A video has been circulating on Twitter over the past few days showing a Costco manager stealing groceries from a couple who were shopping in a Las Vegas area store without wearing a face mask.
The manager, Tison, confronted the couple and demanded that they wear a face mask or be ejected from the store.
The man filming the video snapped back that “he woke up in a free country” and refused to abide by the Costco managers demands, who then began aggressively pulling his shopping cart full of groceries away from him. As the couple realized that the manager was removing food from his cart, the man finally caved and said he would wear a mask while paying if that was what he had to do to feed his family.
Some might find it understandable that companies like Costco are instituting such policies, but this was a bit harsh.

It was in the early 21st century and America had an all-time gung-ho, robust economy—the envy of the whole wide world. With an entrepreneurial President who deregulated everything and talked up the market incessantly, all the numbers were up, up, up. Well, some were way down: unemployment, inflation and tax rates.
Then in the span of just about a month everything changed. The world went upside down, truly topsy-turvy, as some government salaried officials wanted to have their way and implement an untried Bush-era response plan. Like many things Bush administration, it incarnated the heavy hand as guiding principle. And all due to a novel germ—released far away in a distant Chinese Lab (or was it a wet market?) and then circulated around the world.
Two high-level mad “expert” scientists walked into the Oval Office and told the usually self-propelled and assured President, that he absolutely had — no choice. It was massive quarantine and mitigation–flatten the curve — or we all could die. To hell with the economy and people’s livelihoods., they had one word: Lockdown!
He said “what”?
Their reply was that their “expert” models (especially at Imperial College, courtesy of Gates and Soros) predicted that if he did not immediately close down the entire economy, literally shutter it, and thereby lay off thirty some million Americans, causing a depression, over two million people could suffer and perhaps, yes, die.
The disease knew no boundaries they related—it affected every age, race, gender and income, equally, or at least there was no evidence against this, and every doubt was put in service of more restriction. Freedom be gone, the Bill of Rights must be suspended. After all there was no cure or therapy; we would likely never have a vaccine, and the hospitals would be completely overrun. Lacking ventilators (which were considered essentially a death sentence) and protective equipment, total chaos would ensue, they screamed, at the top of their still functioning lungs.
Really, he said? Why should I believe you? Have you or any of your so-called credentialed “experts” ever gotten it right before? On climate change? Global warming, or is it cooling? The population bomb? The end of the world as we know it? SARS? Ebola? Resource depletion? Your models have all been consistently wrong. Worse than wrong, not very useful, either. Truthfully, if followed, they would have been catastrophic.
So, the President sent them packing and later called his own team together in the basement White House Situation Room.
Here is what he then said.
It looks like yet another new Chinese flu this year could be very nasty. I want to go on national TV tonight (please add OANN) and warn the nation. They should take precautions and wash their hands, cover their mouths and we will go out of our way to protect the old, infirm, and particularly those in old age and nursing homes or with preexisting respiratory conditions. The rest of us will be fine and get through this. Eventually, we will have what some other scientists call, “herd immunity.” That’s a good thing.
The cost of my plan will be negligible with our economy soaring and with American jobs as our focus, we will do just great.
Everything stayed more or less within a range of normal. As in other years, it was a somewhat bad flu season and a few cities, like New York City and its metro area, took a beating.
But the flu season came and went, and some older and already sick people got ill and about the same as other years, passed away. The nation’s business went on uninterrupted. Unemployment dropped even more, governments at all levels took in unprecedented tax income, the markets held strong, while people’s retirement 401K’s looked better than ever. The oil price was stable, and US GDP continued to grow at over two percent.
Americans went to the stores, to work, and on vacation. When summer came, they went to the beach and the mountains. They stayed at hotels and motels. Every Sunday the churches were full, and restaurants were as busy as ever. The NBA season went down to the wire and the World Series saw a seven game head turner. The NFL and college football seasons started with much fanfare in the Fall.
Schools never closed, not for even a day. Marriages went ahead, family reunions, birthdays, graduations. Houses and cars, and just about everything else, was bought and sold.
The country in a word, thrived.
In November, the 2020 election saw a successful President defeat a demented out of touch challenger in a landslide that brought the President’s party back in strength to control both the House and the Senate. It was all so predictable.
Life was good.
Divoc-91 came and went and America stood firm, carried on and prospered as never before in its long and cherished history as a nation.

thegatewaypundit--2020-05-20--Susan Rice’s Email to Herself Was Not Created to Cover for Her and Obama – It Was Created to Cover E

Susan Rice’s Email to Herself Was Not Created to Cover for Her and Obama – It Was Created to Cover Everyone’s Backsides – But Instead It Backfired

Obama ’ s Former National Security Advisor , Susan Rice , sent an email to herself on the day before or the day of President Trump ’ s Inauguration .
This email was created not only to protect herself and her former boss Barack Obama , it was created to cover everyone ’ s backsides .
Former US Attorney Brett L. Tolman spoke out about the Susan Rice email to herself .
In a series of tweets , he shows that Rice ’ s efforts were not only to cover her and Obama ’ s behinds , they were to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for all , the effort backfired .
Tolman shares his thoughts on Rice ’ s ‘ CEA ’ effort for all involved : TRENDING : BREAKING : Susan Rice 's Team Confirms She Was Directed By White House Counsel to Write January 20 , 2017 Email About Secret Oval Office Meeting The entire General Flynn effort was hollow and Rice ’ s email is more damning than exonerating : After the meeting the contents of Flynn ’ s discussion with Russia were leaked to the press which is a 10 year felony : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not want to get caught : Susan Rice ’ s email to herself will go down in history as one of the dumbest and most damning actions of any Administration employee ever .
These people were corrupt and dishonest but fortunately not that smart .

Obama’s Former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, sent an email to herself on the day before or the day of President Trump’s Inauguration. This email was created not only to protect herself and her former boss Barack Obama, it was created to cover everyone’s backsides.
Former US Attorney Brett L. Tolman spoke out about the Susan Rice email to herself. In a series of tweets, he shows that Rice’s efforts were not only to cover her and Obama’s behinds, they were to cover everyone’s behinds. Unfortunately for all, the effort backfired.
Tolman shares his thoughts on Rice’s ‘CEA’ effort for all involved:
This is the declassified Rice “Top Secret” email from her official email to presumably her personal email. This is not just a CYA but a CEA “cover everyone’s a**” attempt. This shows Obama and Biden were calling shots against Flynn and Comey was providing the ammunition. pic.twitter.com/NQYKtMX5eK — Brett L. Tolman (@tolmanbrett) May 19, 2020
The entire General Flynn effort was hollow and Rice’s email is more damning than exonerating:
This whole Flynn effort is not just hollow. Pretend. But fabricated out of literally nothing and this bizarre email by Rice, given what we now know, is actually more damning than exonerating of Obama, Biden and Comey. This is probably why Sally Yates was so shell shocked — Brett L. Tolman (@tolmanbrett) May 19, 2020
After the meeting the contents of Flynn’s discussion with Russia were leaked to the press which is a 10 year felony:
Further, it is in this meeting that it is decided that the Obama Admin is not going to fully brief Flynn and hence the Trump administration on the status or progress of the Russia investigation. But what screams out is why they didn’t want to brief them—not because they were — Brett L. Tolman (@tolmanbrett) May 19, 2020
The illegal spies in the Obama Administration did not want to get caught:
they didn’t want to get caught. The ones trying to catch someone in the Trump administration didn’t want to get caught illegally spying and investigating. This is why Rice’s “Top Secret” email is so important. — Brett L. Tolman (@tolmanbrett) May 19, 2020
Susan Rice’s email to herself will go down in history as one of the dumbest and most damning actions of any Administration employee ever. These people were corrupt and dishonest but fortunately not that smart.


thegatewaypundit--2020-05-20--Florida Race For Turncoat Charlie Crist’s House Seat Becomes Bellwether For National Battle

You ’ re no doubt spending most of your day thinking about how not to contract COVID-19 , but it ’ s already mid-May and the battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives is well under way .
Here ’ s one race to watch : Florida ’ s 13th Congressional District , which includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater in the Tampa Bay area .
Once a reliably red district , it now leans purple .
Voters there twice delivered solid victories for George W. Bush , then backed Sen. John McCain from the red side .
Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Barack Obama ( an 11-point winner in 2012 ) and Hillary Clinton ( who won by just 3 points ) .
President Trump , however , carried Pinellas County , which makes up about 80 percent of the district .
Voters in the district have been far less fickle when it comes to House members .
A Democrat was elected there in 1973 , when the district was created , but the next seven lawmakers elected were all Republicans .
That string ran until 2017 , when voters picked a man who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ independent and morphed again into a Democrat .
TRENDING : BREAKING : Susan Rice 's Team Confirms She Was Directed By White House Counsel to Write January 20 , 2017 Email About Secret Oval Office Meeting That man is Rep. Charlie Crist , who served as governor from 2007 to 2011 , and he ’ s running for re-election , but he faces a half-dozen Republicans vying for the seat .
The top of the GOP heap is Amanda Makki , at least judging from the near-daily attacks she ’ s facing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a supporter of GOP rival George Buck accused Makki of being a “ terrorist ” and even held a sign protesting her at a campaign event .
Makki was born in Iran but came to the U.S. as an infant , which , apparently , opens her to such attacks .
Makki has a fascinating life story .
Her parents fled the oppressive religious regime in Iran to come to America .
Her mother delivered Yellow Pages phone books to put her husband through medical school , helping him become a surgeon .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ job in the Bush administration working at the Pentagon just weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks .
From there , she earned her law degree , becoming one of the youngest partners at one of the nation ’ s premier law firms .
Makki became the frontrunner in the 13th District primary after filing to run in June , scooping up $ 740,000 in contributions , far more than the other contenders .
She has also racked far more endorsements than the others in the Aug. 18 GOP primary .
“ Amanda ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American dream , and her commitment to our conservative principles , passion to serve and willingness to fight for what is right are exactly what the people of South Pinellas County are looking for in their next congressman , ” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy , California Republican .
Added Whip Steve Scalise , Louisiana Republican : “ Amanda ’ s grit and determination are exactly what we need to keep fighting against the radical , socialist agenda pushed by House Democrats .
The constituents of this district deserve better than a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ values — they deserve Amanda Makki.
” The Iranian-American would be uniquely positioned to fight back against the anti-Israel Muslim Democrats — Reps. Rashid Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota , two members of “ The Squad ” alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts .
But Makki faces a tough intraparty battle , facing off with a conservative with a sizable social media following named Anna Paulina Luna , who has drawn support from some lawmakers , including an endorsement by Rep. Matt Gaetz .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ with more than 250,000 followers on Instagram and who often poses with sizable guns , is also endorsed by Charlie Kirk , Turning Point USA founder and co-chairman of Students for Trump .
“ I ’ m sure as hell not a politician , ” she said in a video announcing her candidacy that includes her firing guns .
“ I won ’ t ever stand here and lie to you.
” And whoever comes through the GOP battle will face a powerful force in Crist , who took nearly 58 percent of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his party primary .
Crist raised $ 229,500 in the first three months of 2020 and $ 1.8 million for the full cycle , closing March with $ 2.9 million cash on hand .
Still , Crist will face an enthusiastic Republican base in the district , especially because he voted for both articles of impeachment against Trump .
And Crist is firmly in the camp of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who calls the shots for the Democratic caucus — another turn-off for moderates and independents .
So keep your eye @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to flip the House in November , it ’ ll be in districts like Florida 13 .

You’re no doubt spending most of your day thinking about how not to contract COVID-19, but it’s already mid-May and the battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives is well under way.
Here’s one race to watch: Florida’s 13th Congressional District, which includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater in the Tampa Bay area.
Once a reliably red district, it now leans purple. Voters there twice delivered solid victories for George W. Bush, then backed Sen. John McCain from the red side. Then they went twice for the blue candidate, Barack Obama (an 11-point winner in 2012) and Hillary Clinton (who won by just 3 points). President Trump, however, carried Pinellas County, which makes up about 80 percent of the district.
Voters in the district have been far less fickle when it comes to House members.

Makki has a fascinating life story. Her parents fled the oppressive religious regime in Iran to come to America. Her mother delivered Yellow Pages phone books to put her husband through medical school, helping him become a surgeon.
Against steep odds, Makki landed a job in the Bush administration working at the Pentagon just weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. From there, she earned her law degree, becoming one of the youngest partners at one of the nation’s premier law firms.
Makki became the frontrunner in the 13th District primary after filing to run in June, scooping up $740,000 in contributions, far more than the other contenders. She has also racked far more endorsements than the others in the Aug. 18 GOP primary.

But Makki faces a tough intraparty battle, facing off with a conservative with a sizable social media following named Anna Paulina Luna, who has drawn support from some lawmakers, including an endorsement by Rep. Matt Gaetz. Luna, a 30-year-old Air Force veteran with more than 250,000 followers on Instagram and who often poses with sizable guns, is also endorsed by Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder and co-chairman of Students for Trump.
“I’m sure as hell not a politician,” she said in a video announcing her candidacy that includes her firing guns. “I won’t ever stand here and lie to you.”
And whoever comes through the GOP battle will face a powerful force in Crist, who took nearly 58 percent of the vote in 2018 and is unopposed in his party primary. Crist raised $229,500 in the first three months of 2020 and $1.8 million for the full cycle, closing March with $2.9 million cash on hand.
Still, Crist will face an enthusiastic Republican base in the district, especially because he voted for both articles of impeachment against Trump. And Crist is firmly in the camp of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who calls the shots for the Democratic caucus — another turn-off for moderates and independents.
So keep your eye on this race. If Republicans are going to flip the House in November, it’ll be in districts like Florida 13.

Joe Biden has been around a long time. He was a US Senator from Delaware when Judge Clarence Thomas was nominated to the Supreme Court. That was almost 30 years ago.
Judge Thomas is now the longest serving justice on the Supreme Court today. Back in 1991, nobody could understand Biden. The same goes today.
In an interview with Clarence Thomas, a video of the much younger Joe Biden was presented to the Judge for his reaction. The judge was asked what he thought of Biden’s comments during his nomination hearing. The judge answers:
Who knows. I have no idea what he was talking about!”

Fast forward nearly 30 years and you have Biden again talking gibberish and no one knows what he’s talking about (mindful of language):
What the fuck? Joe Biden suddenly starts babbling about children stroking his hairy legs in the pool and how much he loves to have children on his lap. Also something about roaches? pic.twitter.com/KPwBfZ2N7z — Hillary Fan (@HillaryFan420) November 30, 2019
