"Come on man!" Get out of your basement, Joe, and get the facts on Arizona:
-Percent positivity between 9-11% for the first time since May
-The lowest R Naught in the nation at .86
-380+ testing sites, and growing
-And we're providing care and comfort to those who need it.

President Trump called Arizona “a model for applying a science-based approach to the decreasing cases and hospitalizations without implementing a punishing lockdown.” He said Governor Ducey’s approach should be used by other states—but here’s what’s really happening in Arizona:
This is the horror that Democrats have enabled...
Straight up awesome!
DOJ Policy is to indict cases when they are ready -- politics should not be a consideration in indicting or waiting.

The sudden U-turn from Cuomo and Schumer on school openings suggests the months-long Democrat position of banning children from going to school was a political disaster for them.

It's probably time to start asking if the NBA's subservience to China isn't just about money. //
Stan Van Gundy

We committed genocide against Native Americans. We have enslaved, lynched, segregated and incarcerated blacks over 400 years. Women couldn’t vote for 140 years. Using abuses elsewhere to try to distract from our own poor record on human rights is dishonest. //
“we” didn’t do any of that stuff. People who are dead did that stuff within the context of their time. That doesn’t excuse past behavior in any moral sense, but there are nuances to different periods in history and it doesn’t work to try to blame current generations for something that happened in 1820. You or I are not guilty for those specific things. It’s a lazy, damaging way to look at the world.
Regardless, it’s hard to describe just how disgusting this tweet from Van Gundy is. Imagine someone from Britain in 1945 arguing that the extermination of Jews happening at that moment is just a distraction from the real issue of the Crusade in 1189. That’s the kind of gross, idiotic logic being applied here.
