Just 5.51 minutes long. Tucker hits another one out of the ballpark. Highlights. Fauci : Shaking hands with people is gone for ever because coronavirus. The same Fauci, a week later: It's perfectly fine to meet total strangers on the sex site Tinder and have sex with them. Apparently shaking hands will give you cironavirus, but exchanging bodily fluids in hot sweaty sex won't. The two eminent doctors from California who have worked out that California's coronavirus death rate is 0.03%. They say the economy ruining lockdowns simply don't make sense. Hospitals have been mothballed and staff laid off all...

It is a fact that the Democratic Party has from its inception been committed to the subjugation of human beings they deemed as chattel or insignificant. The Democratic Party Platform in 1840, 1844 and 1848 held that: "All efforts by abolitionists … to interfere with questions of slavery … are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences and … have all inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union." (See: "Democrats and Republicans In Their Own Words.") In colloquial parlance Democrats were arguing that the owning slaves...

There is no evidence that people who contracted COVID-19 and recovered are immune to a second infection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). On today’s Daily Dose, Dr. Michael Wilkes, a professor of medicine and global health at UC Davis, says the announcement could be a game changer during the pandemic. Before the WHO announcement, many health care workers were operating under the assumption that once someone became infected, they developed antibodies that would protect them in the future, Wilkes says. However, WHO didn’t explicitly say these antibodies don’t exist, Wilkes points out. How California has faredA new...

Despite endorsing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) criticized New York's decision to cancel its June presidential primary. The twice-failed presidential contender called the decision "a blow to American democracy." The cancellation, which state officials say is necessary to stem the spread of the coronavirus, would also be a blow to Sanders's influence on the future of the Democratic Party. "What the Board of Elections is ignoring is that the primary process not only leads to a nominee but also the selection of delegates which helps determine the platform and rules of the Democratic Party," Sanders...

Nevada’s Osteopaths filed a lawsuit Tuesday asking Gov. Steve Sisolak and other state officials to lift a ban on the routine prescribing of two anti-malarial drugs to treat COVID-19. “The practice of medicine is a right, and they’ve taken that away, and they’ve given it to the pharmacy board and the governor,” said Reno attorney Joey Gilbert, who filed the suit. “A doctor is in the best position to make that judgment call when a person is in that critical stage of care.” The March 24 regulation involves chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, drugs long in use to treat malaria, lupus and...

I am an immigrant and a naturalized citizen. My parents brought me to the United States of America from war-torn Europe when I was ten years old. My parents and older brother lived through World War II. My father was taken into Germany as slave labor, my mother survived by fleeing her home with my older brother, living in the countryside, hiding with a farm family until the Americans liberated Holland. We came here to be free. My parents lived the American dream, rising from abject poverty to build their own business, free to make their own way and to...

Former Vice President Joe Biden says he is already working with a team to plan for his transition in preparation for winning the White House in November. WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden is already working with a team to plan for his transition in preparation for winning the White House in November, he told donors during a virtual fundraiser Monday night. Biden said he has been meeting with former Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman, his longtime top aide who was appointed to fill Biden’s Senate seat when he was elected vice president, to discuss his transition plans. Kaufman...

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) — A woman who led police on a chase told arresting officers that she was Mother Mary en route to pick up Baby Jesus and had permission from God to speed. WDRB-TV cites an arrest report saying a Kentucky trooper attempted to pull over 52-year-old Connie Allen, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, on Saturday, but she ignored him. A high-speed chase ensued. Another trooper was eventually able to pull in front of Allen, forcing her to stop. He approached her car with his weapon drawn, but she refused to get out and show her hands. The report says she...

*snip* While the country as a whole has successfully flattened the curve, it has yet to show the extended period of decline necessary to declare ourselves out of the woods — a “squashing” of the curve.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin has been blowing the whistle for a while. Now, more Americans are starting to listen. In what is emerging as one of the biggest untold stories of the coronavirus crisis, the media is starting to pay attention to the fact that the carnage of COVID-19 in nursing homes in New York state not only took place on Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s watch but was actually facilitated by an order from his state government. New York, New Jersey, and California all ordered nursing homes to take coronavirus patients, exposing their frail and elderly patients to the...

Not only was the anti-Trump dossier fueled by Russian disinformation, but the FBI knew it was likely tainted at the time the bureau was citing the document to obtain secret spying warrants on a Trump campaign figure, according to information declassified Wednesday from an inspector general’s report. One member of the FBI team investigating the Trump campaign even got information in January 2017 that Russian intelligence “may have targeted Orbis,” the company of Christopher Steele, according to Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz’s report. The FBI learned in February 2017 that Russian intelligence managed to infiltrate a source into...

In a wide-ranging interview with CBS Miami, the presumptive Democratic nominee talked Cuba, Venezuela and immigration as well as President Trump’s response to the coronavirus.

Reade, a former aide for then-Sen. Joe Biden, has accused the presumed Democrat candidate of sexual assault. Evidence has surfaced that appears to bolster Reade’s allegations. In this #MeToo era, Democrat officials could use that accusation to get Uncle Joe to withdraw from the race. Why would that be good for Democrats? Because they know that Biden is a weak candidate who may be suffering cognitive decline and is not likely to beat President Trump in November. The inability of the former vice president to reliably string two sentences together is alarming and will only become more evident as the...

Dozens of oil tankers anchor off the Californian coast near Los Angeles and Long Beach as the reduced demand for oil takes hold. The tankers are acting as storage tanks for oil as demand has reduced throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

In the midst of the 1992 presidential campaign, Steve Kroft talked to then Gov. and Mrs. Clinton about Gennifer Flowers, her allegations, and the state of their marriage.

Sweden's ambassador to the U.S. believes the country's controversial strategy of imposing only limited restrictions — and not locking down the country — is bearing success, with the capital, Stockholm, on course to reach herd immunity in the next few weeks. "About 30% of people in Stockholm have reached a level of immunity," Karin Ulrika Olofsdotter told NPR. "We could reach herd immunity in the capital as early as next month."

Via The Washington Times: A judge in southern Illinois ruled Monday that Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order to stem the spread of the coronavirus exceeds his emergency authority and violates individual civil rights. Pritzker promised “swift” action to overturn the judge’s order, which applies only to Bailey but allows other individuals and groups to challenge the movement restrictions while the highly contagious illness circulates. The ruling came the same day House Republicans attacked Pritzker on another front, renewing demands for details on state prison inmates released early because of COVID-19 fears. Pritzker signed an order earlier this month allowing furloughs...
