We’ll admit it – we’re worried for two and one-half reasons about tonight’s debate. Tonight’s debate at 9 p.m. ET should have President Trump as the victor but we are very worried. But unlike the worry warts and ratings hunters like Tucker/Ingraham/Hannity who love to exploit worry and fear for personal profit we have solutions not just worries.
Our number one worry goes back to something Ross Perot said about debates. Perot rightly noted that in a boxing ring there are three people – the two combatants and the referee. If the referee is not neutral or fair the battle is over before it begins.
Tonight the “referee” is Chris Wallace. Wallace hates President Trump and President Trump has insulted Wallace on several occasions due to Wallace’s bias and outright Trump hatred.
Chris Wallace knows that the first half hour of the debate will be crucial because many voters only watch for the first half hour out of curiosity. It might not be the case this election cycle but the first half hour is very important as is the last half hour because some viewers might tune in only at the very end of the ninety minute debate.
Chris Wallace hates President Trump so Wallace might try to make Biden look good or even attack President Trump with a phony “fact check”. Wallace and Fox News (Trump haters all) will also want to demonstrate to viewers how “impartial” Fox News is and the way to get great publicity from leftist Big Media outlets is to protect Biden and attack President Trump.
Our second big worry is that if President Trump tells the truth about Slow Sleepy Joe it will appear as elder abuse. Joe Biden is a mental vegetable but pointing that out and/or forcing Sleepy Joe Biden to face the harsh truth of his vegetative state might induce sympathy in voters watching the debate.
A lesser worry is that Biden has rested this entire campaign while President Trump is very active. Biden has prepared his attack plan very well and rehearsed non-stop. This is smart for Biden. We’re not that worried about this aspect of the debate because President Trump knows how to adlib and is very quick on his feet. As long as President Trump has a strategy for the debate he will do very well.
What should President Trump do? He should attack Sleepy Biden in ways not expected.
First, President Trump should ask why Joe Biden has yet to give his blessings to, and visit Hunter Biden’s bastard child. President Trump should note that Biden and hypocrite Obama Dimocrats always talk about women and oppression of women but that in this case Biden has remained silent as Hunter Biden abused the mother of his bastard child.
President Trump should threaten Biden by saying that if Biden does not visit and bless Hunter’s bastard child President Trump will show up at Biden’s Delaware house with the mother and child and confront Biden the hypocrite. It would also not hurt to tell the audience watching how Hunter Biden was thrown out of the Navy for being a crackhead, then left his own wife to screw the wife of Beau Biden, then dumped Beau Biden’s widow in order to smoke crack and impregnate a stripper, then lied in court about not being the father of the bastard child, refusing to pay child support for the little bastard, then dumping them all to get married to another woman. Americans have not heard those facts.
We’ll add another worry at this point. And that is that the truth from President Trump will be so shocking and so difficult to believe that many will not think it is possible. Big Media has kept most of the Joe Biden facts hidden from the public that many Americans have never heard the truth about Biden before.
As to “issues”. President Trump should demand Joe Biden call on all Obama Dimocrat senators to meet with Amy Coney Barrett. Also, President Trump should demand that Biden denounce the anti-Catholic bias of Feinstein and friends.
On the “tax” attacks from the New York Times on the eve of the debate, President Trump should confess to taking millions from the wife of the mayor of Moscow and then correct himself and announce that it was Hunter Biden that took the millions from Moscow. That should open up attacks against James Biden and the rest of the crooked Biden family. President Trump should also ask Biden how he became rich with only a government salary for 47 years.
What removes our worries is looking back at the debates in 2016. Candidate Trump destroyed Harvard trained debaters such as Cruz and demolished the rest of the top Republican field, as well as eventually – Hillary Clinton. President Trump also has a record now which includes massive Middle East peace achievements, destruction of ISIS, death of killers, a MAGA economy, proof he has been right all along about China and their deadly threat to America, the WALL and crushing illegal immigration, innovative methods to combat Chinese CoronaVirus, the phony RussiaRussiaRussia corruptions of Obama/Biden, and the return to LAW AND ORDER.
To sum up, President Trump’s enemy tonight is Big Media, not the feeble Joe Biden who will be pumped up with Dr. Feelgood shots of amphetamines.
Update: This convention is quite spectacular. Our expectations were that it would be a bore and useless. This is well produced and crafted. The speakers are not only attacking but defending. Melania’s speech took all the Trump manners that offend some people and turned those manners into solid reasons why PDT is the man for the job. That PDT might be crude and too tough is now explained to the public as someone who fights with all he has for the American public.
The live appearances are infinitely better than the prefabricated rubbish from the Dims.
As to Melania’s outfit: it is a smackdown of Moochelle Obama. The color of outfits are the same. Melania’s outfit is a ready for combat look contrary to Moochelle’s loutish look fit for a cocktail waitress. Note also the waistline. Melania is able to wear a belt around her waist that emphasizes her figure. Moochelle couldn’t wear that belt around her ankles, let alone the waist. On substance, Melania slapped down attacks and chose to demonstrate a unity message.
As to Big Media, Mr. Sandman did a very good job denouncing fake news and the Big Media propaganda:
Nicholas Sandmann: “I learned that what was happening to me had a name. It was called being cancelled, as in annulled, as in revoked … Cancelled is what’s happening to people around this country who refuse to be silenced by the far left.” https://t.co/ae9Q2Lnaom#RNC2020pic.twitter.com/XcvV8nBNfE
Ca-Ca-Mala Harris and Sloppy Joe Biden are a convention of criminal dunces. Instead of using the Dim convention to not only attack President Trump but also to insulate themselves from the carpet bombing attacks to come by the genius President Trump and his campaign, Ca-Ca-Mala and Sloppy chose to ignore reality. President Trump will now schlong reality onto the dunce duo. Yup, the Trump convention is on.
President Trump and Vice President Pence are already voted on as the nominees on the first day of the RNC convention. Now the attacks can begin. The attacks will be based on the Obama Dimocrat totalitarian left violent attacks against America in Dimocrat controlled cities.
In sum the President Trump campaign will be “LAW AND ORDER”. The choice for American voters will be a President Trump who makes promises and keeps promises versus a lawless and corrupt Biden/Harris.
The burning of cities dominated by Obama Dimocrats are the issue. White liberal thugs and Black thugs are set upon destroying America. President Trump will point to the blue state model and say to American voters “Vote against this filth which threatens America, your lives, your property.”
The rule of law, and order, extends to illegal immigration. Enforce the law to create and maintain order. On every issue, even the economy, the rule of law, the maintenance of order are essential to economic strength and growth.
Law and Order as a campaign message for President Trump is obvious. The dumb Dims know it but can’t do anything about that message because if Ca-Ca-Mala Harris and Sloppy Joe demand Law and Order alongside President Trump the totalitarian left burning cities will turn against the duo of death. Even the NeverTrump whores know it:
This is why Trump is leaning so hard into the LAW AND ORDER message. It’s starting to resonate—and beyond Trump’s base. And my guess is you’ll hear a lot about violence at the convention as R’s want to make sure they connect it to Democratic lead cities and not Trump’s America.
Trump Trails Biden, but Polls Show the President Has Some Strengths
Trump’s image has improved among white voters, and Republicans are growing more interested in the election [snip]
An improved image among white voters: Among white voters, Mr. Trump lags behind his 2016 vote share as recorded by exit polls. But in a sign of improvement, white voters in the most recent Journal/NBC News survey were divided almost equally between positive and negative views of the president. Four years ago, by contrast, negative views significantly outweighed positive ones among white voters, 54% to 35%.
“Trump improved his image among whites by about 20 points in the last four years,” said Micah Roberts, a Republican pollster who works on the Journal/NBC News survey with Democrat Jeff Horwitt. “That’s very important because they are more than 70% of the electorate.”
Holding steady with Hispanics: Mr. Trump trails his 2016 support levels among many groups, polling finds. Among Hispanic voters, by contrast, he appears to have maintained or even improved his standing.
Some 31% of the nation’s largest ethnic or racial minority group say they will back the president, a slightly higher share than the 28% who voted for him in 2016, according to exit polls.
Hispanic voters aren’t a unified bloc, and their partisan profile varies by state. But Mr. Trump could make gains in Florida, Arizona and several other battleground states if he cuts into Democratic margins among Hispanic voters.
Rising interest among Republicans: Intensity and anger can drive turnout, and Democrats sought to use their convention last week to unify voters who dislike Mr. Trump’s combative style.
But Mr. Trump has also boosted Republican intensity. This week’s convention has the potential to raise it further.
Interest in the election has risen among Republicans in the past month and now matches Democratic interest. Some 85% of Republicans rate themselves as highly interested in the election, compared with 83% of Democrats.
Some 27% of voters say they would be optimistic and confident if Mr. Trump were elected, compared with 14% who said so in 2016. By contrast, 19% of voters said before the Democratic convention that they would be optimistic about Mr. Biden’s election.
Up-for-grabs voters lean Republican: The Journal/NBC News survey in July looked at voters who haven’t ruled out either candidate and are “in play” in November. These voters as a group have characteristics that suggest they are open to Mr. Trump and his party.
Some 22% have a positive image of Mr. Trump, while only 11% have a positive image of Mr. Biden, the July poll found. They prefer a candidate who will confront the Washington establishment, a hallmark of Mr. Trump’s pitch to voters, over one who makes an appeal based on competence and compassion, key themes during the Democratic convention. In addition, these voters want Republicans to lead the next Congress rather than Democrats, 42% to 25%.
Trump leads in the economic argument: Polls have consistently turned up voters who say Mr. Trump has done a good job handling the economy but won’t commit to re-electing him. In August, 48% said he was the candidate best able to deal with the economy, 10 percentage points more than said so of Mr. Biden, and yet more people said they would vote for the Democrat.
Mr. Trump is sure to use the convention week to argue that voters who think he can revive the economy should send him back to the White House.
“Mr. Trump is still favored on the economy, and that’s the top issue people are using to decide their vote,” said Mr. Roberts, the Republican pollster.
“Burn, baby, Burn” used to be a slogan in favor of riots during the age of riots in America. The result was the Democrats were destroyed on election day.
“Burn, baby, Burn” is back. American voters will once again burn down the rioters and their supporters – Obama Dimocrats all.
Tucker Carlson is a smart guy who belongs to the Anne Coulter school of hysterics. Tucker and Coulter are constantly in the whine cellar shouting idiocies such as “If President Trump does not do _________ he will lose.” Then Trump wins having ignored the idiot advice from Tucker Coulter. Sean Hannity is just a weakling who constantly spills whine about his mother being a prison guard and how he studies martial arts as he wears pins from the F.B.I. and other corrupt forces of the Deep State. Hannity does not want to fight however.
With Coulter the issue is illegal immigration and if President Trump does not obey Coulter on immediately doing everything she wants the way she wants it then “President Trump will lose.” Coulter’s sole variant is how she constantly openly attacks President Trump and declares she won’t vote for him.
The most disloyal actual retard that has ever set foot in the Oval Office is trying to lose AND take the Senate with him. Another Roy Moore fiasco so he can blame someone else for his own mess. https://t.co/fIzHtmbOfR
Tucker Carlson recently hosted a dishonest discussion with Jeff Sessions and bemoaned the fact that Jeff Sessions was so good on immigration issues but people were disloyal to him. Dishonestly left unmentioned was the fact that it is President Trump leading the charge against Jeff Sessions because Jeff Sessions abandoned his position as Attorney General and let the Deep State run rampant to attack President Trump for years at the DOJ and FBI:
“Alabama needs to send a very strong voice to Washington,” Sessions added. “We need to send somebody who can stand up and take the heat, who is not afraid, and I’ve done that. They don’t have anything on me. I’m not worried about him one bit, and that even includes my friends in the Republican conference, and we need to fight. This country is at risk. Law enforcement, as you just talked about, is one of the worst situations ever. It cannot be that we allow law enforcement to be denigrated the way it is today.”
Tucker Carlson was very dishonest in his interview with Jeff Sessions. Unmentioned was how Sessions alongside Conservative Treehouse loon Sundunce and the Q-Anon filth declared “Trust Sessions”. These liars called President Trump a liar that was immersed in a plot alongside Jeff Sessions and that it was all a pretend game to somehow net a bunch of Deep State conspirators. Now that President Trump is in direct and strong opposition to Sessions’ Senate primary hopes the Q-Anon filth continue to propagandize that President Trump is still working with Jeff Sessions.
Jeff Sessions is right about one thing: “We need to send somebody who can stand up and take the heat, who is not afraid…” When Jeff Sessions had the opportunity to “stand up and take the heat” Jeff Sessions faded from the heat and stood down. Dishonestly, Tucker Carlson did not mention any of these facts to his audience. Tucker Carlson did not mention that it is President Trump and supporters of President Trump who want to remove Jeff Sessions.
Sean Hannity is a different sort. He brags about how tough he is but then he excuses the FBI and other malefactors. Hannity wears pins of these corrupt organizations to display solidarity with them. Hannity’s argument is that the leadership of these corrupt organizations are the problem but that otherwise everyone else is a-ok. But Hannity provides no proof of this silly contention.
If Hannity was correct and the agents of the FBI and other corrupt organizations are good, that the problem is only the leadership, then where is the proof?? If Hannity was or is correct, dozens or even hundreds, thousands, of FBI agents would have taken action against the corrupt leadership. But no agents stood up and denounced Comey or Sessions or the “lovers”. Where were the good guys Hannity? Where?
Our biggest beef with Sean Hannity, boy weakling, is how thoroughly weak he is. How weak is Sean Hannity? Via NPR, let’s look at a major story of this week and how the totalitarian left strongly exercises power:
#Goyaway: Calls To Boycott Goya Foods After CEO Praises President Trump
Twitter users are calling for a boycott of Goya Foods, a brand most known for its Hispanic-staple food offerings, after the CEO of the company lavished praise on President Trump during a Thursday visit to the White House.
Robert Unanue, chief executive of the family-owned operation since 2004, said the country was “blessed” to have Trump at the helm, during remarks following a roundtable with Hispanic business and political leaders from across the country.
“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said during the Rose Garden speech.
“We have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country — that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”
Unanue also announced a plan, along with some partners, to donate 1 million cans of Goya chickpeas and 1 million pounds of food to food banks.
The left constantly targets Sean Hannity with boycotts. Sean Hannity is personally afraid of boycotts. That must be why Sean Hannity tells his viewers he does not support boycotts. How deep is the stupid with this position? The left targets businesses but Trump supporters are told boycotts are bad. Here’s a clue for Sean Hannity: Trump supporters should boycott as many companies as possible when those companies support the totalitarian left.
What should Trump supporters do? First, get out of the whine cellar. Stop whining. Stop pouring whine. Do.
When you see something on Big Media that angers you, throw a dollar in a Trump jar. Instead of moping and grousing and whining – donate. You might bankrupt yourself if you donate every time Big Media lies, but commit to donate as much as you can periodically to the President Trump campaign. Don’t give to anyone else. President Trump is what matters and all candidates will win or lose depending on how big President Trump wins. Don’t whine.
Boycott. If you hate this website, boycott us. If the NFL playing the “black national anthem” alongside the Star Spangled Banner except that the scum millionaires “take a knee” when the national anthem is played and that angers you – DON’T WHINE – BOYCOTT.
If you watch NFL games but are angry at the NFL for its insults against President Trump, Trump supporters, America, freedom and liberty, THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
If you have to buy from totalitarian leftists like Amazon do what the leftists do when they buy “carbon waivers” for the fake climate change crazy – donate to the President Trump campaign as an amends.
Above all, don’t whine. President Trump fights and it is important to fight alongside him.
President Trump and President Trump supporters should take what Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity prescribe with cartons full of salt. Their interests are in ratings and hysteria that drives ratings.
President Trump knows that he is doing. The Tucker Coulter and Sean Insanities scream and shout but President Trump knows this election once again is like none other. Ordinarily a campaign starts with soft biographies of the candidate, moves on to vicious attacks against the opponent, then in the final week or two moves back to soft, glossy, sweetness about the candidate just before the election. This election year however will be a hate-fest against President Trump and we trust his instincts on when to do what.
Reject Ann Coulterism and weakness from the likes of Hannity (Steve Hilton is beyond idiot and should go back to socialist Britain with his stupidities). Lou Dobbs of Fox Business and One America News know what they are talking about.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday for the Trump administration in a key immigration case, determining that a federal law limiting an asylum applicant’s ability to appeal a determination that he lacked a credible fear of persecution from his home country does not violate the Constitution.
The ruling means the administration can deport some people seeking asylum without allowing them to make their case to a federal judge. The 7-2 ruling applies to those who fail their initial asylum screenings, making them eligible for quick deportation. [spin]
Alito’s opinion also shot down the argument that the IIRIRA violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, citing an 1892 decision that ruled that for “foreigners who have never been naturalized, nor acquired any domicil or residence within the United States, nor even been admitted into the country pursuant to law,” decisions of administrative or executive officers exercising powers granted by Congress amount to due process. [snip]
The Trump administration is seeking to expand authority so that people detained anywhere in the U.S. and up to two years after they got here could be quickly deported. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court threw out a trial judge’s ruling that had blocked the expanded policy.
There will likely be more on this in the comments.
Have you ever been to Seattle? They took over a big chunk and the governor, who’s radical left, all of these places I talk about are Democrat, you know that, every one of them, every one of them. And I’d have an offer out, I said, “Anytime you want we’ll come in, we’ll straighten it out in one hour or less.” Now I may be wrong, but it’s probably better for us to just watch that disaster.
I flew in with some of our great congressmen, who we’re going to introduce it a second. And I said to them, “Congressmen, what do you think? I can straighten it out fast, should we just go in? No, sir. Let it simmer for a little while. Let people see what radical left Democrats will do to our country.”
The totalitarian left plans a “long, hot summer” for America. But in November the American People will re-elect President Trump and reject definitively the totalitarian left.
‘It got ugly’: What happened when Black Lives Matter protests came to small town Ohio
BETHEL, Ohio – Donna Henson sat on her front porch this weekend, as she always does when the weather is nice, and watched dozens of her neighbors walk by with bats in their hands or guns strapped to their sides.
They were married couples, friends and relatives, young people and old. All heading up Union Street, toward the center of town.
Henson, 78, figured they’d heard the same rumors she had, the ones about busloads of people coming to her town to join small Black Lives Matter protests on Sunday and Monday in Bethel, Ohio. Word was hundreds could be arriving from Cincinnati or Columbus or Detroit.
Henson was afraid, and she guessed her neighbors were, too. If they didn’t do something, if they didn’t show up armed and ready, the protests and unrest they’d seen on TV for weeks on far off American streets could come here, to Bethel, a village of 2,800.
“Everybody had a gun,” Henson said Tuesday, recalling the scene. “Like a cowboy show.”
A movement that had swept into much of the nation’s big cities was about to reach a small town, a rural enclave where the message from demonstrators would be heard not as a wake-up call or a rallying cry, but as a challenge to a way of life.
As America began the pushback against racist terrorist organizations such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, President Trump is on the job.
…..This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!
The Interior Department Secretary likewise is doing what needs to be done to protect monuments and national property from the organized vandals of the totalitarian left.
I just left Lafayette Square where another so called “peaceful protest” led to destruction tonight. Let me be clear: we will not bow to anarchists. Law and order will prevail, and justice will be served.
— Secretary David Bernhardt (@SecBernhardt) June 23, 2020
President Trump is also moving ahead with deporting illegal aliens. In this President Trump won a big victory in court:
The new D.C. Circuit ruling found a lower court judge erred last September when she barred the expansion of “expedited removal,” which had previously been used for immigrants taken into custody within 100 miles of the Mexican border and only when agents contend the immigrants have been in the U.S. for less than 2 weeks.
The plan the appeals court greenlighted Monday would allow authorities to use the sped-up process with alleged illegal immigrants picked up anywhere in the country who appear to have been in the U.S. for less than two years. The process typically bypasses immigration judges and provides for no review of their decisions in the cases where they are brought in.
President Trump on Monday signed an executive order to suspend the issuance of certain temporary worker visas through the end of 2020, cracking down further on immigration after signing a more narrow measure in April.
The order applies to H-1B visas, H-2B visas, H-4 visas, L-1 visas and certain J-1 visas. It is the latest effort by the Trump administration to satisfy immigration hawks and groups that argue American workers should be prioritized, especially amid the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The great pushback is aided by the appointments to the federal courts President Trump has made. One big pushback is the Circuit Court’s schlonging of Judge Sullivan in the case of General Michael Flynn:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 Wednesday that a lower court must grant a request by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.). [snip]
The appeals court judges in the case were: Karen Henderson, Robert Wilkins, and Neomi Rao. Wilkins is a former President Obama appointee, Rao is a President Trump appointee, and Henderson is a former President George H.W. Bush appointee. [snip]
[T]his is plainly not the rare case where further judicial inquiry is warranted. To begin with, Flynn agrees with the government’s motion to dismiss, and there has been no allegation that the motion reflects prosecutorial harassment. Additionally, the government’s motion includes an extensive discussion of newly discovered evidence casting Flynn’s guilt into doubt.
Handwritten notes taken by former FBI agent Peter Strzok revealed that President Barack Obama directed the FBI to continue investigating Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn just weeks before he was to become President Trump’s national security adviser, in a meeting during which Vice President Joe Biden suggested that Flynn violated the Logan Act.
Up until now, it had been unclear exactly how involved Obama was in the FBI investigation of Trump’s national security adviser.
Strzok’s notes are believed to have been taken on January 4, 2017, the apparent date of a White House Oval Office meeting with Obama, Biden, FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
The notes show, according to a court filing, that those officials discussed transcripts of Flynn’s private calls with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak and how to proceed against Flynn.
Obama himself directed that “the right people” investigate Flynn.
President Trump (as have we) was smart to let things play out. The action and anger have to come alongside President Trump. President Trump cannot be the only American to fight against the totalitarian left. It appears, that just like in Bethel Ohio, others are standing with President Trump. There might even be an organized strike by the police:
Text messages circulating throughout the New York Police Department are calling for members to “strike” on July 4 in protest of anti-police rhetoric and budget cut proposals as tensions in the wake of recent officer-involved deaths have reverberated across the city and country, sources confirmed to Fox News.
The police are already striking. It’s the Blue Flu. In Atlanta the police started calling in sick. When Baltimore police were under attack the police went on strike by driving with eyes shut. If Baltimore police was crimes through their patrol car windows they would just keep driving by. A drive by Blue Flu.
The President Trump rally in Oklahoma was the appetizer. The main course is being served now.
Update: New York Times tried to resurrect the Chinese CoronaVirus scam in time for Easter. But former NYTimes reporter Alex Berenson squashed them like a bug at a wet market and ate them for lunch:
So @nytimes has a big story right now about a @fema model showing up to 300,000 deaths. The documents are “dated April 9,” the story says. So they must account for everything we’ve learned this week – which would be bad news. But what the chart actually says: “Models from 3/31.” pic.twitter.com/QaYi9f0S0C
The purpose of the NYTimes story based on leaks from HHS and DHS was to stop any reopening of America. The report “suggested, should the mitigation measures relax, the outbreak would be worse than before.” Liars figure, figures lie.
————————————————————
The “experts” needed CoronaVirus. World governments needed CoronaVirus. Lots of “it’s the end of the world” hysterics craved CoronaVirus. Fools wanted CoronaVirus. Big Media demanded CoronaVirus. Trump haters insisted on CoronaVirus. Wall Street desired CoronaVirus. Obama scam artists relived their Obama scam via CoronaVirus. Like all scams many interests for many reasons worshiped at the altar of CoronaVirus. Empty lives made CoronaVirus their god. CoronaVirus however is the Emperor without clothes and many now see the naked ugliness of why CoronaVirus became the scam it is.
CoronaVirus has been a scam from the very beginning. China scammed us all by lying about the CoronaVirus. The World Health Organization continued the scam by protecting China. Then the flowering of CoronaVirus hit the entire world and the scam flourished. For those that doubt we have been right all along about the CoronaVirus scam we give you an “expert” that confirms much of what we have written:
Here is Dr. Birx saying that the government is recording anyone who dies with coronavirus in the United States, regardless of any other health issue, as a death from coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/p2nIhH4bHP
Yesterday, Dr. Deborah Birx finally let the secret out during the daily press conference in response to a reporter’s question. “I think in this country, we’ve taken a very liberal approach to mortality,” said Dr. Birx, who along with Dr. Anthony Fauci has become the face of this push for a national lockdown.
“There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.”
“The intent is if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death,” concluded Birx.
The CDC Confesses to Lying About COVID-19 Death Numbers
Can any government statistics on COVID-19 deaths be trusted?
It is an open question now that we are learning that the highly respected, world-class Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been lying to us. [snip]
The normal rules about reporting deaths have been violated by that city in the rush to inflate the body count, presumably to steer more taxpayer money to the Big Apple.
That the CDC isn’t telling the truth to Americans is no conspiracy theory: it’s right out there in the open for everyone to see. The CDC openly admits that it is fudging the COVID-19 death figures.
We know this because, among other truth-tellers, a plainspoken small-town physician from Kalispell, Montana, has pulled back the curtain.
Dr. Annie Bukacek, MD, explained in a presentation how death certificates are made. (See “Montana physician Dr. Annie Bukacek discusses how COVID-19 death certificates are being manipulated,” YouTube, April 6). [snip]
The CDC counts both true COVID-19 cases and speculative guesses of COVID-19 the same. They call it death by COVID-19. They automatically overestimate the real death numbers, by their own admission.
The numbers are lies. “Garbage in, Garbage out”, used to be an axiom in the computer programming world. Today it is Garbage out because Garbage in. Someone we thought we would never cite positively, had some smart things to say which comport with our analysis about how Chinese CoronaVirus is a rather cheap imitation of a pandemic:
This morning they revised their number of projected deaths to 60,000. That is a reduction of 90% from the 2.2 million number. But what else? Does the number 60,000 — 60,000 deaths — does that resonate with any of you? Does the number 60,000 mean anything to you?
Well, let me tell you what it is: 60,000 is the number of deaths due to the flu every year in this country. It’s between 30,000 and 60,000. So the very projections from the modelers who have given us our current circumstances, including the lockdown have now reduced their original projection of 2.2 million down to 60,000. That’s a reduction of 90%. Do you realize how worthless a model is you can input different data and get that wide a variance? [snip]
In fact, ladies and gentlemen, that 60,000 flu death number was 80,000 in 2018. [snip]
Remember, these are the doomsayers. They never lose. They are never wrong. They can always claim that what they “doom-said” is the reason we’ve had success. It’s the nature of doomsayers. [snip]
Dr. Birx said it. It’s a key word here. “If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting it as a COVID-19 death.” “With COVID-19” does not mean the same thing as “because of.” If you have coronary heart failure, if you have a heart attack, if you have renal failure, kidney failure, and you also have — if they find that you’ve got — COVID-19, to heck with your heart disease, to heck with your kidney disease, they’re chalking it up as a COVID-19 death.
So it may well be that the number of COVID-19 deaths isn’t as high as we’re being told. But it’s obvious there are people who want it to be reported as high because they think that’ll help them with their mitigation efforts, keeping people sequestered and socially distanced and all of that. [snip]
“According to the most recent data from the [CDC], almost two-thirds (65.6%) of the people who have died after testing positive for coronavirus have been confirmed to have one of those specified underlying conditions,” diabetes, heart disease, obesity, kidney problems, liver problems, “while just 1.9% of the people who died after testing positive were confirmed to have ‘no underlying conditions.’”
Only 1.9% of the people that died in New York City were confirmed to have no underlying conditions. That’s huge! So people that have these underlying conditions obviously need to stay home. But we’re getting to the point, I would think, where we could begin to think about turning the rest of us loose — people that don’t have any underlying health conditions. [snip]
Pneumonia. Pneumonia deaths are way down. And that’s one of the things this virus supposedly replicates. It affects lungs like pneumonia. You know, pneumonia is a lung infection. A lot of people think pneumonia is fluid in the lungs. It’s not true. It’s an infection of the lungs. And the coronavirus causes something similar.
But the death rates for pneumonia are way down ’cause everything is being chalked up to COVID-19. They want the number of deaths up there. That’s the only way they can justify what the hell limits they’re putting on everybody here.
As the year began, Big Media did not think much of Chinese CoronaVirus. Big Media wanted to protect China. Obama Dimocrats like Nancy Pelousy and New York City officials insisted Chinese CoronaVirus was nothing and that citizens of America should go to various Chinatown neighborhoods to prove they were not racist. Then… the calculations changed.
As Big Media and assorted NeverTrump RINOs alongside Obama Dimocrats began to see the amazing Trump economic miracle begin to get hurt they calculated that a destruction of the American economy would surely stop the reelection of President Trump. So these creeps aligned to proclaim that CoronaVirus was a mortal threat to the world, indeed the end of the world, and that President Trump was the one responsible for the viral outbreak world-wide.
Unfortunately for them, the tricks that would have worked against boobs like Jeb Bush or his brother did not work against smart and courageous President Trump. If anything the polling everywhere in every demographic indicated that massive majorities agreed with President Trump that China was to blame for all the damage done to the world economies and health. Even more, Americans are waking up to the rest of the dangers candidate and President Trump spoke about:
What is the American status quo? It is the nation and its perceived global mission crafted after the end of the Cold War by America’s newly emergent meritocratic elite. In international relations, the fundamental tenets of this vision were the intrinsic virtue of America’s “benign” hegemony, globalism, free trade, a commitment to spreading democracy around the world, and an abiding faith in the country’s ability to salve the hurts and wounds of humanity.
In domestic terms, the status quo has been characterized by relatively porous borders, the financialization of the U.S. economy, deindustrialization, anti-nationalism, a liberal political hegemony on social and cultural issues enforced through political correctness, and an oligarchy of bigness–Wall Street’s big finance, Washington’s big government, big corporations throughout the country, big labor representing increasingly well-off public employees, and self-aggrandizing state and local governments.
This status quo is facing increasing hostility from vast numbers of ordinary Americans who feel that the elites and the big institutions they dominale have hijacked the American system for their own exploitation. [snip]
This knot of political hostility stems from the perceived follies perpetrated over the last half-century or so by the meritocratic elite–endless Middle East wars without victory or even much of a point; immigration laxity to the point of serious assimilation challenges; the outsourcing of our industrial capacity to the point where other nations, particularly China, control the distribution of goods and products that are crucial to U.S. military preparedness and citizen safety and health; a student-debt crisis that thwarts upward mobility of the nation’s young; a spree of fiscal irresponsibility that saddles cities and states with irrepressible pension debt while leaving untended massive infrastructure imperatives; and financial disruption throughout Middle America stemming from the hollowing out of the country’s industrial base.
The central reality of American politics today is the gulf between, on one hand, the nation’s elites and their primary constituency groups (minorities, academics, government employees, and well-off urban/suburbanites) and, on the other hand, that 55 percent of the electorate characterized by Walter Russell Mead as being motivated primarily by an abiding hostility to what Mead calls “the self-proclaimed expert class.”
This is an inherently unstable political environment. As Mead points out, “Populism arises when establishment leadership fails.”
Amid a global pandemic, he’s being accused—on this site and elsewhere—of alienating allies, undercutting multinational cooperation, and causing America to fight the coronavirus alone.
And yet even as the current emergency has proved him right in fundamental ways—about China specifically and foreign policy more generally—many respectable people in the United States are letting their disdain for the president blind them to what is really going on in the world. Far from discrediting Trump’s point of view, the COVID-19 crisis reveals what his strategy asserted: that the world is a competitive arena in which great power rivals like China seek advantage, that the state remains the irreplaceable agent of international power and effective action, that international institutions have limited capacity to transform the behavior and preferences of states.
China, America’s most powerful rival, has played a particularly harmful role in the current crisis, which began on its soil. [snip] “They didn’t tell us the truth,” one team member said of the local authorities, “and from what we now know of the real situation then, they were lying” to us.
Now China’s propagandists are competing to create a narrative that obscures the origins of the crisis and that blames the United States for the virus. This irresponsible behavior and lack of transparency revealed what Trump’s National Security Strategy had identified early on: that “contrary to our hopes, China expanded its power at the expense of others.” Instead of becoming a “responsible stakeholder”—a term George W. Bush’s administration used to describe the role it hoped Beijing would play following China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001—the Chinese Communist Party used the advantages of WTO membership to advance a political and economic system at odds with America’s free and open society.
But at some point, an American administration needed to shift the conversation away from hopes for an imagined future China to the realities of the Communist Party’s conduct—which is hardly a secret. [snip]
Trump’s emphasis on protecting U.S. sovereignty brought to a boil a simmering national debate about the overlooked costs of globalization. A blind adherence to what the economist Dani Rodrik has called “hyper-globalization”—the idea that the interests of big corporations and the principle of market integration took precedence over widely shared prosperity and economic security—had come at the expense of domestic industries. For years, people who complained about these consequences were dismissed as isolationists or as being on “the wrong side of history.” [snip]
Many of President Trump’s critics in the foreign-policy community put great stock in the ability of multilateral and international organizations to constrain the misbehavior of China and other states. These organizations, at their best, promote concerted action against commonly recognized problems. But Trump’s critics tend to view them mainly in their idealized form and as the central instruments to solve global problems and advance values shared by all. In practice, though, how international organizations perform is profoundly influenced by power relationships among member states.
China’s leaders have become quite skillful at using these bodies to pursue their own interests. [snip]
The Trump administration’s National Security Strategy challenged the assumption that international organizations are always driven by a common global good.
It is stunning to realize that Atlantic readers got to see such an article which demolishes their most cherished preconceptions of globalism.
President Trump was elected to “Drain The Swamp” domestically. CoronaVirus has revealed the intricate connections of The Swamp internationally.
These same corrupt “experts” deplore the HCQ treatments so many doctors around the world extol. Why? The reason which makes most sense is so that an expensive vaccine can be found and sold by the very same people who mock the “Trump pill”.
All these “experts” thought the same way as the Obama Dimocrats and NeverTrump fools. They thought President Trump would do like President Hoover did when confronted with the Great Depression, which was not much. Instead President Trump has taken full charge not seen since FDR experimented unsuccessfully to end the Great Depression. It was World War II which finally succeeded where economic policy had failed.
The totalitarian left has consistently misunderstood President Trump due to their hatred. Instead of impotence President Trump has been able to stop all illegal immigration at the southern border thanks to the Chinese CoronaVirus emergency declarations. Now illegals are returned within 96 minutes to Mexico and zero asylum claims are processed. President Trump has continued to “drain the swamp” by firing Obama Inspector Generals as Benjamin Wittes’ salty tears flow. On China, total victory for President Trump as the entire world sees he has been correct all along.
President Trump is now supreme leader in his fight to bring back manufacturing to the United States as Americans see the danger of not being self sufficient but instead relying on a communist globalist world order. And as President Trump prepares to reopen the strongest economy in the world there is news on the issue that once was the hope of the totalitarian left:
Indictments. After Communist Chinese CoronaVirus comes Durham to remove permanently the deadly infection of totalitarian left globalists who hate America.
The pandemic crisis has created a Dem-Panic. The strong American economy President Trump created from the ashes of the corrupt Obama-Biden “managed decline” destruction of America made POTUS Trump’s reelection inevitable. Once the Communist Chinese CoronaVirus hit, Obama Dimocrats became joyous. Obama Dimocrats thought the Trump Economic Miracle would be destroyed with a recession they long desired as the only way to win against President Trump. But then President Trump’s remarkable leadership and newfound status as a “wartime” President thwarted the schemes and plots of Obama Dimocrats. Now the Obama Dimocrats have a new plot, more schemes to destroy President Trump even if that means destroying America. Obama Dimocrats will fail in these latest plots. President Trump will continue to win as he leads the nation with an agenda he ran on in 2016, been tested since then, and proven correct in 2020.
Before we examine the latest plots against President Trump and America let’s look at the mess Obama Dimocrats find themselves in. First and foremost the Dem-Panic is a product of Sleepy Slo’ Joe Biden’s likely nomination as the Dim presidential candidate. No, it is not his increasingly comic verbal stumbles nor his Lucy Ricardo style attempts to be recognized as a great talent. No, this is real news with real implications for stumblin’ bumblin’ slo’ mo’ sleepy Joe.
The Democratic National Committee is postponing the party’s presidential nominating convention in Milwaukee to Aug. 17, the week before the Republican Party’s convention.
The delay from July 13 came after likely nominee Joe Biden publicly called for the convention to be rescheduled in response to the coronavirus pandemic. [snip]
In addition to postponing, DNC officials are discussing ways to scale back the convention. The committee is not flush with cash and wants to avoid the appearance of throwing a big party in the midst of a severe economic downturn. [snip]
…Biden will not have as much time to enjoy a potential polling bounce before the Republican National Convention begins dominating coverage. [snip]
The new dates also complicate the Biden campaign’s financial situation, because it will not be able to access general election funds until August instead of July. [snip]
The coronavirus has undoubtedly taken a toll on Biden’s fundraising just as he was starting to pull in record sums for his campaign. [snip]
“It’s amazing how much you save if you don’t put on rallies and have to fly across the country every day,” an adviser said.
If you don’t bust a gut laughing after reading that sad spin from Politico you must be having a very tough time these days either not working, working too much, or tending to loved ones and friends. Our condolences and sympathy. But think of all that nonsense about Sleepy Joe via Politico and what it really means if you remove the happy spin.
The DNC has little to no money. The GOP will stomp on whatever traction is gained by the Dim Slumber Convention within the week. Sleepy Slo’ Joe is still having trouble raising money for his doomed crusade. But the good news according to Sleepy Slo’ Joe’s dim-witted adviser is “It’s amazing how much you save if you don’t put on rallies and have to fly across the country every day” campaigning and interacting with voters. Huh? You certainly can save money in a political campaign if you don’t campaign or get out of the basement!
What a fun convention that’s going to be! DNC and Slo’ Biden officials are anxious for the DNC Slumber Convention to “scale back” because because they don’t want Sleepy Slo’ Joe to lose sleep time. Or is it the fear that Creepy Joe will have to answer questions about that woman who must be believed when she said Biden “penetrated her with his fingers without consent“. Grab-her-by-the-labia-Joe does not want to talk about his turgid leg hairs as they are rubbed by little boys and girls bouncing on his lap or this latest accusation out of many in the past. It’s gonna be a fun convention all right.
Imagine the extra added fun at the Slumber Convention if Bernie Sanders supporters or Bernie Sanders himself realize that the CoronaVirus is a boon to his campaign. Think about it Bernie Bros: This is the time for Socialism! Grab the day! There’s lots of economic distress and this is when Socialists promise lots of free things. Hey, FDR even had a socialist Secretary of Agriculture during the Great Depression who became the Secretary of Commerce and even the VP! Imagine if the Bernie Sanders’ campaign wakes up and realizes this is their golden opportunity to realize Andrew Yang’s thousand dollar per month per citizen (or are illegals included too?) spendapalooza!
Ah, who are we kidding? The Bernie Bros and Bernie have no imagination. They can only hallucinate about the great Socialist dreams. Bernie will have to go back to his several houses and endorse Sleepy Creepy.
The Obama Dims know neither Sleepy Creepy Slo’ Joe nor Socialist Bernie can beat President Trump. They once thought a recession would be the only way to defeat PDT. So they cheered on a recession, then talked up a recession last year as a sure thing until those dreams crashed with a booming economy in November. As Bill Maher repeatedly observed of the strategy: “Can I ask about the economy because this economy is going pretty well? I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point. And by the way, I’m hoping for it. Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.”
Recession did not come so the continued mad conspiracy dreams about Russia and Ukraine and Mueller and all the rest were tried. That didn’t work. At the dawn of 2020 the Communist China CoronaVirus hit then Obama Dimcrats got what appears to be a rapid and deep recession. A recession is defined as two quarters of economic decline so we still don’t know if this is a dictionary definition “recession”. Still, because the entire world is suffering economically Obama Dimocrats can’t blame President Trump for the economic problems. And in either case Obama Dimocrats have to be afraid that the economy will rapidly return to full force under President Trump once the Red Chinese CoronaVirus hysteria is over.
Also, even if the U.S. economy is in recession, it is still the strongest economy in the world. In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king. The U.S. might only have one eye but the rest of the world economies are blind.
Next on the plate for Obama Dimocrats was an attempt to blame President Trump for the response to the crisis. But President Trump has been so active, so productive, has received so much praise, the Obama Dims realized Presidential Leadership is the issue this election and President Trump is a leader whom even Dims have praised. At the end, even Sleepy Joe had to take back his “racist” “xenophobe” attacks against President Trump and admit that President Trump was right to impose a travel ban on China.
This is a long time lag, even for Sleepy Joe!
TWO MONTHS after @realDonaldTrump restricted China travel Biden says he supports it.
After 2 months of bashing the restrictions as “xenophobia” & “fear-mongering.”
— Brad Parscale – Text TRUMP to 88022 (@parscale) April 3, 2020
Failure after failure from and for Obama Dimocrats. So Obama Dimocrats came up with a new scheme: finagle with the general elections via schemes that make election theft easy peasy. Nancy Pelousy tried to get billions for her schemes during the 2.2 trillion dollar economic law recently passed. Pelousy did not get her early voting schemes money so she is about to try again. But President Trump is ready to fight:
The public health crisis is already injecting a huge X-factor into the election, with impossible-to-predict effects on voter turnout, and officials in both parties acknowledge the fights over voting laws could affect the outcome of the election. [snip]
Trump advisers say they are open to certain changes, such as automatically sending absentee ballot applications to voters over age 65. But they’re opposed to other moves Democrats are pushing, such as sending every voter a ballot regardless of whether they ask for one, which Republicans argue would open the door to fraud. [snip]
During an appearance on Fox News this week, Trump pushed back against an effort by House Democrats to secure billions of dollars for election assistance in the coronavirus relief package. The bill Trump ultimately signed included $400 million, a fraction of what Democrats had been seeking.
“The things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” Trump said. [snip]
“It is beyond disgusting that the Democrats are using this crisis to try to dismantle the integrity of our voting system,” said Justin Clark, a senior Trump campaign counsel who is helping to spearhead the legal fight. “The American people won’t stand for this, and the campaign and the party intend to fight with them for a free, fair, and open vote in November.”
Clark pointed to so-called community ballot collection — an idea embraced by some Democrats that would allow local organizations and individuals to collect ballots from voters at their homes — as something the Trump campaign would fight.
Consensus is growing that Democrats and Republicans will soon hash out a new coronavirus emergency package in the coming weeks. But a major obstacle is emerging: the November election.
Democrats are making a push to expand funding for vote-by-mail efforts in a fourth emergency rescue package, citing the need to help states prepare to hold elections during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s a public health issue, Democrats argue: That elections carried out as usual could spread the virus this fall.
There we go. The reason why Obama Dimocrats persist in pushing panic among the populace with the Communist Chinese CoronaVirus infection is to argue that infection will occur if voting is allowed to proceed as scheduled. Even during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 no one dared suggest elections be cancelled or procedures altered. The Dem-Panic demands election theft be made easier.
Even RINOs like Senator Lamar! Alexander of Tennessee deplore the absurdity, “Around the world we’ve had people in new democracies go to vote when their lives were at risk because the right to vote was so precious.” “Most Americans would be very skeptical of significant changes in our ability to go cast a ballot in person, certainly at this point.”
Election crook Nancy Pelousy and Sleepy Slo’ Joe want $4 billion in additional money to help Obama Dimocrats steal the November 2020 elections.
Think about that. Obama Dimocrats want to insteal, er, install a new voting system via a panic they have encouraged even though every model of the CoronaVirus by all the so-called “experts” has been wrong as we have repeatedly written. Even the latest models have been wrong. Absolutely wrong.
The closely watched University of Washington model has another bad day. https://t.co/NuJeDXgJrh
These phony experts won’t admit they don’t know what they are talking about. Oh, but mitigation and social distancing is working – they claim. That’s like saying that a New Yorker that wears a bird’s nest on her head to keep elephants away can claim the bird’s nest kept the elephants away because there are none to be seen. For people who worship at the altar of science, they sure do come up with plenty of witch doctor nostrums.
Speaking of witch doctors – Fauci wants to keep the country closed to business until there is no more CoronaVirus – in other words till the end of never. Peter Navarro is fighting back against the witch doctors in a prelude of the coming battle to open the country back up and stop the Dem-panic pandemic.
Even Dim hero Nate Silver, the self-styled statistician, declares that “Coronavirus Case Counts Are Meaningless“. Yet the Dims that ordinarily praise their precious Nate Silver are too panic stricken about the election results to understand they are making things worse for themselves.
Once the economy starts to recover all the doomsday crackpots will face judgement by the electorate. President Trump, like Winston Churchill is a wise wartime President. The enemy is not just an invisible disease. The ultimate enemy is the pandemic Obama Dimocrats, Big Media, and the Dem-Panic they see as the only way to win.
The cohesion of the European Union had been battered by Brexit, bruised by the political fallout from the 2015 migration surge and the 2008 financial crisis, and challenged by rising autocracy in the east that runs contrary to the professed ideals of the European project.
Now, if Europe’s leaders cannot chart a more united course, the project lies in what one of its architects described this week as “mortal danger.”
In the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, the response among European Union member states showed that national interests trump more-altruistic European ideals. Border restrictions were reimposed haphazardly, and Germany and France threw up export bans on medical equipment such as masks and ventilators, even as Italy clamored for assistance.
“Dear German friends, with the coronavirus the shared history of the Western world has once again taken centre stage,” the Italian politicians wrote.
“Today the EU does not have the means to respond to the crisis in a united front. If it does not prove that it exists, it will cease to exist,” they warned.
At first Obama Dimocrats cheered as the “Boomer Remover” threatened to kill older Trump voters. But now, it is clear, its a BLUE FLU. It is Obama Dimocrat strongholds whose populations are going deep blue death. New York, LA, SF, Dallas, N’Awlins, Washington State, will have fewer voters this November so elections will have to be stolen.
The totalitarian left is in mortal danger. Therefore the Dem-Panic.
Obama Dimocrats also want to give illegal aliens the same cash payments as American citizens. That will be popular in Mexico and other sources of illegal migration but we doubt that is a wise election proposal. It’s a desperate last minute ploy – a product of a Dem-Panic pandemic.
Trish Regan knew what the Obama Dimocrats are up to and for that she is gone and remembered this Holy Week.
Update: Shamelessly corrupt Obama Dimocrats want to add crap to the emergency bill. Obama Dimocrats use the emergency Chinese CoronaVirus bill to force solar and wind tax cuts, give more power to unions, and throttle airlines with even higher emission standards. Obama Dimocrats exploit a national health and economic emergency to destroy America for ever.
From S – “CALL NANCY PELOSI’S OFFICE 202-225-4965 & DEMAND THAT SHE STOP PLAYING POLITCAL GAMES & MAKE THE DEAL ON MONDAY SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN GET A CHECK TO LIVE ON DURING THIS CRISIS; NANCY PELOSI IS WORTH $160 MLLION DOLLARS She doesn’t care about the little people US; STOP THE BS”
Miserable America hating Pelousy has her own 1200 page bill which features filth such as early voting and same day voter registration. NO!

John Harris infects almost all. Politico published yet another article filled with stupid predictions from, this time, 34 idiot pundits. They write stupidly about how Chinese CoronaVirus will change the political world – permanently. Other idiotic articles accompany that idiocy. All have two things in common: 1) they make silly predictions of a leftist future; 2) they ignore the most obvious reality.
Before we look at the stupid leftist predictions, let’s look at reality. Let’s look at the articles that have facts in them instead of predictions and from those facts we can see how stupid the leftist Big Media Obama Dimocrats are.
Minnesota on the edge: ‘I’ve voted Democrat my whole life. It’s getting tougher’
In a mining town in the heart of Humphrey, Mondale and Wellstone territory, Trump stakes his claim. [snip]
A place that once gave Democratic native sons Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale 4:1 voting margins and considers the late Sen. Paul Wellstone a local hero has begun to embrace a president who bears little resemblance to them, except that he reversed the “injustice” of an Obama-era order that would have brought the nickel-copper project to a 20-year standstill. On top of that were the 25 percent tariffs Trump imposed on most foreign steel, which provided an initial boost to the 5,000 miners still employed in the region’s numerous iron-ore mines that have served as the backbone to the region’s economy.
All of that put Ely in the middle of a political transformation that makes Minnesota the president’s top target among states he lost in 2016, and potentially a pivot point in the 2020 presidential race. Trump lost the state by a margin of 45,000 votes in 2016, a remarkable feat considering how entrenched Democrats have been in the state. [snip]
The area’s growing affinity toward Trump provides a case study in how the president has brought the blue-collar vote to heel with a mix of culture and economic promise.
“The hope rested with Trump, that’s where the people went … it’s hope. People want hope for a better future,” said Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, a self-described Humphrey Democrat who has thrown his support behind the president winning a second term. He is an ardent supporter of the new mining project. [snip]
Every time Chris Johnson gathers his United Steelworkers Local 2705 at the hall in Chisholm, Minn., the union of roughly 600 mine workers that pull iron ore out of the Hibbing Taconite mine have one question: Why isn’t their leadership going all in on Trump? [snip]
Johnson estimates that about 75 percent of his membership supports Trump. [snip]
“I think most people voted for Trump definitely not because he was going to be an angel in office, and not because they thought he was going to be a savior,” he said, sipping a beer after a curling match at the Hibbing Curling Club. “I think most people voted for Trump up here because they were pretty fed up with the political establishment on both sides.”
That’s leftist Minnesota, but the Dim dum pundits don’t see the reality in front of them. More examples of what the future portends?
Americans Drop Kale and Quinoa to Lock Down With Chips and Oreos
Out with the Tuscan kale and acai berries, in with the Spam and popcorn.
In a stark reversal, American shoppers who were taking up healthier eating are gravitating back to old ways as they hunker down to weather the coronavirus pandemic. They are loading up on shelf-stable items from canned meat and soup to pretzels and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese as they comply with orders to stay home. [snip]
“People are retreating back into comfort habits,” said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jennifer Bartashus. “There’s a lot of uncertainty and in those kind of times people tend to retreat to what’s known to them and what’s comforting to them.”
Meat eaters are no longer cutting back on animal protein as beef cases at grocery stores have been cleaned out and profit margins for packers have spiked to all-time highs.
Shares of Tyson and Sanderson Farms Inc. were upgraded as outstanding retail demand for meat is more than offsetting soft demand at food service, JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts Ken Goldman and Anoori Naughton said in a note.
Meat is “flying off the shelves” and in some locations there are completely empty rows of dried meat snacks, according to the report.
Milk is also seeing a boost after decades of poor sales and dwindling consumption.
A return to tradition. One would expect pundits with expensive indoctrination diplomas would take note of such data points on the reality chart, but no, the leftists won’t let reality intrude into their delusions of a leftist future.
Democrats are increasingly nervous about the coronavirus pandemic upending the Democratic primary calendar.
As more and more states postpone their primaries — delaying their elections as far back as June — some Democrats say that it will make the job of defeating President Trump more difficult. [snip]
Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a big delegate lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and is widely seen as the inevitable Democratic nominee. But it could still take a number of contests for Biden to win enough delegates to clinch the nomination, and the scheduling delays would only push that back further. [snip]
Biden finds himself in a delicate situation as he tries to pivot to the general election. As he transitions, he doesn’t want to alienate Sanders supporters for fear they won’t show up in November.
“I think the concern is that as long as the primaries are active, Biden must be seen and must actually not be dismissive of Sanders, lest the Sanders die hards turn against him in the fall,” Demissie added. [snip]
Biden has had to eliminate large campaign events and fundraisers.
Yeah, then there’s the combination census/coronavirus. The 2020 census will determine where federal dollars go and how many representatives from each state go to congress. The left is very worried. The DailyKooks, leftist Mother Jones magazine, leftist Economist, and leftist Salon are all in a panic. Mother Jones sums it up for the left:
The Coronavirus Outbreak Could Be a Disaster for the Census [snip]
And, in mid-May, door-knocking begins in force to ensure that every person living in the United States is counted by the July 31 census deadline.
On Wednesday, the Census Bureau announced that it would suspend field operations until April 1, amid the coronavirus outbreak. [snip]
The early nonresponse followup has been delayed from April 9 to April 23, but it’s unclear when the homelessness count will take place. [snip]
Effective census outreach often means community engagement on a scale that simply can’t happen during a pandemic.
Illegal aliens and the homeless live in blue states with sanctuary cities and high tolerance for filth. The cities in states like Texas too attract illegals and the homeless. That’s why the left is panicked. A low count of the homeless and illegals and the leftist states/cities will lose a great deal of money and power. You would think Big Media leftists would write prognostications which included this type of knowledge. But no. Census, ten year consequences – “who cares” say the Big Media forecasters.
So we return to Politico and the 34 dolts who wrote their predictions of how the world will change – permanently – due to CoronaVirus. Among the stupidity of there predictions are gems such as “the presence of others might be replaced by a greater comfort with absence”, “America has long equated patriotism with the armed forces. But you can’t shoot a virus.”, “Perhaps, too, we will finally start to understand patriotism more as cultivating the health and life of your community, rather than blowing up someone else’s community.”, “The time for change is clearly ripening.” “A return to faith in serious experts. (this dope teaches at the Naval War College. He also writes “We even elevated a reality TV star to the presidency as a populist attack on the bureaucracy and expertise that makes most of the government function on a day to day basis.” He should be fired.).
Another Politico dope writes this type of trash for his prediction: “The coronavirus pandemic marks the end of our romance with market society and hyper-individualism. We could turn toward authoritarianism. Imagine President Donald Trump trying to suspend the November election. Consider the prospect of a military crackdown.” Another leftist twit mewls as her prediction “And maybe—just maybe—the culture war that has branded those who preach about the common good with the epithet “Social Justice Warriors” may ease amid the very present reminder of our interconnected humanity.“
The rest of the predicting loons sing songs to Big Government, more Tech dominance, more leftism, free everything, just a load of leftist trash. Matthew Continetti is the exception to the leftist dominance but his entry is a bit of incoherence about how our definition of change will change. Yikes!
Two leftists at Foreign Affairs magazine blame President Trump for the rise of China as their predictions in that silly magazine. China must pay these fifth columnists well. A well educated boob at something called Undark Magazine declares that Chinese CoronaVirus will accelerate the decline of the United States. Somehow the damage done by Chinese CoronaVirus to China goes unremarked and China is somehow praised as a rising power deserving of such elevation.
These Big Media Obama Dimocrats are too far gone from the world of reality to reach. Normal Americans will stay in this plane of existence – with President Trump for his second term and the American triumphs to come.
The dumbest article this year is written by John Harris for Politico. Most Big Media articles are a bunch of lies and attacks against President Trump but the Harris article is both of those and extremely dumb in a sea of very dumb or plain deceptive scribblings. Let’s make it clear, as we have before, that CoronaVirus is definitive proof that candidate Trump then President Trump’s weltanschauung is 20/20 on target. Not only is President Trump’s world view correct but his remedies are the needed vaccine to globalism and its many and varied infections and in November 2020 President Trump will easily be reelected.
In The Pandemic Is the End of Trumpism the deranged John Harris (we kid you not, this is the nut of his argument) hallucinates that young college students deprived of grand graduation ceremonies and unable to travel to exotic locations will be so traumatized it will change their world view – especially on climate change and thereby “Trumpism” is over:
There are two large reasons to believe the political echo of this crisis will last much longer than the crisis itself.
The first is that many of the people whose expectations and routines are most dramatically upended by the pandemic are students. The interruption, and in some cases irreplaceable loss, of important experiences in their education, as campuses empty and untold events are canceled, will likely shape their consciousness in more lasting ways than for the rest of us.
Like most catastrophes, the pandemic’s malign consequences will fall most heavily on the underprivileged. Unlike most catastrophes, its costs are also being paid heavily by some segments of the most privileged. Those college seniors whose spring terms and graduation ceremonies are suddenly deleted include many people who are future leaders of the public and private sectors. No, it’s not the end of the world for them. But it’s a piercing loss even so—one being paid more for the benefit of older, less healthy people than for pure self-protection. [snip]
In particular, the global pandemic and the harsh choices it imposes offer—in highly concentrated fashion in coming months—much the same choices that responses to global climate change will impose in coming decades. [snip]
Like the coronavirus emergency, climate change is a problem whose dimensions are largely the province of scientific experts—employing complex data models aimed at illuminating future trends that the average citizen can understand in broad concept but not in detail. The essential question: Do you trust these experts, or not? [snip]
Perhaps the massive response won’t really be effective and a public health catastrophe unfolds anyway. Or maybe the response in retrospect will seem overblown. [snip]
Finally, of course, coronavirus is like climate change in the sense that it is impervious to national borders. [snip]
Trumpism as an idea is about promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity. [snip]
But the only way this would be effective would be if the United States had years ago opted to adjourn from the modern interconnected global economy. Yes, the coronavirus first presented itself in China. How many people were surprised to learn only in the past few weeks that nearly all U.S. antibiotics also come from China.
In that extended excerpt where is the rational evidence for the end of “Trumpism”? All of those arguments are in favor of the Trump world view. Indeed “promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity” is the logical and emotionally satisfying choice.
John Harris revels in the notion that diseases are “impervious to national borders” and that somehow that crushes President Trump desire to protect American borders. Someone please tell Harris that all countries are now rushing to protect their borders from foreigners because in large part it is those foreigners who might bring in diseases unless, as in Ellis Island, the foreigners are cleared to enter the country. Hey, that also builds up the Trump argument against illegal immigration. But Harris is so stupid he misses all this.
Harris somehow is so stupid he does not understand that Americans are waking up in the most visceral way to what President Trump has been saying for decades. Harris writes that many Americans did not know that “nearly all U.S. antibiotics also come from China.” President Trump works to end that but maybe Harris is hanging out at Spring Break with all those allegedly traumatized college students to figure out how this newfound knowledge buttresses and helps President Trump.
WAR WITH CHINA IS COMING. It might be an economic war only but war is coming. Harris will be the last to notice. Indeed, the war has already started and President Trump is on the job and winning. China knows President Trump is winning:
Beijing Fears COVID-19 Is Turning Point for China, Globalization
While the world fights the coronavirus pandemic, China is fighting a propaganda war. Beijing’s war aim is simple: shift away from China all blame for the outbreak, the botched initial response, and its early spread into the broader world. At stake is China’s global reputation, as well as the potential of a fundamental shift away from China for trade and manufacturing. [snip]
Chinese state media is praising the government’s “effective, responsible governance,” but the truth is that Beijing is culpable for the spread of the pathogen around China and the world. Chinese officials knew about the new virus back in December, and did nothing to warn their citizens or impose measures to curb it early on. [snip]
It threatened whistleblowers like the late Dr. Li Wenliang, and clamped down on social media to prevent both information about the virus and criticism of the Communist Party and government from spreading.
Unsurprisingly, China also has enablers abroad helping to whitewash Beijing’s culpability. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus refused for months to declare a pandemic, and instead thanked China for “making us safer,” a comment straight out of an Orwell novel. This is the same WHO that has refused to allow Taiwan membership, due undoubtedly to Beijing’s influence over the WHO’s purse strings.
Read the entire article which is rational and smart unlike the Harris crap. The article makes clear that China is trying to lie about the origins of the Kung Flu, that China’s response to the Wuhan Flu helped the world, and details the lapdogs like John Harris that parrot the Chinese Communist lies. China lied and continues to lie but many in positions of power such as Harris lie on behalf of China:
Public shaming of foreign corporations, global influence operations, and “elite capture” — all are policies Beijing has deployed to maintain China’s public image.
That carefully tended image is now cracked. Those concerned with global health issues may wonder why it is that China is wracked regularly by viral epidemics in addition to coronavirus, such as SARS, African Swine Fever, and avian flu (another outbreak is happening right now). Others may begin to look more carefully at China’s environmental devastation and the hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year from air and water pollution.
On the trade side, many foreign corporations already have been reconsidering their operations in China, due to rampant intellectual property theft and rising production costs; now, they may seriously question how safe it is to continue to do business in China. Not only is the health of their employees at risk, but they no longer can be assured that China will be a stable supplier. If coronavirus becomes a seasonal phenomenon, as some experts predict, then even with a vaccine, new strains of the pathogen will always raise the specter of another out-of-control epidemic overwhelming the party-state’s capabilities and infecting the rest of the world.
More broadly, the pandemic of 2020 has brought doubts about globalization into the mainstream. Decades of open borders, unceasing intercontinental travel, study abroad, just-in-time inventory systems, and the like have created unexpected vulnerabilities in populations and economies thanks to unfettered openness. [snip]
Perhaps the biggest long-term economic effect of coronavirus will be on long-standing assumptions about global supply chains. [snip]
It is only since the outbreak of the pandemic that Americans have come to learn that China is the major supplier for U.S. medicines. The first drug shortages, due to dependence on China, have already occurred. [snip]
The world never should have been put at risk by the coronavirus. Equally, it never should have let itself become so economically dependent on China. The uniqueness of the coronavirus epidemic is to bring the two seemingly separate issues together.
Trumpism is not over, it is in many ways beginning. The years of struggle with President Trump imposing tariffs to achieve a victory over globalism is now understood by Americans not as some exotic tic but as a necessary vaccine. American Big Media is the enemy snake amongst us filled with poison:
The faces made in the room as @ChanelRion asks Trump: Is it alarming that major media players…are consistently siding with a foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels and they work right here…with direct access to you and your team? pic.twitter.com/4eW8RHipY5
The American Interest published The Wuhan Virus and the Imperative of Hard Decouplingwhich counters the nonsense spouted by running dogs of China such as John Harris and Politico. The analysis on the need for Hard Decoupling is a vindication of President Trump’s policies:
The belief that globalization, through the radical centralization of market networks, was the unavoidable path forward has been exposed as a grave, near-delusional miscalculation. The offshoring by corporations of supply chains to China has not only eviscerated communities that were previously reliant on manufacturing jobs, but has also brought with it an unprecedented level of vulnerability and fragility to our economies. The populist revolts that have wracked Western democracies for the past several years are in part rooted in the pain that these dislocations have caused. Worse yet, for the past three decades, this offshoring process has favored an adversary that is determined to replace us as the hub of global economic and military power and place itself at the new normative center of the world. [snip]
As the dust settles, the United States should be taking a hard look at streamlining our federal and state regulatory framework, tax structure, and all other outstanding obstacles in order to encourage U.S. businesses to come back home. If, once this crisis is over, we do not have at least a blueprint for rebuilding America’s manufacturing base and restoring our ability to provide critical supplies to the country regardless of the actions of our adversary, a decisive opportunity will have been squandered. Such a plan ought to be accompanied by other measures, including ending China’s unfettered access to our research centers and universities, putting restrictions on technology exports to, and manufacturing in, China going forward, and using the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) more aggressively to prevent Chinese takeover of key industries and corporations.
The phony conservatives who mocked President Trump and tried to block his trade policies must be cast fully aside. President Trump has been fully vindicated on trade policy and China. Bring back manufacturing to the U.S. as President Trump has advocated and as the globalist totalitarian leftists have fought against.
After so many “it’s over for Trump” narratives from Big Media we have a new, “for real this time, it’s over for Trump” attempt because all the other “it’s over for Trump” attempts have failed and impeachment failed, so now it is “for real this time, it’s over for Trump” written by leftist kook Jonathan Chait. The claim this time, again, is that Trump supporters will abandon the President because of the economy and because we somehow will realize President Trump is somehow unfit for office.
The “it’s over for Trump” nonsense has gone on longer than the Russia/Ukraine/impeachment hoaxes and the latest “it’s over for Trump” is doomed to the most spectacular failure of all. American Thinker makes the points we have repeatedly made:
How Coronavirus Will Strengthen Trump’s 2020 Campaign [snip]
It will validate the need to continue with his two biggest campaign issues from 2016: building a wall on the Mexican border and getting the United States off its dependency with China by re-balancing trade. [snip]
When the presidential campaign begins in earnest this coming fall, the coronavirus “crisis” will be long over with, so Trump will be able to raise it as an example of why the United States needs secure borders and to reduce our dependency on China, especially when it comes to prescription drugs that have been outsourced to China. The best example is the production of antibiotics. [snip]
With regard to Trump’s issues on illegal immigration, the coronavirus crisis will demonstrate just how important it is to secure the country’s borders. [snip] So during the 2020 campaign, how will Joe Biden, assuming he’s the Democrats’ presidential nominee, be able to criticize Trump for his hard line on the border? And how will Biden square an open borders policy with the circle of American health care security? The easy answer is that he won’t, and he will look like a fool if he tries.
The exact same argument can be made when it comes to the United States’ relationship with China. Joe Biden simply will not be able to make a cogent argument as to why Trump has been wrong when it came to the making major changes in dealing with China and putting the interests of the United States first. Trump will be able to point to his efforts at changing the country’s trade policy not just for the economic security of the United States, but for the safety and security of the health of every American.
A little known fact about the H1N1 “swine flu” epidemic that took place in 2009, Obama’s first year as president, is that it originated in Mexico. [snip]
During the 2016 campaign, besides keeping out criminal elements and stopping the flow of drugs into the country, the argument was made by then–presidential candidate Trump that illegals crossing into the United States were bringing diseases with them, such as tuberculosis, adding to his reason for building a border wall with Mexico. During this coming fall campaign, the argument for continuing to secure the southern border with Mexico will be that much more powerful and neutralize any counter-arguments that it’s a racist and uncompassionate policy.
This public health issue is ignored by all those Americans championing sanctuary cities. The issue is also ignored by Americans clamoring for open borders, and that includes many of my libertarian friends. By the way, in the late 19th century and early 20th century, when masses of European immigrants were trying to enter our country, those with dangerous diseases were turned back from Ellis Island. [snip]
In the final analysis, the coronavirus crisis will turn out to be a gigantic boost to Trump’s campaign in ways that could never have been foreseen and utilized if it had never happened. This is not to say the crisis is a good thing; rather, it will be devastating for Joe Biden when he goes to campaign against Trump on the all-important and inter-related issues of border security, health, and jobs. Biden simply will not be able to present a message that will be coherent or credible to counteract Trump’s ongoing and successful theme of always putting America first.
Joe Biden opposed the China travel restrictions wisely put in place by President Trump in January – restrictions that health experts credit with slowing the spread of coronavirus & saving lives.
If Biden had been in charge, more Americans would have contracted the virus faster. pic.twitter.com/yDXRYl6lOk
— Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) March 12, 2020
November 2020 is coming. President Trump receives praise even from loony leftists like Governors Fredo of New York and Newsom of California. Even unhinged “oops I married my brother – and got caught” Illhan Omar praised President Trump “@AyannaPressley always says, unprecedented times require unprecedented leadership and we are seeing that in our country right now”.
As a “wartime” leader in the fights against globalism, China, illegal immigration, and disease, President Trump demonstrates his energy and America First strengths on a daily basis. In November 2020 President Trump will be reelected easily and Big Media will be defeated.
Lots of great stuff has been happening while the CoronaVirus hysteria panic dominates Big Media and suckers the nation. Before we splash some of the stories missed during the CoronaVirus hysteria panic we have a modest proposal to make: CANCEL THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DUE TO CORONAVIRUS AND GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUR MORE YEARS AT LEAST THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM HIM WITH ALL THE RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIAUKRAINEUKRAINEUKRAINEIMPEACHIMPEACHIMPEACHCORONACORONACORONA NONSENSE. Immediately the leftists will say Coronavirus ain’t such a biggie.
Now Obama wannabee Gillum blames it all on alcohol (hey, it was meth), says he wants privacy, is going to rehab, and we have yet to hear from the wife and kids about how daddy spent his weekend (note: it was not at the “wedding” of a friend as Gillum claimed, unless “wedding” is new slang these days for a gay male gang bang of an almost Florida governor). Gillum will no longer run, he says, the anti-Trump voter registration organization he headed somehow and will no longer be a part of CNN.
A no-savings generation is cashing in its sneaker collections
A wedding. Transmission repair. Bail money.
Those are some of the reasons why more and more sneaker collectors are cashing out the shoes they have lovingly amassed over the last decade or so.
Most were facing sudden expenses that threatened to throw their finances into disarray because student loans, rent payments, avocado toast and the like had pushed them into a cash-flow corner. [snip]
Los Angeles hairstylist Sabrina Ahmed, 28, is one. Faced with a $9,000 bill for unpaid federal taxes, Ahmed reluctantly parted with 12 pairs of sneakers last year, including a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Low Off-White MCA University Blue, listed on some reseller sites for at least 10 times the original $150 retail price. [snip]
Nike’s 1984 creation of the revolutionary Air Jordan basketball shoe, followed by the NBA banning them from professional play, is the moment that sneakers became more than mere shoes, and sneaker culture — as well as collecting — began in earnest, said Dylan Dittrich, author of “Sneakonomic Growth: Scarcity, Storytelling and the Arrival of Sneakers as an Asset Class.”
Sneakers. Who knew?
Another story of a loser that got lost in the CoronaVirus shuffle is the boy formerly known as Prince. It seems Harry and the missus got punked by those nogoodnik Russians. Harry was told by the nogoodnik Russians they were Greta Thunberg and her dad. Harry proceeded to spill his guts about President Trump, Boris Johnson, the difficulties of being rich and famous and having to live in castles and be loved by his people who pay for his grand wedding to American trash, and his great sufferings. What a dope.
Hollywood slime are also suffering due to CoronaVirus. Apparently the Hollywood creeps might lose twenty billion dollars or so, give or take a billion. Tom Hanks trapped in Australia makes us smile. It’s a crisis, says Variety magazine. We’re lovin’ it. SXSW cancelled, all the other film festivals cancelled – and it’s not about #metoo Harvey Weinstein scandals. The cancel culture Hollyweirdoes are getting cancelled. Thanks CoronaVirus.
For those of us who can’t stand basketball and dread the nonstop nonsense of basketball in March… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have fought against globalist plots… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have fought for America and American borders and the rule of law when illegal immigrants overrun our borders… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have tried to waken Americans and freedom loving peoples about the threat posed by the mass outsourcing of jobs and manufacturing takeover by China… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who look for hidden blessings even in disasters… CoronaVirus has performed a series of miracles.
CoronaVirus is the story of the month with nonstop Big Media coverage. So be it. Look at the fun stuff. If you thought President Trump was powerful, Politico reports President Trump is now really really powerful:
What more could he do? A look at Trump’s extreme powers
Trump has claimed he can “do whatever I want, as president.” That may not be true, but in a public health emergency, he can do a lot.
President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to combat the coronavirus — but he could go much further if he wanted.
Federal law gives Trump vast emergency powers in times of pandemic. He could direct the quarantine of people arriving in the United States who exhibit certain symptoms or even if they’re just suspected of having the virus. He could have the federal government detain individuals if their illness might wind up crossing state lines.
And under regulations revised and reissued just before Trump entered office, the government can stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease. Some even interpret the statute as meaning a president could deploy the military to cordon off a city or state.
“The federal public health power is pretty awesome … awe-inspiring in its breadth,” said Wendy Parmet, a law professor at Northeastern University.
Greyhound Bus Lines have stated they won’t cooperate with ICE inspections of buses that might transport illegal aliens. What if…. Imagine the reaction by Big Media if President Trump takes over Greyhound or stops completely the operation of their buses.
Hey, what would happen if President Trump took tens of billions of more dollars to BUILD THE WALL in order to stop illegal immigrants from coming across the southern border. Hey, they’re the ones that said President Trump wasn’t taking CoronaVirus seriously enough, right? Right?
Greece’s first woman president vows to defend borders, rights, warns on virus
Athens (AFP) – Greece’s first woman president began her term on Friday with a pledge to protect the country’s borders and defend human rights, whilst warning Greeks to follow health rules as the country grapples with over 100 coronavirus cases. [snip]
The new head of the Greek state begins her five-year term in a terse standoff with neighbouring Turkey, which has allowed tens of thousands of refugees to mass at the border.
Sakellaropoulou said Greeks had to “repulse the aggression of those who make designs on our national sovereignty by making use of human pain.”
The Greek people stand with Madame President on stopping the illegal immigrants. What could possibly be the reason??? Maybe something the Danes are learning: “Over half of all of the young migrant men from Somalia, Lebanon, and Morocco living in Denmark have been convicted of at least one crime before the age of 30.”
‘Terrible monster’ or ‘caring father’?: Mulvaney tells on Trump
When he became the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney was more familiar with the media’s critical portrayal of President Trump the family man than the first dad himself.
That changed on one of his first trips with Trump, and it was another eye-opening case of how the media was dead wrong.
“The first trip I went with him,” he said at the Conservative Political Action Conference, “I bet he called his son [Barron] three times, four times on the trip.” [snip]
The president is just a really caring father, and you don’t see that. The press would never show you that because it doesn’t fit that image of him, that the press wants him to be a terrible monster. But he feels about his children the same way everybody else does.”
This is the shocker: He added, “People forget that Barron’s only 13 years old. We don’t think that about him because the kid’s a giant, like 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5.”
Soon Barron will be taller than THE WALL!!! That’s a healthy boy.
Update: The wacko theories about Coronavirus continue to be used by those who want to push their pet lunacies. We’ve been there before so we know liars when we see them. Anyone notice the resemblance between today’s “flatten the curve” on Coronavirus and the ObamaCare liars who yammered about “bend the cost curve”?
As Congress voted on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, in 2010, one of the bill’s architects, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, told a college audience that those pushing the legislation pitched it as a bill that would control spiraling health care costs even though most of the bill was focused on something else and there was no guarantee the bill would actually bend the cost curve.
Liars lie using charts or whatever mumbo jumbo the rubes will believe. It’s Q-Anon and Conservative Treehouse all over again. Except now John Nolte at Breitbart has joined the parade of liars who used statistics, charts, and “experts” to snooker the dummies.
Nolte continues his lies about I’m not here to alarm anyone, and I am not here to scoff. Nolte is a liar. Nolte’s “expert” once again is Barack Obama’s “expert” Andrew Slavitt. Nolte writes AT THE VERY LEAST, ONE MILLION AMERICANS WILL DIE NO MATTER WHAT WE DO NEXT
Nolte vouches for Slavitt. He is not some crank on Twitter. He is not some paranoid…. So ridiculous is Nolte that some commenters think he is being sarcastic in his exaggerations. But no, Nolte is a panic monger and a liar. Nolte might as well quote Gruber on ObamaCare as an “expert”.
Thus far the death toll in the United States is 61. That’s a holiday weekend death toll in Chicago. President Trump is on the job and he is the best vaccine against liars, CoronaVirus, and wacko theorists.
————————————————————————————–
Hysterical losers are using the Chinese CoronaVirus to push their own loopy issues and/or to attempt to destroy the indestructible President Donald J. Trump. The method used by these corrupt losers is the usual one of “lies, damned lies and statistics“. Let’s look at the claims by these statistics using liars and then debunk them with one razor sharp slash of our intellectual swift sword.
When a danger is growing exponentially, everything looks fine until it doesn’t
There’s an old brain teaser that goes like this: You have a pond of a certain size, and upon that pond, a single lilypad. This particular species of lily pad reproduces once a day, so that on day two, you have two lily pads. On day three, you have four, and so on.
Now the teaser. “If it takes the lily pads 48 days to cover the pond completely, how long will it take for the pond to be covered halfway?”
The answer is 47 days. Moreover, at day 40, you’ll barely know the lily pads are there.
That grim math explains why so many people — including me — are worried about the novel coronavirus, which causes a disease known as covid-19. And why so many other people think we are panicking over nothing.
During the current flu season, they point out, more than 250,000 people have been hospitalized in the United States, and 14,000 have died, including more than 100 children. As of this writing, the coronavirus has killed 29 people, and our caseload is in the hundreds. Why are we freaking out about the tiny threat while ignoring the big one?
Megan McArdle wants us to think we are panicked over something very real. The key here is the word “panicked”. There is nothing to panic about if you know the truth. But the scam artists, flim-flam men and women want to get us all to “panic” in order to advance their phony issues and to destroy the Great President Donald J. Trump. McArdle ignores the obvious – her statistical predictions are based on President Trump doing nothing about CoronaVirus.
Second up, surprisingly, is a Breitbart writer who likewise wants to attract eyeballs with what is presented as a “just the facts” approach. But this is not “just the facts”, it is a bunch of statistical damned lies. Here’s the statistical damned lies of John Nolte:
Nolte: The Experts’ Coronavirus Death Toll Math Is Terrifying
This is a breakdown of the projected American coronavirus death count per various experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
You will find no opinion in this piece, and this is not me engaging in alarmism. All I’m doing is passing along what we’re being told by the experts.
According to the CDC, the coronavirus fatality rate is one percent.
This number comes directly from Wednesday’s congressional testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
That one percent is ten times more lethal than the flu.
The good news is that one percent is a lot lower than the 3.4 percent fatality rate the World Health Organization was throwing around a few days ago.
According to Congress’s in-house doctor, Dr. Brian Monahan, “He expects 70-150 million people in the U.S. — roughly a third of the country — to contract the coronavirus,” per reporting from the far-left Axios.
Axios adds that Monahan’s estimate “is in line with other projections from health experts.”
The lowest estimate of American deaths I could find — at least from a respected expert — comes from infectious disease specialist Michael Osterholm, who “conservatively” predicts 480,000 American coronavirus deaths by the end of the year. That’s 480,000 deaths, not cases.
“We conservatively estimate that this could require 48 million hospitalizations, 96 million cases actually occurring, over 480,000 deaths that can occur over the next three to seven months,” he told Joe Rogan this week.
Key point there is “over the next three to seven months,” meaning before the end of the year.
The next point I’m about to make is the most important…
These Are NOT Worst Case Scenarios
None of these experts are qualifying their predictions with phrases like “worst case scenario,” or “if we do nothing,” or “if we just let it ride.” In fact, Osterholm very carefully used the word “conservatively,” which strikes me as his best case scenario.
What’s more, all of these expert estimates were made with the government already taking precautions, so I don’t know how to interpret these estimates as anything other than “these are the numbers based on what we’re doing now.”
Here’s a report telling us the “low end of the projection … with containment” is 700,000 American deaths:
That’s enough excerpts from Nolte although he writes even more alarmist nonsense. After reading that crap it is no wonder Americans reject the “experts”. Nolte ignores the fact that these experts indeed did not qualify “their predictions with phrases like” “if we do nothing” “if we just let it ride’. Nolte should have noted that horrible things can happen at any time on any issue IF NOTHING IS DONE. But Nolte was more interested in the sensationalistic statistical nonsense and ignored the obvious – PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL TAKE NECESSARY ACTION TO STOP THESE STATISTICAL NONSENSICAL STUPIDITIES FROM TAKING PLACE.
The alleged “experts” lie with statistics. Nolte provides lurid charts which show the shocking increase in deaths – all the way to um, 39 deaths. From zero deaths due to CoronaVirus to 39 deaths is a zillion times a zillion in statistical terms. Charts can sometimes be the best tool of statistical liars.
The alleged “experts” have their own interests such as they like to finally get some attention on TV. The alleged “experts” who did nothing before to stop what they now bemoan did nothing before the immediate situation/panic. To the contrary, many of these alleged “experts” attacked President Trump and those of us who thought outsourcing products such as antibiotics to China was foolish. To hell with the “experts” who are only expert in announcing they are “experts”.
Nolte should know better. Nolte misinforms us that the expected deaths in the United States are 1.5 million by the end of the year. The “expert” Nolte relies on most is Dr. Brian Monahan. The other “expert” Nolte relies on is Andy Slavitt. Who are these “experts”?
Andy Slavitt is Barack flim-flam con man Obama’s guy formerly in charge of Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Brian Monahan was put in place by… Barack flim-flam con man Obama.
If you trust Andy Slavitt or Brian Monahan you likely also trust the scam operation of the United Nations – WHO – the alleged World Health Organization. You remember them as the guys that trusted the CoronaVirus statistics issued by China. Trust these scam artists at your own peril. The CDC is likewise a typically bumbling government operation that requires lots of supervision or else it too will provide statistical lies and foolish misjudgments.
All the “experts” who rejected President Trump’s swift action with a travel ban from China should be rejected. President Trump is not an “expert” on pandemics or communicable diseases. President Trump however has basic common sense and has always been mocked as a “germaphobe”.
We will make our own SHOCKING PREDICTION!!!!
330 MILLION AMERICANS WILL BE DEAD BY DECEMBER 31, 2020 IF THEY DON’T CONSUME FOOD AND NUTRITION. THAT’S 330 MILLION DEAD BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
The solution to prevent 330 million American deaths by the end of this year is for Americans to have breakfast, and/or lunch, and/or dinner. That is what escapes McArdle, Nolte, and the other dolts who push panic.
Is CoronaVirus a danger? Of course. But so is anything you don’t keep an eye on and take actions against. Eat only ice cream and you too will die. Breath air repeatedly and rapidly for long enough and you too will die. Fall asleep while driving and you too will die. Walk with a blindfold on alongside a highway and the statistical probability is that you too will die.
The point is not to panic. Take action that is sensible. If you find yourself on a large ocean liner and it hits an iceberg – don’t panic. Proceed calmly to the lifeboat. What the NeverTrumps, the Obama Dims, Big Media, want is for Americans to panic. Their entire goals is to cause panic. Panic leads to death and stupid financial decisions.
President Trump is doing what needs to be done without panic, with calm reason. Unlike Biden who is a China shill and weak socialist Bernie, President Trump fights for America First. And can we all acknowledge that President Trump has been completely correct about the stupid bumbling Federal Reserve? At some point summer will return and the great pandemic caused by Big Media “experts” will disappear and rationality will return to the public and the markets.
At that point all that President Trump has said will have to be dealt with. Illegal immigration will have to be 100% stopped. The supply chains controlled by China will have to be broken. The “end of the world” will end and President Trump will be reelected.
