DailyCaller.com reports that

New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi asked President Donald Trump whether he deserved re-election if more Americans die of coronavirus than in the Vietnam War.

Nuzzi asked the question during Monday afternoon’s Coronavirus Task Force briefing.

“If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War, does he deserve to be re-elected?” Nuzzi asked.

Trump didn’t answer the question directly, instead choosing to highlight the steps his administration had taken to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.

“We’ve lost a lot of people. But if you look at what original projections were, 2.2 million, we’re probably heading to 60,000, 70,000,” he said. “It’s far too many. One person is too many for this. I think we’ve made a lot of really good decisions.”

Trump mentioned his initial ban on travel from China and touted Vice President Mike Pence’s efforts in leading the task force on a day to day basis. He then noted that no one was asking about ventilators anymore, now that a shortage of ventilators doesn’t appear to be the problem many expected it to be.

“No, I think we’ve done a great job,” Trump concluded, repeating, “One person — I will say this. One person is too many.”

Nuzzi defended the question after the fact, saying, “If more than 50,000 Americans died over the course of a few weeks at any time in our history, it would be fair to ask the president if he deserves to be reelected. It wasn’t a gotcha question, it wasn’t designed to provoke, and I appreciate the fact that Trump took it seriously.”

Former Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders once said, after being badgered by a “news reporter” from ABC. that the reporter and her colleagues have a “responsibility to provide accurate information” to the public.

“Responsibility”. Therein lies the rub.

Before the Chinese Coronavirus hit, the Democratic Party and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, had already been reduced to personal attacks against a sitting president.

They could not attack Trump on his Economic Policies, which had been very successful and which led to a record low unemployment rate for Black Americans.

They could not attack him on his Foreign Policy, especially after the fantastic way he handled the Iranians and the North Koreans.

So, they decided instead, to write fictional stories and attempt to give them believability and gravitas by claiming to have received the information for their stories from “anonymous sources”.

And, since those stories were being debunked almost as soon as they were posted, most Americans accurately surmised that the MSM’s “anonymous sources” were the voices inside their own over-sized heads.

The failure of the Dcmocrat-controlled MSM brought them to the point where all they had left was to attempt to upstage the president in his own press conferences, a practice which they have continued during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The Main Stream Media decided before the beginning of Trump’s Presidency that in order to assuage their own hurt feelings about his victory over Hillary Clinton that they would adopt the strategy of publishing unsubstantiated lie after unsubstantiated lie.

The depth of their grief and the blind rage of their ensuing temper tantrum wiped out any vestiges of journalistic integrity that remained after decades of being the Propaganda Arm of the Democratic Party.

The situation became so obvious that even Bob Woodward, who wrote a “tell-all” book about the Trump White House (that bombed) eventually had to say something about it in order to distance himself in order to preserve his own “journalistic legacy”.

Trump has made the Media look tremendously naïve and stupid on several occasions, in scenes reminiscent of Lucy Van Pelt promising to hold the football for Charlie Brown to kick, only to pull it away at the last minute leaving a helpless Charlie Brown to wipe out, tumbling head over heels.

The Main Stream Media have not been in control of the dissemination of the news since before Trump took office…and they know it.

Average Americans have become their own reporters through the use of Social Media, while “professional journalists”, like Ms. Nuzzi, have watched their influence over the daily lives of Americans dwindle and diminish right before their very eyes.

Unfortunately though, the lies will just keep on coming from both the Democratic Party and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media.

Like the attention-seeking spoiled brats that they are, the Main Stream Media believe that they can get away with anything.

That is why grandstanding idiots like Olivia Nuzzi feel ’empowered” to show the entire world their backside and to be everything but professional during the Coronavirus Taskforce House Press Briefings, attacking President Trump with “Gotcha” questions while trying to embarrass him at every opportunity.

Grandstanding self-important unhinged Democratic Propagandists like Ms. Nuzzi are why Americans do not trust the Main Stream Media.

Americans are being battered every morning and night by Fake News about Trump and his Administration from not just the Cable News Networks, but the Big 3 Broadcast Networks as well and all of their local affiliates.

Americans want their news to be just that: Information about the events going on around them, delivered by unbiased professional reporters.

If Americans wanted Fake News, they would pick up the National Enquirer while waiting in line at the grocery store, instead of watching the news every morning before they leave for work..

If they want to see two guys yell nonsensically at each other, as they do on “Discussion Panels” on CNN and MSNBC, they will tune into the WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” or Friday Night’s “Smackdown Live”.

Americans are now living in a time when the Main Stream Media’s blatant propaganda is no longer believed at face value, as the evidence which refutes it is appearing in the live videos and photographs being shared on Facebook and other Social Media.

Average Americans are winning the war against the “New Fascism” of the Tyranny of the Minority by the sharing of information through Social Media.

Self-righteous Liberals, masquerading as Broadcast “Journalists”, like Nuzzi and the rest of the Main Stream Media, need to wake up and smell what they’re shoveling before their version of “Broadcast Journalism” goes the way of the dinosaurs…

…after the Americans who are still watching tune them out to watch cat videos on Facebook.

Main Stream Media TDS: New Yorker’s Hendrick Hertzberg Tweets “Time For a Military Coup?”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1254560072472166403

FoxNews.com reports that

Liberal journalist Hendrik Hertzberg courted controversy Sunday by bashing President Trump and openly questioning in a tweet: “Time for a military coup?”

After a request for comment, the left-wing New Yorker magazine reporter weakly attempted to defend himself in a tweet, claiming he was being “sarcastic.”

Hertzberg, a longtime political commentator and staff writer at the New Yorker, was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and later served as then-President Jimmy Carter’s chief White House speechwriter.

Over three hours after his initial tweet made waves, Hertzberg followed up by tweeting: “As somebody or other once said, I was being … sarcastic.” That was a reference to a Trump remark from last week; the president said he “was asking a question sarcastically” to coronavirus experts at the White House about using disinfectant “by injection inside or almost a cleaning.” Many of the president’s critics said they didn’t buy his explanation.

The White House has been planning to shift Trump’s public focus to the burgeoning efforts aimed at easing the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Days after he publicly mused that scientists should explore the injection of toxic disinfectants as a potential virus cure, Trump has now rejected the utility of his daily task force briefings, where he has created friction with scientific experts. Trump’s aides have been aiming to move the president onto more familiar ground: talking up the economy, in tighter controlled settings.

Some states have started to ease closure orders, and Trump is expected to begin to highlight his administration’s work in helping businesses and employees. Aides said the president would hold more frequent roundtables with CEOs, business owners and beneficiaries of the trillions of dollars in federal aid already approved by Congress, and begin to outline what he hopes to see in a future recovery package.

I noticed that President Trump did not hold a Press Briefing yesterday.

I don’t blame him.

Today’s “Broadcast Journalists, with a few notable exceptions, are nothing but a bunch of Democrat Minions, doing the bidding of their masters.

Just like the rest of the Far Left Democratic Party, they want to end the presidency of Donald J. Trump right now, or, at least make sure that he will not be reelected on November 3rd, 2020.

I, like millions of other Americans, have been watching Trump’s Press Briefings, glad that he was attempting to keep us informed as to what was going on during this pandemic which is affecting American and the rest of the world.

And, like other average Americans, I have been angered by the shear disrespectful arrogance of the “reporters” from CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and their fellow travelers, including some young woman from a news service affiliated with Communist China, the nation responsible for releasing this coronavirus on the world!

This generation of imbeciles who call themselves news reporters are nothing but glorified paparazzi attempting to showboat and make a name for themselves by trying to purposefully embarrass the President of the United States of America during a National Emergency which has killed tens of thousands of Americans.

New Yorker Magazine, or The New Yorker, as it is called, is nothing by a Trump-hating Liberal Rag, not fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.

Besides Hendrick Hertzberg, it also features an exceedingly unfunny political cartoonist/satirist named Andy Borowitz.

You may have seen Borowitz’s feeble efforts on Facebook Political Pages, as Liberals find him hilarious. Then again, Liberals also believe that Pelosi and Biden possess all their mental faculties.

Let’s face it. as demonstrated by the words and actions of the Main Stream Media’s representatives like Hertzberg, President Trump owes them nothing but silence.

They, like the Far Left Democratic Party Elite, are not on the side of average Americans.

They are on their own side,

And, they are determined to destroy anyone who stands in their way of “radically changing” our Constitutional Republic into something that it was never meant to be.

NYC’s de Blasio Distributing 500,000 Halal Meals to Muslims During Ramadan After Threatening to Permanently Close Churches and Synagogues

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

untitled (314)

Liberals are so out of touch with average Americans that they view Traditional American Values, such as Christianity, to be antiquated and unnecessary in their future political vision of a Democratic Socialist America.

Case in point…

TheBlaze.com reports that

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Thursday that the city will take steps to provide for its Muslim community amid the coronavirus by distributing “over half a million meals” during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The 500,000 Halal meals will be distributed at 32 Department of Education buildings and other community organizations during Ramadan, Bloomberg News reported. Ramadan began Thursday evening and will end the evening of May 23.

“One of Ramadan’s most noble callings is to feed the hungry,” de Blasio said Thursday during a press briefing. “To remember to be there for those in need. And that is now harder than ever now that people can’t go to their mosques.”

He had a different tone for Christians and Jews

“We all wish that the celebrations of Easter and Passover could have been so different,” de Blasio said during the briefing.

However, many Christian and Jewish New Yorkers may find that statement unsettling, given the mayor’s harsh warning for the faithful from those religions at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in the city.

You may remember that de Blasio threatened to permanently close churches and synagogues that dared gather together in violation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s shelter-in-place order.

TheBlaze’s Chris Enloe noted that de Blasio’s threat was launched only hours before Jews were to meet for their weekly Shabbat gatherings.

Anything else?

This is not the first time that New York officials have appeared to give preferential treatment to Muslims in the state over Christians and Jews.

Earlier this week, TheBlaze reported on a New York mosque that remains open for daily prayers in the upstate even as the state’s current executive order broadly bans all “non-essential gatherings of individuals of any size for any reason.”

The news came as churches across the country have faced growing criticism and, in many cases, punishment for continuing to gather amid the pandemic.

De Blasio threatening to keep New York City’s Churches and Synagogues closed forever does not surprise me at all.

Do you remember when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that Conservative Republicans,

Right-to-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay — if that’s who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.

And New York City’s Communist Mayor, Bill DeBlasio, publicly agreed with his remarks?

Imagine if the Governors of the states of North Carolina and Mississippi had proclaimed that all Democrats, Liberals, and libertarians, gay or straight “had no place in the state of Mississippi because that’s not who Mississippians are”.

Oh, Lawdy.

Democrat Pundits, and Liberal and small “l” libertarian Politicians, on both sides of the aisle, would have a bigger conniption than that of Rosie O’Donnell, if she were banned from America’s all-you-can-eat buffets.

Concerning the question about treating Muslims differently, yes, it is ideal to treat people the way you would want them to treat you.

However, while I have met some very nice American Muslims, I have also been inside a mosque where I was looked at as if they wanted to take a scimitar to my neck.

If Moderate Muslims are not behind their radical brethren’s eternal jihad against us infidels, they need to get their mugs in front of the cable news networks’ TV cameras and say so…because all I see representing them when I turn on the news, are the abrasive members of CAIR, blaming America for all the world’s troubles.

Which is ironic, because the Former President of the United States of America is still demonstrably Islam’s biggest supporter in this country, as so aptly proven by his refusal to participate in the March Against Radical Islam, led by 50 World Leaders, held in Paris, France after the horrible Islamic Terrorist Attack there.

Are “The Smartest People in the Room” so contrary, as to not realize that Radical Islam punishes every single social issue that American Liberals so “righteously” defend in this nation?

The maddening thing is that every time you challenge Liberals on this fact, they try to equate Radical Islam with American Christianity.

Frankly, the ignorance of Modern American Liberals blows my mind.

There is a very important difference between being an average Christian American and a Muslim, living in America.

When Christians become “radicalized”, we want to share the testimony of what God has done for us through His love, with everyone we meet. We get involved in our local church and we become better fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and American Citizens.

When Muslims become “radicalized”, they want to “kill the Infidels” in the name of “Allah the Merciful”.

In the case of the Chechen Muslim brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon, their immersion into Radical Islam led them to “kill the infidels” that horrendous day.

In the case of the barbarians of ISIS, it turned them into doppelgangers of the Nazi Butchers of Dachau.

For Liberals like Mayor de Blasio to deny that is disingenuous at best, and just plain dangerous at worst.

“Larry King Live” 1993 Video Shows Mom of Alleged Biden Sexual Assault Victim Tara Reade Talking About “Problems”

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

untitled (313)

FoxNews.com reports that

A resurfaced clip on “Larry King Live” in 1993 appears to show the mother of Tara Reade — who has accused Joe Biden of past sexual assault while in the Senate — alluding to “problems” her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-Delaware senator.

In a telephone interview with Fox News on Friday night, Reade confirmed that her mother called into the show. Biden’s presidential campaign has adamantly denied Reade’s allegations but the video could be cited as evidence supporting Reade’s allegation – even though her late mother, in the clip, does not specifically refer to a sexual assault claim.

The Intercept on Friday first reported the transcript of a broadcast from Aug. 11, 1993, of a woman from San Luis Obispo County in California calling into the show about her daughter’s experience on Capitol Hill.

“San Luis Obispo, California, hello,” King began.

“Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him,” the caller said.

“In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?” King followed.

“That’s true,” the woman responded before King cut away to a panel to discuss her claim.

That woman was Jeanette Altimus, Reade’s mother, Reade told news outlets, including Fox News.

Later Friday, the Media Research Center found the clip in its archives matching the information provided by The Intercept.

Reade took to Twitter to confirm that it was her mother who called into “Larry King Live.”

“This is my mom. I miss her so much and her brave support of me,” Reade tweeted about her mother, who passed away in 2016.

Reade’s story first resurfaced in an article in The Intercept on March 24. Podcast host Katie Halper then interviewed Reade, who said that in 1993, a more senior member of Biden’s staff asked her to bring the then-senator his gym bag near the Capitol building, which led to the encounter in question.

“He greeted me, he remembered my name, and then we were alone. It was the strangest thing,” Reade told Halper. “There was no like, exchange really. He just had me up against the wall.”

Reade said that she was wearing “a business skirt,” but “wasn’t wearing stockings—it was a hot day.”

She continued: “His hands were on me and underneath my clothes, and he went down my skirt and then up inside it and he penetrated me with his fingers and he was kissing me at the same time and he was saying some things to me.”

Reade claimed Biden first asked if she wanted “to go somewhere else.”

“I pulled away, he got finished doing what he was doing,” Reade said. “He said: ‘Come on, man. I heard you liked me.’”

Reade said she tried to share her story last year, but nobody listened to her. Earlier this month, she filed a criminal complaint against Biden with police in Washington, D.C.

Fox News reached out to the Biden campaign on Friday for comment. The campaign referred Fox News to a statement earlier this month from Biden Deputy Campaign Manager Kate Bedingfield that said: “What is clear about this claim: it is untrue. This absolutely did not happen.”

“Vice President Biden has dedicated his public life to changing the culture and the laws around violence against women,” Bedingfield said. “He authored and fought for the passage and reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act. He firmly believes that women have a right to be heard – and heard respectfully. Such claims should also be diligently reviewed by an independent press.

Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Reade recalled being “furious” at her mother for phoning into CNN after having watched the clip on a recorded tape following the broadcast.

She told Fox News she “dreamt” about her mother on Thursday night. The following morning, The Intercept’s Ryan Grim told her that he found the transcript.

Reade said she “cried” when she watched the clip on Friday evening, telling Fox News it had been years since she had heard mother’s voice. She had urged Reade to file a police report at the time of the alleged assault, Reade said.

“Always listen to your mom, always listen to your mom,” an emotional Reade reflected to Fox News.

Still, the mother’s interview doesn’t specifically corroborate Reade’s latest allegations of assault, and could be referring more to the bullying allegations she raised last year. The Washington Post reported that in a 2020 interview, Reade laid more blame with Biden’s staffers for “bullying her” than with Biden himself.

Reade has come forward before—last year, when multiple women emerged claiming inappropriate touching by Biden. Reade, at the time, claimed Biden put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed his fingers up and down her neck, but was unable to gain traction on her story aside from an article in a local newspaper.

But in recent weeks, Reade told a far more graphic account, with different and more serious details, raising the allegation to the level of sexual assault.

“Now we’ll see if a different set of rules still applies to Joe Biden,” Erin Perrine, the principal deputy communications for President Trump’s re-election campaign, said in a statement to Fox News. “Maybe now at least one reporter will ask him about it.”

Gentle readers, would you like to know why the Democrats and their minions, the Main Stream Media, keep on making stuff up and misconstruing what President Trump says during the Daily Coronavirus Taskforce Press Briefings?

It is because their Potential Democratic Presidential Candidate is a groping old horndog who is suffering from dementia so badly that he cannot speak extemporaneously and must be limited to 7-minute speeches directly off of a teleprompter.

And, even then he screws up.

We have all seen the pictures and have heard stories about his behavior toward women.

For example, last March, FoxNews.com reported that

A number of Democratic presidential candidates weighed in on Sunday on the allegations made by a former Nevada political candidate that former Vice President Joe Biden kissed her on the back of the head in 2014.

…Flores made the accusations in a piece in New York magazine in which she accused the former vice president of approaching her from behind, putting his hands on her shoulders, sniffing her hair and kissing her on the back of the head.

“The vice president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners — and I felt powerless to do anything about it,” she wrote.

And, of course, there was his comment about children being fascinated by his hairy legs.

There are also reports from years past of him being naked in his swimming pool in front of reporters.

And, the Democrats believe that this loser is Presidential Material?

Are you kidding me?

If you think that the staged fake “Bimbo Eruption” that the Dems and Ambulance Chaser Gloria Allred tried against Candidate Trump before he became president was something…you ain’t seen nothing, yet.

Per Taskforce, Coronavirus Vulnerable to Heat and Humidity, Trump Then Shuts Down Attacking WaPo Reporter

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1253456045667692550

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump had a contentious exchange with Washington Post journalist Philip Rucker at Thursday’s coronavirus task force briefing.

Following the task force’s presentation about the virus’s vulnerability to sunlight and humidity, Rucker asked the president if it’s “dangerous” for him to suggest that it’s safe for people to go outside, pointing to the death counts in places with warmer climates like Florida and Singapore.

“Here we go, here we go — the new headline is ‘Trump asks people to go outside — that’s dangerous,'” Trump mocked Rucker. “You ready? I hope people enjoy the sun and if it has an impact, that’s great.”

Trump highlighted the prior “rumor” that heat is effective in killing the virus and questioned if “light and heat” can be applied to a cure, stressing that he’s “not a doctor” but that it may or may not work. Dr. Deborah Birx said having a fever helps the body respond to the virus, though expressed uncertainty about Trump’s suggestion.

However, none of that sat well with the Post’s White House bureau chief, who is also an MSNBC analyst.

“But respectfully, sir, you’re the president and people tuning in to these briefings — they want to get information and guidance and want to know what to do. They’re not looking for a rumor,” Rucker said.

“Hey Phil, I’m the president and you’re fake news,” Trump shot back. “And you know what I’ll say to you? I’ll say it very nicely. I know you well, I know you well because I know the guy, I’ve seen what he writes. He’s a total faker. So, are you ready?… It’s just a suggestion from a brilliant lab by a very, very smart man. He’s talking about sun, he’s talking about heat. And you see the numbers. So that’s it. That’s all I have. I’m just here to present talent. I’m here to present ideas because we want ideas to get rid of this thing.”

After his praise for Bill Bryan, the head of the science and technology directorate at the Department of Homeland, Trump added, “And if heat is good and if sunlight is good, that’s a great thing as far as I’m concerned.”

Here’s what brought about the above exchange per FoxNews.com,

Bill Bryan, the head of the science and technology directorate at the Department of Homeland, said that solar light along with high temperatures and humidity have a “powerful effect” of creating environments less favorable for the virus to survive.

A chart released by during the White House coronavirus task force by the DHS showed that the novel coronavirus dies within two minutes in hot summer humidity while on surfaces and a minute and a half while in the air.

“Coronavirus dies at a much more rapid pace when exposed to sunlight and humidity,” Bryan said during the White House briefing. “The virus dies the quickest in direct sunlight. Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds.”

Bryan, however, warned that the results from a DHS study were still in the nascent stages and cautioned Americans to continue practicing social distancing and other hygiene measures outlined by the federal government.

The question is, why did President Trump being glad to see a possible light at the end of the Coronavirus Tunnel get the reports from The Washington Post so agitated?

It’s simple.

Those reports, like their masters in the Democratic Party Hierarchy, believe that the longer that the Chinese Coronavirus lingers on, the longer that Democratic Governors will attempt to limit the Constitutional Freedom of American Citizens.

The longer that they can make this pandemic last, the worse the American Economy is going to get and the better their chances of spoiling President Trump’s bid for reelection…even running a loser like Joe Biden.

If these preliminary studies are correct and the change of seasons from spring to summer will go a long way in eradicating the coronavirus, Then that leaves the President and his Administration time to begin the process of rebuilding America’s Economy.

From here in my man-cave in the Mid-Southern part of America’s Heartland, it appears to me like the Far Left Democrats would rather America’s Economy tanks and the millions of Americans currently unemployed remain that way, so that Sleepy Joe and the real power behind him can convince Americans just how benevolent that they and the “Democratic Socialism” which they will be peddling will be when they are sitting in the Oval Office come January of 2021.

As one of my fellow writers at http://www.Spartareport.com said in a discussion yesterday, what the Democrats don’t get is that the real power of the movement that elected Trump in 2016 was not Candidate Trump himself but the average Americans who supported him.

The “smartest people in the Room” are so cloistered up there in Washington, D.C. from us “commoners”, that the value system and political ideology which has consumed them has as much in average Americans as Rosie O’Donnell does with Jenny Craig.

In order for the Democrats to have a change in the 2020 Presidential Election, the Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic must drag on for as long as possible.

Because, the longer it drags on, the more that the America that we know and love will resemble the Marxist Nation that the Far Left Democrats want to change us into.

Cuomo Drops Mask, Tells Protesters if They Want to Go Back to Work “Get a Job as an Essential Worker”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Holds Media Briefing

FoxNews.com reports that

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that protesters calling for the state to reopen the economy so they can go back to work could “get a job as an essential worker.”

Cuomo made the comment at the end of a long exchange with WRGB reporter Anne McCloy, who told the governor that she spoke with demonstrators outside New York’s state Capitol in Albany before heading inside for the daily press conference. The protesters told her they can’t wait for widespread coronavirus testing – which Cuomo has been pushing — and want to return to work so they can have an income and feed their families, McCloy said.

“By the way — if you want to go to work, go take the job as an essential worker. Do it tomorrow,” Cuomo said.

“But the people aren’t hiring because of the pandemic,” McCloy responded.

“No, there are people hiring,” Cuomo said. “You can get a job as an essential worker, so now you can go to work and you can be an essential worker and you’re not going to kill anyone.”

Cuomo said earlier that “we get the economic anxiety, the question is how do you respond to it and do you respond to it in a way that jeopardizes public health and possibly causes more people to die?”

He also noted that the federal government is providing financial assistance for Americans and his state is “moving heaven and earth” to speed up payments to New Yorkers who file for unemployment.

Cuomo has ordered non-essential businesses to remain closed through May 15. New York state has been hardest-hit by the coronavirus in the U.S., with an additional 474 deaths reported Wednesday.

“Beware because there can be a second wave or there could be a third wave. So don’t be cocky just because you got hit by a wave and it didn’t knock you off your feet. There can be a second wave,” Cuomo warned. “And if you’re not ready for the second wave, that’s the wave that’s going to knock you down, because you’re not ready for it.”

You know, gentle readers, at first it was the sheer arrogance of Gov. Cuomo’s statement that got my attention.

Cuomo’s tone-deaf statement was as bad as Nancy Pelosi’s tour of her ice cream freezer filled with more flavors than Baskin Robbins.

And then, I looked beyond the beyond the tone-deafness and arrogance…and it hit me.

At this point, the continuation of a nationwide lockdown and the resulting draconian measures taken by some Democratic Governors is not as much about caution as it is about control.

Let’s face it…the Far Left Democrat Party with all their talk about “rights” (usually when they are talking about special interest groups) are actually nothing but a bunch of FASCISTS.

For years now, I have referred to the intolerant political ideology of Modern American Liberals as “The New Fascism” because of their disdain and condescension when speaking about patriotism and the traditional American Faith and Values held by average Americans.

What we are seeing now, as regards the radical movement to the Left of the Political Spectrum, which includes anti-Semitism, of the Democratic Party, which began under Former President Barack Hussein Obama, is a result of an amalgamation of the political philosophies of the special interest groups who have replaced average Americans as the Democrats’ Voting Base.

The political philosophies of Marxism, fascism, and Anti-Semitism, which the Far Left Democrats have now embraced, are the anti-thesis of who they claim to be.

Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that America is in the middle of fighting a new war against fascism.

It’s not a war that is being fought with guns and bullets, But instead, it has been fought with superfluous Congressional Hearings attacking President Trump, anonymous sources, unproven baseless accusations, and the Vanguard of the Modern Democratic Party, the Main Stream Media.

And now, Americans are witnessing a stripping away of rights as these same politicians take advantage of the Coronavirus Lockdown to ban activities which have nothing to do with the spread of the contagion.

This crisis has allowed those who seek control over our daily lives to further their quest to take away our Constitutional Freedoms and our form of government, including our System of Checks and Balances, which has already been challenged by a Speaker of the House who believes that she is as powerful as the President.

By now, there’s some out there in the audience saying, “Oh Lord, the crazy old cracker’s overreacting again.”

No, Skippy, I’m not.

If you try to talk to a Liberal about this New Fascism, they will deny that there is any fascism going on at all. In fact, they will tell you that their radicalism “the will of the people” and they will site Democratically stacked push polls in order to back their opinion up.

Liberals can not legitimately defend their positions, such as the suppression of the Second Amendment Rights of average Americans, the Silent Coup began by those members of the DOJ and FBI during the Obama Administration against now-President Trump, the “Caining” of Judge Kavanaugh, and now, the taking advantage of a national crisis in an attempt to install a form of government identical to that of the country responsible for this modern-day plague.

Fascism, in any form, remains indefensible.

All of this political unethical behavior by the Far Left Democrats is reminiscent of both the Russian Revolution and Hitler and his Brown Shirts’ “Beer Hall Putsch” which probably should have been expected, given the “New Wokesheviks” track record of Liberal Intolerance and aversion to opposing viewpoints.

Ronald Reagan, during an interview with Mike Wallace on 12/14/75, quipped…

“You know, someone very profoundly once said many years ago that if fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”

The man was a prophet.

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.

Until He Comes,

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

“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

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.

Until He Comes,
