The Trumpanzee has completely flipped his wig (or whatever that is) now as he screams "I alone can fix this! I alone can fix this!" Mike Pence, Kellyanne Conway, and Stephen Miller egg him on: "More Tide Pods, Mr. President! More Lysol! Much more Lysol! Add some Clorox Mr. President! Rudy called. He's sending over some spit and sweat. Newt is donating an eye! Try some Hamberder meat! Go, Mr. President... more »

Have I had a Covid finger?
I believe that a large portion of the citizens of the Western civilization have been exposed to the virus (and that's the true main reason why the disease is disappearing in many countries). This opinion is confirmed by numerous immunity surveys that have found Covid-19 antibodies in "dozens of percent" of people in many suburbs, districts, or small nations (Santa Clara, Heinsberg, Iran, and many others). Czechia has been spared but I believe that the percentage of immune people is also between 5 and 25 percent here and the fatalities are tiny mainly because the masks guarantee the ... more »

US has 10th* worst COVID-19 death rate in the world: WTH is Trump thinking?
In a press conference on Thursday, April 30, the head of the illegitimate Trump regime said, "Our death totals, our numbers, per million people, are really very, very strong. We're very proud of the job we've done." Okay, we know he lies all the time, but this is ridiculous. The United States has the 10th* worst COVID-19 death rate in the world!

Why Was The U.S. So Late To Recognize The Threat From China
*Bradley A. Thayer & Lianchao Han, RCD:* *Why Was the U.S. So Late to Recognize the China Threat* The recent who-is-weak-on-China verbal war between Biden and Trump captures a fundamental issue in the 2020 race: how to confront China. The next administration’s China policy will be most critical for America’s future as well as the world’s because assumptions about China and the U.S. position in the world are in flux. Every state makes its foreign policy based on assumptions about its society and international politics. These assumptions are usually anchored in the past. While the... more »
