The Atlantic raises eyebrows after urging Biden to simply 'stay alive' to defeat Trump

Fox News  "A piece published in The Atlantic made the argument this week that the "idea" of former Vice President Joe Biden is enough to defeat President Trump in November and that in order to do so, Biden would simply have to "stay alive."
" 'Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence," Atlantic contributing writer Alex Wagner wrote on Tuesday in a piece titled "Stay Alive, Joe Biden."
"Wagner suggested that Democratic voters are so eager to oust Trump that Biden's ongoing campaign has less weight than his decades-old familiarity.
" 'Voters seem to have coalesced around Biden for his past -- who they have known him to be for the past four decades in American politics -- rather than for anything in his present. It’s as if Biden exists primarily as an idea, rather than an actual candidate," Wagner wrote. "Democrats have chosen Biden as their vessel for Trump’s defeat, and that choice is the entire point: The vanquishing matters more than anything else."
"She went on to make the case that the coronavirus effect on the 2020 election shouldn't weaken Biden's campaign as long as his team keeps the former vice president "alive in the American imagination.' "

"People publicly mocked others. This person, "Methy Anne," noted that not only the back of this pick up was loaded with toilet paper but it was also driven by a Trump supporter. Someone with the name "Methy" probably should stay in her lane. Just a thought." . . .

Senate Passes Coronavirus Bill, Proving Pelosi Gambled With Americans' Lives and Lost*

"We can only hope that when November comes around and this is all a distant memory, people can summon up the sense of revulsion they must feel now against the morally bankrupt, opportunistic Democrats and vote accordingly." Andrea Widburg, below

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Pelosi Caves  . . . "One can only imagine how bad the Democrats’ polling must have been to cause such a hasty retreat. The Democrats had no one behind them except their most extremist supporters, like the New York Times."

After first lying about her corrupt bill, Pelosi has finally agreed to abandon it

. . . "If the coronavirus had hit America with a Democrat in the White House and a Democrat majority in Congress, by Monday's end, a new law would have

• raised the federal minimum wage to $15,
• subsidized student loan debt,
• provided more funds for PBS,
• funded the IRS and the Postal Service,
• mandated race and gender diversity for corporate boards,
• implemented same-day voter registration, and
• required airplanes to be carbon neutral in five years,

"as well as a host of other initiatives pandering to social justice, environmental, and union concerns — and all of it would ostensibly have been done to protect American workers from the coronavirus's ravages on the economy." . . .


*Senate Passes Coronavirus Bill, Proving Pelosi Gambled With Americans' Lives and Lost  . . . " 'Don’t treat this bill like a partisan Christmas list," Cruz added. He noted that he'd love to abolish the IRS, but he isn't submitting amendments to every spending bill to get his pet project in there." . . .
. . . "Americans should not soon forget that while Republicans rushed to act, Schumer and Pelosi blocked the bill, wasted precious time, and tried to ram their Christmas wish-list items down the throats of Americans in the middle of a crisis."
CNN still loves you, Democrats.

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.

 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 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?

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

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.

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.
