The Islamic world is not suffering from COVID-19 the way non-Muslim nations are, because Islam naturally makes Muslims "cleaner" than infidels. Such is the contention Muslims around the world are triumphantly making. Thus, the recent article, "Coronavirus – an Islamic Perspective," opens up as follows: Allāh has blessed us with a religion that is complete and perfect for all times and places. Allāh tells us in the Qur'ān: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as your religion" We also have in the Prophet (sall Allāhu...

WASHINGTON (SBG) - As the coronavirus spread to all fifty states over the last two months, the Trump administration faced mounting criticism for the lack of reliable, widely accessible test kits. Now, a former senior federal health official nominated to his post by President Trump, alleges that the delays in testing occurred because leaders at the Centers for Disease Control “lied” to the president, and to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, about the center’s ability to produce the kits. CDC has acknowledged that its initial stab at mass production of the test kits encountered “a problem,” and that...

China's economy and move for global domination was in serious retreat due to a booming US economic growth, military rebuild and America first attitude. The forced trade negotiations, tariff's. all under Trump are the absolute worse thing for Chinese goals. If you were to envision the perfect scenario for China, it would be Trump out, our economy in shambles and our people in a state of panic. Democrats, as a party, and within its ranks and its leaders, were in a downward spiral. In house fighting, far left move, power being lost, Trump on his way to defeating them handily...

A new report shows the importance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in protecting Americans and the battle the agency faces. The report from the Office of the Inspector General in the Department of Homeland Security noted that in fiscal year 2019, which ran from October 2018 through September 2019, “ICE arrested 143,100 aliens who were either charged with or convicted of 489,100 various crimes.”

... Bangkok is one of Asia’s most important travel hubs. Before the outbreak, its airport had more scheduled flights from China than any other country, including 45 a week direct from Wuhan, the epicentre of the deadly pandemic. Flights to Bangkok from Wuhan continued until the city began a full lockdown on Jan. 23. And yet epidemiologists have been puzzled by the fact that Thailand has seen so few cases of COVID-19. While it spread at terrifying speed to tens of thousands of people in South Korea, Italy and now most other countries, the number of confirmed cases in Thailand...

“There was a proposal to isolate people coming from the epicenter, coming from China,” Dr. Giorgio Palù told CNN. “Then it became seen as racist, but they were people coming from the outbreak.” *** Those on the outside looking in and who had read reports about the outbreak watched in disbelief as local officials like Florence Mayor Dario Nardella were telling Italians to “hug a Chinese.” It was a patronizing virtue signal to show Italy’s Asian population support, and to prove to the world that Italy wasn’t “racist” after reports of alleged “xenophobic incidents” against Chinese people in Italy as...

White House COVID-19 Briefing.

“The dam has been broken,” author and nationally syndicated radio host Dennis Prager warns. “Maybe it was necessary. But when dams break, flooding follows.” In a Tuesday piece for American Greatness, “Why the Remedy May Be Worse Than the Disease,” Prager issues a dire warning for a country reeling from a self-imposed shutdown. In the scramble to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Americans must be vigilant against the kind of cure some may prescribe. Prager issues a prediction: “If the government can order society to cease functioning, from restaurants and other businesses to schools, due to a possible health disaster,...

Archaeologists discovered in Trnava's Zeleny Kricek settlement hole many decorated ceramics fragments, antler tools and fragments of stone tools older than 6,000 years. ...The discovery is located outside the middle age centre of the town just in front of the town's fortification wall. "Its existence until these days is a matter of lucky circumstances because it was preserved in the narrow area between the wall and filled town ditch," said Peter Grznar of the Regional Monument Board in Trnava, as quoted by the TASR newswire. The finding dates back to the Neolithic Age, more specifically to the era of the...

“Even if the statements at issue — published by third parties named in Page’s first failed lawsuit — could be attributed to Defendants, those statements were substantially true, and thus cannot be defamatory as a matter of law,” the DNC’s attorneys asserted.

Could the old generic malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil, Sanofi-Aventis, among others), which is also used for the treatment of rheumatic disease, be an essential treatment for COVID-19? This hypothesis, put forward by some, including Professor Didier Raoult of the IHU Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, was dismissed by other eminent infectious disease specialists and dismissed as fake news recently by the Ministry of Health. Yet it resurfaced yesterday with the presentation on YouTube by Prof Raoult of positive results in a non-randomised, unblinded trial of 24 patients. This follows encouraging in vitro results obtained by a Chinese team led by Xueting...

“There’s something happenin’ here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.” – Not trying to raise alarm here, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that there may be some larger agenda taking place in our society behind the scenes that has not yet risen to the surface. The government’s response to the China Virus, so oversized when compared to its responses to H1N1 and other previous virial plagues, indicates that either we are not being told the entire truth about this current virus, or that something else is driving this train. The manner in which the national media worked in overdrive...

President Donald Trump joked at Thursday’s coronavirus briefing about getting rid of all the reporters he does not like, causing a least one member of the media to characterize the quip as an “attack.” During the briefing, a reporter asked the president if he had “any guidance for Congress” after two congressmen announced they had tested positive for the virus. Trump instead directed his advice, partially tongue-in-cheek, to the reporters in the briefing room.

This is the face of evil. Make no mistake. Led by idiot politicians, the press continues to extol the virtues of of his and China’s response to the Chinese Wuhan virus outbreak. Hillary Clinton is now  the chief lobbyist for the Chinese Communist Party. Chinese collusion! “China stepped up to lead coronavirus response” says one politician. World leaders praise China’s efforts in fighting coronavirusLeaders and officials from various countries have praised China’s efforts in the fight against the novel coronavirus, a health epidemic in the country that has claimed over 560 lives. They have spoken highly of China’s quick response to...

"It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”

Police say a disabled Texas woman shot and killed an intruder and fended off another during an attempted home invasion at her Houston apartment this past week. Citing investigators, KHOU reported that on March 14, two teens attempted to enter the woman’s northwest Houston apartment through a patio door during a brazen, daylight home invasion. After shattering the woman’s glass patio door, one of the would-be intruders then reached inside and attempted to unlock a door, police said. That is when the resident reportedly fired one shot with her firearm — hitting one of the teens. The outlet did not...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but,...

I think it is fair to say that ChiCom Flu data have been gathered for a long enough time to do some statistical analysis. However, I cannot vouch for the validity of data, e.g., China's or Iran's data. But I will run the mortality percentages for some nations and you can draw conclusions on what ever you like. Tell me if the sky is still blue and white if you see that in the data. I am not drawing my own conclusions here. This is just something to think about. 1. China: 4.01% 2. Italy: 8.57% 3. Spain: 5.34% 4....
