Are We Witnessing a Targeted Hit Against Trump Voters?

Joe's pandemic plan

American Greatness

"If you tried to design an attack against the president’s supporters, you couldn’t do better than what the experts have done in the name of public health"

"It’s phony because “the economy” isn’t shut down. Far from it. Walmart is still open. Dollar General is open. Amazon is open. Alibaba is open.
"It just so happens that the big-box mass merchandisers and online retailers responsible for flooding our country with crap from Communist China are open.
"Meanwhile, other, very specific parts of the country are shut down.
Family-owned shops and workshops, the backbone of America, are closed. Fast-food franchises remain open—drive-through windows are operating at full tilt—but independently owned restaurants are shuttered or trying to survive at diminished capacity doing takeout only.
"Conveniently, if not coincidentally, small-business owners make up an important segment of Trump’s base. Like the president, they have signed the front of a paycheck, experienced the brunt of the well-meaning administrative state, and endured the predations of giant corporations and subsidized Chinese competition. That’s why they love President Trump–he understands what they go through.
"While these largely family-owned, small and medium-sized enterprises are laying off workers by the millions, Amazon and Walmart are hiring.
"In the energy industry, the big guys can weather the storm while small, independent producers are getting crushed as oil prices fall off the cliff along with demand." . . .

Outrage of the day

Don Surber

"What could be more outrageous than abortion mills remaining open in the COVID-19 lockdown?
"Birth tourism remaining open. For women from Red China. Rich women at that.
"The city of Orange, California, have yet to shut down JR Motel, which caters to rich women who give birth in the USA to bestow American citizenship on their progeny. The Orange County Register reported the city may get around to closing the operation down by the end of the month.
"Any other business in America would be shut down immediately, but for some reason, JR Motel is exempt.
"Did I mention its customers are rich?
"On December 17, the Register reported, "The JR Motel in Orange has no sign, takes no reservations and hasn’t paid any city hotel taxes.
" 'The motel openly caters to Chinese nationals as a maternity facility, a practice known as birth tourism. But that’s not the use permitted for the site, at 428 E. Lincoln Avenue. City officials in Orange are looking to revoke the motel’s permit, something the motel’s owner says is driven by discrimination." . . . More

Trump Reposts Damning Video Nancy Pelosi Deleted From Her Twitter Feed

Small business loan program runs out of money, no longer accepting applications
. . . "Last week, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asked Congress to allocate $250 billion more for the program. But a GOP attempt to approve it was rejected by Senate Democrats, who maintained that additional cash should include emergency funding for hospitals and states, as well as some changes to the small business aid program. Republican aides have said conservatives will reject any spending beyond the PPP." . . .

Nancy Pelosi Asked To Explain To Small Business Owners Why Dems Are Blocking Emergency Funding  "In February as Wuhan coronavirus raged around the world and was spreading in American communities, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a visit to San Francisco's Chinatown to berate President Trump for his travel ban to-and-from China. 
"According to the White House, Pelosi deleted video of the event from her Twitter feed. President Trump is reminding everyone about what she said."

Crazy Nancy Pelosi deleted this from her Twitter account. She wanted everyone to pack into Chinatown long after I closed the BORDER TO CHINA. Based on her statement, she is responsible for many deaths. She’s an incompetent, third-rate politician! Video

Barack Obama’s endorsement of Joe Biden is comedy gold

Spectator

A masterly performance, delivered with a straight face

"Anyone who doubts that Barack Obama has a sense of humor should take a look of his endorsement of Joe Biden to be president of the United States. Really, it’s a masterly performance, and delivered, mirabile dictu, with a straight face. Try it yourself. Grab a mirror. Assume your best ‘I’m-being-serious-and-sincere’ expression. Then say out loud that Joe Biden would bring ‘leadership guided by knowledge and experience, honesty and humility, empathy and grace’ to the Capital.

. . . 

"Last May in this space, I wrote an article called ‘Why Joe Biden can’t win’. Back then, many of Joe Biden’s signal liabilities were already obvious: his fogginess and ‘gaffes’, his astonishing corruption. The main thing he had going was his aura of normality, brittle but well-rehearsed. In comparison with fruitcakes like Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren, he seemed like a reassuring guy from headquarters. Since then, however, his verbal tics have degenerated into unmistakeable signs of mental deterioration. I’ve several times remarked that letting Joe Biden continue with his campaign was really a form of elder abuse. Barack Obama’s better-late-than-never endorsement cannot save the campaign of this doddering political relic." . . .

The New York Times Is Extremely Skeptical of Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Accusation Against Joe Biden. Imagine That.

Reason

"We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable."

. . . "It's an excruciatingly matter-of-fact article, bereft of the emotion and rhetorical flourishes that have often characterized the Times' past reporting on #MeToo stories. The Times' investigative piece on Deborah Ramirez, Brett Kavanaugh's Yale accuser, was headlined, "Brett Kavanaugh Fit in With the Privileged Kids. She Did Not." The paper also ran ostensibly objective pieces with headlines like "For Christine Blasey Ford, a Drastic Turn From a Quiet Life in Academia" and "With Caffeine and Determination, Christine Blasey Ford Relives Her Trauma." These were news articles, but it was not hard to detect an agenda: portray the accuser as so likable and sympathetic that readers would want to believe her."
   . . . 
"While the Times' dismissal of the existence of a pattern has attracted most of the derision, an earlier point is more obviously flawed. As Current Affairs editor Nathan Robinson points out, it is false to say that none of Biden's staff corroborated any part of her allegation. Reade has alleged that after she complained about sexual harassment, Biden's people punished her by taking away most of her duties, which included supervising the interns. The New York Times' story confirmed with two former interns that Reade "abruptly stopped supervising them in April, before the end of their internships." . . .

Tone-Deaf Pelosi Shows What Gives Her Comfort In These ‘Trying Times’
"Clueless in front of $30,000 in expensive double refrigerators and designer ice cream."

James Corden asks Nancy Pelosi to show off something in her home, and she's excited to share her supply of Easter chocolate, and her incredibly impressive supply of ice cream in the freezer. And Reggie Watts has a question for the Speaker.

Is Nancy Pelosi trying to be the most hated woman in America?  . . . "As you may recall, at the end of March, when Congress was working on its first stimulus bill, the Senate had reached a bipartisan agreement. Nancy Pelosi, however, flew into town, announced that the agreement was off, and the Democrat Senators meekly walked away. Then, in place of the negotiated agreement, Pelosi introduced a 1,200 page bill that was more focused on advancing a Democrat wish list (social justice issues, climate change, union support, etc.), than in helping Americans blindsided by an economic shutdown." . . .
. . . "It’s not a good look. Thankfully, this is not France in 1792, so Pelosi need not worry about keeping her head. (Although, interestingly, her own daughter said of her, “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.”) Still, it would be nice if San Franciscans would end their love affair with her and finally send this power-mad, multi-millionaire, limousine leftist packing." . . .

Small Business Loan Program Runs Out Of Money, No Longer Accepting Applications, Thanks To Democrats "It’s despicable. They’ll throw more people out of work and media will blame GOP and Trump when it’s Democrats who are blocking a clean bill and holding Americans hostage to get the pet programs through."

Again, why DO you watch CNN?

That channel long ago gave up any aspirations of being a source to be relied on for information. TD

At first unlikeable to me (I still feel Carly Fiorina is owed an apology for Trump's insult to her), this man has proven courageous in standing up for our nation against America's enemies, foreign and right here among us. 
Under Democrats, our ships were challenged by several rival countries whose militaries harrassed our ships, flying within feet of them and threatening our to attack.
Obama sent pallets of cash were sent to Iran in payment for hostages they were allowed to take by that same President. 

CNN Accuses Trump of Running ‘Propaganda Session’ During White House Briefing
"CNN is always looking to hit new lows."

 CNN Insists WH Video Using Media's Own Words Is Chinese 'Propaganda'

"Despite being constant critics of the president, CNN will throw themselves a pity party when they are the ones taking the heat from the White House. That was evident Monday evening into Tuesday morning as just about every CNN host and correspondent raged at President Trump for playing a video during Monday’s coronavirus task force briefing that called out some in the media for downplaying COVID-19.

"CNNers were so upset at the White House pushing back on their narrative that Trump cost American lives by not acting soon enough, that the network cut out of the briefing early to complain." . . .

. . . "Stelter also laughably took issue with Trump focusing on “the past”, seemingly not understanding that this video was a response to the media constantly harping about how Trump allegedly didn’t do enough in the past to respond to the virus.

"Later in the evening, hosts Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon couldn’t stop ranting at Trump’s “propaganda.” Not to be outdone, White House correspondent Jim Acosta amazingly deflected blame from his network shilling for China by saying that the White House video was Chinese propaganda paid by “your tax dollars”:            " . . .

Suppose Trump Had Acted Earlier Against the Wuhan Virus?  . . . "Too bad their energies are always directed against Trump, rather than subjects given only a brief glance, such as Benghazi, Hillary Clinton’s emails, the Steele/Brennan dossier, and real election interference.

"The New York Times, briefly distracted by rewriting their tweets describing Joe Biden being credibly accused of sexual assault, took up the role of drum major in the media’s Get Trump jihad." . . .

In New Book, Jon Karl Admits Press Is Full of Trump Haters, RIPS Acosta as 'Rude' Jerk  . . . "In the introduction on page XXII, Karl, the chief White House correspondent for ABC News slammed the President as a serial liar: “The president is waging a war on truth, helping to convince millions of Americans that real news is fake, that journalists are partisans out to get him.”

"But Karl then concedes:

“But the truth is that the mainstream media coverage of Donald Trump is relentlessly and exhaustively negative. His accomplishments – and there are accomplishments – are either ignored or overshadowed by the drumbeat of outrage fueled by his own outrageous behavior.” . . .

Comedian Argus Hamilton discusses CNN: "A Phoenix grandma visiting the zoo saved a woman from the clutches of a Jaguar with which she’d tried to take a selfie. She hurled a water bottle at the cat and then pulled the woman to safety. The next day, CNN reported that a white woman attacked an African immigrant and stole his lunch."

Joe Biden Flunks His First Attempt To Look Presidential

. . . "He started by calling for unity and inviting President Donald Trump to refrain from attacking his political opponents, saying the president’s daily briefings “are not a place for political attacks.” Then Biden proceeded to preview a lengthy political attack on Trump that he plans to use in the presidential campaign, accusing his likely opponent of worsening the crisis with a slow response.

"Biden has been caught repeatedly lying about the administration’s response. He falsely claimed that Trump cut the budgets at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute for Health. He lied when he said the World Health Organization “offered the testing kits that they have available” but “we refused them.” He used a doctored clip to make the deceptive claim that Trump had called the outbreak a hoax.

"So much for his promise to deliver the “unvarnished truth.” . . .

What would President Joe Biden's foreign policy look like?  . . . "What of the Middle East? 

"This will be interesting. Biden has adopted the general Democratic Party tone of major disenchantment toward Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In turn, we would expect Biden's victory to lead to a general decoupling of U.S.-Saudi interests, ultimately in Putin's favor. We would also expect a Biden presidency to seek America's restored involvement in the 2015 Iranian nuclear accord. That shift would consolidate the Iranian regime as it faces unprecedented financial, social, and public health pressures. Beyond the big two Middle Eastern powers, U.S. counterterrorism policy would likely remain generally the same as now, albeit with greater restrictions on more risky U.S. military operations" . . .

The most basic questions about Joe Biden have no clear answers and that should terrify Democrats  . . . "That a party's nominee for president should be competent, compelling, and coherent is supposed to be taken for granted. Edsall is saying that with Biden, it's not.

"Is there any doubt among Republicans that their candidate, President Trump, will be able to "negotiate the demands" of debates, press conferences, and speeches? No.

"How scary must that be for Democrats?"

NY Times deletes sentence about Joe Biden’s “hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable”

"In trying to exonerate Biden of sexual assault allegations by Tara Reade, the Times did more damage than help for Biden."

. . . "When Trump did restrict travel from China on January 31, he was called racist and xenophobic by a media and Democratic Party downplaying the virus threat. Can you imagine the howls from the NY Times and other media about ‘Trump the dictator’ if he took any of those steps just after his impeachment trial acquittal?

"On the other hand, the Times is running cover for Joe Biden. In a move reminiscent of how The Boston Globe tried repeatedly to exonerate Elizabeth Warren of her Native American deception, the Times tries to exonerate Biden of the allegations of sexual assault made by Tara Reade. We covered those allegation previously." . . .

Florida man, 26, 'commits murder' a DAY after being released from prison early to help prevent the spread of coronavirus

UK Daily Mail  "A Florida man has been arrested on suspicion of a murder committed just one day after he was freed from jail to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

"Joseph Williams, 26, was initially booked into Orient Road Jail on March 13 for possession of heroin (less than four grams), a third-degree felony, and possession drug paraphernalia, a first-degree misdemeanor.

" 'But on March 19 Williams was one of 164 inmates deemed low-risk who was allowed to leave custody following the issuance of Administrative Order 2020-018 which allows people to go free early to decrease the risk of contracting COVID-19 in crowded facilities."

"He left the Hillsborough County jail at 8.02am but by 10.40pm the next day, police were called to the scene of 8000 block of Ash Avenue in Tampa where a man had been shot dead.

"Williams is believed to be responsible for the second-degree murder. " . . .

The price of electing Democrats: “Operation Gridlock” Locks Down Lansing (MI) To Protest Whitmer’s Shutdown Overreach

Legal Insurrection

“ "the lineup of cars for the protest extended for miles outside of Lansing'”

"Rebellion was bound to happen in Michigan. The governor there is issuing decrees that make no sense and appear to attempt to take from the people all control of their lives.

"This is a losing strategy in America, with our long tradition of freedom and liberty, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer is likely watching her chance to be Joe Biden’s VP disappear as her diktats have enraged the population of her state.

"Yesterday, Mary wrote about the planned “Operation Gridlock” to jam Lansing with vehicles in protest of Whitmer’s overreach.

"The protest was a resounding success, with cars lined up for miles." . . .

"Not to be outdone, the Governor of Michigan has oredered some of the dumbest restrictions like banning people from buying seeds for a garden and gardening supplies."  "In a time where people should build gardens and grow their own food that woman in Michigan put an end to it." 

Liberalism, Like the Wuhan Virus, Will Never Die

Ann Coulter  "The media are outraged that President Trump is talking about re-opening the country, following their previous position that he sure was taking his sweet time at opening up the country.
"Fortunately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's death forecasts from the Wuhan coronavirus have shrunk from 1.7 million Americans in mid-March; to 100,000 to 200,000 two weeks ago, provided there were massive suppression efforts; to -- most recently -- 60,000.
"Every week, it seems, we’re another two weeks away from the “apex.”
. . . 
"By contrast, today the media are absolutely ghoulish in their hope for hydroxychloroquine to fail. The drug is approved for malaria patients, so it’s “safe”; it’s simply not approved specifically to treat the Chinese virus.
"The reason for the media’s hostility to hydroxychloroquine is obvious: Trump expressed enthusiasm for the treatment, so liberals are required to take the opposite position.
"It’s just like the Democrats’ recent infatuation with open borders. Until Trump, nearly every Democrat was for -- or claimed to be for -- border security, deporting criminal aliens and ending the anchor baby scam.
"But as the Times’ Frank Bruni said, Democrats are “defining themselves as antonyms to Trump.” Why else, he wondered, would Democrats push policies like open borders, “which won’t go down well with many of the voters the party needs”?
"Perhaps we could use this liberal neurosis to our advantage. To re-open the country, we need Trump to come out against it."

Governor Whitmer: one heartbeat away from being President?

Joe Biden Confirms One Name He's Considering for Vice President: Michigan's Governor  . . . "Whitmer, who endorsed Biden in March and serves as a co-chairwoman of his national campaign, said last month that she wouldn’t be his running mate,  The Detroit News reported." . . .   Seems doubtful to most, I'm sure.

Thousands Of Vehicles Expected In Lansing, MI, Today At Noon To Protest Radical Governor Whitmer’s Draconian Lockdown Measures  . . . "If you’d like an abortion, a fifth of whiskey or a bag of weed in Michigan, however, you’re in luck. Thanks to Governor Whitmer, not all services and products are off-limits to Michigan residents, only the ones she deems “non-essential.' ” . . .

Gretchen Whitmer Desperately Tries to Justify Her Orwellian Orders and Embarrasses Herself  . . . "Whitmer is clearly trying to sell the idea that her tyrannical hold on Michigan is no big deal but it seems that it definitely is. The petition to initiate a recall election for Whitmer that I reported about on Monday is now approaching 250,000 signatures with more being added by the second.

"Petition or not, it’s pretty obvious that Whitmer is feeling the heat from her own Orwellianism. This shallow attempt at justification either means she has no excuse except for shallow reasoning or she doesn’t care enough to come up with a better reason for stopping people from doing work in their own homes. 
"If she was being considered a candidate for Joe Biden’s running-mate, then I’m pretty sure the powers that be in the DNC are starting to look elsewhere. This is just wackadoo."

The Coronavirus Is Exposing Little Tyrants All Over The Country  . . . "Pandemic or not, this stuff has no place in American society. Petty tyranny of the kind these mayors and local officials are scheming is wholly alien to our customs and way of life, and destructive to the social contract on which our nation is built.
" 'Thankfully, the Department of Justice has taken notice of this fledgling authoritarian streak among the country’s mayors and governors. A DOJ spokesman said Saturday Attorney General William Barr is “monitoring” government regulation of religious services and may take action against local governments as early as this week." . . .
