Op-ed:

Briefly...On California's Wildfires

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' was recently asked by a reporter if it was appropriate for president-elect Donald Trump to criticize California Governor Gavin Newsom in regards to the ongoing California wildfires. And Governor DeSantis' response was, "Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and to try to create narratives any time these things happen?"

And to that I say “bravo” to both Trump and DeSantis because they, and the press, know well that Newsom has known for years that these wildfires happen almost on a yearly basis but has done nothing of substance to address the issue. So here I'll add to what my great Florida governor stated and say that, in my opinion, both Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Bass need to face charges of “gross (criminal) negligence and reckless endangerment of civilians,” And why...because these two basically sat back and did nothing but blame others while Los Angeles and the Palisades burned. In fact, it was Mayor Bass who not only hightailed it to Ghana while the wildfires were spreading, but was the one who cut the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget by almost $20 million last year despite memos from its fire chief stating that said action would be “detrimental toward responding to natural disasters.” And sadly, how very right he was.

Remember again...and this is important...these two knew that these types of fires were cyclic in nature and tended to reoccur year after year, and yet they also chose to transfer monies and “emergency services” training programs needed to directly address this very type of situation, and funneled both into what I deem to be unseemly “totally irrelevant areas”...areas reeking of the left's DEI, environmental, and climate change agendas... agendas obviously deemed more important to these California “powers-that-be” than their protecting human lives and property it seems.

But the fixes to California's long standing emergency water issues do stare one in the face, especially those with common sense that is. And said fixes should include commencing the long discussed building of desalination plants to use and store the Pacific's waters for fighting wildfires, and that not only should all new home and business construction be constructed of cinder block and not wood, as well as being equipped with both lawn and roof sprinkler systems (the monies required would be added into the construction costs), but that the “perimeters” of densely populated areas should be ringed with underground sprinkler systems as well. Why so...because this would allow a perimeter system to be turned on before a wildfire reaches said areas to wet-down those areas making it harder for a fire to spread, thus giving air crews the time needed to drop water and fire retarding chemicals onto the fire.

But maybe in the end some good can come from this overwhelming disaster...one of the worst fire disasters in U.S. history...as in maybe “blue” loyalist Californians will finally wake up and stop voting these clueless, useless, and uncaring Democrat politicians into office time and time again...case closed.

Op-ed: 

Scheduling Covid 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

 

“If you have a vaccine available, you might want to lock down temporarily so you can get everybody vaccinated.” 

- Dr. Anthony Fauci's words said during a Wayne State University event entitled “Pandemic Lessons and Role of Faculty in Pandemic Preparedness.”

This is my 34th Covid article to date...an article I hoped I would not have to write, but I should have known better what with it now being presidential election season...a season prime for Democrat fabricated distractions. So write it I must because as I and many others both expected and predicted, the marauding Covids have indeed returned right on schedule. Can you say “election interference”...I surely can.

And so, according to CDC health officials and assorted virus trackers, three new “highly mutated” COVID-19 variants are starting to spread around the country with the official prediction being that said spread will continue over the upcoming year. Nothing like government folks relishing in panicking an already on edge public...nothing like the Democrats again trying to use a virus to mask their “election interference.” And said interference now comes in what I believe will be the White House soon issuing a general public appeal regarding mail-in ballots. Saying that by filling out ones ballot in the safety of ones own home is the best and safest health wise way to vote, leaves me to say that I truly hope that my readers know, or at least should know by now, that mail-in ballots are the easiest way for voter fraud to be committed. And for those of us who do know it, Biden and crew simply don't care that we do.

So as the Democrat initiated foundation is now being laid for yet another election fiasco...a fiasco that will be ten times worse than that of 2020...the White House has already started hyping the need for us to get re-jabbed, reboosted, to stock up on masks, and get ready to soon be locked down again. And this is no matter that past vaccines, boosters, masks, and lock downs did not protect “We the People” as well as was hoped for. So while they fooled us once with all their hype, hopefully this time most folks are smart enough to know what's coming and why, and simply not comply...that is except for certain colleges and universities who have foolishly already started to comply.

So what exactly is the story with this new Covid variant that is causing this latest alarm? First, the CDC and other government health authorities claim that Covid hospitalizations and deaths are up due to the newly surfaced EG.5 variant...unofficially named “Eris” ...and that “Eris” now makes up 20.6% of all new Covid infections, along with the FL.1.5.1 variant known as “Formax” making up an additional 13.3% of all new U.S. infections. Second, while those particular numbers do double that of the previous week (these numbers are early to mid-August numbers) and might seem scary on the surface, what these same folks are playing down is the fact that this current spike in infection numbers remains far below that of almost all peaks seen during previous waves of the virus. And third, promises are now being made that the newest soon to be on the market vaccines are “expected to work” not only for the newly emerging“Eris” variant but for other closely related XBB variants...the very variant that was dominant last winter.

So, if that be the case then my question is: If these new variants are so closely related to last winter's Covid-19 variants, why didn't last years vaccine and boosters keep these new variants at bay? I'll tell you why...it is simply because a great percentage of our American population is already “jabbed and boosted” to such a degree that it has not allowed a large range scope of “natural immunity” to kick in. And while said immunity has obviously kicked in for those of us who did not roll up our sleeves for the original “jab”...or for any “jab or booster” thereafter...and who have yet to get Covid...our “natural immunity” has been allowed to be built up to such a degree that we probably...yet we know to never say never...will not come down with Covid.

And a case for this can easily be made...that is if one removes the government spewed nonsense and Fauci initiated medical lies like his recent “climate change is playing a role in causing outbreaks” from the mix...the fact is that it is the vaxxed and boosted folks who, for the most part, are the ones still getting Covid multiple times coupled with many of them actually coming down with what's called “long-term Covid.” And why is this happening... because “natural immunity” trumps immunity gotten via the “jab” thus leaving these folks immune systems not working up to par with the only way for them to have some form of true immunity...no matter how small said protection is...is to actually keep getting “jabbed and boosted” over and over again. And they do so while not being told the truth that it's the endless round of vaxx compliance that is actually hurting not helping them.

A vicious and so nasty cycle I know, and the Democrat controlled media is doing their part to help instill fear into the public about these now rising Covid numbers. So while the government sorts who willingly keep pushing the newest “jab” know the truth, they do so with their added bonus being that said hype helps to keep business and mega profits going not only for “Big Pharma,” but for those in the know who invested in certain pharmaceutical company stock. And when you add into the mix scientific double talk that involves yet another virus mutation...this one known as F456L...a mutation which seems to help certain variants spread more easily...know the push for vaccine after vaccine...for booster after booster...will not let up anytime soon.

And as most of you know I am not a conspiracy sort..never have been never will be...but certain things simply do not add up either medically or common sense wise. So here let's start with this question: With this new EG.5 variant now rearing its head, where do we stand in regards to its actual illness producing effects? According to the CDC and WHO there appears to be no real increase in disease severity from this new variant as symptoms are basically the same as they've been for the past year...meaning the virus  manifests itself with flu-like symptoms as in cough, headache, muscle aches, runny nose, and fatigue...aka the common cold on steroids.

And the second question is: Why if these same folks say that the new vaccines soon coming to market will offer protection against the above stated EG.5 (aka Eris) variant...or at least lower the severity of illness if one does become infected...why are they now sounding the alarm that there's still a chance that said vaccines might not be as effective against the FL.1.5.1 (aka Formax) variant or effective at all against the lurking in the wings BA.2.86 variant...why since all are variants of the original Omicron XBB variant, and especially when all the new vaccines are also of monovalent XBB.1.5 composition?

And with the sole excuse given being that viruses can and do tend to evolve between the time when recommendations to get re-jabbed and re-reboost are issued as opposed to when a said vaccine is actually being produced, leads me to if not believe at least consider the possibility that just maybe both our government and “Big Pharma” wants us to become solely depended on them to keep us alive and somewhat healthy., as they seem to be creating a population that becomes vaccine dependent drug addicts of sorts whose very lives rest in the hands of our government...a government who seems to always use medical scare tactics around election time.

And why am I adding the election time factor into the mix...because how convenient is it that while both health and government officials know how easily viruses can mutate, the FDA does not “see a need to change up the COVID vaccine recipe” or revisit the newest soon to be on the market composition of the vaccine until the first half of 2024...meaning just as this election cycle switches into high gear.

So knowing all that I stated the question then becomes, who will and who will not comply with this newest Covid madness...I know I will not...will you?

Op-ed:

A Failed Presidency Exposed

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

Three and half weeks of escapism goes by way too quickly especially when it's your older son's destination wedding/vacation. But now it's time for me to get back to the real world and once again face the fact that the Democrats and their media cohorts...the very party and its propaganda arm who still refuse to acknowledge the differences between a man and a woman...continues on with the same old tired distractions from before I left. And it's all in a misguided yet ever so divisive attempt to divert our attention away from the undeniable fact that Joe Biden's presidency...his objectives, his policies, and his agenda...remains a total disaster, something we must focus on as the mid-term election draws near.

And said disaster encompasses both domestic and foreign policy issues. First, Biden's domestic disasters see soaring gas prices blatantly being manipulated to fall back down as the midterm election draws near while he ignores the basic principle of “supply and demand;” and the now 40-year high in across-the-board inflation shows no sign of abating any time soon. Couple that with continuing supply chain shortages (with baby formula supplies reported to be worse off now than they were four months ago), and sadly recession has become the new reality as the GDP fell another 0.9% in the second quarter of this year, leaving one to easily see how our economy under Joe Biden is simply, to put it mildly, a mess.

But how could it not be when the ongoing crisis at our southern border is helping to drain our government's monetary coffers what with almost two million folks with their hands out for the Democrats promised “free stuff” having crossed our border ILLEGALLY last year alone with almost that many crossing this year, to date, as I write this. And yet DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas still claims that the border is highly secure and “getting securer by the day” while border patrol agents themselves state that, “Hundreds of thousands crossing every month is not the definition of secure,” and that, “They are liars and anyone who believes them are fools.” Could not have said it any better myself.

And surely not to be forgotten are the issues of “domestic terrorism” and supposed “insurrection” lurking not so silently in the background. And while “insurrection” coupled with “domestic terrorism” truly does come in the guise of government hating, America defaming groups like Antifa and BLM, remember as fact that neither group has yet to be called to task for the rioting, looting, mayhem, murder, and the burning of American cities all done in their name, let alone their outright government subversive agenda... true “insurrection” that's willingly being overlooked by their Democrat naysayers. 

And yet we only hear the word “insurrection” in regards to the “Trump Impeachment Hearings Part 3” otherwise known as the “unfair and unbalanced” televised House January 6th hearings. And really, how can the word “insurrection” even be bantered about in regards to January 6th when no one who was arrested or tried, to date, has had the charge of “insurrection” being levied against them, especially when many who were present claimed that the Capitol police quite willingly opened the Capitol doors to let the protesters in.

Also on Biden's failed domestic front we continue to see crime figures soaring as America's streets are turning red with the blood of innocent victims what with the police still being ordered to “stand down.” And while some in the political arena are now calling for a “refunding” of the police, their voices are being drowned out by those whose hatred of the police still runs as deep as the color of their skin. It's no wonder why we need the Second Amendment now more than ever before, after all we need a means by which to defend ourselves and our families, because if the police can't or won't do it we must do it ourselves. And with the rise in gun violence coupled with the federal government acting more like the Gestapo incarnate, perpetrators of crimes are turned into heroes or victims while crimes true victims are barely given lip-service at all.

And here let's separate gun violence into two categories with the first being when a firearm is used in the process of committing a crime, like robbery for example, from that what's now referred to as “mass shootings” where killing is done for killing's sake alone. To try and take firearms away from both petty criminals and we law abiding citizens while not addressing the mental issues of those who commit mass shootings does no good at all for firearms...for guns...will not only always be gotten by those hell bent on doing bodily harm, but those of us “behind every blade of grass” will not nor must not give up our firearms willingly for to do so will lead directly to the downfall of American freedoms. Remember, it's only those of unsound mind who commit mass shootings, and besides guns themselves do not kill people...people knowingly and willingly kill people...gun free zones be damned.

And lastly on the domestic front, for this article anyway, we continue seeing both abortion and Covid on the front pages. So while Democrats are up-in-arms (pun intended) over the fact that their sanctioned killing of babies in the womb has been dealt a not unexpected blow with the SCOTUS' overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid fear-mongering lingers on as Joe Biden, the man who just a year ago said, “You’re not gonna get Covid if you get the shots,” has (as I write this) Covid himself. Quite telling I'd say as “our bodies ourselves” in liberal-speak matters only when the killing of unborn babies is involved while the willingly “unjabbed” (like me) still remain healthy and Covid free. 

Now, as if on cue, enter Monkey Pox...the newest disease de jour...what with Covid scare tactics starting to wane.

And as for Biden's ongoing foreign policy disasters...of which I will highlight but a few...we must start with his foolishly ordered unilateral Afghanistan withdrawal that never should have been, most especially under what was then the current circumstances that presented in the country. Seeing the Taliban now winning the war that we should never have lost, left our troops returning home to find that it was more important for our military to become “woke” than anything else. What a sad commentary our men and women in uniform were now forced to face.

But Biden's forcing the leaving behind of millions of dollars of military equipment in what was a hastily conceived exit...an exit where the enemy dictated the timeline...led not only to a still ongoing humanitarian crisis, escalating starvation, and Afghanistan's general economic collapse...but to our arms being used against the very people we once proudly helped free. And not only does the media give little lip-service to this, but this only compounds the damage already done by Obama's “hearts and minds” directives...proving Joe Biden to be anything but a true commander-in-chief let alone one who is respected by both the military and we civilians alike.

And then there's Biden's recent trip to Israel, the Palestinian territories, and Saudi Arabia where in Israel he stated that he and his administration “won’t wait forever to get back into the (nuclear) deal.” In trying to placate Iran, Biden not only stabbed Israel in the back, but the self-called “messenger of peace” spoke out of both sides of his mouth when announcing America's “firm support” for Israel and that we would “ensure Israel’s military security” if Iran did obtain nuclear weapons. Empty words spoken for Biden then met with Palestinian leaders and announced a new $235 million aid package for the Palestinians, the very folks aligned with, financed by, and who receive the bulk of their weapons courtesy of Iran. And to add insult to injury, Biden repeated his support for a “two-state” solution ignoring the fact that the so-called Palestinians already have a homeland...it's called Jordan...proving that all Biden did while in Israel was to again channel his inner Obama.

Then it was on to Saudi Arabia to beg the Saudis to produce more oil. Unfortunately, the highlight of Biden's trip to Riyadh was a disrespectful “fist pump” with Saudi Prince and future King Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, who in effect is already Saudi Arabia's leader. And while no serious one-on-one oil negotiations took place between the two men Biden did promise...with fingers crossed behind his back no doubt...to “reconsider the decision to ban the sale of offensive armaments to Saudi Arabia.” And know this most likely will not happen what with Saudi Arabia now forging relationships with Israel as they share and must keep in check their common enemy, Iran. Simply, Biden’s attempt to cozy up to the Saudis has proven to be an embarrassment for our country as it has done nothing to ease let alone undo Biden and the Democrat's self-inflicted energy crisis.

And also not to be forgotten is Ukraine, a still ongoing foreign policy disaster for Joe Biden, what with the sum total of promised U.S. aid in regards to much needed equipment still not reaching Ukrainian hands out of fear of Russian reprisal. So while Zelensky and his loyalists continue their fight against Putin's forces, Biden shows weakness in not only his fear, but in his lackadaisical attitude towards Vlodimir Zelinsky himself, a man who has more courage in his little pinkie than Biden has in his whole body. But then again Ukraine is a sore point for both the "big guy" and his son Hunter, and blood always proves thinker than water...blankets anyone?

And lastly dare I not mention the misnomer known as Biden's “climate change” agenda...which in reality is but the “weather.” Remember, recorded human history itself has shown that the seasons run and will continue to run in cycles with summers always being hot while winters will always be cold...after all “Mother Nature” herself cannot ever be changed. And why do I now list “climate change” as a Biden foreign not domestic policy disaster...because what is now called  “climate change”...remember it was first called “global warming” then “global cooling”...is a key part of the globalist “Green Energy” agenda. And not only does Biden's “Green Energy” policies signal trouble here at home...both cost and common sense wise...but they do so on a global scale as well for failures here at home do tend to echo world wide.

And Biden's only success, if you can call it that, in all these aforementioned disasters is that he has allowed himself to become the willing puppet by which the left...by which Obama himself...can still openly try to destroy our beloved America. And Biden is oblivious to it all, after all, fools rarely know they are fools for the spotlight blinds them to the truth.

 And so reality continues on as my escapism and vacation time is now sadly over.
