Hope I don’t get in trouble for this vanity, but it’s a question that no reporter at these briefings ever asks On the contrary, yesterday reporters at the briefing were denouncing the Gov of Georgia for getting ready to open hair salons But somehow our political and medical leaders/rulers are still looking well-groomed. What’s their secret?

(CNN)Two cats in New York have been infected with the novel coronavirus, federal officials announced Wednesday. Both had mild respiratory symptoms and are expected to make a full recovery. "These are the first pets in the United States to test positive," the US Department of Agriculture said Wednesday in a joint statement with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agencies emphasized that there is no evidence pets play a role in spreading coronavirus in the United States. "There is no justification in taking measures against companion animals that may compromise their welfare," they said.

Voter fraud is too nominal to make a difference in any given election, goes one popular line of argument. But tell that to voters in parts of Florida, Missouri, New York, and North Carolina in recent years. Districts in these four states saw election outcomes overturned after absentee voter fraud came to light. Now, with millions of Americans homebound because of COVID-19, progressives are amping up their push for national mail-in voting as Michelle Obama throws her support behind related legislation purporting to be a response to the pandemic.

The Trump administration launched an interactive webpage Wednesday streaming footage of the wall being constructed on the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) webpage streams video and drone footage of the construction of the border wall, which was a key proposal of President Trump’s agenda during the 2016 campaign. The CBP page also includes an interactive map that allows users to zoom in on new construction projects along the border wall, as well as an infographic of the border wall construction. “President Trump is delivering on his promise to build a border...

New York state issued a blanket do-not-resuscitate directive last week instructing first-responders not to try to revive patients without a pulse amid increased call volumes and lack of resources during the coronavirus public health crisis, according to a report. Paramedics were previously told to attempt to resuscitate a patient found in cardiac arrest for up to 20 minutes, the New York Post reported. The new order is “necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,’’ according to a memo issued last...

(The Center Square) – As protests against his orders shutting down the state’s economy went on outside the Capitol on Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo rejected the idea that economic woes were becoming a bigger threat to state residents than the coronavirus crisis that caused the shutdown in the first place. Wednesday's protests are part of a series of demonstrations that have taken place across the country in the past few weeks. The governor was asked during his daily briefing on the viral pandemic if he could hear the protestors outside and what he thought of their concerns. “The...

Annapolis, Maryland — A woman was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital emergency room after suffering chest pains with sweats at the Annapolis Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Annapolis, Maryland. An ambulance crew and fire unit were dispatched to render aid on February 24, 2020. The incident was classified as a “Priority 2” emergency, which signifies a serious, but not immediately life-threatening condition. A heavily redacted Computer Aided Dispatch printout (CAD) confirmed details about the emergency response. Operation Rescue’s request for the audio recording of the call was denied by Ann Arundel County authorities. The Annapolis Planned Parenthood failed...

THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Florida voters don't have a clear favorite in the upcoming presidential election. If the election for president were being held today, former Vice President Joe Biden would get 46 percent of the vote, while Trump would get 42 percent. The candidates are holding their bases just about equally well, as Biden wins among Democrats 91 - 4 percent and Trump wins among Republicans 89 - 7 percent. The race is close among the key swing group, independents, with Biden getting 44 percent of the vote and Trump receiving 37 percent.

New Orleans, LA – A medical emergency occurred at the Women’s Health Center abortion facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, yesterday, despite efforts by State Attorney General Jeff Landry to enforce an order that should have shut down Louisiana’s abortion businesses due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The emergency, which occurred on April 21, 2020, was located in the midst of an area where a major COVID-19 outbreak has occurred. In a photo provided to Operation Rescue by a local pro-life activist, an African-American woman was seen fully clothed on a gurney with arms up as if she was in distress. A...

Should homeschooling be banned? Harvard Magazine and one of Harvard’s law professors, Elizabeth Bartholet, think so. This is despite the fact that Harvard University admits an appreciable number of homeschooled students to both its undergraduate and graduate programs every year. Readers are urged to conclude that there is an educational crisis at hand. Perhaps there is a crisis, but not in the homeschooling community but rather at Harvard. Let’s deal briefly with the elementary matter of spelling and proofreading. Harvard originally spelled “arithmetic” incorrectly in its illustration of a home-prison depicting an unhappy homeschooled child. It was rendered “arithmatic.” Ahem....

French researchers are planning to test nicotine patches on coronavirus patients and frontline health workers after a study suggested smokers may be much less at risk of contracting the virus. The study at a major Paris hospital suggests a substance in tobacco – possibly nicotine – may be stopping patients who smoke from catching Covid-19. Clinical trials of nicotine patches are awaiting the approval of the country’s health authorities.

The COVID-19 virus certainly seems like it was no accident, hitting at the time that it did ... but as a bio-engineering threat, it's a bit of a flop. Why would a hostile actor (presumably either the government of China or globalists seeking the downfall of Donald Trump and possibly Brexit as a second target) unleash a virus that killed relatively few people and those mainly the already sick and elderly? In my view, this points to the design being a psych-op of some kind, and it has worked as such. Our governments have bought into a near-panic response, closing...

The U.S. Navy hospital USNS Comfort has been ordered to return to its homeport in Virginia less than a month after arriving in New York to offer surge capacity for overwhelmed New York area hospitals, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a coronavirus task force press briefing on Tuesday.
