Maine's Democrat Governor Quietly Reverses Course On Hydroxychloroquine

This past week Minnesota became the second state to reject regulations that effectively ban the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine for use by COVID-19 patients…

The decision, which comes two weeks after the Ohio Board of Pharmacy reversed an effective ban of its own, was rightfully praised by local health care advocates.

“We are pleased that Governor [Tim] Walz lifted his March 27 Executive Order 20-23 restrictions on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine,” said Twila Brase, president of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom.

The reversal by Walz, a first-term Democrat, clears the way for doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine, a drug commonly used to treat malaria and other conditions but one the FDA has declined to recommend for COVID-19 treatment.

The decision is the latest development in the weird saga of arguably the most divisive drug in modern history.

The acrimony began in March after President Trump tweeted that hydroxychloroquine had the potential to be “one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine” as a treatment for the coronavirus.

The tweet and similar statements provoked an avalanche of media criticism, with many claiming that the president was going to get people killed. Critics pointed out that medical evidence suggests the medication is linked to a fatal arrhythmia and some trials show no benefits in coronavirus treatments.

Though his critics are likely loath to admit it, there’s reason to believe the president may have been on to something. In recent weeks a chorus of voices in the medical community has emerged to challenge the view that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective as a COVID treatment. Dr. Harvey A. Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, said a full analysis of the literature suggests hydroxychloroquine may be the key to defeating the coronavirus.

“Physicians who have been using these medications in the face of widespread skepticism have been truly heroic,” Risch wrote in Newsweek, adding that a full review of the COVID literature on the drug shows “clear-cut and significant benefits.”

Prescribing hydroxychloroquine in the early stages of the virus is key, Risch said, and others agree. Steven Hatfill, a veteran virologist and adjunct assistant professor at the George Washington University Medical Center, says the literature supporting hydroxychloroquine is overwhelming.

“There are now 53 studies that show positive results of hydroxychloroquine in COVID infections,” Hatfill wrote in RealClearPolitics.

“There are 14 global studies that show neutral or negative results – and 10 of them were of patients in very late stages of COVID-19, where no antiviral drug can be expected to have much effect.”

Former US Attorney Claims Creepy Mueller Gang Leader Andrew Weissmann is Obstructing Justice – He’s Partaking in the Same Crime He Unsuccessfully Attempted to Pin on President Trump

In a twist of reality, Andrew Weissmann, the Mueller gang’s top attorney who couldn’t find crimes of obstruction on President Trump, no matter how hard he tried, is now obstructing justice himself.

Andrew Weissman did all he could to attach a crime to President Trump in the criminal Mueller investigation. For two years, the Mueller gang led by Weissmann harassed the President and worked with the media to attempt to tie the President to Russia and any crimes that they could make stick.

Weissman and gang knew there was no connection to Russia. He knew it was all made up. He was involved in the initial efforts in 2016 to tie Russia to the Trump campaign. It was all a lie as we knew then and now have no doubts after the DOJ IG released a report in late 2019 that confirmed this fact – the Trump – Russia collusion claim was a lie.

The entire event was created to tie an obstruction charge onto the President. Rep. Devin Nunes called it an obstruction trap. In the first month of activity the Mueller team was working on obstruction. Eventually Bill Barr was nominated Attorney General and he ended the criminal investigation. When Weissmann provided the AG the fruits of their criminal coup, he provided two documents – one where the Mueller team claimed there was no Russia collusion and a second where Weissmann claimed the President may have committed obstruction, but they weren’t sure.

AG Barr saw what Weissmann was doing and outsmarted the sleazy prosecutor and ended their attempted to coup. When Weissmann claimed he couldn’t make a decision on obstruction charges, Barr stepped in to claim there were none basing this on the Justice Department’s responsibility to make the call. Boom – the coup was over.

But now Weissman is partaking in crimes that he attempted to tie to President Trump. Weissman claimed President Trump may be guilty of obstruction due to his tweeting that the Mueller team was corrupt. They were corrupt and Trump was right.

Even anti-Trumper Solomon Wisenberg addressed Weissmann’s tweets:

Former US Attorney Joe DiGenova shared today that Weissmann is partaking in the same activities that he attempted to tie to President Trump.

Former US Attorney Joe DiGenova shared today that Weissmann is partaking in the same activities that he attempted to tie to President Trump.

Andrew Weissmann, who was in fact the Mueller Investigation, former Head of the fraud section of the Department of Justice, Obama lackey, Loretta Lynch lackey, comes out and publicly as a former prosecutor asks current DOJ and FBI personnel not to assist John Durham in his investigation of corruption inside the FBI and DOJ. Now I must tell you, I find that to be so blatantly destructive of the core principles of the department that I believe that it borders on obstruction of justice.

Remember how they were critical of President Trump for criticizing the Mueller investigation and they called that obstruction? Believe me, what Weissmann is doing in obstruction.

The problem for Weissmann is that we know what he did last summer.

“They Weren’t Even Aware It Was Here for Months” — SICK — Cuomo Just Lied to the Country About the COVID Pandemic in DNC Speech

So we now know the Democrat plan to win in 2020… Lie to the American people about Trump and blame Europe and not China for the Wuhan coronavirus.

Governor Andrew Cuomo from New York State has the worst coronavirus numbers in the world. The mortality rate in New York is significantly higher than any country in the world today!

As reported earlier according to the Worldometer:

** New York State has 1,692 deaths per one million residents.

** No country comes close to New York state in number of deaths per million residents!

The closest country is Peru that has 796 deaths per million residents!

The actions of New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo have led to thousands of coronavirus deaths in the state.

A memo dated March 25, 2020, ordered state officials to move coronavirus patients to nursing homes.

Israeli airstrikes hit Hamas targets near Rafah crossing in Gaza

The attack was carried out in response to incendiary balloons sent from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory throughout the day.

Israeli aircraft carried out airstrikes on targets in the Gaza Strip in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning, hitting Hamas targets and infrastructure.

The strikes landed near the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, according to Palestinian reports.

"IDF fighter jets and aircraft attacked an underground infrastructure belonging to the Hamas terror organization in the Gaza Strip," the IDF's Spokesperson's Unit said in a statement.

The military added that the attack was carried out in response to incendiary balloons sent from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory throughout the day, in addition to consequent fires in which a children's preschool and some 150 of hectares of agricultural land were burned.

An incendiary balloon landed in front of a Sderot preschool on Monday, starting a fire in the region. While some 35 children attend the preschool on a daily basis, the building suffered structural damage, but was fortunately empty at the time and no injuries were reported, according to Maariv, The Jerusalem Post's sister publication.

Moreover, the airstrikes took place only hours after an Egyptian envoy left the Strip in an attempt to mediate in order to prevent escalation between Hamas and Israel, as well as after the Gazan balloon units threatened on Monday night to "burn everything in the Gaza envelope" on Tuesday.

Israel has launched several attacks on targets in the Hamas-controlled coastal enclave over the past week due to increasing launches of incendiary balloons from the Strip into the South, as well as rocket attacks.

On Sunday, five Israelis were wounded when Hamas fired at rockets towards southern Israel.

Interceptor rocket fragments slammed into the yard of a home in Sderot, damaging the home and injuring a 58-year-old man, the IDF said in a statement at the time.

Two other women were treated for shock, while another two hurt themselves while running to the bomb shelter.

In response to these actions, Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned Hamas on Sunday that the IDF would continue to strike targets in the Strip until all attacks cease.

“Every explosive balloon or rocket landing in Israel, and violating its sovereignty, holds one return address: Hamas. By launching rockets and explosive balloons, the heads of Hamas are undermining the interests of the residents of Gaza and are impairing their ability to live in dignity and security,” he said.
