After a month of sheltering in place, hundreds of millions of Americans will soon emerge from the new “normal.” Georgia, Colorado, and Alaska (among other states) are giving their residents some freedom to return to their old lives, with many “non-essential” businesses resuming operations. Plenty of public health advocates are concerned and have raised legitimate questions about the timing of such policies. But, done right, a cautious re-opening of America can lay the groundwork for renewed prosperity and lead to better health outcomes than continued, blanket stay-at-home orders. And a robust system of American federalism allows states to emulate best...

Folks, you cannot make this up. Fauci was HEAD of NIH when this study was published. (Read study) He knows DARN WELL that cloroquine is an effective treatment!

SYDNEY—Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne has cautioned China against attempts at “economic coercion” as Australia pushes for an investigation into the CCP virus pandemic. Australia last week called for all members of the World Health Organization (WHO) to support an independent review into the origins and spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, and is lobbying world leaders. Payne said in a statement on April 27 that Australia had made a “principled call” for an independent review of the COVID-19 outbreak which started in the Chinese city of Wuhan. “We reject any suggestion...

I was going to let the kerfuffle pass about Trumps "thinking out loud" last week, but as usual, it kept eating at me until I have to say something. Trump was widely ridiculed for suggesting that science should look into light and temp to treat Covid, and as usual, the morons in the MSM didn't even look into if it has already been done. I thought this would easily be shot down right away, but as usual, nobody said a word. First of all, a few weeks back, when everyone was crying about lack of PPE, Trump suggested that the...

Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt defended reopening his state Sunday saying the state has passed its peak of hospitalizations and built up its health care capacity to adequately deal with the case load.“You have to go back and think about why we closed down in the first place,” Stitt told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” I’ve issued 15 executive orders since March 15 when I first declared a state of emergency, but it was to build capacity in our hospitals to make sure we didn’t overrun our health care system. It was to build supply for [Personal Protective...

Editor's Note: This column was co-authored by Loyd Pettegrew.Free market economist Frederick Hayek held forth that socialistic economic planning, regulation, and intervention pave the way to totalitarianism by building a power structure that will inevitably be seized by the most power-hungry and unscrupulous. Hayek is quick to point out that emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberties have been taken away. It is a very short and slippery slope to an authoritarian dictatorship. The USSR, and Nazi Germany labeled themselves as socialist governments. Venezuela has been transformed from a democracy to a socialist dictatorship...

Could Edward John Smith save the Titanic? We know from history that tragically he never could have. The ship was doomed and no optimistic appraisals nor remedies could have saved that doomed wounded ship from its final demise. Now, will Donald Trump be re-elected in November of 2020, and if so, will he be able to save an American social and cultural wasteland with half of this nation at war with him 24/7! Those who fully oppose him, fully embrace national godlessness and lawlessness, its horrific social destructive forces and hardcore socialism and marxism (View this post's title image above)?...

(Reuters) - Millions of pounds of beef, pork and chicken will vanish from U.S. grocery stores as livestock and poultry processing plants have been shuttered by coronavirus outbreaks among workers, the chairman of Tyson Foods Inc said.

I met Kristine Luken posthumously. She and a mutual friend, Kay Wilson, were victims of a terrorist attack in Israel in 2010. Miraculously, Kay survived. Upon meeting Kristine’s twin sister Kathleen, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. Non-Israelis are not enveloped in the community as are other families of victims, nor are they remembered on Yom Hazikaron, Memorial Day, this week when Israel remembers nearly 24,000 soldiers and terror victims. Being outside Israel, families like Kristine’s are excluded. Not deliberately, just circumstantially. Mourning Alone“I’ve never met anyone who has lost a loved one to terrorism. I searched...

What will keep you out of Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS Heaven will not be your application and practice of a moral and conservative lifestyle but REJECTING Almighty God's saving solution that is only found in Jesus Christ the Lamb of Almighty God. (John 3:36, Rom. 10:2-4). No doubt there is much more to comprehend about each individual's personal decision on this matter but whatever the hurt or pain or sorrow or addiction, Almighty God wants to help you and to bring you unto Himself; to love you and ETERNALLY heal as only He can (John 3:16-17)! Only Almighty...

In March, when a former aide to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused the candidate of sexually assaulting her in 1993, two people came forward to say that the woman, Tara Reade, had told them of the incident shortly after it allegedly occurred — her brother, Collin Moulton, and a friend who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. Now two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain details about Reade's claims. One of them — a former neighbor of Reade's — has told Insider for the first time, on the record, that Reade disclosed details about the...

Deaths at nursing homes now account for nearly half of all COVID-19-related fatalities in Connecticut. Newly released statewide numbers show a dire increase in cases and deaths. At least one resident has died in the majority of the state’s nursing homes. And death rates at some facilities are approaching one in four residents. The state chief medical examiner said last week some nursing homes aren’t reporting deaths. Governor Ned Lamont ordered nursing homes to make daily status reports to the state. The president of the state’s largest nursing home association said facilities have followed all guidance and best practices. At...

I am one of the purportedly most vulnerable among us, elderly and with chronic lung problems, so I appreciate all the sacrifices the rest of society are making to protect my life. But even as an ostensible beneficiary of the lockdown, I worry that these sacrifices are just not worth it. I appreciate the efforts to save my life, but I would rather my children and grandchildren face a world that is not bankrupt. I think many of us in the later stages of life worry less about prolonging the lives we have already lived for so many years and...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) urges workers to refuse to go back to their jobs when the country reopens for business. "One thing I think we have learned from the lockdown is that life can be very comfortable," she observed. "I, for one, have been enjoying the leisure I've gained while sheltering at home. I imagine that the same is true for the vast majority of Americans. The unemployment benefits that congress has approved have actually increased the weekly income for large numbers of those who lost their jobs during the shutdown. In New York, for example, unemployment benefits on...

Since 1995 the United Kingdom and Wales has had five flu seasons that were worse than the current coronavirus outbreak. And yet there were no screaming headlines and no lockdowns. Draconian lockdowns were not considered necessary back then. And the previous flu outbreaks hit children and young adults. Via Andrew Bostom.

... "There was a lot of pressure in pretty much all of these American cities to reopen," said Navarro, whose research was done in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "When they removed those restrictions too soon, then many cities saw a resurgence in cases." The center's research found that cities that used "early, sustained and layered" practices such as social distancing, closing public events and stay-at-home orders "fared better than those that did not." ...
