Like we seen at the last election, people with accusations against Trump will be given wall-to-wall coverage, whereas the Reades of this world can go back to the drawing board as they seek justice for alleged assaults.
After Donald Trump, at least partly to distract from his own failures over Coronavirus, announced last night that he would be defunding the World Health Organisation, the reaction in Ireland was pretty much exactly what you would expect. “An indefensible decision”, pronounced Simon Coveney, accusing the US President of “undermining trust” in the WHO: This […]
In fairness, there’s not a lot the international community can do about this. The Moon, as we all know, is sovereign American territory, boldly claimed by the late Neal Armstrong, who planted the American flag in it. It’s theirs, by right of conquest. And now, finally, an American President is going to make some money […]
Love him or loathe him, he’s right here: “The WHO really blew it,” Mr Trump said in a Twitter post. “For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China-centric. We will be giving that a good look. “Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why […]
We’re obviously all looking for some good news and there is in fact some good news here, but as with all good coronavirus news, it should be treated with extreme caution, unfortunately. The American Federal Drug Agency (FDA) has approved the use of two anti-malarial drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, for the treatment of Coronavirus after […]
An amusing little tidbit, and a useful follow up and riposte to Gordon Brown’s call this morning for a one world government to tackle the global crisis. The G7, the group of the world’s seven most powerful economies, has been in talks over the last few days about a global response to the Coronavirus, but […]
You always know it’s something he feels strongly about when the tweet appears in capital letters: WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, […]
President Donald Trump has said the anti-malarial drug chloroquine should be given to coronavirus patients after early indications that it had helped cure and reduce the average hospitalization times of Covid-19 patients during a recent trial.
Bernie Sanders has announced he will return to his home-state of Vermont to “assess his campaign” with supporters after significant losses to Joe Biden in recent primary contests.
As we noted on Friday, former Vice President Joe Biden was expected to triumph in Saturday’s South Carolina primary, and sure enough, triumph he did. His victory was not a surprise – but the margin of it certainly was: Former Vice President Joe Biden had a big night in South Carolina, showing his promised strength […]
Former US Vice President Joe Biden holds an interesting and unenviable record. He’s run for President of the United States three times – 1988, 2008, and now in 2020. And in those three campaigns, he has never won a single primary. Not one, not ever. Since entering the present contest as the frontrunner, he’s had […]
The American Democratic Party has something of a dilemma, as its primary season to select a candidate to take down Donald Trump kicks into high gear: Do they want to select the candidate best placed to beat Trump, or do they want a candidate who says everything they want to hear? Do they marry the […]
