Protesting a politician or a celebrity or some other public person who has massive influence is one thing…but to target American citizens for no other reason than harassment and intimidation is quite another.
That’s exactly what’s happening to the St. Louis couple who were forced to defend their home with guns last week when the BLM mob broke down their privacy gate and trespassed on private property and threatened to kill them, their dog, and burn down their house.

Well, that mob is back again – even bigger this time – trespassing on private property and harassing and intimidating innocent American citizens for sport.
The harassment and intimidation are so bad, that the couple had to board up their home. – READ MORE

Hydroxychloroquine helped save coronavirus patients, study shows; Trump campaign hails ‘fantastic news’

Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan have found that early administration of the drug hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die .
The study , published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases , determined that hydroxychloroquine provided a “ 66 % hazard ratio reduction , ” and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin a 71 percent reduction , compared to neither treatment .

Recall that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” was not to make the virus go away but to slow the spread of infections to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed in the short run ( this was never an issue in Texas ) .

The good news is the hospitals were never overrun .

The author tells of what’s happening on the ground, and it differs dramatically from the headlines driving Texas officials to once again close up the economy in a panic over a rise in cases.
Recall that the original idea of “flattening the curve” was not to make the virus go away but to slow the spread of infections to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed in the short run (this was never an issue in Texas). The stay at home order for two weeks was meant to buy time for hospitals to get enough equipment and deal with patients over time rather than all at once. The good news is the hospitals were never overrun.
It also turns out that COVID-19 deaths were a fraction of the most alarmist predictions that drove public policy, and over time that COVID-19 deaths continue to decrease.
But now we hear about rising cases – not deaths – and that is introducing more calls for lockdowns and travel bans.
What the letter reports will not shock anyone who has followed cases during the reopening period. The cases are mostly young people who are in very little danger from the virus.
