| Vitamin D and the coronavirus pandemic: Should you take it? Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:00 PM PDT The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has some looking for ways to keep their immune systems in tip-top shape, and there's evidence that the supplement vitamin D can help with exactly that. But should you take it? And what about its effect on COVID-19? "It's important to keep in mind that there are no clinical studies that show the effectiveness of vitamin D or any other supplements or vitamins to treat coronavirus," Dr. John Whyte, the chief medical officer of the health care website WebMD, told Fox News.

| Rep. Harris Issues Statement on Paycheck Protection Program Improvements for Seasonal Businesses Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:30 PM PDT WASHINGTON, DC: The Small Business Administration has announced that small seasonal businesses applying for Paycheck Protection Program loans can be evaluated on their business activities from February through June of 2019, rather than their operational capacity in February of this year. This is critical for seasonal businesses, who often are not fully operational in late winter. Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) issued the following statement: "I am pleased to announce that the Administration has agreed to consider the seasonal operation of many small businesses when determining eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program. Many small businesses are seasonal, and their activity increases from April to June. Considering activity from that period is a more accurate reflection of their operations, instead of during the winter months immediately preceding the COVID pandemic. I understand the seasonal business cycle on the Eastern Shore, and raised this issue with the Administration. This new guidance should help our local employers pay employees and cover expenses until businesses are allowed to reopen, hopefully on a regional basis."  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:00 PM PDT The chief nursing officer at Mount Sinai Brooklyn has revealed how she went from treating COVID-19 patients to becoming one of them herself - spending seven days in hospital after developing bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs. Claudia Garcenot spoke about her harrowing ordeal with New York magazine Friday, stating: 'Before my hospitalization, I thought to myself: 'This has to be the worst thing in the world'. But what I thought it was, was nothing compared to the reality of it'. Garcenot, who is aged in her 60s, tested positive for the coronavirus late last month after feeling a tightness in her chest. She told New York magazine that she spent a week isolated at home, before she eventually decided to head to the emergency department at Mount Sinai Brooklyn. A chest X-ray revealed that Garcenot had developed bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs - but she was still not admitted to the facility.

| Slapped Down: California's Background Check Law on Ammo Sales Blocked by Federal Judge Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:30 PM PDT Gun owners in California rejoice. At least part of your state's anti-gun agenda has been blocked by a federal judge. The new law on background checks for ammunition sales has been put on hole, with Judge Roger Benitez ruling that the law was "onerous and convoluted." This was a law years in the making, passed by a 2016 ballot initiative. It was supposed to go into effect July of this year. Stephen Gutowski of the Washington Free Beacon has more: "The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted," Benitez wrote. "California's new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured." The ruling dealt a blow to one of the strictest gun-control measures in the country and could provide new clarity on the extent to which voters and state governments can curtail gun rights. The case was filed by NRA affiliate the California Rifle and Pistol Association and three-time Olympic gold medalist Kim Rhode. They claimed the state's ban on carrying ammunition across state lines, coupled with the requirement that all sales be subject to a background check—unlike most other states which only require checks for gun sales—made it far more difficult to legally purchase ammunition in the state. The system had a 16.4 percent false-positive rate with an appeals process that forced residents to wait months to correct those problems. The National Rifle Association, which helped fund the suit, celebrated the ruling.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Millions Of Now-Unemployed Americans Are Making More Money Than They Did When Working Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:00 PM PDT More than 26 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits in recent weeks, and a lot of them will now be bringing home much more money than they did while they were actually working. Needless to say, this is going to create a perverse incentive for people to stay unemployed for as long as possible. Just think about this for a moment. If you could earn more money sitting on your sofa gobbling down chips and watching Netflix, what possible motivation would you have to go back to work? Many low paid workers are going to want to ride this gravy train all the way to the end, and as you will see below, this is already causing big problems for businesses all across America. So how did we get to this point? Well, the Democrats pushed extremely hard to get a provision into the CARES Act that would give unemployed workers an additional $600 a week on top of any normal unemployment benefits. The following comes from USA Today… The CARES Act includes a $600-a-week bonus until July 31 for those registered as unemployed. The $600 is issued in addition to the standard unemployment benefit, which varies by state and by individuals' record of previous earnings. This means that for the next several months, unemployed workers all over America will be bringing home at least the equivalent of $15 an hour based on a 40 hour work week, and some Republican members of Congress were very concerned about this… Some Republican lawmakers warned about this unintended consequence of the relief bill when it was being drafted, noting that $600 a week amounts to $15 an hour, more than twice the federal minimum wage. That's in addition to state unemployment benefits, which vary widely, from a maximum of $235 per week in Mississippi to $795 per week in Massachusetts. Despite those concerns, the CARES Act easily sailed through both chambers of Congress, and now we are stuck with it.

| Why can’t people people get unemployment benefits - the answer Posted: 25 Apr 2020 03:00 PM PDT 'I am in tears over this': Marylanders struggle to claim unemployment benefits. The state says help is on the way. The Facebook group is part therapy, part primal scream, illustrated by screenshots showing hundreds of calls to the Maryland Unemployment Insurance office and emoji — often, the ones for "loudly crying" or "on fire." "I am in tears over this. I am about to give up," one poster despaired. "I been trying to get my money for three weeks," wrote another. "What is going on with this system?" With hundreds of thousands of Marylanders out of work because the coronavirus has shut down or slowed businesses, navigating the system to get unemployment benefits has become a full-time if unpaid job.

| Ex-Intel Officer: Brennan Ignored Evidence that Russia Favored Hillary Clinton Posted: 25 Apr 2020 01:30 PM PDT John Brennan, while serving as CIA director under former President Barack Obama, dismissed intelligence that Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win the U.S. presidential election in 2016, an ex-intelligence officer argued in an op-ed published on Wednesday. Ignoring objections from CIA analysts, John Brennan, the CIA director turned NBC and MSNBC contributor, "suppressed" intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Clinton, Fred Fleitz, who served as the White House National Security Council chief of staff in 2018, wrote in the editorial carried by Fox News. Nevertheless, a bipartisan report issued by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday backs the U.S. intelligence community's assertion that Russia meddled in the 2016 election to help then-candidate Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton. American intelligence officials reached that conclusion during the Obama administration. The Senate report ignored revelations recently declassified by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) that a Russian disinformation campaign attempted to tarnish Trump, the same man that intelligence officials and the Senate panel claim to be favored by Putin.

| Only 15% of Eighth Graders Know Much About U.S. History Posted: 25 Apr 2020 01:00 PM PDT Only 15 percent of eighth graders in the United States scored at or above proficiency level in U.S. history on the 2018 assessments known as the Nation's Report Card, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) revealed Thursday. Eighth graders in the United States once again showed a decline in U.S. history and geography test scores, and made no progress in civics, according to the assessment results. Scores in U.S. history and geography plunged between 2014 and 2018. Approximately 43,000 eighth graders took the assessment in early 2018. Peggy G. Carr, associate commissioner of assessment at the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also said in a statement, "These assessments challenge students to show their knowledge and skills as they prepare to become full participants in American democracy." U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos called the results on the Nation's Report Card "inexcusable." "And only 15% of them have a reasonable knowledge of U.S. history," she added. "All Americans should take a moment to think about the concerning implications for the future of our country."

| Publicly-traded companies have 2 weeks to give back loans intended for small businesses Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:30 PM PDT The Treasury Department is asking publicly traded companies who received loans from a fund intended to help small business recover from the pandemic to return the money by May 7 or face consequences, according to new guidance issued on Thursday. The department said it was "unlikely that a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets" could prove that a federal loan was necessary for it to stay afloat. The request from the Treasury Department came after large companies who took loans from the program were criticized heavily as the fund ran out of money — and many small businesses, which the money was intended to help, were unable to get a loan. Large companies were able to access the funds through a loophole in the restrictions that was meant to save the loans for small-business use only.

| Conservative Watchdog Claims Anti-Trump Group Violated Tax Laws Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:00 PM PDT A high-profile progressive organization, known for its fiery ads against President Donald Trump, may have violated its tax-exempt status by blurring the line between nonprofit and political activities, according to a complaint filed Thursday with the Internal Revenue Service by a conservative watchdog group. The Patriots Foundation, a Republican-leaning ethics organization based in Iowa, says American Bridge 21st Century Foundation, a nonprofit, is primarily a political organization, in violation of tax laws. The group also raises questions about a $2.7 million investment in a for-profit company co-owned by its founder, David Brock, a Democrat operative and former Clinton associate. American Bridge has a super-PAC arm that can spend unlimited sums to influence elections. But the primary purpose of nonprofits organized under section 501(c)4 of the tax code like American Bridge cannot be politics. The complaint quotes material given to potential donors to the nonprofit arm in 2017 saying the organization's mission is "to take on Donald Trump." Groups like American Bridge do not have to disclose their donors, which is why they are sometimes called "dark money." The complaint also alleges that American Bridge has made improper payments that benefited Brock.

"You have already within you the things that you need to help your children continue to make progress at home," she explained. In addition to addressing the concept of at-home learning and parenting for academic success, the Hillsdale video series covers the topics of phonograms, Latin, Singapore Math, science, classical literature, composition, history, grammar, physical education, and more.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The documents were filed by the Justice Department on Friday and allegedly include "exonerating evidence" for Flynn, an FBI official familiar with the situation told The Federalist's Sean Davis. The documents also allegedly show "evidence of malfeasance by the FBI" during its investigation of Flynn and will "reflect poorly" on the FBI.

The study was conducted by Zach Conrad of the Department of Health Sciences at William & Mary University, who found the average American consumes only 59 percent of the food they pay for on any given day, with the rest going to waste. This waste amounts to around one pound per person each day, with an estimated daily cost of $3.62, more than three times the $1.07 figure a 2008 study of American food waste reached.

| Cuomo’s Decision to Hire McKinsey Raises Concerns over Firm’s Chinese Communist Ties Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:45 AM PDT McKinsey & Company, a corporate consulting service with a long history of working closely with the communist regime in China, is advising the New York state government response to the coronavirus crisis, per public reports and confirmation from the governor's office. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has regularly name-checked the corporate consulting company at his press conferences detailing his state's handling of the pandemic. New York, including Cuomo himself, is actually using McKinsey data to compile modeling on the spread—infection rate—as well as the mortality rate of the virus in the state. Slides from Cuomo's press conferences discussing the threat of coronavirus in New York actually cite McKinsey as the source of the modeling data the state government is using. At this stage, it is unclear exactly what McKinsey is doing for New York state. Cuomo's office has not returned multiple requests for comment.

| True the Vote Sues Nevada to Protect Voters’ Rights Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:30 AM PDT Asks court to stop Nevada secretary of state from imposing universal mail-in voting by administrative fiat True the Vote has filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of three registered Nevada voters asking for declaratory and injunctive relief to halt the secretary of state's imposition of an "all-mail election" (Stanley William Paher, et al. v. Barbara Cegavske, in her capacity as Nevada Secretary of State and Deanna Spikula, in her official capacity as Registrar of Voters for Washoe County (No. 3:20-cv-00243)). The lawsuit argues the secretary of state's mail-in-balloting plan violates both the Nevada and United States Constitutions and that imposing an "all-mail election" would lead to widespread election fraud. On March 24, 2020, supposedly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske bent to demands by Democrats and state administrators and announced a plan essentially to abolish in-person voting and conduct, instead, an "all-mail election" for the June 9, 2020 primary election. According to the plan, all active registered voters in Nevada automatically will be mailed a primary-election ballot for mail-in voting. Voters are not required to take any action or steps, such as submitting a mail-in-ballot request application, in order to receive a ballot in the mail.

| USDA terminates Chinese-owned Smithfield farm aid contract Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:30 AM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture terminated a $240,000 purchase contract with Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods that had been awarded under the Trump administration's agricultural trade bailout program, a move taken at the company's request, a department spokesman told Reuters on Friday. The move comes weeks after Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, one of the country's biggest farm states and the biggest hog-producing state, slammed Smithfield for receiving what he said was aid from the USDA that was meant to help American farmers hurt by China's trade tariffs. "Smithfield requested to terminate their contract awarded under the Food Purchase and Distribution Program. USDA has agreed to the termination," Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the USDA, told Reuters. Murtaugh said the transfer of funds for the food purchase contract had not yet taken place, and that Smithfield's request to cancel the contract was received on Nov. 13.

| Potential Wuhan Coronavirus Treatment Uses UV Light to Disinfect Lungs Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:45 AM PDT Maybe Trump missed his calling as a medical researcher. The president was roundlycriticized for pondering whether or not UV light or other disinfectants that have proved effective at killing the Wuhan coronavirus on surfaces could somehow be administered inside the body to treat patients suffering from the disease. During Thursday's coronavirus task force briefing, President Trump asked White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx whether sunlight has been explored as a possible treatment for those suffering from disease, specifically the coronavirus. "Not as a treatment," Dr. Birx answered the president. "I mean, certainly fever is a good thing when you have a fever. It helps your body respond. But not as, I have not seen heat or ..." The president cut her answer short. "I think that's a great thing to look at," the president interjected.

| Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:30 AM PDT A number of years ago, we first introduced the topic of a 'welfare cliff' at which more work was punished - i.e. the 'generosity' of the package of welfare benefits creates a perverse incentive not to work any harder... As we wrote at the time, one of the tragedies of America today is that so many adults of sound mind and body do not support themselves and their families. It's a tragedy not because they suffer material want; indeed, relatively few suffer so, because government assistance satisfies many of their material needs. It's tragic because one of the keys to human happiness is earned self-respect, which requires, as Charles Murray has written, making one's own way in the world. The vast majority of poor people don't want welfare; they don't want handouts; they want a good job with which they can support themselves and their families comfortably. The tragedy of the American welfare system is that it traps so many people in dependency on government, by hindering them from getting on and climbing up the job ladder, and thereby earning self-respect and happiness. Our fear now, confirmed by excellent research from Kathy Morris & Chris Kolmar at Zippia.com, is that the 'generosity' of the CARES Act (and the fact that politicians are loathed to remove any policy that could possibly make their voters upset) has the potential to create an entire new generation of welfare serfs, subsisting on significant welfare benefits with no incentive to 'get back to work', even after the lockdowns are lifted. DoubleLine's CEO Jeff Gundlach appears to agree...

| Miami University will close its Confucius Institute Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:15 AM PDT OXFORD, Ohio-- The Confucius Institute, a Beijing-based nonprofit organization aimed at promoting the study of Chinese language and culture, opened a center at Miami University in 2007. The university will close the institute June 30. The Confucius Institute at Miami University (CIMU), which is funded jointly by Hanban, Liaoning Normal University in Dalian, China, and Miami, has focused on language courses, martial arts courses that lead to certification, non-credit cultural and language programs and courses, and showcasing students' knowledge and skills in cross-cultural programming. Miami's Global Initiatives programs will re-focus efforts on a more comprehensive strategy for international student support that is more inclusive and provides a more diverse range of programming to share languages and cultures with the campus and community and to enhance the student experience. While other universities have reported a perceived lack of academic freedom with their Confucius institutes, that has not been the case with the CIMU. Miami's Global Initiatives program believes it can more effectively provide cultural, intercultural and global learning programming and support through an international student center. This will be administered through the office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) in the space where the CIMU now resides. With a new center, current efforts will be formalized in a centralized location for advising, co-curricular programming and more opportunities for domestic students to connect with international students, faculty and staff.

| WTH?… Joe Biden Calls Coronavirus a Wake-Up Call on Climate Change and Climate Justice Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:00 AM PDT There is ABSOLUTELY NO connection to the Wuhan Coronavirus and global warming but that won't stop the left from pushing socialist climate plans in the face of the tragedy. Commie Pope Francis and UN Secretary General Anotonio Guterres also called for a "green recovery" in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. ut why? Does anyone think there is any link between a cave bat virus and global warming? These globalists never take a day off. President Trump is working around the clock to combat the coronavirus, focusing on expanding testing capacity, mobilizing the private sector to meet challenges, protecting workers' paychecks and safely reopening jobs across America. Joe Biden, on the other hand, isn't taking this seriously at all. He says he believes all of this is a "wake up call" … for climate change and climate justice. Huh? JOE BIDEN: "COVID is shining a bright light on the structural racism that plagues our laws, our institutions and our culture," Biden said last night in a virtual fundraiser. "And it's a wake up call, a wake up call to action to climate change overall and to climate justice." This is the kind of nonsense you hear in the halls of Berkeley, not the grocery stores of Scranton. Only a Washington politician would view a deadly global pandemic and millions of Americans artificially out of work as a "wake up call" for climate change justice. The last thing American families need right now is Joe Biden looking to use their suffering to make the dreams of SJWs come true.

| Cuomo, de Blasio, and New York City Owe Trump an Apology Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:30 AM PDT Many Americans have witnessed daily briefings in which New York State's governor, Andrew Cuomo, makes repeated demands of the President and exploits his moment in the sun by condemning the President and even maligning him. Instead of constantly complaining, it's about time Cuomo apologized to President Trump and to those Americans across the country who specifically helped NYC during her time of need. It is not President Trump who has fallen short in doing his job, rather governor Cuomo and his side-kick Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City. Three weeks ago Cuomo was demanding ventilators, masks, gowns, and hospital beds. He made no demands of himself, rather of the President. But now many are asking why the governor had not spent his many years in office accumulating the supplies needed for the emergencies and epidemics that surely transpire. In President Trump's desire to help the country and specifically the state where he was born and raised, Mr. Trump did not haggle over the question of whose responsibility it is to take care of state needs, but instead dove headlong to supply what New York needed. While Cuomo spent his days grandstanding and pontificating, and alternating his made-for-TV attire between informal leather jackets one day, blazers the next, presidential suits, and then sweaters, Mr. Trump was marshaling and corralling every force in this country and around the globe to provide the needs of New York state. Cuomo always looks well rested while Mr. Trump, the heroic workhorse, looks exhausted. We now know why: one is playing soap-opera governor while the other is a minute-by-minute, indefatigable President.

| The 1 certain victor in pandemic war: Big Government Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:00 AM PDT Pat Buchanan predicts never-ending bailouts & annual budget deficits of $1 trillion-plus "War is the health of the state," wrote the progressive Randolph Bourne during the First World War, after which he succumbed to the Spanish flu. America's war on the coronavirus pandemic promises to be no exception to the axiom. However long this war requires, the gargantuan state will almost surely emerge triumphant. Currently, the major expenditures of the U.S. government, as well as a growing share of total federal spending, are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. None of these programs will be curtailed or reduced this year or next. And if the Democrats win in November, the nation will likely take a great leap forward – toward national health insurance. Republicans are calling for a suspension until 2021 of payroll taxes used to finance Social Security and Medicare. While that would provide an economic stimulus, it would also blow a huge hole in federal revenue and further enlarge the deficit and national debt.
