CNN Proves Their Idiocy Again

sunbeam March 13, 2020 Comments Off

CNN has proven again and again just how much they hate PDJT and the Republicans. CNN hyped the Russian Collusion narrative for more than two years only to have it blow up in their face. Their efforts during the impeachment scam the Democrats tried were directed not at uncovering the truth but simply to get PDJT out of office by any means necessary.

CNN is now on to their next attempt to paint PDJT and the Republicans as evil people. The latest attempt is to try to frame the use of the term “Wuhan virus” or “foreign virus” or “Chinese corona virus” as being racist or xenophobic. Chris Cuomo led the attack.

A Good And Decent Man

Joe Biden appears to have some momentum as he is slowly increasing his delegate lead over Bernie Sanders. The chances that he can get sufficient delegates to win on the first ballot are going up. The DNC has coalesced around Biden and removed any impediments. All of those who might have siphoned votes away from Biden have been sidelined.

CrowdStrike Runs For The Hills

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is a cybersecurity technology company based in Sunnyvale, California. It provides endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services. The company has been involved in investigations of several high profile cyberattacks, including the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, and the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks.

CrowdStrike was part of the narrative that Russians had colluded with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. This was a result of the supposed hack of the DNC computers by the Russians. This conclusion was reached by CrowdStrike without the FBI or any other US law enforcement agency being allowed to review computers, servers, server logs, etc. CNN was in the forefront of reporting that the DNC had declined requests from the FBI to review its computer services.

The denial of access was reported on various media sites on both sides of the aisle. These included The Hill, CBS News, Washington Times, CNN and RedState.

With all this in mind, why is CrowdStrike trying to back away from this narrative now? That narrative is that CrowdStrike reported the results of their investigation to be Russian links to the hack of the DNC servers.

Great Numbers

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the February jobs report last week that showed 273,000 jobs added in February. This shattered the experts’ predictions that were expecting 175,000. At the same time the BLS updated January and Decembers numbers to reflect 85,000 more jobs than previously reported.

These revisions are an interesting sidelight of the business of reporting labor numbers. The initial numbers due reflect some incompleteness in the reporting so the updates are always instructive. During the Obama administration there were updates on both sides of the ledger. That is, a few months saw increases. Most saw decreases. During the Trump administration the updates have always shown underreporting during the initial release of the numbers. I wonder why that is.

Schumer Unhinged

sunbeam March 6, 2020 Comments Off

Most of the left has been driven insane by President Trump’s election. As many people are aware, PDJT’s ongoing successes has created a new mental condition known as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). TDS is the acute onset of mental derangement in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies and the presidency of Donald John Trump. TDS makes it extremely difficult for a person afflicted to act in the manner of a normal, rational person.

Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader, has now demonstrated to the entire world that he is afflicted with this mental condition. Schumer has lost any sense of good judgment. On Wednesday outside the Supreme Court at a rally in favor of murdering unborn children, Schumer was reduced to shouting out threats against the justices of the Supreme Court. How can this be the action of a normal, rational person? Has Chuck Schumer lost his mind? You be the judge.

DNC Primary Update

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden appear to be well on their way to providing America with the possibility of watching a circus unfold in Milwaukee this summer. The possibility of a brokered convention is rising. And it may be a lot worse than that. Bernie Bros are threatening to burn the city if Sanders does not get the nomination.

Anti-religious

sunbeam March 4, 2020 Comments Off

The anti-religious nature of the left was exposed by then Senator Obama during his 2008 campaign when he referred to many in middle America as “bitter clingers.” In those days it was directed at people who were Christian, who believed in Jesus Christ and the Bible. During his Presidency President Obama occasionally spoke of “the right to worship” but consistently moved against the free exercise of religion by Christians as defined in our Bill of Rights.

Perhaps the most glaring examples of this were the efforts by the Obama administration to force medical personnel to participate in the murdering of unborn children against their conscience. After the passage of Obamacare the Obama DOJ took several organizations to court to force them to fund coverage for such atrocities.

Once again, the bigotry of the Democrats towards people who believe in Jesus Christ raised its ugly head last week. PDJT has tasked VP Mike Pence to lead a task force on combatting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in this country. Pence held a meeting in the situation room at the White House that was reported to be quite productive. A picture emerged from the meeting showing the members of the task force with their heads bowed in prayer asking for God’s help at the start of the meeting.

Coronavirus Update

sunbeam March 2, 2020 Comments Off

The New England Journal of Medicine has published an editorial on Friday updating information about COVID-19. In their editorial the authors point out that the virus is structurally similar to the one that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003.

While the reported mortality rate has been between 2% and 3%, the facts emerging suggest that a significant number of people may contract the illness without major symptoms. Certainly in some it may present itself as little more than a mild case of the sniffles. The underlying data suggest that the symptoms vary, and fewer than one in six of the cases reported were “severe.”

So, many cases of the illness may go unreported. It may turn out that this is little more than a severe case of seasonal influenza. Those with weak immune systems may be particularly at risk of serious illness. However, most cases will not be severe.
