[PJMedia] The head of the European Research Council, Mauro Ferrari, got tired of running into a brick wall when he proposed ways to address the health crisis.
[PJMedia] On Saturday, a woman who claims to be a nurse threatened to withhold a ventilator from a potential patient because he supports President Donald Trump. Erika Waters, who described herself as an "RN Practitioner" in her Twitter bio, suggested that she would deny the man a ventilator due to his pro-Trump face mask.
"My wife sewed this face mask today to protect me from the Wuhan Virus and show support for President Trump," a man named George Martan tweeted.
To this, Waters responded, "I'll see you in ER. Please wear your mask so when we have to decide who gets the vent, it'll be easier. Thanks."
This tweet inspired a great deal of understandable outrage and some Twitter users reported the tweet to the social media company as a "threat."
As of Thursday, Waters's account (@NaplesAlleycat) has been deleted. Yet both the account and the tweet are still cached and accessible on Google." Continues @ link.

Ever wondered where they found the people to staff the Death Camps? There are always some "people", hopefully few, of this character hidden in the general population.
[Gatestone] The ruling effectively removes the sovereignty of EU member states to make their own decisions regarding the keeping of public law, order and national security in the case of EU migration policies, if those decisions conflict with EU obligations.
In addition, the ruling of the court goes against evidence that migration flows into Europe do indeed constitute a real security danger that has cost European lives. Continental Suicide Pact™
How national authorities are supposed to distinguish between actual "war refugees" and terrorists impersonating war refugees is not suggested by the Court, which appears curiously uninterested in dealing with the reality of migration.
The Court's ruling does not only contradict facts and common sense. It sends the distinct signal to foreign regimes, such as that of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that sending migrants to the continent for whatever purpose, even political blackmail, will be successful, because European institutions, such as the EU Court of Justice, will do their utmost to ensure that even the most rebellious EU member states, such as Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, will be forced to receive them.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic broke EU law when they refused to take in migrants under the European Union's September 2015 relocation agreement. During the 2015 migrant crisis, EU leaders agreed to relocate 160,000 migrants and refugees EU-wide, assigning each EU member state a fixed quota from the camps in Italy and Greece, where migrants and refugees were arriving in record numbers. However, the Czech Republic accepted only 12 of the 2,000 refugees assigned it, while Hungary and Poland took in none.
In 2017, the EU took Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) over that refusal to take migrants. On April 2, 2020, the CJEU ruled against the three countries. The ruling followed the October 2019 recommendation by the Court's Advocate General, legal advisor to the Court, which said that EU law must be followed and that the EU's principle of solidarity "necessarily sometimes implies accepting burden-sharing".
In its judgment, the Court dismissed the three countries' argument that they were entitled to refuse the relocation scheme based on concerns for the maintenance of law and order and the safeguarding of internal security. The Court agreed that those concerns constituted legitimate reasons to derogate from obligations of EU law[1]. However, the Court ruled that EU member states refusing to take in migrants under the relocation scheme could only legitimately do so if they proved, "following a case-by-case investigation, on consistent, objective and specific evidence that provides grounds for suspecting that the applicant in question represents an actual or potential danger"....

You and who's army? Brussels is Moscow just with better suits.

So the course is clear for Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. They must exit the EU.

Italy was already giving Brussels the jitters. Now, after all that overwhelming support (sarc) out of the EU to support bella Italia during this CV crisis, I wouldn't be surprised if the calls to leave the EU grow louder. Buona fortuna a tutti!

When the EEC (and its prior names/structures) became less a trade/tariff community and more a political union, that is when things really went down hill, especially one essentially run by France and Germany. Surely after the fall of the Soviet Union, eastern European countries were probably eager to "join Western Europe". Psych!
[NY Post] A majority of Democrats want to nominate New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for president instead of Joe Biden, according to poll results shared exclusively with The Post.
The national poll found 56 percent of Democrats prefer Cuomo, with 44 percent wanting to stick with presumptive nominee Biden ‐ a 12-point margin well outside the 4.8 percent margin of error for the Democratic sample. Maybe the Dem debates started too soon.

They'd poll for Mickey Mouse if he had a "D" after his name and they thought he had a shot at winning.
“Twice impeached, never convicted.” Now there’s something for the record books!
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Trump can make history as the first President to be impeached twice. I mean, if putting lives in danger by pushing a drug for personal gain during a pandemic isn’t impeachmable, we should just throw in the towel. https://t.co/u7HoMMVDt4

Maybe this term. If Dems hold the House and Trump is re-elected, then definitely the next term. Doesn't matter for what - they've proven they are willing to just make up sh!t.
Some video clips in with the URL.
[SummitNews] Presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... said Wednesday that the coronavirus has ’helped’ his campaign.
When asked if the virus spread had hurt his campaign, Biden said "Based on the polling data, it’s helped me."
He took a swipe at President Trump, adding "The more he speaks, the more my numbers go up."
"I’m not being facetious." Biden added.
Imagine the meltdown that would ensue if Trump said this.
In the rest of the spluttering segment, Biden had to literally pause for a second to recall the number 13 and it’s difference from the number 3.
He also mixed up ABC News with ’Face The Nation’, a show on CBS News....
[Dallas News] For the July primary runoffs, and perhaps the November general election, ballots that are mailed instead of cast in-person could largely determine winners and losers ‐ and change the way political campaigns are conducted in the coronavirus era. Define "era". The fight against the coronavirus has delayed the runoffs, originally scheduled for May 26, until July 14. But it’s unclear if Texas will have turned the corner in the battle by then. Residents could still be wary of going to polling places for fear of coming in contact with infected people. Especially if such a fear suits your narrative.
Seniors have an easy solution. Texas law allows anyone older than 65 to vote by mail. Political analysts expect that group to be as important as ever, as many older residents are already accustomed to mailing their ballots. As of now, seniors, the sick and people with disabilities are the only non-absentee residents who can vote by mail. So seniors will have an unfair advantage in the upcoming elections unless everybody gets mail in voting. Q.E.D.
Republican consultant Bill Miller said the coronavirus will have a chilling effect on the entire electorate.
"To get people to leave a safe environment to go to a polling place is going to be a hard sell," Miller said. "With voting it's always been ‘Do I want to be bothered?' Now this is an ‘I can get sick and die' situation. Many voters are going to sit this one out." Even some Republicans can suffer from hysteria, so it must be true.

It's no wonder that there are so many allegations of fudging the numbers of deaths (sad that they are, of course) from COVID-19 (SARS-V2), not just from the financial angle but also to keep the "era", "narrative", and "hysteria" alive.
If this COVID-19 teaches Americans one thing, I hope it is to be a little less of a spendthrift. I wonder how many suddenly unemployed people wish they hadn't bought that 650-inch smart TV or blew their income tax refund or have credit cards max'ed out all that the loan-shark interest rate of a good 18%.

Simple enough.
The IRS has a pretty good handle on who paid their taxes (I still have my refund, thank you). Easy enough to ballot ship and 'return in the self addressed, stamped envelop'.

Remember the Card Check push under the previous administration? Imagine how (quote) efficient (un-quote) voting would be if everyone was counted as voting exactly the way they were registered because "Democrats only vote Democrat, right?". Of course registering for the political party that opposes the party in power might have, as the say, ...consequences.
It would make things easier for the people stuffing ballot boxes full of fake ballots from dead and imaginary voters.

NoF'nWay are we going to have no voter ID and mail in votes. I think the pushback by the left for having social distancing and keeping everything shut down up to election time is an effort to get mail-in-votes and no voter ID implemented. That would enable huge opportunities for cheating and rigging in the 2020 election. Trust nothing the Dems want to do.
[BigLeaguePolitics] Following news of socialist hero Bernie Sanders suspending his campaign for the Democrat nomination for President, some of his most extreme supporters made their voices heard with explicit calls for violence.
As soon as the announcement was made via live-stream, a dedicated segment of his supporters began using the hashtag #GUILLOTINE2020, seemingly advocating for using guillotines to behead their political enemies.
I want Jeff Bezos head in a guillotine. Then Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mike Bloomberg, and of course, Donald Trump.
They shut down Bernie's political revolution, the only choice is a real revolution.#GUILLOTINE2020" More @ link. And the Twatter site #GUILLOTINE2020, referenced in the article, is worth a visit.

This will be nothing. They'd have to get their parents permission to go have their revolt and they don't have any guns, so it'd be over in 5 minutes anyway.
