Border security key to curbing coronavirus, Cuccinelli says
Via Billy
Defending the southern border is a key part of protecting the United States from the coronavirus, a top U.S. immigration official said Friday.
A border crisis could exacerbate a pandemic, said Ken Cuccinelli, acting deputy secretary of homeland security and a member of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force. But the disease doesn’t currently pose a major threat in the U.S., he added.

The Long March Toward Capitalism
Via T.L.
We are beginning to see in the Democratic debates what a Democratic president would have in store for the United States. This is not a D vs R issue. It doesn't matter which political party offers up some socialist or communist program to find push back here on 12 Round, that is part of what we do, we fight for what we think is important. Capitalism is important, so it doesn't matter who proposes socialistic or communistic programs and Republicans have done it as much as Democrats. We are apolitical here in that we see no political party upholding and fighting for the things that we know work. Capitalism works. Hard work, works. Freedom works. Those are ideals that should be furthered, discussed, promoted, but America has slumped into a sort of quasi-socialist existence.

They’re At It Again: Media Claims Trump Called Coronavirus a ‘Hoax,’ But That’s Not What He Said
Via Billy
Last night at a rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump called out the Democrats for politicizing the coronavirus, noting that so far the administration’s quick reaction has kept the cases of the virus low.
Trump
quoted one of his people saying that the effort to politicize the virus
is the new “hoax” effort following the failure of Russia and
impeachment.
Here’s the video of what he said.

China expert: Coronavirus could lead to collapse of Communist Party
Via Billy
The Chinese Communist Party's secretive handling of the coronavirus could lead to its collapse in the same way that the Chernobyl nuclear disaster contributed to the Soviet Union's demise, an expert on China said Friday.
Gordon Chang said in an interview with Just The News at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Washington, D.C., that people in China are talking about Chernobyl.
The secrecy surrounding the 1986 disaster led to the failure of the Soviet Union within a half decade, he noted.
"Maybe we're starting to see the same dynamic now," he said. "But the Communist Party certainly is weakened, and it's fighting to keep itself in place."

President Trump Taps a Bulldog To Be His Next Intelligence Czar
Via Billy
Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany, is acting director of national intelligence, but President Trump intends to nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) to become its permanent head. The president tweeted the announcement Friday afternoon.
“I am pleased to announce the nomination of Rep. Ratcliffe (Congressman John Ratcliffe) to be Director of National Intelligence (DNI),” Trump tweeted. “Would have completed process earlier, but John wanted to wait until after IG Report was finished. John is an outstanding man of great talent!”

Definitely worth the read: Oath Keepers Coronavirus Warning and Advice on How to Protect Yourself
Via Stewart
The Coronavirus (Covid19) has become a political football in the United States. Predictably, Democrats are using it to attack President Trump (they will do so no matter what he does). But that doesn’t mean it’s not a dangerous virus.
We consider Coronavirus a serious potential threat to your health and to the health of loved-ones because of how contagious it is, because it can be transmitted while the carrier is asymptomatic, and because of the way it attacks the lungs, which is more severe than the flu. It’s especially deadly for the elderly and for those with preexisting conditions, such as respiratory problems or cardiovascular disease, for whom the death-rate climbs in excess of 8% and as high as 15% (see below analysis). We also consider the virus a serious threat to our nation because its spread in the U.S. will likely cause serious disruptions in travel, work, school, the delivery of food, medical supplies, medical services, fuel, etc., and will cause a resultant downturn in the economy.
Please note that Saudi Arabia shut down the pilgrimage to Mecca, preventing millions of Muslims from taking planned pilgrimages (we cannot recall this ever happening before), and also banned all travel to the Kingdom by anyone with a tourist visa from one of the infected nations, such as Italy or South Korea.
Here in the U.S., it is long past time to do as Saudi Arabia has done. Breitbart has reported that a Los Angeles based flight attendant, who worked flights from South Korea to the U.S., has just been diagnosed with Coronavirus. President Trump needs to stop air traffic to the U.S. from all nations where pandemics are underway, such as South Korea, Italy, or Japan – not just from China. Frankly, because the virus has now spread extensively in the rest of the world, he should stop all foreign entry into the U.S., and returning U.S. citizens should be quarantined. He should also deploy our military onto our southern border in sufficient force to lock it down to prevent all illegal entry. Better safe than sorry! Let’s take “America first” seriously and act accordingly.
Japan and Vietnam have closed down all schools and no children are going to school in either nation. Nations do not shut down all schools over the flu or colds. A school in Washington State has now been closed. We urge you to set aside politics, take a hard look at facts, and encourage President Trump to do what is necessary. Whatever impact further restrictions on international air traffic to the U.S. may have on our economy will be child’s play compared to the cascading economic effects of millions of Americans halting travel within the U.S., pulling kids from school, and missing work from fear of becoming ill, or from being ill.

Following those write-ups are some recommendations for individual preparedness in case you need to shelter in place for extended periods, and a final write up by one of our Utah chapter leaders.

This makes it extremely contagious.

Brazil’s Eduardo Bolsonaro: ‘Globalists Are Trying to Delete Our History’
“In Brazil, black slavery ended in 1888. After that, we started to receive in Brazil workers to [replace] the black slaves. It was a time when, in Brazil, we were receiving people from Italy, Germany, Spain, and usually they were poor European people,” he said. “But when they arrived in Brazil at the time, they kept their culture, and they didn’t try to change the culture of Brazil. The difference is that nowadays we are receiving people and they want to force us to have their same culture, and this is how we start all of the fights. And sometimes what you see is the globalists blaming us because of these conflicts when, at the end of the day, it is not up to us, it is up to them that they are coming in[to] our country.”
Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro of Sao Paulo – a Brazilian conservative and the son of President Jair Bolsonaro, explained to Breitbart News Daily
host Matthew Boyle on Friday that leftists and globalists have launched
an assault on the culture of Brazilians as they have against peoples of
many other countries.
Bolsonaro noted to Boyle that Brazil has a rich history of immigration and that its diversity is “a very good thing,” but the state has a responsibility to prevent “terrorists and bad guys” from exploiting the immigration system. He also noted that many of today’s immigrants, unlike those of the past, have begun insisting that Brazil adapt to their culture rather than respecting their host country’s identity.

The Transparent Nonsense of the Russia Hoax
No thoughtful person can believe the transparent nonsense of the Democrat Party’s continuing versions of the Russia Hoax. President Donald Trump is not a good thing for Vladimir Putin and his ambitions for Russia. China and North Korea would also probably like to work with a more compliant U.S. leader. Trump’s competitive actions in foreign policy, military power, and the primacy of U.S. national security are written in huge bright letters across our skies. Only ideological slaves and hirelings, know-nothings, and dimwits are blind to it. But the Democrats continue to insult the intelligence of everyone, even their own voters, by pushing one of the most incredibly transparent lies in American political history as a main campaign theme.
