Senator Rand Paul brought a rare moment of reason and sanity to the questioning and testimony of White House coronavirus task force member , Dr. Anthony Fauci , Tuesday .
While the media have propped Fauci up as the only authority on what is the right and wrong path regarding opening up the economy , Paul – himself a physician – questioned past predictions and explained that “ one-size-fits-all ” lockdowns are “ kind of ridiculous.
” Paul ( R-KY ) suggested matters of the economy have to be taken into account , especially in areas not drastically affected by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to say this isn ’ t deadly , ” he observed , “ but really , outside of New England , we ’ ve had a relatively benign course for this virus nationwide.
” The media takeaway will be Fauci ’ s declaration that opening up the economy too soon may lead to “ serious ” consequences .
They won ’ t provide context for opening up in hotspots like New York City as opposed to rural areas .
“ There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which , in fact , paradoxically , will set you back , not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided , but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery , ” Fauci stated .
“ As much as I respect you , Dr. Fauci , I don ’ t think you ’ re the end-all , ” Paul said .
“ I don ’ t think you ’ re the one person that gets to make the decision .
We can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are people on the other side saying there ’ s not going to be a surge.
” In fact , Paul says he doesn ’ t believe there will be a surge .
“ We ’ re opening up a lot of economies around the U.S. , and I hope that people who are predicting doom and gloom , will admit that they were wrong if there isn ’ t a surge , ” he added .
“ Because I think that ’ s what ’ s going to happen.

Senator Rand Paul brought a rare moment of reason and sanity to the questioning and testimony of White House coronavirus task force member, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Tuesday.
While the media have propped Fauci up as the only authority on what is the right and wrong path regarding opening up the economy, Paul – himself a physician – questioned past predictions and explained that “one-size-fits-all” lockdowns are “kind of ridiculous.”
Paul (R-KY) suggested matters of the economy have to be taken into account, especially in areas not drastically affected by the pandemic.
“It’s not to say this isn’t deadly,” he observed, “but really, outside of New England, we’ve had a relatively benign course for this virus nationwide.”
Not the End-All
The media takeaway will be Fauci’s declaration that opening up the economy too soon may lead to “serious” consequences. They won’t provide context for opening up in hotspots like New York City as opposed to rural areas.
“There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you might not be able to control, which, in fact, paradoxically, will set you back, not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided, but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery,” Fauci stated.
“As much as I respect you, Dr. Fauci, I don’t think you’re the end-all,” Paul said. “I don’t think you’re the one person that gets to make the decision. We can listen to your advice, but there are people on the other side saying there’s not going to be a surge.”
In fact, Paul says he doesn’t believe there will be a surge.
“We’re opening up a lot of economies around the U.S., and I hope that people who are predicting doom and gloom, will admit that they were wrong if there isn’t a surge,” he added. “Because I think that’s what’s going to happen.”

Ridiculous
Paul also pointed out that models and predictions have been consistently wrong, making it absurd to rely on them as a means to dictate how to handle the economy.
“I think that one-size-fits-all, that we’re gonna have a national strategy and nobody’s gonna go to school, is kind of ridiculous,” he said. “We really ought to be doing it school district by school district, and the power needs to be dispersed, because, people make wrong predictions.”

In a conveniently leaked private call to supporters, he described Trump’s response to the coronavirus crisis as an “absolute chaotic disaster” and claimed that an isolationist mindset in government was responsible.

It’s clear McConnell doesn’t want to hear Obama’s nonsense any longer.

Michelle Obama And Tom Hanks’ ‘Non-Partisan’ Group Joins Radically Left ‘MoveOn’ To Demand Mail-In Voting

When Michelle Obama teamed up with Hollywood star Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson to create their nonprofit voter registration group When We All Vote , they claimed it would be “ non-partisan.
” Unsurprisingly , this has turned out to be a blatant lie , as the group has now joined forces with the radically leftwing MoveOn.org to push mail-in voting for the 2020 election .
MoveOn mentioned Michelle , Hanks , and Wilson in an email to its extensive email list calling on supporters to sign a petition that they have pledged to send to Congress .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ by adding your name to fight for safe and fair elections , ” the group wrote in the email , according to Breitbart News .
It went on to add that COVID-19 has created a need for a countrywide expansion of voting by mail .
“ With the threat of Covid-19 looming over the November election , Congress must act to ensure every American has the ability to cast their ballot safely and without unnecessary risk , ” MoveOn states on its petition page .
“ Tell your elected officials to expand access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online voter registration.
” The email makes it clear that Michelle ’ s “ When We All Vote ” nonprofit and MoveOn are shamelessly using the coronavirus pandemic to push their radical vote-by-mail-agenda as well as for expansions in both early in-person voting and online voter registration .
“ Vote-by-mail could be the only safe and secure option for some Americans , ” MoveOn says .
“ States must offer multiple options for requesting , receiving , and returning mail-in ballots while maintaining the security of our voting system ; multiple ways to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in person , by phone , and by mail ; and safe and secure options for returning ballots by expanding deadlines for mail-in ballots to be requested and returned.
” Those who are against vote-by-mail thrusts have pointed out that this is a completely unmonitored voting system that opens the door for tons of fake ballots to be produced and sent in by mail .
Elections expert Hans von Spakovsky recently said , “ it is , unfortunately , easy to not just engage in fraud in those kinds of elections , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be intimidated [ in their homes as they fill out ballots ] .
And that ’ s a cause for concern and should be a cause for concern for anyone interested in having an election process that is fair and has good security too.
” It was obvious all along that there would be nothing “ nonpartisan ” about Michelle ’ s When We All Vote group .
She doesn ’ t care about registering all Americans to vote , regardless of their political beliefs .
Instead , all she wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her radically liberal views so that she can create more Democrat sheep to lead to slaughter .

With the Durham investigation fast on his tail , his veep Joe Biden tanking over a weak campaign and rape charges , a wife who must be nagging him day in and day out over the start of her own political career , and a legacy that has been trashed by his successor , you ’ d think the disgraced 44th president would have enough on his plate .
But then , just when Barack Hussein Obama could start to contemplate a momentary breather , a past scandal and boondoggle , long-forgotten by the press who covered it up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his law-ignoring Attorney General Eric Holder .
Yes , Fast and Furious , the sequel but not to the movie , is hitting the media courtesy of all people , the Mexicans .
It was a dumb stunt that may have had a nefarious undertone , as U.S. agents ran guns to the Mexican drug cartels supposedly hoping to track the guns and thus cartel operations .
We somehow thought we ’ d get all the weapons back .
But an official review of the program found that only 710 out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ February 2012 , according to the Department of Justice ( DOJ ) Office of the Inspector General ( OIG ) .
So , the Obama administration , inadvertently or not , supplied the Mexican drug cartels with 1,300 lethal weapons to kill their own business competitors and also massacre innocent people across Mexico .
Now , the Mexicans want answers .
Here is their president : “ How could this be ?
A government that invades in this way , that flagrantly violates sovereignty , international laws , ” said President Andres Manuel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week .
Apparently Snr .
Presidente is not familiar with the standard operating procedures of what was the Obama administration .
This might have all continued to be yesterday ’ s news if it was not for the persuasive abilities of Donald Trump .
The two presidents , Trump and Lopez Obrador , are very different politically .
Trump is a conservative and Lopez Obrador is a classic Latin American heart-on-your-sleeve leftist .
There ’ s even a touch of Juan Peron about him .
But both men are populists and both men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , they have personally bonded .
That ’ s why they are working so well together on border issues and 27,000 Mexican troops are now guarding their side of our mutual border .
Those soldiers are stopping illegal immigrants before they get close to our side .
What was that the president said in 2016 about getting the Mexicans to pay for our border security ?
Well , there it is .
Thus it is very possible Trump dropped a hint in his pal ’ s ear and all of a sudden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least afford it , Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard says this on Monday , “ The [ Mexican ] government requests that it be provided with all the information available regarding the ‘ Fast and Furious ’ operation.
” “ All the information.
” Wonder if Eric Holder is checking on the status of his Cuban visa right now .
And the disgraced 44th president ?
He is relatively secure in the media and cultural edifice he has built around himself .
The New York Times , Netflix , and other levers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American consequences regarding the actions of his regime .
But this isn ’ t coming from America .
This is coming from south of the border and at just the right time to coincide with a slew of other issues for Obama… Have a nice summer and fall , Barry .

The opinions expressed by contributors and/or content partners are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Political Insider.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-12--Limbaugh: Obama Flailing With Criticism Of Trump Because He Got Caught In Collusion Hoax

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of dialing up the criticism on his successor because he got caught in the Russia collusion scandal .
Limbaugh pointed out that Obama was “ now in the news all of a sudden ” and “ for what ?
” “ He ’ s trashing Trump on corona .
He ’ s blaming Trump for coronavirus .
He ’ s blaming him for the virus , ” he explained .
“ He ’ s blaming him for the reaction to the virus .
He ’ s blaming him for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” President Trump on Monday made the point that Obama has been speaking out against his administration , something most former Presidents have graciously declined to do .
Trump also suggested it was his turn to start investigating Obama tweeting , “ He got caught , OBAMAGATE !
” Limbaugh concurs with the connection , suggesting Obama ’ s public comments in a conveniently leaked conversation to the media are signs of concern for the former President .
“ Why is [ Obama ] doing this ?
” he rhetorically asked .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama collaborated with the FBI to invent the Russia collusion scandal.
” Obama flailed in trying to blame the Trump administration for what he describes as a “ chaotic ” response to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ It ’ s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty .
It would have been bad even with the best of governments , ” he said .
“ It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘ what ’ s in it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with everybody else ’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government , ” Obama added .
Barack also commented on the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn , who documents show was essentially entrapped by his FBI and had charges dropped by the DOJ .
Obama claimed that the case being dropped was a sign that “ rule of law is at risk.
” Limbaugh advised that “ none of this Trump-Russia collusion stuff could have happened without Obama knowing about it , ” pointing to a “ famous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2017.
” That meeting featured former FBI Director James Comey , former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former DIA Director John Brennan all briefing Obama on the Flynn case .
Sidney Powell , Flynn ’ s lawyer , was asked if she believed the scandal reached up to Obama based on that meeting , to which she responded , “ Absolutely.
” “ Obama led a meeting on January 5th , 2017 , to plan how to sabotage Trump with the Russia collusion narrative , ” Limbaugh charged .
“ So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , it ’ s factual to say that Obama collaborated to invent the Russian collusion narrative , ” he continued .
“ That ’ s why Obama is taking all of his time and trying to focus on Trump and his supposedly horrible , chaotic response to the coronavirus.
” Limbaugh surmised , “ Obama knows he ’ s got buddies .
He knows he ’ s got sycophants .
He knows he ’ s got butt kissers in the Drive-By Media .
But he still needs to give them somewhere to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Trump ’ s supposed incompetence is Obama ’ s way of deflecting.
” The Justice Department shouldn ’ t lose focus even if Obama ’ s media pals do .
Earlier today , reports have indicated that Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified a list of former Obama administration officials who ‘ unmasked ’ Flynn , a possible felony .
The Russia collusion hoax has been thoroughly obliterated at this point .
Whoever was behind it needs to pay a price .
Obama knows this and he ’ s lashing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sting off his own tarnished reputation .

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of dialing up the criticism on his successor because he got caught in the Russia collusion scandal.
Limbaugh pointed out that Obama was “now in the news all of a sudden” and “for what?”
“He’s trashing Trump on corona. He’s blaming Trump for coronavirus. He’s blaming him for the virus,” he explained. “He’s blaming him for the reaction to the virus. He’s blaming him for the chaotic set of circumstances in the lockdown.”
President Trump on Monday made the point that Obama has been speaking out against his administration, something most former Presidents have graciously declined to do.
Got Caught
Trump also suggested it was his turn to start investigating Obama tweeting, “He got caught, OBAMAGATE!”
Limbaugh concurs with the connection, suggesting Obama’s public comments in a conveniently leaked conversation to the media are signs of concern for the former President.
“Why is [Obama] doing this?” he rhetorically asked. “Because it has been revealed that Barack Obama collaborated with the FBI to invent the Russia collusion scandal.”
Rush Limbaugh has a theory on why Barack Obama is suddenly in the headlines. The talk show legend reckons that Obama is slamming Trump on coronavirus as a way of ‘deflecting’ from the bogus Russia “collusion” revelations, for which Obama is culpable. https://t.co/HcWrguLGpm — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) May 12, 2020

Disaster
Obama flailed in trying to blame the Trump administration for what he describes as a “chaotic” response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments,” he said.
“It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government,” Obama added.
Barack also commented on the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who documents show was essentially entrapped by his FBI and had charges dropped by the DOJ.
Obama claimed that the case being dropped was a sign that “rule of law is at risk.”

Obama Helped Invent Russia Collusion
Limbaugh advised that “none of this Trump-Russia collusion stuff could have happened without Obama knowing about it,” pointing to a “famous Oval Office meeting on January 5th of 2017.”
That meeting featured former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former DIA Director John Brennan all briefing Obama on the Flynn case.
Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lawyer, was asked if she believed the scandal reached up to Obama based on that meeting, to which she responded, “Absolutely.”

“Obama led a meeting on January 5th, 2017, to plan how to sabotage Trump with the Russia collusion narrative,” Limbaugh charged.
“So it is not a stretch. In fact, it’s factual to say that Obama collaborated to invent the Russian collusion narrative,” he continued. “That’s why Obama is taking all of his time and trying to focus on Trump and his supposedly horrible, chaotic response to the coronavirus.”
Limbaugh surmised, “Obama knows he’s got buddies. He knows he’s got sycophants. He knows he’s got butt kissers in the Drive-By Media. But he still needs to give them somewhere to go.”
“So harping on Trump and Trump’s supposed incompetence is Obama’s way of deflecting.”
The Justice Department shouldn’t lose focus even if Obama’s media pals do.
Earlier today, reports have indicated that Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified a list of former Obama administration officials who ‘unmasked’ Flynn, a possible felony.
The Russia collusion hoax has been thoroughly obliterated at this point. Whoever was behind it needs to pay a price. Obama knows this and he’s lashing out to try and take some of the sting off his own tarnished reputation.

‘The View’ Tries To Humiliate Dallas Salon Owner Who Refused To Close Her Business – She Flips The Script On Them

On Monday ’ s episode of the ABC talk show “ The View , ” the liberal cohosts tried to take down Dallas beauty salon owner Shelley Luther , but she refused to back down and quickly flipped the script on the smug leftwing women .

Unsurprising , liberal cohost on “ The View , ” Sunny Hostin , immediately went after her during Monday ’ s appearance .
“ Shelley , coronavirus cases are already rising in Texas and across the country where restrictions have been lifted , and you ’ re worried about your staff and your customers , ” Hostin said .
“ I mean , I would assume you ’ re worried about your staff and your customers getting sick , since there ’ s now an uptick because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Though this was clearly meant to be an attack , Luther ignored it to instead flip the script and point out that the number of cases seemed to be increasing all over the country because there is now easier access to COVID-19 testing .
“ What we need to look at is the number of deaths , if that is plateauing at all , and to make sure that we have room in our hospital beds , ” Luther replied .
“ And Texas has plenty of room in their beds and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that need to come in at this time.
” “ As a matter of fact , there ’ s doctors and nurses getting furloughed because there ’ s not enough work , ” she added .
Later in the interview , Luther found herself being lectured by Whoopi Goldberg .
“ I would like to hear you put some of that fury and that passion toward the governments that didn ’ t take care of the people , because that ’ s what they ’ re supposed to do , ” Goldberg suggested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get out there and fight for all those folks who are not getting what they ’ re supposed to be getting , and not getting the information that they need , and then I think I ’ ll feel better about watching you tell people ‘ I ’ m feeding my people .

On Monday’s episode of the ABC talk show “The View,” the liberal cohosts tried to take down Dallas beauty salon owner Shelley Luther, but she refused to back down and quickly flipped the script on the smug leftwing women.
Luther headlines populated airwaves last week when she reopened her salon and refused to close it amidst the coronavirus pandemic, even when sentenced to spending days in jail. After public outcry, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott freed Luther, much to the dismay of liberals around the country who thought she belongs in jail simply for reopening her business to feed her family. Unsurprising, liberal cohost on “The View,” Sunny Hostin, immediately went after her during Monday’s appearance.
“Shelley, coronavirus cases are already rising in Texas and across the country where restrictions have been lifted, and you’re worried about your staff and your customers,” Hostin said. “I mean, I would assume you’re worried about your staff and your customers getting sick, since there’s now an uptick because of people not following the rules like yourself.”
Though this was clearly meant to be an attack, Luther ignored it to instead flip the script and point out that the number of cases seemed to be increasing all over the country because there is now easier access to COVID-19 testing.
“What we need to look at is the number of deaths, if that is plateauing at all, and to make sure that we have room in our hospital beds,” Luther replied. “And Texas has plenty of room in their beds and are able to care for the people that need to come in at this time.”
“As a matter of fact, there’s doctors and nurses getting furloughed because there’s not enough work,” she added.

I’ve heard the theory that the fall of the Soviet Union was caused by the waste of resources inherent in policing people that did not need to be policed.
They ended up with a bunch of people standing around waiting for someone that didn’t know what they were talking about to tell them what to do. That is a very accurate description of the Progressives.

They want to control the climate, but they don’t know how to clean the filth off the streets. They want to control health care, but they put coronavirus patients in nursing homes. They are incompetent morons with delusions of omnipotence.
Today, in the United States, we have one party that is actually communist. They want to rule completely, destroying the Constitution. It’s amazing how many people swallow tyranny hook, line, and sinker. They are totally exposed during this academic.
WHAT SEPARATES US
Conservatives believe in the American Revolution and the concept of freedom. Liberals believe in the French Revolution and the concept of equality. Freedom allows smart people with the ability to prosper while equality requires stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Freedom and equality are mutually incompatible.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS?
It could be time for the people to harken back to our mandate and once again do our duty for ourselves and posterity. And how exactly do we do this? With the vote?
I would argue that Americans are, by nature, very tolerant people and that our tolerance, evolved to apathy is galactically difficult if not impossible to reverse at this late date except by very extraordinary means. What is ‘our duty’?
WE NEED TO REMEMBER OUR DUTY
The Constitution, in which Americanism is defined, is violently antithetical to the leftist Democrat communist doctrine yet – monumentally important – it protects them in their push to destroy it while providing less and less protection for Americans. They interpret and employ our constitution as a suicide pact. How do we address this? By voting?
We have allowed them to usurp our public education system and indoctrinate our young for decades. We permit them to undermine our government agencies with impunity. We permit them to declare and practice non-compliance with federal law, with impunity. The ‘rule-of-law’ has been redefined, with impunity.

So what is our duty, exactly? Given the foregoing, the utter absence of prosecution of enemies of the country, I for one, am feeling that my vote is a weapon that is being turned on me.
But don’t let me rain on the parade. That is why you must continue to vote. The revolution will come, sooner or later.
BE AWARE OF OUR POSSIBLE FUTURE
A very serious mistake Americans make is to assume the U.S.’s version of totalitarianism is going to look like that of the old U.S.S.R., Cuba’s, North Korea’s, or Vietnam’s. America will have its own version because of that pesky document we call the United States Constitution. America will reach a totalitarian state through Antonio Gramsci’s long march through the intuitions — “fundamental transformation” — of the culture.
Subverting our intuitional values, and indoctrination of the next generation is the strategy.
Media disinformation, entertainment propaganda, and the suppression of free speech and truth are the tactics. How can this be done in America when the U.S. Constitution is our founding document that protects our freedoms from an oppressive government?
The answer is to delegate violations of these fundamental rights to the private sector. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, YouTube, and all social media platforms. These privately-owned companies can do to suppression of free speech, brainwashing, and forming public opinion what the government could never legally do, but to the same effect.

Jim Carrey Claims The Grim Reaper Is ‘Jealous’ Of Trump And Republicans’ Death Count From Coronavirus In New Cartoon

Hollywood comedic actor Jim Carrey has released yet another bizarre political cartoon , this time depicting the Grim Reaper as being “ jealous ” of the coronavirus death count that he blames on President Donald Trump and Republicans .
“ Grim reaper officially jealous of Trump and GOP ’ s ability to double the death toll , ” read the caption of Carrey ’ s latest cartoon , which he posted to Twitter on Monday .
Carrey was clearly trying to blame COVID-19 deaths on Trump and the GOP despite the fact that this virus originated in China and has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s particularly ironic that Carrey would release this painting given the fact that he had pledged to stop creating anti-Trump cartoons in 2020 , at the start of the year .

Carrey was clearly trying to blame COVID-19 deaths on Trump and the GOP despite the fact that this virus originated in China and has hit countries all over the globe. It’s particularly ironic that Carrey would release this painting given the fact that he had pledged to stop creating anti-Trump cartoons in 2020, at the start of the year.
“I basically didn’t bring that into 2020 with me,” Carrey insisted, according to Breitbart News. “That’s gone — pretty much, for the most part.”
“I’ve said what I need to say, and I’ve allowed it to inhabit my body and cause whatever low vibrations do to a body,” he added. “You know, I sounded my yelp, I warned people, and that’s enough. They know how I feel.” Unfortunately, this hiatus did not last long, as Carrey returned to his old ways in March with a cartoon that blasted Trump for wanting to reopen the country amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “Trump is willing to risk countless lives to save his economic record.
