Terrible News Out of Quebec

Terrible news indeed:

Police are investigating the owners of a privately run Montreal-area nursing home after news that 31 patients died at the facility since mid-March.

At least five of the deceased residents had contracted COVID-19, Quebec Premier François Legault revealed on Saturday.

He promised a thorough public investigation into Résidence Herron in Dorval, where nurses spoke out on Saturday about conditions inside the home.

They said residents were left in unsanitary conditions, many unfed and without water for more than 24 hours, because staff were failing to show up.

How many deaths will it take for Leftist Wokerati to question their views?

History has shown us that 100+ Million deaths isn’t enough for Radical Leftists to change their views one little bit.

So we shouldn’t be surprised that the latest generation of young Leftists won’t pause for a second to stop their politically correct nonsense no matter how high the body count from the Wuhan flu. Sargon of Akkad goes through the latest episode. #TriggerWarning

Why is it wrong for a US President to Protect Americans?

One major disappointment throughout the Wuhan flu crisis has been the constant injection of politics by those trying desperately to defeat Donald Trump in November. Conrad Black opines on the 3M masks “controversy”:

It has been disappointing to read of Canadian outrage at the treatment of 3M Corporation by the U.S. government, which interrupted its exports of respiratory masks. At the time, the scientific experts that U.S. President Donald Trump elevated to the vice-president’s emergency task force (to protect himself from the frenzied attacks of the Democratic media and office-holders that he was a flat-earth philistine who opposed science in general), were telling him that the American health-care system could collapse under the weight of the coronavirus. The Imperial College of Medicine in London had helpfully predicted that it could kill over two million Americans. The governor of New York was predicting a requirement of 20,000 ventilators, and the president had invoked the National Emergencies Act. An American company seemed to be selling to foreign countries articles required to save the lives of Americans. The administration’s reaction was unexceptionable and no other national government would have acted differently. Fortunately, the projected death toll has been revised down drastically.

If the roles were reversed and a Canadian Prime Minister refused to do the same then she [sic] should be removed immediately.

What if this were 1944?

Do the press corps have amy responsibilities to the public during a wartime like situation? Or is it perfectly fine to scream the equivalent of “Fire, Fire!” in a crowded theatre?

If President Trump is a wartime president, does that make Washington reporters wartime correspondents?

Even before coronavirus, I often wondered if today’s press corps had covered the allied landing at D-Day in June 1944, if their stories would have led with the disastrous American landing on Omaha Beach, the paratroopers who dropped miles away from their targets and the submersible tanks that sunk to the bottom of the English Channel before ever touching land.

Indeed, if each of these genuine military setbacks had been the lead story, the American people might have lost the will to fight the rest of the war.

Interesting Perspective

I don’t agree with the attack on Trump near the end and there is zero mention of what Nancy Pelosi and Bill de Blasio have said and done, but overall, it’s still a very interesting video:

Let’s not forget how widely Trump was called a racist when he shut down flights from China. Also, would globalist Obama’s response have been much different from the Shiny Pony’s?

Uh Oh, More Uncomfortable Facts are Starting to Emerge

Fact check: Did the Obama administration deplete the federal stockpile of N95 masks?

We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded.
