Trump And Republican Death Cult Governors Are Following Japan's Lead In Opening Up Business Way Too Early
Shinzo Abe's right wing government opened up for business too fast-- just as Trump is planning to do-- and bullying easily-bullied governors into doing.

Joel Franco of WSVN has been tracking the progression of the pandemic in Florida since it began. Friday he announced the biggest single day jump.

Nope. Back on that fateful day in 2008, after Chesney decided to become a dog handler, he took his first instruction seriously — these dogs weren’t like pets. They were lethal weapons. De... more »

Are Elected County Sheriffs America’s Last Hope to Fight Medical Tyranny? Some Sheriffs Refusing to Enforce Stay at Home Orders, Siding with Constitutional Rights
