Pelosi and Gang Make Major Move to Snooker America

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 3 Comments
You have surely heard the rumors that some Dems have taken advantage of their ‘vacation’ to get face work done. Watching Nancy yesterday should confirm for you that she must have been one of them.

I know you are saying, so what else is new, but this latest gambit by the Dems to include amnesty for illegal aliens (not to mention payments to them!) due to the Chinese virus is a bridge too far.

Fortunately Tucker took her on in a ten minute segment at Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Normally I don’t write about topics that are widely covered by all sorts of media, but this is just too much.

And, our Open Borders agitators are not alone as Gatestone reported here yesterday in a detailed discussion of what is happening in Europe where the socialists are not letting a crisis go to waste and are looking to legalize the illegals too.

“Coronavirus: Lockdown for Europeans, Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants”

Read Gatestone and then see Tucker (let me know if this youtube video disappears as happens often these days).

Michigan Doc Doing 45 Years Wants Out of Prison Due to COVID Fears

Farid Fata, 55

Lebanese doctor Farid Fata wants a “compassionate” release from prison because his health is so poor, he says, he might catch the Chinese virus and die in the slammer.  With a 45 year sentence that is likely anyway, COVID or no COVID.

I mentioned Fata last September in a list of Michigan docs involved in pushing opiods, but he was given that long sentence because his crimes were much worse. Even worse than bilking Medicare.

From the Macomb Daily:

Farid Fata seeks ‘compassionate’ release due to potential for contracting coronavirus

Former cancer doctor Farid Fata, imprisoned for illicit treatment of patients, is seeking release from his 45-year term due to “deteriorating health” and the likelihood he will contract COVID-19.

Fata, 55, of Oakland Township, claims he suffers from several medical issues and is susceptible to contracting and dying from the coronavirus, which has spread through the federal prison system,according to document filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

“With Fata’s medical conditions and age, contracting COVID-19 could very well prove fatal,” his attorney, Jeremy Gordon, says in a 13-page legal brief accompanied by exhibits submitted to Judge Paul Borman.

[….]

Gordon notes there have been at least 40 deaths of inmates in federal prisons nationwide due to the coronavirus pandemic, and nearly 2,000 inmates and 356 Bureau of Prisons staff have tested positive for the virus.

He says several inmates have been granted “compassionate release” due to the coronavirus, including many in the past week alone.

Fata’s request prompted a disgusted response from attorney Brian McKeen, who represented dozens of victims in a malpractice lawsuit against Fata.

 

“What a joke,” McKeen said. “The man got what he deserved. He had no compassion for the lives of his patients. He caused unspeakable suffering and pain, and deserves to be where he is for the rest of his life. People went through living hell because of Dr. Fata.”

[….]

He made millions of dollars providing 2,770 unnecessary chemotherapy treatments to 100 patients; in all, there were more than 550 victims from throughout Southeast Michigan. Advocates for some deceased patients say Fata was responsible for their demise, and many patients suffered various ailments due to unnecessary treatment, such as organ damage, lost teeth, nerve damage and lost bone in sinus cavities.

Fata was ordered to pay $26.5 million in restitution to individuals, health insurance companies and federal agencies.

Lockdown Sceptics, a Website Worth Adding to Your Daily Reading List

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

Surely you have seen the news about the British professor Neil Ferguson who is the supposed brains behind the COVID-19 modeling that is now responsible for crashing (or near crashing) economies worldwide.

Stay sane. Protect the economy. Save livelihoods.

Thanks to reader Judy for sending me a story from this week about the coding model (now under scrutiny) used to justify the lockdown of the UK (and most of the world!) published at a new website entitled, Lockdown Sceptics, where there are posts almost daily critical of what the great minds have been telling us must be done to save us from certain death.

Author, Brit Toby Young, describes why he launched this website a month ago:

On Friday, April 3rd I wrote an article for the Telegraph about the tsunami of criticism I’d received after publishing a sceptical piece earlier that week about the Government’s lockdown strategy. That piece appeared in the Critic and shortly after it was published I started trending on Twitter, with thousands of people denouncing me, often using intemperate language. In the Telegraph article I expressed my disappointment about this reaction and said people shouldn’t feel shy about criticising the lockdown even if those views put them at odds with the majority. Our leaders are making decisions every day that will affect all our lives for years to come and it’s right that we should debate their options in the public square.

In the days that followed the publication of the Telegraph article I was contacted by dozens of people, most of whom shared my reservations and were frustrated that the Government’s decision to lock down the country wasn’t being adequately challenged. Some had tried to get their views published in newspapers, either as letters or articles, but without success. That’s why I’ve decided to set up this website. The idea is for it to serve as a hub for sceptical articles, papers and interviews that have appeared elsewhere, as well as a platform for lockdown sceptics to air their views in the form of comments.

Here is Lockdown Sceptics view of the titillating news you may have seen about the good professor.

Story and headline from The Sun. In the right hand column are titles of recent posts at Lockdown Sceptics.

 

Be sure to have a look at the post critical of Ferguson’s (flawed!) code responsible for our present miserable home detention.

Of course, I can’t vouch for every word posted by Young (someone is surely going to tell me he is this, or he is that), or anyone, but the point is that we are all entitled to hear all points of view on truly the momentous point (so far) in world history that any of us alive today will likely experience.

Do Not Miss Leo Hohmann Today!

Leo has been away working elsewhere in recent months, but he is back now and focusing his journalistic skills and analytic mind on the COVID ‘crisis’ that has brought our beloved country to its knees.

Today he highlights the media bias (and downright fakery) that is allowing the goals of the cultural Marxists to advance in weeks in a war that has been going on for a century.

Here is the photo with which he opens his post, but that is only the first of several stunning revelations (you have been hearing about some of them, but they are all in one place here).

The staff was asked to come out and line up their cars for a staged photo!

WTH! Your Tax Dollars Paid for Bat Research at Wuhan Lab!

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 1 Comment

And, the ‘good doctor’ Fauci was involved during the Obama Administration!

Why isn’t this front page news everywhere?  Why does it take the Asia Times, Gateway Pundit, Powerline blog, and other smaller media to get this story out.

Thanks to reader Paul for alerting me to a Powerline blog post yesterday where blogger extraordinaire John Hinderaker wraps with this paragraph:

  Wouldn’t it be great if we had a free press that might ask questions about reports like this one? The problem, of course, is that Dr. Fauci would be the guy on the hot seat, and he is a revered “expert” in the press’s narrative. Even more important, Fauci’s enlistment of the Wuhan lab to do research banned in the U.S. happened in 2015–that is to say, during the Obama administration. If it had occurred during the Trump administration, there would be nothing else on the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post.
