thelibertydaily--2020-05-05--Rush Limbaugh: Want to Survive? Move to a ‘Red State’: ‘You are About 2.9 Times More Likely to Die’

Rush Limbaugh: Want to Survive? Move to a ‘Red State’: ‘You are About 2.9 Times More Likely to Die’ of Chi-Com Virus ‘if You Live in a Blue [Democrat] State’

The governors of some states are easing their coronavirus lockdowns while others envision restrictions continuing into the summer .
If you want to survive , contends talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh , you 'll want to move to a `` red state '' run by a Republican governor .
`` You know what the Democrats states are doing ?
Do you know what this is all about ?
The states that are not opening up , the Democrat states continue … you know the greatest death rate in this country is in blue states ?
If you want to survive , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said Tuesday .
States run by Democrats , said Limbaugh , seem to be seeking `` a total economic collapse so that there is only the federal government bailing them out as an option . ''
`` And , along with the bailout would come eliminating the problems they have with their unfunded pension liabilities , '' Limbaugh said .
Further , the closures harm the economy and President Trump 's re-election chances .
`` I mean , there ’ s so much going on with all of this that has nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has nothing to do with saving lives .
It has nothing to do with revitalizing the economy .
And all of this strategizing , all of this deceit , the manipulation , all of this is occurring in the blue states run by , of course , Democrat governors , '' he said .
Limbaugh pointed out it 's widely believed people would n't feel comfortable getting out in the public again , but that `` conventional wisdom '' is wrong , he said .
`` Americans say they are getting less worried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in large group activities , according to the latest installment of the Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index , '' he said , quoting from the report .
`` As states start to relax shelter-in-place orders and allow more businesses to open , there is increasing public appetite for the kind of activities that could help spur the economy toward recovery . ''
Axios , he noted , reported people are starting to lose their fear about leaving home .
`` This is another thing the experts told us would not happen .
They told us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lockdown seven , eight weeks , the virus is still out there , that people are gon na be scared , '' he said .
`` Turns out that the fear is abating .
And here ’ s the thing about it psychologically .
When the fear is gone , the consequences of the fear will be long lasting , '' he said .
`` The plague narrative gets harder to support every day .
Now , if you want to believe the worst , I mean , you can find plenty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'Oh , this is the worst , it ’ s hopeless , we ’ re all gon na die , it ’ s over , it ’ s just a matter of time . '
But a lot of people are just , 'You know what ?
All this horrible stuff that they ’ ve predicted , it isn ’ t happening , it hasn ’ t begun to happen . '
'' He pointed out the stark contrast between how Republicans and Democrats respond .
Democrats are twice as likely as Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together in gatherings as risky , he said .
`` Now , why would that be ?
What is the difference in Democrats or Republicans here ?
Why would Democrats think , 'It ’ s much more risky .
Oh , it ’ s gon na be terrible .
Oh , my God .
We can ’ t go out there .
We could die .
We could get sick . '
Why do so many more Democrats have this pessimistic , negative , scared-to-death attitude about living ?
Are Democrats not able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to use common sense ?
Are they consuming too much Democrats in the media ?
Are they just sick ? ''
he said .
He cited a Spectator story by David Catron who said your chance of dying from COVID-19 is notably higher if you live in a blue state .
`` A far more predictive metric is ‘ death rate per million.
’ Why ?
Testing is far more consistent for fatal cases , '' Catron wrote .
`` By this measurement , you are probably more likely to die from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state rather than '' a red state .
Limbaugh noted that if you live in New Jersey , you are 13 times more likely to die from coronavirus than if you live in Florida .
In red states the average coronavirus death rate per million is about 82 .
For blue states , and the District of Columbia , run by Democrats , it 's about 235 .
`` On average , then , you are about 2.9 times more likely to die of COVID-19 if you live a blue state than if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' he said .
`` The most predictive factor is whether you live in a blue or red state . ''

The governors of some states are easing their coronavirus lockdowns while others envision restrictions continuing into the summer.
If you want to survive, contends talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh, you'll want to move to a "red state" run by a Republican governor.
"You know what the Democrats states are doing? Do you know what this is all about? The states that are not opening up, the Democrat states continue … you know the greatest death rate in this country is in blue states? If you want to survive, move to a red state," he said Tuesday.
States run by Democrats, said Limbaugh, seem to be seeking "a total economic collapse so that there is only the federal government bailing them out as an option."
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
"And, along with the bailout would come eliminating the problems they have with their unfunded pension liabilities," Limbaugh said.
Further, the closures harm the economy and President Trump's re-election chances.
"I mean, there’s so much going on with all of this that has nothing to do with the virus. It has nothing to do with saving lives. It has nothing to do with revitalizing the economy. And all of this strategizing, all of this deceit, the manipulation, all of this is occurring in the blue states run by, of course, Democrat governors," he said.
Limbaugh pointed out it's widely believed people wouldn't feel comfortable getting out in the public again, but that "conventional wisdom" is wrong, he said.
"Americans say they are getting less worried about leaving their homes and taking part in large group activities, according to the latest installment of the Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index," he said, quoting from the report. "As states start to relax shelter-in-place orders and allow more businesses to open, there is increasing public appetite for the kind of activities that could help spur the economy toward recovery."
Axios, he noted, reported people are starting to lose their fear about leaving home.
"This is another thing the experts told us would not happen. They told us that people would remain afraid, that the lockdown seven, eight weeks, the virus is still out there, that people are gonna be scared," he said.
"Turns out that the fear is abating. And here’s the thing about it psychologically. When the fear is gone, the consequences of the fear will be long lasting," he said. "The plague narrative gets harder to support every day. Now, if you want to believe the worst, I mean, you can find plenty of news that will tell you, 'Oh, this is the worst, it’s hopeless, we’re all gonna die, it’s over, it’s just a matter of time.' But a lot of people are just, 'You know what? All this horrible stuff that they’ve predicted, it isn’t happening, it hasn’t begun to happen.'"
He pointed out the stark contrast between how Republicans and Democrats respond.
Democrats are twice as likely as Republicans to see leaving the house and getting together in gatherings as risky, he said.
"Now, why would that be? What is the difference in Democrats or Republicans here? Why would Democrats think, 'It’s much more risky. Oh, it’s gonna be terrible. Oh, my God. We can’t go out there. We could die. We could get sick.' Why do so many more Democrats have this pessimistic, negative, scared-to-death attitude about living? Are Democrats not able to think logically?

thelibertydaily--2020-05-05--Brit Hume Laughs at NY Times: ‘Beyond Parody’ to Ask DNC to Investigate Sexual Predator Joe Biden

Appearing on Fox News ’ s Special Report Monday evening , senior political analyst Brit Hume openly laughed at the absurd suggestion from The New York Times that the Democratic National Committee should be in charge of investigating sexual assault allegations against its own presumptive presidential nominee , Joe Biden .
Anchor Bret Baier pointed out : “ ... one thing raised eyebrows this week , and that ’ s The New York Times .
To investigate Tara Reade ’ s allegations , “ The Democratic National Committee , ” it says , ‘ should move to investigate the matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Biden campaign ... .conducted by an unbiased , apolitical panel put together by the DNC and chosen to foster as much trust as possible.
’ ” Even before Baier finished quoting the Times , Hume began laughing .
He then admitted : “ When I first heard about it , I thought it was not true .
I thought it couldn ’ t possibly be true .
But then I looked and read the editorial itself , it is true.
” Hume mocked the liberal paper for proposing the idea : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s almost like nothing I ’ ve ever seen before .
It is really quite beyond parody that a leading newspaper would suggest that the presumptive nominee of a party ought to be investigated by that party .
I mean , you know , that tells you as much as anything ever could about the state of the mainstream media in America today and it is absolutely amazing .
He even noted that Democrats themselves were rejecting the notion : “ And I know that at least some on the Democratic side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They don ’ t think that ’ s gon na fly .
And of course it won ’ t fly.
” Hume concluded : “ But it tells you a lot about the state of our media.
” After much of the media ignored the allegations against Biden for a month , the liberal press were forced to cover the story once NewsBusters uncovered video appearing to show Tara Reade ’ s mother calling in to Larry King Live in 1993 and corroborating her daughter ’ s claims against Biden at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the end of the media blackout , journalists have been working to make sure the scandal gets covered on the Biden campaign ’ s terms .
Here is a transcript of the May 4 exchange on Special Report : BRET BAIER : I want to ask you about this Tara Reade allegation .
I ’ ve heard you speak – that we may not know the end result of where it goes , but one thing raised eyebrows this week , and that ’ s The New York Times .
To investigate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Democratic National Committee , ” it says , “ should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of the Biden campaign .
Any inventory should be strictly limited to information about Ms. Reade and conducted by an unbiased , apolitical panel put together by the DNC and chosen to foster as much trust as possible.
” What do you think of that ?
BRIT HUME [ LAUGHING ] : When I first heard about it , I thought it was not true .
I thought it couldn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then I looked and read the editorial itself , it is true .
And it ’ s just – it ’ s almost like nothing I ’ ve ever seen before .

Naturally , this means that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And episode five , released on Sunday , was no different .
National news headlines have come from this particular episode , where Jordan did not feel the need to apologize for his famous , “ Republicans buy sneakers too ” comment , which was made in the midst of the 1990 U.S. Senate race between Democrat Harvey Gantt and incumbent Republican Jesse Helms .
“ I do n't think that statement needs to be corrected because I said it in jest on a bus with Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ It was thrown off the cuff .

Which is what I did.

In the episode , ESPN played an old clip of Nathan McCall ( author and former contributor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Muhammed Ali .

This 10-part series documents the Chicago Bulls' 1997-1998 season. But, it also shows the events and the careers of those involved with the team, leading up to that point.

“I do commend Muhammed Ali for standing up for what he believed in, but I never thought of myself as an activist. I thought of myself as a basketball player.

‘ These decisions they are making today will have long-lasting consequences for the economic opportunities and the prosperity of their citizens for many years to come… ’ ( Claire Russel , Liberty Headlines ) As states begin to transition toward reopening , it is becoming increasingly clear which governors managed the coronavirus health crisis well , and which ones did not .

“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a good faith effort to weigh the risks of the health of their citizens versus the economic well-being of their state , ” FreedomWorks stated in its analysis .
“ No governor wants to impoverish their citizens .

Polis ’ s argument has been that the state needs to transition to a more sustainable level of social distancing , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their disastrous economic effects , he explained .
Murphy received an “ F ” for dismissing the legitimate , constitutional concerns of his citizens while refusing to give an end date for the state ’ s stay-at-home order .
He has continually pushed back the reopening date , claiming that “ there will be blood on our hands ” if he lifts the order too soon .

When asked when he sees the US economy rebounding, Zell said that public apprehension about leaving quarantines could stifle an uptrend for months after initial reopenings. Malls, airports, and hotels could face prolonged weakness as Americans avoid health risks. Just because a business opens doesn't mean it will meet the demand needed to stay afloat, Zell said.
The businessman is particularly wary of the real-estate and construction sectors. He expects several retailers and hotels to be crushed under lofty reopening costs and insufficient revenue. A wave of bankruptcies is necessary to create room for new firms and economic recovery, he said, and major distressed-debt players including Oaktree Capital and Pimco are raising billions of dollars to capitalize on the trend.
Surging defaults should prelude an economic bounce-back, Zell said, but those looking to invest in the short term will have a harder go of it thanks to the coronavirus pandemic's widespread fallout.
"The fact that there's a lot more distressed players today will help clear the market, but it also means that there aren't anywhere near as many opportunities as there were in the past," Zell said.

The vast uncertainties are mirrored in the stock market as well, Zell added. Equity valuations don't "actually reflect the reality of what's going on," he said, as prices reflect an incredibly optimistic outlook for virus containment. April represented the best month since 1987 for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average, with the indexes soaring on new optimism about a cure and economic reopenings.
While several areas have improved their handling of outbreaks, market dynamics reveal more of a sprint for near-term gains than multiyear investing strategies, Zell said.
"It's a little bit like the game musical chairs. Everybody in the market knows that the music is playing, and while the music is playing, they've got to walk around," Zell said. "But they also know that there's going to be one less chair when the music stops, and therefore their focus is all on: How do I make sure I get one of those chairs?"

thelibertydaily--2020-05-05--How The Left Enables Communist China’s Inhumanity

A recent tweet and article by Politico shows just how the leftist agenda has empowered a new evil empire .
Politico published a piece this week that amounts to a love letter to communist China .
The tweet promoting it is horrendous , the article is worse , and the consequences of being Beijing ’ s blog of propaganda will hurt the very Chinese people that Politico pretends to be representing .
Here you can judge for yourself .
So there ’ s a lot to unpack here .
First of all , this idea that Weibo , a Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America .
Weibo is operated and monitored by the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) .
To pretend that anything that appears there represents the true attitudes of the Chinese people would be laughable if it wasn ’ t so dangerous .
It ’ s roughly the equivalent of a Nazi press conference in 1940 in which some Jews in Warsaw praise the efficiency of the German government with big smiles while guns are pointed at them .
Let ’ s bear in mind that China has a million Uyghur Muslims in concentration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kong , disappears not only dissidents , but also doctors who defy orders in an attempt to stop a pandemic , and tracks the social behavior of every person under their murderous rule .
Given all of this , is it possible , just maybe , that people in China don ’ t feel totally free to express their true opinions on CCP tracked social media ?
Add to all of this that the Politico article blindly accepts Chinese facts and figures on their coronavirus response rate even though it is patently obvious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for months .
It ’ s a damning situation and one that needs its origins understood .
How did we reach a place where a mainstream American outlet is literally pushing Chinese Communist Propaganda ?
The answer to this question lies in a cultural relativism crafted by the left over the past few decades , which paralyzes them from criticizing other cultures even while they rip their own to shreds .
After all , who are we to call out human rights abuses when we are destroying the planet , cultivating systemic racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ internationally in imperialist ways and culturally appropriating everyone ’ s outfits ?
To see this at work , look no further than the Pulitzer Prize that the New York Times just received for its “ 1619 Project.
” In this case , the problem with the project isn ’ t the giant cannon balls historians have blown through its flimsy fabric , but rather the intention of the project itself .
It isn ’ t just that the Times is trying to center the American narrative around the horrible institution of slavery , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replace the concept of freedom as the primary motivating desire of the American experiment .
Once you do that , the stated goals and values of the founding of our country , which have certainly been poorly executed for much of our history , become essentially irrelevant .
At that point it becomes results , not principles , that guide moral judgments regarding governments and cultures .
That is exactly the foolhardy approach that Politico has taken in its naïve and troubling tweet and piece .
The normalization of totalitarian regimes in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is nothing new .
In the 1920s and 1930s , New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty served as a propagandist parroting Soviet talking points as millions were shipped to the Gulags .
Oh , and he won a Pulitzer Prize for it .
Go figure .
As we enter what may become another Cold War with China it is useful to remember a few words from Ronald Reagan ’ s “ evil empire ” speech that helped win the last one : “ I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and label both sides equally at fault , to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire , to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.
” It is easy to put the excesses of the contemporary Left down to its deranged hatred of Donald Trump , but this badly misses the point .
The seeds of these obsequious genuflections to communist China were sown long before the magic ride on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were given a pass for inhumanity in the twentieth century , now that same rationalization of relativism is being employed again .
The most effective way to fight communist China , our greatest geopolitical foe , is to embrace and understand what makes freedom better than tyranny , tolerance better than concentration camps , and free speech better than demands of praise for the Community Party .
Happily , the New York Times and the past Politicos of the world lost the last Cold War and they will lose this one too .

Trump is getting roasted on Chinese Twitter for his virus response, highlighting a broad verdict there: America disastrously faltered while China outperformed https://t.co/GTjxnvCVuM — POLITICO (@politico) May 4, 2020
So there’s a lot to unpack here. First of all, this idea that Weibo, a Chinese social network is comparable to Twitter in America. Weibo is operated and monitored by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). To pretend that anything that appears there represents the true attitudes of the Chinese people would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous. It’s roughly the equivalent of a Nazi press conference in 1940 in which some Jews in Warsaw praise the efficiency of the German government with big smiles while guns are pointed at them.
Let’s bear in mind that China has a million Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, is crushing dissent in Hong Kong, disappears not only dissidents, but also doctors who defy orders in an attempt to stop a pandemic, and tracks the social behavior of every person under their murderous rule. Given all of this, is it possible, just maybe, that people in China don’t feel totally free to express their true opinions on CCP tracked social media?
Add to all of this that the Politico article blindly accepts Chinese facts and figures on their coronavirus response rate even though it is patently obvious that China has been lying about it for months. It’s a damning situation and one that needs its origins understood. How did we reach a place where a mainstream American outlet is literally pushing Chinese Communist Propaganda?
The answer to this question lies in a cultural relativism crafted by the left over the past few decades, which paralyzes them from criticizing other cultures even while they rip their own to shreds. After all, who are we to call out human rights abuses when we are destroying the planet, cultivating systemic racism, irresponsibly allowing gun ownership, interfering internationally in imperialist ways and culturally appropriating everyone’s outfits?
To see this at work, look no further than the Pulitzer Prize that the New York Times just received for its “1619 Project.” In this case, the problem with the project isn’t the giant cannon balls historians have blown through its flimsy fabric, but rather the intention of the project itself. It isn’t just that the Times is trying to center the American narrative around the horrible institution of slavery, but that it is actively trying to replace the concept of freedom as the primary motivating desire of the American experiment.
Once you do that, the stated goals and values of the founding of our country, which have certainly been poorly executed for much of our history, become essentially irrelevant. At that point it becomes results, not principles, that guide moral judgments regarding governments and cultures. That is exactly the foolhardy approach that Politico has taken in its naïve and troubling tweet and piece.
The normalization of totalitarian regimes in the name of social progress in the media is nothing new. In the 1920s and 1930s, New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty served as a propagandist parroting Soviet talking points as millions were shipped to the Gulags. Oh, and he won a Pulitzer Prize for it. Go figure.
As we enter what may become another Cold War with China it is useful to remember a few words from Ronald Reagan’s “evil empire” speech that helped win the last one:
“I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”
It is easy to put the excesses of the contemporary Left down to its deranged hatred of Donald Trump, but this badly misses the point. The seeds of these obsequious genuflections to communist China were sown long before the magic ride on the golden escalator. Just as the communists were given a pass for inhumanity in the twentieth century, now that same rationalization of relativism is being employed again.
The most effective way to fight communist China, our greatest geopolitical foe, is to embrace and understand what makes freedom better than tyranny, tolerance better than concentration camps, and free speech better than demands of praise for the Community Party. Happily, the New York Times and the past Politicos of the world lost the last Cold War and they will lose this one too.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-06--Orwellian: Twitter Makes Big Move Into Thought Policing

First , Congratulations to My Colleagues After a record-setting traffic month in April here at PJ Media , my colleagues had their most prolific day ever on Tuesday , cranking out more posts than we probably did in a week back when I started .
I think I linked to them all .
I hope I linked to them all .
OH GOD , I PROBABLY DIDN ’ T LINK TO THEM ALL .
Congratulations to them all for continuing to bring you perspectives on the news that you certainly won ’ t find in any mainstream media outlets .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of you who keep reading !
No doubt I will be accused of overreacting by some , but I ’ ve been watching this play out for years .
At times it seems as if Facebook ’ s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter ’ s Jack Dorsey are engaged in some sort of personal , perverse billionaire fun and trying to see which one can make his platform more heavy-handed when it comes to the freedom of expression of its users .
Dorsey gets my vote every time , and not just because I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter is forever trying new ways to police speech in the name of “ safety , ” which is laughable .
Dorsey and Co. use the safety angle to position themselves as the arbiters of what words mean and whether they should be classified as “ hate speech.
” That , in these increasingly wuss-filled times , gets to be the slipperiest of slopes in a hurry , leading to all sorts of unfairness .
More on that in a moment .
Let ’ s get to today ’ s twist , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The creep factor here can not be overstated .
This is a social media platform monitoring some text , then judging your thoughts and feelings , THEN suggesting you might just want to go in another direction mister or missy .
Yes , this is only an iOS test at the moment but , trust me , if it ’ s a lousy , oppressive idea Twitter will stick with it and roll it out to everyone .
It ’ s easy to see how quickly Twitter could abuse this .
Should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggested you not , they might just decide to suspend you for that .
The angry speech will be classified as hate speech and off we go .
The real problem is that Twitter never applies the hate speech rules equally to liberals and conservatives .
Conservatives are routinely suspended for relatively benign things while liberals threaten all sorts of violence on conservatives and are left alone .
This may not seem important to a lot of people but those of us in conservative media still need social media for a variety of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large drivers of traffic and that ’ s a fact of life that ’ s not going to change any time soon .
It ’ s important to keep on top of what they ’ re up to and constantly shed light on the more uncomfortable stuff .
The louder we are , the harder we are to get rid of .
I was out for a bike ride early yesterday near the University of Arizona .
Two bicycle cops rolled up next to me at a long red light .
None of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only a couple of feet apart .
Nice conversation .
No weirdness .
Quite the contrast with other cities where cops are busting people for social distance violations .
Always glad I moved back to Arizona .
Sadly , I also discovered that the place where I buy my bikes and get them worked on was a victim of the shutdown .

It’ll Happen
No doubt I will be accused of overreacting by some, but I’ve been watching this play out for years.
At times it seems as if Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey are engaged in some sort of personal, perverse billionaire fun and trying to see which one can make his platform more heavy-handed when it comes to the freedom of expression of its users.
Dorsey gets my vote every time, and not just because I use Twitter far more than Facebook. Twitter is forever trying new ways to police speech in the name of “safety,” which is laughable. Dorsey and Co. use the safety angle to position themselves as the arbiters of what words mean and whether they should be classified as “hate speech.” That, in these increasingly wuss-filled times, gets to be the slipperiest of slopes in a hurry, leading to all sorts of unfairness.
More on that in a moment.
Let’s get to today’s twist, which I saw on our sister site Twitchy:
Twitter is continually rolling out new features that absolutely no one asked for, and on Tuesday, Twitter Support announced a limited roll-out on its iOS app of a new experiment: Twitter will apparently scan your tweet for language that could be harmful and put up a prompt to see if you really mean to send it in the heat of the moment.
Twitter’s announcement:
When things get heated, you may say things you don't mean. To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited experiment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful. — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) May 5, 2020
The creep factor here cannot be overstated. This is a social media platform monitoring some text, then judging your thoughts and feelings, THEN suggesting you might just want to go in another direction mister or missy.
Yes, this is only an iOS test at the moment but, trust me, if it’s a lousy, oppressive idea Twitter will stick with it and roll it out to everyone.
It’s easy to see how quickly Twitter could abuse this. Should you go ahead with a thought they suggested you not, they might just decide to suspend you for that.
The angry speech will be classified as hate speech and off we go.
The real problem is that Twitter never applies the hate speech rules equally to liberals and conservatives. Conservatives are routinely suspended for relatively benign things while liberals threaten all sorts of violence on conservatives and are left alone.
This may not seem important to a lot of people but those of us in conservative media still need social media for a variety of things. Facebook and Twitter are still large drivers of traffic and that’s a fact of life that’s not going to change any time soon.
It’s important to keep on top of what they’re up to and constantly shed light on the more uncomfortable stuff.
The louder we are, the harder we are to get rid of.
A Note From America
I was out for a bike ride early yesterday near the University of Arizona. Two bicycle cops rolled up next to me at a long red light. None of us were wearing masks and we were only a couple of feet apart. Nice conversation. No weirdness. Quite the contrast with other cities where cops are busting people for social distance violations. Always glad I moved back to Arizona.
Sadly, I also discovered that the place where I buy my bikes and get them worked on was a victim of the shutdown. Closed for good.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-06--Globalist Depopulationist Bill Gates-Backed Researchers Dramatically Raise Death Prediction As Lockd

Globalist Depopulationist Bill Gates-Backed Researchers Dramatically Raise Death Prediction As Lockdowns Ease

Now that states not controlled by dictatorial Democrats have begun to slowly ease the restrictive and ruinous lockdowns , there is a desperate effort to instill more fear in the hearts of traumatized Americans .
According to researchers from University of Washington ’ s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ( IHME ) the decision to allow people to return to work will result in piles of dead bodies .
The IHME is now predicting that there will be at least 135,000 more dead people by August if the measures that have already destroyed millions of lives are loosened even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are beginning to appear .
For those who do n't have short memories , the IHME badly overestimated their influential model that was one of the two used to justify the draconian lockdowns by erroneously predicting over 2 million deaths .
Rather than hang their heads in shame for the damage that they 've already done , the IHME is now providing the fear-mongers in the media and the Democratic party with more material that they will use to push for the extension of lockdowns .
A newly revised coronavirus mortality model predicts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by early August , almost double previous projections , as social-distancing measures for quelling the pandemic are increasingly relaxed , researchers said on Monday .
The ominous new forecast from the University of Washington ’ s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ( IHME ) reflect “ rising mobility in most U.S. states ” with an easing of business closures and stay-at-home orders expected in 31 states by May 11 , the institute said .
“ We expect that the epidemic in many states will now extend through the summer , ” the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said in a statement .
The projections reinforced warnings from public health experts that a rising clamor to lift restrictions on commerce and social activities - in hopes of healing a ravaged economy - could exact a staggering cost in terms of human lives .
Despite having already been badly wrong and contributing to the panic that forced government officials to overreact with little thought of the devastating consequences if the economy was shut down , the researchers remain the gold standard for the corrupt , lying media .
The IHME like London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ badly failed in their forecasts of doom derives funding from billionaire Bill Gates who has used the health crisis to promote his dream of mandatory vaccines and even worse , Big Brother style tracking and monitoring systems that will transform freedom into slavery .
According to a 2017 press release from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation : The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and University of Washington 's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ( IHME ) announced today the foundation 's commitment to invest $ 279 million in IHME to expand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The investment will allow IHME to build on its work providing independent health evidence to improve population health .
The award complements other investments from the Gates Foundation to further the work of the University of Washington 's Population Health Initiative , which was launched in May 2016 and is establishing a university wide , 25-year vision to advance the health and well-being of people around the world .
`` IHME provides critical data about global health trends that can empower policymakers worldwide to identify better solutions in the fight against disease , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .
Mr. Gates who has been popping up virtually everywhere as almost a head of state who is in direct opposition to President Trump and the legitimately elected U.S. government is not a doctor but he stands to gain much if the state of emergency can be prolonged in order for him to be a savior with a vaccine .
The Microsoft kingpin called for a total national shutdown in a disturbing oped that was published by the Washington Post in late March .

Now that states not controlled by dictatorial Democrats have begun to slowly ease the restrictive and ruinous lockdowns, there is a desperate effort to instill more fear in the hearts of traumatized Americans.
According to researchers from University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) the decision to allow people to return to work will result in piles of dead bodies.

The IHME is now predicting that there will be at least 135,000 more dead people by August if the measures that have already destroyed millions of lives are loosened even as signs of an unprecedented economic cataclysm are beginning to appear.
For those who don’t have short memories, the IHME badly overestimated their influential model that was one of the two used to justify the draconian lockdowns by erroneously predicting over 2 million deaths.
Rather than hang their heads in shame for the damage that they’ve already done, the IHME is now providing the fear-mongers in the media and the Democratic party with more material that they will use to push for the extension of lockdowns.

Via Reuters, “Researchers double U.S. COVID-19 death forecast, citing eased restrictions”:
A newly revised coronavirus mortality model predicts nearly 135,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 by early August, almost double previous projections, as social-distancing measures for quelling the pandemic are increasingly relaxed, researchers said on Monday. The ominous new forecast from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) reflect “rising mobility in most U.S. states” with an easing of business closures and stay-at-home orders expected in 31 states by May 11, the institute said. “We expect that the epidemic in many states will now extend through the summer,” the IHME director, Dr. Christopher Murray, said in a statement. The projections reinforced warnings from public health experts that a rising clamor to lift restrictions on commerce and social activities – in hopes of healing a ravaged economy – could exact a staggering cost in terms of human lives.
Despite having already been badly wrong and contributing to the panic that forced government officials to overreact with little thought of the devastating consequences if the economy was shut down, the researchers remain the gold standard for the corrupt, lying media.
The IHME like London’s now infamous Imperial College which also badly failed in their forecasts of doom derives funding from billionaire Bill Gates who has used the health crisis to promote his dream of mandatory vaccines and even worse, Big Brother style tracking and monitoring systems that will transform freedom into slavery.
According to a 2017 press release from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation:
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) announced today the foundation’s commitment to invest $279 million in IHME to expand its work over the next decade. The investment will allow IHME to build on its work providing independent health evidence to improve population health. The award complements other investments from the Gates Foundation to further the work of the University of Washington’s Population Health Initiative, which was launched in May 2016 and is establishing a university wide, 25-year vision to advance the health and well-being of people around the world. “IHME provides critical data about global health trends that can empower policymakers worldwide to identify better solutions in the fight against disease,” said Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Mr. Gates who has been popping up virtually everywhere as almost a head of state who is in direct opposition to President Trump and the legitimately elected U.S. government is not a doctor but he stands to gain much if the state of emergency can be prolonged in order for him to be a savior with a vaccine.
The Microsoft kingpin called for a total national shutdown in a disturbing oped that was published by the Washington Post in late March.

Gates wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that he has spoken with experts through his work with his charity who said a national policy would be more effective over having a hodgepodge of states issue stay-at-home orders while others remain more open. He argued that the country needs a “consistent nationwide approach to shutting down.” “Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely. In some states, beaches are still open; in others, restaurants still serve sit-down meals,” Gates wrote. “This is a recipe for disaster. Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus. The country’s leaders need to be clear: Shutdown anywhere means shutdown everywhere,” he added. “Until the case numbers start to go down across America — which could take 10 weeks or more — no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown.”

Compassion for working Americans has never been one of Gates’ strong points because as one of richest men on the planet, he isn’t going to be affected one bit while businesses are bankrupted, people struggle to eat and the futures of America’s children are sacrificed on the altar of his vanity.
Now, it’s do-or-die for those who are determined to keep Americans under house arrest in order to destroy President Trump’s reelection chances with the entire country viewed as acceptable collateral damage.

thelibertydaily--2020-05-06--The Nation’s Report Card Shows a Sorry State for Eighth-Graders

The Department of Education just released results of the quadrennial National Assessment of Educational Progress tests in U.S. history , civics , and geography given in 2018 to thousands of American eighth-graders : “ Grade 8 Students ’ NAEP Scores Decline in Geography and U.S. History ; Results in Civics Unchanged Since 2014.
” The tests were administered from January to March 2018 to a nationally representative sample of 42,700 eighth-graders from about 780 schools .
The news is not very good .
Only 24 % of students performed at or above the “ proficient ” level in civics .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ proficient or above in American history and 25 % were proficient in geography .
At least 25 % of America ’ s eighth-graders are what NAEP defines as “ below basic ” in U.S. history , civics , and geography .
That means they have no understanding of historical and civic issues and can not point out basic locations on a map .
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos referred to the recent national report card as “ stark and inexcusable.
” She blamed “ antiquated ” education methods for low test scores among the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s nonsense .
I ’ d bet the rent money that eighth-grade students of earlier periods , say during the 1920s , ’ 30s , and ’ 40s who were burdened with “ antiquated ” education methods such as having to learn algebra and geometry , identifying parts of speech , and memorizing poems like “ Old Ironsides ” could run circles around today ’ s eighth-graders , high school graduates , and perhaps some college graduates .
I think we need to bring back these authentically antiquated education methods .
Part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given by Jeffrey Sikkenga , professor of political science and executive director of the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University .
He said : Students need to go back to America ’ s past and ask it questions , starting with our founding .
They need to study great documents like the Declaration of Independence , the Constitution , Abraham Lincoln ’ s ‘ Gettysburg Address , ’ and Martin Luther King ’ s ‘ I Have a Dream ’ speech .
Not just read about them in boring textbooks , but read the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great conversations with those great minds—discover for themselves the story of America in the words of those who lived it .
The school climate , seldom discussed , plays a very important role in education .
During the 2017-18 school year , there were an estimated 962,300 violent incidents and 476,100 nonviolent incidents in U.S. public schools nationwide .
Seventy-one percent of schools reported having at least one violent incident , and 65 % reported having at least one nonviolent incident .
Schools with 1,000 or more students had at least one sworn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of those law enforcement officers carry firearms .
I bet that decades ago , one would be hard put to find either armed or unarmed police officers patrolling the building .
For example , between 1950 and 1954 , I attended Benjamin Franklin High School in Philadelphia .
The only time we saw a police officer in the building was during an assembly where we had to listen to a boring lecture on safety .
Today , police patrol the hallways .
Another school in north Philadelphia , Strawberry Mansion High School , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school police officers , and two metal detectors .
Students had to walk through the metal detectors to enter the building and were often searched by police officers .
It was on the list of those most persistently dangerous schools in Pennsylvania .
Aside from violence , there are many instances of outright disrespect for teachers .
First- and second-graders telling teachers to “ Shut the f— up ” and calling teachers “ bitch.
” To note the attitude of some school administrators , a New Jersey teacher was seriously assaulted by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to permanently remove the student from her classroom , the principal told her to “ put on her big girl panties and deal with it.
” Years ago , the behavior of young people that we see today would have never been tolerated .
There was the vice principal ’ s office where corporal punishment would be administered for gross infractions .
If the kid was unwise enough to tell his parents what happened , he might get more punishment at home .
Today , unfortunately , we ’ ve replaced practices that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caring , and we ’ re witnessing the results .

Only 24% of students performed at or above the “proficient” level in civics. Worse yet, only 15% scored proficient or above in American history and 25% were proficient in geography. At least 25% of America’s eighth-graders are what NAEP defines as “below basic” in U.S. history, civics, and geography.
That means they have no understanding of historical and civic issues and cannot point out basic locations on a map.

I think we need to bring back these authentically antiquated education methods.
Part of the solution to our education problem is given by Jeffrey Sikkenga, professor of political science and executive director of the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University. He said:
Students need to go back to America’s past and ask it questions, starting with our founding. They need to study great documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln’s ‘Gettysburg Address,’ and Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. Not just read about them in boring textbooks, but read the documents themselves, for themselves. Have great conversations with those great minds—discover for themselves the story of America in the words of those who lived it.
The school climate, seldom discussed, plays a very important role in education. During the 2017-18 school year, there were an estimated 962,300 violent incidents and 476,100 nonviolent incidents in U.S. public schools nationwide. Seventy-one percent of schools reported having at least one violent incident, and 65% reported having at least one nonviolent incident.
Schools with 1,000 or more students had at least one sworn law enforcement officer. About 90% of those law enforcement officers carry firearms.
I bet that decades ago, one would be hard put to find either armed or unarmed police officers patrolling the building. For example, between 1950 and 1954, I attended Benjamin Franklin High School in Philadelphia. The only time we saw a police officer in the building was during an assembly where we had to listen to a boring lecture on safety. Today, police patrol the hallways.
Another school in north Philadelphia, Strawberry Mansion High School, once had 94 security cameras, six school police officers, and two metal detectors. Students had to walk through the metal detectors to enter the building and were often searched by police officers. It was on the list of those most persistently dangerous schools in Pennsylvania.
Aside from violence, there are many instances of outright disrespect for teachers. First- and second-graders telling teachers to “Shut the f— up” and calling teachers “bitch.” To note the attitude of some school administrators, a New Jersey teacher was seriously assaulted by a student. When she asked her principal to permanently remove the student from her classroom, the principal told her to “put on her big girl panties and deal with it.”
Years ago, the behavior of young people that we see today would have never been tolerated. There was the vice principal’s office where corporal punishment would be administered for gross infractions. If the kid was unwise enough to tell his parents what happened, he might get more punishment at home.
Today, unfortunately, we’ve replaced practices that work with practices that sound good and caring, and we’re witnessing the results.
