  1. Johnny Carson was only 6 months away from his last show when this was aired. On May 21, 1991 the last ”TheTonight Show” aired. The end of an American icon, and many others. Unlike the Duracell battery, they couldn’t produce it in China, so they scrapped it.

      1. Don’t ship any to Africa, the Middle East, and China this year aaaand voila we have plenty.

    1. Uncle John’s bathroom reader has taught me that Johnny Carson was the third to host the show, and each host was a radical departure from the previous. The previous host was like a crazy uncle, always showing home movies and seemingly one step away from a breakdown (according to UJBR).

      Carson was so successful and his style so popular that he became the template for future shows.

  2. i remember just months later watching Letterman and Leno vie for supremacy ,, at the time Letterman had it in spades.

  3. Exercise may be the answer…

    https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-04/uovh-cem041520.php

    “Regular exercise may reduce the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome, a major cause of death in patients with the COVID-19 virus, a top exercise researcher reports. He is urging people to exercise based on his findings, which also suggest a potential treatment approach.”

    So being stuck in our homes much longer is not going to help us. Getting outside every day for a walk or other exercise should be encouraged by the authorities, not suppressed. This might explain why young people have fewer and less severe symptoms, and why elderly, invalid, and obese people have the worst outcomes.

    1. Maybe we can give cattle prods to bylaw fascists.
      “Don’t you even eyeball that park bench, fatty…that’s right, keep moving, no stopping, no bird watching, no enjoyment.”

    2. Yes, it does explain why elderly and unhealthy people are most vulnerable. I am amazed at the way many people assume that exposure to the virus means you drop dead. It’s crazy. A healthy immune system fights the virus, as is the case with other communicable diseases. Yet, I think many people have been seriously spooked. It’s a devastating illness if you progress to more acute stages, but that just is not going to happen to most people, even if you are exposed to the virus. I think the lockdown should have been primarily directed at the vulnerable.

      1. See the article below. People are snitching on single living old people getting food delivered to them.

  4. S B. Exercise is always good. Sitting for hours in an apartment is the worst thing that can be done to anyone especially an old fart like me. I get out everyday. If someone wants to stop me I guess they will have to kill me for the better good of all humanity.

  5. The Liberal Party’s CBC reports that a judge has cancelled the permit for the Keystone Pipeline. Environmentalists and indians will be celebrating all over North America.

    1. The judge cited the possibility of Sturgeon being killed if a spill should occur.Cant even think of a response to that one.Trump needs to continue the swamp draining and make some Liberals extinct

  6. And now the iPolitics website this morning, where Unifor journalists give you the best Liberal Party bullshit in the country. iPolitics celebrates that the former Climate Barbie is busy studying the efforts of Roosevelt during the 30s to build infrastructure. I feel so much better now that she is in charge Canada’s infrastructure. She will also be putting an emphasis on green energy projects. In other iPolitics news, Blackie is wonderful, Trump is Hitler.

    1. Climate Barbie is busy studying the efforts of Roosevelt during the 30s to build infrastructure.

      It would also help if she knew what tools like a hammer and a shovel are and what they’re used for.

      1. B A, I do believe she is more of a Hammer and Sycle type, than a hammer and shovel enthusiast. Or, as I like to call them, MORONS.

  7. Victoria mayor and wannabe tyrant Mr Lisa Helps, wants to seize Victoria Hotels to house her precious filthy homeless vermin. Would you stay in a hotel where all the filthy druggies stayed, where they shot up, puked and otherwise left their filthy mess for someone else to clean up?
    The potential power grab is something that should concern everyone, to seize private property
    Don’t let a crisis go to waste!

    1. Stopped reading the Times Communist years ago but not surprising. Most of the current Victoria council are globalist, uber green, no border, old white guys wreck everything, Bolchevics of the worst kind. One particular dipshite name of Issitt now wants the city to pick up the tab to develop an app for free food delivery service because the fact most grocery stores are already doing this free and UberEats, etc. are private sector and we can’t have that can we? I could go on but it just makes you gag. Election time looks like Mayday in Red Square around here! Good thing I moved here for the climate.

  8. Most of Blackie’s rant this morning was on how he talked to the premier of Quebec, about additional help for that province. Most of the questions to the idiot were about Quebec. Because nothing is more important than Liberal voters in Quebec. And isn’t his new hair colour so cool?

    1. The youth can get it, but very, very few are dying from it. On Quebec’s health website no deaths under 30 have been registered yet. Around the world the deaths of children are very rare. Last I looked at New York City’s statistics only 3 people under 17 had passed, and they all had another underlying problem.

      But, not that they are starting to count “possible and presumed” cases we might see more.

      1. “The youth can get it, but very, very few are dying from it.”

        But they can make their elders sick and the elders could die from COVID.

  9. Did you know there’s a flu expert in the Federal cabinet, none other than Kirsty Duncan? h/t to Montreal Economic Institute for this link – https://web.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/McNeillFlu/McNeill9.html – all about the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and the search for intact virus.
    “… Duncan’s expedition failed…” then “… when Kolata last interviewed Kirsty Duncan, eliciting the bitter remark “I’ve been lied to by many, many people, from government agencies to individual scientists. It’s been the most unpleasant experience of my life.”… and ” … Kolata presents Duncan in a sympathetic—perhaps better, pathetic—light as a young woman obsessed with her self-appointed mission, using her physical charms to get necessary help only to be overwhelmed by resulting entanglements with bureaucrats and journalists.”

  10. Re: The SDA THREAD: “Wuhan Flu: Let’s Hear Your Solutions”
    I’d be off topic if I posted there and as good as some of the comments are, isn’t it obvious (since 2015 here) that the Communist Dictators are imposing Agenda 21….. little by little…… like choking us all with a garrote?

  11. My small suburban town projects $1M in lost revenue due to the ChiCom-19 virus … a tiny suburb of 25k residents … losing $1M from this shut-down

    https://www.eastbaytimes.com/coronavirus-lafayette-projects-up-to-1-million-revenue-loss

    However, our town is fiscally responsible, and we have cash reserves. I wonder if the city of Oakland (over the hill) has enough cash reserves to weather this shut down? I know … their Mayor is a Communist … so I already know the answer.

  12. Current state of drug testing for COVID. Noting definite yet, unfortunately.
    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-what-we-know-about-the-most-touted-drugs-tested-for-covid-191/

    From the conclusion:
    None of the therapies described above have yet been proved to treat COVID-19. But some answers can be expected in the next few weeks and months as the results of clinical trials emerge. Until then, Cortegiani says, “we cannot say, ‘This drug is more promising than the other one.’ We can only say, ‘There is a rationale for it.’”

  13. See the Menzoid’s latest:
    Any little thing and ‘they’re’ already calling the cops …
    — and the cops come:

  14. How long until Canada’s economy gets down graded to JUNK Status? We will see Ottawa rob the UI fund again like Chretien and Martin for 54B belonging to workers. Or the CPP Fund Investments. They can’t leverage Gold Reserves they sold off all 1000M Tonnes already that was held in trust. Starting with Mulroney, Chretien and Martin finished it off. Venezuela North 2.0 Canada version coming up fast.

  15. Quebec police stop a woman who lives in Ottawa but works across the river in Quebec from taking her dog to her regular vet in Quebec.

    But Trudeau, who has a 22 room house in Ottawa, is allowed across to visit his family staying at his Harrington summer home. This after health authorities, and his own government told people not to go to summer homes to isolate.

    1. Cops are ready to come visit Rebel News at the drop of a hat because they are ordered to be complicit with Frenchie’s UN scams left and right.

      Yikes! (*¤*) poor David, he needed a new mask and some ○2!
      He was breathing in his own C○2 —
      Thought he was gonna bust!

      What country are we living in! One hardly recognizes it any longer.

      P.S. I sometimes feel sorry for the refugees because they got screwed in the country they ran away from. They’ve come to a highly taxed regime but don’t realize it yet. Ignorance is bliss.

    1. We’ve been infiltrated and taken over by the Chinese regime.
      Trudeau is their mascot. Tam is not going anywhere.
      What’s the CPC doing?
