Four U.S. senators swear they didn’t use insider knowledge when they sold off stocks ahead of the coronavirus-induced record market crash. Americans are outraged, but what if so-called insider trading is a mere gimmick of the greater political establishment? This is the age of the outsider. In politics, we have President Trump and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In the economy, we have Uber and Airbnb. More than ever, being an insider carries a negative connotation. Insider trading, then, must be nefarious. If only it had a legal definition. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that creature of Congress which acts as...

Democrat Andrew Gillum Was Found With A Male Escort, Meth & His Back Blowed Out LOL!

Doctors and hospitals are turning to decades-old antimalarial drugs to treat patients infected with the disease caused by the new coronavirus, as they work to repurpose existing therapies in a race to find effective treatments. Antimalarial drugs chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine have both shown early signs of improving symptoms of some patients diagnosed with Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, based on reports by doctors and researchers in South Korea, France and China. Physicians in the U.S. are also using the drugs.

No transcript but here's the link: https://youtu.be/pkHDj7eUb60 16 minutes but worth it.

Data show that anti-malaria drugs touted by President Trump can help in treating coronavirus patients, a top oncologist said Friday on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle." Dr. William Grace discussed the benefits of the drugs with host Laura Ingraham.

These are just a few of the forces who have been working overtime for the past four years to sabotage, undermine, and ultimately destroy both candidate and then President Trump Now that we’re in a de facto Martial Law mode––a shutdown of entire industries and small businesses, nighttime curfews, social isolation, a run on goods, huge sports events cancelled, a “shelter-in-place” mandate in California, releasing prisoners in New York (God forbid these miscreants get a flu!), Broadway gone dark, and a craven media inciting and delighting in the panic they’re causing, it is relevant to ask:

This media behavior has been harmful to our country, but, in the crisis today, it is even more damaging Ever since the coronavirus became a household word and the American people started to worry about its tremendous impact, President Donald Trump and his task force have held daily media briefings. At these events, the President will usually make an announcement and then introduce members of his team who have important information to share with the American people. It is quite helpful to hear from these tireless public servants who are working day and night to save the lives of countless...

Worst of all the pandemic panic is a Betrayal of Jesus Christ, and is in fact, a Betrayal of one’s very own soul. At heart the pandemic panic of COVID-19, growing as fast, if not faster than the spread of the virus, is a Betrayal of the masses. With world governments shutting down businesses “until further notice”, leaving towns and cities like the ghost towns of the old west, it’s a contrived betrayal of the capitalist system.

At some point in the near future it's my opinion that out covid-19 strategy should enter a new phase. The strategy's timetable would depend on an actual decrease in virus cases. The two facts that convince me that the virus will come under control is the successful use of drug combinations that drastically decrease mortality and the other is the approval of a 4 hour covid-19 test. International travel should remain restricted or shut down altogether. Those under 70 should be allowed to go back to work to get the economy running again. Those 70 and older should self-isolate. This...

Despite the government advising Londoners to avoid unesessary social contact, an East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre spokesperson confirmed today that it is open to the public. The holy call to prayer will continue to fill the halls of London’s busiest mosque this morning, as it has done since it opened in 1985. On a normal day, some 10,000 worshipers from all over East London attend the Whitechapel site across five daily prayers.

Ford, General Motors and Tesla are being given the go ahead to make ventilators and other metal products, FAST! Go for it auto execs, lets see how good you are?

This is a really good technical summary of where we are. This guy screams competence. We're all covered up with too many Covid docs, THIS one is worth reading. This guy should be drafted by the CDC yesterday. Really good summary of what we're up against. Hit the source link, it's a 6M 38 page *.pdf hosted at Google Docs. Here's his page at Stanford: http://med.stanford.edu/linlab.html

The death of industrial music pioneer and perpetual provocateur Genesis P-Orridge got me thinking. Not that I liked his "music." (I decline to use his preferred pronoun, "s/he.") But because P-Orridge died at age 70, I enjoyed picturing bummed out young "trans" poseurs learning through these obituaries that body modification and "gender fluidity" weren't their ideas. I also thought ­— not for the first time since the advent of what Steve Sailer calls "World War T" — about The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975.) The enduring cult film started out as a campy London stage musical that spoofed science fiction...

I'm 68 y/o, not in bad shape, but not excellent, have historical issues. I live in CA (central valley). Bottom line: I'm not convinced I'll contract COVID, but I do believe I won't survive it if I do. This has me getting my life in order, in my case, a herculean effort to get it done before possible contraction. Need to brush up my will, personal finances, administration..........then there are physical assets, misc. deals I'm working on. It's a huge job and I must get it done quickly. Lastly, I'm going to show my daughter how to give FR updates...

Regarded as one of the nation's most horrific battles, the AD 43 event was actually created by an archaeologist with a flair for storytelling, new research claims. This colorful account was first written by archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler after he excavated the site with his wife between 1936 and 1937, subsequently claiming he had discovered a 'war cemetery'. And according to a report in The Daily Mail , as a result of Wheeler's lies, for many decades this famous ancient face-off has been described as 'the massacre' of a tribe of Ancient Britons by a Roman legion led by future...

WASHINGTON - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday sharply criticized President Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that the federal government has not done enough to ramp up production of life-saving medical supplies like masks and ventilators and asking the president to deploy the military across the country. “The president of the United States is from New York City and he will not lift a finger to help his hometown, and I don’t get it," de Blasio said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” "I don’t get it. Right now, I have asked repeatedly for the...

Was having a conversation with my Father this morning and he raised a very interesting point about the stock market and “death stocks”. With the nonstop reports of doom and gloom from the media, one would think that companies that provide caskets, vaults and other death related items would be soaring. I decided to do some quick research and found the contrary. Two major companies in the “death business” are: Hillenbrand, Inc. (HI) > Interesting Fact: Sells 45% of caskets sold in the United States > # of Employees: 3,200 > Most Recent Quarter Revenue: $212 Million > Most Recent...
