If you’ve read The City that Bleeds: Race, History, and the Death of Baltimore (and if you haven’t, get it here now!), you know the truth about Baltimore our elite have spent more than half a century trying to explain away as the fault of pernicious white people and their insidious redlining, systemic racism, and racial criminal justice system.
Now, somehow in a city completely dominated by black elected/appointed officials, the consequences of Coronavirus/China Virus/Wuhan Flu/Covid-19 pale in comparison to white racism/implicit bias/structural inequalities/residue of white supremacy.
Because in the eyes of elected black officials, nefarious white people and the implicit bias of white healthcare professionals is the true dilemma facing the black community as Coronavirus/China Virus/Wuhan Flu/Covid-19 rages across Maryland.
Lawmakers push for racial breakdown in Maryland’s public coronavirus data, seek to spot disparities early, by Talia Richman, Baltimore Sun, March 30, 2020 Every morning at 10 a.m., the Maryland health department publishes an update to its sobering data about the rapidly spreading coronavirus. The latest state data showed the number of cases among people ages 10 to 19 more than doubled over three days. It documented how the number of cases among women in Maryland surpassed those among men. And it registered cases as they’ve sprung up in county after county after county. But absent so far is a breakdown of cases by race. Some lawmakers say publishing this information while the pandemic is ongoing is vital so that state officials can monitor any disparities as they arise. “We’ve always known that, historically, there’s been health disparities in communities of color. It’s important to get ahead of it,” said state Del. Nick Mosby, a Baltimore Democrat who is running for City Council president. Mosby started using social media Sunday to push the state to begin publicly tracking cases by race, in addition to age, gender and geographic location. Doctors across the country are making similar calls as some researchers caution black people in America could be hit especially hard by the public health crisis. Baltimore’s population is more than 60% black. Asked during a Monday news conference whether the state could report cases by race, deputy state health secretary Fran Phillips said, “I’m not aware that we have looked into that.” A spokesman for Republican Gov.

Ayanna Pressley said comprehensive demographic data on people who are tested or treated for the virus that causes COVID-19 is not available. “This lack of information will exacerbate existing health disparities and result in the loss of lives in vulnerable communities,” the Massachusetts lawmakers wrote Friday. Healthy equity advocates say detailed data is an important tool in the fight against the virus. U.S. cities with large black and brown populations, such as Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and New Orleans, have emerged as hot spots of the coronavirus outbreak. “We need a tangible picture of what is happening, so we can plan better and not, after this is over, look back and see gross disparities in treatment and in outcomes,” said Gail Christopher, executive director of the National Collaborative for Health Equity.

Yes, the man running for City Council President of Baltimore believes and insinuates white doctors/healthcare officials are purposefully withholding treatment to blacks, violating their Hippocratic oath in the process. In his mind, and probably the majority of blacks in Baltimore (especially those holding public office), white racism and white people are a bigger threat than the Coronavirus.
To repeat, if you’ve read The City that Bleeds: Race, History, and the Death of Baltimore (and if you haven’t, get it here now!), you know the truth about Baltimore our elite have spent more than half a century trying to explain away as the fault of pernicious white people and their insidious redlining, systemic racism, and racial criminal justice system. And now, the racial disparities within the healthcare industry.
Do you get what’s happening?
“Diversity is our strength,” we are constantly told.
The China Virus is the ultimate stress-test to this claim our elite have mandated we believe for decades, who in fact have made it the moral, if not fundamental, bedrock of our civilization.
If it turns out to be untrue, then we are indeed on the verge of revolutionary times.

vdare--2020-03-31--Michelle Malkin: Questions About State Department's 'China First' Shipment

A little less than two months ago , the U.S. State Department made a curious announcement that suggests President Trump 's `` America First '' administration put `` China First '' at a critical moment during the burgeoning Wuhan pandemic .
I asked the State Department about the controversy this week—and the vague and nonresponsive responses I received on background from a Foggy Bottom spokesperson raise more questions than they answer .
The Feb. 7 , 2020 press statement attributed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is headlined : `` The United States Announces Assistance to Combat the Novel Coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told , the State Department `` facilitated the transportation of nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to the Chinese people , including masks , gowns , gauze , respirators , and other vital materials .
These donations are a testament to the generosity of the American people . ''
Whoa , whoa , whoa .
Nearly 18 tons of critical medical supplies went to the Communist government whose country unleashed COVID-19 on the world , downplayed it , punished whistleblowers who warned about it and attacked critics worldwide as racist ?
Whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Which `` American people '' approved this plan ?
Was the aid solicited or unsolicited ?
I asked our government .
The answer : `` We have no additional details at this time . ''
The press statement elaborated further that `` the United States government is announcing it is prepared to spend up to $ 100 million in existing funds to assist China and other impacted countries ... to contain and combat the novel coronavirus .
This commitment—along with the hundreds of millions generously donated by the American private sector—demonstrates strong U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' How much of the `` up to $ 100 million '' has been spent to assist China instead of the American people since Feb. 7 , I asked our government .
By what means were the 18 tons of medical goods transported : Air or sea ?
If by sea , on what ships were the goods transported to China and when and where did they arrive ?
If by air , which carriers transported the goods and when and where did they arrive ?
I also asked whether any of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in February were sent back to the U.S. as part of White House adviser Jared Kushner 's `` Project Airbridge '' transfer of personal protective equipment last weekend from China to New York—including 130,000 N95 masks , 1.8 million face masks and gowns , more than 10.3 million gloves and more than 70,000 thermometers ?
Here 's the full answer I received from the State Department spokesperson : Odd .
Very odd .
Boeing 's huge shipment of 250,000 medical masks was reported on Jan. 29 , more than a week before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Was it `` characteristic generosity '' or self-serving corporate relations ?
The troubled aircraft company has been desperately seeking business after China 's de facto boycott the past couple of years and stands to benefit most from the China trade deal signed in January .
Also : Did the multinational company 's purported goodwill gesture deprive the American people of scarce PPE resources ?
Sure seems so .
LDS 's own press statement about its donations to China was also released Jan. 29 and made no mention of the State Department 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respirator masks , 870 protective goggles and more than 6,500 protective coveralls . ''
It appears LDS has its very own special relationship with `` Project Hope , '' a nongovernmental organization that works closely with the Chinese Ministry of Health .
The church chartered flights from Salt Lake City and Atlanta to Shanghai at the behest of its president , Dr. Russell Nelson , who had performed heart surgeries in China .
Photos of the LDS church 's PPE drop show LDS volunteers in Shanghai smiling in front of a massive wall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Feb. 4 .
Finally , the State Department 's red-flag mention that some of the planes used to deliver these resources to China brought back 800 Americans from Wuhan deserves more probing .
Was this entire `` charitable '' exercise—which sent abroad 18 tons of the very items Americans are now desperately scraping to manufacture out of paper towels , pillow fabric and bandanas—cover for some sort of COVID-pro-quo ?

A little less than two months ago, the U.S. State Department made a curious announcement that suggests President Trump's "America First" administration put "China First" at a critical moment during the burgeoning Wuhan pandemic.
I asked the State Department about the controversy this week—and the vague and nonresponsive responses I received on background from a Foggy Bottom spokesperson raise more questions than they answer.
The Feb. 7, 2020 press statement attributed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is headlined: "The United States Announces Assistance to Combat the Novel Coronavirus." That week, we are told, the State Department "facilitated the transportation of nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to the Chinese people, including masks, gowns, gauze, respirators, and other vital materials. These donations are a testament to the generosity of the American people."
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nearly 18 tons of critical medical supplies went to the Communist government whose country unleashed COVID-19 on the world, downplayed it, punished whistleblowers who warned about it and attacked critics worldwide as racist? Whose idea was this "generosity?" Which "American people" approved this plan? Was the aid solicited or unsolicited? I asked our government.
The answer: "We have no additional details at this time."
The press statement elaborated further that "the United States government is announcing it is prepared to spend up to $100 million in existing funds to assist China and other impacted countries... to contain and combat the novel coronavirus. This commitment—along with the hundreds of millions generously donated by the American private sector—demonstrates strong U.S. leadership in response to the outbreak."
How much of the "up to $100 million" has been spent to assist China instead of the American people since Feb. 7, I asked our government.
The answer: No reply.
By what means were the 18 tons of medical goods transported: Air or sea? If by sea, on what ships were the goods transported to China and when and where did they arrive? If by air, which carriers transported the goods and when and where did they arrive?
(I asked about shipping because U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao's family owns the New York-based multinational shipping behemoth, Foremost Group. The mega-fleet was built in China, subsidized with loans from the ChiComs' Export-Import bank and conducts nearly three-quarters of its freight business in China. Secretary Chao was designated an "international consultant" of the Wuhan government in 2009. Her sister, Angela Chao, is CEO of Foremost and organized a humanitarian shipment of masks, gloves and gowns from New York to Wuhan in partnership with the "Hubei Charity Foundation" a week after the State Department's press statement.)
I also asked whether any of the precious medical supply items shipped to China in February were sent back to the U.S. as part of White House adviser Jared Kushner's "Project Airbridge" transfer of personal protective equipment last weekend from China to New York—including 130,000 N95 masks, 1.8 million face masks and gowns, more than 10.3 million gloves and more than 70,000 thermometers?
Here's the full answer I received from the State Department spokesperson:
"In early February the American people demonstrated their characteristic generosity by donating 17.8 tons of medical supplies to help the Chinese people contain the impact and stem the spread of COVID-19 from Wuhan to other parts of China and the world. These donations were provided by Samaritan's Purse, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Intermountain Healthcare, and Boeing. The State Department facilitated the delivery of these medical supplies to Project HOPE in China on flights that ultimately brought home over 800 American citizens back from Wuhan at the outbreak of the pandemic."
Odd. Very odd. Boeing's huge shipment of 250,000 medical masks was reported on Jan. 29, more than a week before the State Department's announcement. Side note: Was it "characteristic generosity" or self-serving corporate relations? The troubled aircraft company has been desperately seeking business after China's de facto boycott the past couple of years and stands to benefit most from the China trade deal signed in January. Also: Did the multinational company's purported goodwill gesture deprive the American people of scarce PPE resources? Sure seems so.
LDS's own press statement about its donations to China was also released Jan. 29 and made no mention of the State Department's role in facilitating delivery of "220,000 respirator masks, 870 protective goggles and more than 6,500 protective coveralls." It appears LDS has its very own special relationship with "Project Hope," a nongovernmental organization that works closely with the Chinese Ministry of Health. The church chartered flights from Salt Lake City and Atlanta to Shanghai at the behest of its president, Dr. Russell Nelson, who had performed heart surgeries in China. Photos of the LDS church's PPE drop show LDS volunteers in Shanghai smiling in front of a massive wall of 3M boxes full of medical equipment on Feb. 4.
Finally, the State Department's red-flag mention that some of the planes used to deliver these resources to China brought back 800 Americans from Wuhan deserves more probing. Was this entire "charitable" exercise—which sent abroad 18 tons of the very items Americans are now desperately scraping to manufacture out of paper towels, pillow fabric and bandanas—cover for some sort of COVID-pro-quo?

California public school campuses are unlikely to reopen for the remainder of the academic school year in response to the coronavirus pandemic, state Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said Tuesday in a letter to school district officials.
“Due to the current safety concerns and needs for ongoing social distancing it currently appears that our students will not be able to return to school campuses before the end of the school year,” Thurmond wrote. “This is in no way to suggest that school is over for the year, but rather we should put all efforts into strengthening our delivery of education through distance learning.”
Earlier, Thurmond had resisted suggestions that there was no hope for returning to campus. His letter Tuesday represented a shift of direction.

Over the next few months, there could be a huge drop in the number of immigrants in the United States as a result of the pandemic. The effects on the economy have been rather profound, and millions of people are expected to lose their jobs. The one bright spot to all of this is that we are likely to see a drop in the number of immigrants in the labor force as well. Currently, H-1B visa holders are lobbying the White House so that they can stay in the United States, despite the economic downturn. [India’s Unemployed H-1B Workers Lobby White House to Stay in the U.S., by Neil Munro, Breitbart, March 29, 2020]
Under current administrative rules, an H-1B holder must leave the United States within 60 days after losing their job, unless they can find another means of employment in a similar field. When the economy is strong that is usually not much of a problem, but circumstances are different now since few technology companies in places like Silicon Valley are hiring. The lobbyists are asking for a 180 day grace period to find a new job.
The Trump Administration should just ignore their request and let the 60 days pass without taking any action. The vast majority of these H-1B holders will self-deport. That could also create a "chilling effect" upon other potential H-1B applicants who may now think twice before applying for admission into the United States under the program.
President Trump has implemented positive changes to our immigration system through the use of executive orders and administrative action, but this crisis presents him with a unique opportunity to fulfill his campaign promises on immigration. There will need to be major legislative action from Congress before he can permanently place America First. He needs to maximize his political leverage from this event.

vdare--2020-03-31--Russia Hoax, Impeachment Hoax Didn't Stop Trump, So NEW YORK TIMES Tries Anti Asian Hate-Crimes Hoax

Earlier , by James Fulford : The “ China Virus ” Came From China And Chinese People .
AND IT 'S OK TO SAY SO The New York Times published a story that claimed Chinese-Americans are the targets of hate attacks because President Trump gave an accurate name to SARS-CoV-2 , the pathogen that has now killed more than 1200 of my fellow city dwellers [ Spit On , Yelled At , Attacked : Chinese-Americans Fear for Their Safety , by Sabrina Tavernise and Richard A. Oppel Jr. , March 23 2020 ] .
Trump called it the “ Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on cue , the Times sallied forth with a sob story that didn ’ t identify the race of the man who attacked its principal victim .
Of course that probably means the attacker wasn ’ t white , but the larger point is this : the Mainstream Media is using the Chinese Virus to provoke hatred against whites in general and Trump in particular .
The “ news story ” opens with Yuanyuan Zhu , 26 .
She ’ s been here just five years and lives in Chinese-friendly San Francisco .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she claims .
“ He just looked like a normal person , ” she told the Times reporters , which invites the question of just how “ normal ” a person in the middle of an unhinged racial attack can look : He sounds more like a wild-eyed nut to me , but in any event can you imagine the New York Times ’ s refusing to identify his race if he were white ?
My own conclusion : A black man attacked Madame Zhu , and blacks are likely the perpetrators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s attack .
Readers never learn the race of any attacker in what we are led to believe is a coast-to-coast anti-Asian rampage .
That ’ s one of the giveaways to the race of a perpetrator , by the way , in today ’ s coded “ news ” stories .
If a crime story omits the race of the perp , it means he was black or occasionally Hispanic .
Conversely , when the perp is white , the story always says so up top , often in the headline .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows a black man attacking a slender , East Asian woman .
And here ’ s a photo that didn ’ t run with the Times story .
Video shows passenger defending Asian woman facing [ black ] racism on New York subway '' You 're Chinese , why did you bring corona to America ? ''
a [ black ] passenger asks a woman , prompting another [ white ] rider to step in Yet omitting race was just Part 1 of the Times anti-white hit job .
Part 2 blamed Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fury .
Thus did Tavernise and Oppel find the Voices to Put It All Together : The Zhu and Du cases are what New York Times wants you to believe is a trend : Of course , the New York Times is also rewriting history .
Muslims and others did not face a “ sudden spasm of hate ” after September 11 .
Lefty TV shows like Law & Order had to invent it .
Having produced the victims from Central Casting and the bogus trend , Tavernise and Oppel appealed to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ narrative with Big Numbers : What that line suggests—anti-Asian attacks have risen 50 percent—is a classic fallacy : post hoc ergo propter hoc ( after this , therefore because of this ) .
That “ 50 percent rise in the number of news articles ” means editors assigned or reporters looked for them .
It does not mean anti-Asian attacks have jumped 50 percent .
The New York Times ’ Leftist readers provided the dessert to this feast .
The editors permitted one pro-Trump voice , a Margo Channing , to provide a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virtue-signaling , torch-bearing mob..
They composed 99 percent of the 1,408 permitted commenters .
• [ F ] or the President of the United States to not know—or seem to care—that his calling it the “ Chinese Virus ” is inciting racist acts by others is irresponsible .
• Trump ’ s description of COVID-19 as the Chinese virus is having real-life results .
Innocent Asian-Americans are being treated horribly .
• Insisting on calling it “ Chinese virus ” … is incompetent and cowardly and encourage [ s ] racist behaviors .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ racist supporters was Trump ’ s primary purpose .
• This article lays bare the ignorant racism that has been given a green light under the ignorant man named Trump .
To its credit , Rolling Stone , hardly a place to find thinkers on the right , didn ’ t exercise iron-fisted control of the narrative .
As of March 31 , its editors permitted more than 90 percent of comments on an anti-white rant to be hostile : 25 of 26 ( previously 33 out of 34 ) , plus one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lead to a Spike in White Nationalism , by E.J .
Dickson , March 18 , 2020 ] .
Just for the record , the same day the New York Times piece appeared , Trump tweeted his support for Asian Americans and said “ the spreading of the virus is NOT their fault.
” All that said , the question is : why , aside from pathological Trump Derangement , did the New York Times offered a narrative for which it offered little if any evidence .
It ’ s a product of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pan-ethnic movement that arose 40-odd years ago to oppose the “ Model Minority ” East Asians , and , more importantly , to peddle its own twist to the emerging anti-white narrative .

Earlier, by James Fulford: The “China Virus” Came From China And Chinese People. AND IT'S OK TO SAY SO
The New York Times published a story that claimed Chinese-Americans are the targets of hate attacks because President Trump gave an accurate name to SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen that has now killed more than 1200 of my fellow city dwellers [Spit On, Yelled At, Attacked: Chinese-Americans Fear for Their Safety, by Sabrina Tavernise and Richard A. Oppel Jr., March 23 2020]. Trump called it the “Chinese Virus.” Hysteria ensued, and, on cue, the Times sallied forth with a sob story that didn’t identify the race of the man who attacked its principal victim. Of course that probably means the attacker wasn’t white, but the larger point is this: the Mainstream Media is using the Chinese Virus to provoke hatred against whites in general and Trump in particular.
The “news story” opens with Yuanyuan Zhu, 26. She’s been here just five years and lives in Chinese-friendly San Francisco. A pedestrian cursed and spit on her, she claims.
“He just looked like a normal person,” she told the Times reporters, which invites the question of just how “normal” a person in the middle of an unhinged racial attack can look:
[H]e was yelling an expletive about China. Then a bus passed, she recalled, and he screamed after it, “run them over.” She tried to keep her distance, but when the light changed, she was stuck waiting with him at the crosswalk. She could feel him staring at her. And then, suddenly, she felt it: his saliva hitting her face and her favorite sweater.”
He sounds more like a wild-eyed nut to me, but in any event can you imagine the New York Times’s refusing to identify his race if he were white?
I didn’t think so.
My own conclusion: A black man attacked Madame Zhu, and blacks are likely the perpetrators in every other of the story’s attack. Readers never learn the race of any attacker in what we are led to believe is a coast-to-coast anti-Asian rampage.
That’s one of the giveaways to the race of a perpetrator, by the way, in today’s coded “news” stories. If a crime story omits the race of the perp, it means he was black or occasionally Hispanic. Conversely, when the perp is white, the story always says so up top, often in the headline.
The one attack we have on video shows a black man attacking a slender, East Asian woman.
And here’s a photo that didn’t run with the Times story.
Video shows passenger defending Asian woman facing [black] racism on New York subway
"You're Chinese, why did you bring corona to America?" a [black] passenger asks a woman, prompting another [white] rider to step in
By Wilson Wong, NBC, March 17, 2020
Yet omitting race was just Part 1 of the Times anti-white hit job. Part 2 blamed Trump for whipping white Americans into an Anti-Asian fury.
Thus did Tavernise and Oppel find the Voices to Put It All Together:
“If they keep using these terms, the kids are going to pick it up,” Tony Du, an epidemiologist in Howard County, Md., who fears for his son, Larry. “They are going to call my 8-year-old son a Chinese virus. It’s serious.” Mr. Du said he posted on Facebook that “this is the darkest day in my 20-plus years of life in the United States,” referring to Mr. Trump’s doubling down on use of the term.
The Zhu and Du cases are what New York Times wants you to believe is a trend:
[N]early two dozen Asian-Americans across the country said they were afraid—to go grocery shopping, to travel alone on subways or buses, to let their children go outside. Many described being yelled at in public—a sudden spasm of hate that is reminiscent of the kind faced by American Muslims and other Arabs and South Asians after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But unlike in 2001, when President George W. Bush urged tolerance of American Muslims, this time President Trump is using language that Asian-Americans say is inciting racist attacks.
Of course, the New York Times is also rewriting history. Muslims and others did not face a “sudden spasm of hate” after September 11. Lefty TV shows like Law & Order had to invent it.
Having produced the victims from Central Casting and the bogus trend, Tavernise and Oppel appealed to the usual academic-left-wing activist to back up the narrative with Big Numbers:
San Francisco State University found a 50 percent rise in the number of news articles related to the coronavirus and anti-Asian discrimination between Feb. 9 and March 7. The lead researcher, Russell Jeung, a professor of Asian-American studies, said the figures represented “just the tip of the iceberg” because only the most egregious cases would be likely to be reported by the media.[Link in original, goes to a Google Doc called ACCOUNTS OF COVID-19 DISCRIMINATION 2/9-3/7/20: A report for the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council: A3PCON]
What that line suggests—anti-Asian attacks have risen 50 percent—is a classic fallacy: post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this). That “50 percent rise in the number of news articles” means editors assigned or reporters looked for them. It does not mean anti-Asian attacks have jumped 50 percent.
The New York Times’ Leftist readers provided the dessert to this feast. The editors permitted one pro-Trump voice, a Margo Channing, to provide a foil for the Gray Lady’s virtue-signaling, torch-bearing mob.. They composed 99 percent of the 1,408 permitted commenters.
Wrote Channing:
CNN, MSDNC and Fox all referred to this thing as “The Wuhan Flu” and then “The China Virus.” I don’t see anyone upset with these outlets. ... That’s because it’s a fact. ... Many of us in this country appreciate the President’s direct talk on this subject—there is no skirting the truth at a time like this. … But even now—the same bleating social justice panderers who call themselves Americans can only disparage the President and complain about racism. … The President is invested in solving this problem and protecting this country. I for one appreciate him being here now.
The hate-Trump mob:
[F]or the President of the United States to not know—or seem to care—that his calling it the “Chinese Virus” is inciting racist acts by others is irresponsible.
Trump’s description of COVID-19 as the Chinese virus is having real-life results. Innocent Asian-Americans are being treated horribly.
Insisting on calling it “Chinese virus” … is incompetent and cowardly and encourage[s] racist behaviors.
[R]iling up his racist supporters was Trump’s primary purpose.
This article lays bare the ignorant racism that has been given a green light under the ignorant man named Trump.
To its credit, Rolling Stone, hardly a place to find thinkers on the right, didn’t exercise iron-fisted control of the narrative. As of March 31, its editors permitted more than 90 percent of comments on an anti-white rant to be hostile: 25 of 26 (previously 33 out of 34), plus one comment deleted [How Social Distancing Could Lead to a Spike in White Nationalism,by E.J. Dickson, March 18, 2020].
Just for the record, the same day the New York Times piece appeared, Trump tweeted his support for Asian Americans and said “the spreading of the virus is NOT their fault.”
All that said, the question is: why, aside from pathological Trump Derangement, did the New York Times offered a narrative for which it offered little if any evidence.
My guess?
It’s a product of the leftwing Ugly Asian Lobby, a pan-ethnic movement that arose 40-odd years ago to oppose the “Model Minority” East Asians, and, more importantly, to peddle its own twist to the emerging anti-white narrative.
The idea that Trump hates East Asians is precisely what UA would peddle if it had the chance, and wouldn’t you know it, the Times obliged. The story couldn’t have been any more ridiculous if UA activists had written it themselves.
Yet whatever motivated it, the Tavernise-Oppel hit job is an in-kind contribution to the Democrats’ 2020 election campaign. The Left failed to defeat Trump in 2016. For three years, it has tried to kill his presidency, but failed there, too, even with the full-might of the ant-white MSM behind the Russian “collusion” and impeachment hoaxes.
So now they have a new narrative they think will take down Trump in November. Blame him for the Chinese Virus pandemic, which the Democrats ignored during their hoked-up impeachment, then claim he is a racist for calling SARS-CoV-2 the same thing they did earlier [Media Called Coronavirus ‘Wuhan’ Or ‘Chinese Coronavirus’ Dozens Of Times, by Ian Schwartz, Real Clear Politics, March 12, 2020].

It is enough to deal with the criminals and kritarchs who interfere, but there is no need to tolerate the saboteurs like the Dirty 19 and Albence, who should know better, as he is legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), not a Customs puke.


vdare--2020-03-31--Releasing Illegals Into America: Kritarchs Attack Behind China Flu Scare

The Wu Flu is the latest excuse for releasing illegal aliens from custody .
Already two kritarchs have ordered the release of certain groups of illegal aliens based not on the law , but on a particular view of how diseases should be managed in a custodial situation .
A federal judge ordered the immediate release of 10 immigrants in government custody on Tuesday , saying it would be “ unconscionable and possibly barbaric ” to keep the chronically ill detainees in jails where they could be exposed to the coronavirus .
The order issued by US District Judge John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees from three county facilities in Pennsylvania — York , Clinton , and Pike — and comes as advocates continue to argue that immigration officials should cut the detention population .
[ ICE Must Release 10 Chronically Ill Immigrants After A Judge Said They ’ re Not Safe From The Coronavirus While In Custody , by Hamed Aleaziz , BuzzFeed , March 31 , 2020 ] Kritarch Jones , a Bush I appointee , apparently did not go to law school , as his decision is one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Should we fail to afford relief to Petitioners we will be a party to an unconscionable and possibly barbaric result , ” Jones wrote in his order .
“ Our Constitution and laws apply equally to the most vulnerable among us , particularly when matters of public health are at issue .
This is true even for those who have lost a measure of their freedom .
If we are to remain the civilized society we hold ourselves out to be , it would be heartless and inhumane not to recognize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not that they are infected , or even close to being infected , but based on multiple suppositions that they are vulnerable , that if exposed they will be infected , that if infected they will die , and that if released they will not become infected .
There is nothing in immigration law about being released from custody based on a theoretical exposure to a flu virus .
It is time to put these lawless kritarchs in their place .
President Trump should do an Andrew Jackson , ignore the order and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
Judges have no force behind them other than the Executive Branch .

Lawless Kritarch John E. Jones III
Kritarch Jones, a Bush I appointee, apparently did not go to law school, as his decision is one of moral preening, not the law.
“Should we fail to afford relief to Petitioners we will be a party to an unconscionable and possibly barbaric result,” Jones wrote in his order. “Our Constitution and laws apply equally to the most vulnerable among us, particularly when matters of public health are at issue. This is true even for those who have lost a measure of their freedom. If we are to remain the civilized society we hold ourselves out to be, it would be heartless and inhumane not to recognize Petitioners’ plight.”
Their plight is not that they are infected, or even close to being infected, but based on multiple suppositions that they are vulnerable, that if exposed they will be infected, that if infected they will die, and that if released they will not become infected. There is nothing in immigration law about being released from custody based on a theoretical exposure to a flu virus.
It is time to put these lawless kritarchs in their place. President Trump should do an Andrew Jackson, ignore the order and dare the kritarch to do anything about it. Judges have no force behind them other than the Executive Branch.

When the after-action report on the current pandemic is being prepared , I ’ m going to ask the guy with the notepad to write down : “ China ” and “ globalists.
