AP Confirms: Democrats Are Lying to the Public About Coronavirus Readiness 105,691 Mike Bloomberg (Joe Raedle / Getty)Joe Raedle / Getty JOEL B. POLLAK27 Feb 202017,287 3:43 An Associated Press fact check confirms what Breitbart News reported earlier this week: that Democrat presidential candidates are falsely claiming that President Donald Trump cut funding and personnel needed to fight coronavirus. On Tuesday, Breitbart News fact-checked “mostly false” claims by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg during the Democrat debate in South Carolina. Bloomberg claimed that Trump had “fired” a pandemic specialist at the White House, and “defunded” the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The implication: Trump was to blame for the spread of coronavirus — even though there have been just over a dozen cases and no fatalities in the U.S. The truth: the pandemic specialist had left voluntarily during a reorganization of the bloated National Security Council (NSC), and the CDC cuts — as the agency wound down its Ebola response — were only proposed, not enacted. The AP confirmed Thursday, in an article titled “AP FACT CHECK: Democrats distort coronavirus readiness,” that much of what Democrats are saying about Trump’s response to the coronavirus challenge is simply not true: Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget. He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect. … Some public health experts say a bigger concern than White House budgets is the steady erosion of a CDC grant program for state and local public health emergency preparedness — the front lines in detecting and battling new disease. But that decline was set in motion by a congressional budget measure that predates Trump. … “The CDC’s response has been excellent, as it has been in the past,” said John Auerbach, president of the nonpartisan Trust for America’s Health, which works with government at all levels to improve the nation’s response to high-risk health crises. Some Democrats have charged that Trump decimated the nation’s public health leadership, but Auerbach said CDC’s top scientific ranks have remained stable during the past three years. Read the full AP fact check here. The changes in the Trump administration — the restructuring and the proposed CDC cuts — were overdue, as the Ebola crisis had faded. It was bad luck that a new public health crisis emerged at that precise moment. But it was also fortunate that President Trump departed from protocol in one important way, widely criticized at the time: by shutting down travel from China, something the AP says is not typically done, he likely prevented a larger outbreak and bought the government precious time to prepare a response and educate the public.

COVID-19. The Story Dozens of countries are scrambling as COVID-19 continues to spread. Where do we stand now? The coronavirus has now reached six out of the world's seven continents (not Antarctica). The pace of the outbreak in China, where COVID-19 originated, seems to be slowing. But there are now more than 82,000 cases and at least 2,800 deaths worldwide. Earlier this week, new coronavirus cases were reported in Europe, including in Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and Croatia. Some cities in Italy are still on lockdown following an outbreak that's killed at least 12 people. On the other side of the world, a case was confirmed in Brazil, the first known case in Latin America. What about the US? There are now at least 60 cases of the virus, including the 42 Americans who were aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Earlier this week, the CDC's director said the public should prepare for a potential pandemic. And San Francisco's mayor declared a state of emergency. But that's not all… Go on. Yesterday, President Trump addressed the spread of COVID-19 in the US, saying the admin's no. 1 priority is the health and safety of the American people, and added that a vaccine is in the works. He also appointed VP Mike Pence to lead the US's team of public health experts and doctors working to combat the coronavirus. theSkimm COVID-19 has rattled governments and global markets. But in the meantime, officials say the best way to protect yourself includes doing what's necessary every cold and flu season: wash your hands, take care of yourself, and be prepared.

Missed the 🎪 debate, read this analysis....Enjoy! 2020: 9TH DEMOCRATIC DEBATE: IT GOT DIRTY FAST It was an exciting, high-energy debate -- the Bronx Bolshevik versus the elitist billionaire as everyone else dumped on Michael Bloomberg… Many in the Democrat Party are worrying about keeping a communist or an egotistical narcissistic billionaire from becoming the face of the party? The candidates only care about winning and are certainly willing to say or do anything to win the nomination. DEBATE-LAS-VEGAS From the opening attack… HOLT: Mayor Bloomberg, can Senator Sanders beat President Trump? And how do you want to respond to what else he said? BLOOMBERG: I don't think there's any chance of the senator beating President Trump. You don't start out by saying I've got 160 million people I'm going to take away the insurance plan that they love. That's just not a way that you go and start building the coalition that the Sanders camp thinks that they can do. I don't think there's any chance whatsoever. And if he goes and is the candidate, we will have Donald Trump for another four years. And we can't stand that. HOLT: Senator Warren? WARREN: So I'd like to talk about who we're running against, a billionaire who calls women "fat broads" and "horse-faced lesbians." And, no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg. Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist polls like redlining and stop and frisk. Look, I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is. But understand this: Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another. HOLT: Mayor Buttigieg, you'd like to weigh in. BUTTIGIEG: Yes, we've got to wake up as a party. We could wake up two weeks from today, the day after Super Tuesday, and the only candidates left standing will be Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg, the two most polarizing figures on this stage. And most Americans don't see where they fit if they've got to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power. Let's put forward somebody who actually lives and works in a middle-class neighborhood, in an industrial Midwestern city. Let's put forward somebody who's actually a Democrat. We shouldn't have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out. We can do better. Warren: "I'm sorry, the question is, are the women bound by being muzzled by you? You could release them from that immediately. Because understand, this is not just a question of the mayor's character, This is also a question about electability. We are not going to beat Donald Trump with a man who has who knows how many nondisclosure agreements and the drip, drip, drip of stories of women saying they have been harassed and discriminated against. That's not what we do as Democrats,. Klobuchar: “Are you trying to say I’m dumb? Are you mocking me here, Pete? I said I made an error. People sometimes forget names.” Buttigieg: “If you look at the choice between a revolution or the status quo and you don’t see where you fit in that picture, then join us.” [OCS: He is acting – he is not a moderate and every bit a leftist radical as Warren and the others.] About that communism thing… JACKSON: Mayor Bloomberg, you own a large company. Would you support what Senator Sanders is proposing? BLOOMBERG: Absolutely not. I can't think of a ways that would make it easier for Donald Trump to get re-elected than listening to this conversation. It's ridiculous. We're not going to throw out capitalism. We tried. Other countries tried that. It was called communism, and it just didn't work. SANDERS: But here is the point. Let's talk about democratic socialism. Not communism, Mr. Bloomberg. That's a cheap shot. Let's talk about -- let's talk about what goes on in countries like Denmark, where Pete correctly pointed out they have a much higher quality of life in many respects than we do. What are we talking about? [OCS: Denmark is not a socialist country like Venezuela or Cuba. They have a small, but majorly homogeneous population, and while you will find high taxes and good social services, they have capitalism-based businesses. Not a good analogy.] We are living in many ways in a socialist society right now. The problem is, as Dr. Martin Luther King reminded us, we have socialism for the very rich, rugged individualism for the poor. HOLT: The question was about socialism. BLOOMBERG: What a wonderful country we have. The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss here? SANDERS: Well, you'll miss that I work in Washington, house one. BLOOMBERG: That's the first problem. SANDERS: Live in Burlington, house two. BLOOMBERG: That's good. SANDERS: And like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a summer camp. Forgive me for that. Where is your home? Which tax haven do you have your home? BLOOMBERG: New York City, thank you very much, and I pay all my taxes. And I'm happy to do it because I get something for it. And let me say, I thought the senator next to me was half right. [OCS: Truth-be-told, both are authoritarians who want to tell you how to live and join the communists in Europe when it comes to using global climate change to accrete political power.] SANDERS: We have a grotesque and immoral distribution of wealth and income. Mike Bloomberg owns more wealth than the bottom 125 million Americans. That's wrong. That's immoral. That should not be the case when we got a half a million people sleeping out on the street, where we have kids who cannot afford to go to college, when we have 45 million people dealing with student debt. We have enormous problems facing this country, and we cannot continue seeing a situation where, in the last three years, billionaires in this country saw an $850 billion increase in their wealth -- congratulations, Mr. Bloomberg -- but the average American last year saw less than a 1 percent increase in his or her income. That's wrong. Funny to see Joe Biden claim to be poor while his family made millions off selling Biden's access and influence… HOLT: All right, Vice President Biden, weigh in on this question of Americans' feeling about socialist candidates. BIDEN: Well, look, let me weigh in on -- you know, for 36 years and as vice president, I was listed as the poorest man in Congress. I made money when I wrote a book about my son and it surprised me how much it sold. First time I've ever made any money. While apologizing for supporting “stop and frisk” … BLOOMBERG: Well, if I go back and look at my time in office, the one thing that I'm really worried about, embarrassed about, was how it turned out with stop and frisk. When I got into office, there were 650 murders a year in New York City. And I thought that my first responsibility was to give people the right to live. That's the basic right of everything. And we started -- we adopted a policy, which had been in place, the policy that all big police departments use, of stop and frisk. Funny, this is the putz who would disarm law-abiding citizens, create larger victim pools, and letting more criminals roam the streets. He has been surrounded by armed security 24/7 for decades – a great example of don’t do as I do, do as I say. HISPandering… KLOBUCHAR: You know what, Pete? If you could let me finish, since I've been in the arena. Ted Kennedy asked me to work on the first immigration bill. We were able with President Bush to at least get that bill to a vote. I'm sorry that Senator Sanders actually opposed that bill, and I worked on it. And if we had gotten that bill done, there would have been a path to citizenship for so many people. Then I worked on the 2013 bill. I'm actually so proud of the work I have done on immigration reform. And you know what? You have not been in the arena doing that work. You've memorized a bunch of talking points and a bunch of things, but I can tell you one thing. What the people of this country want, they want a leader that has the heart for the immigrants of this country, and that is me. The open-borders political circus continues and I am glad this is not our circus and not our monkey. Bottom line… Thanks for the entertainment, the sound bites, and the general excitement of a party at war with itself to see who can fundamentally transform America into a socialist hell-hole like Cuba and Venezuela and screw the American citizen. Like previous debates, President Donald Trump was the winner. Bloomberg appears to be the little wizard behind the screen and not the person portrayed in his political ads. Sanders took the top position. Biden was ho-hum. It appears that nobody challenged why anti-Semitism is rampant in the Democrat Party and Bernie Sanders is endorsed by so many prominent virulent anti-Israel, anti-Jew, anti-Semites? And, if money could buy an election, what happened to billionaire Tom Steyer who couldn’t even buy his way on to the Las Vegas debate stage? In the final analysis, it is not so much what happened in the past, but what these radical progressive socialist democrats want to do to our country in the future. Vote Trump 2020. We are so screwed. -- steve

Islamists' Response to Peace Plan by Bassam Tawil • February 18, 2020 at 5:00 am Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Telegram Send Print When Hizb-ut-Tahrir says that negotiations and a peace process with Israel are acts of treason, their words are pointed straight at Abbas and the PA leadership. When Hizb-ut-Tahrir says it wants Muslim armies to liberate all of Palestine, the organization is actually calling on Muslims to march on Israel, kill Jews and destroy the state. While the ideology of Hizb-ut-Tahrir might sound inhospitable, it is shared by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and several other Palestinian terror groups -- particularly regarding the goal of eliminating Israel. By continuing to incite their people against Israel and the US... Abbas... and other PA officials are driving more Palestinians into the open, welcoming arms of Hizb-ut-Tahrir as well as Iran's proxies, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. By allowing thousands of Islamists to call for the destruction of Israel on the streets of West Bank cities, PA leaders are digging their own graves: The same people they are inciting against Israel and the US will kill these leaders not only for being affiliated with Israelis and Americans but for being too "moderate." Finally, by making, as they usually do, contradictory claims to their own people, they are losing, among the Palestinians, the little credibility they have left. At an emergency meeting of the Arab League in Cairo on February 1, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (center) declared that "there will be no relations with Israel and the US, including on security cooperation." (Photo by Khaled Desouki/AFP via Getty Images) The Palestinian Authority, after rejecting US President Donald Trump's recently unveiled plan for Mideast peace, "Peace to Prosperity," as a "conspiracy" against Palestinians, is now trying to persuade the Israeli public that it is "still" interested in achieving peace with Israel. Earlier this month, PA President Mahmoud Abbas announced that he would cut all ties with Israel and the US, including security coordination, to protest the Trump plan, which he denounced as the "slap of the century." "We are informing you," Abbas told Arab foreign ministers during an emergency meeting in Cairo, "that there will be no relations with Israel and the US, including on security cooperation." Abbas has been making similar threats for the past three years -- probably the reason Palestinians have long stopped taking his threats seriously. Continue Reading Article

Pelosium A major research laboratory has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named, Pelosium. Pelosium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. The symbol for Pelosium is PU Pelosium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass. When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates CNNadnausium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude, more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Yesterday I bought two six packs of beer on sale at the liquor store. I placed them on the front seat of the car and headed back home. cid:X.MA11498511367@aol.com I stopped at the service station where a drop-dead gorgeous, almost blonde was filling up her car at the next pump. cid:X.MA3.1498511367@aol.com It was very warm, and she was wearing tight shorts and a light top which was wide open. cid:X.MA4.1498511367@aol.com She glanced at the beer, bent over and knocked on my passenger window. With her bra-less breasts almost falling out of her skimpy top she said, in a sexy voice, " I'm a big believer in barter, old fellow. Would you be interested in trading sex for beer?" cid:X.MA5.1498511367@aol.com I thought for a few seconds and asked, "What kind of beer you got?" THE ARROGANCE OF OLD AGE

This is disgusting, letting the likes of Hanoi Jane, R. O’Donnell spread their poison to our cadets is the height of STUPIDITY! Time to “Clean House at the Point!” Our Military Should Be Cultivating Masculinity, Not Denigrating It January 30, 2020 By Tony Perkins A recent review of U.S. special operations forces pointed to a leadership crisis in our military, concluding that leadership, discipline and accountability must be strengthened at all levels. West Point Military Academy, which is supposed to be the Army's preeminent leader development institution, hasn't been immune to this breakdown in leadership. Earlier this month, West Point cadets attended "Honorably Living Day," a mandatory event dedicated to promoting diversity and feminist thought where facilitators discouraged what they called "toxic masculinity." The curriculum featured the documentary Miss Representation, which was produced by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, first lady of California and wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). The documentary included commentary from left-wing commentators such as Katie Couric, Rosie O'Donnell, and Jane Fonda. What does any of this have to do with fighting and winning wars? That was the question Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. "Jerry" Boykin asked when he joined Washington Watch yesterday to discuss this new initiative. "In no way does this help enhance the readiness of our military," he told me. "It is a reflection of what was forced on our military in the Obama administration. The disappointing thing is that it's still there..." Instead of developing leaders, West Point is taking time to attack masculinity. The program even questions the phrase "be a man." Yet, by attacking masculinity, mandatory trainings such as Honorably Living Day undermines the very characteristics our military desperately needs. General Boykin quoted George Orwell, who fought in the Spanish Civil War and observed the hardships of battle first-hand: "Orwell said, 'We rest well in our beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence against those who would threaten us.'" General Boykin argues that the campaign against masculinity inflicts a great deal of damage on society beyond the military. "This whole idea of 'hypermasculinity,' which is one of the phrases that they've coined now... is absolute nonsense, has nothing to do with reality. It is about destroying men because they are the foundations of the family... The men are so important, and the men are walking out of their families today all over America. And this is a reflection of exactly what the crisis in masculinity is all about." Indeed, a lack of male leadership has certainly taken its toll on American families. All the more, this highlights the importance of preserving strong and moral male leadership in the military, despite the Left's effort to destroy it. For centuries, men have largely been the ones fighting wars, protecting their countries, and defending their people. Instead of disparaging a perceived "toxic masculinity," the U.S. military should be building the character of men and fostering their natural instinct to protect and defend. The strength of our military and the security of our nation depends on it.
