Let’s not be too hard on our commander in chief for his slow response to the corona virus pandemic. Administration health experts warned him of the looming dangers of COVID-19. President Trump assumed they were warning him about Covfefe-19, which, as everyone knows, is an inert gaseous substance with little adverse consequence.

  1. The U.S. government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been accused of trying to create a new class of biological weapons that would be delivered via virus-infected insects.

    The Insect Allies program was announced by DARPA in 2016. It is a research project that aims to protect the U.S. agricultural food supply by delivering protective genes to plants via insects, which are responsible for the transmission of most plant viruses. Scientists believe loading the bugs up with viruses that would offer plants protective benefits could be one way of ensuring food security in the event of a major threat.

    In an editorial published in the journal Science, a group of researchers led by Richard Guy Reeves, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany, says Insect Allies isn’t exactly what it says it is. Instead, they claim DARPA is potentially developing insects as a means of delivering a “new class of biological weapon.”

  2. There’s something strangely missing from this epidemic.

    Evangelical’s bullhorn had Ronald Reagan’s attention in dismissing the AIDS epidemic as “God’s wrath”.

    They still have an ally in the White House, yet, they are oddly silent about God’s righteous smiting of old white people for burning blood-drenched oil in their aimless RV’s, for appearing in ads for reverse mortgages, driving antique gas-hogs in parades and worst of all, voting republican.

  3. Is a joke, isn’t it?
    I didn’t quite understand the blah blah blah but sounds like a joke.
    “Commander in chief” and I was laughing my … off already.
