Jon Husted, Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, took to his personal Twitter account Friday afternoon with a comment on the origin of the coronavirus. Husted is now facing criticism. The response is overwhelmingly negative. Ohio State Senator Tina Maharath (D) shared this photo. She is the first Asian-American woman elected to the Ohio Senate. Ohio State Representative Casey Weinstein (D) called Husted’s tweet pathetic. The article Husted shared is about comments Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, made in an interview with CNN.

So. The Spanish flu of 1918 was not Spanish. Swiss cheese is not Swiss. Montezuma's revenge has nothing to do with Montezuma. The German measles did not come from Germany. Russian dressing does not come from Russia. Georgia peaches do not grow up in Georgia. To call COVID-19 the Chinese Flu or the Wuhan Flu is intended to distinguish this particular RNA virus from other SARS viruses. It is in no way anti-Asian. The WuFlu reflects very badly on Dr Fauci, the Wuhan Lab, and the Chinese Communist Army, who were in search of enhanced viruses to kill people. This is no reflection on the Chinese people, as they have NO vote or say in their Oligarchy. Their rulers self-perpetuate, and do not ask for public opinion. It is the same in the United States now, as our government does need our support anymore. The Democrats run the ballot counting machines and can count as many ballots as they need. The public are not needed for this activity.

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted wants to come out of Gov. DeWine's shadow. Most likely, the decrepit guv will not run in 2022, and most believe Jon took the job because he was promised DeWine would only serve one term. Husted knows the base of the party is solidly Trumpian. There are already competitors out there and Husted obviously thinks this is one way to relate, but where has he been the past year? Firmly by RINO DeWine's,side. Can't have it both ways, Jon.

You can't call it the Wuhan Flu, but it's perfectly OK to talk about the British, South African, Brazil, California, etc,. variant of the WuFlu. These other countries need better propaganda machines and more willing dupes in the media.

We had a Georgia Peach in our Herndon High School band, in northern Virginia, back in the '70's. She moved with her family to our school district from somewhere in Georgia. Pretty girl, beautiful melodious Southern accent, and she was a darn good Trumpet player, too!

An Amish community in Pennsylvania has become 'the first in the US to achieve herd immunity to COVID-19' after 90 per cent of their households became infected with the virus when they resumed church services late last spring. The administrator of a medical center in the heart of the Amish community in New Holland Borough estimates as many as 90 per cent of Plain families have since had at least one family member infected, and that this religious enclave achieved what no other community in the country has: herd immunity.

It's not clear why, but he's a regional director for the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Braden could not immediately be reached for comment.  CORRECTION*

When the Democrats decided to launch their unconstitutional military occupation of Washington D.C., they summoned 26,000 National Guard troops from all over the country to serve as a captive audience for Biden’s inauguration in an empty city living in fear. Those troops were made to sleep on cold marble floors in the Capitol and later in a cold parking garage. They were fed tainted meat, food with metal shavings and worms, resulting in illnesses and hospitalization. The bill for this disastrous mess came to $483 million. Nothing but the best for the troops.

University staff have argued that the current curriculum focuses on 'white European music from the slave period', according to The Telegraph.(Snip) It claimed that teaching musical notation had 'not shaken off its connection to its colonial past' and would be 'a slap in the face' to some students.

It has been more than two months since Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president of the United States, a historic moment for the country, as Harris is the first woman and the first woman of color to hold the second highest office in the land. Yet, Harris -- along with her husband, Georgetown Law professor Douglas Emhoff -- is still, ostensibly, living out of suitcases, unable to move into the private residence reserved for the vice president because it's still undergoing renovations. It's unclear why the renovations are taking so long, said one administration official, but it's a situation that
