Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

News about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's possible demise blew up social media on Monday night when CNN first reported that a source told the network Kim was in "grave danger" after surgery. MSNBC's Katy Tur tweeted (then deleted) Kim is brain dead. South Korea responded that Kim is perfectly fine. What is going on in the hermit kingdom?

Never let a crisis go to waste! Americans have died and continue to suffer under an economic shutdown due to the Wuhan coronavirus. Illinois Senate Democrats decided to use the crisis as a way to receive federal aid, but not for the people of the state. They want federal aid to bail them out of their financial crisis caused by useless spending and bloated government.

Brooklyn bar owner Joe Joyce passed away on April 9 of the Wuhan coronavirus. Ginia Bellafonte at The New York Times tried so hard to blame Fox News (specifically Sean Hannity) for Joyce's death because he went on a cruise on March 1. Supposedly Joyce decided to go ahead with his plans because Hannity downplayed the virus. The hatred for Fox News blinded Bellafonte because she made two basic mistakes, which caused her editors to fix her piece. Oh, they did not add an "editor's note" at the bottom. The two problems: Joyce went on his cruise on March 1, but Bellafonte quoted remarks from Hannity on March 8. Bellafonte forgot she didn't take the virus seriously around the same time.

Severe TDS-sufferer Jennifer Rubin tried to argue that President Donald Trump's inaction on the Wuhan coronavirus led to the death of thousands of Americans and basically destroyed the country. Thankfully, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) came in with a cool head and tweeted out the much-needed facts when it comes to Trump's response to the Wuhan coronavirus.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) endorsed presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Joe Biden. Warren did not receive as much hate as she did when she did not endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) after he dropped out, but it looks like a "Never Biden" movement might make some waves like the "Never Hillary" people in 2016.

Our Founding Fathers never once said that the rights given to us by our Creator go out the door in the case of a viral pandemic. In other words, the Constitution still exists and it still protects us from tyrants. The Raleigh Police Department had the nerve to tell someone on Twitter that protesting is a non-essential activity.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, that woman in Michigan, faces a massive protest after she extended orders in the state due to the Wuhan coronavirus. This includes banning the sale of non-essential items, including garden seeds in stores, and residence-to-residence travel for residents of the state. A man also drew up a recall petition on Change.org, which has received over 200,000 signatures.
