Democrats seize on social distancing to push for remote voting in November

Nancy Pelosi calling for 'stimulus' billions to fund vote-by-mail, Joe Biden floats 'drive-in voting'

Democrats appear united in their push to use “social distancing” around coronavirus to move the country toward November mail-in voting, expanded voting dates or possibly even “drive-thru voting.”

Republicans suspect Democrats could be exploiting a health crisis for partisan gain. Some fear a rapid move to alter the general election system could result in the type of chaos seen at the Iowa Democratic Caucus in February.

The general election is still seven months away, and epidemiological models suggest a fall outbreak would be far less severe and not require the extreme measures of “social distancing” seen today. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Monday at the White House that America’s response would be “orders of magnitude better” than the current pandemic. Yet Democrats seem intent on immediately locking in changes to in-person balloting.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said “we’ll probably be moving to vote by mail” due to coronavirus and suggested a new coronavirus stimulus package should include $4 billion to fund voting-by-mail.

Former presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) tweeted her thanks Pelosi’s suggestion.

The House version of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill — which was ultimately rejected — would have required states “to send absentee ballots to every registered voter, requiring online and same-day voter registration, and expanding early voting by 15 days."

Likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden even suggested that states could provide “drive-in voting” for the November election because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Republicans are skeptical of these proposals, worried they could result in rushed, widespread electoral fraud through “ballot harvesting,” when paper votes are collected by third parties who...

UCLA student drops 'indoctrinating' class after prof's instruction to advocate for illegal immigrants

A UCLA student says he dropped a course because of how "indoctrinating" it turned out to be.

Josiah Badie, a UCLA student, shared video of an online lecture with Campus Reform.

In the video,Kent Wong instructs students to "advanc[e] the campaign for sanctuary for undocumented students..."

It's been just over three weeks since most California Colleges announced the suspension of in-person courses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During this time, many students, professors, and faculty members have begun the transition to online lectures. But the transition has not dissuaded some faculty members from pushing their own political beliefs on their students.

In a video obtained by Campus Reform of a prerecorded online lecture obtained by Campus Reform, UCLA instructor Kent Wong can be seen explaining the class to his students with the stated purpose of “advancing the campaign for sanctuary for undocumented students and staff here at the UCLA campus."

"It wasn't an assignment," UCLA student Josiah Badie, who enrolled in the class, told Campus Reform. "It was a theme of the class."

"If it was just an assignment, I could write a paper and take one die grade but this was a whole class goal, objective...this was basically the syllabus," Badie added.

WATCH:

This project was assigned to students in a course titled Non-Violence and Social Movements. In the video lecture, Wong is heard explaining the importance of the assignment by stating, "This is a critical campaign. This is a critical issue, especially now, when immigrant students and immigrant communities are under fierce attack by the current administration," the current administration being that of the Trump Administration.

Badie expressed his concerns to Campus Reform about the course and its objectives, “I’ve taken a lot of G.E. classes so I’ve kinda gotten used to the left bias and everything." But he added, "this one made me...

Tucker Blasts DHS For Buffing Cheap Labor Visa Programs During Corona Recession

Americans are losing their jobs. Why is DHS handing out work visas?

Fox’s Tucker Carlson raised the alarm on an attempt by Department of Homeland Security bureaucrats to boost cheap labor worker visas in the midst of the chinese coronavirus epidemic, undercutting the jobs and wages of American workers in an hour where many face renewed economic insecurity as a result of the pandemic.

On Wednesday, DHS released 20,000 H-2B visas as a corporate giveaway, allowing employers to import nominally seasonal blue collar workers in an hour where 3.3 million Americans are slated to file for unemployment benefits.

DHS is planning on releasing even more cheap labor giveaway visas in the coming months, lining up 15,000 more visas by May. DHS Secretary Chad Wolf is creating the visas for business interests in an arbitrary fashion, surpassing the allotted annual cap of around 60,000 with the bonus visas.

Tucker Blasting DHS Plan to Bring in Foreign Workers During Coronavirus Crisis

Five Quick Things: Apocalypse More Or Less Now

The shutdown can’t continue.

I was going to make this Five Quick Things legitimately quick, but I failed. I’d say I’m sorry, but you know I’m not. Besides, there’s a lot going on and a lot that ought to be said.

So let’s get down to business.

1. This shutdown can’t continue. At some point it’s going to have to stop, and we’re going to have to go back to work.

The $22 trillion U.S. economy is the single greatest achievement in human history, but it’s more than that — it is the primary engine of human progress that has dragged the population of Planet Earth out of misery and want.

If that economy is destroyed by a viral plague emanating out of either a bioweapons lab or a barbaric farm-to-table “wet market” serving bats, pangolins, civet cats, and other exotic animals more fit for a Netflix series than local culinary experimentation, it will literally be the largest own-goal of civilization since the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s overreaction to that unpleasantness in Belgrade.

Part of the responsibility is ours, though you aren’t wrong if you assign most of it to China (more on that below). As Steve Skinner so aptly described it last weekend within these pages, we are massively overreacting to the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.

And there are real consequences to this. In two weeks, 10 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits. There are undoubtedly more to come, if for no other reason than that state unemployment offices are begging filers to fill out their forms online because they can’t process the current volume over the phones. In another two weeks the number will be 20 million if it isn’t more.

It’s worse than that. We’re losing businesses, significant businesses, and we’re going to lose more. Logan’s Roadhouse, the restaurant chain, just closed 260 units and let all their employees go. They’re finished. It’s only a matter of weeks before every department store in the country is gone, which will take down every shopping mall in America. The big-retail industry might have been on its last legs, but this will clearly finish it off. Oil and gas had problems owing to the predations of the Saudis and Russians before this mess began; now, people in the industry are talking about the carnage $8-per-barrel oil will do to domestic production. The construction industry is all but finished at the moment, and people in that industry are worried that with all the wealth this shutdown has destroyed, whether or not there will be enough capital to resume work and fund new projects.

The restaurant industry employs 14 million Americans, more than any other industry. Or, rather, employed 14 million Americans — because it certainly doesn’t employ that many anymore. And Logan’s Roadhouse isn’t the first, and certainly won’t be the last, of the restaurant chains, much less mom and pop establishments, that die off as a result of the shutdown.

Hotels, airlines, car washes, barber shops, nail salons, florists, gyms … the economic carnage of shutting down an entire country for two months is incalculable.

The New York Stock Exchange lost, per an Investor’s Business Daily story dated March 12, some $7.3 trillion from Feb. 19 to March 11. Things got worse from there, though stock indexes have generally rebounded and are hovering close to where they were on that date.

If you simply divide the $7 trillion by the number of Wuhan coronavirus deaths in the United States so far, 6,075 as of this writing, you come to more than a billion dollars per death just in the loss of wealth from stock prices. The real economic loss doesn’t come from shares trading lower — it’s far more human. It’s the loss of a job, of a livelihood, of a dream.

That number will certainly come down as the virus takes its toll. But the loss from the shutdown is more than just money. It’s the loss of our national spirit, of our capabilities, and, as noted in this space a couple of columns ago, it’s the loss of lives as well. You cannot turn all of America into the ghetto, the barrio, or the dead Appalachian town without suffering loss of life. Poverty and hopelessness are debilitating, dangerous things, and they must be stamped out — not chosen.

It’s clear President Trump understands this, whether or not those around him do. Soon Trump is going to have to step up and make a call in favor of the American people and lead us out of our self-inflicted national misery. If he doesn’t, the cure will surely be worse than the disease.

2. Shaddap, LaToya.

We’ll be very quick about this one, because it’s stupid enough not to deserve even this much notice.

But New Orleans’ mayor, LaToya Cantrell, a bona fide mouth-breathing moron who heretofore had as her primary claim to fame the distinction of being the only mayor in America willing to allow a moldering corpse to remain uncollected more or less in public view on a major city street for months, has been enjoying her 15 minutes of fame on the two usual-suspect poisonous cable news outlets for bashing Trump over not ordering her to shut down the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations.

Mardi Gras fell on Feb. 25 of this year. New Orleans has since seen a significant spike in Wuhan virus cases; the city proper has well more than 3,000 known cases and an official death count of 125 as of this writing. It’s said the nightly gatherings of revelers during that carnival season were a super-spreader event turning the Big Easy into the Big Sneezy. Cantrell took it on herself to dismantle the ubiquitous “tandem floats” this year after a pair of idiots managed to get themselves run over during parades, something she did without Trump’s help. Why she thinks playing Monday Morning Quarterback about shutting Mardi Gras down now is useful is explainable only by the usual analysis the reader doesn’t need me to spell out.

But the whole discussion is absurd. The first known coronavirus case in Louisiana came on March 9, two weeks after Mardi Gras. Anecdotally, people in that city had been complaining of a respiratory “crud” with symptoms quite similar to coronavirus for two or three months before then. Nobody identified it; all they knew was they were testing negative for the flu. To shut Mardi Gras down in mid-February would have been more or less unthinkable.

New Orleans doesn’t have much industry left. Idiot politicians like Cantrell, and the stupid policies they bring with them, have run off everything but tourism and hospitality. Take Mardi Gras away from that city and it’s a cross between Detroit and Mogadishu. Cantrell would be better off realizing that the timing was a rough break and quit trying to act like that clown mayor of San Juan after the hurricane.

3. Don’t blindly trust those death-toll numbers.

They're doing the YouTube pranks Swedes won't do!

Pranks amid the coronavirus epidemic have been condemned as "unsavoury", "backward", and "unfunny".

Youths in the Municipality of Eslöv in Sweden's southernmost Skåne County have adopted the habit of knowingly coughing, sneezing, and spitting on elderly people, while laughing at their victims, Swedish Radio reported.

The municipality has warned its inhabitants and urged parents to "talk" with their children.

“It has come to our knowledge that older people feel insecure. That young people cough and shout 'corona' only to walk away and laugh”, Ingrid Westerlund, the head of operations at Eslöv Municipality, told Swedish Radio.

[...] Earlier, the news outlet Samhällsnytt reported about a migrant duo from Eskilstuna publishing a prank video on YouTube where they approached random people while coughing and saying they had the coronavirus. The video was later removed, but continues to spread on Twitter.
