A drug in development for treating HIV and cancer was given to seven critically ill coronavirus patients in New York Two of them were well enough to be taken off ventilators in a matter of days, and all but one are improving

UK Daily Mail  "Two coronavirus patients in New York City were treated with a new drug 'fast-tracked' for HIV and breast cancer - and they went from being on ventilators in the ICU to regular hospital in a matter of days.  
"Based on the results of a small initial trial, biotech firm CytoDyn believes their drug, leronlimab, has potential for treating patients severely ill with coronavirus. 
"They believe that the drug can quell the 'cytokine storm' - a deluge of immune cells that can be as damaging as the infection itself - that triggers life-threatening lung inflammation in coronavirus patients. 
"Leronlimab has only been tested in seven critically ill patients thus far, but two are now free from ventilators, and another two more show signs that the severe inflammation sending their lungs into organ failure are subsiding. 
"There are no approved treatments for coronavirus, but the CytoDyn's drug is among the latest being tested to help save the lives of Americans with coronavirus, of which there are now well over 100,000 - and if it continues to show promise it could get FDA approval in as little as little as six weeks. 

"Developing a drug that targets the coronavirus itself take time and money - both of which are in short supply in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Scientists, universities, and the World Health Organization are all racing to test existing drugs or those in development against the virus that has already killed more than 1,500 Americans.
"Among those is a drug that has already been fast-tracked by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating another virus - HIV - as well as cancer.
Leronlimab is already in trials and showing promise for treating HIV." . . .More

Hillary Clinton under fire for joke about US leading in virus cases: Trump 'did promise America First'

Fox News  "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was blasted on social media Friday for her swipe against President Trump amid the growing coronavirus outbreak within the U.S.
"Since the availability of testing kits has broadened in recent days, the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has skyrocketed. On Thursday, the U.S. has reportedly outpaced both China and Italy with more than 97,000 reported cases.':Clinton took the latest developments as an opportunity to knock her former 2016 rival on Twitter.

"He did promise 'America First,'" Clinton wrote, referring to one of the president's oft-repeated campaign slogans." . . .

Over in the UK, the Daily Mail reported:

Hillary Clinton is accused of being 'tasteless' for making 'American First' dig at President Trump after the US became the country with the most coronavirus cases

. . . "Hillary Clinton took to her Twitter on Friday afternoon to share a story from the New York Times that reported that the United States was now leading the world in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. 

" 'He did promise "America First,"' Clinton said in the tweet, which has more than 24,000 retweets and 113,600 likes." . . .

The following were not among those 113,600 Democrats liking Hillary's words:

The sentiment was shared by Kyle Kashuv, who added: 'Wow. Gleefully boasting thousands dead, families broken, millions of unemployed claims, and widespread suffering just to own Drumpf. My god. This is despicable.'

Coronavirus Causing a Right Turn

We are witnessing a slight “right turn” in America, back to God, family, patriotism, principles and values which have made America great. I say, “Praise the Lord!” 

 Lloyd Marcus  "My brother who lives in Baltimore is a fellow black Christian conservative Republican. He phoned to warn me not to mention Trump to a senior relative. Fake news media's corona-madness has driven her hatred to the extreme. Now, she wants him dead!
"Our relative's irrational hatred for Trump is exactly what Democrats/fake news media still strive to create since the day he was elected.
"However, whenever Trump speaks directly to the American people, they believe him, gravitate to him, and love his America first agenda.
"This is why Democrats/fake news media continuously seek to block Trump from communicating directly to We the People. Absurdly, they claim his tweeting is an impeachable crime. The Democrats'/fake news media was thrilled when coronavirus hit our shores, giving them an opportunity to demand that Trump stop holding rallies. The mega thousands who attend Trump rallies include a growing number of Democrats eager to jump aboard the Trump Train. 
"To further block the people from hearing Trump, fake news media has outrageously decided to stop broadcasting Trump's coronavirus update press conferences. " . . .

Seattle Police Officers Rebuke Local NPR’s Decision To Stop Airing White House Coronavirus Briefings   "The Seattle Police Officers Guild criticized Thursday night the recent decision of the local National Public Radio station’s decision to stop broadcasting the daily White House coronavirus task force briefings.

“ 'In light of the recent decisions made by a public news affiliate, SPOG will be live streaming all the White House’s press COVID-19 briefings on our social media channels,” SPOG president Mike Solan said in a statement. “This is not a time to play partisan politics. Seattle community members deserve the most up to date information during this crisis; this includes life saving medical information from our nation’s Surgeon General and top doctors.' ” . . .

You ask why? Here is an explanation from the usual sources:

Producers at both CNN and NBC told the Daily Beast the briefings contain “misinformation” from President Donald Trump that cannot be fact-checked live. “We might take it from the top and then cut away after the first lie, and return when the lies stop,” on producer claimed.

Americans Deserve Better Than the Media Is Giving Them   . . . "As during the Russia collusion conspiracy fabrication and the concocted Ukraine impeachment fiasco, media reporting on the virus has exposed many journalists’ true aim: causing political harm to President Trump no matter the cost to the country, to the accuracy of their stories, or to their own journalistic reputations.
"The most egregious example came from the tragic story of an Arizona couple who ingested aquarium parasite treatment chemicals, thinking that the fish tank cleaner would serve as medicine to ward off the coronavirus. The husband died and the wife wound up in the hospital.
"This is a heartbreaking story that proved too tantalizing for NBC, which laid the blame for the incident squarely on Trump." . . .

Transgender sports: Trump's Justice Department weighs in on the side of science

Andrea Widberg  "Title IX says that, in the education setting, people cannot be discriminated against based on their sex.

Fast forward almost fifty years and you Connecticut government entities insisting that, if a boy claims to be a girl (and there’s no requirement that he actually believes this false notion), schools must allow him to compete in girls’ sports events.

"That’s how these two boys ran away with the Connecticut High School track championships and, in all probability, with the college scholarships that could go with them:"

"As the video notes, not all the girls who got shortchanged were willing to accept that they could be kicked out of the race by two massively muscled boys. Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, and Alanna Smith sued various Connecticut entities for discrimination and Title IX violations.

"Before wading into the lawsuit, it’s worth emphasizing that there’s not a scintilla of science behind the transgender theory, something one can see by reviewing a September 2018 policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatricians (the largest and most influential pediatric organization in America)."... More...

President Trump To Introduce New Coronavirus Guidelines

Home

[Guest post by Dana]  "Working toward his goal of having the economy up and running by Easter (April 12), President Trump is proposing new guidelines based on geographic risk:

President Trump said in a letter to U.S. governors on Thursday that his administration is working to publish new guidelines for state and local governments to use when making decisions about “maintaining, increasing or relaxing social distancing and other mitigation measures” for the coronavirus epidemic.

Trump said officials are gathering testing data that will suggest guidelines categorizing counties as “high risk, medium risk or low risk” for the virus. The data will drive “the next phase” of the response, he said.

"Here is the critical part of his letter:

This is what we envision: Our expanding testing capabilities will quickly enable us to publish criteria, developed in close coordination with the Nation’s public health officials and scientists, to help classify counties with respect to continued risk posed by the virus. This will incorporate robust surveillance testing, which allows us to monitor the spread of the virus throughout the country. Under these data-driven criteria, we will suggest guidelines categorizing counties as high-risk, medium-risk, or low-risk.

With each passing day, our increasingly extensive testing capabilities are giving us a better understanding of the virus and its path. As testing gives us more information about who has been infected, we are tracking the virus and isolating it to prevent further spread. This new information will drive the next phase in our war against this invisible enemy.

This comes one day after Dr. Anthony Fauci cautioned about setting any sort of timetable:

"You’ve got to understand that you don’t make the timeline, the virus makes the timeline. So you’ve got to respond in what you see happen. And if you keep seeing this acceleration, it doesn’t matter what you say. One week, two weeks, three weeks — you’ve got to go with what the situation on the ground is. . . .

Seen Joe Biden lately? What about the Joe Biden who debated Paul Ryan in 2012?

Tony Branco

Just remember Joe brought his A-game to the last debate.

2012: Vice President Joe Biden's smiles and laughter during the vice presidential debate made him look bullying and deranged.  "WHAT WAS THAT ALL about?  "The inappropriate smiles, the aggressive laughs, the all but unhinged finger-pumping raging at moderator Martha Raddatz--I suppose Vice President Joe Biden could have come in with a less appropriate performance last night. I just don't know how.
"Then there was the substance. The vice president's charges that Rep. Paul Ryan was lying were totally predictable and effectively answered.   Joe had "gravitas"?

Naturally, Democrats loved Biden's rudeness but Republicans seemed to be arguing in the wind

Way Back In 2019, Questions About Joe Biden’s Mental Fitness Creep Into Mainstream . . . Biden sparked questions about himself with a bizarre reference to record players while answering a question about the legacy of slavery." . . . 

Biden said.
Zack Beauchamp, a writer with left-wing website Vox, argued that Biden’s strange answer “has to raise questions about Biden’s mental fitness for office, especially given his age.”  . . .

Biden’s Debate Performances Raise the Question: What???   "The hits just keep on coming for Joe Biden at the Democratic debates. By hits, of course, I mean weird, off-putting moments that haunt the mind long after one has been released from the brightly lit prison of the cable news debate stage." . . .

Even SNL had fun with Biden and the debate:  

The UK Guardian gave Biden points  . . . "Biden is an incorrigible ham. On the split-screen, while Ryan spoke, he could be seen grinning, chuckling, shaking his head, throwing his hands to the skies or hanging his head in exaggerated disbelief, a widely varying sequence of gestures that all amounted to "can you believe this guy?" When the questioning turned to religious faith, Biden simply adopted a completely different voice, husky and several tones lower. With exuberant disingenuousness, he referred to Ryan as "my friend" more than a dozen times. But it all seemed to work. It worked much better, certainly, than Obama's decision to act as if the split-screen wasn't there." . . .

Joe "yelled a lot"

Here It Goes – DNC Says Joe Biden Needs Chair and Desk for Next Debate…   . . . "The Club knows Biden does best in debate formats when sitting down at a desk; just like the 2012 debate between Biden and Paul Ryan. 
"CNN is hosting the debate, and CNN is the most friendly control operation for the needs of the Club.  So what happens… CNN and The Club agree to a small venue town hall format where Joe Biden will be sitting down at a desk to debate Bernie Sanders.

"It is all predictable in the extreme:" . . .
. . . 
"The “audience members” who ask questions will all be plants by the Club and CNN; and the Biden campaign will be provided all of the topics and questions well in advance to assist their rehearsal efforts just like they did for Hillary in 2016.   Wash-Rinse-Repeat."

Townhall

The Worst Time for Congressional Partisanship

"The Senate Democrats just engaged in one of the most cynical displays of partisanship I have ever seen in the U.S. Senate," said Riedl. "They let Pelosi blow up a bipartisan agreement."

 

David Limbaugh  "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's attempted partisan sabotage of the coronavirus relief bill might mark a new low for her. That the bill finally passed the Senate doesn't excuse her reckless gamesmanship.
Republican and Democratic Senate leaders were close to an agreement when Pelosi parked her partisan broomstick and poured poison into the congressional punchbowl.
" 'Talking to some Senate GOP sources," Townhall political editor Guy Benson tweeted. "They seem stunned and angry. I'm told there was lots of bipartisan input into the legislative outline & emerging specifics -- including an agreement in principle on broad strokes. Then Pelosi showed up and threw a partisan grenade." Sources said the Democratic leadership moved to exploit the crisis by attaching its socialist wish list to the bill.
"Manhattan Institute senior fellow Brian Riedl, a conservative known more for his scholarship than partisanship, had strong words. "The Senate Democrats just engaged in one of the most cynical displays of partisanship I have ever seen in the U.S. Senate," said Riedl. "They let Pelosi blow up a bipartisan agreement." . . .

Other Democratic add-ons included aid for Planned Parenthood, millions for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and an increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour for all businesses receiving stimulus funds.

Eyes wide shut about Feeler Joe and the Predator Party

Richard Jack Rail  "In this era when it seems every male Democrat is a sexual predator, a woman named Tara Reade tells about the time in 1993 when Joe Biden, alone with her in his office, pushed her against the wall, shoved his hand into her skirt, and his finger into her. She objected, and he said something like, “Come on, man, I thought you liked me.”
"Being a good Democrat, the estimable Ms. Reade kept her mouth shut these 27 years. But as others began telling similar stories about Biden misbehavior, she finally said something.
"This should never have happened, but it's hard to sympathize with Tara Reade. She had her eyes wide shut. Joe Biden's been a liar, exaggerator, big talker, and BSer forever. He's been famous for 40 years for putting his hands all over women and little girls. This woman chose not to see, and after Feeler Joe did what he did, chose not to talk about it. Given the propensity of Democrats to savage women who come forward with such experiences, one can understand that; but the rest of the story doesn’t dispose one to feel badly for poor Ms. Tara.
"She’s a Sanders gal today, almost certainly voted for Bill Clinton even after the Monica revelations, and stood by HRC even after the revelations of Hillary slut-shaming a woman in court and then laughing about it, and saying of other women that they should get over it.

"Frankly, her continued support for any Democrat is a shocker. That she didn’t run from the party after the Biden experience and then the Clinton thing tells us some unflattering truths about the lady. She says she decided to go public now in support of other women who had similar experiences with Biden, but her actions say something else. By sticking with the Predator Party, she in effect says that Democrat men can do as they please to other women, just not to her. But feel sorry for her anyway.

"Tara Reade’s tears and feelings of betrayal are entirely believable, but her woes are self-inflicted."
