pamelagellerreport--2020-03-15--President Trump considering ‘full’ pardon for former adviser Michael Flynn

Perhaps justice will be done after all .
The Democrat Soviet-like political persecution of General Michael Flynn was illegal , undemocratic and kafka-esque .
So now it is reported that , after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family ( and many others also ) , the FBI , working in conjunction with the Justice Department , has “ lost ” the records of General Michael Flynn .
How convenient .
I am strongly considering a Full Pardon !
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia ’ s ambassador before Trump took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guilty plea in January .
The Truth Must be Told Please take a moment to consider this .
Now , more than ever , people are reading Geller Report for news they wo n't get anywhere else .
But advertising revenues have all but disappeared .
Google Adsense is the online advertising monopoly and they have banned us .
Social media giants like Facebook and Twitter have blocked and shadow-banned our accounts .
But we wo n't put up a paywall .
Because never has the free world needed independent journalism more .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Geller Report covers the news the media wo n't .
We can not do our ground-breaking report without your support .
We must continue to report on the global jihad and the left 's war on freedom .

pamelagellerreport--2020-03-15--Israel: Gantz recommended by Liberman, has enough votes to form gov’t and oust Netanyahu

The Jewish Left-wing political parties in Israel , are joining Israel ’ s pro-Jihad Arab parties to oust PM Netanyahu .
Absolutely despicable .
This tragedy is made possible by the Soviet raised Avigdor Liberman , who heads the small Yisrael Beiteinu Party .
Liberman ’ s votes will give Israel ’ s Left wing parties the required 61 mandates to form a government .
Liberman had always insisted that he would never join a coalition that included the Arab parties .
He lied , as did his fellow traitors in the Blue and White party .
Pray for Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Israel ’ s Knesset when this goes to a vote .
Gantz recommended by Liberman , has enough votes to form gov ’ t Liberman ’ s recommendation , which meant the backing of 7 MKs , means that Gantz now has 61 MKs backing him to get the first opportunity to establish a new government .
Yisrael Beytenu leader MK Avigdor Liberman told President Reuven Rivlin on Sunday that his party was recommending Blue and White leader MK Benny Gantz be given the mandate to form a government .
Liberman ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 7 MKs , means that Gantz now has 61 MKs backing him to get the first opportunity to establish a new government .
It is likely Rivlin will indeed give the mandate to Gantz first , and the president said after his consultation with Liberman that “ the math is clear , ” although he noted that himself talked of the importance of a unity government .
Rivlin said he would meet with Netanyahu and Gantz before making his decision , which must come by Tuesday .
He then summoned both men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held on Sunday evening .
Joint List offered Gantz its support when meeting Rivlin , giving him the backing of its 15 seats in Knesset .
Gantz also got the backing of 7 MKs from Labor-Gesher-Meretz union , without the seat currently held by Gesher , and his own 33 seats in parliament .
Blue and White is likely however to press ahead with efforts to remove current Knesset speaker Likud MK Yuli Edelstein and vote in its own candidate Meir Cohen .

The Jewish Left-wing political parties in Israel, are joining Israel’s pro-Jihad Arab parties to oust PM Netanyahu. Absolutely despicable. This tragedy is made possible by the Soviet raised Avigdor Liberman, who heads the small Yisrael Beiteinu Party. Liberman’s votes will give Israel’s Left wing parties the required 61 mandates to form a government. Liberman had always insisted that he would never join a coalition that included the Arab parties. He lied, as did his fellow traitors in the Blue and White party. Pray for Israel! This insanity can still be stopped in Israel’s Knesset when this goes to a vote.
President asked Gantz to form a government—something it seems he cannot do. He’s got 61 (including the anti-Zionist Joint List, without Orly Levi). But Hauser and Hendel (Blue-White) say they won’t go in with the anti-Zionist Joint List. So Gantz has 59. Which is nothing. — Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) March 15, 2020

Yes— police were wearing body cams so this footage will come out.
Sex was suspected b/t the two bc there was blood & feces on the bed.
My source says Andrew was NOT fully naked but his “friend” (gay male escort from “Rent Men” website) was.
MIAMI, FL: Former Tallahassee Mayor and Democrat star Andrew Gillum was found naked and vomiting in a Miami hotel room with a male prostitute overdosing on methamphetamine in an apparent sex orgy gone wrong.
Gillum has been touted as a rising star in the Democrat party. He ran against sitting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2018 election. Gillum lost despite having President Barack Obama’s endorsement.
Miami Dade police found Gillum, 40 years old, incoherent when they responded to a cardiac arrest 911 call at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel.
BodyCam footage of the police interactions is certain to exist and will almost certainly be released
As the Miami Herald succinctly reported it:
“Andrew Gillum, who in 2018 came within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor, was discovered by police at a South Beach hotel early Friday morning in a room with bags of possible crystal meth and in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed on drugs, according to a Miami Beach police report.”
“Police say they were called to the Mondrian South Beach early Friday morning. They found paramedics treating Travis Dyson, a 30-year-old Miami man, for an apparent heart attack. They say two other men were in the room: Aldo Mejias and Gillum.”
“Police say, Gillum, who was not arrested, was too intoxicated to answer questions. An offense incident report says that officers found three clear plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth on the bed and floor.”
The Herald goes on to report:
“According to police, Mejias told officers that he gave his credit card information to Dyson to rent the room and planned to meet him Friday evening. When he went to the room after 11 p.m., Mejias said he found Dyson and Gillum “under the influence of an unknown substance.”
“Mejias, 56, said Dyson opened the door to Room 1107 to let him in and then collapsed on the bed. He said Dyson was having trouble breathing, so he woke him up. Dyson then vomited and collapsed again, so Mejias said he performed chest compressions on Dyson and called paramedics. Mejias told police he saw Gillum, 40, vomit in the bathroom.”
Police made no arrests, in spite of open meth use.
“Police say Dyson was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center in stable condition. They returned to check on Gillum, who was allowed to return home “without incident.” No arrests were made and none are expected, said Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez. He said police impounded the drugs.
“We responded as a medical call,” he said. “Though there were narcotics in plain view, no one was in physical possession of those narcotics.”
Asked if police typically don’t make arrests when small amounts of drugs are found, the spokesman said it depends on the situation.
“Officers are not going to make an arrest every time they go into a house and drugs are found. Every situation is different,” he said.”
Candace Owen breaks the Gillum sex-meth-ga-orgy story
Conservative commentator Candace Owen broke the story on twitter with a series of tweets, screenshots of the police report, and the additional information that Dyson and Gillum were naked when the police arrived.
UPDATE to @AndrewGillum story: My source says Andrew was NOT fully naked but his “friend” (gay male escort from “Rent Men” website) was. Sex was suspected b/t the two bc there was blood & feces on the bed. Yes— police were wearing body cams so this footage will come out. — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 14, 2020
Here is the last page of the report which sites the crystal meth. Guess Florida made the right move electing Governor Desantis I am told @AndrewGillum and his buddies were naked when cops arrived, which is the reason a sex orgy is suspected, but not confirmed. pic.twitter.com/p76jUn0soO — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 13, 2020
”
Gillum released a statement and retreated into what is sure to be a very awkward homecoming with his wife and three children:
“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines.”
He quickly added, “I will spend the next few weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time.”
Yeah Andrew, sure you will. Candace Owen was having none of it, quickly pricking Gillums alibi.
Candace Owen shoots down Gillum’s alibi
Owen then outed Gillum’s party buddy as an openly gay man who was well known as a male escort with a profile on a gay escort service.:
“Unfortunately for @AndrewGillum, his “friend” Travis Dyson, has come forth to reveal that he is no friend, but an open male escort. He also claims that he has never heard of the wedding of which Andrew Gillum speaks of.”
This is the alleged friend that @AndrewGillum claims he was “helping” after a wedding. He is an openly gay man, whose public profile has very few photos of him clothed. His sexuality is only relevant bc as I said earlier—police suspected they had disrupted a drug/sex party. pic.twitter.com/CRKAk1AiQ5 — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 13, 2020
The New York Post reported that:
“The man who overdosed on crystal meth in a Florida hotel room with Gillum, a Democrat who made an unsuccessful bid for Florida governor, was an openly gay male escort with a profile on the website RentMen.com, Florida’s Local10 reported Friday. Travis Dyson also identified himself as a “pornstar performer” who offered services including “gay massage””
Pictures of Dyson and Gillum explode across the twitter
The internet exploded with pictures of Dyson in his steroid-induced torso in a muscle beach thong. Worse, there were a series of pictures of Gillum and Dyson together.
This was clearly not their first rodeo.
It is also obvious what happened. Aldo Mejias showed up at the room he had allowed Dyson to rent with Mejias’ credit card. It is clear the plan was for a three-way orgy. Instead, he walked in on an overdose in progress.
To his credit, Mejias did the right thing. He called 911.
But anyone who thinks that this was anything other than a drug-fueled sex party is kidding themselves.
Release the BodyCam footage
There is certainly BodyCam footage of the incident.
That will clarify the exact state of what occurred in room 1107 of the Mondrian South Beach. That footage should clearly show Dyson, Mejias, and Gillum and the condition they were in. It is a personal tragedy for Andrew Gillum and his family.
If there was a naked meth party going on, as appears to be the case, the BodyCam footage will confirm that.
Mr. Gillum has some explaining to do, and not only to his wife.
It’s fine to live the life you want. It’s the duplicity that is staggering. I’m not judging anyone for their lifestyle. Except when you are a public figure. A supposed voice for morality. You do have a higher standard.
This is outrageous by any standard.
Especially when you have been holding yourself forth in a very different way.
The combination of a gay prostitute. Methamphetamine. Three-way drug-fueled orgy sex. Overdoses, police, and public spectacle.
And a well known married public figure with a wife and three kids. The whole affair is an exercise in sheer stupidity, blatant recklessness, and unbelievable hypocrisy.
Its clear Andrew Gillum is in no position to lecture anyone about anything.

pamelagellerreport--2020-03-15--ISIS tells its terrorists not to travel to Europe for jihad — because of coronavirus

That ’ s rich .

pamelagellerreport--2020-03-15--U of Michigan: Jewish student censured as “Islamophobic” for accurate pro-Israel statements, despite

U of Michigan: Jewish student censured as “Islamophobic” for accurate pro-Israel statements, despite apologizing

For quite some time it has been obvious that our nation ’ s colleges and universities are no longer institutions of higher learning , but radioactive wastelands of Leftist indoctrination and Antifa recruitment .
Resounding confirmation of this came Tuesday from the University of Michigan , when a Jewish student was condemned for telling the truth , and groveled before his persecutors with an abject apology that is unlikely to remove the cloud of suspicion over him that he guilty of wrongthink .
JNS.org reported that “ the student government at the University of Michigan has passed a resolution condemning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Palestinians he made as a high school senior.
” Yes , as a high school senior .
As far as we know , Benjamin Gerstein , the condemned student , has been in total ideological lockstep with Leftist totalitarians during his entire time at the University of Michigan .
If he had not been , they would certainly have condemned him for that as well .
But as it stands , the condemnation is for things he said before he even got there .
What kind of star chamber is the University of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would censure this young man for statements he made before he was a University of Michigan student , and for which he has issued an abject apology ?
The snotty little Nazis who condemned Gerstein are now demanding that one march in ideological lockstep with them every day of one ’ s life , or pay the consequences for dissent , no matter how callow one was at the time of the dissent , and how groveling one ’ s apology .
The University of Michigan student government further covered itself in shame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t even close .
Those who will dare to stand for the truth and freedom there are apparently quite thin on the ground .
JNS reported that “ the final vote of the Feb. 25 resolution rebuking Central Student Government president Ben Gerstein was 25 in favor , zero against and four abstentions.
” What double-plus ungood things did Gerstein say ?
On the TV show “ North Town News Magazine ” in 2017 , he said : “ There should be a test for what type of people deserve a state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t .
I think the Palestinian people , with rejecting constant peace deals , with their financing of terror , with their raising kids to hate people purely because of their religion .
I don ’ t think that people deserve a state at this point in time .
Until we see a significant change in the Palestinian mentality and a significant change in the Palestinian leadership , I don ’ t think they deserve a state at this point.
” These statements are true .
The “ Palestinians ” are indeed “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terror , and “ raising kids to hate people purely because of their religion.
” So what was Gerstein apologizing for ?
Even worse , his apology could not have been more servile , more reminiscent of the self-incrimination of a Chinese victim of the Cultural Revolution at its most febrile and hysterical : “ In this video as well as an op-ed , ” Gerstein wrote , “ I made statements that erase the history of the Palestinian people.
” What history ?
The “ Palestinian people ” are a propaganda fiction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as The Palestinian Delusion proves .
They were invented in the 1960s .
Before that , even in the tumultuous days of the founding of the modern State of Israel , there is not a single mention in the international press , the deliberations of the UN , or the statements of Muslim Arab leaders of any “ Palestinian people.
” They ’ re the local Arabs , indistinguishable culturally , religiously , ethnically , and linguistically from the Arabs of Jordan , Syria , and Lebanon .
So what history did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would it even have been possible for an American high school student to “ erase ” the history of an entire people with a few oppositional statements , even if that people did exist ?
Is this the kind of flaccid , flabby , lazy thinking that the University of Michigan is encouraging ?
Yes .
And it gets even worse .
Gerstein goes on : “ I made racist statements , including the denial of the right to self-determination , that were ignorant of Palestinians ’ struggle under occupation .
I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as not coming forward with the video sooner and seeking remedy for it .
I accept total and complete responsibility for the harmfulness of my language , the offensiveness of my words and the active role I played in the silencing of Palestinian voices.
” What “ racist statements ” did Gerstein make ?
He made none , of course , and should have said so .
But he and all his fellow students at the University of Michigan and at colleges and universities all over the country have been relentlessly barraged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the original sin , the worst thing anyone can commit .
What ’ s more , it ’ s pretty much the only sin .
Yes , there is all that “ misgendering ” nonsense , but I ’ ve encountered numerous young people who characterize as “ racism ” anything they dislike or think is wrong , even if it has nothing whatsoever to do with race .
It is how they have been taught to think , or to appear to engage in a semblance of thinking .
Recently an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all about how I am a “ white nationalist ” for opposing jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women .
He adduced numerous statements from me to support his case , without seeming to notice that in nary a one of them did I even mention race , much less say anything “ white nationalist.
” I was embarrassed for him .
“ Racism ” is the only way he has been taught to see the world , and he simply conceptualize any problem without it .
He , and Benjamin Gerstein , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroys young minds .
Gerstein ’ s Cultural Revolution self-incrimination didn ’ t end there .
“ I have grown considerably since I made those statements , ” he assured us , “ and the repulsive views I expressed in the video no longer reflect my current understanding .
I am devastated to see them reappear and be defended today .
I know an apology is never enough , and I am complicit in the oppression of Palestinians through my past actions.
” An apology is indeed never enough .
The student government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s comments were “ Islamaphobic and racist , and we formally condemn these comments.
” And , of course , “ we recognize the international plight of the Palestinian people , some of whom are constituents of this government.
” It also stated : “ We recognize that more work needs to be done to uproot racism and Islamophobia at the University of Michigan.
” Of course it does .
Why , what else should university students be doing ?
The student government ’ s censure is indicative of the Left ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dissent at all .
Benjamin Gerstein looks to have been well and truly brainwashed , thoroughly and efficiently propagandized , at the University of Michigan .
His is a cautionary tale of how far our universities and colleges today have fallen .
Many of them are closing because of the coronavirus ; it would be a magnificent stroke of luck if the expense they had to undertake to fight the virus made it so they weren ’ t able to reopen .

The snotty little Nazis who condemned Gerstein are now demanding that one march in ideological lockstep with them every day of one’s life, or pay the consequences for dissent, no matter how callow one was at the time of the dissent, and how groveling one’s apology.
The University of Michigan student government further covered itself in shame with the fact that the vote wasn’t even close. Those who will dare to stand for the truth and freedom there are apparently quite thin on the ground. JNS reported that “the final vote of the Feb. 25 resolution rebuking Central Student Government president Ben Gerstein was 25 in favor, zero against and four abstentions.”
What double-plus ungood things did Gerstein say? On the TV show “North Town News Magazine” in 2017, he said: “There should be a test for what type of people deserve a state and what type of people don’t. I think the Palestinian people, with rejecting constant peace deals, with their financing of terror, with their raising kids to hate people purely because of their religion. I don’t think that people deserve a state at this point in time. Until we see a significant change in the Palestinian mentality and a significant change in the Palestinian leadership, I don’t think they deserve a state at this point.”
These statements are true. The “Palestinians” are indeed “rejecting constant peace deals,” financing terror, and “raising kids to hate people purely because of their religion.” So what was Gerstein apologizing for?
Even worse, his apology could not have been more servile, more reminiscent of the self-incrimination of a Chinese victim of the Cultural Revolution at its most febrile and hysterical:
“In this video as well as an op-ed,” Gerstein wrote, “I made statements that erase the history of the Palestinian people.”

So what history did Gerstein “erase”?
And how would it even have been possible for an American high school student to “erase” the history of an entire people with a few oppositional statements, even if that people did exist? Is this the kind of flaccid, flabby, lazy thinking that the University of Michigan is encouraging? Yes.
And it gets even worse. Gerstein goes on: “I made racist statements, including the denial of the right to self-determination, that were ignorant of Palestinians’ struggle under occupation. I am sorry beyond words—both for my actions as well as not coming forward with the video sooner and seeking remedy for it. I accept total and complete responsibility for the harmfulness of my language, the offensiveness of my words and the active role I played in the silencing of Palestinian voices.”
What “racist statements” did Gerstein make? He made none, of course, and should have said so. But he and all his fellow students at the University of Michigan and at colleges and universities all over the country have been relentlessly barraged with the idea that “racism” is the original sin, the worst thing anyone can commit.
What’s more, it’s pretty much the only sin. Yes, there is all that “misgendering” nonsense, but I’ve encountered numerous young people who characterize as “racism” anything they dislike or think is wrong, even if it has nothing whatsoever to do with race. It is how they have been taught to think, or to appear to engage in a semblance of thinking. Recently an earnest young man made a lengthy video all about how I am a “white nationalist” for opposing jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. He adduced numerous statements from me to support his case, without seeming to notice that in nary a one of them did I even mention race, much less say anything “white nationalist.” I was embarrassed for him. “Racism” is the only way he has been taught to see the world, and he simply conceptualize any problem without it. He, and Benjamin Gerstein, are poster children for how contemporary education destroys young minds.
Gerstein’s Cultural Revolution self-incrimination didn’t end there. “I have grown considerably since I made those statements,” he assured us, “and the repulsive views I expressed in the video no longer reflect my current understanding. I am devastated to see them reappear and be defended today. I know an apology is never enough, and I am complicit in the oppression of Palestinians through my past actions.”
An apology is indeed never enough. The student government’s resolution stated that Gerstein’s comments were “Islamaphobic and racist, and we formally condemn these comments.” And, of course, “we recognize the international plight of the Palestinian people, some of whom are constituents of this government.” It also stated: “We recognize that more work needs to be done to uproot racism and Islamophobia at the University of Michigan.”
Of course it does. Why, what else should university students be doing?
The student government’s censure is indicative of the Left’s general tendency to criminalize and marginalize any dissent at all.

6 Recent Examples of Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline That Should Concern Us All By PJ Media, March 12, 2020: Joe Biden’s gaffes have been a source of humor for years, but now that the odds are very much in favor of him being the Democratic nominee, it doesn’t seem all that funny anymore. Truth be told, there are plenty of Biden gaffes that are just that: gaffes. Everyone has them. But there have been quite a few moments on the campaign trail that seem to be more serious than your garden-variety gaffes, and actually appear to be manifestations of Biden’s cognitive decline. I’ve reviewed recent Biden gaffes to compile what I believe to be the best examples of evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline. There are plenty of gaffes not included here. For example, Biden not knowing what city or state he’s in is something we’ve seen from politicians who travel a lot who we don’t suspect of having diminished mental capacity. On the incident where Biden mixed up his wife and sister, I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he simply expected them to be on the opposite sides of him than they were on. 6. His confusion about black female senators It was such an awkward moment during the November debate when Joe Biden, touting his support from the African American community, noted “I have more people supporting me in the black community because they know me, they know who I am. Three former chairs of the Black Caucus, the only African American woman elected to the U.S. Senate [Carol Moseley Braun], a whole range of people,” he said. “That’s not true,” Senator Cory Booker said right away. “The other one is here,” Senator Kamala Harris fired back at Biden. “I said first!” Biden said, trying to recover from his mistake, though he never actually said first. Now, in all fairness to Biden, Kamala Harris is not African American. She’s half Jamaican and half Indian, but few people on the left ever seem willing to make that distinction, so I can’t quite give him a pass for forgetting that he was sharing the stage with a black female Senator at the time he made that claim.
Joe Biden said tonight that he had the endorsement of the "only African American woman" elected to the US Senate, referring to former US Sen. Carol Moseley Braun. But that isn't true. “The other one is here,” Kamala Harris said. pic.twitter.com/ZP8CFNfQ0h — Mother Jones (@MotherJones) November 21, 2019
Biden’s black female senator flubs continued while campaigning in South Carolina in late February when Biden made the most bizarre claim that he’s “looking forward to appointing the first African-American woman to the United States Senate.”
Joe Biden: “I’m looking forward to appointing the first African American woman to the United States Senate.”

Senators are not appointed but elected. Biden should know this. He was a senator, after all. While he most likely meant to say Supreme Court, he didn’t correct himself, so he likely didn’t even realize his mistake. 5. Forgetting the Declaration of Independence Joe Biden made this embarrassing gaffe on the campaign trail in Texas after his victory in South Carolina. Not only did he forget the words to the Declaration of Independence, he apparently forgot the document he was quoting. “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” he said, somewhat slurring his speech while campaigning in Texas. “All men and women created by the—you know, you know, the thing.” The line from the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” is one of the most quoted sentences in history.

Sen. Ron Johnson Shifts Gears, Will Subpoena Consulting Firm Linked To Burisma And Hunter Biden
By Chuck Ross, March 2020:
Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, plans to directly subpoena a consulting firm linked to Hunter Biden and Burisma Holdings, he said in a letter Thursday.
Johnson initially planned to subpoena a former consultant for the firm, Blue Star Strategies, but he altered his strategy after recent briefings from the FBI and protest from Democrats on the committee.
The Wisconsin Republican said in a letter to Sen. Gary Peters, the top Democrat on the committee, that he plans to subpoena Blue Star for records related to Burisma, and to request interviews with the firm’s co-founders, Karen Tramontano and Sally Painter.
Johnson said he will issue the subpoena “to address the many unanswered questions” about possible conflicts of interest involving Burisma. The subpoena is also aimed at answering whether Blue Star “used individuals with close personal connections to high-level officials within the Obama administration to gain access to and potentially influence U.S. government agencies.
He is seeking Blue Star’s records related to Burisma Holdings since Jan. 1, 2013. He also wants to interview with Tramontano and Painter
Hunter Biden, who joined Burisma’s board in April 2014, reportedly put Blue Star in touch with the Ukrainian company in 2015 to help it fight corruption allegations. Biden served through last year on the board of the Truman National Security Project with Painter, who served in the Clinton administration.

Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board has drawn attention because of his lack of experience in Ukraine, or in the energy business. He took the job just as his father took over as the Obama administration’s point man on Ukraine-related issues.

I know several small owners who have had to lay off their entire staff. You’re not going read those stories. Companies with 50 or less employees don’t register on the media landscape.

The media is promoting, cheering the shutdown – So you never going to hear about the hardships it’s causing.
My take: When people look at how the Democrat fearmongers wiped out their retirement accounts, their savings, their pension funds – it will sober them up to this bloody farce.

If the rate of #CoronaVirus is actually much higher in the US than reported (the main argument for more testing), then the death rate (the real risk worried about) is also much lower.

The National Institutes of Health is funding the trial, which is taking place at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. The official who disclosed plans for the first participant spoke on condition of anonymity because the move has not been publicly announced.
Public health officials say it will take a year to 18 months to fully validate any potential vaccine.

The goal is purely to check that the vaccines show no worrisome side effects, setting the stage for larger tests.
Dozens of research groups around the world are racing to create a vaccine as COVID-19 cases continue to grow. Importantly, they’re pursuing different types of vaccines — shots developed from new technologies that not only are faster to produce than traditional inoculations but might prove more potent. Some researchers even aim for temporary vaccines, such as shots that might guard people’s health a month or two at a time while longer-lasting protection is developed.
Also in the works: Inovio Pharmaceuticals aims to begin safety tests of its vaccine candidate next month in a few dozen volunteers at the University of Pennsylvania and a testing center in Kansas City, Missouri, followed by a similar study in China and South Korea.
Even if initial safety tests go well, “you’re talking about a year to a year and a half” before any vaccine could be ready for widespread use, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
That still would be a record-setting pace. But manufacturers know the wait — required because it takes additional studies of thousands of people to tell if a vaccine truly protects and does no harm — is hard for a frightened public.
