Insanity: Wash. State Came One Vote Away From Releasing Green River Serial Killer So He Wouldn't Get Wuhan Virus pjmedia.com/trending/insan… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
While innocents are locked in their homes hiding from "the invisible enemy," as President Trump calls it, county sheriffs, prison overseers, and governors have been busy freeing convicted criminals to stop them from getting the coronavirus.
The rogue's gallery of convicts is a justice reformer's dream. @LACoSheriff Alex Villanueva bragged he let prisoners out of his jail before he was even asked by the ACLU and other groups – this while he shut down gun stores so people could not buy guns to protect themselves.

Another footnote reveals that Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, was penetrated and targeted by Russian intelligence. The declassified footnotes were revealed by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Wednesday.
.@JoeBiden Now Says the China Travel Ban He Opposed Should Have Happened Sooner pjmedia.com/trending/biden… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
Last week, Joe Biden flip-flopped on President Trump's travel ban with China, coming out in support of it after calling it "hysterical xenophobia" for two months.
Now, he's trying to blame Trump for not implementing the ban sooner.
Now, he's trying to blame Trump for not implementing the ban sooner.
“Well, you know, 45 nations had already moved to keep — block China’s personnel from being able to come to the United States before the president moved," Biden claimed. "So, it’s just — it’s about pace... And I don’t think there’s been enough of it, urgency."

Tavia Galonski, a Democrat from the Great State of Ohio, announced she would formally accuse Trump of "crimes against humanity" at the United Nations International Court of Justice at The Hague.
Trump's alleged "crime against humanity"? Offering hope about the controversial malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which some say helps cure COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
What The Media Isn't Telling You About The United States' Coronavirus Case Numbers pjmedia.com/trending/what-… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
The media has made a big fuss over the fact that more than 81,321 Americans have been infected with the coronavirus, which is "more cases than China, Italy or any other country has seen."
According to their report, the United States, following "a series of missteps" is now "the epicenter of the pandemic."

The director of Ohio's Department of Health, @DrAmyActon, Who Claimed 100,000 Covid-19 Cases in the State Says She Was 'Guesstimating' pjmedia.com/trending/ohio-… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
The director of Ohio's Department of Health said Friday her statement the previous day that 100,000 people in the state currently have coronavirus was based on "guesstimating," casting doubt on the high number.
"I am not saying there are absolutely for certain 100,000 people, I'm saying I'm guesstimating," the director, Dr. Amy Acton, said at a news conference.
The Real Reason Why 40 Republicans Voted Against the Second Coronavirus Bill pjmedia.com/trending/the-r… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
"Should the bill pass, businesses would be federally required to provide seven days of paid sick leave—with or without a pandemic.
This provision has little relevance to addressing coronavirus and much more to do with leveraging the crisis to prop up policies popular within the Democratic Party," @billybinion says. "That couldn't be more clear in the legislation's stalking component.”
The Jihad Murder in Florida You Heard Nothing About pjmedia.com/trending/the-j… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
A 17-year-old, Corey Johnson, murdered a 13-year-old, Jovanni Alexander Sierra, and stabbed two others in Florida in 2018.

Why Obama May Be Terrified by Trump Commuting Blagojevich's Sentence pjmedia.com/trending/shoul… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
When the Senate-seat-for-sale scandal broke, Obama denied having any contact with the governor about his Senate seat, and his transition team conducted an internal investigation, which obviously cleared him--because what other conclusion would the Obama transition team come to?
However, the criminal complaint and sworn testimony during Blagojevich’s trial contradicted Obama’s statements, as did media reports. Obama advisor @davidaxelrod also revealed that Obama spoke directly w/Blagojevich about the Senate seat--though later claimed he misspoke.

BACKFIRE: 'I Will Never Vote Democrat Again,' Say Angry Dems on C-SPAN After @HouseDemocrats’ and @SoeakerPelosi's Tantrums pjmedia.com/trending/backf… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
"I'm a Democrat, but I no longer will vote Democrat," said one. "I think it's outrageous that they sat there when all these good things are happening to our country and how much we love our country.. they looked like they hated our country...and I will never vote Democrat again."
One man said: “Let me put it this way, I've been a Democrat for 70-some years and what I saw tonight was appalling to me...it was very disrespectful to this president and I didn't vote for him...but that man is the president and we should respect him."
Neil Gorsuch Issues Savage Rebuke to Activist Judges and Nationwide Injunctions pjmedia.com/trending/neil-… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com The Supreme Court allowed the public charge rule to go into effect, striking down a nationwide injunction from a New York judge. The rule allows the government to deny green cards to immigrants who receive public assistance and are therefore considered a "public charge."
@PJMedia_com In addition to the 5-4 decision allowing the rule to go into effect, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a concurring opinion rebuking activist judges and their rush to apply "nationwide injunctions" against Trump administration policies.
Thank you Justice Gorsuch. This rebuke is long past due.

Barack Obama Violated the War Powers Act, Not Trump pjmedia.com/trending/barac… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com Obama's war in Libya wasn't in response to any attack or threat, and Obama actually argued the War Powers Act didn't apply because “U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve U.S. ground troops.”
@PJMedia_com Bruce Ackerman, a professor of law and political science at Yale, argued in an op-ed in the New York Times on June 20, 2011, that Obama had indeed violated the War Powers Act, and was engaging in an illegal war.
Meet the Other Major Terrorist Killed in Soleimani Drone Strike pjmedia.com/trending/the-o… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com In some ways, killing al-Muhandis was more significant than the death of Soleimani. He's been an active terrorist against the U.S. since the occupation of Iraq and helped create the umbrella Shia militia group Hashd al-Shaabi.
@PJMedia_com "Muhandis was demonstrative of how Iran built its network of proxies in Iraq," said Phillip Smyth, a US-based researcher focused on Shia armed groups, as cited by AFP news agency.
Report: Obama Administration Stopped Israel From Assassinating Soleimani in 2015 pjmedia.com/trending/obama… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com According to a report from 2018, Israel was "on the verge" of assassinating Soleimani in 2015, but Obama's officials foiled the plan. In fact, they reached out to Iran with news of Israel's plans.
@PJMedia_com Killing Soleimani is a powerful response to the embassy attack, an attack that arguably constituted an act of war.
According to the Pentagon, "General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.

@PJMedia_com On Wednesday, the Ayatollah Khamenei even taunted Trump about this, tweeting: “You can’t do anything.” He probably felt secure in the knowledge that the State Department is still full of “experts” of the Rhodes/Magsamen type, who would warn Trump that he must not act
@PJMedia_com The next day, Khamenei found out otherwise. So did the State wonks with Ben Rhodes’ picture on the walls of their cubicles. The mullahs have now been put on notice.

McConnell Rips Apart Democrats' 'Partisan Crusade' on the Floor of the Senate pjmedia.com/trending/mccon… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com "House Democrats want to create new rules for this president because they feel uniquely enraged," he argued. "This is by far the thinnest basis for any House-passed presidential impeachment in American history."
@PJMedia_com McConnell noted that Pelosi is considering not sending the articles of impeachment over to the U.S. Senate. After rushing through the process of impeachment in the House, "they're content to sit on their hands."
Sen. Hawley Drops a Bomb on Horowitz: 'The Collusion Here Was Between the DNC and the FBI' pjmedia.com/trending/sen-h… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
@PJMedia_com “The DNC pays for the Steele dossier, solicits the Steele dossier, and then gets the Federal Bureau of Investigation to go get FISA warrants, surveil an American citizen, and surveil a presidential campaign all on the basis of this manufactured garbage that they paid for.
@PJMedia_com I mean that’s extraordinary," he complained. "That has got to be a first time in history. In fact, let me just ask you, Mr. Horowitz, are you aware ever of another presidential campaign being targeted by the FBI like the Trump campaign was?”
