The New York Times featured a front-page article this past weekend  with the accusatory headline “He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus.” The so-called “newspaper of record” has chosen to scapegoat President Trump rather than thoroughly investigate the true malefactors responsible for the pandemic in the first place - Chinese government officials and the World Health Organization (WHO) leaders who did their bidding. In point of fact, many of the more than 101,000 deaths and at least 1.6 million known infections linked to the pandemic to date might have been prevented if Chinese officials,...

Absolute must. Down load and really absorb this protocol(both summary and detailed). It was originally read to me by Dr on Tele health appointment. Managed to track down source

“America Set up Black Communities to be Harder hit by COVID-19,” ran the headline of an April 8 article in The Verge by “science reporter” Justine Calma. “The COVID-19 pandemic is piling on top of a litany of health inequalities in America to kill a disproportionate number of African Americans,” Calma contends, citing Chicago, where African Americans are about 30 percent of the population but “more than half” the coronavirus cases and “about 70 percent of those who have died of the disease.” “Black People Are Dying From COVID-19 at Higher Rates Because Racism Is a Preexisting Condition,” headlined an April...

The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will hear oral arguments by telephone conference next month, including a landmark case involving President Trump's financial records. The court will hear 10 cases over six days in May, with the justices and lawyers participating over teleconference to abide by social-distancing policies. News media will have access to a live audio feed of the arguments. “In keeping with public health guidance in response to COVID-19, the justices and counsel will all participate remotely,” a court spokeswoman said. In addition to the dispute over access to Trump’s tax returns and other records, the...

Having been involved in the negotiations, to put it mildly, the number that OPEC+ is looking to cut is 20 Million Barrels a day, not the 10 Million that is generally being reported. If anything near this happens, and the World gets back to business from the Covid 19 disaster, the Energy Industry will be strong again, far faster than currently anticipated. Thank you to all of those who worked with me on getting this very big business back on track, in particular Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Mortuary suppliers have told BBC News they have no stocks of standard body bags left for sale, blaming the shortage on stockpiling due to the coronavirus pandemic. New stocks from overseas cannot be sourced for many weeks, they say. The NHS says it currently has adequate stocks but health workers report having to wrap bodies in sheets. Public Health England said the virus that caused Covid-19 degraded quickly after a patient had died. And there was no specific need for body bags to be used to transport these corpses, although "there may be other practical reasons for their use". Barber...

Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died in a car crash on Sunday night. He was 36. Jackson died in a crash in Alabama, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, according to a spokesperson for Tennessee State University.

Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the CDC, and Dr. Deborah Birx — the Coronavirus Coordinator for the White House — were the targets of a damning Department of Defense investigation after colleagues in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force blew the whistle on scientific fraud during clinical trials of a HIV/AIDS vaccine. Thomas Paine unveiled unredacted internal documents from the Dept. of Defense on the Moore Paine Show on Patreon and on the Thomas Paine Podcast detailing the probe and the scandal in the government’s medical community. Redfield, as the lead on the Army’s HIV/AIDS vaccine project, who...

CBS, the network that brought us the crying nurse with mental health issues who didn't understand hospital procedures, and the two, count 'em, two, video instances of Italian hospital mayhem to make phony claims about chaos at New York and Pennsylvania hospitals in the coronavirus pandemic, has now put out another whopper. This time, it's a 60 Minutes segment about mask and personal protective equipment shortages at a New York City hospital, which, its report argues, is all Trump's fault.

Trump’s approval rating is, according to both Monmouth University and Gallup poll, spiraling up. Yes: Despite mainstream media attempts to smear the President and accuse him of the Coronavirus deaths, Donald Trump’s approval rating has improved. That should send shivers down the spines of the president’s opponents — as should the Gallup reporting that both Democrats’ and independents’ approval of Trump shot up by 8 points since the beginning of March. Their poll shows that 60 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s response, including 60 percent of independents and 27 percent of Democrats. This has caused a liberal meltdown and...

In “He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus” (April 11, 2020) New York Times writers Eric Lipton, David E. Sanger, Maggie Haberman, Michael D. Shear, Mark Mazzetti, and Julian E. Barnes demonstrate once again why they and their newspaper cannot be trusted. The article uses significant omissions and falsehoods to argue that President Donald Trump was acting contrary to the advice he was getting from his medical and scientific expert advisors.

The New York Times finally got around to a story (page 20-21) on sexual assault allegations made against Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade. The trappings were comprehensive, with many interviews about the alleged incident, but this particular #meToo tale got a cool reception, as reporters Lisa Lerer and Sydney Ember emphasized doubts, scrupulousness the paper manifestly failed to show regarding charges made against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. And there was one paragraph (encapsulated in an already notorious deleted tweet) so jaw-dropping that it was swiftly edited out. But Twitchy caught that gaffe by the Times: Other than...

As British Prime Minister Boris Johnson struggles with his own case of the Wuhan virus, the British equivalent of President Trump’s virus task force no longer dismisses out of hand the South China University study saying the virus likely leaked from nearby viral research labs as some tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. Boris Johnson's British government now has official doubts that the accepted conventional wisdom that the virus spontaneously combusted from an obscure bat sold at a nearby “wet market” but which is in fact indigenous to a region some 900 kilometers distant from Wuhan that the locals do not in...

Idiom. Interjection: “Lord love a duck!”  1. An exclamation of surprise, shock, frustration, exasperation, anger, alarm, or annoyance. Keep it in mind; the phrase will undoubtedly come in handy in the following weeks.That’s all I’ve got. Other than to say it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a soft landing.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Ron Farmer is a Houston-based serial entrepreneur of remarkable energy. Back in 2009, and when the U.S. economy was gasping for air after a 2008 political crack-up that subsequently led to financial and economic terror, I asked Farmer how he felt given the economy’s disastrous shape. Could we recover? His response was uplifting. Paraphrasing Farmer only slightly, he quickly replied “Are you kidding me? I’m way too smart for Obama, and I was way too smart for Bush.” Farmer didn’t have time to be pessimistic. His belief in his ability to meet the needs of customers was powerful. Farmer was...

I'm sorry if this post isn't appropriate FRetiquette and I know its old news...but this stuff with Uncle Joe has to be seen and hopefully addressed by the nation, especially his own party.

WEAVERVILLE, Calif — A Weaverville couple decided to continue with their wedding plans creatively and safely during the coronavirus pandemic by choosing to ditch the traditional wedding gown and go for different attire. Stephanie and Thomas Barnes of Weaverville said they originally had plans to get married in Vegas with the family and friends attending the wedding. However, those plans changed due to the pandemic therefore they chose to get married in a less populated place in the woods. "We picked this April 1. That’s the date that we wanted and the week before, we just were like, let’s just...

Morning "A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me." Song of Solomon 1:13 Myrrh may well be chosen as the type of Jesus on account of its preciousness, its perfume, its pleasantness, its healing, preserving, disinfecting qualities, and its connection with sacrifice. But why is he compared to "a bundle of myrrh"? First, for plenty. He is not a drop of it, he is a casket full. He is not a sprig or flower of it, but a whole bundle. There is enough in Christ for all my necessities; let me not be slow to avail myself of him....

As the deadly coronavirus takes its toll on countless families, healthcare workers are doing their best to get patients the medicine and equipment they desperately need. But medical devices can do more harm than good unless properly sterilized and disinfected by applying agents such as Ethylene Oxide (EtO) gas. And, because of deeply flawed federal studies and subsequent state and local actions based on this shoddy science, production of sterilizing agents such as EtO has been put on the backburner. Policymakers must examine all the evidence at hand and keep patients safe from COVID-19 contamination. As any of the nearly...
