Why is the MSM working overtime to try to show that Covid-19 is dangerous to children - when so few of them have died?

The emergence of a new illness affecting children has been seized upon by the media in an attempt to stir up yet more fear of coronavirus. Yet the truth is that there's no evidence of a link between it and Covid-19.

The mainstream media has kicked into overdrive its coverage on children suffering from coronavirus, or an illness they claim is linked to it. Obviously, there are few things worse, if any, on this earth than a sick child. Mercifully, however, Covid-19 seems to be an affliction that doesn't affect youngsters very badly.

According to virtually every study conducted into the illness, children appear to be the least likely group to catch, transmit, suffer badly or die from this new disease currently upending the global order. Those overwhelmingly likely to be killed from it are the elderly, the already unwell and the obese, and whilst their plight has obviously been covered in the media, the amount that it affects children has been hugely disproportionate.

Comment: Anyone remember the babies in incubators? The media has a history of selling sick and dying children - or at least the illusion of sick and dying children - in order to justify and drum up support for the sick and twisted agendas of the ruling classes. When will people stop listening?

Will American citizens submit to a second lockdown?

The protesters seem to be saying: We deplore the losses and know the risks, but we cannot live our lives behind closed doors in our homes until the elites tell us, as though we were children, when we may go out in the yard.

On March 24, President Donald Trump said he wanted the country and the economy "opened up and just raring to go by Easter."

Easter came and went. And Trump was mocked for being aspirational and unrealistic. Yet, with Ascension Thursday at hand, 40 days after Easter, the president seems to have been ahead of his time.

The country, as a whole, is, and has been, opening up. Sunday's New York Times reports that, for weeks now, more than two-thirds of the states have been relaxing restrictions as Trump had urged.

The reasons: weariness with the lockdown and sheltering in place, a growing belief that the worst of the pandemic is behind us and undeniably positive news from several fronts in the coronavirus war.

Scene from 'Schugaley'
Every day we see the conflict in Libya on media news coverage, but what if you were taken to the battlefield and found yourself captured by terrorists? This is the viewers experience when watching the new action-thriller Shugaley, which is free to watch online, and based on the true story of Russian sociologist Maxim Shugaley and his Arab interpreter Samer Sweifan who were kidnapped in Libya by terrorists.

In the course of his research, Shugaley (Kirill Polukhin) discovers explosive information, which leads to the pair being kidnapped by terrorists who work for the government in Tripoli, led by Prime Minister Fayez al Sarraj. The Russian sociologist and his interpreter (Oleg Abalyan) are taken to the Mitiga prison where they suffer bloodcurdling torture and humiliation, at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, on orders of Interior Minister Fatih Bashaga.

Rocket blast near US Embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone, first such incident in weeks

At least one rocket fell near Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the US Embassy and other diplomatic compounds in Iraq, according to reports, possibly marking the first attack on the facility in weeks.

The explosion set off sirens at the US Embassy compound on Tuesday morning, local media said. The rocket was fired from an eastern district of Baghdad and hit an empty building inside the zone, Reuters reported, citing the Iraqi military. No casualties have been reported in the incident.

Though the sprawling Green Zone complex and the surrounding area have been a frequent target for rocket strikes over the years - at least 27 so far in 2020 alone - such incidents have decreased in recent weeks, with the last one coming on May 6 near the Baghdad International Airport, located some 25 kilometers west of the Green Zone. If confirmed, Tuesday's strike would also come as the first since the appointment of Iraq's new Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, a former intelligence chief.

FBI: Shooter at Pensacola base coordinated with al-Qaida

The Saudi student opened fire inside a classroom at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday before one of the deputies killed him. The FBI has found a link between the gunman in a deadly attack at a military base last December and an al-Qaida operative. That’s according to a U.S. official who spoke to The Associated Press on Monday.
The gunman who killed three U.S. sailors at a military base in Florida last year communicated with al-Qaida operatives about planning and tactics in the months leading up to the attack, U.S. officials said Monday, as they lashed out at Apple for failing to help them open the shooter's phones so they could access key evidence.

Law enforcement officials discovered contacts between Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani and operatives of al-Qaida after FBI technicians succeeded in breaking into two cellphones that had previously been locked and that the shooter, a Saudi Air Force officer, had tried to destroy before he was killed by a sheriff's deputy.

"We now have a clearer understanding of Alshamrani's associations and activities in the years, months and days leading up to his attack," Attorney General William Barr said at a news conference in which he chastised Apple for not helping open the phones.

An international group of labor unions has filed a complaint alleging "systemic" and "rampant" sexual harassment at McDonald's restaurants around the globe, arguing the corporate fast food giant has ignored the problem for years.

The complaint was filed with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Monday by the International Union of Food Workers (IUF), which said McDonald's had allowed a "sexual harassment crisis" to persist in restaurants all over the world, including in the US, Brazil, Australia, France, the UK, Chile, and Colombia, among other countries.

"McDonald's workers have sounded the alarm about sexual harassment and gender-based violence for years, but a company with a culture rotten from the top has failed to take meaningful action to address the problem," Sue Longley, IUF's general secretary, said in a statement.

Churchgoers in Chicago could face citations for attending in-person services on Sunday, according to the mayor's office.

Dozens of churches across the country, including a handful in Illinois, participated in "Peaceably Gather Sunday," organized by Kentucky pastor Brian Gibson, which sought to defy states' coronavirus stay-at-home orders. In Illinois, Gov. J.B. Pritzker's order doesn't allow more than 10 people at a place of worship.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city was prepared to enforce the orders against houses of worship that hold in-person services, and though Chicago police said there were no arrests made or citations issued Sunday, that could change in the coming days, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Daniel Orozco, 28-years-old, was released from Monterey County Jail in California after he was arrested for driving the wrong way and driving under the influence of drugs. Within ten minutes of his release, Orozco hijacked a car and choked the owner's 11-year-old son.

Democrats may not have a clue on how to create jobs but when it comes to creating crime victims, they are unsurpassed. One man was arrested and released three times in one day in New York.

Orozco waylaid the woman and demanded her car keys and when she refused to give them up, the man began choking her 11-year-old son. She handed him the keys and pulled her son out of the car. Orozco took off, where he was later rearrested.

Oregon salon owner says Child Protective Services went to her home when she reopened business in defiance of lockdown order

Lindsey Graham salon owner
A salon owner in Oregon claimed that Child Protective Services was sent to her home to check in on her children after she reopened her establishment in defiance of the governor's stay-at-home order.

Lindsey Graham of Salem said an agent from the state's Child Protective Services came to her home when she reopened her salon, Glamour, in early May and was also fined $14,000 for reopening.

"On May 7, I got a phone call from my nanny," Graham told SiriusXM's Breitbart News Sunday. "As soon as I went to work, a DHS officer came to my home and tried to speak to her, and she said, 'I don't feel comfortable answering any questions for you. I think you need to call the homeowner.' So DHS basically stopped by my house and said they had some claims against me and my family about our home being unfit."

'Have a good day & be safe': New Jersey cops are latest police force to refuse enforcing Covid-19 restrictions

Footage of police in New Jersey informing anti-lockdown protesters they're in violation of Covid-19 executive orders, but will not face consequences, is the latest example of officers taking a more hands-off approach to the rules.

People began gathering outside Atilis Gym in southern New Jersey hours before it opened on Monday to show support for the business defying executive orders from the governor, and to protest the continuing lockdown measures in place across the state.

While almost no protesters wore face coverings and were clearly breaking social distancing guidelines by gathering in a big crowd, police simply informed those gathered that they were in violation of current orders - and to "have a nice day."

"Formally, you are all in violation of the executive order," an officer told the crowd. "On that note, have a good day. Everybody be safe." Police then left the area to the sound of cheers from the protesters.
