Beware The Creeps Who Enjoy Their New Pandemic Power
Beware The Creeps Who Enjoy Their New Pandemic Power
"The problem with people referring to this bizarre pandemic life limbo as “the new normal” is that there are people out there, both in and out of positions of responsibility, who are digging this opportunity to boss us around.
...We need to note carefully who these people are and ensure that they never get a chance to control anything again.
...You also have functionaries – all of whom are still getting paychecks – who are way too eager to start issuing orders instead of relying on citizens to behave rationally.
...They are thinking, “Hey, this power stuff is fun!”
Which is why you should never give power to someone who enjoys it..."

How the democrats steal elections-----Detainees walk out of cells, into voting booths in Chicago | PBS NewsHour
Detainees walk out of cells, into voting booths in Chicago | PBS NewsHourCHICAGO (AP) — Sirjerathan Wilson never thought it was worth the trouble to vote and never had.
But inside Cook County Jail, Wilson sees it differently: voting is a chance to remind himself that his opinion matters and to show his family that he’s doing more than just letting one day bleed into the next.
“I felt good,” said Wilson, 28, who has been locked up on gun charges for seven months. “I felt like I was doing something right.”
Wilson is among over 1,200 detainees at the county lockup in Chicago doing something new in Illinois and, except for one small pilot at a women’s jail in California, something that may never have been undertaken in any jail in the United States.
They are casting their ballots in a polling place set up right inside the jail..."

Kimberly Guilfoyle: Trump Unites Private, Public Sectors Against Virus
Kimberly Guilfoyle: Trump Unites Private, Public Sectors Against Virus:
First, and maybe most critically, President Trump understood the need to quickly unleash the pioneering spirit of America’s private sector businesses. In coordination with government agencies, the President cut red tape and removed bureaucratic hurdles that were preventing companies from providing solutions and support their communities and customers.
This important action served to speed up testing and fast track treatments and cures. On March 11th, America was testing about 2,500 patients; today that number has expanded fifty-fold to now testing of 125,000 a day. Testing numbers continue to increase every day.
President Trump also understood that America was fighting a war against this virus, and that America’s healthcare workers were our soldiers on the frontlines.

The Inspector Who Never Inspected Anything - American Greatness
The Inspector Who Never Inspected Anything - American Greatness- Michael Atkinson used his post to protect himself and his allies while denying the American public a true watchdog over the intelligence community.
Can you identify a single instance of a report or letter in which Atkinson exposed intelligence community misconduct to the public?
After searching the inspector general’s website, I was unable to do so.
Atkinson was an inspector general in name only.
After two years, there’s no evidence that he lifted a finger to root out misconduct within the U.S. intelligence community.
He’s the inspector who never inspected anything..."

Tucker Carlson: Even With Epidemic ‘Receding,’ Discussing Getting Back To Normal ‘Has Become Taboo’ | The Daily Caller
Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out that, even with the coronavirus infection and death toll “receding,” it’s still “taboo” in many circles to discuss getting things back to normal in the United States.

86% of New Yorkers Who Died With Chinese Virus Had Other Illnesses, Conditions
86% of New Yorkers Who Died With Chinese Virus Had Other Illnesses, Conditions"Data released from New York state show that the vast majority of Empire Staters who supposedly died from the Chinese Virus had at least one underlying disease or condition, and that almost the same number of people were more than 60 years old.
And even those in a younger cohort who died also had other health problems called comorbidities.
The latest data show that healthy young people aren’t likely to die from the disease, and invite the question of why quarantines are directed at the whole population, rather than the most vulnerable — the sick and the elderly.
- The Numbers
Perhaps the most telling numbers are those that show the vast majority who have died suffered underlying illnesses or conditions: 4,732 out of 5,489 of the deceased, or 86.2 percent..."

It didn't take long after that estimate, which was alarming to many, for some of the more prominent projection models to revise their estimates downward. Fewer cases, fewer hospitalizations, fewer deaths. TheBlaze's Phil Shiver covered this in more detail here.
