If(when) KSA signs on, it’ll change the whole ballgame. Time will tell, but the way they put this together was impressive as hell. The geopolitical vice they are putting Iran into will end the Mullahs hold on power sooner rather than later. 
 

And that’s great for the people of Iran, the region, and the world.

Agreed. This is an important incremental step, and it will become much more important if the Saudis sign on.

Not quite the Camp David Accords (1978), but at least a possible return to the more optimistic situation of the Paris/Oslo agreements of the mid-90s.

Credit where credit is due ...

Is there anyone who is more wrong and more of a blowhard loser than John Kerry?  He needs a pie in the face, laugh-in style.

Unreal.  Support for this is supporting pure evil.  Every politician with air in their lungs needs to denounce this stuff, now.  When you callously celebrate the potential loss of life of your fellow man - someone you didn’t even know, you are no longer on the side of good.

Now imagine if almost 200,000 Americans died for no good reason and our leader shrugged his fat shoulders and said simply that it is what it is.  And you support that loser.  Sad!

Hoax!  200,000 died because China.  Our leader is the only one pissed about it.  And his shoulders look kinda slim these days.  And not only do I support that winner, but you referred to him as “our leader” which means you’re now officially out of Billstime and Wacky Zebra’s super secret boy band. You sewed your own poison, deuce!

Fake news.  Our leader has blood on his hands.  And he doesn't care about the people who died.  He even held a maskless rally yesterday!  If you were one of the suckers and losers who sacrificed for this disease, he wouldn't care that you were dead.  As long as he wins re-election.  Losers like you are the ones who support him most ardently, but losers like you are also the ones whom he despises the most.

Media Pushes Unverified Gossip To Hide Trump’s Amazing Economic And Foreign Policy Achievements

by Andy Puzder

 

Original Article

 

The Democrat-media complex has a new mission: to distract our attention from President Trump’s incredible—and I mean incredible—progress on both economic and foreign policy.

 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced another historic month of job growth as the economy added 1.4 million jobs in August. It was the fourth-best month of job growth on record dating back to 1939 (and likely ever), beaten out only by the preceding three months. As a result, the country’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.4 percent from its post-pandemic high of 14.7 percent. Recall that in April the Congressional Budget Office forecast a 16 percent unemployment rate for the third quarter.

#JOURNALISM:

 

Remind me again, what was the premise of the short-lived hysteria over Bob Woodward’s book? That Donald Trump, in early February, knew that the virus could kill and was spread through the air?

 

This was universal knowledge. In the two weeks before Messrs. Trump and Woodward spoke, more than 550 published and broadcast news reports in the Factiva database likened the Chinese viral outbreak to the deadly 1918 flu pandemic. On Jan. 28, a week before they spoke and on the same day Mr. Trump received a White House security briefing on the virus, this column drew the 1918 analogy. It also highlighted an issue that would plague the world for months. Because of the inability of China and other countries to count mild or nonsymptomatic infections, we were operating on data that considerably overestimated the virus’s deadliness.

 

So if he can’t be accused of withholding knowledge from the American people, can he be accused of causing harm by not emphasizing these facts in February and early March, before the virus reached most of America? As he told Mr. Woodward, he played down the risk because he didn’t want to cause panic.

 

To believe its own Devil theory of this episode, the press has to forget everything it knows about the pandemic story, including basic chronology, as well as forget that 55% of America doesn’t trust what Donald Trump says anyway.

 

It has to remove the Woodward quotes from history and context, blast them into some empty corner of outer space, and invite its audience to invent a new narrative around them.

 

On Earth, every pandemic plan treats panic as a comorbidity. Both need to be managed. Mr. Trump, we’ll find, was sloppily following the advice of his staff: He could do as much harm as good with anything he said, so say little except to assure the public that the government is on top of things. . . .

 

As fate would have it, Feb. 13, a week after the widely cited Woodward-Trump conversation, saw a rally in Queens, a video of which is still available on New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Twitter feed. It involved most of the city’s leaders. They urged against panic, suggesting that racism was the only reason for not shopping in Chinatown.

 

Mayor de Blasio and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would continue in this vein till the third week of March. From the 17th to the 22nd, they engaged in a public spat over whether to introduce emergency measures.

 

Or take Angela Merkel, whose response has been widely lauded. Until March 11, she warned against overreaction. On that day, she switched tactics and told Germans that they might all be infected.

 

William Barr has one theory of press behavior. In a media interview last week, the attorney general suggested that the press was a “collection of liars.” I am tempted to reach for psychology—hysteria, groupthink—but we must not underestimate simple commercial incentive. An untold story of our time is the symbiosis of Mr. Trump and, especially, CNN and MSNBC. Editorial meetings took place, I guarantee it, in which the only discussion concerned how to play the Woodward tidbits for the highest shock value. This works fine for Mr. Trump too. He wants the universe revolving around him. He can run not on his record (good, bad or so-so) but against the media’s palpable, absurd lies.

 

 

 

They do give him a lot to work with.

...sorry there counselor, a "contempt of Court" post......conservatively, I'd bet 65% of the deaths were due to highly susceptible elderly (ask Big Fredo), preexisting condition candidates, auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, gun shot wounds et al......which brings us to a more realistic total of 70,000 deaths, right in line with annual flu deaths......
