It seems that America is changing a lot after the “Chinese Virus”. Panic gun buying is taking place in strict gun control states, lines are building outside Gun stores. The latest video we have comes from California: https://twitter.com/AmyMek/status/1239852040227979269?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1239852040227979269&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rightjournalism.com%2Fcities-run-by-liberals-shut-down-gun-sales-using-the-coronavirus-pandemic-as-an-excuse%2F But liberals will use this hysteria to push for their globalist agenda, which includes aggressive move on our second amendment rights. Cities that are run by liberals are using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to shut down gun sales. San Jose, Calif. Mayor Sam Liccardo declared that gun stores were “non-essential businesses,” and they are no longer permitted to stay open...

In a surprise breakout, Uber saw its share price soar by more than 38 percent today, dwarfing much of the market’s gains. Shares of ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) skyrocketed today following a conference call with the aim to calm worried investors. The taxi-on-demand service has taken a major beating in the market-wide coronavirus selloff, with widespread quarantine measures being taken across the globe weighing on the company's bottom line. During the conference call, Uber reassured investors, saying that it expects to have over $6 billion in cash on hand, with an additional $2 billion in easily accessible debt. President...

...The stock market of 2020 may not recall the details of what happened under Woodrow Wilson or Warren Harding, but it does reveal how Keynesian policy has exhausted itself. After all, how much lower than zero can you cut interest rates? And how much more can you do than send citizens checks of $2,000? The White House should embrace some pre-Keynesian steps, making it clear that American markets are open for business. Most obvious would be creating individual retirement accounts for Americans and placing cash in them on the condition that they invest the money. That way, they would at...

Joe Scarborough comments on the president's latest briefing on the coronavirus outbreak, calling the announcement of using a malaria drug for treatment another "overpromise" from the administration.

And 3D-printed valve for breathing machine sparks legal threatRemember Theranos? The blood-testing company worth billions whose CEO Elizabeth Holmes became a celebrity right up until the point when it became clear its revolutionary testing machines didn’t actually work as described? Well, Theranos is dead, and Holmes is still dealing with the legal repercussions, but her vampire company has come alive again – and in the very worst way: its reincarnation is suing another medical testing company for patent infringement. It gets worse. While Theranos’ patents, obtained by an outfit called Fortress Investment Group in 2018, do not relate to a...

Soon after he offered public assurances that the government was ready to battle the coronavirus, the powerful chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions.

Don’t look now, but Eugenie Bouchard wants a boyfriend. Out of action like the rest of the tennis world as the coronavirus outbreak shuts down the globe, Bouchard had a message for her followers on Wednesday. “not complaining, but i feel like quarantine would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend,” Bouchard wrote on Twitter.

On Thursday, the State Department raised its global health advisory to level four, its highest level. The new advisory encourages all U.S. citizens to avoid international travel due to the global spread and impact of the Wuhan coronavirus. U.S. citizens who are currently abroad are encouraged by the State Department to immediately return to the United States, if possible, or prepare to remain abroad for an indefinite period of time. U.S. citizens who live abroad are also encouraged to avoid international travel at this time. "If you chose to travel internationally," the State Department warns, "your travel plans may be...

South Korea, China and Singapore are among the Asian countries facing a second coronavirus wave, fuelled by people importing it from outside. China, where the virus first emerged, confirmed it had no new domestic cases on Wednesday for the first time since the outbreak began, a major milestone. But it reported 34 new cases among people who recently returned to China. Singapore also reported 47 new cases, of which 33 were imported - 30 of them returned Singapore residents. South Korea saw a jump in new cases on Thursday with 152, though it is not clear how many were imported....

A team of researchers unveiled the results of a new study last week that looked at how temperature and humidity may affect the transmission of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus. According to the researchers' findings, “High temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19.”

The School District of Philadelphia will not allow teachers to do “remote instruction” with students while schools are closed during the coronavirus outbreak, according to a letter sent to principals Tuesday night. Because the district cannot ensure equal access to technology among students, it’s barring individual schools from providing graded virtual instruction. “To ensure equity, remote instruction should not be provided to students, including through the internet, technology at home, by phone, or otherwise,” the letter read. On Wednesday afternoon, after backlash and confusion among teachers, Superintendent William Hite clarified the district’s position, saying that teachers cannot require students to...

Victoria's Secret has a new look for 2020 after a string of bad media that caused their annual lingerie show to be canceled and several stores to close in 2019. This new campaign is inclusive with veterans over 50, curvier beauties and a trans star mixed in with some of the A list catwalk queens of the day. And the shoot was photographed by a woman: Nineties supermodel Helena Christensen, 51, who also models for the brand. But as the world struggles to come to grips with the global coronavirus pandemic, the timing of the campaign may do little to...

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, SC (WSPA) – A man is facing charges after falsely claiming to have coronavirus, which led to the shutdown of a company in Spartanburg. A SITEL employee falsely claimed he had COVID-19, causing the company to shut down for 5 days, according to Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright. “Seems to me like the fellow just wanted a two week paid vacation,” Sheriff Chuck Wright said during a press conference Thursday.

jaw-dropping example of Ice Age architecture has been unearthed on Russia’s forest steppe: a huge, circular structure built with the bones of at least 60 woolly mammoths. But exactly why hunter-gatherers enduring the frigid realities of life 25,000 years ago would construct the 40-foot diameter building is a fascinating question. “Clearly a lot of time and effort went into building this structure so it was obviously important to the people that made it for some reason,” says Alexander Pryor, an archaeologist at the University of Exeter (U.K.). He is the lead author of a new study published this week in...

One America News Chief White House Correspondent Chanel Rion asked President Trump how he feels about mainstream media organizations being in lock step with Chinese propaganda efforts accusing him of being racist for calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus." Racism is not the right tool to cover your own incompetence pic.twitter.com/LmGDyPsULt— China Xinhua News (@XHNews) March 17, 2020 Rion led the two-part question by first asking Trump if he considers calling food originating from China as "Chinese food" racist."No, I don't think it's racist. I don't think it's racist at all," Trump replied."On that note, major left-wing news media, even in...

Evangeline Lilly is taking a stand against self-quarantining during the coronavirus pandemic. The “Ant-Man and the Wasp” star, 40, posted a photo of her “morning tea” on Instagram and said it was “business as usual” as she dropped her children off at their activities. “Just dropped my kids off at gymnastics camp. They all washed their hands before going in. They are playing and laughing. #businessasusual,” she captioned the photo, which immediately prompted questions from fans about why her kids were still going to gymnastics camp.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology, together with the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, the American Gynecological & Obstetrical Society, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society of Family Planning, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, released the following statement: “As hospital systems, clinics, and communities prepare to meet anticipated increases in demand for the care of people with COVID-19, strategies to mitigate spread of the virus and to maximize health care resources are evolving. Some health systems, at the...

"Thy kingdom come" (Matt. 6:10). Relinquish your will to Christ’s sovereign rule. Attempting to explain all that is involved in the phrase "Thy kingdom come" is like a child standing on a beach attempting to scoop the entire ocean into a little pail. Only in eternity will we grasp all that it encompasses, but the poem "His Coming to Glory" by the nineteenth-century hymnwriter Frances Havergal captures its essence: Oh the joy to see Thee reigning, Thee, my own beloved Lord! Every tongue Thy name confessing, Worship, honor, glory, blessing Brought to Thee with glad accord; Thee, my Master and...

More than an investigation, the Mueller probe was the wellspring of a political narrative. That becomes clearer as time goes by and more information ekes out . . . such as new confirmation that, months before Mueller was appointed in May 2017, it was already well understood in Justice Department circles that there was no case of criminal “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia. Never was that made more obvious than by the Justice Department’s quiet announcement late Monday, under the five-alarm noise of the coronavirus scare, that it has dropped the special counsel’s indictment of Russian companies —...
