  1. George Carlin said it best (paraphrased): ..”The truth? The Truth? You can’t handle the truth … The truth is that ‘they’ don’t care about you, … at all, At All, AT ALL

    1. @Watcher I No that’s just God using the natural world, and man’s corruption of his love; To remind you – That without the Son of Man – their is no life.

    2. When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front row seat.

      George Carlin

  2. This episode should ring in the end of “Self Serving Career Politicians”, who are grossly DETACHED from life in the real (working) world.

    1. @richard O’kane It’s not just the politicians but the power brokers behind them. They are the cancers which have preyed upon humanity since the beginning of recorded time,get rid of all of them& their money & world banking systems and who knows maybe we could have a safer less disease peaceful planet!

    2. @Alan Loudoux —Understood. I volunteer to be an infantryman. You guys can stay in the office and work your magic. I trust you to take care of us more than these pigs we have now.

    3. Khmer.Fantasy Biden doesn’t even know what today’s date is. Do we even need to discuss hunter? Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 🤫🤫🤫🤫

    4. CORONAVIRUSMANMADEGENOCIDE LOOKUPDAVIDICKE : have you read Vlad’s ‘Trolling For Dummies’ and taken your medications today ?

    1. @America is US Oh I get you now, you’re one of those about imposing your beliefs on everyone else. You’re not very pro-life about the people who are already here and have people who know and love them though are you. You mentioned Hitler, so do you know Hitlers rise and Germany at that time run parallel to trumps rise. Trump is pro-trump he was a democrat up until he decided to actually run for office and donated to both the Clinton’s campaign’s? He said he is pro-life to get all you pro-lifers to vote for him for sure.

    2. @T Howl trump never stopped any flights from China or anywhere, he put in travel restrictions not a ban. The people coming from China should have been in quarantine after returning to the United states at minimum.

    3. @Lelynn Miller I have always believed that to admit when you are wrong shows strength and opens you up to the possibility to learn. I’ve read your comments in this thread, I like you. You seem like a genuine person, intelligent and honest, all very good traits. Peace

    4. @America is US let me get this straight, if you were president, you would ship all the ungrateful people out of the country? Who decides what is considered ungrateful? Imagine all what living in a country like that would bring. I really hope that it’s something you haven’t given any real thought about. I’m just wondering if you are an adult? Have you ever heard of the Spanish inquisition? The Salim which trials? Or Hitler and the third Reich? I actually really hope that you are kidding, a young child who doesn’t understand what you are saying or trying to make a joke but terrible at humor.

    5. @T Howl https://www.bitchute.com/video/lOjICr7B5S4n/

      Ok,dude. The alternative is satan worshipping Hilary Clinton, who is part of the Epstien cover up.
      BTW, check out Human trafficking statistics for the past 10 years. Trump is busting all the pedophilles and soon hollywood is going down, along with the pope, the Clintons, The royal family, and many more democrat pedophille satan worshipping child killers, are about to be exposed, by Trump.

      You’ll freak out when you see what they’ve done, and still do. #adrenachrome #pedogate

    1. @Dave Calnan Exactly.Just wait till Biden gets in and fixes it all.He’ll save us all,and China will help.

    2. @Dench2020 Nope, it was the democrats who were refusing the travel restrictions to and from China, calling the rest of us ‘racists’.

  3. I know I’m getting old, but I remember back when “Doctor’s Orders” meant something.
    Before the AMA sold the temple to the money changers. ( ie Insurance companies)

    1. @dingus People were already infected with it here and in Europe, like you can’t take a plane to anywhere and then here? He needed to roll out a testing program and put the ones that had it in isolation, but he didn’t and still isn’t. So we all are in isolation. He don’t want to, he said it’s to hard, he’s done enough with stopping planes from China… Besides, Pelosi is not the president.

    2. @Mordalo: THAT IS HORRIBLE! I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m a retired pharmacist and I DESPISE insurance companies! Medical providers waste thousands of hours on the phone to them! They don’t want to pay for THIS medication or for an appointment with a certain specialist or cover THAT procedure, etc. I hope you SUE the pants off your wife’s insurance company. They make BILLION$ in profit. I hope you get some comfort from bringing and winning a civil suit for wrongful death. I remember filling two prescriptions for a young mother with severe postpartum
      depression. Her insurance company wouldn’t cover her antianxiety medication nor her antidepressant, only the ones that failed to work for her previously. I believe I ended up paying for them myself. It may have kept her from harming herself or her family. If the USA were as “enlightened” as Canada and Europe, we’d have affordable medications plus we’d save thousands of dollars yearly that go to insurance companies and their CEO’S!

    3. Once upon a Time they did this. Now If your doctor even tells you your overweight they can get in trouble so what do you expect them to do?

    1. @Yabba Dabba Which is why things are turned down. They don’t bother to put in the fine print what was in the bill, but then no one bothers to do a little research to realize there was a good reason to block it.

    1. @T Howl We know that and why the angry tone? On Feb. 24 while Italy and China were suffering devastating effects from Covid-19 with high mortality rates and after travel bans went into effect, Nancy Pelosi is still acting as if everything is OK and we can go on with our lives! She did a self-promotional photo op in the section of San Francisco known as Chinatown to encourage people to engage in public interaction, hugging and shaking hands at a time when the opposite message would have made more sense.

    1. @frisky kitty you should ask the people of San Francisco if they are winning. Better call them so you don’t have to walk through the sewage in her streets.

    2. She sits in her multi-million home with a fully stocked $230000 refrigerator, while her constituents have to sit in food lines for hours.

    1. China travel ban is all you got ? New York got hammaerd from Italy travel . Stop using that excuse to pardon stupidity at the very top!

    2. @Jose Sandoval And Italy got hammered from China! What’s you’re point. The origin was the same: China. NY the epicenter got hammered from a Mayor who on March 5th was encouraging New Yorkers to go out and live your lives and recommended a play to see. He believed the NYC transit system was at low risk for transmission and said the virus is from prolonged personal, intense contact like you have at home meanwhile a Connecticut doctor opined that the NY subway system with its smooth metallic poles and hand grips and riders packed like sardines was a breeding ground for spread and additionally, until the president of the teachers union threatened to sue the Mayor as of March 13th the mayor was still reluctant to close NYC schools due to his concerns that 65% of the students depend on schools for breakfast and lunch and now a doctor believes that over 80% of NYC school children have the virus and are perfect asymptomatic vessels for spreading the virus to a vulnerable population and that the first 2 weeks of March was the peak time for people being infected!

    3. @Joseph Dale that’s what sucks now a days you can’t escape being blamed but as a trump supporter I must say he did react a little late

    4. Jeremy Buckman Read what the W.H.O. tweeted as he banned travel to Europe and China.

      They said that human to human transmission is not possible. No matter what he did, he would have been blamed.

    1. It’s over. Forget about it. The markets have already recovered 51.6% of what they lost in March. The only thing left is to carry the dead bodies out of the NYC subways.

    2. @David Gainey – correct!!!

      NEWSFLASH: we are not going to test our way out of covid-19.

      Hypothetically, go back about 6 months when there were ZERO cases in the US. We monitored and prepared and locked down(just like Italy) and watched covid spread county by county, state by state across the US.

      How would we ever stop it again if we could get back to zero cases? It would just come in again on a plane or cruiseship or illegal immigrant and we will just repeat 2020 all over again.

      Much is not all of this “pandemic” could have been largely mitigated by simply turning up the humidity!!

      What a novel idea “I” have that has been known for decades that low humidity in the winter causes the flu deaths to rise because of virus “float time” increases in low humidity.Humidity also directly impacts virus viability.

  4. hard hitting interview there! The way you served up partisan questions for her to use as attacks against he political opposition….just prime journalism there folks!

    1. DronetekPolitics Hey Dronetek! You should infiltrate more of these msm comment sections since you have an excellent ability to point out their slight of hand (or not so slight).

  5. When you put Pelosi on the screen, you know you’ve already lost. (both the argument AND your self esteem).
