   Daily Quotes
   Insight: “It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable.” —author Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)
   Food for thought: “BTW, great call on that 20 year campaign to promote high density urban living and public transportation, smart people.” —David Burge
   Observations: “Trump [Wednesday] night said, ‘This is a major government response to the foreign virus,’ and this immediately lead people in the media to whine about the fact that Trump said that the Wuhan virus is a foreign virus. … Why is that a problem? Is that an element of xenophobia? Seriously? This is what you’re focused on … that Trump points out that another major virus comes from China and that maybe this will have implications on U.S. policy and yet your initial takeaway is, ‘That’s Trump being a racist against Chinese people’? That’s really where you’re going with this?” —The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro
   Upright: “The President can fly Air Force One over major cities and dump freshly printed hundred dollar bills out of the belly of the plane, but if people think they’re going to get the coronavirus, they still are not going to take that cash and go shop, eat out or mingle in large crowds. They won’t even go to the bank to deposit it. They will, like with the toilet paper, simply stockpile it till the crisis is over. Before any stimulus can work, the public must trust the health care response. … Unfortunately for all of us, there is a bipartisan problem in Washington. Both sides have ‘electionitis,’ and the only cure is denying the other side any sort of public successes in order to beat them in November. It is not yet known how many Americans will die in the process.” —columnist Erick Erickson
   Non compos mentis I: “You know, since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have seen not only the spreading of the virus but also a rapid spreading of racism and xenophobia.” —Rep. Ayanna Pressley
   Non compos mentis II: “Labeling COVID-19 a ‘foreign virus’ does not display accountability for the misjudgments that have taken thus far by the Trump administration.” —Joe Biden
   Grand delusions: “I get the sense that this is not only the low point of the Trump presidency but the low point of the American presidency ever. Has any president ever been this overmatched by a crisis?” —New York Times columnist David Brooks
   And last… “This started in China, has become a global crisis. They stifled the flow of information. Lied. Stopped doctors and health experts from talking about it. They weren’t transparent and still aren’t. This is their Chernobyl. They deserve massive blame and should get it.” —The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-ayanna-pressley-seems-to-claim-racism-responsible-for-people-not-eating-at-chinese-restaurants
    —-
    Racism!
    “As usual, America’s pathological obsession with racism misfires again.”
    As The Daily Wire reported earlier this week, numerous diseases have been named after their place of origin.
    “In 1968, 150 students at Bronson Elementary School in Norwalk, Ohio, became very sick with vomiting and diarrhea. It took researchers four years and many stool samples to determine that the culprit was what at the time was called, alternately, ‘winter sickness,’ ‘winter vomiting bug,’ or stomach flu,” Stat reported. “Once investigators isolated and identified the virus that caused the outbreak of Norwalk, the city’s name became the virus’s name. As similar viruses sickened others in subsequent years, doctors began using the norovirus as an umbrella term for the Norwalk virus and its cousins.”
    Other examples include:
    Guinea Worm; named after the Guinea coast of West Africa.
    West Nile Virus; named after the river in Africa.
    Ross River Fever; named after a river in Australia.
    MERS; stands for Middle East respiratory syndrome.
    Ebola; named for a river in Africa.
    Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever; named after Omsk, Russia.
    Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, named after a mountain range in the U.S.
    Lyme Disease; named after a town in Connecticut.

    I love it when a plan comes together.
    “Corona virus has provided a chance for the former veep to duck out of the spotlight, where he spent recent weeks blathering incoherently and starting fights with voters. And now something really nefarious may be a’foot with the Dems. If the wounded Bernie Sanders does not use Sunday’s debate as an opportunity to expose Mr. Biden’s dementia and finish him off, here’s the DNC’s playbook: Hope that the stock market crash and broken economy sink Mr. Trump in public opinion, then contrive to nominate Mr. Biden and get a black woman on the ticket as veep. That part of the story has been trotted out already. I’m beginning to wonder whether that black woman will happen to be Michelle Obama, and I’m also wondering whether Barack Obama is behind the scenes orchestrating this. Of course, Mr. Biden, if elected, will serve in office less than a week — just long enough to hustle him off with the 25th amendment. Voila! The Obamas are back in the White House, out-Clintoning even the Clintons! Happy days are here again! (Not.)”

    The socialist dems cant count caucus votes and have this fiasco and want to run the country lordy lord –
    The man who wants to save America from coronavirus struggled mightily Friday evening with cameras, computers, and microphones.
    Due to the restrictions on crowds because of coronavirus, Joe Biden scheduled a “virtual town hall” in Illinois on Friday at 4:00 p.m. Central.
    Then it was moved to 6:00 p.m. Central.
    When Breitbart News tuned in, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth was fiddling with her camera phone, at one moment setting it on the table pointed straight up at the ceiling so America could see her light fixture.
    A short time later, the text “Senator Dick Durbin” appeared on the otherwise black screen, accompanied by the wails of a baby in the background.
    At 6:19, a moderator announced Durbin, who wasn’t visible. He introduced Biden, who appeared before American and Illinois flags.
    Biden began speaking, but there was no audio. Then suddenly, Durbin appeared in a separate screen holding a small child.
    Biden seemed to be reading from a teleprompter, but the broadcast suffered from severe tech issues, as Biden’s words were caught in a feedback loop, muddying the whole presentation and making the candidate nearly indecipherable.
    Biden tossed it to former Obama Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who offered hygiene recommendations.
    It then went back to Biden, who took questions. But when the campaign sorted out Biden’s audio issues, he never appeared on screen again.
    The first person called on to ask a question said, “Mr. Biden’s speech was garbled the entire time.” The moderator promptly moved onto another person.

    You know, I think they can keep Biden on life support until the general election. This whole deal is a godsend to him since he can just read prepared statements. His handlers will keep the wimmen away from him for ‘social distancing’ purposes, although I expect he’ll wave his little arms in their direction like a sort of pervert tyrannosaur.
    Really, Biden is the perfect Deep State candidate, especially if they can stick some sort of implant in him.
    You can definitely hope for a Bernie Bros Festival of Craziness at the convention, but they’re a lot better at crowd control than in 1968.
    Biden/Obama, the Dream Team. They’ll throw a few bones to the Left and then place the bureaucracy firmly back in charge.

    From the Urban Dictionary, an internet troll is:
    “A person who posts remarks or comments onto internet forums or message boards in an attempt to get someone to comment negatively to it and to redirect attention onto himself. Usually, these remarks are controversial, stupid, off-topic, inflaming, illogical, or childish. Sometimes, the comments are enough to enrage the people in the forum to want to respond back with their own negative remarks which starts a flame war and changes the topic and attention of the discussion. ”

    Weekend at bernies 2020 redux –
    But there is one political “hot take” emerging this week that really must be considered. It is a little like taking a bite out of something that tastes terrible and then turning to someone you love and saying: “Hey, try this. It tastes terrible.”
    “Joe Biden proved he is a real fighter,” said some of the most revered political experts in the land this week.
    After the former vice president mopped the floor with Sen. Bernie Sanders in South Carolina and then cleaned up again this week in states like Michigan and Missouri.
    Yeah, a real fighter, that Joe Biden. A dog-faced-pony-soldier kind of fighter. He really knows how to plot a political rebirth and rise from the ashes like an ancient white phoenix.
    Actually, no. He is the same rotting corpse of a candidate he was three weeks ago. It’s just that Democrats have decided that they would be better off with the dead guy than with Mr. Sanders.
    In other words, the Democrat National Committee won. They killed Mr. Sanders in the crib — for the second straight primary in a row. It’s like “Weekend at Bernie’s,” only it stars anyone but Bernie himself.
    Either way, Mr. Biden is still a corpse.
    His electoral revival has nothing to do with Mr. Biden being a fighter, except of course when he is attacking defenseless voters. Then he’s a real tough guy. Calls young women “dog-faced,” cusses out gun owners, calls people liars or accuses them of being “fat.”
    President Trump is a real fighter. He took on the Republican establishment — and won.
    He gets into epic fights with people who buy ink by the barrel and newsprint by the freight carload. And then — scandal of all scandals — he took on Washington, delivering his First Inaugural that vowed to keep all the promises that had gotten him elected. (These people still haven’t forgiven him for that one.)
    Even amid the present crisis over coronavirus, Mr. Trump immediately shut borders at the earliest sign of trouble despite desperate accusations he was being alarmist and “xenophobic.”
    No. Mr. Biden is anything but a fighter. He would never do anything to upset his minders and masters along the Potomac, be they in the Democratic Party or in the press.
    Mr. Biden is nothing if not obedient and pliable. A Potomac pushover, bobbing for approval.

    Wow. Recommended. Apologies if someone posted a similar story before (Walt?). John Solomon:
    ‘FBI’s Russia collusion case fell apart in first month of Trump presidency, memos show’
    “Less than two weeks into Trump’s presidency the FBI had concluded his national security adviser had not been working as an agent of Russia. While that was the view of federal law enforcement, the false storyline of Flynn as a Russian stooge was broadcasted across the nation, with leaks of his conversations with a Russian ambassador and other tales, for many more months…….”
    “Powell also confirmed that Mueller was fully aware of a letter sent in early January 2017 to Flynn from Britain’s national security adviser raising concerns about Steele’s credibility.
    The British government “hand-delivered” a letter to Flynn’s team that “totally disavowed any credibility of Christopher Steele, and would have completely destroyed the Russia collusion narrative,” Powell said…..
    “I was told that a copy of the document would have been given to [then-National Security Adviser] Susan Rice as well,” she added. “So the Obama administration knew full well that the entire Russia collusion mess was a farce.”
    “Instead of responding to the British government’s warning by abandoning the Russia collusion narrative and sparing her client the years-long ordeal of being targeted for investigation, top U.S. intelligence officials hid the communication, Powell said.”
