How about you Rich, are you hunkered down?
Got your glock by your side? Extra mags? AR-15 up in a sniper's blind? Enough MRE's on hand? Well dug deep enough?

Guests are Sen. Tom Cotton and Ret. General Jack Keene. 

This should be an interesting show. Cotton was aware that something of significance occurred in China long before the virus became a problem in other areas.
Thank goodness; nothing like unbiased information...

WHO Corrupted by China Influence

Posted By Rod Kaufman

WHO may very well have been corrupted by China's influence. That makes it difficult to ascertain the exact nature of how the Coronavirus emerged and infected patient zero in Wuhan, China.
Multiple theories abound:
1 The wet market: "The first time you go into China as a Westerner, it is a bit of shock to go to a wildlife market and see this huge diversity of animals live in cages on top of each other with a pile of guts that have been pulled out of an animal and thrown on the floor," he said. "As you walk towards the stalls, you slip on the feces and blood. These are perfect places for viruses to spread. Not only that, people are working there ... kids are playing there. Families almost live there."
"Professor Andrew Cunningham of the Zoological Society of London says wet markets are a prime candidate for causing zoonotic spillover events from wildlife, which he said have become more common over the past 30 years."
2 The visitor theory: Some farmer somewhere in China had a chance-meeting with an infected bat or its feces and then brought it to Wuhan.
"I think people went into the fish market who were already infected," Vincent Racaniello, a microbiology professor at Columbia University, told CNN.
"We do know that in China you can eat bats -- that's another scenario," he said. "But I don't think it's any more likely than a farmer harvesting guano or a farmer encountering a bat in his barn."
3 The leaking Lab theory:Another potentially explosive theory -- first posed by two Chinese researchers in early February and amplified by Fox News host Tucker Carlson on March 31 -- holds that the origin traces back to an accident in one of two labs near the Wuhan market that work with bats.
Most of the experts interviewed for this story discounted the theory -- whose progenitors reportedly withdrew their paper -- saying it wasn't supported by evidence.
The theory has also been strenuously denied by the Chinese government and one of the labs. BUT:But one expert, a chemical biology professor and bioweapons expert at Rutgers University, has suggested to several media outlets that the lab-accident theory has credence.
"The possibility that the virus entered humans through a laboratory accident cannot and should not be dismissed," Dr. Richard Ebright told CNN in an email Sunday.

4 The BATSHIT Theory: Racaniello offers yet another theory: The source of the outbreak is a farmer.
"In bats, these viruses are intestinal viruses, and they are shedding the bat feces, which we call guano," he said. "And if you go into a bat cave, it is littered with guano. And farmers in many countries harvest the guano to fertilize their fields." Racaniello speculates that, after getting infected, a farmer or an associate came into Wuhan and started infecting other people.
5 The LAB tech screw-up: While Ebright said he did not believe the genome sequence of the virus shows any "signatures of human manipulation," he said there is a risk
 that a lab worker could have accidentally been infected.
6 It's not our fault theory: "As a matter of fact, the source of Covid-19 is a scientific issue," Luo Zhaohui, a vice minister of foreign affairs, said in late March. "We need to listen to professional and scientific opinions. The WHO has stressed many times that linking viruses to specific races, skin colors or geographical areas should be avoided. This is also the international consensus."

Trump: "Inspector General Report Just Wrong"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Anderson Cooper calls today's coronavirus briefing a “hijacking of the task force press conference by a President determined to rewrite the history of his early and reprehensibly irresponsible response.”

“This is not normal and it matters because this is life or death,” he adds

Trump: "Inspector General Report Just Wrong"

Biden called Trump afterwards and just dumped all over him. Trump was swimming in the swamp he created for himself. Trump's done, period.

Trump: "Inspector General Report Just Wrong"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump on Monday claimed that an inspector general report finding "severe" shortages of supplies at hospitals to fight the novel coronavirus is "just wrong."
Trump did not provide evidence for why the conclusions of the 34-page report are wrong.
How do you tell if someone is a Trumptoid? They believe that...
