The Chinese Coronavirus is bringing out a particularly ugly side to The Radical Left. They’re losing the war of their primary narrative of Orange Man Bad, and don’t care what the consequences of their actions are. I could easily go on for a few thousand words of how they’re irresponsibly whipping up hysteria among their gullible followers (and I’m not suggesting not taking precautions, just to not panic), how they’ve become the useful idiots for the Communists that rule the Chinese people, nor the stupidity and hypocrisy of suggesting that referring to the virus by the geographic area from which it originates as… wait for it… you knew this was inevitable… RAAAAAAACIST! And yes, I now that theire are five “A”s in racist, but I decided that they earned a brownie point and get an extra “A” this time.
The one angle that I’m looking at that hasn’t been addressed in the flood of current articles on this topic is why the MSM’s collective focus has shifted to “Racism”. Why? Very simply, their all consuming reason for existing since November 2016 is “Cheeto Hitler EVIL!!!”, facts or reality be damned. The current epidemic was that golden ring that they’ve been desparately lunging for for three years of ending the Trump presidency. They hoped that they could blame the virus’s spread on President Trump – no dice, at least not outside their bubble. Shriekimg at the market drop while ignoring any rebound? Nah. Or how about the desparation of some loon on MS-13NBC calling for arresting our president on homicide charges? Even CNN hasn’t touched this one. Yet. So why the need for racism to be the next failed narrative?
Very simply, the MSM knows they have nothing left. Their efforts to turn the American people against their president have failed so badly that they last arrow they have left in their poisoned quiver is so tired that even Leftist icon Jon Stewart long ago warned them that their race card was overdrawn. It is literally all that they have left. As you saw from the link earlier in the post the media and Vichy Conservatives is now declaring a simple term that they used for months is now racist. Yes, seriously. Forget the obvious questions here, such as “When did your own behavior suddenly become racist, and are you ready to apologize?” Or how about, “Maybe we should look at who’s funding all of these sudden Sino-philes?” Or even, “Hey oh great and exhalted Party of Science – when did China, or Wuhan, suddenly become the identity of every Asian on this planet? I’m sure that the Japanese and Koreans in particular would love for you to tell them that they’re all Chinese.”
Let them have at it. They’re voices keep diminishing, and when we come out on the other side of this we will probably see a reckoning day. And it is long overdue.

I’m not really concerned where the media dies it as long as it does. https://t.co/7vumglput4

First question: how will you POSSIBLY render the past week down into a manageable “Radical Lefiism” post? It may have to be in several volumes.
Um… WHO needs to be “convinced” this came from China? And, aren’t they already pissed off about any number of trivial, silly, pointless, self-inflicted issues?
It MAY be important where the “steamer” came from. Diets vary.
I will not stop calling it Green Bay, dammit thats what color it is in the summer! It isnt being mean to Kermit.
How can they call it a Pandemic, did it come from a Pan?
Epidemic, well one of the side effects of the medications they are trying is your hair falls out.
The younger people that catch the Kung Flu are not always A symptomatic, this flu hurts bad it hurts to breathe your bones ache. Kids going on Spring break isnt worth it, there might not be a next year if you think you are Invincible. Do you know what mostly means? Ya it mostly kills old people that means not 100 percent.
We are already used to the ignorant media bashing the Prez there is no way to make them stop so
Wu-Flu is fine. The point is that China’s lack of freedom, morals, ethics, and hygiene, are now a threat to the human race.
Chinese Corona Virus, Kung-Flu, Wu-Flu. People can call it whatever they want.
More disturbing is our Leftist contingent and their media’s belief that they can control language…kind of like how the communist tyranny of China does.
I invite all to call the virus something derogatory that rags on China, even if it makes people uncomfortable.
@Nathan Blue: @kitt: Let’s just call it “Obamavirus”. Makes as much sense as calling it “Trump virus” and identifies the source of much of the problems encountered responding with a plan to this crisis.
@Nathan Blue: Sad news time to wok the dog…The first known dog to test positive for the coronavirus has died in Hong Kong after apparently recovering from the disease, according to a local report.
The pooch, a 17-year-old Pomeranian, passed away Monday after being returned home to its owner following a government quarantine and a negative test for the virus, the South China Morning Post reported.
@kitt: So the dog died of WuFlu…or because it was 17 years old?
wok the dog…priceless!
I love how that silly White Cat Meme keeps being re-incarnated, even though it’s been floating around the web for almost a year in one form or another. Why don’t we just call this disease what it is? The Chinese Old People Killing Bat Soup Pneumonia.
@Nathan Blue: I think old age, she wouldnt allow an autopsy. This dastardly kung flu can be passed on to our beloved pets, and I assume if you bring fido to the dog park fido can spread it as well.
When you come home, no touch, no talk, no eye contact, wash your hands then greet fido. Remember the poison dog food from China?
know anyone who sews?
quilting squares, dinner napkins, cotton fabric scraps.
@kitt: A 17-year-old Pomeranian is supposed to die. Even if I were Chinese, I wouldn’t put that dog in a wok.
@Jessica Smith: The post wasnt directed at you but if it made a liberal head explode mission accomplished.
This virus originated in China either because of poor sanitary/dietary habits or as a bio-weapon that got out either purposely or by accident. The Chicoms kept it from the rest of the world for an undetermined amount of time allowing it to spread globally and hinder other countries from getting a jump on its spread for the purpose of either covering up for their incompetence or because they wanted it to spread to do what it has done- cause panic and wreck economies. The latter scenario means it may have been a bio-weapon attack. The Chicoms need to be held accountable. The MSM and dems in this country who have exploited it for political gain and who have advanced Chicom propaganda must also be held accountable.
I was looking at some of the reaction on social media since it was announced that chloroquine may be effective in treating the virus. The lefties seem to be upset at the positive development.
“The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19,” the State Department said in a statement. “In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.”
You want a foreign healthcare system or ours, your choice.
If I was sunning on a Jamaican beach I would cry.
@Deplorable Me: #1: The stories aren’t that hard to curate , given that I try to only do one per day unless there’s something really good.
And minor programming note, but unless soemone else here publishes I might not put up TWIRL until Saturday morning to keep this as the top for a day or two
@Brother Bob: I guess you’ll blame TRUMP!
@Brother Bob: Now they have done it
@Deplorable Me: Of course it’s Trump’s fault!
@kitt: They shoudl play that on screen at his next press conference!
@kitt: 17—-Only old dogs get it? maybe he had an underlying heart condition.
Blame China not Dems or Repubs
19,100 all gone—no sense even talking about stocks–bear mkt in full swing-
@Rich wheeler: Yup Market go figure
The dog may have caught it from her as she recovered from it, and little dogs like to cuddle. At 17 the little dog may just have run his years.
Two dogs in Hong Kong whose owners tested positive for COVID-19 have tested positive for the virus in what health officials characterize as “likely to be a case of human-to-animal transmission.” So wash your hands before you greet your fur babies after you have been out and about.
If someone has had the virus then at a later time dies we dont blame the virus.
It was clickbait after you read the article you find out the dog was quarantined tested clear then returned to her.
Stress from not having its human hasten the little senior dogs demise? IDK
@Rich wheeler:
You need to get that message to your own party and candidates. Republicans already blame China… and get called racist for it.
Are you racist?
@Deplorable Me: Unfortunately, the China suckup has gone on a lot longer than that. I blame albright and her poor decision making to start. The bushes did little to deal with China before obozo had his shot. It wasn’t until President Trump, as promised during the campaign, that we had someone taking on the dragon.
@Bookdoc: An article https://www.redstate.com/kiradavis/2020/03/19/801727/
@kitt: #22: For the title alone that link is going in next week’s TWIRL!
And this week’s TWIRL is finally up – dropped it a few minutes ago =8^)
@Bookdoc: As we see it takes GUTS and determination to face that trade and manufacturing problem. Those who fear making various interests angry if they do something that benefits the nation as a whole don’t take action. Trump just does what he feels is best and lets the results speak for themselves. As we see, his positions on trade and bringing jobs back here were precipitous and inspired… all vehemently opposed by Democrats and semi-Democrat Never-Trumpers.
Both Democrat candidates show that they would be disastrous for this country.
