Excerpt:

Over the weekend, China-watchers – or at least the ones who don’t really watch China all that closely and instead rely on others’ “hot takes” – were shocked to learn that in February both the Chinese manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs had crashed far below consensus expectations, tumbling to record low levels, surpassing even the economic contraction observed at the peak of the global financial crisis.

………………………………

And yet, judging by the market’s torrid surge on Monday, it appears that – as so often happens – traders took China’s latest numbers in stride, and specifically as an indication of Beijing “kitchen sinking” the collapse in February, with a V-shaped recovery sure to follow.

Or maybe not, because while not only has China’s economy not picked up even modestly, but it is only a matter of time before Beijing, which has forced people to go to work against their will, succumbs to a second wave of coronavirus infections, one which will result in an even worse economic slump than the current one, which incidentally has yet to show any actual recovery!

Excerpt:

First ladies don’t kiss and tell.

A racy “New York” magazine cover showing Melania Trump smooching a Big Apple firefighter in the wake of 9/11 has been unearthed nearly two decades later.

At the time of the photo shoot in 2002 — meant to be reminiscent of the iconic V-J Day smooch between a sailor and a nurse in 1945 — Trump was a little-known model named Melania Knauss who had been hired to pose on the cover of the publication’s Valentine’s Day “Singles” issue, according to New York.

Knauss — who at the time was dating Donald Trump, then known as a Big Apple property developer — was selected to star on the cover paying homage to New York’s first responders, who had become “rock stars” in the wake of the devastating 9/11 attacks months earlier.

DAILY CALLER, by Chris White Tech Reporter — February 29, 2020

Excerpt:

A Republican donor reportedly purchased a major stake in Twitter with the intention of pushing out CEO Jack Dorsey, who the billionaire says is too distracted with other ventures.

Activist investor Elliott Management wants to make changes at the social media company, the Bloomberg News report noted Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Paul Singer, the billionaire behind Elliott, once opposed President Donald Trump’s campaign but has since grown more supportive.

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

Very important thread. By comparing viral genomes, @trvrb finds that the new patient in WA has a strain that appears related to the Jan 19 strain from WA patient, rather than to a Chinese strain.

If so, this means the virus has been spreading undetected in WA for six weeks. https://t.co/WouiFlAGPw pic.twitter.com/kA01HaqVof

GATEWAY PUNDIT, by Joe Hoft — February 28, 2020

Excerpt:

Live from Hong Kong

The Hong Kong government and corporations reacted late to the coronavirus but when they did act, the actions were borderline extreme.  More than a month later there are still questions.  The overall damage of the virus is not nearly as severe as originally feared.

………………………………………

Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas on earth with a population of around 8 million. As of this morning there have been 93 coronavirus cases confirmed (the same as Singapore) and two deaths.  The percent of confirmed cases to total population is minuscule at 0.0012%.  Deaths as a percent of the population are basically nil at 2 in 8 million.

Song title: ‘Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing‘

Also known as: The Black National Anthem
Also known as: The Negro National Anthem

Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast’ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Here now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
everyday we lit
Shadowed beneath thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

Excerpt:

While mainstream scientists continue to perform mental gymnastics to insist that the new coronavirus wasn’t man-made, new research from scientists in China and Europe reveal that the disease happens to have an ‘HIV-like mutation’ which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus, according to SCMP.

Recall that at the end of January, a team of Indian scientists wrote in a now-retracted, scandalous paper claiming that the coronavirus may have been genetically engineered to incorporate parts of the HIV genome, writing “This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019- nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature,” meaning – it was unlikely to have occurred naturally.

Fast forward to new research by a team from Nankai University, which writes that COV-19 has an ‘HIV-like mutation’ that  allows it to quickly enter the human body by binding with a receptor called ACE2 on a cell membrane.
