Blaming Joe Biden for the coronavirus spread is like blaming the surgeon for not saving the victim of a gunshot wound to the head. American conservatives, and a willing press, have conveniently forgotten the former president told the country the virus would simply disappear. He said lights, bacterial spray, and...
During interviews earlier this month with the House select subcommittee on the pandemic, Dr. Deborah Birx conceded that the Trump administration was “distracted” from its work on COVID-19 because of the election, and that the administration’s early failures likely led to as many as 130,000 unnecessary deaths. The best thing...
It is exceedingly disturbing that media outlets are playing the game of ‘Where’s QAnon,’ searching to unravel the GOP’s puzzle of voter restrictions. The use of voter suppression and the excusing of insurrectionists by Republican lawmakers have made the GOP a group of Q-watchers. Despite the circumlocutive excuses made by...

CNN is airing a special where all of these doctors in the Trump administration are finally speaking out about the abuse and chaos that reigned when the pandemic first hit America one year ago. These people include Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Brett Giroir, Dr. Stephen Hahn, Dr. Robert Kadlec, and...
To adequately convey to future generations how much the past four years were like staring at an M.C. Escher drawing while attempting to set the world record for most psychedelic toads shoved into a single human mouth at one time, I’m thinking about putting together a time capsule. It will...

There aren’t a lot of Governor races for me to cover this year. Governors Roy Cooper (D. NC) and Jay Inslee (D. WA) are looking good heading into re-election and Montana’s Governor race is the only real toss-up. But if there’s one race that could possibly break late, it’s the...
I’d assumed that Dr. Deborah Birx, a leading member of the White House coronavirus task force, had been co-opted by the otherworldly orange ooze, but if I’m reading the tea leaves (or, since we’re talking about the Trump administration, the Big Mac wrappers) correctly, it looks like she could be the...
The Kansas Reflector wrote an op-ed to the Kansas Board of Healing Arts asking them to suspend U.S. Senate candidate and U.S. Representative, Dr. Roger Marshall’s (R. KS) medical license for constantly campaigning without a mask: As many in your profession have said repeatedly, masks are one of the simplest...

Presser started at 536pm ET. It ended at 613pm. Trump needed another faux-campaign speech opportunity today — he should be trying to clarify his criticism of Birx — perhaps there’ll be some faux-Kumbaya. The new tone will keep the press questions to a minimum. Perhaps Trump will double-down even further on the...
Trump is running out of distractions, as he recycles hydroxycholoroquine “cures” again and criticizes Birx. Backpedaling on TikTok has also some implications for US companies as Trump still wants some retribution for the Tulsa million-ticket stunt. These are meant to draw attention from the Manhattan DA Cy Vance moving forward...
If you are not up on the latest with Trump’s war on science, Dr. Deborah Birx has defecated all over herself with regards to the orange baboon’s affections. Trump didn’t appreciate what Dr. Birx was saying this weekend (someone must have shown the orange babboon some of Birx’s TV time...
How do you know the COVID-19 pandemic is out of control? All of the major task force is pretty much ignoring the president’s lies and telling it like it is.

Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced...

Two names, Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci and President Donald John Trump. Dr. Fauci has served as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. That spans six presidents, starting in the second term of Ronald Reagan to the current commander-in-chief Donald Trump. Anthony Fauci has...
Rick Wilson is correct that “Everything Trump touches dies,” but Trump has little helpers — call them Trump Mini-Mees — who assist him in dealing out death to Americans with COVID-19. And those Trump Mini-Mees are commonly referred to as “Republican Governors.” They really are a rouges gallery, and it is truly...
Right now there are two stories, one above the other, on the interview FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn gave CNN this morning: When the President's own medical advisers refuse to correct his misleading claim, the coronavirus trust gap grows and FDA commissioner refuses to defend Trump claim that 99% of...
The 74-year-old current President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been telling us for days and affirmed by his Vice President, and COVID-19 task force leader Mike Pence, that testing is “generating” more coronavirus cases. I used a thesaurus to find words that can be substituted for generating. The...
Live Stream at HHS x 12:30pm ET today (6/26/2020), there’ll be a Covid-19 Taskforce briefing, the 1st in ~2 months. Hope for more truth/facts from Dr. Fauci, but suspect Pence’ll ‘happytalk’ it instead. I trust Dr. Fauci, less so Dr. Birx & CDC’s Dr. Redfield (think CDC’s been muzzled by...

A lot was made of our commander-in-show holding up a Bible, a little over a week ago, with the St. John’s Episcopal Church as a backdrop. The orchestrated show of strength was preceded by shoving, tear-gassing, and strong-arm tactics of armed troops against peaceful protesters. Trump had been sheltered in...
What do you have to lose, except your money and your life. 18,000 lies can’t be wrong. Trump inherited Obama's recovered economy and when Trump faced a serious challenge, chose to destroy it. Now he wants to promise something other than more of the same chaos and incompetence. Co-dependent Nation, because...
Darn those 9th and 10th Amendments, Trump declared that he will override governors to allow places of worship to reopen this weekend. Because they are essential businesses. “We need more prayer, not less”. x Trump demands that states allow places of worship to reopen this weekend. “If they don't do...

All that remains from Trump is virtue signaling: ignore deaths, go back to work, you’ll be a warrior, and we’ll give you a flyover. I made this case at some length the other day. The imperative of creating the illusion of success is undermining the possibility of actual success. It...
Trump will present another WH stunt-presser today at 4pm EDT that won’t start on time. It’s meant to divert attention from the now burgeoning COVID-19 contagion within the WH, and assure people that IMPOTUS* is “in charge”. President Trump and members of his administration will hold a press briefing to discuss...
Trump hasn’t yet reached his personal Vietnam death toll numbers, because bone spurs. The GOP will parse his numbers because somehow Democrats are to blame, what with all the stress of impeachment and all those conspiracy theories.

Live Blog below. Summary: any attempt to “change” the pattern for these events was lost today. It had no different structure than other COVID taskforce briefings. It was the same as before.

It was clear that Andrea Mitchell could take it no more as she lashed out at President Trump’s doctor Deborah Birx. She is concerned that Dr. Birx is not forceful enough in refuting the president’s senseless, dangerous, and misleading statements. Andrea Mitchell pulls no punches against President’s doctor Dr. Birx...
Politico has what I think is a good article on the overly optimistic coronavirus pandemic model proposed by the IHME and the Trump Administrations latching onto this model. While not part of this article, Trump was once again asked by a reporter if he felt responsible for the 50,000 coronavirus...

Aside from sinophobia rather than russophobia, The NY Times has documented more of the details for the 70-days of denial/delay/dysfunction in the Trump White House.
