Newsom appears to post TikTok inside restaurant, denies eating there

California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared indoors at a restaurant in a county where indoor dining is not allowed, but the governor’s office has said he did not dine at the restaurant. 

He was there to meet with the restaurant’s owners, who received a relief grant, Newsom spokesperson Daniel Lopez told Fox News. 

 Newsom posted a video to his TikTok account with celebrity George Lopez talking about where to look for coronavirus vaccine eligibility. Newsom and Lopez were in Fresno, Calif., and are inside Los Amigos restaurant.

A separate video of Lopez was posted to the Los Amigos restaurant’s Facebook page. Lopez was endorsing the restaurant’s food. 

Fresno is in the most restrictive purple tier, which does not allow for indoor dining.

Lockdowns are NOT ‘quietly improving cities,’ World Economic Forum concedes, deleting its much-ridiculed tweet

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken down its tweet that claimed lockdowns have been “quietly improving cities,” and admitted that is not the case. But the backdown didn’t spare the globalist titan from a new wave of mockery.

The WEF’s controversial message turned out to be quite short-lived, surviving less than a day on its feed under a barrage of outraged comments. The tweet was accompanied by a video, showing deserted streets and silent factories, that noted a record drop in carbon emissions. It also linked to an article claiming that silent cities contributed to better detection of minor earthquakes.

On Saturday, the organization deleted the tweet, accepting that coronavirus-induced lockdowns were not actually “quietly improving cities.” Still, it insisted that the restrictions have been “an important part of the public health response to Covid-19.”

Biden Admin Wants to Charge Reporters $170 Every Time They Go to a Briefing

The mainstream media goons who shrieked and moaned about a “free press” during the Trump administration are pretty mum after the Biden admin announced that they will be charging reporters for their COVID tests every time they enter the building.

Without taking the $170 test, reporters will not be allowed to enter the building to go to press briefings.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that the White House is seeking to put the new charges in place on Monday.

Charges this high would make it much harder for smaller and independent outlets to get into the briefings, which would make corporate media shills dominate the room even harder than they already do.

World Economic Forum Says ‘Lockdowns Are Quietly Improving Cities Around the World,’ What They Want Next Is Scary

The quiet (from people being locked in, unable to work or carry on their lives) reduced the ambient noise, the WEF says. “As fewer people used transport and factories closed, the quiet enable scientists to record small earthquakes they would usually miss” and there were also “record falls in air pollution” and carbon emissions dropped seven percent. But it wouldn’t slow climate change, the WEF says, “unless we lock in emissions cuts.”

Think about what they just said there. The cuts came from people being completely disrupted and cut off from their lives. They want to lock those in. Sure sounds like they want the lockdowns to become permanent.

Talk about enemy of the people. Lockdowns are destroying cities around the world. Millions of people injured, shattered lives, education, and economies with a huge increase in suicides but to the WEF it’s “quietly improving cities around the world.” That’s sociopathic. They relish the ability to study earthquakes. But you study earthquakes primarily to save the people from them. You don’t celebrate doing in the people to study the earthquakes. Unless you’re demented and perverse. But hey, the “climate” will improve.

The WEF isn’t just some random fly-by-night radical organization, but one that really has influence over global leaders throughout the world. The forum has a famous yearly conference in Davos, Switzerland, with other meetings throughout the year where it “engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.” They’re pushing the “Great Reset” to change the world’s economies because of the “opportunity” of the pandemic.

COVID Aid Bill Would Pay Federal Employees $1400 a Week if Kids Are Out of School

With thousands of schools still closed or partially closed across the country, millions of American families are struggling to find work-life balance while educating their children at home.

One part of American society may be receiving their own special COVID-19 relief package, however.

In Forbes, Adam Andrzejewski writes that a provision in the $1.9 trillion House bill—“the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021”—would allow federal employees to make up to $1,400 a week without working.

Buried on pages 305-306 of the legislation, the provision creates a $570 million fund for disbursements to federal employees who are not working because they are caring for others because of the coronavirus.

“Among those eligible are those who are ‘unable to work’ because they are caring for school-aged children not physically in school full time due to Covid-19 precautions,” writes Andrzejewski, the CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.

Under the legislation, full-time federal employees are eligible for 600 hours in paid leave through September, receiving up to $35 an hour.

“That’s 15 weeks for a 40-hour employee,” he writes.
