If you are suffering from whiplash or feel like you are watching a tennis match join the club trying to follow the conflicting medical advice about face masks. And if the medical and public health advice is conflicting, wearing a mask – or not – now seems to have become a political statement as well. As the unconstitutional lockdowns begin to come off other arbitrary mandates, such as wearing a mask when outdoors, are being imposed. We are interested in what CHQ readers think about wearing a mask – please let us know in the comments after this article.

Given the importance of our immune systems in keeping us in good health, and protecting us from the pandemic, one would think serious attention would be given to strengthening everyone’s immune systems before drugs and medical procedures are needed.  But one would be wrong in that assumption.  Very little attention is focused on strengthening natural immunity, in the mainstream media or even in the general medical community.

This ever-evolving nightmare must end and common sense says to err on the side of optimism and the belief our country can endure the worst of trials and pandemics. This isn’t the Black Death we’re talking about. At some point, government must trust the people, and maybe then, the people will put their fear away and start trusting the government in return.

Judge Sullivan’s inexplicable hostility to General Mike Flynn continues to prolong the case against him, even though Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell and the government itself have produced reams of documents proving that General Flynn was the object of a concerted campaign of government misconduct and that it was not Flynn, but the FBI, that lied.

It is hard to think of a Republican Senator more worthless and feckless than RINO Richard Burr of North Carolina.The FBI is now looking into Burr’s stock trades and federal agents seized his cellphone. The Senator turned over his phone to agents after they served a search warrant on him at his residence in the Washington area, and he has subsequently resigned as Chairman of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

We all spend too much time worrying about things that probably will never happen. Democrats are taking their uncertainties to the extreme by (likely) canceling their quadrennial nominating convention this summer. Perhaps their fears are justified, however: President Trump is dismantling Obama’s legacy -- and they are powerless to stop it.

The evidence is growing that lockdowns did not have the kind of life saving effect that their advocates, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Democrat Governor of Virginia Dr. Ralph Northam, claimed they would. We urge CHQ readers and friends to read Grading Our Governors: A Report Card on Reopening States' Economies and if your Governor has not earned an “A” or a “B” to call him or her to demand that the economy of your state be reopened.

Conservatives powered the GOP to two important congressional special election victories: Tom Tiffany in WI-07 and Mike Garcia in CA-25. Tiffany won a convincing victory in an Obama district Trump won in 2016, and Garcia leads with 56 percent of the vote of the 143,000 ballots counted so far. Democrats can still steal his victory because in California, mailed ballots can count as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday and received by Friday. FLASH: Democrat Christy Smith conceded to Republican Mike Garcia in the special election for California’s 25th Congressional District.

With the quarantine portion of the weird coronavirus conundrum seemingly winding to a close, politicians like Joe Biden will be compelled to come out of hiding and supply substance rather than submitting op-eds to the Washington Post and calling Trump “childish.” Will Joe offer something more than Trump Derangement Syndrome? Voters want to know.

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
In his dire warnings, that not unexpectedly drew praise from Democrats who need unemployment to be at a high level to win this November's election.  Dr. Fauci reminds me of a carpenter with only one tool – which in his case will be a clamp on the economy. President Trump should reject Democrat calls to run the country on Dr. Fauci’s one problem – one tool approach.

It’s hard to know where to start explaining just how bad Speaker Pelosi’s next gen bailout bill is – but we will start with the institutionalization of California-style vote fraud.  The toll-free Capitol Switchboard number (1-866-220-0044), we urge CHQ readers and friends to call their Senators and Representative tell them Pelosi’s $3 trillion vote stealing plan is a non-starter and that America needs to get back to work.

Few would argue with the need to bring about change in the upcoming months and years, but it can’t be because politicians claim the system is badly flawed. The economy was doing well a few months ago and with more freedom and some rational government moves, we might see that “out with the old and in with the new” is a good thing.

    Fauci is not "The Decider" here. Trump is. It is he who is accountable to the nation for weighing the losses, both human and material, due to his decisions. Fauci may be the best at what he does, but he is still only an adviser. Believing he can do no more than his White House is now doing to contain the incidence of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, Trump has decided his primary job is to prevent the nation from a catastrophic economic collapse from which it might take years to recover. Trump will be responsible for whether the policy succeeds or opens the floodgates to a second and worse wave, should it come.

    If Biden wins, rollback to that 2014 trip with Hunter. What went on? Well, we don’t know, but we can bet the Chinese do. It’s not hard to imagine what would transpire if Joe were elected, even if there’s nothing on that hard drive or it’s been erased (neither are likely). Joe’s the guy who wanted to go along with the communist Chinese in the first place. “China’s going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.” One of Japan’s leaders put it this way during their heyday: “America will be our farm and Europe our boutique.” That didn’t last long. But with China, with Biden’s acquiescence, it would. It would go further.

  • David Catron, The American Spectator

    CA-25 and WI-07 proved that this gimmick is no panacea for their turnout problems. The “Heroes Act” would strip the states of the power to determine how they conduct elections. It would require every state to allow “no excuse” absentee voting, provide postage-paid mail-in ballots, mandate that votes are counted up to 10 days after Election Day, and eliminate voter ID laws. Even worse, it won’t work. Mail-in voting isn’t a magic bullet that will save the Democratic Party. President Trump pronounced this bill, “DOA,” on Thursday. It’s very likely that the Democrats will arrive at November 4 in the same condition.

  • Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist

    Democrats may be in trouble. Their polls show Biden slipping, he hasn’t even begun to experience the rigors of a legitimate campaign, and Democrats can’t easily replace Biden so long as Bernie Sanders and his supporters continue to exist. And all while even CNN admits that Trump’s 49 percent job approval is “matching the highest it’s ever been” and betting markets are favoring Trump so much that Axios was recently forced to admit it. If the media were telling an even remotely accurate story about the political situation thus far, there is no way those two Republicans would have won in Wisconsin and California.

    Winston Churchill, the greatest half-American to ever live, famously said: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” The quote is half-right. The best argument against democracy is actually a five-minute conversation with the average lawmaker. Never clearer has this been than watching the U.S. Senate this week confront the deadly pandemic ravaging the world today. It would not take long before the hearing devolved into the same silly nonsense that dominated the impeachment trial that the Senate was obsessed with when the pandemic first reached America’s shores.

  • Editors, Washington Examiner

    Even Biden’s own campaign keeps calling into question his mental acuity. This should make voters wonder who will be setting policy if he enters the White House. Perhaps President Trump was too unkind when he suggested that as president, Biden would be wheeled into a nursing home while young radicals make all the policy on his behalf. But then, Biden is the one who has chosen to put radicals such as Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez into prominent roles in his campaign. By elevating Ocasio-Cortez, he, or whoever pulls the strings of his campaign, is endorsing her radicalism. Is Biden trying to scare away reasonable people?

  • Cal Thomas, Washington Times

    Ted Nugent sums it up: “Why do I have to stay home just because you are scared? How about you stay home … you stay in your house indefinitely, you wear a mask, you socially distance yourself from me, you avoid restaurants, you avoid baseball games, you stay off the roads, you avoid malls and beaches and parks … I’m done playing your dumb game … I’m no longer going to be a prisoner of your fear. I’m no longer staying in my house or catering to you because you are scared … YOUR fear is not an excuse to destroy America. YOUR fear is not my fear and your fear does not have the right to interfere with my life, my job, my income or my future as a free American citizen.”

  • Robert Stacy McCain, The American Spectator

    Americans did not elect Dr. Fauci to be our Official Economic Controller, and this business of pretending that President Trump’s policy is “anti-science” because he sometimes overrules his advisers is part of the media’s lockdown logic game, which is, of course, all about politics. The same media voices telling us we’re all going to die of coronavirus because of Trump’s policies would have us believe that Joe Biden is even more of a scientific expert than Andrew Cuomo. Biden can seldom speak in coherent sentences, but electing Sleepy Joe will save us from COVID-19. Or so you might believe, if you’re a CNN viewer.

  • John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist

    Instead of grappling with the implications of newly released details about what Obama officials were doing to undermine the incoming Trump administration during the transition, the mainstream media have fixated on Trump’s use of the term “Obamagate,” dismissing it as a conspiracy theory. It's easy to get overwhelmed or tune it out, but the ongoing revelations about the FBI’s targeting of Flynn can’t be ignored. They demand a full accounting. If ever there was a threat to the rule of law, it was the Obama administration’s abuse of power and its weaponization of intelligence agencies to try and take down Trump.

  • Kurt Schlichter, Townhall

    Donors, give me half the money you were going to give these losers. Just half. Now, I will do nothing to help you. In fact, I intend to stir up conservatives to oppose the fascist policies you support. In that way, I am much like the Never Trumpers, except I want to defeat you and the Never Trumpers want to be your gimps. Their sole contribution to the debate is to make us conservatives despise them so much that we will double down on our commitment to utterly level the whole crappy liberal establishment they now slobber over. I will give you the very same result as those dopes will but for half the price.

  • Victor Davis Hanson, PJ Media

    Does World War II offer any lessons regarding our wrecked economy and staggering unemployment from the lockdown reaction to the coronavirus? Perhaps. The government cannot restore prosperity. Only entrepreneurs and risk-takers can. Americans must master their fears of the virus and dare to go back to work. People are tired of being housebound. They want to get back to work to make and spend money. All that is missing is confidence — or rather, the conviction — that the coronavirus is no more dangerous than were the Axis powers and can be beaten far more quickly if we show the sort of will our grandparents had.

  • Rich Lowry, National Review

    The simplistic shots at President Trump, who indeed should have taken the virus more seriously at the outset, don’t work. He’s the president of New York, but also of other large, international cities that have escaped New York’s fate. Has his leadership been better in those places, or do divergent conditions and local decisions account for the better outcomes? None of this, of course, is to disparage New Yorkers. They have absorbed a gut punch over the past two months with characteristic grit and bravery. Yet, without New York’s distinctive vulnerability, the course of the epidemic would look completely different.

  • Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

    Sometimes the truth is like mythical kryptonite. It radiates power and yet promises great destruction. And so reality is to be left alone, encased in lead, and kept at bay. Joe Biden himself is not cognitively able to run a presidential campaign. Even if successful, he is not prepared to serve as president. Do they simply shaft the runner-up, nutty socialist Bernie Sanders and his legions of true believers? How could the media, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the bureaucratic state, academia, and entertainment ever process that reality: that a deity was likely the most corrupt president (Obama) in a generation?

  • Scott McKay, The American Spectator

    With Obamagate, there is no longer the reasonable expectation that the Deep State, or Washington elite Americans have left largely to their own devices to regulate, legislate, and deficit-finance our lives since the Great Depression, will continue as they have. The public is now acutely aware of a two-tiered justice system that allows the political class to ignore the laws it inflicts on regular people. And the market has been shaken out of its status quo — talk to any small or medium-sized business entrepreneur, and they’re reexamining everything they’re doing in recognition their prosperity is no longer assured.

  • Michael Goodwin, New York Post

    The 2020 race doesn’t lack for the sharp contrasts that usually decide elections. Trump’s personality and policies are one set, his response to the pandemic and the economic fallout another. But the world’s greatest counterpuncher won’t play defense only and the entry of the Russia-Flynn scandal into the mix gives the president a big new hammer. Count on him to use it. Biden can’t have it both ways. Either he was a fully involved VP, or he was mere standby equipment. And if he was the former, as both he and Obama have repeatedly insisted, then he must answer for one of the dirtiest scandals in American history.
