Liberal Reporter to President Trump: Do You Deserve Re-Election After Killing 55,000 Americans?

LifeNews  "After some uncertainty about the future of White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings, Monday’s edition went off without a hitch in the Rose Garden and the questions were relatively fair and uncontroversial.
"That was until New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi was granted the final question and, despite the adoration from fellow liberal journalists afterward, she stood on the graves of Americans lost in the Vietnam War when she asked President Trump whether
She's perfect for CNN
he
 “deserve[s]” a second term since more Americans have died from coronavirus than the war.
"Here was Nuzzi’s question: “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam war, does he deserve to be re-elected?”
"That’s not a question but rather shameless, bad faith baiting that would make even the Chinese government mouthpieces blush.
"Reacting to Nuzzi’s nonsense, our friend Mark Levin tweeted that she was the “inaugural winner of today’s Walter Duranty propagandist award.” 
Predictably, Nuzzi was already beloved among media elites and progressive charlatans, but her snarky piece of hate and propaganda made her even more endearing.
"Nuzzi insisted afterward that it wasn’t a “gotcha” question, but when it’s a question that correspondents from CGTN or RT would ask, it’s not a good look.
"Oftentimes, Trump would unload on the reporter and trash them for their truly unhelpful and partisan questioning. This time, however, Trump was surprisingly calm.
"Trump started by insisting that while “we’ve lost a lot of people,” the projections aren’t anywhere close to the worst-case scenarios. Most importantly, he added that the current total (over 55,000 as of the briefing) was “far too many” and “[o]ne person is far too many for this.”
"Again refusing to lose his temper, the President touted his travel restriction from China (with the caveat emphasizing that Americans should have been allowed to return), and the task force writ large under Vice President Mike Pence’s leadership.
"Trump then concluded: . . .

Norwegian Psychiatrist Claims Joe Biden is Suffering From “Dementia”

"Says condition has worsened “at galloping speed." We must watch carefully who will actually have the reins of power in our nation, should Democrats win this year. 
Paul Joseph Watson


"Norwegian psychiatrist Fred Heggen claims that Joe Biden is suffering from “dementia” and that his condition has worsened “at galloping speed.”
"In an opinion piece published by Nettavisen entitled ‘Why Democrats are rallying behind a possibly demented candidate?’, Heggen, who is also a medical director at the Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital’s psychiatric clinic in Oslo, says the presidential candidate is suffering from obvious cognitive failure.
"“Of course I may still judge him wrongly, but in my eyes he appears as a person who is already very affected by dementia. And the presidential election is still far ahead. What if his condition worsens further over the next two-three months?” Heggen asked.
"The psychiatrist asserts that Biden’s behavior at campaign events and debates over the past few months, characterized by “forgetfulness, mischief, confusions, gaffes, and aggression,” is indicative of someone who is beginning to struggle to perform basic mental functions.
"“This is not scare propaganda on my part. Everyone who has had experience with people with dementia knows that a deterioration can come quickly and have a particularly dramatic course,” Heggen wrote." . . .

This 2012 article from U.S. News & World Report:  Biden Unhinged! Vice President Joe Biden's smiles and laughter during the vice presidential debate made him look bullying and deranged. 
Last night, Vice President Biden's task was to turn in the performance Obama supposedly had failed to deliver the week before. Well, yes, as I say, if weird laughs, inappropriate smiles shot to Raddatz and moments of unhinged fury comprise your idea of the performance that Obama should have delivered, Uncle Joe brought it all home. But the fact is that between the president's much-maligned performance of debate no. 1 and the vice president's last night, Obama was clearly stronger. Whatever his inadequacies, he didn't look bullying or deranged, as Crazy Joe did.

The Most Racist People In America

RedState

"Who is the most racist group in America?
"Many would immediately point to “white people.” You hear about racism that occurs all the time, even if it didn’t.
"Thing is the people who guessed “white people” are absolutely correct, just not as correct as they think they are.
"In order to get the answer completely right, you’d have to dig a little further. The majority of white Americans aren’t racist at all. In order to find out who is the most racist you’d have to dive into the political affiliation part of the white population and after a bit of study you’d likely find that between Republicans and Democrats, it’s the Democrats who are undoubtedly racist but to be even more accurate, it’s the hard-left “progressive” bunch that really claim the title of “most racist group in America.”
"They’re guilty of racism for a number of reasons. One is the oftentimes overlooked “soft bigotry of low expectations” Democrats often force on minority communities. They don’t believe that if they remove their helping hands from their communities that minority communities will amount to anything.
"This is demonstrably false. As the Cato Institute pointed out, government intervention in communities has only caused their collapse: . . ."

Nancy Pelosi Endorses Joe Biden: ‘The Personification of Integrity’

Joshua Caplan


"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president, calling him “a leader who is the personification of hope and courage, values, authenticity, and integrity,” as the presumptive Democrat nominee faces a sexual assault allegation from his former Senate staffer, Tara Reade. 
"Pelosi, in a prerecorded video shared Monday to social media, praised Biden as a “voice of reason” with experience in helping enact legislation like the Obama administration’s 2009 stimulus program." . . .

Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Kids

Prager U.
"Dangerous people are filling the heads of young people with dangerous nonsense. Who are these people? They are what Jordan Peterson calls “the post-modernists:” neo-Marxist professors who dominate our colleges and universities. And here’s the worst part: we are financing these nihilists with tax dollars, alumni gifts and tuition payments. Time to wise up."

Gretchen Whitmer Sent Rude Texts to Michigan Senator Who Thanked Trump After Recovering From Coronavirus

RedState  "Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has become the leader everyone loves to hate but in America’s defense, she sure is giving people a lot of reasons to feel that way. "Especially after hearing from a Michigan Senator that Whitmer sent rude text messages to her after she publicly thanked President Donald Trump for helping her recover from the Coronavirus.
"Appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Friday, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett told host Tucker Carlson that instead of sending her congratulatory texts about getting over the virus, Whitmer had sent less than kind texts to Whitsett over the fact that she applauded Trump for his promotion of hydroxychloroquine, which both she and her physician confirmed helped her recover from the virus.
"Not only has Whitmer been unkind, but Michigan’s Democratic Party is also looking to censure her for applauding Trump.
“ 'Why they would expel me is beyond words for me,” Whitsett said. “This is something that I did not expect, I started out with a simple thank you to the man that is the president of the United States. It’s a thank you, I didn’t know that thank you had a political line. I didn’t know thank you belonged to one political party over another, and that if you’re in one party you cannot say thank you to another person. I had no idea.”
"Carlson asked if it was Whitsett’s promotion of hydroxychloroquine that might have sent Whitmer and her fellow Democrats over the edge, but Whitsett believes it just boiled down to showing kindness to Trump and giving him credit where it’s due." . . .



A CNN journalist pens a fascinating insight into the left's dystopian worldview


Andrea Widburg  "On April 7, Bill Weir, CNN's chief climate correspondent, had a son.  Weir wrote an open letter to his son telling him he was born into Hell on Earth, also known as the modern Western world.  The letter perfectly encapsulates everything the left hates and wants to see destroyed.
"Below, in italics, are my summaries of many of Weir's pronouncements, followed by countervailing information." . . .
Read all the points and counterpoints here.


. . . "Aside from being wrong, Weir misses entirely that we live in an age of wonders and miracles.  Modern farming techniques mean that famine would be a thing of the past but for corrupt governance in third-world countries.  Our medicine is so advanced that we replace people's hearts, help the blind see, and make the deaf hear.
"We've wiped out epidemic diseases that killed by the millions and will soon do the same with COVID-19.  Most children born into Weir's hated West will live to a ripe old age.  Before modernity, 50% of children died before their fifth birthday.
"Weir is a tragic figure because he has eyes but cannot see.  The real tragedy, though, is that people like Weir, through the power of the media, drive too much of America's political agenda."
GRETA THUNBERG MEMES

Conservatives are beginning to note that many police are acting like leftists


Andrea Widburg "In ordinary times, there tends to be a commonality between conservatives and law enforcement.  Both are hostile to leftist efforts to decriminalize criminal activity, such as lifestyle crimes (urinating and defecating on the streets or public drug use) and low-level criminal activity (in California, any crimes resulting in less than $950 in damage).
"For that reason, conservatives are finding shocking the fact that, thanks to the orders leftist governors and mayors are issuing, law enforcement officers across America are engaging in bullying tactics more often seen in communist countries than in a constitutional America.  Conservatives probably shouldn't be so surprised." . . .
. . . 
"Dan Bongino, a former New York police officer, has tweeted out a plea to his former brothers and sisters in blue to remember who they are and what they represent:
To My Brothers & Sisters in Blue,
PLEASE, speak w/your fraternal organizations & speak out collectively against these outrageous orders to arrest Americans for exercising their Rights. We’re losing the support of people who’ve defended us in crises for years. This can’t continue.
. . . 

"Thankfully, not all police officers are falling into the tyrant's trap.  I wrote the other day about the Houston Police Officers' Union's stand against an order to arrest people not wearing masks.  CNN has also written (disapprovingly, of course) about law enforcement officers refusing to enforce government mandates they believe are unconstitutional, draconian, or unreasonable.
"CNN, as usual, is wrong.  The Constitution is the highest and best law in the land.  Those law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce ukases that directly and unsubtly violate the First Amendment are in the right.  Long may these men and women serve!"

"Prisoners should be let out, but citizens who go to the beach get locked up." . . .   That's all good with Pelosi
Unless protests and showings of civil disobedience continue to pick up steam, it is not likely that Americans will get their basic rights back following the coronavirus pandemic.
A shocking video has been posted on social media of a mother being hauled off in handcuffs from a playground at Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park in Meridian, Idaho.

It was posted on Facebook by activist Erin Whitt Timmerman and demonstrated how law enforcement officials will readily comply with unconstitutional orders.

How Obama/Biden Wrecked the U.S. Medical Device Industry

Daniel John Sobieski

"As lawmakers ponder ways to bring back U.S. manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, their raw materials, medical supplies, and devices, it must be remembered a major part of this problem which has come back to bite us was created by the Obama/Biden administration and the medical device tax that was included in ObamaCare that was supposed to defray the costs of this doomed-to-failure new entitlement program.
"As part of the Orwellian-named Affordable Care Act, sales of medical devices from implants to MRIs, research equipment and surgical instruments were to bear a 2.3 percent tax. The tax would be on gross sales and not just profits. Even packaging, shipping, and warranties were included when calculating what was to be taxed.
"Because the Affordable Care Act was so unaffordable, it needed a running head start on revenue with imposition of the new tax beginning on January 1, 2013, while ObamaCare itself would begin a rolling implementation in 2014 with its more harmful aspects and the revelations that, no, you couldn’t keep your doctor or your plan even if you liked them. We would have to wait to find out that premiums would skyrocket, not decrease $2,500 as promised in another Obama/Biden lie, and deductibles would be so high that many of those with insurance couldn’t use it. Taxes first, questions later." . . .
. . . "As Rush Limbaugh has noted, liberal progressives like Obama and Biden employ a static analysis that says you can raise taxes and human and corporate behavior won’t change:
Do you all remember this thing called Obamacare? I’m sure you do. Do you remember the medical device tax that Obamacare instituted? Like all liberals, Obama believed that people that make things will pay anything. You put a tax on ’em, they’ll just keep paying the tax and they’ll just keep making the device. You put a tax on yachts, and people will pay the tax…Well, guess what? The people that manufacture medical devices fled the USA, and they went overseas to various places to get ’em made. One of the places they went was China. They also went to Mexico. They went to places in Europe. And now people complain about a shortage. They want to chalk it up to somehow a fault or a deficiency of capitalism or of the United States. No siree, Bob. It was a by-product of a tax increase called Obamacare on medical devices.

In North Korea, the Fourth Man Could Be a Woman

The New Yorker
Amid reports of Kim Jong Un’s failing health, it appears that the most obvious successor to rule the country, despite its sexist political system, is his sister, Kim Yo Jong.


"The conventional wisdom is that a woman could never ascend to the leadership of North Korea, a country stuck in a time warp of passé fashions, hairdos, music, and social mores. A toxic mix of Confucianism and totalitarianism indentures women to their husbands, to their in-laws, and, ultimately, to a male-dominated regime. With a few exceptions (the best known being the vice foreign minister, Choe Son Hui), North Korea’s senior cadres are almost entirely male. The Supreme People’s Assembly—which currently has six hundred and eighty-seven members—is supposed to set aside twenty per cent of its seats for women, but the percentage has frequently dipped lower. And the primary function of these token deputies seems to be to brighten the optics, by wearing the jewel-toned, floor-length Korean gowns best known by the South Korean term hanbok. Since 1948, North Korea has been ruled by three men—the founder, his son, and his grandson—but, nevertheless, it is now conceivable that the fourth man will be a woman. That is because, with reports that Kim Jong Un is in failing health, the most obvious successor is his thirtysomething sister, Kim Yo Jong.
"Kim Jong Un was a conspicuous no-show at ceremonies marking his grandfather’s birthday, on April 15th—the most important holiday on the North Korean calendar and an event that he has never missed since becoming leader, in 2011. A series of missile tests scheduled to coincide with the holiday went off without the customary footage of Kim watching from a viewing stand or peering through binoculars. North Korea’s official news agency, KCNA, continues to report on his purported activities (such as greetings and birthday messages sent to allies), but no reliable photographs of him have emerged since April 11th.
"Last week, CNN reported that he was in “grave danger,” after having undergone surgery (an assertion echoed by a report from a Japanese magazine on Saturday that claimed he was brain-dead after a failed operation to insert a stent), while the Daily NK, a respected online newspaper based in Seoul, said that he was recovering after a cardiovascular procedure. “Something seems to be wrong,’’ the paper concluded, on Friday. Until “state media provides decisive evidence of his whereabouts and well-being, rumors will thus likely continue to emerge—and uncertainty will prevail.” So far, that hasn’t happened." . . . 

Trump vs CBS Reporter Weijia Jiang: ‘Keep Your Voice Down… You Have To Do Your Research’

COTR


"OPINION | This article contains political commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Someone get CBS Weijia Jiang a chill pill.
"And even though President Trump is a teetotaler, get the man a stiff drink. He deserves it.
"Watch Jiang press and continually interrupt President Trump about why he waited until March 16th to start social distancing.
. . . https://twitter.com/i/status/1252023512367345668
"President Trump exposed her as having no facts to back up her assertion that he waited too long and he knocked her for not doing her research.
"President Trump asked Jiang how many cases there were in the US when he issued the ban. He asked her FOUR TIMES. She never answered. She didn’t answer for one of two reasons.
"She either didn’t know the answer or, she didn’t want to give the answer because it doesn’t fit her narrative that Trump was derelict.
"The mainstream media are truly disgusting. Their sole goal is to destroy Donald Trump. Facts do not matter. They are not impartial reporters of facts or even investigative reporters.
"Jiang’s question was not designed to get an answer.  It was asked to present a narrative and fulfill an agenda." . . .

If the left can't refute the Trump Presidency, they'll keep making stuff up

     Liberals cannot get many to despise President Trump if, like me, we already had previously. Trump was my most disliked candidate, considering what I regarded as bloviating, insulting, and rudeness toward other candidates, most particularly his terrible insult of Carly Fiorina (His attempt to recover from the shame of that was equally shabby). But it soon came down to him or Hillary and it became no choice for me. Who would I prefer to greet the casket of my dead child: Obama, for whom my child would be nothing but a prop in a photo-op, or Hillary, who would blatantly lie to our faces about his death. Or Trump, who would make the murderers pay dearly for our loss? Or any other Democrat who would be the Favored One of those who long to be photographed trampling on the American flag, kneeling during the national anthem, or being cheered as they call our President "a motherf**ker".
     Not this kid; I have seen President Trump's accomplishments in the face of everything the American left has thrown at him and those he has selected to serve with him. He has defied demagogues in Congress, entire "News" networks, and their showboating "reporters", - openly dedicated to the destruction of the Trump Presidency - the entire "entertainment" industry, and much of academia.
We must fear this left and their silly, yet treacherous efforts to get the allegiance of the American people. This is not even close to being the Democrat Party of my family, my labor union, and of this nation's world wars.  The Tunnel Dweller

"Did Donald Trump’s mother call him idiot with zero common sense? Fact Check"


Snopes . . . To sum up, the president’s mother did not call him “an idiot with zero common sense.” We therefore rate this claim “False.' ” . . .

FactCheck.org . . . "The meme offers no citation for the quote, and we couldn’t find anything to lend it credibility: We searched online and through news archives and found no such statement from Mary Trump, who died in August 2000.
"Trump’s mother criticizing her son and forecasting his potential entrance into politics — not to mention calling such a move a “disaster” — would have no doubt made the quotation newsworthy, if she had said it, at the time and again later. Before Mary Trump died, Donald Trump already had become a wealthy developer and casino owner who gained celebrity status and publicly considered running for president in the late 1990s, before deciding not to run. The supposed quote also would have likely resurfaced during his 2016 presidential campaign." . . .
Here's a twofer from CHECK YOUR FACT"
. . . "However, the Daily Caller News Foundation found no record of Mary Anne Trump ever saying the quote attributed to her in the Facebook post. A search of news archives and interviews didn’t yield any matches. It only seems to appear in memes and social media posts.
"Other fact-checkers have also been unable to find any credible sources linking Mary Anne Trump to the quote.  . . .
"If Mary Anne Trump had said such a negative thing about her son before her death in 2000, it likely would have been picked up by the media when Donald Trump publicly considered running for president in the late ’90s, but no news outlets reported on it."
An article shared on Facebook claims former first lady Michelle Obama called President Donald Trump the “dumbest president in United States history.”   
"Verdict: False  There is no record of Obama ever saying the statement. The quote originated on a satirical website."
