Trump And Republican Death Cult Governors Are Following Japan's Lead In Opening Up Business Way Too Early
Shinzo Abe's right wing government opened up for business too fast-- just as Trump is planning to do-- and bullying easily-bullied governors into doing. What's happening in Japan is what's going to happen in, for example, Florida and Texas-- both of which are eager to open up again. COVID-19 infections have been spiking in Florida like mad. Joel Franco of WSVN has been tracking the progression of the pandemic in Florida since it began. Friday he announced the biggest single day jump. Mind you, as of this writing, the curve in Florida and Texas is steepening, not flattening. In Flo... more »

Are Elected County Sheriffs America’s Last Hope to Fight Medical Tyranny? Some Sheriffs Refusing to Enforce Stay at Home Orders, Siding with Constitutional Rights
