Last Updated on April 14, 2020
(UPDATE: Since NATIONAL FILE broke this story, the parents in question have had multiple short video visits with their daughter)
A Child Protective Services (CPS) worker in Oklahoma used the Coronavirus outbreak to cut off a mother and father’s visits with their 20-month old daughter, even though the Department of Human Services, the state agency that oversees CPS, claims to be keeping parental visits open.
“DHS statewide has suspended all visitations due to the virus so after today’s visit, we cannot approve any more visitations until it is reinstated,” said CPS permanency worker Danelle Dillman in a Friday morning text message to Andrew Ritter regarding his 20-month old daughter, who was seized by the government for “Failure To Thrive” due to low infant birth weight after the girl’s mother chose to breastfeed her. Ritter and his wife said they preferred not to place their daughter on a particular appetite enhancer due to perceived conflict with the girl’s Zyrtec Antihistemine.
An Oklahoma DHS official told National File in a confusing, defensive interview that the state agency does not have a policy in place to suspend all visitations at this time, but rather to continue visitations using technology like Skype and FaceTime. But the official does not know if visitations are actually still occurring. Ritter and his wife never received an offer to hold a cyber-visit. Here is the text that permanency worker Dillman sent to Ritter:
When National File called up the headquarters for Oklahoma DHS, a woman who answered the phone told us that parental visits were indeed “suspended” for the time being, “until they get this virus under control.” The woman refused to give us her name.
But Keeley McEwan, head of the Oklahoma DHS communications office, told National File that “We have not suspended visitation across the board in any way.” She pointed to the agency’s daily guidance for case workers, which she noted is “fluid” and “changes day to day.”
“As of today we are highly encouraging continuing visitation” utilizing iphones and programs including Skype and FaceTime. “Whether a visitation is cancelled is on a case by case basis.”
She did not know whether any visitations have been recently held since the Coronavirus outbreak using Skype or FaceTime. Permanency worker Danelle Dillman did not respond to repeated requests for comment. McEwan did not confirm whether or not she spoke to Dillman or Dillman’s superviser following our conversation.
I have been reporting on the nationwide scourge of CPS removing children from parents’ homes for highly disputable reasons or no reason at all, which many parents feel is due to the for-profit nature of the government’s child removal industry.
I reported for The Epoch Times:
“Parents blame legislation signed by Bill Clinton for the rash of Child Protective Services (CPS) corruption and abuse claims cropping up all over the country.
On Oct. 1, President Donald Trump’s Family First Prevention Services Act—which he passed by attaching it to a February 2018 spending bill—goes into effect. Trump’s law seeks to reverse some of the damage caused by the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), which President Clinton signed in 1997.
Critics say Clinton’s law created financial incentives to remove children from their homes and place them in foster care, thus sparking a lucrative government-run business of child removal.
The ASFA created a program in which the federal government cuts checks to states, courtesy of Social Security, for every child adopted out of foster care. The ASFA also requires the termination of most parents’ custodial rights after a child has spent 15 out of the past 22 months in foster care. Then-First Lady Hillary Clinton spearheaded the push to pass the ASFA through Congress.
“After the passage of that legislation, foster adoptions increased 64% nationwide from 31,030 the year the law passed to 51,000 last year,” Hillary Clinton wrote in the introduction to the 2006 edition of her book, “It Takes a Village.”
ASFA was drafted in response to what was perceived as a failure in the previous legal framework for caring for foster children.
“The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) was enacted in 1997 in response to concerns that many children were remaining in foster care for long periods or experiencing multiple placements. This landmark legislation requires timely permanency planning for children and emphasizes that the child’s safety is the paramount concern,” states a Health and Human Services government training website.
‘Ready for Adoption’
Parents affected by the ASFA say it gives the government a blank check to traffic children.
“As soon as you hit the 15-month period, you automatically get your rights terminated,” Jeremy Powell of Oklahoma told The Epoch Times on Sept. 24, immediately after losing any chance of getting back his four children, all under the age of 10. “They [CPS] were ready for adoption day one. They didn’t help us in any way.”
“I have 30 days to appeal,” said Powell, a former Chili’s cook who entered the CPS system when the cleanliness of his house declined, due to a health episode at work that led to his firing. Powell said his manager, who is an illegal immigrant, chose to fire him rather than file an official report that might have led to the manager’s deportation.
“I looked at Trump’s law about returning kids to their families, compared to Bill Clinton’s law. Trump’s law is on our side,” Powell said.
“The law should be stretched out for people in poverty because they only give you three months. … Even if you make it by the 90-day mark, they still ignore because you’re too poor to carry on. The jurors, the lawyers, everything. There has to be an extension of time for poor people to catch up,” Powell said.
“One of our kids has already been through six different fosters. They say they care about the children. They’re torturing them! As long as CPS can get a child’s parents to the 15-month line, they get a kickback for the kid,” Powell said. “It’s like the kids are cattle.”
“One of my reports said because I have a problem with the church, my kids shouldn’t be returned. So I have no First Amendment rights. I don’t know why I’m still in America, because I have to pay these taxes and I don’t have any family or any rights,” Powell said.
A National Issue
Powell’s story is similar to traumas suffered by parents all over the United States.
“I have at least 200 cases on file with evidence from people all over the nation,” Audra Terry of Texas told The Epoch Times, referring to whistleblowers who sent their stories to Terry through her RicoCPS.com database, which put out an open call for CPS abuse cases. “There are 10 people alleging sexual abuse.”
The RicoCPS website demands “solid evidence” be presented. Its goal is to “demand a federal RICO investigation to investigate every CPS agency nationwide for the purpose of transparency and justice.”
Terry is planning to give her information to Texas state senator Bob Hall, who is leading a push to reform CPS, and to Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael, at an upcoming event.
“The incentive money is the bonus check that goes to the state. They have different classifications for it. It is strictly a bonus check. It is really hard to track,” parental rights advocate Connie Reguli told The Epoch Times, referring to the checks that the federal government sends to states for each foster care adoption. Reguli practices family law in Tennessee and is the founder of the Family Forward Project.
“The Adoption and Safe Families Act originally established incentive payments equal to $4,000 for each foster child whose adoption was finalized over a certain base level and $6,000 for each special needs adoption above the base level,” according to a 2004 Congressional Research Service report.
In fiscal year 2016, the federal government paid 47 states a total of $55.2 million in adoption incentive payments under the ASFA, according to congressional budget records. As of April 2018, the federal government had paid states a total of $613.9 million in ASFA incentive money.
Foster parents who adopt their foster children are also entitled to checks, courtesy of the ASFA.
Perjury
The parents and their advocates see these financial incentives as distorting the entire system.
“They have social workers in place whose main objective is to commit perjury in the courtroom, to create a rationale for why to take the children and get paid. It’s almost like perjury is part of their job description,” Andrea Packwood, president of California Family Advocacy, told The Epoch Times, noting social workers’ proclivity to coach children about what to say in cases.
“If, for example, you have a neighbor who doesn’t like you or your politics, their allegations against you don’t even have to be substantiated. You could be the perfect parent, but if your garbageman doesn’t like you, that gets submitted as evidence,” Packwood said. “There’s a movement of people like Antifa who are using this for political motivations.”
In October 2016, lawyers for officials in California’s Orange County argued in a civil case that social workers whose lies resulted in the removal of children from their parents had the right to commit perjury in the case and were entitled to immunity. The U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected the argument.
Experts
Expert opinion has begun to validate the parents’ complaints that there’s something wrong with ASFA’s incentives.
DeLeith Gossett, a law professor at Texas Tech University, said in a 2018 Memphis Law Review article: “The act’s financial incentives have disrupted families permanently by the speedy termination of parental rights, without the accompanying move from foster care to adoptive homes. The programs that the Adoption and Safe Families Act govern thwart its very purpose as children continue to languish in foster care waiting for permanent adoptive homes, often until they age out of the system into negative life outcomes.”
Cassie Statuto Bevan helped draft the ASFA. She told the Chronicle of Social Change: “ASFA was blamed for leaving a lot of children as orphans, and that certainly wasn’t the intention of ASFA. There has been concern we moved to permanency, but didn’t pay attention to the parents’ needs.”
The ideology of the Clinton bureaucrats who worked on the law might explain its focus.
“What happens to children depends not only on what happens in the homes, but what happens in the outside world,” Mary Jo Bane, who served as the Clinton administration Department of Health and Human Services’ assistant secretary of children and families, said in a 1977 interview.
“We really don’t know how to raise children. If we want to talk about equality of opportunity for children, then the fact that children are raised in families means there’s no equality. It’s a dilemma. In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them.”
Calls for Reform
Thousands of parents are expected to attend a rally at the California state capitol in Sacramento on Oct. 4 calling for CPS reform, the same day the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families holds a meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, to discuss its response to the child sex trafficking crisis.
The Epoch Times recently uncovered multiple cases of alleged child sex abuse in the Contra Costa County foster care system in California. The State Department’s 2019 human trafficking report confirms that the foster care system is a breeding ground of human trafficking.
President Trump’s Family First Prevention Services Act fights back against the financial incentives that move children quickly to foster care, but parents are unsure whether Trump’s law will be enough to reverse the systemic damage.
With the Family First Prevention Services Act, states, territories, and tribes with an approved Title IV-E plan have the option to use these funds for prevention services that would allow ‘candidates for foster care’ to stay with parents or relatives. “States will be reimbursed for prevention services for up to 12 months,” according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
“The Family First Prevention Services Act also seeks to curtail the use of congregate or group care for children and instead places a new emphasis on family foster homes. With limited exceptions, the federal government will not reimburse states for children placed in group care settings for more than two weeks,” the National Council of State Legislatures states.
“Approved settings, known as qualified residential treatment programs, must use a trauma-informed treatment model and employ registered or licensed nursing staff and other licensed clinical staff. The child must be formally assessed within 30 days of placement to determine if his or her needs can be met by family members, in a family foster home or another approved setting.”

They are using the global pandemic ...

Last Updated on March 28, 2020
Democrats are not letting the Coronavirus crisis go to waste politically. They are using the global pandemic to provide moral cover for their “Vote By Mail” scheme, which they hope to implement nationally to replace in-person voting at polling places.
Democrats are holding up passage of the Senate Republican economic stimulus bill in their bid to get federal Vote By Mail funding.
I’m calling on Congress to include $2 billion in election funding in the stimulus package to expand #votebymail and #earlyvoting, so Americans across the country can access the ballot box in November. Our elections are at risk, and it’s on us to protect them. — Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons) March 23, 2020
Democrat Sens. Ron Wyden and Amy Klobuchar have introduced a national “Vote By Mail” bill that could result in all Americans, theoretically, voting in the mail in November. If the bill does not survive a potential Trump veto, Democrats are sure to continue agitating at the state level to get Vote By Mail laws before November. Oregon is currently an exclusively Vote By Mail state. While some Democrats and their supporters are calling this an “emergency” effort, the push dates back years, with Sen. Wyden proposing a national Vote By Mail bill back in 2010.
Election expert Bev Harris reported for the election integrity organization Black Box Voting: “Evolving voting methods have produced systems with significant holes in chain of custody which can call election legitimacy into question. Three voting methods which produce breaches in chain of custody are: vote-by-mail; electronic voting; and Internet voting. These methods make it difficult for the public to verify that: (a) all ballots cast were actually counted; (b) ballots counted were not altered; and (c) unauthorized votes were not added.”
Former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Democrats should exercise their negotiating power and “make it a condition for an economic rescue package,” in effect holding the economy hostage to get a partisan mechanism to make vote-counting more complicated in November. President Donald Trump is promising a massive package to stimulate the economy, but of course Democrats are looking to get their hooks into it to undermine Trump.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) commissioner Ellen Weintraub is explicitly tying the push to the hashtag #VirusFreeVoting. Democrats and their allied commentariat are laying it on thick.
🚨#VoteByMail offers the best path to #VirusFreeVoting. No one should have to risk their life – or the lives of their loved ones – to cast their vote. We can only avoid that risk this fall if the U.S. government tackles the problem –*now*. My statement: https://t.co/7UUrXTNToy pic.twitter.com/H7JBhrdCOy — Ellen L. Weintraub (@ellenlweintraub on threads) (@EllenLWeintraub) March 20, 2020
Vote by mail should be standard practice no matter what, but it is a moral imperative in a pandemic. Republicans will oppose it out of muscle memory, Congressional Democrats need to make it a condition for an economic rescue package. https://t.co/o0md7UkZbR — Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) March 20, 2020
Congress must provide states with the funds they need to protect the right to vote amid #COVID19, including an expansion of #VoteByMail. Call your Senator at 202-224-3121 and tell them to include elections funding in the economic stimulus package. Our democracy is worth it. pic.twitter.com/GNVL5o9829 — Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) March 20, 2020
Shouldn’t every state be working on vote-by-mail and other mechanisms to ensure fair and democratic elections in November, rather than passing such already unnecessary and now ridiculous legislation? The Republican Party in 2020 is so bankrupt in so many ways at so many levels… https://t.co/PEtpYxAeNf — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) March 20, 2020
We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. It shouldn't take a pandemic to force that change, But the urgency is now crystal clear: All states should allow no-excuse vote by mail. Starting right now. — Adam Schiff (@AdamSchiff) March 21, 2020
In 2019, The Council of Local Mandates in New Jersey struck down the state’s automatic Vote By Mail law as unconstitutional, meaning that voters have to specifically request an absentee ballot for every new election, and county clerks can’t be forced to automatically send them to all voters who requested them at any point in time. This might be an important case to remember during this year’s inevitable election-related lawfare. Stacey Abrams, who strained our Constitutional Republic to the limit with her post-Election Day vote-stealing tactics in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race, is a leading contender to be Joe Biden’s running mate.
Hillary Clinton is pushing to make “voting by mail the norm going forward.”
Clinton, who seems very interested in the 2020 presidential election despite not being a formal candidate at this time, is pushing the “vote by mail” concept in response to the worldwide Chinese Coronavirus outbreak.
Congress needs to act to make voting by mail the norm going forward, with the specifics outlined by election expert Marc Elias below to make it accessible for all. https://t.co/K2TlHIJx2d — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 18, 2020


nationalfile--2020-03-22--Whistleblowers Claim China’s Coronavirus Recovery ‘Fake,’ Several Silenced

Official reports deemed untrustworthy by residents and whistleblowers , naysayers arrested

Last Updated on March 22, 2020
According to an article posted in Yahoo, local residents and whistleblowers have signaled China’s reports of their stunning coronavirus recovery are not to be trusted.
China’s handling of the Covid-19 in its early days has been called into question as a lack of transparency and overwhelming censorship to keep the lid on the emergence of a SARS-like virus in Wuhan was revealed to a global audience.
The now-deceased doctor who alerted a WeChat group of medical professionals of patients with SARS-like symptoms, was reprimanded with the equivalent of a misdemeanor and a gag order after authorities intervened, claiming that the medical professional had been disseminating false rumors.
A Chinese inquiry has now exonerated the late Dr Wenliang Li.
A report from Caixan found that some companies appeared to be fudging reports and cooking books to give the illusion of business as usual.
The Week reported:
But civil servants tell Caixan that businesses are actually faking these numbers. Beijing had started checking Zhejiang businesses’ electricity consumption levels, so district officials ordered the companies to start leaving their lights and machinery on all day to drive the numbers up, one civil servant said. Businesses have reportedly falsified staff attendance logs as well — they “would rather waste a small amount of money on power than irritate local officials,” Caixan writes. In Wuhan, officials have tried to make it appear that recovery efforts are going smoothly. But when “central leaders” personally survey disinfecting regimens and food delivery, local officials “make a special effort” for them and them alone, one resident told Caixan. And in a video circulating on social media, residents can be seen shouting at visiting leaders from the apartments where they’re being quarantined — “Fake, it’s all fake.”
On February 20, Business Insider reported on 5 high-profile whistleblowers who had either been arrested, silenced, or vanished.
These dissident voices who have vented their frustrations at the Chinese government have had their views throttled.
A high-profile tycoon vanished, according to the Daily Mail, after calling President Xi “a clown” after the way the country had dealt with the coronavirus.
Now, China, in some instances, appears to be apportioning the blame to other countries following their reported recovery.

Last Updated on March 22, 2020
Five college students who returned from Spring Break despite social distancing guidelines, limiting groups to 10, reported tested positive for the coronavirus.
The University of Tampa students had celebrated the annual college event which several outlets covered as students from all over America defiantly ignored social distancing guidelines in order to party–despite posing a high risk for infection and spreading the deadly Covid-19.
The students are now recovering in self-isolation.
Florida, with a high population density of retired people, has recorded 13 coronavirus-related deaths and 830 cases.
According to NY Daily News, it is unclear whether the students lived on or off campus and how many people were with them throughout the entire proceedings.
In a statement, the school said: “We sincerely wish our students, and any others who may be affected, a full and rapid recovery.”
Florida has come under fire for refusing to close down the beaches, leaving the decision to local governments, in order to facilitate enforcement of social distancing to prevent the further spread of the deadly virus.
According to Breitbart, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had said “the party is over” as many of the state’s beaches and bars had closed down.
Many videos circulated social media showing keen Spring Break attendees undeterred by the coronavirus and willing to continue enjoying themselves in spite of health risks.
As of March 17, the school switched to online classes only, to prevent mass congregations.
According to the college website:


nationalfile--2020-03-22--VIDEO: Chinese Woman Forcibly Ejected from Halal Butcher

Last Updated on March 22, 2020
With many diverse scenes emerging from the UK, coupled with various accusations of racism thrown around as citizens react to the coronavirus pandemic, come several images dispelling media narratives.
Since the rise of the global Covid-19 crisis, the mainstream media has run pieces condemning the rise of racism in Western countries.
However, many of the accusations of racism have been wrongly appointed.
In a video captioned, “Further happy scenes from multicultural London. Chinese woman forcibly ejected from halal butcher shop,” the short clip shows the woman of Chinese origin being forcefully removed–and literally kicked out–from the store.
https://www.facebook.com/TraditionalBritain/videos/343936593229144/?t=1
Had the shopkeeper been of English descent, the story would’ve been national, if not, international, news.
Since the perpetrators are immune to accusations of racism, the wider media would not be so keen on publishing the story.
Many of those commenting on the post voiced similar sentiments–targeting the media’s double standards in applying their condemnations.
One commenter said: “Image the media explosion if the shop owners were white. The privileged racists.”
“Its OK, they’re not white–its not racist,” remarked another.
A third critiqued the current state of Britain, writing: “Who would’ve thought our country and our lives would have sunk to these depths?!”
At the moment, Britain appears to be struggling with containing the spread of the coronavirus after seemingly hesitating before taking action.
Some argue that Britain’s infection rates appear to be on course to rival Italy–but being two weeks behind.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also warned that similar lockdowns to those in Italy could be implemented in the UK.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
A man, who previously scooped up and handful then licked ice cream from a tub out of a supermarket freezer before putting it back on the shelf, has now filmed himself licking a toilet rim for social media clout as part of a new craze.
The man, who goes by “GAYSHAWNMENDES” on Twitter, films himself walking into a public restroom before boldly approaching a very clean looking toilet bowl and licking it in a tweet captioned: “RT to spread awareness for the Coronavirus :)”
It appears that the dirtiest part of the stunt was his foundation, which he accidentally licked up from the rim as he carried out his clout-chasing performance.
https://twitter.com/GAYSHAWNMENDES/status/1241192396282646529
Unsurprisingly, the stunt, despite garnering almost 4.5k likes, was ratioed with negative remarks dominating the comments section.
One commenter remarked: “Ain’t he the one who also licked ice cream? Man, these people will do anything for clout. Clout is a disease. LMFAO.”
“The way the toilet was clean before you licked it and then something appeared on the rim when you licked it and then you licked it right back up. Um sweetie I don’t think it’s the toilet that’s dirty…” said another.
“I thought it was a poop stain but since it appeared after he licked it i think its his foundation haha,” replied a third.
https://twitter.com/alicepog/status/1241692181922021377
A fourth wrote: “You’re the reason us gays have a bad reputation.”
Sadly, “GAYSHAWNMENDES'” antics were not the first toilet-licking-for-coronavirus-clout footage to circulate social media.
National File reported on a TikTok personality who licked an airplane toilet for the so-called “Coronavirus Challenge.”
National File reported:
In a tweet captioned, “Y’all participating in the new Corona Challenge? This is on a plane btw…” the TikTok user @avalouiise makes her short performance. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of commenters underneath the tweet expressed their disgust at the video–in spite of speculations as to whether the seat had been previously sanitized. One commenter said: “Whether sterilized it prior to licking or not – she’ll remain in the @DarwinAwards nominees list.
“GAYSHAWNMENDES” was reportedly visited by the police after his unpopular ice cream clip went viral on social media.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
A beautiful Shiba Inu money range that has been released in Japan has the internet talking about the tender tender.
One vastly popular meme which has enjoyed recrudescent fame has been ‘Doge.’
Originally propelled to meme superstardom in 2013, the intently glaring Shiba Inu became an instant hit, christened the deliberately misspelled ‘Doge.’
https://twitter.com/PonkichiM/status/1179328242135814145
Doge, in real life, is an elderly female Shiba Inu by the name Kabosu.
Around 2016, Doge’s e-fame began to wane; however, a few years later, Doge’s fame peaked again when the funny yellow dog assumed a no-holds-barred political nature–often portrayed in right-wing scenarios or with rightist narratives.
The immensely popular meme, which still commands a large internet subculture on social media, has probably contributed to the increasing popularity of the Shiba Inu breed.
The Shiba Inu is a notoriously difficult dog to train–willful, obstinate, independent; the Shiba Inu isn’t for the fainthearted.
But one thing is for sure: the Japanese pup is superlatively adorable, and its whimsical character makes for endless funny clips.
Asian blog Sora News 24 reported on cute artwork containing the lovable hound on fake banknotes:
Unlike the currency of many other countries, you won’t find a lot of politicians or members of past or present monarchies on Japan’s yen. Generally speaking, Japanese banknotes salute individuals who have played a significant role in Japan’s cultural, scientific, or economic spheres. But what if there were yen bills honoring contributions to another field that’s highly respected in Japanese society: cuteness? That was the idea behind the adorable 500 and 1,000-yen bill Shiba Inu concept designs from artist Ponkichi, and since winning the Internet’s heart with the last fall, he’s now created a new dog-design with an 800-yen Shiba bill.
The article has been posted on several pages and groups on social media–a testament to the internet’s admiration for the brushwood dog.
Sora News 24 continues:
The 800-yen design shows what looks to be a parent and child lovingly looking at each other before turning to gaze together at the majestic slopes of Mt. Fuji, with what appears to be a stylized rising sun with a pseudo-watermark image of yet another Shiba pup inside it. Since it’s not legal tender, the 800-yen Shiba bill isn’t being issued by the bank of Japan. Online store FurBaby Space Factory is offering it on a zippered wallet in which you can keep actual yen, however, or whatever cards and currency you use in your part of the world.
A wide range of products containing the canine’s artwork from key chains to wallets are available to Shibaholics.

nationalfile--2020-03-23--REPORT: School Sends Email Ordering Parents To ‘Counter Stigma and Racism’ Amidst Coronavirus

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Exclusive reporting from National File shows that a document created by the National Association of School Psychologists titled “Countering COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Stigma and Racism – Tips for Parents and Caregivers” was sent out to parents of children enrolled in Waubesa Elementary School in McFarland, Wisconsin.
“Concerns over COVID-19 can make children and families anxious and may also lead to placing blame on others who are perceived to be associated with the outbreak,” the email begins, adding, “it is important to inform children in a developmentally appropriate manner that the disease is linked to a geographic location and not to a race or nationality.”
“It is important that parents and caregivers help children identify harmful language and behavior and encourage children to stop it,” the document continues.
The document drives home the point that parents must virtue signal for intersectionality amidst a global pandemic, demanding that “adults must model acceptance and compassion in their words and behavior.”
The document then suggest no less than twelve virtue-signalling steps that parents can take to model racially-sensitive behavior for their children, before asking parents to identify with emotionally aggrieved minorites.
“It is important to be aware of and honest about our own children’s behavior and stop behaviors that perpetuate inaccurate perceptions, racism, bias, and harm,” the email states, before ordering parents, “Reinforce that such behavior (including speech) is not okay, and help your child identify the source of their feelings/behavior and why it is wrong. Teach them appropriate positive alternatives.”
A concerned father who has a child enrolled in the Mcfarland School District reached out to National File after receiving the email, and provided the following statement:
This virus DID originate in China, it is well known and was reported WIDELY in the news in January, therefore there is no innate harm in calling it a “Chinese Virus”. I have heard people call this xenophobia — are we now going to refer to things such as “Chinese Checkers” as xenophobic? OR even less savory terms such as “Chinese Water Torture” as xenophobic? It is what it is! The idea that kids are going to be “racist” against their Chinese peers over this is preposterous, and it feeds into the hysteria the mainstream media is propagating in order to divide society across every possible line! I love my neighbors, be they any Asian nationality. End of story!
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 originated in Hubei province near the city of Wuhan, China.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to using the term “Chinese virus” despite media allegations of racism, going so far as to cross out “Corona” Virus and replace it with “Chinese” Virus in his press notes last week.
The media and the Southern Poverty Law Center have been ridiculed for bemoaning social distancing measures intended to fight coronavirus, claiming they could lead to “white nationalism.”

Last Updated on March 30, 2020
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) went on a fiery tirade against Speaker Nancy’s Pelosi’s (D-CA) pork-laden stimulus proposal that demands “racial pay equity” and “airplane emissions standards.”
“Nancy Pelosi decided it was time to play politics. Decided it was time to throw a grenade into the whole process,” Cruz said.
“The demands she’s pushing, I ask you, do they have anything to do with the coronavirus epidemic?”
“What are they pushing for? Changing the emissions standards on airplanes. Mr. President, what the hell do the emissions standards on airplanes have to do with thousands of people dying and millions of people out of work in the coronavirus epidemic,” Cruz thundered from the podium.
Cruz urged Democrats to not treat the stimulus like a “partisan Christmas,” reminding viewers that Republicans have not done the same.
“You don’t talk about what I’d like to do, I’d like to abolish the IRS… but Mr. President I’m not standing here with an amendment saying as part of this emergency relief let’s abolish the IRS.”
“The Democrats are pushing wind and solar tax credits,” Cruz continued.
“Mr. President, what in the hell does a windmill have to do with this crisis, other than there’s some Democratic lobbyists getting fat and rich, and they’re willing to extort a crisis to advance their political agenda.”
Cruz also tore into Pelosi’s bill for demanding “corporate board diversity,” asking, “What in the hell does that have to do with this crisis?”
In his concluding remarks, Cruz said, “I call upon both sides, don’t play games with us. This crisis isn’t gonna end tomorrow, it’s not gonna end the next day, it’ll last for a considerable time. It’s gonna require adults to step up and lead.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Boris Johnson announced that the UK is going into lockdown to stop the spread of the coronavirus, shutting most shops and banning social gatherings.
Speaking to the nation, the Prime Minister thanked everyone who had been following the announced social distancing measures, but that the time had come to put the country into lockdown, as it was “vital” the spread of coronavirus be stopped. “From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction – you must stay at home,” the Prime Minister said.
Johnson announced that people would only be allowed to leave their houses for a small number of reasons, such as shopping for “basic necessities,” travelling to and from work (only if absolutely necessary), to exercise once a day, and for any medical need, including providing care for any “vulnerable person.”

In order to ensure the compliance with the lockdown order, the government will also: immediately close any shops selling “non-essential” goods, libraries, playgrounds and places of worship; stop all gatherings of more than two people in public, apart from people who live together; cancel all social events, including weddings and baptisms, but not funerals.
“No Prime Minister wants to enact measures like this,” Johnson said, but that the fight against coronavirus has the whole country “enlisted”:
I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and to their jobs. And that’s why we have produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business. And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to. But at present there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost… In this fight, we can be in no doubt that each and every one of us is directly enlisted. Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together to halt the spread of this disease. To protect our NHS and to save many many thousands of lives. And I know that as they have in the past so many times the people of this country will rise to that challenge and we will come through it stronger than ever. We will beat the coronavirus and we will beat it together. And therefore I urge you at this moment of national emergency to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives.

nationalfile--2020-03-23--VIDEO: ‘Coronavirus Challenge’ Man Licks Whole Shelf of Hygiene Products

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Another video of a man licking things he should not be, has circulated social media after a few disgusting videos, for the purpose of chasing clout, have surfaced, much to the horror of social media users.
This time a self-described “nasty moths [sic] f*****” films himself on a Snapchat video licking an entire row of hygiene products at an unnamed supermarket.
The horrifying video was introduced in a tweet captioned, “The #CoronaVirusChallenge has evolved. Now these absolute fools are targeting grocery stores. 5-6 years in prison should be enough to make other wannabe internet-celebrities think twice before endangering the health of the rest of us,” rekindling a discussion where tampering with supermarket products should be dealt with heavy punishments.
https://twitter.com/BasedPoland/status/1241899126406643713
Most of the comments to the short clips praised potential extreme measures in dealing with this kind of behavior–which has become almost epidemic within this pandemic.
“In North Korea he would be executed. That’s why sometimes everyone can see some good points in authoritarianism isn’t it?” remarked a Twitter user.
Another said: “If I seen some young punk doing this, I’d smash his head into the floor.”
“I hope this vile thing is arrested completely with the virus and having to isolate in a lonely single prison cell with some real nasty buggers waiting for the door to be unlocked,” a third chimed in.
The video resurrected last year’s food tampering craze which saw several young people post disturbing images on social media showing themselves licking or messing with packed foodstuffs–mostly ice cream–for the express purpose of gain clout, despite legal repercussions for their 15 seconds of fame.
Since then, two viral videos have done the rounds on social media showing clout-thirsty personalities lick toilets as part of the bizarre “Coronavirus Challenge.”
The gross trend has, in most cases, been met with condemnation for the unnecessary attention-starved stunts.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
A leading Beijing doctor has warned that people returning to China, after it was reported that the country had claimed to be recovering from the outbreak, could trigger a second outbreak after the country was effectively paralyzed at the start of the year.
According to The Daily Mail, one of China’s top coronavirus experts has warned that the country could experience round two of quarantines and shut downs after people began falling ill after coming into contact with people who returned from abroad.
A man in Guangzhou fell ill after coming into contact with a person who had recently returned from Turkey–which was the first recorded case caught from somebody returning to the country.
Speaking to People’s Daily, local health experts said: “Cases related to imported cases are the second-generation cases brought in from abroad. It means the close contacts of [the imported cases] have been transmitted and fallen ill.”
Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, said that she was very “very worried that imported cases could trigger another large-scale epidemic in our country.”
Speaking to China News, she said: “This requires us to continue to intensify our efforts and work tirelessly to prevent the coronavirus pneumonia epidemic from spreading in other cities.”
The worrying remarks come at a time where whistleblowers in China have been silenced, threatened, and have even vanished.
The late Dr Li Wenliang, who was one of the first medical professionals to notice the emergence of a SARS-like virus in a Wuhan patient, was gagged and reprimanded with a misdemeanor from police for talking about the presence of this new disease on a WeChat group.
A high profile tycoon has gone missing since he criticized China’s “clownish” approach at tackling the spread of Covid-19.
In an interview with People’s Daily, said: “The mission in Wuhan has not been accomplished, and there are still many critical patients. Furthermore, I think the current situation in our country is very tough.
“[I am] very worried that imported cases could trigger another large-scale epidemic in our country.
“Can we make every effort to guard our country and prevent another epidemic from happening? This is a tough challenge.”

Pelosi COVID-19 Stimulus Includes ‘Racial Pay Equity,’ Newspaper Bailouts, Mandated Early Voting, Corporate Board Diversity, Carbon Regulations

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Several sharp-eyed social media users who had the fortitude to browse through the massive bill found bizarre provisions, including writer Rachel Bovard.
“Pelosi’s #COVID19 bill is 1,119 pages and contains provisions for “conducting risk-limiting audits of results of elections” so yeah it’s really very focused on the crisis at hand,” Bovard said in a thread that compiled screenshots of various provisions in the bill.
https://twitter.com/rachelbovard/status/1242116258834845710
After proposing a bailout for the postal service, the Democratic bill includes sections about paid studies of “pay equity” between “racial and ethnic minorities” and their “white counterparts,” as well as a “comparison of pay between and women for similar roles and assignments.”
“Corporate board diversity” is another bizarre demand in the bill., which seeks to collect “Corporate board data, including total number of board members, gender, race, and ethnic identity of board members.”
Also, guys, let's maybe focus on restricting stock buybacks and executive compensation with taxpayer loans and save the woke-scolding for later? pic.twitter.com/6iv0TKbbwU — Rachel Bovard (@rachelbovard) March 23, 2020
Provisions for early voting and same-day voter registration, which have been partisan talking points for the Democratic Party for decades, are also included in the bill.

Several of the most ludicrous proposals are located near the end, including demands that airlines “provide passengers with information regarding greenhouse gas emissions resulting from each individual flight.”
“You know what families who can’t work and are struggling to make rent really care about? Being able to look up greenhouse gas emissions from the flights they can’t afford to book,” Bovard said.

Finally, the proposal includes retirement security for journalists and bailout for local newspapers, many which already charge readers a substantial monthly fee to read articles.

Democrats in the Senate have already refused to pass a coronavirus aid package that would provide cash relief to working families and small businesses.

VIDEO: Dem Dick Durbin Says ‘Take A Deep Breath’ on Stimulus Package, Proceeds to Promise to Block Bill

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
As the Senate continues to debate an emergency stimulus package that would give Americans a one time payment of between $1,200 and $3000, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) told his fellow senators that the stimulus will be passed today.
After missing its self imposed weekend deadline, the Senate has been deadlocked on Monday as Democrats refuse to vote for the once-bipartisan stimulus bill that would give direct stimulus to Americans, increase unemployment benefits, fund small businesses and large businesses, and provide funding to states.
“We’re going to get this done today. Take a deep breath. EVeryone’s emotional at this moment on both sides of the aisle. But we have a job to do and we’re going to get it done. I yield the floor.”
https://twitter.com/AdamBaldwin/status/1242135212135333889
Before making this statement, Durbin blasted Senate Republicans for partisanship regarding the spending bill, and urged them to change the legislation again.
Durbin also called for the senate to allow remote voting for senators, noting that five Republicans are already missing from the senate due to coronavirus. Four are in self quarantine, while Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has tested positive for coronavirus.
At the time of this article’s publication, Durbin spoke again, suggesting that Democrats want even more spending than the current bill offers.
Democrats are primarily opposed to funding in the bill that would allow large businesses to receive loans from the government to keep employees on payroll during the coronavirus pandemic.
National File reported:
As it stands, the current stimulus package would offer individuals a one time payment of $1,200, couples a one time payment of $2,400, and families of four a one time payment of $3,000. It is unclear if larger families would receive a larger payment, and it is also unclear how having a higher income may impact the payments. The package would also offer $350 billion to small businesses to keep employing workers through the crisis, would increase weekly unemployment benefits by $600 for up to four months, allocate $242 billion for public health, and $150 billion to aid states dealing with coronavirus and its economic fallout. A major point of contention is additional spending to help large corporations through the coronavirus pandemic. Initial reports suggested Democrats objected to the Republican-led $500 billion in loans to big businesses, up from the initial ask of $208 billion. Leadership is still debating a final number.
It is unclear if Durbin is correct, and the stimulus package will leave the senate today. It is also unclear if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would allow the bill to become law.


nationalfile--2020-03-23--VIDEO: PewDiePie Mocks Sweden For Open Borders Policies – ‘Mass Immigration Everyone’

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg poked fun at Sweden for open borders policies that have seen foreign immigrants become the dominant social minority in a YouTube video on Saturday.
In a short clip from his “LWIAY” series video, Kjellberg reacted to a meme that showcased the most studied language on the Duolingo app in various countries.
Upon seeing that Swedish is the most studied language in Sweden, PewDiePie threw up his hands and said, “Sweden learning Sweden, mass immigration everyone!”
“That’s right, I think they say it even,” Kjellberg said, laughing, while scrolling over the top comment on the subreddit, which said, “fun fact: the reason why swedish is the most learned language in sweden is because of immigrants who moved there taking to duolingo courses to learn swedish.”
Kjellberg, who has been repeatedly been falsely accused of racism and white supremacy in the media for obvious jokes and heated gamer moments, has occasionally voiced his opinion on various political and cultural topics on his YouTube channel.
The full video can be seen below.
Earlier in March, Kjellberg talked about the online conversation regarding “simps” and “cucks” who donate to “egirls.”
Via National File:
In his March 9 upload PewDiePie laid into men the internet has termed “simps”–to describe weak, usually sexually frustrated men who fritter away their money on e-girls they would never be able to date in real life–who dish out their cash on Twitch streamers. According to Dexerto, he made a specific reference to “simps” who donated to streamers Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys & BadBunny. PewDiePie dived into the internet phenomenon which has transcended political and cultural lines on social media. He said, “Remember a few months ago, there was this girl complaining about not getting a $5 donation,” in reference to men who enable the corollary phenomenon of so-called e-girls. PewDiePie continued: “She knows what she’s doing. She’s antagonizing the simps!”
Kjellberg also voiced his opinions on cultural appropriation and called atheists “cringe” in a video uploaded in December.


nationalfile--2020-03-23--BIDEN: Haunted By Son’s China Dealings; Donor Steered Missile Technology to China

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is propped up by donor Bernard Schwartz, whose donations to former President Bill Clinton’s political infrastructure in the 1990’s allowed Schwartz to sell his U.S. satellite technology to China to use on Chinese rockets.
Schwartz, chairman of BLS Investments, recently donated $100,000 to the pro-Biden super PAC Unite the Country. Schwartz donated between $500,000 to $999,999 to the now defunct Biden Foundation, which Biden oversaw during his perfunctory pre-presidential run public speaking period. Biden topped $15 million in income after 2016, according to a 2019 New York Times report. Schwartz was instrumental in pressuring Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to engineer the plot that led to Biden becoming the presumptive nominee instead of insurgent socialist Bernie Sanders.
Biden faces questions about his son Hunter’s partnership with a Chinese government-backed investment firm, which Hunter got involved with less than two weeks after a vice presidential state trip on which he introduced his dad Joe to the eventual Chinese CEO of the firm. That Hunter Biden-partnered investment firm invested in a Chinese nuclear energy company that presents a massive problem for Biden because the American DOJ charged it with espionage in 2016 for stealing secret American nuclear information. Amazing!
Schwartz’s China dealings should also come under scrutiny.
The Phyllis Schlafly Report wrote in 1998:
“In June 1994, the CEO of Loral Space and Communications, Bernard Schwartz, made a $100,000 contribution to the Democratic National Committee. He then joined a Ron Brown trip to China that led to a $250 million telecommunications deal for Loral’s satellites to be launched by Chinese rockets.
In October 1994, Clinton lifted the sanctions he had imposed on China for selling missile technology to Pakistan. In early 1995, Schwartz sent a letter to Clinton urging that responsibility for satellite-export licenses be shifted from the State Department to the Commerce Department. Meanwhile, both Schwartz and Johnny Chung made more huge donations, in excess of $100,000, to the Democratic Party.
On February 6, 1996, despite reports that China continued to export nuclear technology to Pakistan and missiles to Iran, and over the objections of our State and Defense Departments, Clinton signed waivers for four U.S. satellites to be launched by Chinese rockets. On the very same day, Wang Jun (a “Chinese arms dealer”) attended one of Clinton’s now-famous campaign coffees in the White House and spent some time in Ron Brown’s Commerce Department office. Wang Jun owns a huge stake in a Chinese enterprise that benefited from Clinton’s waivers, China International Trade and Investment Corporation.
On Feb. 15, 1996, the Chinese rocket launching a $200-million Loral satellite blew up. Without telling the U.S. Government, Loral scientists prepared a 200-page report advising China how to improve the guidance of its missiles and forwarded this helpful advice to China without Pentagon approval.
The rationale for allowing U.S. satellites to be launched by Chinese rockets is that the technology is safely locked up in a black box, and Americans monitor the launch to assure that it stays secured. But when the Loral rocket blew up, the parts were scattered. The Pentagon refused comment on the Drudge report that the Loral engineers who reviewed the recovered debris said that the encryption hardware was missing.
U.S. intelligence has reported that China has targeted 13 of its 18 CSS-4 long-range missiles against U.S. cities. The CIA says that China’s targeting was made more accurate by Loral’s unauthorized help. The Justice Department started a criminal investigation of Loral, and the State Department warned that Loral’s actions were “criminal, likely to be indicted, knowing and unlawful.”
In March 1996, despite the objections of Secretary of State Warren Christopher, the Defense Department and our intelligence agencies, Clinton personally transferred jurisdiction over satellite-export licensing from the State Department to his pal, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Meanwhile, Bernard Schwartz stepped up his contributions to the Democratic Party and became the largest single contributor in the 1996 election cycle. Clinton signed another waiver this year to allow Loral Space to export a satellite that is scheduled to be launched by the Chinese in November.
Congress is finally starting to realize that American national security is at stake. On May 20, the House voted 364 to 54 to ban the export of all satellites to China. And, by 417 to 4, the House passed a resolution warning Clinton not to enter into any new agreements with China involving space or missile technology during his forthcoming trip to Beijing. The resolution also rebuked Clinton by declaring that his decision to issue the waiver to Loral Space and Communications earlier this year was “not in the national interest of the United States,” and instructed the President to indefinitely suspend all U.S. satellite exports to China, including a pending Loral deal.
The fact that Clinton personally issued the waivers to allow shipments of U.S. technology that greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of Communist China’s missiles is grounds for impeachment, regardless of whether or not there was any quid pro quo for those decisions. U.S. space technology was just what China needs to make intercontinental ballistic missiles and point them more accurately at U.S. cities. And he did it despite the objections of the U.S. State Department, Defense Department, Justice Department, and intelligence agencies.
Because China shared U.S. technology and equipment with Pakistan, Clinton is also responsible for India starting the nuclear race in Asia. India has fought three wars with its neighbor, Pakistan, since the end of World War II and looks upon Pakistan’s new military capabilities as a direct threat.
Clinton’s policy decisions were, on their face, damaging and dangerous to U.S. national security. And the calendar provides an ominous frame of reference. When Clinton’s policy decisions that dramatically benefited China’s military capability and Loral’s profits, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign donations from the Chinese government and from Loral, are all placed on the calendar, the sequence shows a pattern of corruption that cannot be ignored. That’s the real campaign finance scandal.”

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
After Senate Democrats refused to vote for the Republican-led legislation over the weekend, citing concerns with loans to big businesses, more details on the possible stimulus package currently being debated have emerged.
As it stands, the current stimulus package would offer individuals a one time payment of $1,200, couples a one time payment of $2,400, and families of four a one time payment of $3,000. It is unclear if larger families would receive a larger payment, and it is also unclear how having a higher income may impact the payments.
The package would also offer $350 billion to small businesses to keep employing workers through the crisis, would increase weekly unemployment benefits by $600 for up to four months, allocate $242 billion for public health, and $150 billion to aid states dealing with coronavirus and its economic fallout.
A major point of contention is additional spending to help large corporations through the coronavirus pandemic. Initial reports suggested Democrats objected to the Republican-led $500 billion in loans to big businesses, up from the initial ask of $208 billion. Leadership is still debating a final number.
However, some say Democrats are withholding their votes until additional demands are met.
On Twitter, Fox News contributor Guy Benson wrote that Democrats are holding out for “Unprecedented collective bargaining power for unions,” “Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines,” and “Expansion of wind and solar tax credits.”
Benson claims his source tells him these demands “could prevent companies from participating in loan programs altogether – directly causing unnecessary layoffs.”
Source writes, “not only are these completely unrelated to the coronavirus epidemic, they could prevent companies from participating in the loan programs altogether—directly causing unnecessary layoffs.” — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) March 23, 2020
Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, despite missing the self imposed weekend deadline, suggested the Senate may have a successful vote this afternoon:
“I think there’s a good chance we’ll have an agreement. But we don’t need artificial deadlines. We will get this done. We will come in at noon and hopefully we will have an agreement by then,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who made the objection, said on the Senate floor. McConnell blasted Schumer’s move as reckless and warned the markets will now be open for three hours before they can get some certainty a stimulus bill will pass the Senate. A vote in the Senate is now expected at 1 p.m.
It still remains unclear whether the House, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will move the bill forward.
As the weekend concluded without a deal, and Monday morning came and went without a clear message from legislators, multiple versions of #NancyPelosi began trending on Twitter.
As of Monday afternoon, #PelosHatesAmericans, #NancyChokesWhilePeopleGoBroke, and #DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica were all trending on Twitter.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
The White House and the CDC are requesting access to smartphone locations from big-tech companies to monitor social distancing. Federal health officials could use this data as a means of syndromic surveillance.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA), “syndromic surveillance refers to methods relying on detection of individual and population health indicators that are discernible before confirmed diagnoses are made.”
The collection of data for the purpose of monitoring the spread of the coronavirus in response to this public heath emergency.
“In particular, prior to the laboratory confirmation of an infectious disease, ill persons may exhibit behavioral patterns, symptoms, signs, or laboratory findings that can be tracked through a variety of data sources. ”
The effort to monitor social distancing with data collection is reported by some sources to be anonymized. The government wouldn’t have specific individual information, and users will be required to opt-in to this agreement to be monitored.
“The White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are asking Facebook, Google and other tech giants to give them greater access to Americans’ smartphone location data in order to help them combat the spread of the coronavirus, according to four people at companies involved in the discussions who are not authorized to speak about them publicly,” reported by NBC News.
“Federal health officials say they could use anonymous, aggregated user data collected by the tech companies to map the spread of the virus — a practice known as “syndromic surveillance” — and prevent further infections. They could also use the data to see whether people were practicing “social distancing.”
As this is a push from the Federal Government to control the spread of a major heath emergency, big tech giants are challenged to break privacy rights for their users. Others worry that granting permissions to the White House for this purpose will allow further more violating invasions of privacy down the line.
Although all spokespeople have declined comment to the press, The White House and many federal health officials participated in a call with big tech companies Facebook, Google, Amazon, IBM, Apple Microsoft, and Cisco.

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
With the coronavirus pandemic raging on, most if not all non-essential surgeries, including those for transgender patients, are postponed.
“The waiting times are [extremely long] and nobody knows when things will get back to normal,” says an anonymous transgender patient.
There are transgender activists who claim reassignment surgeries to be “life-altering.” They often are quick to cite the “likelihood of being treated for a mood or anxiety disorder was reduced by 8% for each year since the last gender-specific surgery.”
Despite the reduction in “likelihood of being treated for mood or anxiety disorder,” the suicide rate remains the same for both pre and post operation transgendered individuals. This makes up for 46% of the transgendered community on average.
Since, medical facilities across the country are filling up with confirmed cases of coronavirus, hospital staff have been forced to go digital with the treatment of certain patients. Many doctors have been able to preform routine checks via telecommunications.
This method has proven successful for man transgendered patients who are post operation right now.
“It’s an odd atmosphere,” says an anonymous transgendered patient currently in recovery from some kind of reassignment related procedure. This patient was warned about the threat of coronavirus exposure during the impending recovery period at the hospital.
“The ward is half-empty. [The nurses] know there won’t be any other patients like me for a while, nor any other recipients of [non-urgent] surgery. They know coronavirus patients will be coming, but they’re not here yet.”

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
The coronavirus has hit people around the world hard–especially hard. Although elderly patients and those with pre-existing health conditions are most at risk from the deadly Covid-19, a new demographic has come out seeking financial assistance during the global pandemic.
Sex workers across the world are asking for all forms of help during a time where quarantines are enforced and social distancing is the order of the day.
Promiscuity has become increasingly frowned upon as people attempt to mitigate the spread of the virus.
Now, sex workers in every single continent–with the exception of Antarctica–have announced either suspension of services or requests for financial at a time were their client base has dried up.
Africa
Sex workers in Nigeria have been urged to suspend their employment until further notice to prevent the spread of Covid-19, while South African sex scenes have been paralyzed as customers realize that their is no sexual protection for such a viral infection.
One sex worker said: “We knew that this virus was getting closer and closer. Unlike HIV, we can’t prevent it simply by wearing protection. This one is scary because it is just like flu; one cough and we are all scared.”
Americas
Coronavirus fears are decimating the sex industry in the USA. Suspension of services, clients withholding business, and a moratorium on some porn shoots has led to a decline in the industry’s prowess amid the pandemic. Several articles detailing customer reluctance and its effects have been published across several outlets, as sex workers report ill mental health as potential punters prefer less contagious forms of alleviation.
Bolivian sex workers have protested a curfew which curtailed their business prospects as social distancing measures are implemented in several countries.
Asia
Bangladesh and India have had sex workers appealing for funds to tie over their incoming income shortfalls. The Bangladeshi government closed down a brothel, which received around 5,000 patrons a day, in exchange for food, a small stipend, and frozen rent.
In February, Chinese sex workers were forced to conceal their nationalities as clients expressed fears of catching the menacing bug.
Australasia
Kiwi sex workers are being urged to screen clients as brothels are closed down in New Zealand.
Australian sex workers in Perth report facing down the barrel of economic ruin as clients remain at home. Sex toy panic buying has increased as substitute goods replace traditional means of release, drying up the local industry.
Europe
Several countries throughout Europe report a precipitous drop in clients soliciting sex workers as quarantines and other forms of lockdowns come into effect. Brothels have shut down across the continent as a means to mitigate the spread of the virus–which has virtually disabled Spain and Italy.

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
A Texas professor who has previously argued in favor of lowering the age of consent and reducing punishments for pedophiles has fled women-led protests against his controversial work.
Thomas Hubbard, a Classics professor at The University of Texas in Austin, fled his home and was placed under police protection, according to Incendiary News.
Protesters flooded his driveway carrying a large banner with the message that read, ” “Professor Thomas Hubbard: Pedophile.”
The protesters chanted “Thomas Hubbard is a creep! Keep an eye out when you sleep!” and “When women and children are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!”
The incident prompted the academic to flee his home.
Hubbard, who has had work published by the controversial NAMBLA–North American Man Boy Love Association–, has faced accusations of pedophilia and misogyny for his inflammatory work.
Law Enforcement Today wrote:
Hubbard has written about pederasty, which was a “prominent social phenomenon in numerous ancient Greek cultures” where men and boys had “relationships.” In this case, sexual relationships. Hubbard has written that “contemporary American legislation premised on children’s incapacity to ‘consent’ to sexual relations stems from outmoded gender constructions and ideological preoccupations of the late Victorian and Progressive Era.”
Part of Hubbard’s argument involves the restrictive nature of the laws of consent–the fact that they prohibit the liberation of those boys’ sexualities.
According to Law Enforcement Today, another suggestion the classicist made was for fatherless boys to patch over their lack of a father by having male role models lay with them–in a pre-modern sense.
Law Enforcement Today continued:
In his writing, this bozo argues that Ancient Greece showed us that “where age discrepant relationships are commonplace and positively reinforced, they cause little or no long-term harm to the younger partner and often confer great benefit,” he writes. This was contained in a 22-page article Hubbard wrote for a journal called Thymos, entitled “Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks.”
Hubbard also led a class called “Mythology of Rape,” where he invited participants to share their experiences with sexual assault.
One student reportedly said:
“He also had us write a paper over lowering the age of consent and lowering the punishment for sexually assaulting a child under the age of 6 (apparently 6 and under don’t know assault is bad, they only think it is bad later on because they are told it is bad). We were also asked our sexual preferences in class and asked if we ever had a desire to be raped.”
Sadly, this isn’t the first time representatives of higher education have made similar pronouncements.
Last year, a San Diego College was reportedly teaching pedophilia as a sexual orientation.
Many other schools have begun to implement radical sexual lifestyles into their curricula–usually under the guise of promoting tolerance or understanding.

Last Updated on March 23, 2020
Interim Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler is under pressure to resign her appointed seat following revelations that she dumped stock immediately after receiving a Coronavirus impact briefing in late January for U.S. senators. California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein and North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr also find themselves ensnared in the insider trading scandal. Loeffler’s husband, CEO of the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, also dumped stock. Republican U.S. House candidate Mark Gonsalves has called for Loeffler to resign, while the Republican Georgia House speaker David Ralston said, “I’m absolutely worried about the down-ticket damage” to state legislative candidates caused by Loeffler’s scandal. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement co-directors harshly warned about insider trading and the need for “market integrity” as the senators face public-relations fallout.
“People are losing their jobs, their businesses, their retirements, and even their lives and Kelly Loeffler is profiting off their pain? I’m sickened just thinking about it,” Rep. Doug Collins said in a statement provided to National File. Collins, who was President Trump’s first choice for Loeffler’s seat before Republican Gov. Brian Kemp picked the finance oligarch’s wife, is challenging Loeffler in the 2020 Georgia Senate election in November. There are a number of candidates running, and the top two will make a January runoff if nobody gets to over 50 percent.
Though Loeffler claimed that third party advisers manage her stock portfolio and don’t have any direct communications with her, Loeffler slipped up in a Bloomberg interview and admitted, “We have an employee in our personal family office that intermediates between the advisers.”
Main Street Patriots has launched a petition to demand: “We Call On Kelly Loeffler To Resign Immediately.” (READ THE PETITION HERE).
The petition states:
“On January 24, 2020, Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler attended a senators only briefing by Trump Administration officials on the seriousness of the Cornavirus. Information was discussed that was not yet public knowledge.
Within a few hours of the private briefing, Sen. Loeffler and her husband began selling stock that would be negatively impacted by the Coronavirus. Between Jan. 24 and Feb. 14, Loeffler and her New York Stock Exchange CEO husband Jeffrey Sprecher, made a total of 29 stock transactions. They sold 15 stocks worth between $1,275,000 and $3,100,000 that have been reported to have lost a third of their value since Loeffler and her husband sold them. Sen. Loeffler purchased stock in teleworking software Citrix on February 14th that has gained value..
Loeffler did not do the prudent thing and put her stock/assets in a blind trust when she became Senator, but instead set up a structure where on the surface 3rd party advisers manage her stock purchases. Loeffler also admitted that an employee in the family office was the intermediary to the 3rd party advisers. We strongly believe Loeffler somehow relayed the information she learned in the private briefing to her advisers.
During the stock sell off by Loeffler and her husband Sprecher, Loeffler continued painting a rosy picture in regard to Coronavirus even though she knew how serious the crisis was.
On March 10th, Loeffler Tweeted this: “Concerned about #coronavirus?”Remember this: The consumer is strong, the economy is strong, & jobs are growing, which puts us in the best economic position to tackle #COVID19 & keep Americans safe.”
On March 11th, Loeffler’s husband NYSE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher sold 175,000 shares of Intercontinental Exchange – the company that owns the NYSE.
Sen. Loeffler may be guilty of violating the STOCK Act that prohibits insider trading. Members of Congress cannot trade with non-public information.
Senator Loeffler has put Georgia at risk for turning blue. She has put the Presidency, both Senate Seats, and the Gold Dome at risk of flipping blue this November.
Senator Loeffler has shown she does not have the moral compass that we as Republicans strive to have and expect from our public servants. Anyone that tries to profit off this pandemic should resign immediately. There is no room in the Republican Party for Pandemic Profiteers..
Therefore, we call on on Sen. Kelly Loeffler to resign immediately.”
Petition passage ends
#LockThemAllUp was trending on Twitter as news surfaced about the senators’ shockingly cynical manipulations.
As a journalist, I was instrumental in Georgia governor Brian Kemp’s victory over Stacey Abrams in the gubernatorial race when I busted Abrams’ vote-stealing tactics and shady factors favoring her including shenanigans in Fulton County where a massive number of duplicate ballots surfaced and non-citizens were trying to vote.
Kemp then betrayed the tea party and appointed establishment oligarch Loeffler, wife of the CEO of the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, to the open U.S. Senate seat over conservative Doug Collins, who is running for the Senate currently against Loeffler.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) intimated in an interview on CNBC this morning that she ...

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
During a televised virtual town hall on Fox News, President Donald Trump made clear that he expects for the country to be up and running again by Easter, April 12, after what he and Vice President Mike Pence consider a successful “15 Days to Slow the Spread” campaign.
The town hall, which included President Trump, Pence, Coronavirus Task Force Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, and Surgeon General Jerome Adams, featured questions from the media as well as recorded questions from the public, curated by Fox News.
In the town hall, President Trump made clear that he expects the country to open up soon, after social distancing and several quarantines have crippled the nation’s economy, with the Dow Jones alone seeing its worst losses in recent memory.
“I’d love to have it open by Easter,” said President Trump. “I’d love to have it open by Easter.”
The president continued, “I’ll tell you right now, I would love to have that. It’s such an important day for other reasons, but I’ll make it an important day for this too.”
“I would love to have the country opened up and just rearing to go by Easter,” added President Trump.

During his appearance on Fox News and during yesterday’s televised press conference, President Trump and Pence both noted the extreme success of the “15 Days to Slow the Spread initiative,” which saw millions of Americans working from home, as well as restaurants, bars, gyms, and other mainstays of American life close.
Still, stressing the importance of social distancing for the remainder of the 15 days, the Surgeon General noted that President Trump’s decisions are impacted by the concerns and data provided to him by the doctors surrounding him, and this may change depending on the course of the pandemic.
However, President Trump repeatedly stressed throughout the town hall that he wants Americans to be able to return to their normal lives as soon as possible.

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) intimated in an interview on CNBC this morning that she will shelve the House Democrats $2.1 trillion stimulus proposal – which was roundly criticized – and try to pass the Republican-authored bill in the Senate via the process of unanimous consent.
“Is there any chance that by the end of the day, I know that we have disparate bills, that we can just come together in unusual showing of non-partisanship? Because we know that there are probably about a hundred and fifty million people who watching and listening to you, and wanna know whether they’re gonna have a job on Friday,” the CNBC host asked Pelosi.
Pelosi seemed to misinterpret the question as a proclamation that 150 million people were actually watching the interview live, saying, “I’m glad you have such a large audience… I think there is real optimism that we could get something done in the next few hours.”
“We’ve been working together in terms of the policy issues there, great progress has been made,” Pelosi continued, later replying, “I think so. Yeah, I do” when asked if she thought the roughly $1.8 trillion Senate package could be passed on Tuesday.
The current Republican Senate proposal includes protection for workers and small businesses, as well as emergency relief checks of $1200 for individuals and $2400 for couples. It remains to be seen whether it will receive enough votes to pass the Senate.
The House Democrat bill included provisions for “racial pay equity,” corporate board diversity, election auditing, newspaper bailouts, airplane emissions standards, and other partisan wishlist items unrelated to the coronavirus pandemic.
Senator Ted Cruz gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor Monday in which he asked, “What in the hell do emissions standards on an airplane have to do with this crisis?”

VIDEO: Biden on Covid-19, ‘We Have Take Care of the Cure, That Will Make The Problem Worse No Matter What’

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
In yet another campaign gaffe, former vice president and Democratic Party frontrunner Joe Biden claimed that the cure for coronavirus will make the problem worse.
While in a televised appearance on The View, the former vice president fielded a question by Sara Haines about President Trump’s repeated statement that the cure for the coronavirus, which for the time being is voluntary quarantine and social distancing, may be worse than the disease.
“Are you at all concerned, as Trump said, that we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself,” asked the host.
Biden quickly responded, “We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse, no matter what. No matter what. We know what has to be done,” said Biden.
“We know you have to, you’re tired of hearing the phrase, you have the flatten that curve, where it’s going up like this, people getting, and the it comes down,” Biden continued. “We gotta flatten that curve.”
The latest campaign gaffe was mocked by conservatives on Twitter.
“Does this make any sense to you,” wrote Breitbart’s Brandon Darby, evoking a series of responses that mocked Biden for this gaffe as well as some of his most notorious from the 2020 presidential election.

Another Twitter user, Caleb Hull, noted that Biden, despite urging social distancing and good hygiene, repeatedly touched his face throughout the broadcast.
“During his interview on The View this morning, Joe Biden could not stop touching his face,” wrote Hull. “Even licking his fingers at time on live TV in the midst of a pandemic.”
Hull uploaded a video compilation of the times Biden touched his face throughout the interview.

nationalfile--2020-03-24--San Francisco BDSM Dungeon Remains Open During COVID-19 Scare

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
A San Francisco BDSM parlor called The Gates stays open to the public despite the Covid-19 health scare. Apparently taking the Corona scare under advisement, the home page for bondage and fantasy house brings you directly to a COVID-19 Update.
“Many of the providers that use our space want to continue seeing their clients, either during their normally scheduled office hours, or by special arrangement on days that they are not on our posted schedule.”
This “premier house of bondage and fantasy” which has been open since 1994 claims that during this global pandemic, “our mission remains unchanged.”
The bondage house continues to operate at a time when businesses and their employees all over the country are suffering from restrictions placed on what some in government call non-essential businesses.
Very much like the flu, the coronavirus is most commonly transmitted through respiratory droplets that contain the virus. While these droplets are too big to linger in the air, they can remain on any surface. According to new research compiled by National Institutes of Health, Princeton University and UCLA this, the virus can still live in the air for up to three hours, and contaminated droplets can live on surfaces for up to three days.
The owner and proprietor of the Gates SF, known as Mistress Sage, says that these are not problems for the BDSM Dungeon, and that they will be “expanding” bio-containment policies effective immediately.”
Mistress Sage claims to have taken on a vigorous sanitation regimen in order to keep her bondage dungeon operational, aiming to evade the spread of COVID-19 by: disinfecting all doorknobs, light switches, equipment and surfaces in session rooms; having guests wash their hands before and after sessions; halting the “wet body worship” or “spitting scenes”, suspending the use of non-machine washable gags, and asking symptomatic customers to remain at home.
Brothels and Sex Dungeons everywhere have been trying to find loopholes for social distancing by providing online services, or requesting donations to keep their sex workers financially stable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these efforts by the sex work industry, The Gates SF decided to leave their doors wide open.
Laws governing the BDSM industry are a bit “murky,” according to one aficionado who writes at Evilleeye.com. The mistresses over at The Gates offer many services that are still categorized as assault and battery including “whipping” and “various forms of torture.”
For many years the state of California has been easing up on their laws surrounding the transmission of communicable disease. Particularly in 2018 under SB 239 California updated its HIV transmission laws to decriminalize the act of knowingly spreading the to a healthy partner without their knowledge.
Although this law doesn’t apply to sex workers, The Gates is one particular establishment that wouldn’t attract legal ramifications as they outwardly advertise that all contracted sex workers do not preform any acts of penetration.
According to the most recent updates from the New York Times, the Bay Area, which is also home to the Gates, has the highest concentration of confirmed cases in California.
Due to the anonymity of patrons of The Gates, it is impossible to track if or how many COVID-19 transmissions occur in their BDSM dungeon. Since the COVID-19 virus can remain transmissible for days after contamination and the symptoms don’t develop from five – 14 days, sex workers could possibly be catching the virus and spreading it to their clients for up to two weeks before the call into work sick.

Last Updated on March 24, 2020
A man and wife, who were completely healthy and showed no signs of coronavirus, decided to take fish tank cleaner which contained chloroquine as one of many ingredients. The husband died and the wife was in critical condition.
The surviving widow blames, perhaps naturally, President Donald Trump, as he suggested hydroxychloroquine – a malaria drug and completely different compound than that used in fish tanks – as a possible coronavirus cure, citing medical literature and limited existing research.
Speaking to NBC News, the widow blamed President Trump, saying “We saw Trump on TV — every channel — & all of his buddies and that this was safe.”
She also claimed that she had the fish tank cleaner on hand because the couple used to own Koi fish.
President Trump never claimed that Americans should take the drug en masse, nor did he mention anything about fish tank cleaner being a viable treatment option for those with coronavirus. The couple also did not have coronavirus, and decided to ingest the fish tank cleaner as a preventative measure.
Quickly, the mainstream media, including NBC News, Axios, Buzzfeed, and many others attempted to use the man’s death and the woman’s critical condition against President Trump.
One news outlet, Axios, issued a correction notice and changed their article after severe blowback.
“We have deleted this tweet and corrected our story because it did not reflect the full nature of the self-medication done with an additive commonly used to clean fish tanks,” wrote Axios on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the actual hydroxychloroquine has, thus far, showed extreme promise in treating coronavirus.
The New York Post noted that one patient who was treated with the drug after mentioning it to his doctor was miraculously cured overnight:
After about an hour after taking the pills, Giardinieri said, it felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and, about two hours later, he had another episode where he couldn’t breathe. He says he was given Benadryl and some other drugs and that when he woke up around 4:45 a.m., it was “like nothing ever happened.” He’s since had no fever or pain and can breathe again. Giardinieri said doctors believe the episodes he experienced were not a reaction to the medicine but his body fighting off the virus.
The drug has also seen use in Europe, where it has had a 100 per cent success rate in treating coronavirus in some instances.
When President Trump first acknowledged the drug’s seeming efficacy in treating coronavirus, some members of the media complained the president was offering the world “baseless hope.”
If you have symptoms of coronavirus, do not self medicate with fish tank cleaner. Self quarantine immediately and contact a medical provider for further instruction.


nationalfile--2020-03-24--Pedophile Who Sexually Abused 9 Boys Murdered in Georgia Prison

A child molester who was serving a life sentence after he had sexually abused nine boys was brutally murdered during a fight.
Last Friday, Cesar Pastrana, 33, had served eight years out of his life sentence before he was killed during a fight at Hancock County Jail, Georgia.
Georgia Department of Corrections have signaled that they are treating the death as a homicide, but have not released how the inmate was killed, the name of his suspected killer, or whether it was in connection with his crime.
Pastrana was convicted of multiple counts of child sex abuse in 2012 after he was accused of abusing several minors at an event, including causing physical injuries to one boy.
Two of his nine known victims were relatives, according to Metro.
He was arrested in 2012 days after a weekend-long “lock-in” event sponsored by the city’s NorthStar Church, where he had volunteered.
Following the arrest, he was relieved of his duty at the Church, although he maintained his innocence.
The Church said in a statement: “He denied the allegation, but we immediately released him as a volunteer in our ministry and asked him to not come back to NorthStar.”
However, on February 10, “he pleaded guilty to 10 counts of child molestation, four counts of aggravated child molestation, and one count of aggravated sodomy,” according to AJC.
Before working at the Church, Pastrana managed to pass a background check–despite being fired from his previous employment as a teaching assistant at a school for inappropriate behavior towards a student.

Defiant man dramatically taken down by police for waving knife at public

Last Updated on March 25, 2020
A dramatic video, reportedly taken in Brazil, during the global coronavirus crisis which has led to several countries being in lock-down, shows a man being kicked violently from behind to subdue and arrest the defiant drunk man who was wielding a weapon.
A man in a high-visibility jacket attempts to placate the intoxicated man, who, from the footage, appears to disobey his attempts to calm down.
Then, a no-nonsense police officer comes in from behind to deliver an impressive kick to the inebriated armed man’s legs, sending him flying, neutralizing him for an easy detainment.
In a video wrongly captioned, “Lockdown means lockdown In Italy,” the viral clip amassed a large audience, registering over 1.1M views, 31.4k retweets, and 53.1k likes at the time of writing the article.

Later, the tweeter corrected the information with a tongue-in-cheek tweet, joking: “Apparently its Brazil one thing about it, is a good old full back tackle If you don’t get the ball only one place for the player up in the air (no free kick play on ref).”
Commenters found the no-nonsense approach refreshing, mockingly criticizing their domestic judicial systems.
One said: “In England we would need a trained negotiator, a social worker, a counsellor and a pizza plus 2 cans of coke, then spend 4 hours asking the person nicely to comply.”
However, according to Brazilian outlet Estadao, military police were attempting to negotiate with the sauced weapon-slinger before the seismic take down.
The incident reportedly took place to the north of Sao Paolo, where the drunk man was threatening passersby with a weapon on a road.
After hitting the ground hard, the suspect was given first aid at a nearby hospital.
He was later taken to the 12th Police District to be criminally processed.


nationalfile--2020-03-25--Trump Calls for Strong Borders and a Return of Manufacturing in Coronavirus Briefing

Last Updated on March 25, 2020
President Trump called for strong borders and a return of manufacturing to the American economy, as he briefed the media and the nation on the ongoing fight against the Chinese-born coronavirus.
The President also invoked the Defense Production Act and told the nation that a team of economists is developing a “sophisticated plan to reopen the economy as soon as the time is right.”
According to President Trump, he is hoping to have Americans – at least in some parts of the country – working again by Easter weekend so long as progress against the virus continues to accelerate.
“We should never be reliant on a foreign country for the means of our own survival,” said the President, highlighting the nation’s recently magnified dependence on Chinese manufacturing for virtually every aspect of American life.
“I think we’ve learned a lot. This crisis has underscored just how critical it is to have strong borders and a robust manufacturing sector.”
“For 3 years we’ve embarked on a great national project to secure our immigration system and bring back manufacturing jobs,” said Trump.
The President also highlighted America’s dire need for strong borders, as New York City’s “patient zero” carried the virus into the country from Iran, a nation formerly included in President Trump’s travel ban, before the ban was overturned by a left-wing activist judge.
“This experience shows how important borders are. Without borders, you don’t have a nation.”
The President then called for both parties to come together and ensure that America can once again be a truly independent nation.
“Our goal for the future must be to have American medicine for American patients, American supplies for American hospitals, and American equipment for our great American heroes. Now both parties must unite to ensure the United States is truly an independent nation in every sense of the word. Energy independence, something incredible that we have established, we are energy independent. Manufacturing independence enforced by strong, sovereign borders. America will never be a supplicant nation we will be a proud, prosperous, independent, and self-reliant nation. We will embrace commerce with all but we will be dependent on none. Above all, we know the best thing for our economy and the world right now is a very very powerful victory over the virus.”
The President then applauded the American people for the great and rapid coming together the nation has seen in recent weeks.
“Every day the American people are showing the unity and resolve that has always defined the character of our nation. In New York, citizens are using 3D printers to make hundreds of face shields. They’re making them by the hundreds. In Texas, businesses and churches are uniting to collect gloves and thermometers for hospitals. In the selfless actions of our amazing citizens, we’re seeing the enduring strength of our magnificent nation; a spirit that can never be broken, and a victorious future than can never be denied. It never will be denied.”
