*NOPE = “Never Obtain the Presidency, Ever”
LOL! These days, that practice is fondly referred to as hoarding. Like you, we always maintain a supply of paper products. Seasoned hurricane preppers, we replenished necessary goods early this year. We're bring conscientious about disposables. Will restock again for storm season in a couple of months.
Yes, a good thought. But if they’re a local outfit, consider it more of a donation in your budgeting, in case they go bankrupt.
...................
the other one seen on TV over and over, Debra Brix, is even worse.
She's famous for heading up non profits in Africa over and over. Problem is they all wind up being slush funds for whomever.They never solve any problems and fund all the wrong people. Up to 2/3 of the money can not be verified once they are audited and she won't even allow audits on some stuff.
Then there is the WHO World Health Institute run by a former "terrorist" Tedros Anhanon who is an: ex Marxist terrorist from Ethiopia.!! The fund in question was started by the late Kofi Anan and is known as the: "Global Fund to Fight Aids,Malaria and TB" this fund has two billion dollars in funding and no one knows where it goes.
Lots of problems there.
Bernie will never change, it is his gig now. His followers however need to take their blinders off and realize this is the radical idea Bernie is talking about.
What if this country united on both sides around this true existential threat to the world? What if Dems got behind Trump and stopped undermining him? This could be over in days rather than weeks.
By putting the 'game changer' out to the world he made it impossible for him to block it as anybody who is in critical condition, and their relatives and friends, will be screaming for it.
Maybe not 5d chess but at least 3d.
Trump is the right man at the right time. If this is the Spanish flu which was the biggest killer worldwide then he knows how to handle big problems.
Very sorry,Key West is run by a far left mayor. We had a much better guy who was going to run but was not allowed since he didn’t get his info in time by an hour or so. Welcome to the Keys.
See, capitalism works.
Re test kits and problem.
The MSM isn’t interested in answers , especially those that streamline if possible the bureaucracy.
A simple fact based statistic supported example would suffice to show we need this level of protection due to these reasons would be sufficient.
You are a long time “ must read “ for me on this and other threads so do your thing where you want and I’ll be there.
Well, you know how Donald Trump is. As long as you do your job he has no problems. If you disagree with him and keep it civil, he’s not going to have a problem either. But insult him, or be unfair, he hits back! Big league!
So I do believe Fauci knows this. The current problem we ALL face is bigger than politics.
Yes, watch Fauci with a careful eye, but right now, he is working for the Man!
Crisis’s can make strange bedfellows, no?
$100/roll, will it keep the virus away?
Great comparison between corona and h1n1.to me the biggest difference is that the drivebys were not waging a 24/7 war against trump by claiming how we were all gonna die if Trump didn’t turn the country into socialist and spend more money than we have to fix it.They have won so far but winning over Trump is something that seldom happens if we can stop all the nonsense in 10-15 days a lot of the damage will not be done longer that that and the economic damage will be severe.
I’m not so optimistic. Consumer confidence has been badly shattered. Bricks & Mortar Retail was already on the rocks due to the Amazon. A serious dip in the Housing market would send a huge 2008 style aftershock through the economy.
Also, I don’t expect the Dems and Fake News will allow anything close to normalcy before the election. They’ll be demands for huge new entitlement programs, leaks, etc.
Fauci joined NIH in 1968. He has been working for the Federal government for 52 years. If you look in the dictionary for the definition of Deep State, Anthony Fauci has his picture there. He has been in his current position for 36 years. I don’t care how good you are. It is bad for an organization to have the same person in charge for that long. It stifles change and the development of subordinates who are blocked from advancement. Fauci’s imprint on his office is indelible and constricting. Not good for the country.
That pic needs to show them with ventilators...
Just imagine the memory of the army forcing you to stay in your home on kids.
They would remember that as some form of Zombie Apocalypse.
Not positive but it may have been the non-US sourcing. If true—very bad timing.
I do understand the bloated NIH (that DJT is accused of dismantling) was actually condensed and improved bringing the best and brightest of its disparate departments together where they could mind-meld. I’ve heard budget INCREASED.
That’s my understanding, but none is verified. I’ve tried to ignore as much of this bulls**t as possible. Media is impossible to watch, or monitor for bias as we normally do. It’s all bias.
News of young & healthy celebrities, sports stars contracting the virus is solemnly reported as if it’s a death sentence.
And yes; many of us ‘elders’ or infirm must be damn careful (as we should with every season’s flu) but the country doesn’t need to shut down. My God
How would they get an IV in Bernie with him waving his arms?
Hunnert Larri.
