This guy had a police report made up on Fredo, cops were scared to make it out. Apparently,  cops are afraid of pissing off Sugar Nipples!

Clearly he's talking about the audience, and those who call into his radio show.

 

CNN, and he, are paragons of impartiality, honesty, civility, and humility.

 

 

 

My favorite part of this video, was Cuomo and CNN claiming "Fredo" was an ethnic slur - and Cuomo going so far as to say, for Italians, it is the same as the "N" word. 

 

Being of Italian heritage myself, I can think of a lot of ethnic slurs I have heard in my life for Italians - "Fredo" isn't one of them...

 

It's not defamation of character - It's definition of character: He is the loser little brother.

The point that's being missed here is that Fredo, who is infected with Covid-19 had Easter dinner with his family and then went on an outing with other people. This after faking that he was quarantined to his basement and had to do his show from there. So, it would appear that he is not only deliberately violating the virus protocol but endangering at the very least his family. What a low-life.

China's wet markets are not what some people think they are

Ben Westcott and Serenitie Wang, CNN

 

 

Updated 1:27 AM ET, Wed April 15, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hong Kong (CNN)If you have ever been to a shopping area where butchers and grocers sell fresh produce straight from the farm, then you have been to something that would, in some parts of the world, be called a wet market.

That might be surprising -- because recently the term wet market has become almost synonymous with Covid-19 for some people in the West.

The novel coronavirus, which has infected close to 2 million people globally, is believed to have originated in a wet market in the city of Wuhan, where wild animals such as porcupines and deer were being sold and slaughtered for food and medicine.

Speaking on April 3, the US' top infectious disease specialist, Anthony Fauci, told Fox News that all wet markets should be "shut down right away," saying he couldn't understand why they were still open.

BREAKING NEWS: Jim Acosta, CNN's world renown attack dog has been given the prestigious Baghdad Bob Truth in Journalism Award by the Chinese Committee For Truth and Fairness. In a rare moment President Xi spoke glowingly of Acosta, stating that he represents the true tradition of Yellow Journalism.

Remember, Twitter banned Zerohedge off their platform for pushing the lab story several weeks ago. 

 

I have plenty of problems with Zerohedge, but they were punished (and still are) for challenging the narrative -- despite being correct in the end.

So if everyone remembers it wasn’t too long ago where the media was wondering why the Trump administration didn’t unilaterally shut down the country.   Then when Trump was musing about the possibility of opening it up and him having authority to do so he was lambasted.    Now that he has backed off of it and set the guidelines and is leaving it up to the states I decided to check out the coverage from the mainstream and they are all basically parroting the same thing.   “Trump is punting the decision to the states” or Trump is telling the states “You are on your own”.

 

They don’t even hide their bias any longer.

I’ve never understood why this particular issue is hard for so many to grasp. No level of government can force a business to OPEN. That’s not the key here. The issue is whether the federal government can override a governor’s directive to release local restrictions. The answer is ‘yes’ the federal government can, and Trump’s saying they will if they see the virus getting out of hand in a particular region. Pretty simple really and should not be controversial.

[BillStime]

Meanwhile, Republicans and Fox News have offered up school children and the elderly, thrown out every possible whataboutism to diminish the Americans we have lost.

 

This does not erase that in ONE MONTH we have already lost 35,000 Americans, more than in 3 years of fighting the Korean War!

 

4,591 people died yesterday alone.

 

Republicans are repugnant.

There is no bottom:

“He acknowledged that the novel coronavirus is killing Americans — more than 33,000 as of early Friday — but also wondered why the economy would shut down over the pandemic but continues to function as people die from lung cancer, car crashes and pool drownings. (Unlike coronavirus, none of the causes of death listed by Dr. Phil are contagious.)”

 

After Fauci urged caution in reopening the economy, Fox News turned to Dr. Phil for a second opinion

My understanding is that since the governors shut down the states, only they can open them back up.  What part of the Constitution allows the Federal Government to over ride the State Governments?  This goes against the concept of Federalism and the 10th Amendment.

It does -- unless there's a declared emergency in every state, which there is. Fine print is a B word if you're a good consumer of information (which you continue to prove your'e not). But it's a moot point anyway. Trump's talking big (Art of the Deal), but words aren't action. It's designed to get people in line with his position. 

 

You have to separate the words from the actions of all politicians, but doubly so with Trump due to both the biased/terrible coverage of his administration and his own (at times) self-defeating stream-of-consciousness style of speaking to the American public.

I'm curious as to where the fine print is.  I have yet to see a reputable news organization agree with his position.

I've posted this numerous times:

National Emergencies Act. Stafford Act. Presidential Emergency Actions Documents.   Look them up... well, as far as you can. Apparently, some powers are classified. (Isn't that scary?)

What the president has the ability to do, and what he eventually does may well be two different things. But, there is no question that these acts give him the final say when a disaster is national.

And for the follow-up questions sure to come, I wrote this too:

When the 50th state went to a declared national disaster (Wyoming on Saturday), things changed. That Uncle Sam Sugar-money comes with strings. Sometimes long strings.

Trump seems to like making a declarative line in the sand, makes conciliatory noises to bring people in so they are (or at least feel they are) part of the decisions,  and then he negotiates from there.  Push-pull.

Do I think he is going to do any of these things?  No idea. I sincerely hope not. Does he have the legal authority to do them? Apparently so.

You mean the same news organizations that got every bit of the Trump/Russia story wrong (most knowingly so) in order to lie to you? Gee. I wonder why that is? 

 

Read the declaration(s) of the state of emergency. 

 

Don't get your news from proven liars. Go to the source. Read and educate yourself first before taking in information from proven liars and manipulators. It's the only way to get through this massive disinformation war we're all engaged in (whether we know it or not, or accept it or not).
