George W. Bush Enjoys Positive Press for Tale of Pandemic Preparation
Get ready for a round of strange new respect for President George W. Bush. The man who is held personally responsible for the state and local failures of Hurricane Katrina is enjoying some positive press this weekend following the publication of a report detailing his efforts as president to prepare the United States for a viral outbreak.
The Trump Administration Hurt America When They Lied to Us About Masks
U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams one month ago told everyone in America to stop buying masks, claiming, “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus.”
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. The same cannot be said for our self-important Fourth Estate. 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.
Hillary’s Toxic Coronavirus Commentary Uses Dead Americans as a Political Weapon
Clinton took what ought to be an apolitical national crisis and exploited it to attack Trump.
U.S. Does Not Have Close to the Most Coronavirus Cases When Adjusted for Population
When the United States on Thursday overtook the rest of the world in reported cases of the coronavirus, it immediately drew international headlines. While technically true, this is a misleading metric because when those numbers are adjusted for population, the U.S. does not actually have close to the most cases.
Trump Should Make Daily Coronavirus Updates More Useful
The daily one-size-fits-all meetings dominated by Trump have been overshadowed by the typical banter between the president and reporters. This often drowns out important information.
Dems Want to Use Coronavirus Relief Bill to Seize Control of Elections
Nancy Pelosi is not going to let this public health crisis go to waste. The house speaker is holding much-needed economic relief hostage to gain for Democrats something they have long yearned for: more federal control over state elections.
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
Few entities have behaved worse during the COVID-19 pandemic than the World Health Organization, which has spent the entire crisis covering for the Chinese Communist Party.
Dems Try to Slip Environmental Schemes in Coronavirus Legislation
Congressional Democrats appear poised to slide green energy giveaways into legislation designed to boost the economy while aiding people suffering from the coronavirus pandemic.
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. In due time, we will also return to the debate about central planning versus free enterprise, government control versus personal liberty, and America versus socialism. Let’s hope that the public will stand ready once again to convict the misguided ideology and its policy disasters.
Trump’s 43 Virus Moves Aims for South Korea’s 99.3% Recovery Rate
The Trump administration’s speeded-up war on the coronavirus, 43 moves so far, is aimed at reaching the highest recovery rate possible and even matching that of South Korea. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams today set the Asian nation as a model the administration is aiming for, versus the disaster unfolding in Italy.
Administration Officials Praise Trump and That Sends Media Over the Edge
Even during a pandemic, it’s supremely difficult to take the national media seriously as they niggle over something so small as how administration officials (doctors and health experts) perform for them during press briefings.
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. The New York Democrat is one of many who’ve sadly decided to politicize the coronavirus crisis to push their political agenda. But even worse, the congresswoman is spreading disinformation to do it.
Western Media Parroting Chinese Communist Party Propaganda About Coronavirus
The truth is that China did absolutely everything wrong. One can only wonder what is motivating the Western journalists who pretend the contrary is true.
Trump’s Strategy to Contain Coronavirus Is Extreme But Necessary
President Trump’s strategy to contain the coronavirus and prevent its continued spread is exactly what the country needs.
Bye-Bye, Bernie
Those celebrating the defeat of American socialism tonight shouldn’t get cocky. As in other states, younger voters in Michigan overwhelmingly voted for Sanders. And it wasn’t because of his youthful charisma, but because of his message.
Trump Has Met His Hurricane Katrina, Media Declare for the Umpteenth Time
For nearly every mishap that has happened since Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, there has been someone in the news media to declare it his Katrina.
Coronavirus Is Also a Border Security Issue
Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX): The pro-open borders crowd in Congress and America’s wealthiest zip codes are quick to point out that there is no verified transmission of the COVID-19 virus as of yet at our border. They are less likely to tell you that more than 1,100 Chinese nationals were apprehended at our northern and southern borders last year, or that it is not unlikely that people from other countries afflicted by the virus are illegally slipping through our border today.
Elizabeth Warren’s Pandering and Dishonesty Brought Her Campaign to an End
In this presidential race, Warren tainted herself to the point that no one should be interested in her as a vice presidential nominee. It will be tempting, though, because Warren did prove to be good at one thing all veep candidates are supposed to do. She is an assassin. She utterly and deservedly destroyed Michael Bloomberg’s campaign on the debate stage.
Media Keep Endorsing Losers
Few things illustrate the disconnect between voters and the news media more clearly than the latter’s long track record of endorsing losers…In the 2020 Democratic primary, for example, reporters and pundits made a big deal of media outlets endorsing Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar.
