Your Monday Coronavirus Fake News! Friday, President Trump announced that he had teamed with a number of top corporations to help fight the coronavirus, one of them being Google, which was working on a national website to help disseminate the latest information. Leftwing “news” sources quickly claimed that Google was taken by surprise by the announcement and had no such intentions, and Trump is a LYING LIAR who LIES!!!
The next day, Google announced its plans for creating a national website to disseminate the latest coronavirus information. Let’s all pray that there will also be a vaccine soon for Trump Derangement Syndrome.

A new poll found that in the midst of the coronavirus scare, 60% of Democrats now favor a “Medicare for All” health care system. You know, like they have in Italy, as even Joe Biden pointed out to Bernie Sanders in last night’s debate. Somehow, Bernie believes that having the government take over health care, add tens of millions of Americans (plus all illegal immigrants) to it, and pay less for medical services than many providers need to break even will result in better care and more doctors. Then again, he also thinks you can separate socialism from authoritarianism.
Here’s an explanation from a physician and former Senator of how Medicare works and what it would do to your health care (and your pocketbook) if it were expanded to everyone in America.

Coronavirus News You Can Actually Use!
A couple of reminders to help others during forced shutdowns: restaurant workers survive on tips, so if you have to pick up food to-go instead of dining in, please leave a tip if you can. Also, if you had tickets to a play or concert that had to be canceled, and you can afford it, consider donating your ticket cost or taking a rain check for a future show instead of demanding a refund. It might help keep a struggling community theater or music venue from going out of business.
Since many of you may be forced to work at home via the Internet for a while, here are some tips on how to do that efficiently and without going crazy:

(“Huckabee” writers Pat Reeder and Laura Ainsworth are a husband-and-wife team who have worked out of home offices for years, and they assure you that while it takes self-discipline, not only can it be done, but once you do it, you may never want to fight traffic and go back to a cubicle again. And if you crave entertainment, distraction and social interaction, they suggest you do what they’ve done: go to your local shelter and adopt a parrot or cockatoo that needs a home – or 13 of them.)

One of the best ways to avoid catching or spreading the coronavirus is to wash your hands frequently (much better than hand sanitizer.) But you should scrub your hands for a full 20 seconds to make it effective. If you get bored with counting to 20 or singing “Happy Birthday to You” twice through, journalist Jen Monnier has compiled a list of songs, from Beyonce to Toto to Fleetwood Mac, whose choruses run 20 seconds.

I can’t believe I actually need to share this tip, but if you are traveling via airline, do NOT joke about having the coronavirus!

Finally, thanks to Laura Ainsworth’s Facebook friend, Ginger Pauley, host of the great Amazon Prime series “Vintage America with Ginger,” for sharing this link for shut-ins. It’s recipes for turning 15 boring freezer staples, from Tater Tots to fish sticks, into attractive and delicious gourmet meals.

Remember the factory worker who was cursed out by Joe Biden for daring to question his gun-grabbing policies? Well, the NRA gave him a platform for responding. Knowing my readers, I think you’ll enjoy it. (Warning: Contains Biden-level profanity!)

While the media were preoccupied with, ahem, “other things” (like blaming President Trump for a Chinese virus, then calling him a racist for saying it was Chinese), he hasn’t just been busy dealing with the virus. You might not have heard about this, but last week, the DEA and DOJ announced that over 600 arrests had been made as part of Project Python, the initiative Trump launched to target CJNG, the notorious Mexican drug cartel.
A reminder: these are some of the people that Biden and Sanders would grant citizenship to, and not deport them simply for felonies they’d committed in Mexico.

Huck’s Criminal Mastermind, Liberal Government Division: Former San Francisco Building Commission President Rodrigo Santos is being sued for allegedly cashing checks made out to the Department of Building Inspection (DBI.) He is accused of taking checks made out to “DBI” and changing them by hand to read, “RoDBIgo Santos,” and cashing them. This sounds too stupid to work, but he allegedly got away with it 200 times to the tune of $420,000.

I knew San Francisco had a lot of problems, and I suspected crooked public officials were one of them, but I didn’t know they were also cursed with bank tellers that dumb.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez claims that it’s hypocritical to attend both church and Trump rallies, and that if people of faith support Trump, then “I don’t know what faith they are worshiping.”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/dnc-chairman-i-dont-know-what-faith-trump-supporters-follow
As someone with a degree in theology, let me see if I can explain it to him in simple terms. We’re worshiping the faith that is opposed to murdering babies up until 15 minutes after they’re born.

Just for a change, how about some news from China that has nothing to do with viruses? A man was caught on video driving his car off a bridge and into a river 10 minutes after passing his driver’s test. He was distracted because he was reading text messages congratulating him on passing his driver’s test.
https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/03/man-drives-dock-canal-10-minutes-passing-driving-test-12341994/
I hear that after being fished out of the river, he texted the DMV, “No takebacks!”
