Look at recent headlines and it’s as if COVID-19 were sweeping across the nation as some sort of grisly ghost of death, leaving piles of bodies in the morgues, piles of bodies in the nursing homes, piles of bodies in the hospitals — even piles of bodies in the streets. But do the math and the truth is far less earth-shattering.

The empirical evidence here suggests that religious institutions are of central importance of human flourishing and unlikely to accelerate the spread or return of the virus.

Good news! If you are under 65, in reasonably good health and do not have a vitamin D deficiency, you have only a tiny chance of dying from COVID-19. And if you are younger than 34, your chances of dying from the virus are so small as to be almost statistically undetectable.

Tara Reade’s sexual assault accusations against Vice President Joe Biden have forced Senate Democrats, Hollywood A listers and their media shills to change the narrative exposing what we always knew was a cynical plot against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Does the government work for us or do we work for the government? Formally, it works for us. We elect officials because we trust their judgment.

All the breathless praise of Cuomo’s actions as governor may not be warranted.

Americans are indeed unforgiving to presidents running on bad economies.

When the postmortem is done on the media’s coverage of COVID-19 (and it will be), it will be clear that the virus was no Black Plague — it’s not even the flu on a bad year.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) says she’s thrilled by the crash of the oil industry, which has cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and could put many U.S. producers out of business. “You absolutely love to see it,” she tweeted. “This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet.”

Present shutdowns, Barr warns, come perilously close to “house arrest.”

If anything is clear in the history of civilization, as well as that of the church, it is this: When you sacrifice human freedom for the sake of human safety, you almost always diminish the human being.

Attorney General William Barr has been magnificent in recent days. At a time of great constitutional distress, the attorney general is proving to be a calm, cool comfort who doesn’t just preach a good message, but follows through and actually, well — acts.

Mr. Obama has arrived on the battlefield just in time to shoot the wounded. The Democratic primary is over. Bernie Sanders is already waving the white flag. The multitudes once seeking the Democratic nomination have all surrendered. And here comes Mr. Obama in his mom shorts and oversized helmet riding a girl’s bike. Peddling vigorously yet carefully. Don’t want to scuff up his angel wings.

It is silly for people in media (or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi), most of whom have never managed anything, let alone something as complex as a hospital, to blame Trump for a shortage of face masks and ventilators. It is the job of hospital administrations, and, in the case of public hospitals, local mayors, governors and their public health officials to determine optimum levels of things that may be needed.

What the public sees on TV is the administration mobilizing federal, state and local governments, the entrepreneurial class and a brilliant selection of epidemiologists and virologists to find solutions to this dread disease.

The president has been listening to the right people in and around the White House. America is not a hospital ward. America is a vast country with the most successful economy ever. It is a capitalist economy. From time to time it is hit by unforeseen misfortunes. This time it was hit by an unforeseen virus, but the economy must go on.

President Trump has taken swift action to cut off the influx of foreigners from countries teeming with infection and on Monday laid out stringent new guidelines to halt the upward curve. Americans appear to be taking the directives seriously, So, time will tell if it all works. But 150 million infected? A million dead? Right now, those numbers just don’t seem to add up.

Joe Biden had a big night on Tuesday. The mainstream media is all over that story. Just as big of a story is what is happening in the Republican primaries in 2020. Unbelievable numbers of voters are turning out for President Trump.

Virginia counties leaving for West Virginia may be a longshot but movement has a greater purpose.

With the Boy Scouts in very serious trouble, you can hear raised glasses clinking in the gay bars and in The New York Times and The Washington Post newsrooms. These folks claim to want “inclusion” but it isn’t about that.

Washington Times

 President Trump is a great antidote to these divisions because he vocally celebrates and deliberately improves the lives of all Americans. Making and keeping America great is universal for all of our citizens and is colorblind.

The Democratic Party is in trouble with an elitist, condescending, sexist and even racist contender.

Washington Times

The best defense is a good offense, so Democrats are rattling their sabers again, not only threatening more impeachment nonsense but even revisiting the Brett Kavanaugh smear-a-thon.

Is it possible that President Trump has already beaten Sen. Bernard Sanders?
