The First 12 Minutes of This Video Demonstrates Why CNN & MSNBC Will Always Fear Their Much Superior Competitor
I go long periods of time not watching cable news. I find it a bit excruciating to listen to someone make a statement, and then moments later some makeup overdosed flathead takes it on themselves and their panel to tell me I heard what I didn't hear. It must be a terrible existence to not be able to think for yourself....

China’s Communist Cover-Up’ on COVID-19
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy sounds off on China’s handling of coronavirus on ‘Justice with Judge Jeanine.’ McCarthy is absolutely correct. We have outsourced many of the products we need on a strategic level to China. What’s not discussed is why. Over the last decades, it has become increasingly difficult to manufacture anything in the USA. The amount of government red tape, labor laws, unions, environmental regulations are monumental. Then there are the taxes. From a business perspective, it’s just easier to move a plant outside our borders than to deal with all the b... more »

CoVid19 – Can Britain avert the coming catastrophe
By TruePublica Editor: The Boris Johnson government have clearly demonstrated they are not the people to run the country in a crisis. Their refusal to partake in an EU procurement programme for desperately needed life-saving medical equipment is a last-gasp expression of their tribalism in a situation which demanded so much more. It shone a light on exactly who they are and they failed us all in our time of need. The reality was that they made the wrong decisions and then lied about it. Now the cover-ups begin.
Sunday morning music
Last Sunday I put up a number of humorous songs related (more or less) to the coronavirus pandemic. They seem to have amused readers; but a couple of my overseas fans wrote in to ask "Who is Ray Stevens?"

Here are five of his songs, in no particular order, culled from a very long and prolific musical career. Enjoy! There are many more of his songs on YouTube, if you're interested. Peter
