Mayor of Heanor in Derbyshire and Labour district councillor Sheila Oakes had responded to a Facebook post in a party group asking people to say a “little prayer” to Prime Minister Johnson who was admitted to the intensive care unit of St Thomas’ hospital in London on Monday after his condition had worsened. Miss Oakes had written on the social media platform: “Sorry, he completely deserves this, and he is one of the worst PMs we’ve ever had.” After backlash on social media, the Amber Valley Labour Group withdrew the party whip from Oakes, and she is no longer a...

I wrote an article about Long Islanders loving Long Island recently and it received more than 34,000 "likes." Thank you. However, I received too many comments saying, sadly, that some had to leave the island because of economics. "It's become too expensive!" or "It became so costly I had to move south but still visit the kids and grandkids!" some comments said. The quote that inspired this post was the one that said, "Long Island became great because it was affordable for the blue-collar working class. A place they could raise a family in an affordable house, with decent schools,...

As you know, the coronavirus—if you catch it, and get very sick—is a terrible thing to go through and you may even die.  The virus and the fear of it are sorely testing our medical capacity in some places.  And the body count will get much worse this week, right before Easter.  The heroic efforts and sacrifice of many doctors, nurses, and volunteer civilians are all notable and praiseworthy.  Millions of Americans are pulling together.  We all know this.  But do you know the odds of any American getting this virus?  One would think that number is easily known or...

Washington - Joe Biden is now the likely 2020 Democratic presidential nominee after his last remaining opponent, Bernie Sanders, dropped out of the race on Wednesday morning, a day after Wisconsin held its primary amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the results of that race will not be known until next week, Biden is widely expected to score another decisive victory. After Sanders announced the end of his presidential campaign, Biden told Sanders in a statement, "You will be heard by me. As you say: Not me, Us." He also addressed the senator's supporters: "I see you, I hear you, and...

Baton Rouge, LA – Despite a serious Coronavirus outbreak in the New Orleans area, abortion facilities in Louisiana remain open for business. At a time when ordinary citizens are ordered to stay at home, and legitimate businesses are shutting down, Louisiana abortion facilities continue to invite women seeking elective abortions – including those from out-of-state – to pack their businesses. An abortionist named Musa Williams, an intern at the LSU Medical Center, travels from the Coronavirus breakout zone in New Orleans to conduct abortions at the Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge. Recent photos of Williams taken on April 2, 2020,...

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, said the Prime Minister is “sitting up in bed” and “improving” during a daily Downing Street coronavirus briefing. The Prime Minister remains in the care of St Thomas’ Hospital NHS staff and is “improving” but still being closely watched by his clinical team. Mr Johnson was admitted to hospital on Sunday evening upon the advice of his doctor after his temperature failed to fall despite other Covid-19 symptoms subsiding. He announced his coronavirus diagnosis on March 27th on Instagram and assured Brits he was ill but choosing to social-distance as Government advice recommends.

Joe Biden’s campaign is offering to help states receive coronavirus resources through its own private connections. Let me repeat that for the CNN-impaired… Joe Biden is offering to help states get their hands on coronavirus resources through his own private connections. In other words, rather than offer these much-needed resources to the federal government or even the state and local governments, Biden’s connections are offering them to his campaign so Biden can pretend to be president while he hides out in his Delaware basement. And Joe Biden is okay with that. This is not a joke. This is really happening...

And I predict that even stranger things have happened.” - The Amazing Kreskin In what has become a continuing series on the Great Coronavirus Panic of 2020, I would like to begin this much shorter article by thanking Remnant readers for their prayers for my father, Joseph, who is still locked down in a nursing facility in which the Wuhan virus is present. So far, he is doing well and shows no signs of the virus. To sum up where we stand today, April 6: Based on the pretext that we must “limit the spread” of the Wuhan virus, the...

Walgreens pharmacies in seven states will soon offer drive-thru coronavirus testing stations.

China may have lifted a state-imposed lockdown on the city of Wuhan, but outbound travelers from what was the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak are facing severe limitations on their movements within China. Chinese news service Pengpai reported Wednesday major cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, are conducting coronavirus tests for travelers from Wuhan. In Beijing, the seat of power for the Chinese Communist Party, travelers from Wuhan are not allowed into the city unless they test negative for COVID-19, according to reports. The Chinese capital also requires people from Wuhan to quarantine and undergo a second test. A negative test...

“Might trigger violence.” Tucker Carlson wonders how Americans will react if health authorities forcibly remove family members from their homes following a World Health Organization official’s suggestion that this scenario could happen.During his monologue last night, the Fox News hosted drew attention to a statement made by Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program, back on March 30 which was not reported by the mainstream media.Ryan was asked by a reporter; “Do you think that home quarantine will be as effective anywhere for people who are positive, or would central quarantine be needed...

On his Fox News show last night, Tucker Carlson noted that experts, including Dr. Zeke Emanuel [of the hard-left Center for American Progress], are saying society cannot return to normal for at least 18 months. Carlson pointed out how wrong those same experts have been when it came to projecting hospitalization rates, needed numbers of ventilators, etc. On today's Morning Joe, Emanuel called Carlson a "right-wing clone" of President Trump, and whined that Tucker was "attacking" him. Emanuel claimed he was merely promoting "physical distancing." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Some scientists and commentators, like leading coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, have referenced the possibility of a “second wave” of the coronavirus pandemic in the fall, following expected slower growth rates of COVID-19 cases during the summer,

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday in a conference call with staff, his campaign said in a statement.

Government Accountability Insititute (GAI) research director Eric Eggers, author of Fraud: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election, says the Democrats’ plan for nationwide mail-in voting would send ballots to 24 million inaccurate and flawed voter registrations. In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight, Eggers said nationwide mail-in voting would be wide open to fraud and abuse. “The concern I have if we’re trying to mandate national mail-in elections — which by the way was part of the language that Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats inserted in the first version of the most recent stimulus...

We’ve been harping on this for a couple of weeks now, focusing on it in Louisiana, but last week it started to become a more national thing when Fox News anchor emeritus Brit Hume noted on Twitter that New York’s Wuhan virus death rate reflects everybody who has the virus and then dies, whether they die of the virus or some other cause. Hume was pilloried by the usual suspects, but his reasoning was quite sound. And since we know the vast majority of the people who get a serious enough case of the Wuhan virus to put their lives...

In what is difficult to comprehend as anything other than delusional, a Planned Parenthood leader appeared to suggest that killing unborn babies is “more essential” than any other health care. On Tuesday, Nancie Schwarzman, a board member of Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, insisted that abortions are important medical care – perhaps the most important health care of all. “This health crisis is being used as a tool to shut down clinics, deeming many of our services, including access to abortions as non-essential care,” Schwarzman said, according to WPRI News 12. “Can you imagine anything more essential and time-sensitive?”...
