Happy April Fool's Day. Today it's about fish tank cleaner for chloroquine. But anybody remember about when China was involved with putting anti-freeze into cough syrup? The anti-freeze was diethylene glycol, it was mislabeled TD glycerine, which means 'glycerine substitute'. A Spanish middleman filling the customs declaration changed the name to glycerine. The China Food and Drug Administration did not regard the toxic cough syrup scandal as being China's fault.

Scientists: Astronauts Could Build Moon Base Using Human Urine Need a resilient lunar building material? Urine luck. VICTOR TANGERMANN5 HOURS AGO In cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), a team of European researchers have conducted a… strange experiment. They mixed urea — the main compound found in mammalian urine — with materials, including Moon rocks, to test if we could one day use astronaut pee to build a lunar base. The urea itself acted as a “plasticizer” — stuff that allows us to shape other harder materials into different forms. In their unusual experiment, the team used an analog...

Isn't it time for W to come off the sidelines, forgive the nickname for Jeb! and help Trump manage the politics of the moment, the hatred and vitriol aimed at him by, in some cases former members of his administration? Much like 9/11, this is a moment when the Nation must come together. We already know the left will never relent. Where are you, Mr. President?

It’s just the flu, bro. Herd immunity building way faster than experts predict. Cause of death being falsely attributed to Corona. Civil liberties are being stripped away - especially in Dem states/cities. Number dead will be way under the number dead from flu when this is over.

Ever one to see the humor in even the worst circumstances, I set out to try to lighten hearts with a little COVID-19 humor.I authored these:China got this virus right off the bat.

Billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein may have killed himself in jail due to withdrawal from steroids, a pathologist has claimed. Dr Michael Hunter said Prince Andrew's friend, who died in August awaiting child sex abuse charges, could have been abusing the drug to build muscle and his libido. He said the former financier did not have access to them in New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center and got depressed - showing signs others must have noticed. Epstein, 66, had fatty liver disease, according to his medical records, despite not being an alcoholic or obese. He also had a 'ripped' body for his...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but,...

It is a given in politics that an incumbent has the advantage until things go wrong, at which point the challenger gets an edge. Then why, amidst panic, death and economic shutdown, is Joe Biden looking like the sick man of 2020? **SNIP** So how did the script get flipped, with Trump rising and Biden shrinking? And what can Dems do about it? The first answer is fairly obvious: Trump has outperformed expectations as Biden first disappeared, then reappeared in several dreadful performances. **SNIP** So what can Dems do? Find another nominee. But first, they must bench Biden, or persuade...

China has been promoting bear bile as a coronavirus treatment, upsetting wildlife activists. In a list published earlier this month, China’s National Health Commission recommended a number of treatments for the symptoms of the virus, including both traditional Chinese and Western remedies. The treatment is an injection called Tan Re Qing (TRQ), which is a traditional Chinese medicine formula. In addition to bear bile powder, the injection uses goat horn and dried fruit. The injection can help to alleviate respiratory distress, particularly in cases of pneumonia and bronchitis. One of the major symptoms of the coronavirus is a dry cough...

Where are her gloves?! This blond bombshell straddled the “Charging Bull” statue in the nude Thursday — brazenly ignoring all coronavirus protection measures.

Please check in with your observations about the situation on the ground in China, to the extent you are free to talk without consequences.

David Plouffe, who oversaw Barack Obama’s storied 2008 bid for the White House, says he has an “overarching concern” about Joe Biden’s campaign strategy against a media-savvy incumbent with a large financial advantage. Plouffe said he is particularly alarmed by the former vice president’s failure to leverage social media and dazzling visuals while President Trump dominates headlines during the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s a challenge for Joe Biden,” Plouffe told “Skullduggery” podcast hosts Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman in an interview. “But Trump gets this, and his campaign gets this: It’s blunt force communication. ... What I’m very worried about is...
