It's Funny When Republican Crackpots Get Mad At Each Other In Public-- Thomas Massie vs Liz Cheney

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 53 seconds ago
*Massie and Amash* I don't think I agree with Thomas Massie (R-KY) on almost any fundamental issues. But, unlike virtually *all* of his Republican colleagues, I recognize that Massie is a principled guy, who acts on his conservative values rather than on the transactionalism that underlies most members of Congress' voting records. A libertarian Republican, he should have packed up and left the Republican Party when his buddy, Justin Amash did. But he didn't; he stayed on the represent the 20 counties in northeast Kentucky-- including the suburbs south of Cincinnati-- that make up th... more »

April 18: Back in the saddle again....

Graeme Decarie at The Decarie Report - 3 hours ago
An interesting development is the way so many world leaders are dumping on China, blaming it for the slowness in dealing with the spread of coronavirus. I really don't know whether China did a good job or a bad one - but I do know that most of the major powers have done lousy jobs, despite having known about the Chinese crisis from the start - and doing nothing whatever about it. Trump and Britain's prime minister know all about it from the start - and did nothing. In fact, even as Americans began to die, Trump insisted nothing was happening. He's still sitting on the fence - pretend... more »

Dr.Tedros Adhanom (Executive Committee member) of Tigray Peoples Lib Front

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 3 hours ago
3-25-20 Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is an organisation about as peaceful as its name suggests. Founded as a communist revolutionary party that came to power in 1991, it led a guerrilla campaign against the Mengistu dictatorship….The TPLF of Ethiopia was listed as a terrorist organisation by the US government in the 1990s, and is still listed as one by the Global Terror Database because of its unfortunate habit of carrying out armed assaults in rural areas. … Most military generals and key leaders within the government are Tigray, including the Prime Minister who rule... more »

But how does a government official decide what's essential?

Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 4 hours ago
When a government official can determine how *essential* someone’s livelihood is, then everyone is vulnerable. A government's job is to protect rights: it does have a role in a pandemic. And this is a serious virus. The problem here is *due process* -- specifically, the lack thereof. It's said that only *essential* businesses and organisations may be allowed by officials to re-open under Level 3. But how does a government official decide what's *essential*? Given that a supply chain these days can take in the entire globe, how is the official to know whose making "essential" parts... more »

The Trump Regime's Response To The Pandemic Is The Worst In The World But Some Countries Are Getting It Right

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 4 hours ago
*COVID-45 by Nancy Ohanian* Chris Martenson, who insists, convincingly, that he is apolitical, has been excoriating the Trump regime's response to the pandemic for months. For nearly as long, he has been holding up the Czech Republic (Czechia) as a model of effective response, primarily because of how quickly and effectively the government got the whole country to wear face masks. After an initial surge in mid-March-- which has led to 6,606 confirmed infections and 181 deaths-- the curve has begun to flatten far more significantly than it has in Italy, Spain, France and the U.K. Thi... more »

Joseph J. Foss (April 17, 1915–January 1, 2003) was born on a farm near Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When Foss was 12, he saw Charles Lindbergh while the “Lone Eagle” was touring with his *Spirit of St. Louis* airplane. *Foss’s Flying Circus on Guadalcanal* In 1933, upon the death of his father, Foss took over the running of the family farm, but the crops and stock were destroyed ... more »

China Bashing Won't Help Trump Get Re-Elected

Jacob Heilbrunn at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Politics, Americas* Attacking Biden over China is not the president's best bet to win in 2020. Despite—or because of?—his daily press conferences, President Donald Trump’s popularity ratings have been steadily sinking. A Gallup poll has his approval at 43 percent and his disapproval rating at 54 percent. As former Vice-President Joe Biden remains immured in his Delaware basement, what can Trump do to bolster his standing? One faction in his administration has apparently concluded that he should focus on tearing down Biden over his stands on China rather than to... more »
