THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE, and then there's weather.
YOU WANT PRECEDENT? Jonathan Turley has precedent. Plenty of precedent.
THE DIPLOMAD: Who was that Masked Man?
DON’T LET KAREN KILL YOUR COMMUNITY: If our leadership wants us to listen to them, they should discourage Karens.

Unfortunately for us, our 'leadership' wants to be Karen.
IT NEVER HAD ONE TO START WITH: Has liberalism lost its mind?
WE EXPECT YOU TO STAND UP AGAINST KARENS: Dumb and corrupt cops risk losing our support.

Not for, against.
WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 9, 2020 (note scale change):


Aha! The bend is starting in the cumulative numbers; also note the (smoothed) daily deaths has remained stable now for nearly three weeks and is still following the same trend curve as yesterday.

The estimated death rate is 0.1070%, down just a bit, and an estimated 77.429% of Americans have not yet been infected (also good, since it implies increased herd immunity despite the best efforts of our esteemed HealthScare bureaucracy).

TRUMP ANNOUNCES all reporters at White House press briefings
must wear MAGA masks.


If only. And yes, it is from America's News of Record.
FORMER PRESIDENT slams Department of Justice dropping Flynn case, claims 'rule of law Obama is at risk'.

There. Fixed.
ADAM SCHIFF LIED about the Trump investigation — and the media let him.

Unfortunately, this has to be tagged in the "So what's new?" category.
QUESTION ASKED: Why did we treat coronavirus so differently than other epidemics?

Easily answered: Donald J. Trump won the 2016 election.
INTERESTING QUESTION: Will the new normal be an exodus from large cities?

LINDSEY GRAHAM WAS RIGHT. Democrats care more about power than truth.

We've noticed.
AT LAST! Flynn-dication!
HAH! "Trump has wrecked an entire slate of future Democratic Party presidential and vice-presidential candidates, just by letting them govern as they think best."

Tell me again that the President isn't a master of three-dimensional chess....
BIDEN: No World Cup funding if no equal pay for women. Except that ...
The men’s team worked out a deal where they would receive less guaranteed pay in exchange for larger bonuses based on performance. By contrast, the women’s team wanted more guaranteed pay upfront with less bonus money on the back end. Had they negotiated for the same deal the men arranged, they would have made considerably more money after winning the championship.
So women are too incompetent to enter into contracts? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to vote, either....
MSNBC'S ANAND GIRIDHARADAS: Americans' 'freedom obsession' blinds them to other 'threats'.
“You put someone who can barely read a sentence in government, in the figure of Donald Trump, and it becomes true government sucks, because you made it suck by telling everybody it sucks."
I think that more than adequately describes 'journalism' in the figure of MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas.
"I think the most important thing that could come out of this is realizing the government is not the biggest threat to our liberty,” Giridharadas said. “It can be a threat to our liberty but we’re threatened by many, many things and what the government fundamentally does is protect us.”
It's what the government should do, but what Giridharadas and his ilk mean by 'protect' is control.
I LIKE THE IDEA: States that go bankrupt should revert to territory status for five years. I wish I had thought of something like that. Oh, wait....
