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

2020 Wuhan Flu 32 Comments

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.

The Violence Against Republicans Continues

2020 Baiting The Left 20 Comments

A California Leftist – no doubt with “mental issues” – has tried to burn down the Eureka Republican headquarters:

On Saturday Feb. 8, at about 4:53 a.m., officers with the Eureka Police Department responded to the office on 5th Street for the report of a man smashing the windows. The witness gave a description of the suspect and said he was last seen riding a bicycle toward the bay.

Officers quickly arrived on scene and saw the man on the Boardwalk. They said the suspect fled from them on the bike, but after a short pursuit he was detained. According to the EPD, the suspect was found to be in possession of a “Trump” political flag. His bicycle had a “Bernie” political sticker prominently displayed, police said.

Police said they found the man, later identified as 43-year-old Michael Valls of Eureka, riding his bike near the foot of D Street. Police said Valls tried to flee from officers but was ultimately taken into custody after a brief struggle. He was found to be in possession of items linking him to the vandalism on 5th Street, police said.

“We’re losing our damn minds”

James Carville takes a “fucking welding torch” to the Democrats;

We win all these voters by being relevant; we win by running on real issues we know we can deliver on. We win by contrasting ourselves with the highly unpopular policies of the Trump administration. That’s how we cleaned up in 2018. We don’t win running on mile-high fantasies that are likely to lose swing states and unlikely ever to pass through Congress. And if we lose those swing states, we also don’t win back the Senate, condemning us to four more years of majority leader Mitch McConnell. Do you know what the US Supreme Court will look like in 2024 if we have that?
 
So we’ve got a choice to make. Do we want to be an ideological cult that alienates large swaths of America?

They won’t listen.

Also, he eats mice.

And he’s hit the ground running.

Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign lifted portions of its policy plans from news outlets, not-for-profit organizations and policy groups, in some cases plagiarizing passages verbatim, according to the Intercept.
 
At least eight plans or fact sheets put out by the Bloomberg campaign copied material from news outlets including CNN, Time, and CBS, and organizations including the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the American Medical Association, without attribution.
 
In a statement, the campaign said the policies were sent out via an email newsletter service that “doesn’t support footnote formatting”, adding: “We have since added citations and links to these documents.”

I hear he wants to stand on a box.

Her party’s in the very best of hands.

“Honestly, the biggest thing is — I don’t want to throw it under the bus — but the app was clearly done by someone following a tutorial. It’s similar to projects I do with my mentees who are learning how to code,” Rahjerdi said. “They started with a starter package and they just added things on top of it. I get deja vu from my classes because the code looks like someone Googled things like ‘how to add authentication to React Native App’ and followed the instructions,”
