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

Democratic Socialists
THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As America Turns 250, Zohran Mamdani And The Democratic Socialists Of America Ironically Take Control Of New York City
Zohran Mamdani As The Socialist Kingmaker Is Turning New York Into A Political Machine As The Democratic Party’s Left Wing Gains Real Power
You talk about irony, man, this is one for the record books. As America is already knee-deep in celebrations of our 250th year of our founding as a Constitutional Republic, the recently-elected Socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has launched a coup. House Democrats were left stunned on Tuesday night after two of their colleagues — including the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — lost primaries to left-wing, Mamdani-backed Socialist challengers. Like it or not, we’ve now come face to face with National Democratic Socialism under the leadership of a fiery, Jew-hating, charismatic leader. Hmm, what does that remind you of? Achtung!, America, the wolf is at the door, and he’s hungry.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiasties 1:9 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump’s declaration that “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” may sound like a bold defense of the Republic, but it collapses under the weight of his own actions. You cannot publicly warn America about communism while publically lending credibility to the most prominent Socialist mayor in the country. That is not conviction, that is contradiction. Mamdani does not need Trump to endorse his ideology; he only needs Trump to normalize his presence, elevate his status, and treat him as a legitimate governing partner. And Trump has done exactly that. Once that happened, the Socialist left has already gained something far more valuable than applause: respectability. This is how radical movements advance in America. They do not usually arrive wearing the uniform of revolution; they arrive through elections, headlines, photo-ops, federal meetings, political compromise, and carefully managed public relations. A man can be denounced as dangerous on Monday and then treated as a respectable stakeholder on Tuesday, and suddenly the line between opposition and accommodation disappears. Trump may think he is controlling the narrative by calling Mamdani a communist, but the more he centers him, meets with him, and speaks of him as someone he can work with, the more Mamdani becomes a national figure instead of merely a New York City Democratic Socialist. The real danger is not only Zohran Mamdani’s socialism, but the broader collapse of moral clarity in the American political class. At 250 years old, America is not being threatened merely because radicals are running for office; she is being threatened because too many leaders who claim to oppose radicalism are helping make it respectable. Today we visit the Democratic Socialist Revolution underway in America, and show you just what that might mean for our immediate, short-term future.

Warning: The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To Scripture And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine
The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To The Words Of God And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine
The Passion Translation controversy is not merely an argument over Bible version preference, translation style, or whether modern English sounds more “readable” than old English. It is a much deeper issue than that. At its heart, The Passion Translation represents the ongoing attempt by modern charismatic Christianity to replace the fixed words of God with emotional experience, mystical interpretation, and so-called “apostolic” revelation. That is why Bible believers are sounding the alarm, and rightly so.
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)
The Passion Translation is marketed as a Bible, promoted like a Bible, quoted like a Bible, preached from like a Bible, and used devotionally by millions as though it were Scripture. But when examined honestly, it reads far more like a charismatic paraphrase than a faithful translation of the words of God. It does not simply tell the reader what the verse says. It repeatedly tells the reader what Brian Simmons and the Passion Translation team think the verse should feel like. That is a major difference.
The King James Bible says:
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5 (KJB)
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)
God’s words are pure, full stop. Man is not invited to improve them, intensify them, romanticize them, update them with charismatic catchphrases, or insert “heart language” that the Holy Ghost did not place there. A Bible translation should be judged by its faithfulness to the text, not by how emotionally moving it sounds. The Passion Translation reverses that order. It often prizes tone, atmosphere, feeling, and devotional impact over textual accuracy. That may appeal to the modern worship culture at Hillsong and Bethel, but it is deadly to Bible doctrine.
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJB)
This is where the New Apostolic Reformation connection becomes impossible to ignore. NAR-style Christianity thrives on modern apostles, prophets, impartations, signs, wonders, fresh revelation, destiny language, kingdom-now expectation, and emotional encounter with God. The Passion Translation fits that ecosystem perfectly. It gives that movement a Bible-sounding text already flavored with its own vocabulary and assumptions. It is spiritually deadly if you value Bible truth. When a charismatic preacher stands up and says “the Bible says,” but then reads from a paraphrase that has already inserted charismatic interpretation into the verse, the listener is no longer hearing the words of God. He is hearing doctrine smuggled into the form of Scripture. That is not Bible translation, that’s doctrinal manipulation.
The King James Bible says:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB)
The Passion Translation does not train people to study, it trains them to feel. It gives them an instant devotional high, a warm spiritualized impression, and a mystical experience of the verse — but too often at the expense of the actual words on the page. That matters because doctrine is built on words. Paul did not say vaguely inspiring things by accident. The Holy Ghost gave precise words, precise grammar, precise doctrine, precise distinctions. That is especially important for Church Age truth. Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and the rest of Paul’s epistles cannot be safely handled by a paraphrase that rewrites doctrine into emotional experience.
A new believer reading The Passion Translation may come away thinking the Christian life is mainly about supernatural encounter, prophetic destiny, impartation, emotional intimacy, and mystical union language. But a Bible believer reading the King James Bible learns sound doctrine, rightly divided truth, the finished work of Christ, the difference between Israel and the Church, law and grace, prophecy and mystery, and the believer’s standing in Christ. That is the difference between spiritual emotion and spiritual truth.
The Passion Translation’s defenders often say, “It helps people love the Bible.” But that is the wrong defense. A paraphrase that changes the words of Scripture is not justified because people enjoy reading it. Golden calves are always popular. The question is not whether people like it. The question is whether it is faithful to the preserved words of God, and it is not.
The Bible says:
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 (KJB)
Truth sanctifies. Not mood. Not atmosphere. Not spiritualized paraphrase. Not the passion of a translator. The words of God are the issue.
The Passion Translation is especially troubling because it comes at a time when much of professing Christianity is already moving away from doctrinal preaching and toward emotionally charged worship experiences, prophetic impressions, dreams, visions, and spiritual entertainment. In that environment, TPT does not correct the error. It feeds it. It gives the modern church exactly what it already wants: a Bible that sounds like Hillsong, Bethel, and the NAR prayer room. That is not a compliment.
A Bible believer does not need a Bible that sounds like the worship industry. A Bible believer needs the Book that reproves, corrects, instructs, divides truth from error, exposes false doctrine, and magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)
Notice the first thing Scripture is profitable for: doctrine. Not emotional atmosphere. Not spiritual goosebumps. Not a “fresh word.” Doctrine.
The Passion Translation weakens that because it blurs the boundary between what God said and what man wants the reader to feel. Once that boundary is gone, anything can be made to sound biblical. NAR impartation theology can sound biblical. Modern apostolic authority can sound biblical. Dominionist kingdom language can sound biblical. Mystical union language can sound biblical. And why? Because the paraphrase has already done the theological work before the reader ever opens the page. That is why the warning is necessary.
The issue is not that Brian Simmons is passionate. The issue is not that people find the wording beautiful. The issue is not that it has helped someone in a difficult season. The issue is whether Christians have the right to call something “the Bible” when it repeatedly expands, interprets, and reshapes the inspired text. They absolutely do not.
The King James Bible believer is not being narrow-minded here. He is being obedient. God did not tell us to preserve the feeling of His words. He gave us His words, and His promise to preserve them forever. There is no promise to preserve a ‘message’.
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89 (KJB)
The Passion Translation is unsettled by design. It is interpretive, expansive, experiential, and movement-friendly. It is the kind of Bible product that could only thrive in a generation already trained to value experience over exposition, the Laodicean Church Age. That is why it must be duly marked and avoided. The faithful pastor, teacher, parent, and Bible believer should warn others plainly – The Passion Translation is not a trustworthy Bible translation. It is a charismatic paraphrase that repeatedly adds to the text, changes the tone of doctrine, and aligns naturally with New Apostolic Reformation thinking. Use it as Scripture, and you will eventually absorb its theology. Stick with the Book.
