As nothing turned up, millions claim a coverup by the GOP. I don't know.
By comparison after decades of turmoils have passed in the LC, many still believe the quarantined brothers conspired to take over the recovery though there was nothing of substance.

As this relates to the current political climate, no proof is needed to declare Trump as guilty.

Great points! And exactly my point. When the flow of information is controlled by those in power to coverup criminal activity, and what is released thru the governing media to the willing masses is deception, then all these media sources must be viewed as nothing more than propaganda.

Read about the reaction in the Chinese media over the Corona Virus outbreak. The initial Wuhan whistle blowers, one of which who just died, was publicly shamed and forced to issue a public retraction. The reaction on social media in China matches today's political TwitterVerse and LSM's public relations arm -- attacking and shaming those who speak or think differently from the officially sanctioned version of events, regardless of whether they speak the truth or have the best interests of their peers in view.

Both the Recovery, the Democratic apparatus, and the Communist Party have one prevailing theme: We are the best, and all others are evil. They are not just wrong, with bad ideas, or misinformed, no. They are evil, akin to Hitler or John Ingalls or your worst imaginable nightmare! How dare anyone express a differing opinion! You must be silenced! You will be disciplined and quarantined!

As we recently learned, "We must sent these conservatives to reeducation camps," -- paraphrased from Bernie Sanders field worker caught by Project Veritas undercover.

Sounds a little like the kind of propaganda that adds demeaning nicknames for everyone that disagrees with Trump. (In other words, you forgot the Republican apparatus.) The group that declares non-conservatives to have mental disorders (and they gave a medal to the guy who coined that phrase). Or declares them to be a "waste of skin." Or "animals" from "s**thole countries."

Somehow those kinds of statements don't reflect our command to love our neighbor. Not saying all Republicans have to act like Christians. But those of us who are Christian should.

Truth is that there is no difference in terms of rhetoric concerning the "others." Second verse, same as the first. Meet the new boss — same as the old boss. Once we get grips on this, we can admit all of our faults and start to see that no one has a lock on the right way to go and no one is simply wrong because they are not "us." Right now, the guns are all out and no one is blinking.

Yes, Bernie is a nut. Reminds me of Doc from Back to the Future. "Great Scott!!" But Socialism is not the same as Communism. Yeah, some of those "Democratic Socialists" are pretty rabid. But they are not the majority — even of the Democratic party. So don't get your panties in a wad about them. And everything to the left of the far-right is not "liberal" or socialist.

Interesting study which confirms everything I have said about recent anti-God bias on the Left.

Pew Survey: The Democrat Party Has a Serious God Problem

"Americans do not consider the leading contenders for the Democrat presidential nomination to be very religious, reveals a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

This most recent Pew report underscores the Democrats’ continuing “God problem,” a phenomenon that seems to be growing more acute with the years.

Last fall, Pew revealed that more than twice as many Americans view the Democrat Party as “unfriendly” toward religion than the Republican Party, while fewer than one in five U.S. adults said the Democrats are “friendly” toward religion.

Last year, Professor Peter Beinart of the City University of New York, a liberal political commentator, noted with concern that white Democrats are invoking God far less than their predecessors and tend to refer to religious faith negatively rather than positively.

Democrats’ reluctance to mention God reflects a new demographic reality in the party, Beinart suggested. Since more and more white Democrats claim no religious affiliation, God talk is no longer met with approval.

In his analysis of the 2016 election results, the former director of Barack Obama’s faith-outreach efforts, Michael Wear, said that the Democrats have become tone-deaf toward religion, which explained why people of faith voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.

Wear argued that the Democrats’ alienation of believers was tied to the party’s close partnership with the abortion industry.

“Reaching out to evangelicals doesn’t mean you have to become pro-life,” Wear said. “It just means you have to not be so in love with how pro-choice you are, and so opposed to how pro-life we are.”

“The Democratic Party used to welcome people who didn’t support abortion into the party. We are now so far from that, it’s insane,” he added."

This was telling! Here's a direct link to Pew research on the subject. Pew: Belief in God - Religion in America (Have to go at least 3/4 of the way down to find the ones pertaining to political affiliation.)

The Lord is with you regardless . . . So where did the word "Easter" come from?

St. Bede did the first etymological study on the word.

Have you ensured that they have invited at least one person that has just flown in from Wuhan so they can tell us how evil the Chinese regime is? That would be the event to attend!
