LUIS LAZARO TIJERINA—Although bitter adversaries, John McCain and Trump had one thing in common — they both detested communism and any form of socialism, and they both were committed to giving arms to the Kiev junta in the Ukraine. Only two days after the murder of rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko, a report in The Guardian stated, “Washington is ready to expand arms supplies to Ukraine in order to build up the country’s naval and air defence forces in the face of continuing Russian support for eastern separatists, according to the US special envoy for Ukraine.”

ERIC ZUESSE—Instead of reporting anything of the actual science, Pien Huang, with the full cooperation of the program host, started and stuck with the assumption that anyone who would be using ivermectin in order to reduce the severity of an active case of covid-19 disease is an ignoramus. (In other words: confirmation-bias was reeking from her presentation.)

They call themselves ‘The Frontline Critical Care Alliance’ and their message has been amplified by some figures on the right. … Misinformation researchers have told me that it’s the latest chapter in a story of right-wing commentators …”

In this video one of the most credible experts on China, Nathan Rich, pushes back against the NYTimes claims about the state of healthcare in China.

Its definition is “to set at liberty,” specifically “to free (something, such as a country) from domination by a foreign power.” We historically associate it with the armed defeat of hostile forces during war, such as the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control during World War II. Just over a year ago, Trump himself announced that “the United States has liberated all ISIS-controlled territory in Syria and Iraq.”

The full video by Dr. David Price of Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City has gone viral. It’s about an hour long. Here’s a much easier to watch, edited, short version with just the most important part – the best advice on how not to get the virus:
