeleyside.

The “Let’s Be Grownups” approach does not work with the woke.

Gulbransen herself was shoved to the ground as ‘multiple fights’ broke out after a group of protesters decided to enter the venue an hour into the party.

Predictably, the Berserkeley police refused to remove the moonbats, who in effect issue their orders. The mayor is Jesse Arreguin:

The self-described ‘unapologetic progressive’ previously sat on the city’s Rent Stabilization Board and has made it his mission to ‘restore Berkeley to the forefront of progressive leadership on the environment and social justice’.

“Social justice” means somebody else pays for everything.

Liberals are infamous for projecting their flaws onto their adversaries, but this is over the top; according to BPOA spokeswoman Becky Warren,

‘Their protest planning included language celebrating mass killing of landlords, celebrations by guillotine, and references to landlords as parasites.’

You read that correctly. The freeloading tapeworms regard the people whose property they demand to live on for free as “parasites.” This surreal inversion of reality accords with the twisted ideology Berkeley is infamous for.

How soon can we expect another national ban on evicting tenants who choose not to pay their rent? That all depends on who Mandy Cohen has been chatting with on the phone:

The fundamental rights that allow civilization to function took many centuries to develop. We are flushing away even the most basic (e.g., property ownership, assembly, and self-defense) by allowing people of this caliber to rule on an absolutist basis in the name of “public health.”

No one can say that Barack Obama didn’t leave a legacy. His community organizer tactics produced the racial strife that led to hundreds of Black Lives Matter riots and continue to have us at each other’s throats. Still more destructively, he weaponized the federal government on behalf of Democratic Party, most famously by siccing the IRS on the Tea Party. Under his idiot sidekick Biden, institutions that now serve party rather than national interests include the FBI and CDC:

The Biden administration likely infringed upon the First Amendment when it leaned on social media companies to remove false or misleading COVID-19 content, a federal court of appeals ruled Friday — narrowing a bombshell district court order that barred several officials and agencies from communicating with the platforms.

Which Covid content was false or misleading is still a matter of dispute — except for the admitted lies told by Tony Fauci. However, the Deep State wouldn’t censor Fauci, because even if he presents himself as Science Incarnate, he is actually Big Government Incarnate. That’s why liberals burn votive candles in devotion to him.

The White House, surgeon general, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI “likely coerced or significantly encouraged social-media platforms to moderate content” and in doing so, “likely violated the First Amendment,” the New Orleans-based Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals determined.

J. Edgar Hoover could never have imagined his agency would one day be used to censor medical information so that a virus could be exploited to inflict tyranny.

If Democrats maintain power after next year’s election, they are apt to inflict more Covid tyranny, including mask mandates, pressure to take experimental vaccines, and even a return to lockdowns. If Trump wins, don’t be surprised if you get the same. But look at the bright side — at least we’ll have poetry:

To coincide with the Global Vaccine Impact Conference, Gavi has commissioned spoken word artists from across the globe to compose new unique works celebrating the power of immunisation.

Prepare yourself for “My Vaccine, My Health,” by Makida El-Husseini of Ghana:

Inspiring words for Covid vax true believers:

Health is vaccination
It protects the immunity of our system
To fly away from deadly viruses and chronic diseases
that plague our growing greens to a demise
Vaccines are life

Life, that breathes into the souls of humanity’s existence
And eschew the brutality of the cold breeze of death

Vaccines have saved any number of lives. Too bad we can no longer trust them not to make us sick.

Democrats figure if they can run Biden for president again, they can run us through Covid again too. Masks, experimental vaccines, and tests will become increasingly mandatory as authorities condition us for a return to lockdowns. Fortunately, you can test for Covid without sticking a swab up your nose:

The test does not work with Bud Light, because it has no taste.

Attention liberal readers: the test works even better with gasoline. Drinking gasoline has the added advantage of helping to remove fossil fuels from the imperiled planet, thereby preventing the climate from fluctuating.
