...The risk the Democrats fear is success. Buried in the story in Paragraphs 38 and 39 was the reason President Donald John Trump wants to give it a try. The story said, "German drugmaker Bayer, which holds the original chloroquine patent, was the first to get involved when Chinese officials approached the company as that nation’s outbreak raged in early February. The experience provided lessons for how to use the drug, said Matthias Berninger, a Bayer public affairs executive, like that it works best when given to people soon after infection, rather than waiting until they’re hospitalized in an intensive...

In this time of unprecedented medical danger and economic uncertainty, Americans are rallying behind our country and our leader, President Trump. Every community in America has been hurt by this viral outbreak from China, and every community in America is making significant sacrifices to ensure that as few of our fellow citizens as possible perish in this pandemic. Americans’ worry is illustrated in a new ABC News poll, which shows that 79 percent of Americans are concerned about the virus.The same poll, however, shows another key fact about the state of the nation: a healthy majority of Americans — 55...

Our family has been in temperature-controlled trucking for the food industry for almost 45 years, though our grandfather had been in since World War II. We have seen tremendous changes in this industry over our lifetimes. However, there is one constant that has always remained: Trucking is one of the most honorable professions in the world. Truck drivers do nothing for themselves. They are always doing something for somebody else, be it a shipper, a receiver, a dispatcher, or for others on the road. Our society takes them for granted. They honk at them for driving slower than cars. They...

Terrified dogs and cats crammed into rusty cages. Bats and scorpions offered for sale as traditional medicine. Rabbits and ducks slaughtered and skinned side by side on a stone floor covered with blood, filth, and animal remains. Those were the deeply troubling scenes yesterday as China celebrated its 'victory' over the coronavirus by reopening squalid meat markets of the type that started the pandemic three months ago, with no apparent attempt to raise hygiene standards to prevent a future outbreak.

Count It All Joy! A Song of Thanksgiving!

SANTA FE, N.M. - As the coronavirus rages across the United States, mainly in large urban areas, more than a third of U.S. counties have yet to report a single positive test result for COVID-19 infections, an analysis by The Associated Press shows. Data compiled by John Hopkins University shows that 1,297 counties have no confirmed cases of COVID-19 out of 3,142 counties nationwide. Of the counties without positive tests, 85% are in rural areas - from predominantly white communities in Appalachia and the Great Plains to majority Hispanic and Native American stretches of the American Southwest - that generally...

Dear friends, in the last month; because of the coronavirus quarantine, many of us have experienced things which we never thought possible! The closure of schools, businesses, churches, national sports leagues including March Madness college hoop! A collapsing stock market, massive unemployment, a two trillion dollar national stimulus package, a national shortage of toilet paper etc... etc...! We as a nation have been moving at light speed as a society and a nation and in the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Divine WISDOM and PROVIDENCE of Almighty God our Creator, He has allowed such events to say; Slow down and consider Me and...

IÂ’m going to preface this by saying that I love New York City and the people there. My wife and I have visited there upwards of 20 times over the past decade, and have twice taken our entire family with us for Christmas vacations. We are huge theater fans, love the Broadway scene, the museums, the parks and the general busy-ness there. We have never had anything but positive experiences there and look forward to going back whenever life gets back to some semblance of normalcy. But thereÂ’s the deal: New York City and New York State are saddled with...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Psalms Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. 1 You have searched me, Lord,     and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise;     you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down;     you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue     you, Lord, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before,     and you lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,     too lofty for me...

After years of guest-hosting for Rush and Tucker, this weekend I'm guest-hosting for Kathy Shaidle. Our Saturday movie columnist is taking a night off and yours truly has been pressed into service. To be honest, I'm not sure I'm up for it. Yesterday Governor Chris Sununu (whom I saw down in Bedford for "Fox & Friends" only a few weeks ago) ordered the whole of New Hampshire to shelter in place - and after thirty-six hours or so I'm already stir-crazy. Social distancing, self-isolation, quarantine, house arrest, it's quarter to three, there's no one in the place but ...me. So...

As the single mother of a daughter with a congenital heart defect and compromised immune system, Melissa Dodge is taking every precaution she can to limit her exposure to COVID-19. Dodge is one of roughly 130,000 Kansans and 200,000 Missourians who would be covered by Medicaid if their states had expanded eligibility under the Affordable Care Act. The change would cover adults who make up to 138% of the federal poverty line — an income of a little more than $17,600 for a single adult, or $42,300 for a family of five like Dodge’s. Kansas and Missouri are two of...

Look out for wolves in sheep’s clothing amongst our media during this coronavirus pandemic. They are ready and willing to shut off the public’s access to news and information in the name of journalism. They do it, they tell you, because unfettered access to the president’s words is dangerous in this crucial moment. So they’re looking to shield your feeble but impressionable mind from the president’s coronavirus press conferences. As the Daily Beast news site reported, staffers and managers at MSNBC and CNN “will be ready to cut away from the briefings” when the informational portions “give way to unsupported...

The United States has now become the world leader in a rather unfortunate category with the largest number of coronavirus victims. This is due to the vast expansion of tests that have been made available in the United States. In contrast, the reports out of China cannot be trusted. As of Saturday, March 28, there were 121,117 confirmed cases and 2,010 deaths associated with the coronavirus in the United States. The area with the fifth-highest total of deaths in the country is New Orleans, which leads the nation in fatalities per capita. Questions are being raised about why New Orleans...

WASHINGTON - Presidential elections are typically prime time for bringing new people into the political process, but the coronavirus pandemic is making voter registration more difficult than ever, prompting concerns that many young Americans and other nonvoters might miss their chance to get onto the rolls before November. "This is the moment when we historically see people take action to register to vote," said Kristen Clarke, the president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "The public health crisis has brought all of that activity virtually to a grinding halt." But now, all the traditional...

How did State Department view this fraud at the Global Fund? Batman and Robin wade into the Swamp to out the Clinton Foundation On March 23, 2019, this site posted an article entitled “Batman and Robin wade into the Swamp to out the Clinton Foundation”. The picture below is of two men swearing to tell the truth before a hearing of the House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Government Operations, on the afternoon of December 13, 2018. These two are the “Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers”.

Scoring cheap political points is always distasteful, but it is especially offensive when lives are in danger The United States has now become the world leader in a rather unfortunate category with the largest number of coronavirus victims.

Did China start WWIII in the face of their economic failure after a half century of success? How would China profit by launching a bio attack on the US’ economy, its people, political system, and businesses? Maybe, if COVID-19 insured Donald Trump’s defeat? The US economy was Trump’s ace to win 2020.

Law enforcement in Ewing, N.J., reportedly broke up a party Friday night among 47 people in a small apartment, despite recommendations from health officials amid the coronavirus pandemic. The department confirmed they received an anonymous call about the alleged party Friday evening. Officers immediately dispersed the gathering that "the renter of the apartment called a 'Corona Party,'" according to a Saturday statement. The apartment renter, Wade E. Jackson, 47, was issued summonses for allegedly obstructing the administration of law or other governmental function, and violating the "Emergency and Temporary Acts," according to the statement. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D)...

BARCELONA, Spain - Spain and Italy demanded more European help as they fight still-surging coronavirus infections amid the continent’s worst crisis since World War II. In the U.S., authorities urged millions in the hard-hit New York City region to stop traveling to keep the virus contained. From Milan to Madrid to Michigan, medics are making tough choices about which patients to save with the limited breathing machines they have. The confirmed global death surpassed 30,000 and new virus epicenters emerged in key U.S. cities like Detroit, New Orleans and Chicago. Even rural America has not been immune, as virus hotspots...
