Itâs kind of like visiting Hellâs video store. 
I found an interesting article. 
And from todayâs Patheosâ Catholic newsletter.
At least you can find non-COVID-19 stories, in Weekly World News. 
May it be so:
"It is by now obvious that the Democrats are determined to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic in a last desperate attempt to get the president. House Speaker Nancy elosi (D-Calif.) has launched yet another Trump investigation, said his call to reopen the economy is âsinful,â and colluded with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to block the GOP effort to pass financial aid without which even more Americans will lose their jobs. Meanwhile, the nationâs Democratic governors refuse to ease their job-killing lockdowns, despite indications that the spread of COVID-19 has already passed its peak. The Democrats clearly hope that the resultant recession will cause Trump to lose in November.
But the voters are well aware that the Democrats are motivated by pure partisanship. In a recent Harvard Caps/Harris poll, 60 percent of registered voters said Nancy Pelosi is âputting party over country.â They also know Trump wants to reopen the country. AP reports, âPresident Donald Trump gave governors a road map Thursday for recovering from the economic pain of the coronavirus pandemic.â Democratic governors will balk, but 22 million Americans have lost their jobs due to state lockdowns, and many are already protesting in North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan, and Virginia. Moreover, federal lawsuits have been filed against Democratic governors claiming the lockdowns violate the Constitution:
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer faces at least two federal lawsuits challenging her April 9 executive order to combat the coronavirus outbreak, including requirements that residents stay at home.⌠In complaints filed on Tuesday and Wednesday, several Michigan residents and one business accused the governor of violating their constitutional rights by imposing her âStay Home, Stay Safeâ order.
Whitmer is not the only Democratic governor to be sued pursuant to a lockdown. In March, a federal lawsuit was filed against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) by Brooklyn resident Lee Nigen, who objects to Cuomoâs threat to use law enforcement personnel to coerce compliance. As Nigenâs attorney told the New York Post , âClearly, there is a grave public health emergency.⌠But lawful process matters and emergency orders of this sort, if left unchallenged, will evolve into precedents with horrifying consequences.â Nigenâs lawsuit touches on an issue that will come up again. On March 23, Gov. Cuomo imposed an indefinite ban on large gatherings, an outrageous violation of the constitutional right of free assembly.
When April 30 rolls around, Americans will have had enough of living under house arrest while their livelihoods evaporate and it becomes obvious that the fatality projections upon which their Democratic governors based Draconian stay-at-home orders were wild exaggerations based on statistically meaningless data. Cynical partisans like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Gretchen Whitmer, and Andrew Cuomo will neither be able to keep their constituents imprisoned in their homes nor retain their trust. Trumpâs instincts will have been vindicated, and he will leverage his advantages as an incumbent to convince the voters not to fall for any further Democratic skulduggery."
Populous Dem states face the worst hot spots. And as far as I can see, they are faithfully following Trumps own reasonable guidelines that require 14 days of declining cases before even going to stage 1 of recovery. And when a GOP governor ignored that and opened up businesses, Trump repeatedly lambasted him as foolhardy. Itâs not easy being in their position.
I honestly doubt any governor wants to preside over the devastation of their stateâs economy. Voters donât tend to reward politicians when the economy sucks. Indeed, I think each governor feels caught between a rock and a hard place, and we should give each of them the non-partisan benefit of the doubt that they are trying to find the right path toward opening their economy.
Trump left it up to the state governors, as to when they reopen. He just gave some federal guidelines, which the Republican governor of Georgia - is obviously ignoring. Illinois is in partnership with six other states. They are basing decisions, on scientific and medical advice. Since the Illinois governor is a billionaire, he does understand economics a bit.
One Illinois state republican representative sued about reopening. He won the initial court battle. But the state is immediately appealing. So folks in states do have court options, if they donât like the lockdown.
President Trump is busy with other things.
And this crisis is overwhelming, for some US (and world) doctors
I did give the perspective of professional homeopaths elsewhere. Some have M.D. and Ph.D. degrees (or both).
And one can watch free, the video seminars I took at Homeopathy - Coronavirus Pandemic - Its origins, nature, epidemiology, treatment & prevention.
Folks here (and elsewhere) are free, to wait for science and medicine - to find cures and vaccines. Or see what natural medicine has to offer.
Or chat with this guy.
Now, what does the Trump base think?
And here is a seminar, on how Panama is dealing with COVID-19.
Itâs great to see the support for our duly elected President.
ButâŚ
" The news about Joe Biden has taken on a completely surreal quality. For a long time, the headlines were about his declining mental state, which is becoming hard to ignore. This was bizarre enough in a presumptive Democrat candidate for the presidency.
Then, Tara Reade dropped a bombshell, alleging that the same politician known for publicly groping and sniffing women and children had sexually assaulted her. The media assiduously ignored Readeâs allegations as long as they could and eventually reported on them only to dismiss both Reade and the allegations.
The mediaâs worst nightmare came true, though, when corroborating evidence about Readeâs allegations started piling up. It was easy enough to downplay corroboration when it came from her brother and a friend. Of course theyâd side with her. But when a phone call from Readeâs mother to The Larry King Show in 1993 â a time contemporaneous with the event â popped up and Mom was talking about her daughterâs problems with a âprominent senator,â things got dicey.
The nightmare reached Stephen King proportions yesterday, when two women who knew Reade in the mid-1990s, not long after the alleged assault, reported that Reade had told them about the assault."âŚ
It looks like no one is returning to Congress in Washington.
Got to love the double standard. This whole thing proves just how corrupt the Democratic party is. The president who talked about sexual assault (grabbing them by the p____y), is deemed worse than the former VP actually sexually assaulting someone. Only the left and fundamentalists can make a thought crime worse than the real thing.
Well, I did find a story on the BBC - not mentioning Trump or the pandemic.
And this one.
Well, thereâs aways one in every crowd,
Not only do you find stories like this.
But also stories like this.
A couple more BBC stories.
And the BBC just keeps on cracking them out.
Thatâs what they do!!
Now, these are good questions. 
Ok, this is a long entry. Itâs part of a speech by Daniel Greenfield, who I have never caught in a lie or a spin. I may have missed where he did those things, of course, but Iâve learned to trust him with the important stuff.
" But itâs not guns that make a civil war. Itâs politics.
Guns are how a civil war ends. Politics is how it begins.
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they canât settle the question through elections because they donât even agree that elections are how you decide whoâs in charge.
Thatâs the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
I know youâre all thinking about President Trump.
He won and the establishment, the media, the democrats, rejected the results. They came up with a whole bunch of conspiracy theories to explain why he didnât really win. It was the Russians. And the FBI. And sexism, Obama, Bernie Sanders and white people.
Itâs easier to make a list of the things that Hillary Clinton doesnât blame for losing the election. Itâs going to be a short list.
A really short list. Herself.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But itâs not the first time theyâve done this.
The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didnât really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. Thereâs a pattern here.
Trump didnât really win the election. Bush didnât really win the election. Every time a Republican president won an election this century, the Democrats insist he didnât really win.
Now say a third Republican president wins an election in say, 2024.
What are the odds that theyâll say that he didnât really win? Right now, it looks like 100 percent.
What do sure odds of the Dems rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they donât accept the results of any election that they donât win.
It means they donât believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
Thatâs a civil war.
Thereâs no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isnât dissent. Itâs not disagreement.
You can hate the other party. You can think theyâre the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you donât win, what you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to the left, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, itâs inherently illegitimate.
The attacks on Trump show that elections donât matter to the left.
Republicans can win an election, but they have a major flaw. Theyâre not leftists.
Thatâs what the leftist dictatorship looks like.
The left lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats.
Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States canât scratch his own back without his say so, thatâs the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but thatâs not the system that runs this country.
The leftâs system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If itâs in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited.
Heâs a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President canât do anything. He isnât even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented.
A Democrat in the White House has âdiscretionâ to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesnât even have the âdiscretionâ to reverse him.
Thatâs how the game is played. Thatâs how our country is run.
When Democrats control the Senate, then Harry Reid and his boys and girls are the sane, wise heads that keep the crazy guys in the House in check.
But when Republicans control the Senate, then itâs an outmoded body inspired by racism.
When Democrats run the Supreme Court, then it has the power to decide everything in the country. But when Republicans control the Supreme Court, itâs a dangerous body that no one should pay attention to.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states arenât even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws.
Under Obama, a state wasnât allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether itâs Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land.
This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
There isnât one guy in a room somewhere issuing the orders. Instead thereâs a network of them. And the network moves around.
If the guys and girls in the network win elections, they can do it from the White House. If they lose the White House, theyâll do it from Congress. If they donât have either one, theyâll use the Supreme Court.
If they donât have either the White House, Congress or the Supreme Court, theyâre screwed. Right?
Nope.
They just go on issuing them through circuit courts and the bureaucracy. State governments announce that theyâre independent republics. Corporations begin threatening and suing the government.
Thereâs no consistent legal standard. Only a political one.
Under Obama, states werenât allowed to enforce immigration laws. That was the job of the Federal government. And the states werenât allowed to interfere with the job that the Feds werenât doing.
Okay.
Now Trump comes into office and starts enforcing immigration laws again. And California announces itâs a sanctuary state and passes a law punishing businesses that cooperate with Federal immigration enforcement.
So what do we have here?
Itâs illegal for states to enforce immigration law because thatâs the province of the Federal government. But itâs legal for states to ban the Federal government from enforcing immigration law.
The only consistent pattern here is that the left decided to make it illegal to enforce immigration law.
It may do that sometimes under the guise of Federal power or states rights. But those are just fronts. The only consistent thing is that leftist policies are mandatory and opposing them is illegal.
Everything else is just a song and dance routine.
Thatâs how it works. Itâs the moving dictatorship. Itâs the tyranny of the network.
You canât pin it down. Thereâs no one office or one guy. Itâs a network of them. Itâs an ideological dictatorship. Some people call it the deep state. But that doesnât even begin to capture what it is.
To understand it, you have to think about things like the Cold War and Communist infiltration.
A better term than Deep State is Shadow Government.
Parts of the Shadow Government arenât even in the government. They are wherever the left holds power. It can be in the non-profit sector and among major corporations. Power gets moved around like a New York City shell game. Whereâs the quarter? Nope, itâs not there anymore.
The shadow government is an ideological network. These days it calls itself by a hashtag #Resistance. Under any name, it runs the country. Most of the time we donât realize that. When things are normal, when thereâs a Democrat in the White House or a bunch of Democrats in Congress, itâs business as usual.
Even with most Republican presidents, you didnât notice anything too out of the ordinary. Sure, the Democrats got their way most of the time. But thatâs how the game is usually played.
Itâs only when someone came on the scene who didnât play the game by the same rules, that the network exposed itself. The shadow government emerged out of hiding and came for Trump.
And thatâs the civil war.
This is a war over who runs the country. Do the people who vote run the country or does this network that can lose an election, but still get its agenda through, run the country?
Weâve been having this fight for a while. But this century things have escalated.
They escalated a whole lot after Trumpâs win because the network isnât pretending anymore. It sees the opportunity to delegitimize the whole idea of elections.
Now the network isnât running the country from cover. Itâs actually out here trying to overturn the results of an election and remove the president from office.
Itâs rejected the victories of two Republican presidents this century.
And if we donât stand up and confront it, and expose it for what it is, itâs going to go on doing it in every election. And eventually Federal judges are going to gain enough power that they really will overturn elections.
It happens in other countries. If you think it canât happen here, you havenât been paying attention to the left.
Right now, Federal judges are declaring that President Trump isnât allowed to govern because his Tweets show heâs a racist. How long until they say that a president isnât even allowed to take office because they donât like his views?
Thatâs where weâre headed.
Civil wars swing around a very basic question. The most basic question of them all. Who runs the country?
Is it me? Is it you? Is it Grandma? Or is it bunch of people who made running the government into their career?
America was founded on getting away from professional government. The British monarchy was a professional government. Like all professional governments, it was hereditary. Professional classes eventually decide to pass down their privileges to their kids.
America was different. We had a volunteer government. Thatâs what the Founding Fathers built.
This is a civil war between volunteer governments elected by the people and professional governments elected by⌠well⌠uh⌠themselves.
Of the establishment, by the establishment and for the establishment.
You know, the people who always say they know better, no matter how many times they screw up, because theyâre the professionals. Theyâve been in Washington D.C. politics since they were in diapers.
Freedom can only exist under a volunteer government. Because everyone is in charge. Power belongs to the people.
A professional government is going to have to stamp out freedom sooner or later. Freedom under a professional government can only be a fiction. Whenever the people disagree with the professionals, theyâre going to have to get put down. Thatâs just how it is. No matter how itâs disguised, a professional government is tyranny.
Ours is really well disguised, but if it walks like a duck and locks you up like a duck, itâs a tyranny.
Now whatâs the left.
Forget all the deep answers. The left is a professional government.
Itâs whole idea is that everything needs to be controlled by a big central government to make society just. That means everything from your soda sizes to whether you can mow your lawn needs to be decided in Washington D.C.
Volunteer governments are unjust. Professional governments are fair. Thatâs the credo of the left.
Its network, the one we were just discussing, it takes over professional governments because it shares their basic ideas. Professional governments, no matter who runs them, are convinced that everything should run through the professionals. And the professionals are usually lefties. If they arenât, they will be.
Just ask Mueller and establishment guys like him.
What infuriates professional government more than anything else? An amateur, someone like President Trump who didnât spend his entire adult life practicing to be president, taking over the job.
President Trump is what volunteer government is all about.
When youâre a government professional, youâre invested in keeping the system going. But when youâre a volunteer, you can do all the things that the experts tell you canât be done. You can look at the mess weâre in with fresh eyes and do the common sense things that President Trump is doing.
And common sense is the enemy of government professionals. Itâs why Trump is such a threat.
A Republican government professional would be bad enough. But a Republican government volunteer does that thing youâre not supposed to do in government⌠think differently.
Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You canât serve in if youâre not a member. If you havenât been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you arenât in the club.
And Trump isnât in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who arenât in the club with him.
Now weâre seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
Thatâs not a free country.
Itâs not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an âinsurance policyâ against Trump winning the election. Itâs not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. Itâs not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. Itâs not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasnât supposed to win, won.
Weâre in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and leftist professional government.
The pros have made it clear that theyâre not going to accept election results anymore. Theyâre just going to make us do whatever they want. Theyâre in charge and we better do what they say.
Thatâs the war weâre in. And itâs important that we understand that.
Because this isnât a shooting war yet. And I donât want to see it become one.
And before the shooting starts, civil wars are fought with arguments. To win, you have to understand what the big picture argument is. Itâs easy to get bogged down in arguments that donât matter or wonât really change anything.
This is the argument that changes everything.
Do we have a government of the people and by the people? Or do we have a tyranny of the professionals?
The Democrats try to dress up this argument in leftist social justice babble. Those fights are worth having. But sometimes we need to pull back the curtain on what this is really about.
Theyâve tried to rig the system. Theyâve done it by gerrymandering, by changing the demographics of entire states through immigration, by abusing the judiciary and by a thousand different tricks.
But civil wars come down to an easy question. Who runs the country?
Theyâve given us their answer and we need to give them our answer.
Both sides talk about taking back the country. But who are they taking it back for?
The left uses identity politics. It puts supposed representatives of entire identity groups up front. Weâre taking the country back for women and for black people, and so on and so forthâŚ
But nobody elected their representatives.
Identity groups donât vote for leaders. All the black people in the country never voted to make Shaun King al Al Sharpton their representative. And women sure as hell didnât vote for Hillary Clinton.
What we have in America is a representative government. A representative government makes freedom possible because it actually represents people, instead of representing ideas.
The leftâs identity politics only represents ideas. Nobody gets to vote on them.
Instead the left puts out representatives from different identity politics groups, thereâs your gay guy, thereâs three women, thereâs a black man, as fronts for their professional government system.
When theyâre taking back the country, itâs always for professional government. Itâs never for the people.
When conservatives fight to take back the country, itâs for the people. Itâs for volunteer government the way that the Founding Fathers wanted it to be.
This is a civil war over whether the American people are going to govern themselves. Or are they going to be governed.
Are we going to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people⌠or are we going to have a government.
The kind of government that most countries have where a few special people decide whatâs best for everyone.
We tried that kind of government under the British monarchy. And we had a revolution because we didnât like it.
But that revolution was met with a counterrevolution by the left. The left wants a monarchy. It wants King Obama or Queen Oprah.
It wants to end government of the people, by the people and for the people. Thatâs what theyâre fighting for. Thatâs what weâre fighting against. The stakes are as big as theyâre ever going to get. Do elections matter anymore?
I live in the state of Ronald Reagan. I can go visit the Ronald Reagan Library any time I want to. But today California has one party elections. There are lots of elections and propositions. Thereâs all the theater of democracy, but none of the substance. Its political system is as free and open as the Soviet Union.
And that can be America.
The Trump years are going to decide if America survives. When his time in office is done, weâre either going to be California or a free nation once again.
The civil war is out in the open now and we need to fight the good fight. And we must fight to win.
My South Carolina Tea Party Convention Speech)
We may agree upon that 
Perhaps with a little help from Super Putin.
