Sick Caesar says the Coronavirus is “violent.” He also says a hospital ship that’s under repair is on its way to New York. Nothing makes MAGATS happy like a big ol’ whoppin’ dose of racism, thus, Republicans double down on “Chinese Virus” because Covid Caligula says it’s “accurate.” Congress gets its first member with the bug. We get a call from a scientist working on things connected to the outbreak. You won’t hear what he has to say anywhere else. Nihilism takes root among college kids on Spring Break. 

West Virginia finally finds its first case of COVID-19, even as Sick Caesar applauds WV for not having it. Everything he touches, everything he mentions, goes to hell. Velveeta King tells Fox audience that Coronavirus is a “bioweapon.” Social media influencer tries to launch the Coronavirus Challenge by licking a toilet seat. There is massive stupidity in Murkkka and it’s a force multiplier for the disease. WV Governor Big Ol’ Jim Justice holds a press conference, tells WVians to “be smart, stay apart.” Oh, we’ll be coming apart, alright! WV has a more at risk population across the board than almost any other state, and I explain why.

C’mon and hang out! The program is live, even if you’re taking it in delay. #SocialDistancing means there’s a place to talk. You’re welcome here. What an awesome conversation this evening! Dan and Helene Fisher bring their reality. You bring yours! #DonaldTrumpIsTheVirus

An epic and informative Front Porch roundtable! Behold the Governor of the State of West Virginia. FoxNooz resurrects the racism, bigotry, and xenophobia of the “yellow peril.” Covid Caligula goes the White House rose garden, shakes hands all around, and likely infects everyone near him . . . cuz it’s a solid bet he has it. He was huffing and puffing throughout his madman maunderings. He also declared a “National Day of Prayer” for this Sunday, thereby insuring that churches will become the single largest vector for the spread of the disease. This Sunday morning, do what I’m going to do and check to see how many cars are in church parking lots. That will show you who’s spreading the disease.

Market runs through $1T like a meth head with a $100 bill, wants more. Coronavirus exposes the fragility of our modern society. COVID Caligula’s speech falls flat, kills Market. Market moving toward erasing Trump from its history. Toilet Paper Mania reaches the hills and hollers of Appalachia.

Keeping up with the Coronavirus. Nitwit Nero gets snippy over a question about his response to it. Congressman challenges Dr. Fauci to fact-check Trump in real time to keep him being a vector for the transmission of deadly dumbassery. MAGAT broadcaster not worried about COVID-19; instead frets about the “Homovirus.” We learn where Corona Caligula got the notion that a vaccine is just around the corner. Gospel Sharp claims “honoring Israel” will keep America from being more than “marginally affected” by the pandemic; calls for the west coast to suffer for not being sufficiently theocratic fascists. Why are people hoarding toilet paper?

Eeek! I just discovered one of the titanicest of all the Titanic white-wing intellects I’ve ever witnessed and . . . wow. Words fail. Well, not really, but OMG. If we are to understand her barking mad maunderings as being even remotely indicative of the MAGAT approach to the Coronavirus, we’re more than a little screwed. Speaking of which, where was Viral Vespasian during this evening’s episode of “Mike and the Really Bad Coronavirus Response?” No, really. He ran away from the last two press conferences. This evening, he didn’t show at all. It’s like it’s the 1970s when we used to speculate on the whereabouts of the Soviet Premier. Oh, well, at least they have a plan to save the fracking industry.

Welcome back to a live program today! We’ve been off for a while due to life issues that we all face from time to time and we’re happy to be back and ready to catch up, if that’s at all possible, with current events and what history has in common with our present.

Thank you in advance for your patients and your support. We’re all in this together and in that comes change.

The market gets a sucking chest wound. Coronavirus proves capable of jumping to MAGATS. They apparently smollicked all over each other at CPAC & AIPAC and now they’re self-quarantining and Disease Donnie is, according to one source, “melting down.”

But all’s well! Just ask Mike Pence-ilneck Geek. Or don’t. He can’t seem to give a straight answer. Odd, for a fellow as straight as he tries to appear.

Wow! A vigorous Front Porch featuring, of course, COVID-19, but also the deep and abiding grief at seeing a viable woman run out of the Presidential contest. What do we mean when we say “We need a woman president?” Would Ivanka be OK? How about Nikki Haley? Will that advance the cause of feminism? Had John McCain prevailed in 2008, dropped dead and made Sarah Palin POTUS, would that have been a great leap for womankind? 

P.S. CDC advises older, sicker Americans to start limiting their exposure to groups of people.

Nitwit Nero suggests people are going to work with the Coronavirus; then whines to Sean “Life Support System For a Haircut” Hannityjob that he didn’t say what he obviously said. MAGAT in North Carolina questions the existence of the virus . . . because she “don’t trust Democrats.”

Do yourself a favor and spend 45 minutes with this Australian documentary on the Coronavirus.

While we were all breathlessly watching the two soon-to-be-octogenarians duke it out on SuperTuesday, the MAGAT Regime quietly went about its mission of unleashing more poison into our communities. One case in particular hits home in a most painful way. Beyond that, well, Nitwit Nero wants to touch himself again. Roytollah Moore didn’t finish in the teens like he wanted down in Talabama way. The Ides of March make a new appearance in Italy. In New Zealand a gospel sharp indentifies squadrons of demons carrying the Coronoavirus. Pat Robertson laughs at a scared 16 year old little girl. Because Gawd is luvvvv, y’all!

A clip of some of Chris Matthews’ creepier moments. Bye, Chris! Nitwit Nero & Maga Mike clamp down on desperately needed information about COVID-19. Fox’s Brit Hume displays a taste for vinyl. Candace Owens decides to teach the MAGATS at CPAC all about ancient MesoAmerican culture. Tornadoes ravage Tennestan, wipe out church.

Moran Monday! BUT HER EMAILS rears its ugly head once again, thanks to a Reagan appointee. Coronavirus carries a hefty financial wallop. Infectee goes walkabout in San Antonio. Pete, Amy, and Tom all bail. Pence leads a prayer circle of old, white men to stop COVID-19. Chris Matthews bids adieu after a long career as a creepy old dude. Also: bonus possum!

Friday-on-the-Front-Porch, COVID Edition.

Guess who’s in charge of keeping the scientists muzzled? You won’t like it, but you won’t be surprised. A country with no real regard for people who can’t go to the doctor when they’re sick can’t be expected to handle a pandemic with any degree of competence. Let’s be clear: we face the harvest of a hateful crop the for-profit healthcare executives have sown for decades and 38%-ish of Murkkka is vibrating near a fever pitch . . . and they have a ton of guns.

CoronaCare. Is anyone else thinking about it outside our little far-sighted community? What will happen to the babies in our concentration camps when COVID-19 reaches them?

Who knew a respiratory virus could make a stock market so sick? Let the bungling commence. Navy ships in the Pacific under 14-day quarantine. Japan closes schools. QAnon MAGAT blames Great Britain for trying to “take out the Trump economy.” HHS Health personnel were sent into contact with potential virus carriers at California Air Force bases with neither training nor appropriate gear. At least one person went back to a hotel every night and then flew home from California on a commercial jetliner. Health official muzzled by Trump Regime. This is working out well . . . 

Prayer Meetin’ Wednesday, Coronavirus edition. The Gospel Sharps are busy figuring out their n-COVID angles. Pray it away? TELL the Eternal what to do? Graphics-as-vaccine? West Virginia moves to make “Biblical History” (a contradiction in terms) a permissible class in public schools. Nitwit Nero holds a press conference. Only the MAGATS will buy into the con.

Want to help keep independent liberal, progressive radio on the air? It’s pretty easy!

Dam-draining in California, versus damnation in Appalachia. Guess who loses? Health officials warn the U.S. isn’t ready for the Coronavirus. Nitwit Nero says everything is fine, but it doesn’t jibe with his hissy over Ebola in 2014. How do we know he won’t take the $2.5 BN for nCOVID and spend it on his stupid wall? 

Come one, come all who walk or crawl to Moran Monday! Tweety seeks a historical comparison, fails moranically. Nitwit Nero embarrasses the U.S. in India; crowds walk out as he mangles their country, history, and heritage. Chrissie Hynde tweets at Trump for a pardon for Assange (which had already been offered). At The Movies with Bob & Agnes as we watched “Gone With the Wind” through the lens of Julius Geezer pining for it last week on Twitter. It’s sobering to realize that two of Hollywood’s most profound examples of cinematographic art in the first half of the 20th century were paeans to white supremacy.

It’s a short broadcast week as we bring February to its merciful end. We’ve got $945 to raise between now and the end of Wednesday’s program, since I’ll be away from the mic to go and visit with Mike, Kathy, and Molly Malloy. If you’d like to help out, please click this here linky so we can finish February even.

The mass murderer in Germany was a Trump fan . . . because of course. What did the Framers say about a President who would use the pardon power to protect a criminal crony? Virginia MAGAT takes his gun to town and threatens a broadcast colleague from years back. Greyhound to ICE & CBP: “Get off the damned bus!” We’re living in a live-action Pink Floyd album.
