The Case of the COVID-19 ‘Black Widow’: Police Are Investigating Wanda Lenius

  Last month, I told you about how Wanda poisoned her husband Gary in Arizona — allegedly, I hasten to add, because certainly I myself have no direct knowledge of the matter and wouldn’t want to deal with the hassle of a libel suit. I’m just repeating what Ace said, a defense that would probably […]

New York’s ‘Curve’ Has Been Bent

  Look very closely at that image from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s press briefing Sunday. The daily peak of new COVID-19 hospitalizations — 3,177, based on three-day rolling averages — was three weeks ago. The latest number, 1,087 on Saturday, represents a 66% reduction. Think about this, and remember that the whole point of […]

Gov. Cuomo: ‘You Can Go to Work and You Can Be an Essential Worker’

Are you currently unemployed because your governor declared your employment to be “non-essential” and you can’t get a job working for a cable news channel? Don’t worry, says the governor: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that protesters calling for the state to reopen the economy so they can go back to work could […]

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Is the ‘Hero of the Fascist Lockdown Lobby’

He wonders why people are being told they can’t drive but New […]

COVID-19: The Insanity Pandemic

  Long before anyone heard of the Wuhan coronavirus, America was already gripped by a pandemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Our news media were particularly hard-hit by that illness, and unless you were immune to TDS, it was not safe to expose yourself to CNN or MSNBC. An irrational desire to blame Trump for […]

COVID-19: The Democrat Disease

  Part of the developing liberal media narrative about COVID-19 pandemic is that black people are disproportionately impacted by the disease. The usual explanation for this is that black people have more “underlying conditions” — heart disease, Type II diabetes, etc. — that so often make the difference between having a mild case of coronavirus […]

Jan. 30: ‘We Still Believe the Immediate Risk to the American Public Is Low’

CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield. The first five known cases of COVID-19 in the United States were all patients who had recently traveled to Wuhan, China. Case No. 1 was in Snohomish County, Washington. Case No. 2 was in Chicago. Cases No. 3 and 4 were in Orange County, California, and Case No. 5 was […]

Oregon’s Pointless COVID-19 Lockdown

  Wednesday, Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Kate Brown announced that the state’s public schools would not re-open this school year, and also extended “indefinitely” an order closing restaurants and bars. That order, issued last month, had been scheduled to end April 15. A simple question: Why? Oregon’s schools must be doing a lousy job of teaching […]
