‘False Dichotomy’: Tim Scott Says ‘Goalposts’ For Flattening The Curve Keep Moving | The Daily Caller:

The “whole point” of flattening the curve “was to make sure that we did not exceed hospital capacity. So, while I respect the need for caution, we are too often presented with a false dichotomy — either saving our economy or saving lives,” Scott continued.
“We’ve seen the goalposts around flattening the curve move, and I think that’s unfortunate, because at the same time we’re doing that, businesses have collapsed, mental and physical health have declined, depths of despair escalate, educational outcomes nosedive, as we wait in our living rooms praying for some good news around therapies and around vaccines,” Scott added

Mexico's President wants answers on Obama's Fast and Furious - TheBlaze

Mexico's President wants answers on Obama's Fast and Furious - TheBlaze:

Mexico's president asked the United States for answers and an apology for the Obama-era gun-running operation known as "Fast and Furious." On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for an investigation into Operation Fast and Furious to prevent it from happening again.
"What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons," Lopez Obrador said during a press conference in Mexico City on Friday.

Now it's up to $4 TRILLION!!----- Let California Twist in the Wind Without a Bailout

The Morning Briefing: Let California Twist in the Wind Without a Bailout
"...There is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome that conservative residents of the Golden State get which prevents them — and me when I lived there — from realizing how completely miserable things have gotten. 

...The progressives have been running the state into the ground financially for years, and now they want to use the present crisis as an opportunity to get some federal bailout money to cover for their past financial sins. 
OK, it’s not just California. 
Jeff wrote yesterday about the Democrat-led western states that have formed a “Pact” to go hat-in-hand to the federal government:

On Monday, the states that formed the West Coast Coronavirus Pact went begging to the federal government for a massive $1 trillion bailout of their bloated state budgets. The states of Washington, Oregon, California, and later, Nevada and Colorado joined in a pact of questionable legality last month to coordinate their responses to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pandemic and the gradual reopening of their economies. Now, the pact members have sent the bill for their failed state budgets to the federal government.

...Now California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to pretend that the above-described scenario is a coronavirus crisis problem that needs immediate attention:

Gavin Newsom

✔@GavinNewsom

NEW: Without federal support, states will be forced to make impossible decisions.

Today—CA, OR, WA, NV, CO, and our legislative leaders have joined together to ask the federal government for $1 trillion to protect our schools, public health, and public safety services.

Since some have commented on people not wearing...

Chuck Ritchard - Since some have commented on people not wearing...Chuck Ritchard
"Since some have commented on people not wearing masks, I thought I would enter the fray and through a little fuel on the fire. 

Actually, detonate a nuclear bomb so to speak.

• First, as the report below indicates, masks aren't effective regardless of type or stated effectiveness. People faces are not all tie same so fit will seriously affect the benefit.
• Second, the masks themselves are an issue. If a disposable mask, the virus will be deposited on the outside on inhale and then a percentage dispersed during exhale. But since not all is dispersed it accumulates and then it continues to be dispersed wherever the person goes. Effectively, the masked person is even worse because they concentrate the virus.
• Third, many pull their masks down and then back up contaminating everything they touch. Some hang them on the mirrors in their cars as the air blows across the mask and contaminates the car and anyone that comes in contact.
• Fourth, then there are reusables. How do you know they are clean? How do you know the soap works?

Finally, where do you dispose of the masks? 

If at the grocery store tgen is there a biohazard safe container? 

Or how about at home, do you place them in the normal trash?
The bottom line is the wearing of masks give a false sense of security. 

They may help some but the option to wear or not wear a mask needs to be personal and not mandatory and above all non-discriminatory."

A new study from South Korea has found that both surgical and reusable cotton masks are ineffective in stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Michael Flynn’s top lawyer makes stunning accusation about Obama’s involvement in Flynn case - TheBlaze

Michael Flynn’s top lawyer makes stunning accusation about Obama’s involvement in Flynn case - TheBlaze:

Michael Flynn's lead attorney, Sidney Powell, claimed on Fox News Sunday that former President Barack Obama was involved in the plot by the Justice Department and FBI to frame Flynn.
Speaking on "Sunday Morning Futures," Powell explained how FBI agents "schemed" against Flynn.
"These agents specifically schemed and planned with each other how to not tip him off that he was even the person being investigated. In fact, according to Comey's testimony that's attached to the exhibits they filed in the motion to dismiss, they just simply said, 'we'd like to send a couple agents by to talk to you,'" Powell said.

Adam Schiff lied about the Trump probe — and the media let him

Adam Schiff lied about the Trump probe — and the media let him

• "...Schiff has filled print and broadcast media since January 2017 claiming that he has seen “more than circumstantial evidence” of a Trump-Putin conspiracy. 
• ...None of the former Obama administration officials who took to the airwaves immediately after Trump’s election to claim collusion had any evidence of it.
• ...Former Pentagon official and now candidate for New York’s 17th Congressional District Evelyn Farkas claimed in a notorious 2017 MSNBC segment that she advised her colleagues to disseminate intelligence so that Trump could not destroy evidence of collusion. Under oath, however, she testified she “didn’t know anything” about Trump staff dealing with Russians.

...The transcripts also represent yet another blow to the media’s credibility.
...No matter what evidence surfaced to prove the collusion story wrong, the media continued to credential the destructive conspiracy theory.

• It didn’t matter when Objective Medusa showed that former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele’s reports were paid for by the Clinton campaign. 
• Or when the Nunes memo explained that the FBI used the Steele dossier to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. 
• It didn’t even matter when resistance messiah Robert Mueller concluded there was no evidence of collusion.

After Mueller filed his report last spring, CNN’s Jake Tapper said that “I don’t know anybody who got anything wrong.” 
Don’t expect anyone in the mainstream media to admit gross journalistic malpractice this time either. The tragic fact is that once-prestigious press organizations, including CNN as well as MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post, weren’t fooled by the collusion hoax. 
They were an essential part of it."

COVID Shutdown Could Lead to Massive 'Deaths of Despair' - Louder With Crowder

COVID Shutdown Could Lead to Massive 'Deaths of Despair' - Louder With Crowder:

Remember, the rules of the shutdown are, if you don't support the shutdown, you hate grandma and want old people to die. I've heard that one for months, as I've been against the shutdown since go. But now that we've been in a shutdown for about two months, other factors are reaching light. Unlike people. Now "deaths of despair" may be on the rise as a result of a forced shutdown from government. According to the rules set by the pro-shutdown sheep, if you support the shutdown, you want people to die. I didn't make the rules. I'm just turning them around on the idiots who did.

Michigan County to 'Involuntarily Detain' Suspected Coronavirus Victims
"A Michigan judge has granted the Kent County Department of Health the authority to arrest suspected coronavirus victims it deems a “health threat.”
On April 6, 2020, 17th Circuit Court Chief Judge Mark Trusock granted an order sought by Kent County Health officer Adam London, who was seeking the power to “involuntarily” detain suspected virus carriers.
In his order, Trusock wrote that “an individual identified as having CDC Criteria for COVID-19 is a health threat to others if not isolated in an Involuntary Isolation Facility is a ‘carrier and health threat [CHT].'”
Further, Trusock ordered, “A CHT … who is presented with a copy of this Order may be involuntarily detained by a peace officer, transported to and detained in an Involuntary Isolation Facility selected by the Health Officer for observation, testing, and/or treatment.”...
