Kathy Griffin, the "comedian" who sent her career into a tailspin with repeated barrages of vicious and intemperate jibes at President Trump, the most infamous of which was a picture of her holding what appeared to be his severed head, recently checked into a hospital and demanded she be tested for COVID-19. Since her symptoms didn't meet the guidelines, the hospital refused. After examining the patient, the hospital doctor diagnosed her ailment as a "stomach infection," gave her a prescription and sent her home. Griffin contends that this diagnosis "was politically tainted. I've been on a 'blacklist' ever since I...

I turned on the television to watch the President's Coronavirus Update. NOT A MAJOR NETWORK CARRIED IT! NOT EVEN PBS (Supported by OUR tax-payer dollars) CARRIED IT. This is a pandemic! Up to 200,000 lives could be lost to the virus! I do not want to hear what a COMMENTATOR wants tell me what the President said this evening. I want to hear what the PRESIDENT wants to tell me himself. VENTING.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2)The apostle Paul is trying to comfort a new church, which had received supposed correspondence from Paul, saying that they were already experiencing the “Day of Christ”. It all seemed plausible to them, because they had endured an intense persecution from the very beginning of...

The source of the hopes for a coronavirus cure should raise a lot of red flags. President Donald Trump’s daily press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic has been compared to many things: state propaganda, daily talk show, three-ring circus. It is somehow all of these things, but it is also something else: an infomercial. For the past two weeks, the president has been hawking a miracle cure: the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. He has hailed it as “very encouraging,” a “phenomenal drug,” and “the biggest game changer in the history of medicine.” Trump has also portrayed it as a Hail Mary:...

Good Evening And WELCOME To The Mark Levin Show!

Rachel Maddow said back on March 20 that President Donald Trump's hospital Navy ship probably wouldn't be around for weeks. Maddow suggested there is "no sign" of the ships getting there on time, or for a few weeks. Maddow was proven wrong as...

Arizona has not rolled out any statewide coronavirus lockdown measures in what some panicked residents are slamming as a “huge, sick experiment,” according to a report. The Grand Canyon State is among 10 states that have no shelter-in-place measures on the state, county or municipal level, the Guardian reported...

Crowds of gawkers ignored New York’s social-distance regulations and packed the west side of Manhattan on Monday to watch a US Navy hospital ship arrive to give badly needed coronavirus aid. The throngs of people stood shoulder to shoulder and took photos of the USNS Comfort as it pulled into Pier 90 near West 50th Street at about 10:40 a.m., photos of the scene show. Some waved American flags and others huddled against one another at the fence of the pier. Meanwhile, joggers out for a morning run brushed past the onlookers.

Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion corporation, will be allowed to continue committing abortions in Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic. CBS News reporter Kate Smith broke the news on Twitter, announcing that a federal judge granted Planned Parenthood and the Center of Reproductive Rights a temporary restraining order against Attorney General Ken Paxton’s order for all abortions to be banned. Calling abortions non-essential services during the coronavirus pandemic, any abortion that was considered not medically necessary for the life or health of the mother was not allowed, with abortionists who violated the order facing a $1,000 fine or 180 days...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Some hospitals in West Virginia are starting to have cash flow problems with the doing away of elective surgeries and other procedures due to the coronavirus. West Virginia Hospital Association President Joe Letnaunchyn said many services normally offered are being put off in the current environment. “The Surgeon General said cancel elective surgeries and you cancel electives, you cancel other related ancillary services and the revenue stream dries up,” Letnaunchyn said during an appearance Monday on MetroNews “Talkline.” “So we’re trying to find alternate ways to provide revenue to the hospitals in the interim until the federal...

Late Friday afternoon, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), or “Phase 3” of the coronavirus relief packages, into law. The bipartisan $2.2 trillion COVID-19 relief package passed in the Senate by a unanimous 96-0 vote on Wednesday, followed by a voice vote in the U.S. House Representatives Friday afternoon. The CARES Act aims to financially assist American families and businesses in the wake of the economic disruption of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic sweeping the nation and world. The Act provides direct cash payments of $1,200 to most American adults, and an additional $500...

Amid all the political name-calling and finger-pointing over who’s to blame and how to attack the Wuhan coronavirus, one thing surprisingly gets little mention at all: regulation. But bad regulation not only slowed our response, it likely added to our death count. We’re happy to note that in recent days and weeks, President Trump has helped ease the regulatory burden of our response to the coronavirus, pushing Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control, our main health agencies, to bend, suspend and in some cases upend useless rules. But that doesn’t mean...

President Trump has taken bold and decisive steps to stop the spread of the Wuhan virus across America. In doing so, he has become a wartime president. But the enemy he is fighting is the Chinese Communist Party. Long before this crisis, the CCP was waging political and economic war against the United States. The Wuhan virus is merely another weapon in this war. As a nation we need to understand this immediately, since the first casualty has been the material well-being of the American people. Our Foe Let us first consider our enemy. The Chinese Communist Party, led by...

CNN journalist Yamiche Alcindor asked President Donald Trump a question about a Sean Hannity interview where he allegedly said that certain states' leaders are asking for ventilators and other things that they do not need. Trump, visibly irritated (and rightfully so) responded with a degree of disdain. He did not like the way the question was phrased or the general tone behind it, saying that it was threatening and not nice. This type of behavior from CNN is, of course, not new at all. It is pretty much par for the course. As more and more people cut their cords...

The New York Times economist blowhard Paul Krugman seems to think communist China is more adept at handling the coronavirus pandemic than the United States.Krugman took advantage of the ongoing coronavirus issue to plaster a lazy, highly-politicized tweet against President Donald Trump and the U.S., saying, “America's response to the coronavirus is the worst in the world, which is shocking and has a lot to do with a leader [Trump] who is completely unfit, temperamentally and intellectually, for the job,” Krugman tweeted March 29. The tweet included a graph showing the comparative virus case trajectories of different countries.

Malaria medicine 'Hydroxychloroquine' is being administered to 1,100 coronavirus patients in New York, President Donald Trump has said, exuding confidence that the drug, touted as a "game-changer" by him, might give some incredible results in the fight against the disease that has infected over 140,000 people in the country. An inexpensive drug widely used since 1955 to treat malaria, Hydroxychloroquine is considered to have relatively harmless side effects. It is being tested out on the COVID-19 patients in New York on an experimental basis, hoping that this will give a solution in the treatment against the novel coronavirus. "Hydroxychloroquine is...
