William Barr, a ray of light during dark coronavirus days

Attorney General William Barr has been magnificent in recent days. At a time of great constitutional distress, the attorney general is proving to be a calm, cool comfort who doesn't just preach a good message, but follows through and actually, well -- acts.

Bill Gates — oh, boohoo — rails at Trump for pulling WHO funding

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder who recently cut all ties to his company so that he could focus in part on curing the world of disease -- such as through vaccines he funds -- just called out President Donald Trump's decision to pull U.S. funding from the World Health Organization as abysmal, "dangerous" and deadly. Oh, boohoo.

Anthony Fauci has a mad scientist vision to track, surveil American citizens

Anthony Fauci, on coronavirus, wants to implement a "contact tracing" program in America that will in effect set the stage for government to surveil its citizens. Only he describes it in such a kindly caring gentlemanly manner that it's not supposed to be noticed as nefarious and unAmerican and unconstitutional.

Cars travel along Interstate 97 in Glen Burnie, Md., Monday, April 6, 2020. America’s roads are a lot less congested, due to coronavirus shutdowns that have kept millions of commuters, shoppers and vacationers parked at their homes. While that makes it easier to patch potholes, it also could spell trouble for road and bridge projects, as revenue from tolls, fuel taxes and other user fees declines. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

Coronavirus case and death counts in U.S. ridiculously low

Do the math. That means 0.17 percent of America's population has been infected by the coronavirus. That means 0.007 percent of America's population has died from the coronavirus -- we think. For this, we tank an entire economy?

Walmart CEO pleads for people to stop stockpiling toilet paper

Walmart's CEO, Doug McMillon, said on a recent NBC "Today Show" televised segment that his company sold enough toilet paper in five days for every man, woman and child to have a roll. The Depression had its run on banks. Guess the modern day equivalent, coronavirus style, is a run on toilet paper.

World Health Organization, on North Korea, embarrasses itself

North Korea reported earlier this week that despite testing, and amid quarantining, not one confirmed case of the coronavirus has been found. Not one. This, despite the fact that North Korea's border countries, South Korea and China, have been hit hard by the virus. And the World Health Organization goes -- yep, that's right.

America, on coronavirus crisis: Fight now or forever hold the peace

Wake the freak up, America. Wake up and smell the crisis that's being used and not wasted. It's time to punch back on the prognosticators by insisting pols, pundits, the press and members of the medical community provide information that's truthful, in context, and -- how about this -- common sense.

Anthony Fauci sets stage for mandatory — lucrative! — vaccine

"Vaccines are miracles," said Pedro Alonso, the director for the Institute for Global Health of Barcelona, and another stakeholder in the "Decade of Vaccines" program. Yes. And for certain folk, certain insider folk, vaccines are also great economic and political investments.

Coronavirus and the killing of critical thinking

Here's a question to conservatives who believe, without question, all the ghastly predictions of doom and gloom being poured from the mouths of medical experts and globalists and the like: If this were the Barack Obama administration, would your coronavirus views remain the same?

Coronavirus is not Pearl Harbor and saying so is idiotic

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said at a recent briefing that on the coronavirus outbreak, America was poised to hit "our Pearl Harbor moment." No, we are not. And saying so is irresponsibly inflammatory -- not to mention horribly disrespectful to the real victims and the loved ones of the victims of Pearl Harbor.

America the humbled, America the crumbled

Just a few weeks ago, America's economy was chugging along, high school seniors were prepping for graduation, fitness clubs were rolling out their spring specials and Americans were starting to discuss their summer travel plans. Now? Now it's a different world. America, post-coronavirus, will never be the same.

Candace Owens casts eyes on political run

Candace Owens, conservative commentator, said in an exclusive interview with Glenn Beck of The Blaze that she's set her sights on a run for political office. Get yer tickets fer the big fight now, boyz.

Donald Trump’s kryptonite: Coronavirus

President Donald Trump is a germaphobe. Everybody knows it; it's a well-reported claim the president himself has confirmed. This puts him in a vulnerable leadership spot on coronavirus outbreak. How could it not?

Anthony Fauci goes nuts

Anthony Fauci, the medical professional at the eye of the coronavirus storm, has just come out and said the federal government should issue a national order for all Americans to stay home, stay inside, stay put. Is he nuts? Let's rephrase: He's nuts.

Bill Gates and his coronavirus conflicts of interest

Billionaire Bill Gates just called for a complete and utter shutdown and quarantining of the entire nation, saying the spottiness of some states doing it and some states not has put all in coronavirus jeopardy. This -- from the guy who's poised to make some cool millions on coronavirus-related market matters.

Beat China Act a sure prescription for America’s health

Rep. Chip Roy said on "Fox & Friends" that America needs to take back its prescription drug business from China but quick. And honestly, if this coronavirus has any positives to offer at all, it's this: the shedding of light on the tragedy called Farming Out America's Medicine Manufacturing To China.

Serbia’s coronavirus crackdown and a warning for America

In Belgrade, Serbia, soldiers are out and about, patrolling with machine guns, seeking to stop anyone on the street who has dared violate a presidential declaration of emergency and nationwide lockdown -- all due to the coronavirus outbreak. This is drastic times 10. And in America, a pastor was just arrested for holding church service.
