October Surprise No. 1 has arrived. – President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both tested positive for the China Virus on Thursday, after communications guru Hope Hicks had herself come up with a positive test earlier in the day. Leftists across Twitter and other social media sites immediately jumped in to spew vitriolic hopes of the First Couple dying from the disease, because of course they did. What else would you expect?
I won’t publish any of those despicable tweets and posts, but I will share a positive one with you. This is from MSNBC conspiracy monger Rachel Maddow:
That’s pretty classy for a fake news hostess who has spent pretty much every day the last five years spreading the most repugnant, false claims about this President, and often, his wife.
Meanwhile, over at CNN, sleazy fake journalist Dana Bash expressed her political party’s most fervent hopes:
Think about it: this would be a leftist baby-killer’s wet dream. Should Amy Coney Barrett have to quarantine, then what about Mitch McConnell and other members of the Senate who have met with the Supreme Court nominee this week? With Senate Judiciary Committee hearings to begin on October 12, a two-week quarantine would push the process back at least three days, moving the conclusion to the process ever closer to Election Day, wouldn’t it?
At least, that’s the reasoning of Democrats and the corrupt news media.
For their own part, McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham could voluntarily self-quarantine, and, given the fact that pretty much no Democrat members have agreed to even meet with the nominee, use this as a compelling reason to cancel committee hearings entirely related to this nomination. Go straight to a floor vote and deny the Democrats their much-desired committee hearing circus.
Such a move would not change one vote related to the elections, but it would ensure a constitutionalist majority on the court for years to come.
Back at the campaign… – Obviously, another aspect of this that has the left in and out of the corrupt media tingling with glee this morning is that the positive test for the President would put a real cramp in Mr. Trump’s style for the next two weeks.
But does it really? My theory is that the President could send out a call for a rally at a hangar at any random airport in the nation, where people would show up to cheer as they watch him speak on huge video screens, and draw thousands upon thousands of supporters. The rally would be essentially the same, but the novelty of the method would inevitably create massive local news coverage of the event, which is one of the main goals for these rallies.
And if Democrats and the media object, you can just call them “peaceful protests” and any arguments about social distancing or masks would be rendered automatically moot.
More Strategery… – Also, from a strategic standpoint and from the standpoint of what is best for the conduct of his job, the President should reserve time on all the networks at some point today or tonight to deliver a message of reassurance to the country and the financial markets, which are showing signs of having a semi-meltdown this morning. Frankly, the earlier the better on this one.
In light of this diagnosis, people need to see the President’s face, to hear is voice, and to be reassured he remains functioning and in charge. The markets have been by and large expecting a second term for the Trump presidency and a continuation of his economic policies. Investors and traders need to be reassured that this health scare isn’t going to shift the dynamics of the campaign.
The Trumps’ health is paramount. – As of this writing very early on October 2, the White House is reporting that the President is currently asymptomatic, possibly due in some part to his use of hydroxychloroquine as a shield. But he is 74 years old and thus in the high-risk category for the worst features of this Chinese plague. The First Lady is much younger and thus at much lower risk of suffering from the most difficult aspects of the virus.
As Maddow notes above, for anyone over the age of 60 or so, this virus is a very dangerous and cruel affliction. Just because the President is asymptomatic today does not mean he will remain so. He does enjoy the advantages of the finest doctors and health experts the world knows today, but this plague does not necessarily heed to the will or expertise of any man.
We should all pray fervently for the President’s and First Lady’s health, safety and full recovery.
That is all.
Maybe Ohio governor Mike DeWine can explain this. He said recently that in Ohio, people will be forced to wear masks for years.
They should have voluntary infection centers, perhaps drive in COVID infection centers were they could infect everyone in good health under 60 YO.
Except, of course, for the very high percentage of those infected who experience mild symptoms or not symptoms at all.
(I never buy lottery tickets. It’s a voluntary moron tax.)
Yes ....... I have been reading older threads saying there was an exposure tweet
I'm pretty sure he isn't. Fauci hasn't treated a patient in more than three decades.
And you will see the media go nuts claiming that Trump gave it to him.
“Fauci hasn’t treated a patient in more than three decades.”
Good point.
He basically plays a doctor on TV.
In a week he should post “I took HCQ for a week and now test negative, I am putting that on the immediate approved treatment list”
You know, HCQ has been used for decades. There were millions of people using it BEFORE the virus hit- it is used for a number of things...
All they need to do is query a database of all those people currently using HCQ and see if any of them caught Covid. If it’s 0% then immediately offer FREE ‘preventative’ HCQ for anyone that wants it.
To the Rally idea. Why not call for it in every state or at least in 2 or 3 at a time and simulcast it. THAT would be amazing.
HE’S JUST HANDED BIDEN THE PRESIDENCY?
First you sound like a complete and utter coward. go hide under your bed the rest of your life.
second that’s the most absurd statement I’ve read in a long time.
Someone should hand you a brain and some courage.
YIKES! I hadn’t heard that yet. Wouldn’t be surprised to see an exodus from Ohio in the near future.
“As long as he doesn’t quarantine in one of Coomo’s Nursing Homes his prognosis is good.”

yup, also find it suspicious that the best economy had to be shut down in the year of re-election. Also find it suspicious that lockdowns weren’t recommended until after super Tuesday (pretty much right after). Also find it suspicious that months before lockdowns the media was speculating that Trump wouldn’t be able hold rallies. Also find it suspicious that the media has no problems not asking Biden questions.
They have no symptoms!
Wearing a mask forever is what power-drunk politicians have in mind. Doesn’t matter if the survival rate is 10%, 99.7%, or 100%. The mask mania has nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with control.
...do people like DeWine not read? There are countless articles and videos out there by doctors and assorted other “experts” demonstrating beyond “reasonable doubt” that the little paper masks are a fraud and do absolutely nothing. So, WHY do the De Wines of the world keep saying they (the masks) must be worn forever???
Yes
Biden was in the same room as he was.
I agree with you. We are all going to get it sometime. but it does affect us all differently even with survival. Can lay some healthy people low with a long recovery period.
