COVID-19 Madness

sunbeam August 12, 2020 Comments Off

The Democrats with the help of their media allies have been successful in perpetrating a hysteria about COVID-19. Most recently this has resulted in the announcement by the PAC-12 that they are cancelling their conference’s college football season. Of course, all but two of the schools in the conference are in states ruled by Democratic dictators like California’s Gavin Newsome. Newsome has gone so far as to say that there will be no return to normal until a vaccine is developed to eradicate the illness. Apparently his intent is to inflict as much misery on their residents as possible in hopes of defeating PDJT in November.

There will be never be a vaccine that meets Newsome’s requirements so I guess California colleges can forget about ever again having sports. Right now multiple studies have indicated that as many as 11 strains of the illness are floating around the world. Mutation of the virus is a given and will continue. The most one can expect is something like the flu shot that may or may not protect you from the strain that happens to get going in your area.

Censorship

As noted yesterday, the tech giants are hiding/banning posts about treatments for the coronavirus and the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). This comes despite a reputable recent major study and a new report from a Yale epidemiological expert that verifies the potential efficacy of HCQ.

Dr. Harvey Risch is a Yale epidemiology professor. Dr. Risch has authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently holds senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. He authored an op-ed that was published in Newsweek regarding the use of HCQ as an efficacious treatment for COVID-19.

Portland continues to be a source showing everyone in America what is really going on. On Friday, the US Attorney for Oregon announced the arrest of 18 individuals involved in the rioting in downtown. They are charged with a variety of federal offenses ranging from assaulting a federal officer to arson.

In a statement released Friday, Renn Cannon, the Special Agent in Charge at the FBI’s Portland office, said the agency had been helping investigate crimes on federal property in the city.

“Our investigations involve specific violations of federal law, including arson, the use of improvised explosive devices, and interstate transportation of stolen goods.”

Masks Do Not Work

In California one month after the Governor dictatorially ordered all state residents to wear masks in most settings, the average daily number of new coronavirus cases in the state has increased by over 160%. According to the governor’s order, there is “scientific evidence to suggest that use of cloth face coverings by the public during a pandemic could help reduce disease transmission.” Well at least it said “could” help. Clearly it has not.

Gaslighting

AOC (S-NY) obviously takes most Americans for fools. AOC must believe that, because she is a member of the House, that Americans will hang on her every word for insight and nuance. Recently AOC offered the following for the reason for the skyrocketing crime rate in NYC.

The Second Wave

There is a growing crescendo of opinion among the bobbleheads in the MSM that a second wave of the coronavirus is here. There has been a spike in cases in some southern states. This has led to finger-pointing by the media that these governors are putting people’s lives at risk by opening up their economies too quickly. One state, South Carolina, supposedly has seen new cases rise to around 2000 per day (The real count is closer to 700). Other states that have rational leadership in the governor’s mansion have seen similar rises. Is this “surge” real?

It turns out that there has been significant overcounting of the number of individuals with the coronavirus. According to the far-left publication, The Atlantic,

“Make America Pay Again.”

It is not an official campaign slogan for the Biden campaign but it should be. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, recently told campaign donors that, if elected, he plans to roll back most of PDJT’s tax cuts. Biden said,

“I’m going to get rid of the bulk of Trump’s $2 trillion tax cut. A lot of you may not like that, but I’m going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis.”

The month of May saw record-setting job gains. The May jobs report was expected to show job losses of 7 to 8 million. This was the analysis of the financial experts and Nobel laureate economists. Instead 2.5 million jobs were ADDED to the economy. Never in the history of the country have we seen a turnaround like this from one month to the next. The financial experts got the sign wrong!

More winning. The June jobs report is now available. The “experts” had predicted a gain of around 2.5 million jobs. However, the “experts” were way off again. June saw a growth of 4.8 million jobs, shattering the record set in May. In addition, the May numbers were revised upward by nearly 200,000 jobs.

#cancelNike

Nike is reporting a loss of $790 million (51 cents per share) for its most recent quarter. This compares to $989 net income a year ago, just before they made their ill-advised business decision about Colin Kaepernick. Everyone remembers Nike went all-in on their social justice model to make Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick the image of their brand.

Nike has been trying various approaches to hide the absolutely devastating effect that decision has had on their business. Nike knows how bad a decision this was. How many times have you seen a Nike commercial this year that featured Kaepernick as their brand image?

Truth

PDJT has said numerous times that the most dangerous cities in the country are run by Democrats and, in most cases, have been for decades. The Washington Post published an article that went to great lengths to prove him wrong. This is what they came up with.

So, Is PDJT correct? Well, not ALL cities are currently run by Democrats. Jacksonville elected a Republican for the first time in decades during their last mayoral election. San Antonio has non-partisan elections. Their mayor is far left. ...
