thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-30--Trump Throttles Reporter: ‘Be Nice … That’s Why No One Trusts The Media Anymore’

President Trump slammed a PBS reporter for constant negativity , advising her to “ be nice ” and suggesting the constant effort to ‘ get him ’ is why trust in the media is nearly non-existent .
Yamiche Alcindor , during a press briefing in the Rose Garden Sunday , asked President Trump about recent comments regarding the number of ventilators necessary as per requests from Democrat governors .
Trump has previously said he believed the demands would outweigh the actual need .
“ You said repeatedly that you think that some of the equipment that governors are requesting , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Alcindor said .
“ You said New York might not need 30,000 … ” That ’ s when the President suggested she engage in a little positivity .

Trump interjected, “I didn’t say that.”

You might find this hard to believe, but Alcindor took to social media and suggested Trump’s criticism of the ‘gotcha’ questions was a result of racism and misogyny.
“President Trump today at the White House said to me: ‘Be nice. Don’t be threatening.'” she wrote. “I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.”
Of course, Alcindor is the same person who previously accused Trump of turning the Republican Party into a white nationalist party.

Trump Treats All Media the Same Way
Alcindor has to play the victim card, naturally. It couldn’t possibly be just because the President is tired of the media trying to use the coronavirus crisis as a means to divide America.
This is a man doing what he can, with what he has, to steer the country through this crisis. But you have reporters constantly asking inane questions or making inane suggestions.

Trump Continues Hammering the Media
The showdown with Alcindor is just the latest battle President Trump has had with the media during this crisis.
This past week, he berated CBS News’ Paula Reid as “fake news” for insinuating his desire to reopen the country and get the economy going might be based on his “political interests.”
He then hammered CNN for a false report saying he “(has) no time for stupidity.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-30--President Trump Has Done The Right Things To Combat Coronavirus From Day One

President Donald Trump ’ s critics keep trying to downplay his extraordinary measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus in the United States , but the fact is that he has been thinking ahead of everybody when it comes to the pandemic response .
I can ’ t overstate how important it was that President Trump shut down travel from China , and then Europe , as soon as he did .
Without those travel restrictions , we would have had a much larger , much more widespread problem to deal with .
As we ’ ve seen in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failed on this measure , limiting exposure to infected individuals in the early stages is crucial to minimizing the eventual extent of the outbreak .
Yet , rather than commending the president for his foresight , the news media attack him as a “ racist ” for publicly acknowledging that the pandemic originated in China .
What is next ?
Are we to rename Chinese restaurants because it ’ s “ racist ” to the People ’ s Republic of China ( PRC ) and its communist government ?
In January , President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ force composed of world-class health and public policy experts who have patiently guided the public through the crisis and are working closely with businesses and the leaders of state and local governments to devise both mitigation strategies and long-term solutions .
This complex tapestry of private/corporate/government/military cooperation has never been done before—we will see it pay off for the American people .
Yes , there was intelligence being provided to the White House and the administration in January and February—many of us , inside and outside of the administration , were reviewing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while the mainstream media and political Left focused on impeachment .
We were trying to ascertain the facts and realities regarding the Chinese coronavirus threat to prepare —not panic— the nation .
Unfortunately , as some of those very experts have pointed out , our country ’ s efforts to combat the coronavirus have been hampered by the poor decisions of previous administrations , which left us ill-equipped to respond to the type of threat we face today .
There was a critical blind spot in our initial assessment , a blind spot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government .
Because of the Chinese Communist Party ’ s stonewalling and deception regarding Wuhan and the scope of the outbreak , and our lack of independent “ biological surveillance ” capabilities , the assessment was hampered .
The Obama administration was similarly short-sighted when it came to employing big data techniques to conduct global disease surveillance .
While the White House did make some half-hearted efforts to develop a domestic biological surveillance program , Obama ’ s team ultimately deferred to the World Health Organization ’ s system , which has repeatedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the part of countries such as China .
This lack of independent biological surveillance by the U.S. intelligence community is an issue that must be fixed to detect new outbreaks early .
Our ability to conduct an aggressive response was also hampered by another Obama administration neglect .
In response to the first outbreaks of Ebola virus in the late-1970s , the U.S. government created the Aeromedical Isolation and Special Medical Augmentation Response Team ( AIT-SMART ) in 1978 to safely evacuate highly contagious U.S. patients out of outbreak areas .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Medical Containment Suite , where they could receive intensive care while remaining under the most stringent biosafety protocols , known as Biosafety Level 4 .
Through comprehensive planning and intensive training , the AIT-SMART teams became adept at repatriating infected Americans without exposing other citizens to the risk of contagion .
In 2010 , however , this critical capability was lost when AIT-SMART fell victim to the Obama-era “ sequestration ” cuts .
It almost felt like nature was warning us of our folly four years later , when a new outbreak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because we lacked the expertise to safely repatriate infected Americans from the hot zone .
Another key fact that has been lost by the U.S. media is this : President Trump realized shortly after his election that the country ’ s ability to rapidly produce a vaccine was a critical part of national defense neglected by the Obama administration .
He consequently launched a multi-year effort to develop the latest cell culture-based technology for vaccine manufacturing on U.S. soil , most particularly for influenza and emerging disease agents like the coronavirus .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neglect .
President Trump ’ s calm and confident demeanor when he updates the country about our effort to fight the coronavirus is only possible because he took the threat seriously from the very beginning .
As a leader , he has to take practical steps to stop the virus and mitigate the damage it causes to our economy , but he also has to offer moral leadership to sustain morale as he asks the American people to make necessary sacrifices for the common good .
Indeed , the president ’ s message @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he gives—and with good reason .
With each passing day , we increase the arsenal of weapons available to fight the coronavirus , and understand better how to deploy them .
Even some of Donald Trump ’ s most stalwart critics , such as Democrat Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar , have gushed about how “ incredible ” his response to the pandemic has been .
To quote the president , when this is all over , “ we ’ re gon na say , well , we won .

This complex tapestry of private/corporate/government/military cooperation has never been done before—we will see it pay off for the American people.
Yes, there was intelligence being provided to the White House and the administration in January and February—many of us, inside and outside of the administration, were reviewing and evaluating this information as national security professionals while the mainstream media and political Left focused on impeachment. We were trying to ascertain the facts and realities regarding the Chinese coronavirus threat to prepare —not panic— the nation.
Unfortunately, as some of those very experts have pointed out, our country’s efforts to combat the coronavirus have been hampered by the poor decisions of previous administrations, which left us ill-equipped to respond to the type of threat we face today.

While the White House did make some half-hearted efforts to develop a domestic biological surveillance program, Obama’s team ultimately deferred to the World Health Organization’s system, which has repeatedly fallen short due to inadequate reporting compliance on the part of countries such as China. This lack of independent biological surveillance by the U.S. intelligence community is an issue that must be fixed to detect new outbreaks early.

In 2010, however, this critical capability was lost when AIT-SMART fell victim to the Obama-era “sequestration” cuts.

Another key fact that has been lost by the U.S. media is this: President Trump realized shortly after his election that the country’s ability to rapidly produce a vaccine was a critical part of national defense neglected by the Obama administration.

Actress Rosanna Arquette of “ Pulp Fiction ” and “ Desperately Seeking Susan ” fame just became the latest Hollywood star to let her Trump Derangement Syndrome get out of control when she tweeted out the phrase “ Trump Genocide , ” seemingly blaming the president for coronavirus deaths despite the fact that this is a global pandemic that started in China .

Former Barack Obama Campaign Chair Jon Cooper also tweeted out the hashtag , including the terms # TrumpVirus and # TrumpPandemic as well .

On Friday , she claimed that “ American citizens are dying daily ” because of the president .
“ The president of the United States of America is cruel , vindictive , evil and deeply immoral , ” she tweeted .
“ American citizens are dying daily because of him and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across the country .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-29--More Americans Should Be Wearing Masks – It’s Common Sense Right?

As the COVID-19 ( coronavirus ) pandemic continues to spread , some experts have started to question official guidance about whether ordinary , healthy people should protect themselves with a regular surgical mask .
People just need to start using common sense .
When you hear that a virus is spreading rapidly , start wearing your mask or something protective to prevent from catching this .
From The Beginning , We ’ ve Gotten Terrible Advice If the thousands of people who were infected had worn a mask before they knew they were infected , they wouldn ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assume they are infected and wear a mask to contain their germs instead of waiting for confirmation from a test .
MORE NEWS : Jim Carrey Makes New Anti-Trump Cartoon After Pledging To Stop Creating Political Pieces The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said masks don ’ t necessarily protect healthy individuals from getting infected as they go about their daily lives .
Then why were they made in the first place ?
What ’ s the purpose ?

As the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic continues to spread, some experts have started to question official guidance about whether ordinary, healthy people should protect themselves with a regular surgical mask.
People just need to start using common sense. When you hear that a virus is spreading rapidly, start wearing your mask or something protective to prevent from catching this.
From The Beginning, We’ve Gotten Terrible Advice
If the thousands of people who were infected had worn a mask before they knew they were infected, they wouldn’t have infected as many people. Everyone should assume they are infected and wear a mask to contain their germs instead of waiting for confirmation from a test.

The real reason the guidance is not to wear a mask is for purely psychological purposes. They just don’t look healthy in our society; therefore, people tend to be uneasy when they see them in public.
Hong Kong is a next-door neighbor with China, and they are all wearing masks before the virus occurs, so look at the data they had very few cases. So the mask did protect the virus because we do not know who has the virus and who has not. Better safe than sorry. That what I suggest my kids wear a mask when they go out publicly.

NRA Sues California Governor Gavin Newsom And LA County Sheriff Alexander Villanueva Over Illegally Closing Gun Stores

In a move intended to exploit a national health crisis and worldwide pandemic ( courtesy of the corrupt Communist Chinese Party ) , California Governor Gavin Newsom ( D ) issued an order that allowed county sheriffs to declare gun stores non-essential businesses .

In a move intended to exploit a national health crisis and worldwide pandemic (courtesy of the corrupt Communist Chinese Party), California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued an order that allowed county sheriffs to declare gun stores non-essential businesses. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alexander Villanueva, who has a far-leftist reputation for not playing well with other law officers (he hates ICE), doesn’t have any affection for the Second Amendment contained in the document he swore an oath to protect and defend—the U.S. Constitution.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), according to Fox News, doesn’t intend to allow this exploitation of a crisis to go down without a fight. Friday, the NRA filed a lawsuit in federal court, challenging Newsom and Villanueva’s anti-gun rights actions. Villanueva originally ordered gun stores shuttered but had to reverse himself when the county attorney said it probably wasn’t legal. Then, according to Bloomberg News, the gun rights-hating sheriff reversed his reversal and reordered gun stores re-shuttered after the governor gave him the okey-dokey to be a fascist.
As in New Jersey and other jurisdictions across the country, leftist politicians want people already feeling vulnerable to feel even more so. Shredding their oath to protect their citizens, these leftist officials yank away the people’s self-defense rights just when they feel they need it most. As I’ve said before, if you take away a person’s right to get the most efficient method of self-protection (including its modifications, repair, and ammunition), you’ve effectively taken away that person’s most efficient means of personal protection.
The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is joining other gun rights organizations, activists, and firearms businesses in the suit. Jason Ouimet, executive director of the NRA-ILA, issued a statement: “Municipalities who target lawful gun stores for closure aren’t promoting safety—by weaponizing their politics to disarm you and your loved ones, these shameless partisans are recklessly promoting a gun-control agenda that suffocates your self-defense rights when you need them most.”
Leftist public officials across the nation are not letting this serious crisis go to waste. They’re using it to infringe on Americans’ self-defense rights while at the same time they are releasing criminals from jails and prisons to prey on people the governor and sheriff would prefer can’t protect themselves. And they’ve also de-criminalized many crimes, so cops can’t enforce real offenses against real victims. The behavior by government officials is unconscionable, especially during a national emergency where Americans have a heightened concern for their and their families’ health and safety.
The impetus to disarm people at any time, never mind when they’re feeling most vulnerable, is obviously unethical, even immoral—if you think about it. But that’s not the way of these leftist political pirates, is it? If people stop to think objectively, critically, educate themselves about what the Second Amendment means and does, they will likely arrive at similar conclusions: that their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are secured by that one sacred right to self-defense. So, for the Left, they can never, ever stop to think about it—and they certainly don’t want you to.

Donald Trump Jr. Takes A Stand For Christians After NYT Tries To Blame Coronavirus Pandemic On Evangelicals

Donald Trump Jr. just took a huge stand for Christians everywhere after The New York Times published a story blaming the coronavirus crisis on evangelical Christians .
In a piece titled “ The Religious Right ’ s Hostility to Science Is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response , ” contributor Katherine Stewart wrote that a “ denial of science and critical thinking among religious ultraconservatives now haunts the American response to the coronavirus crisis.
” Stewart ’ s original title of the story was “ The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals , ” according to Breitbart News .
Stewart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is known to have covered up the initial outbreak of the virus which has since cost countless lives all over the world .
Christians , particularly in America , had absolutely nothing to do with it , yet they are still an easy scapegoat for the radically Left folks at The New York Times .
Thankfully , Trump Jr. was on-hand to call out Stewart and The New York Times as a whole for their offensively bigoted story .
Alongside a link to a Breitbart News article about Stewart ’ s anti-Christian attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they ’ re totally silent on China and even ran with the communist regime ’ s talking points .
The new lows keep coming.
” Trump Jr. ’ s critique is spot on , as usual .
This is the same media that lost their minds when President Donald Trump simply referred to coronavirus as the “ China virus ” because that ’ s where it originated .
Mainstream media outlets called this “ racist , ” yet they have no problem blaming Christians for it in the most bigoted way possible .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christians are the enemy in the United States , and they are willing to blame absolutely anything on them , regardless of how outlandish .
Thank goodness we have a president like Trump in power , whose family will always have Christians ’ backs .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-28--A Wartime President, Donald J. Trump Leads The Nation In Crisis

In 1942 the U.S.S .
Yorktown , an aircraft mauled at the Battle of Coral Sea , was thought sunk by the Japanese .
She survived and returned to Pearl Harbor .
But estimates of bringing her back to service were in the range of several months .
But CINC PAC Chet Nimitz needed her for the upcoming Battle of Midway NOW .
Navy workers striving around the clock put her back into action within a week .
The U.S.N.S .
Comfort , one of two U.S. hospital ships tasked with civil healthcare in time of domestic crisis , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To bring her up to full effectiveness was estimated to take another three and a half months .
CINC Donald Trump told those responsible for her he needed her in New York Harbor NOW .
She will be in New York Harbor on Monday .
That is how a president leads a nation in crisis .
…On Saturday afternoon I watched the president launch that ship from Norfolk .
His words , the ship , the music , the flags .
Am I the only person who was choked up ?
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this since 9-11 .
But 9-11 , Thank God , was one day and two locations .
We are in the third week of this fight .
The effect ranges all over the nation and touches all of us one way or another .
It goes deeper than that .
This , as the president has said , is wartime .
This is early 1942 and watching that ship and that leader , I count my lucky stars at this time in this place that I am an American .
But I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been in the thick of things before .
For me , that kind of adventure mostly passed with the old century .
However , like Ike at Telegraph Cottage before D-Day , Donald Trump is up to his neck in the battle and has a decision to make .
Does he give the go ahead of not ?
For Ike it was the weather and the German defenses .
If bad weather cancelled or postponed the invasion of France it could go bad for the boys of the First Infantry Division , my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Normandy .
If the Wehrmacht were on their toes it could go worse .
For President Trump it is what to lockdown and what to return to normalcy .
If he doesn ’ t quarantine the right places the virus will spread .
If he keeps the nation on ice too long the cure , as he has said , could be worse than the malady .
Ike lived on a hinge of fate , the lives of many counting on his decisions .
Trump faces the same call of destiny .
Ike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ break in the weather .
The New World went on to liberate the Old .
May the same Lord of Hosts guide the hand and the mind of our president , as he faces the same hinge of fate .

In 1942 the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft mauled at the Battle of Coral Sea, was thought sunk by the Japanese.
She survived and returned to Pearl Harbor. But estimates of bringing her back to service were in the range of several months. But CINC PAC Chet Nimitz needed her for the upcoming Battle of Midway NOW. Navy workers striving around the clock put her back into action within a week.
The U.S.N.S. Comfort, one of two U.S. hospital ships tasked with civil healthcare in time of domestic crisis, was in maintenance as of a week ago. To bring her up to full effectiveness was estimated to take another three and a half months. CINC Donald Trump told those responsible for her he needed her in New York Harbor NOW.
She will be in New York Harbor on Monday.
That is how a president leads a nation in crisis.
…On Saturday afternoon I watched the president launch that ship from Norfolk. His words, the ship, the music, the flags. Am I the only person who was choked up?
We hear Americans have not come together like this since 9-11. But 9-11, Thank God, was one day and two locations. We are in the third week of this fight. The effect ranges all over the nation and touches all of us one way or another.
9-11?
It goes deeper than that. This, as the president has said, is wartime. This is early 1942 and watching that ship and that leader, I count my lucky stars at this time in this place that I am an American.
But I am just a citizen. I’ve been in the thick of things before. For me, that kind of adventure mostly passed with the old century.
However, like Ike at Telegraph Cottage before D-Day, Donald Trump is up to his neck in the battle and has a decision to make. Does he give the go ahead of not?
For Ike it was the weather and the German defenses. If bad weather cancelled or postponed the invasion of France it could go bad for the boys of the First Infantry Division, my old unit, on the beaches of Normandy. If the Wehrmacht were on their toes it could go worse.
For President Trump it is what to lockdown and what to return to normalcy. If he doesn’t quarantine the right places the virus will spread. If he keeps the nation on ice too long the cure, as he has said, could be worse than the malady.
Ike lived on a hinge of fate, the lives of many counting on his decisions. Trump faces the same call of destiny. Ike proceeded with the invasion during a God-sent break in the weather. The New World went on to liberate the Old.
May the same Lord of Hosts guide the hand and the mind of our president, as he faces the same hinge of fate.

Tucker Carlson Says Biden ‘Will Not Be The Democratic Nominee:’ Predicts Who Will Take The Nomination Instead

Fox News host Tucker Carlson just predicted that former Vice President Joe Biden “ will not be the Democratic nominee ” who takes on Donald Trump in the presidential election come November .
Though Biden is still speculated to be the Democratic presidential frontrunner , he does not yet officially have the nomination .
On Friday , while appearing on Charlie LeDuff ’ s podcast “ No BS News Hour , ” Carlson said he believes that Democrats will find a way to remove the “ in decline ” Biden and replace him with someone who has a better chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the impending “ reorder of our politics ” because of the coronavirus pandemic , Carlson said , “ I am utterly convinced , and would bet money , that Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee on election day .
I just don ’ t believe that .
I really don ’ t. ” “ What did you say ?
” asked a clearly stunned LeDuff .
“ I sincerely and totally believe that Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee on election day , ” Carlson continued .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How does that math work ?
” another co-host asked .
“ Well , the math doesn ’ t work , but it ’ s not about math , it ’ s about will , ” Carlson explained .
“ So the Democratic Party is intent on taking power , period , period , and they mean it , and they ’ re willing to do kind of whatever they think works .
I mean that ’ s demonstrable.
” Carlson went on to say that Biden “ is not prepared ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump or “ lead the country , ” citing his mental decline as the reason why .
“ He shouldn ’ t be working still , ” he said .
“ I ’ m not being mean .
I know him .
I ’ ve always liked him .
But that ’ s true .
And so , those are two trains traveling toward each other at high speed .
Two competing imperatives .
We ’ ve got to win , but we ’ ve got a guy who can ’ t win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ na replace him.
” “ This is not the guy I ’ ve known , and you can ask anybody who knows him or has watched him , ” Carlson added .
“ This is not him .
He ’ s a completely different person , and he ’ s in decline and I feel bad about it .
That ’ ll be me someday … I hope somebody loves me enough to not let me run for president.
” Carlson also revealed who he feels will be nominated instead of Biden .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ would think Andrew Cuomo would be the most likely to replace Biden , ” he said , pointing out that former Vice President Hubert Humphrey won the Democratic nomination in 1968 despite not winning any of the state primary elections .
Biden ’ s mental state has long been called into question because of a number of bizarre television appearances he has made since entering the race , and they only seem to have gotten worse since the start of the coronavirus pandemic .
Even many Democrats can ’ t deny that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so it would not be too surprising to learn that they are scrambling to find a replacement for him .
It remains to be seen whether their efforts will pay off in November .

Hillary Clinton Hit With Backlash Over Joke About U.S. Leading In Coronavirus Cases: Trump ‘Did Promise America First’

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has found herself in hot water this week after she made an offensive joke about reports that the U.S. is leading in the number of coronavirus cases in the world .
It was reported on Thursday that the United States has outpaced China and Italy with 97,000 reported cases of coronavirus , according to Fox News .
On Friday afternoon , Clinton gleefully shared an article about this and tried to use it to attack President Donald Trump , the man who destroyed her own presidential dreams .
“ He did promise ‘ America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ referring to a campaign slogan that Trump often used against her in 2016 .
Unfortunately for Clinton , this tweet backfired on her when social media users fired back at her by letting her know that she had crossed the line .
“ Delete your account .
This isn ’ t the time .
This can ’ t be the new normal , where American tragedy is applauded for the sake of political opportunism , ” tweeted Rep. Dan Crenshaw , R-Texas .
“ This sort of vicious celebratory tone about Americans getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic is just appalling , ” wrote Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy .
National Republican Senatorial Committee senior advisor Matt Whitlock added , “ Hillary Clinton touting figures that are a result of Chinese disinformation to dunk on America and sick Americans is a pretty good reminder why she lost in 2016.
” Conservative commentator Mark Dice took the time to explain to Clinton why exactly the number of cases have gone up .
“ That ’ s because we ’ re testing a lot more people since tens of thousands with mild @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital because they ’ re coming down with a case of paranoia from watching too much ‘ news , ' ” Dice tweeted .
Many others piled on to Clinton as well : Despite the backlash , Clinton stood by the tweet in a statement released by her spokesman Nick Merrill .
“ The situation we find ourselves in was demonstrably avoidable , and pointing that out with a reference to the President ’ s empty rhetoric is nothing more than another way of pleading for him to lead , ” he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seems to be taking pleasure over America ’ s suffering simply because it is happening under President Trump ’ s watch .
