Democrat Governors And Mayors Across The Country Intentionally Violating The COVID-1984 Rules They Impose On Their Sheeple Constituents
Gavin Newsom and his fellow Democrat governors and leaders violating the COVID-1984 rules they impose on their constituents.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his Wednesday program with a monologue about the hypocrisy of California elected officials, especially Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who have held the public to account when it comes to obeying measures put in place under COVID-19.
Think of me like Morpheus from the movie ‘The Matrix’, you’re Neo, and we are having the conversation that they had back when Neo was being told how the Matrix actually worked, and why it was crucial to unplug from it. Because if you take the Blue Pill and go back to sleep, you will never understand where you are. I am trying to unplug you right now, so please, take the Red Pill. Thank you.
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)
As more and more Democrat governors in Democrat-run states across the country begin imposing ridiculous lockdown measures, tell you to give up Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations with family and friends, you need to understand a crucial truth. They are not doing that, not even close. Like all tyrants, they have rules for you and and quite different rules for themselves. ‘Lockdown for thee, nut not for me’, as the new, old saying goes.

IF YOUR DEMOCRAT-RUN CITY OR STATE ISSUES COVID-1984 ANTI-THANKSGIVING NO TRAVEL LOCKDOWN ORDERS, GO ANYWAY AND REMEMBER WHY WE’RE FREE
Now here’s the hard part: We all know that anyone who is sick should stay home, anyone who tests positive for COVID-1984 should isolate themselves, everyone should be handwashing, these things are a given. But to allow yourselves to be locked down when you are not sick, to be told you cannot hold a funeral when your leaders are holding them, to be told it’s an “act of love” for you to give up Thanksgiving and Christmas while they meet in secret to have both those events, that is how people become enslaved. Yes, our leaders are trying to enslave us, and if we allow it, we will never again be free.
Watch the video below from Tucker Carlson, see the proof of what I am telling you, and let it make you good and mad, mad enough to stand up, fight back, and not allow them to take your freedom. This is war, and you need to start acting like it, if you don’t you will lose and they will win.
Tucker Carlson: If You Want to Live Like a Human Being Under Coronavirus, You’ve Got to Get Elected to Something
However, as Carlson pointed out, Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have not obeyed those rules.
TUCKER CARLSON: Sometimes a single picture so perfectly crystallizes a moment that you want to hang it in a museum as a testament to history. Dorothea Lange’s photographs of migrant farmworkers in the 1930s are like that. They captured the suffering of the Great Depression more powerfully than any government report ever could.
The image of the second flag-raising over Iwo Jima was so powerful that we cast it in bronze to commemorate the grit and courage of our Marines in the Second World War. Those images summed up entire periods of American life. So, what sums up ours? What picture tells our story? Well, today, we’ve got it for you. Decades from now, our descendants will look at this one image and know what it was like to live in America in the year 2020. We’ll show it to you in just a second. But first some context.
Gavin Newsom is the Governor of California, our largest, and for a long time, our most prosperous state. About 40 million people live in California. So far, two of them under the age of 18 have died of the COVID- 19 virus, so naturally, Gavin Newsom has shut down the entire state.
Businesses are shuttered. People wear masks even as they eat. Large groups are forbidden to congregate. Thanksgiving itself is on its way to being canceled. It’s a tough way to live, but Californians have no choice. This is science, people. Gavin Newsom is California’s epidemiologist-in-chief. He commands obedience and the serfs obey.
With that in mind, The San Francisco Chronicle broke a pretty amazing story this week. Governor Newsom recently attended a birthday dinner up in wine country at the French Laundry. That’s one of the best and most expensive restaurants in the world. There were 12 people at Newsom’s dinner, and to civilians, that number seemed to be a clear violation of Newsom’s own rules.
But as we were told, it really wasn’t. It turns out that Newsom was simply celebrating the birthday of a longtime friend of his, a lobbyist actually called Jason Kinney. A spokesperson for Kinney described the night this way, quote, “This was a small, intimate, 12-person dinner held outdoors with family and a few close friends to celebrate a 50th birthday.”
In other words, no big deal.
For his part, Governor Newsom assured his suffering subjects that quote, “Our family followed the restaurant’s health protocols and took safety precautions.” So really, ladies and gentlemen, it was nothing. Just a small intimate dinner held in nature, under God’s blue skies, just a few close friends staying safe and following the protocols to the letter as mandated by the state that in fact they run. So relax, people. No one is getting ‘rona here. That was the story.
Now the photograph. We have the picture thanks to Fox 11 in Los Angeles, one of the rare local stations that still does reporting. It’s a picture of the birthday dinner up in Napa.
It turns out it was not held outside. It was held in a private room and not a spacious private room either. All 12 people were packed in tight, shoulder to shoulder, breathing on each other. No social distancing here. Not one of them is wearing a mask. A steam room in central Wuhan could not be more contagious than this dinner. Gavin Newsom’s birthday party was a germ factory and his guests were human Petri dishes.
But what a guest list it was. Next to Governor Newsom sat the CEO of the California Medical Association and the one over from him, one of the state’s top health lobbyists. Together, the two of them represent tens of thousands of physicians, credentialed men of science and women of science in the State of California.
So if you’re wondering why, if you live in California, you can’t have Thanksgiving this year or visit your mother as she dies alone in the hospital, it is because of them and people like them. And yet there they were, eating $300.00 truffle pasta and living like this pandemic thing never even happened.
The picture of them doing it known henceforth the history is the French Laundry photograph is the year 2020 condensed to its essence. Here you have plutocrats dining with lobbyists, ignoring the very orders they are so self-righteously imposing on others gorging themselves in seclusion, as the people they’re supposed to be helping wither and die. And then when they’re caught, they lie about it. How perfect is that? It’s all there. Every element: hypocrisy, greed, selfishness, stupidity. This is our national moment in a single picture. Move over Dorothea Lange.
So what’s Gavin Newsom’s explanation for this picture? Well, for the interest of equal time and fairness we’re going to show it to you now.
GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM (D-CA): I made a bad mistake, instead of sitting down, I should have stood up and walked back on my car and drove back to my house. Instead, I chose to sit there with my wife, and a number of other couples that were outside the household. You can quibble about the guidelines, etc., etc. But the spirit of what I’m preaching all the time was contradicted. And I’ve got to own that and so I won’t apologize to you.
CARLSON: Oh, yes, when I saw it, I should have just walked out, got in the car and driven home. OK, Gavin. So you had no idea there are going to be a dozen people at your own party. You’re the Governor, but you never saw the guest list. You were totally shocked. That’s ridiculous.
It’s too stupid to be an explanation, and we are stupider for pretending to believe it. Why not just tell the truth, which is, I don’t really totally believe everything I say, at least not enough to let it interfere with dinner. That’s the truth. You know it, he knows it. But he is forcing us to play along with an absurd lie. On the other hand, at least Gavin Newsom didn’t follow the lead of Nancy Pelosi and blamed the restaurant. He didn’t accuse the maitre d’ of setting him up as part of a conspiracy among the famously right-wing restaurant community in Napa.
The French Laundry probably won’t suffer the same fate as Pelosi’s hairstylist, at least as long as they stay quiet about it. And to his credit, Gavin Newsom didn’t follow the example of Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein has refused to answer any questions as she parades around the Halls of the United States Senate and private airport terminals, FBOs, maskless and exposed — breathing on people, infecting them. No explanation for that. And to be fair, once again, Gavin Newsom’s explanation though, obviously untrue is still better than what his buddy, the lobbyist, the guy they’re having a dinner for has come up with. Through a spokesman, he said, whoa, “The guests specifically requested outdoor seating and that was provided by the restaurant.” Indoor, seats rather. Indoor. That’s what they really were doing.
He is saying they were outdoors, but now we have a picture showing that and he is still claiming it. No, it was outdoors. In other words, ignore the walls and the roof. What looks like inside was actually outside. Got that? Up is down. Black is white. War is peace. Trust me not you’re lying senses. If only the criminal paddle boarder had thought of that. READ MORE

Artificial Intelligence
THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The AI Future We’ve Been So Afraid Of Has Already Arrived And It’s So Much Worse Than You Ever Thought It Would Be
Artificial Intelligence Is Rapidly Becoming The Digital Nervous System Of A Christ-Rejecting World Racing Toward Final Judgment With King Jesus
For years, the world has been conditioned to welcome artificial intelligence as the next great leap forward for humanity. We were told it would help us work faster, think better, solve harder problems, and usher in a new age of peace, safety, and convenience. The sales pitch was polished, reassuring, almost soothing. There was no need to fear, they said. We could control AI, they said. It would only exist to serve mankind, and we’d make sure it would never cross the line. But that line is already gone, and here we are.
“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:15 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the future people once feared is no longer lurking on the horizon like some distant science fiction nightmare. It is here now, embedded in the systems that govern speech, commerce, surveillance, warfare, medicine, education, banking, and human identity itself. It has arrived quietly, efficiently, and with almost no resistance. Worse still, most people do not even realize they are living inside it already. This is not merely a technological revolution, it is a spiritual conditioning program for the last days. Artificial intelligence is not dangerous simply because it is powerful. It is dangerous because it is being placed into the hands of a lost and God-hating world that has already rejected truth, rejected righteousness, and rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. The world laughs at such warnings because it has been trained to mock discernment. But the architecture is already rising all around us. How would you describe it? You know. This is Babel with servers. This is Sodom with software, Pharaoh with algorithms, this is Nebuchadnezzar with machine learning. This is exactly what all those cheesy 1990’s low-budget prophecy movies told you was coming, and you didn’t listen. Here’s a fun fact – the very same people bringing you this dystopian AI digital prison are the very same people waging war in the Middle East, and today we help you connect all the end times dots.

President Trump Sees The ‘Handwriting On The Wall’ That War With Iran Is Virtually Unwinnable And Begins The Process Of Attempting A Face-Saving Exit
President Trump Seeks Endgame in Iran War as NATO Offers No Real Help and Strait of Hormuz Remains Unsettled
After reducing much of Iran to rubble, and having come to the realization that this war is not winnable, President Trump is now reportedly preparing to walk away and leave the smoking ruins to whoever wants it, with the regime still firmly in place, and their ability to launch missiles on their neighbors still very much intact. History will not be kind to this conflict when it’s discussed , and will remain a black mark on the United States for a long time. Time to rename the Department of War, Pete.
“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” Daniel 5:25 (KJB)
What we are watching right now is not strength, it is the ugly public unraveling of a war plan that did not go according to script. Donald Trump entered this conflict speaking like a man who intended to break Iran, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and make the world bow to the image of American power. But here we are at the end of March 2026, and the picture looks very different. Trump has now told the New York Post that this war will not last “much longer” and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen “automatically” after the United States exits. At the same time, White House messaging has shifted to say that fully reopening Hormuz is no longer one of the core U.S. objectives. That is not victory language, that’s a pivot.
Gas has gone over $4 per gallon, airlines say they are out of fuel in a few weeks, NATO has abandoned us, and our nation teeters on the edge of recession. Who thought this war was a good idea, anyway?
When a leader begins by drawing a hard line, then quietly starts redefining the goalposts in the middle of the fight, that usually means the original objective has become too expensive, too difficult, or too politically dangerous to keep defending. Trump had projected the image of decisive military control. Instead, the war has dragged on, the Strait remains disrupted, and the administration is now talking as though the problem will somehow solve itself once America leaves. And then there is the coalition problem. Trump did not get the united Western front that his yes-men in Washington assumed would appear on command. Key European allies have resisted direct support, with countries such as Italy, Spain, and France denying or restricting requests tied to the war effort. Even where some logistical help remains, this is nowhere near a broad NATO-style show of force. Europe is not marching in lockstep behind this campaign, and that matters. So what are we really looking at?
BOMBSHELL: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth accidentally tells the truth that the missiles used by Iran do not pose a threat to the United States. He says Iran’s missiles “don’t even range to the United States of America”. So tell us, Pete, why did we start this war?🤔 pic.twitter.com/pVEzhzbsGA
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 31, 2026
We are looking at the limits of the MAGA doctrine, and quite possibly the functional end of the MAGA Movement itself. We are looking at what happens when a government, drunk on it’s own power, believes it can ignite another Middle East war, manage global oil choke points, control allied governments, pressure Iran into submission, and still walk away looking triumphant. That fantasy is now colliding with reality. Oil markets have been jolted, global shipping has been thrown into uncertainty, and the world has been reminded yet again that once war begins, it rarely obeys the neat political storyline written for it.
This is why the current Trump line about Hormuz reopening “automatically” deserves to be called out for what it is: narrative management. If the Strait were going to be reopened by force, they would say so plainly. If the mission had succeeded on its own stated terms, there would be no need to soften the objective after the fact. Instead, the message now is that America can leave and the desired result will somehow materialize later. That sounds less like a commander finishing the job and more like a politician looking for the least damaging exit ramp. From our perspective, this is another reminder that the nations rage, the kings of the earth strut across the stage, and yet the whole thing is marked by pride, confusion, and instability. Men boast of order, but they keep producing disorder. They promise decisive outcomes, but they deliver wider chaos. They talk peace while dropping bombs, then talk inevitability when they cannot secure the very result they said was necessary at the start. That is not wisdom. That is the blindness of power drunk on its own mythology.
Facts? Here’s some facts:
• 14 US soldiers killed
• 178 Iranian schoolgirls killed in US airstrike
• $1,000,000,000.00 cost per day
• No clearly stated goals
• No exit strategy other than Trump’s ‘feeling in his bones’. https://t.co/eJ1dJEgPLj— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 13, 2026
The real lesson here is not merely that Trump may be cutting his losses. The deeper lesson is that modern political power remains what it has always been when separated from truth: loud, forceful, theatrical, and ultimately fragile. This war was sold in the language of control. It is now being reframed in the language of retreat. And that is the headline beneath the headline. Trump can call it strategy, his boot-licking defenders can call it leverage, and Fox News can call it a recalibration. But to those of us with eyes that see, it sure looks like this war did not go as planned, the allies never truly came on board, the Strait of Hormuz remains the visible symbol of unfinished business, and the White House is already preparing the public for an ending that falls far short of the original implied promise.
One more thing. To say that Donald Trump has a ‘mercurial’ nature would be a vast understatement, so I will close with the possibility that he could change his mind by five o’clock tonight and send the ground troops in anyway. To quote Forrest Gump, our president is very much like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get. Bring our soldiers home, it’s time to say goodbye to World War Trump.

Here Are The 5 Main Attributes About The Day Of The Lord Time Period That’ll Help You To Understand The Day Of Christ And The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble
The Day of Christ is the Rapture of the Church and the Day of the Lord as an event is the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble, they are not the same
There is some confusion today about the Day of Christ and the Day of the Lord, just as there is a similiar confusion between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. When we search the scriptures, comparing scripture with scripture, we see clearly both the difference and similarities between these things subjects that are so passionately debated in our day. So today we present you the first article in a series devoted to the topic of the Day of Christ and the Day of the Lord.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. “ 2 Timothy 2:15,16 (KJB)
The Kingdom of Heaven is the kingdom that the Lord Jesus Christ establishes as KING OF KINGS on this Earth at the Second Advent. It is a literal, visible and physical kingdom set up in Jerusalem on the throne of David, and it is for the Jews. The Kingdom of God, on the other hand, though it might sound similiar, is quite different. The Kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom that you must be born again to enter into, it is for the Body of Christ, and it is the gospel that Paul preached. I am talking about this because, in much the same way, people have also conflated the Day of Christ – for the Church, and the Day of the Lord – for Israel, and they cannot possibly be the same thing, either. For more detailed information, we refer you to our Radio Bible Studies on this topic about both the Day of Christ and the Day of the Lord.
5 Main Attributes Of The Day Of The Lord
Is the Day of the Lord an actual day on the calendar? Yes. Is the Day of the Lord also the 7-year time of Jacob’s trouble? Yes. Is the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, the Day of Christ, the first event that takes place at the start of the Day of the Lord time period? Yes. Is the Millennial Reign also the Day of the Lord? Yes. So we see that the Day of the Lord as a period of time, different from the Day of the Lord as either a 7-year event or a singular calendar day, encompasses all the end times events for Christians and the Church, as well as for the Jews and Israel. It’s a prophetic package deal. Now, I’ll grant you it’s a lot to swallow at one time, which is one of the reasons why Isaiah calls this – all of this – God’s ‘strange work’ and His ‘strange act’. “For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” Isaiah 28:21 (KJB)
- 1). THE DAY OF THE LORD IS A PERIOD OF TIME: All the Old Testament prophets talk about the Day of the Lord, leaving out the ‘mystery’ of the Church Age Rapture of course, but this is dealt with in the New Testament by Paul. The Day of the Lord at its highest level is a period of time where God is visibly inserting Himself into the affairs of men, beginning with the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, and lasting all the way to the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the Millennium. All these events that take place during this 1,007+ year period all fall under the heading of the Day of the Lord time period. If you miss that, every conclusion you come to hereafter will be off. “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.” 1 Corinthians 15:24,25 (KJB)
- 2). THE PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE KICKS IT OFF: The very first event of the Day of the Lord is actually the Day of Christ, also called the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. For the first time in 2,000 years, God shows Himself visibly to his born again children, and pulls them up into the clouds to be with Him. The Day of Christ is the first in a long series of end times events called the Day of the Lord. The prophets do not mention this event, but Paul with the revelation given him of this mystery, tells us everything we need to know about it. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 (KJB)
- 3). THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE IS NEXT: After the Body of Christ, the Church is removed, God then turns His attention to the Jewish people and Israel in a 7-year long event called the time of Jacob’s trouble that includes the great Tribulation in it’s last 3.5 years. “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)
- 4). THE CALENDAR DAY OF THE LORD HAPPENS NOW: We must also remember that the Day of the Lord, in addition to being a period of time, also has an exact calendar day attached to it. On this Day, King Jesus mounts up with His Body on white horses, and we return with Him to Earth at the Second Advent. The purpose of this trip is to fight the Battle of Armageddon, rescue the believing Jewish remnant, and to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth for a 1,000 period of perfect rule and reign. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Revelation 19:11,14 (KJB)
- 5). GOG AND MAGOG & THE GREAT WHITE THRONE: When the 1,000 years are over, the battle of Gog and Magog takes place, the Great White Throne Judgment happens, and everything on every level is finally set right. This concludes the entire Day of the Lord time period, Jesus having now said and done everything the apostles and prophets said He would do, and He ushers in Eternity. “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12 (KJB)
The Day Of Christ Is To Be Desired
Here are just a few of the many Bible verses about the Day of Christ being the ‘blessed hope’ and ‘comfort’ of the born again believer:
- “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJB)
- “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3 (KJB)
- “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 (KJB)
- “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16 (KJB)
- “That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;” Philippians 1:10 (KJB)
The Day Of The Lord Is To Be Feared
The Day of the Lord is the polar opposite of the Day of Christ, as you can see in these verses:
- “Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?” Amos 5:18-20 (KJB)
- “Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.” Isaiah 13:6 (KJB)
- “Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.” Joel 1:15 (KJB)
- “And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?” Joel 2:11 (KJB)
- “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.” Zephaniah 1:14 (KJB)
The Day of Christ is similiar to the Day of the Lord (Jacob’s trouble) in the sense that the first is the culmination of everything the born again believer has been waiting for since they got saved, while the second is the culmination of all the promises made to the Jewish people by the prophets. The are both monumental and irrevocable events that forever change the participants. The main theme in your King James Bible is the coming King and the coming Kingdom. All the events connected to it, whether for the Church or for the Jews, are all part of the overall Day of the Lord in the preparation of His coming kingdom. Also please remember that at the Second Advent, King Jesus comes with His Body – the Kingdom of God – to establish His kingdom on Earth – the Kingdom of Heaven. The Day of Christ perfects and redeems the Body of Christ, and the Day of the Lord, as a 7-year event, perfects and redeems the Jews. With this, we have perfect scriptural harmony and excellent understanding of the time period known as the Day of the Lord.
In a follow-up article to this one, Lord willing, we will address the argument that the Day of Christ does not apply or refer to the Rapture of the Church, but instead refers to the Jews in the Tribulation.
Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church
