NYT Changes Headline To Avoid Blaming Democrats for Blocking Senate Coronavirus Deal

Posted by Mary Chastain on March 23, 2020 13 Comments

Okay, yeah, the mainstream media totally sticks to the nonpartisan position they should all have. I blogged about how Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ruined the bipartisan stimulus bill in the Senate. The New York Times used a correct headline the first time but changed it two more times to move the blame away from the Democrats.

Iran’s Ayatollah Rejects U.S. Help, Claiming U.S. Created Coronavirus To Target Iran

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal on March 23, 2020 18 Comments

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on Sunday rejected U.S. assistance in the fight against Coronavirus outbreak. He cited a bizarre conspiracy theory that the virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, was an American creation "specifically built for Iran using the genetic data of Iranians."

Democrats’ Rescue Bill Plan: “This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 23, 2020 41 Comments

Nancy Pelosi didn't just swoop in out of nowhere to kill the bipartisan Senate bill. It was part of the plan since at least last Thursday, when Senate negotiations kicked off with the Republican goal of a vote on the bill today.

Sunday, Democrats tanked a bipartisan bill that would've quickly helped buffer the economic damage caused by the country's coronavirus response, choosing instead to utilize the current crisis to further their policy wish list.

Hillary and Chinese Gov’t Reading From Same Script In Calling Trump Racist Over “Chinese Virus”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 22, 2020 27 Comments

Two weeks ago we noted that Democrats and the media were attacking Trump as racist for using the term "China virus." That was part of a wide effort not only to ban that term, but any term tying the coronovirus to China. That effort started from the moment Trump restricted travel from China. That decision, now recognized at buying the U.S. critical time, was called racist and xenophobic, including by Joe Biden:

Senate Democrats block economic rescue bill after Pelosi pulls powerplay in House

Posted by Mary Chastain on March 22, 2020 90 Comments

The supposed bipartisanship to help the economic fallout from the Wuhan coronavirus fell apart on Sunday after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi returned to DC. Coincidence? Probably not because the minute she gets back, shows off her "wishlist," the Democrats vote no on a bill they negotiated.

When a Global Pandemic Brings Out the Best in the American People

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on March 22, 2020 20 Comments

If you're a political / news junkie like me, you have been inundated with coronavirus doom and gloom of late. From the media's relentless TDS that has turned them into scruffy sandwich-board doomsday prophets to news of stay-at-home orders and various lock-downs, we can easily get caught up in the panic and despair ourselves.

Infamous Post-Script to Elizabeth Warren Campaign: Pro-Warren Super PAC Funded by Silicon Valley Megadonor

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on March 22, 2020 15 Comments

One of Elizabeth Warren's key 2020 presidential campaign pledges was eschewing big money donors and PACs, claiming they were dangerous to democracy. Of course, this didn't stop her from transferring over from her Senate campaign big money from big donors, nor did it stop her campaign from holding big dollar fundraisers with a cardboard cutout in place of Warren herself.

As I pointed out in a recent Quick Take, people are already wondering if the Coronavirus crsis will burst the higher education bubble. Tucker Carlson addressed this issue in a monologue on his show this week which was right to the point.

I went to Walmart early this morning, hoping to pick up a few things before the crowds arrived. The bad news is the shelves were really picked over, frighteningly so, and not just for food. The good news is the aisles were filled with wrapped pallets of food and assorted other things, with workers feverishly unpacking and shelving items. Seems I got there just a little too early.

Rachel Maddow and others call on networks not to broadcast Trump coronavirus press conferences

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 21, 2020 86 Comments

Donald Trump's daily press conferences, attended by numerous senior health and other officials, are a must-watch. Enormous information is provided by officials, and Trump signals where he thinks the crisis is going. Trump spends an hour or more taking reporter questions, some of which are hostile.

Earlier this month, I noted that North Korea's recent threats regarding its ballistic missile capability may be masking a serious outbreak of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
