"Hate crimes towards Asians increase during coronavirus pandemic
A sociology professor says “rampant ignorance” and misinformation about the novel coronavirus has led to racist and xenophobic attacks against Asian Americans.

...And the impact ranges from physical to verbal to financial, according to a report by CNN.
The Anti-Defamation League and the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, along with 258 other groups, urged lawmakers to address the “growing tide of racism directed at the Asian-American community”...

...In early February, the New York Police Department posted a video online that showed an Asian woman at a subway station being assaulted by a stranger.
...Some Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have sought to portray coronavirus as a foreign illness that is China’s fault.
On Thursday, Trump called coronavirus a “Chinese Virus” in a tweet. 

In an Oval Office address last Wednesday announcing travel restrictions on Europe, Trump referred to coronavirus as a “foreign virus.”
CBS News White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang tweeted that a White House official called the novel coronavirus “Kung-Flu” to her face just yesterday..."

Trump Derangement Syndrome is Bad for Your Health | Power Line

Trump Derangement Syndrome is Bad for Your Health | Power Line
"...Even the New York Times can’t conceal this churlishness. 

Note their headline:

Senate Democrats block action on a trillion-dollar stimulus plan

...In voting to block action, Democrats risked a political backlash if they are seen as obstructing progress on a measure that is widely regarded as crucial to aid desperate Americans and buttress a flagging economy.

When you’ve lost the New York Times . . .

So why did Senate Democrats do this? 

My hunch is that they are in a panic about the fact that Trump’s approval ratings are rising at the moment, and they are desperate to keep Trump from having a “win” on policy...

...But it’s election year, and deranged Democrats are desperate. 

Charming people.

Chaser: Remember a few months ago when the media was complaining that Trump’s media team stopped holding daily press briefings that journalists could use as a backdrop to preen? 
Well guess what? 
Now the media is saying that they should stop covering Trump’s daily briefings about the COVID-19 crisis.

From the Washington Post’s “media columnist”:

The media must stop live-broadcasting Trump’s dangerous, destructive coronavirus briefings

More and more each day, President Trump is using his daily briefings as a substitute for the campaign rallies that have been forced into extinction by the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Media translation: Trump’s press briefings are working with the public. 

We have to stop that..."

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
Abstract--Summary

"There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. 

The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. 

In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller...

Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true...

In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research..."

CLIMATE WHORES | Thongchai Thailand

"THIS POST IS A CRITICAL REVIEW OF AN ARTICLE IN THE SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE ON OCEAN ACIDIFICATION WITH FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON CORAL REEFS DESCRIBED AS “RAPID INCREASE IN OCEAN ACIDITY PUTS CRUSTOSE CORALLINE ALGAE IN A GROWTH PREDICAMENT” [LINK] 

PART-1: WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS

"Ocean acidification is a chemistry experiment with our ocean that will profoundly alter global marine ecosystems as seawater absorbs carbon dioxide from our fossil fuel emissions...

PART-2: CRITICAL COMMENTARY

1. The argument put forth, that the observed rise in oceanic inorganic carbon concentration is driven by fossil fuel emissions, derives from the observation that rising oceanic inorganic carbon concentration and falling oceanic pH is observed during a time of fossil fuel emissions. 
2. However, this correspondence does not establish causation as the many comical examples of spurious correlations collected by Tyler Vigen clearly show [LINK] ... 
3. That a once venerable scientific publication like The Smithsonian would overlook these relevant data to make a climate change case against fossil fuel emissions is more evidence of a tragic pattern in the scientific literature where the the scientific method and the principles of objective scientific inquiry are apparently less important than the need to sell a climate change agenda against fossil fuel emissions.
4. Sadly, the Smithsonian is not the only example of this rot in science magazines and in science reporting. It is a trend that is changing once trusted publications into climate whores such that they are no longer seekers of truth but seekers of ways to sell anti fossil fuel activism by scaring people with the imagined horrors of climate change – such as ocean acidification with fossil fuel emissions..."

The Nuclear Option: Amid Pandemic, America Held Hostage by China

The Nuclear Option: Amid Pandemic, America Held Hostage by China:

Far more concerning is how deeply dependent American politicians have allowed our country to become on China.
After decades of appeasement, America sits hostage to China for so much manufacturing of vital goods, including the very types of drugs required to protect American citizens from the crazy infectious diseases that spring from China’s dirty “wet markets” and wildlife trade.
Hopefully, this current Chinese infection passes in short order and Americans can get back to their normal, healthy lives.

• Critics argue Gov. Evers’ crackdowns on private gatherings go too far.

MADISON, March 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Dane County, Wisconsin, home to the left-wing stronghold of Madison, has just launched an online tool for the express purpose of reporting to the authorities citizens who gather in groups of ten or more, in defiance of emergency measures ordered by Democrat Gov. Tony Evers to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

On Thursday, Public Health Madison and Dane County launched an online form for people to “report mass gatherings that are being held in Dane County” to law enforcement.
WKOW notes that violations of Evers’ order are punishable by up to a month in prison and/or a $500 fine...

These questions must be asked about how our nation should handle COVID-19. Public policymakers need to give us answers. - TheBlaze

"Here is the official CDC report on last year's flu season. 

..."Nationally, mortality attributed to pneumonia and influenza peaked two times at 7.7% during the weeks ending February 23rd and March 16th."

What this means is during those time periods last year, 7.7% of the people who contracted pneumonia and the flu ended up tragically dying. 

And that was with precautions we don't have yet for COVID-19 — vaccines, public awareness, etc. 

And yet, there was no call to "flatten the curve" during those spikes to save an overwhelmed medical system. 

Furthermore, CDC estimated 65 million Americans nationwide were afflicted with the flu during the 2018-19 flu season. 

...By comparison, as of Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, the current U.S. death rate from COVID-19 was 414 deaths out of 32,356 cases reported, or 1.27% of those whom we've confirmed have it so far have sadly perished. 

Of course, given the limited testing it's likely many more Americans than this currently have been exposed. 

And 50% of those 414 deaths were from two states alone (Washington & New York).,,

CNN’s Jake Tapper is admitting he knew Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a lie about President Trump on his Sunday show and he chose to not challenge or correct her.
This is a remarkable admission from an increasingly unstable CNN anchor, who just last week demanded the American president stop communicating directly with the American people.
