Dr. Woo-Ju says that the coronavirus came from bats , but that there was an intermediary host–either pangolins or snakes and then to humans .
The death rate is very high on average at 2 % to 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it varies by country .
This is because of the differences in quarantine measures , quality of healthcare , and demographics .

The problem is that they can still spread the virus to those at risk .
After age 60 , Dr. Woo-Ju says that your immune system deteriorates and can not fight the virus , which can lead to pneumonia .

” “ We should be taking every precaution .
What the President , his denial at the beginning was deadly , ” Pelosi said in an exclusive interview with CNN ’ s Jake Tapper on “ State of the Union.
” As US cases surge , Pelosi questioned when Trump was informed about the coronavirus and his knowledge on its potential impact .
“ I don ’ t know what the scientists said to him , when did this President know about this , and what did he know ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ he know it ?
That ’ s for an after-action review .
But as the President fiddles , people are dying .
And we just have to take every precaution.
” Asked by Tapper if she believes Trump ’ s downplaying of the crisis has cost American lives , Pelosi responded , “ Yes , I am .
I ’ m saying that.
” “ Because when he made the other day when he was signing the bill , he said just think 20 days ago everything was great .
No , everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ We had nearly 500 cases and 17 deaths already .

In one tweet , Jennifer Rubin , alleged conservative , exposed herself for the TDS sufferer that she is .

It’s weird that Jennifer used the phrase at all. It seems to really get under her skin because she tweeted about it a bunch of times. Here’s a small sample:

It’s also pretty rich coming from someone who spouts Chinese propaganda that calling it the “Chinese virus” is racist.
Instead of trying to concoct a racial boogyman (“Chinese virus”), he spoke about social solidarity https://t.co/UCsVMbiOAO — Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) March 23, 2020
And she’s blaming Trump for reacting slowly despite the administration being slammed as “xenophobic” for instituting travel restrictions from China in January.

Despite all the criticism that Trump is a “dictator” and “Hitleresque” Rubin has criticized him for not being more authoritarian.

Jennifer Rubin has gone all-in with her anti-Trumpism and is actively rooting for Joe Biden. Yet, I’m sure she still sees herself as a “conservative blogger.”
Ironically, she is precisely the problem with the Media(D)–they don’t even see that the people that they choose to give the “conservative” perspective aren’t conservatives at all. That is a problem with the partisan press–they don’t have anyone that accurately represents the other side. It’s not something that they’re willing to correct, and Jennifer Rubin is unlikely to acknowledge that she is, at heart, a liberal hack.


clashdaily--2020-03-31--USOFF: A Discussion About Guns

USOFF: A Discussion About Guns

A little over a year ago , there was going to be a minor skirmish regarding the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution .
Deerfield , Illinois had come up with a plan to ban “ assault weapons ” under what was a rather cloudy ordinance .
The council ’ s theory was , I believe , that not enough people would even notice the passing of the ordinance and once it WAS passed , it would have the force of law .
In their apparent wisdom , they failed to take into account the activists on the side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do battle on whatever detrimental wording was being put forth .
As it was written and presented to the council the gun ban ordinance contained language that would have allowed confiscation and destruction of so-called “ assault weapons ” and their original capacity magazines , and levy fines of up to $ 1,000 a day against anyone who refused to surrender their guns .
The council was basing this new ordinance on one that was adopted a few years ago that was designed to “ regulate ” firearms after the state passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an alert pro-gun activist group kept this abomination of an ordinance from becoming law .
My belief is that , had this gone through and become law in Deerfield , it would have been copied by other towns close by .
After all , you don ’ t want to have all those gun owners moving out of Deerfield and into YOUR town , do you ?
Of course not .
That ’ s tongue-in-cheek satire , but it doesn ’ t show up in print .
Anti-gunners are a curious lot…at least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given day , somewhere in the United States , one of them is voicing something about guns…a subject they seem to know little or nothing about .
They will call semi-automatic rifles machine guns , magazines will become clips , and almost to a man , the AR15 will be labeled as an assault rifle .
They will tell you to your face that the AR designation MEANS “ assault rifle ” when , in fact , it has absolutely nothing to do with that .
The “ AR ” in “ AR-15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the company that developed it in the 1950s .
“ AR ” does NOT stand for “ assault rifle ” or “ automatic rifle.
” If someone calls an AR-15-style rifle an “ assault weapon , ” then they ’ ve been duped by an agenda .
Nevertheless , and as we ’ ve seen , facts mean nothing to the anti-gunner crowd .
Trending : Hey CNN : Biden ’ s Campaign Advisor Memory-Holed All Her MeToo Tweets — Is That News ?
Machine guns , which fire continuously when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different from semi-automatic weapons which require a pull on the trigger for every round fired .
There ’ s a world of difference in that .
Machine guns , for all practical purposes , have been banned from private use since 1930 , but does that mean that they can not be owned ?
No .
What it does mean is that you apply to ATF ( Alcohol , Tobacco , and Firearms ) for a PERMIT .
It ’ s a very costly process , it takes a long time , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you may not get it even though you might have already paid all the fees .
Added in to that is the enormous cost of one of these weapons and you ’ ll understand why 99.9 % of the gun-owning public doesn ’ t have one .
Listen to most anti-gunners and your head will be swimming in murky waters ginned up by the know-nothings of the opposition .
In home defense , it ’ s ludicrous to figure that the invaders are going to use anything but what they consider to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and more , is being countered AND defeated by semi-automatic weapons and more of those are either AR rifles or AK rifles .
Either of these weapons is readily available ( following the background check , of course , ) and they do marvelously well as home defense weapons BECAUSE they have firepower–lots of it , and in many cases the homeowner has the upper hand only because of that superior weaponry .
Every home invasion , because of the layout of the domicile , is going to be different .
In my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reach us the perpetrators have to come down a hallway .
I have a short-barrel 12 gauge pump shotgun for that very event .
Incidentally , it should be noted that the bad guys are very seldom going to be using rifles .
A long gun is not easily concealed , and in close quarters becomes more of a liability than an asset .
That means the bad guys are mostly going to have pistols .
Chicago , which probably has the strictest gun control laws in the country , has an extremely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in gang-on-gang shootings , handguns are used .
I ’ d go out on a limb and say that the biggest majority of shootings , of any type , are done with handguns…so that should suggest something .
A word or two here about “ snapping ” .
To the best of my knowledge , no test of any kind can predict accurately when , or if , a person is going to snap to the point where they will commit a heinous act .
Ask yourself , should EVERYONE be disarmed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guns ?
Every country that disarms its citizens has come to be something less than a nice place to live .
America survives as it does because we are armed , and we are sensible about it .
Parting shot : Don ’ t remember history ?
We became a nation in which guns are ours as a right .

A little over a year ago, there was going to be a minor skirmish regarding the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Deerfield, Illinois had come up with a plan to ban “assault weapons” under what was a rather cloudy ordinance. The council’s theory was, I believe, that not enough people would even notice the passing of the ordinance and once it WAS passed, it would have the force of law. In their apparent wisdom, they failed to take into account the activists on the side of the Second Amendment and their willingness to do battle on whatever detrimental wording was being put forth.
As it was written and presented to the council the gun ban ordinance contained language that would have allowed confiscation and destruction of so-called “assault weapons” and their original capacity magazines, and levy fines of up to $1,000 a day against anyone who refused to surrender their guns. The council was basing this new ordinance on one that was adopted a few years ago that was designed to “regulate” firearms after the state passed its preemption statute in 2013. Only an alert pro-gun activist group kept this abomination of an ordinance from becoming law. My belief is that, had this gone through and become law in Deerfield, it would have been copied by other towns close by. After all, you don’t want to have all those gun owners moving out of Deerfield and into YOUR town, do you? Of course not. That’s tongue-in-cheek satire, but it doesn’t show up in print.
Anti-gunners are a curious lot…at least in my not-so-humble opinion. On any given day, somewhere in the United States, one of them is voicing something about guns…a subject they seem to know little or nothing about. They will call semi-automatic rifles machine guns, magazines will become clips, and almost to a man, the AR15 will be labeled as an assault rifle. They will tell you to your face that the AR designation MEANS “assault rifle” when, in fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with that. The “AR” in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.” If someone calls an AR-15-style rifle an “assault weapon,” then they’ve been duped by an agenda. Nevertheless, and as we’ve seen, facts mean nothing to the anti-gunner crowd.
Machine guns, which fire continuously when the trigger is pulled once, are quite different from semi-automatic weapons which require a pull on the trigger for every round fired. There’s a world of difference in that. Machine guns, for all practical purposes, have been banned from private use since 1930, but does that mean that they cannot be owned? No. What it does mean is that you apply to ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) for a PERMIT. It’s a very costly process, it takes a long time, because they are investigating you thoroughly, and you may not get it even though you might have already paid all the fees. Added in to that is the enormous cost of one of these weapons and you’ll understand why 99.9% of the gun-owning public doesn’t have one. Listen to most anti-gunners and your head will be swimming in murky waters ginned up by the know-nothings of the opposition.
In home defense, it’s ludicrous to figure that the invaders are going to use anything but what they consider to be overwhelming force. That force, more and more, is being countered AND defeated by semi-automatic weapons and more of those are either AR rifles or AK rifles. Either of these weapons is readily available (following the background check, of course,) and they do marvelously well as home defense weapons BECAUSE they have firepower–lots of it, and in many cases the homeowner has the upper hand only because of that superior weaponry. Every home invasion, because of the layout of the domicile, is going to be different. In my home, as an example, to reach us the perpetrators have to come down a hallway. I have a short-barrel 12 gauge pump shotgun for that very event.
Incidentally, it should be noted that the bad guys are very seldom going to be using rifles. A long gun is not easily concealed, and in close quarters becomes more of a liability than an asset. That means the bad guys are mostly going to have pistols. Chicago, which probably has the strictest gun control laws in the country, has an extremely high crime and homicide rate. Even in gang-on-gang shootings, handguns are used. I’d go out on a limb and say that the biggest majority of shootings, of any type, are done with handguns…so that should suggest something.
A word or two here about “snapping”. To the best of my knowledge, no test of any kind can predict accurately when, or if, a person is going to snap to the point where they will commit a heinous act. Ask yourself, should EVERYONE be disarmed, or only those who commit crimes with guns? Every country that disarms its citizens has come to be something less than a nice place to live. America survives as it does because we are armed, and we are sensible about it.

clashdaily--2020-04-01--Tucker Carlson: Chinese Report Links Coronavirus To Horseshoe Bats From Wuhan Research Facilities

A paper by Chinese researchers that has been available for several months is getting a second look as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads .

clashdaily--2020-04-01--China Was Buying Up Global Stock Of Medical Gear Weeks BEFORE Admitting Coronavirus Was An Epidemic

While the World Health Organization continues to praise China for its “ quick ” response to the novel coronavirus that first turned up in Wuhan , the rest of us with eyes know better .
The Guardian reported on March 13 that the first case of the novel coronavirus was noted on November 17 , 2019 , according to media reports of unpublished Chinese government data .
The man who appears to be “ patient zero ” is a 55-year old from Hubei province .
He and at least 265 other individuals that contracted COVID-19 were under “ medical surveillance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government announced that a new virus was spreading .
A writer posted on Twitter that a notice was posted to the PLA Naval University of Engineering in Wuhan dated January 2 , 2020 , issued a lockdown order due to reports of the spread of “ unexplained pneumonia ” in the area .
This was nearly three weeks before the Chinese government issued a warning on the coronavirus epidemic .
In addition to that , China has been pushing propaganda that the first case was brought to Wuhan by an American cyclist and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. Army .
It is this disinformation , ( that has been embraced as true by many in China , ) that has President Trump pushing back and calling it a “ Chinese virus.
” China lied to the World Health Organization that the disease was not being spread human-to-human , and has used the WHO to push their own propaganda .
It has become increasingly clear that this was deliberate .
China knew that it was serious early on and did nothing to warn the rest of the world .
Instead , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supplies and using a government-backed real estate company to do it .
The Sydney Morning Heraldreported the Greenland Holdings Group instructed employees from receptionists to contract managers in its Sydney offices to find surgical masks , thermometers , antibacterial wipes , among other supplies , to ship to China .
“ Basically all employees , the majority of whom are Chinese , were asked to source whatever medical supplies they could , ” one company insider told the Herald .
The mission was conducted from January through February , according to the report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of countries across the globe , and the directive was a “ worldwide Greenland effort , ” the Herald reported .
Employees were able to source “ pallet-loads ” of medical supplies and even posted updates of the efforts on social media .
In total , the company was able to secure 3 million masks , 700,000 hazmat suits , and 500,000 pairs of gloves from “ Australia , Canada , Turkey and other countries , ” according to a company newsletter .
China produces medical masks but after the outbreak kept the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own use .
Canada sent 16 tonnes of medical gear to China to assist in clamping down on the spread , but Ottawa is now facing a shortage of that very same gear now that China has been hoarding it .
Now , China is beginning to share their medical equipment , but many of the items that they ’ ve donated from masks and other protective gear to test kits have been faulty .
This just makes President Trump , who has been pushing an “ America First ” and U.S. manufacturing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ escalator in Trump Tower , look like Nostradamus .
The deliberate withholding of information by China affected how other countries viewed the threat and the ability to prepare .
Dr. Birx said that U.S. officials didn ’ t realize that it would be a global pandemic because they thought it would be more like SARS due to the “ significant amount of data ” missing from reports from China .
China lied to the WHO from the get-go and they ’ re still lying .
They ’ ve said that they have no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far-fetched .
Unfortunately , some of our elitist betters in the Partisan Press and Democrat politicians are pushing Chinese propaganda so hard that some of them have been “ useful idiots ” for the Chi-Coms .
This is China ’ s fault .
Not the Chinese people , the communist Chinese government that hid the numbers , lied to the world , covered it up , and they are still lying .
China Lies and People Die .
Never forget it .

China lied, people died.

Canada sent 16 tonnes of medical gear to China to assist in clamping down on the spread, but Ottawa is now facing a shortage of that very same gear now that China has been hoarding it.
Now, China is beginning to share their medical equipment, but many of the items that they’ve donated from masks and other protective gear to test kits have been faulty.
This just makes President Trump, who has been pushing an “America First” and U.S. manufacturing agenda from the moment he descended that escalator in Trump Tower, look like Nostradamus.
The deliberate withholding of information by China affected how other countries viewed the threat and the ability to prepare.
Dr. Birx said that U.S. officials didn’t realize that it would be a global pandemic because they thought it would be more like SARS due to the “significant amount of data” missing from reports from China.
Pandemic expert Dr. Deborah Birx says U.S. officials initially responded to the coronavirus outbreak the way that they did because they thought it was going to be "more like SARS" and not a "global pandemic" *BECAUSE* "we were missing a significant amount of the data" from China pic.twitter.com/yFkzqqDBHh — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) April 1, 2020
China lied to the WHO from the get-go and they’re still lying.
They’ve said that they have no new cases, but that seems really far-fetched.
Unfortunately, some of our elitist betters in the Partisan Press and Democrat politicians are pushing Chinese propaganda so hard that some of them have been “useful idiots” for the Chi-Coms.
This is China’s fault. Not the Chinese people, the communist Chinese government that hid the numbers, lied to the world, covered it up, and they are still lying.
China Lies and People Die. Never forget it.

Following the creation of the Woods File , the case agent signs the “ FD-1079 FISA Verification Form ” ( Woods Form ) to affirm “ the accuracy of each and every factual assertion… and that back-up documentation for each such fact has been retained ” in the Woods File .
The supervisory special agent is also required to sign the form , confirming that the supervisory special agent has reviewed the Woods File and determined that it contains supporting documentation for every factual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form must be completed prior to an application being submitted to the FISC .
The Woods File is meant to protect people from being unfailrly investigated .

After he found significant issues with the FBI’s Carter Page FISA warrants, Inspector General Michael Horowitz conducted a test to determine how rampant the problems with FBI FISA warrants were–and it wasn’t pretty. He took a sample of 29 FISA warrant applications to review–and found issues with all of them. In 25 applications, Horowitz’s team found “apparent errors or inadequately supported facts,” while in four of the cases, they were unable to find any Woods file at all. In three of those missing supporting documentation, it’s unclear if a Woods file was ever created. In other words, along with the CoronaVirus, Americans need to be afraid of losing their rights.
What is a Woods File?
Per Horowitz FBI policy requires the case agent who will be requesting the FISA application to create and maintain an accuracy sub-file (known as a “Woods File”) that contains: (1) supporting documentation for every factual assertion contained in a FISA application, and (2) supporting documentation and the results of required database searches and other verifications. Following the creation of the Woods File, the case agent signs the “FD-1079 FISA Verification Form” (Woods Form) to affirm “the accuracy of each and every factual assertion… and that back-up documentation for each such fact has been retained” in the Woods File. The supervisory special agent is also required to sign the form, confirming that the supervisory special agent has reviewed the Woods File and determined that it contains supporting documentation for every factual assertion within the FISA application. This form must be completed prior to an application being submitted to the FISC. The Woods File is meant to protect people from being unfailrly investigated.
What Did Horowitz Find
Per his summary report (embedded below)
We believe that the repeated weaknesses in the FBI’s execution of the Woods Procedures in each of the 29 FISA applications we reviewed to date— including the 4 applications for which the FBI could not furnish an original Woods File—raise significant questions about the extent to which the FBI is complying with its own requirement that FISA applications be supported by documentation in the Woods File as part of its efforts to ensure that
applications are “scrupulously accurate.”
In the documents that did have Woods files, the file contained an average of 20 errors. Think about this for a moment. Neither the person being investigated nor a designated attorney is involved in the FISA process to protect the rights of the person being investigated. That’s why Carter Page got screwed,
Our concerns are supported by the fact that in four instances the FBI could not produce the original Woods File, that the Woods File deficiencies that we identified spanned all eight field offices in which we performed fieldwork, that case agents or supervisors whom we interviewed generally did not contest our results, and that the FBI CDC and NSD OI accuracy reviews conducted for the same period of our review identified similar deficiencies. As a result, we do not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance with FBI policy, or that the process is working as it was intended to help achieve the “scrupulously accurate” standard for FISA applications.
Horowitz included an FBI response to his report within the document. Associate Deputy Director Paul Abbate wrote in the response, “We believe that the process errors identified in the OIG’s preliminary findings will be addressed by Director Wray’s previously ordered corrective actions.”
But Mr. Abbate, the American public believed the FBI was following the Woods procedures, somehow I find it difficult to believe Director Wray’s corrective actions will be followed.

State-Run Chinese Media Is Using Clips Of U.S. Reporters And Dem Politicians To Push Coronavirus Propaganda

When a propaganda machine can just rely on quotes from American journos and Democrats , there needs to be a serious period of self-reflection .
Becket Adams at The Washington Examiner pointed out that a video released by the state-run Global Times included clips of several reporters as well as some Democrat politicians to try to paint President Trump as racist for referring to COVID-19 as the “ Chinese virus.
” The Global Times , a state-run Chinese tabloid , released a video recently highlighting various U.S. media personalities and Democratic leaders , who have pushed the Beijing-approved talking point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus by its country or city of origin .
The video features CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo and NBC News ’ s Richard Engel .
The Chinese-produced propaganda also cites failed two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio .
The video includes a tweet by Hillary , who managed to find her way out from the bottom of the bottle of chardonnay , to call Trump a racist .
It also includes one by Mayor Bill de Blasio who blames Trump for the lack of test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Global Times blames the U.S. rather than China as the source of the disease .
A separate video produced by the Global Times highlights CNN ’ s Chris Cillizza ’ s claim that the U.S. president is “ weaponizing bigotry ” to distract from the federal government ’ s sluggish and unfocused response to the pandemic in America .
The video then questions whether the virus even really originated in Wuhan ( it did ) , again citing Cillizza ’ s commentary to argue that Trump is using China as a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response.
” “ Reelection concerns are driving the Trump administration ’ s intense attack on China as a ploy to divert public anger over the federal government ’ s poor controls , ” the propaganda video states .
“ They ’ ve indeed been quite incompetent .
Perhaps they can ’ t face their public without blaming China.
” It ’ s shameful that some reporters are some Democrats are so caught up in their Trump-hatred that they ’ re willing to spout Chinese talking points .
And let ’ s be clear–some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re doing but they ’ re doing it anyway .
These are the same people that get their hackles up when the President calls them the “ enemy of the people.
” If knowingly spouting Chi-Com propaganda isn ’ t being an “ enemy of the people ” then I ’ m not sure what is .

The video includes a tweet by Hillary, who managed to find her way out from the bottom of the bottle of chardonnay, to call Trump a racist.
The president is turning to racist rhetoric to distract from his failures to take the coronavirus seriously early on, make tests widely available, and adequately prepare the country for a period of crisis. Don't fall for it. Don't let your friends and family fall for it. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 18, 2020
It also includes one by Mayor Bill de Blasio who blames Trump for the lack of test kits.
If you’re looking for someone to pin this crisis on, try the guy who made up a phony Google website or promised testing kits that he STILL hasn’t delivered. Our Asian-American communities — people YOU serve — are already suffering. They don’t need you fueling more bigotry. https://t.co/jjcO7treC2 — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) March 17, 2020

It’s shameful that some reporters are some Democrats are so caught up in their Trump-hatred that they’re willing to spout Chinese talking points.
And let’s be clear–some of them know precisely what they’re doing but they’re doing it anyway.
These are the same people that get their hackles up when the President calls them the “enemy of the people.”
If knowingly spouting Chi-Com propaganda isn’t being an “enemy of the people” then I’m not sure what is.


clashdaily--2020-04-01--PRISON BREAK: NYC Mayor Releases Dangerous Criminals From Rikers

Adding insult to injury — some of the released convicts have murdered first responders .

What good is a token tribute of appreciation if their mayor just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for first responders ?
Who is looking out for their lives ?
Certainly not a mayor who is too ‘ woke ’ to consider the far-reaching effects of his own decisions .
In response to the Wuhan Chinese Coronavirus crisis , he has made a decision to release 650 people from Rikers prison .
Among the people he has released are two murderers who have killed — you guessed it — first responders .
That all five district attorneys and the special narcotics prosecutor are ripping the plan is telling .
De Blasio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the jails .

As of Sunday , the city had released about 650 .
The inmates Team de Blasio sought to let out , as The Post has reported , included Jose Gonzalez , Christopher Ransom and Jagger Freeman .
Gonzalez is accused of killing Bronx FDNY EMT Yadira Arroyo with her own ambulance .
Ransom and Freeman are accused of taking part in a Queens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death of NYPD Det .
