Trump's Approval Rating for Handling the Wuhan Flu: 60%
The Media's? 44% -- Eleven Points Underwater
President Trump scored among his best approval ratings ever in the latest Gallup poll on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. As PJ Media's Matt Margolis reported, this is the fourth poll in which Trump has excelled and that is remarkable considering the media anvil sitting on his head. The media have done even worse in the poll. And why wouldn't they? They: * Were caught carrying water for the Chinese government to criticize Trump. * Tried to do silly gotcha stories on Trump for failing to keep proper social distancing while sitting close to other reporters. * Slammed Trump for giving what they consider "false hope" about using malaria meds to help treat very sick patients. ... * Called the president a xenophobe and racist for instituting a travel ban from China early in the crisis. * Called Trump a racist for calling a virus from China a Chinese virus. * Called him selfish for not doing getting a COVID-19 test even though his doctor didn't think he needed one. It was negative. ... & Used Chinese government talking points about that government's response to the disease. * Blamed Trump and "right wing media" of sending mixed messages in a National Emergency that changed by the hour. * Encouraged other media not to air the president's daily Coronavirus Task Force briefings deriding them as "dangerous." ... And what of the media's approval rating during this National Emergency? According to the same Gallup poll, the media have not acquitted themselves well, coming in last.More at the link.
Every single entity polled is above water on trust, by significant margins.

Except one.
Our condescending, hectoring, blinkered, self-appointed arbiters of truth are underwater by double digits: pic.twitter.com/A8PHq01U95
After listing all of Trump's sins committed during these briefings, Washington Post's media critic Margaret Sullivan lowers the boom.Sullivan thinks that the briefings have become a platform for Trump's "self-aggrandizement," "media bashing," and "exaggerations and outright lies." You mean a president running for re-election blows up his own role in the crisis and tries to make himself look good? That's never been done before in history! Or, at least since Barack Obama took credit for killing bin Laden. ... What CNN and MSNBC are worried about is that Trump is becoming hugely popular as a result of these briefings. Unpresidential though they might be, Trump has defied conventional wisdom, shrugged off the virulent, unbalanced criticism from the press, and has toned down his act enough to appear calm and confident. People don't care so much what Trump says, they care how he says it. And the president, to his credit, has been very good at these briefings at exuding confidence and a take-charge persona.
The press -- if it defines its purpose as getting truthful, useful, non-harmful information to the public, as opposed to merely juicing its own ratings and profits --must recognize what is happening and adjust accordingly. (And that, granted, is a very big "if.") Business as usual simply doesn’t cut it. Minor accommodations, like fact-checking the president’s statements afterward, don’t go nearly far enough to counter the serious damage this man is doing to the public’s well-being. Radical change is necessary: The cable networks and other news organizations that are taking the president’s briefings as live feeds should stop doing so.
By the way, I like that Doctor Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., is now pretending he wasn't a member of the media pushing the panic as hard as xhe could.
You are the media.

But I thought the goal was to avert overwhelming acute care capacity - which would actually result in an increase in fatalities - which is not the same as the apocalyptic model now being abandoned.
Unless I have something wrong here.

Yes, this is the same model that Mayors and Governors have been using to justify their "stay-at-home" orders.

Clumsily hiding evidence of their crimes has been hilarious. My favorite moment was when the propagandists started to edit and delete sweets that referred to the "Spanish" Flu. Honestly, Twitter does serve an inadvertent purpose by outing these people as the fucking idiots they are. We knew of the bias but most failed to realize the propagandists were dumber than posts.

The dump of stocks was happening before the virus, as was some global slowdown. In that sense, the virus is almost fortuitous for Trump. It revealed the craven lust for power of the CCP, exposed them to all as an enemy. It also popped the stock "bubble" but completely shifted blame.
Now America First Agenda can again be front and center, and maybe some of JJ's morning advice (tax credit or some of that free money for repatriating American essential industry) can win over the rest of Middle America (he won a lot of the blue collar in the rust belt already, key to squeaking out several states.

I would like to see this played out in real life, by the living, not the undead.
I think a sizable majority of Americans wouldn't mind the same one bit.

Clumsily hiding evidence of their crimes has been hilarious. My favorite moment was when the propagandists started to edit and delete sweets that referred to the "Spanish" Flu. Honestly, Twitter does serve an inadvertent purpose by outing these people as the fucking idiots they are. We knew of the bias but most failed to realize the propagandists were dumber than posts.

My favorite bit of media panic mongering... In a newscast on one of my local Vremya broadcasts (where they buried the lede about the government enforced lockdown in my state), they did a profile of a rural doctor working on The Virus! in his community...
at one point, they cut to him webcasting from his office. "It will be a miracle if I don't contract this before this is all over!" he says.
Then, I shit you not, they cut to a photo of him slumped over his desk, with sad music playing, and slowly zoom in on it, while a voiceover declaims:
"He's just one doctor fighting for his patients' lives, in a war that no one saw coming..."

Notionally neutral academics produce a more or less defensible and appropriately hedged "research" result that includes something like the following sentence, "Our parameter selections are based on currently available evidence, our model suggests an outcome that ranges from [no big deal] to [f-ing end of the world, man, game over] and thus we cautiously recommend [you send us more research funding so we can keep doing our cushy, sit on our asses 3 hours of actual "work" a day jobs for another year].
Media first reports: Guy with a real big brain reports world MIGHT be doomed, which in subsequent reports slides in to: "World is doomed, says everyone with a brain."
Then activist groups like COVID ACT NOW start in with truly bunk pseudo-science panic and the media spit that right into cultural bloodstream.

Tomorrow, the scientists, media, and pols will be, "Well, we never said the worst case scenario would definitely happen, just that it might, so we need to do [whatever it was we already wanted to do for existing reasons, like, for example, talk down and/or destroy the economy so Trump would lose re-election].

There's a very good point to be made here - if all of the Coronavirus predictions end up being hopelessly hyped computer projections, guess which set of projections will fall out of fashion next?
Combine that with the fact that due to the oil war, all green schemes and "alternative energy" sources just became hopelessly uneconomic.

While the vast majority that believe in God (by and large that doesn't include you in the media BTW) believe truth is objective, opinions about what is truth is subjective. Therefore if you're interested in writing about the truth the philosophy magazines are right down the hall.
Second the instant you decide to not report factual, useful, but in your subjective opinion, "harmful" information, you cease to be journalists period. You are just another assh*le with a political agenda and a soap box.

The tech, with a new baby, did not go in and self isolated. Would you prefer that he just continue to do his regular job and possibly spread the virus? Because of this incident, none of our techs are going into residences right now.

Also, China dropped about 21 Million people from the cell phone roles over the last 3 months (form your own conclusions on where these people went all of a sudden) Communists are outright brutal...and this is exactly in their wheelhouse. It had the added benefit of tanking the economy in the West and allowing China to open new markets on medical equipment. They outright raped Spain in that regard. They are currently positioning themselves to gain added control of the US economy.
Call it tin foil hat stuff if you like. But, the timing was all too convenient. BTW, what happened to that respected infectious disease expert from India who stated unequivocally that (in his opinion) the structure of the virus was partially engineered and not natural in occurrence? He published that opinion back in December and hasn't said anything since.

"And it happened too early to effect the election.
And Trump has had opportunity to look presidential for weeks on end now.
They blew their latest wad too early. That's like four in a row, and they're getting weaker electorally and politically every time."
It probably has made the election more difficult, but less so than a market correction without a causus belli in the early autumn. The economy's response, and we are in uncharted territory, will tell the tale over the next eight months. I like our chances, and the betting markets already have shifted from a slight Biden edge to a slight Trump edge almost overnight.
There are positive things that have emerged. China is a dead trading partner walking. Globalism may not be dead but it is in the ICU without a respirator. The media has incinerated itself further, if that's even possible.

Right up there with Kathy Griffins histrionics allegedly tweeted from a CIVID019 emergency room.
As you see various celebrities slam Trump or engage in other social media activism over this, remember the Decency Collective, which is a:
. . . a private room made for progressive celebrities and activists to communicate and work in tandem to spread messages online. It's a growing tactic on the left, designed to piggyback on a social media coordination strategy employed successfully on the right and intended to harness the power of Hollywood stars and high-profile activists who already lean Democratic. A sort of cabal of #Resistance influencers, if you will.
. . .Under its umbrella are dozens of private Twitter direct message rooms organized around specific issues, geographies, and events where left-leaning influencers gather.
Among the names I noticed of those involved are many that people might recognize: Gabrielle Union, Alyssa Milano, Jon Cryer, Sarah Silverman, Ben Stiller, Tom Colicchio, Jason Long, Mark Ruffalo, Adrian Grenier, Akilah Hughes, Piper Perabo, W. Kamau Bell, Ady Barkan, Jason Kander. Representatives from the presidential campaigns of Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, among others, are in the mix as well.

In this case, no matter how hard they try to blame Trump, Trump didn't start the virus, and he didn't order all these closures.

It could be both, imo. Stocks way overvalued, but jobs returning to USA, better jobs. But so much of America is tied to the wealth created by asset inflation ... and cheap costs in (slaves/pollution) China ... that returning industry may depress some "efficiencies" ... But they were not real efficiencies ... slaves, pollution, supporting an enemy ... those are ways to cut costs, but they also cut out liberty.
But exactly what was going on in credit markets is over my head ... I think Bander's comment yesterday about "it's worse than 2008" is correct, but it is worse in a different way. Banks are much more solvent, corporations were rising on stock buybacks and debt ... now we are (illegally?) buying corporate and municipal debt ... kinda astounding move toward socialism ... or just call it partial communism, government owning business.
Plenty of gold bulls pushing the end times scenario ... but MMT might work for years ... no one wants the huge monetary bubble to pop ... but many say it has to pop. idk

Anyhow, he sez, "Mike, it's company rules, I have to put on a respirator and gloves to inspect the house".

Oh they knew alright. They saw bush soar in popularity after 9/11 but they couldn't do a damn thing about it. And the same thing is happening to them now.
I really believe that the longer this goes on with a relatively low number of deaths that Trump's public approval of this will get close to 70% which will guarantee him reelection.

The thing about Kathy Griffin's stupid tweet (I mean the thing other than she is likely lying through her teeth), even if every word of her experience was truthful, it doesn't make Trump a liar. He said nothing about whether any particular individual would be tested. His tweet just pointed out that the US had tested more people than S. Korea.

- Socialized medicine (Trump opposes it)
- Increased regulation (Trump is a deregulator)
- Increased taxes (Trump is a tax-cutter)
- Reduction in the trades (Trump is a trades booster)
- Greater dependence on foreign powers like China (Trump wants industry back home)
- Greater integration with global organizations (Trump is a nationalist)
This is pretty easy. I can see it clearly now. Vote Biden, everyone. He's finally uttered a cogent policy position. And it's a hum-dinger.

It's hard to believe this has to be said, but if I'm elected president, I will always lead the way with science. I will listen to the experts and heed their advice. I will do the opposite of what we're seeing Donald Trump do every day."

I think Trump was more or less stampeded into this. Politically, he either had to act fairly aggressively or have the media hang anything that happened around his neck as his Katrina.

Now I'm looking at Airbnb options available for the eact same place but in late May.
OMG.
All the prices are about HALF what they were in March, and MUCH BETTER places are now available.
Before. I settled for a small-but-decent Airbnb for $110/night.
Now, I can get a deluxe 3-bedroom entire house for $60/night, in a better neighborhood.
I am really really tempted to "throw the dice" and assume that the travel restrictions will be lifted by May, and reserve one of these great Airbnb places NOW. If I wait iuntlt he green light is given, there will be a mad rush to get all the good rentals and they'll be snapped up really really fast.
Should I do it?
The downside would be: If I reserve the Airbnb now, but it turns out that I CAN'T travel in late May, then I'll have to cancel and possibly lose some $$$, maybe 5%-10% of the cost.
Gamble?

Why would anyone be asked for "papers"? Unless there are actual "shelter-in-place" orders somewhere.
But I think 99% of the "stay-at-home" orders have a TON of exceptions. Such as going out to pick-up food, going out to pick-up groceries or supplies.
So in those places, there are likely plenty of people out driving around. There is ZERO possibility that police could pull over everyone and ask for "papers".
Are they pulling over every elderly person out early in the morning on their way to grocery stores to take advantage of early hours and asking for their "papers" proving they're going to grocery store?
I have a feeling most of this is just anti-law enforcement nonsense being spread around.

1. Overinflate virus risks.
2. Bully Trump into a national shutdown with doom casting.
3. Tank economy. Killing thousands if not millions globally.
4. Reveal the "truth" about Corona Virus risks being far less than thought.
5. Blame Trump for making rash uniformed decisions that hurt the American people.
6. Use economic woes in November to get a Democrat elected.

They had to pay a fine and get their "papers" from the Cops because they were driving to work in a non-commercial truck and they were going to keep getting pulled over and fined.

I think it started here on Friday, when our shelter in place order was announced. Some employees gave their employees letters, to make sure they could come in on Monday. it might have been more for the employees' peace of mind, than anything else. But now it's ballooned into another kung flu urban legend.

no problem with it for sure. But it seems a bit random. Maybe I don't know what they carry really as I only go in for hardware and appliances.
my tp tip was 7-11. They don't have much but they do carry it.
My real tip is to go for a store like Wegmans that seems to have a better supply chain and is trying to blow it out. Go early early and I bet you get lucky.

In the days of my youth there wasn't Home Depot but a place called Gee Lumber. They had cigarette machines at the exits and parents used to have their kids run over there to get them a pack of cigarettes. Of course when we got older and wanted to try cigarettes ourselves we would say if asked, I'm getting it for my parents.

Given how fast Nancy backpedaled, I just don't
get members making statements. Unless its short, sweet and "we're with

Heard
the old Carly Simon song on the radio today for the first time in quite

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf, it was apricot
