What Does One Do When The System Pukes Up Two Unfit Candidates To Lead The Country?
The newest NBC News/*Wall Street Journal* poll we were talking about earlier today, shows that Biden is outpolling Señor Trumpanzee by 7 points among registered voters.

Of those who have come to the conclusion that neither Trump nor Biden is fit to be president, 60% (presumably supporters of Bernie and Elizabeth Warren) say they will vote for Biden and just a minuscule 10% say they will vote for Trump (pre... more »

When State Democrat Governors go against their own citizens —
Governors are headed for a showdown in the next week or so over the continued closure of businesses for the pandemic from not only President Trump but their own citizenry. Every day, the rumblings become louder as people idle away their days and watch their livelihoods go down the toilet. Not only do they worry about how to pay their bills but every day that people remain idle, so does the means and the manufacturers of food products remain closed.

Mary Williams Walsh of the New York Times reports that Illinois is seeking a bailout from Congress for its pensions and cities: Illinois needs more than $40 billion in relief from the federal government because of the coronavirus pandemic — including $10 billion to help bail out its beleaguered pension system, according to a letter the Illinois Senate president sent to members of Congress. *The letter, sent this week by State Senator Don Harmon, also seeks a $15 billion grant to “stabilize the state’s budget,” $9.6 billion in direct aid to Illinois’s cities, $6 billion for the stat... more »

Pandemics & Personal Liberty
*"Public health policy should not be exempt from the 'non-aggression principle.' Force must be prohibited from interpersonal relationships, except when used in self-defence or retaliation. "In the case of a highly contagious lethal disease, I believe that screening potential carriers, and containing them via quarantine, represents an act of self-defence.

Could the Coronavirus Change the Role That Big Government Plays?
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The persistence of American anti-government ideology suggests that for the United States, the answer to that question is largely “no.” One wonders what the private reaction was in the White House, or in conservative political circles in the United States, to the video that British prime minister Boris Johnson recorded upon his release from the hospital while recovering from the coronavirus. Johnson’s message to his fellow citizens was largely a paean to the National Health Service (NHS), which he praised for saving his life ... more »
8 Policy Recommendations for Dealing With the ‘New’ Turkey
*Daniel Pipes* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The world is witnessing in slow-motion a second Iran in the making, less violent and dramatic, more sophisticated and potentially more enduring. From 2002, when Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the AK Party reached power, until about 2016, a debate raged among Turkey-watchers in the United States: Is Ankara still an ally? Actually, due to nostalgia, that debate dragged on long after it was obvious that Turkey no longer was an ally. That issue, happily, is now closed; NATO membership notwithstanding, nobody seriously makes this cla... more »

Should Billionaires Get Bail Outs?
Should we bail out billionaires? Obviously not. But should billionaire-owned businesses qualify for help? This is an issue raised by your friend and mine, Richard Branson and his long blog ostensibly written to Virgin employees, but very much a publicity counteroffensive rebutting the charges laid at his Caribbean door.
