“Real Time” host Bill Maher said Friday that both the public and medical professionals are exaggerating the danger of the coronavirus. “People die! That’s what happens in life.”
He noted that California has declared a state of emergency over the disease while Disneyland remains open. “Disneyland: It will leave you breathless.”
“Speaking of overreactions,” Maher said after talking about former MSNBC host Chris Matthew’s sudden departure from television. “I’m over this virus. I haven’t had it. What I’m saying is, I’m sick. I don’t mean that, either. I’m sick of the virus — but not from the virus. At this point, I just fu**ing want to get it so we don’t have to talk about it or worry about touching my face anymore.” (RELATED: Bill Maher: Trump Had ‘His Best Week Ever,’ He Will Be ‘Hard To Beat’)
He added, “The way they talk about it on the news … They make it sound like if you’re within six feet of anyone who has it, just get your affairs in order.”
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, who was a guest on the show, disagreed.
“It’s bad,” Douthat said, referencing the importance the federal government has placed on the illness. On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an emergency funding bill that allocates $8.3 billion to fight the outbreak. (RELATED: Bill Maher: Political Correctness Is A ‘Cancer On Progressivism’)
“I’m just talking about the disease itself,” Maher said. “It could be something really, really virulent, but as I said last week at the top of the show with our expert, the response is to have a good immune system. And it’s really the only response.”
Maher suggested “the regular flu” killed 61,000 people in 2019 but that’s a statistic rarely shared.


thedailycaller--2020-03-07--HUDOME: Sexism Is An Excuse, Not A Reason

Failed Democrat presidential candidate and United States Sen. Elizabeth Warren has sufficiently positioned herself as a proxy victim for every woman denied a female president .
And , somehow , we should all accept without question that sexism was the root cause of her failed campaign .
When voters are looking for attributes in a president , college professor hasn ’ t been in vogue since Woodrow Wilson .
Pedantic lecturing is an unappealing habit of the ivory tower crowd Warren hangs with .
I ’ m not privy to any crosstabs on this topic so I ’ ll have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bet not every self-identified feminist thought Medicare for All was a viable program .
I ’ m also gon na go with a lot of feminists honored their student loan contracts and paid them off .
Don ’ t think for a moment that voters didn ’ t find it strange Warren couldn ’ t sufficiently explain how she would pay for her radical health care plan .
After all , she was the candidate smarter than everyone else and smart enough to have a plan for everything .
Unfortunately for Warren , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along in prime time and grabbed the “ smartest candidate on stage ” baton .
Think about this : Warren allowed socialist and Castro sympathizer Bernie Sanders to move her in his direction and closer to socialism .
That doesn ’ t exactly invoke images of a strong leader , something voters want in a president , and something they saw in Donald Trump in 2016 .
If only lemmings could vote .
Warren says her biggest regret is that little girls will have to wait another four years for a female president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be referring to Republican and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley .
This is a laudable regret .
Our nation loves history-making moments .
For sure , the day America has a female president , we shall all be proud .
I worked my tail off for John McCain for whom I had great respect and admiration , and who would have been among our greatest presidents .
Yet I understood the historical significance of Barack Obama ’ s win .
Warren has managed to fan the flames of the faux argument that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was resented .
Inherent in this logic is she is more accomplished than Joe Biden or Michael Bloomberg and others .
Yet , in spite of her grand accomplishments and sterling curriculum vitae , she was denied the nomination based on envy or jealousy or , of course , sexism .
Identity politics isn ’ t only a losing strategy , it is wholly unattractive .
Whoops !
Is “ attractive ” sexist ?
I ’ m not sure .
Can ’ t keep the rules straight .
The point is whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Sunday news show , Warren didn ’ t sell .
The reasons are myriad .
When you fail to win your home state by coming in third place , fail to break into second place anywhere , it would be an exercise in self-flagellation to suffer through PowerPoint presentations enumerating all the reasons one lost .
That ’ s why an “ excuse ” suits Warren more than a factual “ reason.
” Warren ’ s sexism excuse doesn ’ t pass the laugh test .
What I can ’ t figure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insulted by Warren .
Because for them , she hasn ’ t moved the ball down the field .

When voters are looking for attributes in a president, college professor hasn’t been in vogue since Woodrow Wilson. Pedantic lecturing is an unappealing habit of the ivory tower crowd Warren hangs with.
I’m not privy to any crosstabs on this topic so I’ll have to go with my gut: I bet not every self-identified feminist thought Medicare for All was a viable program. I’m also gonna go with a lot of feminists honored their student loan contracts and paid them off.
Don’t think for a moment that voters didn’t find it strange Warren couldn’t sufficiently explain how she would pay for her radical health care plan. After all, she was the candidate smarter than everyone else and smart enough to have a plan for everything. Unfortunately for Warren, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg came along in prime time and grabbed the “smartest candidate on stage” baton.
Think about this: Warren allowed socialist and Castro sympathizer Bernie Sanders to move her in his direction and closer to socialism. That doesn’t exactly invoke images of a strong leader, something voters want in a president, and something they saw in Donald Trump in 2016. If only lemmings could vote.
Warren says her biggest regret is that little girls will have to wait another four years for a female president. Most certainly she can’t be referring to Republican and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. This is a laudable regret. Our nation loves history-making moments.
For sure, the day America has a female president, we shall all be proud. I worked my tail off for John McCain for whom I had great respect and admiration, and who would have been among our greatest presidents. Yet I understood the historical significance of Barack Obama’s win.

Inherent in this logic is she is more accomplished than Joe Biden or Michael Bloomberg and others. Yet, in spite of her grand accomplishments and sterling curriculum vitae, she was denied the nomination based on envy or jealousy or, of course, sexism.
Identity politics isn’t only a losing strategy, it is wholly unattractive. Whoops! Is “attractive” sexist? I’m not sure. Can’t keep the rules straight. The point is whether at a Grange Hall in Iowa or a Sunday news show, Warren didn’t sell. The reasons are myriad.
When you fail to win your home state by coming in third place, fail to break into second place anywhere, it would be an exercise in self-flagellation to suffer through PowerPoint presentations enumerating all the reasons one lost. That’s why an “excuse” suits Warren more than a factual “reason.”
Warren’s sexism excuse doesn’t pass the laugh test. What I can’t figure out is why feminists aren’t insulted by Warren. Because for them, she hasn’t moved the ball down the field.

As Top Historians Ring Alarm Bells About NYT’s 1619 Project, Defiant Public Schools Refuse To Answer Questions

“ On August 19 of last year I listened in stunned silence as Nikole Hannah-Jones , a reporter for the New York Times , repeated an idea that I had vigorously argued against , ” reads the first sentence of Friday ’ s essay by Leslie Harris , a history professor at Northwestern University .
Harris is just the latest in a string of academics to levy criticism on Hannah-Jones and the 1619 Project .
She is the first , however , who actually took part in the project as a fact-checker .
During the publication process for 1619 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the American Revolution was actually about preserving slavery .
Nonetheless , there it was in print come August 2019 .
While Harris cautions that some conservatives are too quick to call the whole project a wash , she is among a handful of American History academics ringing alarm bells that the project should issue corrections .
These calls also come as several public school systems signal their intent to add 1619 to their curriculums .
Written by journalists and opinion writers , the project attempts “ to reframe the country ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ true founding ” was when the first slaves arrived in 1619 .
Within days of its launch , multiple top historians pointed out glaring factual inaccuracies .
Their concerns , however , went largely ignored , save for one response from NYT editor Josh Silverstein essentially dismissing a letter sent by five such historians .
The historians persisted , turning to op-eds and the World Socialist Web Site to urge the publication to take a second look at some of its reporting .
Historian Gordon Wood , a professor at Brown University @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Silverstein , giving the editor-in-chief permission to publish .
“ In the long run the Project will lose its credibility , standing , and persuasiveness with the nation as a whole , ” Wood wrote in the letter , which urged the publication to issue corrections .
This letter , previously obtained by the Daily Caller , was never published by the NYT .
In the meantime , the “ 1619 Project ” had quickly begun to infiltrate American public schools , spreading from New York to California – complete with all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out .
“ The schools can say they ’ re not responsible , and they can turn to the parents and say you ’ re not responsible , ” Bob Woodson , founder of The Woodson Center and the “ 1776 ” initiative , which is aimed at rebutting the NYT 1619 Project , told the Daily Caller .
“ None of us are responsible for their failures .
As long as they can keep attention riveted in some unseen forces resulting from institutional racism … then , they don ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black children failing in systems run by their own people ?
” Woodson has been a leader in the black community for decades , working to help communities improve and thrive .
Currently , the 1619 project has been implemented by Chicago Public Schools , who repeatedly refused to respond to any questions from the Daily Caller .
Buffalo Public Schools also implemented the “ 1619 Project , ” telling the Daily Caller that it was added into the curriculum in part because “ slavery is taught in a factually inaccurate , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obvious from the response you ’ re getting that the public schools are just embracing this curriculum coming from ‘ 1619 ’ and allegedly it ’ s being done to assist in improving the learning of students , ” according to Woodson .
“ I think the fact is that all of the attention of 1619 is on external causes of black dysfunction , and rather than inspiring students to achieve , it ’ s providing the school system with another excuse for their failure .
If they can convince parents and students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underachieving has to do with some distant problem 250 years ago , then it exempts anybody from any responsibility to solving the problem.
” Along with Chicago Public Schools and Buffalo Public Schools districts , the Daily Caller reached out to multiple individual schools within the district .
Not a single school responded .
Schools that ignored requests for comment included Chicago-based Belding Elementary , Acero Schools – of which there are fifteen , Back Of The Yards High School , Englewood STEM High School , Christian Fenger Academy High School , Infinity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy , Horizon Science Academy Southwest , Chicago Hope Academy , Whitney M. Young Magnet High School and Hyde Park Academy High School .
“ We can certainly see a need for teaching students from multiple perspectives and the 1619 provides for our students with a diversity of thought on the topic and a curriculum of inclusion , ” Buffalo Public Schools ’ associate superintendent Fatima Morrell told the Daily Caller .
“ As we teach about the existing impact of status quo inequalities today , the 1619 Project @ @ @ @ @ @ @ curriculum.
” Buffalo Public Schools began its implementation with “ an initial roll-out with all 11th and 12th graders in the District receiving a copy of the magazine and engaging in activities from the podcast on ‘ The Idea of America ’ and lessons from the Pulitzer Center , ” Morrell said .
Lesson plans are already underway within the district , and teachers will be trained “ at various points throughout the rest of this year.
” “ Principals , teachers , and students have expressed strong interest in the readings as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accurate depiction of the atrocities of the institution of slavery have never been taught before , ” according to Morrell .
“ There is a lot of interest , especially among students.
” Buffalo Public Schools dodged the Daily Caller ’ s requests for responses to the concerns the historians raised .
Buffalo Public Schools chose instead to focus on Silverstein ’ s public response to the historian ’ s letter , published in the NYT Dec 2019 .
“ The very premise of the 1619 Project , in fact , is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afflict the nation are a direct result of the unhealed wound created by 250 years of slavery and an additional century of second-class citizenship and white-supremacist terrorism inflicted on black people , ” Silverstein wrote .
“ The rampant discrimination that black people continue to face across nearly every aspect of American life suggests that neither the framework of the Constitution nor the strenuous efforts of political leaders in the past and the present , both white and black , has yet been able to achieve the democratic ideals of the founding for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Woodson said that the implementation of the NYT project among high schools around the country is “ the most disastrous thing ” he has “ seen in the last four decades.
” “ It can have devastating impact , ” Woodson said .
“ They ’ re already underperforming , and now rather than introducing into this population a set of ideas that will inspire them , to say to them that ‘ you can achieve regardless of the circumstances into which you were born.
’ What they ’ re doing is just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to them , ‘ you ’ re not responsible for any unfortunate or negative outcomes because you live in a racist society that does not like you and is hostile to your interests . '
” Buffalo Public Schools added that they “ want our students to know the basis for these racial inequalities we experience today.
” The school district decided to add the project “ as another perspective on the legacy of enslavement , and as a missing enzyme in the current mandated curriculum , ” the superintendent said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ academically if they know the true history of enslavement and will be able to appreciate the historical brilliance of black people who overcame so much oppression and dehumanization under the institution of chattel slavery , we see it as an emancipation curriculum for all students , ” Morrell told the Daily Caller .
“ This is a story that is not told from the perspective of people of color in our curriculum , so the NYT has provided for us an alternate , and more accurate perspective.
” The school district declined to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The superintendent noted that the new curriculum “ raises the voices of the historically marginalized and disenfranchised.
” Morrell said that Buffalo Public Schools is a district “ that is approximately 80 % of color , ” making the addition important .
“ It did not replace traditional eurocentric history lessons we currently teach , we added this alongside it as another perspective from experts in the field , ” according to Morrell , who did not mention that the project is written by opinion writers and journalists , not historians .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Princeton University and one of the historians who wrote the concerned letter to the NYT , told the Daily Caller that they have all been “ frustrated ” by the publication ’ s response .
He added that he is “ concerned ” that public schools are now teaching future generations history based off the “ 1619 Project.
” “ My colleagues and I have been frustrated by the main theme in the NYTimes ’ response to our critique that our differences with the points made by the authors ( particularly in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerned matters of interpretation , not facts , while most of our objections to the project concerned factual matters , ” McPherson told the Daily Caller , “ not interpretations concerning the positions of the leaders of the American Revolution on slavery , the important role of white abolitionists and civil rights activists in campaigns for freedom and civil rights , and the evolving actions of Lincoln and congressional Republicans against slavery during the Civil War.
” The historian also said that he hopes the critiques addressed numerous times will “ have alerted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ RELATED : ‘ It ’ s Embarrassing That The New York Times Is Doing This ’ : Conservatives React To The NYT ‘ 1619 Project ’ ) “ I ’ m concerned , but I hope that our critiques might have alerted teachers who use the material to provide balance in their own critical use of it and to point out errors of fact as well as possible biases in interpretation , ” McPherson said .

Sanders wasn’t the only one drawing comparisons between himself and Biden on Saturday. Dr. Steven Thrasher is a professor at Northwestern University and campaign surrogate. In his speech which preceded Sanders’, Dr. Thrasher noted, “Who can we trust in these times for our physical health? Can we trust status quo Joe Biden, who is beholden to the pharmaceutical companies of Wall Street that profit from our pain? No, we can trust Bernie Sanders.”
The status quo moniker was used repeatedly by Dr. Thrasher. “For queer and trans health, can we trust status quo Joe who supported bans on gay marriage and military service in the 90s? No, we can trust Bernie Sanders who publicly supported us decades before it was convenient,’ Dr. Thrasher said.
Sanders also made it clear that Trump is every Democrats’ main target. “Today, we make it clear that we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country,” Sanders said, “The good news is that of all eighteen candidates we all understand that at the end of the day we are going to get behind the winner, because we know that together our differences are far, far, less than they are with this dangerous president.”
Four politicians who endorsed Sanders also spoke. Those were two Chicago alderwomen, Sue Sadlowski Garza and Jeanette Taylor, Robert Peters, an Illinois State Senator, and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, a US Congressman from Illinois.
Illinois will have its primary on March 17.
