#FREECANDACE From the Twitter Gulag!

Earlier today , Candace Owens was banned from Twitter , where she has 2.2 million followers , because she encouraged Michigan residents to go back to work .
This was the offending tweet : That reminds us of the fact that the two California doctors who posted an hour-long video on YouTube challenging the government ’ s shutdown narrative were similarly banned .
YouTube has taken down their video wherever they have found it .
Yet these are two eminently qualified physicians talking about their own personal experience with COVID-19 , as well as publicly available data on the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In both cases , social media platforms acted against their financial interests–Owens is one of Twitter ’ s top stars , and the doctors ’ video had millions of views–in order to advance a political agenda .
That agenda is pro-government , pro-statist , anti-liberty .
What was Twitter ’ s excuse ?
The only plausible one is that Owens was encouraging civil disobedience .
( That doesn ’ t apply to the California physicians , obviously . )
But there are a couple of problems with that justification .
First , Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encourage illegal aliens to disregard our immigration laws , support sanctuary cities , and so on .
The difference is solely political .
The people who run Twitter are leftists .
Second , the shutdown orders by Governor Whitmer in Michigan and other governors are extremely controversial , legally as well as politically .
Does a governor really have the power , consistent with the federal constitution or , in some cases , with state constitutions , to order most businesses to close and nearly all social activity to cease ?
That suggestion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the founders .
In a number of states , legal actions are underway challenging the legality of shutdown orders .
Here in Minnesota , I expect such a lawsuit to be filed next week .
Twitter ’ s apparent position , that the appropriateness and legality of harsh shutdown orders are beyond debate , is ridiculous .
# FreeCandace is trending on Twitter , and Donald Trump , Jr. weighed in on her behalf : The fact that all of our major social media platforms are run by leftists who try to use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not be seriously disputed .
Ironically , perhaps , the pathetic performances by YouTube and Twitter in connection with coronavirus-related controversies will only add momentum to those who argue for some kind of government intervention .

#FreeCandace is trending on Twitter, and Donald Trump, Jr. weighed in on her behalf:
Heard from my friend @RealCandaceO that she got banned from @Twitter for simply telling the people of #Michigan they should go to work. If the Social Media Masters ban you for that w/o an explanation, imagine what they’ll do to try to influence the election given their politics! — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) May 2, 2020
The fact that all of our major social media platforms are run by leftists who try to use their power to elect left-wing candidates cannot be seriously disputed. Ironically, perhaps, the pathetic performances by YouTube and Twitter in connection with coronavirus-related controversies will only add momentum to those who argue for some kind of government intervention.

The cultural significance of these boards comes at a time where China’s reputation, on a global scale, is at an all-time low.

First, know about that performance, which is still the biggest stigma on China’s forehead. Fed up with communist rule, many teachers and students demonstrated peacefully against Chinese rule on 4 June 1989 in China.

Even today China has kept the world in the dark about what really happened that day, and how many people were killed. The mention of Tiananmen Square is the last nail in the coffin of any country’s relationship with China.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-03--Nobel-Prize-Winning Scientist Shares Chi-Com Virus Data Proving Strict Lockdowns Were an Overreactio

Nobel-Prize-Winning Scientist Shares Chi-Com Virus Data Proving Strict Lockdowns Were an Overreaction: ‘Damage Done by Lockdown Will Exceed Any Saving of Lives by a Huge Factor’

' ... the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor '

Professor Michael Levitt, who teaches structural biology at the Stanford School of Medicine, won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems."
And according to Levitt, coronavirus data show that sweeping lockdown measures were an overreaction that may actually backfire.
Levitt has been analyzing the COVID-19 outbreak from a statistical perspective since January and has been remarkably accurate in his predications. The data show that the outbreak never actually grew exponentially, suggesting harsh lockdown measures, which have drastically impacted the world economy, were probably unnecessary.
According to UnHerd:
His observation is a simple one: that in outbreak after outbreak of this disease, a similar mathematical pattern is observable regardless of government interventions. After around a two week exponential growth of cases (and, subsequently, deaths) some kind of break kicks in, and growth starts slowing down. The curve quickly becomes "sub-exponential".
This may seem like a technical distinction, but its implications are profound. The 'unmitigated' scenarios modelled by (among others) Imperial College, and which tilted governments across the world into drastic action, relied on a presumption of continued exponential growth — that with a consistent R number of significantly above 1 and a consistent death rate, very quickly the majority of the population would be infected and huge numbers of deaths would be recorded. But Professor Levitt's point is that that hasn't actually happened anywhere, even in countries that have been relatively lax in their responses.
Instead of strict lockdown orders, Levitt told UnHerd that developing "herd immunity" is a better strategy to fighting a virus like COVID-19.
"I think the policy of herd immunity is the right policy. I think Britain was on exactly the right track before they were fed wrong numbers. And they made a huge mistake. I see the standout winners as Germany and Sweden. They didn't practise too much lockdown and they got enough people sick to get some herd immunity," Levitt explained.
"I see the standout losers as countries like Austria, Australia and Israel that had very strict lockdown but didn't have many cases," he said. "They have damaged their economies, caused massive social damage, damaged the educational year of their children, but not obtained any herd immunity.
"There is no doubt in my mind, that when we come to look back on this, the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor," Levitt predicted.

Democrat Donors Are TERRIFIED About the Biden Running Mate Pick Democrat Voters Actually Want — Pocahontas: ‘He Would Lose the Election’

A new CBS News poll has Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren running away with the vice-presidential nominating sweepstakes among rank-and-file Democrats .
But big donors to the party are pressuring Joe Biden not to take her on , believing , “ He would lose the election.
” It ’ s one more indication just how far left the Democratic Party has lurched since 2016 .
Bernie Sanders , Warren , Kamala Harris , Beto O ’ Rourke , Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez , and the “ Squad ” have brought radical , transformative , socialist ideas into the mainstream of the party , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I think a lot of the donor base , on board and coming , would prefer almost anyone but Elizabeth .
I don ’ t see him choosing her for veep ” said a longtime fundraiser for Biden who is regularly in touch with him .
“ She would be horrible .
He would lose the election , ” said a Wall Street executive who was once backing others running in the Democratic primary and later joined Biden ’ s donor ranks .
This attitude among the elites has rankled ordinary Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Warren expressed in several polls .
Elizabeth Warren is well atop Democratic voters ’ list of those who should be considered for vice president — with 71 % saying she should be — and Warren also outpaces other possible picks by a wide margin as their first choice for the job : Warren at 36 % first choice , to Kamala Harris ’ 19 % , Stacey Abrams at 14 % , and Amy Klobuchar at 13 % .
No one else gets over 4 % .
Warren is the top pick among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Warren is among the top picks for black Democrats too , but they are more evenly split between Warren , Abrams and Harris .
Warren is also among the top with moderate Democrats , for whom the top three picks are Warren , Klobuchar and Harris .

It just shows how oblivious many liberals are to how radical their ideas are perceived .
Believing yourself “ moderate ” if you support Medicare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big money donors know it .
Donors concerned about a Biden-Warren ticket are worried about a range of issues , from Democrats potentially losing her seat in the Senate to Warren being possibly too divisive on the campaign trail against President Donald Trump .

thelibertydaily--2020-05-03--RNC Head DESTROYS ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Media Ignoring Sexual Predator Joe Biden’s Sexual Assault

RNC Head DESTROYS ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Media Ignoring Sexual Predator Joe Biden’s Sexual Assault of Tara Reade: ‘With Brett Kavanaugh, Every Accuser was Put on TV; It was Wall-to-Wall Coverage — They Went Into His High School Yearbook’

During an appearance on ABC ’ s This Week , Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel leveled the media by calling out their hypocrisy in blacking out the rape accusation against Joe Biden , while they had tried to eviscerate Justice Brett Kavanaugh .
The rebuke was so potent that fill-in host Martha Raddatz appeared unable to make eye contact and avoided looking at the camera while defending her network ’ s coverage .
Possibly citing a Media Research Center study exposing the liberal media ’ s on-air blackout of the rape accusation against presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ And then this week , we ’ ve seen him really be challenged for the first time in five weeks on allegations that many in the media have ignored .
And finally , those are coming to light , ” she said .
After getting called out , Raddatz seemed to refuse to look up at the camera as she defended her network and the rest of the industry .
“ Well , I know we here at ABC have not ignored and many in the media have not ignored it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ she claimed .
But that was a lie .
As NewsBusters reported last Thursday , that day was the first time any of the broadcast evening newscasts had covered the rape allegation from former Biden Senate staffer Tara Reade .
Thursday was the first time ABC covered the story at all , with Good Morning America giving it some airtime after ignoring it for over a month .
That night was also the first time NBC had covered it on-air .
Raddatz ’ s next question did shift to the allegation , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was using it in an “ attack ad ” they were running against Biden .
“ And how far will you go with these attack ads , ” Raddatz demanded to know .
McDaniel wasn ’ t having any of Raddatz ’ s nonsense and hit back hard by calling out the blatant and “ appalling ” double standard : Going further , she pointed out that the double standard fell in Biden ’ s favor because of which party he was a part of .
“ And then you go to Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 19 interviews without a single question , ” McDaniel decried .
“ It from # MeToo , # MeToo , # MeToo to move on , move on , move on in a nanosecond because he 's a Democrat.
” “ And the hypocrisy is appalling and it ’ s not just from the Democrats , it ’ s from the media .
And I 'll tell you , I think any outlet that conducted those 19 interviews and did n't ask a single question should be disqualified from conducting any part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a very serious tone .
The other part of Raddatz ’ s question was about why President Trump said he would “ stick up for ” Biden .
McDaniel noted that it was because Republicans believed in due process under the law for all , a standard the Democrats and the media thought only applied to them .
“ But they threw it out the window when it came to Brett Kavanagh .
And so did the media .
And the hypocrisy has been appalling .
We need to do some self-reflection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how Biden is being treated right now , ” she declared just before Raddatz ended the interview abruptly .
The transcript is below , click `` expand '' to read : ABC ’ s This Week May 3 , 2020 9:21:32 a.m. Eastern RONNA MCDANIEL : And we ’ ve seen Joe Biden hiding .
He 's not been vetted .

And then this week , we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first time in five weeks on allegations that many in the media have ignored .
And finally , those are coming to light .
MARTHA RADDATZ : Well , I know we here at ABC have not ignored and many in the media have not ignored it .
We have n't ignored it .
But I want to turn to those accusations .
You put out an ad , an attack ad against Joe Biden , but the President has also been accused of sexual harassments , sexual misconduct , sexual assault by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a radio interview on Thursday , President Trump said while Tara Reade , the accuser , sounds credible , “ I would just say to Joe Biden , just go out and fight it.
” Adding , “ I guess in a way you could say I 'm sticking up for him.
” Is he sticking up for Joe Biden ?
And how far will you go with these attack ads ?
MCDANIEL : I 'm going to take issue with the media ignoring this .
It has been appalling the hypocrisy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treated versus Joe Biden .
Brett Kavanaugh , every accuser was put on TV , it was wall-to-wall coverage .
They went into his high school yearbook .
They said he needed an FBI investigation .
Michael Avenatti was on TV accusing him of gang rap , from an accuser who never even met Brett Kavanaugh .
And then you go to Joe Biden , five weeks of silence .
19 interviews without a single question .
He won ’ t let people go in his records in the University of Delaware .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ do the investigation .
It from # MeToo , # MeToo , # MeToo to move on , move on , move on in a nanosecond because he 's a Democrat .
And the hypocrisy is appalling and it ’ s not just from the Democrats , it ’ s from the media .
And I 'll tell you , I think any outlet that conducted those 19 interviews and did n't ask a single question should be disqualified from conducting any part of a presidential debate .
RADDATZ : So , why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a way sticking up for him ?
” MCDANIEL : Because due process and the presumption of innocence has no longer been the standard in this country when it comes to Republicans .
Now , Democrats are suddenly embracing those legal standards that we have made the cornerstone of our country when it comes to Joe Biden .
But they threw it out the window when it came to Brett Kavanagh .
And so did the media .
And the hypocrisy has been appalling .
We need to do some self-reflection as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden is being treated right now .
RADDATZ : Okay , thank you very much for joining us .

During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel leveled the media by calling out their hypocrisy in blacking out the rape accusation against Joe Biden, while they had tried to eviscerate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The rebuke was so potent that fill-in host Martha Raddatz appeared unable to make eye contact and avoided looking at the camera while defending her network’s coverage.
Possibly citing a Media Research Center study exposing the liberal media’s on-air blackout of the rape accusation against presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, McDaniel called out them out. “And then this week, we’ve seen him really be challenged for the first time in five weeks on allegations that many in the media have ignored. And finally, those are coming to light,” she said.
After getting called out, Raddatz seemed to refuse to look up at the camera as she defended her network and the rest of the industry. “Well, I know we here at ABC have not ignored and many in the media have not ignored it. We haven't ignored it,” she claimed. But that was a lie.
As NewsBusters reported last Thursday, that day was the first time any of the broadcast evening newscasts had covered the rape allegation from former Biden Senate staffer Tara Reade. Thursday was the first time ABC covered the story at all, with Good Morning America giving it some airtime after ignoring it for over a month. That night was also the first time NBC had covered it on-air.
Raddatz’s next question did shift to the allegation, but it was to note that the RNC was using it in an “attack ad” they were running against Biden. “And how far will you go with these attack ads,” Raddatz demanded to know.
McDaniel wasn’t having any of Raddatz’s nonsense and hit back hard by calling out the blatant and “appalling” double standard:
I'm going to take issue with the media ignoring this. It has been appalling the hypocrisy, as to how Brett Kavanagh was treated versus Joe Biden. Brett Kavanaugh, every accuser was put on TV, it was wall-to-wall coverage. They went into his high school yearbook. They said he needed an FBI investigation. Michael Avenatti was on TV accusing him of gang rape, from an accuser who never ven met Brett Kavanaugh.
Going further, she pointed out that the double standard fell in Biden’s favor because of which party he was a part of. “And then you go to Joe Biden, five weeks of silence. 19 interviews without a single question,” McDaniel decried. “It from #MeToo, #MeToo, #MeToo to move on, move on, move on in a nanosecond because he's a Democrat.”
“And the hypocrisy is appalling and it’s not just from the Democrats, it’s from the media. And I'll tell you, I think any outlet that conducted those 19 interviews and didn't ask a single question should be disqualified from conducting any part of a presidential debate,” she added in a very serious tone.
The other part of Raddatz’s question was about why President Trump said he would “stick up for” Biden. McDaniel noted that it was because Republicans believed in due process under the law for all, a standard the Democrats and the media thought only applied to them.
“But they threw it out the window when it came to Brett Kavanagh. And so did the media. And the hypocrisy has been appalling. We need to do some self-reflection as to how Kavanaugh was treated versus how Biden is being treated right now,” she declared just before Raddatz ended the interview abruptly.

Will O’Neill, the mayor of Newport Beach, California, is accusing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) of abusing his powers by closing down beaches in Orange County in the state’s effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Orange County had not closed its beaches, and many flocked to the shore last weekend because of warm temperatures. Photographs published by news agencies, taken near ground level, suggested crowding, but ,any photographs taken from above, or by beachgoers themselves, suggested people were more spread out.
In response to controversy, Newport Beach decided last week to keep the beaches open, but to increase law enforcement efforts to patrol social distancing. Newsom responded by closing all the beaches in the county.
In an op-ed published Saturday at RealClearPolitics, O’Neill argued that Newsom had exceeded his authority:
Los Angeles County, which has implemented the most draconian beach closures in the country, has in excess of 1,000 coronavirus deaths. Orange County, which has consistently taken a less restrictive approach, has had 45 deaths going into this weekend. Orange County’s population of 3.3 million is larger than 22 states. If it were a state, Orange County’s death rate of 0.0014% would be the 49th lowest in the country. … Against this backdrop of public health – and in favor of placing data and reality over politics and hysteria – the Newport Beach City Council voted this week to keep its beaches open. … However, 428 miles away in Sacramento and without consulting with a single Newport Beach official, Gov. Gavin Newsom decided to substitute his will for our judgment, shutting down the entire 42 miles of Orange County coastline, including Newport’s. He did this in part based upon widely disseminated and wildly misleading media photographs taken to give the false impression that Newport’s beaches were packed with people that were declining to use distancing. Local fire and police authorities reviewed this media depiction and agreed that it was misleading. What they “observed from land and by air was the vast majority of beach goers practicing social distancing.” … The fundamental question is whether Californians going to the beach is dangerous. A governor who shuts down beaches in the name of health and safety when open beaches do not actually threaten health or safety exceeds his Constitutional authority. The idea that Californians are in greater danger at the beach than they are when visiting Costco or Walmart, or for that matter, an open marijuana dispensary, is preposterous.

Separately, in the Wall Street Journal, Allysia Finley noted in an op-ed titled “The Road to Surfdom” that Newsom’s beach closures disproportionately affected poorer California residents:
This isn’t only a fight between county conservatives and Sacramento liberals. It’s also an example of how progressives hurt the low-income people they claim to help. Mr. Newsom says he doesn’t want people coming to the coast and spreading the virus, which has hit inland counties harder. Riverside County has three times as many fatalities per capita as Orange. But beach closings are much easier on people who can afford backyard pools. Because it’s hotter inland, those who live there have to pay more to cool their homes. Electricity prices in California are among the highest in the country because of the state’s green-energy mandates. But let them bake. Further, while many suburban hiking and biking trails remain open, the parking lots are closed, so only affluent neighbors can enjoy them. Parks and playgrounds are closed, but kids whose families have large backyards can run around. Those in apartments are stuck inside.
Law enforcement kept most people off the beach Saturday, though Newport Beach and other Orange County communities will challenge Newsom’s beach closure in court.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-04--Leaked Government Documents Suggest Serious Chi-Com Virus Outbreaks at Hospitals in Northern China

After two hospitals in the northeastern city of Harbin experienced CCP virus cluster outbreaks , the nearby city of Mudanjiang also reported cluster outbreaks at the Kang ’ an Hospital , considered the city ’ s top hospital .
Both cities are located in Heilongjiang Province .
Internal documents that The Epoch Times recently obtained also revealed that the Heilongjiang government issued strict regulations to control and prevent outbreaks inside hospitals , noting that they should adopt measures similar to those in the central Chinese city of Wuhan , where the epidemic first broke out .
The Heilongjiang government also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over two hospitals in the city , indicating that the outbreak had become severe .
The Epoch Times ’ previous reporting showed that authorities in northern China have underreported infections .
But even going by official statistics , it showed that the virus was spreading within multiple hospitals .

After two hospitals in the northeastern city of Harbin experienced CCP virus cluster outbreaks, the nearby city of Mudanjiang also reported cluster outbreaks at the Kang’an Hospital, considered the city’s top hospital.
Both cities are located in Heilongjiang Province.
Internal documents that The Epoch Times recently obtained also revealed that the Heilongjiang government issued strict regulations to control and prevent outbreaks inside hospitals, noting that they should adopt measures similar to those in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the epidemic first broke out.
The Heilongjiang government also arranged for a Mudanjiang official to take over two hospitals in the city, indicating that the outbreak had become severe.
Cluster Outbreaks At Hospitals
The Epoch Times’ previous reporting showed that authorities in northern China have underreported infections. But even going by official statistics, it showed that the virus was spreading within multiple hospitals.
For several weeks, the Heilongjiang health commission has announced new patients and asymptomatic carriers in Mudanjiang and Harbin nearly every day—most of them having contracted the virus at hospitals.
In one example, a woman surnamed Gong visited the Mudanjiang Kang’an Hospital for her liver disease in late March. After the hospital became fully devoted to treating COVID-19 patients, she was transferred to another hospital.
But soon after, she developed COVID-19 symptoms. Her husband, Mr. Wang, who accompanied her on hospital visits, also began to develop symptoms.
In mid-April, both tested positive for COVID-19. Since then, more than ten people who were close contacts with Gong, including medical staff and patients at the second hospital where she was being treated, also tested positive.
Wuhan Mode
Mudanjiang currently has three designated COVID-19 hospitals. Hongqi Hospital is dedicated to treating patients in severe and critical condition; Kang’an Hospital is dedicated to treating patients in mild and medium condition; and the Suifenhe People’s Hospital treats asymptomatic carriers. Suifenhe also has a makeshift hospital.
Suifenhe is a county level city that is experiencing a second wave outbreak, and is under the administration of Mudanjiang.
Internal documents from the Heilongjiang government revealed more details about how hospitals were dealing with the outbreak.
According to memos of a recent conference with Heilongjiang health officials held in Harbin on April 15, officials said they would encourage Harbin residents to take nucleic acid tests to test for the virus, but they must pay for the tests themselves.
At another conference held on April 19, officials spoke about adopting similar measures as in Wuhan inside COVID19-designated hospitals of Mudanjiang, according to the meeting memos.
For example, hospitals would rearrange their layout to have three zones: “the red zone,” the area where a virus patient is being treated; “the clean zone,” an area not exposed to the virus; and “the buffer zone,” an area where medical staff can disinfect themselves and take off their protective suits.
All medical staff at designated hospitals in Mudanjiang cannot go back to their homes at this time, and can only stay at the hospital or a designated hotel. Furthermore, the Mudanjiang medical teams who were previously dispatched to Hubei Province in February and March to assist in treating the large number of virus patients will now lead treatment teams in the city.
Hubei Province, where Wuhan is capital, is the hardest-hit region in China.
Inside the city’s quarantine centers, officials requested that patients be monitored similar to patients in Hong Kong, meaning all must wear an electronic tracker wristband. The wristband is part of a geofence system; when the person walks outside the allowed perimeter, the system will alarm authorities.
Mudanjiang also decided to prolong the quarantine period for people returning to China from overseas—from 14 days to 35 days. The city will also temporarily stop flights and trains to and from Beijing.
New Leader
A Mudanjiang internal government document dated April 17 explained that Communist Party committees would be set up inside the Hongqi Hospital and Kang’an Hospital.
Zhao Rongguo, the city’s deputy mayor, would be appointed to lead the two hospitals’ Party committees, with Liu Ying, director of the city’s health commission, as deputy leader.
In China, all state-run businesses have Party organizations installed in order to ensure that employees toe the Party line. Both aforementioned hospitals are state-run.
U.S.-based China affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan said that the move was likely an indicator that “the cluster outbreaks in the hospitals have spun out of control,” adding that hospitals adopting Wuhan measures also suggested that the outbreak was very severe.
