on coronavirus response; Nunes decries 'stunt' 2 replies
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who a little over two months ago led Democrats’ prosecution in President Trump’s impeachment trial following an extensive investigation, is working to launch a new review concerning the administration’s actions -- this time calling for a nonpartisan commission on the government's coronavirus response.
Schiff, D-Calif., after repeatedly criticizing the president’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Wednesday he would work to create a panel to review the government's actions and readiness.

Does America need Journalists?
5 replies
Chris Cillizza of CNN sent one of the most unintentionally hilarious posts into the Twittersphere when he proudly displayed his new (and ugly) sweater that read “America Needs Journalists.”Apart from the obvious tone-deafness of the message being sent at a time when most American would gladly trade the entire CNN staff for a single grocery store worker, trucker, medic, or just about anything else, this intrepid CNN American hero stumbled upon a sentiment that conservatives can fully get behind. America does need journalists. Too bad we have so few of them.Irony is never quite as thick as when journalists are preening about themselves,
Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), one of the House impeachment managers of the impeachment of President Donald Trump, said those blaming impeachment for Trump’s delayed reaction to the coronavirus pandemic were acknowledging “the administration screwed up this response.”O’Donnell asked, “Mitch McConnell said that he believes that the impeachment trial in the Senate slowed down the federal government’s response to the pandemic. What’s your response to that?”Schiff said, “Yeah, the president said something similar, which, you know, was an interesting acknowledgment that the administration screwed up this response.
President Trump surprised the nation’s leading infectious disease expert with some praise for his past basketball career.A reporter asked Fauci if either he or Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, had received any threats or been given a security detail. Fauci deferred to the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services before President Trump jumped in.“Everybody loves him,” the president said. “They’d be in big trouble if they ever attacked. You know, he was a great basketball player. Did anybody know that?"“He was a little on the short side for the NBA, but he was talented,”
President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday about “undocumented” immigrants not getting a stimulus check from the government as part of the coronavirus economic rescue package.“Well, you know, you are saying undocumented, meaning they came in illegally,” Trump said. “A lot of people would say that we have a lot of citizens right now that won’t be working, so what are you going to do?”Trump said he felt bad about the situation for illegal immigrants during a tough economic period.“It’s a very sad question, I must be honest with you, but they came in illegally and we have a lot of people
One America News Network has been removed by the White House Correspondents Association from the rotation of press outlets granted seats at the daily White House coronavirus task force briefings after OANN reporter Chanel Rion allegedly violated in-house rules by twice showing up at the briefings without an assigned seat.

Rion has attended the briefings as a guest of White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham.

British American Tobacco (BAT) said it can manufacture up to three million doses a week starting in June if it gets support from the UK Government.

But BAT is calling on Whitehall to fast-track the vaccine through rigorous human trials which could otherwise take the best part of a year and make the June date impossible.BAT said it had pivoted its vast resources
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi established the new marching orders Sunday during her appearance on CNN, attacking President Trump for his handling of the Chinese virus COVID-19.The San Francisco Democrat said that the national response to the coronavirus was hampered by an alleged early denial by the president, as Pelosi opted to politicize the unprecedented national emergency brought on by the pandemic — a crisis crushing American families and businesses.“His denial at the beginning was deadly,” Pelosi said, adding the money line, “As the president fiddles, people are dying.”Of course, there’s no truth to the assertion, even if her media allies do run with the narrative.
Actress Bette Midler has called President Donald Trump cruel and malignant following reports that the White House has decided not to re-open Obamacare marketplaces to new customers.

House Democrats are rolling out plans for a big “Phase 4” economic relief package, but Republicans warn they won’t support legislation that simply incorporates the Democratic party agenda, including green energy initiatives and mail-in ballots for federal elections."As the legislation from the first three phases is implemented, Republicans stand ready to work across the aisle to support the individuals and institutions that will need more help in the fight against the virus,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, said in a statement Wednesday. “But the American people cannot afford the distraction of continued attempts to force partisan objectives into our response.”
LONDON/OAKLAND/BUCHAREST – Driving to work at his factory to the west of London last week, designer Steve Brooks had coronavirus on his mind. What could he make that would let him open a door without touching the handle? “Everyone has to use their little finger or find the bit of the door that nobody’s touched,” said the designer and owner at DDB Ltd, a company which makes office furniture. So he produced a hook to do the job. The so-called hygienehook is small enough to fit in a pocket and made from a non-porous material, which makes it easy to clean. It is one of hundreds of gadgets dreamt up

RUSH: I’ve got a couple of great things. You know, yesterday I was dancing around the topic, dancing around the eco-message. This is not sustainable.(Snip)This is exactly my point. What are we doing? We have purposely shut down capitalism. We’ve shut down the largest economy in the world. We’ve shut down the economy the world needs. The biggest roaring economy the country has ever seen, we’ve shut it down. It took three years, only three years to build this economy up from the tepid state the Obama administration left it in, and now we’re right back there. Do you realize it’s just taken two months
Some lives are more important than others.

Shortly after President Trump touted chloroquine as a potential cure for COVID-19, the media triumphantly reported that a man died from taking homemade chloroquine due to Trump’s recommendation. It turned out that the man’s wife fed him some fish tank cleaner. She even partook of it with him, except that he died while she didn’t. As a dedicated murder mystery reader, I didn’t blame Trump. My suspicions were focused elsewhere. It turns out my instincts may have been right on the money. Here’s the story the drive-by media didn't tell you
