Hong Kong Protestors Portray Red China’s Flag Accurately

The Chinese communists are afraid. You might not guess it from the invertebrate and borderline anti-national corporate media parroting Chinese state propaganda, but they are.

Beijing is shaken. Their dream of dominating the globe eventually, with the slow overstretch and collapse of the Pax Americana, was considered a matter of destiny.

Then suddenly, it all was shaken. A combination of incompetence, criminal negligence, and totalitarian suppression of a new devastating virus originating from the raw meat and wet markets of interior China let it rage through the globe.

Many media outlets are trying to hush it, but the people are not idiots. Over 60 percent of Americans support President Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and that includes his saber-rattling against Beijing.

And Beijing is afraid. You can feel that in their intersectional tweets, which are indistinguishable from any random western op-ed in Vice or BuzzFeed or CNN, or the tweets of Alyssa Milano or Jenny Yang.

The Chinese state isn’t a race, it’s a regime, and it is not racist to point out that they torched the globe.

People tend to come together in moments of crisis, most people anyway.

Then there’s always that selfish jerk in a zombie movie interested in grabbing the wads of cash or something else they’d always wanted but couldn’t get before everything went to hell, and it usually costs them.

Democrats are that selfish jerk.

And while it varies what the cost is in the movies – either his life or the life of someone else – in the case of coronavirus, let it be the political lives of every Democrat, because they truly are bad people.

Montecalvo, Lombardy, Italy. As I sit here in my involuntary isolation, it was just reported that overnight 743 more people died and 5.249 new cases have been reported. This brings the total cases of infection to 69,176 and the body count to 6,820. We take relief in knowing that 8,326 people have recovered so far. (Numbers as of 3/24, 8:30pm in Italy.)

Sixty million of us are in lockdown...it is like a war zone here. We are being held prisoner in our own homes by an unseen enemy that sneaked in unnoticed...by most of us. As you will read in just a few more minutes, there were those who knew something like this was coming... or at least they should have.

So who is to blame? With all this craziness swirling like a whirlpool at our feet, I just had to find the blame answer. And so I have spent my free time (of which I have a lot in these days) digging and researching. I was literally shocked to discover how this has come to be.

It has everything to do with communists. Allow me to explain.

The almost empty Oculus hub in New York, March 17

[Note by JW – please see the must-read comment on this editorial by Mark Skousen below]

Financial markets paused their slide Thursday (3/19), but no one should think this rolling economic calamity is over. If this government-ordered shutdown continues for much more than another week or two, the human cost of job losses and bankruptcies will exceed what most Americans imagine.

This won’t be popular to read in some quarters, but federal and state officials need to start adjusting their anti-virus strategy now to avoid an economic recession that will dwarf the harm from 2008-2009.

The costs of this national shutdown are growing by the hour, and we don’t mean federal spending. We mean a tsunami of economic destruction that will cause tens of millions to lose their jobs as commerce and production simply cease. Many large companies can withstand a few weeks without revenue but that isn’t true of millions of small and mid-sized firms.

Want to know why the U.S. economy is in free fall?

Why restaurants and bars are closing, putting millions out of work, and why the airline industry is facing possible bankruptcy? Why schools across the nation are shutting down, leaving students to fall behind and parents without safe places to send their children everyday?

Why the stock market is plummeting, wiping out the retirement and college savings of millions of Americans? Why the elderly are isolated in nursing homes and tens of millions who don’t have the option of teleworking have no idea how they will pay their bills?

Answer: Because China is a brutal totalitarian dictatorship.

As nations across the world struggle to contain the Wuhan coronavirus, they should realize it is also long past time to quarantine the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The people of China must understand that their future under the Communist Party is as outcasts, lepers, pariahs – isolated and quarantined by the civilized world. If that is not the future they want, the time to rise up and overthrow the Communists is now.

The future of China is warehouses stuffed full of rotting and decaying goods no one will buy, accounts filled with money they can’t spend, travel instantly blocked at the first sign of pandemic because that’s the only responsible way for the world to handle the Communist Party.

China is far too opaque, far too dismissive of basic human rights, to be welcomed into reputable international organizations as a full member. The CCP corrupts every organization it joins. It should be expelled from all of them, or relegated to observer status only.

dodge-the-ticket-virus-style

The world is changing at a pace not seen in years, and it is no time to become captives of fear despite the real and immediate dangers we face.

The Wuhan virus and the ensuing panic, at least for a few more weeks, have stagnated the economy and scared global financial markets, accompanied by both collateral, and independent and simultaneous, bad news.

Rumor- and panic-mongers predominate; the rational and reasonable are written-off as naïve and out of it. Hundreds may die in the US, but millions who will not are terrified into anxieties and sleeplessness that they will.

Such deaths are terrible, yes, but let us now focus on a number of silver linings emerging from this crisis.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee Agreed to have a battle; For Tweedledum said Tweedledee Had spoiled his nice new rattle. Just then flew down a monstrous crow, As black as a tar-barrel; Which frightened both the heroes so, They quite forgot their quarrel.

—Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

But these two old codgers are beyond grumpy; they are both tethered to the already done or distant past.

Like Lewis Carroll's Tweedledum and Tweedledee, these two curmudgeons are barely distinguishable from one another but for their sheer idiocy. No American who watched their Sunday night debate will be inclined to vote for either of them.

If you listened to Chinese state-run media, you'd think President Trump went to Wuhan, China and released vials of COVID-19 on groups of unsuspecting men, women and children.

Beijing has been bending over backward in a massive global propaganda effort to convince the world that the United States is the real culprit behind the quickly spreading virus that's already claimed more than 4,946 lives (3,169 in China, 1,016 in Italy, 429 in Iran, and 332 in the rest of the world).

It's a high-stakes strategy for the Asian nation fighting to keep its superpower status amid a national lockdown and palpable anger that Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the Wuhan Virus, at first covered it up, triggering a worldwide health and economic crisis.

With fear and panic spreading across the land and threatening to take down the economy, Trump is facing the greatest test of his presidency. Although battle-hardened by brutal fights with Democrats, the biased media and foreign adversaries, he is presented with problems of a different magnitude with the coronavirus.

It is a global menace that has declared war on America. Thankfully, the President left no doubt that he is all in on the battle against this deadly scourge. Now effectively a wartime president, Trump’s repeated assurances of victory were music to the ears of a rattled nation.

Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Salman, Moscow, June 2018

Not for the first time, let’s wonder how much Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (widely known as MBS) really know what they’re doing.

Oil has crashed to $32 a barrel thanks to a sudden feud between Russia and Saudi Arabia, which comes amid the Covid-19 shock to the global economy. The upshot could bankrupt a lot of U.S. shale companies, if that’s either man’s thinking.

But the U.S. may be the world’s biggest producer but oil is a tiny share of its economy. What America loses in terms of oil-industry wages and profits it gains in lower gas prices for consumers and energy costs for downstream industries.

The strongmen’s desperation is understandable but nothing else about their feud is: Saudi Arabia and Russia have zilch to offer the world except oil and gas.

Biden yelling at a Detroit auto worker today (3/10)

Why, when Joe Biden's mental decline is so obvious, are so many former Obamaphiles pledging their spurious support for the man?  Something's up.

It is beyond clear that Biden is not up to the job. This fact cannot escape the notice of Susan Rice, James Comey, John Brennan, et al., all those conspirators who tried so treasonously hard to destroy Donald Trump.

They surely know better than most that Biden is a dead man walking.  So why the all-out campaign to support his candidacy?  Hmmm.

They must have a plan.

Nations are closing borders, stocks are plummeting and a New York Times headline reads: “The Coronavirus Has Put the World’s Economy in Survival Mode.”

Both political parties have realized the crisis could severely impact the November elections — House, Senate, Presidency.

And sacré bleu, they’ve even shuttered the Louvre!

Some of these reactions are understand­able, but much of it pure hysteria. Meanwhile, the spread of the virus continues to slow.  Odds are very high it will be gone by the end of next month.  Here’s why.

President Trump has promised to make the media and Democrats rue the fact that Joe Biden’s corruption in Ukraine has been placed off limits.

The president phoned in to Sean Hannity’s Fox News program last night (3/04), just 24 hours after Biden’s return from the dead. While much can still happen to once again alter everyone’s expectations, the former vice president is now seen as the clear frontrunner to win the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination.

Biden’s Burisma-gate stinks to high heaven, and Trump knows it. He also knows the media and the Democrat establishment have so far made the topic verboten during the primary process and that this is an opportunity for him.

You don’t need to watch the whole 40-minute POTUS-Hannity interview, just for two minutes at 5:55, when Hannity asks him about the Biden-Burisma corruption issue and how the media and all of Biden’s Dem opponents pretend it doesn’t exist.  The transcript of the President remarks follows.

When I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained.

Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.

The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data.  This advice applies to you if you live in or travel to an infected area, or if the expansion becomes sufficiently widespread throughout the US.

Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves:

With a sweep of the south and key victories in Minnesota and Massachusetts, the media narrative today (3/04) is all about how Joe Biden is the comeback kid, back from the dead, risen like a Phoenix from the ashes. That sort of thing.

It’s the kind of story the media loves. They love it so much it doesn’t matter whether it’s true, or whether the media was writing Biden off less than a week ago.

The surprise comeback, vindicated frontrunner narrative is going to be pushed so hard by the mainstream press and the Democrat establishment in the coming days, you’ll think Biden’s nomination is pretty much a done deal.

What the headlines and the narrative won’t tell you is what any casual survey of the Democrat primary map plainly shows: Super Tuesday didn’t solve the Democrat Party’s Bernie Sanders problem.

A win in California would be an electoral wipeout for Democrats in 2020. Is it possible?

The last time a Republican won the state was back in 1988 when Bush walloped Dukakis, but it was by a razor-thin margin. Given the Golden State’s deeply entrenched Democrat bastions, is it even possible that this state is in play?

I mean what could cause Democrats to cross the aisle here. What could state Democrats possibly due to create a pathway for a hated man like Trump to a run to flip the state? Oh, could it be their nonsensical freelance law—AB5—that has reaped havoc on the state?

Yep. The Democrat Party has received a face-full of buckshot over this bill. Here’s the story.

The Democrat leaders and candidates blasted President Trump’s response to the Coronavirus outbreak, just as they blast everything else that he does.

Note that the Dems’ criticism of Trump’s response to the virus is unaccompanied by any specific suggestions. They do suggest spending more money on the problem, though they don’t say how. Maybe they think they can curry favor with the virus by buying it free stuff.

Their demand for more money is not because they’ve talked to medical and other experts and done the math. They don’t even bother to say that they have. No, it’s because they want to be able to say down the road that the contagion grew into a deadly pandemic because Trump messed up.

For that posturing to work, of course, the virus has to grow into a deadly pandemic.  That’s what they want.

Who could have imagined that the debate in Charleston on Tuesday (2/25) would be worse than the previous one, the one in Vegas during which Elizabeth Warren went after Bloomberg with a scythe, Bernie did his wild-eyed crazed thing, and Biden fell flat?

The most appalling aspect of the debate was the sheer childishness of it.

They all talked at once, raising and waving their hands to be called on like second-graders, shouting over one another as if they were guests on the Jerry Springer show.  It was pathetic.

Anyone and everyone watching had to ask themselves, "How on Earth are these seven people the presidential candidates of the Democrat party?"

Which one is the Prime Minister of Canada?

Canada is presently in the throes of social and political disintegration.

A left-leaning electorate has once again empowered a socialist government promoting all the lunatic ideological shibboleths of the day: global warming or “climate change,” radical feminism, indigenous sovereignty, expansionary government, environmental strangulation of energy production, and the presumed efficiency of totalitarian legislation.

Industry and manufacturing are abandoning the country in droves and heading south.

Canada is now reaping the whirlwind. The Red-Green Axis consisting of social justice warriors, hereditary band chiefs, renewable energy cronies, cultural Marxists, and their political and media enablers have effectively shut down the country.

Given Russia’s lack of a developed highway system, and its increasing difficulties with the use of rivers for transport (Ritmeurasia.org, October 22, 2019), Moscow not only relies more heavily on the country’s long-haul railway network but counts on it to allow Russia to play a key role in trade between China and Europe.

However, because of Moscow’s failure to invest in the maintenance and development of that network, Beijing is increasingly skeptical that Russia can be such a land route. Consequently, China is looking to send its goods either by sea or by routes that bypass the Russian Federation entirely.

So what might seem to be a domestic problem is rapidly becoming an international one for Moscow.  You would not believe how big a problem.

Nanny Bloomberg

Former New York mayor and multibillionaire Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, four years ago at Oxford, England, dismissed farming, ancient and modern.

He lectured that agriculture was little more than the rote labor of dropping seeds into the ground and watching corn sprout — easy, mindless, automatic.

“I could teach anybody,” Bloomberg pontificated, “even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer.”

He contrasted such supposedly unintelligent labor of the past (and present) with the “skill set” of the current “information economy” that requires “how to think and analyze.” In this new economy, he said, “you have to have a lot more gray matter.”

Gray matter?  It’s him and all Dem elitists who need more of that.
