New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo, who once said that “extreme conservatives … have no place” in his state and more recently derisively dismissed God’s influence, just issued another in his line of greatest pseudo-elitist hits:

He told anti-lockdown protesters that if they were upset about his putting them out of work with the increasingly discredited Wuhan-flu lockdown strategy, they should get jobs as “essential” workers.

And thus spake His Essentialship himself.

Once the initial premise that Wuhan coronavirus patients would overwhelm the healthcare system without lockdowns in place collapsed, politicians moved on to justifying the measures based on saving lives overall — even though experts warn there’ll be a “second virus wave” regardless. But now even this claim is being refuted by a new study showing that there’s no evidence whatsoever that the lockdowns save lives.

Observers might have asked years ago, as the Financial Times did in 2014, “US v China: is this the new cold war?” Now one China expert is likening the Wuhan virus’s release to an act in a hot one, according to American Thinker.

“Washington State’s newest justice is a black, gay, disabled, lesbian immigrant,” tweeted left-wing website Slate on Sunday.

“Does she have a name?” Post Millennial writer Chad Felix Greene tweeted back, rhetorically.

A better question is: Is she qualified?

Slate doesn’t trouble itself much over such pesky details. Instead, in a Friday article headlined “Washington State Now Has the Most Diverse Supreme Court In History,” it complains that “Donald Trump’s presidency has been a disaster for judicial diversity. His judges are overwhelmingly straight, white, and male.”

A sentence later it avers, “In other words, Trump judges do not look like the country they serve.”

The current Wuhan flu “lockdowns” were sold to Americans with the idea that if we didn’t “flatten the curve,” virus-related hospitalizations would overwhelm the healthcare system. Since then, even the “models” factoring in mitigation measures have been revealed as flawed, as having greatly exaggerated the hospitalization rate; this has collapsed the lockdown rationale.

So it’s not surprising that protests against the economy-killing shutdowns have erupted. What may be surprising to some, however, is that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has nonetheless said that posts and pages relating to the organization of protests against stay-at-home orders will be banned — as “misinformation.”

Far from uniting America as 9/11 temporarily did, the Wuhan virus pandemic is further illustrating her profound political divide. In fact, as anti-lockdown protests arise across the nation, left-wing activists dropped makeshift body bags in front of President Trump’s properties. Moreover, authorities under a governor who recently said the Bill of Rights is “above my pay grade” just arrested a woman for organizing an anti-lockdown rally in their state capital.

Yet left largely unsaid is that the people might take virus mitigation measures more seriously if they were devised with more seriousness; instead, it’s clear that politicians’ judgments are colored by political ambition, power lust, prejudices, political correctness, panicked minds, and constitutional ignorance.

In this time of The Virus, spreading faster than the disease are the restrictions and government trespasses designed to combat it. The latest examples are healthcare workers sharing Wuhan-flu-positive patients’ addresses with the police and a Michigan judge authorizing the arrest of people suspected of harboring the virus if law enforcement deems such action necessary.

We’ve seen First Amendment-exercise infringement during the Wuhan virus pandemic, with the arrest of congregants engaging in worship. We’ve seen Second Amendment sneering, with the shutting of gun stores. We’ve also seen a governor say he “wasn’t thinking of the Bill of Rights when” issuing lockdown orders and a police officer tell a pastor, “Your rights have been suspended.” But now a left-wing activist group wants to make the trampling of rights official, with a lawsuit calling on the government to prevent the Fox News “cable network from airing false information about the [virus] pandemic,” as the Times of San Diego puts it.

Did we just learn that New Jersey governor Phil Murphy didn’t mean a word of the oath of office he took in 2018? Back then he “solemnly” swore to “support” and “bear true faith and allegiance” to the United States Constitution.

Now he says “That’s above my pay grade” when asked if his Wuhan virus lockdown orders violate the Constitution.

China is very good at playing both the West and the race card, as evidenced by Beijing’s claim that President Trump’s China travel ban is “racist.” But racism is something the Chinese know a lot about. Just ask the black people living in China — if you want to call it living.

In fact, living on the streets is what African residents in Guangzhou, southern China, have found themselves doing after….
