Upstate, Facts are n95 masks only can filter .3 microbes and higher Coronavirus is .1 So n95 masks do nothing but create the illusion of security Fact•

@Upstater, Does the act of slipping the loops of the mask off of your ear exhaust you? Seriously. If wearing a mask makes you feel safe and protected go for it. If you have your mask on it does not matter that I don't. I'm 65 too but I'm not quaking in my car with a mask. Man up.

Fred, send me your email. You're a neighbor.

Fred, I played golf yesterday on Longboat Key Club. Didn't wear a mask but shot 90 from the blues. A mediocre course.

Au contraire. The lockdown in the industrial countries, which started in March, is likely to lead to a baby boom come December and January. Heterosexual couples stuck at home probably got bored and unprotected sex was rampant. I believe we have a Baby BOOM BOOM coming.

Jose, Your instincts are sound. This is the best they can come up with to try to create a new crisis for Trump.

Boy, I never thought I'd see TTG be so gullible. The NY Times story is being rolled out in conjunction with British reporting, which oddly claims the same thing. The provenance of this so-called intelligence is so thin and questionable that it is natural to ask who has the agenda and what is their goal? Creating and maintaining the Russian boogey man as the ultimate threat does not serve US National Security interests. The Russians have been pretty consistent over the last 20 years about eliminating radical Islamists. They, unlike many in the United States, understand the threat. So, here is their "brilliant" super secret plan--ally themselves with the guys they spent ten years fighting in Afghanistan, pay them to kill Americans and Brits and other US allies with the understanding that their super secret plan will be discovered and will be used as justification for attacking Russia. Yeah, that makes total sense. Russians are stupid, don't cha know.

Jack, He's doing it in front of your eyes. Releasing the Strzok note is just one more example that the worm has turned on the DOJ/FBI traitors.

Fred, Be patient. Barr is letting the system work.

Yeah Right, You are WRONG. The Chinese were on notice that they had a big problem as early as 3 January. They waited till the 23rd of January to shutdown. By then, the damage was done and the plague launched overseas. The DIRECT flights from WUHAN to foreign destinations included: Sydney Australia, San Francisco, USA NYC, USA (JFK) Moscow, London (Heathrow and Gatwick) Rome Istanbul Dubai Osaka Tokyo

Sr. Jackson, It is quite simple. Once the virus was spreading in Wuhan, the Chinese shutdown travel to their own major cities. That's why you've seen very few infections there. However, the Chinese, fully aware of the contagion, allowed travelers to go to other parts of the world. Not my opinion, a cold, hard fact.

Ken, Get a damn sense of humor. But the fact that Bernie honeymooned in the COMMUNIST Soviet Union and extolled the virtues of Fidel Castro for years is not a Republican talking point. Deal with reality instead of rolling around in your lefty fantasy world.

James, This has nothing to do about personal feelings of dislike for Bernie. I despise his politics and his hypocrisy, but I'm looking at the empirical facts. Does not have a damn thing to do with my feelings about him. If he scoops up more delegates tomorrow than he did in 2016 then he is a big winner. If he does less, he's a loser. You may be a Canuck, but that does not mean you are devoid of reason does it?

Jim, Not true about 3 million still to be counted. California stated they have counted 97% of the votes, which includes the mail ins.

Walrus, An interesting prediction. Time will tell. You are on the record with this prediction and will merit praise for your prognostication skills if you're right.

Petrel, Very valid point. You may be right.

Leonardo, You clearly do not see the point. This is not about mathematical theory. Take the case of Bernie's performance in New Hampshire in 2016--150,000 plus votes. In 2020, 76,000. This has nothing to do with only "two" viable candidates. You must be a Bernie supporter and are trying to conjure up an excuse for why he is slipping. His percentages in both Iowa and Nevada were down significantly. But keep deluding yourself.

If Barr and Durham were going to play ball with the Deep Staters and the anti-Trumpers they would not be attacked as is happening. The hysterical over wrought accusations leveled at Barr last week are merely a symptom of the fear seizing these seditionists.

Sid, Are you the Crackpot Pot calling the kettle black? Have you been asleep for the last three years? Your claim, "Trump hasn’t done a whole hell of a lot for the average frustrated working people in those states" is beyond ridiculous. If Democrat leaders embrace your kind of nonsense they are most certainly dead politically. In Trump's last two rallies, held in state's in the grip of winter weather, had combined ticket requests totaling more than 300,000. Hell, the Washington Redskins could not draw 100,000 fans if they gave away tickets and offered free blow jobs from cheerleaders. We've never seen anything like the Trump appeal. Yet, people like you keep trying to pretend it is not real. Good luck with that.

How dare you refer to the Europeans as "REVOLTING." Who do you think you are? They are not REVOLTING. I think it is more appropriate to refer to them as ANNOYING. (Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to go full Rosanna Rosanna Danna on your excellent piece.)
