My aunt was upset this morning, she says that the media is giving Trump too much credit. She despises the President and says that if Peter Jennings, former ABC anchorman was still alive, the coverage would have been more soothing and she believes that Jennings and ABC would have been more combative towards Trump. My aunt is very anti-Trump. She served in the U.S. Army. Very, very militaristic and angry woman. What do you think?

Malaria drug hydroxychloroquine continues to dominate the headlines after many success stories from doctors in the front line. This evening, a renowned infectious disease specialist Dr. Stephen Smith, said he and his team have treated over the 50 patients with hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Smith is the founder of the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases in New Jersey. Tonight, Dr. Smith shared his findings among COVID-19 patients in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

CNN anchor Don Lemon broke down in tears on Tuesday night while talking about his fellow news anchor and dear friend Chris Cuomo, who had earlier announced that he tested positive for coronavirus... 'That’s my guy,' Lemon said. 'You know that. And so it’s been really tough. I’ve been distracted all night because I’ve been thinking about it. I was really worried about him.'

Thank you to the governors who are meeting this moment with decisive action, a steady hand, and compassionate leadership. Thank you for stepping up when President Trump has not.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 1, 2020

Open letter to Rush Limbaugh: Rush, check the depression at the door and leave it outside in the democrat rain. The shutdown was necessary to give the infection curve a 'flattening'. The self sequestration has worked and supplies are ramped up in the pipeline. We now have a much more robust testing process and a drug regimen has been developed to quickly reduce viral load so a person's immune system can kill this virus. The hydroxychloroquine + Zinc stops virus replication. That same medication will be a powerful tool to allow America to get back to work with a preventative...

Tonight marks our biggest public end-of-quarter deadline of the campaign so far. I know times are tough, but what’s at stake in this election has never been clearer. If you could chip in to help us reach our goal, I would really appreciate it: https://t.co/qRzUR2DdVI— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 31, 2020

We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can't afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall. https://t.co/K8Ucu7iVDK — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 31, 2020

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner made a televised plea to Houston’s criminal population to just chill and take a break from committing crimes until after the COVID-19 crisis had passed.

What can we say other than CNN’s Chris Cillizza is the proud owner of an “America Needs Journalists” sweatshirt and he decided to show it off during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Any FReepers with COVID-19? I’ve heard a couple today. Thought it might be good to have a repository of experiences.

Patrick Rooney of Old School™ comments following the White House Coronavirus news briefing Sunday evening, March 29, 2019.

Just reading the headlines on the Drudge Report is like looking at the Apocalypse Manifesto, supposition, innuendo, rumors, prejudice, sensationalism and scare tacticsThere was a time when Drudge just reported the news, those days are evidently over.— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) March 22, 2020 Drudge Report is terrible, deleted the app, my guess is owned by a country, company or globalist entity that wants America to fall 👎�— RIC (@RICJones001) March 29, 2020 FLASHBACK: Never Trumper Daniel Halper joins Drudge Report as Editor in April 2017 https://t.co/Oab7vaShig— Verdad Teller 🛡♦ (@Truthteller1349) March 29, 2020

On Saturday Venezuelan General Cliver Alcala was in custody in New York City. General Alcalá is the first regime official to be detained by the US authorities. The socialist general will be presented before the federal court for being part of the criminal Venezuelan cartel.

2 overall #1 draft picks who just did not live up to their #1 billing. They should both be entering the prime of their careers. Instead Winston's red flags included a rape allegation and doing a Trump to an uber driver. Never mind the 30 interceptions. Newton seemed to be more of a fashion model than a serious qb. Then there's Michael Vick-don't get me started. I wouldn't have given either of these folks a 2nd chance much less a first. The owners are either intrigued by their abilities or scared to be called racists. The money they threw away...

I publish a health, fitness, and culture blog. These are lifetime passions of mine. Like most people, I have my political opinions, but I try to keep them away from the blog. I want to help everybody who seeks it; and don’t want to alienate people who may not agree with some of my non-related views. But the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed all that. Like it or not, the Coronavirus situation has fused health and politics, due to the massive governmental response necessary to contain the virus. As a natural health and fitness proponent, I feel a need to...

I read it on Newsmax. A real bummer.

THE NUMBERS JUST DON'T ADD UP: Nearly 500,000 Went to Hospital in 2018-19 Flu Season But Today There Are Not Enough Hospital Beds for Coronavirus Patients?
