westernjournal--2020-03-18--Hillary Clinton Traffics in Divisiveness While America Needs Unity, Hits Trump for ‘Racist Rhetoric’

The woman still smoldering with resentment over her upset in the 2016 presidential election sparked a new round of recriminations on Wednesday with a Twitter post accusing President Donald Trump of racism for accurately labeling the coronavirus plaguing the country as “ Chinese ” in origin .
Stoking divisiveness when the United States needs a unified front against a dangerous enemy is a classic Democrat desperation tactic – whether it ’ s taking the side of terrorists in the years after 9/11 with incessant , exaggerated complaints about the prison at Guantanamo Bay ( still open even after eight years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closure being part of the party ’ s official platform for the 2016 election ) , or opposing Trump ’ s efforts to bring the murderous mullahs of Iran to heel .
And when all else fails , of course , just accusing Republicans of “ racism ” is standard .
Clinton ’ s problem at this point , though , is that not only is she a known liar – with literally decades of statements on the public record that were deliberately deceptive – but her argument doesn ’ t even pass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

“ 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 , ” Clinton wrote .

Hillary can’t help it.

Stoking divisiveness when the United States needs a unified front against a dangerous enemy is a classic Democrat desperation tactic – whether it’s taking the side of terrorists in the years after 9/11 with incessant, exaggerated complaints about the prison at Guantanamo Bay (still open even after eight years of a Barack Obama presidency and its closure being part of the party’s official platform for the 2016 election), or opposing Trump’s efforts to bring the murderous mullahs of Iran to heel.
And when all else fails, of course, just accusing Republicans of “racism” is standard.
Clinton’s problem at this point, though, is that not only is she a known liar – with literally decades of statements on the public record that were deliberately deceptive – but her argument doesn’t even pass the low bar of being remotely logical.
Just for the record, here’s Hillary’s tweet.
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
“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,” Clinton wrote. “Don’t let your friends and family fall for it.”
Do you think Americans see through Hillary's "racism" accusation? Yes No

As Trump made clear in his news conference Wednesday, he was not only accurately describing the origin of the COVID-19 virus — in the very Chinese city of Wuhan — he was also semantically reminding the communist government that the United States isn’t going to be bullied.
The Chinese government has been throwing its considerable weight around to avoid being pegged with responsibility for the virus it inflicted on the world.
As National Review senior writer David Harsanyi pointed out in an insightful – and grimly hilarious – piece on Tuesday, the Chinese government has pressured authorities like the World Health Organization to avoid attaching a geographic origin to the current pandemic that’s causing death and disruption around the globe.
While the WHO might be spineless enough to go along (despite its name, “World Health,” is clearly not as important to the organization as being accommodating to the Beijing dictatorship), Trump is not ready to oblige.

When asked if the term created a “stigma,” Trump was equally logical.
“I think that saying our military gave it to them creates a stigma.”
Beyond geographic accuracy regarding the origin of the virus, and beyond the geopolitical importance of letting the Chinese know they won’t be able to get away with a defamatory lie, there’s the simple fact that the Chinese media outlets referred to the outbreak as the “Wuhan flu” before it became an issue of global concern.
Screenshots posted by freelance journalist Mary Hui show Chinese news organizations had no problem using that term until the Chinese Communist Party (meaning President Xi Jinping or his immediate minions) had decided to send it down the memory hole.
Xinhua & Global Times called it “Wuhan virus” early on. That’s no longer convenient for the CCP as it seeks to wrest control of the narrative, so last week the foreign ministry called Pompeo’s use of the phrase “Wuhan coronavirus” a “despicable practice” https://t.co/teRiViYoj2 pic.twitter.com/i1w6BiIydN — Mary Hui (@maryhui) March 18, 2020
Here’s another: a Jan. 25 Global Times piece published on the People’s Daily site, two days after Wuhan was locked down. Then on the right we have a Xinhua commentary dated Feb. 13 in which “Wuhan virus” is condemned as “racist.” https://t.co/BnYCyHYih1https://t.co/xLdvJ9GxsF pic.twitter.com/sYkCDZiFqN — Mary Hui (@maryhui) March 18, 2020
So, to recap:
Logic dictates that there is literally nothing “racist” about calling a virus that originated in China a “Chinese” virus. (There is, however, a good deal of Chinese government propaganda interest — and American Democratic Party interest — in spreading that idea around.)
Political considerations – in the form of letting the increasingly belligerent Beijing government know that the United States won’t be bullied – helped dictate Trump’s decision, not “racist” considerations.
And recent history shows that Chinese news outlets themselves saw nothing “racist” in referring to the virus by its point of origin.
But Hillary Clinton still can’t help it.
Her own husband’s administration was rife with scandal related to the Chinese government: “Chinagate” it was called, for those who don’t remember or might have been too young in the 1990s.
The American Spectator published a handy reminder of it all back in October 2016, when it still looked for all the world like Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the United States.
Her political party’s current hopes of winning back the presidency are riding on the faltering shoulders of former Vice President Joe Biden and the unspoken-in-public hope that the coronavirus does so much damage to the American life that voters will actually dump Trump for a man who couldn’t win the presidency the first two times he tried and is manifestly incapable of doing the job more than 20 years down the road.
And after some early missteps, the Trump administration is marshaling the might of the American government to keep the country safe from a potential disaster.
Branding Trump a “racist” is all Hillary & Co. have now, so she can’t help but use it. Divisiveness is really all the Democrats have.
If the American electorate retains its sanity, though, it’s not going to help Democrats at all.

Days After Young Co-Star’s Death, ‘7th Heaven’ Star Beverley Mitchell Reveals Pregnancy with ‘Rainbow Baby’

Most people who know Beverley Mitchell know her from her time on “ 7th Heaven.
” Once Lucy Camden , she ’ s now a wife and mother who ’ s had to navigate the turbulent waters of loss .
Last year , she wrote a blog entry detailing the way she was grieving having lost her pregnancy in 2018 , which was made doubly difficult by the fact that she ’ d been carrying twins .
She wrote about how tough the period of grief had been , and how though it was painful , she wanted to remember @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been growing .
“ Though last week was hard , I am grateful because I know the sadness will lift and though it was challenging , I am stronger because of it , ” she wrote .

I have to keep the faith and trust that with time will heal.
” TRENDING : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Full Display After Melania Trump Cancels Easter Egg Roll “ I have always been real with you all , and you may have noticed a shift in my energy this past week on social media .
I don ’ t ever want to be the one to pretend and to hide behind a perfect life ( ps there is no such thing ) , and I think the gift of social media is the love and support , the sense of community .
So I wanted to share my truth with you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a platform , for being honest and real.
” She admitted that seeing other babies was hard , but was openly thankful for her husband ’ s support and the love of her two little ones .
“ So to all those who are suffering , know that it is ok to take time to feel it all , ” she continued .
“ Give yourself a minute , sometimes life sucks but in the same breath life can be pure MAGIC .
So let yourself feel , but also allow yourself to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ magic too .
Because in the darkness there is the beauty of the light !
” Now , almost exactly a year after her blog post and just days after her former “ 7th Heaven ” co-star Lorenzo Brino tragically died in a car crash , she has shared some much-needed positive news with her followers on Instagram .
“ We finally got our gold at the end of the rainbow !
!

According to NBC Bay Area, Newsom confirmed the state’s measures included taking over two vacant hospitals to help lessen the impact of the virus on existing medical facilities.
Along with the hospitals, California is attempting to acquire tens of thousands of hotel rooms to house hospital patients and the state’s massive homeless population.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease, is rapidly spread in close quarters and unsanitary conditions. The fear is that homeless camps in San Francisco and other west coast cities will become breeding grounds for the potentially fatal illness.

There are plenty of parents worried about how to keep their kids busy and educated since so many schools have closed amid the coronavirus outbreak. Thankfully, they can find a wealth of online resources — some that have always been available, and some that have become available in response to schools closing — to help them plan their days.
While this might seem like a time of limitations and rules regarding what we can’t (or at least shouldn’t) do, some people are seeing the positives and running with them.
Nine-year-old Taran, 6-year-old Calliope and their mother, Rebecca Tien, of Columbus, Ohio, are great examples of seeing the possibilities of this turbulent time.
The siblings both play the cello, and they’re both home due to school closures.
Their neighbor, Helena Schlam, is 78 years old and has decided to stay home and keep to herself as a preventative measure.
Knowing this, Tien offered to help pick up groceries or whatever Schlam might need, but the neighbor insisted she was set. So Tien found something else her family could do.

westernjournal--2020-03-18--Leftist Journalist Doubles Down on Attacking Trump Over Stock Market Chaos, Shapiro Sets Him Straigh

Leftist Journalist Doubles Down on Attacking Trump Over Stock Market Chaos, Shapiro Sets Him Straight

Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro set leftist reporter Aaron Rupar straight after he appeared to celebrate the stock market falling below the level it was at when President Donald Trump took office .
Rupar — an associate editor at the left-leaning publication Vox and a frequent Trump critic — tweeted on Wednesday , “ The Dow is now below 19,800 — meaning it has dropped since Trump took office .
All of his gains are gone and then some.
” Shapiro replied , “ They are not ‘ his gains.
’ They are ‘ our gains , ’ since we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And our loss is not his fault any more than the global pandemic is .
Anyone who thinks Trump is the true underlying problem here is a moron.
” TRENDING : Leftists Put the Extent of Their Cruelty on Full Display After Melania Trump Cancels Easter Egg Roll Andrew Follett , a senior policy analyst with the Club for Growth , urged Rupar to “ stop cheering , ” considering the fact that many Americans have been impacted by the stock market ’ s decline .
“ Trump doesn ’ t own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Follett tweeted .

Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro set leftist reporter Aaron Rupar straight after he appeared to celebrate the stock market falling below the level it was at when President Donald Trump took office.
Rupar — an associate editor at the left-leaning publication Vox and a frequent Trump critic — tweeted on Wednesday, “The Dow is now below 19,800 — meaning it has dropped since Trump took office. All of his gains are gone and then some.”
Shapiro replied, “They are not ‘his gains.’ They are ‘our gains,’ since we’re the ones who own stock. And our loss is not his fault any more than the global pandemic is. Anyone who thinks Trump is the true underlying problem here is a moron.”

Andrew Follett, a senior policy analyst with the Club for Growth, urged Rupar to “stop cheering,” considering the fact that many Americans have been impacted by the stock market’s decline.
“Trump doesn’t own all investments…we the people do,” Follett tweeted. “Please stop cheering that a lot of people lost their retirements because Orange Man Bad.”
Rupar replied to Follett’s tweet, claiming that he was not rooting for the market’s demise.
Instead, he said he was simply pointing out that Trump, having celebrated the new heights that stocks reached while he has been in office, must now take ownership for their decline.
I’m noting the state of the stock market, not rooting for it to fall. Trump has incessantly taken credit for gains — even when it’s not deserved — and the bill for that is due now.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman — who famously predicted on election night in 2016 the global economy would tank thanks to Trump’s election — also seemed to celebrate the stock market’s decline.
“The stock market is not the economy, and presidents not responsible for either in most circumstances — although delaying a pandemic response affects both. But Trump likes to measure himself by the markets, so here’s his presidency to date,” Krugman tweeted.

For a woman who built a career on beauty , the ugliness is striking .

On Twitter Tuesday , while sane people were preoccupied with the Chinese coronavirus that ’ s changing the face of the United States on an almost hourly basis , Teigen decided to bring that opposition to bear on first lady Melania Trump , with a string of profanity-laced tweets that insulted Melania ’ s intelligence as a “ wifebot ” while calling the president himself a “ loser wimp.
” Fortunately , the first lady has plenty of fans who were willing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Leftists Put the Extent of Their Cruelty on Full Display After Melania Trump Cancels Easter Egg Roll It wasn ’ t clear exactly what sparked the vicious Twitter rant , but she might have just caught up to Melania Trump ’ s post from March 7 , where the first lady urged her critics to turn their energies toward something “ good and productive in their own communities.
” To Teigen ’ s type , apparently , a sensible plea like that is an invitation for yet more coarseness and sheer malice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fame in the world won ’ t buy even the most beautiful woman one ounce of class .
Seriously ?
This is a woman who , at age 34 , is best known for appearing half-naked on slick pages of various magazines .
( Four years in a row in Sports Illustrated ! )
And she ’ s up on a high horse attacking a modeling veteran who has spent her White House years at least trying to use the influence of her current position to help young people deal with emotional problems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her “ Be Best ” initiative ?
Of course , Teigen ’ s rant drew plenty of liberal supporters – even in the # MeToo world , the left loves nothing more than to publicly assault a woman on the right .
But that wasn ’ t all it drew .

And , as Teigen found out , those fans don ’ t like seeing the first lady attacked .
But this one summed it up best — at least in spirit .

“ I ’ m glad I don ’ t have to live with the anger and evil you have in your soul.

And that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person should relate to .
Even in the best of times , living in the miserable stew of resentment and rage that liberals have expressed since Donald Trump ’ s upset win in 2016 has to be trying on the soul .

(It’s a fair bet it’s not more than most people – and certainly not more than most liberals, she just has a bigger platform to spew her filth onto the world.)
But what that last tweet does express is happiness at not having to live with the kind of ugliness Teigen’s tweets undoubtedly show. And that’s something every mentally balanced, emotionally adjusted person should relate to.
Even in the best of times, living in the miserable stew of resentment and rage that liberals have expressed since Donald Trump’s upset win in 2016 has to be trying on the soul.
Living with that in a time of stress like the one the United States population is dealing with now — thanks to the Chinese communist government – must be soul-destroying.

westernjournal--2020-03-18--Trump Invokes Korean War-Era Defense Production Act as Part of Coronavirus Response

President Donald Trump will be invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950 to help with potential medical supply shortages in response to the coronavirus outbreak .
“ Right after we finish this conference , I ’ ll be signing it and it ’ s prepared to go , ” Trump said at a Wednesday morning news briefing at the White House .
“ It can do a lot of good things if we need it and we will have it all completed , signing it in just a little while.
” TRENDING : Leftists Put the Extent of Their Cruelty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Easter Egg Roll The Defense Production Act is a Korean War-era law that gives the president the authority to take action to force the American industry to ramp up production of certain critical equipment , according to The New York Times .
In response to COVID-19 , some of the equipment could include ventilators , respirators and protective gear for health care workers .
Some doctors and nurses are already short on medical equipment like gowns and gloves , as well as other supplies like N95 face masks and hand sanitizer , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Murthy , CNN reported .
In a Monday letter to the State Department , the Consumer Brands Association expressed concerns about other countries cutting off exports to the United States and the effect that could have on the current public health emergency .

President Donald Trump will be invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950 to help with potential medical supply shortages in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
“Right after we finish this conference, I’ll be signing it and it’s prepared to go,” Trump said at a Wednesday morning news briefing at the White House.

Trump says “we’ll be invoking the Korean War era Defense Production Act” This allows the federal government “to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense” — in this case, emergency medical supplies https://t.co/eoIhtnhfq4 pic.twitter.com/nfESAHYzmp — CBS News (@CBSNews) March 18, 2020
“It can do a lot of good things if we need it and we will have it all completed, signing it in just a little while.”
The Defense Production Act is a Korean War-era law that gives the president the authority to take action to force the American industry to ramp up production of certain critical equipment, according to The New York Times.
In response to COVID-19, some of the equipment could include ventilators, respirators and protective gear for health care workers.

Some doctors and nurses are already short on medical equipment like gowns and gloves, as well as other supplies like N95 face masks and hand sanitizer, according to former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, CNN reported.
In a Monday letter to the State Department, the Consumer Brands Association expressed concerns about other countries cutting off exports to the United States and the effect that could have on the current public health emergency.
“Absent early intervention, Consumer Brands fears that efforts by other countries to restrict the export of base materials, nutritional and food inputs, chemicals and other essential manufacturing supplies and ingredients will prevent manufacturers from being able to increase production, ultimately leading to consumers being unable to obtain products that are vital to treating and stopping the spread of COVID-19 and remaining healthy,” the letter read.
“In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have already seen multiple countries enact restrictions on the export of base materials, chemicals, medical supplies and ingredients.
“If other countries were to follow suit by significantly disrupting the supply chain of these critical ingredients, it could substantially increase the risk of product shortages in the United States and thus pose a serious threat to the public health.”
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Wednesday that the Defense Department will make 5 million respiratory masks and protective equipment from strategic reserves available to help with the supply shortages.
“The first 1 million masks will be available immediately,” he said.
A self-swab test for COVID-19 is also in production, Trump said, according to Politico.
During the media conference, Trump said that the Department of Housing and Urban Development would be “suspending all foreclosures and evictions until the end of April” in order to provide “immediate relief to renters and homeowners.”
A military hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, is being dispatched to New York City to help provide relief to overwhelmed hospitals and health care workers.

We seem to be doing just fine without these regulations .
Maybe we never needed them in the first place .

westernjournal--2020-03-18--Dick Morris: What’s Causing the Change in Trump?

It has been a hallmark of the Trump presidency for the president to go it alone , sometimes ignoring his staff and other times treating them with contempt as he shows them the door .

This new , more respectful Donald Trump is winning admirers in strange places .

It has been a hallmark of the Trump presidency for the president to go it alone, sometimes ignoring his staff and other times treating them with contempt as he shows them the door.
But as coronavirus spreads throughout the country, a different Donald Trump is coming into view.
No longer dismissive of his staff and colleagues. No more Mr. Know-it-all.
The man who said, during the campaign, that he knew more than the generals did about how to defeat ISIS (it turned out he did!) has yielded place to a president who listens to advice both on medical and public health issues and on how to mitigate the economic fallout from the virus.
This new, more respectful Donald Trump is winning admirers in strange places. CNN’s chief political correspondent Dana Bash commented on the president’s Oval Office address and coronavirus press briefing, saying:
“If you look at the big picture, this was remarkable from the president of the United States. This is a nonpartisan — this is an important thing to note and to applaud from an American standpoint, from a human standpoint. He is being the kind of leader that people need, at least in tone, today and yesterday, in tone that people need and want and yearn for in times of crisis and uncertainty.”
From my standpoint as a Trump fan, I noticed the same thing in my column this week when I spoke of the changes coming over Trump. He’s less of a gladiator and more of an administrator, a competent manager looking to his experts for guidance.
Trump has always believed that he doesn’t need staff. And he’s right.
Having steered his own business career through the shadow of bankruptcy, created a new kind of TV personality and then won election against heavy odds in this first try at elected office, he doesn’t usually need advisers. More often than not, they just get in his way.
Do you think Trump's response to the coronavirus will help him in the election? Yes No

But this challenge is different. Now he needs expert advice on epidemiology and a crashing economy. Nothing in his background prepared him for this crisis. Suddenly, he needs help.
Imagine if he himself were seriously ill.
His usual bluster and arrogant assumption that he had only to look to his instincts for guidance would not serve him very well. He would be forced to depend on others, perhaps for the first time in his life.
Now, he finds himself in just such an unfamiliar situation. And he’s turning to experts like the director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
And he seems willing to share the stage with his often shunted-aside vice president, Mike Pence.
After four HHS secretaries, he seems to have settled on Alex Azar, who appears to be up to the task.
This change in Trump’s attitude and dealing with his colleagues gives him a wonderful opportunity to get voters to take another look at him.
Coupled with a hopefully positive outcome to the coronavirus crisis, this development should help him immensely in November.
