Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Is Not Vice-Presidential Material
Just a year into the job, Whitmer’s tenure as governor has already been a categorical disaster. While campaigning, she promised to “fix the damn roads,” only to propose doing so, once in office, by tripling the gas tax…Now, Michigan has become a coronavirus hot spot, putting both Whitmer’s sheer incompetence and petty authoritarianism on full display.
No, Coronavirus Isn’t the Result of Racism
Black people are being hit especially hard by the coronavirus. This has already prompted multiple commentators, and even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself, to deem this microscopic pathogen a racist and even demand reparations for slavery as part of the next coronavirus relief package.
Bernie Is Done, But His Ideas Live on in an Ideologically Bankrupt Party
Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign may have just ended, but his movement lives on. The Democratic National Committee should be worried.
Why Do the Media Want to Divide Coronavirus into a Red vs Blue Issue?

No Institution Has Failed the Public Worse Than the News Media During the Pandemic
It seems impossible considering the federal government’s sluggish, incoherent, and unfocused handling of this crisis. But even the federal government has managed to get some things right.

From the very beginning, corporate media got the story wrong, publishing article after article assuring readers that the virus was not as dangerous as it sounded.
Pelosi Uses Coronavirus Crisis to Push Tax Relief for Blue-State Millionaires
With millions having lost their jobs as a result of the national shutdown aimed at mitigating the death toll of the coronavirus pandemic, Congress, in a rare moment of bipartisan unity, rushed to pass a $2.2 trillion relief package. Yet, the effort was delayed as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to exploit the process to realize a long list of completely irrelevant liberal policy goals.
Trump Should Cut the Drama and Pettiness Out of His Coronavirus Response
This is a time for the president to be rising above the fray and to be calling for national unity. He should be focusing press briefings on informing the public about the response to the coronavirus. Which brings up another point: on Sunday, Trump fired off a series of tweets boasting about the great ratings for his press briefings. It is just absolutely bizarre for the president, in the midst of a pandemic that has already claimed thousands of lives, to be boasting about TV ratings for what should be informational public health briefings.

Rejoicing Over Coronavirus’ “Green” Benefits Is Misguided
There is something macabre about the exultation of these activists and their millions of supporters of this crisis while thousands die, millions are isolated, and millions more are financially ruined amid a major recession. The environmentalists’ claim that “the answer in front of us” is a complete and indefinite lockdown of our everyday life.
The World Health Organization Is the Last Entity That Should Be Telling People How to Talk About COVID-19

Coronavirus Will Fade, But the Threat of Socialism Will Remain
In due time, the coronavirus will pass, and life in the U.S. will return to normal.

AOC Spreads Disinformation to Push Socialism and Coronavirus Panic
Never let a good crisis go to waste, right? That’s apparently the philosophy of socialist upstart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
