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.

Oh, that smarts! Roger Stone sentenced; will likely never see a day in jail. Aftermath of Las Vegas Pageant leaves Bloomberg in a heap, but still with a heap of cash. Amy Klobuchar gets savaged both by Warren and Pete. And now we find out Nitwit Nero ran off his last acting DNI because he obeyed the law and briefed Congress, telling them that Mother Russia is still trying to meddle in the election in favor of Julius Geezer. Thursday night in Colorado, he said he’d leave office “in 26 years.” 

Glory! Peter had a sword, but preachers have GUNS. Catholic kids have better morals than their Bishop. Nazi preacher says trans people are Zionist tools. These are the beating heart of the GOP. P.S. Another case of presidential bribery, an impeachable offense to everyone save Republicans.

Titanic Tuesday meets “Day of the Dirtbags.” Nitwit Nero pardons or commutes sentences of people who did the same kind of shady crap he does on the daily. Perfect timing: journal publishes report of excavation into an English  mass grave from the Plague. Tom Cotton: dangerous idiot. Bankrupt Boy Scouts. Because child rape. Alleged intellectual thinks we can frack our way out of the Climate Emergency. 

Oh, the morans! We begin back in Iowa with a Washington Post breakdown of the Carcass moranity. Moran follower of the Prince of Peace wants god to smite Pete dead for being all gay. How Rush Limbaugh ruined a movie for me. HINT: Call him “Buffalo Rush.” Beware of the urge to worship any candidate. It will not end well. It never has.

There’s a $200 challenge on the table through 9 a.m. EST 18 February 2020 with $165 remaining. Please help us meet it by clicking here.

Whoa! Epic Valentine’s Day Extended FotFP! Un-fettered women! DougieDog Collins fantasizes on the House floor. Dennis Prager yearns to be free to speak the word he yearns to speak! Are all billionaires alike? Nitwit Nero looks to consolidate power. Precious Lindsey moves to investigate Obama.
