Conservative Street Artist Sabo Strikes Again With Campaign to End Quarantine
Conservative street artist Sabo decided he's had enough of the coronavirus lockdown and, in his trademark style, is urging political leaders in California and Los Angeles to open things up again. "I was a good guy sitting in my apartment for long enough," Sabo told PJ Media. "Strange how most if not all of the mayors and governors who are pushing for longer quarantine time are Democrats."
"Is this Chinese flu real or blown out of proportion I don't know," he continued. "But, I know one thing for sure, the powers that be now know what little it would take for them to strip us of the constitutional rights we talk so much about. And if you think they won't use it again at some point in the future, you're crazy."
Sabo's latest street art calls for the quarantine to end and let people get back to normal life. And Sabo reports he doesn't feel guilty for advocating an end to the coronavirus shutdowns. "If this thing is like the flu, then we're all going to eventually get it at some point. Staying inside isn't going to stop that. Personally, I think many more people have had this than we know."
Sabo believes he probably already caught the coronavirus during a trip to New York in early February and recovered. "Most everyone I got in contact with became ill as well. It lasted for some time. So it wouldn't surprise me if I'd already caught it. Considering I'm in my 50s now makes me in one of the high-risk zones, so if anyone's going to suffer this thing I'm sure I'm on the...
China Backs Democratic Resistance to President Trump
Democratic governors are forming regional blocs to resist President Donald Trump’s efforts to get the American economy moving and put people back to work. They have picked up a powerful ally, one that should give the public cause for alarm. On April 19, the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, a major media outlet of the Chinese Communist Party, wrote an op-ed in which he stated “My advice is to focus China-US anti-epidemic cooperation with US states, while giving the federal government a cold shoulder.” Like the Democrats, Hu Xijin attacked Trump’s policies and proclaimed, “China needs to take necessary actions and express its strong dissatisfaction.” The graphic accompanying Hu’s column showed an American fist slamming down in a demand for action being held in check by a Chinese hand held up signaling stop.
There is every reason for Beijing to want America’s economic downturn and political turmoil to continue as long as possible while it recovers from the effects of the pandemic. The regime has been pushing hard to reopen the economy and declare that its position as the center of worldwide manufacturing has not been weakened by the crisis. Indeed, an essay in the state-run China Daily proclaimed on April 14, “Global Reliance on China Won’t Reduce.” It asserted, “Even if more regionalized and diversified supply chains would reduce risks, China retains considerable competitive advantages in many areas, such as electronics and machinery and equipment manufacturing.” New “investments will help China build on recent progress in even more high-tech sectors, including big data, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and the industrial internet. Which in turn will deepen China's integration into the global technological supply chain.” On March 24, it was declared that Dongfeng Honda, the largest industrial enterprise in Wuhan, which runs three factories producing over 3,000 cars per day, was up and running. Beijing also claimed that most industry outside the Wuhan area was already back in operation.
Even earlier, on February 28, China Daily reported "If the central authorities' policies can be implemented to the letter, the real economy and the job markets could be gradually stabilized in the first quarter, laying a solid groundwork for a quick and strong recovery in the following quarters." The piece also claimed that exports will boost recovery -- which means along with domestic fiscal and monetary stimulus, Beijing will be pushing exports with subsidies. The U.S. and Europe will need to monitor and counter this "dumping" to prevent China from...
Hollywood Has $9 Billion Reasons to Not Blame China for the Coronavirus Pandemic
Trump-bashing Hollywood figures, from film stars to studio executives, have been conspicuously silent when it comes to China as evidence mounts that Chinese dictators sought to hide the true gravity of the coronavirus outbreak and silence doctors who tried to speak out.
Take Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista. He’s attacked President Donald Trump for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. As one of Hollywood’s most prominent anti-Trump voices, Bautista has fired off tweets insulting the commander in chief’s daily press briefings and recently called quarantine protestors “morons” for seeking to re-open state economies.
But the actor has been conspicuously silent when it comes to China — and he along with the rest of the entertainment industry have billions of reasons to stay quiet as more evidence points to actions that China’s dictators sought to hide the true gravity of the coronavirus outbreak and silencing doctors who tried to speak out.
Bautista isn’t the only Marvel actor to attack President Trump over the coronavirus. Captain America star Chris Evans accused the president of running off the stage during a recent press conference without answering questions. “America wants answers,” the actor tweeted in March. But just like his Avengers co-star, Evans has refrained from criticizing China over the pandemic.
As Hollywood continues to shift to ever-more expensive tentpole movie releases, the major studios are relying on Chinese moviegoers to turn a profit. But to gain access to the world’s second largest movie market, they have to first play nice with China’s film officials who control which foreign titles get to play in the country’s more than 60,000 cinemas.
Movie stars looking to find work in Hollywood need only glance at the figures to know that staying quiet about China is good for their careers and their coffers. The Chinese box office has skyrocketed in the past ten years. Officials claim that Chinese cinemas brought in $9.2 billion last year, compared to...
Trump Owns PBS Reporter With Ridiculous Questions About Him ‘Causing Sickness’ And ‘Not Taking Virus Seriously’
“Nancy Pelosi, she wanted to have a street party in Chinatown.”
In what has become a daily occurrence at the White House press briefings, President Trump had to fend off baseless accusations from a left wing reporter. This time that he hasn’t taken the coronavirus outbreak seriously, causing families to become sick.
PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor told Trump that she knew people who became infected with the virus because they saw the President didn’t “have a mask on,” so they didn’t take precautions.
“They went to a funeral in mid-March and they said mainly because the president wasn’t taking it seriously, he said if the president had a mask on, if he was saying we should stay home, that I would have stayed home,” Alcindor claimed, adding “family members were sick because they were listening to you. Are you concerned that downplaying the virus maybe got people sick?”
First of all, imagine the reaction if Trump had come out to press briefings wearing a mask. The criticism would have been relentless.
Trump fired back with examples of exactly who and who wasn’t taking the outbreak seriously:

“We put on a ban of China where China can’t come in and before March we put on a ban on Europe where Europe can’t come in,” Trump urged.
“How can you say I wasn’t taking it seriously? I put a ban on China before anybody in this country died. I put on a ban. You tell me.” the President continued.
“Nancy Pelosi, she wanted to have a street party in Chinatown in San Francisco and the end of February,” Trump added, referring to Pelosi’s call to ‘end discrimination’ against Asian Americans by congregating.
“That’s a month later at the end of February. And they tell me it’s only a political talking point. … At the end of January, I put on a ban. People in that room will tell you, I think there were 21 people and I was the only one that wanted to do it. Fortunately, I was the one that counted for...

Trump Suspends Immigration to US to Protect American Jobs
President Donald Trump said on Monday he will be signing an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States.
"In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States", Trump said in a tweet late on Monday.
Trump said the move would also protect Americans' jobs, though the pandemic crisis has already left 22 million people in the US out of work.
The President offered no details as to what immigration programs might be affected by the order. The White House did not immediately elaborate on Trump's tweeted announcement.
Due to the pandemic, almost all visa processing by the State Department, including immigrant visas, has been suspended for weeks.
More than 750,000 Americans have come down with Covid-19 and more than 42,000 have died...
Report: Kim Jong-un in ‘Grave Danger’ Following Open Heart Surgery
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is reportedly in “grave danger” following surgery, CNN reported on Monday evening, citing an anonymous U.S. official with direct knowledge of the situation.
There have been rumors of the dictator’s declining health in recent days, after he reportedly missed the country’s most important political holiday last week — the birthday celebration of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-un’s grandfather and founder of the communist tyranny.
NBC’s Kathy Tur sparked further speculation after deleting a tweet citing two U.S. officials who purportedly claimed that the authoritarian is “brain dead.”
“North Korean leader Kim ing Un is brain dead, according to two US officials. He recently had cardiac surgery and slipped into a coma, according to one US current and one former US official,” she wrote in the now-deleted tweet:
She later added that she deleted the tweet “out of an abundance of caution.”
“Waiting on more info. Apologies,” she added:
I’ve deleted that last tweet out of an abundance of caution. Waiting on more info. Apologies.
3,836 people are talking about this
South Korea is reportedly investigating the reports of the tyrant’s condition, but officials from South Korea’s Unification Ministry and National Intelligence Service have not been able to confirm the report, according to the AP.
Bloomberg News’s Jennifer Jacobs reported late Monday evening that the Trump administration “received information that Kim Jong Un had heart surgery last week and if he’s alive, his health is poor.”
Jacobs reported late Monday evening that the Trump administration “received information that Kim Jong Un had heart surgery last week and if he’s alive, his health is poor.”
“It’s unclear to US officials if he’s dead or alive,” she continued.
“Trump administration officials are looking into who would be in the line of succession if Kim Jong Un dies or is already dead, I’m told,” she added:
