Bill de Blasio says NY Businesses Can Stay Closed For Months

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, The National Restaurant Association predicted that 11 percent of New York’s 25,000 restaurants will permanently close by the end of May and the entire travel and leisure industry will lose up to 68 percent of its jobs..."

“Coronavirus Committee Dems won’t let us investigate China’s cover-up,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) tweeted.
“Why? – China’s lies caused global suffering & economic devastation – China undermined our efforts to combat the virus – China is reportedly trying to steal our vaccine research 
They must be held accountable.”...

30K more registered voters than eligible voters in Detroit
"A government watchdog organization revealed that are more than 30,000 more registered voters on voter rolls in Detroit, Michigan, than there are citizens in the city who are eligible to vote.
As states like Michigan (DEMOCRATS) continue to press for mail-in ballots for voters in response to the coronavirus pandemic – and as President Donald Trump continues to challenge the procedure because if its increased vulnerability to voter fraud – Government Accountability Institute (GAI) Research Director Eric Eggers, argues that tens of thousands of ineligible voters could sway the election by receiving, voting and sending in mail-in ballots … especially in Detroit, with its fraudulent voter rolls..."

CDC admits to giving misleading COVID-19 testing data. Several states have been making the same mistake. - TheBlaze

CDC admits to giving misleading COVID-19 testing data. Several states have been making the same mistake. - TheBlaze:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admitted that it is combining viral and antibody tests when reporting its overall testing totals, a decision which scientists say paints an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic in America.
The test mix was first reported by NPR's WRLN station in Miami after a nationwide analysis found major discrepancies between state reports on testing and CDC reports.
"It's apples to oranges. The two tests measure two different things," said Mary Jo Trepka, a professor of epidemiology at Florida International University.

Senate passes bill removing rogue Chinese firms from US stock exchanges | Fox Business

Senate passes bill removing rogue Chinese firms from US stock exchanges | Fox Business:

The U.S. Senate has passed a bill boosting oversight of companies based in China and other nations that could lead to their removal from American stock exchanges.
The vote on the measure, introduced more than a year ago by Sens. John Kennedy, R-La., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., comes as Congress and the Trump administration seek ways to punish Beijing for its initial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
First identified in the Chinese province of Wuhan, the disease has infected 4.9 million people and killed more than 324,000. Efforts to curb its spread have halted global growth and sent unemployment in the U.S. spiking to nearly 15 percent, the highest since the Great Depression.

It gets scarier!-----The Obamagate Scandal Just Got Even Dirtier

The Obamagate Scandal Just Got Even Dirtier
"British spy Christopher Steele was offered money by Obama’s FBI to dig up dirt on Michael Flynn. 
The proposal came in the weeks before the 2016 election. 
This offer hasn’t received any press until now and was first reported by The Daily Caller. “The inspector general’s report, released on Dec. 9, 2019, said that FBI agents offered to pay Steele ‘significantly’ to collect intelligence from three separate ‘buckets’ that the bureau was pursuing as part of Crossfire Hurricane, its counterintelligence probe of four Trump campaign associates.”

...The Obama administration never had any empirical evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to testimony from top Obama officials.

The revelation adds a new layer of intrigue to the Obamagate scandal. 

...Prior to this revelation, it was not known that Steele had investigated Mike Flynn.

...Steele’s dossier on Donald Trump was filled with mostly bizarre, unsubstantiated claims, but was ultimately used by the Obama administration to justify a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign...

How they "think"-----Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You.

Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You. (from 7/15/2019)
"The president is a racist, in his words and his actions. 

Before you go clutching your pearls and extolling the virtues of “civility,” let me say this: put a sock in it. 

This is not a new revelation, nor is it something that we can continue to ignore as though it were coming from a drunk uncle at the family barbeque. 

Bigotry is dangerous and, in the hands of our nation’s commander-in-chief, it can mean an inability to recognize individual humanity and a failure to act with moral authority in times of crisis. 
...His “Make America Great Again” campaign was always about catering to our lowest common denominator-- a hateful sector of the electorate that believes themselves culturally superior by skin color and religion.
...Trump is not a fine person.  
His words Sunday were not racially “charged,” “fueled,” or “tinged.” 
They were unapologetically racist. 
And, if you support him, so are you. "

How long has this been going on?
What other Americans were targeted?

"I think there's a major fallacy in focusing on the 2016 election without understanding the bigger part of the picture: *why* bad actors in intel community were so desperate to not have Trump elected. 
It's about what could be discovered about the past 10-20 years. 
Not just 2016. "
