Trump is defending his failures in protecting the American people...

...from COVID-19 by calling the response a responsible and good response. The response to the SARS-CoV-2 by Trump was never to prevent it, so much as "herd immunity." He has said the words "Herd Immunity" from the first days of the American awareness of the virus.

Trump never prevented the spread, he has always encouraged it and caused deaths when they could have been prevented.

The reason there is no vaccine to react to SARS-CoV-2 from the start is that it was never needed before now. SARS was controlled and limited to a double-digit number in the USA. There was never a need for a vaccine because these viruses were always contained.

The CDC was muzzled from the beginning. That is a fact.

In the early weeks of the US coronavirus outbreak, (click here) staff members in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had tracked a growing number of transmissions in Europe and elsewhere, and proposed a global advisory that would alert flyers to the dangers of air travel.

But about a week passed before the alert was issued publicly -- crucial time lost when about 66,000 European travelers were streaming into American airports every day.

The delay, detailed in documents obtained by CNN, is the latest example to emerge of a growing sense of disconnect between the CDC and the White House.

In interviews with CNN, CDC officials say their agency's efforts to mount a coordinated response to the Covid-19 pandemic have been hamstrung by a White House whose decisions are driven by politics rather than science.

The result has worsened the effects of the crisis, sources inside the CDC say, relegating the 73-year-old agency that has traditionally led the nation's response to infectious disease to a supporting role.

Trump's economy was purchased with tax breaks.

This is a myth?

...Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes (click here) the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made....

...Brown, a Democrat, (click here) announced the security plan for Portland after the fatal shooting of Aaron Danielson, 39, on Saturday as Black Lives Matter protesters clashed with Trump supporters who drove in a caravan through the city. No one has been arrested in the case.

The rejection by the two sheriffs, elected as nonpartisans, increases uncertainty about Portland's future just as Trump puts the chaos in Portland in his campaign crosshairs as part of his law and order re-election campaign theme.

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said inundating the city with more law enforcement would not work because Portland's newly elected district attorney has dismissed charges against hundreds of protesters arrested for non-violent, low-level crimes.

Roberts and Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett also said the liability for their deputies would be too great amid worries deputies could be sued for actions they take outside their home jurisdictions.

“The same offenders are arrested night after night, only to be released by the court and not charged with a crime by the DA’s Office," Roberts said. "The next night they are back at it, endangering the lives of law enforcement and the community all over again.”...

The Hunter Biden issue is debunked. The mayor of Moscow was removed because he was accused of corruption. His wife is very wealthy. The monies that were WIRED to the USA was to banks to invest in a computer company of sorts. There was never any amounts of money given to Hunter Biden. The company the Russians started end up in bankruptcy. There were vast amounts of money wired to the USA but it was for their won use.'

Veterans Affairs officials (click here) reported more deaths from coronavirus patients in August than any previous month of the pandemic, but department leaders dismissed concerns about the rising number of fatalities by questioning their own public records on the virus.

As of Monday evening, at least 2,935 VA patients have died from the sickness in the last six months, according to the department’s own daily summary of cases. About one in every 18 positive cases of coronavirus among VA patients has resulted in a death.

There were 820 patient deaths reported in August. About 490 individuals died from virus-connected conditions in July, about 380 in June, about 720 in May and roughly 500 in April and March combined, according to VA’s daily public releases on virus response....

The Trump administration (click here) on Tuesday rolled back an Obama-era law that pushes automakers to produce more fuel efficient vehicles, severely limiting a rule designed to decrease pollution from transportation in the face of climate change.

The new rule cuts the year-over-year improvements expected from the auto industry, slashing standards that require automakers to produce fleets that average nearly 55 mpg by 2025. Instead, the Trump rule would bring that number down to about 40 mpg by 2026, bringing mileage below what automakers have said is possible for them to achieve.

Trump's idea about consumer choice is a fantasy. They want SUVs and trucks.

The Trump administration has argued that cutting Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards will allow automakers to produce cheaper cars, something they say will save 3,300 lives as lower prices spur consumers to upgrade to new vehicles with better safety features that guzzle less gas than older models....

There is a good essay about White Supremacists at the Center for American Progress.

...There is little new in the ideas (click here) that underpin white nationalism, white supremacy, the alt-right, and fascism. At its core, white nationalism is little more than an attempt to cloak white supremacist ideas in the more respectable language of racial separatism, just as the alt-right has tried to repackage fascist thought in a more modern form. All these variants are built on common notions of a white identity and racial superiority. They promote hate and violence as valid political tools, rejecting values of equality, coexistence, and the rule of law in favor of raw power and ethnic division....
