Coronavirus a Groundhog Day for the political world

Georgia governor defies CYA to be beacon of good coronavirus leadership

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is taking a lot of heat for daring to go where no other state has gone before -- and gasp! opening the state back up for business, even as the rest of the country's political leaders sit on coronavirus pins and needles. But what Kemp is really doing is something called Leadership. Published April 22, 2020

Democrat governors, with coronavirus, tip hats of tyranny

Democrats, juiced by coronavirus, have really tipped their tyrannical hats. That's not to say they don't care about the coronavirus sufferers. But it is to say that leftists see disaster -- and say to themselves, hmm, maybe there's a win-win here. Published April 20, 2020

Coronavirus and the smell of Saul Alinsky

Coronavirus, at its root, is being used as a tool for those with devilish designs to establish a new order, a new un-American, unconstitutional and unfree kingdom -- and that is the end game, like it or not. Wake up and smell the Alinsky; it's a key to keeping our country intact. Published April 18, 2020

Civil disobedience can end the coronavirus stupidity

The happiest news to emerge in recent coronavirus weeks comes courtesy of videos showing the good citizens of Michigan, fed up with their tyrannical governor, taking to the streets in mass -- and maskless! -- to demand an end to the tyranny. The saddest news? The realization that it took so long for these types of protests to occur. Published April 16, 2020

William Barr, a ray of light during dark coronavirus days

Bill Gates — oh, boohoo — rails at Trump for pulling WHO funding

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder who recently cut all ties to his company so that he could focus in part on curing the world of disease -- such as through vaccines he funds -- just called out President Donald Trump's decision to pull U.S. funding from the World Health Organization as abysmal, "dangerous" and deadly. Oh, boohoo. Published April 15, 2020

Anthony Fauci has a mad scientist vision to track, surveil American citizens

Anthony Fauci, on coronavirus, wants to implement a "contact tracing" program in America that will in effect set the stage for government to surveil its citizens. Only he describes it in such a kindly caring gentlemanly manner that it's not supposed to be noticed as nefarious and unAmerican and unconstitutional. Published April 15, 2020

Cars travel along Interstate 97 in Glen Burnie, Md., Monday, April 6, 2020. America’s roads are a lot less congested, due to coronavirus shutdowns that have kept millions of commuters, shoppers and vacationers parked at their homes. While that makes it easier to patch potholes, it also could spell trouble for road and bridge projects, as revenue from tolls, fuel taxes and other user fees declines. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

Coronavirus case and death counts in U.S. ridiculously low

Do the math. That means 0.17 percent of America's population has been infected by the coronavirus. That means 0.007 percent of America's population has died from the coronavirus -- we think. For this, we tank an entire economy? Published April 14, 2020

Practicing social distancing amid COVID-19 concerns, Dallas  Police officer R. Salgado looks on while a man speaks in downtown Dallas, Friday, April 3, 2020. New federal guidelines are also expected soon on wearing face masks to help curb the spread of the virus, Trump said recently, adding that the guidance won't require all Americans to use face coverings. For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

Coronavirus masks turning Americans into good Asian comrades

Americans should be outraged at the message the wearing of face masks sends the world. Wearing a face mask is a sign of collectivism. It's a show of fear. And neither collectivism nor fear belong in America's government. Published April 13, 2020

Walmart CEO pleads for people to stop stockpiling toilet paper

Walmart's CEO, Doug McMillon, said on a recent NBC "Today Show" televised segment that his company sold enough toilet paper in five days for every man, woman and child to have a roll.

World Health Organization, on North Korea, embarrasses itself

North Korea reported earlier this week that despite testing, and amid quarantining, not one confirmed case of the coronavirus has been found. Not one. This, despite the fact that North Korea's border countries, South Korea and China, have been hit hard by the virus. And the World Health Organization goes -- yep, that's right.

America, on coronavirus crisis: Fight now or forever hold the peace

Wake the freak up, America. Wake up and smell the crisis that's being used and not wasted. It's time to punch back on the prognosticators by insisting pols, pundits, the press and members of the medical community provide information that's truthful, in context, and -- how about this -- common sense.

Anthony Fauci sets stage for mandatory — lucrative! — vaccine

"Vaccines are miracles," said Pedro Alonso, the director for the Institute for Global Health of Barcelona, and another stakeholder in the "Decade of Vaccines" program. Yes.

Coronavirus is not Pearl Harbor and saying so is idiotic

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said at a recent briefing that on the coronavirus outbreak, America was poised to hit "our Pearl Harbor moment." No, we are not. And saying so is irresponsibly inflammatory -- not to mention horribly disrespectful to the real victims and the loved ones of the victims of Pearl Harbor. Published April 6, 2020

America the humbled, America the crumbled

Just a few weeks ago, America's economy was chugging along, high school seniors were prepping for graduation, fitness clubs were rolling out their spring specials and Americans were starting to discuss their summer travel plans. Now? Now it's a different world. America, post-coronavirus, will never be the same. Published April 4, 2020
