Widespread Panic for No Reason? White House Expert Says a Second Wave of Coronavirus Cases ‘Isn’t Coming’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By NBC News. White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow told CNBC on Monday that a “second wave” of coronavirus cases isn’t coming and that lawmakers will likely develop another stimulus package by the end of next month.

Asked by “Squawk Box” co-host Becky Quick how he’s thinking about resurgences of Covid-19 cases in several states, Kudlow said he isn’t too concerned.

“There is no second wave coming. It’s just hot spots. They send in CDC teams, we’ve got the testing procedures, we’ve got the diagnostics, we’ve got the PPE. And so I really think it’s a pretty good situation,” said Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council and chief economic advisor to President Donald Trump.

“Actually, I think nationwide the positivity rate is still quite low, well under 10%.”

His comments came after the U.S. reported more than 30,000 new infections on Friday and Saturday, the highest daily totals since May 1, according to Johns Hopkins University data. New cases are rising in states in the South, West and Midwest, including Florida and South Carolina, which last week broke their single-day totals three days in a row.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board: Dems Pushing Strict Lockdowns Run Most States With Highest Jobless Rates

By Fox News. . .The national jobless rate was 13.3 percent in May, but 10 states still have unemployment rates above 15 percent. From highest down, they are: Nevada (25.3 percent), Hawaii (22.6 percent), Michigan (21.2 percent), California, Rhode Island and Massachusetts (16.3 percent), Delaware (15.8 percent), Illinois and New Jersey (15.2 percent), and Washington state (15.1 percent).

. . .Nine of the 10 states with the highest jobless rate are run by Democrats, who have tended to demand that the economy should stay locked down and in some cases are still resisting opening. One exception is Colorado, where Democratic Gov. Jared Polis was one of the first to reopen. His decision is paying off as Colorado’s jobless rate in May fell to 10.2 percent from 12.2 percent in April.

WATCH: Venezuelan Woman Warns America Where Destroying Statues Leads

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just in the past few weeks, demonstrators — mobs, really — have destroyed or defaced … statues across the United States. Or, unelected bodies have decided to remove them with no input from the public. . .

Cities are allowing mobs to pull down, vandalize, and destroy statues depicting all manner of historic figures. Yes, cities are allowing this. They could stop it if they choose to. No one in the mainstream media is asking any of them a simple question: Why?

. . .This young Venezuelan woman says she has seen all of this before and is warning Americans where it leads.

Trump Manager: Campaign Was Not Duped, Media Scared Supporters From Tulsa Rally; Did ‘Dirty Tricks’ Sabotage Trump Tulsa Rally?; Trump Rally Backlash: No Different Than Protests ‘From a Purely Public Health Point of View’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Trump 2020 Campaign Manager Brad Parscale on Sunday berated the media for savaging the campaign’s small crowd size in Tulsa on Saturday, despite boasting a million campaign ticket requests beforehand.

“For the media to now celebrate the fear that they helped create is disgusting but typical,” Parscale wrote in a lengthy statement to reporters. “And it makes us wonder why we bother credentialing media for events when they don’t do their full jobs as professionals.”

Corporate media organizations had a field day after only about 6,000 supporters attended President Trump’s rally, failing to fill the BOK Center stadium and left the planned overflow areas empty.

Parscale blamed the media’s negative reporting before the rally for the small crowds, criticizing them for stoking coronavirus fears and reports of possible protests and riots.

“The fact is that a week’s worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of COVID and protestors, coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally,” he wrote.

Did ‘Dirty Tricks’ Sabotage Trump Tulsa Rally?

By PJ Media. Tik-Tok and K-Pop users are claiming they reserved hundreds of tickets for Donald Trump’s Tulsa rally, never having any intention of showing up. The result was a half-empty arena in Tulsa for the president’s post-coronavirus restart of his campaign.

In fact, Twitter is alight this morning with reports that dozens of teens reserved thousands of rally tickets to sabotage the optics of Trump’s speech. . .

The gloating is absolutely nauseating. The Trump rally was sabotaged by political “dirty trick” worthy of the Nixon campaign and Democrats are celebrating?

. . .The Trump team claims there was other sabotage, including the blocking of access to metal detectors to enter the arena and threatening by anti-Trump radicals. They ended up canceling the outdoor address by the president altogether.

Was this an organized effort to shut down Trump and sabotage the rally? There is no evidence that is the case. We’ve seen social media spark revolutions in other countries with little or no formal organization online so it’s possible that a meme spread on Twitter could have developed into several thousand independent efforts to make phony requests for tickets.

Dr. Siegel on Trump Rally Backlash: No Different Than Protests ‘From a Purely Public Health Point of View’

By Fox News. Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel called out a double standard from some of President Trump’s critics who cited coronavirus concerns surrounding his campaign rally in Oklahoma on Saturday, while seemingly giving a pass to the thousands of protesters who have taken to the streets in recent weeks.

“It is very disappointing… all of this backbite going on about a virus we’re still learning about which is very humbling,” Siegel told “Fox & Friends Weekend” host Jedediah Bila.

“Of course you saw the protests going on around the country in major cities. That, of course, took risks and there wasn’t a lot of mask-wearing there. So far, we haven’t seen a spike of cases in those areas as a result,” he explained. . .

Siegel acknowledged that “people, both at protests and at rallies, get excited, and when they’re excited, they take fewer precautions.”

At the same time, Siegel said he didn’t “see any difference between having a rally and having protests from a purely public health point of view,” adding that it was “very disappointing [to see] all the politicizing going on.” (Read more from “Dr. Siegel on Trump Rally Backlash: No Different Than Protests ‘From a Purely Public Health Point of View'” HERE)

Supreme Court Rules Women Are No Longer Real but Just Fantasies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This past Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled by a vote of 6-3 that a woman is not real.

Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch announced, “The six of us on the Court who are clearly smarter than the dissenting three, and, likewise, much brighter and wiser than the hundreds of millions of you deplorable rubes across the land who still believe in biology and genetics, have decided, by god-like fiat, that as of June 15, 2020, a female is no longer a fact, but a fantasy.” . . .

“Therefore, on this grand day of enlightenment, we proclaim that throughout the land, all subjects of the United States of America must now bow in submission to the Rainbow altar and its golden calf. You must pay homage to our Cult of Feelings. You must deny reality and cast all reason aside.

“How foolish of you think that there is a God and that He created man as a binary male and female. How naive of you to think a female is a fact. She is not!

“In our day of gnosis, we know that nothing can be known and, therefore, we know that a woman is little more than a fantasy and a fabrication. We are sure that nothing is sure, but of this one thing we are sure … Being a woman is a social construct and not an objective reality.

Black Preacher to CHAZ: ‘Planned Parenthood #1 Killer of Black Population’; Washington Mayor Now Says BLM Movement is Domestic Terrorism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. A black preacher confronted Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters inside the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle Wednesday, shouting that it is not police but Planned Parenthood that is the number one killer of the black community.

Video emerged of Edmee Chavannes shouting to the BLM demonstrators in the area that has been overtaken by rioters in the city.

Benny Johnson, chief creative officer of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), and Colton Duncan, a producer at the conservative organization, tweeted the video of Chavannes:

“Why don’t I see my brothers and my sisters outside Planned Parenthood?” Chavannes shouted at the BLM protesters. “The number one killer of the black population is Planned Parenthood!” (Read more from “Black Preacher to CHAZ: ‘Planned Parenthood #1 Killer of Black Population’” HERE)

Washington State Mayor Says Black Lives Matter Movement Is ‘Domestic Terrorism’ After Her Home Was Vandalized

By Fox News. A Washington state mayor was fine with the Black Lives Matter protests that followed George Floyd’s death in police custody.

But that was until vandals damaged her home, according to reports.

Now, Mayor Cheryl Selby of Olympia refers to the protests as “domestic terrorism,” according to The Olympian.

“I’m really trying to process this,” Selby told the newspaper Saturday, after the rioters’ Friday night spree left her front door and porch covered with spray-painted messages. “It’s like domestic terrorism. It’s unfair. (Read more from “Washington State Mayor Says Black Lives Matter Movement Is ‘Domestic Terrorism’ After Her Home Was Vandalized” HERE)

WATCH: George Washington Statue Destroyed by Rioters; General Grant, Francis Scott Key, Others Torn Down Across U.S., Too

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Protesters in Portland, Oregon, wrapped a statue of George Washington in an American flag, lit it on fire — then pulled it down Thursday night, according to a report.

The demonstrators toppled the towering bronze sculpture of the first US president — who owned slaves in the 1700s — during a protest on the eve of Juneteeth, a holiday celebrating the abolition of slavery, over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, according to CBS affiliate KOIN-TV.

After the founding father’s statue came crashing down, vandals defaced it with graffiti, then left it face-down in Rose City Park before fleeing around 11 p.m., the station reported.

They spray-painted the words “F–K COPS” and “BIG FLOYD” on the statue’s base, according to footage posted on Twitter.

Portland police arrived later but it wasn’t immediately clear if any arrests were made, according to the station. (Read more from “George Washington Statue Destroyed by Rioters” HERE)

Washington Statue Isn’t the Only One Torn Down this Week

By Marty Johnson Protesters in San Francisco on Friday toppled the statue of former President Grant, who led the Union Army during the Civil War, in Golden Gate Park.

San Francisco police said that approximately 400 people gathered around 8 p.m. to take down the statue, though no arrests were made, according to NBC Bay Area.

Also torn down in the park on Friday were the statues of St. Junipero Serra and Francis Scott Key, who wrote the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

While Thousands Protested Freely, My Grandmother Died Alone During Lockdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

“Don’t worry,” the mob said, “Grandma is safer than ever.”

Except my grandmother wasn’t. She died “recovering” in a skilled nursing facility a week-and-a-half after a fall at home broke her neck. From walking and talking, my 88-year-old grandmother deteriorated into a catatonic state in quarantine. Her family was instructed to socially distance for her health and safety.

. . .Perhaps the elderly are forgotten afterthoughts, pushed to the periphery of society because we believe they no longer contribute to the social fabric — they’re “non-essential.” Or perhaps it’s just easier for everyone to go about business as usual, convincing ourselves that we did our duty as sons and daughters, then wiping our hands clean.

. . .I can’t imagine the betrayal and abandonment my grandmother must have felt. It took 10 days of separation from the hospital to the nursing home to her deathbed — an eternity surrounded by unknown people trapped in an unknown place where days blended into nights. I’m fairly certain my grandmother died of a broken heart.

. . .Only 10 people were allowed at the Mass service originally, including the priest. My mother pushed for 15. We had to be judicious with which family members could attend. My grandmother had seven children, 11 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. If the funeral had occurred a week later, when Allegheny County moved to the “Yellow Phase,” the governor would have allowed 25 of us.

Must-See Video: Lone Conservative Prevent Antifa Mob From Torching Democrat Mayor’s House; Community Leaders Quit Over Response to Violence, Riots

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. A local conservative who ran against his city’s progressive mayor in last year’s primary, nevertheless, came to her defense when agitated Antifa vandals claiming to support black people mobilized outside her home, with one wielding a torch.

David Ross, who hosts “The David Ross Show” podcast, captured on video his confrontation last Friday night in Olympia, Washington, with militants in front of Mayor Cheryl Selby’s house chanting “Abolish the police.”

The irony, as WND reported, was that Selby was seen on video at a Black Lives Matter protest June 1 drawing cheers from a crowd as she kneeled before black-clad activists in the state’s capital city.

But 12 days later, about 50 “black-clad protesters,” according to The Olympian newspaper’s description, smashed windows, burned flags and spray-painted businesses downtown then moved the mayhem to her front lawn.

Community Leaders Quit Over Response to Violence, Riots

By Fox 59. The eight-member leadership of the southeast side CDRC submitted a mass resignation letter over the past weekend, frustrated, they said, by what is perceived to be Hogsett’s failing anti-violence initiatives and the mayor’s response to two nights of looting, riots and arson that rocked downtown Indianapolis following peaceful protests against racial injustice and in favor of criminal justice reform during the last weekend in May.

“I think you start seeing things that are detrimental to the community but no one seems to want to hear what you have to say because they’re too busy working on political agendas,” said CDRC Co-Chair Dr. Chris Holland. “You don’t feel like your voice isn’t heard if you’re not saying the right thing.”

Indianapolis’ 2020 homicide totals have reached 100, weeks before a similar milestone was reached a year ago when the city was also on a record-setting pace during the final year of Hogsett’s first term after he campaigned be the city’s “Public Safety Mayor.”

“You see the violent numbers continue to climb and nobody says anything,” said Dr. Holland. “You see the city burned, looted, riots, I’m not talking about peaceful protest, you’ve been down there, I’ve been down there, you see the damage, people have been killed during that and nobody even wants to walk through the damage to look at that. To me that says, ‘I’ve either checked out some way or I don’t care.’ (Read more from “Community Leaders Quit Over Response to Violence, Riots” HERE)

China Develops Weapons to Fry U.S. Electric Grid, Eyes High-Tech ‘Pearl Harbor’ Attack

/1 Comment/in , , /by

With the help of stolen U.S. technology, China has developed at least three types of high-tech weapons to attack the electric grid and key technologies in a “surprise Pearl Harbor” assault that could send America into a deadly blackout, according to a new analysis.

According to the report from the independent EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, China has built a network of satellites, high-speed missiles, and “super-electromagnetic pulse” weapons that could melt down the U.S. electric network, fry critical communications, and stifle aircraft carrier groups.

According to the report, written by the task force’s executive director, Peter Pry, long an expert on EMP warfare, China developed the weapons as part of its “Total Information Warfare” that includes hacking raids on computers.

What’s more, despite China’s promises to attack only after being attacked, Pry revealed new data to show that the communist nation is lying and eager to shoot first with “high-altitude electromagnetic pulse,” or HEMP, weapons launched from satellites, ships, and land.

“China’s military doctrine — including numerous examples presented here of using HEMP attack to win on the battlefield, defeat U.S. aircraft carriers, and achieve against the U.S. homeland a surprise ‘Pearl Harbor’ writ large — is replete with technical and operational planning consistent with a nuclear first-strike,” said Pry in his report provided to Secrets.

This State Now Requires Masks in Public

/0 Comments/in , , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday issued a statewide order mandating the use of facemasks in public, as more counties reconsider their regulations and the state continues to experience an increase in coronavirus-related hospitalizations as businesses reopen.

“Science shows that face coverings and masks work,” Newsom said in a statement announcing the order. “They are critical to keeping those who are around you safe, keeping businesses open and restarting our economy.”

The order comes as California broadly reopens the economy; in most counties, people can now shop, dine in at restaurants, get their hair done and go to church, among other things. Meanwhile, coronavirus cases are increasing, something the state says is expected as more people get tested. More than 3,400 people were in the hospital as of Wednesday, the most patients hospitalized since April. . .

The order will require people to wear masks when inside or in line for any indoor public spaces, in health care settings like hospitals and pharmacies, while waiting for or riding public transportation and in outdoor spaces where it’s not possible to stay six feet apart from other people.

Until now, the Democratic governor had let local governments decide whether to mandate masks, an issue that’s become politically fraught as some Americans resist orders to wear them. He said he’s issuing the order now because too many people are going out in public without face coverings as businesses, restaurants and other sectors of the economy reopen.
