These are not the polls the corrupt news media was hoping to see. Not at all. – After two solid weeks of the corrupt news media and prominent Democrats parroting the talking points of the communist Chinese government, the public is obviously grown weary of the nonsense. No one with a normal, functioning brain believes that the terms “Chinese flu” or “China virus” that President Donald Trump likes to use are in any real way “racist.” They simply – and accurately – identify the source of the virus that is killing thousands of people all over the world.

The public’s weariness of the tiresome media/Democrat narrative is now showing up in polling data, with no fewer than four new national polls this past week showing strong majorities of Americans pulling together to reject the narrative and approving of the President’s handling of the crisis. In the two most recent polls, taken this week as the media focus on this non-issue reached a fever pitch, the majority margin is now in double digits.
A new ABC/Ipsos poll released early on Friday shows the approve/disapprove ratio at 55% to 43%, and a new poll from Morning Consult released on Friday afternoon pegs the margin at a whopping 53% to 39%.
The corrupt media petulance moved into the silly season at Friday’s Coronavirus Task Force press conference. The questioning became so absurd that even the normally composed Dr. Anthony Fauci, a 40+ year veteran of such events, snapped at the media twice for reporters’ efforts to mischaracterize some of his own comments.
Unfortunately, though, Fauci’s own comments – intentionally downplaying the potential for hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus – ended up playing a dominant role in the presser.
The President’s most notable confrontation of the Friday event came with inveterate jackass MSNBC reporter Peter Alexander, who decided it was his role to debate the POTUS on whether or not he was being “reassuring” enough to the American people.
Here’s a longer, unedited clip of the exchange, not the highly-edited one pretty much every TV outlet decided to run with later:

Alexander: What do you say to Americans who are scared, though, nearly 200 dead, 14,000 who are sick, millions, as you witness, who are scared right now. What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?
Trump: I say that you are a terrible reporter. That’s what I say. [crosstalk]
Alexander: [badgering now] But what do you say…
Trump: I say that’s a very nasty question, and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers, and they are looking for hope. And you’re doing sensationalism, and the same with NBC and Comcast, I don’t call…
Alexander: [more badgering]
Trump: …I don’t call it Comcast, I call it Comcast…[more badgering] let me just, for who you work…[more badgering] let me just tell you something: That’s really bad reporting, and you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism. Let’s see if it [hydroxychloroquine] works: It might, and it might not. [more badgering] I happen to feel good about it, but who knows? I’ve been right a lot. Let’s see what happens.
[End]
Now, what had led up to this was really caused by Dr. Fauci, whose real agenda in all of this remains a matter that is still up in the air. Fauci, despite multiple peer-reviewed international studies – one of which we talked about in yesterday’s Campaign Update – indicating that hydroxychloroquine, a plentiful, well-known anti-Malaria treatment, is highly effective in actually curing coronavirus, had just finished his own statement during which he severely downplayed the potential for that drug to help in this pandemic, choosing instead to focus on new drugs that are in the development phase.
Several things are important to note here:
Fauci is a life-long bureaucrat, and it is the nature of bureaucrats to protect their own turf and always seek to expand it. His remarks were entirely consistent with this professional outlook. Those new drugs stand to make billions for American Big Pharma in the context of this plague. Profits from mass production and distribution of a well-known, pre-existing drug like hydroxychloroquine would be far, far less. And, The use of an already-approved, well-known drug denies federal bureaucrats the opportunity to gum up the process and claim credit. So, what is Fauci’s real motivation here? Is he just another turf-protecting bureaucrat who is being influenced by corporations and their lobbyists? It certainly happens. But to his credit, Fauci did come back to the podium later and lecture the reporters in the room for overstating his previous remarks.
Another concern about Fauci surfaced on Friday, this in the form of a letter he sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after her shamefully dishonest Benghazi-related testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in 2013. Here is the text of that email, which can best be characterized as a love letter, found yesterday in the files of WikiLeaks:
From your doctor admirer From: Fauci, Anthony (NIH/NIAID) [E]
Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 6:10 PM
To: Mills, Cheryl D
Subject: Today’s performance
Cheryl: Anyone who had any doubts about the Secretary’s stamina and capability following her illness had those doubts washed away by today’s performance before the Senate and the House. She faced extremely difficult circumstances at the Hearings and still she hit it right out of the park. Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.

My goodness. “Please tell her we all love her”? Really???
At best, this letter and his remarks at Friday’s press conference show lack of judgment and situational awareness on Dr. Fauci’s part. At worst, well, let’s hope the worst case scenario is not in play, because lives are literally at stake.
Bottom line, it is best to treat everything this guy says with a very skeptical ear.
That is all.
They are not talking about taking this for ten years.
The study is for prolonged use.
Are you on your boat and out of here yet?
However, the President set forth "Compassionate Use" and two old drugs are being used with 100% cure rate.
So exactly define susceptible individuals please
That foundation throws out vague crap like that and it makes it hard to believe they are anything but a bunch of lawyers getting ready to sue someone
btt
Great post. Thanks. I’ve wondered about this guy. He’s been around a long time.

HOORAY Chief.
As President Johnson remarked: Better to have a skunk inside pissing out than outside pissing in.
He is an arrogant little weasel.
He shuts off questions as if he is the all knowing Oz.
We watch the updates and it’s real drama TV.President is doing a wonderful job of keeping us informed.
I suspect the Obama has also corrupted the CDC for use by the Deep State.
German measles is also racist.
Jungle Fever is racist.
Bureaucratic FDA is racist.
Bureaucratic CDC/NIH is racist.
Racism permeates our American society. It is so prevalent that it is like the air, we breathe it and don’t think about it.
Didn’t you learn that in school. You are not truly educated until you learn this truth.
Did Fauci ever perform services for the Clinton Foundation.....or for one of its offshoots?
<><>The C/F brags about its various health initiatives while the so-called "non-profit" rakes in billions of "donations" globally.
<><> Hillary once claimed: ""Nine million people have lower-cost HIV/AIDS medicine
because of the work of the Clinton Foundation and my husband."

What’s the real agenda of all the folks itching to get Fauci kicked off Team Trump...?
William Blake
Something to keep in mind.
“His wife has a different last name”
Christine Grady, I think.
Look, I hope it is a magic bullet.
I posted this to explain that there are folks who believe quinines are not pure miracle drugs.
Caution is warranted, except for death-bed cases.
Hogwash.
Nobody has been talking about taking it for years.
Just for a few months until the virus fades.
The same way the drug has been used for the past seventy years.
When I was in the Marine Corps we took it when we were going someplace with Malaria (such as the Philippines) and then stopped taking it when we went back to the United States where Malaria isn’t a problem.
