4 Black Women Who Would Best Serve As Joe Biden’s VP

Wrote this meme up as a joke.

But it's no more absurd than the other selections.

--------------------------

Bernie Sanders dropping out of the 2020 presidential race on Wednesday means the pressure is on for Joe Biden to pick a running mate as he nears towards the Democratic National Convention. Numerous progressive grassroots organizations like She The People, have called for him to choose a viable woman of color as a running mate.

However, choosing a woman of color, does not go far enough, prompting the group to hold a survey rating Black women who would be suitable candidates. We need a Black woman in the passenger seat of our country, to turn the head as the neck.

Black women are not only trendsetters in regards to our hair and “lewks,” we move the needle politically and are a viable force. We are the Democratic party’s most loyal voting block and it’s time they elevate us from the position of props. Just in the past four years Black women have turned the tide in a series of important elections. In 2017, Black women in Alabama came out to elect Senator Doug Jones with an overwhelming 98 percent of the vote. And in 2016, at 94 percent, we backed Hillary Clinton.

Both of these services were done for the greater good, even if the likelihood that we would see some semblance of salvation remained unverified. Black women are the central figures we encounter at our polling locations, out to engage and mobilize the vote. Black women have always done this, along with door to door service, but it’s time to consider our leadership seriously. With health disparities, environmental disruptions, the prison to school pipeline, and economic inequality at stake, we have less time to waste.

Several names of candidates have been tossed around in regards to Joe Biden’s vice president position and there are a few Black women who are more than fit for the job.

(What a joke)

Stacey Abrams

Stacey Abrams may have the least beltway experience than the other possible contenders, but her name in Washington is respected and sought after in regards to voter suppression, (which she experienced firsthand in the 2016 Georgia gubernatorial election), grassroots organizing and years of state legislation experience. She has also met with Biden privately on an occasion prior to his bid announcement. Abrams is a respected organizer and will use her past experience as the leader of the minority leader of the Georgia Assembly to help usher in a wave of progressive policies to help aid in the uplifting of Black women and men everywhere.

Kamala Harris

Think this one has some plausibility. 

I can see Joe sniffing her now.

Harris could use her time in the White House to help reverse the systemic criminal justice policies which routinely disproportionately affect Black men and women, along with other underserved populations. With her experience as the first Black person and first Black woman to hold the position of Attorney General of California and the first Black person elected as the state’s senator, means that Harris will have no issue transitioning to the main stage in Washington.

OMG

Imagine Joe died and this bitch is the new president!!!

Maxine Waters

Auntie Maxine, as we affectionately call her, may feel like a long shot to some, but hear this out. With over 30 years in Washington, and a chair position on the House Financial Services committee, Waters has the connections to mend and forge deals with members of Congress on both sides of the fence. The allocation of funds in Washington routinely support programs and policies which disenfranchise Black communities and Waters can play a crucial element in that reversal. She will undoubtedly have no issue keeping her detractors in check.

Ayanna Pressley

Ayanna Pressley garnered national buzz when she made history as the first Black woman to represent Massachusetts in Congress. Then again as a member of the famed congressional “Squad.” But it was when she pushed women to unapologetically embrace who they were, by disclosing her personal battle with alopecia, that made a personal connection with her supporters. She expressed the night before she voted on the Articles of Impeachment against Trump, that the last of her hair fell out. She uses her personal battles and overcoming of numerous adversities, including her experience as a sexual assault survivor to enlighten with humanity, dignity and assurance.

It’s important to remember that whoever is chosen for the position will hold a force over our country’s legislative branch as president of the Senate.

Although Biden has a surplus of candidates to choose from, these women, before vice presidency was on the table, have gone above and beyond in their roles. They have dedicated their lives to this country and its people. Even when they are the only voice in the room, they choose to call things out, so we as a country can move toward greatness together.

A wake-up call from Marco. 

His assessment of our relationship with China is dead on. Please send this to all your friends. It doesn't matter what party they belong to. When it comes to these lying, slithering, snakes, we're all in the same boat.

Report: Wuhan Funeral Homes Burned Coronavirus Victims Alive

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

My heart says this can’t be true. My brain says it is.

Why would an old lady make up this story?

“One old lady was saying that they put one guy into … a body bag when he wasn’t even dead yet, and took him off to the crematorium because there was no way of saving him,” Ma told RFA.

Video of an older woman speaking anonymously to a camera began circulating on social media in February in which she said she witnessed a patient next to her at a Wuhan hospital stuffed into a body bag while still alive.

“He’s not dead, his feet and hands are still moving,” the woman says, “[They] wrapped him in a plastic body bag and zipped it up.”

Imagine the horror of being zipped in a bag alive, no way out, and finding yourself in an incinerator? 

The bastards are the Nazi's!  

------------------------

Locals in Wuhan, where the Chinese coronavirus pandemic originated, have heard screams coming from funeral home furnaces, and some treated in hospitals say they saw workers put living coronavirus patients in body bags, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported on Monday.

RFA noted that it could not independently verify that the Chinese Communist Party was burning coronavirus patients alive, nor has the Communist Party confirmed or denied the rumors. Yet the rumors persist that, to make room for new patients in Wuhan’s overcrowded hospitals, medical staff chose older patients less likely to survive the infection and shipped them to incinerators while they were still alive and conscious.

RFA quoted a source “close to the funeral industry” identified only as Ma who said that he had heard reports of “people restrained and forced into body bags when they were still moving.”

“Some people are saying that … there are video clips of screams coming from funeral homes, from inside the furnaces … which tells us that some people were taken to the funeral homes while they were still alive,” Ma added.

Ma also noted the existence of video testimony from an anonymous older woman who had been treated at a Wuhan hospital, presumably for Chinese coronavirus.

“One old lady was saying that they put one guy into … a body bag when he wasn’t even dead yet, and took him off to the crematorium because there was no way of saving him,” Ma told RFA.

“He’s not dead, his feet and hands are still moving,” the woman says, “[They] wrapped him in a plastic body bag and zipped it up.”

According to New Tang Dynasty, a broadcaster affiliated with the persecuted Chinese Falun Gong movement, the woman spoke with a Wuhan accent, suggesting she was a native of the central Chinese city.

As one of the commenters said on YouTube this is why they kicked the American journalists out of China.

The Taiwanese outlet Taiwan News traced the origin of the video to a Chinese student group called “Youth Production,” who reportedly uploaded the video on February 24. Taiwan News noted that the woman claimed to have suffered from coronavirus symptoms but, as she was in her 60s, she did not suffer severe symptoms, unlike the man taken away, who she estimated was in his 70s.

“She said that the man was weak but was still breathing when medical workers ‘bound his head’ and then his hands and feet, which were ‘still moving,’” Taiwan News reported, noting that she also lamented that the hospital where she received care had no other treatments available for coronavirus patients besides oxygen. In the West, doctors have begun experimenting with several drug mixtures, one of which — a combination of antibiotics and hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat lupus and malaria — has generated optimism in American hospitals.

The woman said she felt older patients at the hospital were treated “like dead dogs.”

Neither Taiwan News nor RFA could independently confirm the reports of Wuhan residents being burned alive.

The Chinese Communist Party claims that, as of Tuesday, it has documented 82,718 cases of coronavirus nationwide and 3,335 deaths across the country. The vast majority of these, 3,212 deaths, were recorded in Hubei province. Wuhan is the capital of Hubei.

Multiple reports citing sources in Wuhan’s seven funeral homes dispute this claim, estimating that the real death toll in the city is as much as ten times higher than China’s official nationwide death toll. Reports of hundreds of bodies cremated in some funeral homes began surfacing in February, at the height of the epidemic in the city. Government officials did not allow residents to pick up the remains of their relatives until late March, however, as the strict lockdown that saw government officials welding Wuhan residents in their homes was still ongoing.

When the funeral homes opened to distributed ashes two weekends ago, witnesses estimated that some funeral homes were distributing as many as 5,000 sets of remains a day. Estimates as to the number of sets of remains distributed last week in Wuhan range from 30,000 to 46,000 people.

“There are suspicions that many people died in their homes without being diagnosed and, at first, there were no kits to do the test,” an unnamed resident said in a report last week. “Nobody in Wuhan believes the official numbers. The real one, only they know.”

Ma, the funeral home source speaking to RFA in its report on Monday, said that Wuhan was cremating so many bodies at some point that some incinerators broke down, resulting in cremators placing multiple bodies in one incinerator at a time to keep up with the sheer amount of remains. The result has been several reported incidents of people receiving urns with ashes featuring items they do not recognize that clearly did not belong to their loved ones.

“A resident of Wuhan’s Jiang’an district surnamed Liu said she had found a man’s belt clasp in the urn she was given, supposedly containing her mother’s ashes,” RFA noted. “And a resident of Hongshan district said he had found the remains of ceramic dental crown, denture or implant in the urn labeled with his father’s name, even though his father had never had such a thing fitted.”

WHO director faces calls for resignation over handling of coronavirus, China

 An Ethiopian politician, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus  became the first director-general in the World Health Organization who is not a medical doctor.

Then there's this from 5-13-2017:

Candidate to Lead the W.H.O. Accused of Covering Up Epidemics

(Some interesting and laughable things about China in this link too)

Wonder how much China paid him?

As usual this imbecile was barking up the wrong tree.

------------------------------------

Amid persistent criticism that his organization failed to properly oversee China’scoronavirus response and worked to downplay the communist nation’s responsibility for the pandemic, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is facing growing calls for his resignation from American politicians and others around the world.

Calls have been led by Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., who last week on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” told host Maria Bartiromo that she has “never trusted a communist” and that the Chinese government’s “cover-up of this virus that originated with them has caused unnecessary deaths around America and around the world… I think Dr. Tedros needs to step down.”

She continued on Friday, placing part of the blame for China’s lack of transparency on the WHO director-general.

MARTHA MCSALLY SAYS WHO BOSS SHOULD RESIGN OVER CHINA CORONAVIRUS ‘COVER-UP’

“Dr. Tedros deceived the world,” she said. “At one point, he even praised China’s ‘transparency during its coronavirus response efforts’ despite a mountain of evidence showing the regime concealed the severity of the outbreak. This deception cost lives. “

Tedros’ woes have been caused in large part by his regular backing of China during the coronavirus outbreak.

In early February, days after President Trump put in place a travel ban for foreign nationals who had recently been to China, Tedros panned coronavirus responses that “unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade,” according to Reuters.

He also tweeted praise for China on March 20, saying “[f]or the first time, #China has reported no domestic #COVID19 cases yesterday. This is an amazing achievement, which gives us all reassurance that the #coronavirus can be beaten.”

CHINA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH WHO CHIEF IN WAKE OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

That tweet came amid allegations that the coronavirus numbers reported by China were not accurate, but manipulated to make the country’s response to the pandemic look stronger than it was.

Tedros’ comments, and other communications from the World Health Organization, have been used by China to boost the nation’s message as it seeks to deflect blame for the pandemic, which a study by the University of Southampton claims could have been “reduced by 95 percent globally” if China acted three weeks earlier.

As an example of China leaning on WHO in its efforts, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying tweeted that America was hellbent on blaming China after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed China had allowed thousands of people to leave Wuhan and travel to places like Italy.

“Stop lying through your teeth!” the spokesperson said of Pompeo. “As WHO experts said, China’s efforts averted hundreds of thousands of infection cases.”

GOP SENATOR WANTS CORONAVIRUS HEARINGS, PROBE OVER WHO ROLE PROMOTING CHINA’S ‘MISINFORMATION’

According to The Washington Free Beacon, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said the WHO should consider removing Tedros as its head.

“The World Health Organization has consistently bent to the will of the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of global health and of containing the spread of the coronavirus, from downplaying the extent of the virus to systematically excluding Taiwan,” a Cruz spokesperson told the publication. “Sen. Cruz believes that the WHO has lost the credibility necessary for it to be effective, and a reevaluation of its leadership is urgently called for.”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., also told the Free Beacon that “we need to have a serious reckoning with the World Health Organization.”

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., joined in on calls for Tedros to face accountability for how his organization has performed during the pandemic.

“Once this pandemic is under control, WHO leadership should be held to account. That includes Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has allowed Beijing to use the WHO to mislead the global community,” Rubio said. ” At this moment, [Tedros] is either complicit or dangerously incompetent. Neither possibility bodes well for his future at the helm of this critical organization.”

So did former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., the WHO’s parent organization, Nikki Haley.

“This was posted by the WHO on January 14th,” Haley said of a WHO tweet that cited investigations by Chinese authorities saying the communist nation “found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission” of the coronavirus.

“The WHO owes an explanation to the world of why they took China’s word for it,” she continued. “So much suffering has been caused by the mishandling of information and lack of accountability by the Chinese.”

BIPARTISAN HOUSE RESOLUTION CONDEMNS CHINESE GOVERNMENT OVER HANDLING OF CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., also called for accountability for the WHO on its handling of the coronavirus.

“When it comes to Coronavirus, the WHO failed. They need to be held accountable for their role in promoting misinformation and helping Communist China cover up a global pandemic,” Scott said last week. “We know Communist China is lying about how many cases and deaths they have, what they knew and when they knew it – and the WHO never bothered to investigate further.”

Scott also called for an investigation into the WHO, questioning whether it is deserving of American taxpayer money.

The United States is the single largest contributor to the WHO. The most recent invoice from the WHO to the United States, which is one of many countries that fund the organization, was for nearly $116 million per year. The United States also voluntarily gives between approximately $100 million and $400 million more per year to the WHO for specific projects — contributions that totaled over $400 million in 2017, the most recent year for which figures are available.

That means the United States contributed over $500 million in total to the WHO that year, which is just under one-quarter of the organization’s yearly budget. The WHO’s total budget for 2016 and 2017 combined was over $4 billion.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board also joined in the pile-on in an editorial posted Sunday evening, backing Scott’s call for an investigation and warning “foreign-policy elites” that if they “want to know why so many Americans mistrust international institutions, WHO is it.”

All this comes as dissatisfaction is also building with Tedros and the WHO internationally. A Change.org petition, reported on by the Jerusalem Post, which has been translated into several different languages and cites Tedros’ reluctance to question China’s self-reported coronavirus numbers, among other things, has gained over 700,000 signatures.

Additionally, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso, according to Taiwanese television channel Formosa News, said that the WHO should change its name to the Chinese Health Organization over its handling of the coronavirus.

As of Monday morning, the number of coronavirus cases worldwide had surpassed 1.2 million with 69,000 deaths worldwide. In the United States, 337,000 coronavirus cases were reported and 9,600 people have died.

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams in the White House coronavirus task force briefing Sunday night said that this week will be “the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives” — saying it would be “our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment.”
