Fanning the flames of hate-----AOC Blames Trump for Illegal Immigrants Dying from Coronavirus in New York City
AOC Blames Trump for Illegal Immigrants Dying from Coronavirus in New York City
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told Democracy Now she blames the deaths of New Yorkers and those who are in the city illegally on President Trump and his administration's response to the ongoing pandemic of the Wuhan coronavirus.
..."Well, overall, you know not just President Trump but this entire administration knew what was coming. Trump knew this pandemic was coming...," Ocasio-Cortez said.
...Ocasio-Cortez added the deaths that are being caused by "the incompetence of this administration" has a "particular cruelty to undocumented immigrants. It is also a form of denial of the fact that many of these undocumented people pay taxes, they fund our public schools, and they fund the very public health system that they are being denied access to right now through the billions of dollars of taxes that they pay. Billions more — by the way, these undocumented workers pay billions more in taxes than Facebook does, than Amazon does, and then many other corporations do. And so when it comes to contributions to our public systems, they do far more than these — than these corporations do."...

Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown proposes $25,000 pay increase for essential workers
Fans of Best of the Web TodayChris Botkin shared a link.
"My employer has been working straight through this, in fact, production has been in overtime.
A co-worker today brought this to my attention.
He was extremely excited about getting a $25,000 bonus.
Hearing the name Sherrod Brown(D), I was skeptical.
Sure enough, it looks to me like a giveaway to AFSCME.

Sure enough, it looks to me like a giveaway to AFSCME.
At best, it offers funds to employers.
Mine might technically qualify by having food contracts with schools, although the wording implies a government gravy-train about to leave the station.
My first reaction was, "Where is all this money going to come from?"
After reading the "full text of the proposal" linked in the article, that's still my first question.
Hypocrite that I am, I would not refuse a wad of cash dropped in my lap.
Hypocrite that I am, I would not refuse a wad of cash dropped in my lap.
But it reminds me of this quote: “The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.” – Alexis de Tocqueville.
Sherrod Brown is hastening the twilight of the republic with our money -- as if it is not happening fast enough."

They got caught. They apologized. Yet, CBS News is still using misleading Italian hospital footage to describe COVID-19 conditions in the US. - TheBlaze:
Last week, CBS News admitted to an "editing mistake" after it got caught using footage of an overwhelmed Italian hospital while describing the coronavirus conditions in New York City.
In a statement to Fox News, a CBS spokesperson acknowledged the mistake and assured that it "took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows."
Yet, despite the admission and supposed subsequent actions, CBS News has continued to use the misleading footage. In a news segment April 4, the outlet used the footage again, this time while discussing the coronavirus outbreak in Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, a lot of professional media has been erring on the side of LOOK AT WHAT AMERICA HAS COME TO: THERE ARE SO MANY DEAD BODIES THEY HAVE TO START HIRING PEOPLE TO DIG MASS GRAVES.
The city cemetery on Hart Island is indeed tragic.
