When asked about the 2020 election between presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, McCain refused to say who will be getting her vote. However, she did say, “I keep telling everyone I will promise you will know who I'm voting for but it won't take a rocket scientist to know.” Joe Biden was a long-time friend to the McCain family and even spoke at John McCain’s funeral. Whereas Donald Trump did not attend the funeral and has repeatedly attacked the war hero and long-time Arizona senator. “There is one who has made pain in my life a...

How did CBS Evening News celebrate Earth Day? By sharing the ugly sentiment that humans were not needed. That’s exactly what reporter John Blackstone suggested in his Wednesday report touting how the deadly Chinese coronavirus, which had killed more than 47,000 Americans and left 22 million unemployed, was keeping the country stuck inside. “Tonight, we mark the 50th anniversary of Earth day. There were supposed to be big celebrations around the world, but instead, people are celebrating inside and they're celebrating cleaner air and cleaner water,” boasted anchor Norah O’Donnell as she led into the segment. Blackstone kicked off his...

The irresponsible, biased, and scaremonger mainstream media has been dishonestly and grossly overstating the death rate of COVID-19 in order to try to justify totalitarian lockdowns and economic destruction. Here are examples of doctors and scientists showing that the real COVID-19 death rate is far, far lower than what the mainstream media has been saying. On March 30, 2020, I wrote:It’s possible that the number of people in the U.S. who are infected with COVID-19 is much bigger than the number that is being currently reported, but many of those people haven’t gotten substantially sick, and so haven’t gotten tested.The death...

Prayers up for all the families suffering from the impact of this virus. And we're still praying that the spread starts fading with the warmer Spring weather and that an effective treatment and vaccine are developed before the next flu season starts. And we pray that our people are allowed to go back to work very soon and that our economy comes roaring back. Meanwhile, we may be hurt and slowed down somewhat, but we have faith in the long-run that "what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger." God willing, America will survive and we will survive and we...

Gilead antiviral drug remdesivir flops in first trial Exclusive: Disappointing results revealed in draft documents published accidentally by WHO

The antiviral medicine remdesivir from Gilead Sciences failed to speed the improvement of patients with Covid-19 or prevent them from dying, according to results from a long-awaited clinical trial conducted in China. Gilead, however, said the data suggest a “potential benefit.” A summary of the study results was inadvertently posted to the website of the World Health Organization and seen by STAT on Thursday, but then removed.

As of Thursday, nearly 16,000 people in New York have died of virus-related complications. With 250,000-plus confirmed cases, the mortality rate would be as high as 16 percent. With 2.7 million cases, it would be around 0.5 percent -- much lower, though still much higher than the seasonal flu.

The coronavirus dominates the news on every network. NBC Nightly News had covered the virus that started in China since Jan. 17, the “first day the networks arrived at the coronavirus story.” None of the on-air coverage between Sept. 1, 2019 - April 14, 2020 mentioned how the network’s parent company is building a theme park … in China. In fact, NBC News has made only one online mention in six months of the Universal Studios theme park being built in China’s capital of Beijing. If the positive coverage of China’s handling of the coronavirus coming from NBC News seemed...

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Sacrifices Cleric to Caesar Pro-gay prelate backs cops who 'illegally' disrupted Mass SONCINO, Italy (ChurchMilitant.com) - An Italian bishop notorious for his hostility to the Latin Mass is censuring a courageous priest who continued celebrating Mass despite paramilitary police ordering him to stop.   Bishop Antonio Napolioni, an LGBT advocate, denounced Fr. Lino Viola on the Cremona diocese website for failing "to comply with the current emergency legislation that prohibits the celebration of the Mass in the presence of the faithful." Refusing to condemn Sunday's heavy-handed police raid on the church, Napolioni instead "underlined with regret" that the priest's behavior was "in contradiction with the civil and canonical...

The War with rogue Media

An empty grocery shelf focuses the mind like nothing else. With COVID-19 disrupting supply chains and triggering higher-than-usual consumer demand, many of us have been shocked to find food staples in short supply. Although these shortages will resolve as supply chains re-boot, the main reason they will self-correct is thanks to the unsung heroes on the frontlines of the nation’s food supply: America’s farmers. While the American economy has ground to a near-halt, farmers are still on the job, producing the vegetables, dairy, grains, meat, sugar beets and cane that bring us not just farm-fresh ingredients, but the many non-perishables...

"More than 20 percent of people tested for virus antibodies in N.Y.C. tested positive. About 21 percent of people in New York City who were tested for coronavirus antibodies this week tested positive, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Thursday. The surprising results come from a state program that randomly tested 3,000 supermarket customers across New York State. "

In this video, Patriot Nurses calls out the elements of the healthcare industry (or those masquerading as such) that blocked protesters in Colorado from peaceably exercising their First Amendments Rights to freedom of assembly and freedom to petition their government for redress of grievances. Marxist elements within nurses unions and the healthcare industrial complex are now drunk on their own power. Many healthcare workers do NOT think or believe this way. When it's time to call a spade a spade, I'm gonna do it. Some type of error occurred in the first video, but we're back in business!

Churchill Downs announced April 23 that it will conduct a virtual running of the Kentucky Derby during a telecast on NBC on May 2 from 3-6 p.m. ET on the traditional day of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1).

At Wednesday's coronavirus task force briefing, President Trump sparred with ABC's Jonathan Karl over ventilators. For weeks Karl and other White House reporters have been demanding to know how the government was going to be able to supply all the ventilators our hospitals need for the overwhelming influx of coronavirus patients. Now, when they've exceeded those expectations and we have a surplus of ventilators, Trump observed that the media has gone silent. "We're now supplying ventilators all over the world because no other country could have done what we did, and you should say that's a great story," Trump instructed...

When Boeing workers returned en masse Tuesday to the airplane factories in the Puget Sound region after a four-week shutdown, they found a changed workplace, cleaner and with a series of safety protocols in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Even as Boeing faces a drastic collapse in its business due to the near disappearance of air travel, management instructed about 27,000 factory employees to return to work this week. Yet with the coronavirus still threatening lives nationwide, the first to return came back with varying levels of unease. “Our members have some tough decisions to make personally...

When asked Wednesday about the economic and emotional tolls many New Yorkers are facing as a result of the coronavirus crisis, the State’s Governor Andrew Cuomo said that although the lockdown is difficult for residents, it’s their “responsibility” to comply in order to save lives. Although he recognized that there are issues from the current social distancing measures such as a rise in domestic violence, emotional stress, and increased economic anxiety, Cuomo said it’s “very bad,” but “not death.” “Economic hardship, yes, very bad, not death. Emotional stress from being locked in a house very bad, not death,” Cuomo said....
