“Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.” – Janis Joplin

According to Andrew O’Reilly of Fox News, “Angry demonstrators took to the streets in North Carolina and Missouri on Tuesday to voice their discontent at their states’ stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic.”

And these aren’t your typical run-of-the-mill protesters either!

These are all the people who are normally too busy working and don’t have the time to protest!

“The protests in Raleigh, N.C. and Jefferson City, Mo., are the latest in a series of protests across the country against state lockdown orders – fueled by tweets of support from President Trump and the economic unease caused by the coronavirus.”

“Holding handmade signs with slogans like ‘My Rights Are Essential’ and ‘ReOpenNC,’ hundreds of people marched through downtown Raleigh while chanting ‘Freedom Now.’”

“Similar signs along with a slew of American flags were seen as people began to gather outside the Missouri Capitol building.”

“Protests against the lockdown orders have cropped up in numerous states over the past few weeks as some Americans have become frustrated with being told to stay at home and with the economic freefall the virus has caused.”

The virus didn’t cause the “freefall…,” it was the liberal media’s and the democrats’ reaction to it this time around that caused it.

“The federal government said Thursday that 5.2 million more Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the four-week total to about 22 million out of a work force of 159 million — easily the worst stretch of U.S. job losses on record. The losses translate to about one in seven workers.”

“Last week, hundreds of cars, trucks and SUVs descended on Michigan’s state capital Wednesday afternoon as part of a noisy protest against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s social-distancing restrictions that critics say have gone too far. The same day, a number of people gathered outside the Kentucky Capitol building to protest Gov. Andy Beshear’s shutdown orders, while more gathered in Virginia to protest on Thursday.”

“Several hundred people rallied in Texas’ capital over the weekend, chanting ‘Let us work!’ Many clamored for an immediate lifting of restrictions in a state where more than 1 million have filed for unemployment since the crisis began.”

“In Indianapolis, more than 200 people stood close together outside the governor’s mansion, carrying American flags and signs demanding that Gov. Holcomb lift restrictions.”

“Elsewhere, a few hundred demonstrators waved signs outside the Statehouse in New Hampshire.”

“More protests this week are planned in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Wisconsin.”

“While many governors have pleaded with their constituents to not protest during the public health crisis as it may only cause more people to get sick, the demonstrations – mainly organized by conservative groups – have found an ally in the president.”

‘“LIBERATE MINNESOTA!’ ‘LIBERATE MICHIGAN!’ ‘LIBERATE VIRGINIA,’ Trump said in a tweet-storm in over the weekend in which he also lashed out at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, for criticizing the federal response.”

“Four states – Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas – already have lifted some restrictions or plan to this week.”

“Despite the protests and opening up of some states, many lawmakers and public health officials warn that the country is far from safe when it comes to dealing with the virus.”

The point is we’ll never be “safe.”

We were never “safe” to begin with.

If the democrats’ ultimate goal is to be safe…, here’s some suggestions…,

…quit letting criminals out of jail early so they can prey on law abiding citizens again!

…knock off this sanctuary city garbage, which protects and hides illegal immigrants with criminal records from federal authorities.

…support President Trump in his efforts to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, criminals, drugs, and human traffickers along our southern border.

…stop promoting drug use and homelessness in your big cities.

So, there. If you democrats really want to promote safety, those are some good places to start with.

The cure can’t be worse than the disease itself.

This underlying belief is why we have never “shut down” the world before because of “the flu.”

But now we have established a precedent.

Do we really intend on “shutting down” the world every year or every other year?

Since when do we quarantine the healthy and the sick?

Tyler Olson of Fox News reports that, “Defensive Dems scold coronavirus lockdown protesters as rallies spread across country.”

“As protests spread against the stay-at-home orders put in place by governors across the country, some prominent Democrats have panned the demonstrations as dangerous and ill-informed, saying the protesters risk spreading coronavirus among themselves and contributing to a spike in cases in their states.”

How typically elitist of you to scold these protesters who were not sanctioned by the liberal hierarchy.

But, remember…, the cure can’t be worse than the disease itself.

What would be worse…, losing your business, losing your job, losing your home, losing a place to live, losing all of your money and having to depend on charity to eat…, or possibly getting a flu that has a 98.5% survivability rate? Which is about the same rate as every other flu that’s come down the pike?

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., addressed the protesters in an interview on ‘Fox News Sunday’ with Chris Wallace.”

‘“No, not really,’ she said when asked if she understood why people are demonstrating. ‘…I’m respectful [of] whatever people think they should say, but the fact is this has to be science-based, evidence-based, data-based.’”

Of course, she can’t understand why people are demonstrating!

She hasn’t lost her job!

I mean, she’s been in Congress for the last 100 years!

She’s still getting paid.

Her family’s livelihood isn’t being threatened.

And all of her supporters are still receiving their government checks on schedule.

She’s got enough of cash in her big fat bank accounts, just like all of her other elitist friends, to hold her over for years.

“Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on MSNBC last week said that the protests against her stay-at-home order may lead her to extend the order, due to the fact so many people could have been exposed to the coronavirus.”

Why don’t you just get it over with and extend your order until 2022?

That way you’ll be sure to be safe from the virus…, right?

There’ll be nothing left of the state of Michigan, but you will have saved lives…, at least from the virus.

Remember…, the cure can’t be worse than the disease itself!

‘“When you see a political rally, that’s what it was yesterday, a political rally like that where people aren’t wearing masks and they’re in close quarters and they’re touching one another … the odds are very high that they’re spreading COVID-19 along with it,’ she said. ‘So it’s that kind of irresponsible action that puts us in this situation where we might have to actually think about extending stay-at-home orders, which is supposedly what they’re protesting.’”

On a side note…, please remember that protesters are only deemed “political” when they are in disagreement with the liberal policies. Sunday, Washington Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee explicitly said the protests were ‘illegal.’”

If I’m not mistaken, Jay, the right to protest is protected by The Constitution…, regardless of any orders you may be laying down.

Remember…, the cure can’t be worse than the disease itself.

“The anti-stay-at-home order protests are often largely made up of supporters of the president, waving Trump flags and wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hats. The governors of Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia are also all Democrats.”

Oh…, I’m sure that every single one of the protesters are Trump supporters.

What a disingenuous statement.

I’m sure there are quite a few democrats who also see the harm that some of these extended stay-at-home orders could cause.

“In addition to those states, rallies have also made their way to New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Kentucky and more.”

“Governors of both parties have cautioned against lifting social distancing measures too soon and too completely…”

“[President] Trump’s plan to reopen the economy similarly does so in phases, ‘one careful step at a time.’”

“But Democrats have been more forceful in their rhetoric, not just against protesters but also by keeping states closed.”

AGAIN…, THE CURE CAN’T BE WORSE THAN THE DISEASE ITSELF!

The democrats are dealt some heat by Hall of Fame pitcher Goose Gossage!

As a Milwaukee Brewers fan, I can remember back to the days when the Brewers would be playing the Yankees and their “closer,” Goose Gossage, would be called in from their bullpen to finish us off.

Gossage would calmly stroll to the pitcher’s mound to the tune, “Bad to the Bone,” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, and the crowd chanting “Goose, Goose, Goose.”

He was “bad to the bone,” and he normally would finish us off in short order.

Well, he’s retired from baseball now, but he’s still firing fastballs of the truth at a new team…, The Washington Liberals!”

Ryan Gaydos of Fox News reports that, “[Hall of Fame closer Goose] Gossage, who has gotten political over the last few years and has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, told NJ.com he wants to see some of the top Democrats go to jail.”

‘“I’m hoping and I’m praying that these (expletive) go off the cliff to never be heard from again,’ Gossage said. ‘All of them! Nancy Pelosi and that lying Chuck Schumer. And then (expletive) Robert Mueller and the (expletive) Mueller Report, and the FBI … I hope some of them go to jail!’”

It seems that Goose is venting his frustration regarding our apparent two-tiered justice system, which sees liberal politicians and various members of “the swamp” get away with just about anything, while the rest of us are held to the letter of the law.

“Gossage, who reminisced with the newspaper about the life of Hank Steinbrenner, said it’s Trump who can be the only person to replace Steinbrenner as owner of the Yankees. He also said he was an unabashed Trump supporter.”

“The former Yankees pitcher told NJ.com he felt Trump was being unfairly criticized for how he handled the coronavirus pandemic.”

That’s true, Goose, but it shouldn’t be of any surprise.

President Trump is unfairly criticized on a daily basis, for whatever he does, by the democrats and the liberal propaganda, fake news media.

‘“It’s just lies, lies, BS, BS,’ he said. ‘They don’t even respect the election. The majority of liberals still think the Russians got him in office. They all want him out of power.’”

“He added that he believes Democrats want the economy to be in the gutter in order for Joe Biden to claim the White House in November.”

‘“I cannot even fathom that they would go to this length, but this is the last straw,’ Gossage said. ‘Where would you attack Trump? In the economy. That’s all they have. And let me tell you something, people are (expletive) dying and the liberals could give a rat’s a-s.’”

At this point, Goose, there isn’t any length the democrats won’t go to.

‘“Our civil liberties are under siege. And Biden, he can’t put two (expletive) sentences together!’”

“Gossage said he was a Democrat who voted for former President Barack Obama and that Trump ‘earned’ his vote during the 2016 election.”

“Gossage [who] pitched from 1972 to 1994…, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008. He was a World Series champion in 1978 with the Yankees, was a nine-time All-Star and finished in the top five in Cy Young voting four times.”

Goose’s new theme song should be “Sad but true,” by Metallica!

If we aren’t in the middle of an emergency, what would you call it?!

Jacob Pramuk for CNBC reports that, “The House will not return to Washington until May 4 ‘unless it has to pass an emergency bill.’”

“The Senate is set to return April 20 as of now.”

“The House will not come back to Washington until at least May 4 unless it needs to pass emergency measures to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, [Democrat] Majority Leader [A congressman from Maryland, and the second ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives behind Nancy Pelosi] Steny Hoyer’s office told representatives Monday.”

“House members, most of whom have been in their districts for all of April as Covid-19 spreads, will not have to travel to Washington before May 4 ‘absent an emergency,’ the Maryland Democrat’s office said. It added that lawmakers would get ‘sufficient notice’ if they have to travel to Washington to vote on coronavirus legislation.”

“Absent an emergency?”

Pelosi and Hoyer don’t think what the country is experiencing right now is an emergency?

The money set aside for small business relief, $350 billion, has already run out, and many small businesses and their employees are in jeopardy.

That’s not an emergency enough for you, Steny?

That’s not an emergency enough for you, Nancy?

“As efforts to stall the coronavirus’ spread have wrecked the U.S. economy…, Senate Republicans last week tried to pass a bill to inject $250 billion more into a small business loan program set up in the rescue legislation. Democrats blocked the measure, then the GOP rejected a Democratic counter offer that included more money for states and hospitals fighting the pandemic, along with funding for food assistance programs.”

Can we not just increase the money available to small businesses, and then address all of this other stuff with a separate bill?

Do we really have to muddy the waters every time with every bill?

It really shouldn’t be that difficult.

“While Democrats have held some discussions with the Trump administration on the issue, neither major party’s congressional leaders have showed a willingness to back down from their demands yet.”

Just like the band on board The Titanic playing while the ship was sinking.

“Republicans refused to back down over the weekend. In a joint statement Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, ‘they reject the Democrats’ reckless threat to continue blocking job-saving funding unless we renegotiate unrelated programs which are not in similar peril.’”

Like I said, “Can we not just increase the money available to small businesses, and then address all of this other stuff with a separate bill?”

“While Congress has been out of the Capitol, the coronavirus has taken a steeper human and economic toll. U.S. Covid-19 cases now top 560,000, and the disease has been linked to more than 22,800 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.”

“Meanwhile, more than 16 million people have filed new jobless claims over a three-week period.”

You think Sleepy Joe Biden should do what?!

According to Dom Calicchio of Fox News, “The U.S. presidential election is still seven months away but an MSNBC host is already suggesting that Democrat Joe Biden set up a ‘shadow government’ against the Trump administration amid the coronavirus outbreak.”

“Stephanie Ruhle pitched the idea Wednesday during an interview with Jim Messina, who served as deputy chief of staff of operations under former President Barack Obama.”

Uh, helloooo Stephanie…, the democrats already have a “shadow government” set up…, it’s called “the deep state,” or “the swamp.”

Unless you’re calling for a Civil War type of situation, like when the Confederates established their own separate government.

Is that what you’re calling for Stephanie?

You said Biden should “set up a shadow government against the Trump administration.”

You do realize that President Trump’s administration is our administration…, The United States’ administration, don’t you?

Are you proposing some kind of treasonous type plot, Stephanie…, ala “the lovers,” Peter Strzok and Lisa Page?

I mean the Democrats versus the Republicans thing can only go so far, right?

In the end we are all Americans, right?

Because it seems like you are suggesting that the democrats should be actively subverting and undermining the duly elected government of these United States.

It seems like you are suggesting that the democrats should be actively subverting and undermining the duly elected president of these United States.

That definitely sound revolutionary to me, Stephanie, and at least treasonous in nature.

Are you sure that’s what you’re suggesting?

“Ruhle asked whether Biden should be offering his own version of a daily coronavirus briefing, to compete with the White House sessions that Trump has been leading to keep the public informed about the U.S. response to the outbreak.”

‘“Then do they need to do it in a bigger way?’ she asked about the Biden campaign. ‘What did you call it, the president’s daily clown show — that’s his press briefing?’”

Talk about “a clown show!”

‘“Should Joe Biden be counter-programming that?’ Ruhle asked. ‘Should he be creating his own shadow government, shadow Cabinet, shadow SWAT team — and getting up there at a podium every night, saying, “Here’s the crisis we’re in, here’s what we need to do to address this”?’”

Sooooo, let me get this straight…, you want Sleepy Joe to get up and give a coronavirus briefing every day, just like President Trump does, except Sleepy Joe’s briefing would carry no weight and would only serve to confuse people, at the expense making Creepy Joe seem important or relative?

What a good suggestion, Stephanie! That is exactly the type of idiotic suggestion we would expect to originate from some clueless liberal at MSNBC.

“Messina responded: ‘Well, he’s done some of that, right? He’s released the most comprehensive plans of what to do during this COVID crisis.’”

Oh really, Messina?

“He’s released the most comprehensive plans of what to do during this COVID crisis?”

Is this response similar to the response he and his buddy Barack hatched during the H1N1 flu (swine flu) crisis a few years back?

You know…, the pandemic from 2009-2010 which saw up to 89 million cases and up to 18,300 deaths in the U.S. according to the CDC.

You know…, the response that wasn’t?

There were no closures.

There were no cancellations of anything.

There was no shutting down the economy.

There were no travel bans.

There were no quarantines.

There was no social distancing.

Nothing.

Nice response Joe.

But now you have all of the answers?

They say hind sight is 20/20…, but I guess hind sight is all you have when your head is up you’re a$$!!!

I value your feedback and I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

CNN is MIA!

Again?

Yes…, “CNN is missing in action on Biden assault accuser Tara Reade’s story.”

And they’re not the only media outlet missing in action.

The rest of the fake news media is choosing to turn its back on this story as well.

According to Joseph A. Wulfsohn of Fox News, “It has been nearly three weeks [over three weeks now] since former congressional staffer Tara Reade spoke out about her 1993 sexual assault accusation against former Vice President Joe Biden, but it wasn’t until Easter Sunday that it began receiving any attention from the mainstream media.”

“And if you only watch CNN, you still haven’t heard about it.”

“For 18 days, as the coronavirus outbreak dominated the news cycle, Reade’s claim was not covered by the biggest media outlets following her March 25 interview with progressive podcast host Katie Halper. CNN, MSNBC and the three broadcast networks did not offer any on-air coverage or articles on their websites about the alleged assault. The New York Times and The Washington Post, two papers that dedicated extensive reporting to sex assault allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, were also mum on the matter.”

That, folks, is what we call propaganda by omission…, as well as “selective outrage.”

“In addition, in seven televised interviews [Creepy Joe] Biden has done since Reade came forward with her allegation, he was never asked about it. This includes three interviews on MSNBC, two appearances on CNN and appearances on the Sunday morning news shows on ABC and NBC. Prominent anchors like Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos never questioned the presumptive Democratic nominee, instead focusing on the pandemic and President Trump’s handling of the crisis.”

Never asked about it.

“The absence of reporting from these outlets was notable enough for the satirical news site ‘The Onion’ to address, mocking the Times on Thursday with the headline: ‘New York Times’ Pledges To Cover Biden Sexual Assault Allegations in Upcoming Crossword.’”

“The tides began to shift following Rich McHugh’s report in Business Insider on Friday that Reade had filed a criminal complaint against Biden. The New York Times ran its first report about the allegation on Sunday morning as millions of Americans were observing Easter. The Washington Post and NBC News issued their own reports later that day.”

“NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck blasted the ‘slowness’ of the media’s reporting on Reade’s allegation and insisted that the timing of the recent reports was suspect.”

‘“The liberal media’s slowness has provided a whole new meaning to the term [dragged in] “kicking and screaming,” because that’s exactly how the press have approached Reade’s story. Not only have they deceptively tried to sneak this in to coincide with Easter, but they’ve displayed shameful skepticism and even disgust when evaluating her,’ Houck told Fox News. ‘Most disturbingly, the Times chose to allow the Biden campaign to edit their story, and it illustrated the depths to which the press will go to show that Biden is no Brett Kavanaugh.’”

Quite different as to how the fake news media, the democrats, and liberals everywhere treated Kavanaugh accusers Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.

Yes, quite different, like completely different.

Where is the daily, and non-stop, media outrage?

Where are the daily protests in front of The Supreme Court?

Where is the concern for women’s voices to be heard?

Do you remember the “#METOO” movement?

Well, that movement has become the #METOO (only if my accusations do not pose any harm to the current liberal narrative and/or democrat candidates).

My last comment isn’t intended to be funny. I’m only dragging the democrat’s blatant hypocrisy out into the sunlight for all to see, and stating what should be the obvious.

Can anyone, who is at least a little fair-minded, not recognize and acknowledge this?

“The Times raised eyebrows on Sunday after it deleted a tweet and tweaked its report about the 1993 accusation made by former Biden staffer Tara Reade, which originally read, ‘No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade’s allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.’”

Some people may say, “All the way back in 1993…, that’s 27 years ago!”

But please let me remind you that Kavanaugh’s accusers dated all the way back to when he was in high school and college!

Creepy Joe Biden was a U.S. Senator, for 20 years already, at the time of Reade’s accusations.

“No correction or editor’s note was made in the report, but the Times later explained the deleted tweet, saying, ‘We’ve deleted a tweet in this thread that had some imprecise language that has been changed in the story.’”

“Imprecise language,” huh?

I haven’t heard that exact terminology before.

I’ll have to ad that to my “liberal dictionary!”

“Imprecise language” is that wording which has not been sufficiently spun, so as to put a liberal or a liberal narrative in the most advantageous and positive light.

“Dean Baquet, the Times’ executive editor, suggested on Monday that the change was influenced by the Biden campaign.”

‘“Even though a lot of us, including me, had looked at it before the story went into the paper, I think that the campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct, and that’s not what the sentence was intended to say,’ Baquet said.”

And, of course, Dean, you give President Trump the opportunity to correct phrasing that is “awkward” when you report about him or his administration, don’t you?

That’s a rhetorical question, Mr. Baquet…, don’t sweat the answer.

“Actress Rose McGowan, one of the sexual assault victims of disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, took aim at the Post over its report on Reade.”

‘“This is not journalism, this is an agenda. This is a hit piece. You’ve sunk to a new low in slanted journalism and victim shaming @WashingtonPost,’ McGowan tweeted.”

‘“As a survivor, the way you launched into this woman’s assault is truly vile,’ McGowan added. ‘Your motto is “Democracy Dies in Darkness” well I guess it’s dead because you are dark. Evil lives and it loves the DNC.

@rosemcgowan’”

Good for you Rose McGowan!

I haven’t agreed with some of your stances in the past, but congratulations on nailing this one right on the head and recognizing this whole situation for what it is…, a liberal propaganda, hypocritical, mess.

“Meanwhile, despite the partial dam that broke within the mainstream media, CNN and CBS News have yet to offer any [ANY] coverage of the story both on-air and online, according to searches of their telecasts and Internet archives.”

“McHugh, who broke the story on Reade’s filed criminal complaint against Biden, was formerly the producer at NBC News who teamed with Ronan Farrow to break the Harvey Weinstein scandal in 2017, which was ultimately killed by the network.”

‘“After interviewing Tara on multiple occasions, I interviewed two of the people she told back in 1993 — her friend and her younger brother. I found them both extremely credible and they corroborated her story to me. So when Tara filed a criminal complaint, and told me she was willing to go under oath, it was clear her claims needed to be reported. Simple as that,’ McHugh told Fox News.”

“Reade initially stepped forward last year, when multiple women emerged claiming inappropriate touching by Biden. Reade, at the time, claimed Biden put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed his fingers up and down her neck, but the story got no traction aside from an article in a local newspaper.”

“In late-March, Reade told a far more graphic account, with different and more serious details, raising the allegation to the level of sexual assault.”

“Reade’s story first resurfaced in an article in The Intercept. Podcast host Katie Halper then interviewed Reade, who said that in 1993, a more senior member of Biden’s staff asked her to bring the then-senator his gym bag near the Capitol building, which led to the encounter in question.”

‘“He greeted me, he remembered my name, and then we were alone. It was the strangest thing,’ Reade told Halper. ‘There was no like, exchange really. He just had me up against the wall.’”

“Reade said she tried to share her story last year, but nobody listened to her. This past Thursday, she filed a criminal complaint against Biden with police in Washington, D.C.”

“The Biden campaign vehemently denied Reade’s allegation.”

Like they always do…, lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny.

‘“Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims. We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false,’ Kate Bedingfield, the deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden campaign, said in a statement to Fox News.”

Just empty words, Kate…, just empty words.

Howard Kurtz of Fox News adds, “The woman who says Joe Biden sexually assaulted her a quarter century ago certainly has some weaknesses and discrepancies in her account. But Tara Reade has more corroboration for her claim than Christine Blasey Ford did when she made her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018. And yet the differences in the way the media treated both cases are stark, raising unmistakable questions of a double standard.”

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just endorsed Biden, but said of the allegations at a public forum: ‘I think it’s legitimate to talk about these things. And if we want, if we, again, want to have integrity, you can’t say, you know — both believe women, support all of this, until it inconveniences you, until it inconveniences us.’”

That’s my girl, AOC!

Our politics are definitely world’s apart, but as I have stated in the past, you do display some integrity from time to time, which is a redeeming quality many of your fellow democrats lack.

I value your feedback and I’d love to hear from you!

EXTRA, EXTRA, Read all about it! Obama endorses Biden for President!

In a stunning political move, former President Barack Obama has gone out on a limb and endorsed his own former Vice President, Joe Biden.

“Gutsiest move I ever saw, man.” – Quote from the movie “Top Gun”

Now that Biden is the only democrat candidate for president left standing, Obama’s endorsement is particularly meaningless and disingenuous.

Obama coming out and endorsing Creepy Joe at this point is like Barack coming out now and saying the Kansas City Chiefs were his favorites in the Super Bowl.

The Los Angeles Times, of course, chose to spin this revelation a little differently.

Janet Hook of The Los Angeles Times writes, “In a boost to Biden, Obama endorses his former vice president.”

Oh, yes!

What a “boost” Creepy Joe will get against…, against…, no one!

Your old buddy Creepy Joe is already the democrat candidate for president, in case you didn’t notice, Barack.

“WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama on Tuesday formally endorsed Joe Biden for president, a big step in helping to unite their party and marking his own entry into the fight against President Donald Trump.”

Oh, yes!

What a “big step” it is!

Who else could Obama have possibly endorsed at this point…, Donald Trump?!

Your “big step” is actually more like a stumble.

“There had been little doubt that Obama would back his former vice president once Biden had a lock on the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination [Well, that’s saying a lot!], but Obama — one of the most popular Democrats in the country — had steadfastly withheld any endorsement during the long party contest that featured numerous contenders.”

“Yes…, I am officially endorsing my old friend, Quid Pro Quo Joe, now that there isn’t anyone else left to potentially endorse.”

‘“Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made,’ Obama said.”

Now there I may have to agree with you Barack!

Choosing Creepy Joe, the lifelong establishment senator, as your running mate in 2007 wasn’t the best decision, but it turned out to be one of your better decisions…, looking back on all of your decisions.

‘“… and he became a close friend.’ Obama said, speaking straight to the camera in the 12-minute video. ‘And I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now.’”

Believe me, Barack…, the “qualities” you feel a president needs and the qualities I want in my president to have are quite different.

Now let’s listen to the coordinated excuses as to why this endorsement was so late in coming.

“The high-level endorsements are part of an orchestrated effort to unify the Democratic Party for the general-election push to defeat Trump, and to avoid the kind of lingering post-primary divisions that hampered the 2016 nominee, Hillary Clinton.”

“Obama did not endorse anyone during the primary season because, sources close to him said, he believed his most important role would be as the uniter after a competition that pitted the party establishment that Biden represented and the liberal wing that [Senator Bernie] Sanders leads.”

“In his endorsement video for Biden, Obama lavished praise on Sanders.”

Of course he did. The democrats aren’t going anywhere without the Bernie supporters…, who feel they got railroaded for the second time now.

“Obama also defended Biden against criticism from the left that his agenda is not bold enough to tackle the nation’s problems.”

‘“Joe already has what is the most progressive platform of any major party nominee in history,’ Obama said.”

You can sure say that again, Barack! You could add “anti-American” and self-serving in there as well!

I value your feedback and I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

The most important election of our lifetimes…, WAS THE LAST ONE!

Matt Flegenheimer for The New York Times asks, “What if the Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes Was the Last One?”

My response to him would be the last election, in 2016, was definitely the most important election of our lifetimes.

The election of 2016 showed that the people who really care about our country could still win a national election, regardless of the blatant liberal propaganda media and the millions of fraudulent votes fabricated by the liberal democrats.

The election of 2016 put an end to the appeasement of Muslim terrorists and those who support them.

The election of 2016 put an end to the wholesale shipment of American jobs overseas.

The election of 2016 put an end to the allowance of virtually every foreign country taking advantage of us via unfair trade agreements and policies.

The election of 2016 ended our dependence on oil from the Middle East.

The election of 2016 brought manufacturing back to America, most importantly of steel, which was a national defense concern.

The election of 2016 has put a finger in the dyke of the seemingly never ending leak of illegal and dangerous immigrants into our country.

The election of 2016 has brought to light many abuses perpetrated by the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA and more, which would have never even been known had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election.

The election of 2016 forced the liberal propaganda, fake news media to finally, and unquestionably, show themselves for who they are…, an arm of the democrat party, an enemy of our country an enemy of the American people.

The election of 2016 short circuited the unconstitutional UN-Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare, and the attempted government takeover of our private healthcare system.

The election of 2016 brought long awaited reforms which improved the performance of the VA system and the overall treatment of our veterans.

The election of 2016 resulted in the rebuilding and upgrading of our military across the board.

The election of 2016 also resulted in the slashing of thousands and thousands of suffocating and obstructing federal regulations.

Other than that, the election of 2016 wasn’t important at all!

Flegenheimer continues, “Politics runs on superlative: the best plan, the biggest rally, the most votes.”

“And one trope [a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression] has proved most enduring of all, repeated each campaign season with well-practiced conviction.”

Hold on a minute.

What is it with these “reporters” from The Times and The Post? Why do they always feel the need to interject some word that no one ever uses?

I’m sure Flegenheimer spent quite a bit of time coming up with that “elitist word of the day.”

Anyway…, back to the one “figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression which has proved most enduring of all, and repeated each campaign season with well-practiced conviction.”

‘“This is the most important election of our lifetimes,’ Bernie Sanders said of 2020 last month.”

‘“The most important election of our lives,’ Pete Buttigieg agreed in February.”

‘“Maybe the most important election,’ Joe Biden ruled last year, hedging slightly, ‘no matter how young or old you are.’”

“Maybe. But what if they’re wrong this time? What if the other clichés — of dice cast and Rubicons [defining moments] crossed [there we go again] — have finally overwritten this one? [I actually think he meant to say ‘dies cast.’]”

“What if the most important election of our lifetimes happened already?”

“[President] Trump is in charge during a generational emergency, briefing the nation on life and death with an eye toward television ratings and miracle cures. It can feel unlikely that any choice in 2020 will be as consequential as the fact that he won in the first place.”

“Another Democratic primary day passed on Tuesday, this one in Wisconsin, and with it another reminder of the present limits of presidential politics, of how large the last decision looms and how distant the next one seems.”

Regarding the 2016 election, ‘“It was the rejection of business as usual,’ said Rebecca Kirszner Katz, a progressive Democratic strategist. ‘And that includes any form of competent governing.’”

The word “competent” being a matter of opinion, of course.

To be sure the 2016 election was “the rejection of business as usual.” And if you believe career establishment politicians and anti-American policies represent competency, then Ms. Kirszner Katz is your girl.

“Recent weeks have at once exposed the messiness of the federal virus response and the consistency of [President] Trump’s rampaging leadership instincts, delivering a moment that has at last closed the gap between the permanent chaos of his White House, a once-remote sideshow for many Americans, and the daily upheaval in their own lives.”

Okay, Mr. Flegenheimer, I just have to dissect this last remark.

“The messiness of the federal virus response?”

At least we have a federal response!

And what is “messy” about it? We have daily, transparent, briefings from The President and his team, and plan of action that’s endorsed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

What kind of “response” was put together by any other president in the last 50+ years regarding a “response” to a potentially dangerous virus?

Go ahead Flegenheimer…, talk amongst your friends…, I’ll wait.

I hate to interrupt, but…

Don’t you recall other presidents banning travel from foreign countries?

Don’t you recall other presidents ordering that people be quarantined before reentering our country?

Don’t you recall other presidents shutting down educational systems across the country in order to guard against the spread of a virus?

Don’t you recall other presidents ordering all non-essential business be suspended and all personal interactions be limited in order to guard against the spread of a virus?

NO, OF COURSE YOU DON’T, Flegenheimer!

YOU DON’T RECALL ANY OTHER PRESIDENTS DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING…, BESIDES GIVE US ALL A BUNCH OF MEANINGLESS LIP SERVICE!

Please let me remind you, Flegenheimer, since you seem to be factually challenged…,

… we currently have seen 1.9 million coronavirus cases worldwide, resulting in 120,500 deaths.

… we currently have seen 555,000 cases in the United States, resulting in 21,900 deaths.

… in 2009, the H1N1 virus, or the Swine Flu, effected a billion people worldwide, with 284,000 estimated fatalities. How come our country wasn’t shut down for this outbreak, President Obama? Sleepy Joe Biden? Anybody?

… in 2003 we had the SARS virus.

… in 1999 we had the West Nile Virus.

… in 1968 we had the H3N2 virus, or the Hong Kong Flu, where 33,800 people died in the U.S.

… and in 1957 over a million people died from the Asian Flu worldwide, while 116,000 died in the United States.

When have we cancelled, closed, or shut down anything before because of a virus?

The correct answer is NEVER.

Getting back to your remark…, “[President] Trump’s rampaging leadership instincts,” could also be referred to as decisive, informed leadership, which has saved tens of thousands of lives.

And then you talk about “a moment that has at last closed the gap between the permanent chaos of his White House, a once-remote sideshow for many Americans, and the daily upheaval in their own lives.”

May I suggest that any “chaos” in the White House, if there is any, is instigated and nurtured by you and your friends in the liberal propaganda, fake news media, and your democrat friends.

‘“What do you have to lose?’ [President] Trump famously asked black voters in 2016, suggesting he was a risk worth taking. He has repeated the question more recently in a new context: to encourage stricken citizens, in defiance of expert opinion, to try an anti-malarial drug to combat the coronavirus.”

Again, aiding you in your “factual challengedness,” Mr. Flegenheimer, the drug you’re referring to is hydroxychloroquine, and it has been proven to be quite effective in many cases. In fact, many have given the drug credit for saving their lives.

“Of course, the answer to [President] Trump’s initial prompt has always been evident to most Democrats. At stake were health care plans, immigration policies, a generation of court seats and now, they say, many lives that would not have been lost to the coronavirus under more capable executive stewardship.”

And, of course, “the answer” to your answer is that your answer is all politically motivated anti-Trump propaganda and fake news.

‘“I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time,’ Biden said in his announcement video last year. ‘But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation.’”

Only in a positive way, Sleepy Joe…, only in a positive way.

Oh, and by the way, Sleepy Joe, wasn’t it you who called President Trump a “xenophobe” [a person having a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries] for blocking any travel from China at the onset of the outbreak, and probably saving tens of thousands of American lives as a result?

Yes…, it was you Sleepy Joe…, don’t be shy!

‘“The striking thing about the first term is how much damage he was able to inflict,’ said Robert [the third] Reich, a former labor secretary under Bill Clinton who endorsed Sanders in the primary. ‘At the margin, he probably could do more with two terms, and I wouldn’t wish that on this nation. But he’s already done a huge amount.’”

Reich’s level of confusion here is both stunning and impressive.

How could a former labor secretary describe President Trump’s accomplishments regarding the lowest unemployment rates across the board, in history, as “damage?”

“In less trying times, Biden’s record on the subject had been consistent.”

Yes…, consistently a bunch of hot air.

‘“The most important election you’ve ever been part of,’ he told voters in 2018, rallying for midterm candidates.”

‘“The most important election,’ he said in 2016, stumping for Hillary Clinton, ‘in any of your lives.’”

Yeah…, we know…, it’s like, “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Period. If you like your plan you can keep your plan. Period.”

They’re all just disingenuous words spouting out of an establishment politician’s mouth for the sake of those ignorant enough to believe them.

WINNING!

“It’s the end of the world as we know it!”

Yes my friends…, according to an astute Biden advisor, “It’s the end of the world as we know it!”

Tyler Olson of Fox News reports that, “Biden adviser, ObamaCare architect Zeke Emanuel says US should prepare for coronavirus measures to last 18 months.”

For those of you counting, that’s another year and a half!

ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this idiot and his advisee, Sleepy, Creepy Joe, think our country can afford to be shut down another year and a half?!

ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WON’T HAVE A COUNTRY LEFT IN ANOTHER 6 MONTHS, MUCH LESS 18 MORE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!

“Dr. Zeke Emanuel, an adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on the coronavirus, said this week that Americans could be dealing with strict social distancing measures to combat the coronavirus for 18 months and that the U.S. ‘will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications.’”

Wait a minute. Emanuel? That name sounds familiar. He’s not related to Rahm Emanuel, is he?

You know…, the same Rahm Emanuel who was Obama’s chief of staff, and then the worst mayor in Chicago’s history.

And now Sleepy Joe has enlisted Rahm’s equally clueless brother, Zeke, as his medical adviser?

What a small, incestuous, world.

“Emanuel, one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, is on the Biden campaign’s ‘Public Health Advisory Committee,’ which is set up to ‘provide science-based, expert advice regarding steps the campaign should take to minimize health risks for the candidate, staff, and supporters,’ according to a March press release.”

Being an “architect” of ObamaCare is akin to being an architect of The Titanic!

And this is the guy that Quid Pro Quo Joe chooses to get his “expert,” “science-based” advice from?

“His comments… seem to paint a more grim picture of the country’s ability to roll back shutdowns of businesses and public life in general that are aimed at reducing the spread of the virus…”

Yes…, Emmanuel’s comments certainly do “seem to paint a more grim picture” for our country, to say the very least!

‘“Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications,’ Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s ‘Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.’”

‘“I know that’s dreadful news to hear,’ the Biden adviser continued. ‘How are people supposed to find work if this goes on in some form for a year and a half? Is all that economic pain worth trying to stop COVID-19? The truth is we have no choice. … We cannot return to normal until there’s a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure.’”

“He added: ‘We need to prepare ourselves for this to last 18 months or so and for the toll that it will take.’”

I just have to ask…, does anyone reading this really believe The United States could survive an additional 18 month economic shut down?

How about an additional 12 month shut down?

An additional 6 month shutdown?

No, of course we can’t.

Nobody could believe that…, except Zeke Emmanuel, Sleepy, Creepy Joe Biden, and MSNBC stooge Lawrence O’Donnell.

Aren’t there just some people you’d like to smack the stupid look right off of their face?

Well, Lawrence O’Donnell fits that bill for me.

O’Donnell reminds me of a grown-up Beavis from “Beavis and Butthead.”

Seriously…, can’t you see it?!

“The stark warning from Emanuel seems to contrast with comments by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the face of the White House’s coronavirus response. He predicted that American students would be able to return to school this fall even if the virus is still lingering.”

‘“I fully expect – though, I’m humble enough to know that I can’t accurately predict – that by the time we get to the fall that we will have this under control, enough that it certainly will not be the way it is now where people are shutting schools,’ Fauci said.”

“Fauci said that with increased testing for coronavirus antibodies, doctors will be able to identify people who have caught the disease and now have a natural immunity to it, therefore showing how much herd immunity the U.S. as a whole has to the virus.”

“Additionally, more widespread testing for the virus itself would allow health authorities to better ‘identify and isolate,’ in a way that countries with more successful early responses to the coronavirus have been able to.”

Yes…, “It’s the end of the world as we know it…, and I feel fine.”

I value your feedback and I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

CNN keeps “doubling down” on their liberal agenda.

Yes folks, CNN does not even pretend to be fair and balanced, unbiased, news anymore.

CNN is squarely and unapologetically in the corner of the liberals and the democrats…, and it’s been that way for years now.

Truth is not their concern…, only the promotion of the liberal narrative…, whatever that may currently be.

CNN and the fake news media was most recently called out when radio talk show host and the host of the TV show “Life, Liberty and Levin, Mark Levin, targeted CNN’s fake news poster child, Jim Acosta.

Joshua Nelson of Fox News reported that, “Mark Levin blasts CNN’s Jim Acosta: ‘He should wear a mask and a dunce cap.’”

Ha! Yeah! Now that would be worth watching!

“Fox News host Mark Levin was one of the many who blasted CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta for interrupting Dr. Deborah Birx during a White House press briefing on the coronavirus last week.”

‘“Jim Acosta’s not a news reporter. He’s a self-aggrandizing narcissist. Exactly what America doesn’t need during the pandemic. He should wear a mask and a dunce cap.” Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow.’ Mark Levin tweeted.”

And Acosta isn’t alone. He’s just the current face of the most recent batch of fake news, liberal propagandists, masquerading as journalists.

Acosta, being CNN’s “chief White House correspondent,” means he can lie and misrepresent anything with a straight face…, kind of like Bill Clinton!

“Levin also “linked” to a Washington Free Beacon opinion piece which blasted Acosta for his conduct at White House press briefings, accusing him of using the events to make a name for himself.”

Continuing with the coronavirus White House press conference, “[Dr.] Birx addressed the apparent errors the World Health Organization (WHO) made leading up to the outbreak in the U.S. as something that should be examined.”

‘“I will remind you that on February 3^rd [only about a month ago], the head of the WHO said there was no reason to ever do a travel ban,’ Dr. Birx said. ‘It wasn’t until January 14th that we knew that there was human-to-human transmission,’ she continued.”

The Daily Caller tweeted, ‘“Jim Acosta interrupts Dr. Birx as she criticizes the WHO’s response to coronavirus. @DailyCaller,’” while posting a video of the exchange.

“Acosta quickly derailed her observations about WHO to knock President Trump.”

‘“Dr. Birx, the president was saying this was going to go away,’ Acosta said. ‘It’s April.’”

“Many took to social media to blast the reporter.”

‘“Jim Acosta’s interruption of Dr. Birx is an example of how CNN’s echo-journalism model is destroying the media’s credibility. Every question from Acosta is an effort to score points rather than elicit information. It is a press pandemic that continues to rage without relief. @JonathanTurley’”

“CNN did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.”

Oh really?

Does that surprise anybody?

CNN feels it isn’t accountable to anybody…, and certainly not Fox News. George Soros, maybe…, but not Fox News nor any of us “deplorables.”
