Here’s the reality. By most traditional measures, the economy is stronger than it’s been in over three decades, especially where job creation is concerned. Trump’s policy of tax relief and deregulation—the president likes to brag his administration has eliminated more than a dozen regulations for each new one it has imposed—has led to the creation of the three most important things in U.S. politics: jobs, jobs and more jobs.

Even if some are better off than others, most everyone is better off now than they were four years ago.
— Newsweek, 1/29/20

The Coronavirus essentially wiped that all out within a month. The very historic low employment numbers the media were hesitant to report prior to the economic shutdown are now being repeated hourly with partisan glee.

NBC News: Coronavirus job losses could total 47 million, unemployment rate may hit 32 precent, Fed estimates

The stock market, jobs, Constitutional freedoms, toilet paper, common sense, all dashed and the timing couldn’t have been better for Democrats. They have a near-senile presidential frontrunner facing numerous sexual assault accusations who’s always a gaffe away from daily mockery. Their Russia-collusion and Trump impeachment attempts landed with a loud thoom and because of their Election 2020 desperation, the pandemic became a crisis too good to waste.

Donald Trump has been fighting against the hostile liberal media and #DeepState coup d’etat since his candidacy, through his transition and administration. Isn’t it convenient that both the media and insubordinate government employees are the two most destructive entities and are virtually untouched monetarily? While millions of Americans have lost their jobs and are awaiting government assistance, the media and government workers still get paid whether they show up in the office or work from home.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

From the onset of the COVID-19 “pandemic”, we were given hellacious predictions (based on conveniently fluctuating garbage-in-garbage-out “models”) of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of American deaths.

The Hill: Fauci: US death toll ‘looks more like 60,000’ than 100-200K estimate

Scary shit, to be sure. But like most things we’re told by Democrat pundits via the media that turn out to be incorrect, the retractions and/or apologies never meet the same decibel level as their initial shouts from the mountain tops.

New American: 86% of New Yorkers Who Died With Chinese Virus Had Other Illnesses, Conditions
NY Times: The 1,000-Bed Comfort Was Supposed to Aid New York. It Has 20 Patients.

If the Coronavirus was treated as another kind of flu and no big deal was made of it, would it have had the same effect on the our way of life? For example, it turns out thousands of Chinese flew in and out of San Francisco and Los Angeles during the ramp up of the current pandemic, yet California is nowhere near a “hotspot” despite having USA’s highest population of near 40 million people.

One theory has been consistently attacked by the media, health and government officials.

The theory of “herd immunity”.

If the virus keeps spreading, eventually so many people will have been infected and (if they survive) become immune that the outbreak will fizzle out on its own as the germ finds it harder and harder to find a susceptible host. This phenomenon is known as herd immunity.
— MIT Technology Review, 3/17/20

It could be argued had this particular Coronavirus wasn’t hyped to the point of essentially shutting down the nation, it may have come and went and few would have noticed. Yes, to date over 16,000 are of COVID-19 attributed death but that number is much lower than annual influenza deaths today’s Coronavirus opportunists routinely blew off.

We’ve seen how the Democrats and their cohorts in the media and government have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some have rejected and summarily demonized hydroxychloroquine: a possible remedy mentioned by President Trump that’s had consistent success stories worldwide.

“Sixty-five percent of physicians across the United States said they would prescribe the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine to treat or prevent COVID-19 in a family member,” the survey, which questioned 1,271 doctors in 50 states, found. “Only 11 percent said they would not use the drug at all.”
— Townhall, 4/9/20

Who ya gonna believe: your doctor or Brian Stelter?

For some strange reason, when politicians and the well-connected catch the virus, they take hydroxychloroquine, get better and give credit where credit is due.

State Rep. Karen Whitsett (D-Detroit) found out she had tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) the day her friend and House colleague died from it. Her health was deteriorating fast and she prevailed upon her doctor to get hydroxychloroquine for her.

“I thank God the president of the United States mentioned that drug because it did save me,” Whitsett said.
— Click on Detroit, 4/7/20

We’ve had governors, mayors and local officials (exhibiting the very dictator-like behavior President Trump is accused of) ordering the shutdown of select gathering places, businesses, travel, education, elections, boldly limiting freedom of movement of their citizens, while using their infinite wisdom in decide what is “essential”. They justify their authoritarian acts that temporarily suspends the United States Constitution… for “public safety” reasons.

Then again, if you’re a friend or relative of a politician or member of the privileged elite, those rules become optional which again brings into question the true seriousness of this “pandemic”.

#PLANDEMIC?

We also have politicians, government officials and medical professionals suggesting we should keep that “social distancing” practice for (depending on whom you hear) a few months to a year and a half. While the stock market is attempting to show some signs of life, attempts are still being made to keep a foot on the neck of the economy until the presidential election.

There are a lot of players who still stand to benefit from the economic paralysis of the United States.

Joe Biden and Democrats are obvious but the Chinese government is the other major potential beneficiary. President Trump revision of trade “deal” has not only had a leveling of the playing field effect but has also exposed President Xi Jinping as weak against the United States. Admitting responsibility for the virus release, thus exposing China to a world of liability would be political suicide. Keeping the United States and President Trump occupied shows the similar interests Chinese and Democrats have and could have no problem working unofficially in concert.

While the American people have been instructed not to use the Coronavirus pandemic as an excuse for political opportunism, the political class once again exempted themselves.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn reportedly described the coronavirus relief package currently being debated in Congress as a “tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision,” the South Carolina Democrat allegedly said on a phone call with fellow members of his party last week.
— Washington Examiner, 3/24/20

While the Wuhan virus was not created in the United States, it has been successfully weaponized by Democrats and their media to destroy the American economy while their livelihoods were assured. Aside from the inconvenience of movement limitations, they’re fine.

Donald Trump has been punished, Americans who voted for him and those who were considering voting for him in November have been warned. The historic economy has been left in splinters and Democrats believe they can now do anything they want despite not being totally in power. This has gone from a pandemic to a plandemic.

We’ve yet to see just how far the Democrats will go to implement it.

Give ’em an inch and they think they’re rulers

It didn’t take long for us to find out just how much power the elected believe they have over us all.

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.
— The Federalist, 4/13/20

As in many cases, the truth will eventually come out and we’ll see if all of this was indeed warranted. Comfortable politicians and elitists have no problem if those under them suffer as long as what they see as a “greater good” is accomplished. So, if the little people lose Constitutional freedoms, if not a few lives here and there… well, shit happens.

You think Fredo Cuomo’s taking the drug? You think Fredo has taken chloroquine? How do we know that? How do we know that he’s taking…?
— Rush Limbaugh, 4/3/20

You’d think, given media reports over the last couple weeks, he wouldn’t go near it but if Chris Cuomo walks out of his home quarantine and dares admit what his treatment was, CNN and other may have to be dragged kicking and screaming that they too were very wrong.

After repeatedly mocking President Trump for suggesting on March 19 that hydroxychloroquine could be an effective treatment for coronavirus, media organizations have begun acknowledging that the drug — now approved for emergency use to treat coronavirus by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — may be useful after all.

Journalists and top Democrats have beaten a similarly hasty retreat from their previous claims that Trump’s ban on travel from China was both xenophobic and ineffective. But media outlets’ misinformation on hydroxychloroquine was unique because it involved not simply policy disagreements but also suggestive medical advice and directives that could have dissuaded some from seeking certain treatments.
— Fox News, 4/3/20

The media pummeling of President Trump and supporters advocating the use of hydroxychloroquine was predictably harsh and relentless.

Why would the “journalists and top Democrats” now be beating a hasty retreat? Could it be that the cat may soon be out of the bag and the American people (if not the people of the world) may soon find out hundreds of thousands of deaths may have been totally unnecessary?

It appears President Trump has proved them ignorant, arrogant and wrong… again.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. The agency’s March 24 letter warns physicians and pharmacists of professional consequences for the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine (and chloroquine). Beyond the rational recommendation against hoarding as production of this medication needs to be ramped up, the letter deviates into open threats of “administrative action” against the licenses of doctors that prescribe hydroxychloroquine.
— The Detroit News, 3/26/20

Whitmer’s since changed her tune and hydroxychloroquine is the bee’s knees in Michigan.

After being accused of “banning” the use of a potential coronavirus drug, Michigan is now leading the nation’s largest study on whether hydroxychloroquine can be used to treat COVID-19.
— Clevescene.com, 4/3/20

If hydroxychloroquine is so questionable, why is there now a rush to produce and obtain it?

Very intelligent journalists were also very wrong in their reporting but as usual, their retractions and apologies seldom match the volume level of their accusatory headlines.

Several media organizations that confused the chloroquine medication with chloroquine phosphate later issued corrections. The New York Times, though, all but accused Trump of recommending the same substance in the fish-tank cleaner.
— Fox News, 4/3/20

Anyone wanna bet doctors of privileged journalists and top Democrats may have have a pack of these bad boys on standby for a potential walk in? And just why would journalists and top Democrats delay a potential cure from the American people? Could it be the routine demands of the federal bureaucracy and scientific/education class: attention, credit and funding?

The most promising answer to the pandemic will be a vaccine, and researchers are racing to develop one. Mr. Trump’s inappropriate hype has already led to hoarding of hydroxychloroquine and diverted supplies from people with other maladies who need it. His comments are raising false hopes. Rather than roll the dice on an unproven therapy, let’s deposit our trust in the scientists.
— Washington Post, 3/25/20

Yeah, “hoarding” from people “who need it”….

The federal government, as we all know, is a behemoth that relies on the American people to feed it and occasionally has to justify its existence. At a time when all hell is breaking loose, several government agencies and colleges are looked at for results and it looks like it’s in their best interest to be the ones to come up with the remedy, let everyone know it was them who came up with the remedy, but not do it so fast as to jeopardize their desire to be fed at our expense for the next few years.

What’s the urgency for federal employees who, unlike most of the nation, don’t have to worry about their next paycheck?

For example, the annual budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was near $6.6 billion BEFORE additional Coronavirus funding.

But here’s a real hint at why we’re at where we’re at today….

The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.

The Budget proposes $94.5 billion in discretionary budget authority and $1.3 trillion in mandatory funding for HHS. It reflects HHS’s commitment to making the federal government more efficient and effective by focusing spending in areas with the highest impact.
— Department of Health and Human Services

There’s a lot of taxpayer money on the table and imagine how much more they could get, the more that could be hired, and bonuses and raises that could be dispersed if these entities could hold up their hands and shout out they found the cure for Coronavirus. They’d be like the first responders after 9/11. Some would find their money no good at restaurants and bars. They would be heroes and it would be more than a decade before they’d have to come up with good reasons for a budget increase from Capitol Hill.

All that is currently at risk when the most mocked, yet effective remedy may be currently and readily available.

Hydroxychloroquine was overall chosen as the most effective therapy from a list of 15 options (37% of COVID-19 treaters).

•75% in Spain, 53% Italy, 44% in China, 43% in Brazil, 29% in France, 23% in US and 13% in UK.

Given the strategic importance of this topic, a total of 6,227 physicians (in 30 countries) across all specialties were sampled.
— Sermo, global health care polling company

Is it cynical to think there are many in our federal government that have no problem seeing people hurt if they could damage President Trump and get paid for it at the same time?

Dr. Anthony Fauci warns Americans shouldn’t assume hydroxychloroquine is a ‘knockout drug’

What do you think would be the first thing he’d take if he tested positive tomorrow? How would he know it might work?

Doctors are prescribing drug that may help treat coronavirus for family and friends: “Unethical and selfish”

It’s been a recurring theme on this website how things take on an added importance should something bad happen to a politician, celebrity entertainer, media personality and/or athlete.

Cuomo’s younger brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, contracted the COVID-19 virus and talked about his brother’s bout with the disease, but never indicated to reporters if the CNN host was being treated with the anti-malarial drug.

“Governor, you’re gonna tell me that your brother got really sick, and he didn’t get hydroxychloroquine?” Steve McLaughlin of Rensselaer County asked. “Really? We’re supposed to believe that? I doubt it.”
— Washington Examiner, 4/7/20

Anyone wanna bet Chris will assert his medical treatments an out-of-bounds, private matter?

All eyes should be on Chris Cuomo and now fellow CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin who’s also tested positive for the Coronavirus.

It would be interesting to know what the first prescription from her doctor will be…?

UPDATE

This is unfortunate but not unexpected.

Chris Cuomo announces wife has virus: It breaks my heart

Can you imagine how merciless the left and their media would be if a conservative said he or she would be self-isolating from family with only a basement door separating them and then announcing a member caught Coronavirus?

Chris Cuomo’s biggest fear has come true –his wife Cristina Greeven Cuomo has tested positive for coronavirus a little over two weeks after his own diagnosis.

Up until this point, the 50-year-old magazine editor, whose symptoms appear to be on the milder side with loss of taste and smell, had been taking care of her husband, who has been quarantined in their basement, and giving updates on his health on her Instagram account. Her last post on April 13 revealed it was day 18 of his own battle with the virus. Throughout, the Purist editor-in-chief has been making sure to give him “good foods, dr. Linda’s herbs + homeopathy and lots of vitamins necessary for this time + non-toxic quinine (Cinchona Officialis –Peruvian Bark) to combat the oxygen-eating virus.”

Cristina also made sure to give Chris a “stress-free diet (that isn’t taxing on the liver and doesn’t consume energy).” Some of the meals included cooked foods like soup, lentil, chicken, legumes + vegetables, and she avoided raw foods since those take a lot of energy to break down. Acknowledging that “food is medicine,” she also noted: “This is a virus of isolation, so one of the best remedies for any illness is simply [heart emoji] + humor.”
— Hola!, 4/16/20

Obviously there is contact thus that self-quarantine was a joke, possibly just for public consumption.

The question remains, how how will Chris’ brother Governor Andrew continue to limit access to hydroxychloroquine to the public and when will he make sure his family gets it under the table and out of view from the public?

Now that anybody can voice an opinion (informed or not) and have it transmitted to millions in seconds, this technology can be exploited and it’s even easier if you have help. During a time of crisis, one would hope those who have influence could show due caution to make sure their words and deeds can’t be used against our country in the same manner immortalized by “Hanoi Jane” Fonda.

Here in America, the Democrats along with corporate media eagerly buy China’s lies surrounding the nascence of the worldwide pandemic, the propaganda blaming America, the stories of Chinese benevolence, and the efficiency of Chinese methods in getting control of the virus at home. They are actively supporting China’s version of the truth. China has every reason to believe they will continue to do so.
— American Thinker, 4/2/20

Unfortunately during the current Coronavirus pandemic, the Communist Chinese not only have a media outlet to spread their “We’re not responsible” propaganda but have been able to find ample useful idiot Americans to bolster their case by use of a politically correct club they know disarms inconvenient speech: racism.

China’s nationalistic tabloid the Global Times has relied on a crew of foreigners help keep its English-language paper and website running since it started publishing in English in April 2009. There are currently around twenty foreign editors working with the Global Times who are referred to as “foreign experts,” a clichéd nickname for any foreigner working with Chinese state media. They do everything from assigning stories to reporting to copy editing—as long as the coverage is not about politics.
— Quartz, 8/9/16

Of course not.

Buck-passing, lying, inciting hate crimes with racist remarks. All aim to hide his delayed response to COVID-19. Netizens use hashtag #TrumpPandemic on Twitter to express dissatisfaction with the US president’s botched handling of the pandemic.
— 环球时报 Global Times, 3/23/20

It shouldn’t be this easy for an antagonist to be able to divide and conquer but when you have an American left and media who hates the president and his supporters more than a proven enemy, how much easier can it be made for China?

This is not to fear monger. It would be irresponsible for us to create panic when it’s undue.

— Dr. Drew Pinsky, 3/9/20

We all know there are ramifications to every action and an irresponsible, pro-Democrat media is hoping for any opportunity to steer the 2020 election away from President Trump, no matter how many Americans are freaking out and harmed by their misinformation.

NY Times: Why the Outlook for the Economy Just Got Worse
NPR: The Coronavirus’ Impact On Financial Markets And The Economy
MSNBC: Examining how coronavirus can affect the economy
CNN: The coronavirus is already hurting the world economy. Here’s why it could get really scary

Rush Limbaugh was one of the first ridiculed as he put all things “pandemic” in proper perspective.

We have had 10,000 deaths from the flu so far this season, 180,000 people hospitalized with the flu. Where is the panic over the flu? Where is the market plunge because of the flu?
— Rush Limbaugh, 3/2/20

Give them time, Rush.

While the left got all butthurt after the implication they were stoking a public panic for obvious political reasons, the result of their “scary” moved right along and the effects were as hoped.

Wall Street reeled and millions of Americans worried after the stock market’s worst day since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,000 points, or nearly 8%, based largely on concern over the coronavirus and oil prices.

They had to throw in the “oil” thing as veiled cover….

The U.S. death toll rose to 26 and several members of Congress are in self-quarantine after possible exposure. Despite contact with some of those lawmakers in recent days, President Trump has not been tested for the coronavirus, according to his press secretary.
— CBS News, 3/10/20

After the Mueller Report and impeachment failed, the Democrat left and their meida launched the latest attempt to damage President Trump’s strongest 2020 election card: the economy. COVID-19 became one of the last rounds in the chamber and Democrats pulled the trigger.

Twenty-seven coronavirus deaths to-date is tragic but compared to the flu is almost nonexistent. How many even bothered to go to the CDC’s website at CNN, The New York Times, NPR, MSNBC…?

Meanwhile real business owners, employees, customers, and the general public are going to have feel the real-world ramifications of the panic caused by gleeful Democrats.

The spread of the Coronavirus could have significant implications for businesses here at home and around the globe. Industrial sectors will be impacted in waves, for example certain transportation sectors like aviation and certain trade-dependent industries are already being impacted.

Today, it’s too early to determine the long-term impact on supply chains, manufacturing, and the American economy. Given the importance of consumer spending to the American economy, much will depend on the confidence of the American public.
— US Chamber of Commerce, 3/3/20

The damage to the Trump economy and Democrats want to come off as compassionate saviors before November.

Paid sick leave is one of several measures that House Democrats are advocating for to help mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus. They also want to ensure unemployment insurance for people who lose their jobs due to the outbreak and expand food assistance to low-income families.

The Trump administration and Republicans on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, are focusing on “targeted” measures such as tax deferments for industries most affected by the outbreak, such as the travel and hospitality sectors.
— The Hill, 3/9/20

The media creates a panic, the economy reacts and politicians use Americans’ money to pay off those affected by the panic. Normally, those who create a panic are held legally and sometimes financially responsible, but the bomb-throwing media hides behind a First Amendment privilege the Founders may have pulled back had they known just how much journalism would devolve.

Successfully suing a hostile media is not without precedent.

CNN’s decision to settle a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann is a big victory for the “little guy,” Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson told Fox News.

Hopefully those businesses adversely affected by media hysterics will lawyer-up and hold those with the biggest mouths accountable.

UPDATE

We said this Coronavirus was the equivalent of a bad flu season and it turns out our initial assessment of the media/politician/agency panic was correct. As written above, “We all know there are ramifications to every action and an irresponsible, pro-Democrat media is hoping for any opportunity to steer the 2020 election away from President Trump, no matter how many Americans are freaking out and harmed by their misinformation.”

Fox News finally caught up on June 10, 2020….

So, what are we going to do about it?

Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion? That’s the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.” And while it’s no joke, CDC officials say it’s all about emergency preparation.

The post, written by Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan, instructs readers how to prepare for “flesh-eating zombies” much like how they appeared in Hollywood hits like “Night of the Living Dead” and video games like Resident Evil. Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you’d take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic.

What do you say to this, coming from the federal government? The next time a Democrat EVER talks about their having adults in leadership, remind them about the “zombie apocalypse” warning.

And typically missing from any liberal impending doom to-do list, a gun.
