The most inane of the many fatuous arguments raging over the administration’s handling of the coronavirus is the debate about whether the Democrats distracted President Trump with the impeachment effort when he would otherwise have been raising the drawbridge earlier. This seems to have begun as Republicans other than the President asserted that the Democrats had no standing to complain about a slow start to grappling with the problem because they had wasted six weeks with a completely spurious impeachment case.

I live in SoCal and I love it to death here but I'm definitely behind political enemy lines. I go to semi-great lengths wrapping my head around the way things really are out there but I figure I'm missing most of it.
Time for a road trip, maybe.
In the meantime Conrad Black and all the other writers around here keep it real.
I'm glad I'm alive and I'm glad I'm old.

It was an interesting read, but a lot of the time I felt like I was watching a guy try to score with Trish Regan...

The healthcare bureaucracy counts anyone who dies for any reason and tests positive for China virus as a China virus death. When everyone goes back out to work, the overall death rate will rise as people drive more, etc and the China virus death rate will also appear to rise. The Democrats/Media will scream that Trump has murdered thousands, and the next impeachment charade will begin.

I’m sorry #1 feels besieged. We are blessed with friends and associates who were all in for our President when he was just Donald John Trump. Conservatives, all.
Those who don’t read Black’s excellent essay will miss this recognition of Trish Regan:
Perhaps the person who first evaluated this debate and the politicization of the pandemic in the United States was Trish Regan, late of Fox News, who saw it on March 9 as another Democratic attempt to impeach the president. She was right from the start and has been fired by Fox Business News for her comments.
Ms. Regan did not dismiss the gravity of the virus, but accurately said that it was being exploited as another basis for the virtual impeachment of the president. Even punch-drunk Trumpophobics must have figured out that impeachment doesn’t work, but they are bumping hilariously into each other trying to discredit the president’s handling of the public-health crisis.
Trish Regan rightly saw that the press and official Democrats were going to attack Mr. Trump from every angle on the issue — for dismissing it at first (as they did themselves) and moving too slowly to expand testing facilities (even as Abbott Laboratories brought out an easy and swift testing device), and by claiming the president was an anti-science moron until he assembled a strong professional task force to manage the crisis.
Fox is making some serious errors that will outlast the Pelosis and Schumers and Clintons and Schiffs and the raging Dems and #NeverTrump others. Regan should NOT have been fired.

Perhaps jealous or insecure women did not like Regan, but she is smart as a whip and sees through all the smoke and mirrors. And she is on our side. Women don’t have to be plain and dumpy to be smart. Conservative women are overall a pretty attractive bunch… why shouldn’t they be? Secure women aren’t afraid of other women.

Conrad is a healthy 85 year old. Regan is definitely hot and smart. I can't help wondering what woman at Fox had a finger in getting Trish fired.

For lisa belanger (#4 and #%). Capitalism is the difference between helping you Uncle Jack off the horse, and helping your un jack off the horse.

No matter what Trump says or does (or does not say or do) and no matter what the final mortality numbers and damages to our economy, the lamestream media will uniformly blame everything bad on Trump and credit everything good to either the Obama administration or the Democrat congresscritters.

I'm glad to hear him defending Trish Reagan. She is a wonderful reporter, and she was basically right about what she said. Shame on the hideous Paul Ryan and worthless Lachlan Murdoch for firing her for being right and doing a great job.

I would love to know who advised Trump to shut the government down.
