Why Big Names Are Getting COVID-19

It's a common belief that our well heeled betters live in a different world than we do. If they wish to, people of power and means can enjoy the very best nutrition, housing, and health care available. When it comes to buying personal protective equipment, money's simply no object to them. So why are luminaries like the president, members of the Senate, White House correspondents, and NFL stars coming down with COVID-19? Because the measures the so-called experts keep blathering about, wearing face masks and social distancing, are next to useless.

Finally, an accurate poll?

Everyone remembers the wildly inaccurate predictions of a Hillary Clinton landslide right up through the morning of Election Day 2016.
(snip) One Gallup polling question may be shedding light on this phenomenon. When asked who will win the election, voters responded as follows: Regardless of whom they personally support, 56% of Americans expect Trump to prevail over Biden in the November election, while 40% think Biden will win. (snip) With this type of question, voters may let their guards down and provide a truthful answer.
Who targeted the president?

I always trust my gut. Litigators and trial attorneys tend to do that. When things don’t make sense or add up but you don’t have a smoking gun, you start nosing around with questioning and investigating to see if your hunch pans out. Obviously, I don’t have any proof that the recent COVID-19 infections of POTUS and FLOTUS, several Republican senators, and people working on his campaign and in his administration, are truly random events or something planned, but it doesn’t pass the “random cluster of infections” smell test. Come on, admit it. You are all thinking it, too.
President Trump, who was diagnosed with the Wuhan virus on Thursday and sent to the hospital on Friday, returned to the White House on Monday evening, looking like his usual self. Upon his arrival, he gave a Twitter address to the American people. Although it’s short, it may be one of the most important and powerful statements he’s made as President. In it, Trump talks about a leader’s role, and he urges the American people once again to live without fear. (snip) the principles that Trump espoused, both about leadership and living life without fear, are tremendously important.
James Comey is not an effective liar. He fooled only the gullible last week with his evasive testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Previously, Robert Mueller was also not effective deterring the Trump Administration from uncovering significant, far-reaching crimes that the former F.B.I. Director "missed" from September 2001 through September 2013.
For almost 18 years, Comey and Mueller have been covering for powerful Republicans and Democrats, letting serious crimes go unpunished

Rather than seal the doom of President Trump’s re-election battle, as most of his haters expect and not a few of his supporters fear, I see strong signs that President Trump will use his experience to re-define himself and act as an inflection point, resetting the election. Watch carefully for a “New Trump” to emerge from Walter Reed Hospital, dare I say a kinder, gentler Trump, one humbled by his brush with mortality and a far more sympathetic figure in the eyes of many voters who have found him a bit too much to take.
On September 27, Dan Bongino, Fox News contributor, host of one of the most popular political podcasts, and best selling author (and prior to all of that a former Secret Service agent who served on the presidential protection detail, and a NYC police officer), appeared on Fox and Friends (6-9 A.M. E.T.) and confirmed that he had a serious health issue involving a tumor in his neck. Earlier this morning (snip) appearing from a hotel room in NYC, announced that he would be having surgery at a New York hospital on Wednesday to determine the extent of the tumor and its treatment.
The dramatic events of the last week will be studied for decades, and much information remains unknown. (snip) Omar Navarro, a Republican politician in California, developed the theme: “1.RBG dies. 2. Trump announces he will nominate new justice before election. 3. Pelosi makes “Arrow in our quivers comment to stop him.” (snip) In the almost four years since Trump has become president, Republicans have suffered three potentially mass fatality events.
Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump are reported in the media to be rivals of sorts.
Well, here's a rivaly no one would want to hope for: Which of the two has the lousiest former friends.
(snip) Chelsea Clinton has stepped forward into the spotlight, to tell everyone why she refuses to speak to her longtime childhood friend, Ivanka Trump, and it's a doozy. (snip) Chelsea Clinton, 40, said she and Ivanka Trump haven't spoken since 2016. During the discussion with host Andy Cohen, Clinton criticized the first daughter for "actively taking part in this administration's everyday collision of cruelty and incompetence."
Why Is President Trump in the Hospital?

Election season is in full swing, with October surprises popping up like a jack-in-the-box at any moment. (snip)President Trump was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center for "the next few days," not because he was sick, but as a "precautionary" measure.(snip)Trump's actual symptoms are unknown but obviously not severe if he could walk unassisted from the White House to Marine One. (snip) The Regeneron cocktail, rumored to be called the Covfefe Double Shot, is a "novel two-antibody cocktail, REGN-COV2, with potential to diminish risk of viral escape by effectively binding to the virus's critical spike protein in two separate, non-overlapping locations."
At 1:00 a.m. on Friday, President Trump notified the world that he and Melania have tested positive for the Wuhan virus. All decent people should hope he recovers quickly because he is a fellow human being and because he is the President of the United States of America. The left, however, has a massive cohort of indecent people. Within minutes of Trump’s announcement, leftists, many of whom are clearly Biden supporters, went on the ugliest Twitter rampage I’ve ever seen.
Some men are alphas, like President Trump, and some men are betas, like Al Gore and the sneering, puffing Biden. And then there are men who aren’t even strong enough to be betas. They are, instead, weak, mewling creatures who lack either presence or power, and who then cry about it afterward. Chris Wallace and John Roberts, both employees at Fox News, have exhibited behavior that’s so craven and humiliated themselves so badly in the eyes of Fox News’s core audience that they should be retired immediately.
It all started with Chris Wallace’s stint as a debate moderator for the first presidential debate.

Hollywood elites experienced an epic meltdown after President Donald Trump tweeted that he would be leaving Walter Reed Military Hospital on Monday evening. At the center of Hollywood’s temper tantrum was the president’s advice: “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.” Those words set off a Hollywood freak out in which celebrities launched social media attacks at the president and even his medical team, spreading conspiracy theories and wild accusations intended to hurt Trump. “You are faking your recovery!” tweeted NBC’s Community actor Ken Jeong, who is also a medical doctor.

Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden attributed people's ability to stay home during the pandemic to “some black woman” stocking grocery store shelves.
“The American public, the blinders have been taken off. They've all of a sudden seen a helluva lot clearer,” Biden said on Sept. 15 in Tampa at a campaign event with veterans. “They’ve seen, 'Geez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.’”
“Or 'A young Hispanic is out there, these DREAMers are out there, 60,000 of them, acting as first responders, and nurses and docs.' Or, all of a sudden, people are realizing,
Joe Biden's campaign released a slashing video endorsement by Michelle Obama Tuesday where the former first lady denounces President Trump as 'racist' and says he 'isn't up to the job.' 'Racism, fear, division—these are powerful weapons and they can destroy this nation if we don't deal with them head on,' she says in the 24-minute video, called a 'closing argument,' where she speaks directly to the camera. 'Let's be honest, right now our country is in chaos because of a president who isn't up to the job,' says the popular former first lady, who also delivered an emotional pitch for Biden

'black only' housing in response to student petition 41 replies
Marquette University is currently exploring ways to implement “black only housing” on its campus following student demands. “Marquette will work toward creating a Black Living Learning Community in a residence hall,” campus administrators said to the student body in a statement last month, adding that learning communities “bring together students with common majors or common interests.” The school’s black student council started a petition, signed by over 1,500 people on Change.org in July, outlining a list of demands, including asking the university to “publicly recognize and apologize for the traumatic events that Black students experience on campus and the part
Homeland Security released a new threat assessment Tuesday saying White supremacists are “the most persistent and lethal” domestic extremist threat to the U.S.Acting Secretary Chad Wolf also warned of anarchist violence stemming from racial justice protests, ongoing election threats from Russia, China and Iran, and foreign-origination epidemics like COVID-19 as other dangers. But it was the announcement of White supremacists that had been anxiously anticipated. “I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years,” Mr. Wolf said in the assessment.(Snip) “Since 2018 they have conducted more lethal attacks
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office told California residents they should wear masks “in between bites” of food while dining in public spaces with people from the same household. “Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don't forget to keep your mask on in between bites,” the office of the governor tweeted over the weekend. Correction*
Liberals often mock conservative Christians for supporting a notorious sinner and philanderer in Donald Trump, but the left has grown increasingly hostile to biblical (small-o) orthodox Christianity. Even the ostensibly moderate Democratic nominee Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. represents an insidious threat to the religious freedom of conservative Christians. He also represents a threat to Roman Catholics, even though he is himself a practicing Catholic.
How could this be? Biden’s rhetoric and policies single out those who adhere to traditional religious beliefs and moral convictions, aiming to limit their ability to live by their consciences and ostracizing them from polite society.
Former first lady Michelle Obama offered a closing argument on behalf of Joe Biden (D) on Tuesday, telling viewers in a 24-minute speech that “our country is in chaos because of a president who isn’t up to the job” and whose administration and allies are “stoking fears about Black and Brown Americans.” Obama delivered an impassioned 24-minute speech to the American people, pleading with them to support the former vice president, who she described as an experienced leader who “understands the struggles of everyday folks” and has the ability to end the “chaos” across the country. She painted a dark picture of President Trump’s America, describing a country filled with
Cancel all the debates, now
31 replies
COVID-19 and Donald Trump's bullying behavior provide the excuse to do what should have been done already: cancel the presidential and vice presidential debates. The Trump-Biden debate was one of the low, degrading moments in the history of American politics. That several people there, including the president, came down with the virus underscores the perils of forums today. The Tuesday debacle only dramatized that these debates have outlived any usefulness. Even before Trump's blustery and boorish performance they offered little value to voters other than as a spectator sport. With the premium on cheap cracks, clever cliches and one-liners, these
Duluth–About 20 trucks with signs and flags supporting Donald Trump paraded by Mayor Emily Larson’s house Friday evening, days after she called the president a white supremacist and accused him of sowing division. Ahead of Trump’s rally in Duluth on Wednesday, the mayor condemned Trump’s “message of hate and division” on a call with local and state Democratic officials.
“We have a white supremacist in the White House who cares only about himself, who says he is about law and order, but I can guarantee you is coming into my community, disregarding the laws of health and safety for Minnesotans,” Larson said on the call.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday accused Republican leader Mitch McConnell of "jamming through the hearings on Amy Coney Barrett, even though three senators have COVID, even though he has said it’s not safe for the Senate to meet in session, but it’s OK to have the hearings."McConnell tweeted on Saturday: "Senate floor proceedings will be postponed until October 19th. The @SenJudiciary confirmation hearings for Judge Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court will convene on October 12th as scheduled by Chairman Graham."In an accompanying statement, McConnell said the Senate’s floor schedule “will not interrupt the thorough, fair, and historically supported confirmation process
