Also like Uber, it has received enormous cash injections from notable investors, including in this case Alphabet (the parent company of Google) and billionaire tech tycoon Peter Thiel. Jared also had a large share in the company. And like Uber, it continues to lose money, posting a $57 million loss in 2018 and a $110 million in 2019.
Even superficially tested, the product Oscar has come up with has serious flaws; Mother Jones noted that the locator incorrectly advised a Maryland resident that the nearest coronavirus test facility was in Kansas, over 1,000 miles away.
Jared, once a co-owner of the company, married Ivanka Trump in 2009 and has since become a close confidant of his father-in-law, and is a regular feature in the White House. He holds top secret security clearances and is often cited as one of the architects of Trump’s Middle East Plan, the so-called “Deal of the Century.” The New York Times reported that he advised Trump to downplay the severity of the COVID-19 threat, and to criticize the media’s apparent overblown coverage, a decision that appears tragically misguided today.

Meanwhile, American pharmaceutical company Gilead is involved in a legal battle with the Chinese government to deny them the right to any potential vaccine, arguing that the Chinese would likely give it away free to the world, thus destroying their profits.
US pharma company Gilead, which owns the most promising COVID-19 vaccine, is booming in "pandemic stock sales," preparing to sell it for $50-100/person, and in a legal battle to deny the Chinese gov access, because China would make the vaccine free and ship it to the global south https://t.co/QmQSfnMdKI pic.twitter.com/nQcxvq4HUX — .

The Trump administration went from describing the incoming pandemic as a “hoax” to attempting to deflect the blame onto China itself, the president consistently calling COVID-19 the “Chinese Virus,” with corporate media, both Democrat and Republican-aligned calling for “consequences” for the supposed Chinese mishandling of the outbreak. While there is much that could be criticized, the World Health Organization has praised the overall handling of the crisis in China.
The Kushner family’s ties to for-profit healthcare companies underscore the myriad of conflicts of interests that billionaire businessmen have, making them particularly unsuited to holding public office. In the 1970s, President Carter was forced to give up his peanut farm, the public considering it too much of a liability. Today, plutocrats like Trump, Tom Steyer or Michael Bloomberg can run for the highest office with limited resistance. While the coronavirus spells doom for millions of Americans and their businesses, at least America can rest assured that the Kushners won’t go hungry.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-21--Worst Week For Stock Market Since 2008 & “Jobless Filings Are Growing Geometrically”

Just a few weeks ago everything seemed completely normal to most people , but now fear of the coronavirus has caused U.S. stock prices to absolutely implode .
The stock market crash of 2020 will forever be mentioned alongside the crashes of 1929 , 1987 and 2008 , and by the time it is over it could potentially end up being the largest of them all .
Close to a third of all stock market wealth in the entire country has already been wiped out , and many experts are warning that the worst is yet to come .

Sadly , more layoffs are coming , and we are now being warned to brace ourselves for job loss numbers that once would have been unthinkable… Please pray for those that are losing their jobs , because most of them will not be able to find work for the foreseeable future .
What we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic downturn .
In her most recent article , Annie Lowrey described this as an economic “ shock ” that is “ more sudden and severe than anyone alive has ever experienced ” … What is happening is a shock to the American economy more sudden and severe than anyone alive has ever experienced .
The unemployment rate climbed to its apex of 9.9 percent 23 months after the formal start of the Great Recession .

Just a few weeks ago everything seemed completely normal to most people, but now fear of the coronavirus has caused U.S. stock prices to absolutely implode. The stock market crash of 2020 will forever be mentioned alongside the crashes of 1929, 1987 and 2008, and by the time it is over it could potentially end up being the largest of them all. Close to a third of all stock market wealth in the entire country has already been wiped out, and many experts are warning that the worst is yet to come. Of course, the authorities are going to do their very best to try to prop up the market, but despite the most dramatic intervention by the Federal Reserve that we have ever witnessed, U.S. stocks just had their worst week since 2008…
The Dow dropped more than 17% for the week, its biggest one-week fall since October 2008, when it slid 18.2%. The S&P 500 lost more than 13% week to date after dropping another 11.5% last week. The Nasdaq fell 12.6%. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also had their worst weekly performances since the financial crisis in 2008.
And when you look at the numbers for the entire month so far, they are even more depressing…
The Dow is down more than 24% for March and is currently on pace for its biggest one-month fall since September 1931. The S&P 500 has dropped 22% month to date and is headed for its worst monthly performance since May 1940.
Overall, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen a whopping 35.2 percent from the all-time record high that we witnessed in February, and the S&P 500 has fallen 32.1 percent from the all-time record high that it set earlier this year.
In all of U.S. history, we have never seen a market crash of such speed and ferocity.
At this point, all of the stock market gains that we have witnessed since Donald Trump became president have been completely wiped out.
Ouch.
I know that many of you may find this difficult to believe, but stock prices are still substantially overvalued.
According to historical norms, stocks valuation ratios are still way too high, and so stocks still have a lot further to fall until they get back to “normal”.
Of course, these aren’t “normal” times, and so there is no telling how far prices could eventually fall.
As financial markets continue to go wildly up and down, an increasing number of financial firms are inevitably going to get into very serious trouble.
On Friday, many were absolutely stunned when Ronin Capital completely imploded…
Well, no more: according to CNBC’s Scott Wapner, one of the CME’s direct clearing firms was unable to meet its capital requirements on Friday, forcing the exchange to step in and invoke its “emergency protocols” to auction off the firm’s portfolios. The firm in question: Ronin Capital, which on its website says “seeks the best and brightest people who embrace our Firm’s culture, and can thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial trading environment.” Apparently, that also meant being unable to quantify your risk exposure.
Sadly, what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.
Meanwhile, the greatest corporate debt bubble in history appears as though it is about to burst in a major way. According to Bloomberg, “the amount of distressed debt in the U.S. alone has doubled” over the past couple of weeks…
In less than two weeks, the amount of distressed debt in the U.S. alone has doubled to a half-trillion dollars as the collapse of oil prices and the fallout from the coronavirus shutters entire industries. In all, U.S. corporate bonds that yield at least 10 percentage points above Treasuries, as well as loans that trade for less than 80 cents on the dollar, have swelled to $533 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
But most ordinary Americans are not really too concerned about such matters.
What many Americans are worried about these days is whether or not they will actually have jobs next week.
As the U.S. literally shuts down from coast to coast, Americans are losing jobs at a pace that is mind blowing, and we are being told that state jobless claims “are growing geometrically”…
State jobless filings are growing geometrically, a signal of how the national numbers will change when we have them. Last Monday, Colorado had 400 people apply for unemployment insurance. This Tuesday: 6,800. California has seen its daily filings jump from 2,000 to 80,000. Oregon went from 800 to 18,000. In Connecticut, nearly 2 percent of the state’s workers declared that they were newly jobless on a single day. Many other states are reporting the same kinds of figures.
When I first read those numbers, they took my breath away.
And since most workers in this country are living paycheck to paycheck, large numbers of them will almost instantly be struggling to pay their basic expenses once they are let go.
Sadly, more layoffs are coming, and we are now being warned to brace ourselves for job loss numbers that once would have been unthinkable…
The first real bad U.S. economic data from the coronavirus outbreak was released on Thursday, as initial jobless claims surged 70,000 to 281,000, the highest level in 2.5 years. But that is not anything compared with what is in store. David Choi, an economist from Goldman Sachs, says initial claims for the week ending March 21 may jump to a seasonally adjusted 2.25 million.
Please pray for those that are losing their jobs, because most of them will not be able to find work for the foreseeable future.
What we are dealing with is not just another economic downturn. In her most recent article, Annie Lowrey described this as an economic “shock” that is “more sudden and severe than anyone alive has ever experienced”…
What is happening is a shock to the American economy more sudden and severe than anyone alive has ever experienced. The unemployment rate climbed to its apex of 9.9 percent 23 months after the formal start of the Great Recession. Just a few weeks into the domestic coronavirus pandemic, and just days into the imposition of emergency measures to arrest it, nearly 20 percent of workers report that they have lost hours or lost their job. One payroll and scheduling processor suggests that 22 percent of work hours have evaporated for hourly employees, with three in 10 people who would normally show up for work not going as of Tuesday. Absent a strong governmental response, the unemployment rate seems certain to reach heights not seen since the Great Depression or even the miserable late 1800s.
So how bad could things ultimately get?
Well, Goldman Sachs is now forecasting that on an annualized basis U.S. GDP will plunge 24 percent in the second quarter…
Goldman Sachs economists on Friday forecast an unprecedented 24% decline in second quarter gross domestic product, following a 6% decline in the first quarter, based on the economy’s sudden and historic shutdown as the country responds to the coronavirus pandemic.
If that projection is anywhere close to accurate, we are about to see economic suffering that will be off the charts.
Needless to say, cries for help from the federal government will soon become overwhelming. At this point, even billionaires such as Ray Dalio are pleading for the government to do more…
As the coronavirus spread Thursday, Bridgewater’s Ray Dalio said the outbreak will cost U.S. corporations up to $4 trillion, and “a lot of people are going to be broke.” “What’s happening has not happened in our lifetime before. … What we have is a crisis,” the Bridgewater founder said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “There will also be individuals who have very big losses. … There’s a need for the government to spend more money, a lot more money.”
So a broke government that is already 23.5 trillion dollars in debt is supposed to borrow and spend trillions more to bail everyone out?
Good luck with all that.
We have reached the beginning of the end.
We have reached a time when everyone and everything is going to be shaken, and life is never going to go back to the way it was before.
But as I keep stressing, now is not a time for fear.
With God’s help, we can get through this, but God’s plan for your future may end up looking radically different from what your plan for the future would have looked like.

93% of Muslims in American Government Do Not and Will Not Express Support for the US Constitution! How Long Before the People Respond?
“It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” -Hassan Al-Banna “The West is tremendously naive about the danger of these various Islamic organizations.” -Dr. Mamoun Fandy, Middle East expert on the network of organizations around the Muslim Brotherhood
Fifty years ago, I could have, and probably would have, been called a conspiracy theorist for warning Americans of the coming judgments upon this country through the people that the Lord is using to do so (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). I’m talking about subversive Muslims that are not here to assimilate but to conquer, just ask them.
Today, theory is far from this information laid before you because we see this all playing out before our eyes in real time. Theory no, conspiracy yes (Jeremiah 11:9).
JIHAD WATCH Reported that 93% of Muslim Public Officials Would Not Express Support for the Constitution They Swore to Uphold
It’s more than just about having three Muslims in Congress. I think symbolically it has great value, but I won’t rest until 2020 we have five more members of Congress; 2022 and 24, we have ten more Muslims in Congress. In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress. Then we’re talking about Madame Chair Rashida. We’re talking about Madame Chair Ilhan. Hell, we could be saying Speaker of the House Ilhan, Speaker of the House Rashida, Senator Rashida, Governor Ilhan, President Fatima, Vice President Aziza, Inshah’ Allah…
Each and every one of us has a directive to represent Islam, in all of our imperfections, but to represent Islam and let the world know that Muslims are here to stay, and Muslims are a part of America. And we will, we will have a Muslim caucus that is sizable, that is formidable, and that is there for you. -U.S. Congressman Andre Carson at the CAIR Community Congressional Reception, January 10, 2019
People in public office at the local, state, and federal levels are required to take an oath of office that requires them to swear, or affirm, to support the U.S. Constitution. This is based on Article 6, Clause 3 of that Constitution (the “Oaths Clause”): The Senators and Representatives [in Congress] before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution…
As David Shestokas noted:
This constitutional requirement is binding upon every government official in the United States from state governors and judges to members of city councils, police officers, firefighters or board members of mosquito abatement districts and library boards.[1]
The 2019 elections saw an increase in the number of Muslims re-elected and newly elected to public office across the United States, and as part of their oaths of office they each swear to support the U.S. Constitution. However, as I showed in my latest book Islamic Doctrine versus the U.S. Constitution: The Dilemma for Muslim Public Officials,[2] there are many core tenets of Islam that are in direct conflict with much of that Constitution.
In theory, however, one would think that after a Muslim public official had publicly taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution, having to publicly choose between either following that Constitution or following Islamic Doctrine would be simple: a Muslim public official would abide by the oath of office and choose the Constitution.[3]
So I decided to put that to the test. In Chapters 10 and 11 of my latest book I provided a number of questions that could be asked of a Muslim public official and that require that official to choose between the Constitution and Islamic Doctrine. I put four of those questions into an e-mail and individually sent that e-mail to eighty Muslim public officials across the United States.
We shall first look at the four questions I used and then examine the variety of responses I received. I then list the Muslim public officials, by State, who did not respond to what, considering their oath of office, should have been simple questions to answer. This is followed by my concluding remarks. Article link here:
What is it that the American people do not understand when it comes to what is taking place here in the homeland? Look to Europe and you will soon understand.
What our forefathers and veterans have fought off concerning our sworn enemies (Say they), the American people are now accepting, and that to their own demise.

Americans have been exposed to constant chaos and trauma since at least, the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The media, since that time, has been used to create a state of mind that is always reacting to a frightening stimulus.

Report:  Trump DOJ Requests Congress For Power To Petition Judges To Indefinitely Detain You During An Emergency

The move has tapped into a broader fear among civil liberties advocates and Donald Trump ’ s critics — that the president will use a moment of crisis to controversial policy changes .

The move has tapped into a broader fear among civil liberties advocates and Donald Trump’s critics — that the president will use a moment of crisis to push for controversial policy changes. Already, he has cited the pandemic as a reason for heightening border restrictions and restricting asylum claims. He has also pushed for further tax cuts as the economy withers, arguing that it would soften the financial blow to Americans. And even without policy changes, Trump has vast emergency powers that he could legally deploy right now to try and slow the coronavirus outbreak.
The DOJ requests — which are unlikely to make it through a Democratic-led House — span several stages of the legal process, from initial arrest to how cases are processed and investigated
In one of the documents, the department proposed that Congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court proceedings “whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue of any natural disaster, civil disobedience, or other emergency situation.”
The proposal would also grant those top judges broad authority to pause court proceedings during emergencies. It would apply to “any statutes or rules of procedure otherwise affecting pre-arrest, post-arrest, pre-trial, trial, and post-trial procedures in criminal and juvenile proceedings and all civil process and proceedings,” according to draft legislative language the department shared with Congress. In making the case for the change, the DOJ document wrote that individual judges can currently pause proceedings during emergencies, but that their proposal would make sure all judges in any particular district could handle emergencies “in a consistent manner.”
The request raised eyebrows because of its potential implications for habeas corpus –– the constitutional right to appear before a judge after arrest and seek release.
“Not only would it be a violation of that, but it says ‘affecting pre-arrest,’” said Norman L. Reimer, the executive director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. “So that means you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decide that the emergency or the civil disobedience is over. I find it absolutely terrifying. Especially in a time of emergency, we should be very careful about granting new powers to the government.”
When provision for video conferencing were put into the document they were called into question.
“Video teleconferencing may be used to conduct an appearance under this rule,” read a draft of potential new language for Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5(f), crossing out the phrase “if the defendant consents.”
“Video teleconferencing may be used to arraign a defendant,” read draft text of rule 10(c), again striking out the phrase “if the defendant consents.”
But what is the defendant doesn’t consent? Well, tough luck!
“If it were with the consent of the accused person it would be fine,” Reimer said. “But if it’s not with the consent of the accused person, it’s a terrible road to go down. We have a right to public trials. People have a right to be present in court.”
And while I have no love for AOC’s worldview, the unconfirmed report prompted Doug Stafford, the chief strategist for Rand Paul to tweet his agreement with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who criticized such a measure.
Agree — Doug Stafford (@dougstafford) March 21, 2020
They aren’t the only ones.
Senator Mike Lee tweeted “OVER MY DEAD BODY.”
OVER MY DEAD BODY https://t.co/B8BRbvRDDa — Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) March 21, 2020
Rep. Earl Blumenauer tweeted, “This is wrong and must not be allowed to happen.”
This is wrong and must not be allowed to happen.https://t.co/yclFlr6WAN — Earl Blumenauer (@repblumenauer) March 21, 2020
Rep. Justin Amash tweeted, “Congress must loudly reply NO.”
Congress must loudly reply NO. “The Justice Department has quietly asked Congress for the ability to ask chief judges to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies.” https://t.co/B0TL8y6Sbh — Justin Amash (@justinamash) March 21, 2020
Arizona state Sen. Martín Quezada tweeted, “That would be a hard no.”
The more this hysteria and overreaction of government to something that appears to infect and kill far less than the annual flu, the more the government will seek to usurp its authority and engage in more tyranny, all in the name of public safety and national security while doing the very things that impact both.
People’s liberties have already been under attack in this country for some time.
As I’ve pointed out, executive orders remain in place, many of which are unconstitutional that are a threat to the people’s liberty and security.
Just remember, President Trump has already expressed he would rather act first and then provide people due process.
That was on the issue of the right to keep and bear arms. This is regarding an “invisible enemy.”
Bill Barr is also in support of unconstitutional red flag laws, unconstitutional asset forfeiture and seeks to prosecute people like Julian Assange for exposing the crimes of our government. Now, it appears, they want to limit due process over an alleged virus.

NY Governor Cuomo Demands Socialist Economy As He Rains Down Tyranny : “ What I Do Will Affect You & What You Do Will Affect Me ” The absolute pandemonium and hysteria that has led to the edge of martial law , the shutting down of businesses and mass violation of the people ’ s rights over an “ invisible enemy ” to which hardly anyone can name anyone with certainty who either has the coronavirus or has died from it , is an amazing thing to watch .
Even more amazing is the doublespeak of known tyrants like New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about his daily business , keeping big government open , even expanding it with the help of the Army and National Guard that President Trump has authorized in his state .
And recently , he had the audacity to talk about what he does affects others and what they do affects him , primarily his health .
First , understand that President Donald Trump stood boldly at the State of the Union address and told the people of the united States that we would never be a socialist country .
Don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As soon as central banking was introduced , we became a socialist country , like it or not .
Furthermore , the mass money printing by the Federal Reserve just in the past week is clear evidence that President Trump ’ s words ring very hollow and the current stimulus bill is even more evidence of government socialism .
However , even Cuomo is engaged in it , which is not surprising .
In a socialist economy , the state takes over the manufacture and distribution of goods and services .
The governor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a system to fight to the overblown threat of the coronavirus .
From Zero Hedge this afternoon : Instead of sitting around and complaining about how too much of the US supply chain is dependent on China , Cuomo urged Trump to use the DPA [ Defense Production Act ] to develop a plan and tell factories how much of which critical items they should produce .
This way , Cuomo said , it will end the bidding wars between states that led to New York purchasing medical masks that typically cost well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 6 a mask .
Cuomo is advocating the state step in and take control of the manufacture of medical supplies and possibly other goods and services .
We know how well such a system worked in Venezuela .
“ I say forget the voluntary partnership—order the companies to produce it .
Let the federal government do it so the private company doesn ’ t end up marketing with all these states that are competing .
We paid 75 cents for a mask and now we ’ re paying $ 7 dollars .
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Let the federal government just take the power of supply and distribution , ” Cuomo said .
Here ’ s Cuomo ’ s remarks on the subject and notice how he says , “ So we ’ re going to put out an Executive Order today .
New York State on pause .
Policies that assure uniform safety for everyone .
Uniform safety for everyone .
Why ?
Because what I do will affect you and what you do will affect me .
Talk about community and interconnection and interdependence .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We need everyone to be safe .
Otherwise no one can be safe.
” In a few weeks ’ time , no one will be safe in New York because no one will have anything , not food , not their jobs or businesses because the state is killing it all to bring in a New World Order .
Though Cuomo says , “ God bless you , ” God isn ’ t even in his thinking .
He has not appealed to God .
He doesn ’ t even know what God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been engaging in the tyranny has as governor all these years .
He ’ s a devil .
Cuomo ’ s lies and deception can be read here in a transcript of the above video .
Brian at High Impact Flix has a great response to all of this and pushes for the idea of responsibility , liberty and freedom , things the people of the united States used to believe in , but are so quickly allowing their rights to be stripped from them over what they are told from politicians and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and day out .
Though there is some language some may find offensive , try and focus on what the message he presents means and how we should respond .
However in this case , they are all too eager to accept the lies of these same people and submit to fear rather than trust in the Living God , who through Moses said : Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty .
2 I will say of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my fortress : my God ; in him will I trust .
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler , and from the noisome pestilence .
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers , and under his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy shield and buckler .
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ; nor for the destruction that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shall fall at thy side , and ten thousand at thy right hand ; but it shall not come nigh thee .
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked .
9 Because thou hast made the Lord , which is my refuge , even the most High , thy habitation ; 10 There shall no evil befall thee , neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling .

NY Governor Cuomo Demands Socialist Economy As He Rains Down Tyranny : “What I Do Will Affect You & What You Do Will Affect Me”
The absolute pandemonium and hysteria that has led to the edge of martial law, the shutting down of businesses and mass violation of the people’s rights over an “invisible enemy” to which hardly anyone can name anyone with certainty who either has the coronavirus or has died from it, is an amazing thing to watch. Even more amazing is the doublespeak of known tyrants like New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who continues about his daily business, keeping big government open, even expanding it with the help of the Army and National Guard that President Trump has authorized in his state. And recently, he had the audacity to talk about what he does affects others and what they do affects him, primarily his health.
First, understand that President Donald Trump stood boldly at the State of the Union address and told the people of the united States that we would never be a socialist country. Don’t remember? Let me remind you.
Too late!
As soon as central banking was introduced, we became a socialist country, like it or not.
Furthermore, the mass money printing by the Federal Reserve just in the past week is clear evidence that President Trump’s words ring very hollow and the current stimulus bill is even more evidence of government socialism.
However, even Cuomo is engaged in it, which is not surprising.
Kurt Nimmo points out:
In a socialist economy, the state takes over the manufacture and distribution of goods and services. The governor of New York is demanding just such a system to fight to the overblown threat of the coronavirus.
From Zero Hedge this afternoon:
Instead of sitting around and complaining about how too much of the US supply chain is dependent on China, Cuomo urged Trump to use the DPA [Defense Production Act] to develop a plan and tell factories how much of which critical items they should produce.
This way, Cuomo said, it will end the bidding wars between states that led to New York purchasing medical masks that typically cost well under a dollar for more than $6 a mask.
Cuomo is advocating the state step in and take control of the manufacture of medical supplies and possibly other goods and services. We know how well such a system worked in Venezuela.
“I say forget the voluntary partnership—order the companies to produce it. Let the federal government do it so the private company doesn’t end up marketing with all these states that are competing. We paid 75 cents for a mask and now we’re paying $7 dollars. Why? Because California will pay $6… Let the federal government just take the power of supply and distribution,” Cuomo said.
Here’s Cuomo’s remarks on the subject and notice how he says, “So we’re going to put out an Executive Order today. New York State on pause. Policies that assure uniform safety for everyone. Uniform safety for everyone. Why? Because what I do will affect you and what you do will affect me. Talk about community and interconnection and interdependence. This is the very realistic embodiment of that. We need everyone to be safe. Otherwise no one can be safe.”
In a few weeks’ time, no one will be safe in New York because no one will have anything, not food, not their jobs or businesses because the state is killing it all to bring in a New World Order.
Here’s Cuomo.
Though Cuomo says, “God bless you,” God isn’t even in his thinking. He has not appealed to God. He doesn’t even know what God has said or he would not have been engaging in the tyranny has as governor all these years. He’s a devil.
Cuomo’s lies and deception can be read here in a transcript of the above video.
Brian at High Impact Flix has a great response to all of this and pushes for the idea of responsibility, liberty and freedom, things the people of the united States used to believe in, but are so quickly allowing their rights to be stripped from them over what they are told from politicians and media that lie to them day in and day out.
Though there is some language some may find offensive, try and focus on what the message he presents means and how we should respond.
However in this case, they are all too eager to accept the lies of these same people and submit to fear rather than trust in the Living God, who through Moses said:
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-23--Will There Be 2020 Elections This November?

With the emergency measures taking place because of the COVID-19 pandemic causing schools to close , many businesses to shut down , orders for no more than a few people gathering in public for any event .
Elections postponed in some states , stay at home orders increasing everywhere , along with some elected officials testing positive for COVID-19 and some getting sick .
This indicates that soon all elected officials are going to have to conduct business on a remote basis via the internet rather than gathering together , as they always have in the past .
What all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be implemented because of this disease means is , the 2020 presidential general elections may not take place at all .
Most of the remaining primary elections will be postponed by months pushing the process too close to the time of the national conventions as well as no one running can campaign , presently .
Other problems may arise in the meantime , such as the possibility that Biden and Sanders may be infected with the virus , after attending rallies and physically interacting with people in the crowds .
If they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a very good chance of surviving it , considering both men are in their 70s .
If this scenario were to happen , the Democrats would end up having absolutely no one as their candidate for President , causing the entire primary elections process to have to be sacked and completely redone from scratch .
Since the Democratic National Convention is scheduled to take place on July 13 and the Republican National Convention on August 27 , it becomes apparent that neither will happen as planned and will have to be postponed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ primary elections along with both conventions being moved to a later date , or canceled altogether , you begin to realize that the 2020 general Presidential elections are not going to happen at all .
Since COVID-19 is just now reaching its peak here in the US and the number of cases will not begin to decrease until about the middle of April , things will not return to normal for quite some time .
