Regal Cinemas announced today that they are closing all theaters as of tomorrow : In sign of what many are expecting is to come for all theaters in the U.S. , Regal Cinemas is shutting down all their locations starting Tuesday , March 17 as a precaution amid the current circumstances .
All theaters will remain closed until further notice .
Regal is the second-biggest chain in the U.S. with 7,155 screens in 542 theaters in 42 states , and is the first big chain out of the top 3 to close .
Other chains have not followed suit thus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chain in the U.S. ( which operates the biggest movie theater in my town ) , has posted guidance which , as of today , takes a series of steps including reducing capacity of each theater by 50 percent and additional cleaning of hard surfaces within the theater .
Similarly , AMC Theaters , which is the largest chain in the U.S. , posted a statement from the CEO on its website Friday which reads in part : To give you more empty space around you within our theatres , we are capping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normal seating capacity for every showtime in every auditorium at all AMC theatres nationwide .
Once we hit 50 % of an auditorium ’ s capacity , movie screenings will show as being Sold Out , even though by definition there will be a large number of unfilled seats .
This will begin Saturday , March 14 , and for now , will continue until April 30 .
In some locatioins , such as New York and Los Angeles , theaters have been ordered closed by mayors , something which has never happened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wall for theaters , Universal is releasing films that are currently in theaters to streaming services weeks before they normally would do so : The company will also make films that are currently in theaters available on-demand starting as early as Friday , March 20 .
These films include the horror movies “ The Hunt ” and “ The Invisible Man , ” as well as “ Emma , ” an adaptation of Jane Austen ’ s novel from Focus , Universal ’ s specialty label .
The films will be available for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retail price of $ 19.99 in the U.S. and for roughly the same price in international markets .
The announcement is a blow to movie theaters , which have long resisted any attempts to shorten the amount of time that movies are available exclusively on the big screen .
One animated film , “ Trolls World Tour ” which was set to be released in theaters next month will be released for rental online the same day .
For the moment , major tent-pole films like the next installment in the Fast & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ film have pushed back their release dates in hopes that they can be shown in theaters once the danger of the coronavirus is passed .
But there ’ s some concern that the virus could be a death blow to theaters already struggling with declining attendance .
Looking at the last 20 years of attendance figures , the number of tickets sold in North America peaked in 2002 , when cinemas sold about 1.6 billion .
In 2019 , attendance totaled roughly 1.2 billion , a 25 percent drop — even as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15 percent .
Cinemas have kept ticket revenue high by raising prices , but studio executives say there is limited room for continued escalation .
Offerings in theaters may also grow more constrained .
Even before the pandemic , major studios were starting to route smaller dramas and comedies toward streaming services instead of theaters .
And now comes the coronavirus , which has prompted people to bivouac in their homes , theaters to put in place social-distancing restrictions and studios to postpone most theatrical releases through the end of April .
Rich @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Partners media research firm , predicted that the disruption would speed the ascendance of streaming .
“ The behavior was already shifting , but this hits the accelerator pedal , ” Mr. Greenfield said .
“ I think most of the global exhibition business will be in bankruptcy by the end of the year.
” He added , “ Now studios are going to think more and more about why they are relying on third parties to distribute their content.
” Movies are typically in theaters exclusively for the first 90 days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streaming and home purchase .
During the first week of release , the theater typically keeps about 50 percent of the box office and passes on the other 50 percent to the distributor .
That percentage increases in the theater ’ s favor as the weeks pass until it is keeping as much as 60 percent of the box office .
All of that adds up to billions of dollars .
It ’ s not hard to imagine how a company like Disney would see a big advantage in being able to release @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and thereby cut out the expensive middleman .
My family subscribed to Disney+ the week it went online .
I really enjoyed their exclusive Star Wars show , The Mandalorian , but I haven ’ t watched anything on the service since .
Disney is probably aware it needs fresh content to keep subscribers around and releasing films online the same day as in the theater could give Disney+ a big boost .
Even without the coronavirus , a lot of people might prefer to watch a new film at home in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cheap , rather than go out .
Frankly , I might choose that option occasionally .
Taking my family of 5 to the theater usually costs around $ 45 for tickets ( that ’ s a discount price ) and at least $ 20 for popcorn and drinks .
Paying $ 20 at home would save money and be more convenient .
Plus you can pause if someone needs to get up and go to the bathroom .
But the truth is I love movie theaters and have since my parents were going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat .
I love the old movie palaces like Disney ’ s flagship El Capitan in Hollywood or the Chinese Theater right across the street .
I like the big screen and the big sound of my local Cinemark theater here in Orange County .
And I have a lot of clear memories of movie theaters as a child : Waiting for the lights to go down at Star Wars as I looked through the printed program .
Waiting in line for a midnight show of Star Trek : The Motion Picture ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Seeing John Carpenter ’ s The Thing in a theater whose AC was stuck so that it was about 68 degrees in the middle of summer .
I just can ’ t imagine a world without movie theaters .
But for now the best thing is for them to close .
In a few weeks or months when they reopen , I hope everyone will go back to the theaters .

Regal Cinemas announced today that they are closing all theaters as of tomorrow:
In sign of what many are expecting is to come for all theaters in the U.S., Regal Cinemas is shutting down all their locations starting Tuesday, March 17 as a precaution amid the current circumstances. All theaters will remain closed until further notice. Regal is the second-biggest chain in the U.S. with 7,155 screens in 542 theaters in 42 states, and is the first big chain out of the top 3 to close.
Other chains have not followed suit thus far. Cinemark, the third largest chain in the U.S. (which operates the biggest movie theater in my town), has posted guidance which, as of today, takes a series of steps including reducing capacity of each theater by 50 percent and additional cleaning of hard surfaces within the theater. Similarly, AMC Theaters, which is the largest chain in the U.S., posted a statement from the CEO on its website Friday which reads in part:
To give you more empty space around you within our theatres, we are capping ticket availability to 50% of the normal seating capacity for every showtime in every auditorium at all AMC theatres nationwide. Once we hit 50% of an auditorium’s capacity, movie screenings will show as being Sold Out, even though by definition there will be a large number of unfilled seats. This will begin Saturday, March 14, and for now, will continue until April 30.
In some locatioins, such as New York and Los Angeles, theaters have been ordered closed by mayors, something which has never happened before:
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have ordered movie theaters in their respective cities to close in response to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s the first time in modern history that cinemas have shuttered en masse not due to weather concerns.
With the writing on the wall for theaters, Universal is releasing films that are currently in theaters to streaming services weeks before they normally would do so:
The company will also make films that are currently in theaters available on-demand starting as early as Friday, March 20. These films include the horror movies “The Hunt” and “The Invisible Man,” as well as “Emma,” an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel from Focus, Universal’s specialty label. The films will be available for a 48-hour rental period at a suggested retail price of $19.99 in the U.S. and for roughly the same price in international markets. The announcement is a blow to movie theaters, which have long resisted any attempts to shorten the amount of time that movies are available exclusively on the big screen.
One animated film, “Trolls World Tour” which was set to be released in theaters next month will be released for rental online the same day. For the moment, major tent-pole films like the next installment in the Fast & Furious series and the next James Bond film have pushed back their release dates in hopes that they can be shown in theaters once the danger of the coronavirus is passed.

When President Trump restricted travel to and from China nearly two months ago, the outcry from the left was deafening. Everyone from Democrats to the World Health Organization to mainstream media panned the move as racist and xenophobic. Now, information stemming from genome sequencing of those infected indicate the President’s unpopular move was not only correct, but may have happened too late.
This is fascinating, it looks like 90% of the COVID transmission in Seattle is from a single introduction in late Jan from China.
The NY intro is from Iran and San Diego intro from Europe. https://t.co/ZBbzrtgU5u — PoliMath (@politicalmath) March 16, 2020
The Wuhan coronavirus may not be as fatal as it was initially believed, but its spread is far greater than the flu or anything major we’ve seen in decades. This is due in part because asymptomatic people can be contagious for over a week. As the disease spreads across the country and around the world, one political assessment cannot be disputed: The left’s love for open borders has, is, and will continue to exacerbate the problem.
We, as a nation, must control our borders. That means three things need to change as soon as possible. First, we need to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into our nation. Any thoughts that this is not the case need only to learn about the masses of people coming from nations where the infection is already bad, entering the United States illegally through the borders made porous by Democratic policies.
Second, we must allow for instant actions by the White House that are above reproach from legal objections. The President has always enjoyed wide powers when it comes to who can enter the country and how they do so, but during the Trump administration there have been floods of legal challenges to every single travel restriction and border security move that he’s made.
Third, we need to overhaul the process for entering our nation legally. Better screening and more importantly better tracking of those who come here from foreign lands must be brought forward in the form of legislation. This cannot be an executive order. It must be codified.
By sequencing the genome of the #SARSCoV2 / #HCoV19 virus, we can see which infections are connected to which other infections. See here for background https://t.co/TaH7yonZP1 and @nextstrain https://t.co/JHWNUOwchc for latest analysis. 2/8 — Trevor Bedford (@trvrb) March 16, 2020
The other four viruses appear as one-off introductions of either immediate travel cases, or as recent steps in a newly arrived transmission chain. Given genetic proximity, these appear to be related to viruses from Europe and Iran. 4/8 pic.twitter.com/PJdzoDR8ee — Trevor Bedford (@trvrb) March 16, 2020
Other states have fewer recently sequenced viruses. NY has two, one with direct travel history to Iran (and which has a genome consistent with this travel history) and another that appears to be a recent travel introduction from Europe. 6/8 pic.twitter.com/YvTs58TcfC — Trevor Bedford (@trvrb) March 16, 2020
I don't know exactly how to square the finding of a large community cluster in Washington State with these 4 apparently recently introduced viruses in other states. My strong suspicion is that more sequencing will reveal growing community clusters elsewhere in the US as well. 8/8 — Trevor Bedford (@trvrb) March 16, 2020
For now, the focus is on stopping the coronavirus from spreading and mitigating the damage from it. But changes need to be made to prevent something like this from happening in the future. That starts with immigration and travel restrictions.

Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
Six Bay Area counties announced a “shelter in place” order for all residents on Monday — the strictest measure of its kind in the country — directing everyone to stay inside their homes and away from others as much as possible for the next three weeks as public health officials desperately try to curb the rapid spread of coronavirus across the region. The directive begins at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and involves San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa and Alameda counties — a combined population of more than 6.7 million. It is to stay in place until at least April 7. Three other Bay Area counties — Sonoma, Solano and Napa — were not immediately included. The order falls just short of a full lockdown, which would forbid people from leaving their homes without explicit permission, and it wasn’t immediately clear how, or to what degree, it would be enforced. The order calls for the sheriff or chief of police to “ensure compliance.” In Italy and other places that have instituted lockdowns, travel outside the home has been restricted without permission and police have been ordering people back home if they don’t have a reason to be in public.
“The scientific evidence shows that at this stage of the (coronavirus) emergency, it is essential to slow virus transmission as much as possible to protect the most vulnerable and to prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed,” the order states. “One proven way to slow the transmission is to limit interactions among people to the greatest extent practicable.”
President Trump on Monday gave a presser from the White House briefing room and outlined new Coronavirus guidelines for Americans, predicting the virus will be a threat through July or August.


thelibertydaily--2020-03-16--NBC Reporter Breaks From Media’s Coronavirus Echo Chamber, Dares to Call Out Trump-Haters

Richard Engel is not a popular man on Twitter right now .
Engel , for those of you who are n't familiar , is NBC News ' chief foreign correspondent .
As with most every journalist working that beat these days , he 's covering the coronavirus outbreak and the fallout .
Most of his tweets regarding the virus are apolitical .
He 's clearly not a fan of the Trump administration -- a retweet of a Rachel Maddow clip in which MSNBC talked about how `` in the middle of a severe public health emergency , the president just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over again '' is a pretty good indication of that -- but this is about par for the course these days : TRENDING : 2 Fox stars gave Donna Brazile lesson in manners after outrageous 'Go to hell ' comment There are people getting angry on these Twitter threads because , well , they 're Twitter threads and of course they end up getting angry .
However , on Thursday , Engel managed to earn that anger -- even though he was right .
`` The reaction/overreaction in the US to the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` Trump ’ s critics have no confidence in him , so they panic .
Others defend Trump no matter what he does and don ’ t listen to anyone else .
Not a recipe for keep calm and carry on .
When broken you can ’ t be strong . ''
There was plenty of reaction to this , and not just from the typical Twitter peanut gallery .
There were plenty of blue-checkmarked personages who were more than a bit miffed at the NBC correspondent .
Amazing -- I did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainstream media '' hive that was in the business of `` com [ ing ] up with the most absurd and demeaning false equivalencies to keep [ its ] corporate bosses happy and the advertising dollars rolling in . ''
Note how Engel pointed out that both sides were being partisan over a disease at a time when we need to come together ( while maintaining social distancing , of course ) .
The reason I 've posted responses solely from the left is n't just because they have blue checkmarks nor is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out to create a sense of imbalance , given I 'm a conservative writer .
I searched for an angry pro-Trump response for as long as I could stand to read another Twitter thread full of invective over coronavirus .
Engel criticized both sides for their politicized reaction to COVID-19 .
One side got furious .
Especially given the number of people with minor-league verified accounts that ended up sharing their lividity , that says something .
As previously stated , though , Engel is right .
If there 's a reaction or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the fact that they believe they have no confidence in the leadership at the top .
Notice , for instance , the invective heaped on Trump 's two speeches last week -- including the kerfuffle over his use of the words `` foreign virus '' to describe coronavirus , which was decried by the press as xenophobic .
One of the people who implied there was xenophobia there was Joe Biden , who made the accusation in a speech on the virus last week that was widely praised as being presidential material @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One issue , of course , was the fact that Biden 's coronavirus plan was , on an almost issue-by-issue basis , the same as Trump 's .

thelibertydaily--2020-03-17--FAKE NEWS: CNN Twitter Account Claimed Date of Ohio Primary has been Changed; It Hasn’t

CNN ’ s Twitter account has over 45 million followers .
Many of them are in Ohio .
According to a Tweet by CNN , Tuesday ’ s primary election has been moved to June .
It has not .
Will Twitter suspend the account for spreading false election information ?
Their Terms of Service indicate they should , and they have suspended much smaller accounts in the past for even making jokes that seem to be election date , time , or location “ disinformation.
” What CNN Tweeted was very clearly worse than obvious jokes .
The Tweet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally removed it .
In that amount of time with so many followers , the damage was done .
One can argue that with a single Tweet , CNN likely misinformed more people about an election date than all of the combined conservative accounts suspended over jokes since the policy was initiated .
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine had requested to move the primary to June , but the courts denied the request and the election will proceed on Tuesday .
The mistaken headline and Tweet seemed to have been pre-written based on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be granted .
There is no way the reporters , even ones at CNN , could have mistaken the ruling as it was unambiguous .
It seemed everyone involved was just being sloppy .
The coronavirus may end up being a major influence on the primary because frontrunner Joe Biden holds the lion ’ s share of support from elderly Democrats .

CNN’s Twitter account has over 45 million followers. Many of them are in Ohio. According to a Tweet by CNN, Tuesday’s primary election has been moved to June. It has not. Will Twitter suspend the account for spreading false election information? Their Terms of Service indicate they should, and they have suspended much smaller accounts in the past for even making jokes that seem to be election date, time, or location “disinformation.”
What CNN Tweeted was very clearly worse than obvious jokes. The Tweet stayed live for 29 minutes before CNN finally removed it. In that amount of time with so many followers, the damage was done. One can argue that with a single Tweet, CNN likely misinformed more people about an election date than all of the combined conservative accounts suspended over jokes since the policy was initiated.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine had requested to move the primary to June, but the courts denied the request and the election will proceed on Tuesday. The mistaken headline and Tweet seemed to have been pre-written based on the assumption the move of the primary would be granted. There is no way the reporters, even ones at CNN, could have mistaken the ruling as it was unambiguous. It seemed everyone involved was just being sloppy.
The coronavirus may end up being a major influence on the primary because frontrunner Joe Biden holds the lion’s share of support from elderly Democrats. His remaining opponent, Bernie Sanders, has a much younger support base. CNN has acted in favor of Biden and against Sanders for months.
CNN is a “news” outlet that thrives on fake news and constantly spreads disinformation. Perhaps Twitter just assumes nobody takes them seriously anymore. After all, they often appear to be a parody account.

thelibertydaily--2020-03-17--Stu Burguiere: Every Word AOC Says About Coronavirus is Wrong

Why was South Korea able to react so much more quickly to their Chinese Coronavirus spread than the United States ?
According to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , it ’ s due to their single-payer healthcare system .
Even if we dismiss the failures of China ’ s similar system or Italy ’ s vaunted model for Medicare-for-All , we should still take a closer look at what South Korea did differently .
The Blaze host Stu Burguiere did just that .
He analyzed a Tweet sent out by AOC that currently has nearly 30k retweets .
It seems her sheep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found was that AOC ’ s Tweet was factually and intellectually wrong .
The biggest problem was in HOW South Korea has been able to do so much better at getting people tested .
Their solution : Turning quickly to the private sector to come up with a solution .
Marxists , at this point , will gasp .
Surely it was their government-run healthcare system that made things better , right ?
Wrong .
It was the decision by their government-run healthcare system to decide early on that this was too complex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unleashed the private sector in their nation to respond for them .
Why haven ’ t we done the same here ?
Actually , we have .
It just didn ’ t happen until very recently .
Now that it has , testing is going up dramatically .
Both vaccines and treatments are being fast-tracked to approval .
All of this was only able to happen because , like South Korea , the Trump administration did what they ’ ve been trying to do systematically from the beginning : Eliminate bureaucratic roadblocks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writer , Stacey Lennox , put together an excellent breakdown of what ’ s happening and why .
Her article yesterday is a clear and , frankly , angry declaration about the reality of the situation versus the way it ’ s being reported by mainstream media .
As Stu Burguiere and Stacey Lennox realize , there ’ s a very wide gap between the narrative the left is pushing to promote their agenda and the reality of this administration ’ s efforts to keep us safe .
The truth about the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Want to know one major reason why South Korea has had stellar rapid response and quickly produced & scaled up to 10k+ tests/day? They have a single payer, #MedicareForAll system. We don’t. Please remember why it’s so important for us to fight for healthcare as a human right. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 12, 2020

My fellow NOQ writer, Stacey Lennox, put together an excellent breakdown of what’s happening and why. Her article yesterday is a clear and, frankly, angry declaration about the reality of the situation versus the way it’s being reported by mainstream media.
As Stu Burguiere and Stacey Lennox realize, there’s a very wide gap between the narrative the left is pushing to promote their agenda and the reality of this administration’s efforts to keep us safe. The truth about the Chinese Virus must be spread far and wide.

Dr. Oz knows folks forced to stay home over the next few weeks might go a little stir-crazy, especially couples, but he's got a simple calming solution -- as they say ... just do it!!!
We spotted Oz Monday on the empty streets of NYC, where he told us what people under quarantine should do to pass the time and avoid depression -- a legitimate concern in the current global climate.
The good doc says there's only so much TV binge-watching you should do -- he suggests doing something productive instead, like reading or picking up a new language. However, in two-person households -- he says nothing cuts the tension like a little sexual healing.
Even better, medically speaking ... Oz says bang it out early and often to keep things civil.

“It’s nothing like I expected,” Merck told KDVR. “Yes, I have coronavirus. I didn’t go out and get it on purpose.”
Merck said she does not know where she contracted the virus, but thinks it could have been during a work trip and extended vacation in Hawaii.
“We were on buses, trains; we were on planes having fun,” she said. “We went to a medical conference over there and on the day we were going to leave, I had little sniffles. That’s it.”
“We got back and my muscles ached, my bones ached and my joints ached really bad. It felt like someone was stabbing me with an ice pick and I was like, ‘I wonder if I have the flu.'”
Merck, an advanced practice nurse, said she contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after flu tests came back negative and she continued to suffer from recurring fevers, but health officials reportedly determined she did not meet the criteria for coronavirus testing.
“I felt really short of breath, I felt very fatigued,” Merck said. “Finally, on Sunday night, I told my husband, ‘I need you take me to the ER. I don’t feel well whenever I stand, I feel like I’m going to faint.’”
Doctors order a coronavirus test and Merck’s results returned positive on March 11.
She estimated she has lost around five pounds in the past weeks due to nausea, but is slowly getting better.
“My biggest things are I’m feeling really short of breath,” she said. “I’m feeling exhausted but I’m definitely getting healthier.”
Merck is currently in isolation, along with her husband, until at least March 22. She must register two negative tests at least 24 hours apart to be considered fit to reenter public life.

thelibertydaily--2020-03-17--Coronavirus Update: Liberals Find Out They Can’t Purchase Guns Online

As fears surrounding coronavirus spread throughout the country and Americans stock up on food , water and cleaning supplies , many citizens are looking to purchase firearms and ammunition in case things really spiral out of control .
While most conservatives likely have guns and ammo already , but could always use more , the left is now showing an interest in defending themselves and their property as well .
Firearms dealer Omaha Outdoors recently published an article saying they ’ ve “ been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answer is , of course , no , ” the website continues .
“ Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim , you can ’ t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house.
” Omaha Outdoors goes on to explain that only a federally licensed firearm dealer or federally licensed curio and relic collector whose home is their place of business can have guns purchased online shipped to them .
“ Other than that , no , you can ’ t buy a gun online and have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to your home , ” the firearm manufacturer stated .
The uptick in left-leaning Americans searching for firearms could end up teaching them the truth about purchasing weapons instead of believing liberal media disinformation about how easy it is for any lunatic to grab a gun .
Podcast host Robert Evans wrote on Twitter , “ The sheer number of normally anti-gun people who have reached out to me about buying a firearm in the last week is wild.
” “ My friends who work at other gun stores have seen a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with one noting that their one-day sales total exceeded Black Friday by 25 % , and that 75 % of buyers were purchasing their first gun , ” Omaha Outdoors ’ Andrew Tuohy writes .
Adding to the evidence that Democrat-leaning Americans are looking into firearms is a Los Angeles Times article describing surging gun sales in the liberal states of California , New York and Washington .
“ Consumers reportedly include both first-time buyers worried about the state of society and previous gun owners who are unsettled by the prospect of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emergency , ” writes The Hill .
No matter the reason , it ’ s always good to see Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights .

The peace and prosperity of President Trump ’ s first term in office was his biggest reelection asset , but also the greatest roadblock to his agenda .
A strong economy and a lack of major domestic threats lulled much of the country into a false sense of security .
These golden years , in sharp contrast to the economic malaise and regular terror @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it hard for many to feel a sense of urgency .
The border crisis was remote for most people .
As were the continuing deaths in Afghanistan .
The media ’ s torrent of smears and hit jobs , the sabotage of the administration by the bureaucracy , and a Democrat House bent on impeachment , made D.C. politics into the single greatest national crisis .
And that was exactly how they wanted it .
The Democrats didn ’ t really think that they could impeach President Trump and the media didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would force him out of office , but they contrived to divert the attention of the White House from its agenda with its Weapons of Mass Distraction .
And many conservatives likewise became so focused on these political stunts that they lost sight of the big picture .
We kept all our attention on the inside baseball of D.C. which was just what the Democrats wanted .
The coronavirus crisis breaks up the peace and prosperity of the first term .
It makes the path to a second term more challenging .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , empowered by public fears to take all the actions that he needs to lead this country through the crisis and secure a second term .
The Democrats don ’ t allow a crisis to go to waste .
That ’ s sleazy , crooked , and corrupt .
It ’ s also politics .
Every time there ’ s a disease outbreak , House Democrats leverage it to secure funds for abortion .
They did it during the Zika outbreak .
Now they ’ re doing it again .
Speaker Pelosi wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the infrastructure of community organizers and lefty activists behind it .
And the Democrats will get their way unless Republicans take the initiative by setting an agenda .
The media falsely claims that President Trump was unprepared for the coronavirus crisis .
The truth is that the problem was exactly what Make America Great Again warned about .
Globalism , our dependency on China , our economy ’ s interdependence with other countries around the world , the divergence of our supply chains , has the potential to bring us to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control our borders , not only with Mexico , but with the rest of the world , is a fatal weakness .
MAGA offered the solution to the coronavirus crisis before it even arrived on our shores .
America must reclaim its manufacturing sector , control its supply chains and its borders , and rebuild our economic relationships with other countries on more secure terms .
Unrestricted migration , whether through open borders , birth tourism , visa overstays , family chain migration , and insourcing , must end .
President Trump , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and go MAGA on the coronavirus .
A state of emergency and public support for urgent action provide the sense of crisis that can allow a broader MAGA agenda to move forward , over the usual obstructionism of elected and appointed Democrats in the legislatures and judiciary , and by their non-profit activist and their media allies .
The wall was an abstraction to most people .
Support for border security could be overridden with photos of crying children because most people don ’ t see open migration as a threat to them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made to them , they can and they will .
Using the military to actively secure the border , shutting down all travel to this country by foreigners , including immigrants and refugees , become much more viable policies in the coronavirus era .
What was formerly an uphill battle becomes common sense and forces Democrats into the position of arguing that their ideology and political agendas are more important than the health and safety of Americans .
It couldn ’ t get any better than this .
President Trump had trouble advancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lacked a sense of crisis .
And so he lacked the support he needed to override judicial interference and political sabotage because most people didn ’ t see that there was a problem big enough to justify cutting through all the red tape .
All that has changed now .
Coronavirus is a vital moment for overcoming the inertia of D.C. politics , for shifting attention from the latest antics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez , and politicians on both sides , from the latest revelations of House hearings and Senate investigations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big change .
If President Trump and MAGA conservatives can leave behind the Beltway , they can transform America .
The China trade , once a subject of bitter debate between those who benefit and those who lose , is now an undeniable threat .
As the PRC threatens to impose export controls on medications , and , as we learn how long the coronavirus can endure on metal and plastic in a viable form , we have all the arguments we need for decoupling our economy from the Communist enemies who had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can also take on political correctness .
The Democrat insistence on condemning descriptions of coronavirus as the “ Wuhan virus ” as racist once again shows that they put their politics ahead of dealing with the threat .
The more they ’ re triggered into spasms of political correctness , the more obvious it becomes that Joe Biden , who made a point of condemning politically incorrect references to the virus , would be hogtied by his party ’ s obsession with speech controls above all else .
The coronavirus crisis is perfect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Or the Trump administration .
One or the other will come out of this crisis on life support .
If the Democrats and the media continue to set the agenda , using the coronavirus panic to pass huge bills full of pork , while fake news stories accuse the White House of failing to act , it will be disastrous .
But if President Trump takes the bull by the horns , the Left will suffer its greatest defeat in history .
The media ’ s apocalyptic crisis hype is always its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support for impeaching President Trump among independents until the actual hearings aired and support collapsed .
Once independent voters saw that there was nothing to the actual proceedings , they turned their backs .
The media has convinced much of the nation that coronavirus is a pandemic that will kill millions .
If the country emerges from social distancing and widespread distribution of test kits with a flattened curve , then President Trump can enter the summer as a wartime president who led the nation through a crisis .
And , in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own apocalyptic crisis will become Trump ’ s best reelection argument .
When the apocalypse fails to arrive , President Trump can claim credit for averting the disaster .
It is obviously vital to manage the economic impact of the crisis , which the White House has been doing .
A poor economy will be a serious reelection obstacle .
And the media is absolutely hoping that will be the case .
But beyond the immediate issues of an economic stimulus , the coronavirus crisis must be reframed through the lens of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continues to define the response to the crisis , then its agenda will define not only the next few weeks , but , quite likely , the next few years .
The coronavirus is a crisis of globalism .
And yet the D.C. crowd insists that globalism is the answer .
President Trump can win big by making the case to the nation that the open borders and global government crowd has caused this disaster .
The coronavirus is the perfect storm that their global lifestyles , crowded urban centers , international trade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Globalism is the disease .
MAGA is the cure .

President Trump had trouble advancing much of his agenda because the public lacked a sense of crisis. And so he lacked the support he needed to override judicial interference and political sabotage because most people didn’t see that there was a problem big enough to justify cutting through all the red tape.
All that has changed now.
Coronavirus is a vital moment for overcoming the inertia of D.C. politics, for shifting attention from the latest antics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and politicians on both sides, from the latest revelations of House hearings and Senate investigations, to grappling with a nationwide agenda for big change.
If President Trump and MAGA conservatives can leave behind the Beltway, they can transform America.
The China trade, once a subject of bitter debate between those who benefit and those who lose, is now an undeniable threat. As the PRC threatens to impose export controls on medications, and, as we learn how long the coronavirus can endure on metal and plastic in a viable form, we have all the arguments we need for decoupling our economy from the Communist enemies who had devoured it whole.
Meanwhile, we can also take on political correctness. The Democrat insistence on condemning descriptions of coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus” as racist once again shows that they put their politics ahead of dealing with the threat. The more they’re triggered into spasms of political correctness, the more obvious it becomes that Joe Biden, who made a point of condemning politically incorrect references to the virus, would be hogtied by his party’s obsession with speech controls above all else.
The coronavirus crisis is perfect for dealing a fatal blow to globalism. Or the Trump administration.
One or the other will come out of this crisis on life support.
If the Democrats and the media continue to set the agenda, using the coronavirus panic to pass huge bills full of pork, while fake news stories accuse the White House of failing to act, it will be disastrous. But if President Trump takes the bull by the horns, the Left will suffer its greatest defeat in history.
The media’s apocalyptic crisis hype is always its greatest weakness. The media had mobilized support for impeaching President Trump among independents until the actual hearings aired and support collapsed.
Once independent voters saw that there was nothing to the actual proceedings, they turned their backs.
The media has convinced much of the nation that coronavirus is a pandemic that will kill millions. If the country emerges from social distancing and widespread distribution of test kits with a flattened curve, then President Trump can enter the summer as a wartime president who led the nation through a crisis.
And, in a judo flip, the media’s own apocalyptic crisis will become Trump’s best reelection argument. When the apocalypse fails to arrive, President Trump can claim credit for averting the disaster.
It is obviously vital to manage the economic impact of the crisis, which the White House has been doing. A poor economy will be a serious reelection obstacle. And the media is absolutely hoping that will be the case. But beyond the immediate issues of an economic stimulus, the coronavirus crisis must be reframed through the lens of a MAGA agenda. If the D.C. crowd continues to define the response to the crisis, then its agenda will define not only the next few weeks, but, quite likely, the next few years.
The coronavirus is a crisis of globalism. And yet the D.C. crowd insists that globalism is the answer.
President Trump can win big by making the case to the nation that the open borders and global government crowd has caused this disaster. The coronavirus is the perfect storm that their global lifestyles, crowded urban centers, international trade, and global bureaucracies have wrought.
Globalism is the disease. MAGA is the cure.

thelibertydaily--2020-03-17--Tyrannical Leftist Judge Rules Alaska Taxpayers Must Bankroll Librarian’s “Sex-Change” Surgery

JUNEAU , Alaska , March 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A federal judge has sided with an Alaska librarian who is demanding the state subsidize his gender reassignment surgery as a public employee , ruling Friday that federal civil-rights law should be interpreted as mandating the coverage .

Jennifer Fletcher, a man who identifies as a woman, is a state legislative librarian in Juneau. He says he has had to spend thousands of dollars on sex-reassignment treatments because they aren’t covered by the state’s health insurance plan, Alaska Public Media reported.
Represented by the pro-LGBT group Lambda Legal, Fletcher sued the state on the grounds that the exclusion supposedly violates the federal ban on “sex discrimination” in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The state responded that the procedures in question would not have been covered for men or women, but U.S. District Court Judge H. Russel ultimately agreed with Lambda’s argument.
Russel’s decision could be appealed, but the dispute is more likely to be resolved by a case already before the U.S. Supreme Court that consolidates several similar controversies from around the country and hinges on the meaning of the 1964 law.
The text of Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” At issue is whether this reference to sex should be interpreted to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”
“The meaning of ‘sex’ depends on the term’s public meaning in 1964, the year Congress enacted Title VII,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) senior counsel John Bursch argued. “There is little dispute that, in 1964, the term ‘sex’ was publicly understood, as it is now, to mean biological sex: male and female.

Should the LGBT lobby’s interpretation prevail, the fallout would go far beyond protecting homosexual or transgender Americans from tangible harm. Rather, it could force churches to recognize same-sex “marriages”; photographers, florists, and bakers to participate in same-sex “weddings”; and women and girls to share sleeping quarters, showers, changing areas, and restrooms with gender-confused males (or men claiming trans status to get easy access to vulnerable women).
