We know Biden has roaming hands, but how far have they roamed?

Andrea Widburg  "Before you even begin to read this post, remember what Hillary Clinton, the voice of the left in 2015, said about sexual assault allegations: “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” With that fixed in your mind, it’s time to talk about Joe Biden.
"The #MeToo movement in America reached its crescendo in 2017. The diminuendo phase happened soon after, when it seemed as if every Democrat man in America, especially in Hollywood and the media, had been playing fast and loose with women, even while pandering to feminists.
"Up until spring 2019, when he began his presidential run, Joe Biden seemed immune. That was when, Lucy Flores, a Bernie Sanders supporter, claimed that, in 2014, when he was still Vice President, Joe Biden touched her inappropriately and kissed her head at a campaign rally. In other words, she claimed that he did to her what he did to the women and girls in this video: . . .

"Biden denied the accusation. And because Biden seemed like the best hope to beat President Trump, he got a pass. (Recall that, back in 1998, feminist reporter Nina Burleigh said of Clinton, “I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal.” Politics before principles....)" . . .   Full article

We'll see if this turns out to be true or if Joe is getting the Kavanaugh treatment. 

How Do We Flatten the Curve on Panic?

 Ann Coulter  . . . "Only coronavirus deaths are considered newsworthy.
"We’re told by the “Quarantine Everybody” crowd: Listen to the scientists! Unfortunately, most of the “scientists” they present to us are lawyers. (How did Robert Reich, Donna Shalala and Ron Klain become medical professionals?)
"Also, the scientists disagree.
"Just as, I assume, they did in 1976, when epidemiologists warned of another 1918 Spanish flu pandemic after a few young Army recruits died of swine flu at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Eight months later, the federal government launched a mandatory swine flu vaccination program.
"About a quarter of the country was vaccinated before the program was abruptly shut down. No pandemic had materialized. The virus infected a few people, then vanished. But directly as a result of receiving the vaccine, dozens of Americans died and several hundred acquired Guillain-Barre syndrome." . . .

"But how would he get it?
"Simple -- drop a couple of atomic bombs.
"But what about the fallout?
""Oh," said the geologist, "that's not my field."
"Today, the epidemiologists are prepared to nuke the entire American economy to kill a virus.
"What about the jobs, the suicides, the heart attacks, the lost careers, the destruction of America’s wealth?

"Oh, that's not my field."

How do you solve a problem like Pelosi?

"One has to look no further than Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, to know how the family operates. The younger Ms. Pelosi proudly asserted that Rand Paul’s neighbor was right to attack him and Paul lost part of his lung to that attack."  Patricia McCarthy

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

How do you solve a problem like Pelosi?  . . . "So when it seemed that Sen. Schumer was reaching a deal with the Republicans on a rescue bill for the millions suddenly out of work due to the shutdown of nearly all businesses, she rushed in to ruin the day.  She is a one-woman terminator and there is not one Democrat in Congress who has the guts to stand up to her.  Every one of them cowers rather than invite her wrath.   She must have a little black book with the goods on each of them.  They are cowards all and probably crooks as well.  Surely Adam Schiff fills that bill." . . .

After first lying about her corrupt bill, Pelosi has finally agreed to abandon it . . . "When Bash politely expressed some mild concerns, Pelosi got so flustered that she advanced multiple thoughts without finishing a single one and without explaining coherently why any of her leftist boondoggles deserved to go forward:"... Pelosi's stammering video with Bash. From CNN of all places!

One can only imagine how bad the Democrats’ polling must have been to cause such a hasty retreat.

The Dems are the Virus Threatening America  . . . "Americans want relief from the Chinese Wuhan virus and Pelosi offers them nothing but Green New Deal pork and carve-outs to key Democratic constituencies." . . .

Political Malpractice

Is This the End of Recycling?

The Atlantic

Americans are consuming more and more stuff. Now that other countries won’t take our papers and plastics, they’re ending up in the trash.

"After decades of earnest public-information campaigns, Americans are finally recycling. Airports, malls, schools, and office buildings across the country have bins for plastic bottles and aluminum cans and newspapers. In some cities, you can be fined if inspectors discover that you haven’t recycled appropriately.

"But now much of that carefully sorted recycling is ending up in the trash.

"For decades, we were sending the bulk of our recycling to China—tons and tons of it, sent over on ships to be made into goods such as shoes and bags and new plastic products. But last year, the country restricted imports of certain recyclables, including mixed paper—magazines, office paper, junk mail—and most plastics. Waste-management companies across the country are telling towns, cities, and counties that there is no longer a market for their recycling. These municipalities have two choices: pay much higher rates to get rid of recycling, or throw it all away.

"Most are choosing the latter. “We are doing our best to be environmentally responsible, but we can’t afford it,” said Judie Milner, the city manager of Franklin, New Hampshire." . . .

Our Garbage Media in One Story

PowerLine  "We noted here a couple days ago how the New York Times actually appeared to be reporting the truth about congressional Democrats for a change. Well, it didn’t last long, as this progression makes clear. They must have got the memo from Nancy." . . .

Democrats Are Really Bad People

"You’d think there would be a revolt, that enough Democrats, or at least some, would stand up to Pelosi and Schumer. You’d be wrong. They are in unison; they are one – a hive mind."

Der Schumerglower

Derek Hunter  . . . "The shame that Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Murphy, and all the rest should feel (but don’t) must never be forgotten, and they should never be allowed to hide from it. Saving the economy of the United States from collapse is not the venue to insist on “Green” agenda items and payoffs to unions. Yet these piles of human garbage are counting on a few things they know will give them cover in order to play this game of Russian Roulette…with the gun to the heads of Americans." . . .
. . . "Second, they have accomplices in the media willing to lie for them. Since most people simply consume news the way an ant consumes a discarded candy bar, they have no idea they’re being lied to or only told part of the story. That a Rachel Maddow or Margaret Sullivan are demanding networks stop carrying President Trump’s daily Coronavirus Task Force’s briefings won’t register will the public because most of the public has no idea who those people are. And if the briefings disappear, the assumption will be they’ve stopped. They won’t know how progressive activists with press credentials pressured them to aid the Democratic Party, killing the dissemination of information because it made the President look too good, too in command." . . . 

Republicans vs Democrats and their media

This is journalism or propaganda?

Democrats and Schumer surrendering on Senate coronavirus stimulus bill
. . . "Shanghai Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Democrats have given way on more than several budget proposals they tried to include in the bill that had nothing to do with the virus." . . .

Democrats kill coronavirus relief package and New York Times editorial board 
blames Republicans   . . . "Well, that's what the New York Times editorial board said. Maybe someone needs to explain it to them.

“The Coronavirus Bailout Stalled. And It’s Mitch McConnell’s Fault,” declares the board's headline. The subhead adds, “Senate Republicans are blocking passage of an economic bailout plan that protects jobs and wages.”

"Democrats put partisan politics ahead of efforts to halt the coronavirus pandemic and prevent the collapse of the U.S. economy. This isn't hard to understand unless you don't want to." . . .

• Nullifies the White House executive orders on federal collective bargaining and codifies taxpayer-funded union official time.

• Requires a labor union representative on every airline’s board of directors.

• Multiemployer pension bailout lacking needed reforms.

• Permanently raises the minimum wage to $15 for any business that receives federal aid for COVID-19.

• Cancels all debt owed by the U.S. Postal Service to the Treasury.

Under the heading “Green New Deal priorities”:• Requires all airlines that receive assistance to offset carbon emissions for domestic flights by 2025.

• Includes a $1 billion “cash for clunkers” airplane program where the Transportation Department buys fuel-inefficient planes from airlines in exchange for agreeing to buy new ones.

• Includes expansive new tax-credit for solar and wind energy.

Much more here including, but not limited to:

• Would allow certain funding to go to sanctuary cities.• Permanent expansion of Obamacare entitlement, “putting the American taxpayer on the hook for endless and unchecked health insurance spending and would remove all incentives for insurers to reduce the cost of health insurance.”

The Media Lied About A Tragic Poisoning To Vilify Trump

At least some outlets had the decency to correct their error.

Axios
We have deleted this tweet and corrected our story because it did not reflect the full nature of the self-medication done with an additive commonly used to clean fish tanks. https://axios.com/chloroquine-coronavirus-death-09c91a91-4fe7-472c-9de9-79b890aa8fff.html

The Federalist   "Over the past week President Donald Trump and others have touted the promise of certain anti-malarial drugs to potentially help treat victims of the Chinese virus. Among those drugs is chloroquine.
"This week an elderly couple consumed chloroquine phosphate (not the same thing) contained in a fish tank cleaning product. The husband died, the wife went to the ICU. So what did the media do? What do they always do? They blamed Trump.
"Neither chloroquine nor chloroquine phosphate is something the president suggested people should start to consume on their own, and they aren’t even the same compound. What Trump said, which is true, is that there have been positive studies on chloroquine, and we need to ramp up more testing fast. But that didn’t stop headlines and tweets like this one from Buzzfeed.

A man died after taking chloroquine phosphate, the drug Trump's touted as a potential COVID-19 treatment, via a fish tank additive. His wife is in critical, but stable condition, Banner Health said, imploring people not to self medicate

 "This latest bit of fictional outrage porn is particularly vile, as Americans need to come together to fight this virus. But just like Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats trying to use the outbreak for political gain, the media is using it to smear Trump. The good news is, so far they are failing badly."

Nancy Pelosi’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Decision To Hold The Country Hostage; Sen. Cotton video

First this: Pelosi’s Coronavirus Stimulus Bill Mentions ‘Diversity’ 32 Times

1,100-page bill would force all corporations receiving aid to fund 'inclusion initiatives' for at least 5 years

McConnell was absent from early negotiations, providing zero cover while Mnuchin, a former Democrat with a bipartisan reputation as a terrible negotiator, surrendered on the president’s asks. The president himself fluctuated between defensive and tired, giving an Oval Office address that was so poorly received he rebooted his communication strategy.

The Federalist
"This is not an emergency virus bill. It is a Democratic election wish list, at a time hundreds are dying, thousands are losing their businesses, and millions are out of work in the United States." 

"The weekend began with a bipartisan plan. People were hopeful. Outside of Washington, business owners told The Federalist they finally saw light in all the darkness. They thought they’d be able to hire their employees back again. These are employees who have families, mortgages, and lives; people who have never once asked for public assistance and never thought they’d have to.
"The mood in Washington was optimistic as well. “We’re having good bipartisan agreements,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN Saturday, predicting a Monday passage of their plan. “The initial bill Leader [Mitch] McConnell put in didn’t have any Democratic input and we were worried that we just try to put it on the floor and not consult Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi because the House still has to pass this, but actually, to my delight and surprise, there has been a great deal of bipartisan cooperation thus far.”
" 'On Sunday, Schumer met four times with Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin to continue negotiations.
"And then Pelosi came back to town from her week-long vacation and announced the rare, rare bipartisan cooperation the country had seen in the Senate would end with her — and election politics would begin.
" 'Oh, I don’t know about Monday but we are still talking,” she said Sunday evening. “It’s on the Senate side now because that’s their deadline for a vote but we’ll be introducing our own bill and hopefully it’ll be compatible with that they discussed on the Senate.”
"It was difficult to guess how she’d do this with the House in recess, but on Monday her office miraculously introduced a 1,400-page bill. Miraculous, until it became clear she’d simply unloaded the Democratic Party’s election platform into a bill intended to save Americans from bankruptcy and death in the face of a global pandemic.
" 'The list of unrelated provisions is truly incredible. Pelosi’s emergency virus bill includes “collective bargaining… for federal workers,” a federal “study on climate mitigation efforts,” tax credits for wind and solar energy, and demands that the airlines involved buy carbon credits “to fully offset [their] annual carbon emissions.” It includes “same day [voter] registration,” national early voting and “grants for conducting” election audits." . . .

Tom Cotton Outlines Nancy Pelosi Emergency Relief Scheme…

Journey to Surrealville: What's really fueling Pelosi's shutdown of America's relief package?

— California's Gov. Gavin Newsom, New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Washington's Gov. Jay Inslee — three lefti-est of lefties — who have nothing but praise these days for President Trump?  How could they betray Democratic moneybags financing sources such as Google and Facebook and even Walmart, which have done so much good as their part of the collective effort?

Townhall

Monica Showalter  "After days of unusual comity between Republicans and Democrats in the coronavirus crisis, the big congressional economic aid package to help hospitals, laid off workers, and battered small businesses all came crashing down as Nancy Pelosi jetted in from vacation, blocking the set-to-go bill over the weekend.  In place of that, she came up with a 1,400-nightmare political goody bag for the left — everything from ballot-harvesting to corporate diversity requirements to greenie airline regulations to a $15 minimum wage and a lot of other horrors — attempting to slip through the entire panoply of laws her party wants to enact but can't get passed.

"It was Pelosi's and other Democrats' doing, all right — just look at how the New York Times changed its headline sequence, first putting out the facts about Democrat road-blocking, then, likely after some Pelosian phone calls, softening the blame, and then declaring the whole thing a bipartisan morass.  Yeah, sure. 

"It's an outrage.  It's a mistake.  It's likely to get them thrown out for good from both the House and Senate come November.  As Roger Simon noted in his excellent piece, they're using a pandemic for political aims, suggesting they have no limits on how far they'll go to use any crisis for political gains.  They'd do the same in a nuclear attack, he points out, because they are that far gone.  Christopher Bedford at the Federalist has an excellent piece, too.

"Not surprisingly, Twitter hashtags such as #PelosiHatesAmericans and #DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica are leading trends on Twitter.  It's a sign that this is going to leave a mark on Democrats and isn't going down well.  Nurses need some decent masks right now.  Coronavirus patients need ventilators.  Small businesses need a lifeline.  Airlines and cruise ships need a lifeline, and yes, they are big corporations...that hire hundreds of thousands of workers.  American workers have seen $1,200 checks dangled in front of them...and are now seeing them pulled away from them like Lucy's football.

home with her family:
Vile: Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine endorses felony assault on Rand Paul

. . . The context of the sick tweet, according to Fox News, was someone stating that Sen. Mitt Romney, upon hearing of Paul's illness, decided to self-quarantine after hearing about Paul's misfortune in order to protect his wife, who has a medical condition that leaves her especially vulnerable.

"Instead of cheering Romney, which would have been a reasonable person's response, she decided to go low, lower than a dirt bug or beetle grub, by bringing up the violent 2017 assault on Paul by a hate-crazed neighbor, whose attack left Paul with five broken ribs and the loss of part of his lung — in order to cheer the criminal.  And this, right at the time when Paul is now afflicted by the coronavirus." . . .

Dems on a Death Trip as They Play Politics in a Pandemic

Roger Simon  "The Democrats are as addicted to politics, their version anyway, as a junkie in a homeless camp is to crack or meth.
"It’s as if they mainlined Rahm Emanuel’s neo-Leninist apothegm—“You never let a serious crisis go to waste”—straight to their Vena Cavas and can’t get enough of it.
" 'Now, that includes in a pandemic! What next? Nuclear war? Think of the possibilities! You could ask for almost anything—assuming there’s anybody left to ask.
"But Rahm’s watchwords (echoed recently by Rep. James Clyburn), it’s safe to predict, will prove to be a curse to himself and his party rather than anything to live (or die) by.
"When America’s most famously measured moderate—Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine—is angrily calling you out, you should know you’re in serious trouble!
"But the Dems don’t seem to be listening, at least as of this writing, and remain determined to squeeze every molecule of advantage while the nation and its healthcare professionals suffer. They also risk fully tanking the U.S. economy and affecting the welfare of its citizens for years.
. . . 

Example: Apparently one of the Dems’ demands was that airlines knuckle under to their carbon foot print strictures—this from the paleo-hypocrites who fly around endlessly in private jets. Who could’ve predicted it? (HINT: anyone breathing)

"That the airlines could go bankrupt means little to them (until they need to go some place)." . . .
