"If the President can vote by mail, then so can I." - I can't count how many times I've seen that argument in the last week.
Which is exactly why I fail to get riled up by anything that is pushed by the media anymore. What the cop did was absolutely vile and evil, but the only reason it's even getting the media attention it is ... is because he was white and the victim was black. White guy's also a cop, so it's a double win for the media's goal of pushing racial division and mistrust in law enforcement in this country while also trying to pin it on Trump and his supporters. The media will never note that this incident happened in Omar's district in one of the bluest American cities in a blue state that is rife with corruption.
So instead of personally investigating and reporting the details of the Scarborough case, the "journalist" finds it more noteworthy to ask why the President would make the accusation with the underlying assumption that said accusation is preposterous and dangerous .... this is why journalism is dead.
ABC’s World News Tonight placed the story in the middle of their broadcast and framed it as “Biden’s Apology” and called the statements “presumptive.” They also made sure to end the segment with “Trump’s history of racially charged comments” in the past.
I can usually grit my teeth through their half hour of fake news, but tonight’s episode had me livid. Their coverage of Trump calling for churches to be opened had such a derogatory tone. They lay blame on churches for surges in COVID-19 cases, claimed singing can lead to transmission of the virus since its airborne, and also made the distinction that churches are “quote essential” giving the impression that it’s an opinion held only by a certain group. Add in the fact that every single segment (sans Biden) was a COVID-19 scare piece ... I was thoroughly disgusted albeit not surprised.
There was evidence in Washington state as well. Most of the outbreak there was centered around a couple of nursing homes.
But I thought fat was beautiful? Isn't that why they’ve pushed attention for plus-size celebrities in these last few years? Lizzo's feeling good as hell, so why is Trump's weight being critiqued?
It's always amazing how stark the contrast in tone is when it comes to the stories MSM covers. On ABC's World News Tonight, they were really hammering in a dark tone that the FDA "warns" of "dangers" with HCQ. However, in the subsequent story about a new vaccine, the tone was cheery and optimistic as they spoke of a test subject who was about to have his 2nd round of injections.
I grew up on a lot of Collin Raye's music, so it's nice to see him in the spotlight again. His most notable hit is "Little Rock" which focuses on alcoholism, but he had some lighthearted songs like "That's My Story." Hope he has a huge crowd show up.
That same organization ran an ad during “Fox and Friends” on Friday I believe. They were attacking Trump’s response to COVID-19, and it read like a Biden ad. When I saw the name “Rule of Law Republicans,” I had to scoff. Looked them up, and they’re a project of “Defending Democracy Together” who has Bill Kristol listed as a director.
So they're importing beef from Namibia, but telling American farmers to kill their cattle? This needs to be stopped immediately!
Oh, this briefing is gold! She's a firecracker!
"Do you promise never to lie to us?"
What sort of bogus question is that!?!
And NYC is set up unlike the rest of the country, in that they're stacked up on top of each other and completely reliant on public transportation.
And we wonder why they're hit harder?
Oil field workers are being laid off in droves right now.
I intentionally avoided that event simply because of the WHO / globalist connection and how it was being shoved in our faces by MSM. Saw the left was clamoring over the Michelle Obama and Laura Bush collaboration on social media. Just shows how all of the establishment is on the same team and against America.
Instead, I’ll be watching/streaming the Hope Rising online benefit concert on Sunday night that is supporting Samaritan’s Purse. Given how the networks snubbed it due to its Christian content, I feel like I should support it even more.
Available in west Texas too. Local press even did a story about a recovered patient who had requested it after he heard about it on TV. The patient, who had pneumonia in both lungs, said he was about 24-48 hours away from being put on a ventilator.
They bought out a theater in my town a year or so ago, got rid of the roadside marquee and put new signage up, yet I never knew if they ever really opened. Never saw cars there. I don’t think anyone else in town knew either, because within a couple of months it was closed. It’s now a hardware store.
He was fantastic in that movie. Loved him in "The Rookie" and "Frequency" too.
You’ve raised quite a bit of money for hospitals and are a big patient-safety advocate, so I’m curious how you feel the president and federal government are handling the current pandemic? It does look like hospitals are criminally undersupplied right now.
DQ: Well, to tell you the truth, I think the president is handling it in a good way. We see him on television every day, he’s involved, and the travel ban early on was a great idea—which he did in spite of protest about that. But I don’t want to get into the protest. I’m an independent—I’ve voted both ways throughout my life, swinging like a pendulum toward what the country needed at the time—and I think this might be an opportunity for the country to come together again. World War II did that for that generation, and this might be our defining moment of a generation. It’s going to be a different world, for sure, when all this is over, and hopefully we can all be a bit more unified.
But partisanship aside, when we talk about the lack of medical supplies and hospitals not having the gear and ventilators they need, in February, the Trump administration shipped 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China—knowing full well that this pandemic was about to hit our shores. They’d been briefed on it. So that’s a big reason why we’re so depleted right now.
DQ: We were trying to defeat the virus at its source at that time, and as I heard yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few other people are taking planes over there and shipping a lot of it back. The states are also responsible for having stockpiles of their own, according to their own needs. You know, New York, I really feel for those people and I think they’re doing their best to get them everything they need. We’ll figure that all out when it’s over, as far as whether anybody died because they couldn’t get a ventilator in a hospital. I haven’t heard reports about that, have you?
Yeah. There have been reports about people dying because there aren’t enough ventilators in New York, and they’ve been practicing “ventilator-sharing,” where they’re putting two people on a single ventilator because they’re short on them. And certain states, like Florida, are getting what they ask for as far as supplies go, while New York, which is the epicenter, isn’t receiving anywhere near what they’ve asked for, which is puzzling on a number of levels.
DQ: Well, New York had a chance to buy thousands of ventilators at a very good price like two years ago, but I don’t want to get into the finger-pointing, because Cuomo is doing a great job out there working for the people of his state. And I think Trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is doing a good job at trying to get these states—and all of the American people—what they need, and also trying to hold our economy together and be prepared for when this is all over. I don’t want to get into petty arguments about it. There’s a lot of talk about how South Korea handled the crisis, and the thing about South Korea is they’re still in a state of war with North Korea and are always on the alert for all kinds of threats—nuclear threats, biological threats—so I would imagine that had something to do with how quickly they were able to respond to it.
That may be a part of it, but the government also took swift action. We, on the other hand—
DQ: Oh, I think that we did too though. As soon as we found out what the threat was… China wasn’t really revealing to the rest of the world what was going on. Five million people I heard had fled the Wuhan province before they had quarantined it, and were all over the world and allowed to come to this country. There was no warning whatsoever. The virus probably started back in November, and we didn’t learn about it until January.
Right. China has definitely not been above board here. But Congress was briefed that this pandemic was coming to our shores on Jan. 24, so the Trump administration knew before then, and the Army warned the Trump administration in early February that the virus could kill upward of 150,000 people, yet we didn’t really get any stay-at-home orders or cautioning until mid-March, which is a long time to not really act on it.
DQ: But Trump did do the travel ban to China, and then to Europe very quickly afterward, and he was castigated by a lot of members of Congress, who were just getting out of the impeachment, that it was racist what he was doing. It’s a good thing we had that travel ban at the time. You know, the world has never experienced this, and I don’t think it’s a time to be political. I think it’s just time to get behind our government and have everybody do what they can. If you want to point blame after, that’s another story, but right now I think we all just really need to come together on this. To get back to your original question, I do appreciate that Trump is giving the briefings and on television every day giving out the information, and I think they have great people handling it. Just one more thing out side of that: Despite presidents, Congress, and political parties, this is the United States of America, and we’re a very adaptable people in situations like this, and I think we’re all going to get through it. My heart goes out to everyone.
There are a bunch of interviews popping up lately on my suggested videos on YouTube with Fauci and left-leaning media figures or social media influencers. Needless to say, these videos make me raise my eyebrow quite a bit. The videos are under the guise of health awareness, but it just feels a bit too chummy.
As always, these "migrants" seem very well dressed to be escaping such "dire" situations.
And given how the source is ABC News, I'd say the percentage of "very enthusiastic" is likely higher than polled.
So sad to hear. Lots of great memories listening to his music when I was a kid. Hope people will pay their last respects one quarter at a time.
I feel like I put much more work into my online degree than I did with most of my classes at a brick and mortar. My planner was my lifeline due to the sheer amount of deadlines I had to keep, and discussion posts had me typing 4-5 pages of material a week at minimum.
The best part was ... I avoided the angry political screeching that comes from many professors. Sure, I saw bias in some of the reading material, but you had full freedom to choose what you wanted to discuss, research, or create in your projects. It was refreshing.
This is the phrase I’m seeing repeated by all the left-leaning crowd that I know on social media. It just reminds me of how many of our fellow citizens are sheep. We’ve had 3 years of silence in terms of racial division, yet after 2-3 weeks of wall-to-wall media coverage of a select few white-on-black cases, suddenly America is a country with a deep-rooted racism problem and rioting is the only way for blacks to have their voice heard. The fact that people can’t see the obvious manipulation is both horrifying and tragic.
