UPDATE: Former Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini Calls for Top WHO Official’s Resignation After Violent Threats on Trump

We reported earlier today that Walter Ricciardi is a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) European Advisory Committee for Health Research.

He also somehow is a member of the National Board of Medical Examiners for the United States of America, despite the fact that he is an Italian:

How disgusting. These far left globalists are violent fascists.

A few hours ago, former Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini called for Ricciardi’s resignation. Salvini said (translated):

“He (Ricciardi) is insulting President Trump. Italian Government must dismiss him and apologize to the USA, which is helping Italy with millions of euros”.

Non ne ha azzeccata una sul Virus e adesso insulta pure Trump!

Che il governo lo cacci e chieda scusa agli Stati Uniti, che peraltro stanno mandando aiuti per decine di milioni di euro. pic.twitter.com/zP5ut6EgVy

China Billionaire Undermines US Food Supply – Shuts Down Pork Plants in Multiple States – But Beef Packers Not Affected for Some Strange Reason?

China owned US pork producer, Smithfield Foods, shut down its operations in South Dakota recently due to the coronavirus.

Actions like this lead to many wondering if China is attempting to undermine the US food supply.

As we previously reported the pork producer warned of meat shortages in the US following their plant shutdowns.

It is interesting that the beef packing plants are not facing a similar crisis.

NBC News reported a couple of days ago that Smithfield Foods, was shutting down two more pork producing plants in the US due to the coronavirus:

Exclusive — Kevin McCarthy: China’s Lies, Democrats’ Gamesmanship Combine to Harm American Health, Economy in Coronavirus Crisis

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News on Saturday a brutal combination of Chinese Communist Party lies and Democrat political gamesmanship led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have combined to inflict serious health and economic pain on the American people.

In an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, McCarthy lit into China for lying to the world about the virus thereby unleashing it upon the planet—and into Democrats particularly Pelosi for holding up economic aid for American workers and families.

Pelosi continues to refuse to replenish the funds in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Small Business Administration (SBA) loan system that Congress already authorized on a near-unanimous basis last month after the funds have run out. President Donald Trump’s administration has already given out the original $350 billion in loans to small businesses allocated in the program, but Democrats at Pelosi’s direction are refusing to help more small businesses in need.

‘Let us work’ protests spread all across the US this weekend; demonstrators labeled as ‘far-right’

As protests against coronavirus-based lockdowns continue spreading across the country (and globe), authorities are growing increasingly despotic and arguably fascist in their enforcement of “stay-at-home” orders, with police in one community arresting a woman for simply planning a protest.

That woman, Kim Pagan of New Jersey, reportedly faces charges for “organizing a prohibited event” that involved protesters gathering in order “to demonstrate against” Gov. Phil Murphy‘s potentially unconstitutional coronavirus restrictions.

“Pagan has to answer to the charge in Muncipal Court. Violations of emergency orders constitute a disorderly persons offense carrying a potential sentence of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine,” Fox News reported.

US virus numbers now include probable cases without tests

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. tally of coronavirus cases and deaths could soon jump because federal health officials will now count illnesses that are not confirmed by lab testing.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told states Tuesday to include probable COVID-19 cases in their reports to the agency. Previously, most states reported only lab-confirmed cases and deaths.

The change hasn’t caused U.S. counts to rise much faster than they had been, but officials in some states said they were just learning about the change. Pennsylvania, for example, has begun to follow the CDC and expand its reporting, Dr. Rachel Levine, the state’s secretary of health, said in a Wednesday call with reporters.

Anti-Trump celebrities now targeting Trump supporters

Backlash often depends on contextual details of artist's audience and current projects.

Celebrities use the media to hawk their projects, from warbling with James Corden on Carpool Karaoke to over sharing in magazine interviews. Call it Promotion 101.

That time-tested technique took a curious turn during the Trump presidency. Some stars not only trashed President Donald Trump in various media outlets, they took their anger out on his voting block, also known as roughly half the country.

That tone intensified during the current pandemic, showing some stars don’t mind chasing away fans for voting a certain way.

48 dead at NY Jewish nursing home where carer says staff wear bags – report

Spokesperson for Parker Jewish Institute denies claim, says there is enough protective gear for workers; official death toll for center stands at 38

According to the official numbers, as of Wednesday, 38 residents of one Jewish nursing home were recorded as having died of COVID-19.

However, the Daily Beast reported, the death toll at the facility is in fact 48, with the outlet’s correspondent tweeting Saturday that according to an internal list at Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, the death toll may even be as high as 57 as of Saturday.

US National Debt Skyrockets to Levels Unseen Since WWII Amid COVID-19 Shutdown

The United States government and the Federal Reserve have taken unprecedented fiscal measures to keep the economy afloat and prevent a new Depression in recent weeks, introducing round after round of new spending and loan guarantees to the tune of trillions of dollars.

The US’s national debt and American corporate debt have hit record levels thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, with fears growing that liabilities soon may reach a “tipping point” that the country may find impossible to dig out of, the Washington Post has reported, citing multiple economists and bank analysts.

Congress and the Federal Reserve have moved to inject over $6 trillion in stimulus spending into the economy in recent weeks to deal with the economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with much of the money going to corporations and big banks, while ordinary Americans get one-time $1,200 checks and promises of free hospital visits if they have the coronavirus.

It's Full Speed Ahead for GOP Congressional Probes into Origins of Russia Investigation

Lost in the coronavirus crisis and Congress's multi-trillion-dollar bailout of Americans has been some shocking revelations about the FBI's actions in starting the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to the Kremlin.

Recently declassified footnotes in the inspector general's report on FISA abuses show the FBI to have knowingly disseminated Russian disinformation using the Steele Dossier as part of the basis for beginning the investigation. This has given new impetus to Senate investigations into how the effort to tie the Trump campaign to Russian intelligence got it so wrong.

Senators Charles Grassley and Ron Johnson issued a joint statement pledging to use their committee's subpoena power to get to the bottom of what happened.
