With all the stuff going on with other nations... it looks like China wants to take advantage and Invade!
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chine...-zs3mt2h2p
They've been wanting to take back Taiwan for decades. Now there's talk of using Covid as a distraction while they invade the sovereign nation that China refuses to let join the World Health Organization.

Cuomo finally stops Covid Patients from being in Nursing Homes
https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/new...ome-policy-
As many say, "Too little too late". I mean it was weeks ago when we found out he forced nursing homes to take patients that had Covid!

Think that's bad?
I can hardly believe this latest Relief bill. But then again, look who wrote it and what it has!
Relief for Cannibis/Marijuana growers because they need relief more thanany other business. It also gives $10 million to the National Endowment for the Arts, because they obviously do research on Covid-19. The bill also grants $500 billion to bail out states and $375 billion to bail out cities, this expected to help States that were already on spending sprees. That, coupled with nearly $2 billion money to Colleges, why is only $15 million going to maintaining operations, rental assistance supportive services, and other features to help low-income families? Yet, and I quote, it "Allows wealthy people who make money from dividends and royalties to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is designed for lower-income Americans."

And if you trust NBC, don't.
NBC is still FAKE NEWS and got busted again
https://www.foxnews.com/media/chuck-todd...flynn-edit
They ripped off a "Meet the Press" interview on CBS and edited content for politics and defaming Barr. Sure, they apologized for the Chuck Todd edit... after they got CAUGHT! But who really thinks they won't do it again?

You need to subscribe to the times...

The invasion of Taiwan has become one of the most discussed topics in China after nationalists called on the state to seize the island by force while the world is preoccupied with fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

A growing number of the country’s social media users argue that the virus provides a window of opportunity to invade Taiwan and achieve the national goal of unification. The calls follow decades of state propaganda that has spawned strong support on the mainland for “reunification by force”.

Sure, there's a subscribe button. But plenty to read already.

First Brazil death 'earlier than thought'

They revealed their first decease should have happened on January 19th approximately.
You see, this is the third nation that reports that arrived earlier than their authorities first thought. France and USA had made similar claims already.

China’s new army of tough-talking diplomats
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52562549
Perhaps it's about time we learn about China's "wolf warrior" kind of diplomacy...
Even Belgrade, Serbia had an ad saying "Thank you, brother Xi"... What for? !?
No way I'd ever do the same! Do you recall Australia made a claim there was a need for an independent investigation to find out all about the true origins of ? China didn't ignore it...  

China this week imposed import bans on some Australian beef processors and threatened tariffs on Australian barley.

Nope, Australia won't thank them for her either.

Czech media name Russian diplomat in 'poison plot' row
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52630891
Do you remember the spy story I told you about a few days ago? Here's chapter two!

Now a Russian diplomat working for the embassy in Prague asked for protection for he claims he had been harassed or threatened. OK, OK, he's Russian so he might be overreacting after all.

US 'won't use Russian ventilators' linked to fires

They'd be total morons if they dared to use them at hospitals.
I doubt they've even got any, except for some units they might have donated.

Merkel was one of the latest targets of Russian Hackers
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52650756

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has confirmed that she was targeted by hackers thought to be Russian military intelligence (GRU).
She was asked in parliament about a German magazine report that the GRU had obtained emails from her constituency office in a hacking attack in 2015.
But the German chancellor added that she would continue to "strive for good relations with Russia".

I'm sorry, Melana, because I gotta tell you this: she's an idiot. How can she treat Russia as a friend if they ARE hacking her office!?
Oh right... She knows Germans still need Russian gas and oil.

Yeah, no kidding.  BUT... Putin accepted U.S. Ventilators after Donald Trump offered them as humanitarian aid .

Hey, does anyone remember when
Joe Biden denied then admitted knowing about the FBI Flynn investigation
Yeah, he said “I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” and later said  “I was aware that there was, that they asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about.”

That was all he knew?  That was a blatant lie.

More than a Dozen Obama Officials Requested Flynn Unmasking
Biden among those who wanted Flynn Unmasked
Rand Paul Rips Biden over Unmasking
Choose your news, Wallstreet Journal, Forbes, Fox.  Either way, Biden's statement yesterday, when he knew nothing about the investigation, was totally false since an unmasking request is an official 'Document' that he had to file.

You remember there was a whole to-do about trying to impeach a president, saying that we're using the power of government to go after a political opponent? This is a smoking gun if there ever was one that Vice President Biden was using the power of government, abusing that power to go after a political opponent. Essentially, unmasking someone is the equivalent of illegally wiretapping them.

  Now I'm worried about a simple Lani....

Pennsylvania Health Secretary knew "Covid" Nursing Homes Unsafe... but...
Moved her mom out of them.  Let's say that again.  She told the public that Nursing homes were safe, this after it was decreed after March 15 that Nursing Homes MUST take all recipients, including residents who had contracted COVID-19.  Yet, she moved her own mom out of a nursing facility and put her up in a hotel!   And over half of Pennsylvania's Covid deaths are in nursing homes.

BBC warn us about 5 major threats
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-52630346

The agreement that controls the production of nuclear weapons, namely New Start, expires next February. Russia might negotiate but USA demands China should get involved. Meanwhile, China only cares about their public image and their own ambitions.
They also mentioned the US-Iran conflict. The Iranian deal will expire this October and they threatened US if they ever manage to renew it.
Later on they listed the Israeli intention to annex what's believed to be Palestinian territories... Even if there's never been any Palestinian State of sorts. This would obviously spark the flames of war among several Arab nations in the chaotic Middle East.
Brexit, well, British got in troubles for leaving the EU so it's obvious they'd get unstable thanks to this political move and of course. It's supposed to be solved by the end of this year.

Climate change... This one sounds more like a joke right now. China has shown no plans to reduce their share of toxic gases for they'll only try to rebuild their economy as fast as possible. The virus only gave the environment a brief break at most.

State of emergency lifted in most of Japan
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52658551
It doesn't seem to make any sense. It usually takes like 3 weeks to recover from severe symptoms of so how exactly can they cope with demand for medical services!?

Unlike governments elsewhere, Japan's leaders have no legal power to enforce a lockdown. While local governors can call on businesses to stay closed and suggest people stay at home, there are no punishments if they choose not to do so. Despite this, mobility data has shown a striking drop in public movement.

It's voluntary and still, they managed to contain it!? Oh no, that doesn't sound suspicious at all.

China provides housing for the poor!?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52657843

Around 30 households will remain in the Atulie'er village - which is set to turn into a tourism spot. According to Chinese state media outlet China Daily, these households will effectively be in charge of local tourism, running inns and showing tourists around.

So this was just an attempt to make money out of their rural lifestyle and its environment. In other words is a masquerade for a forced relocation. Keep in mind it's not totally free. Families still need to pay 30% of the relocation costs and it hits them hard for they're extremely poor and usually depend on their own crops and farm animals.

The state Supreme Court ruled out the need to impose or keep the governor's order to stay at home, and let local governments take the decision instead. Some Democrats complained it's unclear whether a governor will be able to enact proper measures in a near or far future if any plague hits them ever again.

People are telling governor Cuomo he needs to come up with a plan to get the money that will fund his ambitious idea of testing care home workers twice a week. They're about 185,000 workers in total! How can they be sure they'll get all these tests in time? Of course, he had to say something to cover his ass after he let the care homes become hotspots in the first place...

Despite Apple's resistance, the Department of Justice found out that the killer had met Al Qaeda members and planned the attack and let them publish his will after he had passed away. Of course, his fellow students even had child pornography in their possession. Yeah, there are good reasons to trust a despotic regime lead by an usurper.

I find it strange to see those countries now care a bit about the worst performing nations in the EU. Even so Germany keeps its idea of lending money instead of granting it as gifts even if Merkel allowed them to be mere grants. Austria prefers loans as well.

Trump gives WHO a 30 day deadline
US President Donald Trump has given the World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus a 30 day deadline to make "major changes" - or the US would permanently cut off funding to the organisation.
In a tweet, Mr Trump published his full letter to Mr Ghebreyesus, in which he criticised the WHO for not doing enough, saying it "consistently ignored credible reports of the virus spreading" late last year in Wuhan.
He also called out the WHO for repeatedly "praising" China, saying the only way forward for it was to "demonstrate independence from China".
He added that if the WHO did not "commit to major substantive improvements", he would "make his temporary freeze of US funding permanent and reconsider our membership".
