This Little Weasel Is Lying and There’s Proof He Is!

 

This Little Weasel Is Lying and There’s Proof He Is!

Al Ritter


As Dr. Fauci said in his Senatorial testimony, “you don’t know what you are talking about” with shaking hands and quivering Boston accented voice. This was directed at Sen Rand Paul who knew exactly what he was talking about. Dr Paul had all the emails that Fauci has sent to his constituents clearly labeling the “Gain of Function” experiments as such. Fauci warned his partners in crime about the possible repercussions of his secret funding of the Wuhan Virology Lab.

In constant back and forth emails he certainly showed his concern about trying to cover his tracks from the past that President Obama saw as dangers and made plans to discontinue funding.

On his own Fauci decided that this research was worth pursuing, and has said so in many video interviews. Obviously Fauci saw his opinion as having more weight than a Presidential decree.

Fauci has been caught in a major lie but refuses to back down even with a massive amount of evidence to the contrary. This research has raised a huge amount of questions. #1 why would Fauci fund research in China, a country not known for safeguards or even safety protocols. #2 why would Fauci defy the demand from President Obama to stop all research on Gain of Function research?

Rand Paul has a valid point in all this. Gain of Function research has been admitted by all the researchers in Wuhan, but Fauci continues to deny it. Fauci’s emails confirm it was Gain of Function in his own emails in his own words!

The handling of the Covid Virus by the Biden Administration has been horrid to say the least and Fauci’s continual support by the administration has been abhorrent to say the least.

Fauci needs to be fired, investigated, and indicted not only for his crimes against humanity but also for his insider trading in drug companies that he is tied to the hip with.

Hitler killed 6 million, but Fauci’s actions have killed 4 million so far and keep climbing daily, when will he be held accountable?

Kabuki Theatre at Its Worst

 

Kabuki Theatre at Its Worst

Al Ritter


Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want the facts heard about Jan 6 protest. Fair questioning and honest testimony are the farthest thing from her mind. She has denied anyone from the committee that doesn’t share her same narrative.

She’s denied the really tough questioners like Rep. Jim Jordan from Ohio, but allowed Trump haters like Liz Cheney. This whole investigation is Kabuki Theatre, propaganda from the left to inflate their own egos.

The testimony from Officer Harry Dunn epitomizes the lying left as he once again claimed fraudulently that a fellow officer had been killed by Trump rioters. Even after the coroner’s report came out that there was no indication that Ofc. Sicknick died from anything related to blunt force trauma the left constantly claims he did.

The only person whose life was taken that day was an unarmed Veteran Ashli Babbitt, but we will never hear the name of the Officer who took her life even uttered in this “investigation.”

While we are talking about Ofc. Harry Dunn, let’s address his personal life. He participated in the Black Lives Matter protest in DC this summer. Nancy Pelosi couldn’t have paraded a better face at her personal inquisition.

We will never hear the really tough questions, like who ordered the Police to stand down 4 separate times before finally allowing them to come in. Who unlocked the doors to the Capitol Building to allow the protesters in? Who gave the order to remove the barricades outside?

The person who should be answering all these questions is the one running the show Nancy Pelosi!

This is merely a group of foxes complaining about how the chickens have ruined their lives and it’s disgusting!

It Appears that AOC will Be Looking for a New Bartender Job!

It Appears that AOC will Be Looking for a New Bartender Job!

Al Ritter


For whatever reason it appears that the last Census didn’t show enough of a population to support a congressional seat for AOC to continue her ultra-progressive agenda in D.C. for her hometown in NY.

It would appear as if she has lost her seat by just 89 people. Of course she is crying foul claiming that because of Covid those additional votes weren’t counted.

A protagonist in the outcry of the Jan 6th protest, which later we found out she wasn’t even present that day in the Capitol walk in. Initially she claimed she was scared for her life even though she wasn’t even there.

I hope she remembers how to make a Gin and Tonic, because that may even be stretch for her to handle at this point after all her crack pot agenda introduction of bills.

To be honest Biden (or whomever is in charge) has used her to push the far leftist agenda without any blowback on the Biden administration if it fails. In just two words she is the “Sacrificial Lamb” and her 15 minutes of fame is rapidly dimming.

Who’s in Charge and Does Anyone Really Care?

 

Who’s in Charge and Does Anyone Really Care?

Al Ritter


Well America is starting to worry about Joe Biden and if he can really carry out even one term as his dementia has taken front stage. Numerous polls have suggested that America is worried about the direction of the country and if Joe can even string together a coherent sentence at any given moment.

A few Months ago it was suggested that his cues, policies, and promptings were coming from Susan Rice, or Barack Obama himself. Nobody really knows if that is true or not, but what is cut in stone is a very sobering realization who WILL be in charge if he is labeled as unfit to no longer hold office.

#1 Kamala Harris WILL be his successor, there is NO debate on that issue whatsoever. This is a woman that even if you don’t look at her sorted sexual past couldn’t even make it past round one of the primary in her home state. Let that sink in a moment. She had held office in California in several capacities before her bid for the Presidency but her constituents felt she didn’t do a very good jobs at those positions so they decided not to vote for her in the Presidential Primary.

That should tell you something, and yet Joe Biden picked her to be his running mate based solely on the color of her skin and NOT the content of her character or the ability to succeed him if necessary.

#2 here is the scariest scenario of all, if Harris is unable to fill Biden’s position for whatever reason, the Speaker of the House takes over as President. The very thought runs a cold chill up my spine, and it should with you too. Pelosi is 81, Biden is 78. Not only would her crackpot far left agenda take the forefront, but her advanced age should send a horrifying message too. She would then be the oldest President in our history with no guarantee that her mental state is any better than Joe’s.

I’m not so sure there is ANY good outcome if Biden steps down, but I’d bet money that it’s coming and it won’t take 3/12 more years either, remember how Pelosi started an investigation into the 25th Amendment? It wasn’t for Trump it was for Joe before he was even elected!

Where Does the Left Go Now That the PCR Test Has Been Debunked?

 

Where Does the Left Go Now That the PCR Test Has Been Debunked?

Al Ritter


It sure seems hilarious to me that after George Soros and Bill Gates bought the rights to the PCR test for Covid-19 on Monday the CDC, the FDA, and WHO have all declared the PCR test as inaccurate for detecting Covid-19 on Saturday.

It’s not like the inventors of the PCR test haven’t told America that the test was NEVER designed to detect Covid-19 but the CDC , WHO and the FDA all declared it the determining factor in diagnosing Covid-19.

The number of times they cycled the test was the determining factor from the very beginning, 28-35 cycles was determined as unreliable and yet the CDC still allowed it. Tests AFTER the vaccine were reduced to just 25 cycles and that told the “conspiracy theorists” that something fishy was going on.

In my home state the PCR test also included Influenza “A” and “B” and everyone was wondering if a positive for A or B would get a positive Covid test.

Well it’s now official the PCR test is now considered inaccurate and the so called Conspiracy Theorists have been vindicated! Now are all the past Covid-19 positives null and void? And thusly, are all the reported Covid positive cases now false too?

This surely has implications in any legal case pending as to the accuracy of any past test! The government will basically become toothless in this revelation!

Hopefully the two main liberal contributors will lose millions, and hopefully Billions on their untimely purchase of the PCR test…….(I know, I can’t stop laughing either)

The bigger question now is….how will ANY government entity prove you are Covid-19 Positive now?

Ok I’m still laughing sorry!

Dems: We Will Be Giving You More Money in January and You Should be Grateful!


Al Ritter

I love it when the Liberal spin doctors paint a picture of relief for a problem that they created in the first place. AOL and the Yahoo finance people are making it sound like the government will be giving SS and SS disability a raise in benefits out of the goodness of their collective hearts.

Because the Social Security benefits are based on COLA the cost of living index because of the combination of crazy spending from the Biden administration, and the Quantitative Easing (aka printing money) by the Fed and the Treasury Department monthly payments may increase by 5.8% this January.

Here is a sobering fact. The Government printed $27 Billion a day in money in 2020……yes that is BILLION NOT Million! This is called Quantitative Easing and it only serves to devalue YOUR dollar and drive inflation up.

All this Covid relief, $10 Trillion (which very little actually went to that situation) has driven our spending to an unsustainable level. We may never fully recover from this insanity. Printing money isn’t the answer and neither is the shell game the Fed and the Treasury Department are playing with the Bond Market.

Leave it to the Democrats and their minions in the Media for painting a starry picture from a deplorable situation.

DeSantis Tries to Help the Cruise Industry Get back to Work and This is How they Thank Him!

 DeSantis Tries to Help the Cruise Industry Get back to Work and This is How they Thank Him!

Al Ritter


Gov. Ron DeSantis in April sued the CDC for what he termed were cruel and unusual restrictions on the Cruise Industry. CDC wanted vaccine passports for customers to cruise on ships but not on planes. Recently he not only won that case in Tampa but went one step farther by signing into law a bill that said if ANY business requires a Covid Vaccination document to its customers or employees to either do business or continue employment will be fined $5000 per occurrence.

DeSantis is trying desperately to get Florida back to normal after a devastating Federal Lockdown. He wanted the Cruise Industry to be unencumbered by federal regulations and mandates. Norwegian Cruise Lines however took a different stance and decided to counter sue The State of Florida including its Head of the Health Department or Surgeon General of Florida.

The CDC unhappy with the Tampa Court decision is appealing. August 15th is the first scheduled Cruise for Norwegian after they have already stalled trips from the first available date in July.

Has the Left Lost Their Collective Minds?

 

Has the Left Lost Their Collective Minds?

Al Ritter


Sadly my email goes through Verizon, thus, through Yahoo, and then AOL is the news content attached to my email, so I have to wade through the news to get to my email. I find myself being hammered by constant leftist drivel and countless Los Angeles Times Op-Eds.

Yesterday was the topper though, this is what appeared on my news feed, and it was entitled “He only needs 50,000 signatures.” To begin with 50,000 signatures wouldn’t install Barack Obama as a Supreme Court Justice. Anyone on either side of the isle that would believe such stupidity should NEVER be allowed to vote for ANYTHING!

Number one there would need to be a vacancy in the Supreme Court, there isn’t. Number two IF he was nominated by President Biden his nomination would have to be approved by the Senate. Any nominee must be approved by the Senate, signatures alone on a petition are useless.

Now here’s another strange part…..Barack Obama surrendered his law license before he became President. Now I know that you don’t even have to be a lawyer to be a Supreme Court Justice (yea I know that’s weird but look it up) there has only been two Justices that had no law degree, Stanley Forman Reed and the last one that retired in 1957 was James F Byrnes.

But to merely assume that a signed petition could force someone onto the Supreme Court is pure lunacy! Are the leftist voters really this gullible?

The A.M.A. and the Media are Lying to You About Percentage of Vaccinated Doctors

 

The A.M.A. and the Media are Lying to You About Percentage of Vaccinated Doctors


Al Ritter

It seems that the AMA is lying to American about the percentage of how many doctors have received the vaccine both practicing and retired. Their claim is that 96% of doctors have been vaccinated, but in reality only 300 doctors were asked in their poll.

More of a reality came from a poll done by the American Associated Physicians and Surgeons where they said that over 60% of both practicing and retired physicians stated they weren’t vaccinated and would decline the vaccination based on risk assessment. This poll was taken online and was comprised of 700 physicians.

Quite a stretch I’d say from the hand-picked respondents in the AMA poll. Media of course has jumped on the AMA poll that reinforces the government stance, but remains silent on the AAPS poll.

Merely more censorship by the Government, and Media supporting the Covid Vax.

Biden Gets Stern Warning From Supreme Court Commission

 

Biden Gets Stern Warning From Supreme Court Commission

Al Ritter


Biden get s warning from his 39 member commission on the possibility of expanding the Supreme Court. Court Packing is what it’s called and it’s not a new idea, in fact Franklin Roosevelt tried it during his tenure. Roosevelt tried to increase the court to 12 to push his liberal agenda. It failed back then and was probably one of the leading reasons for the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, to limit the President to two terms.

This Commission comprises mostly liberal scholars, activists, and lawyers who have argued cases at the Supreme Court level, and they even viewed the idea of limiting the Justices tenure to 18 years rather than lifetime appointments.

The group warned Biden against increasing the number of justices it would escalate the situation.

It seems funny that only the liberals see a need to increase the number, they can’t to remember a time when the Democrats were a majority on the court. Much like natural Climate Change the political winds on the court ebb and flow, it would be wise for the Democrats to remember that!

The Shady Hunter Biden Connection to the Wuhan Lab and Other Deals

 

The Shady Hunter Biden Connection to the Wuhan Lab and Other Deals

Al Ritter


It’s always been known that Joe Biden and John Kerry shared many decades in the Senate together, what isn’t known however how deep is that bond, and subsequent corruption.

Kerry and Biden were pretty cleaver in how they hid their backroom dealings. Here we go again, with familiar names, Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz team up to create a Hedge fund known as Rosemont Capital while John Kerry was the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee later to become the Secretary of State under Barack Obama.

In 2009 the 39 year old Hunter Biden teamed up with Chris Heinz, son of Teresa Heinz and step son to John Kerry. They were later joined in the firm by Devon Archer. The company Rosemont Financial was formed from the name of the Kerry family farm Rosemont Farm in Chapel PA.

The three established several off shoot companies called Rosemont Seneca Partners, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty.

Over the ensuing years Joe Biden and John Kerry secured some highly sensitive deals with foreign Governments while their sons locked into so very lucrative deals with those same governments.

Because these companies were private equity firms they didn’t have to report their dealings publicly. Time after time Hunter and Chris were securing deals with these governments shortly after government deals were set up by their fathers.

Most troubling is a deal with the Bank of China. Unlike the Bank of America, the Bank of China is owned entirely by the Chinese Government. Rosemont Seneca joined forces with a consultancy group named the Thornton Group owned by “Whitey” Bulger’s nephew James Bulger.

Just one year after Rosemont Seneca’s inception Hunter and Chris with the help of Thornton Group had secured massive financial deals even though they were a fledgling company with hardly any real experience.

Another meeting in 2011 inked a more lucrative deal with China even though they were still small and had relatively little experience.

It couldn’t be more obvious to the lay person that Hunter and Chris were merely influence peddling, while siphoning ill-gotten gains to their father’s accounts.

Rosemont Seneca and the Bank of China formed a new $1 billion dollar hedge fund called Bohai Harvest RST which the RST stood for Rosemont Seneca, Thornton. This placed these two sons and the richest start up hedge fund in the world in just 2 ½ years!

This doesn’t even touch on the Ukrainian Energy Situation from Hunter Biden.

There is also a connection with Rosemont Seneca Technologies tying them to the Wuhan Lab by way of EcoHealth Alliance the group that secretly funded Gain of Function experiments by Dr Fauci.

When are we going to investigate Hunter Biden America?

Biden Secretly Moving Illegals To Interior USA in Military Planes!

Al Ritter


No wonder Biden is doing this secretly, he doesn’t want the public to know what he’s doing through the Department of Homeland Security, and ICE.

Biden is using Air Force planes to secretly move the illegal aliens who don’t have to show a photo ID or prove that they are Covid negative into central portions of the USA.

Obviously Governors aren’t even being told about this mass influx of undocumented individuals and Biden doesn’t even think ANYONE should be informed.

Who Gave Pelosi Permission to Form Her Own Police Force?

 

Who Gave Pelosi Permission to Form Her Own Police Force?

Al Ritter


After the Jan 6th protest Pelosi surrounded herself and Congress with National Guard forces for an undetermined period of time. Funny how she denied them access to the Capitol before the protest, but them basically demanded them afterwards.

Now she has blatantly formed her own Personal Police Department known as the USCP or United States Capitol Police and given them National Jurisdiction!

The USCP now has offices in California and Florida, and has the help from a pretty heavy hitter, The Department of Defense. They are supplying the USCP state of the art surveillance equipment used against insurgents in the middle-east. Think about that for a moment, they are using this surveillance designed to work against ISIS but now they are using this on American Citizens!


My question is who approved the use of the USCP and who gave them national jurisdiction? Wouldn’t this have to be voted on by the Congress and the Senate? Along with this misuse of power by Pelosi, remember that she has also claimed that the USCP doesn’t have to conform to the Freedom of Information Act thereby tossing transparency aside and allows them to act autonomously and under the radar so to speak.

When does this abuse of power end?

Psaki Admits Whitehouse is Flagging Problematic Posts on Facebook

Al Ritter


The Whitehouse admits that they have been flagging posts on Facebook for “disinformation” about Covid including anything that questions the effectiveness of the Vaccine, any dangers of the Vaccine.

Of course “misinformation” is ANY opinion that doesn’t match the Whitehouse so called experts’ opinions on Covid. Psaki laughingly declared they don’t want to politicize information surrounding Covid, which is EXACTLY what they are doing.

This is blatant collusion of Government and a publicly held firm, how can they even see this as morally ok let alone legal?

Where Has the Tea Party Gone?

Where Has the Tea Party Gone?

Al Ritter


For that matter where have all the conservatives gone? It seems that between Mitch McConnoll and Kevin McCarthy the Republican Party has lost its collective spine. Obviously the party had a spinectomy this past January when they took the stance of refusing to investigate the Jan 6 protest at the Capitol. Personally I would have liked to see that happen, I would have liked to have seen Nancy Pelosi’s part in that fiasco. Who ordered the police stand down, and how involved was the FBI and other agencies in using plants in the crowd to get Trump supporters wound up?

The old catch phrase of “Don’t Tread on Me” is merely a footnote in history now and 2020 was a sick and twisted cartoon of the meaning. Both sides of the isle implemented draconian mandates to not only control the people and trash the economy! Then as an olive branch to the country offered many “Covid Relief” packages that offered so many pork filled incentives that less than 6% actually went to people and business displaced but the Plandemic. No I didn’t misspell pandemic. There is clear and documented video one year prior outlining a SARS-cov-2 convention and what the response should be, hosted by no other than Bill Gates.


The fact is that both parties allowed the “Covid Relief” packages which in fact offered no real relief to the average American or the businesses they own.

These draconian lockdowns and mask mandates have never been shown to be effective and yet the same mandates were done in the Spanish Flu of 1918-1920. Have we learned nothing? People seem to think that these mandates are effective just through common sense, but they are wrong. There isn’t ONE Randomly Controlled Trial that says masks do anything, it’s even right here on the CDC site

I’m getting off topic so as Jen Psaki would say “let’s circle back.”

Both parties are guilty of trying to destroy our country last year. Neither can claim the moral high ground here, nor should they try.

What we DO need however is a return to Conservative Values to not only rebuild our country but rebuild our economy.

Because of my disgust for both parties at this point I am now an “Independent” which means I am beholding to NO party at this point and I’m proud to claim that.

In the next election I hope to see a proud Conservative step forward but until that time comes I am merely a spectator in this mad world!

Ten Year Review on an On-Grid Solar System

 

Ten Year Review on an On-Grid Solar System

Al Ritter


I just realized that during the time I was banned from making posts on the blogsite I had installed an on grid solar system and I had never written about it. So here it goes, I’ll tell you why I made the choices I did and what I have received in return.

To begin with you have basically two immediate choices to make. On-Grid System which works to feed back any extra current you make to use later or be paid for by your local power company. Now you have two choices to make here also, whether to outright purchase the system or to lease it from a company such as Solar City. The leased system mainly gives you a big discounted rate on electric use, but the monetary benefits from government rebates and sales of SRECS (solar renewable energy certificates) goes back into the pocket of the leasing company. With an owned system you get to reap ALL the benefits. The next choice is an off-grid system (meaning free from any grid system tie in. The way this works is for the panels to supply dc voltage by way of a battery bank to be stored in the batteries then redistributed through a larger inverter to be turned into AC current and sent through the house. This type of system is usually cost prohibitive and should probably only be considered if you have no electric to your homestead.

Now the sales of SRECS is a floating market and normally handled by your installer that follows the market closely and makes a trade when it’s most advantageous for you and them because they get an administrative fee on that sale. Sometimes it’s multiple times a year and sometimes it’s just once. My checks have varied from $40 to over $200 depending on the market price during the time of sale.

Now on to the meat and potatoes part. The system is comprised of 23 solar panels with micro invertors underneath each panel, the reason for that is because if one panel is partially shaded it won’t cut down the production on the other panels in the array. Lucky for me the roof of my garage faces directly south which is the absolute best orientation for panels.

If you are considering a roof mounted system it’s wise to consider the roof surface and its condition before you have an installation. My roof is old corrugated steel but has always been maintained with coatings. The coating on the roof now is white elastomeric coating made by Kool Coat and it works extremely well. If you are considering the system over an asphalt shingle roof I would think about the age of your roof vs. the expected lifetime of the solar system. In other words if your asphalt is between 15-20 years old I’d plan on replacing it before the system install.


Now the month of the year is very important to the electric production because of course of available light hours and solar orientation (sun angle is lower in the sky during autumn and winter months. As a result historically June is my highest month of electric production, and December is the worst.

Because the micro inverters are mounted directly underneath the panels the resulting power coming out of the inverter is now AC power and very high voltage! 247 volts on my system.

My system was installed by the company that handled the sale but a certified electrician with solar experience has to handle the final hookup and electrical inspection from your local county inspectors.

Now on to the bad. A company called Paradise Energy Solutions did the install and everything went well until the last 3 years. They marketed the install based on products sold by the most popular supplier Enphase Energy Systems. Now they supplied the products used in the install and they also supply a monitoring system call Envoy which is an Ethernet based system that reports your system’s efficiency back to them but as I found out later the web based monitor that I can view wasn’t as detail oriented as I thought. They expected me to monitor my own system for efficiency and to make sure each panel was working correctly, but the individual panel/inverter output couldn’t be monitored online. As a result my output suffered immensely 2 ½ years ago because 7 inverters had failed. After much back and forth I downloaded the cell phone app and finally I can now see each panel’s production.


Subsequent inverter failures have happened and my inverter failures have now totaled 13, some even multiple times! The inverters are Enphase labelled “Engineered in USA/ assembled in China” for whatever that means. A side note is that all failures have only occurred on the top row, which doesn’t make much sense to me or the technician from Paradise.

Paradise is paid by Enphase to do the inverter replacement (they are warranted for 25 years) but Enphase only pays them $125 labor per invertor. Because Paradise is in Lancaster PA and I am about 15 miles from Baltimore City they charge me and additional amount for travel time. It’s kind of like balance billing from a doctor when the insurance doesn’t cover the full amount they want. I don’t agree with this policy especially when the failures happen so often!

Thankfully the roof of my garage is low to the ground offering me walk on access so now I replace the inverters myself when they go bad.

Now for the good. The last 7 years when the system is working 100% I pay nothing for electric. BGE charges me $8.32 a month as an energy transmission fee. The system had paid for itself in 5 years and now I’m reaping the benefits for years to come with no outlay.


Is it worth it? Without a doubt yes but I pray they get their inverter problem straightened out.

Sleepy Joe Blames Global Warming for Condo Collapse

Al Ritter


As if Joe Biden isn’t strange enough, now he’s spewing baseless crackpot conspiracy theories about the Condo Collapse in Florida.

I suppose in the times where we are now Uncle Joe needs all the help he can get in pushing his Climate Change agenda, but this one is over the top!

Refusing to admit that just maybe the collapse was nothing more than a construction failure, by poor practices or sub-standard materials or both, Joe instead goes out on a limb this time.

One can only imagine the little voices in his head that trigger such foolish statements.

When you are this incompetent, you become dangerous!

On July 4, 2021 We Reflect on Last 245 Years

 

On July 4, 2021 We Reflect on Last 245 Years

Al Ritter


As we look back on the last 245 years it seems amazing to me the liberty and freedom we have lost since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Imagine if you will the basis of severing ties with England.

The basis of declaring our sovereignty from England was based on taxation. Another war was fought on that same idea between the North and South, but that is a story for another time.

America had no say in a government that was blindly based 3500 miles from Philadelphia, PA. Governors were appointed by the Crown and sent to the new colonies to administer their English rule and collect taxes.

This idea of colonialism was nothing new for England and Spain and seemed to run rampant for centuries. It was a small group of 56 men that signed the Declaration of Independence that finally put there foot down and claimed sovereignty on this new land.

Nine of the 56 died of wounds in the Revolutionary War. Five more were captured or imprisoned. Countless wives, and children were either killed mistreated, or left penniless.

Twelve of the signer’s houses were burned to the ground in retribution.

Seventeen lost everything they owned.

Not ONE of them defected!

I only wished that today’s Congress shared the same principles!
