     W.H.O. admits from the data they have it is rare that Asymptomatic rarely transmit Covid 19. In other words, all the hype (masks, social distancing, work from home, shut down the businesses)  is for nothing. https://youtu.be/tFEmmvLL7og

    President Donald Trump is almost certain to win reelection in 2020, according to a political science professor whose “Primary Model” has correctly predicted five out of six elections since 1996. “The Primary Model gives Trump a 91 percent chance of winning in November,” Stony Brook Professor Helmut Norpoth told Mediaite Tuesday. He noted that his model, which he introduced in 1996, would have correctly predicted the outcome of all but two presidential elections in the last 108 years: “This model gets it right for 25 of the 27 elections since 1912, when primaries were introduced.” The exceptions include John F....

    What is being lost in the weeds is the effect of Amazon's ban of Redskins merchandise on its Mom and Pop third-party sellers. How many of these sellers are just small-time operators barely getting by? How many placed orders with manufacturers and paid for merchandise in advance of the anticipated season? And, this before the name Redskins became a pariah? I think there there is a high probability given that the Redskins are [were] a top-selling brand. I agree that Amazon has the right to ban the merchandise, as any private entity can. However, I believe that the Mom and...

    Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a big win for religious freedom and freedom of conscience.  Almost a decade ago, the Obama administration attempted to force employers, including religious nonprofits like the Little Sisters of the Poor, an order of nuns, to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, in violation of their religious beliefs.  Twice before in this ongoing saga, the Supreme Court has blocked these overly rigid and misguided efforts and sided with religious freedom.  Today, it has once again vindicated the conscience rights of people of faith.Since Day One, the Trump Administration has sought to lift burdens on...
