Her name is Kelsey Cooper.
Rand Paul’s senior adviser and communications strategist.

I get it…. Fauci is responsible for millions of deaths and businesses that went under but instead of focusing on that, everyone is all jazzed up looking at the hot chick Rand has on his staff (no pun intended).
So Dr J. spent all of Covid on Claycord condemning anti-vaxxers and now he wants to scapegoat Fauci.
Fauci didn’t make you get the jab, you did that yourself. You bought into the hype and the fear and cried that it was all the unvaccinated’s fault and you tried to shame them.
The truth is that people always had a choice. And the great deception was making people think that they had to do as they were told, either out of fear, or for the greater good of others.
But if we are to look back at which politicians to blame, let’s not forget Trump. After all, he is the one that fast tracked the vaccine. Project Warp Speed was his baby. He will have that monstrosity and two failed wars as his legacy.
yoyohop, don’t even THINK of blaming covid on Trump.
Are you saying that the current military action against Iran is a failed war? Iran has been at war with us for 47 years; President Trump is trying to finally end the war.
Yoyo….. I did?
Did you go back into Claycord archives and read some of my posts from 2020?
Prove it, post some of my comments.
In 2020 I was an essential worker & I had to get the Covid vaccinations or lose my job which involved daily contact with seniors… I wasn’t a cheerleader for the vax, the masks or Fauci.
Copy and paste the comments “You bought into the hype and the fear and cried that it was all the unvaccinated’s fault and you tried to shame them” Prove it.
Please, go ahead & prove .
Dr…Ignore this Yoyo and its ignorant rants. Waste of time trying to reason with the unreasonable.
Think of it as proof,
human cloning must remain illegal
My opinions on the Covid con were formed early on when I heard an interview with Virologist Li-Meng Yan in 2020. She fled China in 2020 & exposed the lies and confirmed the gain of function research happening in the Wuhan lab.
Her story directly contradicted what Fauci claimed.

Yep, CHINA, Fauci, and Biden own the entire covid mess. Sick of of hearing the “yeah but Trump, yeah but Trump” crap.
“The Fauci diary reveals his obsession with fame, but his recommendations of school and business closures provided fellow narcissists with the
tyrannical tools they needed to lock down cities and states –
Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill deBlasio,
Governor Gretchen Whitmere, Governor Jay Inslee, Governor JB Pritzker.”
.
“Newsom was asked during the news conference if he saw “potential”
to use the coronavirus “crisis” to push for the implementation of a
“new progressive era.” …
.
“… absolutely we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way
we do business and how we govern.”
April 2020 Daily Wire dot com
.
Amid the Covid-19 health crisis, a California judge ruled Monday that
Governor Gavin Newsom exceeded his authority by amending state
election law to require sending vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters,
calling the executive order “an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power.”
.
Church closures, Violation of First Amendment
‘U.S. Supreme Court rules against Newsom on indoor
church services in California COVID-19 case’
.
‘California’s Newsom ordered to pay $1.35M
in settlement with LA-area church over coronavirus restrictions’
.
As we lowly peons sat home during California’s unprecedented covid lockdown
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor newsom AKA the french laundry kid was living it up.

“… absolutely we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business
Student reading and math proficiency continue to decline.
But it’s probably a fair bet, those same test score kids are able to go on
at length reciting all they’ve been taught on genders. Teaching in America
needs a giant reset, back to the basics and toss woke krap in the garbage.
.
‘National test scores are down to the lowest level since testing began and
school spending has shot up, passing $1.1 trillion, while urban schools
dole out such lavish benefits to teachers’ unions as six figure salaries, free
Ozempic and abortions, and public school students suffer.
.
‘Princess Moss’, the new president of the NEA, announced that the National
Education Association, the largest teachers’ union, “can be and must be
the most powerful force in America.”
.
Why make the NEA, which destroyed education for a generation of students
during the COVID lockdowns, into the “most powerful force in America”?
Is it to help the students?”
.
.
Teacher tenure should only be for four years, renewal based upon additional
teacher education and continual IMPROVEMENT student in test scores.
Teachers no longer proficient at teaching, don’t get tenure renewed, it’s that
simple. As for administrators, make them responsible for student achievement,
the outcome for failure, same as in business – – – unemployment.
Creating consequences for failure to educate will go a long way to improving
our educational system.
.
The rise of (dsa) democratic socialists of america is clearly an indicator of
cumulative historical failure to educate students in high schools about
socialism, communism and economics.
.
Educational failures residing in the new NE commie corridor are going to learn
first hand what miserable tenured failures they had for teachers.
.
Other countries are far better at educating their youth than America.
Colleges should not have to teach remedial classes to improve a students
ability to function at a college level instruction.
.
Stop indoctrinating, start educating children for a change.
Another “deal” with Iran?
I’ll bet the Iranians will violate it within 3 days.
No…..I am not being pessimistic, I’m being realistic.
Even if their negotiators want to comply, their religious fanatical Republican Guard & bloodthirsty proxies will never stop.
Iran denies dealing with the USA and insists no new talks are happening.

The Iranian-allied Houthi militia in Yemen attacked a Saudi tanker in the Red Sea 14 hours ago.

Israel is bombing Hezbollah again too, not sure what happened but you can guess who started it.
Apparently there are a couple of California legislators trying to get a bill passed that if you have a 2007 or older you have to pay a $799 fee a year to drive it. This issue I became interested in when my 1998 SUV would not smog even though I wasted lots of expensive gas trying to get the onboard computer to tell me the catalytic converter was okay and at a smog shop it passed the tailpipe emission.
.
My research showed that some states like Washington don’t even do smog tests anymore. The EPA wants California to roll back it’s tests because they’re impractical and some other states have adopted California’s rules. About anything California does these days is impractical.
.
There is a YouTube video about the new proposed fee but since the guy uses some language the Mayor may not like just go look for TK’s Garage and the $799 fee. You will be steamed.
The ONLY WAY to FIX this out of control California is to
VOTE ALL DEMOCRATS OUT of OFFICE at all levels of government ! ! !
.
Agree with video Steve Hilton is only option !
.
If anyone finds out state legislature bill number is Please Post
We’ll have to see if it is real or not. According Scottie’s Hobbies, another follower of vehicle legislation, it is not. Seems there is a bit of feud between those two channels. Scottie’s thinks TK doesn’t research enough. I looked for such a bill yesterday and didn’t find anything but that’s doesn’t mean that two legislators might aren’t proposing one. Seems to me it would be a waste of time because it would be a very unpopular fee.

The state assembly is back in session today after a month’s vacation. They have stacks of bills on their desks. We’ll find out how many the idiocrats will pass and how many they will table. 🙄
Captain Bebops,
.
They should be passing bills to repeal laws, not passing more bills to enact more laws.
Indeed. We are burdened with a tangled mess of over legislation. But I think the problem is that lawyers like to use obscure laws to get clients off.
Captain Bebops,
.
If you want to talk about a “tangled mess,” just take a look at the California State Constitution with its more than 500+ Amendments. I like the proposition system, but it’s made a mess of the California Constitution. Rather than passing a Constitutional Amendment with 50% plus 1 vote, it needs to be changed to either a 3/5 (60.0%) or a 2/3 (66.6%) vote requirement for passage.
.
It shouldn’t be difficult for our legislature to write and pass bills without loopholes, which probably means that they’re intentionally writing them with loopholes.
I’d be shocked if they bother to read Bill Analysis done on bills.

Darwin question,
Being reported that NYC run grocery stores will demand customers show ID.
What about those who can’t figure out how to get an ID ? ? ? ?
Is NYC intentionally, going to starve those people ? ? ?
Stark reminder of newsom administration’s views of substance
abuse, unless of course the press and TV cameras are involved,
then it matters, for like about 20 minutes.
.
“Under Newsom, the percent of treatment discharge records statewide without
the outcome data increased dramatically statewide to over half, with some
counties and/or providers reporting none!”
.
The state spends a significant amount on substance use disorders –
$200Billion federal and state combined. California administers federal
funds but isn’t tracking outcomes. Are the programs even effective?”
.
For last 40+ years starting during carter administration have watched,
what I NOT so affectionately call 90 day, “spin drys” pop up when
government money is shoveled out the door. They disappear once
federal money drys up.
.
Only thing left then, are linoleum floors and folding metal chairs.
President Trump’s economic sanctions on iran are effective.

As of this evening 1,375,245 Iranian rials will get you ONE U.S. Dollar.
Banks may have been closed for a month . . . . to prevent bank runs ? ? ?
.
How much longer it will be until Iranian citizens overthrow their government.
Government continues to hang desentors creating martyrs.
