Watch as the talking points magically change. – The biggest news on Friday was that President Donald Trump moved to invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA) as it applies to General Motors. Not that you would necessarily know that, since the Democrat toadies in the fake, corrupt news media did their best to downplay this big news until they can obtain their new narrative talking points from the DNC on this particular issue. Because a new narrative is coming – bet on it. Here is the text of the President’s order: The White House Office of the Press Secretary FOR...

Just perusing local media news. In less than an hour, there has been two long feature stories lamenting the fact that two men suffered from the Chinese virus. One died, the other is in the hospital. Amazingly, the media just HAPPENED to find two homosexuals to focus on! Think about it: a MINORITY of people in the entire population, about 1%, are homosexual...A minority of the population, less than 10% test positive for the Chinese virus...A minority of those who test positive for the Chinese virus (1%?) get put in the hospital.... And SOMEHOW the media targets in on a...

Any New Yorkers in there? Rhode Island plans to send the National Guard out to knock door-to-door in an attempt to hunt down anyone who has arrived in the tiny state from New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. State police, meanwhile, have begun pulling over cars with New York state plates. Gov. Gina Raimondo said anyone traveling there from New York will be ordered to undergo a 14-day quarantine and could face fines or even jail time if they’re found to not comply. “Right now we have a pinpointed risk,” Raimondo said at a news conference Friday. “That risk...

No, Townhall has not gone into competition against The Babylon Bee and The Onion.  And –best we can tell—neither has Newsweek. Here’s the (seemingly satirical—but actually deadly earnest) proclamation by Newsweek-The Daily Beast from this week:   “Cuba has mobilized its medical corps around the world to distribute a new "wonder drug" that officials there say is capable of treating the new coronavirus despite the United States' strict sanctions that continue to pressure the communist-run island…The drug, called Interferon Alpha-2B Recombinant (IFNrec), is jointly developed by scientists from Cuba and China. Already active in China since January, the Cuban Medical...

...once the tracks at hand sink in, it is intrinsic to tie in Comrade Bill De Blasio, New York City’s anti-American Mayor, to the criminally negligent – purposeful, would be more apt – spread of coronavirus throughout NYC! Listen up. Very carefully, too.....

Rome (AFP) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte warned Saturday that the European Union could lose its purpose if it fails to come up with a strong response to the coronavirus threat. Conte aired his grievances after the 27 EU leaders could not agree on an action plan during an argumentative six-hour video conference Thursday and gave their finance ministers two more weeks to forge a policy that could please Italy and Spain. The two countries hardest-hit by the pandemic blocked Thursday's statement because it did not go far enough. The crux of the argument is about the extent to...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a last-minute dash across the border from Canada to the US because of concerns over tax and losing their personal security, insiders have claimed. The couple took a private jet to Los Angeles, California with their ten-month-old son Archie just before non-essential travel between the two countries was suspended last week because of the coronavirus pandemic. It has now emerged that tax from earning money and keeping up residence in both places was a motivating factor for the move. The couple had wanted to be based in a Commonwealth like Canada where they could...

Back in WWII, when we were still looking to win wars and solve things, our military and civilian leadership recognized that a certain number of peacetime generals and admirals were going to fail when the bullets started flying. History is replete with leadership failures on all levels when push comes to shove. Even taking out the subversive nature of many of today’s politicians, many otherwise good people are better than others at certain things. TV Streaming Plus Watch Your Favorite TV Channels For Free In WWII when military leaders failed, or didn’t meet expectations, basically two things happened: Culpable inefficiency...

Is the world's draconian response to the coronavirus a panicked leap backward into indiscriminate annihilation — not only of national economic health, but also of its prerequisite, individual liberty? Does it prepare a future path, give sanction and precedent to eventual dictatorial control by government, which could be usurped by a left-wing administration to promote the globalist agenda that Obama and the radical Democrat Party endorse? Black swan events that inflict a planetary cost will continue to occur. Clearly, this one has overwhelmed national governments. George Soros himself could not have fantasized, in his habitual delirium, a more enticing catastrophic...

If you've been paying attention for the last ten years or so in particular, you may have noticed in how many ways political leftists in this country love death. Not their own, but the deaths of otherwise anonymous American citizens whom they've never met, care nothing about, and clearly consider deserving of sacrifice for their policy objectives. These progressives, globalists, socialists, or any other synonym you wish to append to the ghouls who harvest souls for their own advancement think nothing of choosing who lives and who dies. They do it all the time, and that's just to seize power...

Joe Biden nearly offered his cell phone number to family members of coronavirus victims on national television Friday night as he discussed the difficulty of not being able to be there for loved ones who are dying. The former vice president, who is on the verge of claiming the 2020 Democratic nomination to take on President Donald Trump, emotionally recalled the deaths of his first wife and young daughter in a 1972 car crash and of his son Beau from brain cancer in 2015. "I've lost a couple children. I've lost a wife," Biden said at a CNN town hall....

It’s just the flu, bro. Doctors are falsely attributing a large percentage of deaths to Corona. Italy is the worst (see links below). This is happening around the world, but too a lesser extent. When people with Cystic Fibrosis die by the hundreds each year after catching a common cold, is the cause of death the common cold? NO The cause of death is CF, even though colds are very serious for them. But is that same person has Covid the cause of death is listed as Covid. This is the type of fraud that is taking place around the...

My home library has a shelf of books on the history of plagues and epidemics. William H. McNeill’s Plagues and Peoples provides a fascinating epidemiological timeline, from the dawn of civilization through the 20th century. What this history shows is that microbes have had more effect on the course of human history than all the leaders, tyrants, invasions, political theories, and ‘isms’ combined. Pandemics have always been with us and will always be with us. We do not float above nature. We are nature -- like all other living things an exquisite assemblage of molecules and cells. Many of these...

Illegal aliens are demanding they too receive $1,200 in federal checks from the government as part of a Chinese coronavirus crisis relief package. Open borders organizations like the George Soros-funded United We Dream, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and the National Immigration Law Center — all of which represent the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States — are pleading with the federal government to cut federal checks to illegal aliens who have Individual Tax Identification Number (ITINs). Currently, Trump’s coronavirus relief package includes $1,200 federal checks for American citizens with Social Security Numbers (SSN)...

The Villages is a rapidly growing retirement community of more than 50,000 residents that spans three north central Florida counties. Most of the community is in Sumter County, where 29 people have tested positive for the virus as of Friday.

Joe Biden's campaign team has vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations of a former Senate staffer who says she wanted to come forward to ensure that "powerful men" are held to account. Last year, Tara Reade, had been among a number of women to speak out about how Biden's behavior had made them feel uncomfortable in the past. At the time, Reade said she was still left disturbed by memories from nearly 30 years ago when, while working as a Senate staffer for Biden in 1993, the then-senator would do things like put his hand on her shoulder or run...

French President Emmanuel Macron sought on Saturday to win over Italians, saying in an interview with Italy’s leading newspapers that France was there to help and Italians should be wary of talk about aid from China or Russia to fight the coronavirus. “There is a lot of talk about Chinese or Russian aid, but why don’t we say that France and Germany have delivered 2 million masks and tens of thousands gowns to Italy?” Macron said. Italy, one of the countries worst-hit by the virus worldwide, was sharply critical of France and Germany after they initially declined to provide face...

Fox News scored across-the-board ratings victories on Wednesday, with its programs ranking in the top six programs on cable news. The network’s success was propelled by massive audience interest in President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force briefing, which was broadcast live during Fox’s Special Report with Bret Baier. The 6 p.m. show pulled in nearly 5.9 million total viewers, 1,257 million in the advertiser-coveted adults 25-54 demo, making it the top-ranked show on cable news for the evening. According to Nielsen data, in prime time, Fox News’s Hannity and Tucker Carlson Tonight came in first and second, with the former...

The media have been lying about a potentially effective treatment for the COVID-19 coronavirus, Tucker Carlson reported this week. “Well, here’s why,” the Fox News pundit told his audience last night. “Donald Trump is for it.” Ever since the American president announced the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus sweeping the world, the American media have been downplaying its potential, lying about it, and manipulating the public. “If Trump is for it, they're against it, even if it might save American lives,” Carlson declared. “What reactive children they are. And they immediately began a sustained push to...
