Stacey Abrams Criticizes GA Gov. Brian Kemp’s Plan to Reopen State as ‘Dangerously Incompetent’

Posted by Mike LaChance on April 21, 2020 48 Comments

We recently pointed out that Stacey Abrams is now campaigning to be Joe Biden's running mate. Naturally, she has to have an opinion on when Georgia's economy should be reopened, and of course, it's negative. At least she is finally acknowledging she is not the governor of Georgia.

Posted by Mary Chastain on April 21, 2020 22 Comments

Authorities in San Clemente, CA, filled a local skate park with sand to enforce the social distancing rules in place because of the Wuhan coronavirus. Instead of cowering, skaters and bikers turned the park into a dirt bike course. Then they all dug up all the sand to make it a skate park again.

Not Funny: Nancy Pelosi caused a week delay in funding the Paycheck Protection Program

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 20, 2020 43 Comments

Last Thursday, the Paycheck Protection Program ran out of funding authorization, and the SBA stopped accepting new loan applications. That halt came because for several days prior to last Thursday, continuing through today, Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi refused a Republican request for an additional $250 in funding.

Done Deal — Netanyahu will be Israeli Prime Minister in Unity Government

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 20, 2020 9 Comments

The last time we checked in on the dysfunctional Israel elections, it looked like Bibi Netanyahu's Likud Party had won a sweeping election -- the third in a year -- which would allow it to put together a right-wing coalition government. BUT WAIT, then the exit polls were off and the actual results still had Likud in the lead, but without the ability to put together a ruling coalition. A majority of Knesset members said they would back Blue-and-White challenger for Prime Minister Benny Gantz, leading Israel's President to give Gantz the 'mandate' to form a government....

IL Senate Democrats Using Wuhan Coronavirus to Get Federal Aid to Solve Their Financial Mess

Posted by Mary Chastain on April 20, 2020 23 Comments

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.

Trump Tweets Satirical Video of Obama Ignoring Super Awkward Biden Comments

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on April 20, 2020 24 Comments

As far as political videos go, this one is pretty funny. Monday morning, Trump tweeted a video (not a product of his official re-election campaign) which shows "Obama" and a few other guys watching a game. During the commercial break, clips of Biden at his weirdest, the guys look at "Obama" who shrugs and goes, "what?" Obama's head is clearly superimposed on another's body in what was originally an Allstate ad.

NY Times Blames Sean Hannity for Bar Owner Coronavirus Death, but Timeline Bungled and Ignores Reporter’s Own Tweet

Posted by Mary Chastain on April 20, 2020 46 Comments

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.

Americans Deluged With Coronavirus Scams – Here Are Some Schemes to Avoid

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on April 19, 2020 15 Comments

The Wuhan coronavirus is doing a lot of damage not just to those afflicted and their families, but to our economy. As is typical in the face of crisis, the unscrupulous are eager to take advantage. We're hearing the "usual" reports of price-gouging and even horror stories about some landlords soliciting sex in exchange for rent. There have also been in recent weeks a flurry of warnings issued by Wall Street regulators, governors, the FBI, the IRS, and other officials about a range of scams and fraud being perpetrated across our country.
