★★★ A NEW CONSERVATIVE AGE IS RISING ★★★
The Anti-Trump Resistance COLLAPSES as President Trump UNMASKS the Unmaskers, that’s what we’ll be talking about on today’s video. That’s right, the coup attempt against President Trump has failed, it has faltered, it has imploded, and we’re going to look at how President Trump is exposing the Deep State like never before, and one Joe Biden turns out to be literally at the center of it all; you’re going to absolutely love it!
The Biden Campaign is a TOTAL DISASTER! Dems Fear TRAIN WRECK In November!!! ★★★ A NEW CONSERVATIVE AGE IS RISING ★★★
The Joe Biden Campaign is a TOTAL DISASTER; that’s what we’ll be talking about on today’s video. That’s right, there’s really no way around that; even liberals are admitting it; that’s why so many Democrats want a new candidate! We’re going to take a look at 4 signs that all indicate that the upcoming November election promises nothing short of a train wreck for the Biden campaign, and in turn, a significant victory of the one and only Donald J. Trump; you’re going to love it!
After Chernobyl, the Communist Party leadership redirected milk and other food products coming out of the area to other parts of the Soviet Union while making sure that they bypassed Moscow.
Democrat governors in New York, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, and a number of other states directed nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients. But did they leave their own parents and grandparents exposed to the killing fields they unleashed?
A state senator from Franklin County has called for the immediate resignation of Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Richard 'Rachel' Levine, saying his actions were a major factor in the large number of covid-19 cases and deaths in the state’s nursing homes.
Sen. Doug Mastriano, a first-term Republican representing Franklin, Adams and a part of York counties, said Levine has committed the equivalent of policy malpractice in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, specifically in his handling of the virus’s spread through nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
Mastriano specifically targeted Levine for a policy which called for nursing home and long-term care patients who had been hospitalized after testing positive for covid-19 to be returned to their homes when they were ready for release from hospitals. Mastriano said that contributed to major outbreaks in numerous nursing homes around the state.
“Our secretary of health, Dr. Levine, decided that it would be good to allow covid-positive patients to be returned to elder-care facitlies. And as a result of that, it broke out like fire,” Mastriano said during a Monday rally with constituents at the base of the Capitol steps.
But the good doctor made damn sure to keep his own mother out of the killing fields.
While Levine beefs up rules and oversight at nursing homes and long-term care facilities, ABC27 learned the health secretary’s mother recently vacated a personal care home in the Midstate.
“My mother requested, and my sister and I as her children complied to move her to another location during the Covid-19 outbreak,” Levine said. “My mother is 95 years old. She is very intelligent and more than competent to make her own decisions.”
Many in Harrisburg wondered what kind of message it sends — when a close relative of the person tasked with overseeing those types of facilities doesn’t choose to stay in one. Levine countered that she is working to protect the health of all Pennsylvanians.
Dr. Levine will kill your grandma, but make sure that hers is taken care of.
Governor Tom Wolf is backing Dr. Levine to the hilt.
“Dr. Levine has done a phenomenal job of making sure that we do what we need to do in keeping Pennsylvanians safe,” Wolf said. “I think it’s a tribute to her that Pennsylvania has actually done a better job than many of our surrounding states in terms of the infection rate and the death rate.”
Hell of a job, Wolf and Levine.
To date, state figures show that nursing homes residents have accounted for 2,529 of the state’s 3,707 reported covid-19 deaths. That is a pattern that has been echoed in most states across the country, however.
In a policy guidance issued in March, the Health Department stated, in part:
“Nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable to alleviate the increasing burden in the acute care settings. This may include stable patients who have had the covid-19 virus.”
There ought to be trials for these people.
Health Department Press Secretary Nate Wardle said there were valid reasons for that policy and challenged Mastriano’s interpretation of the data.
In most cases, Wardle said, individuals being readmitted to a long-term care facility from the hospital with covid-19 would be those who would have had covid-19 before they were sent to the hospital,. In these cases, the readmitted resident would not be introducing it to the facility, if they already had covid-19 and needed more acute care at the hospital.
This is a ridiculous argument.
Even if the resident already had been infected while in the home, and we're far from certain of that, reintroducing that resident to the facility increases the risk of coronavirus spreading to staff and other residents.
Dr. Richard Levine's policy did not require facilities to only accept coronavirus patients if there were previous cases at that facility, so this rationalization is dishonest garbage. Like anything and everything that comes out of Governor Wolf's grandma killing administration.

(Christian News Network)— Disgust is being expressed after “drag queen” RuPaul of the long-running television show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” chose Planned Parenthood as his recipient “charity” for an episode of “The Price Is Right.” The game show, which matched the value of the prizes with a donation to the guest’s organization of choice, ended up giving $97,266 to the contraception and abortion giant.
“So, Ru, you’re going to be playing for charity,” outlined host Drew Carey on the May 11 broadcast. “All throughout the show, you’re going to be playing alongside the contestants, and whatever [this contestant wins] and the rest of the contestants win, we’re going to match and give to a special charity that Ru is playing for.”
“That’s right,” RuPaul, whose full name is RuPaul Charles, responded with enthusiasm. “What’s the charity?” Carey asked.
“Well, I am playing for Planned Parenthood, which provides vital and often free services to both men and women,” Charles advised, generating cheers and applause.
As contestants won vehicles, vacations, cash and other prizes, the total value matched to Planned Parenthood was nearly $100K.
“We’re donating $97,266 to Planned Parenthood,” Carey announced at the end of the broadcast.
Some expressed elation that Charles named Planned Parenthood as his selected recipient.
“Way to go Ru Paul and The Price is Right for doing the right thing to protect a women’s right to healthcare. #PriceIsRight #PlannedParenthood,” wrote one commenter on Twitter.
“Learning that @RuPaul was on @PriceIsRight raising money bag for @PPFA (which provides compassionate healthcare to people of all genders) makes me actually wanna start watching #PriceIsRight. Thanks, RuPaul, for supporting women, queer, and trans folks’ access to care,” another remarked.
However, others expressed disgust that the popular game show gave money to an organization that murders unborn children.
“Tell me I’m wrong, but ‘The Price is Right’ is a disgrace. They raised $97,000+ for Planned Parenthood with their evening show tonight. How many lives will be lost because if this?” one commenter posted to Twitter.
“@PriceIsRight Great, you gave a pile of money to baby killers. Isn’t that special,” another remarked.
As previously reported, according to Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report, the organization performed a record number of abortions during the 2018-2019 fiscal year, as 345,672 babies were murdered in their mother’s womb, up 12,915 from the year prior and up 24,288 from two years ago.
The organization focuses on sexual activity, testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), distributing contraceptives and performing pap smears to check for cervical cancer.
Many of its locations now offer services to help those who identify as homosexual and transgender, which could be part of the reason why RuPaul selected the organization as his “charity” of choice for “The Price Is Right.”
RuPaul identifies as homosexual himself and has been in a relationship with another man, Georges LeBar, since 1994.
Attached to each bag was card announcing “Happy Valentines Day and National Condom Day” and featuring sayings on the graphics of candy hearts, such as “access is sweet,” “expand not ban” and “stand with PP.”
As previously reported, in 2018, Planned Parenthood of New York City launched a “Freedom to [Expletive]” campaign, which included a YouTube video that used 20 expletives in 45 seconds.
“[Expletive] anyone with a washer and dryer in their [expletive] apartment,” “[expletive] your loudest [expletive] upstairs neighbor,” “[expletive] your hottest [expletive] bartender,” the ad stated. “[Expletive] dancers,” “[expletive] anyone in fashion,” “[expletive] a broker,” the ad stated. “[Expletive] New York and everyone in it.”
“Protect our right to [expletive] whoever the [expletive] we want,” it concluded. “Donate to PPNYC …”
A description of the video on the PPNYAction YouTube page also proudly touted that “New Yorkers have more sex than the rest of America.”
The video was later deleted.
Scripture speaks about fornication in numerous texts, teaching in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication, that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.”
Ephesians 5:3 also exhorts, “But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.”
Hebrews 13:4 likewise warns, “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”
Romans 3:18 simply laments, “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Tell me I’m wrong but The Price is Right is a disgrace. They raised $97,000+ for Planned Parenthood with their evening show tonight. How many lives will be lost because if this? They celebrate the deaths.

DEDHAM, Mass. (Christian News Network) — A Baptist church in Massachusetts was recently issued a cease and desist order from local officials who learned that it planned to resume holding Sunday services. Officials assumed that, by announcing services at all, the church planned on violating the 10-person limit on in-person gatherings. A religious liberties organization has now written to the Town to note that the pastor has done nothing wrong but is in compliance with the governor’s order as he clearly and specifically advised that each service would be limited to less than 10 people.
On May 3, Nick White, the pastor of Victory Baptist Church in Dedham, announced in a recorded video that in-person services were to resume on May 10. The small church of less than 40 people utilizes a dance studio for its meetings.
“We are doing this with the right mentality,” he told viewers. “[W]e are not doing this to ‘stick it to the man.’ We’re not doing this to stick our noses up at the government and just try be anarchists. We’re not doing this to rebel. We’re doing this because we have a biblical mandate to gather.”
“And we’re going to be doing it very respectfully,” White continued. “The Bible says to live peaceably with all men and that is our goal in this: to live peaceably with everyone around us and not be a bad testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ.”
He outlined that he tentatively planned two services and that the gatherings would be limited to fewer than 10 people each as Gov. Charlie Baker’s executive order requires. White asked for people to sign up in advance so appropriate planning could take place.
“I don’t know what to expect. I don’t know if we’re going to have 20, 30, 40 sign up,” he said. “If we have more than 20 sign up, we’ll go to three services. If we have 40 sign up, we’ll go to four services.”
Each person would be scanned with a forehead thermometer before being allowed to enter and attendees would be required to wear a mask and gloves. Services would also be kept no longer than an hour, and a deep sanitization would be conducted between services.
“We want to be sure everyone is safe. We want to be sure to protect everyone in the church,” White explained. “This disease is serious, and we want to take it seriously.”
View the video in full at the end of this report.
Nonetheless, White received a cease and desist order from the Town of Dedham days later stating that because the church was “observed advertising for services,” they were mandated to cease operations until Gov. Baker’s order expires. The Town seemed to automatically assume that the church, by announcing services at all, would be in violation of the in-person gathering limit.
White was warned that the Town could take the church to court over the matter.
“[O]n March 23, 2020, the governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued an order assuring continued operation of essential services in the Commonwealth, closing certain workplaces, and prohibiting gatherings of more than 10 people,” the Town wrote.
“Whereas Victory Baptist Church is not a business providing essential services pursuant to Exhibit A of COVID-19 Order No. 13 and … on May 6, 2020 was observed advertising for services to be held on May 10, 2020 in violation of COVID-19 Order No. 13,” it continued, “you are hereby ordered to immediately cease and desist from operating Victory Baptist Church until such time as the governor rescinds COVID-19 Order No. 13.”
On Wednesday, the religious liberties organization Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) submitted a letter to the Town of Dedham to demand that it rescind its order as the church did nothing wrong.
“Pastor Nick White made clear in the online announcement that the May 10 services would be limited to ‘under 10 people’ per service to ‘comply with the guidelines that … Governor Baker has set forth for the state of Massachusetts,'” it wrote.
Furthermore, “[n]ot only did Victory Baptist express its intent to fully honor the executive order, it imposed conditions on itself well beyond those required under the executive order for any 10-person gathering, whether secular or religious,” ADF noted.
The organization advised that the church did not end up having services after all — most likely because of the town’s letter — but plans to this weekend. It asked that the Town rescind its order no later than Thursday in recognition that the church is not violating the governor’s order.
“While prudence may dictate that people of faith adapt the nature of their gatherings in situations like this one — precisely what Victory Baptist did — it is also incumbent on the government to know the law sufficiently to refrain from unlawfully harassing its citizens,” ADF wrote.
“[W]e demand that the board and the Town of Dedham rescind the order [to cease and desist] by 12:00 p.m. on May 14, 2020 and refrain from further harassment of this church,” it said.
“It makes no sense for the Town of Dedham to demand that this church refrain from meeting with 10 or fewer people when the governor’s executive order explicitly allows that gathering size,” senior counsel Ryan Tucker, who penned the letter, said in a statement. “The only apparent explanation is that the Town wants to harass this church.”

Approximately 200 Delawareans will be hired as contact tracers
WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney on Tuesday announced that the State of Delaware entered into an agreement with the nonpartisan research institution NORC at the University of Chicago to build Delaware’s statewide contact tracing program, to contain COVID-19, limit Delawareans’ exposure to the disease, and restart Delaware’s economy.
The contact tracing program builds on Delaware’s statewide plan to test up to 80,000 Delawareans monthly for COVID-19. Expanded testing and contact tracing efforts are key to reopening Delaware’s economy under guidance from the White House and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
NORC also has partnered with the State of Maryland to perform contact tracing. Delaware and Maryland will share information to more effectively monitor COVID-19’s spread across state lines.
Approximately 200 Delawareans will be hired as contact tracers and support staff.
Applications for contact tracers and other associated positions will be posted at de.gov/coronavirus in the coming weeks.
“To safely reopen our economy, we need to be able to quickly identify positive COVID-19 cases and reach out to those residents who may have been exposed. This contact tracing program brings us one step closer to returning Delaware to a new normal,” said Governor Carney. “We’ve been working with Maryland to coordinate our reopening efforts, and this partnership will build on that collaboration. Going forward, hiring a contact tracing workforce of Delawareans that reflects the diversity of our state will be a top priority.”
“This is a critically important complement to the statewide testing plan the Governor announced last week and the two plans are really integrally linked,” said DPH Director Dr. Karyl Rattay. “Contact tracing is a basic public health practice for containing an epidemiological event by talking with the person who is infected and reaching out to their contacts in order to decrease transmission. It will help us track positive cases of COVID-19 and limit the spread of the virus both short-term and long-term.”
“One of our highest priorities is making sure that our workforce of contact tracers reflects the entire community we serve,” saidDepartment of Health and Social Services (DHSS) Secretary Dr. Kara Odom Walker, a practicing family physician. “When positive cases of COVID-19 are identified through widespread community testing, our tracers will need to work quickly to talk with known contacts and help them self-quarantine with any necessary supports.”
“We are proud to be part of Delaware’s solution for COVID contact tracing during this critical time in the state’s history,” said David Cotton, PhD, NORCs project director for this effort. “We are bringing to bear our decades of experience with high volume, scientifically rigorous data collection and public health expertise to help the State and DHSS stem the tide of new infections.”
Over the next week – as the State of Delaware scales up its contact tracing operation – 100 members of the Delaware National Guard will embed with the Division of Public Health to begin wide-scale, statewide contact tracing.
National Guardsmen and women began their training on Monday.
“I’m proud of our Delaware National Guard Citizen Soldiers and Airmen who volunteered to serve the state in this mission,” said Major General Michael R. Berry, Adjutant General of the Delaware National Guard. “Our Guardsmen and women live in these communities and are best positioned to assist DPH with such a critical role to help fight the spread of COVID-19 in Delaware.”
Under Delaware’s contact tracing program, Delawareans who have tested positive for COVID-19 should expect a phone call from a case investigator asking for information which includes a list of the person’s known contacts. Contact tracers will then reach out to each of those contacts to help them safely quarantine, to find alternate arrangements as necessary, and to help them get tested for COVID-19, if recommended.
Delawareans who need extra support to safely self-quarantine – such as grocery delivery or alternative housing – will be referred to a network of local community health workers. Healthy Communities Delaware will coordinate the community health worker effort, in partnership with community-based organizations.
“Healthy Communities Delaware believes that using community-based partnerships and providing necessary and life-sustaining resources and other social services supports directly to those individuals in vulnerable communities who are most impacted by COVID-19 is paramount in reducing the spread of this disease in our state,” said Rita Landgraf, Managerial Partner for Healthy Communities Delaware, University of Delaware Partnership for Healthy Communities.
The Delaware Department of Technology and Information will work with NORC’s technology partner, Enovational, and the Delaware Health Information Network to build a technology platform that allows the Division of Public Health to efficiently share data with contact tracers.
“Technology has played a critical role during this pandemic to gather, track, and share data,” said Chief Information Officer James Collins of the Delaware Department of Technology and Information. “In the hands of contact tracers, it will be an invaluable force multiplier that helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 and save lives.”
About NORC
From 2015 to 2020, NORC has conducted more than 3 million hours of telephone interviews. A significant portion of those interviews were in support of major public health-related studies such as the National Immunization Survey, which NORC conducts for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, which NORC conducts for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, which NORC conducts for the National Institutes of Health.
Many of these studies involve nuanced, carefully scripted conversations about sensitive health issues, and interviewees are often members of underrepresented or difficult-to-reach demographic groups. Through these and similar studies, NORC has derived significant methodological expertise, including how best to deploy and integrate different modes of data collection and the technologies that support them.
Anyone with a question about COVID-19, whether related to medical or social service needs, should call Delaware 2-1-1. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can text their ZIP code to 898-211. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Questions can also be submitted by email at DPHCall@delaware.gov
DPH will continue to update the public as more information becomes available. For the latest on Delaware’s response, go to de.gov/coronavirus.
