How dangerous is progressivism?  This item provides a brief look at what is a massively dangerous movement for freedom loving people.    http://punchingbagpost.com/2020/03/24/progressivism-has-gone-pandemic/? 

This is an important item helping us understand what is going on as we navigate the murky coronavirus waters.  Thanks to Charles for sharing.

Here is a different take of our national reaction to the coronavirus.  It contains a good bit of common sense.  https://www.uspoliticsandnews.com/finally-tx-lt-governor-reminds-us-what-american-courage-looks-like/

Before going on here is just one of the many items the political left throws in Trump's face claiming he is behaving irresponsibly. That after all of their irresponsible behavior makes it laughable to even have to address.  Here is a summary of the process Trump is already working on to transition the country back to normalcy once the medical community says it is safe to start the recovery.  Quote: "Stop Freaking Out: We’re Not Going To Re-Open The Country All At Once." And, "On Tuesday, Donald Trump said he would like to see the country opened back up by Easter. Many people freaked out, waving their arms and running around screaming that the President is going to kill us all (again). He didn’t establish a hard date here. He simply said that is what he would like to see. It is not his policy to just return the country to normal on a whim. Clearly, there is a goal and the government is looking into how to meet that goal. There is, contrary to what many in the media and on the Left might tell you, an actual plan here. Those whose hatred of the President is so great that they would blame him for someone drinking fish tank cleaner are not going to let you know that the White House has actually announced its plan. Instead, they’ll continue to question whether or not the country will be ready to be open for business at a hard date the President never actually set."   Read on to see what the plan is.   https://www.redstate.com/joesquire/2020/03/25/stop-freaking-out-were-not-going-to-re-open-the-country-all-at-once/

As a nation our experience with the coronavirus should cause us to rethink our relationship with communist China.  They are proving to be a bad investment for many of our industrial/manufacturing and healthcare needs.  This item focusses on the pharmaceutical industry. But many in the Big Pharmaceutical Industry are fighting an effort by Trump to get us our of our dependency on China. What is their motive??? It is most likely they will see their bottom line erode.  They are apparently willing to say to heck with what is good for the people they have their eyes on their bottom line.  This item explains. Quote: "The Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM), a trade association for large pharmaceutical manufacturers is pushing a letter opposing an executive order proposed by President Donald Trump that would reduce or eliminate regulations that have raised the cost of manufacturing medical compounds and equipment in the United States.  His goal is to end American dependence on China for the medicines we need. The big international corporations, of course, say the order will make it difficult for them to supply antibiotics and equipment needed now to fight the Chinese coronavirus.  Their stated reason for opposing the President is that they want to “do their part” in fighting the scourge.  But there is likely a far more sinister reason for this action. The Chinese Communists will do just about anything to keep their stranglehold on the supply of medicines, the components to make medicines and medical equipment, This is about power — the power of the Chinese Communists to dictate terms to America and Europe.  And they are delivering this message through the serpentine voices of major corporations. So far, the letter being circulated by the pharmaceutical giants has 40 signatures, mostly from associations funded by the pharmaceutical firms themselves   In all fairness, most of these groups need the funding from the corporations so it is no surprise that they are doing as they are told.  And, as would be expected, there are a handful of so-called “conservative” groups reciting their “free trade” mantra.  They, sadly, are so blinded by their failed religion of globalism that they cannot see the threat to America their position holds.     http://dailytorch.com/2020/03/president-trump-should-issue-the-buy-american-executive-order-to-end-chinas-control-of-our-medicines/

Now we know the truth.  The Chinese accidently spilled the beans about who/what/where the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic originated. It is almost laughable how the truth slipped out.  Quote: "Quoting someone whom the US media maintain is a practitioner of “far-right conspiracy theories” is going to make it harder for the WaPo to support the CCP party line, but the ChiComs are almost as shameless as the WaPo (the king of unnamed sources) in whom they cite in their articles. Be that as it may, methinks the ChiComs failed to fully coordinate all aspects of their blame-shifting game. Note what the Global Times also posted a mere 14 hours later on their website: The city of Beijing is accelerating procedures to pass a set of regulations that prohibits hunting and consumption of all wild animals, which are believed to be the source of the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). It is also planning to establish wildlife disease monitor stations in areas populated with wild animals. The draft regulations also ban the consumption of all terrestrial wild animals and certain aquatic wild animals, and forbid markets from trading in them. A penalty of two to 15 times the price of the consumed wild animal will be enforced if the regulations are violated, while the Rural Committee of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress suggested this fine should be even higher. Other related actions such as the unauthorized freeing of animals and trading of wild animals under the guise of sheltering and rescue will be punished, the report said, noting that anyone can report violations to related authorities. Why implement these regulations now? There are no such things as coincidences. Banning the consumption of, and trading in, wild animals is a tacit admission that the ChiComs know perfectly well where the Wuhan virus originated, and that “Patient Zero” is a Chinese, not a US soldier. Somehow, that report slipped by the censors, as it blows holes in their propaganda blaming the US for the virus outbreak."    https://www.redstate.com/stu-in-sd/2020/03/27/ooops-the-chicoms-tacitly-admit-they-were-responsible-for-the-wuhan-virus-outbreak/?

This is how low the Chinese Communist party will go to blame the US and Trump for the global pandemic they caused.  It is typical of hard political leftists to shift blame onto others because they are completely unethical and never ever admit to the unethical things, even the heinous crimes they commit.  That is who and what they are.    https://www.libertyheadlines.com/chinese-lawyers-sue-us-cover-up/ 

Here is another example of the grossly unethical left wing Socialist Billionaire, George Soros's completely evil nature.  He is a big time funder of left wing progressive Democrat socialist's and their grossly unethical and destructive efforts.  https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/soros-bankrolls-coronavirus-attack-ads-against-trump/ 

After reading the previous pieces and if you still don't think Soros and way to many of his progressive Democrat socialist pals are not evil then this item will surely convince you. Quote: "In a preposterous attack on the conservative agenda, the radical Left is trying using the COVID-19 crisis to call for the abolishment of the American family. At a time when so many are clinging to their loved ones for support and encouragement more than ever, the Left is trying to capitalize on this unprecedented moment in history to tear down traditional values. A new article posted on an extreme Leftist website called openDemocracy[1] – an organization funded by notoriously liberal billionaire George Soros – claimed that the Coronavirus recommendations to shelter-in-place at home is actually dangerous and that now is the time to “abolish the family” and private home ownership."  Anyone who does not understand the implications of this revelation, you will find that type language in the Communist Manifesto.  That is exactly who and what many of our friends on the political left, and that means many of our progressive Democrat socialist friends, not only believe but also want to do to us.   https://aclj.org/radical-left/radical-left-soros-funded-organization-uses-the-coronavirus-to-justify-call-to-abolish-the-family?

This is hard to imagine something like this can be true but it mirrors my thoughts at pretty close to one hundred percent regarding far too many members of the Democrat party. I think given what I see, hear and read so do many others.  Quote: "Pelosi and Schumer Are Garbage; So Are Most Other Elected Democrats. Never mind the “agreement” reached in the Senate on that $2 trillion. Yes, the provisions mean real relief for real people, but those could have been signed into law long ago. What perhaps matters more is whether any poison pills are being sneaked into the bill by Democrats as part of the “compromise.” Republicans are known for giving away the store. Perhaps more important is that the American people saw for themselves what the Democrats are all about in trying to load up the economic stimulus bill with leftwing wish-list items having nothing to do with economic relief or combatting the virus. Pelosi and Schumer may have been too clever by half, as a lot of Americans essentially at home due to quarantines were able to watch the Democrats in action. Americans need to understand that the Democrats have been operating under Saul Alinksy’s rules for a couple of decades now – Hillary Clintons was a disciple of Alinsky, after all – with Rahm Emanuel tacking on a rule that has since been added to the Democrat playbook: “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Pelosi, Schumer and other Democrats have been operating with those rules in mind for years and especially the Emanuel addendum."    https://www.redstate.com/stu-in-sd/2020/03/26/pelosi-and-schumer-are-garbage-so-are-most-other-elected-democrats/?  Most people know that Alinsky was a socialist rabble rouser who wanted to overthrow our country and turn it into a socialist paradise like Cuba and Venezuela. In fact his book "Rules for Radical" reflects the leadership style of Barack Obama, an acolyte of Alinsky, while serving as our president. As noted in the article Alinsky's book has even been infamously cited as the Democrat party's "Playbook". Here is a little known fact about Hillary. Her senior class thesis in college was about this wondrous man who even offered her a job he was so taken with her interest in his thinking. She chose instead to go to law school where she met Bill and you know the rest of her sordid history. Her radical left wing roots run deep and strong, even today.  By the way, both Obama and Hillary have long worked closely with the infamous socialist George Soros.  That should tell you all you need to know about the ethics of those two people.
