AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES 'TOLERANT': Samaritan's Purse field hospital in NYC's Central Park gets the boot.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has exhibited a stunning dumbness that, even among politicians, is extraordinary.
So she's a shoe-in for Biden's Veep choice? Or is Stacey Abrams still in the running?

THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR: Our rights are now crimes.
Americans migrated to the United States of Coronavirus — land of the unfree, home of the afraid — without ever moving. The coming weeks answer whether we can ever go home again by freely leaving home again.Keep that thought firmly in mind.
OF COURSE NOT. Is killing the American economy absolutely necessary?
Hmm. I have to amend my "of course not" just a bit; it is absolutely necessary if the 'deep state'/Democrats are to wrest control of government from the Trump administration.

SPRING FORWARD, 7TH WEEK: It looks like I somehow forgot to document Week 6, so the changes are dramatic from Week 5.
Here's the usual view from the deck. The trees, at least at the lower levels, have filled out and turned dark green. Tree tops are still budding out; the leaves are there, but have not yet begun to turn that summer green.
Here's another view of the pond, taken from a different vantage point lower down. Because this area is heavily treed and shaded by the house, it doesn't seem to be as fast to green up. All the trees have leaves, but they haven't started to fill out just yet. The green at the bottom left are the ferns at the base of the retaining wall, which weren't even visible 2 weeks ago.
These last two are views from the 'road'. This one looking south at the mountains across the valley, which are now almost invisible. They will be by next week when the trees have fully leafed out.
Taken from the same vantage point, looking easterly along the back side of the house. Two weeks ago, this was mostly bare and the house on the other side of the creek easily visible. The cats are Russell (foreground) and Oreo behind him.
The pictures from two weeks ago are here.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 3, 2020:
At the risk of repeating myself again: It's over, folks. Let's get on with our lives.
The daily death toll is at worst, flat; at best, beginning a decline. The cumulative toll is linear to very slightly decreasing, and as a lagging indicator should begin to show a downward curve over the next week or so. Both web sites I track are showing the same trend.
The death rate has been steady now at 0.1% for several weeks, which is exactly what is predicted by the CDC every year for seasonal flu.
And finally, an estimated 80.0% of Americans are still virus-free. Herd immunity is beginning to build despite the best efforts of our deep state HealthScare Professionals to prevent it.
Now back to my regular (unscheduled) programming....

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 2, 2020:
Daily deaths is clearly stabilizing, with the 7-day average below 2,000 per day for 2 weeks. The Coronavirus Dashboard is also showing the same trend, roughly flat for the last two weeks, although the cumulative deaths is a bit higher (as noted yesterday). Both tracking sites are showing an estimated death rate of 0.1%, the same as the CDC estimates for seasonal flu. Approximately 80.4% of the U.S. population is estimated not to have been infected. The real unknown is the percentage of the U.S. population that have not been exposed. That would be a huge 'tell' if it could be known.
As a side note, about 60,000 people have died since January of illnesses where the coronavirus may have been at least a contributing factor. During the 96 days since January 1st, 691,200 Americans have lost their lives from all causes.

GOOD OL' JOE: Biden chooses a sex predator to help him pick a female running mate.
Does anyone -- anyone -- seriously believe Biden is in any way, shape, or form mentally competent to be President of the United States?

MUSTN’T LET PEOPLE THINK FOR THEMSELVES: They obviously can't be trusted to follow the garbage ruling governing class's 'leadership'.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 1, 2020:
As yesterday, the tail is still wagging the dog in the daily death toll, but it does appear to be stabilizing a bit. A few more days, perhaps. I suspect the 'tell' will not be the daily numbers as much as it will be when the cumulative numbers begin to bend.
In the meantime, an estimated 81% of America is uninfected, though not necessarily unexposed.

WHY OUR MEDIA IS GARBAGE:
[T]he main catalyst in the death toll coverage is political. Prior to the pandemic, prominent progressives prayed and hoped that the U.S. economy would crash in order to "get rid of Trump." HBO's Bill Maher callously exclaimed, "Can I ask about the economy? Because this economy is going pretty well. I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point. And by the way, I'm hoping for it. Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either root for a recession or you lose your democracy." NBC's Richard Engel was on Maher's show and agreed with Maher's sentiment, arguing that "short-term pain might be better than long-term destruction of the Constitution." Former 2020 Democrat presidential contender Congressman John Delaney accused the other presidential candidates of "cheering on a recession because they want to stick it to Trump."Don't let them win.
The progressive and mainstream media despise President Trump and his supporters. The media have an incentive to keep America shut down and prevent the economy from rebounding. To that end, the media will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump's re-election in 2020, even if that means financial ruin for a sizable portion of the American population.
INSTAPUNDIT ON FOX NEWS: A failure of leadership.
One thing our garbageruling governing class is not is leaders. With the exception of President Trump.
One thing our garbage
