Maine retaliates against restaurant owner who re-opened despite state lockdown - TheBlaze
Maine retaliates against restaurant owner who re-opened despite state lockdown - TheBlaze:
The state of Maine has retaliated against a restaurant owner who re-opened his establishment in defiance of Gov. Janet Mills's stay-at-home order.
Rick Savage, who owns Sunday River Brewing Co. in Bethel, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson this week that he would re-open his restaurant to dine-in customers one month sooner than Mills's most recent lockdown order allows. He said he did not think the state would do anything to him, and even read on-air what he said was Mills's phone number.
"We've had enough of it," Savage told Carlson.

“Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is suggesting that states should automatically mail ballots to eligible voters for the November elections, calling it a "better approach" than requiring them to request mail-in ballots.”
USA Vote Fraud Central--John Slenes shared a post.
✅ Which party generally encourages this sort of voting? Why?
✅ Ballot counting procedures are widely varied and open to fraud.
✅ If, IF you like vote integrity, these ideas ought to scare YOU!!!✅ Which party generally encourages this sort of voting? Why?
Oh please yes, let’s do this.
I bet we can get everyone to vote this way, living or dead, citizen or not...

Buying and distorting the "news"-----Facebook is Spending Millions to Plant Radical Activists in Local Newspapers | Frontpagemag
Facebook is Spending Millions to Plant Radical Activists in Local Newspapers | Frontpagemag
"When the Alliance Defending Freedom helped a local church sue Chattanooga for banning its drive-in prayer service, the article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press repeated the Southern Poverty Law Center's smear of the religious civil rights organization as a hate group.
But the reporter who wrote the article was no ordinary employee.
Wyatt Massey was one of the 225 members of Report for America's 'corps' who are planted in local newsrooms to promote the radical agendas of the left-wing group.
...While Report for America claims that it’s funding local journalism, what it’s actually doing is embedding social justice activists in local papers who are often targeted at pursuing a narrow political agenda.
...ordinary readers of local publications and stations are often not told that what they’re reading isn’t real local reporting: it’s the work of activists funded by a national organization and its wealthy backers.
The lack of transparency is dishonest, unethical, and a new low even in the era of fake news.
...Facebook has often been accused of spreading fake news.
Here it, along with the Google News Initiative, which kicked in $400,000, is literally financing a fake news project which pays half the salaries of the reporters it embeds in local newsrooms, while its own funding comes from wealthy left-wing groups...."

Pennsylvania Doctor: Coronavirus May Be Less Deadly than Feared
Pennsylvania Doctor: Coronavirus May Be Less Deadly than Feared:
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Dr. Donald Yealy said on Thursday he believes the coronavirus death rate is much lower than feared, and he sees hospitals returning to normalcy soon.
“We’ve learned that way more people, far, far more people have actually been exposed to the infection without any knowledge of it,” Dr. Yealy, chair of emergency medicine explained during an extended conversation with reporters. “That makes the overall death rate much lower. Many people just didn’t feel sick at all and recovered without difficulty.”

Study claiming new coronavirus can be transmitted by people without symptoms was flawed | Science | AAAS
"A paper published on 30 January in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) about the first four people in Germany infected with a novel coronavirus made many headlines because it seemed to confirm what public health experts feared: that someone who has no symptoms from infection with the virus, named 2019-nCoV, can still transmit it to others.
That might make controlling the virus much harder.
...“There’s no doubt after reading [the NEJM] paper that asymptomatic transmission is occurring,” Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told journalists. “This study lays the question to rest.”
But now, it turns out that information was wrong.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German government’s public health agency, has written a letter to NEJM to set the record straight, even though it was not involved in the paper..."

Flight path curses Michigan governor over coronavirus lockdown
Flight path curses Michigan governor over coronavirus
"...Ed Frederick, 45, spent about an hour charting a path over Grand Rapids that spelled out this message for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: “F U,” with an arrow pointing directly over the governor’s mansion.
Frederick said he was inspired to hop in a propeller plane Friday morning after Whitmer announced an extension of the state’s emergency lockdown order through May 28.
“It’s a power trip,” Frederick told The Post.
...Frederick believes Whitmer, a Democrat, has settled with a “draconian” statewide lockdown because a limited lockdown around the major city wouldn’t sit well with her base.
“[Whitmer] says this is for the safety of Michigan, but I think it’s for the safety of her keeping her votes, because the southeast is highly democratic,” he said...
