When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.
When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.
"Distilleries just learned that to cap off a brutal year, the FDA is charging them a fee normally reserved for drug manufacturing facilities.
For many American craft distillers, 2020 was already one of their worst years ever.
The COVID-19-related closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, loss of tourism, and inability to offer in-store sampling slashed their sales revenue and cut them off from their customers.
Then this week, just as it seemed they'd made it through the worst of a terrible year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had one more surprise in store: The agency delivered notice to distilleries that had produced hand sanitizer in the early days of the pandemic that they now owe an
unexpected fee to the government of more than $14,000...Read all.

Cultural appropriation?-----Hilaria Gets Married | Power Line
Hilaria Gets Married | Power Line
"The Hilaria Baldwin story gets funnier and funnier. Scott wrote about it here.
Briefly, “Hilaria” Baldwin, social media star and wife of the anti-Trump actor and activist Alec Baldwin, has been impersonating a Spanish immigrant for many years.
In fact, her name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas, and she is from Boston. Her father was a Boston lawyer and her mother was an internist at Massachusetts General Hospital and, I believe, on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. Hillary grew up in Boston and attended prep school there.
For sheer comedy, it will always be hard to top her Today show appearance, where, impersonating a Spaniard and talking about cooking, she uttered the immortal, heavily accented line: “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in English — cucumbers.”
How could the Daily Mail resist a story like this? The Mail has been digging into the past, and now reports on the Baldwins’ 2012 wedding:
EXCLUSIVE: The bride wore a mantilla! Inside Hilaria and Alec Baldwin’s NY wedding where they said ‘sí,’ waved flamenco fans and exchanged Cartier rings inscribed in Spanish – and later she said her family ‘couldn’t pronounce her new surname.’
This photo of the Baldwins at their wedding is hilarious, given what we know now. Still, one wonders: did Alec seriously believe that his wife was Spanish? Presumably not: her parents attended the wedding. (Hillary’s father’s family, by the way, has been in Massachusetts since before the Revolution.)...Read all.

Xi Jinping Celebrates China's Economic Boom in New Year Speech
Xi Jinping Celebrates China's Economic Boom in New Year Speech:
In reality, the Chinese Communist Party actively persecuted individuals seeking to limit the spread of what was, to medical experts, clearly an infectious disease by December 2019. Wuhan police arrested doctors and journalists sharing information on how to limit infections — basic instructions like washing hands and maintaining social distancing protocol — or basic information on the outbreak, and forced them to offer the public embarrassing apologies for alleged misinformation. One of those doctors, Li Wenliang, died of a coronavirus infection at age 34 in February. The Communist Party has since attempted to claim him as a martyr.
Kristi Noem Blasts Leftists' 'Unprecedented Attacks on our Freedoms,' Counters with Message of Hope - Louder With Crowder
Kristi Noem Blasts Leftists' 'Unprecedented Attacks on our Freedoms,' Counters with Message of Hope - Louder With Crowder:
We have seen unprecedented attacks on our freedoms in this country this year. We have seen people come after our freedom of speech. If the media and the leftists don't like what we say, you get banned. You get blacklisted. You get silenced. Your freedom of religion has been challenged because people have been told they can't go to church any more. And if they go to church, then they can't sing. And then we've seen our freedom of assembly be threatened as well. People are actually being told in some states who they can spend time with, how many people they can spend time with, and that freedom as well is being threatened. What I wanted to tell all of you today is that that isn't happening in South Dakota.

So what are the lessons from 2020, this year of Peak Insanity?
- First, there is now final and conclusive proof that the Media and Social Media companies are out of control, enormously powerful, chillingly uniform and bigoted, and the determined, ruthless, remorseless enemies of everything that is true and good. ..You should know that these people work in the industry of lies, for the agenda of treason...
- Second, the same applies with any mainstream political party. Most of these have already fallen. They are already poisoned and corrupted beyond the point at which they can serve any useful function for those who wish to be free....
What you should realise from 2020 is that you live in occupied territory...
Once you realise that the whole game is rigged, that the corruption is vaster and deeper than you ever imagined in your most cynical moments, there is strangely a kind of liberty in that.
Once you realise that the whole game is rigged, that the corruption is vaster and deeper than you ever imagined in your most cynical moments, there is strangely a kind of liberty in that.
If you know this, they cannot deceive you anymore.
They cannot break you. 
And no matter how much they control this society and direct our nations to destruction, they don’t own you.
You are free in your heart, even if your body is in chains, as long as you know the chains are there.
You cannot break those chains unless you can see them.
And the corrupt and the wicked cannot break you, not finally, not totally, not ultimately, unless you decide to be blind...Read all.
Blackburn on $2,000 Payments: Dems Want to Go Down Path of Guaranteed Minimum Income, Aid Must Be 'Targeted'
Blackburn on $2,000 Payments: Dems Want to Go Down Path of Guaranteed Minimum Income, Aid Must Be 'Targeted':
Blackburn said, “One of the things that is so frustrating about this is that you could have had a lot more money than $2,000 in the pocket of hard-working Americans, if back in July or September or twice in October or in November, that they had voted to increase unemployment by $300 per week. Now, we know that what the Democrats are trying to do with this is to put us on a pathway to a guaranteed minimum income, which is one of their socialist agenda items.”

Maskless Woman Confronted by Mask Nazis Declares She's DONE with COVID Restrictions - Louder With Crowder:
Healthy people shouldn't be treated like carriers of the plague. Also, COVID-19 isn't the plague. I've called it a cough since at least March and I stand by my statement. If you're whining about COVID-19 killing people, go look up how many people die from seasonal flu every year then kindly shut your pie hole.
German Economist: ‘Great Reset Will Cause A Crash Worse Than 1930s’
German Economist: ‘Great Reset Will Cause A Crash Worse Than 1930s’
"The Great Reset is real, it’s happening now and will lead to devastation worse — “much, much worse” — than the Weimar Republic, a German economist has warned.
Dr. Antony Mueller, Professor of Economics at the Federal University of Sergipe in Brazil, says that the Chinese coronavirus ‘pandemic’ is being used as cover by the globalist elite to destroy small businesses and hasten a new world order based on “expertocracy, climate green religion, and brutal depopulation.”
This globalist elite — inspired by the World Economic Forum’s ‘Build Back Better’ campaign for a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ and by the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 — are killing Main Street, together with thousands of jobs, by keeping economies across the Western World in near-permanent lockdown.
“Most people have not noticed yet because at the moment governments can afford to give them subsidies and welfare payments. But the question is: ‘For how long?’ We know this money is coming to an end and that it will soon be over. Next you will see massive unemployment all over Europe as one country pulls down another country.”
The coming economic crisis will be worse than any the world has seen before because all the countries in the Western world will become impoverished simultaneously and be unable to help one another.
“We are seeing the destruction of the economy in all Western countries — from the U.S. and Canada to New Zealand and Western Europe. 2020 as been a big catastrophe in the making. It’s just not here yet but it will be worse — much, much worse — than Weimar.”
It was the decline of Germany’s Weimar Republic — a period of high unemployment, deprivation, and hyperinflation — that led to the rise of Hitler.
But however bad it might have been, the coming depression is going to be much worse because society is more atomized and less family-oriented and religious...Read all.

Biden Interior nominee discusses environmental injustice with tribal leaders
"Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) discussed environmental injustice with tribal leaders on Monday in her first meeting after being named President-elect Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Department of the Interior.
In the meeting, Haaland committed to "fully" honoring the U.S.'s treaty obligations to tribal nations and working with leaders to address the "disproportionate harm" Native Americans face "from long-running environmental injustices" and climate change.
...The New Mexico lawmaker told leaders at the meeting that she plans to work toward Biden's goal of using the climate crisis to create "good-paying union jobs" and promote clean energy sources, according to Biden's transition team...Read all.
Sidney Powell: 2020 election was masterpiece of deception
Sidney Powell: 2020 election was masterpiece of deception:
"By the next morning, multiple mathematicians had contacted me and told me they knew the algorithm that had been run to change the vote," the explanation continues. "It was that obvious to people with mathematical expertise. It is a mathematical impossibility for 100's of thousands of votes to show up for VP Biden alone, and to have been injected into the system the way that they were."

"After Nov. 3, the meaning of some words and concepts abruptly changed.
Have you noticed how new realities have replaced old ones?
- Media cross-examination of the president now is an out-of-date idea. The time for gotcha questions has come and gone. Why ask a president whether he is a traitor or a crook when you can focus on his favorite flavor of milkshake or compliment him on his socks?...
- Impeaching a first-term president after his first midterm election — on a strictly partisan vote, for political reasons other than the U.S. Constitution’s “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” — now is a terrible idea.
- Worse would be to appoint a special counsel to harass a president on unfounded charges of collusion with China. An even scarier notion would be a conservative dream team of partisan lawyers hounding President Joe Biden — using a 22-month, $40 million blank check.
- It would be unprofessional for university psychologists and physicians from a distance to diagnose, in pop fashion, the mental faculties of a President Biden.
- Certainly, there never would be talk about U.S. Department of Justice officials contemplating wearing a wire as part of an entrapment scheme to remove a President Biden through the 25th Amendment. That almost would constitute a coup attempt.
- Almost as bad would be for the holdover FBI director to start “memorializing” his private conversations with Joe Biden on FBI devices...
- What happened to the Logan Act?...
To keep track of our brave new American world is easy.
Just consider everything said to be bad by the “Animal Farm” media before Nov. 3 as now good.
And remember that everything said to be good two months ago is now actually bad."...Read all, much here!
