Trump to Ask Harvard and Large Businesses Like Shake Shack to Return Money Meant for Small Businesses

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

TheHill.com reports that

President Trump  said Tuesday that he is going to ask large businesses and institutions such as Harvard University to return money that they received as part of a coronavirus relief package. 

“I’m going to request it,” Trump told reporters at the White House, singling out the Ivy League school. “Harvard is going to pay back the money. They shouldn’t be taking it.”

“I’m not going to mention any other names, but when I saw Harvard — they have one of the largest endowments anywhere in the country, maybe in the world. They’re going to pay back the money,” the president added.

The $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package signed into law last month included hundreds of billions of dollars for small businesses impacted by state shutdowns due to the coronavirus while separately allocating billions to support higher education institutions.

Reports surfaced last week that Harvard would receive more than $8 million in funding.

A university spokesman emphasized in an emailed statement Tuesday that Harvard did not receive funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a small-business loan program under the relief package, and that the school is committed to using all of the funds to cover financial assistance to students.

“Like most colleges and universities, Harvard has been allocated funds as part of the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. Harvard has committed that 100% of these emergency higher education funds will be used to provide direct assistance to students facing urgent financial needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Harvard spokesman Jonathan Swain said.

“This financial assistance will be on top of the support the University has already provided to students – including assistance with travel, providing direct aid for living expenses to those with need, and supporting students’ transition to online education,” Swain added.

Trump’s remarks Tuesday came after he was asked about money issued through the PPP, which has come under scrutiny amid revelations that major restaurant chains, hotels and other big businesses were able to tap into funds meant for businesses with fewer than 500 employees.

The small-business loan program, initially funded at $350 billion, ran out of money last week. The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill to replenish the program’s coffers.

Asked later in the briefing if he was confident he would be successful in asking Harvard to return the money, Trump said that if the university “won’t do that, then we won’t do something else.” The president also noted the size of the university’s $40 billion endowment.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters at Tuesday’s briefing that the Treasury Department would be issuing guidance on the certification that businesses need to meet in order to qualify for the PPP loans. 

Shake Shack, a major burger chain, announced Monday it would return $10 million it received through the program.

“We have over a million companies that have received this with less than 10 workers. There is very broad participation in really small business. I will comment there have been some big businesses that have taken these loans. I was pleased to see that Shake Shack returned the money,” Mnuchin said. “The intent of this was not for big public companies that have access to capital.”

Mnuchin also said he wanted to give companies the “benefit of the doubt” by assuming they didn’t understand the requirements but warned of consequences for large businesses that take advantage of the program.

Asked to expand on what those consequences could be, Mnuchin did not provide any specifics.

“We’re going to put up very clear guidance so that people understand what the certification is, what it means if you are a big company,” Mnuchin said.

Some have called for reform to the program, run by the Small Business Administration, in order to ensure that the funds go to small businesses in need.

The Senate on Tuesday afternoon passed legislation allocating more than $300 billion more for the lending program. Trump has endorsed the legislation, which was the product of negotiations between the White House and Congress, and Mnuchin said he expects the House to pass it on Wednesday.

An article like this simply proves that the Deep State continues to exist within the Trump Administration.

How else do you explain how federal funds which are supposed to go to small businesses with under 500 employees, instead wind up I the coffers of a huge business like Shake Shack and the Wealthiest University in the whole Ivy League, Harvard?

Somebody had to be pulling some serious strings to funnel that money to Harvard, one of the most Liberal Schools of Thought in America.

I am glad to see that the President is going t trying to get the funds to the people who they were meant for.

Meanwhile the Senate has passed a bill allotting $300 billion more for small businesses, which will be voted on in the House of Representatives today.

I wonder what sort of “add-ons” are going to find their way into the bill while it is in the House?

Federal funding for Cross-dresser College?

Another attempt to fund abortions at Planned Parenthood?

Money for another ice cream freezer for Nancy Pelosi?

I am just kidding about two of those.

Although, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow House Democrat have already shown American what their priorities are by leaving town before they passed these additional funds so desperately needed by America’s mall businesses.

It is an understatement to say that the Democrats’ priorities are not the same as those of average Americans.

The great disconnect between Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democratic Party Politicians and average Americas is plainly visible for the entire free world to see.

Pelosi’s ice cream freezer interview with James Corden will probably go down as the biggest unforced, tone-deaf political mistake in American History.

Hopefully, the federal funds from this bill, which the House is supposed to pass today will find their way to America’s small business owners.

The Democrats are making their own political mistakes.

There does not need to be any made on behalf of the Trump Administration by Deep State Bureaucrats in regards to the recipients of this round of taxpayer money.

Trump to Sign EO “to Temporarily Suspend Immigration into the United States” to Further Fight COVID-19 and Boost the Economy

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

1800x1200_coronavirus_1

“Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the U.S. would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants, non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions that he may deem to be appropriate,”- 8 U.S. Code § 1182 

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump announced late Monday he will soon sign an executive order “to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States” in a drastic escalation of his efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic and boost the economy.

The declaration came hours after U.S. equity markets crashed, with oil prices turning negative for the first time in history. Also on Monday, three states — Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina — revealed plans to begin reopening some businesses.

“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” the president tweeted.

The precise contours of the president’s planned executive order were not immediately clear. The U.S. recently agreed with both Canada and Mexico to extend border restrictions on nonessential travel for another 30 days, through May 16 and May 19, respectively.

And, the president already has blocked most travel from other hotspots, including most of Europe, Iran, South Korea, and China.

However, people with temporary work visas, students and business travelers were exempted, along with emergency personnel.

On Monday, the U.S. government said it will continue to quickly expel migrants it encounters along the border with Mexico for at least another month in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Under the U.S. policy change spurred by the virus, the U.S. government has sent some 10,000 Mexicans and Central Americans back to Mexico, according to data from the U.S.Border Patrol.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says that more than 100 migrants at 25 detention centers have tested positive for COVID-19. Guatemala claims that 44 migrants deported from the U.S. tested positive.

Monday’s immigration suspension was sure to draw fire from Democrats. On Jan. 31 Trump issued the “Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus,” blocking most travel from China — and at the time, Democrats harshly criticized the move.

Within hours, Joe Biden campaigned in Iowa and told the crowd that Americans “need to have a president who they can trust what he says about it, that he is going to act rationally about it. … This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

Months later, Biden said he supported China travel ban.

President Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do I he was elected Presidet: he is putting America FIRST.

His job as president is to protect American citizens from enemies foreign and domestic.

By suspending immigration to our Sovereign nation, he is protecting us from those who, intentionally or unintentionally, might bring the Chinese Coronavirus to America with them.

He is also protecting American jobs from an influx of foreign workers.

There is nothing xenophobic or hysterical about protecting America from a disease which has already killed over 40,000 of our citizens.

Immigration bans are nothing new.

The Immigration Act of 1924 was passed because America had experienced an overwhelming flood of immigrants, which strained the resources of our nation.

This act allowed all of these immigrants to be assimilated into American Society and to actually become Americans, in thought, word, deed, and LOYALTY.

Ad, in April of 1980, during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Liberal President Jimmy Carter stopped Iranians from immigrating, because, just like the situation we faced today with Radical Islam, we were AT WAR.

Today, we are at war, again.

This time, as President Trump says, we are at war with an invisible enemy, one which does not differentiate between man and woman or adult and child.

COVID-19 knows no race or sexual orientation.

For the safety of our Sovereign Nation and the stability of our economy, President Trump must temporarily suspend immigration.

And, by his political response to an situation which endangers ALL Americans, Joe Biden has provided another reason why his is not capable of handling the job of being President of the United Stated of America.

Trump Tells Belligerent CNN Reporter, “You Don’t Have the Brains You Were Born With”…#TRUTH

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

EWAA0qlXYAIjIVn

https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/1252063692981764096

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump announced Sunday evening that the United States had passed a major coronavirus testing milestone, telling reporters that 4.18 million Americans have now been screened — more than France, the U.K., South Korea, Japan, Singapore, India, Austria, Australia, Sweden and Canada combined.

Speaking at the daily White House coronavirus briefing, the president unboxed a swab testing kit and touted the new testing technologies that could fight the pandemic, even as he cautioned that some states “don’t know where they are.”

Trump then read at length from a piece in The Wall Street Journal praising him for implementing new partnerships with the private sector, and “vivifying the American way in action, once reluctantly aroused.”

“It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused,” Trump commented.

Faced with criticisms that he had idled while the coronavirus spread, the president pointed out that Fox News’ Bret Baier observed that Democrats’ February 19 presidential debate had not mentioned coronavirus at all. Rhetoric on coronavirus from Democrats, Republicans, and the media has changed dramatically since January.

At the same time, Trump said Republicans were having “very good negotiations” with Democrats on expanding funding under the Paycheck Protection Program [PPP], and could have an agreement as soon as Monday. The stimulus legislation established a $350 billion fund for small businesses that was depleted last Thursday.

“We’re looking to help hospitals, rural hospitals as part of the package,” Trump said. “We could have an answer tomorrow.”

Democrats have held up the passage of new funds for small businesses. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., justified the delay on Sunday by saying she wanted more funding for testing and hospitals — uncontroversial demands that even left-of-center commentators have pointed out that Republicans never opposed.

..During the briefing, Trump went on to tout what he called “bipartisan” efforts that have succeeded in blunting coronavirus deaths in the country — as well as his Jan. 31 decision to block most travel from China, which Democrats, journalists, and some experts opposed at the time.

“We would’ve had millions of deaths,” Trump said. “It looks like we’ll be about a 60,000 mark, which is 40,000 less than the lowest number thought of.”

In a testy moment, CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang repeatedly interrupted the president and argued that he had implemented his Jan. 31 travel ban on China too late. Trump moved on from the question after the reporter admitted she didn’t know how many coronavirus deaths had occurred in the U.S. at the time of the ban. (The answer is zero.)

Another reporter then asked about Trump supporters toting Nazi flags, in an apparent reference to a recently debunked viral photograph. Queried separately about the news that his former adviser Roger Stone may soon head to prison, Trump slammed what he called “human scum” at the FBI who repeatedly violated surveillance rules to monitor his campaign and pursue criminal charges.

“You people are so pathetic at CNN,” Trump said, after reporter Jeremy Diamond pushed Trump on his previous praise for China’s president amid the coronavirus outbreak, shortly after the U.S. inked a major trade deal with the country. “That’s why your ratings are so bad. You’re pathetic. Your ratings are terrible. You’ve got to get back to real news!”

These past three plus years, the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, has proven that he is unlike any president that anyone can remember.

Sure, there are comparisons to the great Ronald Reagan, whom I helped elect in 1980 by casting my very first vote as an American adult.

Just like Trump, Ronaldus Magnus got his zingers in on the Democratic opposition and the Press.

However, that was 40 years ago and things have changed.

Technology has made great strides in the field of communication.

Now, almost every American is walking around with a personal computer in their pocket which we refer to as our “phone”.

The old media, the daily newspaper, is dying out, replaced by the new or “social” media, which Americans access several times during their usual day.

The Main Stream Media, especially the cable news channels, have found themselves competing with “citizen reporters” like myself and my fellow writers at http://www.spartareport.com and other websites, Twitter, and Instagram who utilize the new media to present their views about issues and events which are important to average Americans.

Besides the fact that everyone has an opinion and a cell phone, the other factor driving this phenomenon has been the death of objectivity in the Main Stream Media and the role which they have taken as the Vanguard, Propagandists, and Protectors of the Far Left Democratic Party and their national political figures.

Hence, the repeated attacks on President Trump since he announced his candidacy before the 2016 Presidential Election…attacks which have continued through his presidency, as exhibited every day through the crude disrespectful behavior toward the President by MSM Reporters in the Daily Coronavirus Task Force Briefings.

The problem that the reporters are not dealing with very well is the fact that THIS president fights back.

And, in a battle of wits with President Trump, they are woefully overmatched and wind up getting embarrassed.

Or, as President Trump told Jeremy Diamond of CNN, after the reporter insulted him,

“You don’t have the brains you were born with.”

“Marie Antoinette” Pelosi on Americans Pushing Back Against Overstepping Governors: “It’s Really Unfortunate”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

nancy-pelosi-eating-ice-cream

FoxNews.com reports that

In her first interview on “Fox News Sunday” since 2017, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke to anchor Chris Wallace about the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on Americans.

“People are taking to the streets, pushing back against some of the more stringent restrictions in some states,” Wallace said during the interview, which is set to air Sunday on Fox News Channel. “Can you understand why they’re doing that?”

Pelosi responded: “No, not, not really because what we have to do is, is, is shelter in place. That is really the answer.”

“Testing. Tracing. Treatment. Shelter in place. And I do think that it’s unfortunate,” Pelosi told Wallace. “But, you know, people will do what they do. But the fact is, we’re all impatient. We all want out. But what they’re doing is really unfortunate.”

Around 22 million people filed for unemployment over the past month. Only essential businesses have remained open and operational during the various stay-at-home orders across the country, leaving many without work.

Protests have taken place across the U.S. the past week and on Saturday, with residents in several states calling for an end to respective stay-at-home orders.

“Really Unfortunate”.

Translation: “How dare the peasants revolt! They are interrupting my vacation and my time with my precious ice cream!”

In case you didn’t hear, Pelosi has announced that she will not be returning to Capitol Hill until May 1st.

The word “delusional” does not even begin to cover San Fran Nan’s s Superiority Complex and her tone-deafness when it comes to average Americans’ wishes.

Nancy Pelosi’s station in life defies logic.

As she has shown us for decades and this week especially, she has to be the most tone deaf aristocrat since Marie Antoinette, who, when supposedly asked about the starving rabble in France, quipped,

Let them eat cake!

For her to completely brush off the plight of America’s small business owners and employees and the overstepping of authority by Democratic Governors which has brought about these protests, does not just “strain” credulity…it stomps that sucker flat.

There are two possibilities for Pelosi’s miss judgment of the American People:

  1. She has been so sheltered from us “rabble” during all of those years up on Capitol Hill, that she simply is clueless to the daily lives of average Americans and how we feel on the issues of the day. Or…
  2. She, like the future Presidential Candidate of her political Party, Joe Biden, is a victim of galloping dementia.

The brilliant Conservative Economist, Dr. Thomas Sowell once wrote,

…Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the world envisioned by today’s liberals is that it is a world where other people just passively accept whatever “change” liberals impose. In the world of Liberal Land, you can just take for granted all the benefits of the existing society, and then simply tack on your new, wonderful ideas that will make things better.

Pelosi and her compatriots are holding up giving additional money to America’s small businesses to leverage for add-ons to the bill which will strictly be political pork to the Democrats’ handpicked special interest groups and these add-ons will have nothing to do with the Chinese Coronavirus.

Like the money they added to the Stimulus Package for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Liberal Ideas always cost taxpayer money…and they never make things better for the average American.

President Ronald Reagan once famously said,

It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.

A quotation which also helps to explain Pelosi’s gross overestimation of the popularity of Liberal Ideals among Average Americans here in “Flyover Country”.

Pelosi’s continued denial of the fact that Americans rejected the political ideology of the Democrats and voted for change in the 2016 Presidential Election appears to be a part of an alternative reality that she and the rest of the “Special Snowflakes” who voted for Hillary Clinton and who compose the Far Left Base of the Modern Democratic Party, have transformed themselves into, considering all they have done during the past almost 3 and I/2 years since the election is to try to damage President Donald J. Trump and remove him from office by any means necessary.

The pain of their frustration is so immense over Clinton’s loss that they have created a reality in which Clinton actually beat Trump, one in which their embracing of the tenets of Marxism has won the hearts and minds of the American People.

Their undersized medulla oblongotas and oversized craniums will not allow them to accept the fact that Americans completely rejected their candidate, Hillary Clinton, and their Political Ideology on that fateful day in November.

So, they have retreated to that alternative reality, where they can feed and ride their unicorns somewhere over the rainbow and where they will find rest in their “Safe Space”.

And, if “Marie Antoinette” Pelosi and all of her cronies want to remain “sheltered in place”, let them stay there.

Average Americans want to get back to their jobs so that they can provide for their families.

Average Americans’ individual freedom means more to them than Pelosi’s room-sized freezer full of ice cream means to her.

The time to “Reopen America’s Economy Again” is at hand.

Her and her fellow members of the Democratic Elite can either help or shut up and get out of the way.

Trump Trolls Dems with “Liberate” Tweets and Dem Governors Start Moving Toward Reopening States

On By kingsjesterIn Politics2 Comments

Michigan-Stay-At-Home-Order-Prompts-Honking-Traffic-Jam-Protest--835293251-1586991613

Stop and think about it. You’re part of an economic rebirth, a roaring economic period of three years. Record number of jobs. Wages are on the way up.New careers are being created and sought by the week, by the day. The economic opportunity in America is bursting. It was only three, five, seven years ago the American people were told not to expect this kind of thing anymore because the world economy had changed so that, “Eh, better get used to an America in decline rather than an America where high expectations dictate.”

And along comes Donald Trump blows that away. And then one day after three years of being part of this economic rebirth — if you wanted to be, if you wanted to be out there working and advancing your career. Then one day, for apparently valid reasons, we are told, “You can’t go to work today. Your business is not allowed to open today.

“Your recreational opportunities are taken away from you. You’re not allowed to leave your house for any reason, under penalty of who knows what,” and we’re into what, week five? How long has this shutdown been going on? Week five, week six, whatever it is — and it’s the most abnormal state for normal people to be involved in.

It was unsustainable. It can’t go on. It could not go on. And the first chance that people had to follow, they would do it. They just needed a little leadership on the reopen side. Just need a little leadership — leadership and a plan, a plan of how we’re gonna do it. Try to maintain as much safety as possible, dip our toes in the water.

All it took was somebody making the first move, and then here come a bunch of people willing to follow, and then more people willing to lead. So this is going to feed off of itself. – Rush Limbaugh, 4/17/20

In a related story, FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump sparked uproar on Twitter Friday with a series of tweets encouraging followers to “liberate” amid a growing movement of protests across the country to demand governors reopen “non-essential businesses” and send people back to work.

The three states Trump tweeted about — Virginia, Michigan and Minnesota — are run by Democratic governors and critics have responded by calling to “liberate America” from the president.

The protests — mainly led by conservative supporters of Trump – are a controversial part of a growing effort to turn around an economy that has been hurt in recent weeks because of the pandemic.

A small group of protesters gathered in Virginia’s Capitol Square in Richmond on Thursday to voice their displeasure with the state’s move to extend the state’s lockdown orders. Larger protests have occurred in Michigan and an event was scheduled for Friday in Minnesota – and the president has apparently taken notice and took to Twitter to express support.

On Wednesday, hundreds of cars, trucks and SUVs descended on Michigan’s state capital for “Operation Gridlock” as part of a noisy protest against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s social-distancing restrictions that critics say have gone too far.

“Minnesota citizens now is the time to demand Governor Walz and our state legislators end this lock down!” the description of a Facebook event titled “Liberate Minnesota” scheduled for noon on Friday reads. “Minnesota’s economy must be reopened for business or destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Minnesota citizens and their families may result if we don’t act quickly!”

Trump’s tweet caused the word “liberate” to quickly become a top trend on social media, with people from both sides of the political spectrum chiming in — but outspoken liberals were particularly vocal.

Later yesterday, per FoxNews.com…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz eased some restrictions on outdoor recreation due to the COVID-19 shutdown Friday – the same day protesters rallied outside his residence demanding an end to stay-at-home orders.

Bait shops, outdoor shooting ranges, game farms, public and private parks and trails, golf courses, driving ranges and marina services can reopen Saturday morning under the new executive order.

Campgrounds and retail stores that sell equipment for outdoor activities must remain closed along with charter boats and recreational equipment rentals.

“It’s important for us to stay active and enjoy the outdoors while preventing the spread of COVID-19,” Walz said in a press release. “This measure will allow Minnesotans to take advantage of more opportunities to get outside, while still doing their part to keep their neighbors healthy.”

The governor is urging people who do go outside for recreation do so near their homes, especially in rural communities where hospitals have fewer resources and ventilators.

And he said residents should continue to maintain social distancing guidelines and avoid crowded areas to minimize the spread of the coronavirus.

Despite those guidelines, hundreds of people gathered in St. Paul demanding an end to the stay-at-home orders to “Liberate Minnesota” outside Walz’s official residence Friday, according to local news reports.

At least 400 protesters honked horns, waved American flags and donned Trump 2020 gear. Outside in the sun, the protestors held signs reading “Stop the Shutdown,” “We do not consent” and “Walz is the virus,” according to reports from KMSP-TV/FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Images from the protests show demonstrators ignoring COVID-19 precautions like face masks while waving Trump flags and wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.

Also yesterday, news came that Michigan’s Governor Whitler…err…Whitmer was going to begin reopening Michigan’s Economy on May 1.

So, did President Trunp’s “Liberate” tweets put pressure of the Democratic Governors that he aimed them at?

Does Nancy Pelosi have way too much ice cream?

President Trump has always been a master of using Twitter to reach out directly to the American people to get his point across unfiltered by the biased Main Stream Media.

He also takes delight in “trolling” the Main Stream Media and their masters, the Democratic Party, through its use.

In this instance, as he tries to restore America’s Economy as we seem to be coming out from under the Chinese Coronavirus, or COVID-19 for the politically correct, it was his way of supporting average Americans attempting to regain their right of freedom to live their lives as American citizens.

It was also his way of telling those Democratic Governors whose cages he rattled that they had overstepped their bounds.

It has been very obvious for a long time to us “Deplorables”, otherwise known as average Americans living between the coasts, that if you give Modern Democrat Politicians an inch they will take a mile…and in the case of several Democratic Governors, they used the opportunity to put rules into place that had nothing to do with the Chinese Coronavirus, such as only allowing kayaks on lakes.

It’s true.

What the President did yesterday with Twitter was a modern day version of the boy who pointed out to the crowd that the Emperor had no clothes.

And, it worked.

Trump Announces Plan to Reopen America, Pelosi Shows America Her Huge, Expensive Refrigerator Full of Gourmet Ice Cream

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump announced on Thursday the White House’s plan for eventually rolling back social distancing measures and reopening the country’s economy in several phases — depending on location — amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan calls for three phases to reopening the country, based on the severity of the coronavirus outbreak in each individual state or region.

“We can begin the next front in our war, which we are calling ‘Opening Up America Again,'” Trump said during a press briefing at the White House. “To preserve the health of Americans, we must preserve the health of our economy.”

The plan, which Trump announced along with the formation of a bipartisan council of lawmakers from both chambers of Congress, outlines “recommendations” for governors to develop their own plans to reopen. It also includes a number of criteria that must be met in terms of numbers of infections and hospitalizations before they can open up.

White House guidelines for … by Fox News on Scribd
The “Opening Up America Again” plan was signed off on by the president’s medical advisers, Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield, and will be a “data-driven” approach with governors taking the helm in deciding, down to a county-level, how they will reopen their states, the White House said.

“We are not opening all at once, but one careful step at a time,” Trump said, adding that the guidelines were “based on hard verifiable data.”

He added: “Some states will be able to open up sooner than others.”

“Phase One” is for areas of the country who solely satisfy the criteria laid out by the White House and calls for social distancing to remain in place, avoiding gathering of more than 10 people, and avoiding any unnecessary travel.

“Phase Two,” which is for regions that have met the criteria twice and have not seen “a rebound” in infections, still calls for residents to practice social distancing and try to avoid large gathering but opens up the possibility of resuming non-essential travel.

The third phase, which is for areas who have met the criteria three times and have no rebounds of the virus, is the most open and allows vulnerable parts of the population to go back in public, opening back up gyms and bars, resuming full-time staffing at worksites and letting people head back to large venues like restaurants, movie theaters, churches and sports venues – albeit at a reduced capacity.

“This is a gradual process,” Trump said. “Throughout the process, citizens will still be called on to use all the weapons in this war.”

Trump said he’s spoken to governors of some western states who said they already have met the criteria in “Phase One.” The president, however, did not specify which states were set to open back up.

“I heard from a number who said they are in very good shape,” he said. “They will be ready to open literally tomorrow.”

Democrats’ reactions were mixed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement, “The White House’s vague and inconsistent document does nothing to make up for the president’s failure to listen to the scientists and produce and distribute national rapid testing.” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said, “I am pleased to see the federal government’s guidance follows a data-driven, science-based approach, similar to Oregon’s framework.”

The White House guidelines come amid a tempestuous week in which protestors across the country descended on state capitals to express their anger over the effects the lockdown measures were having on the economy despite thousands of new cases of COVID-19 being reported every day.

While President Donald J. Trump is trying to get Americans working again, what are the Democrats doing?

Well, while the Democratic Governors in the North are attempting their impersonations of a Medieval King or Queen, Nancy Pelosi is doing her impression of Marie Antoinette.

Per House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Pelosi is holding up replenishing the Small Business Administration’s now-empty fund for loans to small businesses facing closure because of the Chinese Conoravirus Pandemic.

We now ran out of money, $350 billion. More than 1.6 million small businesses out of 5,000 banks got this loan. But as of today, we ran out of money and now we are in jeopardy of all the other loans that are in there because we requested last week to move it,” McCarthy continued. “Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said no.

“She is the only thing holding it up. She sent an individual to the floor of the Senate to object,” he added. “Had they not objected, this would have passed [with] unanimous consent. The Democrats are objecting.

“Now we are up to 22 million Americans [unemployed] and Nancy Pelosi is spending the time behind a very expensive refrigerator bragging about her gourmet ice cream.”

Rep. McCarthy is referring to a segment on last Monday Night’s “Late, Late Show” with James Corden. Here it is for your viewing displeasure.

I combined these two stories to provide a stark contrast of two American “Leaders”

President Trump is working day and night to try to get America’s Economy functioning again so Americans can feed their families and pay their bills.

Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi is showing off her enormous freezer with all sorts od decadent ice cream and gelato, safe within her walled mansion in San Francisco, California, where the homeless defecate of the streets, oblivious to all of the Americans who are out of work and the business owners who have had to lay them off and who now may have to close the doors of their businesses for good.

President Trump needs to call Congress back in session immediately and make them do the jobs which they were elected to do.

Liberals have been reminding everyone lately that America does not have a King.

They are exactly right.

However, we do have an Aristocracy…a Democratic one.

Increasing Evidence Coronavirus Started as a “Mistake” in a Wuhan Virology Lab…Pompeo Tells Chinese Gov’t to “Come Clean”

…You know, we have not taught communism properly in the schools in this country for at least 30 years, since the 1980s. And we have to consider that Xi Jinping and the ChiCom Politburo came up with a way to share the effects of this virus with everybody else in the world to make sure they were not the only ones damaged by it.

…In other words, these are communists. They treat their own citizens horribly. They don’t care. If something like this is gonna wreck them, then they’re gonna make sure they’re not the only ones that suffer, either reputational damage — they don’t want it thought that these viruses emanate, originate in China. They don’t want that. And they don’t want any economic damage. So it’s a fascinating theory.  – Rush Limbaugh, 4/15/20

EXCLUSIVE: There is increasing confidence that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China’s effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China’s government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.

This may be the “costliest government coverup of all time,” one of the sources said.

The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that “patient zero” worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.

The “increasing confidence” comes from classified and open-source documents and evidence, the sources said. Fox  News has requested to see the evidence directly.

Asked by Fox News’ John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday’s coronavirus press briefing, “More and more we’re hearing the story…we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.”

Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment. The Wuhan wet market initially identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats, and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country’s propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.

U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Responding to the report, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday afternoon: “It should be no surprise to you that we have taken a keen interest in that and we’ve had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that. I would just say at this point, it’s inconclusive, although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural, but we don’t know for certain.”

“Even today, I see them withholding information and I think we need to do more to continue to press them to share,” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday, referring to China. Esper added that he wouldn’t speak to “intelligence reporting,” but that “most people believe it began naturally — it was organic, if you will. I think in due course, once we get through the pandemic we’re in right now, there’ll be time to look back and really ascertain what happened and make sure we have a better understanding so we can prevent this in the future.”

Speaking to “The Story” Wednesday evening, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo remarked: “What we do know is we know that this virus originated in Wuhan, China. We know there is the Wuhan Institute of Virology just a handful of miles away from where the wet market was. There is still lots to learn. You should know that the United States government is working diligently to figure it out.”

Concerning the State Department cables warning about the Wuhan laboratory, Pompeo said the installation “contained highly contagious materials — we knew that, we knew that they were working on this program, many countries have programs like this. In countries that are open and transparent, they have the ability to control them and keep them safe, and they allow outside observers in to make sure all the processes and procedures are right. I only wish that that had happened in this place.”

Americans were originally helping train the Chinese in a program called PREVENT well before the Chinese started working on this virus. The French government helped the Chinese set up the Wuhan lab.

China “100 percent” suppressed data and changed data, the sources tell Fox News. Samples were destroyed,  contaminated areas scrubbed, some early reports erased, and academic articles stifled. 

The above article from Fox News goes on to say that, according to sources, the WHO was complicit in China’s cover-up from the beginning.

Gee, DiNozzo…ya think?

In an article from February 20th posted on qz.com by Jan Li, its Chinese Tech Reporter, she states that

The institute first rejected speculation that the first patient to be infected  with the virus was a graduate student who studied at the lab, saying on Sunday (Feb. 16) the student is in good health. Yesterday (Feb. 19), it issued a strong worded statement (link in Chinese), saying the rumors about it have “hurt the feelings of its frontline researchers hugely”  and “severely interfered” with its task to study viruses. “We have nothing to hide,” the letter read.Nonetheless, internet users don’t appear to be convinced by the assurances from the lab. “What is the truth? The collapse of trustworthiness of media and government is not only sad for the two parties, but also for us citizens,” said a user on Weibo commenting on the rumors. “Some might think the so-called rumors are just a prophecy ahead of our times,” said another.

Some “rumors” from the early days of the epidemic after all turned out not to be far from reality. Li Wenliang, a doctor, had told others about a cluster of cases of viral pneumonia before the outbreak had been made public, but was summoned by Wuhan police for “spreading rumors.” He later became infected himself, and his death turned him into a vivid symbol of the costs of the government’s opacity—prompting an outpouring of anger and grief, and rare public demands for freedom of speech and transparency from the government.

The Chinese people themselves knew that their Communist Government Officials were lying about the origin of the Coronavirus.

Unfortunately, the Chinese Communists are famous for making people “disappear”.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for the Chinese Government to “come clean” as to the true origins of the Coronavirus Pandemic which has been so costly to our country.

I know that Secretary Pompeo already knows that they have no intention of doing so.

They lie to their own citizens. In fact, they have been lying to the world for years.

And, that includes America, as noted by the way they played President Trump’s predecessor like Charlie Daniels plays a fiddle.

But, I digress…

Just as we may never know the true origins of the Chinese Coronavirus Outbreak, we also will never have an accurate count as to how many Chinese citizens died because of it.

Evidently, the tyrants in the Chinese Government believe that telling the truth will weaken their power regarding their political stature in the World.

News Flash, Xi and company, the Coronavirus and your lying about its origins and its danger to the world, already has.

And, it is time that you bear full responsibility for it.

Until He Comes,

House Members Author Resolution to Remind Trump of the Limits of His Power…Why are They Scared of Ending the Shutdown?

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

02-econo-shutdown-li-600

There’s nothing like a crisis to bring clarity. The response of some mayors and governors to the coronavirus pandemic in recent days has made it clear they think they have unlimited and arbitrary power over their fellow citizens, that they can order them to do or not do just about anything under the guise of protecting public health.

We’ve now witnessed local and state governments issue decrees about what people can and cannot buy in stores, arrest parents playing with their children in public parks, yank people off public buses at random, remove basketball rims along with private property, ticket churchgoers, and in one case try—and fail—to chase down a lone runner on an empty beach. All of this, we’re told, is for our own good. – John Daniel Davision, TheFederalist.com, 4/13/2020

FoxNews.com reports that

A group of House members authored a new one-sentence resolution to remind President Trump of the limits on his power and challenged anyone in the House to vote against it.

Reps. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., Dean Phillips, D-Minn., and Justin Amash, I-Mich., sponsored the resolution that “affirms when someone is the president of the United States, their authority is not total.”

Malinowski tweeted that since House business can only pass unanimously until all members return to Washington, “I’m curious if anyone will object.”

Amash, a former Republican who is “closely” looking at a third-party run for office, said even the national emergency of the coronavirus pandemic doesn’t give Trump “magical” powers.

The House effort comes after Trump declared Monday in a White House briefing that he alone has the power to reopen schools, businesses and the economy because the president has full power.

“When somebody’s president of the United States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s got to to be. It’s total. It’s total, and the governors know that,” Trump said.

Trump’s declaration was met by wide rebuke especially since it was governors who issued stay-at-home orders and states enjoy powers through the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Not to mention that the federal government’s authority is divided among the executive, legislative and judicial branches.

Even Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., tweeted out disapproval for Trump’s assertion of “total” power.

Governors, meanwhile, are working together to develop their own regional plans to reopen their states from weekslong closures of restaurants, schools and businesses — arguing they have the authority to make the call.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN on Tuesday that if Trump ordered states to reopen before he is ready to do so, he would defy the order and fight the administration in court.

“We don’t have a king in this country,” Cuomo said. “We didn’t want a king, so we have a Constitution and we elect a president.”

Per the Congressional Research Service,

The President of the United States has available certain powers that may be exercised in the event that the nation is threatened by crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances (other than natural disasters, war, or near-war situations). Such powers may be stated explicitly or implied by the Constitution, assumed by the Chief Executive to be permissible constitutionally, or inferred from or specified by statute.

What Governor Cuomo said is exactly right, believe it or not.

We do not have a king.

However, we are a country of UNITED states, not individual kingdoms.

The towns, cities and states, which seem to be majority Democrat-governed, who have gone overboard in restricting liberty during the Chinese Coronavirus must have someone over them so that they may be held responsible for their actions.

For example, in Greenville, MS, the mayor had the police place citations on the car windows of those Christians who attended a Drive-in Church Service on Easter Sunday morning. This caught the attention of Attorney General William Barr, who is siding with the churchgoers and is looking in to the situation.

I believe that what the President was doing, in his own inimitable way, was purposefully calling attention to these “kingdoms” which have sprung up across the country in order to emphasis the need to get Americans back to work as quickly and safely as possible in the most effective way that we can.

His plan for a committee of “experts” in their fields of endeavors to meet and to come up with a plan is hardly dictatorial or kingly. It’s a CEO, or in this case, a President, calling on the brightest minds, with knowledge of the real world and not just academia, available to come up with a solution to get the engine of Capitalism running again.

Please take note of those who are throwing a fit about what Trump said on Monday evening.

Isn’t it funny how some politicians, especially Democrats, who have never had any use for the Constitution before, always bring it up when their scheme which would harm our country are found out?

It is nice to know that we can count on the Democrats for something, even if it’s just their out-of-control Trump Derangement Syndrome.

MSM Has Meltdown Over Trump Showing Video Spotlighting Their Hypocrisy During Coronovirus Press Briefing

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Virus Outbreak Trump, Washington, United States - 13 Apr 2020

 

Dear Mr. President, the press conference today was an absolute stunner. Americans would love to watch one of these video compilations of media lemmings following each other off the cliff of mendacity every single day. Let them be hoisted by their own petard. It’s a joy to behold. – James Wood, Twitter 4/13/20

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump sparked plenty of reactions at Monday’s coronavirus briefing with a rare video presentation featuring members of the media downplaying the outbreak leading up to the national crisis.

Trump, who repeatedly has defended his handling of the pandemic, showed a montage of the media’s initial takes on the coronavirus outbreak, featuring clips from ABC News, NBC News and CBS News journalists and commentators expressing more concern about the flu than the disease that was plaguing China at the time.

The montage boasted the “decisive action” the president took with a timeline featuring his founding of the coronavirus task force, the travel restrictions on China and Trump’s call to “accelerate” development for a vaccine for the virus in early March.

He then highlighted criticism he received from former Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., by playing an audio clip from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who acknowledged that it was “probably effective.” Haberman later tweeted that the audio was “misleading.”

That was followed by public remarks made by several governors, including Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y. and Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., all praising the Trump administration’s response to their states’ needs.

“We could give you hundreds of clips just like that. We have them,” Trump told reporters after the video finished. “It’s very sad when people write false stories.”

He later added, “We did all of this work, but when you read the phony stories, nobody acknowledges this. And, it doesn’t have to be acknowledged from my standpoint, but it does have to be acknowledged from the great work that these doctors, nurses, the army corps of engineers, all of these people [do]. They’ve done this incredible job and they shouldn’t be abused.”

ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Trump who produced the video, which Karl described as something like a “campaign ad.” The president credited a “group in the office” headed by White House social media director Dan Scavino.

“Why did you feel the need to do that?” Karl asked.

“We’re getting fake news and I would like to have it corrected,” Trump responded, later saying, “I don’t mind being criticized, but not when they’re wrong.”

Both CNN and MSNBC cut out of the briefing as the montage was underway but returned moments later. CNN, however, offered several editorialized graphics during the briefing including, “Angry Trump turns briefing into propaganda session,” “Trump uses task force briefing to try and rewrite history on coronavirus response,” and “Trump melts down in angry response to reports he ignored virus warnings.”

Many members of the media took to social media to criticize the president.
“WH just played what appeared to be a campaign video defending Trump. In the briefing room. Just like a rally,” CNN reporter Jim Acosta reacted.

“I’ve defended broadcasting Trump’s pressers but there is literally no reason to broadcast a propaganda ad. It’s absurd,” MSNBC commentator Sam Stein tweeted.

“I stood behind that podium for two years and never engaged in anything close to what we saw today. This is North Korea type propaganda. We have a President who cares only about himself and not about Americans,” former Clinton press secretary-turned-CNN analyst Joe Lockhart wrote.

“The fact that we have to debate whether or not to air a propaganda and disinformation briefing says a lot about why America was uniquely poorly suited to handle this pandemic in the first place,” former Obama adviser and MSNBC analyst Ben Rhodes wrote.

Others praised the president for showing aggression toward the hostile media.
“President of the United States to media gnat: ‘Enough.’ Life is beautiful,” actor James Woods reacted.

“The White House press corps are literally melting down right now after @realDonaldTrump is calling them out. It’s pretty bizarre to listen to. Good for the President on this. These media members have a tendency to take sides while pretending to be reporters,” radio host Jason Rantz said.

“The mainstream media is melting down because @realDonaldTrump showed them clips of their own coverage,” Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote.

President Trump was well within his rights, not only as the President of the United States of America, but also as a MAN to stand up to the Propaganda Arm of the Democratic Party known as the Main Stream Media.

Please explain to me why he should not have defended himself after putting up with the MSM attacking him and his Administration in numerous articles every single day.

You would have thought that the Main Stream Media in general would have figured out by now that Trump is not like any other Republican President in recent memory.

HE FIGHTS BACK.

First he stopped the Daily Press Briefings because Acosta and his fellow members of the Hive-Mind had turned what used to be an informative meeting into a circus sideshow designed to attack both the President and His Press Secretary, while the reporters made themselves the focus of the “news”, instead of just reporting it like they are supposed to.

Just as fewer and fewer Americans are watching CNN and MSNBC, so are fewer and fewer Americans subscribing to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and all of their fellow Liberal Rags across the country.

Liberal “journalists”, both print and broadcast, have not figured out that their Far Left Liberal Personal political ideology is not shared by the majority of Americans.

They need to wake up and smell what they have been shoveling during the President’s time in office, and especially during the Coronavirus Pandemic because average Americans are tired of the odor of B.S. coming from their reporting.

You would have thought that, after all of their predictions and assurances to Americans that Hillary Clinton was going to be the 45th President of the United States turned out to be completely wrong, that they would have stepped back and performed a self-assessment of themselves and the product that they were putting out.

Instead, just like their masters in the Far Left Democratic Party, they doubled down on their didactic arrogance and production of fictional articles, now known as “Fake News”, thanks to President Trump.

That is what has led to 6the beautiful smackdown which he laid on the MSM during the Coronavirus Taskforce Press Briefing yesterday.

It wasn’t some sort of fascism on the President’s part.

It was a thoughtful and well-measured reaction to over 3 years of Fake News and Personal Attacks.

The extremely biased Main Stream Media had it coming to them…and then some.

Hopefully, that was just the beginning

Academic Research Deleted in China to Control Coronavirus Pandemic Narrative…What about the Wuhan Bioresearch Facilities?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

There’s no evidence that the virus, a coronavirus, is readily spread by humans, and it has not been tied to any deaths. But health officials in China and internationally are watching it carefully. – The New York Times, Twitter

FoxNews.com reports that

Two websites for leading universities in China seem to have published and then deleted academic research about the origins of the coronavirus, according to a report.

The posts on the websites of Fudan University and the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) were erased from online caches — in a possible bid to control the narrative surrounding the pandemic, The Guardian reported.

The Wuhan university appeared to have published and then deleted posts about academic research that China’s ministry of science and technology needed to approve before publication.

Similar apparent censorship turned up in the form of deleted posts originally published on April 9 by the school of information science and technology at Fudan University in Shanghai.

“They are seeking to transform it from a massive disaster to one where the government did everything right and gave the rest of the world time to prepare,” Kevin Carrico, a senior research fellow of Chinese studies at Monash University, told The Guardian.

“There is a desire to a degree to deny realities that are staring at us in the face … that this is a massive pandemic that originated in a place that the Chinese government really should have cleaned up after SARS,” he added.

China’s science and technology ministry had announced on April 3 that academic researchers needed to report their coronavirus findings to officials within three days or be terminated.

The news outlet noted that China’s President Xi Jinping published an essay in March that included “tracing the origin of the virus” a national priority; the science and technology ministry referenced the essay shortly before the universities changed tunes.

On New Year’s Eve, China informed the World Health Organization of a “mysterious pneumonia outbreak” spreading through Wuhan, an industrial city of 11 million.

The government closed a seafood market at the center of the outbreak, moved all patients with the virus to a specially designated hospital and collected test samples to send to government laboratories. Doctors were told to stay quiet; one who issued a warning online was punished. He later died of the virus.

The Pentagon was said to have first learned about the new coronavirus in December from open-source reports emanating from China. By early January, warnings about the virus had made their way into intelligence reports circulating around the government. On Jan. 3, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], Robert Redfield, received a call from his Chinese counterpart with an official warning.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said he was alerted to the virus around the same time — and within two weeks was fearful it could bring about a global catastrophe.

Quickly, U.S. intelligence and public health officials started doubting China’s reported rates of infection and death toll. They pressed China to allow in U.S. epidemiologists — both to assist the country in confronting the spread and to gain valuable insights that could help buy time for the U.S. response. U.S. officials also pressed China to send samples of the virus to U.S. labs for study and for vaccine and test development.

On Jan. 11, China shared the virus’ genetic sequence. That same day, the National Institutes of Health started working on a vaccine.

Ultimately, the U.S. was able to get China’s consent to send two people on the WHO team that traveled to China later in the month. But by then precious weeks had been lost and the virus had raced across Asia and had started to escape the continent.

So, we are supposed to believed that a Worldwide Pandemic started because a little old lady at a Wet Market in Wuhan Province in Communist China ate a diseased bat?

And, as a result, the coronavirus circled the globe within 2 months time?

Really?

Perhaps this modern-day plague did come from bats…only not in the way that the Chinese Government claims that it did.

WashingtonTimes.com reported March 30th that

Chinese government researchers isolated more than 2,000 new viruses, including deadly bat coronaviruses, and carried out scientific work on them just three miles from a wild animal market identified as the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Several Chinese state media outlets in recent months touted the virus research and lionized in particular a key researcher in Wuhan, Tian Junhua, as a leader in bat virus work.

The coronavirus strain now infecting hundreds of thousands of people globally mutated from bats believed to have infected animals and people at a wild animal market in Wuhan. The exact origin of the virus, however, remains a mystery.

Reports of the extensive Chinese research on bat viruses likely will fuel more calls for Beijing to make public what it knows about such work.

“This is one of the worst cover-ups in human history, and now the world is facing a global pandemic,” Rep. Michael T. McCaul, Texas Republican and ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said last week. Mr. McCaul has said China should be held accountable for the pandemic.

A video posted online in December and funded by the Chinese government shows Mr. Tian inside caves in Hubei province taking samples from captured bats and storing them in vials.

“I am not a doctor, but I work to cure and save people,” Mr. Tian says in the video. “I am not a soldier, but I work to safeguard an invisible national defense line.”

Now, I’m just spitballin’ here (And, I can do this because it is an “Opinion Piece”) but, it is beyond logic that “Mr.” Tian’s samples wound up in a certain local laboratory?

China’s most advanced virus research laboratory, known the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is the only declared site in China capable of working with deadly viruses.

Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese biological warfare, said the institute is linked to Beijing’s covert bio-weapons program.

“Certain laboratories in the institute have probably been engaged, in terms of research and development, in Chinese [biological weapons], at least collaterally, yet not as a principal facility of the Chinese BW Alignment.

…In 1993, China declared a second facility, the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, as one of eight biological warfare research facilities covered by the Biological Weapons Convention, which China joined in 1985.

The Wuhan Institute of Biological Products is a civilian facility but is linked to the Chinese defense establishment. Mr. Shoham said it is thought to be involved in the Chinese Biological Weapons Convention program. China’s vaccine against SARS is probably produced there. – The Washington Times, 1/26/20

Now, I realize that I am justan ol’ cracka’, however, it strains credulity to the breaking point to ignore the coincidences of two related biological research facilities, along with a “gentleman” who just happens to research bat viruses in the Chinese Province where the diseased bat” which supposedly started a Global Pandemic was “consumed”.

Call me a cynic, but if you believe the Chinese Government’s story about the Wuhan Wet Markets that you probably also believe that the highly reported Chinese government-mandated abortions of girl babies, which has been occurring for several decades, is anti-Chinese Propaganda.

The Chinese need to be held accountable for the Coronavirus Pandemic and well as those political figures and members of the Main Stream Media who have been defending them and covering for them.

Whether it was an accident or it was deliberate, All of those Americans and all of those around the world who have died deserve for the truth to be known and for responsibility to be taken.

And, for you Liberals who have not figured it out yet, it most certainly wasn’t Trump.

Until He Comes,
