Jennifer Van Laar:
“…San Francisco-based writer Erica Sandberg has been organizing what she calls “see for yourself/think for yourself” walks through her city so regular residents can take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the homeless crisis for themselves and not rely upon the curated experiences of activists, politicians, and the mainstream media. Even more importantly, her tours are not narrated, allowing participants to draw their own conclusions about what they’re viewing.
What they’re all seeing is terrifying and a city “spiraling out of control.”
San Francisco residents have been subject to a “shelter in place” order since March 17, but most of the restrictions in the order don’t apply to people “experiencing homelessness.” From what Sandberg has witnessed, drug dealing and abuse hasn’t been affected in any way…”

Democrat super-majority rule at its best. How can you improve on this?
The Durham Investigation is proceeding and A.G. Barr is declassifying previously secret information along the way. Will it lead to indictments?
That is with nationwide shut down for Coronavirus

“…Whitmer sought to deflect heat off of her during a press conference on Monday, comparing the coronavirus outbreak to fighting in World War II.
“In World War II, there weren’t people lining up at the Capitol to protest the fact that they had to drop everything they were doing, and build planes, or tanks, or to ration food,” Whitmer said. “They rolled up their sleeves, and they got to work.”

Political commentator John Hawkins wrote: “They were fighting against people then that wanted to destroy their livelihoods, take their freedom and keep them imprisoned. Now, the person that wants to do that is their own governor.”…”

Jon Dougherty:
“…The establishment media has consistently utilized President Donald Trump’s coronavirus briefings as a platform for ‘performance journalism,’ rife with ‘gotcha’ questions that are primarily designed to attack him rather than actually inform the American people.
And one more than one occasion, now that these briefings have stretched into weeks, the president has had his fill of the nonsense.
Like on Sunday.
After being accused by CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond of being more focused on his administration’s coronavirus achievements than ‘the death toll’ everyone in the Washington press corps wants us to endlessly focus on, Trump had had enough.
“Can you explain why you come out here and you are reading clips and showing clips of praise for you and your administration? Is this really the time for self-congratulations?” Diamond asked — the implication being, of course, that Trump doesn’t give a damn about Americans who have died, which is patently and obviously absurd, given what he’s done to try to save people.
“What I’m doing is standing up for the men and women that have done an incredible job,” Trump replied, adding “I’m also sticking up for doctors and nurses and military doctors and nurses.”
“Those people have been just absolutely excoriated by some of the fake news, like you.” Trump continued, adding “You’re CNN, you’re fake news. And let me just tell you, they were excoriated by people like you that don’t know any better because you don’t have the brains you were born with.”…”
