Michigan cities face big financial losses due to coronavirus - mlive.com
"The rainy day is here.
Governments that oversee Michigan cities and other municipalities are feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Local government leaders are forecasting millions of dollars in tax revenue loss, and making plans to try to stay afloat.
...On top of the revenue challenge, governments are having to provide additional staffing, meet higher demands, provide personal protective equipment and more, as the coronavirus remains a threat.
...The problem is hitting Michigan cities regardless of size.
Detroit, Michigan’s largest city, is working to plug a revenue loss in the hundreds of millions of dollars, while Iron Mountain, a small town in the Upper Peninsula, may need to find savings in employee health care and retirement costs because its staffing level never recovered after cuts during the Great Recession.
...The city of Detroit projects a $348 million revenue loss impacting the general fund for the duration of 2020, through June 30, 2021...

Universities hire new diversity czars while collecting federal bailout dollars

• Directors, associates, and administrators will start their new jobs to promote diversity initiatives on campus in the coming months.

Colleges are receiving this money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which specifically outlines each allocation of federal money to each college.
...One of the universities receiving these funds is the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, which announced Thursday that it recently hired a new “director of diversity and community relations” officer, specifically for its business school...

Most U.S. Hospitals Are Empty. Soon They Might Be Closed for Good | Opinion
"Tens of thousands of health care workers across the United States are going without pay today, even as providers in the nation's hot spots struggle to contain the coronavirus pandemic
...But instead of merely preserving hospital beds and other resources, this heavy-handed injunction has created a burden of its own design: a historic number of empty beds in systems left untouched by the pandemic.
At 18 percent of the U.S. economy, health care is a $3.6 trillion industry annually.
By barring all elective surgeries, which covers a huge array of operations, like knee reconstructions or even cancer biopsies, hospitals have been denied billions in revenue in just the last month alone.
Outpatient services account for half of all hospital revenue, which means hospitals are now making, and spending, half what they were this time last year..."

"The reluctance of progressive Democrats to return the country to a normal, functioning status seems more directed at proving the problem was real..." --Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"The Coronavirus scare will go down in history as the first postmodern pandemic, revealing that the actions of postmodernist progressives are more directed toward the maintenance of the problem rather than solving it.
Why would they prolong the pain, one might ask?
Well, it's the same old reasons - it's power and relevance. 

The pandemic gives them both - during the pandemic, they get to exercise power without objection they normally wouldn't and by impoverishing the citizenry through economic shutdowns, they get to dole out money to prove they are relevant.
The reluctance of progressive Democrats to return the country to a normal, functioning status seems more directed at proving the problem was real than healing a nation from what history will record was the greatest self-inflicted economic wound a country could vest on itself.

Tucker Carlson Delivers Another Epic Monologue, Calls Out ‘Egregious Censorship Effort’ Of Big Tech - Chicks On The Right

Tucker Carlson Delivers Another Epic Monologue, Calls Out ‘Egregious Censorship Effort’ Of Big Tech - Chicks On The Right
"...Last night, Carlson addressed troubling censorship by big tech. 
He highlighted the case of the California doctors that have been censored on YouTube.

Mock wrote about these physicians and their video that was making the rounds to millions on the internet.

These doctors had the nerve to question the need to lockdown and compared COVID-19 data to the flu. 
YouTube simply could not allow this and removed their video.

Carlson warned, “…dissent of any kind, is no longer tolerated in this country. Fact-based honesty, which is the soul of science, is under attack, even in hospitals.”

From Fox News:
“People have different opinions,” Carlson said. 
“More informed debate is exactly what we need to make wise decisions going forward, but unfortunately for all of us, informed debate is exactly what the authorities don’t want. 
They want unquestioned obedience, so they’re cracking down on free expression.”...
“The only justification for taking it down was that the two physicians on screen had reached different conclusions from the people currently in charge.” Carlson said.
YouTube’s CEO told CNN it is their policy to remove “medically unsubstantiated” information and anything that goes against World Health Organization recommendations.
This is terrifying.
...Differing medical opinions should be discussed and debated. 
Who among us, if found to have a serious medical condition, does not seek a second opinion?
The WHO has not proven to be an accurate source of information about the coronavirus over the course of this crisis. 
Remember when they initially claimed that the virus could not transmit human to human? 
And more than that, they have shown themselves to be a nakedly political organization.
YouTube is not the only influential platform censoring speech. 
Facebook is also taking part in this dangerous practice...

In a tweet thread on Tuesday, Cooper wrote, "I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd to push [sic] to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID. 
Not only do white conservatives not care about Black life, but my most cynical negative read of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome this massive winnowing of Black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political power."
..."I am saying some obvious things this morning because as a country we are too good at skipping over the audience and we might as well say this to people as often as we can. 
Fuck each and every Trump supporter.

FBI Official Questioned Whether Goal Of Michael Flynn Interview Was ‘To Get Him To Lie’ | The Daily Caller

FBI Official Questioned Whether Goal Of Michael Flynn Interview Was ‘To Get Him To Lie’ | The Daily Caller:

FBI notes unsealed on Wednesday show that bureau officials discussed whether the goal of an interview with Michael Flynn just days into the Trump administration was “to get him to lie” in order to get him fired or in legal jeopardy, Flynn’s lawyers say.
“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” an FBI official wrote in the notes, according to a transcription from Flynn’s attorneys.
Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lead attorney, said Wednesday that the newly unsealed FBI documents show that the FBI “pre-planned a deliberate attack” against Flynn.

Domination of academic departments by the left emboldens faculty to engage in the overt politicization of curricula they would never have attempted 50 years ago.

Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a parallel virus: online instruction in the pursuit of the radical climate agenda.

Insanity: Wash. State Came One Vote Away From Releasing Green River Serial Killer So He Wouldn't Get Wuhan Virus
"Throughout the country, law enforcement has set free thousands of prisoners to “protect them” from COVID-19 inside jails and prisons.
...The rogue’s gallery of convicts is a justice reformer’s dream. 
Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva bragged he let prisoners out of his jail before he was even asked by the ACLU and other justice groups – this while he shut down gun stores so people could not buy guns to protect themselves.
But nothing is more... – INSANE – than what Washington State prison reformers nearly succeeded in doing last week.

The man we now know as the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, was sent to prison for more than 500 years. 

He was convicted of 49 murders of prostitutes, girls on the streets and vulnerable runaways, but he was suspected of committing 71 murders in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.

...And then came the coronavirus and everything changed.

...A legal activist group, Columbia Legal Services, began agitating for inmates over 50 years old to be set free to save them from the virus. 

Ridgeway is 71 years old.

...On Thursday, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that those “really bad people,” including The Green River Killer, would face the coronavirus locked up like everyone else in the country.

The vote was 5-4. 
That means four of the Washington State Supreme Court were ready to empty the state prisons of 2/3 of the prisoners, including Gary Ridgeway...

He asks: "Does anyone believe that contemporary Americans could build another transcontinental railroad in six years?
... America went to the moon in 1969 with supposedly primitive computers and backward engineering.
Does anyone believe we could launch a similar moonshot today?"
...In terms of learning, Hanson asks whether anyone believes that a 2020 college graduate knows half of what a 1950 graduate knew. 
In the 1940s, he says, young people read the works of William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pearl Buck and John Steinbeck.
He doubts that today's high school graduates could even finish "The Good Earth" or "The Grapes of Wrath."

"U.S.—After several embarrassing and widely divergent revisions to the coronavirus projections of infection, hospitalization, and death rate used by government officials around the world to justify shutting down the global economy, experts at John Hopkins have now deployed a state-of-the-art super-scientific computer model and have now determined that between 0 and 12.6 billion people will contract the disease and be completely dead by summer.
“The panel of experts came together to give Americans the true picture of what we are looking at,” said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as he pointed to lots of completely accurate up-to-date charts and graphs from the study. “This is not just the flu. This is going to wipe out between 0 and 12.6 billion people before summer hits.”...
