A Tale Of Two Plagues

With the Coronavirus outbreak spreading from region to region , one should realize that this pandemic is ( hopefully ) mild in comparison to two outbreaks from the past : the Black Death of the Fourteenth Century and the Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 .
The Black Death of the Fourteenth Century , which killed nearly half of Europe ’ s population ( in addition to millions of others in Asia and North Africa ) took two forms- bubonic and pneumonic .
The bubonic form was transmitted by a bacteria known as Pasteurellas pestis , which resided in fleas , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other rodents .
The pneumonic form was transmitted from person to person .
It is possible that black rats travelled by ship to Europe , thus introducing the plague to that continent .
It is also possible that merchants and soldiers inadvertently brought the plague to Europe via the various caravan routes leading to the Crimea region .
The plague is also said to have been introduced to Europe via merchants fleeing the city of Caffa ( now Feodosia ) in the Crimea , which in 1347 was being besieged by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ army was being decimated by the plague , launched the heads of the soldiers who had died from the plague into Caffa via catapult , thus spreading the plague to that city .
The merchants had fled the city , but not before they had been exposed to the disease .
From there , they introduced the plague to Sicily , and then the Italian Peninsula .
The disease then spread throughout the rest of Europe over the next few years .
Needless to say , the people of Europe were terrified since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ originated , or how to deal with it .
Some people blamed the plague on deadly gases being released from the ground via earthquakes , while others claimed it was God ’ s wrath for humanity ’ s wickedness , while even others claimed it was a Jewish conspiracy to poison the wells .
And of course , physicians at the time were unable to do much about the plague .
In addition , the sanitary conditions during the Fourteenth Century were substandard , which probably accelerate the disease .
Trending : This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Will Blow Your Mind The Black Death eventually receded once its natural cycle was broken .
Although other outbreaks of the plague would occur in the centuries to follow , they were nowhere as deadly as the Black Death .
But one thing was clear : it left deep scars on European society , physically , socially , and psychologically .

With the Coronavirus outbreak spreading from region to region, one should realize that this pandemic is (hopefully) mild in comparison to two outbreaks from the past: the Black Death of the Fourteenth Century and the Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919.
The Black Death of the Fourteenth Century, which killed nearly half of Europe’s population (in addition to millions of others in Asia and North Africa) took two forms- bubonic and pneumonic. The bubonic form was transmitted by a bacteria known as Pasteurellas pestis, which resided in fleas, which in turn resided in black rats and other rodents. The pneumonic form was transmitted from person to person.

The plague is also said to have been introduced to Europe via merchants fleeing the city of Caffa (now Feodosia) in the Crimea, which in 1347 was being besieged by the Tatars. The Tatar commander, whose army was being decimated by the plague, launched the heads of the soldiers who had died from the plague into Caffa via catapult, thus spreading the plague to that city. The merchants had fled the city, but not before they had been exposed to the disease. From there, they introduced the plague to Sicily, and then the Italian Peninsula.

The Black Death eventually receded once its natural cycle was broken. Although other outbreaks of the plague would occur in the centuries to follow, they were nowhere as deadly as the Black Death. But one thing was clear: it left deep scars on European society, physically, socially, and psychologically.
The Spanish Influenza of 1918 is said to have killed anywhere from 25 to 50 million people worldwide. It originated in the United States at Fort Riley, Kansas during the last year of World War I. An army cook named Albert Mitchell reported to sick call on March 11, 1918, with flu-like symptoms. During the day, over a hundred other soldiers had similar symptoms, and within a week the number increased to over 500, and soon people were being diagnosed with the flu all across America. Within a year, it would spread to the rest of the globe due to American soldiers who were afflicted being sent overseas.
The United States was the country least affected with its death toll being 675,000, since millions of people from other nations died from the pandemic. Examples include India (where twelve million are said
to have died), Spain (where eight million were infected), and Germany (which is said to have resulted in the German offensive of July 1918 ending in failure).
As was the case with the Black Death, no one at the time knew what caused the flu or how it originated. The fact that it was caused by a virus had yet to be discovered.

However, such fear paled in comparison to the hysteria during the Black Death.
Over a year after the flu pandemic started, it mysteriously disappeared. And although over flu pandemics would occur in later years, they produced fewer deaths due to advances in medicine.
So in conclusion, keep in mind that the outbreaks of the past were worse than the coronavirus. And supposedly scientists in Israel have developed a vaccine to combat this current pandemic.

Have you ever wondered why so much Christian art lacks that masculine oomph?
You’re not alone.
For hundreds of years, Christian art has been dominated by Biblical heroes that look like bearded women, a sweet, docile Jesus with eyes forever turned heavenward, and angels represented as fat babies with wings, that no grown-ass man who beheld them would fall down in worship confusing them with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
The problem is that life imitates art.
If those are the images that Christians are getting, what is the result? Christians will have become doe-eyed, effeminized, nicer-than-Christ pacifists who lack the Biblical badassery that is exemplified by those heroes in Holy Writ.

Right Or Ridiculous? Meghan McCain Predicts Trump Will Ditch VP Mike Pence If Joe Picks Female Running Mate

The harpies on The View were pondering the possibilities of who Joe Biden could choose to join him on the Democratic ticket , and Megan McCain dropped quite the prediction .
On Friday , the usual suspects in the coven were all giddy and cooing over the idea that a woman might be picked by the Democratic front-runner , Joe Biden .
Joy Behar and her melanin-enhanced Mini-Me , Sunny Hostin , were particularly revved up .
Behar stressed that it could be any color of woman , as long as it was a woman , and Hostin gave the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women are just better at legislating than men .
The group of misandrists were looking at the smorgasbord of possibilities like Amy Klobuchar , Kamala Harris , and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams .
Trending : This Doctor ’ s Take On The Coronavirus Will Blow Your Mind Sadly , this might just be the best that the Democrats can do .
They ’ ve hidden away and refused to acknowledge Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ( D-HI ) who is a visible minority woman who is still in the race because she ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Democrat .
( And , admittedly , her ideas are a bit crazy sometimes . )
But hey , Republicans ( for unknown reasons ) chose the “ wrong ” kind of Republican several times as their nominee .
As recently as 2012 , we had the Democrat-lite Turncoat , Mitt Romney , and in 2008 , we ran “ Maverick ” John McCain who was a warmonger and thought reaching-across-the-aisle meant abandoning every conservative principle imaginable .
So , you know , it ’ s still an option for them… Speaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the prediction — and it shows just what she thinks of President Trump .
She said that she believes that Trump is “ gangster ” and would play the identity politics card if Joe Biden does .
McCain said that she thinks that Trump would drop Mike Pence as his 2020 running mate and bring on former Ambassador to the United Nations , Nikki Haley .
Behar surprisingly said that Pence is actually looking good now and compared to Trump whose “ luck has been changing.

The coven on The View thinks that the only thing that is important is that the Vice Presidential pick is a woman .
What an utter load of crap .

One of the most iconically weird people in Portland has stepped up his game in response to the WuFlu scare.
Every place you can go will have its own variation on what you could call ‘colorful characters’. People so distinctively original, that they become local legends of a sort.
Some, because they have achieved something remarkable. Others because they get all the ‘wrong’ sort of news coverage.
Others still are just remarkably weird.
Like ‘rides-a-unicycle-while-playing-flaming-bagpipes-and-wearing-a-ridiculous-costume’ levels of weird.
That’s the schtick of Portland’s ‘Unipiper’. He’s been at this long enough to have become moderately famous for it.
And when this latest disease scare became an international news story, he jumped on the bandwagon as only he could.
See for yourself.
Well, it’s good to see that not everyone on the Left Coast has lost their sense of humor.

If anyone is still foolish enough to go looking to them for journalistic integrity, they have only themselves to blame.

The following quote looks pretty damning, doesn’t it?
Trump told governors this morning they are on their own:

That was intentional.
Now, let’s take a step back — how does it look in its proper context?
A member of the @NYTimes editorial board lying for RTs–shameful. @realDonaldTrump's actual quote: “Respirators, ventilators…We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” https://t.co/floYw8RtZG — Cliff Sims (@Cliff_Sims) March 16, 2020

It should.
She’s the math whiz who was talking about Bloomberg’s millions in political campaigns and stuck her foot in her mouth — badly.

In particular , he has been able to tag his rivals with unflattering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ propagandists have been trying to lay blame for the Coronavirus at the feet of the American military , the President has changed his messaging accordingly .
He has , you remember , always been first and foremost , concerned about the national interests .

In fact , if the policies he has been pushing — including secure borders , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign-based manufacturing , protecting intellectual property , and rebalancing trade had been the national policy decades ago , we would not be feeling commercial disruptions due to disrupted supply chains to the same degree that we have been .

How do our readers feel about Trump tagging China as the ‘ owner ’ of this worldwide virus ?

If you’ve been paying attention, you will have picked up on a subtle shift in how the President has been speaking about the virus.
If Trump has brought anything with him from his private life to his political life, it’s been his branding ability.
Not only has he made a simple trucker’s cap into an already iconic symbol of his presidency, but he has been amazingly effective at tagging ideas with his preferred branding message. In particular, he has been able to tag his rivals with unflattering nicknames.
And now that Chinese Communist propagandists have been trying to lay blame for the Coronavirus at the feet of the American military, the President has changed his messaging accordingly.
He has, you remember, always been first and foremost, concerned about the national interests. That’s been his claim, and if you look at his policy (without the jaundiced eye of discredited Russia-Russia-Russia fearmongering) his priorities have lined up with his stated goal.
In fact, if the policies he has been pushing — including secure borders, repatriating (or at least diversifying) foreign-based manufacturing, protecting intellectual property, and rebalancing trade had been the national policy decades ago, we would not be feeling commercial disruptions due to disrupted supply chains to the same degree that we have been.
In other words — Trump was right about those issues… issues others in the media and political Intelligencia straight-up mocked him for persuing.
The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 16, 2020
The usual suspects are ‘triggered’ by him using the term ‘Chinese virus’. And their reactions were almost cliché.
Not everyone joined the hate-fest, though. The replies included plenty of support for him calling China out, too.

Kid Rock’s Bar Challenged Nashville Mayor’s Order To Close Bars As ‘Unconstitutional’ And Were Going To Defy It BUT…

Kid Rock is not the kind of guy who does as he ’ s told .
Especially when the person telling him what to do lacks the authority to do so .
He ’ s his own man .
You know , kind of like the Founding Fathers .
It seems like the business partner in his bar shares his contrarian instincts .
When it came out that government officials were responding to the virus scare by mandating that bars and restaurants close their doors , a public statement was released .
But the heavy hand of authoritarian government officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case like this .
It ’ s the public , not the government , whose favor and goodwill a business needs to foster .
And in this instance , the public sentiment was apparently in favor of closing for a brief period , until the situation has been properly grappled with , and the worst of the scare is over .

Kid Rock is not the kind of guy who does as he’s told. Especially when the person telling him what to do lacks the authority to do so.
He’s his own man. You know, kind of like the Founding Fathers.
It seems like the business partner in his bar shares his contrarian instincts. When it came out that government officials were responding to the virus scare by mandating that bars and restaurants close their doors, a public statement was released.
JUST IN: Several bars on Lower Broadway, including popular Tootsies, Honky Tonk Central, Kid Rock’s bar, will remain OPEN after Nashville mayor asked them to close over #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/LfGJ1ZfzoU — FoxNashville (@FOXNashville) March 15, 2020
But the heavy hand of authoritarian government officials was not the only consideration in a case like this.
It’s the public, not the government, whose favor and goodwill a business needs to foster. And in this instance, the public sentiment was apparently in favor of closing for a brief period, until the situation has been properly grappled with, and the worst of the scare is over.
THAT is a voice far more difficult for even contrarian middle-finger-to-authority businessmen to ignore.
Looks like Steve Smith’s had a change of heart in about 24 hours time — the restaurateur has reportedly caved to public pressure and is now saying he will, in fact, be closing up all his bars and restaurants, including Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Steakhouse. —TMZ

Disgraced former-Congresswoman Katie Hill says that she was exposed to COVID-19 and thinks that she has it now. Here’s the 411…
You remember Katie Hill, right? She’s the Left’s poster-girl for sexism. Nevermind that there was a House ethics investigation into Hill carrying on with some hanky-panky with one Congressional subordinate and a young campaign staffer.
Hill is the married member of Congress that was involved in a multi-partner relationship and cheated on her spouse and their girlfriend (a campaign staffer still on her payroll) with her Congressional male staffer. If you know the definition of the word “throuple” it’s likely due to reporting on Katie Hill’s personal exploits.
Several nude photos of Hill were published which she called “revenge porn.” One was of her naked brushing the hair of her campaign staffer that was one member of the throuple relationship.
Hill has blamed sexism and “biphobia” as the root causes of her forced resignation rather than the House ethics investigation into an improper sexual relationship between her and a subordinate in a post-Me-Too world.
But now Katie has some news — and it’s not that she has been dating Playboy reporter Alex Thomas since mid-2019 (he denies the claim saying that they’re “just pals”) or as Page Six is reporting, that she has a new girlfriend, nothing like that. It’s that she may have contracted the Wuhan Coronavirus.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, she laid out how she was exposed and how she wants to “ride this thing out together.”
(And no, I’m not sorry for my choice of words.)
Hill says that she was told by her father that he spent a lot of time with someone that tested positive for Coronavirus and she spent time with her dad — but she’s not positive that that was the contact.
She also said that she won’t be tested unless she is “hospitalized” but as a young, healthy person, she probably won’t get too sick. So, she’s decided to self-quarantine for the next couple of weeks.
She wrote, “I’m lucky. I’m young. I probably won’t get too sick, & I can hang out in my apartment for two weeks. But my doctor told me yes, you almost certainly have it but nothing to do except quarantine myself & if it gets worse, like I literally CANNOT BREATHE, go to the hospital.”
In her thread, she takes a jab at the Trump administration for the lack of COVID-19 test kits. She also tells the “worried well” to stay home and not clog up the Emergency Rooms so that there will be spaces for those who really need it.
Despite what the administration is saying, tests are still in such short supply that public health departments are directing doctors to only test in very specific incidences. LA County DPH checklist here.
(2/x) pic.twitter.com/tHI2Izp0NG — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
I have had a dry cough, shortness of breath, & a fever since Saturday. My dad found out Saturday afternoon that he’d spent a lot of time with a person who tested positive for COVID-19. I was exposed to my dad, but I could have been way before that too… we will never know. (3/x) — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
But, my doc walked my through the DPH checklist and said that, despite my symptoms, since I was not in DIRECT contact with the confirmed case, I won’t get tested UNLESS I’M HOSPITALIZED. Because my dad ALSO still hasn’t been tested and thus is not confirmed. (5/x) — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
But ER’s around the country are warning about how they are already over capacity bc of the “worried well”. They don’t have tests (or nearly enough) in the ERs. If you go, you’ll expose yourself, transmit disease, and take up room from others. Unless you absolutely have to. (7/x) — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
Now imagine how many people out there are like me and can’t get tested, or who have the virus and are carrying it and infecting others and have no idea. Our numbers are way off, and likely will be for the foreseeable future. (9/x) — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
So, don’t expect a test, shut yourself in, PLEASE don’t go to the hospital unless you ABSOLUTELY have to, and let’s ride this thing out together. The end. (10/10) — Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) March 16, 2020
Well, it’s kind of a shocker that all she got was Coronavirus considering her *ahem* “social circle” seems to be quite extensive.

WATCH: Mayor de Blasio Defends Visiting A Public Gym Before NYC Announced Coronavirus Prevention Measures

He can break the rules simply because he ’ s in charge and he thinks that he ’ s better than you .
It ’ s really no different than any other communist dictator , right ?
On Monday morning , New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was spotted heading to the YMCA in Brooklyn to work out .
At 8 pm on Monday evening , all fitness facilities , restaurants , and bars in the state were to be closed in order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus .
New Yorkers that spotted the mayor took it precisely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Yorkers to take it .
His spokesperson , Melissa Russo , issued a statement that said , “ The YMCA has been a huge part of his and his family ’ s life , like it has been for a lot of New Yorkers .
It ’ s clear that ’ s about to change and before that , the mayor wanted to visit a place that keeps him grounded one last time .
That doesn ’ t change the fact that he is working around the clock to ensure the safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gyms will close and he will no longer be visiting the YMCA for the foreseeable future.
” The Mayor was called out on Twitter by his former aide , Rebecca Katz .
Jonathan Rosen , another close , longtime advisor to de Blasio , also condemned the mayor ’ s trip to the gym .
But the highly disliked mayor of New York fired back at the criticism by his former advisors .
“ I respect them both ; they can say what they want , but I think this is just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mayor said .
“ I have been making extremely serious difficult decisions nonstop and then talking to the people in a very forthright manor about them , ” Hizzoner touted .
“ There ’ s something wrong in the world where this kind of very small matter gets blown up like that by people , you know , who live in a world of public relations .
“ I don ’ t live in that world .
I live in the regular world.
” He also said that he “ got no exercise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he needs to exercise “ to be able to stay healthy and make decisions.
” See that ?
It ’ s imperative that he keeps himself healthy because he is a Very Important Person — certainly way more important than you are .
He can afford to bend the rules of “ social distancing ” and go and work out at a public gym just hours before it closes because he ’ s just so very special .
Criticizing him for it is clearly just being petty .
Clearly the Mayor needs to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seems impaired .
The optics of this are just awful .
Might I humbly suggest that Mayor de Blasio consider getting himself a Peleton ?

The Mayor was called out on Twitter by his former aide, Rebecca Katz.
No current or former staff member should be asked to defend this. The Mayor’s actions today are inexcusable and reckless. https://t.co/tjz3AQHpzu — Rebecca Katz (@RebeccaKKatz) March 16, 2020

The reporter was really reporting on the irresponsible despicable hysteria created by Democrats/fake news media solely to take-out Trump. They will fail.
A break from Corona hysteria and anti-Trump media. Watch something uplifting:

clashdaily--2020-03-16--Biblical Badasses: A Raw Look At Christianity And Art

ClashDaily ’ s Big Dawg , Doug Giles takes on the lame , sad , effeminized art with his new Biblical Badass series .
Check it out .
Have you ever wondered why so much Christian art lacks that masculine oomph ?
For hundreds of years , Christian art has been dominated by Biblical heroes that look like bearded women , a sweet , docile Jesus with eyes forever turned heavenward , and angels represented as fat babies with wings , that no grown-ass man who beheld them would fall down in worship confusing them with the Creator of Heaven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life imitates art .
If those are the images that Christians are getting , what is the result ?
Christians will have become doe-eyed , effeminized , nicer-than-Christ pacifists who lack the Biblical badassery that is exemplified by those heroes in Holy Writ .
After all , monkey see , monkey do .
Doug is taking up the brush and portraying the Biblical heroes as the Warriors & Wildmen that they were .

clashdaily--2020-03-17--John Bolton Counters ‘Fake News’ That Trump Admin Dissolved NSC Biodefense Offices

John Bolton would know .
After all , he was the National Security Advisor at the time .
The left suddenly had “ strange , new respect ” for John Bolton after a portion of his upcoming book leaked in the midst of the Senate Impeachment hearing .
In the draft excerpt published by The New York Times , Bolton claimed that President Trump was suspending aid to Ukraine until he received dirt from them on Joe Biden .
The Left thought that this was huge and demanded that Bolton be a witness in the Senate hearing .
The Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bolton was a stalwart Republican and involved in every GOP administration since Reagan , dismissed his history of being hawkish on national security , and generally ignored that he was the walking embodiment of everything that they reviled .
They did this because he might have been able to give testimony against Trump .
That “ strange , new respect ” didn ’ t last long , however .
One tweet just a couple of months later and it was all over .
John Bolton tweeted that the reports that the Trump administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false and misleading.
” He then linked to a Washington Post opinion piece written by Tim Morrison who was the Senior Director for counterproliferation and biodefense for the National Security Council at the time .
Morrison writes that President Trump gets a fair amount of criticism , some of it is warranted , much is not .
This unwarranted criticism extends to the Media ( D ) questioning his response to the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in December .
Morrison notes that the criticism is notably partisan and coming largely from former Obama officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that when he joined the National Security Council staff in 2018 , he inherited “ strong and skilled staff in the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate.
” The team of experts accomplished much including the National Biodefense Strategy of 2018 , an executive order to modernize influenza vaccines , and coordinated the United States ’ response to the Ebola epidemic .
Still , there was some bloat in the department .
This was done by consolidating three directorates into one because of the overlap between arms control and nonproliferation , weapons of mass destruction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biodefense .
This reorganization is what critics have jumped on and misrepresented .
He writes , “ If anything , the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled.
” The reduction of force in the NSC has continued since I departed the White House .
But it has left the biodefense staff unaffected — perhaps a recognition of the importance of that mission to the president , who , after all , in 2018 issued a presidential memorandum to finally create real accountability in the federal government ’ s expansive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only place in government where there is a staff that ensures the commander in chief gets all the options he needs to make a decision , and then makes sure that decision is actually implemented .
I worry that further reductions at the NSC could impair its capabilities , but the current staffing level is fully up to the job .
Morrison continues by saying that we are “ less safe ” when public servants are distracted because they ’ re dragged into politics , Americans are “ recklessly scared into doubting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them safe , secure and healthy ” and when we focus on political gamesmanship instead of the real issues .
For example , we should be united behind ensuring that , in a future congressional appropriations package , U.S. companies are encouraged to return to our shores from China the production of everything from medical face masks and personal protective equipment to vitamin C and penicillin .
And we should be united in demanding to know why the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) was aware of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and didn ’ t tell the rest of the world , when stopping the deadly spread might have been possible .
He then blasts the Media ( D ) for banging the drum on “ fake information aimed at our elections ” while ignoring the Chinese propaganda pushing back on the term “ Wuhan virus ” but the claim that COVID-19 was created by the U.S. Army despite public health officials pointing to the wild-animal market in Wuhan as the source of the outbreak .
He closed the article this way : Journos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for sharing the article , some citing leftist “ fact-checker ” Snopes as a “ take that John Bolton !
” reply .
One of CNN ’ s legal analysts , Elie Honig , thought the tweet was hilarious .
Los Angeles sports reporter , Molly Knight blasted Bolton for refusing to testify in the impeachment hearings .
Georgetown Professor , Don Moynihan , had the same sort of reply .
But the most damning was from the voice of She-Ra from the Netflix children ’ s cartoon .
Man , did Bolton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
She posted a series of tweets about a minute apart which , presumably , is how long it took for her to formulate her blistering comments .
How will Bolton ever recover from those damning replies from an obscure 31-year old voice actress so desperate for attention that she repeatedly replies to the same tweet ?
Clearly , this will be a stain on John Bolton ’ s legacy for all time .

In the draft excerpt published by The New York Times, Bolton claimed that President Trump was suspending aid to Ukraine until he received dirt from them on Joe Biden. The Left thought that this was huge and demanded that Bolton be a witness in the Senate hearing.
The Democrats were suddenly able to look past that Bolton was a stalwart Republican and involved in every GOP administration since Reagan, dismissed his history of being hawkish on national security, and generally ignored that he was the walking embodiment of everything that they reviled. They did this because he might have been able to give testimony against Trump.
That “strange, new respect” didn’t last long, however.

Reporting that alleges the Trump Administration dissolved NSC offices related to our biodefense are both false and misleading. Listen to those who ran the effort. This is a must-read for everyone who values truth over politics in a time of crisis. https://t.co/2AAsJMqrm0 — John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) March 16, 2020
Morrison writes that President Trump gets a fair amount of criticism, some of it is warranted, much is not. This unwarranted criticism extends to the Media(D) questioning his response to the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in December. Morrison notes that the criticism is notably partisan and coming largely from former Obama officials in an election year.
It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious.
Morrison said that when he joined the National Security Council staff in 2018, he inherited “strong and skilled staff in the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate.” The team of experts accomplished much including the National Biodefense Strategy of 2018, an executive order to modernize influenza vaccines, and coordinated the United States’ response to the Ebola epidemic. Still, there was some bloat in the department.
It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, congressional oversight committees and members of the Obama administration itself all agreed the NSC was too large and too operationally focused (a departure from its traditional role coordinating executive branch activity). As The Post reported in 2015, from the Clinton administration to the Obama administration’s second term, the NSC’s staff “had quadrupled in size, to nearly 400 people.” That is why Trump began streamlining the NSC staff in 2017.
This was done by consolidating three directorates into one because of the overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, and global health and biodefense. This reorganization is what critics have jumped on and misrepresented. He writes, “If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled.”
The reduction of force in the NSC has continued since I departed the White House. But it has left the biodefense staff unaffected — perhaps a recognition of the importance of that mission to the president, who, after all, in 2018 issued a presidential memorandum to finally create real accountability in the federal government’s expansive biodefense system. The NSC is really the only place in government where there is a staff that ensures the commander in chief gets all the options he needs to make a decision, and then makes sure that decision is actually implemented. I worry that further reductions at the NSC could impair its capabilities, but the current staffing level is fully up to the job.
Morrison continues by saying that we are “less safe” when public servants are distracted because they’re dragged into politics, Americans are “recklessly scared into doubting the competence of their government to keep them safe, secure and healthy” and when we focus on political gamesmanship instead of the real issues.
For example, we should be united behind ensuring that, in a future congressional appropriations package, U.S. companies are encouraged to return to our shores from China the production of everything from medical face masks and personal protective equipment to vitamin C and penicillin. And we should be united in demanding to know why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was aware of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan early in December, maybe even November, and didn’t tell the rest of the world, when stopping the deadly spread might have been possible.
He then blasts the Media(D) for banging the drum on “fake information aimed at our elections” while ignoring the Chinese propaganda pushing back on the term “Wuhan virus” but the claim that COVID-19 was created by the U.S. Army despite public health officials pointing to the wild-animal market in Wuhan as the source of the outbreak.
He closed the article this way:
There are real threats emanating from this pandemic. We need to focus on getting our response right and save the finger-pointing for what comes after. This is the United States — we will get through this. And for the love of God, wash your hands.

Journos and other lefty Twitter blue-checks lambasted Bolton for sharing the article, some citing leftist “fact-checker” Snopes as a “take that John Bolton!” reply.
One of CNN’s legal analysts, Elie Honig, thought the tweet was hilarious.
Los Angeles sports reporter, Molly Knight blasted Bolton for refusing to testify in the impeachment hearings.
Georgetown Professor, Don Moynihan, had the same sort of reply.
It was a common refrain.
But the most damning was from the voice of She-Ra from the Netflix children’s cartoon. Man, did Bolton tick off what’s her name!
She posted a series of tweets about a minute apart which, presumably, is how long it took for her to formulate her blistering comments.
How will Bolton ever recover from those damning replies from an obscure 31-year old voice actress so desperate for attention that she repeatedly replies to the same tweet?

These are The New ( Social Justice ) Warriors coming to the Marvel Universe… If you read superhero comics as a kid , you won ’ t even recognize the genre anymore .
It ’ s no longer just about heroes fighting villains , it ’ s about social justice and leftwing ideals .
The world of comics has become inundated with leftwing “ wokescolds ” who insist that past comics were sexist and entrenched “ white supremacy ” in their depictions of the world .
They ’ ve taken it upon themselves to rectify it and create the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comics .
It ’ s a diverse , inclusive world where every identity group is celebrated and given their own hero .
The New Warriors is a prime example of how they are attempting to achieve this goal , and it ’ s pretty awful .
Daniel Kipplesmith who is the writer for The New Warriors says that the original team has shifted from being the rebels to the authority figures that are mentoring a new group of under 21 heroes .
The new team is quite the group… Snowflake is female but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can generate individual , crystalized snowflake-shaped shurikens to throw at enemies .
Safespace is a “ jock ” who wears hot pink and can create forcefields , but only to protect someone else .
The rest of the team is just as lame .
This is the techy , geeky-cool teen who just can ’ t ever unplug from the internet .
He knows everything because he can instantly Google anything .
To put it simply , he ’ s obnoxious .
You can ’ t have teens without the goth outcast with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s name isn ’ t just a play on a blood-type for a hero with a “ vampiric ” power , it ’ s also a play on the embracing of the negative attitude expressed by many young people .
What could possibly go wrong with this ?
I ’ m not sure that Marvel meant to create a morbidly obese Dora the Explorer , but that ’ s precisely who Trailblazer is .
She ’ s a group home and foster kid who volunteers at a senior center , so she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — just like Dora .
She is committed to helping others — just like Dora .

Daniel Kipplesmith who is the writer for The New Warriors says that the original team has shifted from being the rebels to the authority figures that are mentoring a new group of under 21 heroes. The new team is quite the group…
Snowflake and Safespace
Snowflake is female but identifies as non-binary using they/them pronouns and can generate individual, crystalized snowflake-shaped shurikens to throw at enemies. Safespace is a “jock” who wears hot pink and can create forcefields, but only to protect someone else.
According to Marvel:
Psychic Twins. “All twins are psychic, but we’re psychic-er.” Snowflake, a cryokinetic, can materialize snowflake-shaped shuriken projectiles for throwing. Safespace can materialize pink forcefields, but he can’t inhabit them himself, the reflex only works if he’s protecting others. They’re hyper aware of modern culture and optics, and they see their Super Heroics as “a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.” They’re probably streaming this.
I thought this was a parody at first, but Marvel is introducing two social justice characters named Snowflake and Safespace. Snowflake is non-binary. They are part of Marvel's "The New Warriors." pic.twitter.com/dYr7iW7ZcT — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) March 18, 2020
The rest of the team is just as lame.
Screentime
This is the techy, geeky-cool teen who just can’t ever unplug from the internet. He knows everything because he can instantly Google anything. To put it simply, he’s obnoxious.
A Meme-Obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather’s “experimental internet gas.” Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps, and can instantly Google any fact. Does this make him effectively a genius? He sure acts like it does.
B-Negative
You can’t have teens without the goth outcast with body modification, right? This character’s name isn’t just a play on a blood-type for a hero with a “vampiric” power, it’s also a play on the embracing of the negative attitude expressed by many young people. What could possibly go wrong with this?
A teen “living vampire” exposed to Michael Morbius’s blood as a child in a rogue, but life-saving medical procedure. He still ages like a regular kid, but has all the abilities of Morbius. He’s also obsessed with all the music and attitude of a “classic” long-past decades like the ’90s, and the ’00s. “The world is a vampire…and so am I.”
Trailblazer
I’m not sure that Marvel meant to create a morbidly obese Dora the Explorer, but that’s precisely who Trailblazer is. She’s a group home and foster kid who volunteers at a senior center, so she’s kind of on her own — just like Dora. She is committed to helping others — just like Dora. She has a magic backpack that has useful items that she can use on her adventures — just like Dora.
A regular kid scooped up into the world of teenage Super Heroing. Her “magic backpack” is actually a pocket dimension with seemingly infinite space, from which she can pull out useful or random objects—it’s not always under her control. She claims to get her power from god, but “not the god you’re thinking of.” Source: Marvel
