therightscoop--2020-04-01--DRUG BLOCKADE: Trump admin to deploy anti-drug Navy ships near Venezuela

AT today ’ s coronavirus press briefing , Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced that the US will soon be parking anti-drug Navy ships in Venezuela ’ s backyard , otherwise known as the Caribbean Sea : THE HILL – Trump administration officials announced Wednesday that the U.S. military would send naval ships and aircraft to the Caribbean as part of an enhanced counternarcotics operation .
President Trump and other top officials discussed the operation at the top of a White House coronavirus briefing Wednesday evening .
Trump said it was important not to let drug cartels “ exploit the pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mark Esper said that the Pentagon would deploy additional ships , aircraft and security forces to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility as part of the operation .
“ At a time when the nation and the Department of Defense are focused on protecting the American people from the spread from the coronavirus , we also remain vigilant to the many other threats the country faces , ” Esper told reporters .
“ Today , at the president ’ s direction , the Department of Defense in close cooperation with our interagency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea , ” he continued .
I don ’ t know if Venezuela was specifically mentioned in the announcement , but that appears to be the key focus of this deployment .
Earlier today , the AP reported this likely has much to do with Maduro ’ s drug indictment by the DOJ this week : The Trump administration will soon announce that the U.S. is moving naval ships toward Venezuela as it enhances counter-narcotic operations in the Caribbean following a U.S. drug indictment against Nicolás @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the situation .
The deployment could be announced as early as Wednesday , according to the people , who were speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss it ahead of the official announcement .
The mission is part of the U.S. ’ s previously announced commitment to enhance anti-drug operations in the hemisphere .
But its taken on greater urgency following last week ’ s indictment of Maduro , Venezuela ’ s embattled socialist leader , and members of his inner circle and military .
They are accused of leading a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 250 metric tons of cocaine a year into the U.S. , about half of it by sea .
I think this is a great idea .
It not only protects the US , but is another way to put pressure on Maduro and his henchmen in hopes of eventually driving them out of power .

AT today’s coronavirus press briefing, Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced that the US will soon be parking anti-drug Navy ships in Venezuela’s backyard, otherwise known as the Caribbean Sea:
THE HILL – Trump administration officials announced Wednesday that the U.S. military would send naval ships and aircraft to the Caribbean as part of an enhanced counternarcotics operation. President Trump and other top officials discussed the operation at the top of a White House coronavirus briefing Wednesday evening. Trump said it was important not to let drug cartels “exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives.” Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that the Pentagon would deploy additional ships, aircraft and security forces to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility as part of the operation. “At a time when the nation and the Department of Defense are focused on protecting the American people from the spread from the coronavirus, we also remain vigilant to the many other threats the country faces,” Esper told reporters. “Today, at the president’s direction, the Department of Defense in close cooperation with our interagency partners, began enhanced counternarcotics operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea,” he continued.
I don’t know if Venezuela was specifically mentioned in the announcement, but that appears to be the key focus of this deployment.
Earlier today, the AP reported this likely has much to do with Maduro’s drug indictment by the DOJ this week:
The Trump administration will soon announce that the U.S. is moving naval ships toward Venezuela as it enhances counter-narcotic operations in the Caribbean following a U.S. drug indictment against Nicolás Maduro, according to three people familiar with the situation. The deployment could be announced as early as Wednesday, according to the people, who were speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss it ahead of the official announcement. The mission is part of the U.S.’s previously announced commitment to enhance anti-drug operations in the hemisphere. But its taken on greater urgency following last week’s indictment of Maduro, Venezuela’s embattled socialist leader, and members of his inner circle and military . They are accused of leading a narcoterrorist conspiracy responsible for smuggling up to 250 metric tons of cocaine a year into the U.S., about half of it by sea.
I think this is a great idea. It not only protects the US, but is another way to put pressure on Maduro and his henchmen in hopes of eventually driving them out of power.

Pastor plans Woodstock-like outdoor Easter ‘blowout service’ to protest shutdown of churches during pandemic…

As we ’ ve reported , two pastors have been arrested this week for continuing to hold large church services despite restrictions on large gatherings during the pandemic .
The arrest of the megachurch Tampa pastor apparently struck a nerve with Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth , who is now going to hold an Easter “ blowout service ” that he likens to the size of Woodstock : NY POST – A Pennsylvania pastor said Tuesday he plans to organize an outdoor “ Woodstock ” -like service in protest of coronavirus stay-at-home orders and following the arrests of multiple pastors in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth said he will hold an “ outdoor Easter blowout service , ” even though Florida pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested Monday for holding services the day before , potentially placing attendees at risk for COVID-19 .
“ I ’ m gon na announce it .
… We ’ re gon na hold an outdoor Easter blowout service .
Not online .
A national gathering .
You come from all over , like Woodstock .
And we ’ re gon na gather and lift up Jesus Christ , ” he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Dr. Rodney got arrested .
I ’ m ashamed that when they wanted to arrest preachers for having church , in an entire state , there was only one to come for.
” That ’ s quite a bold move , and one that many would call reckless .
Referring to the Tampa megachurch pastor who was arrested on Monday , Shuttlesworth tweeted… In a video he called “ A prophetic word concerning what ’ s going on in the world ” , he exclaimed “ what are we going to become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He then quipped “ unzip your wife ’ s purse and go find your balls.
” Shuttlesworth hasn ’ t given an exact location yet , but I ’ m guessing it will happen somewhere in Pennsylvania , which is the 9th highest in the number of coronavirus illnesses with 5,805 cases , and 12th highest in the number of deaths with 74 .
If they do hold the service and draw a large crowd , check back a week or so afterward and we ’ ll see if Pennsylvania has risen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blowout service ’ .
I pray it doesn ’ t but the way this coronavirus is spreading , it just might .

As we’ve reported, two pastors have been arrested this week for continuing to hold large church services despite restrictions on large gatherings during the pandemic. The arrest of the megachurch Tampa pastor apparently struck a nerve with Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth, who is now going to hold an Easter “blowout service” that he likens to the size of Woodstock:
NY POST – A Pennsylvania pastor said Tuesday he plans to organize an outdoor “Woodstock”-like service in protest of coronavirus stay-at-home orders and following the arrests of multiple pastors in the US for allegedly violating such orders. Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth said he will hold an “outdoor Easter blowout service,” even though Florida pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested Monday for holding services the day before, potentially placing attendees at risk for COVID-19. “I’m gonna announce it. … We’re gonna hold an outdoor Easter blowout service. Not online. A national gathering. You come from all over, like Woodstock. And we’re gonna gather and lift up Jesus Christ,” he said. “I’m not ashamed that Dr. Rodney got arrested. I’m ashamed that when they wanted to arrest preachers for having church, in an entire state, there was only one to come for.”
That’s quite a bold move, and one that many would call reckless.
Referring to the Tampa megachurch pastor who was arrested on Monday, Shuttlesworth tweeted…
Pastor arrested for having a church service in his own building on Sunday, just like 1938 Germany.. and just like 1938 Germany, other pastors say nothing, or applaud the arrest!https://t.co/bi4MrBSWOy — Jonathan Shuttlesworth (@JDShuttlesworth) March 30, 2020
In a video he called “A prophetic word concerning what’s going on in the world”, he exclaimed “what are we going to become the underground church in four weeks?” He then quipped “unzip your wife’s purse and go find your balls.”
Shuttlesworth hasn’t given an exact location yet, but I’m guessing it will happen somewhere in Pennsylvania, which is the 9th highest in the number of coronavirus illnesses with 5,805 cases, and 12th highest in the number of deaths with 74. If they do hold the service and draw a large crowd, check back a week or so afterward and we’ll see if Pennsylvania has risen in rank because of this Easter ‘blowout service’. I pray it doesn’t but the way this coronavirus is spreading, it just might.


therightscoop--2020-04-01--US Intelligence finds that China ‘faked’ it’s coronavirus numbers

The US intelligence community has found that China intentionally faked it ’ s coronavirus numbers in a report to the White House : BUSINESS INSIDER – The US intelligence community has determined that the Chinese government concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in China and gave false statistics of the total number of positive cases and deaths in the country , Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday .
Intelligence officials transmitted a classified report of their findings to the White House last week .
Sources told Bloomberg that the main conclusion of the report is that China ’ s public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incomplete.
” One official told the outlet the intelligence document found that China ’ s numbers are fake .
Bloomberg reported that there ’ s been significant doubt of China ’ s reported statistics on its coronavirus cases , and that the Chinese government has repeatedly changed its methodology to track cases .
For instance , the report said , for weeks Chinese officials excluded asymptomatic people from being counted as positive cases and only revised that measure on Tuesday , adding more than 1,500 asymptomatic cases to its total count .
US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up information about its coronavirus cases and of spreading disinformation as the virus continues to spread .
Business Insider notes that even the South China Morning Post is reporting on evidence , on the ground in China , that would suggest they are lying their butts off about the death toll there : Almost a week has passed since a case of the novel coronavirus has been reported in Wuhan .
Coronavirus cases are flattening off across China , Reuters reported on Monday .
But some Wuhan residents also believe that government officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths from the coronavirus .
A truck driver in Wuhan delivered about 5,000 urns to a single funeral home over two days last week , according to the South China Morning Post , which cited a Caixin magazine report .
The Caixin report , according to SCMP , “ purportedly showed 3,500 urns stacked on the floor of the funeral home.
” The official death toll in Wuhan “ can ’ t be right … because the incinerators have been working round-the-clock , ” one resident , who identified himself by his surname @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ So how can so few people have died ?
” Zhang asked .
According to RFA , some city residents said on social media that Wuhan ’ s funeral homes were “ handing out 3,500 urns every day.
” RFA ’ s reporting , which could not be independently verified by Insider , said at the current rate , about “ 42,000 urns would be given out ” between March 23 and April 5 , when a traditional grave-tending festival begins .
Chinese testing kits aren ’ t working and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than the Chinese want us to know about .
But hey , keep parroting Chinese propaganda MSM .
You do it for the Democrats so why not China too .

While the rest of the country is trying to figure out how to keep people safe , Democrats are already planning how to try and turn this pandemic into election success in November : NBC NEWS – Informal discussions have begun on Capitol Hill about the possibility of creating a panel to scrutinize the Trump administration ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic that would be modeled on the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 , 2001 , according to four people familiar with the discussions .

While the rest of the country is trying to figure out how to keep people safe, Democrats are already planning how to try and turn this pandemic into election success in November:
NBC NEWS – Informal discussions have begun on Capitol Hill about the possibility of creating a panel to scrutinize the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic that would be modeled on the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to four people familiar with the discussions. They described the discussions as “very preliminary” and involving mostly congressional Democrats. One option could be a plan to review the administration’s response in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, two of the people said.
The Russia investigation failed. Pelosi and Schiff’s impeachment failed. Now Democrats want to use the pandemic to try and destroy Trump and here’s their unsurprising ringleader:
After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, we looked at what went wrong to learn from our mistakes. Once we've recovered, we need a nonpartisan commission to review our response and how we can better prepare for the next pandemic. I’m working on a bill to do that.https://t.co/uqO3BwVldN — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) April 1, 2020
NBC News does report that some lawmakers say the commission should be done after the election, but I’d be willing to be that those lawmakers are in a very small minority:
But the formation of any commission, or possible congressional investigations, wouldn’t happen until after the country is through the crisis, the people familiar with the discussions said. Some lawmakers have suggested putting off any investigation until after November’s presidential election, they said.
If it can’t start until the country is through the crisis, then Democrats will be praying for this crisis to end quickly so they can begin their investigations into Trump.

This is an impressive statement from California Governor Gavin Newsom .
Earlier today CNN host Jake Tapper tried to get him to admit that he ’ s really only praising Trump because he worries how Trump might react to his state if he doesn ’ t .

“ You and President Trump seemed to have been working collaboratively .

” Newsom pointed to Trump ’ s assistance in the wildfires and droughts California has previously faced .
“ This is not the time to bicker .

“I’ve talked to officials around the country who have said that they have to temper their remarks in what they say about the federal government’s response for fear that President Trump will punish the citizens of their state if he considers them to be a complainer,” Tapper said. “You and President Trump seemed to have been working collaboratively. He praised you yesterday. Do you find yourself, by necessity, tempering what you say in terms of any issue you might have with the federal response?”
Newsom pointed to Trump’s assistance in the wildfires and droughts California has previously faced.
“This is not the time to bicker. I don’t care who’s up and down, whose polls are looking better than someone else’s or who wants to run for president or who doesn’t. When it comes to times of crisis, we need to [rise] above the partisanship and I’ve extended always an open hand, not a closed fist, in those circumstances. And this is no different,” Newsom told Tapper.
“But let me just be candid with you. I’d be lying to you to say that he hasn’t been responsive to our needs. He has,” the governor continued. “And so, as a question, as a sort of an offer of objectivity, I have to acknowledge that publicly.”
Newsom continued: “And the fact is every time I’ve called the president, he’s quickly gotten on the line. […] Those are the facts.”
“We always want more, I can criticize this or that, at the end of the day, we’re just trying to focus on developing a relationship of trust as a matter of course because there [are] just too many Americans, 40 million that live in this state that deserve us to get together and get along,” he added.

El Presidente Trump just slammed Chuck Schumer in a scathing letter that is causing indigestion among the twitterati and the pundit class:
Some excerpts:
“Thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and incorrect sound bites, which are wrong in every way. … I’ve known you for many years, but I never knew how bad a senator you are for the state of New York, until I became president.”
“If you spent less time on your ridiculous impeachment hoax … and instead focused on helping the people of New York, then New York would not have been so completely unprepared for the ‘invisible enemy.’”
“You should have had New York much better prepared than you did.”
Wow. That’s gonna leave a mark.

therightscoop--2020-04-02--WATCH: Trump campaign taunts Twitter with fake video of Biden calling coronavirus a ‘hoax’

The Trump campaign isn ’ t happy that Biden is allowed to keep his fake video up of Trump calling the coronavirus a hoax without a fake news warning , so they ’ ve decided to put one up themselves .
It ’ s very simple and too the point : They are basically daring Twitter to take action against their video to make a point .
And ironically , Biden is helping them : Joe Biden ’ s campaign is calling on President Trump ’ s re-election campaign to pull a “ wildly irresponsible ” video from Twitter that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calling the coronavirus a hoax — and they ’ re asking Twitter to remove the ad if the president ’ s campaign won ’ t .
“ This is a wildly irresponsible tactic by the Trump campaign that attempts to draw a bizarre and false equivalence , and is purposefully misleading voters , ” Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo tells Axios in a statement .
“ Disinformation and deceptively manipulated media have no place in our public discourse , and must not be tolerated in this campaign , ” Ducklo said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a mechanism to spread lies and fake media , and if the Trump campaign won ’ t do the right thing , Twitter should remove the video immediately.
” It ’ s hilarious that Team Biden would claim “ disinformation and deceptively manipulated media have no place in our public discourse ” , when that ’ s exactly what their video of Trump is and why the Trump campaign has made it the subject of a lawsuit and called for its removal .
The Washington Post , Snopes , and others have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true .
Yet Twitter , the self-appointed social media referee , refuses to take it down or put a fake news warning on it .
So how will they react to Team Trump ’ s video of Biden calling the coronavirus a hoax ?
It remains to be seen , but we ’ ll be sure and let you know if they take an biased actions as a result .

The Trump campaign isn’t happy that Biden is allowed to keep his fake video up of Trump calling the coronavirus a hoax without a fake news warning, so they’ve decided to put one up themselves. It’s very simple and too the point:
The media is giving a pass to a pro-Biden TV ad that doctors and deceptively edits audio of President Trump, even though every independent fact checker said President Trump DID NOT call the coronavirus a hoax. Joe Biden, on the other hand? This sounds authentic… pic.twitter.com/YY6vN5gTM6 — Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) April 2, 2020
They are basically daring Twitter to take action against their video to make a point.
And ironically, Biden is helping them:
Joe Biden’s campaign is calling on President Trump’s re-election campaign to pull a “wildly irresponsible” video from Twitter that splices in sound to falsely depict Biden calling the coronavirus a hoax — and they’re asking Twitter to remove the ad if the president’s campaign won’t. “This is a wildly irresponsible tactic by the Trump campaign that attempts to draw a bizarre and false equivalence, and is purposefully misleading voters,” Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo tells Axios in a statement. “Disinformation and deceptively manipulated media have no place in our public discourse, and must not be tolerated in this campaign,” Ducklo said. “Twitter cannot allow their platform to be a mechanism to spread lies and fake media, and if the Trump campaign won’t do the right thing, Twitter should remove the video immediately.”
It’s hilarious that Team Biden would claim “disinformation and deceptively manipulated media have no place in our public discourse”, when that’s exactly what their video of Trump is and why the Trump campaign has made it the subject of a lawsuit and called for its removal.
The Washington Post, Snopes, and others have all said the Biden video is not true. Yet Twitter, the self-appointed social media referee, refuses to take it down or put a fake news warning on it.
So how will they react to Team Trump’s video of Biden calling the coronavirus a hoax? It remains to be seen, but we’ll be sure and let you know if they take an biased actions as a result.

Tampa megachurch pastor decides to stop holding services after arrest, but it’s not because of the coronavirus…

The megachurch pastor in Tampa , Florida has decided to stop holding services during the pandemic after his arrest earlier this week .
But he ’ s not doing it because of the Coronavirus , but rather to protect his flock from a tyrannical government : DAILY BEAST – “ I actually have no choice at this juncture but to shut the church down this Sunday , ” Rodney Howard-Browne of The River at Tampa Bay said on his livestream call-in show .

Howard-Browne kept his followers guessing for two days about whether he would risk re-arrest by inviting them to pack into the church , where he claims he installed machines to prevent them from being infected .
But on his Wednesday show , he finally revealed that he had shut down the building on Monday and would not reopen it , saying he didn ’ t want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and floating the insane idea that an outsider infected with coronavirus might show up to a service and try to make his faithful sick .
“ I ’ m not caving , ” said Howard-Browne , who is free on $ 500 bail .

But I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and governments will try and take advantage of the unfolding economic crisis in order to push their leftist agendas , so we do have to be weary of that .

therightscoop--2020-04-02--Unemployment claims skyrockets another 6.6 million

The data on unemployment claims for last week has now been reported , doubling the record number reported two weeks ago : CNBC – The torrent of Americans filing for unemployment insurance skyrocketed last week as more than 6.6 million new claims were filed , the Labor Department reported Thursday .
That brings to 10 million the total Americans who filed over the past two weeks .
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected 3.1 million for last week , one week after 3.3 million filings in the first wave of what has been a record-shattering swelling of the jobless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total was revised higher by 24,000 .
10 million in two weeks .
That ’ s an insane amount , but it is to be expected in this coronavirus pandemic when states and local governments are shutting down the economy in order to keep people safe .

Maybe these catastrophic numbers will be a wakeup call for all these pundits and reporters to see that Trump is right .
I ’ ve never heard of Jon Sakoda , who says he ’ s an entrepreneur and venture capitalist , but I thought his tweet was very much on point : He ’ s exactly right .
Jobs do matter and are essential to provide people with what they need to live .
The federal government can ’ t sustain people ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t stop the layoffs and get the economy back going again , the coronavirus won ’ t be the only pandemic killing people .

That brings to 10 million the total Americans who filed over the past two weeks. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected 3.1 million for last week, one week after 3.3 million filings in the first wave of what has been a record-shattering swelling of the jobless ranks. The previous week’s total was revised higher by 24,000.
10 million in two weeks. That’s an insane amount, but it is to be expected in this coronavirus pandemic when states and local governments are shutting down the economy in order to keep people safe.
It’s ironic to see media headlines hyperventilating about the record number of unemployment claims though, because when Trump suggested that we couldn’t continue this economic ‘shut down’ for much longer, the media began accusing him of wanting to get the economy running too soon, at the expense of people’s lives. Maybe these catastrophic numbers will be a wakeup call for all these pundits and reporters to see that Trump is right.
I’ve never heard of Jon Sakoda, who says he’s an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, but I thought his tweet was very much on point:
The unemployment data is shocking. There are 10 million people that have filed for unemployment in two weeks in the US. The unemployment crisis is going to be larger and hit much closer to home if we can't stop layoffs. Lives matter, but so do jobs — Jon Sakoda (@jonsakoda) April 2, 2020
He’s exactly right. Jobs do matter and are essential to provide people with what they need to live. The federal government can’t sustain people’s lives indefinitely and if we don’t stop the layoffs and get the economy back going again, the coronavirus won’t be the only pandemic killing people.

Schumer had told CNN that “one unnamed governor even told him that he has reached out to Sweden in a desperate search to find more ventilators.” But what’s wrong with that? If states can get them from Sweden, they should! It’s not like the federal government has to be the one and only supplier of medical supplies. In fact Trump keeps telling the states that they should be buy directly and that the federal government should be a backup.


therightscoop--2020-04-03--REPORT: Coronavirus expert says virus could have leaked from Wuhan lab

The Daily Caller has a new report out quoting a Coronavirus expert , Richard H. Ebright , who suggests that it ’ s entirely possible the coronavirus leaked from a Wuhan lab where they were studying bat viruses : A molecular biologist who has been quoted as a coronavirus expert by The Washington Post and MSNBC said Thursday in no uncertain terms that the novel coronavirus could have been unleashed due to a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
China ’ s top virologist on bat-borne viruses , Shi Zhengli , has sworn on her life that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lab , saying that its spread was “ nature punishing the human race for keeping uncivilized living habits.
” But Richard H. Ebright , a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University , told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday that there is a real possibility that the virus entered the human population due to a laboratory accident .
When asked specifically if he believes the virus could have leaked from Shi ’ s lab in Wuhan , Ebright said : “ Yes.
” “ A denial is not a refutation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a denial based on ‘ nature punishing the human race for keeping uncivilized living habits.
’ ” Zhengli had worried in December that the coronavirus leaked from her lab… And while Shi now tells those who question whether her lab could be connected to the release of the coronavirus to “ shut their stinking mouths , ” she previously said she lost sleep worrying about the possibility that her lab in Wuhan could have been responsible for the virus ’ s release .
Shi , known by her colleagues as the “ bat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she has spent hunting for viruses in bat caves , told Scientific American in March that she frantically searched for any evidence that her laboratory ’ s records were mishandled upon learning of the virus ’ s outbreak in Wuhan in late December .
“ Could they have come from our lab ?
” Shi recalled thinking .
“ I had never expected this kind of thing to happen in Wuhan , in central China , ” she noted , saying that her studies had shown that southern China posed the greatest risk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Shi said she breathed a sigh of relief when results came back showing that the sequences of the coronavirus did not match the viruses she and her team had sampled from bat caves .
“ That really took a load off my mind , ” Shi said .
“ I had not slept a wink for days.
” Ebright says the possibility of a lab accident “ can not –and should not–be dismissed.
” Ebright , the Rutgers University molecular biologist , told Beijing-based news outlet Caixin Global in February that while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus was engineered , ” the available data indicates that the virus ’ s introduction into human populations could be attributed to either natural causes or to a laboratory mishap .
The Washington Post and MSNBC have quoted Ebright saying that theories about the virus being a bioweapon should be “ firmly excluded , ” but neither outlet included his belief that the possibility that the virus entered the human population through a lab accident “ can not –and should not–be dismissed.
” While researching some of this , I found a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that some Chinese scientists believe this may have leaked from the virology lab instead of coming from the ‘ wet market ’ : Whichever way it occurred , either naturally or via a lab accident , the one thing we know for sure is that China silenced it ’ s people and hid it from the world for far too long and should be held accountable .
Whether that will actually happen or not , I seriously have my doubts .

The Daily Caller has a new report out quoting a Coronavirus expert, Richard H. Ebright, who suggests that it’s entirely possible the coronavirus leaked from a Wuhan lab where they were studying bat viruses:
A molecular biologist who has been quoted as a coronavirus expert by The Washington Post and MSNBC said Thursday in no uncertain terms that the novel coronavirus could have been unleashed due to a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. China’s top virologist on bat-borne viruses, Shi Zhengli, has sworn on her life that the virus did not leak from her Wuhan lab, saying that its spread was “nature punishing the human race for keeping uncivilized living habits.” But Richard H.

When asked specifically if he believes the virus could have leaked from Shi’s lab in Wuhan, Ebright said: “Yes.” “A denial is not a refutation,” Ebright said. “Especially not a denial based on ‘nature punishing the human race for keeping uncivilized living habits.’”
Zhengli had worried in December that the coronavirus leaked from her lab…
And while Shi now tells those who question whether her lab could be connected to the release of the coronavirus to “shut their stinking mouths,” she previously said she lost sleep worrying about the possibility that her lab in Wuhan could have been responsible for the virus’s release. Shi, known by her colleagues as the “bat woman” because of the 16 years she has spent hunting for viruses in bat caves, told Scientific American in March that she frantically searched for any evidence that her laboratory’s records were mishandled upon learning of the virus’s outbreak in Wuhan in late December. “Could they have come from our lab?” Shi recalled thinking. “I had never expected this kind of thing to happen in Wuhan, in central China,” she noted, saying that her studies had shown that southern China posed the greatest risk of coronaviruses jumping from animals to humans. Shi said she breathed a sigh of relief when results came back showing that the sequences of the coronavirus did not match the viruses she and her team had sampled from bat caves. “That really took a load off my mind,” Shi said. “I had not slept a wink for days.”
Ebright says the possibility of a lab accident “cannot–and should not–be dismissed.”
Ebright, the Rutgers University molecular biologist, told Beijing-based news outlet Caixin Global in February that while there is “no basis to suspect the virus was engineered,” the available data indicates that the virus’s introduction into human populations could be attributed to either natural causes or to a laboratory mishap. The Washington Post and MSNBC have quoted Ebright saying that theories about the virus being a bioweapon should be “firmly excluded,” but neither outlet included his belief that the possibility that the virus entered the human population through a lab accident “cannot–and should not–be dismissed.”
While researching some of this, I found a Korean news report from February 16 reporting that some Chinese scientists believe this may have leaked from the virology lab instead of coming from the ‘wet market’:
Whichever way it occurred, either naturally or via a lab accident, the one thing we know for sure is that China silenced it’s people and hid it from the world for far too long and should be held accountable. Whether that will actually happen or not, I seriously have my doubts.

Martha McSally called for the head of WHO , Dr. Tedros , to step down over the organization ’ s constant sucking up to China and helping them cover up their incompetence in the coronavirus outbreak .
I would be totally for this except for one thing – Dr. Fauci of President Trump ’ s coronavirus task force completely vouched for Tedros , and said he was a very capable doctor and leader of the World Health Organization .

therightscoop--2020-04-03--More evidence points to coronavirus originating from laboratory in Wuhan, not ‘wet market’

There is mounting evidence that in addition to China trying to cover up the origin of the coronavirus in Wuhan , China , they might also be covering up that the virus came from a laboratory , not the “ wet markets ” as many assume .
Jim Geraghty , despite being a Jets fan , is a fantastic political correspondent for National Review , and he really laid out all the reasons to believe that the virus came from a laboratory .
It ’ s long , but it ’ s worth reading , and it is very alarming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be wary of the notion that the origin of the coronavirus could be discovered by some documentary filmmaker who used to live in China .
Matthew Tye , who creates YouTube videos , contends he has identified the source of the coronavirus — and a great deal of the information that he presents , obtained from public records posted on the Internet , checks out .
The Wuhan Institute of Virology in China indeed posted a job opening on November 18 , 2019 , “ asking for scientists to come research the relationship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ December 24 , 2019 , the Wuhan Institute of Virology posted a second job posting .
The translation of that posting includes the declaration , “ long-term research on the pathogenic biology of bats carrying important viruses has confirmed the origin of bats of major new human and livestock infectious diseases such as SARS and SADS , and a large number of new bat and rodent new viruses have been discovered and identified.
” Now it is important to note that there is a YUGE distinction between the conspiracy theories that say China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the West , and Geraghty ’ s contention here that there is evidence the virus somehow leaked from a lab .
Here ’ s his conclusion from all the evidence he documented : Virologists have been vehemently skeptical of the theory that COVID-19 was engineered or deliberately constructed in a laboratory ; the director of the National Institutes of Health has written that recent genomic research “ debunks such claims by providing scientific evidence that this novel coronavirus arose naturally.
” And none of the above is definitive proof that COVID-19 originated from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Disease Control & Prevention or the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
Definitive proof would require much broader access to information about what happened in those facilities in the time period before the epidemic in the city .
But it is a remarkable coincidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was researching Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses in bats before the pandemic outbreak , and that in the month when Wuhan doctors were treating the first patients of COVID-19 , the institute announced in a hiring notice that “ a large number of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discovered and identified.
” And the fact that the Chinese government spent six weeks insisting that COVID-19 could not be spread from person to person means that its denials about Wuhan laboratories can not be accepted without independent verification .
I think there will be more information coming out about this , but it doesn ’ t help that our media is looking the other way because this kind of inquiry could indirectly help their mortal enemy , Donald Trump .

There is mounting evidence that in addition to China trying to cover up the origin of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China, they might also be covering up that the virus came from a laboratory, not the “wet markets” as many assume.
There is a great deal of deliberately blurring the line between “engineered in a lab” and “originated in a lab.” There is no evidence this virus is manmade. There is considerable circumstantial evidence it may be natural but accidentally released.https://t.co/OrZ2FXpntW — Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) April 3, 2020

She says she’s been following the guidelines and she still got it. I think that proof positive that everyone needs to be careful, especially around the vulnerable.
But like she said, she’s strong and healthy so she’ll probably be just fine. Maybe her and Cuomo can do a show together to talk about their crazy hallucinations. It’s gotta be better than the normal stuff they broadcast…
