How can anyone of sound mind trust or respect Democrats?

First, we saw Democrats and their treatment of Judge Kavanaugh, then in the impeachment demagoguery, their childish behavior during States of the Union addresses, nightly angry briefings on TV. So did you expect them to act with classy bipartisanship during this health crisis?

GOP Chair Explains, In Terrific Thread, What Dems Were Doing While Admin Has Been Working to Address Wuhan Virus  . . . "Democrats including Joe Biden have lied about Trump saying it was a hoax. Lied about saying the CDC was cut. Lied about Trump muzzling scientists. Biden even put out an ad including the lies, trying to stoke more angst." . . .

The Democrat’s Wuhan Coronavirus Bill Is Disgraceful, Partisan Trash

"They just can’t help themselves.
"In the face of a declared pandemic, you’d hope that Democrats in the House could put together a decent, clean bill that addresses only immediate issues dealing with the response to the Wuhan coronavirus. That seems like a perfectly reasonable expectation for people who are trusted to do what’s best for the country. But nope, instead of looking to pass something with bi-partisan support that doesn’t contain contentious provisions, Nancy Pelosi decided to do what she always does. Namely, load the bill up with unrelated pork and abortion funding.
"How bad is it? Here’s a thread laying out some of the details.
. . . 
"The last thing this country needs is to start destroying small businesses that are already cash strapped in the midst of this crisis. But Democrats want to not only mandate largely unaffordable giveaways during the Wuhan virus outbreak, they want to mandate it forever. Your average business owner with 5-10 employees simply can not afford to give 14 paid sick leave (not mentioned in the above tweet, but that’s one of the provisions) to their employees during a pandemic, plus another 7 days of paid leave in non-emergency situations. That’s insanity. Heck, most businesses with 50-100 employees can’t even afford that. If the Democrats succeeded in their quest, it would absolutely tank the job market.
"It keeps going though." . . .

A new video of Biden emerges, again showing an old, confused man

Branco

Andrea Widburg  "On Tuesday, a viral video showed Biden exploding with rage when a union construction worker asked him how he was going to appeal to the average union man, considering his hostility to the Second Amendment.  Rather than engaging with the man in civil terms, Biden instantly told him, "You're full of s---."  The engagement went downhill from there.
"A short time later, another video taken later the same day emerged.  This one showed Biden walking to his car, surrounded by aides.  As he walked, reporters peppered him with questions about his interaction with the construction worker and about the coronavirus.  Biden appeared to ignore all the questions but for one: a reporter asked him if he had any regrets about his interaction with the voter regarding guns.  Biden had a short response:
" 'Well, I'm surprised that Sanders is joining Trump." . . .

Biden Herded into Car After Nonsensical 'Sanders Is Joining Trump' Statement  

. . . "It’s important to note that not only did this “answer” not have anything to do with the question, it appeared that it wasn’t a response to anything asked by the crowd. It’s unclear what point Biden was trying to get across, if any.
"Although this answer was painted as a “pivot,” it’s clear that the head-scratching statement came out of nowhere.
"Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, still fighting a race against Biden that appears bleaker by the day, is far from teaming up with President Donald Trump. By all measurements, the avowed socialist Sanders is the polar opposite of real-estate mogul and fiery conservative Trump.
"While this latest “gaffe” could be the result of the stresses of the campaign trail, it follows numerous calls for Biden’s mental health to be evaluated."

WATCH: California Gov. Newsom refutes media narrative, says Trump has said and done ‘everything I could have hoped for’ on coronavirus "California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom gave President Donald Trump and his administration full credit for an effective and satisfactory response to the growing coronavirus problem in his state, according to Newsweek.
"As the country deals with the spread of the virus and a continued shortage of available tests, the Trump administration has been criticized heavily by Democratic politicians and the media. Newsom, however, is pleased with how Trump has handled the crisis." . . .

The attempt came just days before scheduled to appear in court over sanctions related to an investigation of Julian Assange.

"The statement came only a few days before Manning was scheduled to appear at a court hearing on whether sanctions imposed on her after she refused to comply with a grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should continue. Manning came to national attention after she leaked classified documents to WikiLeaks and was court-martialed for violating the Espionage Act.

"Manning has claimed that the grand jury investigation was potentially open to abuse, writing in 2019 that it was “an effort to frighten journalists and publishers, who serve a crucial public good.” . . .

PBS reported Manning's leaks were more embarrassing than serious  . . . "The main impact of the leaks, he said, has been a “chilling effect” on foreign officials’ willingness to talk as freely with U.S. diplomats as they had before, according to a transcript of the testimony provided by the Press Freedom Foundation.

Hollywood Trashes Trump After Coronavirus Oval Office Address: ‘Dumbest Sack of Sh*t,’ ‘Lethally Destructive Narcissist’

Stephen Colbert: 'You're a Monster'

Breitbart  "The Hollywood left wasted no time to attack President Donald Trump after he addressed the nation from the Oval Office, calling for his removal from office after the president announced his plan to contain the Coronavirus and provide relief for Americans.

"Actress Rosanna Arquette was among the many celebrities calling for the end of Trump’s presidency, saying “his Psychosis has become normalized this is more dangerous than ever the evil empire must go ..vote blue no matter what.”
. . . 
"But for Hollywood it was an opportunity to trash the president. Check out their unhinged screeds below."

                            Read the comments of our national elite here.

CNN (a Hollywood go-to source) came up with their usual in their stated mission of getting Trump out of office:  ‘Xenophobia’? 

Jim Acosta                                                                                               Don Lemon                                                           

 

Dear Diary: Trump's coronavirus plan is...xenophobic. Signed, Jim Acosta  . . . "Meanwhile, Trump's swift action to contain the spread of the virus is precisely why the U.S. has been hit by the virus with far less intensely than Europe's nations, which, like Acosta, just didn't want to seem xenophobic by shutting down travel with China." . . .

CNN's Don Lemon beclowns himself again, launching into John Kasich for praising Trump   "John Kasich, a former Republican who's slid so far left he's probably a Democrat, is no fan of Donald Trump.

"But when he tried to say something on CNN, noting almost as an aside, that Trump's speech on coronavirus was "fine," CNN's most clownish talking head, Don Lemon, went into meltdown." . . .

"Look, I watched the address tonight and I thought it was fine. He did fine," Kasich said. "I'm glad he did the address tonight and I think that was important."However, none of that apparently sat well with the CNN anchor. . . .

How to Talk to Your Children About Elizabeth Warren

Ann Coulter  "Some people see Elizabeth Warren’s poor showing on Super Tuesday as just another Democratic hopeful losing her bid.
"I see something darker. I see the ugly heart that beats beneath our supposed “democracy.” Frankly, I’m afraid.
"Warren’s exit from the race is Brett Kavanaugh’s sneering grimace as he attempted to rape and murder Christine Blasey Ford [editor’s note: allegedly]; it is the smirks on the faces of those fascist 14-year-old anti-choice fanatics from Covington, Kentucky; it is our president constantly raping every woman in sight.
"To my children, I say, you will be OK. I won’t sugarcoat it — this is truly horrible. But once we have recovered from this devastating blow, life will go on. You will put one foot in front of the other and …
OH! IS LIFE EVEN WORTH LIVING ANYMORE???
"I know all women across America agree with me. After Warren dropped out, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell ran “Portraits of Grief” on his nightly show, featuring some of the victims of her failed bid. Rachel Maddow raced to Massachusetts for an exclusive interview with the heroine herself.
"And The New York Times published a piece by Sarah Smarsh titled, “I Am Burning With Fury and Grief Over Elizabeth Warren. And I Am Not Alone.”
"Let me remind you, the Times is the “Newspaper of Record.”
"Some say Smarsh’s op-ed reads like a parody of sexist stereotypes — emotional, childlike, devoid of logic. I say she has proved beyond cavil that Warren’s defeat is an American holocaust.

College Professor Who Had Swine Flu Notes Key Difference in Democrat-Media Complex's Hysteria Over Wuhan Virus

Tony Branco

Matt Vespa  . . . "Yet, with Wuhan Virus being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the panic will increase. It’s ridiculous. Is Wuhan serious? Yes. It’s not the Spanish flu. It’s not even Swine Flu. Prof. Jacobson knows something about the latter; he was infected and survived. And he noted that the liberal media was just as horrific in their coverage then as they are now. They blamed the GOP, just like they do now with Trump and WuFlu. Jacobson noted that the only difference between the 2009 and 2020 coverage is that this is an election year now. And the liberal media is doing the best it can to make this into Trump’s (via Legal Insurrection):. . . "

. . . "The media’s irresponsible coverage has caused the markets to drop and businesses to take unnecessary hits because of the hysteria. The liberal media has caused more damage than the Wuhan virus. The average age from someone who was killed by the Wuhan virus is 80. The elderly and the immunocompromised are and have always been the populations most at risk for death with a viral infection. The seasonal flu infects millions more each year. This year 32-49 million were infected, 560,000 were hospitalized, and 18,000-50,000 are estimated to have been killed by the flu this year. In 2009, the Swing Flu infected 60 million Americans and killed over 12,000." . . .

Iraqi Islamic Scholar Hadi Al-Modarresi Said Wuhan Virus ‘Divine Punishment’ Against Chinese, Just Got It

Weasel Zippers
Karma

Shi'ite Iraqi Islamic scholar Hadi Al-Modarresi, who is based in Qom, Iran, said in a video that was uploaded to the Internet on February 28, 2020 that the spread of coronavirus is undoubtedly an act of Allah that is divine punishment against the Chinese for their treatment, mockery, and disrespect towards Muslims and Islam. In early March, online sources reported that Al-Modarresi contracted coronavirus.

Hadi Al-Modarresi: "It is obvious that the spread of this virus is an act of Allah. How do we know this? The spread of the coronavirus began in China, an ancient and vast country, the population of which makes up one seventh of humanity. More than a billion people live in that country. The authorities in that country are tyrannical and they laid siege to more than a million Muslims and placed them under house arrest. The journalists in that country began to mock the niqab of Muslim women and they forced Muslim men to eat pork and drink wine. Allah sent a disease upon them and this disease laid siege to 40 million [Chinese people]. The same niqab that they mocked has been forced upon them, both men and women, by Allah, by means of the state authorities and officials.

[...]

"Islam forbade people from eating insects, but [the Chinese] mocked this matter. And there you have it, this disease spread from the world of animals – be it bats, ants, or snakes, the result is the same – to the human world and it has scared humanity in its entirety."

I Lived In Soviet Russia When Bernie Sanders Visited, And He’s A Communist Dupe

In this article:

Bernie Sanders Is Hopelessly Naive

Tony Branco

The Federalist

Bernie Sanders, a man who could be led astray so easily by KGB minders and a Potemkin tour of the USSR, should never be president of the United States.

"Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders likes to market himself as a wise old man who just happens to have clown hair but is right about everything, such as the War in Iraq. Yet his opposition to the Iraq War was dictated not by cool-headed geopolitical calculations, but the lifelong habit of romancing American enemies — as is typical for communism-lovers.
"The recently surfaced press conference Sanders gave following his return from his honeymoon in Yaroslavl, USSR, is a great example of leftist naïveté about totalitarian regimes. For Bernie to fawn over Soviet culture the way he did indicates a staggering degree of incuriosity. I was only 15 and growing up in Kharkiv, now Ukraine, when the couple visited the USSR, and I’m not impressed when I watch Sanders sing Moscow’s praises
"Start with the metro. Sanders said at the time, “The stations themselves were very beautiful, including many works of art, chandeliers that were beautiful. It was a very, very effective system.”
"It’s slightly creepy that Joseph Stalin initiated the tradition of building chthonian palaces underneath Soviet cities. The stations are beautiful, no doubt, but effectiveness is a whole different matter. Coverage was so-so, and the rush hour commute was a nightmare, so Sanders’ classification of the stations as “effective” is puzzling. People stuffed into trains like sardines.
"More importantly, metros were only built in cities with populations exceeding one million. Investing money into extravagant projects makes sense if the goal is to dazzle foreigners, but it’s also highly unwise considering that the condition of roads across Russia has always been atrocious. Traveling in the USSR, especially in provincial towns such as Yaroslavl, Sanders, an American man with a driver license, would take note of the state of the infrastructure — one would think." . . .

. . . "After moving to the United States, I no longer believe Bernie-types to be well-intentioned. Regardless, the man who could be led astray that easily should never be the president of the United States." . . .

Sharyl Attkisson: 6 questions we should be asking about coronavirus

Sharyl Attkisson

Coronavirus Image from: CDC

. . . "One death is too many — and with careful management and a lot of luck, the coronavirus sweeping the globe will be curbed, in terms of illness and loss of life. But in the heat of the moment, difficult questions have been raised that will persist beyond the current crisis. Here are six of them:

"Is self-quarantining good enough?

"Everyone would like to believe that anyone possibly exposed to a serious contagious disease would comply with self-quarantine requirements. But history teaches a different lesson. We need only look at TV personality Nancy Snyderman, a medical doctor who violated her Ebola self-quarantine in 2014. She had agreed to observe a voluntary 21-day quarantine in her New Jersey home after reporting in Liberia, where a photographer on her team contracted Ebola. Yet, Snyderman was spotted getting takeout soup from a local restaurant. (Continued…)

Hillary Clinton: The Most Investigated Innocent Person in America?

Why this epic rehash? Let's guess that Clinton thinks she should be running for reelection right now, and she wants all eyes back on her. Just like her nemesis former President Richard Nixon, she's always seeking to rehabilitate her image. Just like Nixon, she never will.  Tim Graham*

Paul S. Gardiner  "Hillary Rodham Clinton recently claimed that she is the most investigated innocent person in America.  Really?  No doubt, many of her supporters and admirers readily agree with her."... 
. . . ".Hillary Rodham Clinton most certainly is not the "most investigated innocent person in America."  Rather, she is a person who believes she is above the law and is being overly hounded by her political enemies.  If Mrs. Clinton is not fully held accountable for her actions described herein, there is no such thing as "no one is above the law" in America.  Furthermore, failing to hold Mrs. Clinton accountable establishes a dangerous precedent for others entrusted with highly classified government information to act in the same or similar manner with little or no fear of retribution.

Notwithstanding other potential criminal actions, it is truly time to hold Mrs. Clinton fully accountable for her failure to dutifully protect and secure highly classified communications entrusted to her care while serving as secretary of state.  These actions might be considered the "low-hanging fruit" that finally will allow justice to prevail in Mrs. Clinton's case.  Attorney General Barr, please take note.

Paul S. Gardiner is a retired Army officer, Vietnam veteran, and lover of America.  He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Alabama, and the United States Army War College.

*Who Needs an Epic Rehash of Hillary's Victimhood?  . . . "Every Clinton scandal is dismissed, if it's even mentioned. Whitewater was "ridiculous." Filegate and Travelgate are mentioned once in passing. The $100,000 she made in cattle futures in Little Rock, Arkansas, is never mentioned, even though the filmmakers show the 1994 press conference she put on to "explain" it. Benghazi? There was "nothing there." There was no time for The Clinton Foundation or Uranium One. Her private email server? Why bother?" . . .
. . . "Paula Jones was a story "nobody wanted to touch"; it was "icky." Juanita Broaddrick's allegations of rape against Bill Clinton? Never mentioned. A picture of then-candidate Donald Trump's press conference with Jones, Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey in 2016 was shown, but their names were not mentioned. It was simply referenced as "Trump pulled his stunt."

Hillary said she “dodged sniper fire” in Bosnia. I was there and knew that wasn’t true.
. . . "Today, that 2008 campaign tale that I reported on for CBS News remains one of the biggest election false claims of our time and one that I am still frequently asked about today." . . .
