The sun has entered a ‘lockdown’ period, which could cause freezing weather, famine
"Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say.
The sun is currently in a period of “solar minimum,” meaning activity on its surface has fallen dramatically.
Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of sunshine “recession” ever recorded as sunspots have virtually disappeared.
...NASA scientists fear it could be a repeat of the Dalton Minimum, which happened between 1790 and 1830 — leading to periods of brutal cold, crop loss, famine and powerful volcanic eruptions.
Temperatures plummeted by up to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over 20 years, devastating the world’s food production...

I hadn't seen this!-----McEnany Pulls a Dirty Trick, Uses USA Today Fact Check to Hammer a Reporter

McEnany Pulls a Dirty Trick, Uses USA Today Fact Check to Hammer a Reporter
"During a press conference yesterday White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnay pulled a dirty trick on the White House press corps.
She used a USA Today fact check to swat away a nasty reporter who tried to get her with a “gotcha question.”
The reporter asked “I want to ask you about the FDA guidance on the Abbott tests. But firstly, you’ve talked about all of this preparation that the Trump administration did, but then how come on January 2020, the stockpile was as low as it was on supplies like face masks, like N95s?”
McEnany, as usual was tactful yet brutal “Yeah, it’s a really good question. It’s a really important question. 

Perhaps I should redirect your question to President Obama who left the stockpile empty. 

And there was a USA Today fact check of that.”
“He left the cupboards bare, as the president noted, and USA Today said there’s no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises, ” McEnay added. “So at the H1N1, it was full. 

At the end of H1N1, it was empty and President Obama left it empty and took President Trump to refill it.”

"...The reporter then thought she had McEnany “Wait, your National Defense Biodefense Strategy came out in September 2018 and the President has been now in office for over three years at this point.”

McEnany handled it truthfully and brilliantly...

Can we trust Covid modelling? More evidence from Sweden | The Spectator
"At last we’re getting a debate about Covid-19 modelling.
When people finally got to look under the hood of the famous Imperial College study, they found twisted and tangled code.
And most of the model’s predictions bear little resemblance to what is actually happening. 
Some defend the models by saying that their predictions turned out to be wrong only because governments imposed harsher restrictions than the coders expected.
If so, we have a perfect experiment. 
Sweden did not close borders, shut down schools, businesses, restaurants, gyms or shopping centres and did not issue stay at home orders.
So it should be the one country where the models fit.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer admitted Thursday she doesn’t have any evidence to back up her allegation that anti-lockdown protesters spread the coronavirus to rural areas in her state.

What Will It Take To Reopen U.S.? CDC Says 'Aggressive' Contact Tracing : Shots - Health News : NPR
"It's the question on everyone's minds: What will it take for us to come out of this period of extreme social distancing and return to some semblance of normal life?

...CDC Director Robert Redfield spoke with NPR on Thursday, saying that the plan relies on not only ramped-up testing but "very aggressive" contact tracing of those who do test positive for the coronavirus, and a major scale-up of personnel to do the necessary work.
Contact tracing is the process of finding and reaching out to the contacts of someone who tests positive for an infectious pathogen.
Those contacts are then quarantined or monitored, and if any of them are also positive, the process is repeated with their contacts, and on and on, until the chain of transmission is halted.
It's a labor-intensive, time-consuming practice that for decades has been a fundamental public health tool for containing infectious diseases..."

It is not yet clear what conclusions will arise from Durham's review. However, Barr suggested last month that a day of reckoning may be on the horizon.
"My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness, there was something far more troubling here; and we're going to get to the bottom of it," Barr said last month when asked about the investigation.
"And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted," he declared.

Megyn Kelly tells Glenn Beck: Biden allegation is a 'haunting case' - TheBlaze

Megyn Kelly tells Glenn Beck: Biden allegation is a 'haunting case' - TheBlaze:

Kelly later told Beck that Reade is in a particularly precarious situation because she has come out with an accusation against a political leader in an election year.
Pointing to Christine Blasey Ford's accusations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Kelly said that while the #MeToo movement has been beneficial in many cases, it has also become problematic in many ways.
The news veteran said that society has "overcorrected," and in many cases, the accused hasn't received fair due process.
"That's not OK, either," she insisted.
If Reade is telling the truth, however, Kelly said that she will be the perfect person to expose "the hypocrisy" of some Democrats.
