Essential Means Different Things To Different People - Victory Girls Blog

Essential Means Different Things To Different People - Victory Girls Blog
"There are few things in doubt right now. 
The economy is a wreck.
...And we all have different definitions on what is considered “essential.”
State governments are busy splitting hairs right now as to what is considered an “essential” business and what is not. 
...And then there is Hobby Lobby. 
The arts and crafts chain, along with stores like Michaels and Joann Fabrics, have remained open due to their own interpretation of essential. 
While the CDC and other medical minds dither about whether face masks should be recommended to the general public, the American people have taken matters into their own hands
With a lot of free time on their hands, and a need for personal protective equipment when the supply of such is in high demand, those who can sew have cleaned out their local fabric and craft stores to make face masks.
...Well, this has set off some local authorities, including one judge in Dallas, Texas, who decided to single out Hobby Lobby by name.
...the threat of legal action has caused Hobby Lobby to close its stores nationwide at the end of business today.
...One judge in Texas decides that Hobby Lobby isn’t essential, and yet Americans are making their own face masks because they would rather have a little personal protection than none at all. Is this an essential item? 
Who gets to make that call?...
Much here, read all!

Top House Dem doubles down on politically exploiting COVID-19 to radically 'restructure government' - TheBlaze

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) doubled down on his claim that the coronavirus outbreak is an opportunity to advance the Democratic Party's agenda.
In an interview with Roll Call, Clyburn said the COVID-19 crisis specifically presents Democrats with the opportunity to push their educational and health care policies.

China has a lot of influence within our ruling class. --Fans of Best of the Web Today

YA THINK?
"China has a lot of influence within our ruling class. 
And with our press, much of which rushes to advance its narratives.
For example:
COLLUSION: Dem Rep Spreads Chinese Propaganda While Blaming Coronavirus Deaths on Trump.
An Illinois Democrat who accused President Donald Trump of killing Americans by lying to the public about the coronavirus also spread pro-China misinformation about the deadly disease during a townhall with constituents.
As COVID-19 spreads across the nation, Rep. Sean Casten (D., Ill.) has repeatedly attempted to blame Trump and Republicans for the death toll, accusing them of spreading fatal misinformation about the pandemic. Casten himself, however, has misinformed the public about China’s role in the pandemic. When one of his constituents asked about the early Chinese response to the outbreak at a March 21 electronic town hall, the congressman refused to talk about the regime’s coverup of the virus. Instead, he incorrectly said that China had successfully isolated the outbreak in Wuhan.
“China, to their credit, once they realize they had a problem, shut down the entire province that this was in and they seem to have largely isolated the cases in China,” Casten said. “We have missed that window in the United States.”
Casten’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
Casten also asserted the United States shut down its pandemic response team in the National Security Council, a false claim repeated by many Democrats and mainstream media outlets. Trump merely consolidated several redundant teams, including those tasked with the pandemic response, into one office while retaining much of their original staff, according to Tim Morrison, who previously led the consolidated office.
"Uh huh. Why are Democratic members of Congress covering up for the Chinese government’s misbehavior?" (h/t Instapundit)"

Victor Davis Hanson--Corona Meltdowns - American Greatness

  • Is the bad and self-negating behavior of so many of Trump’s enemies setting him up for an even more impressive victory in the fall?
"As the coronavirus outbreak begins to reach its zenith, it remains unclear whether the measures taken to stem its tide will prove sufficient, insufficient, or an overreaction. 
What is certain, however, is that a number of individuals and entities have behaved shamefully and demonstrated no capacity for leadership or usefulness in this moment.

  • Nancy Pelosi: ...Instead, all that matters is that for a nation in extremis she is now puerile, even unhinged—and increasingly dangerous...It is difficult to find one thing Pelosi has said or done that has not made the country worse off since the virus officially hit our shores in late January.
  • The Media: Watching the media deal with the daily White House briefings reminds the country that we have never had journalism of this low character before—not in the acrimony over the Founding, not in the furor during the Civil War, not even in the age of yellow journalism at the turn of the 20th century.
  • Joe Biden: ...After blasting Trump as a xenophobe and racist for the January 31 travel ban, Biden hemmed and hawed and finally conceded he agreed with the ban..."

The World Health Organization is facing a mounting backlash over its handling of China’s cover-up of the novel coronavirus.
WHO leaders, including Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, have run interference for China’s propaganda war meant to absolve the communist nation of responsibility for the global spread of COVID-19.

Now he wants a “Virtual” Convention, one where he doesn’t have to show up.
Gee, I wonder why?
Also, what ever happened to that phone call he told the Fake News he wanted to make to me?"

“Our rating: True,” the fact check determined.
“We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research,” according to USA Today. “There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises during Obama’s tenure. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded.”

Blame the Chinese Communist Party for the coronavirus crisis

Blame the Chinese Communist Party for the coronavirus crisis
  • Coronavirus crisis proves communism is still a grave threat to the entire world. If Beijing had just been honest, the pandemic could be preventable.
Image result for Chinese Communist Party for the coronavirus crisisAs the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the globe, one fact is increasingly clear: The Chinese Communist Party caused this crisis.
From the moment the coronavirus emerged in central China, Beijing has acted in a way that made a pandemic possible and then inevitable
  • It covered up what was happening in Wuhan. 
  • It silenced whistleblowers who sought to warn the world. 
  • It stole medical supplies from other countries, even while claiming the sickness was no big deal.
  • At every stage, the Chinese Communist Party has lied. 
Now at least 50,000 people have died. 
And the number is growing by the minute..."

"Democrats are calling for everybody to #BelieveAllExperts..."--Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today
"Democrats are calling for everybody to #BelieveAllExperts - but this idea has the same boundaries for them as #BelieveAllWomen that was concocted during the Kavanaugh hearings.
Image result for experts memeThe limit is when to believe either the "all experts" or "all women" reflect badly on the Democrat Party, its members or its preferred policies or outcomes.
The video, audio and print evidence proves the Trump administration was as a minimum, in line with the pronouncements of the "experts" - and the media - in December and January until they weren't - and the deviation for which the administration was criticized at the time was moving faster and being more restrictive than the "experts" and media thought they should have been., This, the video, audio and print evidence also proves.
For goodness sake, the New York Times continues to hit the President for his statements on a therapy (Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), sold under the brand name Plaquenil), used under physician supervision, that has been approved for widespread availability and use in Italy, one of the countries hardest hit, and is being tested in large studies in their own state of New York.
The hashtags are more accurately expressed as #BalieveSomeExperts and #BelieveSomeWomen.
There is literally nothing left in American life that the Democrats will not politicize

As budget passes, Cuomo says: 'The state has no money' - Washington Times

Andrew Cuomo speaks during a news conference against a backdrop of medical supplies at the Jacob Javits Center that will house a temporary hospital in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in New York. Cuomo, a Democrat, ripped the GOP-led Senate's version of the coronavirus package as "terrible" for New York and said, based on preliminary reports, that it would send the state some $4 billion in direct aid.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A $177 billion state budget passed by New York lawmakers Friday leaves leeway for spending cuts of as much as $10 billion as the full financial toll of the coronavirus outbreak becomes more clear.
The Democratic-controlled Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have not decided yet where to find cuts and are seeking more federal funding to help make up a potential loss of $10 billion to $15 billion in state tax revenue.

  • “The budget was difficult because the state has no money,” Cuomo said Friday..."
