"Beijing Biden" Is Bad For America

Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden addressed an online audience of Asian Americans. Like most progressives today, he blasted America as a racist society and specifically targeted President Trump's handling of the coronavirus as "nakedly xenophobic." Here's what Biden said ([link removed]) :

"The pandemic has unleashed familiar forces of hate, fear and xenophobia that he always flames . . . that have always existed in this society. But this president . . . has brought with it a new rash of racial messages, verbal and physical attacks and other acts of hate, some subtle, some overt, against the Asian American and Pacific Islanders."

There are only two things Biden can be referring to: The travel ban, which Biden roundly condemned, and the president referring to the coronavirus as "the Chinese virus," just like we refer to the 1918 pandemic as "the Spanish flu."

What Biden still refuses to do is show this kind of determination and energy in attacking communist China for its responsibility for what Beijing has done to the United States and to many other nations around the world.

Refusing to call Covid-19 "the Chinese coronavirus" is one thing, although it shows just how much the progressive left looks at every issue through the prism of tribal identity. And it no doubt influenced Biden to attack the travel ban as "hysterical xenophobia ([link removed]) ."

But it is inconceivable that "Beijing Biden ([link removed]) " would have stopped travel from China. His view that cutting off travel from a country where a deadly virus is rapidly spreading amounts to "hysterical xenophobia" borders on insanity.



One Standard Of Justice

In everything that was happening yesterday, Attorney General William Barr said something that got lost in the shuffle. I'm not referring to his demurring as to whether Barack Obama and Joe Biden will face any criminal liability for Obamagate.

I am referring to how he described what happened in the 2016 campaign and afterwards. He referred to the abuse of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies and to two standards of justice. Here's what the attorney general said ([link removed]) that the media largely ignored:

"What happened to the president in the 2016 election and throughout the first two years of his administration was abhorrent. It was a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history.

"The law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of this country were involved in advancing a false and utterly baseless Russian collusion narrative against the president.

"The proper investigative and prosecutive standards of the Justice Department were abused in order to reach a particular result. We saw two different standards of justice emerge. One that applied to President Trump and his associates, and the other that applied to everybody else. We can't allow this ever to happen again.

"The Durham investigation is trying to get the bottom of what happened. And it will determine whether there were any federal laws broken. And if there were, those who broke the laws will be held to account."



TDS On Full Display

Yesterday, President Trump made a simple statement to reporters during an event with restaurant industry leaders. He announced he has been taking hydroxychloroquine in consultation with the White House physician.

Little else he said at the event made the news. But the reaction of the left-wing media and Nancy Pelosi ([link removed]) to that minor remark was indicative of the need for a lot of other people to consult with their doctors for some medication to help them calm down.

This anti-viral medication has been around for decades as a treatment for malaria. It is also used off-label to treat lupus and other conditions. Thousands of hospital workers and first responders in Michigan are currently participating in a major study ([link removed]) of hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness.

It is totally within the right of the president or any other individual to ask their doctor for an off-label use, even though it has not been approved by the FDA as treatment for Covid-19.

But the president is exposed to a lot of people, and several White House staff members have recently been infected with the coronavirus. The president's physician, Commander Sean Conley ([link removed]) , noted that he and the president had numerous discussions about the drug, and "concluded that the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks."

Yet the media and the progressive left put their Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display with another knee-jerk reaction to this simple statement.



Another Impeachment

Speaking of Trump Derangement Syndrome, House Democrats told the Supreme Court yesterday that they must have access to the sealed grand jury testimony collected by Robert Mueller in his defunct Russia collusion investigation because they are planning another impeachment effort ([link removed]) .

This is another example of the left imposing a different standard of justice that Attorney General Barr mentioned in his remarks yesterday. Grand jury information is almost never released ([link removed]) , especially when the subject of the investigation has been cleared of wrong doing.

For the House Democrats to tell the Supreme Court that they may impeach President Trump again, this time for something that Robert Mueller said did not happen, is a total waste of time and beyond outrageous as the nation struggles to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.



The Resistance Grows

I must confess that I was getting a little worried about the reaction of the American people and the legal system to the ongoing shutdown of our country. Of course, we want to be prudent and save as many lives as possible. But the ease with which some governors and bureaucrats were able to shutdown freedom of speech and freedom of religion was deeply unnerving.

Thankfully, there seems to be two counterreactions sweeping the country. One is people saying, "ENOUGH!" They just won't sit still anymore as their businesses are being destroyed. They are taking to the streets to exercise their freedoms and reopening their businesses in defiance of government mandates.

The other is normal people just wanting to live their lives. They want to sit on a beach and get a sunburn. They want to enjoy a dinner out. They want to attend sporting events. And for most people under 60, they're not taking a horrific risk.

The other pushback, which took long enough, is coming from our legal system. We reported in recent days that judges in Kentucky and Wisconsin have rolled back excessive orders that infringed on religious liberty and personal freedoms.

You can add North Carolina ([link removed]) to that list, and hopefully soon Oregon ([link removed]) and even Illinois ([link removed]) . Various law enforcement agencies ([link removed]) have resisted enforcing draconian orders.

All of these things are encouraging signs of the good health of the American spirit.
