If your name is Bill Gates, it’s safe to assume that you are not living paycheck to paycheck. So, his suggestion of closing down the entire economy for at least two months is of little consequence to him and his family. They won’t miss a mortgage payment or fret the MasterCard bill. The same can be said for many of the other experts who are recommending a nearly total shutdown of American commerce. The creators of the alarming models. The ones who daily speculate about the potential death toll. The ones who groaned when Dr. Oz suggested that hydroxychloroquine, a...

Democrats are pouncing on the Coronavirus, looking to take advantage of the sudden support for big government projects to "re-shape society" in a more progressive vision. Over the last few weeks, Democrats have urged using the crisis to pursue single-payer health care, nationalized industry, the conscription of medical workers, an expanded social welfare system, and the Green New Deal. California's Gavin Newsom said the pandemic created an opportunity to "reshape" society. ...

Dozens of defiant Christian pastors across the country are preparing to open their church doors to their congregations for Palm Sunday, despite strict lockdown orders to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 'We're defying the rules because the commandment of God is to spread the Gospel,' Louisiana pastor Tony Spell told Reuters Saturday. More than 8,000 Americans have died from the highly contagious coronavirus in recent weeks, prompting officials and medical experts to plead with the public to practice social distancing. But Spell, whose Life Tabernacle megachurch in Baton Rouge boasts 1,000 members, plans on holding three services on Palm Sunday.

President Trump fired corrupt and controversial deep state hack ICIG Michael Atkinson on Friday night. As we reported in November, Deep State ICIG Michael Atkinson altered the whistleblower form to allow for second-hand information, which allowed suspected Schiff whistleblower Eric Ciaramella to present a bogus accusation on the President. As we reported previously, Atkinson changed the IC whistleblower form sometime before September shortly after a CIA Agent, who was spying in the Trump White House, drafted a complaint on President Trump. Atkinson saw to it that the whistleblower form was updated to allow for second hand information, which the ‘whistleblower’...

The Coronavirus crisis took the US by storm, spiking unemployment and crashing the stock market virtually over night. The media is bombarding Americans around the clock with updates on the death count, highlighting death maps and scaring people into staying home. Governors are forcing small businesses to shut down and threatening to jail anyone who violates their authoritarian social distancing orders. The media hysteria is based on a Bill Gates-funded IHME Coronavirus model that has been proven to be way off. It gets worse… The amount of Americans who are reported to have died from the Coronavirus is based on...

"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore." Remember that line from the famous American movie "Network"? It's time for a rebellion. Every out-of-work American and every out-of-business American business owner needs to open their windows and shout it, shout it so loud it reaches President Donald Trump, Congress and every swamp politician from Washington D.C., to New York to Boston to Beverly Hills, California. It's time for this madness to stop. Mr. President, do you understand how many suicides of prominent business owners are going to start piling up? Here in Las Vegas, a business...

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta said President Trump is not grasping the reality that he has been wrong and the scientists have been right in commentary delivered Friday night on CNN. Acosta said while Trump blames the Obama administration for not having a stockpile of medical equipment he has had 3 years to restock. "This administration did not prepare when it had a chance," Acosta said. (snip) Acosta: I think, as Sanjay was saying, we don't know what we don't know. And, you know, you would think, at this point, Anderson, the president would be humbled somewhat by being...

We’re living in truly extraordinary times — and no, I’m not talking about Netflix’s Tiger King documentary. I’m referring to the unprecedented actions taken by the Federal Reserve and national government to deal with the severe economic consequences of policymakers’ decision to shut down much of the U.S. economy to keep people safe from coronavirus. Over the past several weeks, the Fed has started to implement its plan to “print” trillions of dollars to bolster credit markets, and Congress and the Trump administration recently signed into law a gargantuan $2 trillion stimulus package. Even more incredibly, President Trump is now...

Predicting the future is a tough racket. If people were any good at it, we’d all be multiple lottery winners. Since we aren’t, that’s a pretty good indication that we have the ability to guess what will happen, but possess no clairvoyance. That brings us to today, when the country and the world are shut down over what is expected to happen with the coronavirus. Like everything else, the predictions aren’t panning out. Were this just $2 wasted on a lottery ticket it wouldn’t matter. But are we hurting millions of people and spending trillions of dollars on nothing more...

WASHINGTON — There was a knock on our NBC News workspace door at the White House. I first assumed it was a colleague or a press aide coming by with an update. Instead, it was a White House official I'd never seen before with a forehead thermometer in his hand. He had come to take my temperature before I could go into the White House briefing. The first reading he took was high; I'd been sitting by a heater at my desk for the past hour, but still my heart started to race. Several panic-inducing seconds later, I passed and...
