The Delusional Left
It's always important to keep things in proper perspective. That is particularly important as the nation grapples with the fallout from the novel coronavirus, which has infected 100 Americans and killed six people. Sadly, more people died last night from the tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee ([link removed]) .
But just so you know, the yearly flu ([link removed]) has already infected at least 32 million Americans, caused 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths.
The left's delusional reaction to the coronavirus is more of a public threat than the virus itself. Seriously, friends, let's just look at how the left has responded to this crisis.
* When the administration imposed travel restrictions on China, the left accused him of xenophobia ([link removed]) . Yesterday, Dr. Deborah Birx ([link removed]) , one of the nation's top medical experts, said that the travel restrictions "bought us time and space" to combat the virus.
* When the Coronavirus Task Force was announced, the left complained ([link removed]) that it was "too white" and "too male."
* The left accused the White House of muzzling medical experts. Dr. Anthony Fauci ([link removed]) , the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told reporters over the weekend, "I've never been muzzled and I've been doing this since Reagan."
* The left accused the president of calling the coronavirus a "hoax." Even liberal fact checkers ([link removed]) have rejected that accusation as false.
* The left accused the administration of gutting the budgets of vital health-related agencies. That too was false ([link removed]) .
* The left even mocked ([link removed]) the administration for praying, which is what decent people do.
Once again, it's obvious that the left views everything -- yes, even a virus ([link removed]) -- through a warped, ideological lens. Just think about that for a moment.
If there's a potentially dangerous virus spreading around the world, the left would refuse to secure the borders. It would demand that experience and expertise take a back seat to racial quotas. It would lie about basic facts, and mock people for seeking God's wisdom and mercy.
By the way, a recent Gallup survey ([link removed]) found that 77% of Americans are confident in the government's ability to address the coronavirus situation. That confidence level is significantly higher than previous outbreaks involving the bird flu, the swine flu and Ebola.
Speaking Of Elections. . .
Israelis went to the polls yesterday for their third national election in less than a year. While ballots are still being counted, initial results look promising for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ([link removed]) .
A spokesman for Netanyahu's Likud Party told reporters, "The country had its say. The people want a nationalist government under Netanyahu." At the moment, the conservative-religious bloc appears to control 58 seats in the Knesset, just shy of the 61 votes needed to form a government.
Getting Tough On China
Yesterday, the Trump Administration imposed a cap on the number of employees that five of China's state-owned propaganda outlets could have in the U.S. As a result of this employee limit, 60 Chinese nationals are effectively being expelled.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ([link removed]) said, "As we have done in other areas of the U.S.-China relationship, we seek to establish a long-overdue level playing field. . . We urge the Chinese government to immediately uphold its international commitments to respect freedom of expression, including for members of the press."
As Secretary Pompeo noted, the Trump Administration is aggressively rebalancing our relationship with China. And the American people are noticing. For the first time in decades, more Americans now see the United States, not China, as the world's leading economic power ([link removed]) .
