NAMB declares war on Randy Adams

Randy Adams announced his candidacy for President of the Southern Baptist Convention back in January up against Al Mohler , president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the most powerful man in the SBC .
Adams is running on seven planks .
And since the time of his announcement , I have reported on him speaking to other issues , such as remote voting in the SBC .
In recent weeks Randy Adams published a more detailed analysis of the problems within the Southern Baptist Convention ’ s missions programs .
I had planned on waiting until part three was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ addition to my own investigation into church plants .
See this graph used by Randy Adams below : As you can see , there are a plethora of questions or concerns that arise from viewing this data .
The answer to these questions is likely very bad .
Church plants are down .
Church plant costs have risen astronomically .
The North American Mission Board , NAMB , is one of the parties overseeing these expenditures .
And from a business perspective , these numbers reflect poorly on NAMB .
In recent weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , possibly in response to the unfavorable metrics .
Randy Adams cordially calls out these problems advocating that the SBC should instead cooperate with the state and local conventions more .
A basic tenet of his solution is the direct correlation between missionaries and baptisms .
The more missionaries we send out , the more people will come to Christ .
This positive relationship makes a lot of sense as we are currently seeing fewer missionaries and church plants and fewer baptisms .
The shadiness , dare I say corruption , comes from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risen considerably .
Adams does not appear to launch any accusations of corruption , but what he advocates would effectively phase out NAMB in favor of utilizing the state and local conventions .
It ’ s the equivalent of the federal government returning power to the states .
How does NAMB respond to this criticisms ?
Part two of Adams ’ series was published on March 5th .
On March 9th , Randy Adams , who is Executive Director and Treasurer of the Northwest Baptist Convention ( NWBC ) , was informed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end their joint cooperation efforts and all funding would cease in September 2021 .
Furthermore , NAMB informed NWBC that they would plan on sending their own staff in the northwest for missions .
Essentially , NAMB announced it would plant churches in the northwest that will not cooperate with the state convention .
Randy Adams also made note that the NWBC was experiencing success with regards to the same metrics provided in the Great Commissions Report ( see above ) There are two ways to look at this .
Both are bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One , Kevin Ezell of the North American Mission Board is unhappy with the criticisms articulated by Randy Adams .
If this is the case , this is thin-skinned petty politics , defunding those who seek to improve the system .
It is always a bad sign when trusted institutions reject transparency .
Alternatively this could be a matter of what goes on behind closed doors in smoked filled rooms .
Randy Adams is running against Al Mohler for President of the SBC .
Al Mohler and Kevin Ezell are very well acquainted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while Randy Adams is the grassroots candidate .
This very well could be an establishment move to punish for trying to challenge Al Mohler .
Now it ’ s important to note that there is no evidence of Mohler ordering a “ code red ” to cut funding to NWBC , nor does there need to be for this to be a valid scenario since Kevin Ezell was a senior pastor to Mohler , so it is conceivable that he would act alone on this manner .
This could be Ezell ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decision is in poor taste done for undoubtedly unbiblical reasons .

Either way, his decision is in poor taste done for undoubtedly unbiblical reasons. The timing leaves little wiggle room for coincidence. I’ve been writing a lot about the elitism of Big Eva, yet this instance stands out for the pettiness of elitism is at the expense of the Great Commission.

As other media outlets blame Fox News for coronavirus, Tucker Carlson reminds them of what they said before

When Fox News host Tucker Carlson took to the air in late January warning that the Wuhan Coronavirus could be extremely dangerous and possibly even grow to become a pandemic , the response from just about every progressive mainstream media outlet was to scream about racism .
They claimed Fox News and conservatives were being xenophobic and that there was nothing to fear about the coronavirus .
Several even encouraged people to gather in defiance .
Today , the stories have shifted .
Instead of saying Fox News was being too alarmist , they ’ ve now taken up the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that President Trump should be censored when discussing the coronavirus , and that their virtue signaling of the past never happened .
Except it did .
If there ’ s one thing the information age allows us , it ’ s to call out hypocrites who pretend their past remarks never happened .
Mainstream media ’ s lamentations over racism and xenophobia before have been spun , but not forgotten .
Thank you , Tucker Carlson .

noqreport--2020-03-25--China’s propaganda campaign has gone viral

If you think that China isn ’ t pulling out all the stops to convince the world that it isn ’ t responsible for letting the Wuhan Virus loose and wrecking the entire world economy , then you better think again .
Not only have they co-opted the Western news media into pushing the line that pointing out COVID-19 ’ s point of origin is somehow racist and xenophobic—with willing dupes like The Atlantic ’ s Anne Applebaum even praising the ChiCom government as heroes for their response to the outbreak—they ’ ve also taken to social media to plant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came from here in the United States , and that the U.S. Army was responsible for spreading it .
At the forefront of that effort is Lijan Zhao , a mouthpiece for Xi Jinping and his band of thugs , who has been burning up the Twitterverse with all kinds of laughable claims to that effect .
He ’ s also been actively discouraging any association of the virus with China , by routinely making laughable claims such as this : Especially when that ’ s the stigma of your own government ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in creating a global pandemic that has threatened the lives and livelihood of billions of people .
So naturally , I had to chime in with a little reply of my own—one that stated a few of the facts Lijan claims to hold so dear : And boy , did the floodgates open after that .
Within moments , dozens of replies starting pouring in , and kept on coming all through the night .
Hell , half of the mentions I got on Twitter today were because of that post—all of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Care to guess what that was ?
Hard as it may be to believe , but “ hmy_lib ” with the bunny avatar has only been on Twitter since February and has a whopping 33 followers .
Could it be that the bunny is really a Chinese bot programmed to parrot the government ’ s propaganda efforts ?
Well , if he is , he ’ s got lots of company .
Give “ lxy ” some credit , at least her avatar actually looks like a human being .
Only 18 followers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game away , though .
Then there ’ s…this guy , I guess ?
It ’ s hard to tell .
Really like the Boring !
touch at the end .
Very Trumpian .
But only 8 followers since 2012 ?
Color me skeptical .
And so on and on and on it went… Until it got quite inexplicable .
I guess Tay-Tay ’ s latest woke album must really be a disappointment if she ’ s shilling for the Chinese Politburo .
Seriously folks , you all really do need to calm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exercise in Twitter trolling , though , there is a darker lesson to be learned here .
To wit , if the Chinese propaganda machine is kicking into high gear going after a Twitter nobody like me , imagine the lengths to which they ’ re going in order to influence the big media players .

3/6 Chinese Spox: WHO believes that we should avoid calling #COVID19 “Chinese virus”. “This is the time for facts, not fear. This is the time for science, not rumours. This is the time for solidarity, not stigma.” — Lijian Zhao 赵立坚 (@zlj517) March 24, 2020
Especially when that’s the stigma of your own government’s incompetence, dishonesty and downright malfeasance in creating a global pandemic that has threatened the lives and livelihood of billions of people. So naturally, I had to chime in with a little reply of my own—one that stated a few of the facts Lijan claims to hold so dear:
It originated in China. It was covered up by the Chinese government. It was allowed to spread to the world by the Chinese government. The Chinese government is responsible. It is the Chinese Virus. — Hammerjack (@MarcGiller) March 24, 2020
And boy, did the floodgates open after that. Within moments, dozens of replies starting pouring in, and kept on coming all through the night. Hell, half of the mentions I got on Twitter today were because of that post—all of them some variation on the same theme.
Care to guess what that was?
This is just an excuse for the U.S. government to deal with the virus, and you need to denounce the U.S. government, and it's their dereliction of duty that led to the crisis! — hmy_lib (@HmyLib) March 24, 2020
Hard as it may be to believe, but “hmy_lib” with the bunny avatar has only been on Twitter since February and has a whopping 33 followers. Could it be that the bunny is really a Chinese bot programmed to parrot the government’s propaganda efforts? Well, if he is, he’s got lots of company.
The US military brought the virus into China during the wuhan military games. Dare the US government release the health report of 5 sick US military athletes during the games? — lxy (@lxy1919) March 24, 2020
Give “lxy” some credit, at least her avatar actually looks like a human being. Only 18 followers since August 2019 kind of gives the game away, though.
Then there’s…this guy, I guess? It’s hard to tell.
You have got lost where the story comes from, just repeat it thousands of times each day. Boring! — JC (@Jean_Casati) March 24, 2020
Really like the Boring! touch at the end. Very Trumpian. But only 8 followers since 2012? Color me skeptical.
And so on and on and on it went…

Look at the data of US, it grows very very fast these days. That means the virus spreaded in US long long ago, but it has not been tested. — faelanxu (@xfr0818) March 25, 2020
Until it got quite inexplicable.

I guess Tay-Tay’s latest woke album must really be a disappointment if she’s shilling for the Chinese Politburo. Seriously folks, you all really do need to calm down.
Aside from being an amusing exercise in Twitter trolling, though, there is a darker lesson to be learned here.

noqreport--2020-03-25--The ChiComVirus: Bringing out the worst of the authoritarian left

Global crises tend to either bring out the best in people or the worst , depending on their proclivities during normal times .
The political right tends to favor individual rights and liberty , hence the term pro-liberty right .
The political left tends to favor collective ‘ rights ’ and control , hence the term authoritarian left .
For now , we ’ ll set aside the usual point that the political left falsely labeling themselves as being liberal is one of their biggest lies in order to focus on the larger picture as well as some new lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ChiComVirus pandemic .
Why we call it the ChiComVirus At present , the authoritarian left in the states and the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party are speaking in one voice , trying to blame this on someone else when it should be clear that the bureaucratic nature of big government is at fault here .
National Review detailed the missteps and outright lies promulgated by the CCP at the outbreak of this disease .
Suffice it to say , while governments based on economic freedom are not perfect , the top down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of socialism with Chinese characteristics had them hide the problem instead of taking steps to contain the outbreak .
Whether this was deliberate or accidental doesn ’ t really matter right now .
Had this taken place in the West , the whistleblower would have been praised instead of imprisoned and the current steps being taken would have been put in place , containing the problem .
Instead , we had a bloated government trying to protect itself while endangering the people .
They didn ’ t take action until it was too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures .
There is a reason the CCP and the authoritarian left are so exercised over this issue .
They want to deflect the blame from their cherished ideology to have it settle elsewhere .
That is why we call it the ChiComVirus as they are doing on The Liberty Daily .
It places the blame directly on the cause of the crisis and no , communism isn ’ t a race .
The left ’ s quandary of worshiping control while Trump is in charge Over on Blue Collar Logic , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation makes a very important point about our current situation given that it places the left in an untenable quandary .
Their secular religion of authoritarianism has them worship the false god of government while they have to deal with President Trump as the head of that government .
They have always looked to the government as the solution to every problem and the means to control others .
So while they desperately want the government to have more control over everyone , that control would end up in the hands of president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have emphasized state level control over the past few years and especially now with this crisis , pushing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo as a de facto opposition leader and potential Democratic party nominee .
Never let a serious crisis go to waste This is epitomized by the coronavirus bailout bill that could just be the beginning of our problems .
An editorial in USA Today was blatant on the issue : Democrats , please don ’ t waste the coronavirus crisis .
Hold out for what Americans need .
In addition to this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bill Is ‘ Tremendous Opportunity to Restructure Things to Fit Our Vision ’ .
But they are going to experience a backlash come November .
Then of course , there are all the localities that are using this crisis as an excuse to deprive the people of their unalienable human rights while thousands of inmates released are released from jail : • Denver gun shop owner files lawsuit against the city to change ‘ non-essential ’ status of his store • So it begins : The Governor of New Jersey has shut down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Violating Law By Refusing To Process Carry Permits • If government can curb our rights to fight a virus , then why not to fight gun violence ?
If we can fight a war against an enemy we can ’ t see or touch , we certainly could use draconian measures to fight the gun violence in our neighborhoods as well .
• Colorado gun sales have spiked in the past week amid coronavirus fears Leave it to the left to still lie about Trump This may seem to be old news , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things up another notch .
It ’ s not just the repetition of the story blaming President Trump for a couple in Arizona ingesting fish tank cleaner instead of talking about how Over 65 Doctors , Medical Professionals And Scientists Call For Government To Use Hydroxychloroquine To Fight Coronavirus .
They are coming up with fake headlines : • Trump to New York : You ’ ve Been Mean to Me , Drop Dead Crisis such the ChiComVirus tend to emphasize certain personality traits , bringing out the best in some and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unfortunate that we may see this going from bad to worse with Bernie Sanders staying in the race in hopes of taking advantage of the weakness of former Vice President Joe Biden .
Hopefully everyone is seeing the authoritarian left for what they truly are and leave the party and reject their socialist national agenda .
The deadly virus of collectivism is far worse than any disease .

The left’s quandary of worshiping control while Trump is in charge
Over on Blue Collar Logic, a recent posting and video noted that this situation makes a very important point about our current situation given that it places the left in an untenable quandary. Their secular religion of authoritarianism has them worship the false god of government while they have to deal with President Trump as the head of that government.
They have always looked to the government as the solution to every problem and the means to control others. So while they desperately want the government to have more control over everyone, that control would end up in the hands of president Trump.
Perhaps this explains why they have emphasized state level control over the past few years and especially now with this crisis, pushing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo as a de facto opposition leader and potential Democratic party nominee.
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
Never let a serious crisis go to waste
This is epitomized by the coronavirus bailout bill that could just be the beginning of our problems. An editorial in USA Today was blatant on the issue: Democrats, please don’t waste the coronavirus crisis. Hold out for what Americans need. In addition to this a Democratic representative told colleagues the coronavirus bill Is ‘Tremendous Opportunity to Restructure Things to Fit Our Vision’. But they are going to experience a backlash come November.
Then of course, there are all the localities that are using this crisis as an excuse to deprive the people of their unalienable human rights while thousands of inmates released are released from jail:
Leave it to the left to still lie about Trump
This may seem to be old news, but the national socialist media is taking things up another notch. It’s not just the repetition of the story blaming President Trump for a couple in Arizona ingesting fish tank cleaner instead of talking about how Over 65 Doctors, Medical Professionals And Scientists Call For Government To Use Hydroxychloroquine To Fight Coronavirus. They are coming up with fake headlines:
Crisis such the ChiComVirus tend to emphasize certain personality traits, bringing out the best in some and the bad in others. It’s unfortunate that we may see this going from bad to worse with Bernie Sanders staying in the race in hopes of taking advantage of the weakness of former Vice President Joe Biden.
Hopefully everyone is seeing the authoritarian left for what they truly are and leave the party and reject their socialist national agenda. The deadly virus of collectivism is far worse than any disease.

noqreport--2020-03-25--We must begin the recovery from the gigantic coronavirus bailout bill

In times of great need , we often make decisions for the benefit of today that drastically harm us in the future .
We do this knowing the pain will come , but we consider it a worthwhile trade off in the moment .
The more I learn about the coronavirus bailout bill that ’ s going to be sent to the President ’ s desk and signed later today , the more I realize the pain that it will alleviate is too small compared to the pain it will cause down the road .
We can debate all day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appropriate .
I leaned towards it being necessary , but as the details of the bill come out I ’ m lurching quickly away from it .
This is not the economic stimulus that we need , one that would pay itself off through improved productivity even in the long run .
But that debate is done .
It ’ s happening .
Now is the time to plan for how we ’ re going to recover from it and whatever other monstrosities are cooked up in the near future .
There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exacerbates .
The first is the obvious one : Two trillion dollars is a ton of money .
Lest we forget , there was a government shutdown that transpired because of less than seven billion dollars in wall funding .
This bill is 294 times bigger than that .
It ’ s more money than there are physical dollars in circulation worldwide .
If we started writing $ 20,000,000 checks every day from the moment the Declaration of Independence was signed until today , it still wouldn ’ t cover this expenditure .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ unlike anything we ’ ve seen in history .
The second great risk is almost as obvious , at least to the freedom-loving right .
This bill inserts government oversight where there was none before .
It puts bureaucrats in the financial records of every business , large and small , that accepts money .
Most of them that do truly need these loans to stay afloat and continue paying workers , but they will be regretting it in the future when government starts telling them how they can handle their employees and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s an authoritarian trap , one that is another step towards the private sector of business being controlled by government .
The last real threat from this is one that I do not believe many Americans recognize , at least not those who make up the workforce of this country .
Dependency on government is addictive .
The “ free ” money we get for no reason other than being somehow victimized by the coronavirus will breed lost productivity .
People will be paid to stay home .
They will be , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” by not working .
It ’ s an illusion , of course .
Hard work and earning a living are rewarding in more ways than just a paycheck .
There is a real threat that government dependence will supersede self-reliance in many Americans .
Sadly , it ’ s not only addictive .
It ’ s contagious .
When Sally sees her brother Bob doing well without working , she may start questioning why she is working to support her family while Bob plays Call of Duty .
He may even question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the situation .
She may start questioning that herself .
Today , Americans want to work .
We want to contribute to society while building up our personal and familial security .
But that mentality , one that is such a crucial component of America ’ s success as a nation , is threatened by this and future bailouts .
The more government gives out for nothing , the more likely it is people will grow accustomed to it and even like it .
One of the biggest reasons we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Conservative Movement is because we ’ re seeing the risks of a populace that grows accustomed to government dependency and of businesses in which bureaucratic oversight becomes normalized .
We must prepare to reverse this course and get Americans back to work instead of standing around in toilet paper lines with government checks in our back pockets .
The coronavirus and everything associated with it is bad news .
But even in something so negative , there ’ s a silver lining .
America has an opportunity for a fiscally conservative revival , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so desperately needed , but also within the population of citizens ourselves .
As we push forward with the movement and prepare to launch it as an educational and informational foundation , it ’ s necessary for us to have focus .
The panic and responses to the coronavirus give us clarity on how to proceed .
We must remind Americans who may fall victim to government dependency that there ’ s a better way .
The coronavirus bailout bill is done .
Arguing over its merits is futile .
But we must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bill , the crisis , and the panic are going to cause .
If we wait for the dust to settle , dust may be all we have left .

In times of great need, we often make decisions for the benefit of today that drastically harm us in the future. We do this knowing the pain will come, but we consider it a worthwhile trade off in the moment. The more I learn about the coronavirus bailout bill that’s going to be sent to the President’s desk and signed later today, the more I realize the pain that it will alleviate is too small compared to the pain it will cause down the road.
We can debate all day about whether or not the bill is appropriate. I leaned towards it being necessary, but as the details of the bill come out I’m lurching quickly away from it. This is not the economic stimulus that we need, one that would pay itself off through improved productivity even in the long run. But that debate is done. It’s happening. Now is the time to plan for how we’re going to recover from it and whatever other monstrosities are cooked up in the near future.
There are three great risks this bill creates and/or exacerbates. The first is the obvious one: Two trillion dollars is a ton of money. Lest we forget, there was a government shutdown that transpired because of less than seven billion dollars in wall funding. This bill is 294 times bigger than that. It’s more money than there are physical dollars in circulation worldwide. If we started writing $20,000,000 checks every day from the moment the Declaration of Independence was signed until today, it still wouldn’t cover this expenditure. Yes, this is a gargantuan bill unlike anything we’ve seen in history.
The second great risk is almost as obvious, at least to the freedom-loving right. This bill inserts government oversight where there was none before. It puts bureaucrats in the financial records of every business, large and small, that accepts money. Most of them that do truly need these loans to stay afloat and continue paying workers, but they will be regretting it in the future when government starts telling them how they can handle their employees and where to invest their funds. It’s an authoritarian trap, one that is another step towards the private sector of business being controlled by government.
The last real threat from this is one that I do not believe many Americans recognize, at least not those who make up the workforce of this country. Dependency on government is addictive. The “free” money we get for no reason other than being somehow victimized by the coronavirus will breed lost productivity. People will be paid to stay home. They will be, in many ways, “better off” by not working. It’s an illusion, of course. Hard work and earning a living are rewarding in more ways than just a paycheck. There is a real threat that government dependence will supersede self-reliance in many Americans.
Sadly, it’s not only addictive. It’s contagious. When Sally sees her brother Bob doing well without working, she may start questioning why she is working to support her family while Bob plays Call of Duty. He may even question why she’s not taking advantage of the situation. She may start questioning that herself.
Today, Americans want to work. We want to contribute to society while building up our personal and familial security. But that mentality, one that is such a crucial component of America’s success as a nation, is threatened by this and future bailouts. The more government gives out for nothing, the more likely it is people will grow accustomed to it and even like it.
One of the biggest reasons we’re now rushing forward to build the American Conservative Movement is because we’re seeing the risks of a populace that grows accustomed to government dependency and of businesses in which bureaucratic oversight becomes normalized. We must prepare to reverse this course and get Americans back to work instead of standing around in toilet paper lines with government checks in our back pockets.

The coronavirus and everything associated with it is bad news. But even in something so negative, there’s a silver lining. America has an opportunity for a fiscally conservative revival, not only in government where it is so desperately needed, but also within the population of citizens ourselves. As we push forward with the movement and prepare to launch it as an educational and informational foundation, it’s necessary for us to have focus. The panic and responses to the coronavirus give us clarity on how to proceed. We must remind Americans who may fall victim to government dependency that there’s a better way.
The coronavirus bailout bill is done. Arguing over its merits is futile. But we must get moving on reversing the damage that the bill, the crisis, and the panic are going to cause. If we wait for the dust to settle, dust may be all we have left.

noqreport--2020-03-26--How Nancy Pelosi torpedoed Joe Biden

How Nancy Pelosi torpedoed Joe Biden

Over the weekend , the Senate worked at a fevered pace to put together a bi-partisan economic rescue package .
According to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , the Senate had five working groups cooperating across party lines targeting the common goals of helping both the workers and the companies impacted by the forced economic shut down due to the spread of the Coronavirus .
Then , without warning , on Sunday evening Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi inserted herself into the mix and blew the whole thing up .
Pelosi and cohort Chuck Schumer ( Senate Minority Leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cooperation and instructed every single Democratic Senator to vote against allowing their bipartisan work product from coming to vote .
This led to the obvious results : A furious GOP and a terrified market .
Even with the Federal Reserve swooping in try to save the day , the Dow dropped over 500 points , or another 3 % .
Pelosi and Schumer grabbed economic defeat right out of the jaws of victory .
Why ?
Far left politics , that ’ s why .
Pelosi just happened to have her own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and unleashed it on the public midday Monday .
And oh , what a bill it was .
It contained all kinds of far-left goodies that were totally unrelated to the current crisis .
According to Townhall , the Pelosi bonanza included the following demands : Which leads to how this actually hurts former Vice President Joe Biden and helps President Trump .
Since before Trump was even elected , the left has been describing him as a tyrant .
Here ’ s what the Washington Post was saying as far back as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no better time for a tyrant to make a power grab than during a crisis .
A tyrant never lets a good crisis go to waste .
Trump has resisted the power grab .
Although Trump had invoked the War Powers Act , until today and despite calls from the left to do so , he has resisted its use , instead allowing the governors of each state to be responsible for their own needs while the federal government played their role of support .
That ’ s not what a tyrant does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump had the opportunity but did not go for the big power grab as we ’ ve been told he would for 4+ years .
A tyrant ( pronounce : tie-rant ) is a person who rules with absolute power .
In our government , a system of checks and balances , theoretically there is no one party or person with absolute power .
But in a time of crisis , there can be .
What would a tyrant do ?
The tyrant would wield power for personal or political gain at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And that person clearly was not President Trump .
It was Nancy Pelosi .
Trump and Pelosi ’ s actions once and for all should dispel the talking point that Trump is a despot in waiting .
“ Everywhere you turn , Trump is tearing down the guard rails of democracy .
Tearing down the things that prevent the abuse of power… ” – Joe Biden , 6/11/2019 No , Joe .
It ’ s now clear for all to see .
The tyrant , the abuse of power , is on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Nancy Pelosi .
But Pelosi hurt Biden in another way .
Of all the demands listed in the Pelosi bill , the one that has been ignored but actually stands out like a sore thumb to me is the bail out of the Postal Service .
Where in the world did that come from ?
As per the 2019 Postal Service Fiscal Report , the USPS is $ 11B in debt and the “ Controllable loss for the year was $ 3.4 billion , an increase of $ 1.5 billion compared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the year was $ 8.8 billion , an increase in net loss of $ 4.9 billion compared to 2018.
” What does this have to do with Joe Biden ?
Think of the USPS not as your friendly mail carrier .
Instead , think of the USPS as the “ Public Option.
” In healthcare terms , the Public Option is a government run insurance provider that would theoretically drive down the cost of coverage .
I know .
It sounds great .
But , according to Jacob Hacker , the Architect of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually Single Payer in plain sight .
Because it can offer products at below market price and operate at a structural loss , eventually it will drive for-profit providers out of the market .
The Public Option can then just wait for the right Administration or the right crisis to bail them out .
Biden has been pushing for the Public Option as part of his Obamacare expansion .
As the need for the bailout of the USPS shows , government-run entities become fatty , wasteful political tools .
One reason the USPS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its massive pension benefit liability .
That ’ s a political structural fiscal defect , or an “ uncontrollable cost ” that can not be fixed except for a federal bail-out .
That ’ s what Nancy Pelosi is doing .
Her bill bails out the Postal Service ’ s structural pension liability and takes the USPS off the hook for $ 11B .
But while doing so , she ’ s proven once and for all that Biden ’ s Public Option is just another fiscally irresponsible , terrible idea .
Join @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement to advance the cause of conservatism .
The coronavirus crisis has prompted many , even some conservatives , to promote authoritarianism .
It ’ s understandable to some extent now , but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life .

“Throughout history, when they appear, demagogues have been seen as existential threats to democracy. In The Federalist No. 1, Alexander Hamilton warned of leaders who begin ‘paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.’”
There is no better time for a tyrant to make a power grab than during a crisis. A tyrant never lets a good crisis go to waste. Trump has resisted the power grab.

No, Joe. It’s now clear for all to see. The tyrant, the abuse of power, is on your side of the aisle and it’s Nancy Pelosi.

noqreport--2020-04-16--World Health Organization silent about Guangzhou City’s blatant racism against Black people

People who appear to have African ancestry are being targeted in Guangzhou City , China , with unambiguously racist and xenophobic practices .
Black people in the city are not allowed in restaurants or bars and are being evicted by their landlords .
Sadly , they ’ re also not allowed in hotels , leaving them homeless .
Even a McDonald ’ s restaurant has been closed by the corporate office over these practices which have been handed down by the city ’ s communist government .
McDonald ’ s In China Bans Black People ; McDonald ’ s Apologizes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Visit Region A McDonald ’ s restaurant in Guangzhou , China — a city which contains one of the communist country ’ s largest African communities and is frequently visited by African traders — banned black people from entering the restaurant , an action which McDonald ’ s Corporation has since condemned and resulted in the temporary closure of the store .
Amid reports that local officials have ordered other stores to bar people of African origin , the U.S. consulate in the city has warned African-Americans against visiting the region .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began over the weekend amid reports that one of its restaurants in the city was specifically banning black people .
The group Black Livity China , which describes itself as “ documenting 360° of Black experiences both in China and in relation to China for the benefit of our global community , ” tweeted out a video featuring a notice presented at the restaurant which reads in part : “ We ’ ve been informed that from now on black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant.
” The World Health Organization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what they consider to be overreactions or xenophobic policies across the globe , has said nothing about Guangzhou City .
The fact that they have instantly rebuked nations , cities , and companies for anything the WHO considers to be racist or based on misinformation tells us they are either being muzzled by the Chinese Communist Party or they do not see anything wrong with the practice of forcing Black people out of their homes over ignorant policies .
President Trump ordered the White House to hold funding for the WHO until further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was too busy running cover for the Chinese Communist Party to concern itself with the health concerns posed by the coronavirus .
Many experts claim the spread of the pandemic was enabled by the WHO because of their reluctance to call for a quarantine of Wuhan when it was clear there was a problem .
This move by Guangzhou City , which was sanctioned at the highest levels of the CCP , is an attempt to convince their people and anyone else in the world ignorant enough to believe them that the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was imported from other countries and not a result of them pretending like things were going back to normal prematurely .
And again , the WHO is silent and therefore complicit .
The organization that condemned the U.S. as “ xenophobic ” for issuing a travel ban against China is conspicuously silent about Guangzhou City evicting Black people from their homes over coronavirus misinformation .
The WHO is a shameful CCP puppet .
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism .

It ’ s understandable to some extent now , but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life .

The controversy surrounding the Guangzhou McDonald’s began over the weekend amid reports that one of its restaurants in the city was specifically banning black people. The group Black Livity China, which describes itself as “documenting 360° of Black experiences both in China and in relation to China for the benefit of our global community,” tweeted out a video featuring a notice presented at the restaurant which reads in part: “We’ve been informed that from now on black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant.”
Again, for those who still doubt that Black people and particularly #AfricansinChina are being targeted we feel it is our duty to share this. A sign at a @McDonalds restaurant seems to make this perfectly clear pic.twitter.com/FaveKrdQHi — Black Livity China (@BlackLivityCN) April 11, 2020
The World Health Organization, which has been quick to condemn what they consider to be overreactions or xenophobic policies across the globe, has said nothing about Guangzhou City. The fact that they have instantly rebuked nations, cities, and companies for anything the WHO considers to be racist or based on misinformation tells us they are either being muzzled by the Chinese Communist Party or they do not see anything wrong with the practice of forcing Black people out of their homes over ignorant policies.
President Trump ordered the White House to hold funding for the WHO until further notice. The preeminent healthcare organization worldwide was too busy running cover for the Chinese Communist Party to concern itself with the health concerns posed by the coronavirus. Many experts claim the spread of the pandemic was enabled by the WHO because of their reluctance to call for a quarantine of Wuhan when it was clear there was a problem.
This move by Guangzhou City, which was sanctioned at the highest levels of the CCP, is an attempt to convince their people and anyone else in the world ignorant enough to believe them that the current “second wave” of coronavirus infections was imported from other countries and not a result of them pretending like things were going back to normal prematurely. And again, the WHO is silent and therefore complicit.
The organization that condemned the U.S. as “xenophobic” for issuing a travel ban against China is conspicuously silent about Guangzhou City evicting Black people from their homes over coronavirus misinformation. The WHO is a shameful CCP puppet.
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time.

noqreport--2020-04-17--It’s time to start asking the right coronavirus questions

In my last installments ( here and here ) , I focused on the issues surrounding the virology of the Wuhan Flu .
Ultimately , the more profound dilemma has to do with our response to it .
By now , we know that it is likely that this virus had its origins in the Level IV Biohazard Lab in Wuhan .
We know that the Chinese Communist Party lied to the world about the danger the virus posed and the extent of local infection .
We know that China permitted five million people to travel from Wuhan , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan down .
This spread the epidemic world-wide .
We know that the World “ Health ” Organization echoed Chinese propaganda that said the infection was contained and could not spread from person to person .
This led to a substantial delay in mitigation worldwide , and ultimately led to the new Great Depression .
And I ’ m not talking about how people feel .
We know that Doctors Fauci and Birx , echoed by other Quixotic Quislings of Quarantine , claim that the lockdown has successfully “ flattened the curve ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask how the Q3s know that they were successful .
The answer is simple .
They don ’ t .
This is a “ Scientific ” Wild-Assed Guess .
They claim to be scientists , so that accounts for the “ S ” in their SWAG technique .
The models they trumpeted prove the point .
As Dr. Fauci famously stated , “ All models are wrong .
Some models are useful.
” Fauci ’ s favored IMHE models initially said that we ’ d have between one and two and a half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that from the beginning , IMHE assumed mass social distancing and lockdowns .
Such a scary number led us to destroy twenty times that many lives by eliminating their jobs .
With each passing day , the model has been revised downward to sixty thousand , a number on par with the 2018 seasonal flu mortality ( CDC reports 61,000 for 2018 ) .
It is also just 2.4 % of the upper number at the beginning .
Any model that missed the mark by 97.6 % has not been useful and should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci and Birx maintain that the lockdown has been successful .
Really ?
A group from Stanford has reviewed what we know from current data , not made-up guesses .
If you are under age 65 and don ’ t have any bad underlying medical conditions , your risk of dying from Wuhan Flu even in the New York hotbed is the same as dying after driving your car for 414 miles .
Yup .
It approaches zero .
If we compare the US to Taiwan and South Korea , the picture becomes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15 , Taiwan had six – count ’ em – six total COVID19 deaths .
They did not lock down .
They kept working normally .
“ Maybe that ’ s because they ’ re an island and cut off travel.
” Maybe .
So let ’ s move to South Korea , where we know that they had a lot more cases .
The data show that South Korea , which also kept working without a stay at home order , has had 244 COVID19 deaths .
That ’ s 5.6 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has eighteen times as many deaths per million people as South Korea .
So much for the idea that putting twenty million people out of work was a good idea .
President Trump has been played for a fool… by fools .
What did South Korea , with its incredibly dense Seoul population do to prevent the spread of Wuhan Flu ?
They did basic epidemiology , something Drs Fauci and Birx supposedly understand .
People at high risk are isolated as much as they can .
That means the elderly and all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people as much as they can .
Sick people are tested , and positive results lead to quarantine and contact tracing .
This keeps sick people , who are more likely to spread the disease than stealth carriers , away from the public .
Assembling people in tight spaces such as schools has also been restricted .
Ordinary work has continued .
Note that all of these measures are designed to do two things .
First , they keep high risk people away from possible infection .
Second , they keep sick people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s it .
Since COVID19 infects a very small portion of the population at any moment , you must target your efforts around that tiny group .
Massive restrictions on people who are low risk can not help , and will most definitely hurt , as recent economic data make clear .
There are some things that the general public can do to reduce their risk of getting Wuhan Flu , and they ’ re the same ordinary things you do to avoid getting seasonal flu or a cold .
You don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close to someone who is sick .
You wash your hands and use hand sanitizer .
That ’ s pretty much all .
Masks are not useful .
Let me say that again .
Masks are not useful for the general public .
COVID19 health care workers use them because they are very close to people with active infections .
And they use N95 masks that are designed , if properly fitted , to filter out 95 % of all particles in the air .
Unless you are in a very unusual circumstance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t need one .
I spent 36 years wearing a surgical mask nearly all day .
It wasn ’ t to prevent me from getting sick .
It was to keep me from infecting the patient ’ s wound with the bacteria in my mouth .
All that mask wearing in public is worthless , unless you are already sick .
Then it reduces the chance of you infecting someone else .
Funny , that ’ s what it does in the operating room .
Of course , you shouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sick , anyway .
If you aren ’ t sick , your chance of getting something from someone else at Costco approaches zero as long as you aren ’ t constantly crowding them in the aisles .
So what do reasonable precautions look like , and how should we re-open the economy ?
First , we want to protect the most vulnerable .
The elderly and infirm need to stay away from anything resembling crowds ( like lines at the door of Costco ) unless there is no other option .
If they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make sense , because they are most susceptible to infection and complications .
By the way , gloves are a bad joke , because most people simply are not trained in their proper doffing and disposal .
Hand sanitizer is more effective for the untrained .
First responders and health care workers need adequate personal protective equipment .
They are in a high-exposure environment , so protection is meaningful .
They are also trained in its proper use .
The general public doesn ’ t need anything other than basic precautions that anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Don ’ t crowd or touch anyone who is ill. Wash your hands or use sanitizer when you think they are soiled in any way .
That ’ s it .
Full stop .
As long as basic steps are taken to keep ill persons out of crowded public spaces , we should stop worrying .
Yes , the occasional cluster of cases will pop up because there ’ s no way to fully contain a virus in the wild .
When that happens , track and trace will limit the spread .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ occasional healthy young person die from the virus .
An outlier like that will lead to cries for more lockdowns .
Those should be resisted , because , as we ’ ve shown , lockdowns are worse than useless .
The virus doesn ’ t obey “ stay at home ” orders because it ’ s in the wild .
Finally , when the inevitable bump in the number of cases comes , we must stand strong .
Because we do not yet have herd immunity , either from recovered illness or vaccination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunity reaches a level that is meaningful .
Lockdowns won ’ t change that .
It ’ s time to recognize what we can and , more importantly , can ’ t do .
We can track and trace .
We can ’ t stop the virus in the wild .
We can be near people without getting the virus , but in crowds , if no basic screening ( e.g .
temperature ) is done , that may include some risk .
But ordinary restaurants aren ’ t going to spread the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top of each other .
And it ’ s time to ask the proper question .
We shouldn ’ t ask what businesses are essential , because every business and every job is essential .
We should ask which businesses can operate without excess risk .
Grocery stores aren ’ t spreading disease , and they tend to be more packed than the PGA Superstore or Best Buy .
If people are crowding the Apple store , they can keep some outside with electronic invites when the place clears .
Wait… They do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ examine how tight their tables and bar stools are , but even that ’ s a stretch .
The only real concern is large crowds , such as athletic events , concerts , and church services .
And even those should be safe if basic screening is done .
If they want to use that famous “ excess of caution , ” then they may install UV-C lights that will sterilize all surfaces in the off hours .
But as long as servers are not ill and they wash their hands , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Omelet at my favorite diner .
We should open every business yesterday unless there is a specific , identifiable health risk in doing so .
Not one of those imaginary concerns , but a real , material risk .
Life has risks .
They can not be completely eliminated .
But the futile attempt to do so has created many new , larger problems .
All businesses and jobs are essential .
Politicians have been asking the wrong question .
They need to consider which businesses and jobs are manifestly unsafe .
Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason to stay closed for now .
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism .
The coronavirus crisis has prompted many , even some conservatives , to promote authoritarianism .
It ’ s understandable to some extent now , but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life .

Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.

There are some things that the general public can do to reduce their risk of getting Wuhan Flu, and they’re the same ordinary things you do to avoid getting seasonal flu or a cold.

Masks are not useful for the general public. COVID19 health care workers use them because they are very close to people with active infections.

Of course, you shouldn’t be out when you’re sick, anyway.

“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
The general public doesn’t need anything other than basic precautions that anyone should take to avoid a cold. Don’t crowd or touch anyone who is ill. Wash your hands or use sanitizer when you think they are soiled in any way. That’s it. Full stop.
