I’m telling you right now, that the market is not reacting to coronavirus fears.
What the markets are reacting to is the discovery that maybe, just maybe, turning our entire manufacturing process of everything including are medications over to the Communist Chinese probably wasn’t all that good an idea.
The Democrats trying to make political hay out of this is disingenuous on two levels:
First, Trump’s been trying to separate us from China for some time. At least some of those efforts have been documented here, So I won’t bother cross-linking on that point. Long time readers will have already read it anyway.
Secondly, we have more than a small amount of data that links the Democrat delete to the Communist Chinese. (Example)
All of this panic with regards to the coronavirus is being whipped up by people who want to politically manipulate you.
The fact of the matter is that the mortality rate on this virus is… well, let’s put it this way…. More people died of diarrhea last year then have died of the coronavirus on an infection/ per-capita basis.
The panic in the market was caused by companies who have abdicated their responsibility of making sure that things are created here in this country…. And by the politicians who supported those moves.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows, from CNS News:
The conservative Family Research Council (FRC) is urging parents across the country to keep their kids home on Thursday, Feb. 27, a day that pro-LGBT activists and teachers will use to read pro-transgender books to children in some schools and libraries, a practice they want to establish as an annual event.
And from the homosexual side. Tyler O’Neil, PJ Media:
y, Miriam Ben-Shalom, the first lesbian to be reinstated to the U.S. Army after getting kicked out for her sexual orientation, spoke out against the “indoctrination of children by the trans community.” A vocal radical feminist, Ben-Shalom championed the cause of parents in Madison, Wisc., who are suing the local school district over the issue. She and her allies with the Hands Across the Aisle Coalition spoke at a press conference at the downtown Madison public library.
“It is time to put a stop to the sort of indoctrination of children by the trans community, Big Pharma, and Big Medicine,” Ben-Shalom declared at the press conference, streamed exclusively by Women’s Liberation Radio News. “As a teacher of 37 years, I wonder what goes on in the mind of a man who thinks that because he goes about in womanface [the feminist equivalent of blackface], that gives him the right to force his system of beliefs on young children. That isn’t what teachers are supposed to do, is it?”
The left is waging war on your children. Unlike the homosexuals who only want to alter normal behavior, the neo-left is content with nothing less than castration. Your sex is result of an act of god. View it as a blessing or a curse. Accept is as immutable.
We are still hearing arguments from the usual suspects such as Vanity Fair in this somewhat older article that Russia is trying to throw the election for Trump.
The 2020 race is hardly underway, and already candidates are being targeted with the same techniques Russia employed in the 2016 and 2018 cycles. According to Politico, which confirmed its findings with digital experts, a “sustained and ongoing” disinformation campaign has begun in earnest, targeting top Democrats including Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Beto O’Rourke.
Yeah well let’s look at this from a common-sense point of view.
If you really believe that the Russians, who after all, are still socialist at heart,
are going to try to elect anyone but Bernie Sanders or at least one of the Democrats who are more friendly to socialism than Donald Trump is, you must be watching the fake news.
Viewed from the opposite side, does it make any sense to you that the party that was so worried about Russian influence in our elections, would nominate a communist?
That does seem odd, doesn’t it?
Let’s remember that the Democrats have a history of colluding with the Soviets. For example Ted Kennedy sending a letter to the Kremlin asking for help in overturning the election of Ronald Reagan.
What we are really dealing with here is yet another feeble attempt the establishment of both parties, particularly the Democrats, to delegitimize the re-election of Donald Trump which they know blessedly well is going to happen.
A twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of murdering three people is on the run in California.
Three bodies were found in a Perris, California, cemetery, and the Riverside County sheriff said 33-year-old Mexican national Jose Luis Torres Garcia is the primary suspect in what appears to have been an execution-style killing. He is on the run and considered armed and dangerous.
It’s time for those responsible for creating the so-called sanctuary cities to be brought up on charges of being an accessory to murder when stuff like this happens.
In my view that transition can’t happen soon enough.
# … That the people that have such problems with Donald Trump dealing with the coronavirus problem, couldn’t build a website?
#… The irony involved with Elizabeth Warren’s complaint against Mike Bloomberg telling one of his employees fluid recently gotten pregnant…, to “kill it”, when she has been as strong a proponent of abortion at will as anyone on that stage.
Although Bloomberg suggests Americans ought not have guns in their homes, Breitbart News reported that he lives his life surrounded 24/7 by armed guards, thereby depending on good guys with guns to keep him safe.[…]

Kellerman used the simple logic: If nobody died, the nothing happened. So according to Kellerman logic, if I were break into one of Mini Mike’s mansions, unless one his armed security guards shot me dead, then nothing happened. Then don’t judge my words, look at Mini-Mike’s deeds. The ex mayor employs a squad of armed guards. Isn’t Da Mayor afraid that one of body guards won’t shoot him to death?

From Stephen Gutowski, Washington Free Beacon:
The leader of a gun-control group decried efforts to sell firearms to minorities and women as “incredibly dangerous” on Monday.
“Gun makers are softening their image to ‘put a better face in front of people’ & ‘ramp up its appeal to women, children and members of minority groups,'” Igor Volsky, executive director of gun-control activist group Guns Down America, said in a tweet. Volsky, who is also a former vice president of the Center for American Progress, was commenting on a New York Times story about firearms marketing.[…] This is incredibly dangerous.”
Aside from wanting to Harvey Weinstien a women, why is any more dangerous for a women to be carrying? Counterpoint:
“The overt racism of gun control rears its ugly head again,” [Maj Toure, head of the Black Guns Matter] said. “Imagine being either so uninformed on the racist roots of gun control or so full of yourself that you would not only think but also believe that melinated Americans owning guns would be incredibly dangerous. I wonder what he thinks of the thousands of melinated law enforcement officers and military personnel that carry firearms to protect life as well?”
The old Lynching method was to have the local sheriff’s department show up in daylight and in uniform to disarm local blacks. Then to show up in darkness and in sheets to Lynch the same blacks.

# Speaking of which, I see the Democrats are complaining that the CDC is underfunded, and that the Trump Administration doesn’t have a plan for dealing with the virus. First of all that’s what we pay the CDC for, to the tune of 20 billion dollars in 2019. if you think 20 billion dollars a year is underfunded, you might be a Democrat.
# Give Kung Flu credit for one thing. President Trump has been trying to convince manufacturers to separate themselves from communist China as a supply chain. Single sourcing is simply put, stupid. The virus has managed to put an exclamation point on all of that.
# Last night’s Democrat primary dog and pony show was a laugh riot. Joe Biden was his usual reality- disconnect itself, for one thing, claiming that he had worked with a Chinese diplomat on the climate change proposals, but the fact check showed that he had died some ten years before that. He also claimed that half of America had died from gun violence. Well, I suppose there’s precedent there…does anyone remember Hillary Clinton claiming that she’d been working with Eleanor Roosevelt?
# I figure it’s a matter of time before one of the other Democrats decides to start using Randy Newman’s song “short people”as campaign music. Mini- Mike was unavailable for comment.
# The most obvious fact about the Democrats proclaiming their support for gun control is that they plan to do something with governmental power that you would want to shoot them for.
# We’ve been seeing complaints from the Democrats about the lack of civility, and the complaints of all been directed at Trump and his supporters. Well, anyone who watch last night’s supposed debate, should be able to easily see where the lack of civility is coming from. It looked … And sounded… for all the world like a schoolyard brawl.
The Republican Party doesn’t want them back—ever. The Democrats have used them up and are sending them home on a social media walk of shame. The only question now is whether corporate media will finally wisen up to the fact that NeverTrump’s usefulness is over and if they are prepared to fill those spots with legitimate Trump-backing Republicans who represent at least half the country.
My guess, despite the current criticism, is no.

Trump furious Americans infected with coronavirus flown back to U.S. with healthy passengers
A new report indicates that President Trump was angry that 14 Americans infected with the coronavirus returned to the United States rather than remain in quarantine overseas.
The President should be mad. The State Department’s willful neglect of duty, and rank insubordination, is akin to the late Senator Oldsmobile driving a bus over the Chappaquiddick bridge. I say, immediately fire the responsible Swampy Bottom creature, arrest them and charge them with attempted murder. Up grade if any of their victims, the previously healthy Americans, die.
Trump had been briefed that the healthy U.S. passengers who spent weeks quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan would be allowed to fly home on two chartered planes — while those who were sick or infected would stay in Japan to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.
The president became “furious” with senior advisers after learning the 14 Americans who tested positive had been put on a plane with healthy passengers, according to The Washington Post. One official told the paper that the failure to inform Trump of the decision in advance of the plane’s departure was a “big operational mistake.”
Well that’s the story, anyway:
U.S. officials have told Sen. Bernie Sanders that Russia is attempting to help his presidential campaign as part of an effort to interfere with the Democratic contest, according to people familiar with the matter.
There’s one or two possibilities here.
1:
The FBI is telling the truth for a change and Russia actually does want their fellow socialist elected to the White House.
2:
This is Clinton/Obama loyalists within the FBI, and one of them finally got the message that Sanders being nominated is a death knell for the Democrat Party.
And no, I have no idea which is the more likely at the moment.
I said two years ago that anyone who made it past the Democratic party nomination process was going to end up with their backsides up around their ear lobes in the general election. That was well demonstrated last night.
There is no one of the creatures on the stage last night that has a snowball’s chance of being elected president of the United States. Thank God for small favors.
One can’t get over the feeling that had Hillary Clinton won, that toxicity would have been spreading through the federal government even faster than it had been before that. As it is, the White House is fighting that corruption, not fostering it.
And lifelong Democrats are finding themselves without a choice but to ditch the party that has gone so very bad on them.
Michael Bloomberg, the former seventy-two-term mayor/dictator of New York City, has encountered a new, seemingly unbeatable foe as he rises in the polls: his past.
Even his recent past, as Steve explains, and then goes on from there:
At the rate things are going this week, Bloomberg may yet emerge as the most awful person in a field of remarkably awful people. Stay tuned, we’ll let you know if any video is found of him complaining about nursing homes being a waste of real estate and advocating for their inhabitants to be euthanized en masse.
It was just three short years ago that the Democrats were all a fluster about the concept of a multi-millionaire being the president of the United States and that there was no connection between him and the American voter. Of course they’ve been wrong about that, not that they’ve given up that misbegotten notion…until of course Bloomberg came along and now suddenly a multi-millionaire from New York City is fully connected to the American people, if you listen to the Democrat establishment.
That kind of a flip-flop doesn’t happen without a reason…. And the reason is certainly simple enough:
Granted that the Democrats never follow the rules in any event, even when the rules are their own rules… but in this case their bending of the rules to allow him on the debate stage is indicative that they finally come to the conclusion that everybody else already understood….
Not a single one of the band of idiots currently leading the pack for the Democratic nomination has a snowball’s chance in the general election.
Mini-Mike hasn’t got a shot either, of course, but in their desperation the Democrat Party hasn’t figured that one out yet, or if they have, they certainly won’t mention it to you.
Else they figure, bad as he is he’s got a better shot than any of the band of idiots taking up the remainder of the stage, tonight.
So suddenly the Democrats are just hunky and dory with money in politics.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,”
Then others only pretend to oppose attempting to sabatoge our foreign policy, from’Mollie Hemmingway, Federalist:
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and other Democratic senators had a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week, according to a source briefed by the French delegation to the conference. Murphy’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment by press time.
Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Murphy said in 2017 after anonymous leaks of Flynn’s phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak were published. He also strongly criticized the open letter some Republican senators sent Iranian leaders during the Obama administration’s campaign for a nuclear agreement.
Senator Murphy appears to guilty of with what the deep state set up to ensnare Lt. General Flynn. Except of course that LTG Flynn was operating under the authority of the incoming President.
