`America First PAC: the alternative to CPAC

 

Evan James at Big League Politics reports:

The second annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) took place Friday night in Orlando, Florida, the same city where CPAC has been holding its own conference.

The speakers at AFPAC included political commentator Vincent James, reporter Jon Miller, bestselling author and columnist Michelle Malkin, former congressman Steve King, sitting congressman Rep. Paul Gosar, and political commentator and activist Nick Fuentes.

AFPAC is a conference specifically for the dissident wing of conservative politics known as the America First movement. The movement held its first political action conference last year in Washington DC as an invitation only event, but this year’s event opened to the public and sold tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.

. . .

The evening’s third speaker was Michelle Malkin. Continuing the tradition of building her major political speeches on a work of poetry, Malkin on this occasion chose William Ernest Henley’s poem “Invictus.” Per usual she delivered a fiery speech that pulled no punches. She tore into globalist “conservatives” like Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, lobbyists and organizers of CPAC, and she ridiculed the recent attempts by the GOP establishment to coopt the term “America First.”

. . .

All of the speeches from AFPAC II can be watched in their entirety below [at the link above]:

Full report is here.

President Trump made it clear in his CPAC speech that he does not intend to launch a third party;  he is trying to drag the GOP back to the right.  CPAC vs. America First PAC is the debate of the day:  many conservatives are not optimistic that the GOPe can be reformed from within.  I have bookmarked Vincent James’ website TheRed Elephants.

Face Masks and Panic Porn

Panic porn has taken over even the medical community that should know better.  Dr. Ted Noel is an anesthesiologist who has rounded up plenty of data and studies about whether these annoying face masks are doing any good.  He concludes his American Thinker piece:

Of key interest, in one CDC study, 85% of COVID victims report nearly always wearing face masks. One study claiming benefits had to be withdrawn after its conclusions were contradicted by continuing experience. Others have major confounding variables. Mask advocates ignore significant downsides such as reduced personal performance, severe psychosocial consequences, and difficulty breathing. And the Danish Mask Study, a “gold standard” randomized, controlled study, showed no benefit to mask wearing in the general population.

Difficulty breathing is something I didn’t quite appreciate during the thirty-six years I wore a mask on a daily basis in the operating room. After all, masks were a part of life. But I always dropped my mask the moment I left the OR, and almost every other OR staff member did the same. It’s really simple. Masks increase your work of breathing. If you’re wearing a properly fitted N-95, all your air has to come in and out through that filter material. That’s work. And it makes you short of breath.

Do a simple experiment. Fold a bath towel a couple of times and try to breathe through it. Make sure you aren’t breathing around it. The filtration from the fabric creates resistance to air flow. Now do it for several minutes. That’s what breathing through an effective mask feels like. You’ll get short of breath, and as soon as you can, you’ll take it off. What you felt was increased work of breathing. And that’s why the movies often show someone being strangled with a pillow.

Most Americans intuitively recognize that masks don’t reduce infections. But they go along with the virtue signaling to be good citizens. And, to make their own life a bit better, they use a single thickness gaiter over their mouth and nose like a train robber. Or they use a face shield that does nothing at all other than “covering” their mouth and nose without restricting air flow. Often you see them with a mask over their mouth but not their nose. And of course, President Biden doesn’t wear one in the Oval Office.

Returning to Einstein, since a single mask doesn’t help in the general populace, why should anyone think that double masking might help? Or quadruple, as Dr. Segal suggests. Such suggestions fall under the logical designation of “magical thinking.” Or as Albert Einstein is reputed to have said, insanity.

The full article is here.  I wear my mask around my chin as a small protest. I’ve been asked to wear it over nose and mouth only once – at a medical clinic.

How about Mike Gibbons

Rob Portman is not running for re-election in the U.S. Senate. Cleveland Tea Party's Ralph King posts:

Let the swamp games will begin! 

We need a good guy like Mike Gibbons at the top of the list to run for this seat -- not an establishment swamp retread like Slickster Jim Renacci or Ohio's Happy Hypocrite Jon Husted running for this seat.

More about Mr. Gibbons here.

Tea Party 2.0: Look Ahead America

 

Yesterday evening, our household was watching “Tipping Point” on One America News.  Kara McKinney’s guest was Matt Braynard, who was there to introduce viewers to the organization Look Ahead America (Look Ahead America). From their website:

Our Mission

There are millions of rural and blue-collar patriotic Americans who are disaffected and disenfranchised from the nation’s corridors of power. Their fears ignored, their priorities dismissed, their values ridiculed, they’ve become cynical and pessimistic about a government that so often does not hear their voices.

Our mission is to register, educate, and enfranchise these disaffected citizens and ensure that their voices are not just heard but heeded and that the American Dream becomes their dream again.

We will also organize and guide patriotic citizens in lobbying their state legislatures and local governments on America First initiatives like fighting corporate censorship and ensuring voter integrity.

You can join our effort by donating, volunteering, and spreading the word about our daunting but necessary endeavor.

My initial take:  In a sense, this is a natural successor to the 2009 Tea Party initiative, and it is a potential partner to Cleveland Tea Party.

Mr. Braynard was an articulate guest, and he informed viewers of the upcoming grassroots training session (more links to follow).  This organization seeks to influence positive conservative changes at the state and local levels, with election integrity being a major focus. One particular strategy will be to affect change in those states with conservative legislators or leadership.  (Ohio has nominally Republican leadership, so there’s a lot of work to be done.) 

Please visit their website; there are quite a few videos of Mr. Braynard’s appearances describing the organization’s upcoming activities
