“Before the president said anything about it, there was fair and balanced coverage of this very promising drug, and the fact that it had such a long track record that the risks were pretty well known,” he continued. “And as soon as he said something positive about it, the media has been on a jihad to discredit the drug. It’s quite strange.”

A point about keeping items like ventilators in inventory - technology moves at a rapid rate. --Fans of Best of the Web Today
"A point about keeping items like ventilators in inventory - technology moves at a rapid rate.
Technology based equipment, which most modern medical equipment is, becomes obsolete and unsupported over time.
Buying equipment for strategic inventories is fruitless unless there is a plan to rotate that inventory to keep it "fresh".
Buying such equipment would be like buying a computer today, then storing it for a decade and then unboxing it and expecting it to run current applications without a problem."

In the video, Owens explains that the church wanted to comply with social distancing rules while still meeting for worship.
The officer issues the citation, regardless.
"One of the police officers said the mayor wanted to make an example of our church," Temple Baptist Church Pastor Arthur Scott told Todd Starnes.
"I told them to get some more tickets ready because we will be preaching Sunday morning and Sunday night."
Team Trump to Jim Acosta: Here's Your Examples of Mail-In Voter Fraud
Team Trump to Jim Acosta: Here's Your Examples of Mail-In Voter Fraud:
The president’s re-election campaign responded quickly to Acosta’s request, noting there were nine people charged in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas with “vote harvesting” and mail ballots, a political operative in New York stealing and submitting absentee ballots, and a resident in Pennsylvania receiving seven separate ballots in the mail.
The campaign also shared a Heritage Foundation document of over 1,000 proven cases of vote fraud.
“Democrats and the mainstream media always scoff at claims of voter fraud, but then completely ignore evidence from across the country,”

Doctors fighting coronavirus face a ventilator Catch-22 — Quartz
"...Critical care doctors are beginning to worry that stress caused by invasive ventilation may contribute to the grim measures of fatality among Covid-19 patients on ventilators:
One recent study of 338 Covid-19 patients (pdf) in the UK who relied upon invasive ventilators to breathe found that two-thirds died.

Tucker Unpacks Connections Between Comcast’s Theme Park Deal In China And Favorable Coverage | The Daily Caller:
J. Arthur Bloom said Wednesday that American media outlets doing the bidding of the Chinese might not be entirely ideologically driven.
Bloom, a Daily Caller alum and managing editor of The American Conservative, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that Comcast had business ties to Beijing that could explain the company-wide trepidation in directly challenging the coronavirus claims coming out of China.

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.
Beginning a lengthy monologue on Tuesday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Fox News host discussed how once-dire COVID-19 projections “have been scaled back dramatically” in the wake of far lower numbers than any of the models anticipated, even taking social distancing measures into account.
