Accurate criticism is invaluable when we want to correct our mistakes .

Disproportionate complaint is not a substitute for good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as xenophobic and reactionary when he stopped visitors from China entering the US due to the Wuhan virus .

In contrast , if the president kept the quarantine in place for six months , he would be blamed for destroying the economy and locking people out of work .
The president will be blamed for doing too little , doing too much , acting too early , and acting too late .

Those complaints on the news might sell car insurance , but they aren ’ t helpful when we try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do .
We ’ ve seen some socialists governments ignore the virus until many people were infected at once .
That means we can do too little and do it too late .
We know that unemployment leads to addiction and suicide .
We already have states where the number of suicide deaths exceeds the number of deaths from the Wuhan virus .
That means we don ’ t want to do too much for too long .
We don ’ t want to make the cure worse than the disease , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve spoken to doctors I respect .
They suggested we quarantine people whose health is at risk if they caught the virus so they don ’ t all get the virus at once .

The media ignored the fact that New York State hid ventilators they had in storage while Governor Cuomo complained on the news that people were dying due to lack of ventilators .
The media ignored that California ’ s Democrat governors sold their state ’ s mobile emergency hospitals , ventilators , and hospital supplies .
The media ignored that the Obama-Biden administration disregarded three government reports that highlighted the lack of ventilators in hospitals .

clashdaily--2020-04-02--Right Or Ridiculous? OANN Kicked Out Of WH Press Briefings For This Violation

A Right-Of-Center network ’ s reporter is getting the boot , despite the drama we saw in 2018 with Jim Acosta fighting for his ‘ right ’ .
OANN said they had permission .
Who ’ s right , here ?
Trump himself once took a jab at reporters for sitting too closely together for ‘ social distancing ’ guidelines .
They seem to have taken that message to heart .
They have since been strictly enforcing it .
So strictly , in fact , that one network has just been disinvited from the briefings because of it .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , claims she was there with White House permission .
Under strict new guidelines jointly imposed last month by White House officials and the White House Correspondents ’ Association , which represents journalists , access to the cramped briefing room is now restricted to about 15 reporters each day , to enforce social-distancing measures amid the coronavirus crisis , and several smaller news organizations can rotate in only once every several days .
And it wasn ’ t OANN ’ s turn on Tuesday .
Nor on Wednesday , when Rion showed up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ correspondents ’ association to vote to remove OANN from the rotation .
“ We did this because a reporter for this outlet twice attended press briefings in contravention of this policy , ” the board of the WHCA said in a statement late Wednesday .
“ We do not take this action lightly .
This is a matter of public safety.
” Rion and her employer , a tiny conservative cable outlet known as OANN , appear to have gotten special permission from the White House , in violation of the guidelines .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the approval , are unclear , but OANN and Rion have a history of reporting favorably about Trump .
Rion herself has pushed conspiracy theories that advance his political interests , such as the unfounded allegation that officials in Ukraine secretly manipulated the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton .
Trump , in turn , has tweeted praise of OANN ’ s reporting dozens of times .
The White House , in effect , on Tuesday bent the rules – which were designed to ensure the health of journalists , the president and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – in granting access and a national spotlight to a correspondent from an obscure but Trump-friendly news outlet .
—CHRON [ emphais added ] It ’ s the President ’ s own briefing .
Does his administration have the right to extend an invitation to a reporter of their choosing ?
Or nah ?
( Especially when that network speaks with a different voice than the majority of their competitors ? )
This is the reporter at the center of the controversy : Here are some reactions to the decision : Here ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : What do you think is really going on here ?
Is she being kicked out for safety violations ?
Or is she being singled out for being a dissenting voice from the lockstep critical voices coming from the left ?

Here are some reactions to the decision:
The WHCA defended a reporter who tried to pick a fight with White House guest and now it pretends to be concerned about "safety" in trying to ban @OANN!? @realdonaldtrump should guarantee a seat for @OANN at all pressers! https://t.co/YeGIpNqHen https://t.co/O1Ekiz8W0v — Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) April 2, 2020

b) CNN https://t.co/kdM3ezVwRI — Greg Price (@greg_price11) April 1, 2020
Here’s some broader context for the story:
Yesterday @WHCA was tweeting about how coronavirus is being used to suppress press freedoms. Today they’re kicking @OANN out of White House press briefings. You can’t make this stuff up. The WHCA is acting like an enemy of press freedom. They should have all power stripped ASAP. pic.twitter.com/DfMWyLC8fe — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) April 2, 2020
Possible implication?
They control the seating chart, not room access or credentials. She'll still be there – and apparently she doesn't mind standing. — Michael (Socially distant before it was cool) (@MkHmmr) April 1, 2020
(And one person quipped that they should remove all the chairs.)
What do you think is really going on here?
Is she being kicked out for safety violations? Or is she being singled out for being a dissenting voice from the lockstep critical voices coming from the left?


clashdaily--2020-04-02--Engineer Admits He Deliberately Ran Train Off The Rails In An Attempt To Hit Hospital Ship USNS Merc

Engineer Admits He Deliberately Ran Train Off The Rails In An Attempt To Hit Hospital Ship USNS Mercy

What the heck was this guy thinking ?
This is just such a bizarre story .
Eduardo Moreno , a 44-year old train engineer , admitted that he deliberately ran a train off of the tracks at high speed near the port of Los Angeles on Tuesday in an attempt to crash into the USNS Mercy , a hospital ship that has been deployed to the area to ease the burden on hospitals dealing with coronavirus patients .
The train stopped 250 years from his intended target .
Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno , 44 , of San @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying he thought it was “ suspicious ” and did not believe “ the ship is what they say it ’ s for . '
” The train crashed into a concrete barrier at the end of the track , smashed through a steel barrier and a chain-link fence , slid through one parking lot and then a second lot filled with gravel and hit a second chain-link fence .
It came to rest after passing under a ramp leading to the Vincent Thomas Bridge .
The train remained in that position Wednesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort of wild , tinfoil hat conspiracy theory about why the Navy ’ s hospital ship is taking in non-coronavirus patients .
No one was injured in the derailment , but the train did leak fuel which required a hazmat response .
Authorities say Moreno admitted to crashing the train intentionally , but said he did not plan it out in advance .
It is believed that he acted alone .
He allegedly made statements to a CHP officer that included “ You only get this chance once .
The whole world is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t know what ’ s going on here .
Now they will.
” Officials say video from inside the train ’ s cab shows Moreno holding a lighted flare during the incident .
U.S. Attorney ’ s Office , Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison .

What the heck was this guy thinking?
This is just such a bizarre story.
Eduardo Moreno, a 44-year old train engineer, admitted that he deliberately ran a train off of the tracks at high speed near the port of Los Angeles on Tuesday in an attempt to crash into the USNS Mercy, a hospital ship that has been deployed to the area to ease the burden on hospitals dealing with coronavirus patients.
The train stopped 250 years from his intended target.
Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was “suspicious” and did not believe “the ship is what they say it’s for.'” The train crashed into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smashed through a steel barrier and a chain-link fence, slid through one parking lot and then a second lot filled with gravel and hit a second chain-link fence. It came to rest after passing under a ramp leading to the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The train remained in that position Wednesday.
It sounds like Moreno has some sort of wild, tinfoil hat conspiracy theory about why the Navy’s hospital ship is taking in non-coronavirus patients.
No one was injured in the derailment, but the train did leak fuel which required a hazmat response.
Authorities say Moreno admitted to crashing the train intentionally, but said he did not plan it out in advance. It is believed that he acted alone. He allegedly made statements to a CHP officer that included “You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will.” Officials say video from inside the train’s cab shows Moreno holding a lighted flare during the incident. Source: ABC 7
According to The Washington Post, Moreno told prosecutors that he thought that the naval hospital vessel was there for a “government takeover” and that “they are segregating us, and it needs to be put in the open.” He didn’t believe that the vessel was there for the stated purpose of easing the burden on hospitals in the area by allowing them to focus on patients with the coronavirus. He said that the idea just “popped into his head” and he just went for it.
Prosecutors say Moreno was “suspicious of the USNS Mercy,” believing officials were lying about its true purpose. He believed “it had an alternate purpose related to covid-19 or a government takeover,” they said….
…“I don’t know. Sometimes you just get a little snap and man, it was fricking exciting,” Moreno told detectives. “I just had it and I was committed. I just went for it. I had one chance.”… …At the last minute, Moreno lit a flare. He looked up at the camera, raising his middle finger to it. Then, just before the train smashed through the concrete barriers, he stuck the flare out the window, keeping it there all the way through impact.
He told the detectives, “I can’t wait to see the video.”
U.S. Attorney’s Office, Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.

NYTimes Finally Admits Trump Was RIGHT About Coronavirus Treatment–Here’s Where Media(D) Got It WRONG

The knee-jerk reaction that journalists have to counter everything that the President says because “ Orange Man Bad ” is shameful .
It would appear that there are some news organizations out there that are determined to oppose President Trump no matter what .
This means that they will do anything to prove that he is wrong–even going so far as to spread Chinese propaganda .

One of the absolute worst examples of Trump Derangement Syndrome in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President was spreading “ false hope ” by mentioning the possibility that some drugs–specifically chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine–showed some promise in treating COVID-19 patients .
Trump was citing information that had been provided by experts , including some seemingly successful treatment of COVID-19 in other countries using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine .

Listen, I’ve got no idea if this’ll work. But the key takeaway, in case not obvious: journalists, don’t rush to criticize the president (or anyone else!!) over something we don’t have much information about yet, especially when people’s lives are at stake. Just report. — Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) April 1, 2020
There is still more testing to be done with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, but the point (as Holden made in his last tweet,) is that there were many in the media that were quick to dismiss a possible treatment simply because of who had mentioned it. That kind of bias doesn’t help anyone.

clashdaily--2020-04-02--Border Agents Seize Nearly $30 Million In Drugs After Discovering 2,000-Foot Border Tunnel

Isn ’ t this exactly what Trump caught heat for referencing during his daily press updates ?
When Trump took time out from one of his daily Chinese Coronavirus pressers to bring attention to the ongoing work of law enforcement still targeting drug networks to disrupt them , media critics dismissed it as unimportant or at best , unrelated .
But is it ?
After all , Pelosi announced that she wanted to divert ALL wall funding into Coronavirus research .
That ’ s not a cheap , cynical political play at all , right ?
But we ARE still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of wall built , we are able to deploy law enforcement resources more effectively .
Because we ’ re no longer stretched as thin dealing with groups of a hundred or more in a single crossing point , we can catch things we might otherwise have missed in the confusion .
“ If cartels keep spending millions of dollars building tunnels , we will keep finding and filling them , ” said U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer .
“ This time , we seized a jaw-dropping $ 30 million worth of dangerous drugs that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streets .
This is the most valuable single-day tunnel seizure in recent memory , and it is the largest seizure of multiple drugs in a single tunnel .
This takedown is even more significant in the face of a global pandemic , where stopping the movement of unauthorized people and packages across international borders is of utmost importance.
” Brewer praised the excellent work of the San Diego Tunnel Task Force in locating and dismantling yet another cross-border drug tunnel , especially the efforts of AUSA Orlando Gutierrez .
That same press release @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agents on the San Diego Tunnel Task Force uncovered a sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel on Thursday , March 19 , which extends under the United States-Mexico border to a warehouse in a commercial complex in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego .

… “ I ’ m immensely proud of the dedication and diligence of agents on the task force to shut down this tunnel .

But is it?
After all, Pelosi announced that she wanted to divert ALL wall funding into Coronavirus research. That’s not a cheap, cynical political play at all, right?
But we ARE still patrolling our borders, and with sections of wall built, we are able to deploy law enforcement resources more effectively. Because we’re no longer stretched as thin dealing with groups of a hundred or more in a single crossing point, we can catch things we might otherwise have missed in the confusion.
From the ICE press release:
“If cartels keep spending millions of dollars building tunnels, we will keep finding and filling them,” said U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer. “This time, we seized a jaw-dropping $30 million worth of dangerous drugs that aren’t going to reach the streets. This is the most valuable single-day tunnel seizure in recent memory, and it is the largest seizure of multiple drugs in a single tunnel. This takedown is even more significant in the face of a global pandemic, where stopping the movement of unauthorized people and packages across international borders is of utmost importance.” Brewer praised the excellent work of the San Diego Tunnel Task Force in locating and dismantling yet another cross-border drug tunnel, especially the efforts of AUSA Orlando Gutierrez.

There are perks when you’re the “Notorious RBG.”
Despite being in the high-risk category if the 87-year old were to contract the coronavirus, Justice Ginsburg is still heading out to the Supreme Court health facility to work out regularly while being supervised by her personal trainer.
This is happening while many Americans are told to “shelter at home” and public gyms around the country are being closed due to the easy transmission of coronavirus through contact with shared equipment.
Law360 reports:
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been enjoying exclusive access to a private workout space at the court during the coronavirus pandemic, as her doctors have deemed her training sessions “essential to her well-being.” The court said Wednesday that, at the 87-year-old justice’s request, it set aside “limited private space” by its health facility for her to use for her famous exercise regimen. In a statement, the court said “[t]he space is being used exclusively by the justice. No other justices are using the space, and the employee gym is closed to all users.” The statement comes after Law360 reported Tuesday that Justice Ginsburg had still been holding her in-person workout sessions with longtime personal trainer Bryant Johnson during the coronavirus crisis, at a time when the Supreme Court has been closed to the public and oral arguments indefinitely postponed.
It’s good to be one of the ruling elites.
Justice Ginsburg’s personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, says that precautions are being taken to prevent the 4-time cancer survivor from contracting the coronavirus–he has canceled his work with any other clients, and they are careful to wipe down equipment, wash their hands, and maintain an appropriate social distance.
“Everybody’s been shut down. The only reason why I didn’t shut the justice down is because, hey, she ain’t having it,” said Johnson, who spent over 30 years in the U.S. Army and now works in D.C.’s federal district court. “She has that grandfather status to me and if she wants to train, that’s the least that I can do.” Source: Law360
Justice Ginsburg has survived health scares in recent years which have been a huge concern for progressives who fear that she could be replaced by a Trump appointee. Her latest health issue was a tumor on her pancreas that was treated with radiation in 2019. She has also had surgery to remove cancer from her lung in 2018, battled both pancreatic and colorectal cancer in 2009 and 1999 respectively.
The Supreme Court reporter for The New York Times tweeted that Justice Ginsburg requested that an area be set aside for her to exercise and that no one else is using the space.
"The space is being used exclusively by the Justice. No other Justices are using the space, and the employee gym is closed to all users.” 2/2 — Adam Liptak (@adamliptak) April 1, 2020
What makes Justice Ginsburg so special that she can flout the “shelter in place” order and go and work out in a public gym? Is it simply because her doctors have said that she should continue to exercise? She doesn’t need to go to the SCOTUS gym to do it. Other Americans are having to adapt and make do with what they have on-hand or order what they need online.
This is arguably worse than Bill de Blasio heading over to the YMCA for “one last workout” before the lockdown order was in effect. After all, de Blasio wasn’t even remotely in the same category of risk as the “Notorious RBG.”

And now we have proof that this was the plan all along .

We can expect a LOT of fingerpointing and ZERO real authority on the part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Will this look into the role of WHO lying to us about the threat levels ?

Will it even put fire to the feet of Congress ’ s own role in their legislation , red tape , or spending priorities as relates to the current crisis — including agency impediments that prevented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Will it look at failures of past administrations — including Bush and Obama — failing to restock needed supplies after the LAST major medical threat ?
We all know the answer to that , don ’ t we ?

And this panel is how the woman who proudly called herself part of the ‘ resistance ’ sees her shot at finally putting a fork in her hated rival .
She ’ s willing and eager to use the vast powers fo the state to accomplish this take-down… all in the name of ‘ public service ’ of course .
And she has the nerve to call TRUMP a ‘ danger to democracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from their failure to drag out the impeachment process for additional weeks or months , and before that had come to a final verdict , Trump was already on record at the SOTU saying : Pelosi ripped up that speech , claiming it was nothing but lies .
Democrats loudly denounced Trump ’ s steps at closing the border to traffic from China , claiming it was ‘ racist ’ and ‘ xenophobic ’ .
Democrats , including Pelosi , encouraged further mixing and mingling in crowds — and specifically within Chinese communities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prove to Chinese people that they did not share the president ’ s supposed Xenophobia .
But she won ’ t be looking into any of that .
Or that fact that around the time Trump was holding Coronavirus meetings in January , Pelosi was giving out commemorative Impeachment pens with her name on it .
And of course , the reason Impeachment went well into February was not ONLY because Democrats resisted every attempt to streamline the hearings ( they wanted to milk the TV ratings , and hammer Trump for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sat ON the articles of impeachment and originally refused to deliver them .

We’re old enough to remember when Pelosi said that using the government to destroy a political rival was ‘impeachable’.
Trump is working with Americans in business and government — regardless of party affiliation — to keep America from veering off into either of two disastrous ditches: medical mass casualties on one hand and absolute economic collapse on the other end.
And what has Pelosi been doing in that time?
Pelosi stalled and tried to derail an agreement that Senators from both sides had been hammering out so she could stuff it full of irrelevant pork projects and Green New Deal initiatives. Because of her, the deal was stalled for days.
From here in the cheap seats, it almost seems like she is TRYING to maximize the pain of ordinary citizens. Just like ‘comfortable-in-his-secure-job-and-gated-community’ Bill Maher was in hoping for a recession so that it could get him the government he really wants. (Who cares if savings get wiped out, family businesses go belly up, or masses of blue-collar families are thrown into poverty, so long as it takes down ‘Orange Man Bad’ your future is a sacrifice Liberal Elites are perfectly willing to make.)
And now we have proof that this was the plan all along. Long before the threat has been fully wrestled with, she has officially weaponized the Wuhan Chinese Coronavirus into an inquiry against Trump.
She’s launching an Inquiry.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday announced the creation of a special House committee charged with overseeing the unprecedented, multi-trillion dollar federal response to the coronavirus pandemic. Pelosi has tapped Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), the Democratic whip, to lead the bipartisan panel, which will be authorized “to examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus and ensure the taxpayers dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent.” “The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gauging, profiteering and political favoritism,” she told reporters on a press call. “We need transparency and accountability.” — The Hill
Yeah. We’ve seen THIS movie before. We can expect a LOT of fingerpointing and ZERO real authority on the part of the token Republicans in the process.
Will this look into the role of WHO lying to us about the threat levels? Will this look into the impact of China failing to report — and actively DESTROYING evidence — that would have been critical in getting ahead of this threat?
Will it look into whether States have properly prepared for this?
Will it even put fire to the feet of Congress’s own role in their legislation, red tape, or spending priorities as relates to the current crisis — including agency impediments that prevented a rapid response to the looming threat?
Will it look at failures of past administrations — including Bush and Obama — failing to restock needed supplies after the LAST major medical threat?
We all know the answer to that, don’t we?
The woman who tried to build emissions rules into a financial relief bill, the woman who threw $25 Million at the Kennedy Center who laid off their employees HOURS after getting relief passed, the woman who has ALREADY claimed that Trump personally has blood on his hands when even BIDEN won’t go that far, desperately wants to lay the entire blame for the current crisis on the shoulders of Trump and his government.
And this panel is how the woman who proudly called herself part of the ‘resistance’ sees her shot at finally putting a fork in her hated rival.
She’s willing and eager to use the vast powers fo the state to accomplish this take-down… all in the name of ‘public service’ of course.
And she has the nerve to call TRUMP a ‘danger to democracy’.
While Democrats were still stinging from their failure to drag out the impeachment process for additional weeks or months, and before that had come to a final verdict, Trump was already on record at the SOTU saying:
Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the Coronavirus outbreak in China. My Administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.
Pelosi ripped up that speech, claiming it was nothing but lies.
Democrats loudly denounced Trump’s steps at closing the border to traffic from China, claiming it was ‘racist’ and ‘xenophobic’.
Democrats, including Pelosi, encouraged further mixing and mingling in crowds — and specifically within Chinese communities like ‘Chinatown’ or attending parades to prove to Chinese people that they did not share the president’s supposed Xenophobia.
But she won’t be looking into any of that. Or that fact that around the time Trump was holding Coronavirus meetings in January, Pelosi was giving out commemorative Impeachment pens with her name on it.
Congress’s inaction to Virus ? cost lives. Congress needs to be held accountable for their failure to put Americans health & safety first. While Pelosi was passing out pens.

And of course, the reason Impeachment went well into February was not ONLY because Democrats resisted every attempt to streamline the hearings (they wanted to milk the TV ratings, and hammer Trump for longer) but also because Pelosi infamously sat ON the articles of impeachment and originally refused to deliver them.
SHE BLINKED FIRST: Pelosi Will Send Articles Of Impeachment To Senate Next Week
Was this because she wanted to drag it out for ratings, or to hurt Trump, or was she quietly waiting on the delivery of her custom gold pens? We’ll probably never know.
The related stories on this topic are particularly damning for her. Exactly the things she’s hoping we’ve all forgotten. With everything moving so quickly, is there anything in there you’d already forgotten?

Dan Bongino’s Tweet Exposes Joe Scarborough ‘Everyone Saw This Coming In January’ Claim As A Blatant Lie

The way that the anti-Trump media is implying that the President isn ’ t taking the coronavirus threat seriously is utterly appalling .
On Wednesday morning , Joe Scarborough told his 2.2 million viewers , “ Everybody saw this coming in early January.

We didn ’ t .
Because accurate information on the coronavirus wasn ’ t being reported by China .
Besides , we were all paying very close attention to a pretty big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
David Harsanyi at National Review wrote that “ armchair quarterbacks ” are trying to rewrite history on the coronavirus .
Harsanyi notes that we were all very focussed on the impeachment of the President to pay attention to a “ flu-like illness ” in China as it was being reported at the time .
( He ’ s correct . )
Does “ everyone ” include the World Health Organization , which claimed in a January 14 tweet ( reflecting earlier findings ) that preliminary investigations into Chinese authorities found “ no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ novel coronavirus ” ?
Does “ everyone ” include the Chinese government — whose propaganda Scarborough shares as reliable data ?
Because it was China ’ s downplaying and lying about coronavirus that ensured its spread around the world .
The blood is on their hands , not on the hands of your least favorite American politicians .
In early March , when reporters were fixated on a vacuous debate over the political correctness of affixing “ China ” to the virus ’ s name , researchers at the University of Southampton released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVD-19 cases would have been prevented around the world if the Communist regime had acted three weeks earlier .
If China had intervened just one week earlier , there would have been an 66 percent mitigation , while two weeks would have led to 86 percent fewer cases .
Bongino tweeted an image of a number of headlines from the Media ( D ) that downplayed the risk of COVID-19 .
This isn ’ t even to say that the Partisan Presstitutes and the Democrats were irresponsible in their reporting at the time–they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available .
Even the CDC , the World Health Organization , and other experts didn ’ t believe it was a threat because they didn ’ t have complete information .
They didn ’ t have complete information because China was lying and continues to lie .
On January 27 , Morning Joe had Dr. Dave Campbell on telling viewers to worry about the flu not the coronavirus .
( Elliot corrected the date in the tweet with the video , but “ corrects the correction ” to January 27 . )
Scarborough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on February 7 , then doesn ’ t come back to the very urgent pending pandemic until three weeks later .
Dr. Zeke Emanuel , the expert that Joe was talking to in the April 1 clip , didn ’ t see this coming , either .
Check out his comments on the Thom Hartmann Program on January 29 .
Dr. Emanuel said , “ whatever this coronavirus is , it is very , very , very , very unlikely to be that severe.
” He also said that it wasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some global pandemic.
” This was all based on the information that was coming out of China at the time .
Can you imagine Scarborough ’ s outrage if President Trump had been raising warnings about the coronavirus while the Media ( D ) was downplaying it ?
Scarborough would call the President xenophobic and say that he was “ fearmongering ” in order to make his big power grab and finally , finally become that Hitleresque dictator that they ’ ve claimed he has been this whole time .
Oh , wait @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State of the Union Address while the Democrats were busy impeaching him .

No, Joe. We didn’t. Because accurate information on the coronavirus wasn’t being reported by China. Besides, we were all paying very close attention to a pretty big news item happening in our own country.
David Harsanyi at National Review wrote that “armchair quarterbacks” are trying to rewrite history on the coronavirus. Harsanyi notes that we were all very focussed on the impeachment of the President to pay attention to a “flu-like illness” in China as it was being reported at the time. (He’s correct.)
Does “everyone” include the World Health Organization, which claimed in a January 14 tweet (reflecting earlier findings) that preliminary investigations into Chinese authorities found “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus”? Does “everyone” include the Chinese government — whose propaganda Scarborough shares as reliable data? Because it was China’s downplaying and lying about coronavirus that ensured its spread around the world. The blood is on their hands, not on the hands of your least favorite American politicians. In early March, when reporters were fixated on a vacuous debate over the political correctness of affixing “China” to the virus’s name, researchers at the University of Southampton released a study indicating that 95 percent of COVD-19 cases would have been prevented around the world if the Communist regime had acted three weeks earlier. If China had intervened just one week earlier, there would have been an 66 percent mitigation, while two weeks would have led to 86 percent fewer cases. Source: National Review
One tweet by Dan Bongino exposed Scarborough’s blatant lie.
Bongino tweeted an image of a number of headlines from the Media(D) that downplayed the risk of COVID-19.

On January 27, Morning Joe had Dr. Dave Campbell on telling viewers to worry about the flu not the coronavirus. (Elliot corrected the date in the tweet with the video, but “corrects the correction” to January 27.)

Scarborough himself asked a basic question about it on February 7, then doesn’t come back to the very urgent pending pandemic until three weeks later.
Took awhile, but I’ve found the first time Scarborough offers any kind of commentary on the Coronavirus. It’s from Feb. 26th … only about 2 months after he said “everybody” was talking about it pic.twitter.com/klOfkc87oi — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 1, 2020
Dr. Zeke Emanuel, the expert that Joe was talking to in the April 1 clip, didn’t see this coming, either. Check out his comments on the Thom Hartmann Program on January 29. Dr. Emanuel said, “whatever this coronavirus is, it is very, very, very, very unlikely to be that severe.” He also said that it wasn’t very likely to “break out into some global pandemic.”
This was all based on the information that was coming out of China at the time.

clashdaily--2020-04-03--Trump Just Ripped 3M A New One — Here’s Why

President Trump has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for private businesses stepping up and being the difference-makers in this Chinese Coronavirus crisis .
So why did he go off on 3M ?
If there are two words that could best sum up the ‘ Trump Doctrine ’ of leading the country , it would be his own phrase ‘ America First ’ .
His critics over-think it by assuming this must mean he has ill-will toward foreigners .
But that ’ s overthinking it .
We see the very same dynamic play out in families .
Most of us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kids .
Are our kids somehow ‘ better ’ than the neighbor ’ s kid , or that we would curb stomp them in the street ?
Of course not .
Trending : Engineer Admits He Deliberately Ran Train Off The Rails In An Attempt To Hit Hospital Ship USNS Mercy No .
We respond differently to them because our RELATIONSHIP to our kids is more prized than our relationship to some stranger ’ s kid .
As it should be .
This is something that globalists have entirely lost sight of .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cross purposes to the well-being of American citizens — even endangering American lives .
And he got pissed off at them .
What were they doing that set him off ?
They were ‘ bumping down ’ State-level American purchases of N95 masks — including official State purchasing agents from places like Florida that are facing a crisis .
It ’ s one thing to point fingers at politicians and blame them .
It ’ s quite another to identify the places where we are losing needed hospital supplies to foreign markets even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid for by US governments .
3M is at least one of the companies Gov Desantis is referring to here… The private market for respirator masks , collection swabs , hand sanitizer and other supplies critical for front line workers has become a profit-driven frontier where bidding wars drive up prices , orders are promised but never delivered and vendors are not always who they appear to be , according to interviews and statements by Florida government officials and hospital executives .
“ It ’ s shady as hell , that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DeSantis said Thursday during a news conference in his Tallahassee office .
Though Florida has received shipments of masks from the federal government in recent weeks , DeSantis said he is frustrated by the state ’ s experience buying masks on the private market only to find out the supplies never arrived .

His critics over-think it by assuming this must mean he has ill-will toward foreigners. But that’s overthinking it. We see the very same dynamic play out in families.
Most of us would sacrifice nearly anything to help our kids. Are our kids somehow ‘better’ than the neighbor’s kid, or that we would curb stomp them in the street? Of course not.
No. We respond differently to them because our RELATIONSHIP to our kids is more prized than our relationship to some stranger’s kid. As it should be.

Trump heard that 3M was working at cross purposes to the well-being of American citizens — even endangering American lives. And he got pissed off at them.
