Virus Heroes and Zeros
It's Kurt at TownHall, and he's back in full form
We’re probably at the end of the beginning of the great Chinese coronavirus insanity, and in not-too-long, we’ll be back to work, despite the people screaming that Trump wants to kill all the old people to please Wall Street fatcats because of course he does. We’ll also soon be assessing blame.

There’s lots of blame because there are a lot of stupid people and institutions who should be blamed. There are also heroes. I wrote about them the other day. But most of the people you recognize from the idiot box were zeros.

The list of zeros must begin with the media, as if that’s a shock. If you were expecting anything but garbage from our media, you have not been paying attention for, oh, the last half-century. Like its establishment masters, the press was freaking out because the Democrat candidates were a collection of mutants and nothing they threw at Donald Trump could stop him, not emoluments, not taxes, not chicks, not Russia, not Ukraine, not Upper Volta, nothing. And then...the Chinese flu. Yeah, that was it! Yeah, that would totally get Trump! Yeah, instead of dealing with the bogus impeachment, Trump should have been rebooting Contagion, though when he cut Bat-Soupland off from direct air travel the smart set called him "racist."

...Someday, an expert is going to write the definitive book on the modern American media. That expert will be a proctologist.

...Nancy Pelosi is another huge zero. Boy, talk about stepping on your Ted Lieu. Her idea about tanking the relief bill and trying to force her liberal Kwanzaa shopping list of commie fetishes down America’s throat was a strategic blunder of incredible proportions. Nancy forgot that it’s not 1970, when she was 62 years old, anymore. Her media pals will try to cover for her but the gatekeepers got no gate no more to keep. The truth came out and she wilted under the heat. The Dems look like idiots.

China is a huge zero. Those of us who aren’t globalist hacks were already over it, but now it’s pretty clear even to the dummies who it was not already clear to that you can’t trust commies. They lie, they cheat, and for some reason, they eat weird stuff. We’re going to consciously uncouple ourselves from reliance on China, and hopefully take a good look at its citizens’ infiltration of our own institutions in terms of outright espionage and buying influence. Many of our alleged best n’ brightest have shifted into outright support of the ChiCom line. The Atlantic has sucked up to the Chinese so hard that if you read one of its Xi-fluffing features, a half-hour later you’re ready to read it again.

Trump is a hero, of course. He’s been calm and cool and out there every day so effectively that the lib media was demanding his press conferences not be shown live ‐ hypocrisy, thy name is MSNBCNN. No one who is not insane or stupid or a social distancing lifestyle practitioner who scribbles for the Bulwank, to the extent that sad Venn diagram is not a single circle, blames Trump because the Chinese insist on munching on pangolins.

...And Biden is not just a zero but a negative number. He’s like a -4. This is a disaster for the Dems. They have him locked away in Delaware occasionally doing weird vids that seem to channel the bizarre conspiracy radio shows you get at the far left of the dial while driving through Nebraska at midnight.
