IF THEY'RE GENDER-NEUTRAL, why do you need two?

Just asking the obvious question....

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: America in a new upside-down world.

[T]he key is not to damn the panic over the virus, but to understand and accept it—while reassuring Americans that all that can be done is being done, and what downturns they now experience will soon be overshadowed by even more jobs and greater economic expansion and wealth creation to come.

We sometimes forget, in legitimate fears of the coronavirus, that every action prompts a reaction and the massive curtailments of the U.S. economy can have as many health consequences as the virus itself—if millions lose income and jobs, become depressed in self-isolation, increase smoking, and drug and alcohol use, and postpone out of fear necessary buying and visits to doctors and hospitals for chronic and serious medical conditions unrelated to the virus.

In addition, it is not wrong to remind the public that current but once caricatured policies of secure borders, targeted travel bans, demands for transparency and symmetry from major U.S. trading partners, recalibration with China, and a return of manufacturing and assembly of key U.S. industries, from high-technology to pharmaceuticals, was long overdue—and must continue to ensure U.S. security and the long-term health of its people.

As usual with anything written by Hanson, read it all.

TOWNHALL: Democrats propose to destroy America to 'protect' us from the Wuhan virus.

They'd release prisoners, ignore crime, ban private ownership of guns, seize control of private industries and take over the medical industry.

But other than that....

AMERICAN SPECTATOR: The panic among the pigeons pigeon-headed. Read it all for some much-needed common sense.

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: The CDC testing delay for Wuhan virus is 'certainly not the President’s fault'.

He's right; it's the fault of the bureaucratic Deep State and he might try looking in the mirror for his own part.

TOTAL BULLSHIT: President Trump told governors they're 'on their own'.

The New York Slimes Times lies again.

BERNIE SANDERS LASHES OUT: 'I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis.'

If I may be so bold, "What is he talking about? Since when has blather been associated with 'doing something'?"

THE NEW YORK TIMES 'KEPT CONSERVATIVE' DAVID BROOKS EXPLAINS: Americans who voted for a 'sociopath are responsible for the Wuhan virus.

The farce is strong in that dingbat.

THOSE PESKY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AGAIN:

'Social distancing' could have a devastating effect on people.

Stop it with the coronavirus curfews already.

The remedy may be worse than the disease.

All of this is obvious unless you're a clueless liberal.

OUT OF WHOSE POCKET? Maxine Waters says during coronavirus outbreak adults should get $2G per month, children $1G per month.

She wins the Maroon of the Month award.

YES, MOM, the CDC is part of the Deep State too.

THEY'LL PROBABLY ALL GET SMARTER NOW: More than 6.1 million California students might not be going back to school before summer.

Not likely, but I'd rather have them dumb than indoctrinated. Dumb, they're teachable....

CDC RECOMMENDS limiting gatherings to 50 people for the next 2 months.

Question: If I go to any mass gathering (political rally, athletic game, etc.), how many people am I likely to encounter within that 'social distance' exclusion zone (excluding passers-by)? More than 50? Unlikely, based on past experience.

Bozos....

MORE NEWS FROM THE MORON STATE: San Francisco area cannabis stores exempt from Wuhan flu lockdown.

If you ever want to know what not to do, just look to California for advice.

AND THE NEXT TIME? More of this nonsense?

It's a fat chance, but maybe next time (if there is a next time) you'll listen to us old geezers who've been there and done that.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR SENIORS: Gunnison County [CO] bans restaurants & bars from serving people 60 and older to slow coronavirus spread.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'killing them with kindness', doesn't it?

RANDOM THOUGHT: Have you noticed that 'woke' America seems to be the most affected by the Moron Wuhan flu?

CORONAVIRUS WAS MISNAMED. Because that's who we're governed by (click through; you'll get it).

JUST SAY NO to more government power in this pandemic.

Let’s not give the government more power to dictate our lives, even during a pandemic. Common sense isn’t a government-forced lockdown of life. It is reducing regulations so companies can get a vaccine out quicker to the general populace and not telling private labs to stop testing if they have found a way to detect the virus.

What works is not more government; it is less government. Especially less regulation.

TAKEAWAYS FROM THE GREAT HUNKERING DOWN: Part I, Part II, and Part III.

I can't decide whether they're sad, or funny. Make your own decisions.
