More from the NY Post:

A man wearing a medical face mask was caught on camera sucker-punching an NYPD officer in the Bronx Tuesday night as the cop’s partner was subduing a robbery suspect.

Nelson Jimenez, 31, launched his attack in front of a crowd of bystanders who had gathered on a sidewalk near 183rd Street and Davidson Avenue in University Heights to watch the arrest of 27-year-old robbery suspect Yoemdy Castro, law enforcement sources said.

Yes, the Cop Punching Cheering Section should be allowed to take care of themselves and deal with the criminals till this virus thing is over.  Why should NYPD officers should risk life. lungs and limb for the assholes of their city who wants them dead?

Go back to your precincts and  tell 911 that the force is on vacation till sometime June.  And as a bonus, give them the direct phone number of Mayor DeBlasio so they can lodge the complaints with him.

J. Kb. sent me this one from The Texas Tribune.

More than two dozen Texas City nursing home residents who have tested positive for the new coronavirus are being treated with hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug that President Donald Trump has touted as a possible treatment for COVID-19, even as medical experts urge caution because it has yet to be vetted for that purpose through robust clinical trials.

So far, accurate.

The doctor who prescribed it to 27 residents of The Resort at Texas City was Robin Armstrong, the nursing home’s medical director and a prominent GOP activist who serves as a surrogate for the Trump campaign. The drug’s efficacy is being tested at the nursing home, where more than 80 residents and workers have tested positive for the new coronavirus, as its role in treating COVID-19 patients is debated across the country.

Here is where we starting to see a bit of word play. Mentioning that the doctor is a “GOP activist”  and “surrogate”  tries to give the image of negativity and doing it for the wrong political reasons rather than for medical reasons.

The federal government has approved it on an emergency basis in some COVID-19 cases, though medical experts — including some inside the Trump administration — have been far less willing to embrace its widespread use.

IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS! EXPERTS SAY SO! WHY IS TRUMP DOCTOR PLAYING WITH THE LIFE OF GRANDMA?

Armstrong, who said his politics have nothing to do with his practice as a physician, acknowledged that there has not been robust clinical testing of the drug for this purpose but said he is very familiar with the medication and the risks and benefits it carries. The disease’s mortality rate is higher among elderly coronavirus patients, he said, so he wanted to try something proactive to help them heal — to “treat folks like I would my mom,” he said in an interview Monday evening.

“He said? Ha! We don’t believe him, you know he is lying!”  I man, experts have been warning us. What experts? Well, they do appear a lot in certain News Channels and shows, so they must really know their shit, right?

“It’s a vulnerable population — it’s certainly a judgment call,” he said. “It’s responsible if you monitor them properly, and that’s certainly what we’re doing.”
Many of the patients began the five-day course of treatment Saturday, and all are still at the nursing home.

Wait, what? They have been in treatment for 2 full days when this hit piece was published and they did not die? But we were told the treatment was deadly! We are talking almost Ziklon B stuff.

Next, they finally remmeber to add this bit of GOP information about the doctor”

Armstrong, who serves on the advisory board of the Black Voices for Trump coalition, is one of Texas’ two Republican National Committee members.

Oh yes, the good doctor happens to be black, one of those evil traitors who are not living happily in the Democratic Plantation.

The article has no photos of the doctor, but I found this one over the Houston Chronicle.

I did a bit more digging on The Resort at Texas City, the facility where Dr. Armstrong works and I found this sad story.

TEXAS CITY, Texas — (NOTE: the video attached to this article is from Friday, April 3, 2020, before Smith passed away.)
Sam Quinn rushed to see his mother Friday morning after staff at the Resort at Texas City had called Sam’s sister to inform her that she appeared to be dying.
Quinn said he wore a face mask in the facility and spent five hours with his mother, 87-year-old Peggy Smith, not knowing about that the outbreak of COVID-19 patients in the nursing home had reached 83 people, both residents and employees.
When Quinn eventually left, an employee ran after him to tell him that she had tested positive. He learned the news in the parking lot.
Quinn said his mother, who had Alzheimer’s disease, died on Saturday morning. He was concerned there might already be COVID-19 at the home.

Son of Galveston County’s first COVID-19 death speaks of his last visit with her at Texas City nursing home

The article goes on to say the facility may have been infected by a part time worker also laboring in other places and may have brought the virus in.  I am not saying the death of Peggy Smith made Dr. Armstrong decided to start  treating other infected residents the same day as the death, but I would not be surprised if it did. And I also predict we won’t hear anymore about this location of the good doctor if no more people die.

If you think about it, there is one more sad and sick reason Democrats are opposing anything that would save the lives of infected patients. The most likely target for death is over 65, with previous serious medical conditions, right? Corona virus is Nature’s own Death Panel. Obamacare writ pandemic.

Regular readers of this blog know that Miguel and I have been documenting the cities that have used the Coronavirus as an excuse to reduce arrests and let criminals out of jail.

In each instance, the news has been clear that this only applies to non-violent offenders.  The problem is that even a non-violent offense is still an offense and innocent people are hurt by them.

The New York Post now has data on the effect of this reduced policing of non-violent offenders during the Coronacrisis.

Commercial burglaries soar since coronavirus emergency measures

Who could have guessed that?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense, actually.

Commercial burglaries in New York City have risen 75 percent amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to data from the NYPD.

Police said 254 businesses have been targeted between March 12, the day a state of emergency order was issued by Mayor Bill de Blasio, and March 31.

This is up from the 145 burglaries recorded for the same time period last year, NYPD officials said.

“What we are seeing is that criminals are specifically targeting cash businesses, supermarkets and bodegas,” said NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael LiPetri.

So much for protecting the working class and small business owners in New York City.  They are being preyed upon at an alarming rate.

The empty streets, curfews, lockdown, and lack of police have made it much easier for criminals to break into businesses and get away with it.

“The opportunities are in a different place. There’s a lot less happening during the day, for example a lot less trucks are getting robbed. The burglaries we are seeing now are more organized and specifically targeted. There’s much more night-time entry, more forced entry, individuals breaking locks to get into businesses while they are closed,” LiPetri said.

Forced entry into a store to steal all of the cash inside maybe technically be “non-violent” because someone wasn’t physically hurt, but it’s not a victimless crime, which is how bail reform advocates seem to portray it.

The next question is: how long until these non-violent crimes turn violent?

Such as if the owner of a bodega decides to spend the night in his store to keep it from being robbed, and the criminals who break in decide to hurt or kill him for his trouble.  We already saw something like that occur with disastrous results in Virginia.

This is only going to get worse given the circumstances.

We now have hard data to show how bad of a policy this lack of criminal enforcement is, I wonder if the politicians that pushed it will ever be held to account.

From the YouTube:

You can tell they don’t imagine that it’s a million New Yorkers dying to oust Trump.

They are clearly picturing a million nameless people in Trump flyover country dying.

That one crazy old woman with the mask said what we all know to be true about the hard Left.  There is no human cost they will not spent, no limit to the numbers of people killed in order for them to achieve their political goals.

If what it takes for them to win the next election is a million or ten million Americans dead, that’s just the cost of doing business.

I love to read about history.  Every time I read a book about the history of naval warfare or explorers on the high seas, I read about the horrors of hardtack.

There are many reasons that being a sailor during the golden age of sail was perhaps the roughest job in the world, but hardtack has nothing to do with it.  Not if you’re Jewish at least.

Sailor: “The worst part of being a sailor is your ration of hardtack.  It’s terrible.  It’s tasteless and dry.”

Jew: “So… Matzoh.”

Sailor: “You just don’t get it, it’s made with nothing but flour, water, and salt.”

Jew: “Yeah, Matzoh.”

Sailor: “No, they don’t let it rise.  They bake it hard.”

Jew: “Yeah, we call that Matzoh.”

Sailor: “No, they do it that way so that it will survive for weeks and months on a hard voyage.”

Jew: “Like when my people wandered in the desert for 40 years eating Matzoh?”

Sailor: “You don’t understand, for days on end our diet consists of water and hardtack.”

Jew: “Yeah, that’s called ‘Passover.'”

The latest freak apparently in our country is the way deaths by Beer Virus are counted: If you have the bug and die of something else, it is counted as death by Wuhan.  I really do not see the problem with that unless you were stabbed 15 times and dies of the wounds while having been infected by the virus. But if you die of pneumonia or some heart problem exacerbated by the virus, then it is the virus the cause of death.  A dagger to the heart will cause cardiac failure, but you do not reclassify a homicide as natural causes, right?  So no, I do not believe they are inflating the numbers.

Now, if you want to see some real creative statistical games, I will refer you again to Ecuador.  These are the latest official number of deaths by the virus.

And this was yesterday’s:

If you read the blog yesterday, you saw the bodies all over Guayaquil’s streets and inside homes. You saw the video of people burning the decomposing bodies and stacks of bodies behind hospitals and inside containers. In fact we know their own government officials acknowledge all the bodies.

In fact they have announced the development of cemeteries to bury the estimated 12,000 victims.

So how can the government say they only have 220 deaths by the virus? Simple, none of the bodies collected outside hospitals had an official autopsy made, right? They can “truthfully” say they do not have an official cause of death and due to the circumstances and knowing the helath issue of bodies decomposing, it was necessary to bury the bodies and we may never know the true cause of death. Got it?

Add to that those who died by pneumonia or some heart problem  that was exacerbated by the virus, will be recorded as dying by pneumonia or heart problem.  Thus we vindicate the awesomeness of our Single Pay Health Care System and Socialism is once again proven to be superior to the heartless Capitalism.

Yes, it is an assumption, but I know the Latin mind and specially when infected by the Red Menace.  More than even money that is what they are doing in Ecuador and other countries.

This made my morning:

BREAKING: President Trump says he is putting a hold on funding to the @WHO pic.twitter.com/GqjI4lqfqU

— ALX ?? (@alx) April 7, 2020

The WHO has been doing nothing but providing coverage for the Chinese Communist government.

I will post this from the WHO again as a reminder:

That was a lie.  We know it now to have been a lie.  Still, the WHO published it because communist tyrants love communist tyrants.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom once appointed mass-murdering communist Robert Mugabe as a “Good Will Ambassador ” for the WHO in Africa.

This is the same WHO that had refused to acknowledge Taiwan because of pressure from China, even to the detriment of the world as Taiwan was effective in severely restricting the spread of Coronavirus while it has exploded in China.

The WHO is just as incompetent and corrupt as the rest of the UN and has long outlived its usefulness.

I’m glad to see Trump withholding funding from them and I hope next comes a total defunding of the UN.  The UN just made China a member of the human rights council, despite everything we’ve just seen come out of China regarding how many human rights they violated trying to cover up the Coronavirus.

It’s time that a US President stood up to that wretched hive of scum and villainy.
