From Ace of Spades:
Things are rapidly spinning into a dystopian police state in some areas.
I would say I pity those who meekly voted for enslavement, but I do not.
I would say I pity those that meekly follow their orders into the teeth of an armed populace, but I do not.
I would say I pity the children of both parties, and I mean that wholeheartedly.
It is not the fault of the innocent that their parents choose either the shackles or the strong arm of tyranny.
The over-reaction to this wu-flu is a genie that will be nigh impossible to put back into its bottle. We have set a new standard for dealing with large-scale crises, and that standard is unprecedented power to the state.
There are no saints who pursue, much less win, public office. There are only people with a will to power, certain of their own cause.
As much as I have grown to appreciate President Trump, I don't trust him nor any other elected official to give back any power they have attained, no matter how pure their intentions may be.
I pray all choose wisely from here on. The alternative could make us all wish instead for the casualties predicted in those ridiculous wu-flu computer models.

Around the campfire the other night, we brought this subject up: the concern is that the usual suspects who are thanking Trump are, in a way, acknowledging the precedents set for if/when one of their team get into the Oval Office and cite Trump's action as gospel. If you heard random thunderclaps one evening it was when firearms/ammo were recognized as vital.

Politicians are not too keen in preventing problems in the first place. They are reactionary, and then it "shows" that they are "doing something". Preventing something (not just coronavirus stuff) isn't all that sexy.
[Daily Wire] After weeks of criticizing President Trump, often unfairly, for his response to the coronavirus pandemic, The New York Times published a lengthy and rather damning piece on Wednesday detailing the belated and at times counterproductive response of the two most prominent Democratic leaders in New York: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. For, finally, providing a more even-handed critique of the Democratic politicians calling the shots at the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S., some of the Times’ readers have thanked the paper, though many made a point of noting that the critique was coming rather late in the game.
"For many days after the first positive test, as the coronavirus silently spread throughout the New York region, Mr. Cuomo, Mr. de Blasio and their top aides projected an unswerving confidence that the outbreak would be readily contained," the Times reports. I can hardly wait for their rebuttal.

BFD - they'll be back to full-time Trump bashing on Monday; they're just doing this so they can (unconvincingly) say 'we're even handed' (kinda, sorta, not really).

[Just The News] Declassified footnote lays out intelligence community concerns about Steele's ties to Russia and disinformation
Key FBI officials failed to review an intelligence file identifying Christopher Steele's ties to Russian oligarchs and were later advised some of the information he provided agents in his dossier appeared to be misinformation planted by Russian intelligence, according to declassified information made public Friday.
The explosive revelations were contained in footnotes that had been originally redacted from Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's December report on FBI failures in the Russia case. The information was provided to two Senate committees in recent days.
One of the newly declassified footnotes highlights a glaring misstep early in the Russia case, when key officials failed to review the intelligence control file for Steele, a former MI6 agent who approached the FBI with unverified allegations about Trump after he was hired to do opposition research by the firm working for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
Checking such files is a basic procedure in a counterintelligence probe when an informant is involved, officials told Just the News. Really no sense looking for that which you have no desire to find.
The footnote states that an FBI intelligence analyst and a supervisory special agent working on the Crossfire Hurricane probe admitted they "did not recall reviewing information in Steele's Delta file documenting Steele's frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarchs in 2015."
"In addition to the information in Steele's Delta file documenting Steele's frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarch, we identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received [redacted] indicating the potential for Russia disinformation influencing Steele's election reporting," a second footnote revealed.
Specifically, that footnote added: "A [redacted] 2017 report relayed information from [redacted] outlining an inaccuracy in a limited subset of Steele's reporting about the activities of (former Trump lawyer) Michael Cohen. The [redacted] stated that it did not have high confidence in this subset of Steele's reporting and assessed that the referenced subset was part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate U.S. foreign relations."

Russian involvement? I know that claim has been made repeatedly by our media but I haven't seen any evidence yet. This was largely a home-grown effort by the left/Deepstate (read as previous administration) with some input from foreign sources to keep Trump from getting elected and then take him down after he was elected.
#7
My shocked face is in storage
I smelled a rat from the beginning and knew that some of the last minute order sent out by Rice pointed the way to this being a palace coup
#8
Just in case anyone forgot, Steele's claims we're so f---ing obviously false, even a child with rudimentary knowledge of Russia and Russians could have seen that the man pulled them out of thin air.
Start with the fact that Trump like any westerner has absolutely zero chance of scoring a beneficial real estate deal in the heart of center-city, inner ring Moscow. Add the fact that Trump the germophobic hotel owner could not possibly even imagine soiling the presidential suite of someone else's hotel-- let alone doing so as an idiotic means of spiting an American guest at that hotel.
Who the f--- could come up with such a retarded scenario?
Answer: a pair of drunks at a bar, when one drunk is a mendacious and greedy, incompetent hack on the make and the other is a Russian agent plying the former with Krystal.

Supervisor Special Agent FBI pay $164,028 per GlassDoor. Corrupt politician to over paid corrupt bureaucrat, "Don't forget who got you that kind of income."
[MYNORTHWEST] A week ago, Jay Inslee slammed our federal government for not doing enough for our state.
"The fact is, we cannot get as much help as we would like from the federal government", he said.
This was a week after the United States Army, under orders from the Trump administration, sent hundreds of soldiers to build a 250-bed hospital at the Century Link Field Events Center.
That hospital has sat empty ever since. Not one patient. On Wednesday, Inslee announced that he wanted the facility disassembled and sent back to the federal government. How much do you think think this assembly and disassembly is costing taxpayers? No one will give me a figure.
Earlier this week, Inslee announced that he is returning 400 ventilators to the feds that we don’t need.
A week ago, he said the administration wasn’t doing enough for our state. Now, it’s clear, they’ve done way too much. A person of integrity would apologize for his phony criticism. That apology, of course, will never come.
Also, given that we are killing our regional economy based on the data that led to the unnecessary hospital and ventilator requests, is it any wonder that skepticism is growing about the decisions that are wiping out the financial lives of business owners and the unemployed?

On Wednesday, Inslee announced that he wanted the facility disassembled and sent back to the federal government.
Of course, once the quarantine is eased, covid may brake out again - will he ask for the hospital to be reassembled?
#3
It depends on how well the meds work and how readily they are supplied, g(r)omgoru. If, as I suspect, this becomes a normal treatable illness, no reason to rebuild the hospitals.
#5
Come November, it will be interesting just how politicized COVID-19 becomes. If this fades away like others flus before it, then all these Inslee types need to be drummed out of office toute suite, be they Gov's, Rep's, or Sen's.
[BREITBART] Documentary filmmaker and far-left activist Michael Moore is blaming white men for the rise of President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... , saying in his podcast that white males must "make amends" for the current administration.
The Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine director devoted a significant amount of time near the end of his podcast Rumble with Michael Moore to railing against conservative white men.
"Men — especially white men have a big responsibility to make amends for the Trump era," Moore said on Thursday. "Those amends will happen. People will see the error of their ways." It’s worth noting that, in the 2016 election, Trump won 52 percent of white women votes and 52 percent of the male vote overall.
Moore also said the days of white men being the dominant demographic in the U.S. are numbered. "They will be the minority. They’re already the minority."

Funny how so many lefty-entrepreneurs -- that 'Young Turk' no-neck shithead is just the latest -- seem to follow Fat White Mikey's practice of trashing his own employees' efforts to unionize.
[BREITBART] Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) reportedly said on Thursday that he has fantasized about holding up coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... disinfectant from Kentuckians to make Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) pass more Democrat measures.
Malinowski, a Democrat representing New Jersey’s seventh congressional district, said in a call that he would threaten McConnell by withholding Lysol for his constituents.
"Fun fact about Somerset County [New Jersey], we make 100 percent of the national supply of Lysol disinfectant," he said in a video obtained by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). "I’ve thought about using with Mitch McConnell, like, ’Hey, we’re going to hold up the Lysol for Kentucky until you pass her" bill.
[TOWNHALL] During a virtual town hall event on unemployment and issues facing working families, Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... claimed that people refer to him as a "foreign policy expert." They refer to me as a suave ladies' man, too.
The comment came after the former vice president gave a long-winded response to a woman who had just lost her job and asked how laid off union workers can keep the healthcare coverage they had. How to say “I don't know” in 600 words or more.
"As you and I have talked about this, senator, I’m always talked about as being a foreign policy expert, healthcare is more complicated than foreign policy," he told Nevada state Sen. Yvanna Cancela, who moderated the event. "Healthcare is complicated. It really is daunting for an awful lot of people." All of which has squat to do with the lady's health insurance.
But Robert Gates, who served as President Obama's Defense Secretary, described Biden as being quite the opposite. Probably his hair sniffing habit comes up more often in conversation.
"I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," he wrote in his book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War."

The presidential debates should be interesting. Not certain how the Orange Man will handle Joe. That defibrillator and drip mounted to Biden's podium may inhibit more free and candid exchanges.

That Joe! He's like the Paul Erlich of foreign policy.
Sorry Joe, but people calling you that just doesn't make it so. People call me "That REDACTED!" all time, but it doesn't mean I am. Not totally, anyway.
[FREEBEACON] Biden told a local Philadelphia news station on Tuesday that he and Trump "agreed we wouldn't go into detail" beyond acknowledging they had a phone call to discuss the pandemic. In that same interview, however, Biden disclosed the recommendations he offered the president. "The generic suggestion I made is the federal responsibility, a federal response is necessary," Biden said. "And that I thought we needed one supply commander, nationally, and identifying where all the product needed was and how to distribute it around the country."
In a Tuesday night interview on CNN, Biden was pressed to break his silence by anchor Chris Cuomo, who asked Biden, "Why is it a good thing for the American people for you guys to talk but us not really know what happened?" The former vice president responded by detailing exactly what he recommended to the president.
"I laid out the five things I thought he should be doing now and suggested how I thought he should go about doing," Biden said before laying out his suggestions, which beyond the appointment of a supply commander were to fully implement the Defense Production Act, open up enrollment for Obamacare ...aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... , ramp up testing, and collect more data on African Americans who have caught the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... Biden on Wednesday continued to detail his call with Trump during a virtual fundraiser, according to Brittany Shepherd of Yahoo! News, who wrote in her pool report that Biden "briefly touched on his phone conversation" with Trump during his meeting with donors. Biden not only went into further detail to the donors about what he suggested to Trump, but also how Trump responded, according to the report.
"[Biden] also suggested that Trump appoint a supply commander to oversee the distribution," Shepherd wrote. "Trump suggested, according to Biden, that a rear admiral is taking up that responsibility to some degree. But Biden does not think that is enough."
The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment on his discussions of the phone call with Trump. A White House front man declined to comment on the call with Biden or detail any arrangement made to keep it private.

The span between when did he know and when did he forget is diminishing exponentially. No later than October I expect a Silver Alert.
[BREITBART] Judicial Watch, a watchdog organization, has filed a lawsuit against North Carolina and two of its counties for having nearly one million inactive voters on their voting rolls.
On Thursday, Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against North Carolina, Mecklenburg County, and Guildford County, alleging that state election officials have failed to clean voter rolls in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
North Carolina, according to its own state data, has nearly one million inactive registered voters on its voter rolls. Likewise, Judicial Watch alleges that Mecklenburg County and Guilford County each have more registered voters on their rolls than the total number of eligible voters in the regions.
For example, Judicial Watch analysis finds that Mecklenburg County has a voter registration rate of 107 percent, while Guilford County has a voter registration rate of 102 percent. In Mecklenburg County, Judicial Watch alleges there are about 115,000 inactive voters on the voter rolls, and in Guilford County there are about 72,000 inactive voters.
According to Judicial Watch, about 17 percent of North Carolina’s voter registrations are inactive as of 2019 ‐ making it the fifth-highest state in the country for inactive registered voters. The average state has an inactive registered voter rate of about 9.6 percent.
In about 19 North Carolina counties, Judicial Watch alleges, there are 20 percent or more inactive voter registrations that remain on the voter rolls. Three counties have an inactive voter registration rate of 25 percent or more.
Specifically, about 15.5 percent of Mecklenburg County’s voter registrations are inactive, while 18 percent of Guilford County’s voter registrations are inactive.
The court brief comes as left-wing organizations, funded by billionaire George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... , are spearheading a nationwide effort to hold mail-in state primaries and nationwide mail-in voting for the 2020 presidential election.
Election expert Eric Eggers, research director of the Government Accountability Insititute, has said such a plan would potentially send mail-in ballots to an estimated 24 million ineligible voters ‐ including two million dead voters and nearly three million voters who are registered to vote in more than one state.

Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 43.35777 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist...

Hayes said, "You’ve served in Congress for a long time. You’ve seen different congressional caucuses come and go, different leadership structures, different presidents. Does it strike you, I’m curious how it strikes you to watch Republicans who, during the B.O. regime, particularly everything was austerity, where is the money coming from? How are you going to pay for that? Today say hey, we got to load up $250 billion, let’s have a vote on it today. A striking turn about it seems to me."

The media and the left will be spinning this tail until the end of time.
People normally don't pay attention until July of an election year. Unfortunately for the left and the media, they are now as they have nothing else to do. This virus has moved so quickly, the lies the left told haven't had time to fade from memory before a new and contradictory one is spewed forth.
The public is seeing it, and taking note. Trust in media is all but gone now and Trump has the highest approval rates ever.
November is a long way away, but I doubt this will go well for the demoncrats at that time now that the public has been paying attention.
