Democrats got a not so pleasant surprise on their plot to destroy President Trump with the Chinese Wuhan Virus. In order to stave off part of the attempt by Democrats to destroy the American economy, President Trump offered to offset some basic expenses for the public. He suggested a $1,000 rebate to citizens suffering due to the Chinese Wuhan Virus. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rejected the offer. Schumer commented in chambers:troy President Trump with the Chinese Wuhan Virus. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rejected the...

It’s just the flu, bro! Where is Rand Paul in all of this? We need him to stand up for freedom here. I see cultural changes coming out of this - try going to work with a mild common cold six months from now. This is not a big deal. I have had the flu about 3 times in my life and I never even thought about going to the doctor. Now people will be going to the doctor much more, and for much less.

On Friday, the Washington Post posted a bizarre and counterfactual story that alleges that Wuhan virus spread into the United States because President Trump ignored warnings from…get this…our intelligence agencies about a pandemic developing in China, a pandemic that was to become the foreign Chinese Wuhan Kung-Flu bat virus pandemic that has panicked us into shutting down the US economy. The bylines are Shane Harris, Greg Miller, Josh Dawsey and Ellen Nakashima. All of these will seem familiar from the Russia Hoax stories that rolled out of the Post like marbles from a bag with holes in it. U.S. intelligence...

My prediction is that Biden is finished. The candidate will be Andrew Cuomo who has daily for the last week had a 60 to 90 minute press conference about what he’s doing in New York State/New York City. He is acting very presidential and he will be nominated from the floor to be the 2020 presidential candidate. You can bet on it. Crazy uncle Joe is finished. Where is he been all week.

Two Republican lawmakers are urging Twitter to ban Chinese Communist officials from its platform in response to the regime’s aggressive propaganda campaign to “whitewash” its coverup of the outbreak. “While the coronavirus pandemic is afflicting families, governments, and markets around the world, the Chinese Communist Party is waging a massive propaganda campaign to rewrite the history of COVID-19 and whitewash the Party’s lies,” wrote Sen. Ben Sasse (R- Neb.) and Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) in a March 20 letter to Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey.Twitter is censored in China, but dozens of Chinese diplomats, embassies, and consulates are active on the...

They should have a sign at the entrance of the White House Press Room: “Please Check Your Personality Disorder at the Door.”.....Either that or Dante’s epochal “Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate”—“Abandon hope all ye who enter here.” The assorted paleo-virtue signalers and candidates for anger management training that comprise the White House press corps have, as if it were possible, humiliated themselves more than ever, almost beyond recognition. To say they are more interested in scoring points against the president than eliciting information or even improving the precarious health and economic situations of their fellow Americans is close to the...

The Energy Department announced Thursday that it will purchase 77 million barrels of American-made crude oil to begin to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve amid the coronavirus outbreak. “DOE is moving quickly to support U.S. oil producers facing potentially catastrophic losses from the impacts of COVID-19 and the intentional disruption to world oil markets by foreign actors,” Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said in a statement Thursday.The Energy Department is expected to purchase an initial 30 million barrels of crude oil, with a focus on small to midsize U.S. oil producers. “The small to midsize oil producers, which are the focus...

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread around the world, there are growing questions in Russia about the official number of cases that have been declared. According to the count released by its health ministry, Russia currently has only 253 confirmed cases of the virus. That is vastly lower than in other major countries in Western Europe, where there are already thousands of cases.What really makes Russia an outlier, however, is the number of tests it is carrying out compared to its number of positive cases. Russia has done 133,101 tests, putting it behind only China, Italy and South Korea.But with just 306 cases of the...

Joe Biden reached a new and heady milestone when he shellacked Bernie Sanders in Florida, Illinois and Arizona to become the de facto Democratic nominee for president. But there was no soaring speech to acknowledge the moment. He never took the stage amid a sea of Biden signs or before an adoring crowd on national television. Biden was instead stuck in a makeshift studio in his Delaware home, webcasting his remarks with a low-quality personal computer camera against a straight-out-of-YouTube black backdrop and two American flags. He warned about the coronavirus contagion. He offered an olive branch to Bernie Sanders....

Mark Vincent Busenbark, a middle-aged man with a cross-dressing alter ego he calls Vica Steel, has been creating intellectual and moral havoc in Frank Allis Elementary School in Madison, Wisconsin for a year. Last school year, Busenbark, a science teacher, created a creepy video about his creepy predilection for cross-dressing and pretending to be sometimes a man and sometimes a woman. Then, with the permission of his administration, he presumptuously showed his creepy “coming out” video to all K-5 students without their parents’ knowledge or consent. In this video, he describes in biased language his disordered and delusional view of...

Here's a video that Ammon Bundy linked to on Facebook..... The world is still turning...See Gavin Seim with his Mexican street tour streamed live Friday afternoon.... Well here we are in Venezuela but I thought that was socialism and a bad place that the United States wasn't or that voting the right way would save us from. The pride, the vanity, the arrogance.... Our insider elites driving negative narratives against China and Russia economic competitors but as I recall Republican President Richard Nixon opened up China.... Russia and China are the enemy, I still say its the Republicans and Democrats...

Australia's unofficial national anthem, "Waltzing Matilda" is a song about suicide. How can that be? Scroll down in this post for a glossary: https://tujuhbelasan.com/2020/03/22/sustainable-development-9-waltzing-matilda-in-indonesian/ It is worth noting that the Indonesian revolutionary war slogan "Merdeka atau Mati" (Free or Dead) can be made to work well rhythmically with the English "You'll never catch me alive" cred he. At least I think so. Indonesia is an incredibly free country. The West cannot afford to ignore it as a balance to totalitarian China. Who agrees? I have not ignored this huge republic.

Yost sent letters Saturday to Women’s Med Center in Dayton and Planned Parenthood of Cincinnati Surgery Center after receiving complaints that 'both had refused to close following an order' from Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton. “You and your facility are ordered to immediately stop performing non-essential and elective surgical abortions,” Yost said, reported the Columbus Dispatch: Non-essential surgical abortions are those that can be delayed without undue risk to the current or future health of a patient. If you or your facility do not immediately stop performing non-essential or elective surgical abortions in compliance with the (health...

Distilleries nationwide are changing their operations to produce more hand sanitizer to combat coronavirus, the president announced at the White House on Saturday. President Donald Trump used Pernod Ricard USA as an example of this development: This is really an example where we are repurposing alcohol. They went out and repurposed their alcohol production capabilities in Arkansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia to make hand sanitizer, and it’s a big difference.....And they’ve been unbelievable,” Trump said. Their first delivery will go out on Tuesday,” Trump said. “It’s going to go to various states.” “They’re going to start I think in New...

V.20 "Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.
