wnd--2020-05-14--2 sets of rules: The elites' rank hypocrisy

With each passing day , it becomes clearer that the United States has two sets of rules : one for the elites in the Democratic Party , the media and the entertainment industry , and a different one for Republicans and us poor slobs in flyover country .
Take the COVID-19 lockdown .
While our economy goes into free fall , we 're told by politicians that businesses must stay closed , and everyone must stay home and engage in social distancing .
Illinois , for example , is on lockdown until the end of this month , per Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Meanwhile , Pritzger 's wife jets off to Florida .
And Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot ( also a Democrat ) gets to go to the salon to have her hair done .
The press exaggerates and misstates President Donald Trump 's every utterance but ignores House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 's absurd invitation to go visit Chinatown in San Francisco at the outset of the global pandemic , and forgives New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo 's earlier order requiring nursing homes – which have suffered the highest death rates from the virus – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ double standard is even more egregious when it comes to the media 's treatment of Tara Reade 's accusations of sexual assault against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden .
Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh 's 2018 confirmation hearings were a feeding frenzy .
Christine Blasey Ford wrote a letter to her congresswoman in which she accused Kavanaugh of having kissed and groped her decades earlier at a high school party .
The letter made its way to Sen. Dianne Feinstein , whose office allegedly leaked the letter to the press .
Ford @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the way , never accused Kavanaugh of rape .
But that did n't stop the outrage chorus from calling Kavanaugh a rapist .
Due process be damned , the left – male and female – rallied under the # BelieveWomen banner , insisting that the mere accusation meant Kavanaugh should be presumed guilty .
Reade , on the other hand , has accused Biden of rape , and more recently – in 1993 , when he was a U.S. senator .
But he 's a Democrat , so the rules are different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long as it could and then dismissed it , Reade 's corroborating evidence notwithstanding .
Biden , of course , has denied Reade 's allegation .
He ( unlike Kavanaugh ) is , of course , to be believed .
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer proclaimed Biden 's denial is `` sufficient . ''
The same Feinstein who had no trouble standing behind Ford and her 35-year-old accusations said of Reade , `` I do n't know this person at all who has made the allegations .
She came out of nowhere .

Yeah, OK.
Feinstein is not the only feminist to sell out.

This only adds to the stench surrounding the FBI's unlawful efforts – including misleading federal judges – to spy on the Trump campaign (and, after Trump won the presidential election, on the incoming Trump administration) under a fictitious pretense of "collusion" with Russia.

They're wrong.
There are two major risks to this behavior. The first is that when one side abandons standards, eventually, both sides do. We're watching this phenomenon play out. The same people who needed smelling salts when Trump used nasty language told us, "It's just sex," when President Clinton engaged in sexual encounters with an intern in the Oval Office – and then lied about it under oath.
Eventually, it won't just be politicians who abandon all semblance of virtue; it will be widespread, with all the corresponding cultural decay that this entails.
The second risk is perhaps more personal. That is the possibility that Americans will finally get fed up with the double standards, the lies, the hypocrisy and go after those who profit from it all. One can argue (and I have) that Trump's election was, in no small part, such a reaction.
But the left – particularly the media – never learns. It doubles down. It reminds me a bit of the French nobility in 1788, still frantically clinging to the ancien regime. The stubbornness and sense of entitlement so prevalent in France's ruling class didn't end well for it.
Those who consider themselves our betters should take heed. It's highly unlikely that they'll lose their heads. But a great many of them should lose their jobs.


wnd--2020-05-14--How we get to the bottom of Obama team's domestic spying

Michael Flynn did not seem to be the best choice President-elect Donald Trump could have made for his first national security adviser .
My own publication , The Daily Caller , broke the story of Flynn writing an op-ed praising Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan just before Trump 's election .
The op-ed was a clear break from Flynn 's past comments criticizing Turkey for their policies toward the ISIS terrorist group .
The most troubling part was Flynn 's failure to disclose the fact that his private-sector intelligence consulting firm had just signed a lucrative contract with a company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was published .
The whole thing looked a lot like a paid foreign influence campaign .
Short of some sort of crime , though , Trump could have picked anyone he wanted to be his national security adviser .
Trump won the presidential election .
In doing so , he won the right to put together his White House team .
A peaceful transition of power and respect for the will of the voters are fundamental to our system of government .
New revelations are increasingly calling into question whether the Obama team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trump 's election .
It 's now clear that numerous top Obama officials were spying on Michael Flynn .
In the intelligence world , the government has a system in place to spy on foreigners using less than the normal due process needed to spy on Americans .
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorizes the government to collect information on foreign powers and agents of foreign powers .
Using this law , the Obama administration was spying on Russia 's ambassador to the United States .
Good for them .
That 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ambassador , they picked up conversations he was having with Flynn , Trump 's incoming national security adviser .
Finding American communications in foreign intelligence in this way is referred to as `` incidental collection . ''
When this happens , we have `` minimization '' rules , which mandate that any American communications caught up in foreign surveillance be redacted to protect the American citizens involved .
These redactions can be overturned , however , through a process called `` unmasking . ''
We have now learned , thanks to a recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of National Intelligence , that a stunning 39 different Obama administration officials requested the unmasking of Flynn 's communications in the time period between Trump 's election and his inauguration .
Those making the request included numerous ambassadors , Treasury Department officials and White House political staff , including the chief of staff and , just one week before Trump 's inauguration , Vice President Joe Biden .
Not surprisingly , in the wake of these unmaskings , Flynn 's communications were then leaked to the press .
Such a high number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political party is troubling to any but the most hardened anti-Trump partisan .
As a former heavy consumer of intelligence reporting in my days as assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney for special projects , I can state categorically that top White House staff do not do this as a matter of course .
Checking in with former colleagues confirmed that nobody recalls any unmasking related to rival political figures .
Regardless of how anyone on Team Obama may try to spin this , such high levels of unmasking requests from top White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ completely and totally unprecedented .
None of this means we know for sure that the Obama requests were political , or even improper .
We only know they were highly unusual and highly troubling because they present the distinct possibility of using our national security apparatus for political ends .

The only way to get to the bottom of this matter is to release to the public the communications and unmasking requests in question and to thoroughly question each official involved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but absolutely necessary in order to restore the public 's confidence that one party 's leaders were not abusing the system for political ends .
Intelligence is declassified all the time , and it can be done in a way that does n't endanger our intelligence sources or their methods .
In the wake of 9/11 , numerous sensitive intelligence reports were declassified to establish what the Bush administration had known ahead of time about any potential attack .
A similar process is needed now .
Given what appears to be a violation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – and to ensure that our system was not hijacked for political purposes – the information surrounding these unmaskings must be declassified so the American people can see what is really happening .
Trump has the authority to do this himself .
So do numerous members of his team .
They should use that authority and set this record straight .
If anyone on the Obama team misused our national security apparatus to spy on their political opponents , it would be the greatest political abuse in our country 's history .
Anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incoming national security adviser would have known the risks going in .

If that 's the case , they should be at the front of the line asking for all this to be made public so everyone can see that there were no abuses at hand .

wnd--2020-05-16--China coronavirus cases 8 times higher than reported!

The number of coronavirus cases in China has reached 640,000 , eight times higher than officially reported , according to data leaked to the Chinese military 's National University of Defense Technology .
The The London Sun reported the numbers were leaked to the 100Reporters news website .
Isaac Stone Fish and Maria Krol Sinclair reported the figures came from an anonymous source who cited the sensitivity of sharing Chinese military data .
`` The dataset , though it contains inconsistencies , is the most extensive dataset proved to exist about coronavirus cases in China .
More importantly , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information for epidemiologists and public health experts around the globe—and has almost certainly not shared with U.S. officials or doctors , '' the report said .
But Beijing claims there have been only 82,919 confirmed cases and 4,633 deaths in China from the coronavirus .
`` While not fully comprehensive , the data is incredibly rich : There are more than 640,000 updates of information , covering at least 230 cities—in other words , 640,000 rows purporting to show the number of cases in a specific location at the time the data was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , longitude , and 'confirmed ' number of cases at the location , for dates ranging from early February to late April , '' 100Reporters said .
100Reporters co-published the figures in a joint report with Foreign Policy , explaining a detailed account of the pandemic in China would be an important tool in judging the spread of the virus .
The Sun said that to access the military university ’ s website , one of the report 's authors had to use a virtual private network and pretend he was browsing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be restricting access to its coronavirus data `` because of malice or mistrust toward the United States , at a time when tensions are running high . ''
DailyMail.com reported the leaked data also included locations of outbreaks , including `` apartment compounds , hotels , supermarkets , railway stations , restaurants , schools and even a branch of KFC . ''
DailyMail.com explained : `` China , like most other countries , has struggled to provide accurate data on a disease that has spread across the world rapidly , especially since scientists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who catch it may have no or mild symptoms .
But allegations against Beijing go further , namely that it has deliberately covered up figures in an attempt to convince world leaders it out-performed them in terms of its response - or to buy time to stockpile PPE and medicines before the virus spread . ''
Some 4.4 million cases have been confirmed worldwide , with an estimated 300,000 deaths .

The number of coronavirus cases in China has reached 640,000, eight times higher than officially reported, according to data leaked to the Chinese military's National University of Defense Technology.
The The London Sun reported the numbers were leaked to the 100Reporters news website.
Isaac Stone Fish and Maria Krol Sinclair reported the figures came from an anonymous source who cited the sensitivity of sharing Chinese military data.
"The dataset, though it contains inconsistencies, is the most extensive dataset proved to exist about coronavirus cases in China. More importantly, it can serve as a valuable trove of information for epidemiologists and public health experts around the globe—and has almost certainly not shared with U.S. officials or doctors," the report said.

But Beijing claims there have been only 82,919 confirmed cases and 4,633 deaths in China from the coronavirus.
"While not fully comprehensive, the data is incredibly rich: There are more than 640,000 updates of information, covering at least 230 cities—in other words, 640,000 rows purporting to show the number of cases in a specific location at the time the data was gathered. Each update includes the latitude, longitude, and 'confirmed' number of cases at the location, for dates ranging from early February to late April," 100Reporters said.
100Reporters co-published the figures in a joint report with Foreign Policy, explaining a detailed account of the pandemic in China would be an important tool in judging the spread of the virus.
The Sun said that to access the military university’s website, one of the report's authors had to use a virtual private network and pretend he was browsing in Uruguay.
The report explains Beijing might be restricting access to its coronavirus data "because of malice or mistrust toward the United States, at a time when tensions are running high."
DailyMail.com reported the leaked data also included locations of outbreaks, including "apartment compounds, hotels, supermarkets, railway stations, restaurants, schools and even a branch of KFC."
DailyMail.com explained: "China, like most other countries, has struggled to provide accurate data on a disease that has spread across the world rapidly, especially since scientists believe up to 80% of those who catch it may have no or mild symptoms. But allegations against Beijing go further, namely that it has deliberately covered up figures in an attempt to convince world leaders it out-performed them in terms of its response - or to buy time to stockpile PPE and medicines before the virus spread."

The communications director for the Democratic National Committee has sparked confusion , stating it 's crucial for the party to hold its convention , because it is `` not officially nominating Joe Biden . ''
`` First of all , our convention has to happen , because we are not officially nominating Joe Biden in order to take Donald Trump , '' Xochitl Hinojosa said .
`` So our convention is happening .
There is business that has to happen . ''
She had been asked by Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer : `` There ’ s a real possibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens in a virtual sense .
Is that correct as of today ? ''
Her statement , which she did not clarify , prompted a congressional candidate , Lauren Boebert , to post online , `` Someone should probably tell Joe Biden that the DNC Comms Director just said this on national television . ''
Biden became the Democratic Party 's presumptive nominee following Sen. Bernie Sanders ’ departure from the race .
At the time , Sanders said , `` Today I am asking all Americans — I ’ m asking every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ independent , I ’ m asking a lot of Republican — to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy which I endorse . ''
Biden said , `` If I am the nominee , which it looks like now you just made me , I am going to need you , not just to win the campaign , but to govern . ''
The DNC already has moved its July convention to August , citing coronavirus-related issues .
And this week one of its committees approved giving organizers permission `` to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ require delegates to attend in person amid the coronavirus pandemic . ''

wnd--2020-05-15--How the transnational elite empowered China at our expense

At one time , the American businessman , the factory owner or corporate executive felt a bond to his community and a commitment to his town or city and this nation .
The business operated not just to make a profit , though that was essential for its existence .
It filled a need – that 's why customers willingly handed over their money – and it provided sustenance not just to its owners , but to its employees and the broader web of suppliers and service providers that in turn supported the company 's existence .
In short , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an asset not just to the owners , but also to the employees and the nation .
What was good for business was good for America .
The patriotic businessman who feels a responsibility to his community , his state and his nation is now an endangered species , if not extinct .
Corporate CEOs used to consider how their decisions would impact employees , suppliers , customers , community and society as well as shareholders .
Now , their only consideration is how to make as much money for shareholders as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not little old ladies in Florida waiting for dividend checks in the mail .
No , the `` shareholders '' are Wall Street bankers , index funds and money managers controlling millions of shares .
The shareholder is often the CEO himself , his pay including millions of shares of stock in the company he manages .
That CEO – a `` shareholder '' – profits personally when he pumps up the price of his stock by replacing Americans earning $ 20 an hour with Chinese earning $ 20 a week .
People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and cities , raise families and share a culture – do n't enter into the corporate executive 's decision-making process .
Neither does loyalty to our country .
Thomas Paine wrote that commerce diminishes the spirit of patriotism .
Thomas Jefferson put a finer point on it : `` Merchants have no country .
The mere ground they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains . ''
As corporate conglomerates grew larger and larger , their tentacles reaching all over the map , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our nation or any nation .
The multinational corporation has become a stateless , soulless , bloodless entity with a single-minded mission of maximizing its profits , a power unto itself , stronger than any government .
And as these stateless , rootless corporations gained power in Washington , `` The World '' replaced `` The United States '' as the frame of reference for policymakers .
`` What 's good for the global economy '' replaced `` what 's good for America '' as the principle guiding trade negotiators and so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ California congressman once described Washington 's trade negotiators as `` boatloads of smug diplomats , all wise economists , experts , theorists , specialists and whatnots eager to barter away the little factory in Wichita , the little shop in Keokuk . ''
These smug diplomats and all wise economists sought an efficient , borderless world where people goods and money would flow freely .
They were not interested in preserving self-rule for the United States or a government of the people , by the people and for the people .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just too complicated to be entrusted to common people , representative democracy and sovereign nations .
An elite of trained specialists with a global perspective were better equipped to manage society `` for the common good . ''

The European Union shows how its done .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and steel between France and Germany has grown into a 27-nation superstate with a central bureaucracy regulating everything from food labeling to immigration policy – powers once held by national governments .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinking '' to press Congress to advance their interests .
And schools of political science and business at universities endowed by these same global interests train the next generation of leaders in their way of thinking .
These think tanks and universities serve as revolving doors for once-and-future government officials who will dutifully execute according to the imperatives of `` the global economy . ''
The globalist ideology has even penetrated the Pentagon , the outfit established to defend America .
Procurement officials have abandoned Buy American , once required by law .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , parts and technology for our troops and weapons systems .
These officials then cycle through the revolving door to positions in the global corporations supplying the Defense Department .
The elites worked to make a borderless world with the Treaty of Rome and a catalog of free-trade agreements .
Over the decades , Washington outsourced its decisions and policymaking to global organizations such as the World Trade Organization , the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank .
Strobe Talbott saw these institutions as `` protoministries of trade , finance and development @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are part of `` the post-war international rules-based order '' our State Department promotes every day .

Now , the Chinese Communist Party uses globalization as a Trojan horse to take over the world .
It has taken control of the World Bank and more than a dozen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the WTO even as it calls on other nations to cede their decision-making power to that organization .
The CCP portrays itself as the defender of globalization when its true agenda is `` globalism for you , nationalism for us . ''

wnd--2020-05-15--Our new national pastime: Printing funny money

Ever play Monopoly ?
Was n't it fun to have little piles of `` money , '' little paper bills that seem like real money ?
And if you were good at it , was n't it fun to wind up owning Park Place and hotels and eventually maybe winning the whole game ?
Did you ever try to actually spend any of those bills ?
Unless you were very young and had an indulgent grandmother who wanted to humor you with a cookie or some hot chocolate , you were reminded this was just a game – and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good when you were playing the board game .
But now we 're all grown up … are n't we ?
Oh sure , we 're very adult now .
We 're used to losing 70,000 of our citizens to drug abuse every year , over 480,000 to cigarettes and vaping , and wee hardly pay any attention to the million-plus abortions we pay for with our taxes – all of them useless , little unwanted kids .
Very adult , sophisticated and self sufficient .
But now – now , we seem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we 're in the middle of an unprecedented crisis , worse in some ways than the world wars we fought and eventually won .
We 've been attacked by an invisible but very deadly enemy , and it 's understandable that many are reacting in panic like in that childhood fable , Chicken Little .
`` Run for cover … the sky is falling ! ''
But there 's nowhere to run .
We 've got to face this enemy head on , try to come to the aid of those already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the same time try to protect ourselves from becoming casualties .
Yes , this is a world problem , with almost all other nations attacked just like we are .
But this is n't `` overseas '' this time – it 's on our own shores , in our own towns , in our own neighborhoods , and even in our own homes !
The clock is running , the enemy relentless , and we 're all looking for answers .
It was good , even necessary , to run for cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was also good and necessary to look for whatever we could do for the wounded , the sick , the seriously threatened .
And in spite of the dangers and the enormity of the challenges , not even knowing for sure what we were fighting , this country and its leaders jumped into the fray and started developing whatever defenses we could , whatever treatments and care for the fallen we could come up with – and as always , determined to `` see it through , '' to find answers and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – BUT – unlike any other war or nation-threatening crisis we 've faced , there was not the unanimous pulling together , the dropping of political differences , with everybody looking for whatever it might take to help the most needy , in a spirit of rational , selfless dedication to the common good .
Oh yes , there was a lot of that , as you expect from Americans – but almost from the first awareness of the crisis , we 've also been afflicted with a wholesale , mounting , clamorous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obfuscating the otherwise total efforts to overcome the enemy .
While the president , like any responsible president , quickly assessed the coming tidal wave , determined its source , assembled medical , military and governmental experts and committed to an almost 24-hour-a-day campaign to defend over 300 million of us from an unavoidable disaster – his political opponents decided this terrible calamity was a great opportunity to blame the whole thing on the president and make sure he would n't be reelected !
You think I 'm kidding , making this up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrible joke or partisan accusation ?
Please , fellow American , look at the stark facts .
Because of the dread likelihood of widespread serious illness – and many thousands of unavoidable deaths – the experts and the president directed use of individual masking , gloves and social separation to hopefully slow down the spread of the highly contagious virus .
And assuming most Americans would n't take personal precautions , the call came for emergency shutdown of most businesses to prevent contagious interaction .
Do I have to tell you how suicidal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're seeing and experiencing the fatal fallout of shutting down American commerce , independent businesses small and large , and of severely limiting all social connections that make our country who we are !
Meanwhile , President Trump 's avowed political enemies constantly accuse their elected leader of not doing enough to set everything right – as if they had divine guidance on some better , undefined way !
But , as the rabid enemies ' newly designated leader just said ecstatically , `` This is our chance to transform this country !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
That 's really how those being so harshly critical of the very people who are trying to save us all are seeing this ?
YES , IT IS !
In a desperate effort to `` bail out '' or keep small businesses from simply vanishing , and to rescue temporarily millions of Americans who have lost their jobs , their livelihood , their ability to provide for their families – Congress and the president printed up almost 3 trillion dollars , backed by nothing but promises , and spread it out as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needed it most .
Nice effort , crazy as it is – but now the House of Representatives is proposing printing up 3 trillion more useless pieces of paper to fund their political objectives , in the guise of `` helping those out of work . ''
It 's as if you were playing Monopoly and losing – and you went in the other room , grabbed some paper , cut it up into the right little sizes , wrote `` Million Dollars '' on each piece – and went back to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You think anybody will ever want to play with you again ?
So what should we do ?
I 'm not God .
But I know Who is .
And He 's got our attention … as He always has when we 're in terrible danger and have no good answers But now He wants our INTENTION .
Right now , there are no logical overall solutions .
More people will die , thousands of businesses will not come back , and almost all of us will suffer in many inescapable ways .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not return to what we call `` normal , '' and perhaps that 's as it should be .
In many ways , `` normal '' has become corrupt .
Collectively , we 've allowed our country to become no longer `` One Nation Under God , '' even though our currency still says , ironically , `` In God We Trust '' – as it loses all value faster than we can print up more of it .
IF , starting right now and continuing into the second half of this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knees , crying out earnestly to the God who created and gave us all we 've ever had of real value , IF we make personal and corporate vows to seek Him again , pray to Him and pledge ourselves and our future to Him , and IF we mean it in our hearts , then Almighty God – Who , as our Declaration declares , created all men equal and endowed us with the right to `` Life , Liberty and the pursuit of happiness '' – just may rescue us one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meaningless pieces of paper money will only make the whole game worthless .
`` Unless the Lord builds the house , they labor in vain who build it : unless the Lord guards the city , the watchman stays awake in vain . ''
( Psalm 127:1 )

Did you ever try to actually spend any of those bills? Unless you were very young and had an indulgent grandmother who wanted to humor you with a cookie or some hot chocolate, you were reminded this was just a game – and that your play "money" was only good when you were playing the board game.
But now we're all grown up … aren't we?
Oh sure, we're very adult now. We're used to losing 70,000 of our citizens to drug abuse every year, over 480,000 to cigarettes and vaping, and wee hardly pay any attention to the million-plus abortions we pay for with our taxes – all of them useless, little unwanted kids.
Very adult, sophisticated and self sufficient. But now – now, we seem to really be in trouble!
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Yes, we're in the middle of an unprecedented crisis, worse in some ways than the world wars we fought and eventually won. We've been attacked by an invisible but very deadly enemy, and it's understandable that many are reacting in panic like in that childhood fable, Chicken Little. "Run for cover … the sky is falling!"
But there's nowhere to run. We've got to face this enemy head on, try to come to the aid of those already wounded, with inadequate weapons, and at the same time try to protect ourselves from becoming casualties.
Yes, this is a world problem, with almost all other nations attacked just like we are. But this isn't "overseas" this time – it's on our own shores, in our own towns, in our own neighborhoods, and even in our own homes!
The clock is running, the enemy relentless, and we're all looking for answers.
It was good, even necessary, to run for cover in whatever way we could. It was also good and necessary to look for whatever we could do for the wounded, the sick, the seriously threatened.
And in spite of the dangers and the enormity of the challenges, not even knowing for sure what we were fighting, this country and its leaders jumped into the fray and started developing whatever defenses we could, whatever treatments and care for the fallen we could come up with – and as always, determined to "see it through," to find answers and to "get through this."
But – BUT – unlike any other war or nation-threatening crisis we've faced, there was not the unanimous pulling together, the dropping of political differences, with everybody looking for whatever it might take to help the most needy, in a spirit of rational, selfless dedication to the common good.
Oh yes, there was a lot of that, as you expect from Americans – but almost from the first awareness of the crisis, we've also been afflicted with a wholesale, mounting, clamorous "blame game," confusing and obfuscating the otherwise total efforts to overcome the enemy.
While the president, like any responsible president, quickly assessed the coming tidal wave, determined its source, assembled medical, military and governmental experts and committed to an almost 24-hour-a-day campaign to defend over 300 million of us from an unavoidable disaster – his political opponents decided this terrible calamity was a great opportunity to blame the whole thing on the president and make sure he wouldn't be reelected!
You think I'm kidding, making this up, that it's some kind of terrible joke or partisan accusation? Please, fellow American, look at the stark facts.
Because of the dread likelihood of widespread serious illness – and many thousands of unavoidable deaths – the experts and the president directed use of individual masking, gloves and social separation to hopefully slow down the spread of the highly contagious virus.
And assuming most Americans wouldn't take personal precautions, the call came for emergency shutdown of most businesses to prevent contagious interaction.
Do I have to tell you how suicidal that was – and is?
You're seeing and experiencing the fatal fallout of shutting down American commerce, independent businesses small and large, and of severely limiting all social connections that make our country who we are!
Meanwhile, President Trump's avowed political enemies constantly accuse their elected leader of not doing enough to set everything right – as if they had divine guidance on some better, undefined way!
But, as the rabid enemies' newly designated leader just said ecstatically, "This is our chance to transform this country!"
What? That's his focus? That's really how those being so harshly critical of the very people who are trying to save us all are seeing this? YES, IT IS!
In a desperate effort to "bail out" or keep small businesses from simply vanishing, and to rescue temporarily millions of Americans who have lost their jobs, their livelihood, their ability to provide for their families – Congress and the president printed up almost 3 trillion dollars, backed by nothing but promises, and spread it out as best they could to the ones who needed it most.
Nice effort, crazy as it is – but now the House of Representatives is proposing printing up 3 trillion more useless pieces of paper to fund their political objectives, in the guise of "helping those out of work."
It's as if you were playing Monopoly and losing – and you went in the other room, grabbed some paper, cut it up into the right little sizes, wrote "Million Dollars" on each piece – and went back to the game, declaring yourself the winner! You think anybody will ever want to play with you again?
So what should we do?
I'm not God. But I know Who is. And He's got our attention … as He always has when we're in terrible danger and have no good answers
But now He wants our INTENTION.
Right now, there are no logical overall solutions. More people will die, thousands of businesses will not come back, and almost all of us will suffer in many inescapable ways. Life as we've known it will not return to what we call "normal," and perhaps that's as it should be. In many ways, "normal" has become corrupt.
Collectively, we've allowed our country to become no longer "One Nation Under God," even though our currency still says, ironically, "In God We Trust" – as it loses all value faster than we can print up more of it.
IF, starting right now and continuing into the second half of this year, millions of us fall on our knees, crying out earnestly to the God who created and gave us all we've ever had of real value, IF we make personal and corporate vows to seek Him again, pray to Him and pledge ourselves and our future to Him, and IF we mean it in our hearts, then Almighty God – Who, as our Declaration declares, created all men equal and endowed us with the right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness" – just may rescue us one more time.
Printing 3 billion more meaningless pieces of paper money will only make the whole game worthless.
"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it: unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1)


wnd--2020-05-15--Virus brings more infections of victimhood

A couple weeks ago , I stumbled across a fascinating article – not because of the article 's premise , but because of some incidental comments made in the first paragraph .
Entitled `` Therapy under lockdown : ' I 'm just as terrified as my patients are ' , '' it was written by a psychotherapist named Gary Greenberg who wrote about the difficulties inherent in helping his clients cope with the societal chaos caused by the pandemic , specifically how many things are now beyond their control .
But what riveted me was Dr. Greenberg 's opening paragraph @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have practiced as a psychotherapist , I have discouraged people from seeing themselves as hapless victims of forces arrayed against them .
That 's the whole premise – that whatever brought you to my office , it is hampering your ability to direct the course of your own life .
So let 's name your pain and then do something about it .
Tell off the boss , walk out on the husband , confront the perpetrator , whatever it takes , and then move on , become the agent of your existence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 've never experienced psychotherapy before , so I was entirely unaware the premise of this treatment is to get people to stop seeing themselves as `` hapless victims of forces arranged against them . ''
Nor was I aware psychotherapy encouraged people to `` direct the course of your own life '' and `` become the agent of your existence . ''
Has anyone alerted progressives that this is the goal of psychotherapy ?
I mean seriously , does the left know about this ?
Because I can tell you one thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( especially ) students the exact opposite is true .
In fact , the entire educational industry in America is diametrically opposed to these principles of psychotherapy .
As far as I can determine , all public schools – from K12 through Ph.D. programs – push Victimology as their primary goal .
Public education trains children from the age of 5 how they are victims – of their skin color , gender , economic circumstances , oppressive parents , family background , or their nationality – then when these children become adults , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become incapable of clear , independent thinking and always welcome opportunities for the government to step in and rescue them .
According to experts , a `` victim mentality '' means you blame your challenges in life on others around you , even if you ca n't prove their negative actions .
You also blame things on circumstances , which ( of course ) are always unfair .
The latest `` circumstance '' is the coronavirus , the ultimate victimizer ( not the disease , the response ) .
Keeping various states or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of small businesses will never reopen , turning formerly employed people into government dependents .
From a progressive standpoint , what 's not to love about this ?
Even better , Democrats are desperately trying to deliberately crash the economy to prevent Trump from being reelected in November .
Everyone forced into continued shutdowns can now be considered a victim .
Is n't that terrific ?
Victims everywhere !
Methinks Dr. Greenberg has a long and uphill battle to combat this widespread trend .
It becomes almost comical to listen to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coronavirus .
For example , Brittney Cooper , a women 's gender and sexuality studies professor at Rutgers University , blames Trump and his supporters and `` white conservatives '' for the deaths of black people to COVID-19 .
`` I feel like most black people are clear that this utterly absurd to push to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID , '' she wrote .
`` Not only do white conservatives not care about black life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome this massive winnowing of black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political power . ''
Forget the remarkable advances African Americans have made under Trump 's presidency .
It seems this professor would rather see black businesses stayed closed ( possibly forever ) rather than permit even an iota of gratitude toward the economic prosperity that preceded the pandemic .
And oh yeah , Trump is racist because , well , because .
Remember , Orange Man Bad .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Teen Vogue , which tells its readers that anyone protesting their state 's stay-at-home orders are motivated by `` racism '' instead of fear of losing their livelihoods .
`` The goals of these white Americans are rooted in a desire to return to their white dominance and white comfort , '' the magazine tweeted .
In a Teen Vogue op-ed , journalist Kandist Mallett wrote : `` The society that these white protesters so desperately want to reopen is rooted in anti-blackness .
That society allowed for black people to die @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has since we were brought to this country to be enslaved .
We must build a new society where black people are no longer the first to be sacrificed for the elites ' mistakes and failures . ''
Pick any subject outside the coronavirus heading , and you 'll find someone , somewhere , will interpret everything through the lens of victimhood .
I mean really , it must be exhausting to always be searching for new and unique ways in which someone can be oppressed .
Whatever happened to rising above one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Do you think if Dr. Ben Carson had wallowed in victimhood , he would ever have risen above his circumstances to become one of the world 's most brilliant surgeons ?
A victim mentality provides many advantages .
You do n't have to take responsibility ; you can complain and receive attention ; people are less likely to criticize you ; others feel compelled to help you and do what you ask .
Victimhood brings attention , bestows power over others , allows someone to malign others without fear of repercussion , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victim ca n't do something .
( `` I ca n't become a brilliant surgeon because I 'm black and was raised by a single mom !
Whaa whaa whaa ! ''
) Politically , all these roads lead to one endpoint , of course .
Control .
This is why progressives are so eager to codify victimhood into law .
It further controls citizens .
If the goal of psychotherapy , as Dr. Greenberg asserts , is to get people to stop seeing themselves as `` hapless victims of forces arranged against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire progressive establishment across America would listen to his words of wisdom .
We need a lot fewer victims out there .

I've never experienced psychotherapy before, so I was entirely unaware the premise of this treatment is to get people to stop seeing themselves as "hapless victims of forces arranged against them." Nor was I aware psychotherapy encouraged people to "direct the course of your own life" and "become the agent of your existence."
Has anyone alerted progressives that this is the goal of psychotherapy? I mean seriously, does the left know about this?
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Because I can tell you one thing, progressives have spent decades brainwashing people (especially students) that the exact opposite is true. In fact, the entire educational industry in America is diametrically opposed to these principles of psychotherapy. As far as I can determine, all public schools – from K12 through Ph.D. programs – push Victimology as their primary goal.
Public education trains children from the age of 5 how they are victims – of their skin color, gender, economic circumstances, oppressive parents, family background, or their nationality – then when these children become adults, they wallow in professional victimhood. They become incapable of clear, independent thinking and always welcome opportunities for the government to step in and rescue them.
According to experts, a "victim mentality" means you blame your challenges in life on others around you, even if you can't prove their negative actions. You also blame things on circumstances, which (of course) are always unfair.
The latest "circumstance" is the coronavirus, the ultimate victimizer (not the disease, the response). Keeping various states or portions of states in eternal shutdowns guarantees thousands of small businesses will never reopen, turning formerly employed people into government dependents. From a progressive standpoint, what's not to love about this?
Even better, Democrats are desperately trying to deliberately crash the economy to prevent Trump from being reelected in November. Everyone forced into continued shutdowns can now be considered a victim. Isn't that terrific? Victims everywhere!
Methinks Dr. Greenberg has a long and uphill battle to combat this widespread trend.
It becomes almost comical to listen to the verbal gymnastics necessary to claim victimhood during the coronavirus.
For example, Brittney Cooper, a women's gender and sexuality studies professor at Rutgers University, blames Trump and his supporters and "white conservatives" for the deaths of black people to COVID-19.

In a Teen Vogue op-ed, journalist Kandist Mallett wrote: "The society that these white protesters so desperately want to reopen is rooted in anti-blackness.

We must build a new society where black people are no longer the first to be sacrificed for the elites' mistakes and failures."

A victim mentality provides many advantages. You don't have to take responsibility; you can complain and receive attention; people are less likely to criticize you; others feel compelled to help you and do what you ask.
