Rush Limbaugh

U.S. right-wing radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, to whom Donald Trump recently awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor usually bestowed upon those who have markedly improved society in some way, recently suggested that the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was nothing more than the “common cold” that was “weaponized” by opponents of Trump to use it against him in this year’s election. Such pandering to those on the lunatic fringe who oppose modern science and medicine, including vaccinations, is not limited to the radio airwaves.

Warren Buffett doesn't sound too optimist about the coronavirus pandemic. This morning, markets crashed on coronavirus fears, right from the opening. When the Dow and NASDAQ were both more than 3% down I had a long talk with my financial advisor, who had already sold my only small investment in international travel (Carnival Cruise lines) and when I said that I'm nervous about this, she said, "Everybody is." Gold prices have been soaring since November-- from around $1,460 an ounce to around $1,685 today.

by NoahAt the end of last Friday's Midnight Meme about Rush Slimebaugh getting a Presidential Medal of Freedom, I speculated as to who could be next on the list of people Trump sees, in his collapsing mind, as American heroes deserving of that special recognition:

by NoahIt's more than incompetence of course. Given Trump's love of his fellow racists and his utter disregard for veterans; awarding Rush Limbaugh a Medal Of Freedom right in the face of an also invited 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman was a perfect storm of nihilistic racist opportunity.

Ah, yes, another article about the Compleat and Greatest Yet Attempt to Remove President Trump from Office Impeachment Extravaganza. To watch the US media outlets, notably Fox News, Drudge Report and CNN, the narratives appear to be set in place with each side trying to dig in to its position at a pitch we actually have not seen before. Russiagate was bad, but this is far more irrational, and unfortunately, there are signs of this irrationality manifest on both sides of the argument.

“Fake news” is a rather ubiquitous term that has come to be used in US and international media. This term is mainly attributed to President Donald Trump, in reaction to false media narratives about him and his campaign, and after his election to the Presidency, fake news became the modus operandi by which the media establishments sought to destroy the Trump Presidency by inundating the American populace with information that would serve to discourage them from supporting him.

The “no food on the plates” breakfast talk that President Donald Trump gave is making a lot of news, on The Duran, and everywhere else. His morning smackdown of NATO was unprecedented. The alliance’s decades-long delinquency of member nations to meet their financial obligations has never been addressed so directly by any American president.

As reported on the Duran, an American Congressional delegation comprised of seven Republican US Senators and Congressmen traveled to Russia from June 30 to July 5th. During this time the delegation met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak.
The two sides expressed hope for a thawing of relations between the US and Russia, which have been in a very poor state since 2014.
