Now that this frightening outbreak has captured our collective consciousness, the president should seize the opportunity to take his tough posture vis-à-vis the Chinese to a whole new level – and announce that for the sake of our economic wellbeing, national security, public health and consumer safety, America is indeed going to recast our relationship.
However serious it may turn out to be, this flareup has given all of us, including Wall Street, a serious and painful wake-up call: that coronavirus and the resulting panics are what happens when a nation – seemingly inextricably – links its economy and entire way of life to a country whose system is completely inimical.
But also an opportunity to prove the coupling is extricable after all – by pressing, Hillary Clinton-style, the famous “reset” button, this time with China. Perhaps spelled right (however it’s rendered in Mandarin). And policy-wise, in an opposite, decidedly less accommodative direction.
That we will progressively wean ourselves off the Middle Kingdom’s brutal, criminal dictatorship; its crooked, immoral, hazardous and larcenous business activities; its unhygienic practices; and its antagonistic rhetoric and actions.
That, until and unless China cleans up its act, we will promote and even mandate the shift of business and commerce to safer, saner, more reliable, less hostile and most important, more humane locations – including and especially the good old US of A.

President Trump: The Anti-Marionette
"In a perverse way .. we have the Democrats to thank for this respite from the headlong plunge over the cliff of government power and corruption"
For the Deep StateTM and the political class of America, one of the most frustrating things about President Trump is his conspicuous lack of private or secret funding. They cannot fathom a politician without strings attached, without a handler, someone who is not beholden to anyone. Because those are things that they use to control and manipulate each other.
That's why they had to invent Russian collusion. That's why they had to go after his children with fake charges. That's why they had to make the laughable accusation that he was somehow connected to and beholden to Jeffrey Epstein. And on and on and on.
They cannot imagine a politician who is not part of their sleazy, backroom world in which quid pro quo is a fact of life, where money stolen from the American people is funneled from person to person in payment of political debt.
Did they realize early on that he was uncontrollable by conventional means? Probably. But they have been operating with the same playbook for so long they simply had no idea how to deal with a truly independent man.
Would he have been the disruptive force we are blessed with had the Democrats been smarter? Would he have remade our courts and gutted the regulatory state and protected (at least more than other presidents) our fighting men? I don't know, and it is academic at this point. But my guess is that yes, he would have, but without the urgency and speed. In a perverse way .. we have the Democrats to thank for this respite from the headlong plunge over the cliff of government power and corruption.
Am I the only one who is giddy with anticipation for his second term?
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Project Fear Will Fail
Have they scared you yet? Me neither.
Project Fear is ramping up, and it’s only going to get worse. The Democrats and the global establishment class do not care how many lives are lost or how much financial damage results. They have only one concern: removing President Trump from power, silencing us, and bending the arc of history back toward the plutocratic governing elite.
That is why the election year of 2016 will always mark a turning point in American history. 2016 was significant not just because President Trump won, but because so many of us looked around and realized just how many of us there actually are. For years we had been minimized and mocked and made to feel very much alone.
Their attacks on the legitimacy of the 2016 election and attempts to overturn it have created an unrelenting siege against all of us who would have gladly gone back to our own lives until the 2020 election. Because they have given us no peace, however, they have made us sharp for what lies ahead.
A growing number of Americans finally see who the Democrats are and what they are capable of inflicting upon their fellow citizens. There is a fire before us; we must walk through it; but we no longer have to do so alone.

Democrats and their media talking heads are busy blaming Trump for the virus in every way they possibly can.
As they were busy impeaching the man, he was assembling a task force, banning incoming flights from China, and preparing for what has developed.
So desperate to take this man down, the left has thrown any sense of decorum and civility to the wind. The barely sentient Joe Biden is actually using the virus to solicit donations to his pathetic campaign.
Pelosi and her crowd are trying to get every wild spending program they can into the bill that should only be dealing with the ramifications of the virus.
The Democratic Party and their handmaidens in the media are gleefully sacrificing the safety of American citizens, purposefully tanking the stock market by encouraging panic in order to defeat Trump in November.
Feel that cold anger inside?

The President has taken unprecedented steps to protect the health of Americans, bringing together government and private industry in a collaborative response.
From the outset of Donald Trump’s initial entry into the world of politics he espoused a series of key tenets around what he called his “America-First” objectives:
-
A shift toward stopping ‘illegal’ migration. The U.S. needed to have control over our borders, and a greater ability to control who was migrating to the United State
-
A return to economic independence. The U.S. needed to stop the manufacture of goods overseas and return critical manufacturing back to the United States.
-
China viewed as a geopolitical and economic risk. The U.S. needed to decouple from an over-reliance on Chinese industrial and consumer products.
Now, with the global pandemic known as Coronavirus, people are starting to awaken to the real dangers of our medicines, pharmaceuticals and critical health care products being made overseas. Right now we see the clear reasons why President Trump was so adamant about a conversation no-one wanted, and few were paying attention to.
Today, given the status of very consequential issues stemming from the Chinese Coronavirus threat; and the myriad of very serious issues with critical supply chain dependencies; wasn’t President Trump entirely correct in his warnings and proposals?
The criticism is not only unreal to witness, it’s maddening in the scale of its hypocrisy.
On January 30th while Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and Chuck Schumer were literally trying to impeach President Trump; on that very day President Trump was assembling a task force in advance of his authorization for HHS Secretary Alex Azar to declare a proactive national health emergency.
On the exact same day the Senate was debating whether to call more witnesses for the Senate impeachment trial, the newly assembled Coronavirus Task Force was holding a press conference - (link)
Guess which event the media covered?
So perhaps it’s not a surprise that most Americans did not know about the proactive steps that President Trump was taking. After all, the entirety of the media focus was on a ridiculous Senate impeachment trial while the White House Coronavirus mitigation effort was happening.
However, it sure is blood-boiling to watch the media now. To see the media cheer-leading for a national health crisis - literally with smiling faces as they hope for an economic collapse - for the exact same gleeful reason they cheered the impeachment effort. The level of U.S. media vitriol against President Trump is sickening.

Moscow (CNSNews.com) – Russia’s State Duma passed an amendment Tuesday to “reset” presidential term limits after the adoption of a new constitution later this year, paving the way for President Vladimir Putin to potentially stay in office until 2036. Click HERE
- Saudi Arabia Throws Down Gauntlet to Russia; Raises Crude Oil Supply to Record High. Click HERE
On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia ratcheted up its oil war with Russia, announcing it would raise its crude supply to a record high in April.
Market Plunges Over Oil, Not the Coronavirus
(Excerpt)
RUSH: The Drive-By Media wants you to think that this massive stock market plunge is because of the coronavirus. Some of it is, but the vast majority of this has nothing to do with the coronavirus, absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus. I am here to tell you what the massive market plunge is all about.
What is happening with the stock market today is 85% this - It is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia declaring open warfare on Russia involving the price of oil and the flow of oil, the free flow of oil at market prices is what this is all about. And the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, he's taking advantage of the fact that they've got more oil than they know what to do with.
There's no love lost between Saudi Arabia and Russia, and that's because of Middle Eastern geopolitics and warfare. By the way, Donald Trump is standing aside and letting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wreak all kinds of havoc on his buddies in Russia.
Now, Russia's economy is such that they don't produce oil for the same reasons we do. They are a totalitarian regime, and their interest in oil is selling it so that the government will have wealth, so that Putin and his buddies will have wealth, so that his oligarch buddies who are in commodities and chemicals and who need oil will have wealth. It's not for the Russian people.
Mohammed bin Salman is flooding the world oil markets with cheap Saudi crude, and his number one target is Russia, and shale oil -- which, to an extent, is the United States. I'm sure that his effort here is not intended to do great damage to us, and I'm sure he's been telling everybody in Washington, "Stick with me on this. Our common enemy is Russia."
He cannot do damage to us in this regard because we don't need their oil anymore, and that's thanks to who? That's thanks to American capitalism and fracking and people who stuck with that despite all of the environmentalist wackos trying to shut 'em down. Despite all of the left-wing Democrats trying to shut down pipelines and fracking, we are no longer dependent on Saudi Arabia
Anyway, this is very, very complicated global geopolitics.

Ask any person walking down the street if they have ever heard of White House Social Media Director Dan Scavino, and the answer will almost certainly be “No” – an answer that is likely to bring a smile to Scavino’s face.
Meet Dan Scavino
Scavino first met Trump when he was in high school working as a caddie at the Briar Hall Country Club in New York’s Hudson Valley in 1990. Scavino, 16 at the time, was handpicked to be Trump’s caddie, and to this day, Scavino has the very first gratuity tip that Trump gave him: two one-hundred dollar bills. Later that day, Trump told Scavino, “You are going to work for me one day.”
Scavino, who avoids the spotlight and avoids talking to the media, has been described by multiple senior White House officials as Trump’s most trusted adviser, not including Trump’s own family. The officials indicated that Scavino’s sense of justice, loyalty to the president, and selfless nature were all key factors in his becoming a member of Trump’s inner and most trusted circle.
Scavino is the co-mastermind behind Trump’s Twitter account, which Trump sees as his very “own printing press” that he can use to “knock the crap out of people.”
“Dan has been with us from the very beginning,” Donald Trump Jr. told The Daily Wire. “He’s just one of those friends you can always depend on."
Former senior White House adviser Sebastian Gorka told The Daily Wire that Scavino was the “master of social media messaging,” and is “one of the hardest working patriots I’ve ever known.”
“He’s been in the room for many of the most consequential moments of our lifetime, always supporting the president and his agenda 100% .. And he never looks to get credit or grab the spotlight. He’s there to serve the president and the country.”

Pocahontas Will Endorse .. For The Right Price
Democratic voters must select a male nominee to take on lose to President Donald J. Trump in the general election. Notwithstanding the Democratic Party's alleged commitment to diversity, voters have narrowed it down to a choice between two old white dudes.
Warren has a crucial decision to make. Her next move could determine whether the nomination goes to Biden, a 77-year-old train enthusiast with mild dementia, or Sanders, a 78-year-old socialist with heart problems.
Given the party establishment's ruthless opposition to Bernie, Warren could be jeopardizing her career prospects by refusing to line up behind Biden.
Warren's critics have described the senator as a "snake" who will say and do anything to advance her personal interests—for example, by falsely claiming to be of Native American heritage.
Will Warren adhere to her leftist principles by offering an immediate, full-throated endorsement of Sanders? Or will she succumb to the allure of her own ambition by endorsing Biden?
Time will tell.
