  35. And FOCUS.
  36. Get enough security and get Joe and Kamala installed.
  37. The following are POTUS TRUMP’S WORDS:
  38. Media will not show the magnitude of this crowd.
  39. Even I, when I turned on today, I looked, and I saw thousands of people here, but you don’t see hundreds of thousands of people behind you because they don’t want to show that.
  40. We have hundreds of thousands of people here, and I just want them to be recognized by the fake news media. 
  41. Turn your cameras, please, and show what is really happening out here, because these people are not going to take it any longer, they’re not going to take it any longer.
  42. Go ahead, turn your cameras, please.
  43. Would you show they came from all over the world actually, but they came from all over our country.
  44. I just really want to see what they do.
  45. I just want to see how they cover it.
  46. I’ve never seen anything like it, but it would be really great if we could be covered fairly by the media.
  47. The media is the biggest problem we have as far as I’m concerned, single biggest problem.
  48. The fake news and the big tech, big tech, is now coming into their own.
  49. We beat them four years ago, we surprised them.
  50. We took him by surprise and this year they rigged an election, they rigged it like they have never rigged an election before, and by the way, last night, they didn’t do a bad job either, if you notice.
  51. I am honest, and I just again, I want to thank you.
  52. It’s just a great honor to have this kind of crowd and to be before you and hundreds of thousands of American patriots who are committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious Republic.
  53. All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by bold and radical left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media.
  54. That is what they have done and what they are doing.
  55. We will never give up.
  56. We will never concede.
  57. It doesn’t happen.
  58. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.
  59. Our country has had enough. 
  60. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about.
  61. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.
  62. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide.
  63. This was not a close election.
  64. You know I say sometimes jokingly, but there’s no joke about it.
  65. I have been in two elections.
  66. I won them both and the second one I won much bigger than the first, okay?
  67. Almost 75 million people voted for our campaign, the most of any incumbent president by far in the history of our country; 12 million more than four years ago.
  68. And I was told by the real pollsters; we do have real pollsters.
  69. They know that we were going to do well and we were going to win.
  70. What I was told, if I went from 63 million, which we had four years ago, to 66 million, there was no chance of losing.
  71. Well, we didn’t go to 66, we went to 75 million, and they say we lost.
  72. We didn’t lose.
  73. And by the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes?
  74. Does anybody believe that?
  75. He had 80 million computer votes.
  76. It’s a disgrace.
  77. There’s never been anything like that.
  78. You can take Third World countries, just take a look, take Third World countries, their elections are more honest than what we have been going through in this country.
  79. It’s a disgrace.
  80. It’s a disgrace.
  81. Even when you look at last night, they were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off with boxes, and nobody knows what the hell is going on.
  82. There’s never been anything like this.
  83. We will not let them silence your voices.
  84. We’re not going to let it happen.
  85. Not going to let it happen.
  86. Thank you.
  87. And I would love to have, if those tens of thousands of people would be allowed, the military, the Secret Service and we want to thank you — and the police and law enforcement — great, you’re doing a great job.
  88. But I would love it if they could be allowed to come up with us. Is that possible?
  89. Can you just let them, please?
  90. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job.
  91. He’s got guts.
  92. You know what?
  93. He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party, he’s got guts, he fights, he fights.
  94. [How did Rudy fight? He filed lawsuits and addressed legislatures and the public.]
  95. And I will tell you thank you very much, John [Eastman], fantastic job. I watched — that’s a tough act to follow those two.
  96. John is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country and he looked at this, and he said what an absolute disgrace that this could be happening to our Constitution, and he looked at Mike Pence, and I hope Mike is going to do the right thing.
  97. I hope so.
  98. I hope so because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.
  99. All he has to do — all — this is — this is from the number one or certainly one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country.
  100. He has the absolute right to do it.
  101. We’re supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution and protect our Constitution.
  102. States want to revote, the states got defrauded.
  103. They were given false information, they voted on it.
  104. Now they want to recertify; they want it back.
  105. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.
  106. And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. 
  107. I said, Mike, that doesn’t take courage, what takes courage is to do nothing.
  108. That takes courage, and then we are stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot, and we have to live with that for four more years.
  109. We’re just not going to let that happen.
  110. Many of you have traveled from all across the nation to be here, and I want to thank you for the extraordinary love.
  111. That is what it is; there’s never been a movement like this ever, ever for the extraordinary love for this amazing country.
  112. And this amazing movement.
  113. Thank you.
  114. By the way, this goes all the way back past the Washington Monument.
  115. Do you believe this? Look at this.
  116. Unfortunately, they gave the press the prime seats.
  117. I can’t stand that.
  118. No, but you look at that behind.
  119. I wish they would flip those cameras and look behind you.
  120. That is the most amazing site.
  121. When they make a mistake, you get to see it on television, amazing. Amazing.
  122. All of the way back and don’t worry.
  123. We will not take the name off the Washington Monument.
  124. We will not.
  125. Cancel culture.
  126. They wanted to get rid of the Jefferson Memorial, either take it down or just put somebody else in there.
  127. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
  128. It damn well better not, even though with this administration if this happens, it could happen.
  129. You will see some really bad things happen.
  130. They will knock out Lincoln, too, by the way.
  131. They have been taking his statute down, but then we signed a little law, you hurt our monuments, you hurt our heroes, you go to jail for 10 years, and everything stopped.
  132. You notice that it stopped?
  133. It all stopped, and they could use Rudy back in New York City, Rudy.
  134. They could use you.
  135. Your city is going to hell.
  136. They want Rudy Giuliani back in New York.
  137. We will get a little younger version of Rudy.
  138. Is that okay, Rudy?
  139. We’re gathered together in the heart of our nation’s capital for one very, very basic and simple reason, to save our democracy.
  140. You know most candidates on election evening, and of course, this thing goes on so long they still don’t have any idea what the votes are.
  141. We still have congressional seats under review.
  142. They have no idea.
  143. They have totally lost control;
  144. they have used the pandemic as a way of defrauding the people in a proper election,
  145. but you know, you know when you see this and when you see what is happening, number one they all say, sir, we will never let it happen again. I said that’s good, but what about eight weeks ago?
  146. You know they try and get you to go, they say, sir, in four years you are guaranteed.
  147. I said, I’m not interested right now.
  148. Do me a favor. Go back eight weeks.
  149. I want to go back eight weeks.
  150. Let’s go back eight weeks.
  151. We want to go back, and we want to get this right, because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there, and our country will be destroyed. And we’re not going to stand for that.
  152. For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans.
  153. And that’s what they are.
  154. There’s so many weak Republicans.
  155. And we have great ones.
  156. Jim Jordan and some of these guys, they are out there fighting.
  157. The House guys are fighting, but it’s — it’s incredible.
  158. Many of the Republicans, I helped them get in.
  159. I helped them get elected.
  160. I helped Mitch get elected. I helped —
  161. I could name 24 of them, let’s say. I won’t bore you with it.
  162. And then all of a sudden, you have something like this.
  163. There is like oh, gee, maybe I’ll talk to the president sometime later.
  164. No, it’s amazing.
  165. The weak Republicans.
  166. They’re pathetic Republicans, and that’s what happens.
  167. If this happened to the Democrats, there’d be hell all over the country going on.
  168. There’d be hell all over the country. 
  169. But just remember this, you’re stronger, you’re smarter.
  170. You’ve got more going than anybody, and they try and demean everybody having to do with us, and you’re the real people.
  171. You’re the people that built this nation.
  172. You’re not the people that tore down our nation.
  173. The weak Republicans — and that’s it, I really believe it.
  174. I think I’m going to use the term.
  175. The weak Republicans.
  176. You’ve got a lot of them and you’ve got a lot of great ones.
  177. But you’ve got a lot of weak ones.
  178. They’ve turned a blind eye.
  179. Even as Democrats enacted policies that
  180. shipped away our jobs,
  181. weakened our military,
  182. threw open our borders,
  183. and put America last.
  184. Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said I want to get rid of the America-first policy.
  185.  What’s that all about?
  186. Get rid of — how do you say I want to get rid of America first?
  187. Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right?
  188. Unbelievable, what we have to go through.
  189. What we have to go through — and you have to get your people to fight.
  190. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. We primary them.
  191. We’re going to — we’re going to let you know who they are.
  192. I can already tell you, frankly.
  193. But this year, using the pretext of the China virus and the scam of mail-in ballots, Democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election theft.
  194. And there’s never been anything like this.
  195. It’s a pure theft in American history.
  196. Everybody knows it.
  197. That election, our election was over at 10 in the evening.
  198. We’re leading Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia.
  199. By hundreds of thousands of votes, and then late in the evening or early in the morning, boom. 
  200. These explosions of bullshit, and all of the sudden —all of a sudden, it started to happen.
  201. Don’t forget, when Romney got beat — Romney. Did you see his —
  202. I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in last night.
  203. But when Romney got beat, you know, he stands up like your more typical — well, I’d like to congratulate the victor.
  204. The victor.
  205. Who was the victor, Mitt?
  206. I’d like to congratulate.
  207. They don’t go in and look at the facts.
  208. Oh, I don’t know. You’ve got — he got slaughtered, probably.
  209. Maybe it was okay, maybe it was — that’s what happened.

Nancy and Chuck, stop the impeachment insane waste of our time and money and energy. You have no case. You are trying to manufacture a case when there isn’t one. Get on with the inauguration. Focus Nancy. Be a stateswoman. Focus Chuck. Be a statesman. Make sure there is enough security and get Joe and Kamala sworn in a few days from now.

WERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF VOTES STOLEN FROM POTUS TRUMP? Do Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani have evidence that will overturn the election and thwart Joe Biden? BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

  1. BARREL, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani just stepped forward and in a national press conference made their case to the American people claiming hundreds of affidavits document fraud including fraudulent insertion of thousands of votes the night of November 3rd.
  2. Yes, take a look at the following. The FEC Chairman agrees.
  3. FEC Chairman: If Sidney Powell Says There Was Rampant Voter Fraud, ‘I Believe Her’

    Tags: FEC Chairman, Sidney Powell, The Epoch Times, TOM OZIMEK, voter fraud
  8. BY TOM OZIMEK
  9. Trey Trainor, head of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), said in a tweet Tuesday that he believes Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell’s claim of widespread election fraud.
  10. Powell, a former federal prosecutor, recently claimed the president’s legal team has been receiving a deluge of evidence concerning voter fraud and other irregularities, telling Fox Business that she has enough proof to launch a widespread criminal investigation and that, “we’re getting ready to overturn election results in multiple states.”
  11. While she declined to detail what evidence she may have in her possession, she insisted, “I don’t make comments without having the evidence to back it up.”
  12. Trainor, in his tweet, called Powell “forthright and honest in every case she’s ever taken on,” adding that, “if she says there is rampant voter fraud in #Election2020, I believe her.”
  13. Meanwhile, Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski told “The Water Cooler” podcast that he, too, believes Powell’s claim of having evidence of systemic election fraud.
  14. Lewandowski, speaking to podcast host David Brody, called Powell a “dogged professional attorney” and said that “if she says she has that evidence, I have no reason to doubt her at all.”
  15. “It’s going to be time to start to present that evidence and present it to a court of law,” he added.
  16. Powell’s claim centers on the notion that elections software switched “millions of votes” from President Donald Trump to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
  17. She said a whistleblower has come forward alleging that the voting software was designed to “rig elections.”
  18. “He saw it happen in other countries,” she said, apparently referring to election hardware and software by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, or perhaps other software and machines.
  19. “They can stick a thumb drive in the [voting] machine, they can upload software to it even from the Internet … from Germany or Venezuela even,” Powell said, adding that operations “can watch votes in real-time” and “can shift votes in real-time,” or alleged bad actors can “remote access anything.”
  20. “We’ve identified mathematically the exact algorithm they’ve used—and planned to use from the beginning” that allegedly switched votes to Biden, Powell said.
  21. Dominion Voting Systems has denied several times to media outlets that its software and devices are not secure or that they were used to switch votes.
  22. “Dominion Voting Systems categorically denies false assertions about vote switching issues with our voting systems,” the company said in a statement. “Vote deletion/switching assertions are completely false.”
  23. “No credible reports or evidence of any software issues exist,” the company stated, adding, “Human errors related to reporting tabulated results have arisen in a few counties, including some using Dominion equipment, but appropriate procedural actions were made by the county to address these errors were made prior to the canvass process.”
  24. A national coalition that includes the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Association of State Election Directors said there is a lack of evidence supporting the claim that voting software deleted or switched votes in the election.
  25. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” a joint statement from the coalition said, and called the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.”
  26. Dominion Voting Systems is a member of CISA’s Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, one of two entities that authored the statement put out by CISA.
  27. Trainor, in earlier remarks to Newsmax, said he believes locations where poll watchers were not allowed “meaningful access” to observe vote tabulation could be involved in voter fraud.
  28. “I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these places,” Trainor told the outlet. “Otherwise they would allow the observers to go in.”
  29. The official referred to a case in Pennsylvania, where a court ordered them to allow the Trump campaign to have poll observers watch from six feet away, but the order was defied.
  30. “They have not been allowed that meaningful access,” Trainor said, adding that if the law was broken in this regard, the election was “illegitimate.”

So is Biden the president elect? No. The media has no authority to declare who is president elect. And if the massive election fraud allegations are proven by Sidney Powell and POTUS TRUMP’s legal team, President Trump will be our president for 4 more years. BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

  1. So, BARREL. Is Joe Biden the president elect?
  2. No, PORK. Joe Biden is not the president elect.
  3. The news media does not declare who is the president elect.
  4. It looks like POTUS TRUMP will be installed in January and will be our president for the next four years notwithstanding premature celebrations and posturing by Joe and the democrats and most of the media.
  5. So, what is going on? How is that possible?
  6. PORK, the highly honored and respected Sidney Katherine Powell, who served as Assistant United States Attorney for 10 years and who now has her own law firm and who represents General Flynn and POTUS TRUMP just stated on national television to Maria Bartiromo that there was massive pre-meditated criminal election fraud manipulating the votes so Biden and other democrats won the election.
  7. Can Sidney Katherine Powell prove it?
  8. She said she never makes empty statements that she can’t back up with evidence. She said she has in her possession the rock solid evidentiary proof that overturns the election completely and acknowledges that POTUS TRUMP won the election by a millions of vote landslide, evidence that also shows that other Republican candidates have also been defrauded in this and other elections.
  9. How so? How is that possible?
  10. Sidney Powell says she has the evidence including affidavits that demonstrate that Donald Trump won the election by millions of votes and that the Dominion and other voting software were used in multiple states including the so called swing states by the democrats and others to fraudulently manipulate the votes so Biden and other democrats won.
  11. Wow. If Sidney really does have the conclusive evidence of massive election fraud, that may be the reason Joe Biden could hunker down in his basement and do no campaigning. Looks like maybe Joe knew from the beginning that the fix was in. I mean, how could you lose. Send out millions of ballots and then adjust the results using the Dominion and other voting software. When will we know more? Was this same software used in 2016 and earlier?
  12. Sidney says more will be disclosed this week. And yes, this same software was used in 2016 and earlier which raises questions about the Clinton Trump race and the Obama Romney race and Senate and House races and others.
  13. Maybe that is why Hillary was so apoplectic when she lost. Maybe she knew that she had the popular vote and the election locked up before the first vote was cast.
  14. I notice that the media is apoplectic over this. There is a massive campaign on with pre-scripted talking points attempting to distract and persuade the nation that Sidney’s allegations couldn’t possibly be true and that such is just more right wing conspiracy theory.
  15. Yes, the democrat hate Trump media is protecting Biden and they have shot off huge media salvos alleging that the Dominion software was infallible and that Biden won.
  16. I notice that in the past prominent democrats sent letters alleging that the Dominion software was corrupt.
  17. Yes. And Texas refused to use the software because the software was questionable.
  18. On the flip side, I notice that the democrats including Adam Schiff earlier all used the exact same language and lock step stated that there were no irregularities in earlier elections which suggests, keying off the idea that what the democrats are stating lock step is indication of what they are actually doing, that they may well have known about Dominion software and that they were manipulating elections to favor democrats for any number of years.
  19. So BARREL, don’t you think we just have a bunch of conspiracy theories here?
  20. Not this time, PORK. Not this time.
  21. Sidney Powell is rock solid honest and credible and her presence alone makes the case that we are witnessing perhaps the greatest corruption scandals of our age.
  22. Even greater than the Biden China, Ukraine, and Russia corruption?
  23. Yes, PORK, even greater. As I said, this time Sidney Powell is making the case.

Question to Trump Pence? If Biden is as corrupt as you say he is, why aren’t you suing to have him disqualified?

BARREL, if Biden is as corrupt as Trump Pence says he is, even at this late date why aren’t they suing to have him disqualified?

I don’t know the answer to that one, PORK. Seems like a no brainer if they have the evidence.

  1. So, BARREL. Is Joe Biden the president elect?
  2. No, PORK. Joe Biden is not the president elect.
  3. The news media does not declare who is the president elect.
  4. It looks like POTUS TRUMP will be installed in January and will be our president for the next four years notwithstanding premature celebrations and posturing by Joe and the democrats and most of the media.

  14. I notice that the media is apoplectic over this. There is a massive campaign on with pre-scripted talking points attempting to distract and persuade the nation that Sidney’s allegations couldn’t possibly be true and that such is just more right wing conspiracy theory.
  15. Yes, the democrat hate Trump media is protecting Biden and they have shot off huge media salvos alleging that the Dominion software was infallible and that Biden won.
  16. I notice that in the past prominent democrats sent letters alleging that the Dominion software was corrupt.
  17. Yes. And Texas refused to use the software because the software was questionable.
  18. On the flip side, I notice that the democrats including Adam Schiff earlier all used the exact same language and lock step stated that there were no irregularities in earlier elections which suggests, keying off the idea that what the democrats are stating lock step is indication of what they are actually doing, that they may well have known about Dominion software and that they were manipulating elections to favor democrats for any number of years.
  19. So BARREL, don’t you think we just have a bunch of conspiracy theories here?
  20. Not this time, PORK. Not this time.
  21. Sidney Powell is rock solid honest and credible and her presence alone makes the case that we are witnessing perhaps the greatest corruption scandals of our age.
  22. Even greater than the Biden China, Ukraine, and Russia corruption?
  23. Yes, PORK, even greater. As I said, this time Sidney Powell is making the case.

Question for Joe Biden? During the debates did you even name 3 things you have done to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS? Not! BARREL & PORK. We report and opine. You decide.

BARREL, I have a question for debater Joe Biden?

What is it, PORK?

Joe, during the debates, did you even name 3 things you have done to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS?

And the answer, PORK?

NOT!

At the same time, POTUS TRUMP has done a masterful job of coping with COVID and has kept 300 plus campaign promises all focused on helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. No contest.

BARREL & PORK. (c) 2020. We report and opine. You decide.

DID HUNTER BIDEN STICK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER JOE BIDEN BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP WITH THE TECH GUY? LOOKS LIKE IT. THIS WASN’T AN ACCIDENT ON THE PART OF HUNTER. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

1.      BARREL, did Joe Biden lie to America and has he stolen money and is his family The Biden Crime Family and should Joe withdraw in disgrace? BARREL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER BIDEN STUCK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER SIMPLY BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP AT THE TECH SHOP. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. HUNTER, REGARDLESS OF HIS USE OF CRACK OR ALCOHOL, IS WAY TOO SMART LIKE A FOX.

2. Yes, PORK. Listen to Rudy Giuliani’s recent Common Sense podcast. See https://rudygiulianics.com/ of which following is a transcript.

2.     “Welcome to Rudy Giuliani’s Common Sense. This is another episode and this is a very important one. 

3.      “We’re going to summarize the state of the evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

4.      “It’s really mounted up since the disclosures of the emails and texts and photographs of Hunter Biden and now things that were proven by witnesses, documents, and video tapes, that were ignored and lied about by the press, are now proven by Hunter Biden’s own words.

5.      “Let me assure you that this is his hard drive.

6.      “It was given to my lawyer by the gentleman who had repaired it.

7.      “It had been left behind by, he says, a drunken Hunter Biden who came in and had a very hard time even signing and did describe what he wanted.

8.      “He came back one time to supply a keyboard and then after it was repaired he never returned even though there was substantial notices to return.

9.      “After a while when the gentleman heard things on the news suggesting that the Bidens may or may not have been involved in criminal activity he became very concerned that possibly he was holding some kind of illegal material.

10.   “So it was now his property according to the contract signed by Hunter Biden which we have right here.

11.   “The property was abandoned and property that is abandoned under the law becomes the property of the person that is in possession of it.

12.   “So he had every right to listen to what was there and look at what was there and he was shocked .

13.   “What he saw he said was clear evidence of a crime, clear evidence that the Bidens were lying over and over again .

14.   “And then on the photographs clear evidence of criminal activity and some activity I would have a hard time describing and really should be left to more private discussion.

15.   “In short, what these photographs display is a Hunter Biden who is a very serious I would say degenerate crack addict.

16.   “What that means is he doesn’t get rehabilitated.

17.   “When he goes into rehabilitation there is even picture of him going out at night smoking crack.

18.   “So what it looks like is all during the period of time when he was taking millions and millions and millions of dollars there would be pictures of him sitting in a closet smoking dope or engaged in sex while smoking crack with the woman, sometimes on his own.  

19.   “It proves without any doubt that none of this money was intended for Hunter Biden because nobody would pay this guy ten dollars.

20.   “You couldn’t be sure if you gave him ten dollars to go get a bottle of milk for you that he’d come back.

21.   “So there’s no way that some of the biggest criminals in the world are going to be paying him $10,000,000 to $14,000,000 or $30,000,000 or investing in a $1,500,000,000 (one point five billion dollar) completely ridiculous private equity fund.

22.   “So what commodity did Hunter have to sell?

23.   “That’s pretty easy isn’t it?

24.   “The Vice Presidency of the United States.

25.   “Which … his uncle and Joes younger brother had been doing for the prior twenty years.

26.   “And that’s why this is a crime family.

27.   “I know their name is not Italian.

28.   “But you know, this RICO statute applies to political corruption. It applies to white collar crime.

29.   “I am the first one to really use it to effectively bring down the Mafia, the Mafia drug dealers, the Teamsters Union, the Fulton Fish Market, the private carding industry, and then Wall Street, and then after that United States Congressmen, and a substantial number of New York City officials, New York State officials, Republican and Democrat, probably that’s what got me elected mayor.

30.   “Didn’t do it for that reason but that’s what made me well known in New York and taught me what was wrong with New York.

31.   “So I know this statute backwards and forwards and this is a perfect case for it because this Biden Family was engaging in the business of crime.

32.   “And their commodity? Joe’s public office.

33.   “And Joe, you will see, shared in the proceeds which is clearly admitted by his co-conspirators.

34.   “So let me outline it for you so that you will be able to follow all of this.

35.   “And there will be more than what I am just saying but I am taking four that will get the most prominence.  

36.   “Now we’re going to focus on when he was Vice President of the United States because that’s where the big money was made.

37.   “Before he was Vice President of the United States he made substantial amounts of money through the lobbying of his brothers, the fact that his son had a no show job with a major bank in Delaware. Joe Biden was the only Democratic Senator that lobbied in favor of banks, against using the bankruptcy laws, because all democrats were in favor of that.

38.   “Theoretically, they like to say they represent poor people.

39.   “Joe was representing the rich bank that was employing his son in a no show job which is how his drug addict son began his career.

40.   “But nobody else would employ him because he’d be out two three days a week.

41.   “You know. Looking for crack.

42.    “It’s a terrible problem.

43.   “And I don’t mean to pick on Hunter for being an addict.

44.   “That’s a terrible affliction.

45.   “As a father, I blame Joe Biden. I say to myself.

46.   “I don’t know if I had a child afflicted by that wouldn’t I take care of them and keep them in rehabilitation.

47.   “Would I expose them to the most crooked man in Ukraine, one of the most crooked people in China, to probably the most crooked woman in Russia?

48.   “Would I do that to a drug addict son? Just because of greed?

49.   “I don’t know. I think this is Joe Biden’s fault.

50.   “But in any event I have outlined four transactions here. [TWO SET FORTH IN THIS POST.]

51.   “And these are the principle players that we can identify from the analysis we have done so far of the texts and the emails and the photographs.

52.   “And I have to say we have analyzed about a quarter of it. For it is very, very extensive.

53.   “So what you have, and I will summarize them really quickly is let’s call this JOE THE POINT MAN.

54.   “Obama was very, very comfortable with that designation POINT MAN.

55.   “So when IRAQ, when we were negotiating to end our role in IRAQ it was really, really critical for the national security interests of the United States that we retain troops there so that we could keep IRAN from basically creating an extension of the Islamic Republic of IRAN empire.

56.   “And Joe Biden was sent to do that.

57.   “Now that was probably a very foolish decision by President Obama because Joe Biden honestly had never succeeded at any negotiation ever.

58.   “Robert Gates, his co-cabinet member in the Obama administration, probably commenting on this and any number of other things including his opposition to killing Bin Laden said that Joe Biden had never been correct on any matter of foreign policy in his entire life.

59.   “That’s a quote from his fellow cabinet member.

60.   “Well, he [Joe] went to IRAQ.

61.   “He was supposed to negotiate this agreement that the IRAQIS would allow ten to twenty thousand American troops to stay behind and have immunity from prosecution so  they couldn’t get caught in the cross fire between the Sunis, the Shias, and the other elements there.

62.   “Of course, he failed.

63.   “But the Biden Crime Family came out of it really good. Really, really good.

64.   “James, his brother, who had no experience in housing was all of a sudden miraculously made part of a one point five billion dollar ($1,500,000,000), seems like a convenient number for them, one point five billion dollar housing deal in IRAQ.

65.   “And like Hunter, James had no experience – in building houses.

66.   “He [James] was a sleezy lobbyest on K street.

67.   “And I say sleezy advisedly because it was all over the newspapers if you care to ask and every time it would come up Joe would say I don’t know my family’s business.

68.   “After a while, that becomes kind of an incredible answer, doesn’t it.

69.   “[THE IRAQ DEAL] Then of course we have the Russian situation, that’s the IRAQ situation [pointing to descriptive diagram], the money goes to his brother and as you will see about half that money will end up in the pocket of Joe Biden.

70.   “As well, James will be responsible for some of the Biden family expenses.

71.   “‘Cause Joe didn’t pay for much. [Ad]

72.   “Thank you for returning to the discussion of the Biden Crime Family.

73.   “[THE RUSSIAN DEAL] The second one we have is Russia. Russia is a little cloudy. Don’t know it as well. We’re just digging it out but it is quite clear that Hunter Biden received $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, the former mayor of Moscow, since deceased. Catarina Batarina.

74.   “Catarina is quite a character.

75.   “I mean she’s now considered the wealthiest woman in Russia.

76.   “Probably the most dangerous woman in Russia.

77.   “She more or less double crossed her husband to get him out of office and placate Putin.

78.   “Putin might have actually had a good reason to get rid of her husband.

79.   “Because her husband whom I knew because he was the mayor of Moscow when I was mayor of New York.

80.   “Her husband was really an out of control crook.

81.   “He was taking money from Putin’s friends.

82.   “Not a good idea.

83.   “So they got him out and she became even closer to Putin as a result of that.

84.   “So when you think of that $3.5 million dollars, I want you to remember that it is coming from one of Putin’s allies.

85.   “Remember, Russian collusion that the democrats charged the president with.

86.   “There was no Russian collusion.

87.   “We now know from the Brennan notes that Hillary made that up.

88.   “But even more galling than that no Republican got any money from Russia.

89.   “These characters got $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from Putin’s best friend.

90.   “And the press doesn’t care.

91.   “The press doesn’t care.

92.   “Actually, it’s a little bit more than $3.5 million.

93.   “It’s closer to $3.8 because there were two laundered payments that I think can be easily proven.

94.   “And we still don’t know why.

95.   “Because Biden lied about it during the debate when he said there was no such transaction.

96.   “I don’t know that if Joe just thinks he can say this and because the press is like sickeningly on his side, as the moderator was.

97.   “Nobody is going to really pay attention to the documents that show the money.

98.   “But we got ‘em Joe.

99.   “Anybody interested in truth and fairness is going to want to see them.

100.          “So now let’s get to Ukraine [IN THE NEXT POST] which we have heard a lot about.

WHY POTUS TRUMP’S POLL NUMBERS ARE 80% TO 95%? BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!


WHAT DO YOU THINK POTUS TRUMP’S POLL NUMBERS ARE, BARREL?


PORK, THEY ARE ACTUALLY THROUGH THE ROOF POSITIVE IN THE 80% TO 95% RANGE, PORK.


HOW DO YOU FIGURE, BARREL?


PORK, POTUS TRUMP GETS THE MOST MEDIA COVERAGE WORTH BILLIONS OF ADVERTISING DOLLARS, BUT I’VE HIT ON SOMETHING ELSE.


WHAT IS THAT BARREL?


IT IS THE FOLLOWING SET OF DETAILS ABOUT SLEEPY JOE ANY ONE OF WHICH IS FATAL TO JOE’S CAMPAIGN. THESE DETAILS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR JOE TO WIN. 

  1. Joe is unethical having misused his office in Ukraine by forcing Ukraine to fire a prosecutor and having admitted same on international camera. Someone needs to file an ethics complaint and take away his bar license. That alone disqualifies him.
  2. He is unethical having misused his office to enrich his son via Ukraine to the tune of as much as a million dollars . Someone needs to file an ethics complaint and take away his bar license. That alone disqualifies him.
  3. He is unethical having misused his office to enrich his son in China to the tune of a billion dollars. Where did the billion dollars go? Has Lindsay Graham or anyone else checked? Again, someone needs to file an ethics complaint and take away his bar license. That alone disqualifies him.
  4. He is unethical having misused his office to enrich himself, his brother and other family. How did this career politician become so wealthy? Has anyone checked? Someone needs to file an ethics complaint and take away his bar license. That alone disqualifies him.
  5. He is more often than not asleep in his basement and is senile most of the time by most any observation and calculation. That alone disqualifies him.
  6. He can’t put ten sentences together without a script and he will never debate POTUS TRUMP successfully. That alone disqualifies him.
  7. He is saddled with believable Tara Reade and other believable women who testify he abused them. Does anyone think he can sidestep Tara? I think not. Someone needs to file an ethics complaint and take away his bar license. That alone disqualifies him.
  8. He is a on camera multiple times sniffing children and women and being handsy. That alone disqualifies him.
  9. He is complicit to the Democrat Russia hoax on the nation and a sitting president. That clearly disqualifies him.
  10. He is complicit to the Democrat contrived impeachment fake news debacle that cost millions of tax payer money and our precious time and energy. That disqualifies him.
  11. He is responsible for all of Obama’s failed negative policies including failure to build any significant infrastructure which is to say that Biden/Obama failed to help us be free, safe, and prosperous. That alone disqualifies him.
  12. According to Glenn Beck he is involved in a money laundering scheme to fund a secret proxy war against Russia of frightening proportions which if true puts a stake in Joe’s political career. That clearly disqualifies him.
  13. He is gaffe prone which tells us he is not someone we want working with Russia or China or North Korea or for that matter any of our allies or enemies. That clearly disqualifies him.
  14. He is a career over the hill politician who has had little or no experience running anything. For sure that disqualifies him.
  15. THE SHEER AMOUNT OF MEDIA COVERAGE OF POTUS TRUMP PLUS THE FLAWED CANDIDATE JOE MEANS POTUS TRUMP’S NUMBERS ARE 80% TO 95% POSITIVE DESPITE WHAT THE POLLING COMPANIES SAY AT THE MOMENT.

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU. YOU ARE RIGHT, BARREL.

61. REGARDING the 2020 ELECTION, OBAMABIDENFAKENEWSMEDIA GATE is the accusation that OBAMA knew and BIDEN knew and much of the media knew and sanctioned and purveyed and jointly carried out the unconscionable and illegal lying frame up of General Flynn and others and the framing of POTUS TRUMP and with the intent of harming and marginalizing and removing POTUS TRUMP from the national political equation.

POLITICO AND JOHN HARRIS DON’T GET IT. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.


    1. PORK, Politico founding editor John F. Harris doesn’t get it. In fact, he is glaringly wrong.

    2. Get what, BARREL? How is he wrong?

    3. PORK, John Harris is like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Joe Biden, and many other democrats and some republicans and many of the media owners and pundits who likewise don’t get it.

    4. How so, BARREL?

    5. John argues that Coronavirus COVID-19 marks the “end of Trumpism” and in doing so, John demonstrates his lack of understanding of human nature.

    6. Contrary to John’s myopic smoke and mirrors analysis, Trumpism is not the idea of promoting and protecting American sovereignty and singularity exclusively.

    7. Trumpism is not about sealing our borders and isolationism.

    8. Trumpism is not about disassociating America from the interconnected global economy but rather doing deals that make sense for America.

    9. Trumpism is not about beating up on China or Russia but rather doing deals that make sense for America.

    10. Trumpism is not about boasting and bluster, or about triumphalism, or about projecting certitude at all costs, but rather it is against fighting back against fake news and fake politicians and fake business deals and fake bureaucrats and fake laws.

    11. Trumpism is not about creating reality by proclamation but rather being positive and faith filled instead of tearing down the nation.

    12. Trumpism is not about failing to acknowledge imprecision but rather dealing with imprecision by using the best expertise available.

    13. Trumpism is not about mockery and castigation of opponents which fails to unite the nation but rather Trumpism is mockery and castigation of opponents who don’t get it – opponents who think it not a criminal felony to bleach bit their emails, hammer their blackberries, lie about and blame Benghazi on a video, take multi-millions in bribes and payoffs from countries and individuals into a personal foundation in return for influence, take up precious government house and senate time with garbage investigations and impeachment hearings, use political office to get a billion from China or launder a billion thru Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, or enrich multi-family members and cronies. 

    14. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/03/19/politico-founding-editor-the-coronavirus-pandemic-is-the-end-of-trumpism/

    15. OK, BARREL, you have told me what Trumpism is not. You have told me that John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get it. What is it?

    16. Trumpism is about helping us Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS while not selling out one’s integrity and dishonoring one’s office.

    17. That is why Coronavirus COVID-19 has no bearing whatsoever on Trumpism.

    18. That is why POTUS TRUMP will be re-elected.

    19. That is why POTUS TRUMP will go down in history as one of the great presidents of all time.

    20. Why? Because his focus has not been on enriching himself. Because his focus has been on keeping his more than 300 promises to help us and our children and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

    21. That is why POTUS TRUMP’s real approval rating is 80% to 95%.

    22. We told Chuck and Nancy long ago the secret to winning elections but they wouldn’t listen and so they squandered their opportunity by wasting years of our time and millions of our money. And that secret we told them is simply to pull all stops and focus and work together across the aisle to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as opposed to spending $30 – $100 million plus in wasteful, foolish impeachment hearings and special counsel investigations.

    23. What John and Chuck and Nancy and Adam and Jerry and Joe don’t get is the fact that we care for POTUS TRUMP because he is helping us more often than not forgotten Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, because he is working as well to help others outside America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 

    24. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is why we care deeply for him and support him with money and votes.

    25. Should POTUS TRUMP turn on us and stop helping us and others be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we would move away from him in a heartbeat. That, my friend PORK, is how the cow eats the cabbage.

    26. And last but not least, as is the case of a natural disaster, there is no way we blame him for Coronavirus COVID-19 or the stock market drop. 

    27. Trumpism has become synonymous with POTUS TRUMP’S indefatigable efforts to help us be Constitutionally FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS first and with POTUS TRUMP’S helping other people and nations be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as well.

    28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.

    29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.

    24. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is why we care deeply for him and support him with money and votes.

    25. Should POTUS TRUMP turn on us and stop helping us and others be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, we would move away from him in a heartbeat. That, my friend PORK, is how the cow eats the cabbage.

    26. And last but not least, as is the case of a natural disaster, there is no way we blame him for Coronavirus COVID-19 or the stock market drop. 

    27. Trumpism has become synonymous with POTUS TRUMP’S indefatigable efforts to help us be Constitutionally FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS first and with POTUS TRUMP’S helping other people and nations be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS as well.

    28. That is why his rallies are filled to overflowing. That is why he will be re-elected.

    29. You are preaching to the choir, BARREL. You are preaching to the choir.


    WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

    Posted on

    Is there an overwhelming number of angry PRO-TRUMP democrat, republican, and independent voters out there? Yes. That and his immense media presence are two reasons why POTUS TRUMP’S true polling numbers are 80% to 95% not 46% as touted by polling companies. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

    PORK, I understand there are an overwhelming number of angry PRO-TRUMP democrat and republican and independent voters out there.


    Yes, BARREL. those angry PRO-TRUMP voters, republicans and democrats and independents, know that POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused to an intolerable level by the democrats – Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer and others including some republicans.


    In greater detail, BARREL,

    1.       Angry voters find Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi and their impeachment activities at best Boring.

    2.       Angry voters find them Repetitive and Tedious.

    3.       Angry voters find – Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi – to be amateurs — anything but professional.

    4.       Angry voters are overwhelmingly tired of this one-sided democrat partisan hit job on POTUS TRUMP and his family.

    5.       Angry voters hold the democrats accountable for spending $40 million plus for worthless investigations and hearings and for wasting the money, time, and energy of the congress and the voters – which money, time, and energy could have been used to improve the infrastructure and build the southern border wall and carry out other measures helpful to our FREEDOM, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.

    6.       Angry voters want to be happy and they know the democrats are responsible for making them and the country unhappy.

    7.       Angry voters know life is going on tomorrow.

    8.       Angry voters know the sun is going to come up.

    9.       Angry voters know they are going to take care of what’s important in their lives.

    10.   Angry voters knew the impeachment outcome was not in doubt but these thoughts provided little consolation.

    11.   Angry voters know the GOP controls the Senate.

    12.   Angry voters know the story was already written.

    13.   Angry voters have their minds made up and an overwhelming majority are for POTUS TRUMP contrary to the effete democrat narrative. Given the media coverage of POTUS TRUMP, his approval rating is 80-95% not 46% as polls suggest.

    14.   Angry voters know there is no possibility of removal.

    15.   Angry voters know the democrats have wasted their time and  millions of dollars and have trashed the good feelings in the country and at the same time have done nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS TRUMP was elected and that the fix was in to impeach him from before his inauguration.

    16.   Angry voters know the democrats have squandered $40 million plus of the nation’s money in these foolish investigations and hearings.

    17.   Angry voters know the DNC should pay back the country far in excess of $40 million for their impeachment perfidy which has been wrongfully and illegally foisted off on the American people. Keep in mind the videos of Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler and other cronies taking just the other tack when the shoe was on the other foot.

    18.   Angry voters know the democrats have no facts against POTUS TRUMP and that the republican factual arguments have blown the Schiff Nadler democrat emotional arguments out of the water.

    19.   Angry voters knew the trial would end in acquittal.

    20.   Angry voters knew that the democrats conducted an illegal partisan impeachment.

    21.   Angry voters fell asleep during the democrat Schiff Nadler droning arguments and they knew full well that there was no need for added witnesses to prolong the partisan charade.

    22.   Angry voters know that it is a blatant lie that Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi competently and legally conducted themselves during House impeachment hearings or the Senate trial. They know that Schiff Nadler Pelosi Schumer have done nothing for their constituencies or the nation in general to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS was elected.

    23.   Angry voters know the media is skewed dramatically against POTUS Trump.

    24.   Angry voters know Joe Biden and his son and family are corrupt and that Joe and his family wrongfully and illegally took vast sums of money and that Joe failed miserably in his duties as Vice President and cannot show at all during his years as a professional politician where he helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

    25.   Angry voters know Joe Biden was complicit in all of the ill done by POTUS OBAMA and that “the Obama administration” is a euphemism and that POTUS Obama and Joe were responsible for all the negative produced during the Obama years.

    26.   https://www.breitbart.com/news/in-divided-america-some-voters-tuning-out-impeachment-trial/

    27.   Angry voters yelled at Adam Schiff (D-CA), telling him to “move to Venezuela.”

    28.   Angry voters know Adam Schiff is a liar having lied repeatedly – making up lies about POTUS Trump – lying to the Congress and the American people.

    29.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not abuse his power and was well within his rights to ask for an investigation of the corrupt Bidens and the many other politicians who have had their hands in the Ukrainian and China and other foreign and domestic tills stealing money for their personal and their campaign use. Angry voters know that the Sweizer book Profiles in Corruption and Rudy Giuliani disclosures about Biden and other corruption are but the tip of the iceberg.

    30.   Angry voters are highly incensed that those in high places who have enriched themselves at the expense of the voters have not been indicted and shamed and where law was violated jailed for their perfidy. Angry voters are still waiting for AG BILL BARR to stand up and be counted and indict those who have enriched themselves wrongfully at the nation’s expense.

    31.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not withhold aid from Ukraine unless the investigation of the Bidens and others took place.

    32.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not obstruct Congress by blocking documents and witnesses unlawfully. They know the minority was denied due process including the legal right to litigate differences of opinion; while at the same time the democrat majority rushed to impeach before Christmas.

    33.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been denied due process by Schiff Nadler Pelosi throughout the House impeachment activities.

    34.   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/26/impeachment-protester-yells-adam-schiff-move-venezuela/

    35.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor and that Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have fallen abjectly short of the standard needed to convict POTUS TRUMP let alone remove POTUS TRUMP from office.

    36.   Angry voters know that the republican minority has the facts while all Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have is conjecture, generalities, suppositions, thus no impeachable offenses.

    37.   Angry voters know there has not been a constitutionally authorized bi-partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.

    38.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has done nothing of a criminal nature.

    39.   Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove abuse of power.

    40.   Angry voters know the democrats cannot prove obstruction of congress no matter how over the top maudlin Adam Schiff is during his arguments.

    41.   Angry voters know the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are precisely the arguments the framers of the Constitution rejected because partisan impeachments let the majority exercise tyranny over the minority.

    42.   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/26/dershowitz-house-managers-case-falls-short-of-impeachment-standard-even-if-true/

    43.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has shown restraint, deliberateness, and ability to make tough decisions and that POTUS TRUMP has saved the world millions of deaths in the matters of North Korea and Iran and otherwise, while at the same time, despite the coronavirus, giving the nation the best economy and stock market and more jobs for BLACKS, HISPANICS, ASIANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, and WHITES than in the history of our country.

    44.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP made the right call to kill Iranian Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani and that POTUS TRUMP’S decisive approach prevented a major war with Iran.

    45.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP consults with his cabinet, asks for intelligence, takes the opinion of his leadership, takes a calculated and measured response.

    46.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is methodical and calm and asks lots of questions and gets updates before he jumps to conclusions.

    47.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is properly advised and that there is a process to present POTUS TRUMP with options and the risks and ladder of escalation associated with each situation.

    48.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is highly involved in the process when it comes to decisions that involve potential loss of American lives and even the loss of lives of adversaries.

    49.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP likes differing points of view, wants debate, wants to understand the debate.

    50.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP relies on intelligence and relied on intelligence that Soleimani was planning a major attack.

    51.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has kept more than 300 campaign promises than any previous POTUS while the democrats have kept but one which was to impeach POTUS TRUMP.

    52.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is not like Joe Biden at all. Joe has enriched himself and his family in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere, while making decisions contrary to the good of the country. POTUS TRUMP has done more to help America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than Joe and the democrats hoped of doing.

    53.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP was not erratic in responding to Iran.

    54.   Angry voters know Soleimani was taken out because Iran conducted a series of provocative actions against the U.S. and its allies including 11 rocket attacks on installations in Iraq where U.S. forces were present, including attack on oil plants in Saudi Arabia that took out half of the oil output, including seizure of a United Kingdom ship, including attacks on Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers, and shooting down a U.S. drone.

    55.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP chose economic sanctions and that POTUS TRUMP’s patience ran out after Iranian-backed forces targeted and killed an American contractor and wounded four American service members.

    56.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been patient and that unlike Benghazi Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has consistently told the truth.

    57.   Angry voters know that when an Iranian Shia militia rocket attack killed the American contractor and wounded U.S. troops in Iraq, POTUS TRUMP was presented a list of options, and only then did POTUS TRUMP authorize airstrikes against Shia militia targets, including weapons storage facilities and command posts used to attack U.S. and coalition forces.

    58.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP said “Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”

    59.   Angry voters know that criticism from the left which has been swift and loud was unfounded, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) criticism of POTUS TRUMP was “reckless,” and “impulsive,” with no planning or forethought, and that her response was in fact fiction.

    60.   Angry voters know that the democrats are politically motivated and that they do not care for us the voters and that the democrat criticisms of POTUS TRUMP are not true or patriotic, keeping in mind that the Iran counterattacks resulted in structural damage, but did not kill any Americans or Iraquis.

    61.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP called for Iran to return to the negotiating table regarding its illicit nuclear program.

    62.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is a statesman while Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and Schumer are politically effete, having done nothing for their constituencies and nothing for the country, and that the four should be voted and drummed out of congress for their waste of $40 million dollars on the failed Mueller Report and failed impeachment hearings, including their many  failed, unproven “collusion with the Russians” and “obstruction of justice” wild accusations against POTUS TRUMP.

    63.   Angry voters know former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Obama Adm. (Ret.) Sandy Winnefeld wrote in the Hill: “Whether one agrees with the elimination of General Qassem Soleimani as the correct means of signaling Iran, it was an important statement that a new red line is in effect. … Now Iran (and presumably other self-alienated states) have been served notice that they will be held more directly accountable for the actions of their proxies, particularly when those actions result in the death of an American.”

    64.   Angry voters know Obama National Security Adviser Marine Gen. (Ret.) Jim Jones said at a recent forum, “What the administration did in the Soeimani case is absolutely correct. I think it’s the right thing to do.”

    65.   Angry voters know Reuel Marc Gerecht, former C.I.A. specialist on Iran at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is right – “[POTUS TRUMP is] not a strategist. But his tactical game hasn’t been bad. The hit on Soleimani was genius – totally flummoxed his opponent,

    66.   Angry voters know that democrat and republican opponents who portray POTUS TRUMP as an erratic decision-maker do not know what they are talking about and that the evidence does not support that conclusion.

    67.   Angry voters know that for eight years POTUS Obama was paralyzed by fear of adverse consequences and therefore did nothing except give the Iranians access to billions of dollars plus a billion plus in cash which the Iranians used to foment terrorism and war.

    68.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is more precise and disciplined that either POTUS OBAMA or POTUS George W. Bush hoped to be.

    69.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP comes from a rough New York real estate business experience where setbacks, challenges, back stabbing, incomplete information, competition demands clear thinking and excellent decision making.

    70.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP goes to the experts to get information and then he makes the hard choice with a high degree of self-confidence and ANGRY VOTERS know that 4 more years of POTUS TRUMP will be of great benefit to the nation.

    71. These same angry voters are going to turn out in the millions and vote for POTUS TRUMP for a second term.

    WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

    Posted on

    FIFTY REASONS WE WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR JOE BIDEN. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

    BARREL, here are FIFTY REASONS I will not be voting for Joe Biden – reasons based on media, Sweizer’s book Profiles in Corruption, and my conclusion that Joe is corrupt, incompetent, and senile. 

    Have at it, PORK. 

    1.      My first conclusion is that Joe is the king of corruption having facilitated his self-enrichment including enriching self and five family members, his son Hunter, his son-in-law Howard, his brother James, his brother Frank, and his Sister Valerie. (See https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/)

    2.      Joe is corrupt because he engineered having his son get a million dollar job from Ukraine company Burisma when Joe and the Oligarch owner of Burisma knew his son had no oil and gas experience. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/10/04/schweizer_bidens_son_cashed_in_on_vp_being_point_man_for_obama_in_ukraine_and_china.html

    3.      Joe is corrupt because he engineered his brother receiving a billion dollar IRAQ construction contract when his brother had no construction experience. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/01/21/peter_schweizer_joe_bidens_brother_secured_iraq_housing_construction_contract_with_no_experience.html

    4.      Joe is corrupt because he engineered his sister receiving X dollars. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407

    5.      Joe is corrupt and Bernie is corrupt because they have cashed in and taken X dollars into his own campaign and other accounts to further their power grabs and enrich themselves. https://nypost.com/2020/01/18/how-five-members-of-joe-bidens-family-got-rich-through-his-connections/); https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/bernie-sanders-joe-biden-enriched-their-families/607159/; https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/bernie-sanders-joe-biden-enriched-their-families/607159/; All one need do is take a hard look at How Joe Biden Went from Middle-Class Joe career politician with net worth of less than $30,000 in 2009 to a Millionaire many times over. Only one illustration, take a hard look at how Joe got $540,000 as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, coupled with lucrative book deals. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/a31265187/joe-biden-net-worth/

    6.      Joe is corrupt because he facilitated his son getting a billion dollars plus from China for his incompetent son’s and John Kerry’s son’s start-up hedge fund because of which Joe is incapable of controlling China’s economic or COVID-19 or any other China U.S. relationship. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/biden-s-trip-china-son-hunter-2013-comes-under-new-n1061051;

    7.      Joe is corrupt because he withheld a billion dollars from Ukraine quid pro quo until Ukraine fired the prosecutor looking into Ukraine company Burisma where his son was a board member and then on camera Joe bragged and laughed about it. https://consortiumnews.com/2019/09/21/if-the-facts-come-out-it-could-spell-the-end-for-joe-biden/; https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

    8.      Joe is corrupt because according to Glenn Beck Joe helped launder a billion U.S. dollars thru a Ukraine Oligarch and Ukraine and other banks to fund a proxy war with Russia. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/437719-ukrainian-to-us-prosecutors-why-dont-you-want-our-evidence-on-democrats; https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-legal-biden-family-corruption-democrats-refuse-to-acknowledge/

    9.      Joe is corrupt because just before he and Obama left office he rushed to give $150 billion dollars –  much in cash – to Iran knowing Iran would use the money to stoke terrorism and war against us, our allies, and our troops. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/12/17/giuliani_my_ukraine_investigation_will_show_substantial_amount_of_corruption_that_took_place_under_obama.html; https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/477666-obama-should-apologize-for-shameful-cash-payment-to-iran; https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/apr/27/donald-trump/donald-trump-iran-150-billion-and-18-billion-c/

    10.   Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned Hillary Clinton’s bleach bitting her emails and hammering her blackberries and illegally using a private server and taking millions pay to play into the Clinton Foundation and personal accounts for her personal use as well her “fake video” lies about Benghazi to help Obama at Romney’s expense.

    11.   Joe is corrupt because while he was Obama’s VP he knew about and condoned the FISA surveillance of POTUS TRUMP and his campaign.

    12.   Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned and supported Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and Schumer, in their fake partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.

    13.   Joe is corrupt because he knew about and condoned the fake Mueller investigation.

    14.   Joe is corrupt because he supports open borders which would have left us with hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 cases and thousands of deaths.

    15.   Joe is corrupt because he voted for and supports democrat driven abortion which to date since primarily democrat Roe v Wade has caused more than 300,000,000 unborn babies to be killed surgically and chemically since 1973 – 50,000,000+ Black babies, 50,000,000+ Hispanic babies, 200,000,000+ Native American, Asian American, Caucasian babies.

    16.   Joe is corrupt having worked with Obama to facilitate the transfer payment building of other nations all the while destroying American values and the American middle class.

    17.  My second conclusion is that Joe is incompetent.

    18.   He is incompetent because he is a quintessential career politician, part of the gravy train establishment, who has never met a payroll and doesn’t understand how the real world works.

    19.   Joe is incompetent because he cost us multi-millions of dollars in exorbitant health care costs.

    20.   Joe is incompetent because he was and still is responsible for all of Obama’s incompetent policies that were designed to and in fact did curtail our freedom, safety, and prosperity.

    21.   Joe is incompetent as a career politician because he cannot point to one promise he has kept in all his years as a government bureaucrat that helps us be free, safe, or prosperous while POTUS TRUMP has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises all focused on helping us be free, safe, and prosperous.

    22.   My third conclusion is that Joe is senile, showing the weaknesses or diseases of dementia,  of old age, the loss of his mental facilities including decreased memory and mental faculties.

    23.   I believe Joe is senile because he can’t remember the facts.

    24.   Joe is senile because he can’t debate with reason so he has to resort to profanity, calling out the “deplorables” who challenge him for his corruption.

    25.   Joe is described as senior moment Joe. https://nypost.com/2020/03/04/democrats-should-be-wary-of-backing-joe-biden-and-his-senior-moments-devine/

    26.   Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember who others are.

    27.   Joe is senior moment senile because he can’t remember where he is.

    28.   Joe is senile because he can’t remember who he is.

    29.   Joe is senile because he can’t remember what he is.

    30.   Joe is senile because he can’t remember the difference between flu and COVID-19.

    31.   Joe is described in the media as a senile creepy sniffing hands on old man without the stamina to campaign let alone carry out the heavy duties of POTUS – skipping major party events, hiding from the press, holding only a quarter and half as many public events as other candidates..

    32.   Joe is described in the media as a senile political gaffe machine. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-gaffes-quotes-2020-election-1323905

    33.   Or misspeak Joe.

    34.   Or freak-out get angry Joe.

    35.   Or shocking mental lapse cognitive decline Joe.

    36.   My fourth conclusion is that Joe is a calamity waiting to happen.

    37.   Joe is described as physically infirm.

    38.   He suffered a burst blood vessel in his eye.

    39.   His loose dentures are telling.

    40.   Joe underwent brain surgery.

    41.   He experienced multiple brain aneurysms.

    42.   All told, for too long Joe has had his fun in the sun as a Senator and as VP.

    43.   Now it is time to retire old Joe to pasture.

    44.   Joe ran for POTUS and lost in 1988.

    45.   He ran and lost again in 2008.

    46.   His runs for the presidency are described in the media as calamities – losing for “plagiarism” and for saying “he graduated in the top half of his law school, when in fact, he ranked 76th out of 85.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/us/politics/biden-1988-presidential-campaign.html; https://time.com/5636715/biden-1988-presidential-campaign/

    47.   Joe confessed that he can’t handle two terms. In my judgment, Joe can’t handle one.

    48.   Why? Summed up, BARREL,  because Joe admits he wasn’t actually arrested in apartheid South Africa. https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-not-arrested-apartheid-south-africa-campaign-story-2020-2

    49.   The New Republic concludes that Joe is Collapsing.

    50.   In my judgment, Joe has already collapsed and Joe’s electability is a myth with fatal implications for the country. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-myth-of-joe-bidens-electability/ At the same time POTUS TRUMP is working over time to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

    I agree with you PORK.

    5. He has helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 

    6. He and VP Pence have managed COVID-19 matter with dignity. 

    7. He has taken out ISIS and he is bringing home our troops and extricating us from war and cutting off the trillions of dollars poured down the middle east rathole. 

    8. He has generated the best U.S. economy ever despite the stock market correction which has been stoked in largest measure by media and politician driven unwarranted “coronavirus fear.” Keep in mind that with SARS there were no deaths in the U.S. With MERS there were no deaths in the U.S. With COVID-19 there have been only 16 last count. All the while there have been pandemic million infected, short of half million hospitalized, thousands of Influenza deaths – said by CDC to be 14,000 to 46,000 with projections of 60,000 annual deaths.

    9. He has gotten rid of onerous regulations and political correctness. He is championing the right to life of the unborn. 300,000,000+ unborn babies have been unceremoniously killed since democrat Biden Schumer Roe v Wade in 1973 which is 50,000,000+ BLACK BABIES, 50,000,000+ HISPANIC BABIES, 200,000,000+ NATIVE AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN, ASIAN AMERICAN BABIES KILLED.

    10. He has made major progress building the wall and stopping illegal immigration making sure people are vetted who come to America and in the process preventing terrorist activities. 

    11. He has stood up to North Korea and Iran. 

    12. He came out of the Pelosi Schumer impeachment unscathed and stronger.

    13. He is rooting out corruption including Biden’s corrupt billion dollar Quid Pro Quo in Ukraine, and the Biden Obama money laundering to fund a proxy war with Russia according to Glenn Beck, and Biden’s corrupt billion dollar China to his son’s hedge fund connection and Biden’s corrupt billions paid to Iran shortly before Biden left office – money used to fund terrorism and adverse military activities.

    14. Elizabeth would be smart to shift gears and support POTUS TRUMP.

    15. Right, BARREL, 

    16. I am making a joke, though. 

    17. Elizabeth crossing over to endorse POTUS TRUMP is not going to happen. 

    18. Although, I wouldn’t put it past POTUS TRUMP asking her to do so. Like I said, stranger things have happened in politics.

    19. A brokered democrat convention will be interesting if that happens.

    20. In any case, I have a hard time seeing Joe with the nomination. 

    21. He looks like he is shriveled up and going to self-destruct any minute physically despite the fact that his campaign is running photos of him from past years. He hasn’t got the stamina to function as POTUS.

    22. Joe appears to be senile unstable as he self-destructs and gaffes mentally on a regular basis not to mention the sniffing.

    23. Most importantly, whereas POTUS TRUMP was exonerated completely and came out of the Mueller and impeachment debacles bloodied but unscathed politically, Joe cannot handle and survive the truth about his corruption charges.

    300,000,000 reasons to overturn Roe v Wade. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

    300,000,000 reasons never to vote for Joe Biden or for Chuck Schumer who just threatened our Supreme Court Justices with harm. BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

    1. BARREL, I know 300,000,000 reasons never to vote for Joe Biden or for Chuck Schumer who just threatened our Supreme Court Justices with harm.

    2. What are they, PORK?

    3. BARREL, according to the Planned Parenthood online abortion counter and footnote, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since democrat sponsored Roe v. Wade in 1973.

    4. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies.

    5. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies.

    6. 200,000,000+ were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies.

    7. That’s the equivalent in numbers of a holocaust of 6,000,000+ babies killed each year.

    8. Yes, PORK, and Joe and Chuck are responsible for all of them.

    Save the mustangs. Adopt a mustang. Save the unborn. Get rid of Roe v Wade and Adopt a baby. BARREL & PORK. WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

    1. BARREL, what do you think about the Mustangs?

    2. PORK, we ought to save them. We ought to adopt them.

    And while we are at it we ought to save the unborn as well.

    According to the online abortion counter, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since democrat sponsored Roe v. Wade. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies. 200,000,000 were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies. That’s the equivalent in numbers of a holocaust each year.

     So how can we save the unborn, PORK, despite Chuck Schumer threatening Supreme Court Justices with harm? We can get rid of Roe v Wade and adopt instead of kill a baby. That is how.

    3. How about the mustangs, BARREL?

    4. Adopt a Mustang, PORK. Adopt a Mustang from the BLM.

    5.”Mustangs live in the grassland areas of the western United States. The Bureau of Land Management manages the U.S. mustang population and allows the horses run free on 34 million acres of public land. About 271,000 mustangs have been removed from private land by the government since 1971, according to the American Wild Horse Preservation Organization. Most of the mustang populations are found in the Western states of Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, California, Arizona, North Dakota and New Mexico. Some also live on the Atlantic coast and on islands such as the Sable, Shackleford, Assateague and Cumberland Islands.

    “Mustangs live in large herds. The herd consists of one stallion, around eight females and their young, though separate herds have been known to blend when they are in danger. The herd is led by a female horse, or mare, and a stallion that is over 6 years of age. In dangerous situations, the head mare will lead her heard to safety, and the stallion will stay and fight.

    “Herds spend most of their time grazing on grasses, though it is not unusual to see them playing or snuggling together for a nap. Often, when it looks like they are fighting, young mustangs are actually playing a game, much like when human children wrestle.

    “The mustang is not on any endangered list at this time, though there are people petitioning to change that. About 100 years ago, about 2 million mustangs roamed the North American terrain. Now, there are fewer than 25,000 mustangs left in the wild, according to the Humane Society.

    “In the wild, Mustangs can live up to 40 years. Hurt or disabled horses are protected by the herd and can live remarkably long lives when compared with other animal species that live in the wild.

    “In the Wild West, cowboys would catch, tame and sell mustangs. These cowboys were called “mustang runners.” Mustangs were also hunted for their meat in the early 20th century. Sometimes their meat was used for pet food.

    See https://www.livescience.com/27686-mustangs.html

    “As of July 2018, there were 43,886 wild horses and 1,434 burros in government holding facilities (8,827 in short-term holding corrals, 35,850 in long-term holding pastures in the Midwest and 643 in eco-sanctuaries).”

    7. Yes, BARREL, and again, while we are at it we ought to save the unborn as well. According to the online abortion counter, 300,000,000+ babies have been surgically and chemically killed in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade. 50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies. 200,000,000 were Native American, Caucasian, and Asian American babies.

    8. So how can we save the unborn, PORK. Despite Chuck Schumer threatening Supreme Court Justices with harm, get rid of Roe v Wade and adopt a baby. That is how.

    Coronavirus media cart before the politician Influenza virus horse? Looks like it. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

    1. BARREL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 VIRUS vs INFLUENZA VIRUS.


    2. PORK, I know a few things. I know that it sure looks like the media panic cart is before the politicians’ panic horse. Consider these facts. In this coronavirus panic, we have @ 100 cases of “COVID-19” virus with 9 deaths in the U.S.


    3. In the Coronavirus MERS panic we had 2 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2012. No deaths then and no deaths since.


    4. In the Coronavirus SARS panic we had 27 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2017. No deaths then and no deaths since.


    5. Now let’s stop and at the same time take a hard look at INFLUENZA virus in the U.S. CDC says there have been 18,000 to 46,000 deaths from influenza virus in the U.S. so far this influenza virus year. 


    6. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 1,000,000+ sick with influenza virus in the U.S. this year. 


    7. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 400,000+ hospitalized with influenza virus in the U.S. this year. A hospital administrator friend of mine says the hospitals are stressed because of the great number of influenza virus cases.


    8. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 60,000 deaths are expected from influenza virus in the U.S. this year.


    9. Perhaps more precisely, the CDC estimates that since 2010 influenza virus has resulted in 


    10. between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, 


    11. between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and 


    12. between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.


    13. Hey, folks, and especially you politicians and those who run the CDC, that means between 120,000 to 600,000 will have died from INFLUENZA VIRUS SINCE 2010. 


    14. BARREL, it sure does looks like we have the media panic cart before the politicians’ panic horse.


    15. My friend’s granddaughter has INFLUENZA B so I checked this out and I’m pretty sure the numbers are in the ballpark. 


    16. PORK, it sure looks like INFLUENZA has been and still is the  “hidden” pandemic in the U.S., a pandemic not addressed on Obama’s watch or Bush’s watch. Why the reticence is a question that deserves research.


    17. Sounds like those in charge of the CDC either a) need to be removed from office and someone appointed who will focus not just on media politician panic COVID-19 coronavirus but also on this “hidden pandemic” INFLUENZA VIRUS issue or b) those currently in charge at CDC need to be tasked with gathering real numbers and reporting  to POTUS TRUMP and the nation and c) more importantly take serious steps to cut INFLUENZA deaths – beyond simply saying “get your flu shot.”


    18. Yes, PORK, I talked to one local health official and she said they do not count deaths of adults from influenza which sounds bazaar to me.


    19. You are right, BARREL. If you don’t have the precise numbers it makes it difficult to work on solving the problem.


    20. And while we are at it, BARREL, it certainly looks like the stock market has been manipulated with this media politician driven coronavirus panic. Someone needs to take a hard look at that one for sure.

    1.      BARREL, it sure looks like we are being sold another fake news bill of goods? Do you think that is true? WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

          Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media can’t let POTUS TRUMP alone and have again accused POTUS TRUMP this time of not timely responding to coronavirus COVID-19.

    2.      Yes, PORK, it sure looks like their do nothing failure to do their homework accusations have boomeranged again. POTUS TRUMP has assigned Mike Pence to give oversight to efforts to prevent COVID-19.

    3.      And it sure does look like the response from investors in the stock market is also ludicrous and overreaction.  Do you think that is true?

          Looks like investors have not done their homework either and it looks like the sell off was and still is totally unwarranted once you work past the Schumer Pelosi anti-TRUMP lobby and media negative hype and attempt to create a crisis where the numbers and facts dictate that there is none.

    4.      In my opinion, Schumer, Pelosi, and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media and the frightened investors haven’t done their homework and they clearly don’t know what they are talking about or doing.

    5.      Take a look at the following. Bottom line, it looks like the Wuhan coronavirus is just another coronavirus and that it originated in the Chinese Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons lab and that it is not even close to the influenza sickness and deaths where our resources ought to be placed. So check this out. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

    6.      What is a coronavirus?

    7.      Coronaviruses are a number of viruses that infect the respiratory system.

    8.      Note. They are viruses plural.

    9.      Coronaviruses are found in both animals and people.

    10.  Coronavirus infections in people are common throughout the world.

    11.  They don’t usually cause serious illness.

    12.  Sometimes a coronavirus that infects animals will change and turn into a new coronavirus that can infect people.

    13.  These coronaviruses can be more serious and sometimes lead to pneumonia which is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs.

    14.  Three new coronaviruses have been discovered in recent years:

    15.  SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), a serious and sometimes fatal respiratory illness.

    16.  It was first discovered in China in 2002 and spread around the world.

    17.  An international effort helped quickly contain the spread of the SARS disease.

    18.  There were no deaths from SARS in the U.S.

    19.  There have been no new cases of SARS reported anywhere in world since 2004.

    20.  MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), a severe respiratory illness discovered in Saudi Arabia in 2012 which has spread to 27 countries.

    21.  Only two cases and no deaths there from have been reported in the United States.

    22.  All cases have been linked to travel or residence in or around the Arabian Peninsula.

    23.  COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) was discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan City, in the Hubei Province of China. Only a few cases have been found in the U.S. and no deaths. 

    24.  Why was this coronavirus discovered in Wuhan City?

    25.  Because it looks like the Chinese were testing viruses at their  bioresearch/bioweapons lab in Wuhan and the disease in all liklihood spread from the lab, that is why.

    26.  Think about the following analysis and see what you think.

    27.  “Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

    28.  By Steven W. Mosher

    29.  February 22, 2020 | 11:18am | Updated Read    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/  …

    30.  “At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

    31.  “A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

    32.  “Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

    33.  “Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

    34.  “It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

    35.  “That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    36.  “… What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

    37.  “According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching corona viruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax.

    38.  “This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

    39.  “Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

    40.  “Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments.

    41.  Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

    42.  “And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

    43.  “You heard me right.

    44.  “Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash.

    45.  “One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

    46.  “Enlarge Image Members of a police sanitation team spray disinfectant as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus.AFP via Getty Images

    47.  “Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

    48.  “They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there.

    49.  “Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

    50.  “I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market.

    51.  Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

    52.  “The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    53.  “The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal.

    54.  Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

    55.  “[It looks like] China has unleashed a plague on its own people.

    56.  “It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

    57.  Steven W. Mosher is the president of the Population Research Institute and the author of “Bully of Asia: Why China’s ‘Dream’ Is the New Threat to World Order.”

    58.  Knowing China’s penchant for “taking care of” those who cause difficulty for the regime, and while there is great effort to put the genie back in the bottle, it looks like heads may roll at the Wuhan Institute of Virology if they have not already done so.

    59.  Most infections have occurred in China or are related to travel from Hubei Province.

    60.  There have been some cases reported in United States. NO DEATHS IN THE U.S.

    61.  The outbreak is being closely monitored by:

    62.  the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and

    63.  the World Health Organization (WHO).

    64.  Symptoms of coronavirus infections include:

    65.  Fever

    66.  Cough

    67.  Shortness of breath

    68.  Sore throat

    69.  Headache

    70.  Symptoms of COVID-19 are usually milder than those of SARS and MERS.

    71.  The symptoms of COVID-19 include:

    72.  Fever

    73.  Cough

    74.  Shortness of breath

    75.  Parts of the world that may put you at risk for infection:

    76.  China, which has a high rate of COVID-19 infections.

    77.  Currently the CDC is recommending that people avoid all nonessential travel to China.

    78.  The Arabian Peninsula. 

    79.  There are no known current cases of MERS in the United States.

    80.  But if you have symptoms and have recently traveled there, you should be tested for the infection.

    81.  If you have symptoms and have not traveled to one of these areas or been exposed to someone who has, it’s highly unlikely that you have one of these new coronaviruses.

    82.  You may have another type of virus, such as the flu.

    83.  The flu is much more common in the United States than the new coronaviruses.

    84.  Influenza (flu) Numbers? 

    85.  3,000,000 to 5,000,000 severe illnesses each year world-wide.

    86.   290,000 to 650,000 deaths each year world-wide.

    87.  20% of unvaccinated children catch the virus each year.

    88.   10% of unvaccinated adults are infected each year.

    90.  Influenza Center for Disease Control (CDC) Numbers?

    91.  9,000,000 to 45,000,000 illnesses.

    92.  140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations.

    93.  12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually.

    95.  2018-2019 Flu Season Estimates?

    96.  Influenza activity in the United States during the 2018–2019 season began to increase in November and remained at high levels for several weeks during January–February5.

    97.  Influenza A viruses were the predominant circulating viruses last year.

    98.  While influenza A(H1N1pdm09) viruses predominated from October 2018 – mid February 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses were more commonly reported starting in late February 2019.

    99.  Influenza B viruses were not commonly reported among circulating viruses during the 2018–2019 season.

    100.   The season had moderate severity based on levels of outpatient influenza-like illness, hospitalizations rates, and proportions of pneumonia and influenza-associated deaths.

    101.    CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated:

    102.    35.5 million people getting sick with influenza,

    103.   16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness,

    104.    490,600 hospitalizations, and

    105.   34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). [annual]

    106.   The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated:

    107.   34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.

    108.   Peak activity during the 2018–2019 influenza season was classified as having moderate severity across ages in the population.

    109.   Compared with the 2017–2018 season , which was classified as high severity, the overall rates and burden of influenza were much lower during the 2018–2019 season (Table 2).

    110.   Among children, however, rates of influenza during the 2018–2019 season were similar to the 2017–2018 season.

    111.   In addition, the 2018–2019 season had two waves of activity, including a wave predominated by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and another wave of similar magnitude attributable to influenza A(H3N2) viruses5.

    112.   The dual waves resulted in a protracted season during 2018–2019 that was less severe when compared with peak activity in 2017–2018, but resulted in a similar burden of illness in children by the end of the season.

    113.    During the 2018–2019 season, 136 deaths in children with laboratory–confirmed influenza virus infection were reported in the United States8. 

    114.   However, influenza-associated pediatric deaths are likely under-reported as not all children whose death was related to an influenza virus infection may have been tested for influenza9,10.

    115.   By combining data on hospitalization rates, influenza testing practices, and the frequency of death in and out of the hospital from death certificates, we estimate that there were approximately 480  deaths associated with influenza in children during 2018–2019.

    116.   Our estimates of hospitalizations and mortality associated with the 2018–2019 influenza season continue to demonstrate how serious influenza virus infection can be.

    117.   We estimate, overall, there were:

    118.   490,600 hospitalizations and

    119.   34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 season.

    120.   More than:

    121.    46,000 hospitalizations occurred in children (aged <18 years); however,

    122.   57% of hospitalizations occurred in older adults aged ≥65 years.

    123.    Older adults also accounted for:

    124.   75% of influenza-associated deaths,

    125.    highlighting that older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes resulting from an influenza virus infection.

    126.   An estimated:

    127.   8,100 deaths occurred among working age adults (aged 18–64 years), an age group that often has low influenza vaccination uptake11.

    128.   Conclusion

    129.   CDC estimates that influenza was associated with

    130.   more than:

    131.   35.5 million illnesses,

    132.   more than

    133.   16.5 million medical visits,

    134.   490,600 hospitalizations, and

    135.   34,200 deaths

    136.   during the 2018–2019 influenza season.

    137.   This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season1.

    139.   Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary

    140.   This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance.

    141.   Updated February 23, 2020

    142.   Background

    143.   CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has now been detected in 32 locations internationally, including cases in the United States.

    144.   The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

    145.   On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concernexternal icon” (PHEIC).

    146.   On January 31, 2020, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency (PHE) for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19.

    147.    Source and Spread of the Virus

    148.    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.

    149.   Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2).

    150.   The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.  

    151.   All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. [Probably a bogus conclusion if not a partial explanation as to origins given the Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons connection!]

    152.   The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

    153.   Early on, many of the patients in the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread.

    154.   Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread.

    155.   Person-to-person spread has been reported outside China, including in the United States and other locations.

    156.   Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China.

    157.   In addition, other destinations have apparent community spread, meaning some people have been infected who are not sure how or where they became infected.

    172.   Situation in U.S.

    173.    Imported cases of COVID-19 in travelers have been detected in the U.S. 

    174.   Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

    175.   Illness Severity

    176.   Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause severe illness in people.

    177.   The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood.

    178.   Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death.

    179.   Learn more about the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

    180.   There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

    181.    This is a rapidly evolving situation

    182.    and information will be updated as it becomes available.

    183.    Risk Assessment

    184.   Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern.

    185.   The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications).

    186.   The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread is concerning.

    187.     These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic.

    188.   As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

    189.   The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States.

    190.   But individual risk is dependent on exposure.

    191.   For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.

    192.   Under current circumstances, certain people will have an increased risk of infection, for example healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 and other close contacts of persons with COVID-19.

    193.   CDC has developed guidance to help in the risk assessment and management of people with potential exposures to COVID-19.

    194.   However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. 

    195.   In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

    196.    What May Happen

    197.   More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States.

    198.   It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States.

    199.   Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time.

    200.   Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism.

    201.    Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.

    202.   Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected.

    203.    Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

    204.   At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. 

    205.   Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

    206.   CDC Response

    207.   Global efforts at this time are focused concurrently on containing spread of this virus and mitigating the impact of this virus.

    208.    The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat.

    209.   The public health response is multi-layered, with the goal of detecting and minimizing introductions of this virus in the United States so as to reduce the spread and the impact of this virus.

    210.    CDC is operationalizing all of its pandemic preparedness and response plans, working on multiple fronts to meet these goals, including specific measures to prepare communities to respond local transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.

    211.    There is an abundance of pandemic guidance developed in anticipation of an influenza pandemic that is being repurposed and adapted for a COVID-19 pandemic.

    212.   Highlights of CDC’s Response

    213.   CDC established a COVID-19 Incident Management System on January 7, 2020.

    214.   On January 21, 2020, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better provide ongoing support to the COVID-19 response.

    215.    The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps with respect to travel in response to the growing public health threat posed by this new coronavirus:

    216.   Effective February 2, 2020, at 5pm, the U.S. government suspended entry of foreign nationals who have been in China within the past 14 days.

    217.   U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in Hubei province and other parts of mainland China are allowed to enter the United States, but they are subject to health monitoring and possible quarantine for up to 14 days.

    218.   CDC has issued the following travel guidance related to COVID-19:

    219.   China — Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel — last updated February 22;

    220.     Japan — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — last updated February 22;

    221.    South Korea — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — issued February 22;

    222.   Hong Kong — Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions — issued February 19.

    223.   CDC also recommends that all travelers reconsider cruise ship voyages into or within Asia at this time.

    224.   CDC is issuing clinical guidance, including:

    225.   An interim Health Alert Network (HAN) Update to inform state and local health departments and healthcare professionals about this outbreak on February 1, 2020.

    226.   On January 30, 2020, CDC published guidance for healthcare professionals on the clinical care of  COVID-19 patients.

    227.   On February 3, 2020, CDC posted guidance for assessing the potential risk for various exposures to COVID-19 and managing those people appropriately.

    228.   CDC has deployed multidisciplinary teams to support state health departments with clinical management, contact tracing, and communications.

    229.   CDC has worked with the Department of State, supporting the safe return of Americans who have been stranded as a result of the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions.

    230.     CDC has worked to assess the health of passengers as they return to the United States and provided continued daily monitoring of people who are quarantined.

    231.   The article contains a picture of CDC’s laboratory test kit for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

    232.   CDC is shipping the test kits to laboratories CDC has designated as qualified, including U.S. state and local public health laboratories, Department of Defense (DOD) laboratories and select international laboratories.

    233.   The test kits are bolstering global laboratory capacity for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

    234.   CDC laboratories have supported the COVID-19 response, including:

    235.   CDC has developed a real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) test that can diagnose COVID-19 in respiratory samples from clinical specimens.

    236.   On January 24, 2020, CDC publicly posted the assay protocol for this test.

    237.    CDC has been uploading the entire genome of the viruses from reported cases in the United States to GenBank as sequencing was completed.

    238.     CDC has grown the COVID-19 virus in cell culture, which is necessary for further studies, including for additional genetic characterization.

    239.   The cell-grown virus was sent to NIH’s BEI Resources Repositoryexternal iconexternal icon for use by the broad scientific community.

    240.    CDC Recommends

    241.   While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

    242.   It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.

    243.   If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.

    244.   If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.

    245.   If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity.

    246.   Please follow instructions during this time.

    247.   Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus.

    248.   If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.

    249.   For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

    283.    What happens during coronavirus testing?

    284.    If your provider thinks you may have COVID-19, he or she will contact the CDC or your local health department for instructions on testing.

    285.    You may be told to go to a special lab for your test.

    286.    Only certain labs have been allowed to do tests for COVID-19.

    287.    There are a few ways that a lab may get a sample for testing.

    288.    Swab test. A health care provider will use a special swab to take a sample from your nose or throat.

    289.    Nasal aspirate. A health care provider will inject a saline solution into your nose, then remove the sample with gentle suction.

    290.    Tracheal aspirate. A health care provider will put a thin, lighted tube called a bronchoscope down your mouth and into your lungs, where a sample will be collected.

    291.    Sputum test. Sputum is a thick mucus that is coughed up from the lungs. You may be asked to cough up sputum into a special cup, or a special swab may be used to take a sample from your nose.

    292.    Blood. A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm.

    293.    The FDA has approved more widespread use of a rapid test for COVID-19.

    294.    The test, which was developed by the CDC, uses samples from the nose, throat, or lungs.

    295.    It enables fast, accurate diagnosis of the virus.

    296.    The test is now allowed to be used at any CDC-approved lab across the country.

    297.    Will I need to do anything to prepare for this test?

    298.    Your health care provider may ask you to wear a facemask to your appointment.

    299.    Your provider will let you know if you should take other steps to prevent the spread of infection.

    300.    Are there any risks to the test?

    301.    You may feel a tickle or a gagging sensation when your nose or throat is swabbed.

    302.    The nasal aspirate may feel uncomfortable.

    303.    These effects are temporary.

    304.    There is a minor risk of bleeding or infection from a tracheal aspiration.

    305.    There is very little risk to having a blood test.

    306.    You may have slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly.

    307.    What do the results mean?

    308.    If your results were positive, it means you probably have a coronavirus infection.

    309.    There is no specific treatment for these infections, but your health care provider may recommend steps to relieve your symptoms.

    310.    These include:

    311.    Drinking plenty of fluids

    312.    Resting

    313.    Taking over-the-counter pain relievers

    314.    You may need to go to the hospital if your symptoms get worse, which may be a sign of pneumonia.

    315.    Symptoms of pneumonia include a worsening cough, increased trouble breathing, and a high fever.

    316.    If you were diagnosed with a coronavirus infection, you should also take the following steps to prevent others from getting sick:

    317.    Stay home, except to get medical care.

    318.    Wear a facemask when you are around other people.

    319.    Do not share drinking glasses, eating utensils, towels, bedding, or other items with people in your home.

    320.    Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hands.

    321.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

    322.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    323.    If your results were negative, you may need further testing and/or an exam by your provider.

    324.    Until you get a diagnosis, you will still need to take steps to prevent spreading the infection.

    325.    Is there anything else I need to know about coronavirus testing?

    326.    You can lower your risk of getting an infection by taking the following steps:

    327.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

    328.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    329.    Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

    330.    When possible, keep away from people who are coughing and sneezing.

    331.    Clean frequently-touched objects and surfaces with a household disinfectant spray or wipe.

    345.    CT provides best diagnosis for COVID-19

    346.    Date:

    347.    February 26, 2020

    348.    Source:

    349.    Radiological Society of North America

    350.    Summary:

    351.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

    352.    FULL STORY

    353.   

    354.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

    355.    The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

    356.    In the absence of specific therapeutic drugs or vaccines for COVID-19, it is essential to detect the disease at an early stage and immediately isolate an infected patient from the healthy population.

    357.    According to the latest guidelines published by the Chinese government, the diagnosis of COVID-19 must be confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or gene sequencing for respiratory or blood specimens, as the key indicator for hospitalization.

    358.    However, with limitations of sample collection and transportation, as well as kit performance, the total positive rate of RT-PCR for throat swab samples has been reported to be about 30% to 60% at initial presentation.

    359.    In the current public health emergency, the low sensitivity of RT-PCR implies that a large number of COVID-19 patients won’t be identified quickly and may not receive appropriate treatment.

    360.    In addition, given the highly contagious nature of the virus, they carry a risk of infecting a larger population.

    361.    “Early diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial for disease treatment and control.

    362.    Compared to RT-PCR, chest CT imaging may be a more reliable, practical and rapid method to diagnose and assess COVID-19, especially in the epidemic area,” the authors wrote.

    363.    Chest CT, a routine imaging tool for pneumonia diagnosis, is fast and relatively easy to perform.

    364.    Recent research found that the sensitivity of CT for COVID-19 infection was 98% compared to RT-PCR sensitivity of 71%.

    365.    For the current study, researchers at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, set out to investigate the diagnostic value and consistency of chest CT imaging in comparison to RT-PCR assay in COVID-19.

    366.    Included in the study were 1,014 patients who underwent both chest CT and RT-PCR tests between January 6 and February 6, 2020.

    367.    With RT-PCR as reference standard, the performance of chest CT in diagnosing COVID-19 was assessed.

    368.    For patients with multiple RT-PCR assays, the dynamic conversion of RT-PCR test results (negative to positive, and positive to negative, respectively) was also analyzed as compared with serial chest CT scans.

    369.    The results showed that 601 patients (59%) had positive RT-PCR results, and 888 (88%) had positive chest CT scans.

    370.    The sensitivity of chest CT in suggesting COVID-19 was 97%, based on positive RT-PCR results.

    371.    In patients with negative RT-PCR results, 75% (308 of 413 patients) had positive chest CT findings. Of these, 48% were considered as highly likely cases, with 33% as probable cases.

    372.    By analysis of serial RT-PCR assays and CT scans, the interval between the initial negative to positive RT-PCR results was 4 to 8 days.

    373.    “About 81% of the patients with negative RT-PCR results but positive chest CT scans were re-classified as highly likely or probable cases with COVID-19, by the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, typical CT manifestations and dynamic CT follow-ups,” the authors wrote.

    392.    Summary:

    393.    According to a Feb. 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths [world-wide with few in the U.S. and no deaths in the U.S. – Compared to flu this is a no brainer.] since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. [How do they know when the testing is so problematical?]

    394.    Now, researchers have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab.

    395.    The compounds have not yet been tested in people. 

    396.    FULL STORY

    397.   

    398.    According to a February 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Journal of Medicinal Chemistry have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab. The compounds have not yet been tested in people.

    399.    The Wuhan coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV, is a close relative to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that caused an outbreak in 2003 (SARS-CoV-1), as well as the Middle-East respiratory disease virus (MERS-CoV) that emerged in 2012.

    400.    All of these viruses cause flu-like symptoms and, frequently, pneumonia.

    401.    However, no effective treatments have been developed, in part because the relatively small number of cases have not warranted large expenditures by pharmaceutical companies.

    402.    Hong Liu, Rolf Hilgenfeld and colleagues envisioned a possible solution in the form of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that target all coronaviruses, as well as enteroviruses — some of which cause conditions like the common cold; hand, foot and mouth disease; and the “summer flu.”

    403.    All of these viruses share a similar protein-cutting enzyme, called the “main protease” in coronaviruses and the “3C protease” in enteroviruses, that is essential for viral replication.

    404.    The researchers examined X-ray crystal structures of the proteases and then made a series of α-ketoamide compounds that were predicted to fit snugly in the enzymes’ active sites, interfering with their function.

    405.    By testing the molecules in the test tube and in human cells in petri dishes, they identified one versatile inhibitor that blocked multiple coronaviruses and enteroviruses, including SARS-CoV-1.

    406.    Another molecule showed very strong activity against MERS-CoV, with moderate activity against the other viruses.

    407.    Because the main proteases of SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1 are very similar, the inhibitors will most likely show good antiviral activity against the Wuhan coronavirus, the researchers say.

    408.    Their next step will be to test the inhibitors in small-animal models of disease.

    WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

    Posted on

    Is the coronavirus an overreaction and even a hoax? BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

    1.      BARREL, it sure looks like we are being sold another fake news bill of goods? WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

          Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media can’t let POTUS TRUMP alone and have again accused POTUS TRUMP this time of not timely responding to coronavirus COVID-19.

    2.      Yes, PORK, it sure looks like their do nothing failure to do their homework accusations have boomeranged again.

    3.      And it looks like the response from investors in the stock market is also ludicrous and overreaction. 

          They too have not done their homework and it looks like the sell off was and still is totally unwarranted once you work past the Schumer Pelosi anti-TRUMP lobby and media negative hype and attempt to create a crisis where the facts dictate that there is none.

    4.      In my opinion, Schumer, Pelosi, and the anti-TRUMP lobby and media and the frightened investors haven’t done their homework and they clearly don’t know what they are talking about or doing.

    5.      Take a look at the following. Bottom line, it looks like the Wuhan coronavirus is just another coronavirus and that it originated in the Chinese Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons lab and that it is not even close to the influenza sickness and deaths where our resources ought to be placed. So check this out. WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE.

    6.      What is a coronavirus?

    7.      Coronaviruses are a number of viruses that infect the respiratory system.

    8.      Note. They are viruses plural.

    9.      Coronaviruses are found in both animals and people.

    10.  Coronavirus infections in people are common throughout the world.

    11.  They don’t usually cause serious illness.

    12.  Sometimes a coronavirus that infects animals will change and turn into a new coronavirus that can infect people.

    13.  These coronaviruses can be more serious and sometimes lead to pneumonia which is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs.

    14.  Three new coronaviruses have been discovered in recent years:

    15.  SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), a serious and sometimes fatal respiratory illness.

    16.  It was first discovered in China in 2002 and spread around the world.

    17.  An international effort helped quickly contain the spread of the SARS disease.

    18.  There were no deaths from SARS in the U.S.

    19.  There have been no new cases of SARS reported anywhere in world since 2004.

    20.  MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), a severe respiratory illness discovered in Saudi Arabia in 2012 which has spread to 27 countries.

    21.  Only two cases and no deaths there from have been reported in the United States.

    22.  All cases have been linked to travel or residence in or around the Arabian Peninsula.

    23.  COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) was discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan City, in the Hubei Province of China. Only a few cases have been found in the U.S. and no deaths. 

    24.  Why was this coronavirus discovered in Wuhan City?

    25.  Because it looks like the Chinese were testing viruses at their  bioresearch/bioweapons lab in Wuhan and the disease in all liklihood spread from the lab, that is why.

    26.  Think about the following analysis and see what you think.

    27.  “Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

    28.  By Steven W. Mosher

    29.  February 22, 2020 | 11:18am | Updated Read    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/  …

    30.  “At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

    31.  “A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

    32.  “Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

    33.  “Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

    34.  “It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

    35.  “That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    36.  “… What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

    37.  “According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching corona viruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax.

    38.  “This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

    39.  “Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

    40.  “Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments.

    41.  Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

    42.  “And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

    43.  “You heard me right.

    44.  “Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash.

    45.  “One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

    46.  “Enlarge Image Members of a police sanitation team spray disinfectant as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus.AFP via Getty Images

    47.  “Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

    48.  “They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there.

    49.  “Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

    50.  “I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market.

    51.  Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

    52.  “The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    53.  “The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal.

    54.  Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

    55.  “[It looks like] China has unleashed a plague on its own people.

    56.  “It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

    57.  Steven W. Mosher is the president of the Population Research Institute and the author of “Bully of Asia: Why China’s ‘Dream’ Is the New Threat to World Order.”

    58.  Knowing China’s penchant for “taking care of” those who cause difficulty for the regime, and while there is great effort to put the genie back in the bottle, it looks like heads may roll at the Wuhan Institute of Virology if they have not already done so.

    59.  Most infections have occurred in China or are related to travel from Hubei Province.

    60.  There have been some cases reported in United States. NO DEATHS IN THE U.S.

    61.  The outbreak is being closely monitored by:

    62.  the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and

    63.  the World Health Organization (WHO).

    64.  Symptoms of coronavirus infections include:

    65.  Fever

    66.  Cough

    67.  Shortness of breath

    68.  Sore throat

    69.  Headache

    70.  Symptoms of COVID-19 are usually milder than those of SARS and MERS.

    71.  The symptoms of COVID-19 include:

    72.  Fever

    73.  Cough

    74.  Shortness of breath

    75.  Parts of the world that may put you at risk for infection:

    76.  China, which has a high rate of COVID-19 infections.

    77.  Currently the CDC is recommending that people avoid all nonessential travel to China.

    78.  The Arabian Peninsula. 

    79.  There are no known current cases of MERS in the United States.

    80.  But if you have symptoms and have recently traveled there, you should be tested for the infection.

    81.  If you have symptoms and have not traveled to one of these areas or been exposed to someone who has, it’s highly unlikely that you have one of these new coronaviruses.

    82.  You may have another type of virus, such as the flu.

    83.  The flu is much more common in the United States than the new coronaviruses.

    84.  Influenza (flu) Numbers? 

    85.  3,000,000 to 5,000,000 severe illnesses each year world-wide.

    86.   290,000 to 650,000 deaths each year world-wide.

    87.  20% of unvaccinated children catch the virus each year.

    88.   10% of unvaccinated adults are infected each year.

    90.  Influenza Center for Disease Control (CDC) Numbers?

    91.  9,000,000 to 45,000,000 illnesses.

    92.  140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations.

    93.  12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually.

    95.  2018-2019 Flu Season Estimates?

    96.  Influenza activity in the United States during the 2018–2019 season began to increase in November and remained at high levels for several weeks during January–February5.

    97.  Influenza A viruses were the predominant circulating viruses last year.

    98.  While influenza A(H1N1pdm09) viruses predominated from October 2018 – mid February 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses were more commonly reported starting in late February 2019.

    99.  Influenza B viruses were not commonly reported among circulating viruses during the 2018–2019 season.

    100.   The season had moderate severity based on levels of outpatient influenza-like illness, hospitalizations rates, and proportions of pneumonia and influenza-associated deaths.

    101.    CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated:

    102.    35.5 million people getting sick with influenza,

    103.   16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness,

    104.    490,600 hospitalizations, and

    105.   34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). [annual]

    106.   The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated:

    107.   34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.

    108.   Peak activity during the 2018–2019 influenza season was classified as having moderate severity across ages in the population.

    109.   Compared with the 2017–2018 season , which was classified as high severity, the overall rates and burden of influenza were much lower during the 2018–2019 season (Table 2).

    110.   Among children, however, rates of influenza during the 2018–2019 season were similar to the 2017–2018 season.

    111.   In addition, the 2018–2019 season had two waves of activity, including a wave predominated by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and another wave of similar magnitude attributable to influenza A(H3N2) viruses5.

    112.   The dual waves resulted in a protracted season during 2018–2019 that was less severe when compared with peak activity in 2017–2018, but resulted in a similar burden of illness in children by the end of the season.

    113.    During the 2018–2019 season, 136 deaths in children with laboratory–confirmed influenza virus infection were reported in the United States8. 

    114.   However, influenza-associated pediatric deaths are likely under-reported as not all children whose death was related to an influenza virus infection may have been tested for influenza9,10.

    115.   By combining data on hospitalization rates, influenza testing practices, and the frequency of death in and out of the hospital from death certificates, we estimate that there were approximately 480  deaths associated with influenza in children during 2018–2019.

    116.   Our estimates of hospitalizations and mortality associated with the 2018–2019 influenza season continue to demonstrate how serious influenza virus infection can be.

    117.   We estimate, overall, there were:

    118.   490,600 hospitalizations and

    119.   34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 season.

    120.   More than:

    121.    46,000 hospitalizations occurred in children (aged <18 years); however,

    122.   57% of hospitalizations occurred in older adults aged ≥65 years.

    123.    Older adults also accounted for:

    124.   75% of influenza-associated deaths,

    125.    highlighting that older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes resulting from an influenza virus infection.

    126.   An estimated:

    127.   8,100 deaths occurred among working age adults (aged 18–64 years), an age group that often has low influenza vaccination uptake11.

    128.   Conclusion

    129.   CDC estimates that influenza was associated with

    130.   more than:

    131.   35.5 million illnesses,

    132.   more than

    133.   16.5 million medical visits,

    134.   490,600 hospitalizations, and

    135.   34,200 deaths

    136.   during the 2018–2019 influenza season.

    137.   This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season1.

    139.   Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary

    140.   This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance.

    141.   Updated February 23, 2020

    142.   Background

    143.   CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has now been detected in 32 locations internationally, including cases in the United States.

    144.   The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

    145.   On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concernexternal icon” (PHEIC).

    146.   On January 31, 2020, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency (PHE) for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19.

    147.    Source and Spread of the Virus

    148.    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.

    149.   Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2).

    150.   The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.  

    151.   All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. [Probably a bogus conclusion if not a partial explanation as to origins given the Wuhan bioresearch/bioweapons connection!]

    152.   The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

    153.   Early on, many of the patients in the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread.

    154.   Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread.

    155.   Person-to-person spread has been reported outside China, including in the United States and other locations.

    156.   Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China.

    157.   In addition, other destinations have apparent community spread, meaning some people have been infected who are not sure how or where they became infected.

    174.   Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

    175.   Illness Severity

    176.   Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause severe illness in people.

    177.   The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood.

    178.   Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death.

    179.   Learn more about the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

    180.   There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

    181.    This is a rapidly evolving situation

    182.    and information will be updated as it becomes available.

    183.    Risk Assessment

    184.   Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern.

    185.   The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications).

    186.   The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread is concerning.

    187.     These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic.

    188.   As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

    189.   The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States.

    190.   But individual risk is dependent on exposure.

    191.   For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.

    192.   Under current circumstances, certain people will have an increased risk of infection, for example healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 and other close contacts of persons with COVID-19.

    193.   CDC has developed guidance to help in the risk assessment and management of people with potential exposures to COVID-19.

    194.   However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. 

    195.   In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

    196.    What May Happen

    197.   More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States.

    198.   It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States.

    199.   Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time.

    200.   Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism.

    201.    Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.

    202.   Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected.

    203.    Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

    204.   At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. 

    205.   Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

    206.   CDC Response

    207.   Global efforts at this time are focused concurrently on containing spread of this virus and mitigating the impact of this virus.

    208.    The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat.

    209.   The public health response is multi-layered, with the goal of detecting and minimizing introductions of this virus in the United States so as to reduce the spread and the impact of this virus.

    210.    CDC is operationalizing all of its pandemic preparedness and response plans, working on multiple fronts to meet these goals, including specific measures to prepare communities to respond local transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.

    211.    There is an abundance of pandemic guidance developed in anticipation of an influenza pandemic that is being repurposed and adapted for a COVID-19 pandemic.

    212.   Highlights of CDC’s Response

    213.   CDC established a COVID-19 Incident Management System on January 7, 2020.

    214.   On January 21, 2020, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better provide ongoing support to the COVID-19 response.

    215.    The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps with respect to travel in response to the growing public health threat posed by this new coronavirus:

    216.   Effective February 2, 2020, at 5pm, the U.S. government suspended entry of foreign nationals who have been in China within the past 14 days.

    217.   U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in Hubei province and other parts of mainland China are allowed to enter the United States, but they are subject to health monitoring and possible quarantine for up to 14 days.

    218.   CDC has issued the following travel guidance related to COVID-19:

    219.   China — Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel — last updated February 22;

    220.     Japan — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — last updated February 22;

    221.    South Korea — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — issued February 22;

    222.   Hong Kong — Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions — issued February 19.

    223.   CDC also recommends that all travelers reconsider cruise ship voyages into or within Asia at this time.

    224.   CDC is issuing clinical guidance, including:

    225.   An interim Health Alert Network (HAN) Update to inform state and local health departments and healthcare professionals about this outbreak on February 1, 2020.

    226.   On January 30, 2020, CDC published guidance for healthcare professionals on the clinical care of  COVID-19 patients.

    227.   On February 3, 2020, CDC posted guidance for assessing the potential risk for various exposures to COVID-19 and managing those people appropriately.

    228.   CDC has deployed multidisciplinary teams to support state health departments with clinical management, contact tracing, and communications.

    229.   CDC has worked with the Department of State, supporting the safe return of Americans who have been stranded as a result of the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions.

    230.     CDC has worked to assess the health of passengers as they return to the United States and provided continued daily monitoring of people who are quarantined.

    231.   The article contains a picture of CDC’s laboratory test kit for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

    232.   CDC is shipping the test kits to laboratories CDC has designated as qualified, including U.S. state and local public health laboratories, Department of Defense (DOD) laboratories and select international laboratories.

    233.   The test kits are bolstering global laboratory capacity for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

    234.   CDC laboratories have supported the COVID-19 response, including:

    235.   CDC has developed a real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) test that can diagnose COVID-19 in respiratory samples from clinical specimens.

    236.   On January 24, 2020, CDC publicly posted the assay protocol for this test.

    237.    CDC has been uploading the entire genome of the viruses from reported cases in the United States to GenBank as sequencing was completed.

    238.     CDC has grown the COVID-19 virus in cell culture, which is necessary for further studies, including for additional genetic characterization.

    239.   The cell-grown virus was sent to NIH’s BEI Resources Repositoryexternal iconexternal icon for use by the broad scientific community.

    240.    CDC Recommends

    241.   While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

    242.   It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.

    243.   If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.

    244.   If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.

    245.   If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity.

    246.   Please follow instructions during this time.

    247.   Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus.

    248.   If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.

    249.   For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

    283.    What happens during coronavirus testing?

    284.    If your provider thinks you may have COVID-19, he or she will contact the CDC or your local health department for instructions on testing.

    285.    You may be told to go to a special lab for your test.

    286.    Only certain labs have been allowed to do tests for COVID-19.

    287.    There are a few ways that a lab may get a sample for testing.

    288.    Swab test. A health care provider will use a special swab to take a sample from your nose or throat.

    289.    Nasal aspirate. A health care provider will inject a saline solution into your nose, then remove the sample with gentle suction.

    290.    Tracheal aspirate. A health care provider will put a thin, lighted tube called a bronchoscope down your mouth and into your lungs, where a sample will be collected.

    291.    Sputum test. Sputum is a thick mucus that is coughed up from the lungs. You may be asked to cough up sputum into a special cup, or a special swab may be used to take a sample from your nose.

    292.    Blood. A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm.

    293.    The FDA has approved more widespread use of a rapid test for COVID-19.

    294.    The test, which was developed by the CDC, uses samples from the nose, throat, or lungs.

    295.    It enables fast, accurate diagnosis of the virus.

    296.    The test is now allowed to be used at any CDC-approved lab across the country.

    297.    Will I need to do anything to prepare for this test?

    298.    Your health care provider may ask you to wear a facemask to your appointment.

    299.    Your provider will let you know if you should take other steps to prevent the spread of infection.

    300.    Are there any risks to the test?

    301.    You may feel a tickle or a gagging sensation when your nose or throat is swabbed.

    302.    The nasal aspirate may feel uncomfortable.

    303.    These effects are temporary.

    304.    There is a minor risk of bleeding or infection from a tracheal aspiration.

    305.    There is very little risk to having a blood test.

    306.    You may have slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly.

    307.    What do the results mean?

    308.    If your results were positive, it means you probably have a coronavirus infection.

    309.    There is no specific treatment for these infections, but your health care provider may recommend steps to relieve your symptoms.

    310.    These include:

    311.    Drinking plenty of fluids

    312.    Resting

    313.    Taking over-the-counter pain relievers

    314.    You may need to go to the hospital if your symptoms get worse, which may be a sign of pneumonia.

    315.    Symptoms of pneumonia include a worsening cough, increased trouble breathing, and a high fever.

    316.    If you were diagnosed with a coronavirus infection, you should also take the following steps to prevent others from getting sick:

    317.    Stay home, except to get medical care.

    318.    Wear a facemask when you are around other people.

    319.    Do not share drinking glasses, eating utensils, towels, bedding, or other items with people in your home.

    320.    Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hands.

    321.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

    322.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    323.    If your results were negative, you may need further testing and/or an exam by your provider.

    324.    Until you get a diagnosis, you will still need to take steps to prevent spreading the infection.

    325.    Is there anything else I need to know about coronavirus testing?

    326.    You can lower your risk of getting an infection by taking the following steps:

    327.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

    328.    If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

    329.    Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

    330.    When possible, keep away from people who are coughing and sneezing.

    331.    Clean frequently-touched objects and surfaces with a household disinfectant spray or wipe.

    345.    CT provides best diagnosis for COVID-19

    346.    Date:

    347.    February 26, 2020

    348.    Source:

    349.    Radiological Society of North America

    350.    Summary:

    351.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

    352.    FULL STORY

    353.   

    354.    In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

    355.    The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the primary screening tool for COVID-19.

    356.    In the absence of specific therapeutic drugs or vaccines for COVID-19, it is essential to detect the disease at an early stage and immediately isolate an infected patient from the healthy population.

    357.    According to the latest guidelines published by the Chinese government, the diagnosis of COVID-19 must be confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or gene sequencing for respiratory or blood specimens, as the key indicator for hospitalization.

    358.    However, with limitations of sample collection and transportation, as well as kit performance, the total positive rate of RT-PCR for throat swab samples has been reported to be about 30% to 60% at initial presentation.

    359.    In the current public health emergency, the low sensitivity of RT-PCR implies that a large number of COVID-19 patients won’t be identified quickly and may not receive appropriate treatment.

    360.    In addition, given the highly contagious nature of the virus, they carry a risk of infecting a larger population.

    361.    “Early diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial for disease treatment and control.

    362.    Compared to RT-PCR, chest CT imaging may be a more reliable, practical and rapid method to diagnose and assess COVID-19, especially in the epidemic area,” the authors wrote.

    363.    Chest CT, a routine imaging tool for pneumonia diagnosis, is fast and relatively easy to perform.

    364.    Recent research found that the sensitivity of CT for COVID-19 infection was 98% compared to RT-PCR sensitivity of 71%.

    365.    For the current study, researchers at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, set out to investigate the diagnostic value and consistency of chest CT imaging in comparison to RT-PCR assay in COVID-19.

    366.    Included in the study were 1,014 patients who underwent both chest CT and RT-PCR tests between January 6 and February 6, 2020.

    367.    With RT-PCR as reference standard, the performance of chest CT in diagnosing COVID-19 was assessed.

    368.    For patients with multiple RT-PCR assays, the dynamic conversion of RT-PCR test results (negative to positive, and positive to negative, respectively) was also analyzed as compared with serial chest CT scans.

    369.    The results showed that 601 patients (59%) had positive RT-PCR results, and 888 (88%) had positive chest CT scans.

    370.    The sensitivity of chest CT in suggesting COVID-19 was 97%, based on positive RT-PCR results.

    371.    In patients with negative RT-PCR results, 75% (308 of 413 patients) had positive chest CT findings. Of these, 48% were considered as highly likely cases, with 33% as probable cases.

    372.    By analysis of serial RT-PCR assays and CT scans, the interval between the initial negative to positive RT-PCR results was 4 to 8 days.

    373.    “About 81% of the patients with negative RT-PCR results but positive chest CT scans were re-classified as highly likely or probable cases with COVID-19, by the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, typical CT manifestations and dynamic CT follow-ups,” the authors wrote.

    392.    Summary:

    393.    According to a Feb. 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths [world-wide with few in the U.S. and no deaths in the U.S. – Compared to flu this is a no brainer.] since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. [How do they know when the testing is so problematical?]

    394.    Now, researchers have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab.

    395.    The compounds have not yet been tested in people. 

    396.    FULL STORY

    397.   

    398.    According to a February 13 report from the World Health Organization, the Wuhan coronavirus has stricken more than 46,000 people and has caused over 1,300 deaths since the first cases in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Journal of Medicinal Chemistry have designed compounds that block the replication of similar coronaviruses, as well as other disease-causing viruses, in the lab. The compounds have not yet been tested in people.

    399.    The Wuhan coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV, is a close relative to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that caused an outbreak in 2003 (SARS-CoV-1), as well as the Middle-East respiratory disease virus (MERS-CoV) that emerged in 2012.

    400.    All of these viruses cause flu-like symptoms and, frequently, pneumonia.

    401.    However, no effective treatments have been developed, in part because the relatively small number of cases have not warranted large expenditures by pharmaceutical companies.

    402.    Hong Liu, Rolf Hilgenfeld and colleagues envisioned a possible solution in the form of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that target all coronaviruses, as well as enteroviruses — some of which cause conditions like the common cold; hand, foot and mouth disease; and the “summer flu.”

    403.    All of these viruses share a similar protein-cutting enzyme, called the “main protease” in coronaviruses and the “3C protease” in enteroviruses, that is essential for viral replication.

    404.    The researchers examined X-ray crystal structures of the proteases and then made a series of α-ketoamide compounds that were predicted to fit snugly in the enzymes’ active sites, interfering with their function.

    405.    By testing the molecules in the test tube and in human cells in petri dishes, they identified one versatile inhibitor that blocked multiple coronaviruses and enteroviruses, including SARS-CoV-1.

    406.    Another molecule showed very strong activity against MERS-CoV, with moderate activity against the other viruses.

    407.    Because the main proteases of SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1 are very similar, the inhibitors will most likely show good antiviral activity against the Wuhan coronavirus, the researchers say.

    408.    Their next step will be to test the inhibitors in small-animal models of disease.

    4.     Don’t buy China’s story: The corona virus may have leaked from a lab

    5.     By Steven W. Mosher

    6.     February 22, 2020 | 11:18am | Updated Read    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/  …

    8.     “At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

    9.     “A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

    10. “Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

    11. Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

    12. It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

    13. That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    14. … What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

    15. According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching corona viruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

    16. Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

    17. Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments. Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

    18. And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

    19. You heard me right.

    20. Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

    21. Enlarge ImageMembers of a police sanitation team spray disinfectant as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus.AFP via Getty Images

    22. Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

    23. They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there.

    24. Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

    25. I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

    26. The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

    27. [It looks like] China has unleashed a plague on its own people. It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

    28. Steven W. Mosher is the president of the Population Research Institute and the author of “Bully of Asia: Why China’s ‘Dream’ Is the New Threat to World Order.”

    29. Looks like heads will roll at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    Coronavirus and Influenza (flu) – when all is said and done, what should POTUS TRUMP and the CDC and WHO do? BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

    BARREL, the public and the media are rightly concerned about Corona Virus. Here are details regarding INFLUENZA AND THE CORONA VIRUS that may alleviate some of the worry and put the matter in a clearer perspective. 

    Bottom line, perhaps POTUS TRUMP ought to focus more national resources on combatting INFLUENZA (FLU) while at the same time taking all precautions regarding CORONA VIRUS.

    1.     Influenza (flu) Numbers? 

    2.     3,000,000 to 5,000,000 severe illnesses each year world-wide.

    3.     290,000 to 650,000 deaths each year world-wide.

    4.     20% of unvaccinated children catch the virus each year.

    5.     10% of unvaccinated adults are infected each year.

    6.     Source. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS863US863&sxsrf=ALeKk02EwMT7wCi-NGGRFDe6U70eItXHSg%3A1582577030774&ei=hjVUXsnjLoL49AOR-7-IBQ&q=Influenza+death+rate&oq=Influenza+death+rate&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i131l3j0l7.71691.81146..81693…3.0..1.525.2618.24j1j5-1……0….1..gws-wiz…….35i39j0i131i20i263j35i39i285j0i67j0i131i67j0i20i263j35i39i285i70i250j0i273.MIHkUG7LvnI&ved=0ahUKEwjJvv7thuvnAhUCPH0KHZH9D1EQ4dUDCAs&uact=5

    7.     Influenza Center for Disease Control (CDC) Numbers?

    8.     9,000,000 to 45,000,000 illnesses.

    9.     140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations.

    10. 12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually.

    11. https://www.google.com/search?q=Influenza+illness+and+deaths&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS863US863&oq=Influenza+illness+and+deaths&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.10719j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    12. 2018-2019 Flu Season Estimates?

    13. Influenza activity in the United States during the 2018–2019 season began to increase in November and remained at high levels for several weeks during January–February5.

    14. Influenza A viruses were the predominant circulating viruses last year.

    15. While influenza A(H1N1pdm09) viruses predominated from October 2018 – mid February 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses were more commonly reported starting in late February 2019.

    16. Influenza B viruses were not commonly reported among circulating viruses during the 2018–2019 season.

    17. The season had moderate severity based on levels of outpatient influenza-like illness, hospitalizations rates, and proportions of pneumonia and influenza-associated deaths.

    18. CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated:

    19. 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza,

    20. 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness,

    21. 490,600 hospitalizations, and

    22. 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). [annual]

    23. The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated:

    24. 34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.

    25. Peak activity during the 2018–2019 influenza season was classified as having moderate severity across ages in the population.

    26. Compared with the 2017–2018 season , which was classified as high severity, the overall rates and burden of influenza were much lower during the 2018–2019 season (Table 2).

    27. Among children, however, rates of influenza during the 2018–2019 season were similar to the 2017–2018 season.

    28. In addition, the 2018–2019 season had two waves of activity, including a wave predominated by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and another wave of similar magnitude attributable to influenza A(H3N2) viruses5.

    29. The dual waves resulted in a protracted season during 2018–2019 that was less severe when compared with peak activity in 2017–2018, but resulted in a similar burden of illness in children by the end of the season.

    30. During the 2018–2019 season, 136 deaths in children with laboratory–confirmed influenza virus infection were reported in the United States8. 

    31. However, influenza-associated pediatric deaths are likely under-reported as not all children whose death was related to an influenza virus infection may have been tested for influenza9,10.

    32. By combining data on hospitalization rates, influenza testing practices, and the frequency of death in and out of the hospital from death certificates, we estimate that there were approximately 480  deaths associated with influenza in children during 2018–2019.

    33. Our estimates of hospitalizations and mortality associated with the 2018–2019 influenza season continue to demonstrate how serious influenza virus infection can be.

    34. We estimate, overall, there were:

    35. 490,600 hospitalizations and

    36. 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 season.

    37. More than:

    38. 46,000 hospitalizations occurred in children (aged <18 years); however,

    39. 57% of hospitalizations occurred in older adults aged ≥65 years.

    40. Older adults also accounted for:

    41. 75% of influenza-associated deaths,

    42. highlighting that older adults are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes resulting from an influenza virus infection.

    43. An estimated:

    44. 8,100 deaths occurred among working age adults (aged 18–64 years), an age group that often has low influenza vaccination uptake11.

    45. Conclusion

    46. CDC estimates that influenza was associated with

    47. more than:

    48. 35.5 million illnesses,

    49. more than

    50. 16.5 million medical visits,

    51. 490,600 hospitalizations, and

    52. 34,200 deaths

    53. during the 2018–2019 influenza season.

    54. This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season1.

    56. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary

    57. This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance.

    58. Updated February 23, 2020

    59. Background

    60. CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has now been detected in 32 locations internationally, including cases in the United States.

    61. The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).

    62. On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concernexternal icon” (PHEIC).

    63. On January 31, 2020, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency (PHE) for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19.

    64. Source and Spread of the Virus

    65. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.

    66. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2).

    67. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.  

    68. All three of these viruses have their origins in bats.

    69. The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

    70. Early on, many of the patients in the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread.

    71. Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread.

    72. Person-to-person spread has been reported outside China, including in the United States and other locations.

    73. Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China.

    74. In addition, other destinations have apparent community spread, meaning some people have been infected who are not sure how or where they became infected.

    90. COVID-19 cases in the U.S.

    91. Situation in U.S.

    92. Imported cases of COVID-19 in travelers have been detected in the U.S. 

    93. Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from Wuhan, but at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

    94. Illness Severity

    95. Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause severe illness in people.

    96. The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood.

    97. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death.

    98. Learn more about the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

    99. There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

    100.        This is a rapidly evolving situation

    101.        and information will be updated as it becomes available.

    102.        Risk Assessment

    103.        Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern.

    104.        The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications).

    105.        The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread is concerning.

    106.        These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic.

    107.        As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

    108.        The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States.

    109.        But individual risk is dependent on exposure.

    110.        For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.

    111.        Under current circumstances, certain people will have an increased risk of infection, for example healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 and other close contacts of persons with COVID-19.

    112.        CDC has developed guidance to help in the risk assessment and management of people with potential exposures to COVID-19.

    113.        However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. 

    114.        In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

    115.        What May Happen

    116.        More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States.

    117.        It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States.

    118.        Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time.

    119.        Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism.

    120.        Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.

    121.        Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected.

    122.        Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

    123.        At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. 

    124.        Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

    125.        CDC Response

    126.        Global efforts at this time are focused concurrently on containing spread of this virus and mitigating the impact of this virus.

    127.        The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat.

    128.        The public health response is multi-layered, with the goal of detecting and minimizing introductions of this virus in the United States so as to reduce the spread and the impact of this virus.

    129.        CDC is operationalizing all of its pandemic preparedness and response plans, working on multiple fronts to meet these goals, including specific measures to prepare communities to respond local transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.

    130.        There is an abundance of pandemic guidance developed in anticipation of an influenza pandemic that is being repurposed and adapted for a COVID-19 pandemic.

    131.        Highlights of CDC’s Response

    132.        CDC established a COVID-19 Incident Management System on January 7, 2020.

    133.        On January 21, 2020, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better provide ongoing support to the COVID-19 response.

    134.        The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps with respect to travel in response to the growing public health threat posed by this new coronavirus:

    135.        Effective February 2, 2020, at 5pm, the U.S. government suspended entry of foreign nationals who have been in China within the past 14 days.

    136.        U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in Hubei province and other parts of mainland China are allowed to enter the United States, but they are subject to health monitoring and possible quarantine for up to 14 days.

    137.        CDC has issued the following travel guidance related to COVID-19:

    138.        China — Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel — last updated February 22;

    139.        Japan — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — last updated February 22;

    140.        South Korea — Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions — issued February 22;

    141.        Hong Kong — Level 1, Practice Usual Precautions — issued February 19.

    142.        CDC also recommends that all travelers reconsider cruise ship voyages into or within Asia at this time.

    143.        CDC is issuing clinical guidance, including:

    144.        An interim Health Alert Network (HAN) Update to inform state and local health departments and healthcare professionals about this outbreak on February 1, 2020.

    145.        On January 30, 2020, CDC published guidance for healthcare professionals on the clinical care of  COVID-19 patients.

    146.        On February 3, 2020, CDC posted guidance for assessing the potential risk for various exposures to COVID-19 and managing those people appropriately.

    147.        CDC has deployed multidisciplinary teams to support state health departments with clinical management, contact tracing, and communications.

    148.        CDC has worked with the Department of State, supporting the safe return of Americans who have been stranded as a result of the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions.

    149.        CDC has worked to assess the health of passengers as they return to the United States and provided continued daily monitoring of people who are quarantined.

    150.        The article contains a picture of CDC’s laboratory test kit for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

    151.        CDC is shipping the test kits to laboratories CDC has designated as qualified, including U.S. state and local public health laboratories, Department of Defense (DOD) laboratories and select international laboratories.

    152.        The test kits are bolstering global laboratory capacity for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

    153.        CDC laboratories have supported the COVID-19 response, including:

    154.        CDC has developed a real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) test that can diagnose COVID-19 in respiratory samples from clinical specimens.

    155.        On January 24, 2020, CDC publicly posted the assay protocol for this test.

    156.        CDC has been uploading the entire genome of the viruses from reported cases in the United States to GenBank as sequencing was completed.

    157.        CDC has grown the COVID-19 virus in cell culture, which is necessary for further studies, including for additional genetic characterization.

    158.        The cell-grown virus was sent to NIH’s BEI Resources Repositoryexternal iconexternal icon for use by the broad scientific community.

    159.        CDC Recommends

    160.        While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

    161.        It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.

    162.        If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.

    163.        If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.

    164.        If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity.

    165.        Please follow instructions during this time.

    166.        Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus.

    167.        If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.

    168.        For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

    BARREL, the public and the media are rightly concerned about Corona Virus.

    Above are details regarding INFLUENZA AND THE CORONAVIRUS that may alleviate some of the worry and put the matter in a clearer perspective. 

    Bottom line, POTUS TRUMP perhaps ought to focus more resources on combatting INFLUENZA (FLU) while at the same time taking all precautions regarding the CORONAVIRUS.

    Was George Soros puppeteer during the Biden Obama administration? BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!


    1. PORK, do you think George Soros was the puppeteer during the Biden Obama administration and that Obama was the puppet?

    2. BARREL, I did notice today that Attorney Alan Dershowitz states categorically that George Soros told Obama to investigate someone yet to be revealed.

    https://m.facebook.com/Breitbart/posts/10164599422320354

    3. And I do know that a puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object [in this case an animate object person] called a puppet to create the illusion that the puppet is alive.

    DID NANCY PELOSI COMMIT A FELONY WHEN SHE RIPPED UP THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS? If so, should she be prosecuted? We report. You decide. BARREL & PORK.

    1. PORK, Nancy Pelosi mutilated the signed State of the Union address when she ripped it up.

    2. Did she commit a felony in doing so? 

    3. 18 U.S. Code § 2071.Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally [reads]

    ·       U.S. Code

     (a)

    Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

    Glenn Beck drops hydrogen bomb on democrats including Bidens and democrats. Claims they have been criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a proxy war against Russia and to enrich themselves. True or False? We report. You decide.

    (c) ™ 2016 -2020

    1. So BARREL, Glenn Beck dropped a hydrogen bomb on the democrats last night. Do you think Glenn Beck is right?

    2. Glenn Beck has opinions about many things.

    3. PORK, coming on the heals of total acquittal of POTUS TRUMP, Glenn dropped a hydrogen bomb on Joe and Hunter Biden and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other democrats last night, a bomb blast from which the democrat party likely will never recover if true.

    4. He showed us last night on his show a democrat Profile in Corruption that is a million times worse than Nixon’s Watergate ever hoped to be. 

    5. What Glenn showed us is what he says is evidence that Joe Biden and his son Hunter and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other high level state department and CIA and FBI government officials and non-government people including at least one oligarch from Ukraine have been participating in a corrupt secret criminal multi- billion dollar money laundering operation using our tax dollars at the very least through Burisma and an Oligarch in Ukraine and a Ukraine bank.

    6. BARREL, if that is true, that certainly is treason. It is high crimes and misdemeanor criminal activity and conduct. It is real obstruction of Congress. It is real abuse of power. Why on earth would the people Glenn mentioned do that?

    7. PORK, Glenn says these people have done so in secret and they are doing so in secret without congressional approval in order to buy arms and fund a secret Proxy War against Russia and in the process some of them and their family members and cronies have secretly personally gotten rich – see Profiles in Corruption – and at the same time serious amounts of these secretly laundered U.S. government funds. our tax dollars, have been secretly funneled back into the DNC and to democrat candidates and democrat campaigns.


    8. BARREL, this sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. If it is true though, if Glenn is correct, this explains so much.


    9. How so, PORK?


    10. BARREL, if this is true, it explains many if not all of the real reasons why the democrats from before his inauguration were bent on impeaching POTUS TRUMP and were and still are so over the top vociferous about Putin Russia collusion. 


    11. This is a far more reasonable explanation. It is not so much that they don’t like POTUS TRUMP, it is that they fear and indeed are terrified that he and AG Barr and John Durham and Rudy Giuliani and others know and are on to them.


    12. The anti-POTUS TRUMP media has focused our attention on the idea that all this impeachment is about the simple fact that Hillary lost the election. In hindsight, now, and if Glenn is correct, simple loss of an election is not the compelling reason for all the heat POTUS TRUMP and his family and the nation have been experiencing since POTUS TRUMP was elected. 


    13. If it is true that these people have been criminally laundering billion(s) of our hard earned tax money , fear, indeed the sheer terror, of getting caught criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a secret proxy war against Russia and enrich themselves and fund the DNC and democrat candidates is a far more compelling reason for all the still ongoing vitriol. If true, they are afraid and actually terrified because they have done wrong and committed treason and high crimes against America.


    14. I mean, if this is true and they are in fact secretly funding a proxy war against Russia can you even begin to quantify the unconstitutionality and the sheer stupidity and extreme risk to Americans and the world?

    15. If this is true, it explains why Joe Biden was giving Ukraine and a criminal Oligarch huge money and as this unravels it may be and begin to explain the real reason why POTUS OBAMA and Joe gave Iran billions during the month before they left office.

    16. If this is true, Glenn’s presentation begins to explain why Hunter Biden was involved on the board of Burisma the Oligarch company’s board. This is not just a simple story of a Vice President’s kid ending up in Ukraine on the board of a corrupt company Burisma owned by the same criminal Oligarch who received U.S. billions as part of the criminal money laundering scheme.

    17. If this is true, it explains why the DNC and Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and CIA people are so terrified and intent on accusing POTUS TRUMP of Russian collusion and why they impeached him. This suggests that they know about and even may have participated in the criminal money laundering thru Ukraine to fund the proxy war against Russia. They may have been participants and recipients. They are complicit if they knew. They are co-conspirators if they knew and took laundered U.S. money.

    18. If this is true, it may explain why POTUS Obama and Hillary have all but disappeared and been so quiet.

    19. If this is true, as the web unravels it may explain in part the millions if not billions funneled to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.

    20. If this is true, there are a number of highest level people who deserve to be wearing felony treason striped jump suits for many years to come. If true, this starts to explain Vinman and the Ukraine ambassador and Bolton.

    21. If this is true, it explains why Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats have been off the charts angry and fearful of POTUS TRUMP talking to Putin outside of their presence – beside themselves wanting to know what was said between the two men.

    22. If this is true, it does explain Vinman and John Bolton because they knew and participated. It likely even explains the Whistleblower. It likely explains Bolton’s firing. At the same time somebody ought to look into where Bernie Sanders got his millions.

    23. If this is true, it explains the true reasons for POTUS TRUMP’S Ukraine calls. If he was withholding aid at all, and hoping for an investigation, he would have been doing so in order to further document the secret criminal money laundering and secret criminal funding of a proxy war against Russia.

    24. If this is true, it [criminal money laundering] may also explain how and where Barack Obama got the funding to win the election and beat Romney and how other Senators and congress persons got and get their campaign funding. It may even explain how Bernie got so rich. And it may explain much of the media vitriol and fake news if the media network leadership knew where the multi-millions in advertising and PR money was coming from.

    25. If this is true, it may also tie back to George Soros and the globalist agenda.

    26. If this is true, this may also begin to explain why no-experience Hunter Biden got $1.5 billion from China. Glenn says he is going to explain this one next week. He and his team claim to have followed the money. Glenn claims he is going to tell us where the $1.5 billion from China went. I’m going to guess that the $1.5 billion was not hedge fund money at all.

    27. If this is true, it explains why Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and the Podestas and the DNC and other congress people and senators and why the anti-TRUMP media have pushed Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Quid Pro Quo, Bribery, and other charges against POTUS TRUMP.

    28. If this is true, it is once again on the part of the democrats a blatant case of Saul Alinsky 101 accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

    29. Yes, BARREL, and if this is true, if they have been criminally money laundering billions of our tax dollars to fund a criminal proxy war against Russia, Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham and AG Barr and John Durham and all of the media including those that have been anti-TRUMP for so long better double down and check out Glenn Beck’s hydrogen bomb presentation carefully and if true we can only hope they will stand up and be counted and bring those people who are responsible to justice. 


    30. PORK, I’ll bet POTUS TRUMP and AG Barr and John Durham already know all of this. AG Barr and Rudy Giuliani have flown to countries to get the facts. I can’t imagine that they do not already know all of this. Let’s see what they do about it. If true, hopefully they won’t wait too long to eliminate any thought of two-tiered justice.

    31. We report. You decide.

    Analysis Mitt Romney vote to remove POTUS TRUMP from office. BARREL & PORK.

    1. PORK, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s remarks and his voting for witnesses and his vote to remove POTUS TRUMP from office?

    2. You know, BARREL, I’m not willing to give Mitt a pass for doing so. I for one am not willing to allow him to use his religion to weasel out of accountability for having sided with the partisan democrats -because such is a disservice to his religion and a left handed disservice to all of his colleagues and their religions. Mitt says he voted for POTUS TRUMP’S removal from office as a matter of conscience (before God and his religion and his immediate family and grandchildren and the voters in Utah and the nation), and because he took an oath to render impartial justice, and for these reasons he is voting to remove POTUS TRUMP from office. Actually, those are Mitt’s excuses for Mitt’s conduct. At the heart of his argument is his one stated real reason for voting to remove POTUS TRUMP from office.

    3. Mitt’s stated real reason is that there is no reasonable doubt but what house managers made the case that POTUS TRUMP wrongfully asked a foreign nation to investigate a political rival and his son who did not commit crimes and that POTUS TRUMP wrongfully withheld military aid and by doing so POTUS TRUMP should be removed from office.

    4. So let’s see if that is true. Did the house managers in fact make their case beyond a reasonable doubt?  The answer is no they did not, no matter how many Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler generalities and “Trump will sell out Alaska to the Russians” histrionics and Mitt Romney anti-TRUMP votes might be presented to the Senate, and here is why.

    5. First, did 197 Republican House members and 1 Independent member have reasonable doubt about POTUS TRUMP’S guilt and vote before God, their religion, and their family, and their constituencies and the nation not to impeach POTUS TRUMP? Of course they did. To say otherwise defies logic. The House case brought to the Senate only by the democrats is partisan and a partisan impeachment on its face is filled with reasonable doubt. There is obvious reasonable doubt which demanded a vote of acquittal.

    6. Second, Mitt wrongfully says Joe and his son are not guilty of crimes; yet there is reasonable doubt as to Joe Biden’s and his son’s and his other family members’ “Profiles in Corruption” – i.e. their guilt or innocence of criminal activity including money laundering?  Of course there is. And criminal and Senate investigations are in order. Did Joe and his son corruptly receive a billion+ dollars from China knowing that Joe’s son only got the money because Joe was Vice President who wrongfully and corruptly directly or indirectly made arrangements with the Chinese? Did Joe’s son corruptly get (and keep) his lucrative million dollar job with Burisma because of Joe’s corruption? Looks like he did just that. At the same time there is more than reasonable doubt as to POTUS TRUMP’S communications with the Ukraine president [the Ukraine president testified there was no quid pro quo and no investigation of the Bidens and no withholding of funding]. Yet we have Joe admitting on camera while laughing that he in fact corruptly withheld funding to the Ukraine in order to remove a prosecutor looking into Burisma, a corrupt company with Joe’s son on its board. Did Joe corruptly and criminally misuse his office to enrich himself, his son, his brother and other family members and others? (Peter Sweizer says in his investigative book Profiles in Corruption that he did. The counsel for POTUS TRUMP says Joe corruptly misused his office.) Once more there is reasonable doubt which demanded a vote of acquittal.  

    7. Third, did Adam Schiff lie multiple times about POTUS TRUMP during the hearings and gerrymander the hearings to preclude Republican participation? Of course he did. Do Adam Schiff’s lies and star chamber hearings cause reasonable doubt? Of course they do. Once again there is obvious reasonable doubt which demanded a vote of acquittal.

    8. Fourth, do the letters from POTUS TRUMP leave us with reasonable doubt as to POTUS TRUMP’S intent? Of course they do. [Keep in mind that there is no way you can prove mal-intent on the part of POTUS TRUMP from the letters even though the Whistleblower claimed as much until POTUS TRUMP released the letters.] Most importantly, the president of Ukraine testifies that there was and is no wrongdoing, again no quid pro quo, no withholding of aid or Javelins, no compulsion to investigate anyone. Does the Ukraine President’s testimony on multiple occasions not create reasonable doubt? Of course it does. There is reasonable doubt which demanded aquittal.

    9. Fifth, John Bolton was fired and is writing a book and other witnesses are under criminal prosecution and John Bolton refused to testify in the House and refused to sign an Affidavit to be used by the Schiff group in the Senate hearings. And then we have the whistleblowers and their motives and their veracity and their relationship with Adam Schiff and Adam Shift’s staff all of which has been kept secret from the House and Senate. Is not this highly suspect? Of course it is. There is obvious reasonable doubt about such testimony.

    10. Sixth, we come to the Constitutional nature of impeachment and the fact that this was a partisan impeachment. Does that in and of itself create reasonable doubt? Of course it does. Once again, a partisan impeachment was not contemplated by the Framers and is laden with reasonable doubt. So again there is obvious reasonable doubt which easily demanded a vote of acquittal.

    11. Seventh, we ask a practical question. Given all of the above reasonable doubt, would Mitt’s constituency and Mitt’s party want Mitt siding with the partisan democrats to vote to remove POTUS TRUMP who has done more to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than any past POTUS except Lincoln and Washington? No they would not want such. In fact, Mitt ran on a promise that he would support POTUS TRUMP and there is a good argument that he has now betrayed his constituency in Utah. Yet, Mitt sidesteps responsibility by weeping and claiming that he voted his religion and conscience. Although he may have conferred with his conscience, it looks like Mitt went it alone without counselors. There is no hint from Mitt that he conferred with Mitch McConnell or his party leaders or his constituency in any way shape or form.

    12. So PORK, having made the case for reasonable doubt, what is your bottom line take about Mitt Romney and his vote to remove POTUS TRUMP from office? Mitt says he voted with POTUS TRUMP 80% of the time, doesn’t that give Mitt a pass?

    13. No, BARREL, Mitt does not get a pass by weeping and using the argument that he voted his conscience before God, family, the state, and the nation. Nor does he get a pass by using the argument that he voted with POTUS TRUMP 80% of the time. Given Mitt’s documented antipathy toward POTUS TRUMP, it is common sense that there is reasonable doubt as to why Mitt voted against POTUS TRUMP 20% of the time.

    14. Bottom line is this. Mitt did not do his homework and think this matter through. He did not listen to his republican colleagues, did not pay attention to and take into account the partisan rigged House impeachment proceedings, did not confer in any way with his constituency, and either does not understand or willfully refused to acknowledge the concept of reasonable doubt which demanded a vote for acquittal. Mitt either does not understand or willfully refused to acknowledge the fact that Adam Schiff lied multiple times and conducted Star Chamber partisan proceedings all of which created reasonable doubt which reasonable doubt demanded a Senate vote for acquittal on all charges and counts.

    15. One more time, the Star Chamber impeachment partisan proceedings carried out by Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi in the House on their face provide more than enough evidence of reasonable doubt and such overwhelming reasonable doubt demanded a vote for acquittal from and by all republican and democrat Senators.

    16. So PORK, should someone in Utah start a recall petition? I understand legislation has been proposed in Utah that will allow impeachment and recall of a Senator.

    17. Yes, I believe so, BARREL. Paraphrasing, Mitt said he expects negative nuclear extreme fallout from his decision. Given the overwhelming evidence of reasonable doubt which demanded a vote of acquittal, given the partisan nature of the impeachment activities, and the other reasons set forth above, that negative nuclear extreme fallout probably should include a vote on the part of Mitt’s constituency back in Utah for witnesses and a serious vote by the people of Utah to impeach and remove Mitt from office.

    18. As a parting hard shot, PORK, and assuming the Utah voters do not recall him for whatever reason. I believe Mitt has a JD degree from Harvard. Mitt may want to learn from this experience never again to use his religion and conscience as reasons for a political decision. Instead, he may want to stand up and be counted and think the matter through like a man and the Supreme Court Justice he probably will not now become and render his reasoned decision based on the facts and the law.

    POTUS TRUMP’S MASTERPIECE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS FEBRUARY 4TH 2020

    1.       BARREL, here is POTUS TRUMP’S FEBRUARY 4TH 2020 STATE OF THE UNION speech.

    2.       Thanks, PORK. It is a masterpiece. 

          POTUS TRUMP has kept more promises and done more for us BLACKS, WHITES, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIANS, HISPANICS to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than any other POTUS except Lincoln and Washington.                                                                                                              

    3.       Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow citizens:

    4.       Three years ago, we launched the great American comeback. Tonight, I stand before you to share the incredible results. Jobs are booming, incomes are soaring, poverty is plummeting, crime is falling, confidence is surging, and our country is thriving and highly respected again! America’s enemies are on the run, America’s fortunes are on the rise, and America’s future is blazing bright.

    5.       The years of economic decay are over. The days of our country being used, taken advantage of, and even scorned by other nations are long behind us. Gone too are the broken promises, jobless recoveries, tired platitudes, and constant excuses for the depletion of American wealth, power, and prestige.

    6.       In just 3 short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline, and we have rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny. We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back!

    7.       I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been. Our military is completely rebuilt, with its power being unmatched anywhere in the world — and it is not even close. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Our pride is restored. And for all these reasons, I say to the people of our great country, and to the Members of Congress before me: The State of our Union is stronger than ever before!

    8.       The vision I will lay out this evening demonstrates how we are building the world’s most prosperous and inclusive society — one where every citizen can join in America’s unparalleled success, and where every community can take part in America’s extraordinary rise.

    9.       From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the United States economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations, enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts, and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade agreements. Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American. We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting high our citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed.

    10.   Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs — 5 million more than Government experts projected during the previous administration.

    11.   The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century.

    12.   Incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my Administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country. If we had not reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witness to America’s great economic success.

    13.   The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans have reached the lowest levels in history. African-American youth unemployment has reached an all-time low.

    14.   African-American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded.

    15.   The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years — and last year, women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added.

    16.   The veterans’ unemployment rate dropped to a record low.

    17.   The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all-time low.

    18.   Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in United States history.

    19.   A record number of young Americans are now employed.

    20.   Under the last administration, more than 10 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Under my Administration, 7 million Americans have come off of food stamps, and 10 million people have been lifted off of welfare.

    21.   In 8 years under the last administration, over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce. In just 3 years of my Administration, 3.5 million working-age people have joined the workforce.

    22.   Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage-earners has increased by 47 percent — 3 times faster than the increase for the top 1 percent. After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast — and, wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers, who have seen a 16 percent pay-increase since my election. This is a blue collar boom.

    23.   Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded!

    24.   Since my election, United States stock markets have soared 70 percent, adding more than $12 trillion to our Nation’s wealth, transcending anything anyone believed was possible — this, as other countries are not doing well. Consumer confidence has reached amazing new heights.

    25.   All of those millions of people with 401(k)s and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60, 70, 80, 90, and even 100 percent.

    26.   Jobs and investment are pouring into 9,000 previously-neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones, a plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts. In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that have not seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement. This is the first time that these deserving communities have seen anything like this. It is all working!

    27.   Opportunity Zones are helping Americans like Army Veteran Tony Rankins from Cincinnati, Ohio. After struggling with drug addiction, Tony lost his job, his house, and his family — he was homeless. But then Tony found a construction company that invests in Opportunity Zones. He is now a top tradesman, drug-free, reunited with his family, and he is here tonight. Tony: Keep up the great work.

    28.   Our roaring economy has, for the first time ever, given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start. This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark Criminal Justice Reform into law. Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done.

    29.   Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far. With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high. We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago.

    30.   Likewise, we are restoring our Nation’s manufacturing might, even though predictions were that this could never be done. After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my Administration with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built. We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs. Companies are not leaving; they are coming back. Everybody wants to be where the action is, and the United States of America is, indeed, where the action is.

    31.   One of the single biggest promises I made to the American people was to replace the disastrous NAFTA trade deal. In fact, unfair trade is perhaps the single biggest reason that I decided to run for President. Following NAFTA’s adoption, our Nation lost one in four manufacturing jobs. Many politicians came and went, pledging to change or replace NAFTA — only to do absolutely nothing. But unlike so many who came before me, I keep my promises. Six days ago, I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) into law.

    32.   The USMCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs, and massively boost exports for our farmers, ranchers, and factory workers. It will also bring trade with Mexico and Canada to a much higher degree, but also to a much greater level of fairness and reciprocity. This is the first major trade deal in many years to earn the strong backing of America’s labor unions.

    33.   I also promised our citizens that I would impose tariffs to confront China’s massive theft of American jobs. Our strategy worked. Days ago, we signed the groundbreaking new agreement with China that will defend our workers, protect our intellectual property, bring billions of dollars into our treasury, and open vast new markets for products made and grown right here in the United States of America. For decades, China has taken advantage of the United States, now we have changed that but, at the same time, we have perhaps the best relationship we have ever had with China, including with President Xi. They respect what we have done because, quite frankly, they could never believe what they were able to get away with year after year, decade after decade, without someone in our country stepping up and saying: Enough. Now, we want to rebuild our country, and that is what we are doing.

    34.   As we restore American leadership throughout the world, we are once again standing up for freedom in our hemisphere. That is why my Administration reversed the failing policies of the previous administration on Cuba. We are supporting the hopes of Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to restore democracy. The United States is leading a 59-nation diplomatic coalition against the socialist dictator of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Maduro is an illegitimate ruler, a tyrant who brutalizes his people. But Maduro’s grip of tyranny will be smashed and broken. Here this evening is a man who carries with him the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of all Venezuelans. Joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate President of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó. Mr. President, please take this message back to your homeland. All Americans are united with the Venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom! Socialism destroys nations. But always remember, freedom unifies the soul.

    35.   To safeguard American Liberty, we have invested a record-breaking $2.2 trillion in the United States Military. We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships, and every other form of military equipment — all made in the United States of America. We are also finally getting our allies to help pay their fair share. I have raised contributions from the other NATO members by more than $400 billion, and the number of allies meeting their minimum obligations has more than doubled.

    36.   And just weeks ago, for the first time since President Truman established the Air Force more than 70 years earlier, we created a new branch of the United States Armed Forces, the Space Force.

    37.   In the gallery tonight, we have one of the Space Force’s youngest potential recruits: 13-year-old Iain Lanphier, an eighth grader from Arizona. Iain has always dreamed of going to space. He was first in his class and among the youngest at an aviation academy. He aspires to go to the Air Force Academy, and then, he has his eye on the Space Force. As Iain says, “most people look up at space, I want to look down on the world.”

    38.   Sitting beside Iain tonight is his great hero. Charles McGee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, one century ago. Charles is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen — the first black fighter pilots — and he also happens to be Iain’s great-grandfather. After more than 130 combat missions in World War II, he came back to a country still struggling for Civil Rights and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam. On December 7th, Charles celebrated his 100th birthday. A few weeks ago, I signed a bill promoting Charles McGee to Brigadier General. And earlier today, I pinned the stars on his shoulders in the Oval Office. General McGee: Our Nation salutes you.

    39.   From the pilgrims to our Founders, from the soldiers at Valley Forge to the marchers at Selma, and from President Lincoln to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans have always rejected limits on our children’s future.

    40.   Members of Congress, we must never forget that the only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people. The people are the heart of our country, their dreams are the soul of our country, and their love is what powers and sustains our country. We must always remember that our job is to put America first!

    41.   The next step forward in building an inclusive society is making sure that every young American gets a great education and the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Yet, for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools. To rescue these students, 18 States have created school choice in the form of Opportunity Scholarships. The programs are so popular, that tens of thousands of students remain on waiting lists. One of those students is Janiyah Davis, a fourth grader from Philadelphia. Janiyah’s mom Stephanie is a single parent. She would do anything to give her daughter a better future. But last year, that future was put further out of reach when Pennsylvania’s Governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice for 50,000 children.

    42.   Janiyah and Stephanie are in the gallery this evening. But there is more to their story. Janiyah, I am pleased to inform you that your long wait is over. I can proudly announce tonight that an Opportunity Scholarship has become available, it is going to you, and you will soon be heading to the school of your choice!

    43.   Now, I call on the Congress to give 1 million American children the same opportunity Janiyah has just received. Pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act — because no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school.

    44.   Every young person should have a safe and secure environment in which to learn and grow. For this reason, our magnificent First Lady has launched the “Be Best” initiative — to advance a safe, healthy, supportive, and drug-free life for the next generation, online, in school, and in our communities. Thank you, Melania, for your extraordinary love and profound care for America’s children.

    45.   My Administration is determined to give our citizens the opportunities they need regardless of age or background. Through our Pledge to American Workers, over 400 companies will also provide new jobs and education opportunities to almost 15 million Americans.

    46.   My Budget also contains an exciting vision for our Nation’s high schools. Tonight, I ask the Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America.

    47.   To expand equal opportunity, I am also proud that we achieved record and permanent funding for our Nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

    48.   A good life for American families also requires the most affordable, innovative, and high-quality healthcare system on Earth. Before I took office, health insurance premiums had more than doubled in just 5 years. I moved quickly to provide affordable alternatives. Our new plans are up to 60 percent less expensive. I have also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions — that is a guarantee. And we will always protect your Medicare and your Social Security.

    49.   The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills. That is why I signed an Executive Order requiring price transparency. Many experts believe that transparency, which will go into full effect at the beginning of next year, will be even bigger than healthcare reform. It will save families massive amounts of money for substantially better care.

    50.   But as we work to improve Americans’ healthcare, there are those who want to take away your healthcare, take away your doctor, and abolish private insurance entirely. One hundred thirty-two lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our healthcare system, wiping out the private health insurance plans of 180 million Americans. To those watching at home tonight, I want you to know: We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare!

    51.   Over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our Nation by providing free taxpayer-funded healthcare to millions of illegal aliens, forcing taxpayers to subsidize free care for anyone in the world who unlawfully crosses our borders. These proposals would raid the Medicare benefits our seniors depend on, while acting as a powerful lure for illegal immigration. This is what is happening in California and other States — their systems are totally out of control, costing taxpayers vast and unaffordable amounts of money. If forcing American taxpayers to provide unlimited free healthcare to illegal aliens sounds fair to you, then stand with the radical left. But if you believe that we should defend American patients and American seniors, then stand with me and pass legislation to prohibit free Government healthcare for illegal aliens!

    52.   This will be a tremendous boon to our already very-strongly guarded southern border where, as we speak, a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built. We have now completed over 100 miles and will have over 500 miles fully completed by early next year.

    53.   My Administration is also taking on the big pharmaceutical companies. We have approved a record number of affordable generic drugs, and medicines are being approved by the FDA at a faster clip than ever before. I was pleased to announce last year that, for the first time in 51 years, the cost of prescription drugs actually went down.

    54.   And working together, the Congress can reduce drug prices substantially from current levels. I have been speaking to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and others in the Congress in order to get something on drug pricing done, and done properly. I am calling for bipartisan legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering prescription drug prices. Get a bill to my desk, and I will sign it into law without delay.

    55.   With unyielding commitment, we are curbing the opioid epidemic — drug overdose deaths declined for the first time in nearly 30 years. Among the States hardest hit, Ohio is down 22 percent, Pennsylvania is down 18 percent, Wisconsin is down 10 percent — and we will not quit until we have beaten the opioid epidemic once and for all.

    56.   Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the Coronavirus outbreak in China. My Administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.

    57.   We have launched ambitious new initiatives to substantially improve care for Americans with kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and those struggling with mental health challenges. And because the Congress funded my request, we are pursuing new cures for childhood cancer, and we will eradicate the AIDS epidemic in America by the end of the decade.

    58.   Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country. Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our Nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I will now ask the First Lady of the United States to please stand and present you with the honor. Rush, Kathryn, congratulations!

    59.   As we pray for all who are sick, we know that America is constantly achieving new medical breakthroughs. In 2017, doctors at St. Luke’s hospital in Kansas City delivered one of the earliest premature babies ever to survive. Born at just 21 weeks and 6 days, and weighing less than a pound, Ellie Schneider was born a fighter. Through the skill of her doctors — and the prayers of her parents — little Ellie kept on winning the battle for life. Today, Ellie is a strong, healthy 2-year-old girl sitting with her amazing mother Robin in the gallery. Ellie and Robin: We are so glad you are here.

    60.   Ellie reminds us that every child is a miracle of life. Thanks to modern medical wonders, 50 percent of very premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive. Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the best chance to thrive and grow just like Ellie. That is why I am asking the Congress to provide an additional $50 million to fund neo-natal research for America’s youngest patients. That is also why I am calling upon the Members of Congress here tonight to pass legislation finally banning the late-term abortion of babies.

    61.   Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God!

    62.   As we support America’s moms and dads, I was recently proud to sign the law providing new parents in the Federal workforce paid family leave, serving as a model for the rest of the country. Now, I call on the Congress to pass the bipartisan Advancing Support for Working Families Act, extending family leave to mothers and fathers all across the Nation.

    63.   Forty million American families have an average $2,200 extra thanks to our child tax credit. I have also overseen historic funding increases for high-quality child care, enabling 17 States to serve more children, many of which have reduced or eliminated their waitlists altogether. And I sent the Congress a plan with a vision to further expand access to high-quality childcare and urge you to act immediately.

    64.   To protect the environment, days ago, I announced that the United States will join the One Trillion Trees Initiative, an ambitious effort to bring together Government and the private sector to plant new trees in America and around the world.

    65.   We must also rebuild America’s infrastructure. I ask you to pass Senator Barrasso’s highway bill — to invest in new roads, bridges, and tunnels across our land.

    66.   I am also committed to ensuring that every citizen can have access to high-speed internet, including rural America.

    67.   A better tomorrow for all Americans also requires us to keep America safe. That means supporting the men and women of law enforcement at every level, including our Nation’s heroic ICE officers.

    68.   Last year, our brave ICE officers arrested more than 120,000 criminal aliens charged with nearly 10,000 burglaries, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 violent assaults, and 2,000 murders.

    69.   Tragically, there are many cities in America where radical politicians have chosen to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegal aliens. In Sanctuary Cities, local officials order police to release dangerous criminal aliens to prey upon the public, instead of handing them over to ICE to be safely removed.

    70.   Just 29 days ago, a criminal alien freed by the Sanctuary City of New York was charged with the brutal rape and murder of a 92-year-old woman. The killer had been previously arrested for assault, but under New York’s sanctuary policies, he was set free. If the city had honored ICE’s detainer request, his victim would be alive today.

    71.   The State of California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole State to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants — with catastrophic results.

    72.   Here is just one tragic example. In December 2018, California police detained an illegal alien with five prior arrests, including convictions for robbery and assault. But as required by California’s Sanctuary Law, local authorities released him.

    73.   Days later, the criminal alien went on a gruesome spree of deadly violence. He viciously shot one man going about his daily work; he approached a woman sitting in her car and shot her in the arm and the chest. He walked into a convenience store and wildly fired his weapon. He hijacked a truck and smashed into vehicles, critically injuring innocent victims. One of the victims of his bloody rampage was a 51-year-old American named Rocky Jones. Rocky was at a gas station when this vile criminal fired eight bullets at him from close range, murdering him in cold blood. Rocky left behind a devoted family, including his brothers who loved him more than anything. One of his grieving brothers is here with us tonight. Jody, would you please stand? Jody, our hearts weep for your loss — and we will not rest until you have justice.

    74.   Senator Thom Tillis has introduced legislation to allow Americans like Jody to sue Sanctuary Cities and States when a loved one is hurt or killed as a result of these deadly policies. I ask the Congress to pass the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act immediately. The United States of America should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans — not criminal aliens!

    75.   In the last 3 years, ICE has arrested over 5,000 wicked human traffickers — and I have signed 9 pieces of legislation to stamp out the menace of human trafficking, domestically and around the globe.

    76.   My Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to secure the southern border of the United States.

    77.   Before I came into office, if you showed up illegally on our southern border and were arrested, you were simply released and allowed into our country, never to be seen again. My Administration has ended Catch-and-Release. If you come illegally, you will now be promptly removed. We entered into historic cooperation agreements with the Governments of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. As a result of our unprecedented efforts, illegal crossings are down 75 percent since May — dropping 8 straight months in a row. And as the wall goes up, drug seizures rise, and border crossings go down.

    78.   Last year, I traveled to the border in Texas and met Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz. Over the last 24 months, Agent Ortiz and his team have seized more than 200,000 pounds of poisonous narcotics, arrested more than 3,000 human smugglers, and rescued more than 2,000 migrants. Days ago, Agent Ortiz was promoted to Deputy Chief of Border Patrol — and he joins us tonight. Chief Ortiz: Please stand — a grateful Nation thanks you and all the heroes of Border Patrol.

    79.   To build on these historic gains, we are working on legislation to replace our outdated and randomized immigration system with one based on merit, welcoming those who follow the rules, contribute to our economy, support themselves financially, and uphold our values.

    80.   With every action, my Administration is restoring the rule of law and re-asserting the culture of American freedom. Working with Senate Majority Leader McConnell and his colleagues in the Senate, we have confirmed a record number of 187 new Federal judges to uphold our Constitution as written. This includes two brilliant new Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

    81.   My Administration is also defending religious liberty, and that includes the Constitutional right to pray in public schools. In America, we do not punish prayer. We do not tear down crosses. We do not ban symbols of faith. We do not muzzle preachers and pastors. In America, we celebrate faith. We cherish religion. We lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the Glory of God!

    82.   Just as we believe in the First Amendment, we also believe in another Constitutional right that is under siege all across our country. So long as I am President I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

    83.   In reaffirming our heritage as a free Nation, we must remember that America has always been a frontier nation. Now we must embrace the next frontier, America’s manifest destiny in the stars. I am asking the Congress to fully fund the Artemis program to ensure that the next man and the first woman on the moon will be American astronauts — using this as a launching pad to ensure that America is the first nation to plant its flag on Mars.

    84.   My Administration is also strongly defending our national security and combating radical Islamic terrorism. Last week, I announced a groundbreaking plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Recognizing that all past attempts have failed, we must be determined and creative in order to stabilize the region and give millions of young people the change to realize a better future.

    85.   Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria. Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100 percent destroyed, and the founder and leader of ISIS — the bloodthirsty killer Al‑Baghdadi — is dead!

    86.   We are joined this evening by Carl and Marsha Mueller. After graduating from college, their beautiful daughter Kayla became a humanitarian aid worker. Kayla once wrote, “Some people find God in church. Some people find God in nature. Some people find God in love; I find God in suffering. I’ve known for some time what my life’s work is, using my hands as tools to relieve suffering.” In 2013, while caring for suffering civilians in Syria, Kayla was kidnapped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS, and kept as a prisoner of Al-Baghdadi himself. After more than 500 horrifying days of captivity, Al-Baghdadi murdered young Kayla. She was just 26 years old.

    87.   On the night that United States Special Forces Operators ended Al‑Baghdadi’s miserable life, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, received a call in the Situation Room. He was told that the brave men of the elite Special Forces team, that so perfectly carried out the operation, had given their mission a name — “Task Force 8-14.” It was a reference to a special day: August 14th — Kayla’s birthday. Carl and Marsha, America’s warriors never forgot Kayla — and neither will we.

    88.   Every day, America’s men and women in uniform demonstrate the infinite depths of love that dwells in the human heart.

    89.   One of these American heroes was Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake. On his second deployment to Iraq in 2008, Sergeant Hake wrote a letter to his 1-year-old son, Gage: “I will be with you again,” he wrote to Gage. “I will teach you to ride your first bike, build your first sand box, watch you play sports and see you have kids also. I love you son, take care of your mother. I am always with you. Dad.” On Easter Sunday of 2008, Chris was out on patrol in Baghdad when his Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. That night, he made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Sergeant Hake now rests in eternal glory in Arlington, and his wife Kelli is in the gallery tonight, joined by their son, who is now 13 years old. To Kelli and Gage: Chris will live in our hearts forever.

    90.   The terrorist responsible for killing Sergeant Hake was Qasem Soleimani, who provided the deadly roadside bomb that took Chris’s life. Soleimani was the Iranian Regime’s most ruthless butcher, a monster who murdered or wounded thousands of American service members in Iraq. As the world’s top terrorist, Soleimani orchestrated the deaths of countless men, women, and children. He directed the December assault on United States Forces in Iraq, and was actively planning new attacks. That is why, last month, at my direction, the United States Military executed a flawless precision strike that killed Soleimani and terminated his evil reign of terror forever.

    91.   Our message to the terrorists is clear: You will never escape American justice. If you attack our citizens, you forfeit your life!

    92.   In recent months, we have seen proud Iranians raise their voices against their oppressive rulers. The Iranian regime must abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons, stop spreading terror, death, and destruction, and start working for the good of its own people. Because of our powerful sanctions, the Iranian economy is doing very poorly. We can help them make it very good in a short period of time, but perhaps they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that help. We are here. Let’s see which road they choose. It is totally up to them.

    93.   As we defend American lives, we are working to end America’s wars in the Middle East.

    94.   In Afghanistan, the determination and valor of our warfighters has allowed us to make tremendous progress, and peace talks are underway. I am not looking to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan, many of them innocent. It is also not our function to serve other nations as a law enforcement agency. These are warfighters, the best in the world, and they either want to fight to win or not fight at all. We are working to finally end America’s longest war and bring our troops back home!

    95.   War places a heavy burden on our Nation’s extraordinary military families, especially spouses like Amy Williams from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and her 2 children — 6-year-old Elliana and 3-year-old Rowan. Amy works full time, and volunteers countless hours helping other military families. For the past 7 months, she has done it all while her husband, Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, is in Afghanistan on his fourth deployment to the Middle East. Amy’s kids have not seen their father’s face in many months. Amy, your family’s sacrifice makes it possible for all of our families to live in safety and peace — we thank you.

    96.   As the world bears witness tonight, America is a land of heroes. This is the place where greatness is born, where destinies are forged, and where legends come to life. This is the home of Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt, of many great Generals, including Washington, Pershing, Patton, and MacArthur. This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more. This is the country where children learn names like Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and Annie Oakley. This is the place where the pilgrims landed at Plymouth and where Texas patriots made their last stand at the Alamo.

    97.   The American Nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the toughest, strongest, fiercest, and most determined men and women ever to walk the face of the Earth. Our ancestors braved the unknown; tamed the wilderness; settled the Wild West; lifted millions from poverty, disease, and hunger; vanquished tyranny and fascism; ushered the world to new heights of science and medicine; laid down the railroads, dug out canals, raised up the skyscrapers — and, ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors built the most exceptional Republic ever to exist in all of human history. And we are making it greater than ever before!

    98.   This is our glorious and magnificent inheritance.

    99.   We are Americans. We are the pioneers. We are the pathfinders. We settled the new world, we built the modern world, and we changed history forever by embracing the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of Almighty God.

    100.           America is the place where anything can happen! America is the place where anyone can rise. And here, on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the most incredible dreams come true!

    101.           This Nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored.

    Mitt Romney? BARREL & PORK.

    So what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses and to convict? BARREL & PORK.

    1. So PORK, what do you think of Mitt Romney’s vote for witnesses and vote to convict?

    2. Well, BARREL, I think Mitt Romney is an interesting study in human nature.

    3. How so, PORK.

    4. BARREL, Mitt is handsome. He is smart. He is well dressed in his navy suit. He has held significant offices. He is straight laced. He ran for POTUS. He gives every appearance of having a strong religious moral compass. Notwithstanding, and I could be wrong, it does look like Mitt has a tragic fatal flaw.

    5. What is a tragic fatal flaw, PORK?

    6. Well, BARREL, a tragic fatal flaw is what is called hamartia or hamartanein, which means “to err.”

    7. A tragic fatal flaw is a fatal personality deficiency that ultimately leads to the loss of influence and the downfall of the tragic hero.

    8. This hamartia, this fatal flaw, fault, failure, guilt, is revealed in Greek tragedy by what the protagonist does and what he or she says.

    9. This tragic flaw can be traits like ambition, cowardice, over-protectiveness, or self-sacrifice.

    10. Actually, this tragic fatal flaw may be many different character traits if they become responsible for failure, self or other destruction, or death.

    11. In a nutshell, a tragic fatal flaw is a character defect that leads to a person’s marginalization, self-destruction, and downfall.

    12. Lack of self-knowledge or awareness, lack of good judgment are tragic fatal flaws; but most often hubris or pride  provides the seedbed for or is in fact the core tragic fatal flaw.

    13. So how does this work, PORK?

    14.  Well, BARREL, there are a number of persons with tragic fatal flaws in biblical accounts – people like David and Solomon and Saul and Judas had tragic fatal flaws. And there are those with tragic fatal flaws in the pages of fiction. Think for example about Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

    15. One of Hamlet’s tragic fatal flaws is indecisiveness which is seen in his thinking about whether vengeance is wrong or right. This “back and forth nature” has a great deal to do with Hamlet’s ultimate downfall.

    16. Hamlet wavers back and forth: “To be, or not to be – that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep … No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep …”

    10. Goethe’s Dr. Faustus’ tragic flaw is his overwhelming ambition which leads to what has come to be called his Faustian bargain with the Devil.

    11. Because Faust was so ambitious, wanting unlimited knowledge and unlimited pleasures, he made a contract with Satan and sold his soul for short term gains – for the proverbial mess of pottage.

    12. Finally, when Faust’s soul is taken to hell, Faust realizes his sin, tries to repent, but it was too late. Lucifer, the ruler of hell under Cain, had encircled Faust with his chains. Lucifer subjected Faust to his diabolical control.

    11. We have Othello who killed his faithful Desdemona and having self-destructed kills himself. Othello was possessed by the tragic fatal flaw of jealousy.

    12. And of course you know Sophocle’s Oedipus the King lacked humility. Oedipus was beset with pride which was his tragic fatal flaw.

    13. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, prideful John Proctor goes to his death because of his pride.

    14. So what you are saying, PORK, is that Mitt Romney has a tragic fatal flaw despite the fact that he was elected governor and senator and has millions in Switzerland and a beautiful family.

    15. What is it, PORK? What is Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw?

    16. You know, BARREL, I do not think I am wrong although I certainly could be wrong.

    17.  I think Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw is best identified and defined by how Mitt treated and treats POTUS TRUMP. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw may be defined by an analysis of Mitt’s election loss contrasted with POTUS TRUMP’S election win but I think that approach may be superficial. Mitt appears to have the same prideful tragic fatal flaw possessed by Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

    18. Remember these facts which were all over the newspapers, tabloids, television and radio.

    19. Remember that Mitt asked POTUS TRUMP to support him when Mitt ran for POTUS.

    20. If I’ve got my facts right, Mitt and his wife dined with POTUS TRUMP, schmoozed POTUS TRUMP and Melania, and POTUS TRUMP graciously and with largeness of soul gave Mitt his unwavering support.

    21. Juxtapose when POTUS TRUMP ran for office and POTUS TRUMP asked Mitt for his support.

    22. Mitt refused to give POTUS TRUMP his unwavering support. In fact, Mitt trashed POTUS TRUMP and has continued to trash POTUS TRUMP repeatedly.

    23. So I think this may well say it all. It is no wonder POTUS TRUMP did not take Mitt into his cabinet.

    24. More precisely, Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his violation and continued violation of the American, indeed world-wide, honor code of reciprocity.

    25. Today in the partisan democrat driven Senate trial, given Mitt’s vocal call for witnesses, and Mitt’s leaning toward voting against POTUS TRUMP, it would appear that Mitt egotistically and jealously and with enmity and ill will is doing the same thing again to POTUS TRUMP.

    16. So PORK, are you just saying that Mitt was willing to take but unwilling to give? Are you just saying that Harvard Bain Capital millionaire Mitt felt pridefully entitled to Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP’S support because Mitt believed he was one of the moral and financial and elected elite? Are you saying that it appears that Harvard Bain Capital Mitt thinks he is so much “better than Builder Entrepreneur billionaire POTUS TRUMP?”

    17. Yes, BARREL. I think that says it well. Recognizing and admitting the perils of judging, and acknowledging that I could be wrong, Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his pride and lack of humility. It appears to those of us watching from the sidelines that at the heart of this matter, Mitt’s conduct in reality is not based on moral principle; instead it is Mitt’s continuing failure to care for and love POTUS TRUMP and his family despite their perceived frailties. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be his ongoing failure to embrace POTUS TRUMP and his family as well POTUS TRUMP’S election win. Mitt’s tragic fatal flaw appears to be an unceasing enmity and antipathy toward POTUS TRUMP because of who Mitt Romney judges POTUS TRUMP and his family to be. This same conclusion is true of Adam and Jerry and Chuck and Nancy. Their impeachment is driven not be a search for truth, although methinks they profess the same vociferously, rather their impeachment activities are driven by enmity which is to say hatred of POTUS TRUMP because of who they perceive him to be.

    18. Said another way, it appears to us deplorables that Harvard Bain Capital Mitt apparently thought and it looks like he still thinks he was and is somehow better than POTUS TRUMP and that he Harvard Bain Capital Mitt was robbed of the presidency and that he Mitt is deserving of POTUS TRUMP’S support. At the same time Harvard Bain Capital Mitt appears to believe that POTUS TRUMP for whatever reason did not and does not rise to Mitt’s high standard as being worthy and deserving of Mitt’s support or for that matter worthy of being POTUS. Not as an aside, and this is only one illustration, what Mitt is apparently unwilling to recognize is that POTUS TRUMP attended Kew-Forest School, Fordham University, New York Military Academy, and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania not Harvard. POTUS TRUMP comes to the presidency from the hard knocks life of Architecture and Construction. POTUS TRUMP comes from the hard knocks life dealing with media people as well. If I’m not mistaken, POTUS TRUMP, Warren Buffett, Ivanka Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Lynch, Jon Huntsman Sr, are but a few of Wharton’s distinguished alumni. And I think Penn has produced the most billionaires on Forbe’s 400 Richest List – more than Harvard – if I am not mistaken. And I do believe POTUS TRUMP pulled off The Apprentice as one of the highest rated television shows ever. For anyone with a smattering of experience in broadcasting and other media, such took genius of the highest order, a level of genius POTUS Obama will not begin to reach with Netflix and Mitt did not reach at Bain. Then of course there is the amazing, admirable, now legendary come from behind unexpected presidency genius win by POTUS TRUMP, a win Mitt was unable to pull off.

    19. So is there reconciliation between the two men PORK? And if so, how so PORK?

    20.Sure, BARREL. There can be reconciliation but such reconciliation is more than likely not on POTUS TRUMP’S side of the ledger. He is POTUS. Mitt is not, No matter how much Mitt wants to be.

    21. I mean, look at it, BARREL. It is probably as simple as this. POTUS TRUMP graciously offered Mitt his support. And Mitt appears to have judged POTUS TRUMP as unworthy and so refused to reciprocate.

    22. Keep in mind, BARREL, POTUS TRUMP has gone on to keep more political promises and do more for the American people than any president since Lincoln and before him Washington. In no way can Mitt as Massachusett’s governor match POTUS TRUMP’S performance.

    23. Seems to me that Mitt may be well advised to swallow his pride and shake hands with POTUS TRUMP and say “I’m sorry. I have been a jerk. I have not reciprocated” and thereby quickly and whole heartedly jump on the POTUS TRUMP band wagon and campaign and labor diligently to help POTUS TRUMP and the Republicans succeed in a second term, rather than kowtowing to Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the partisan democrats. Why? Because any bargain by Mitt with or that rewards the partisan impeachment democrats is Faustian at best and the end result is more than likely not heaven.

    24. Yes, PORK. And while we are having this interesting discussion, it certainly looks like the Utah electorate will have been hoodwinked by Mitt who appears to have carpet bagged his way to Utah so he could run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate Seat; and this for certain if Mitt now proves turncoat to the Republicans and POTUS TRUMP and then claims that he Mitt is righteous in prolonging this tedious democrat partisan impeachment by calling for witnesses or by voting against POTUS TRUMP because of some trumped up moral grounds.

    25. Yes, BARREL. And don’t we all have one or more tragic fatal flaws?

    26. We do, PORK. We all do. Tongue in cheek, even POTUS TRUMP has his share. There is a Book of Mormon scripture that says: “And if men come unto me [Jesus Christ] I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.”
    Ether 12:27 ” Our challenge is to recognize our tragic fatal flaws and get rid of them before they destroy us.

    23. Seems to me that Mitt may want to rethink how he is perceived and what he is doing. He may just want to swallow his pride and jump on the POTUS TRUMP band wagon, say I’m sorry, and campaign and labor diligently to help POTUS TRUMP and the Republicans succeed in a second term and throughout the nation rather than kowtowing to the partisan democrats including of all people Adam Schiff who has blatantly lied about POTUS TRUMP repeatedly; keeping in mind, Mitt, that any bargain with the democrats is Faustian at best.

    24. Yes, PORK. And while we are having this discussion, it certainly looks like the Utah electorate, most of whom are trending pro-TRUMP now, will have been hoodwinked by Mitt because he appears to have carpet bagged into Utah to run for Orrin Hatch’s Senate Seat; and this is especially true now that Mitt has voted turncoat to the Republicans and POTUS TRUMP after claiming he Mitt prolonged this tedious partisan, unconstitutional impeachment by calling for witnesses and then voted against POTUS TRUMP after citing specious moral grounds.

    Thursday Q&A Grades: An A for all of the Senators on both sides of the aisle and for The Chief Justice and for POTUS TRUMP Counsel with an A+ for WH Counsel Patrick Philbin, and a D- for Adam Schiff and a C for Jerry Nadler and a C- for Nancy Pelosi and a B for Chuck Schumer and a B for the other House Managers.

    1. BARREL, what do you think of the Senate trial so far?

    2. Well, PORK, I honor all of the Senators for their decorum and the alacrity with which they have conducted this trial.

    3. I honor the Chief Justice. He has done a superb job. I honor the Counsel for POTUS TRUMP, especially White House Counsel Patrick Philbin who receives an A+ grade.

    4. Mr. Schiff and Mr. Nadler and Mr. Schumer and Mrs. Pelosi and the partisan democrats to the contrary lost their audience with their constant harangues on the first day of the trail. Mr. Schiff gets a D-. Mr. Nadler gets a C. Mr. Schumer gets a B and Mrs. Pelosi gets a C-.

    5. Mr. Schiff’s and Mr. Nadler’s and Mr. Schumer’s and Mrs. Pelosi’s vendetta against POTUS TRUMP is all too apparent.

    6. Their partisan democrat arguments are specious. They are superficially plausible. They in fact are wrong. Mr. Schiff and Mr. Nadler had their opportunity to call witnesses. The Senate has no need to call witnesses.

    7. The President’s communications with Ukraine were appropriate.

    8. All one need do is read the transcripts and watch John Bolton’s immensely favorable to POTUS TRUMP Ukraine interview recently released and found on Breitbart.

    9. Joe Biden’s corruption is appalling. His behavior enriching himself and his family has been criminal. It is well within the purview of POTUS TRUMP and the DOJ to look into.

    10. POTUS TRUMP has done more for the American people that any POTUS in history save Washington and Lincoln. At the ballot box, the American public will reward the positive performance of POTUS TRUMP and reelect him and the republicans and at the same time condemn the negative do nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS performance of the democrats.

    White House POTUS TRUMP Counsel humorously wins case by skewering Democrats Nadler and Lofgren and Menendez and Schumer with their own words.

    1. So PORK, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone concluded opening arguments in the president’s defense in the Senate impeachment trial on Tuesday afternoon by playing video clips of Democrats arguing against President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. 


    2. Take a look at the video, PORK. 


    3. You do have to wade thru an ad or two but it is worth it. 


    4. This will go down in history as the greatest “gotcha” in the history of political and legal defense. 


    5. Some of those Democrats — such as Reps. 

    6. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and 

    7. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) — 

    8. are among the House managers urging the Senate to remove Trump from office. 

    6. Others — such as then-Rep. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) — are now in the Senate themselves.

    7. And of course we have Chuck Schumer as well.


    8. These Democrats made the case for the Republicans.


    9. What more is there to say? Nothing.


    10. Senators need to ask their questions, vote to acquit and be done!


    11. I know we the American people would welcome this.

    We surmise there are a number of angry democrat and republican voters who support POTUS TRUMP! BARREL & PORK.

    PORK, I understand there are an overwhelming number of angry democrat and republican PRO-TRUMP voters out there.


    Yes, BARREL. those angry voters, republicans and democrats and independents, know that POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused to an intolerable level by the democrats Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer and others.


    In greater detail,

    1.       Angry voters find Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi are at best Boring.

    2.       Angry voters find them Repetitive and Tedious.

    3.       Angry voters find them to be amateurs and anything but professional.

    4.       Angry voters are overwhelmingly tired of this one-sided democrat partisan hit job on POTUS TRUMP and his family.

    5.       Angry voters hold the democrats accountable for spending $40 million plus in worthless investigations and hearings and for wasting the time and energy of the congress which could have dealt with infrastructure and the southern border wall and other measures helpful to FREEDOM, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.

    6.       Angry voters want to be happy and they know the democrats are responsible for making them and the country unhappy.

    7.       Angry voters know life is going on tomorrow.

    8.       Angry voters know the sun is going to come up.

    9.       Angry voters know they are going to take care of what’s important in their lives.

    10.   Angry voters know the impeachment outcome is not in doubt but such is no consolation.

    11.   Angry voters know the GOP controls the Senate.

    12.   Angry voters know the story is already written.

    13.   Angry voters have their minds made up and an overwhelming majority are for POTUS TRUMP contrary to the effete democrat narrative. Given the media coverage of POTUS TRUMP, his approval rating is 80-90% not 45% as polls suggest.

    14.   Angry voters know there is no possibility of removal.

    15.   Angry voters know the democrats have wasted their time and their money and have trashed the country and have done nothing to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS TRUMP was elected and that the fix was in to impeach him from before his inauguration.

    16.   Angry voters know the democrats have squandered $40 million plus of the nation’s money in these foolish investigations and hearings.

    17.   Angry voters know the DNC should pay back the country far in excess of $40 million for their impeachment perfidy wrongfully and illegally foisted off on the American people.

    18.   Angry voters know the democrats have no facts while the republican factual arguments have blown the Schiff Nadler democrat emotional arguments out of the water.

    19.   Angry voters know the trial will end in acquittal.

    20.   Angry voters know that the democrats conducted an illegal impeachment.

    21.   Angry voters have fallen asleep during the democrat Schiff Nadler droning arguments and that there is no need for added witnesses to prolong the partisan charade.

    22.   Angry voters know that it is a blatant lie that Schiff Nadler competently and legally conducted themselves during House impeachment hearings or Senate. They know that Schiff Nadler Pelosi Schumer have done nothing for their constituencies or the nation in general to help them be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS was elected.

    23.   Angry voters know the media is likewise skewed dramatically against POTUS Trump.

    24.   Angry voters know that Joe Biden and his son and family are corrupt and that Joe and his family wrongfully took vast sums of money and that Joe failed miserably in his duties as Vice President and cannot show where he has helped us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

    25.   Angry voters know also that Joe Biden was complicit in all of the ill done by POTUS OBAMA and that “the Obama administration” is a euphemism and that POTUS Obama and Joe were responsible for all the negative produced during the Obama years.

    26.   https://www.breitbart.com/news/in-divided-america-some-voters-tuning-out-impeachment-trial/

    27.   Angry voters are yelling at Adam Schiff (D-CA), telling him to “move to Venezuela.”

    28.   Angry voters know Adam Schiff is a liar having lied repeatedly making up lies about POTUS Trump, lying to the Congres and the American people.

    29.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not abuse his power and was well within his rights to ask for an investigation of the corruption of the Bidens and many other politicians who have had their hands in the Ukrainian and China and other foreign and domestic tills stealing money for their personal and their campaign use. The Sweizer book Profiles in Corruption and Rudy Giuliani disclosures of Biden and other corruption are but the tip of the iceberg.

    30.   Angry voters are highly incensed that those in high places who have enriched themselves at the expense of the voters have not been indicted and shamed and where law was violated jailed for their perfidy. Will AG BILL BARR please stand up and be counted?

    31.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP did not withhold aid from Ukraine unless the investigation of the Bidens and others took place.

    32.   Angry voters also know POTUS TRUMP did not obstruct Congress by blocking documents and witnesses unlawfully. They know the minority was denied due process including right to litigate differences of opinion while the democrat majority rushed to impeach before Christmas.

    33.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has been denied due process by Schiff Nadler Pelosi throughout the House impeachment activities.

    35.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor and that Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have fallen abjectly short of the standard need to convict POTUS TRUMP let alone remove POTUS TRUMP from office.

    36.   Angry voters know that the republican minority has the facts while all Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler have is conjecture, generalities, suppositions, mind reading drivel, and no impeachable offenses.

    37.   Angry voters know there has not been a constitutionally authorized bi-partisan impeachment of POTUS TRUMP.

    41.   Angry voters know the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are precisely the arguments the framers of the Constitution rejected because partisan impeachments let the majority exercise tyranny over the minority.

    44.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP made the right call to kill Iranian Quds Force leader Qasem Soeimani and that POTUS TRUMP’S decisive approach has prevented a major war with Iran.

    51.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP has kept more campaign promises than any previous POTUS while the democrats have kept but one which was to impeach POTUS TRUMP.

    52.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is not like Joe Biden at all. Joe has enriched himself and his family in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere while making decisions contrary to the good of the country. POTUS TRUMP has done more to help America be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS than the democrats hoped of doing.

    53.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP was not erratic in responding to Iran.

    54.   Angry voters know Soleimani was taken out because Iran conducted a series of provocative actions against the U.S. and its allies including 11 rocket attacks on installations in Iraq where U.S. forces were present, including attack on oil plants in Saudi Arabia that took out half of the oil output, including seizure of a United Kingdom ship, including attacks on Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers, and shooting down of a U.S. drone.

    58.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP said “Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!”

    59.   Angry voters know that criticism from the left which has been swift and loud was unfounded, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticism was “reckless,” “impulsive,” with no planning or forethought and that her response was in fact fiction.

    60.   Angry voters know that the democrats are politically motivated and that they do not care for us the voters and that the democrat criticisms are not patriotic, keeping in mind that the Iran counterattacks resulted in structural damage, but did not kill any Americans or Iraquis.

    61.   Angry voters know that POTUS TRUMP called for Iran to return to the negotiating table on its illicit nuclear program.

    62.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is a statesman while Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and Schumer are politically effete, having done nothing for their constituencies and nothing for the country, and that the four should be voted and drummed out of congress for their waste of $40 million dollars on the failed Mueller Report and their many other failed, unproven “collusion with the Russians” and “obstruction of justice” wild accusations against POTUS TRUMP.

    63.   Angry voters know former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Obama Adm. (Ret.) Sandy Winnefield wrote in the Hill: “Whether one agrees with the elimination of General Qassem Soleimani as the correct means of signaling Iran, it was an important statement that a new red line is in effect. … Now Iran (and presumably other self-alienated states) have been served notice that they will be held more directly accountable for the actions of their proxies, particularly when those actions result in the death of an American.”

    64.   Angry voters know Obama National Security Adviser Marine Gen. (Ret.) Jim Jones said at a recent forum, “What the administration did in the Soeimani case is absolutely correct. I think it’s the right thing to do.”

    65.   Angry voters know Reuel Marc Gerecht, former C.I.A. specialist on Iran at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is right – He’s (POTUS TRUMP’S) not a strategist. But his tactical game hasn’t been bad. The hit on Suleimani was genius – totally flummoxed his opponent,

    66.   Angry voters know that democrat and republican opponents who portray POTUS TRUMP as an erratic decision-maker do not know what they are talking about and that the evidence does not support that contention.

    67.   Angry voters know POTUS Obama for eight years was paralyzed by fear of adverse consequences and therefore did nothing.

    68.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP is more precise and disciplined that either POTUS OBAMA or POTUS George W. Bush hoped to be.

    69.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP comes from a rough New York real estate business experience where setbacks, challenges, back stabbing, incomplete information, competition demands clear thinking and excellent decision making.

    70.   Angry voters know POTUS TRUMP goes to the experts to get information and then he makes the hard choice with a high degree of self-confidence and ANGRY VOTERS know that 4 more years of POTUS TRUMP will be of greatest benefit to the nation.

    Joe Biden and Adam Schiff are political toast. This is our takeaway from the Impeachment first day of POTUS TRUMP’S LAWYERS’ REBUTTAL. BARREL & PORK.

    After the first day of the Impeachment Defense by POTUS TRUMP’S lawyers, it looks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats are still playing in the minor leagues and have boomerang stepped in it again and have egg on their faces, PORK. Only this time, POTUS TRUMP played for keeps. There is “no collusion” and “no obstruction” and “no corruption” and Adam Schiff lied multiple times and POTUS TRUMP is vindicated once again and Joe Biden is corrupt and has enriched five of his family and himself while misusing his office according to Peter Sweizer and Joe along with Adam are political toast and Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominee. It’s a done deal.

    How so, BARREL? If that is true, it sounds like Nancy Pelosi is working for POTUS Trump.

    She is, PORK. Instead of having her ducks in a row they have all drowned.

    Keep in mind, the Senate Democrats sent a letter to Ukraine in May of 2018 leaning on Ukraine to investigate POTUS TRUMP. Read this at https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/09/25/dems-sent-letter-to-ukraine-asking-for-investigation-to-trump-n2553705

    Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
    1. “If you have not learned by now, … every Conservative “scandal” in recent memory has been nothing more than leftists projecting their own personal problems [and sins and crimes] onto their political opponents.
    2. “Sexism and abuse against women? Meet Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.
    3. “Racism? Meet the blackface donning Gov. Ralph Northam and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
    4. [Collusion with the Russians? Meet Hillary Clinton and her cronies and collaborators.]
    5. [Obstruction of Justice? Meet Hillary and Comey and their cronies and collaborators.]
    6. “Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election? [It didn’t happen.] Meet the Democrats in May 2018 [and the House Adam Schiff Impeachment charade of the last few days].
    7. “Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s family corruption and China corruption wherein Joe and Hunter banked $1+ billion,
    8. “[yes, the very same Democrats] actually sent Ukraine a letter saying “U.S. assistance” was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort.
    9. “Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said in his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face [AGAIN]. 

    8. “Here’s what Theissen reported Tuesday: 

    9. “It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe.

    10. “In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.

    11. “Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

    12. “So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s [hypocritically] not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

    13. ” … The letter clearly shows they were threatening to withhold assistance unless the Ukrainian government did as they demanded. Between this uncovered letter and former Vice President Joe Biden bragging about intimidating the Ukrainian prosecutor, this whole thing is boomeranging on the Dems. Here comes Trump 2020, folks, steamrolling into the White House (again). 

    14. As well, “Recommended BREAKING: President Trump’s Ukraine Call Transcript Has Been Released and Blows Up the Latest Impeachment Narrative Katie Pavlich

    15. “Steve Guest@SteveGuest [Steve gets credit for a great note.]

    16. “FLASHBACK to 2018 byYouTubing Joe Biden bragged about bribing Ukraine with $1 BILLION to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden and the company Burisma – HB was on its board.

    17. FLASH FOREWARD to the recently released Profiles in Corruption a book by Peter Sweizer setting forth Joe Biden’s corruption.

    Yup, Joe Biden and Adam Schiff, who incidentally is up for reelection in his California district after having done nothing for his district rather choosing to spend his time lying about POTUS TRUMP and grandstanding, these two corrupt people are political toast.

    18. Either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Mike Bloomberg will be the nominees.

    BARREL, have you now read the House of Representatives censure and condemnation of Adam Schiff for lying to Congress and the American People about POTUS TRUMP?


    Yes, PORK, I have. The censure and condemnation is well deserved.


    Any other thoughts, BARREL?


    Yes, Schiff is coming up for reelection. 


    He is so obsessed with POTUS TRUMP that he has lied repeatedly about POTUS TRUMP.


    At the same time he has done nothing to help his constituency in California be more free, safe, or prosperous. 


    Adam Schiff should be voted out of office ASAP.


    Here is the Bill censuring and condemning Adam Schiff which was Introduced Session: 116th Congress

    Bill TEXT. Introduced in House (09/27/2019)

    116th CONGRESS1st Session

    RESOLUTION

             Condemning and censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of California’s 28th Congressional District.

    Whereas, President Trump released the transcript of a call between him and the President of Ukraine;

    Whereas, President Trump subsequently released the whistleblower complaint of August 12, 2019;

    Whereas, in a September 26, 2019, hearing on the whistleblower complaint, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff purported to relay the content of the phone call to the American people;

    Whereas, this egregiously false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself;

    Whereas, these actions of Chairman Schiff misled the American people, bring disrepute upon the House of Representatives, and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber’s most solemn constitutional duties;

    Whereas, for more than two years, Chairman Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump Campaign colluded with Russia;

    Whereas, on March 20, 2017, then-Ranking Member Schiff read out false allegations from the Steele dossier accusing numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia;

    Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff falsely claimed in a March 2017 interview to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion with Russia;

    Whereas, then-Ranking Member Schiff negotiated with Russian comedians who he believed to be Ukrainian officials to obtain materials to damage the President of the United States politically;

    Whereas, members of the Intelligence Committee have lost faith in his objectivity and capabilities as Chairman, with every Republican member on the Committee having signed a letter calling for his immediate resignation as Chairman; and

    Whereas, Chairman Schiff has hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities of the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security: Now therefore, be it

    Resolved, That—

    (1) the House of Representatives censures and condemns Representative Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives;

    Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer impeached themselves. BARREL & PORK.

    So BARREL, what is your take about impeachment of POTUS TRUMP and the constitution?

    PORK, my take is straight forward. 

    POTUS TRUMP has been framed. He is “not guilty.” All thinking men and women know this. The partisan, democrat orchestrated plan to impeach POTUS TRUMP was in place before POTUS TRUMP was formally sworn in.

    As a consequence, POTUS TRUMP and his family have been abused more than most individuals I know could endure.

    PORK, “The judgment of history is that a group of scoundrels [Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the democrats] in control of the U.S. House of Representatives placed partisan interests above the country, undermined the Constitution, weakened America in the world, and [Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the democrats] lied about the duly elected president of the United States,” sending articles of impeachment to the Senate that were unsupported by factual evidence and were voted for by democrats alone.

    “This [is now] Pelosi’s [and Schiff’s and Nadler’s and the democrat’s] moment of  shame, and Trump’s moment of redemption [and triumph.]

    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gingrich-trump-impeachment-will-bring-pelosi-and-house-democrats-condemnation-by-history

    My thoughts as well, BARREL. Vote the scoundrels out of office! Drum them out! 

    Pelosi giddily chortled today that POTUS TRUMP is now “impeached for history.”

    What she doesn’t get is three of her accusing fingers point directly back at her and Schiff and Nadler and the democrats. 

    While POTUS TRUMP has been helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the democrats have done nothing for us.


    BARREL, the truth is Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the democrats have impeached themselves.

    Did COMPLICIT Joe Biden and POTUS OBAMA give Iran billions or is this fake news? Looks like it is not fake news, folks. BARREL & PORK.

    1. BARREL, there is a commonly used euphemism which needs to be exploded.

    2. A euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable term for a term that might offend or be unpleasant or challenge the integrity of a person or persons or an organization.

    3. What is that euphemism, PORK?

    4. That euphemism, BARREL, is this phrase “The Obama Administration” which is used so cavalierly and dismissively by the press.

    5. How so, PORK?

    6. Well, BARREL, the truth is “The Obama Administration” is simply an obfuscatory way and even a deceitful way of saying “POTUS OBAMA and JOE BIDEN and the democrats.”

    7. POTUS OBAMA and JOE BIDEN and the democrats” were and they still are “the Obama Administration.”

    8. You are right, PORK.

    9. Didn’t Joe Biden and POTUS OBAMA and the democrats give Iran billions of dollars used by Soleimani and Iran leadership to foment terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere and thereby harm our military personnel and further the Iranian nuclear ambitions?

    10. Or is this fake news?

    11. Doesn’t look like fake news, BARREL.

    12. And Yes, POTUS OBAMA and I am going to call him COMPLICIT JOE BIDEN and the democrats did give Iran billions of dollars – a billion in cash – which was used  to a serious degree to foster terrorism in the Middle East and to harm Israel and our military and civilians.

    13. There is even indication that they did so because they hated Israel.

    14. See Investors.com and Washington Times and CNBC and The Wall Street Journal regarding how the Obama administration – which is POTUS OBAMA and COMPLICIT Joe Biden — secretly gave Iran billions of dollars.

    15. INVESTORS.COM. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-iran-terrorism/;

    16. WASHINGTON TIMES. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/7/inside-the-ring-obama-era-cash-traced-to-iran-back/;

    17. CNBC. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/06/the-obama-administration-secretly-sought-to-give-iran-access-to-the-us-financial-system.html;

    18. WALL STREET JOURNAL. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-two-more-planeloads-of-cash-to-iran-after-initial-payment-1473208256

    19. But PORK, can’t Joe Biden and the democrats wiggle out of this one by saying, “But I was only the Vice President. Or, they are no longer in power. I was not responsible. We were not responsible.”

    20. Nope.

    21. Much of the anti-POTUS Trump democrat liberal press may want to give Joe and the democrats a pass but the truth is “The Obama Administration” was and still is “then POTUS OBAMA and COMPLICIT JOE BIDEN and THE DEMOCRATS.”

    22. All three are responsible for the many initiatives they took during the Obama time in office – initiatives which have harmed us and our FREEDOMS, SAFETY, and PROSPERITY.

    23. They are signally responsible for giving Iran billions which Iran used for terrorism to the harm of all countries in the Middle East including Israel and to the U.S. and if we do a little research I suspect to the harm of England, Australia, Germany, France, Russia, China and other countries as well.

    POTUS TRUMP REAL APPROVAL PROBABLY AT 80% TO 90%. BARREL & PORK. (Also FREE GIFT OF RICHARD LINFORD’S EBOOK ARTISAN SOURDOUGH BREAD? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.)


    PORK, while the Rasmussen daily tracking 
    poll 
    (https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/political_updates/prez_track_dec23) 
    shows POTUS Trump’s approval rating at 
    48% today on December 23, 2019, my marketing
    and advertising observation is still this: 
    POTUS Trump’s actual POSITIVE approval rating 
    is 80% plus and probably 90% plus.

    POTUS Trump has had and continues to have 80 – 90% of 
    all political media coverage [which 
    equates to multi-millions if not billions of dollars in free 
    advertising]. 

    All other politicians or celebrities are eclipsed. 

    POTUS TRUMP has always been on top despite the 

    impeachment nonsense. He has always 

    been going in the right direction. His actions show he has done 

    and he is doing all he can to help us be FREE, SAFE, AND 

    PROSPEROUS while the do nothing democrats Nancy and 

    Chuck and Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler have done 

    nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since 

    POTUS Trump was elected.

    At one point back in September of 2017, there appeared to be a 


    “turning point” when 

    Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi feigned working with 

    POTUS Trump regarding a natural disaster.

    Such working together may have been true for a couple of 


    days, and not for any fault of Chuck and Nancy; the fact is  

    Chuck and Nancy haven’t continued to work with him as they 

    promised.

    Their actions for the moment looked cooperative.

    In hindsight, now that we all have suffered through their 


    impeachment debacle, it is clear to the whole world that their then 


    few days cooperation was grand standing and a sham.

    And this applies to the other do nothing democrats.

    So I withdraw any compliments for Chuck and Nancy.  

    The democrats continued 

    and still continue their do nothing Russia collusion 

    and Ukraine fault-finding and their impeach Trump narrative and 


    their “open “unvetted borders” and “abolish ice” narratives and 


    “late term abortion” narratives.

    There is now no hope Chuck or Nancy will rise to the level of 


    statesman and stateswoman. 

    I quote Michael Goodwin of the New York Post who wrote back in 


    September 2017


    1.    “Yet beyond the professional activists, ideologues and consultants, much [I add 80%-90%] of America yearns for more government cooperation and less combat.

    2.     “Like children watching their parents fight, most voters [democrat or republican or independent] just want a productive peace, not an endless battle for ­total victory that yields nothing of common value.

    3.     “Above all, they want a government that works for them, not one fixated on partisan score keeping and ideological litmus tests.

    My conclusion, and notwithstanding the left and mainstream 


    media meltdown over impeachment, the POTUS Trump brand is 


    still at 80% to 90% POSITIVE approval not 48% or 46%. 


    POTUS Trump has delivered on more than 300 campaign promises


    and POTUS Trump continues to deliver on his campaign promises, 


    one after another.

        Addendum:

    For a patriotic American, patriotism is to champion our Constitutional rights of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and the freedoms promised to ALL – BLACKS, HISPANICS, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, WHITES, ETC., ALL, including BOTH the right of women to choose and the right to life of the unborn.

        Our needs and wants aren’t hard to figure out. 

        We all simply want for ourselves and our unborn to

        be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.


    SO to congress — the simple request is rise to the level of statesmen and stateswomen and stop this impeachment nonsense and help us be free, safe, and prosperous or resign and get out of the way.

    1. We simply want FREEDOM. *Freedom of Religion; *Freedom of Speech; *Freedom of Assembly; *Right to bear arms; *Eliminate political correctness. *Cut government bureaucracy and regulations! *Regarding Freedom of Religion, let Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist worship how, where, or what they may so long as they respect the rights of others. *Work together across the aisle. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for.

    2. We simply want SAFETY. *Support Law and Order [Indict the leakers and FBI disaffected leadership and the Clintons and any others if they deserve it]; *Support police officers and our military and border patrol; *Uphold our Right to bear arms; *Protect our borders; *Build the wall NOW [HURRICANE AND THE LIKE DISASTERS ARE NO EXCUSE NOT TO BUILD THE WALL NOW]; *Vet immigrants and visitors stringently; *Eliminate ISIS/al Qaeda; *Get rid of MS 13 and other gangs; identify and prosecute criminal syndicates; *Ensure no NK/Iran nukes; *TEAR DOWN THE KOREAN DMZ; *Care for our Vets; *Strengthen our military; *Work with Russia and China, Great Britain, the EU, and Canada and Central and South America. *Stop the murders in Chicago and Baltimore and other cities; *Get rid of sanctuary cities and support ICE. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for.

    3. We simply want PROSPERITY. *Several hundred million new jobs; *Enhance U.S. manufacturing; *Establish Energy independence; *Foster Technology advances; *Push Space exploration; *Work with other countries so long as the deal is fair; *Eliminate the national debt; Ensure clean air and water and care for our environment. *Take the lead in Artificial Intelligence. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for.

    4. We simply want you to STOP DUMPING OUR TREASURE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. *Better roads; *Better pipe system; *Better airports; *Better ports; *Better bridges; *Better secure free enhanced internet. Including the INFRASTRUCTURE in our Inner Cities. Stop sending out military and treasure to the Middle East. This is what a POTUS and the congress should stand for.


    SO to congress – Chuck and Nancy in particular — the simple request is rise to the level of statesmen and stateswomen and stop this impeachment nonsense and help us be free, safe, and prosperous or resign and get out of the way.

    1.      foreword

    2.      My daughter visited me and while she was with me she taught me how to make sourdough bread; and she gave me some starter she was given at a Bausch mixer cooking class.

    3.      Since that day, and acknowledging her kindness, I’ve taken up sourdough bread making; and to-date, I’ve found a great deal of enjoyment baking and giving away my bread. By now I have given away many more loaves than I have eaten. I’ve also learned a few things about bread making and have thrown away a couple of beginner loaves as well simply because they were not up to my standards.

    4.      With these checklists, sourdough bread is not hard to make. It is tasty, healthy, filling, and the loaves make great gifts. With this little intro, keep in mind that well made artisan sourdough bread is to cry for if not to die for. Sourdough bread when well made can be the best.

    5.      I hope you find these checklists not only interesting, but also sufficiently motivating so you think seriously about taking up your own Artisan Sourdough Bread making avocation or for that matter vocation.

    6.      And while you are at it, think about giving away some if not much of your bread to your family, neighbors, and friends.

    7.      I don’t like the traditional recipe format. For ease of use, for avoiding cooking mistakes, I like my recipe checklists better. So here goes.

    8.       SOURDOUGH BREAD — BASIC

    9.       NEEDED (pun intended):

    10.   Quality all-purpose fresh flour, salt, water, starter, non-stick cooking spray, butter or olive oil.

    11.   Large non-metal mixing bowl, spatula (I use a rubber one), heavy ceramic* pot with lid, cooking parchment paper, cutting board, plastic wrap or dish towel.

    12.   *Purists say do not use metal. Purists say do not use stainless steel. Purists say the acids make sourdough sour and acids react to any metals.

    13.   I use a large metal mixing bowl and a rubber spatula and to-date have not noticed any problem with quality.

    HOW TO Make Sourdough Bread:

    14.   To the large mixing bowl:

    15.   Add 3 and ½ cups FLOUR.

    16.   Add 2 tsp SALT.

    17.   STIR UNTIL MIXED.

    18.   Add 2 cups WATER.

    19.   Add 1/3 cup STARTER.

    20.   STIR UNTIL MIXED.

    21.   COVER FOR 12 to 24 HOURS.

    22.   SPREAD FLOUR on cutting board.

    23.   DUMP DOUGH ON cutting board.

    24.   KNEAD DOUGH 15 to 20 times by hand or with spatula.

    SPRAY INSIDE OF POT WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY.

    25.   PLACE PARCHMENT PAPER IN POT.

    26.   PLACE KNEADED DOUGH IN POT.

    27.   COVER WITH LID OR PLASTIC WRAP OR DISH TOWEL

    28.   LET DOUGH RISE 2 to 3 HOURS UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE.

    29.   I set my pot in the cold oven while my dough rises.

    30.   TURN OVEN ON AT 425 DEGREES AND BAKE FOR 30 MINUTES.

    31.   TAKE LID OFF.

    32.   BASTE TOP OF BREAD WITH BUTTER OR OLIVE OIL.

    33.   BAKE WITHOUT LID FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES.

    34.   LET COOL.

    35.   EAT.

    36.   ENJOY.

    37.   DOUBLE THE RECIPE?

    38.   DOUBLE THE INGREDIENTS.

    39.   Feel free to be creative.

    40.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – SAID BY SOME TO BE THE HEALTHIEST BREAD.

    41.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – TAKING UP BAKING HELPED ONE PERSON I KNOW OF STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL

    42.   SOURDOUGH BREAD — HISTORY

    43.   An oldest form of leavened bread, dating back to Egypt.

    44.   Sourdough was carried in back packs and covered wagons by explorers and pioneers – was used by California and Klondike gold rush miners, and was used to leaven bread before commercial baking yeast was available.

    45.   Sourdough starter may have been discovered by accident when wild yeast found its way into dough.

    46.   Alaskan miners allegedly slept with their starter to keep it from freezing.

    47.   I don’t recommend sleeping with your starter.

    48.   See Sharon Vail, Sourdough: More than a Bread. September 12, 2006. NPR. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6061648

    49.   National Sourdough Bread Day is April 1.

    50.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – JOBS.

    51.   There are artisan bread making jobs available. Check Google.

    52.   SOURDOUGH BREAD VARIATIONS

    53.   ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS DURING KNEADING OR

    54.   ADD A PACKAGE OF TRAIL MIX OR

    55.   ADD A CUP OF RAISONS OR

    56.   THE BEST MOST TASTY VARIATION I’VE FOUND TO-DATE?

    57.   ADD A CUP OF CRANBERRY CRAZENS

    58.   I don’t recommend adding chocolate chips. The chips melt and the chocolate taste is lost in the sourdough taste.

    59.   Trail mix is ok.

    60.   Again, if you are going to try adding components, the cranberry crazens work best for me.

    61.   There are a number of Artisan Bread making recipe variations.

    SOURDOUGH BREAD AND STARTER TIPS

    62.   Again, some say don’t use metal or stainless steel.

    63.   Use ceramic bowls and wooden spoons

    64.   Take good care of your starter, some say out of respect for its long history, out of respect for the many individuals and families fed over the years because of sourdough starter.

    65.   There are stories of starter kept alive for ten years or more.

    66.   So keep your starter alive.

    67.   Add equal parts of warm water and flour to your starter every few weeks.

    68.   Store your starter in your refrigerator.

    69.   It can last for a long, long time.

    70.   It will improve with age.

    71.   Stir it periodically.

    72.   If you have a sourdough junkie in your family, your sourdough starter may be one of the very best legacies you can pass on from generation to generation.

    73.   Again, toss the starter if it shows any pink or orange or other odd color or carries a strange odor.

    74.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – SAN FRANCISCO

    76.   4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

    192.           SOURDOUGH BREAD — STARTER

    193.           NEEDED:

    194.           All-purpose white flour, 1 package of active dry yeast (.24 ounce), sugar, salt, warm water (NOT HOT. IT WILL KILL YOUR YEAST).

    195.           Glass jar with lid or you can cover it with a plastic sandwich bag, wood or plastic spoon, plastic mixing bowl.

    196.           HOW TO MAKE STARTER:

    197.           Mix –

    198.           2 cups flour

    199.           2 cups warm water

    200.           3 tablespoons sugar

    201.           1 teaspoon salt

    202.           1 package active dry yeast (.24 ounce)

    203.           Place mixed starter in glass quart jar.

    204.           Place lid on jar LOOSLY.

    205.           Let it sit in your kitchen or pantry for 2-4 days so it ferments.

    206.           You may want to place a rubber band at top of starter so you can track increase.

    207.           Stir your starter at least once each week.

    208.           Watch it periodically to see it doesn’t overflow.

    209.           Place it in a bowl or on a cookie sheet or cutting board to catch any overflow.

    210.           Refrigerate your starter after it ferments – bubbles and has sour smell.

    211.           When you use starter, add equal amounts of flour and water to maintain your starter.

    212.           Take your starter out of your refrigerator 12-24 hours before you bake.

    213.           Stir it and see if it bubbles.

    214.           Where liquid is clear or light brown, that’s ok.

    215.           Starters improve with age and as I said can be passed down to family or friends.

    216.           If your starter has any odd color, throw it out and try again.

    217.           Note that a little sugar helps because wild yeasts add to the mix and augment the fermentation.

    218.           One approach to adding to your starter: Day before using your starter, take a cup of starter and mix it in a bowl with equal parts flour and water.

    219.           Next day, take half cup of the new mixed starter and return it to your glass jar in your refrigerator and use the rest for cooking.

    No impeachment happened. Barrel & Pork.

    So, Barrel, it looks to me like no impeachment happened.

    Right on, Pork. The math equation is simple. Partisan all democrat votes + No articles delivered to the Senate = NO IMPEACHMENT.

    You are only half right, Barrel. Your equation should read:

    Schiff star chamber SECRET hearings showing NO HIGH CRIME OR MISDEMEANOR OR OTHER INFRACTION BY POTUS TRUMP + the Partisan all democrat vote + No articles delivered to the Senate = WASTE OF MILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS AND OUR TIME BY THE DEMOCRATS = DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP US BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS = BOOMERANG DEBACLE = NO IMPEACHMENT.

    IS IT TIME FOR A SUPREME COURT INJUNCTION AGAINST FAKE POLITICALLY DRIVEN IMPEACHMENT PLUS SANCTIONS? AGAINST SCHIFF, PELOSI, NADLER, SCHUMER, AND OTHERS? (+My free gift to you of my Sourdough Bread eBook)

    1. BARREL, So you think POTUS Trump should ask the S. Ct for an injunction and sanctions?

    2. Yes, PORK. 

    3. Otherwise even though the Senate may hold an impeachment trial and even dismiss we will still see this impeachment foolishness carried over to all future presidents thereby hampering their ability to govern and carry out their responsibilities.

    4. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Chuck Schumer need to be sanctioned in the process for their perfidy. 

    5. There has to be a brake put on this kind of  foolish, partisan impeachment vehicle and that brake is the Supreme Court. 

    6. In my judgment this is the way to shut down illegal star chamber secretive Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi orchestrated activities.

    1.      foreword

    2.      My daughter visited me and while she was with me she taught me how to make sourdough bread; and she gave me some starter she was given at a Bausch mixer cooking class.

    3.      Since that day, and acknowledging her kindness, I’ve taken up sourdough bread making; and to-date, I’ve found a great deal of enjoyment baking and giving away my bread. By now I have given away many more loaves than I have eaten. I’ve also learned a few things about bread making and have thrown away a couple of beginner loaves as well simply because they were not up to my standards.

    4.      With these checklists, sourdough bread is not hard to make. It is tasty, healthy, filling, and the loaves make great gifts. With this little intro, keep in mind that well made artisan sourdough bread is to cry for if not to die for. Sourdough bread when well made can be the best.

    5.      I hope you find these checklists not only interesting, but also sufficiently motivating so you think seriously about taking up your own Artisan Sourdough Bread making avocation or for that matter vocation.

    6.      And while you are at it, think about giving away some if not much of your bread to your family, neighbors, and friends.

    7.      I don’t like the traditional recipe format. For ease of use, for avoiding cooking mistakes, I like my recipe checklists better. So here goes.

    8.       SOURDOUGH BREAD — BASIC

    9.       NEEDED (pun intended):

    10.   Quality all-purpose fresh flour, salt, water, starter, non-stick cooking spray, butter or olive oil.

    11.   Large non-metal mixing bowl, spatula (I use a rubber one), heavy ceramic* pot with lid, cooking parchment paper, cutting board, plastic wrap or dish towel.

    12.   *Purists say do not use metal. Purists say do not use stainless steel. Purists say the acids make sourdough sour and acids react to any metals.

    13.   I use a large metal mixing bowl and a rubber spatula and to-date have not noticed any problem with quality.

    HOW TO Make Sourdough Bread:

    14.   To the large mixing bowl:

    15.   Add 3 and ½ cups FLOUR.

    16.   Add 2 tsp SALT.

    17.   STIR UNTIL MIXED.

    18.   Add 2 cups WATER.

    19.   Add 1/3 cup STARTER.

    20.   STIR UNTIL MIXED.

    21.   COVER FOR 12 to 24 HOURS.

    22.   SPREAD FLOUR on cutting board.

    23.   DUMP DOUGH ON cutting board.

    24.   KNEAD DOUGH 15 to 20 times by hand or with spatula.

    SPRAY INSIDE OF POT WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY.

    25.   PLACE PARCHMENT PAPER IN POT.

    26.   PLACE KNEADED DOUGH IN POT.

    27.   COVER WITH LID OR PLASTIC WRAP OR DISH TOWEL

    28.   LET DOUGH RISE 2 to 3 HOURS UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE.

    29.   I set my pot in the cold oven while my dough rises.

    30.   TURN OVEN ON AT 425 DEGREES AND BAKE FOR 30 MINUTES.

    31.   TAKE LID OFF.

    32.   BASTE TOP OF BREAD WITH BUTTER OR OLIVE OIL.

    33.   BAKE WITHOUT LID FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES.

    34.   LET COOL.

    35.   EAT.

    36.   ENJOY.

    37.   DOUBLE THE RECIPE?

    38.   DOUBLE THE INGREDIENTS.

    39.   Feel free to be creative.

    40.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – SAID BY SOME TO BE THE HEALTHIEST BREAD.

    41.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – BENEFITS – TAKING UP BAKING HELPED ONE PERSON I KNOW OF STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL

    42.   SOURDOUGH BREAD — HISTORY

    43.   An oldest form of leavened bread, dating back to Egypt.

    44.   Sourdough was carried in back packs and covered wagons by explorers and pioneers – was used by California and Klondike gold rush miners, and was used to leaven bread before commercial baking yeast was available.

    45.   Sourdough starter may have been discovered by accident when wild yeast found its way into dough.

    46.   Alaskan miners allegedly slept with their starter to keep it from freezing.

    47.   I don’t recommend sleeping with your starter.

    48.   See Sharon Vail, Sourdough: More than a Bread. September 12, 2006. NPR. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6061648

    49.   National Sourdough Bread Day is April 1.

    50.   SOURDOUGH BREAD – JOBS.

    51.   There are artisan bread making jobs available. Check Google.

    52.   SOURDOUGH BREAD VARIATIONS

    53.   ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS DURING KNEADING OR

    54.   ADD A PACKAGE OF TRAIL MIX OR

    55.   ADD A CUP OF RAISONS OR

    56.   THE BEST MOST TASTY VARIATION I’VE FOUND TO-DATE?

    57.   ADD A CUP OF CRANBERRY CRAZENS

    58.   I don’t recommend adding chocolate chips. The chips melt and the chocolate taste is lost in the sourdough taste.

    59.   Trail mix is ok.

    60.   Again, if you are going to try adding components, the cranberry crazens work best for me.

    61.   There are a number of Artisan Bread making recipe variations.

    SOURDOUGH BREAD AND STARTER TIPS

    62.   Again, some say don’t use metal or stainless steel.

    63.   Use ceramic bowls and wooden spoons

    64.   Take good care of your starter, some say out of respect for its long history, out of respect for the many individuals and families fed over the years because of sourdough starter.

    65.   There are stories of starter kept alive for ten years or more.

    66.   So keep your starter alive.

    67.   Add equal parts of warm water and flour to your starter every few weeks.

    68.   Store your starter in your refrigerator.

    69.   It can last for a long, long time.

    70.   It will improve with age.

    71.   Stir it periodically.

    72.   If you have a sourdough junkie in your family, your sourdough starter may be one of the very best legacies you can pass on from generation to generation.

    73.   Again, toss the starter if it shows any pink or orange or other odd color or carries a strange odor.

    192.           SOURDOUGH BREAD — STARTER

    193.           NEEDED:

    194.           All-purpose white flour, 1 package of active dry yeast (.24 ounce), sugar, salt, warm water (NOT HOT. IT WILL KILL YOUR YEAST).

    195.           Glass jar with lid or you can cover it with a plastic sandwich bag, wood or plastic spoon, plastic mixing bowl.

    196.           HOW TO MAKE STARTER:

    197.           Mix –

    198.           2 cups flour

    199.           2 cups warm water

    200.           3 tablespoons sugar

    201.           1 teaspoon salt

    202.           1 package active dry yeast (.24 ounce)

    203.           Place mixed starter in glass quart jar.

    204.           Place lid on jar LOOSLY.

    205.           Let it sit in your kitchen or pantry for 2-4 days so it ferments.

    206.           You may want to place a rubber band at top of starter so you can track increase.

    207.           Stir your starter at least once each week.

    208.           Watch it periodically to see it doesn’t overflow.

    209.           Place it in a bowl or on a cookie sheet or cutting board to catch any overflow.

    210.           Refrigerate your starter after it ferments – bubbles and has sour smell.

    211.           When you use starter, add equal amounts of flour and water to maintain your starter.

    212.           Take your starter out of your refrigerator 12-24 hours before you bake.

    213.           Stir it and see if it bubbles.

    214.           Where liquid is clear or light brown, that’s ok.

    215.           Starters improve with age and as I said can be passed down to family or friends.

    216.           If your starter has any odd color, throw it out and try again.

    217.           Note that a little sugar helps because wild yeasts add to the mix and augment the fermentation.

    218.           One approach to adding to your starter: Day before using your starter, take a cup of starter and mix it in a bowl with equal parts flour and water.

    219.           Next day, take half cup of the new mixed starter and return it to your glass jar in your refrigerator and use the rest for cooking.

    POTUS ABUSE by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. Barrel & Pork.

    Barrel & Pork

    1. You four – Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer – have ineptly wasted several years of our time and millions of dollars with your misguided animus and impeachment hearings and the four of you are guilty of POTUS ABUSE.

    2. During the years since POTUS Trump was elected, you have spent all of your time criticizing POTUS Trump while doing nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS and in the process have violated your oaths of office and

    failed your California and other constituencies and the nation in general. Once again your efforts to harm POTUS Trump have turned into an impeachment nothingburger and boomerang back at ya.

    3. We predict a 2020 landslide for POTUS Trump because of your misguided investigations and animus and costly impeachment actions against him. We believe his real poll numbers are 80-90% now and given the way you have abused him it is obvious to us that the four of you are guilty of collusion against the POTUS and you four are also guilty of POTUS ABUSE and we call for your resignations. 

    4. The idea that POTUS Trump abused power is ludicrous given his letters and interaction with Ukraine which show: 

    a.      NO HIGH CRIME!

    b.      NO MISDEMEANOR!

    c.       NO COLLUSION!

    d.       NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

    e.       NO  QUID PRO QUO!

    f.        NO EXTORTION!

    g.       NO BRIBERY!

    h.       NO VIOLATION OF OATH OF OFFICE!

    i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE!

    j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER!

    k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE!

    l.        NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into Burisma company and Joe and his son!

    m.        In fact, in conversation with POTUS Trump President Zelenskyy says he/Ukraine is just about ready to buy Javelins!

    n.    The fact is both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich and POTUS Trump is not faulted if he replaced her!

    o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Burisma and Joe and his son and the China billion plus graft to Joe’s son and to Joe. If Joe withheld U.S. aid to Ukraine in return for the firing of the prosecutor looking into Burisma and Joe’s son – which Joe admitted and laughed at – and if Joe’s son and Joe got a billion plus from the Chinese, trace the money to Joe’s and his son’s various accounts including any hidden ones, Joe needs to admit his perfidy and quit his sham political race.

    p.      While the phone call transcript exonerates POTUS TRUMP, nothing to-date exonerates Joe or his son or you four.

    5. The idea that POTUS Trump obstructed congress with a few tweets or refusal to dignify your one sided charade with witnesses is ludicrous. You four are the ones who have obstructed congress by preventing republican witnesses from testifying and by holding secret hearings. You four are the ones who are guilty of POTUS ABUSE, obstruction of congress, and abuse of power. All members of the house need to vote no on impeachment and stop this political madness and focus on helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

    Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler do nothing democrats produce no legal cause of action against POTUS Trump. Barrel & Pork.

    PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

    BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger! There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump – nothing with which to charge him with a crime – the Adam Schiff hearings are indeed a hoax. Take a look at the following.

        3.       “The President: Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn’t given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It’s a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.”

        4.       “President Zelenskyy: You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and we worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.”

        6.       “President Zelenskyy: Well yes, to tell you the truth, we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that.”

    l.      President Zelenskyy says “we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country.”

        7.       “The President: Well it’s very nice of you to say that. I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it’s something that you should really ask them about. When I was speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she doesn’t do anything. A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it’s something you want to look at but the United States has been very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.”

    l.        The President makes his point that “the United States has been very very good to Ukraine” while Germany and other European countries have not helped Ukraine.

        8.       “President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. Not only 100%, but actually 1000% and I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her. I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine. It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and I’m very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

    l.      President Zelenskyy agrees with POTUS Trump about Germany’s and Frances’ and the European Union in general lack of help and confirms that “the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation.” Next, he states that Ukraine is “ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

        9.       “The President” I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

    l.      POTUS Trump asks President Zelenskyy “to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it.” Then he says he would “like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.” Then the POTUS emphasizes the importance of such. “Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.” e.g. Look into corruption. Look into Crowdstrike. Look into Biden.

        10.   “President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends round us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. That I can assure you.

    l.      President Zelenskyy confirms his friendship with POTUS Trump. He states that he will receive Mr. Giuliani. He states that he will carry out “all the investigations … openly and candidly.”

        11.   “The President: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”

    k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE.

    l.      POTUS Trump again asks President Zelenskyy to receive Rudy Giuliani and the Attorney General Bill Barr and to investigate the allegations regarding Biden corruption quid pro quo extortion.

        12.   “Pesident Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

    l.      President Zelenskyy has his own opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich while agreeing with POTUS Trump about the ambassador  – “It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President  and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

        13.   “The President: Well, she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets. It’s a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people.”

    l.      The President reinforces that Mr. Giuliani and Attorney General Barr will be in touch. And says “we will get to the bottom of it.”

        14.   “President Zelenskyy: I would like to tell you that I also have quite a few Ukrainian friends that live in the United States. Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future. I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation. We are buying American oil but I am very hopeful for a future meeting. We will have more time and more opportunities to discuss these opportunities and get to know each other better. I would like to thank you very much for your support.

        15.   “The President: Good. Well, thank you very much and I appreciate that. I will tell Rudy and Attorney General Barr to call. Thank you. Whenever you would like to come to the White House, feel free to call. Give us a date and we’ll work that out. I look forward to seeing you.”

I am looking forward to our meeting and I also would like to invite you to visit Ukraine and come to the city of Kyiv which is a beautiful city. We have a beautiful country which would welcome you. On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine. We either take my plane and go to Ukraine or we can take your plane, which is probably much better than mine.

    l.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

    m.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

    n.    Both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

    o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens.

    p.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely. Why? Because there is:

    What we do have is Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and other do nothing democrats, together with certain disaffected republicans, who have wasted millions of our dollars and years of our precious time in their investigations, all the while doing nothing to help their own constituencies – doing nothing to help us the American voters – be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS since POTUS Trump was elected; while all the while POTUS Trump has eliminated hundreds of onerous regulations, created the best economy in U.S. history, helped eliminate much of the wealth transfer from middle class America to Europe and China, while at the same time keeping more than 300 promises to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS that POTUS Trump made to the American people.

    PORK, I have heard a great deal about the Telephone Conversation POTUS Trump had with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on July 25, 2019, 9:03 – 9:33 a.m. EDT. What do you think? Does it incriminate POTUS TRUMP?

    BARREL, I have just now taken the time to analyze the conversation. My conclusion? We have another Adam Schiff nothingburger. There is nothing with which to impeach POTUS Trump. Take a look at the following.

    3.       “The President: Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn’t given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It’s a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.”

    4.       “President Zelenskyy: You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and we worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I’m able to tell you the following; the first time, you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.”

    6.       “President Zelenskyy: Well yes, to tell you the truth, we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that.”

    k.       President Zelenskyy says “we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country.”

    7.       “The President: Well it’s very nice of you to say that. I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it’s something that you should really ask them about. When I was speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she doesn’t do anything. A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it’s something you want to look at but the United States has been very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.”

    k.      NO REQUEST FOR ANYTHING.

    l.        The President makes his point that “the United States has been very very good to Ukraine” while Germany and other European countries have not helped Ukraine.

    8.       “President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. Not only 100%, but actually 1000% and I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her. I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine. It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and I’m very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation.” Next, he states that Ukraine is “ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.” No quid pro quo withholding U.S. military equipment or aid in return for corruption investigations.

    9.       “The President” I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

    k.      POTUS Trump asks President Zelenskyy “to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it.” Then he says he would “like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.” Then the POTUS emphasizes the importance of such. “Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible” – e.g. looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens with help of Giuliani and AG Barr.

    10.   “President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends round us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. That I can assure you.

    k.      President Zelenskyy confirms his friendship with POTUS Trump. He states that he will receive Mr. Giuliani. He states that he will carry out “all the investigations … openly and candidly.”

    11.   “The President: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”

    j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER.

    k.      POTUS Trump again asks President Zelenskyy to receive Rudy Giuliani and the Attorney General Bill Barr and to investigate the allegations regarding Biden corruption quid pro quo extortion.

    12.   “Pesident Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

    k.      President Zelenskyy has his own opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich while agreeing with POTUS Trump about the ambassador  – “It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President  and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

    13.   “The President: Well, she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets. It’s a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people.”

Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future. I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation. We are buying American oil but I am very hopeful for a future meeting. We will have more time and more opportunities to discuss these opportunities and get to know each other better. I would like to thank you very much for your support.

I am looking forward to our meeting and I also would like to invite you to visit Ukraine and come to the city of Kyiv which is a beautiful city. We have a beautiful country which would welcome you. On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine. We either take my plane and go to Ukraine or we can take your plane, which is probably much better than mine.

    j.       NO ABUSE OF POWER.

    k.      NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into X company and Joe Biden.

    l.        In fact, President Zelenskyy says he is just about ready to buy Javelins.

    m.    Both men have a low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich.

    n.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr – – e.g. looking into corruption including looking into Crowdstrike and Bidens with help of Giuliani and AG Barr.

    o.      This phone call exonerates POTUS TRUMP completely.
