This isn't a "bombshell" in the sense that it delivers stunning or shocking information. We already knew that China's government has been lying to the world for months about the Wuhan coronavirus, with their active cover-up alive and well -- very much unlike an unknown number of their citizens. Nevertheless, yesterday's Associated Press scoop, featuring information gleaned from leaked internal documents, is damning and remarkable for the timeline it exposes: Bombshell from @AP: internal Chinese documents show central govt held teleconference on Jan 14 with instructions from Xi on epidemic & acknowledged likely H2H transmission.China CDC and WHO publicly said...

WASHINGTON—Banking and financial services executives told President Trump that his administration needed to dramatically increase the availability of coronavirus testing before the public would be confident enough to return to work, eat at restaurants or shop in retail establishments, according to people familiar with the matter. The push for more testing came in the first of four Wednesday phone calls that Mr. Trump held with business executives on his newly formed task force to reopen the economy. The president has been intensely focused on the topic amid increasingly dire economic data; Wednesday brought reports that retail sales and U.S. industrial...

On April 9, right in the middle of New York’s epic battle against COVID-19, the state legislature passed, and Governor Cuomo signed, a bill that legalizes commercial surrogacy. As of February 15, 2021, residents of New York will be able to enter into legally enforceable surrogacy contracts. From the beginning to the end, this debate was never driven by any serious consideration of what’s good for women and children, but by “heartstrings rhetoric, celebrity endorsement,” and especially, gay-rights advocates. As I predicted, the final proposal lacked adequate and necessary safeguards against the exploitation and commodification of women’s bodies, or the...

Forty-three thousand taxpayers who make more than one million dollars annually are going to be getting benefits worth a whopping $1.7 million on average.

When do the liberal media's unctuous interviews of Democrats stop being journalism and start constituting campaign contributions-in-kind? The question arises again today in the context of Morning Joe's interview of Joe Biden. Here's how Mika Brzezinski teased the upcoming "Special Report": We’ll be focusing on two key themes. The nation’s leading health experts answer your questions about the pandemic. And we’re drilling down on how the decisions our leaders make today will affect the country long into the future. Our special guests will include Joe and Jill Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and retired General Stanley McChrystal. And, Lady Gaga talking about...

The National Rifle Association has issued an alert that Democrats are using the worldwide coronavirus pandemic to push for more gun control. A bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., "would leave law-abiding Americans defenseless," the organization charged. "At a time when our nation struggles, everyone's first and foremost concern is the safety of themselves and their loved ones. However, this doesn't stop Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) from pushing a massive gun grab bill in the U.S. House of Representatives," the group said. The bill, H.R. 5717, the Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act, is nothing new, the...

Despite the warnings the US National Institute of Health (NIH) awarded a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan lab studying the bat virus. This was after State Department warned about the risky tests going on in the lab. US taxpayers have been forking over millions to pay for research at Chinese universities and laboratories. The NIH gave MILLIONS to Chinese universities and laboratories over the past several years. Here are a few pages on NIH donations to Chinese universities. While Americans are starving the NIH was sending millions to China.

Let’s just say that African customers craving a Big Mac from McDonald’s for lunch in Guangzhou were not lovin’ it when they discovered that they had been banned from entering the restaurant. A branch of the fast-food chain posted a notice stating, “We’ve been informed that from now on black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant.” Guangzhou is home to one of China’s largest African communities. It is a hub for African traders to buy and sell goods. Tensions are high between Chinese locals and Africans in the city. Blame the coronavirus for this incident. Online rumors...

It is my understanding that the stimulus check is actually an advance upon a 2020 tax year tax credit. If that’s true and you receive a check based on your 2019 AGI but your 2020 AGI is high enough to disqualify you, do you owe the advance back to the IRS. Also if a baby is born this year after you get your check will you be able to collect its $500 on your 2020 taxes?

This is amazing.I normally do not care for the CBS show 60 minutes and their Leftist virtue signaling.  However, this 15 minute segment is one of the exceptions from 1976 with Mike Wallace.  It is very relative to what we are hearing about vaccines today, and how Bill Gates, the W.H.O., the CDC, the U.N., etc..  are trying to make it a requirement for a job to be free, etc..  I thought that was called medical tyranny? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I0hIC6GqMc&feature=emb_title     

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed to oppose President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend funding for the World Health Organisation (WHO), a move widely criticised as dangerous and harmful during a global pandemic. “The president’s halting of funding to the WHO as it leads the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic is senseless,” Pelosi said in a statement. “This decision is dangerous, illegal and will be swiftly challenged.” Trump announced his intention to suspend the funding on Tuesday, accusing the United Nations’ public health agency of “severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus”. Payments would be held...

Some die-hard drivers say you aren’t really driving a car unless you are in a stick shift. But the manual transmission is dying out. Just 41 out of the 327 new car models sold in the United States in 2020, or 13%, are offered with a manual transmission, according to data from Edmunds. That is a tremendous drop from less than a decade ago. In 2011, 37% percent came with manuals.

By: Hassan.Mahmoudi In response to the outbreak of Coronavirus, all countries have taken mid and long-term strategic measures to maintain the health and livelihood of their community. Actions were taken based on their assessment of changes in economic structures and social relations after outbreak of Coronavirus. But the situation in Iran is different. The ruling Mullahs and the Iranian government have gone through the experience of the anti-government uprising of November 2019 and February 2020, strategic blows such as the death of Qassem Soleimani and downing of a Ukrainian plane and severely weakened proxy forces. Mullahs clearly feel the prospect...

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus appeared alive again to his followers. Upon seeing him, "they were startled and terrified." They are terrified because the one they abandoned and betrayed and left for dead is back—undoubtedly for revenge! Luke’s risen Jesus does two things in the presence of his shocked followers. The first thing is that he shows them his wounds. This move is a reiteration of the judgment of the cross: don’t forget, he tells them, what the world did when the Author of life appeared. But he does something else; he says, "Shalom"—"Peace be with you." In this, he...

The Chinese coronavirus has put a huge damper on business activity, consumer spending and transportation, especially recreational/discretionary spending and activity. With the lockdown and stay-at-home orders widespread in the U.S. and many other major countries, personal driving and regular passenger car/bus/train/air travel have all declined precipitously. This has dropped the demand for crude oil by millions of barrels per day. The upside is that retail gasoline pricing has fallen and the average driver is quite happy about the new lower prices. He shouldn’t be. He's getting a raw deal. As world oil demand dropped, Saudi Arabia and Russia -- two...

Have a question. Is the Wuhan lab still open? SHUT IT DOWN, NOW!!..... Duh!

Harvard University is not ruling out the possibility that it might not open its campus again to students until 2021. The announcement comes as Harvard researchers have said that social distancing measures may be necessary until 2022. "We are analyzing multiple scenarios, but, in the end, we will be guided by public health considerations—just as we were in deciding on March 10 to send students home and then to implement plans for remote work" In a message to students on Monday, Harvard University President Lawrence Bacow wrote, "Many of you are concerned about plans for the fall. We are analyzing...

Queen Margrethe of Denmark turns 80 today, and to commemorate the occasion she gave an interview that appeared in the newspaper Politiken on Saturday. The conversation was wide-ranging, but the part that made headlines throughout Scandinavia was her admission that while she considers climate change an important issue, she’s not personally panicked about it, and that while she’s aware that climate does change – “it has changed and is changing all the time” – she’s not certain whether humans directly influence those changes. Let it be emphasized here that this is one queen who actually knows something about these matters:...

How do you solve a problem like Joe Biden? (This is where the nuns start singing and dancing.) The Democrats have had other nominees who were a hoot. In 1988, Mike Dukakis thought being a card-carrying member of the ACLU would be a turn-on for voters. In 2000, Al Gore thought he invented the Internet and predicted global extinction, due to climate change, within the decade. Hillary Clinton never missed a chance to do her Margaret Hamilton (“I’ll get you, my Deplorable, and your little Constitution, too!”). When she lost the 2016 election, the Munchkins were delirious. But Clueless Joe...

The experts on TV have tackled a question occupying the minds of many anxious Americans worrying about their jobs: when will things get back to normal? If that means returning to the carefree days of just two months ago before the shutdown, the short answer is: hopefully never. The coronavirus isn’t going anywhere; it’s just going to mutate, which it may be doing even now. We haven’t been able to eradicate other coronaviruses, like the one responsible for the common cold, nor have we been able to eradicate the seasonal flu, which constantly mutates, requiring new vaccines. It then follows...
