(Tea Party PAC) The coronavirus infection that has ravaged the entire world is definitely no joke. This virus has killed a staggering number of people both here and abroad and proven itself to be a true challenge to not only our physical well-being, but our economic and societal health as well.

The country as a whole has ground to a halt and folks are feeling the pinch. Millions are out of work and unable to provide for their families with no end to the misery and self-isolation in sight. Added to all this misery is the fact that this disease has no cure and nothing that will help patients deal with the horrific symptoms it causes.

Until now that is.

According to Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Stephen Smith, hydroxychloroquine is the game changer weve all been waiting for in the battle against this disease.

Heres more from Gateway Pundit:

Dr. Smith has been treating coronavirus patients at the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health in East Orange, New Jersey.

Dr. Smith revealed that in his treatment of coronavirus victims he has not seen a single patient under the age of 70 was not diabetic, pre-diabetic or obese.

Dr. Steven Smith then pointed out that not a single coronavirus patient under his care who was on the hydroxychloroquine regimen needed to be intibated.

This is outstanding news.

Dr. Stephen Smith: More person has received five days or more of the hydroxychoroquine-azithro combination has been intibated. The chance of that occurring by chance according to my sons Elan and Hunter who did some stats for me are .000 something. Its ridiculously low. Its ridiculously low however you look at it. We were looking at selection bias in this situation. But I cannot think of a reason why. If all else is equal why people that received 5 days or more or even four days or more of this hydroxychloroquine-azithro regimen wouldnt get intibated Its a game-changer. An absolute game-changer. I think this data goes to really support the French data Laura, I think this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

Theres nothing more terrifying than having an invisible enemy that you cant do anything to fight against. Fortunately, it seems this malaria drug and several others in combination can give those who are infected with the virus a fighting chance against the effects of the illness.

No doubt this medication will end up saving lives, which is probably just tearing up some folks on the left who were hoping the death toll would be astronomical and eventually lead to the complete and total downfall of President Trump in the upcoming election.

That may seem like a very morbid statement to make, but thats how some liberals genuinely think. They dont see this pandemic as a bad thing, but an opportunity to help change America into the progressive state they want, obliterating the capitalistic foundation beneath our society.

Heres to hoping this drug saves many lives and helps us bring coronavirus to its knees.

The fourth annual Mad Hatters Parade and Tea Party will be going ahead this year virtually.

Organizer Catherine Larnon-Trout, founder of the Mad Hatters Foundation, decided that instead of cancelling the event because of the COVID-19 crisis, she will host her own personal tea party on Facebook Live.

And, Larnon-Trout is asking participants to do the same from their own home.

The Mad Hatters Parade and Tea Party was started by Larnon-Trout in an effort to eliminate the stigma of mental illness.

In a lead-up to this years event Larnon-Trout will be sharing recipes for scones and cucumber sandwiches and instructions on how to make the perfect cup of tea with participants who register.

She will also be sharing instructions on how to make a tea party hat and musical shakers for children to participate in the entertainment.

And, instead of having a physical parade of hats she will be asking people to post pictures of their tea parties and the hats they created to the live Facebook feed.

There will be hat competitions and categories like there were before, said Larnon-Trout.

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Bob DEith will be speaking again at this years event.

DEiths brother has suffered from mental illness for more than 30 years.

Last year he spoke about his brothers battles with schizophrenia, and how it impacted his family.

He explained that when his brothers mental health started to decline how his family had nowhere to turn to.

And how they had to work tirelessly to get him into a safe facility.

He also talked about how mental illness should not be stigmatized and how people should be encouraged to get help if they need it.

Entertainer Lisa Rae Simons will also be performing virtually for the event and the Maple Ridge Downtown Business Improvement Association has sponsored prizes for the best hats.

The Mad Hatters Tea Party takes place from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on May 30 on Facebook Live.

Minnesota Republicans will meet for a virtual state convention this weekend to endorse candidates for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House and to approve a party platform. Over the past half century, we have been to more of these state conventions than we might care to count. We wont be participants this year, though and not just because we werent invited.

Minnesota Republicans face a dilemma of both policy and politics. The politics first:

While the GOP continues to do well in local races in rural Minnesota, its statewide appeal has vanished. This isnt a new phenomenon. In the past 24 years, Republicans have won only three of 15 races for governor or U.S. senator. Thats quite a swing from the pre-Tea Party, pre-anti-government Republican Party of Minnesota.

Between 1978, when one of the authors of this commentary was elected to the Senate, and 1994, when Arne Carlson won his second term as governor, Republicans won two-thirds of the races for governor and U.S. Senate.

Today, the GOP increasingly is being written out of the states future. It isnt competitive in the urban centers and first-ring suburbs, and it is barely holding on in second- and third-ring communities. The largest and fastest-growing blocs of voters in the state more and more see the GOP as noncompetitive.

At best, the partys role now is to control a portion of state government and be the brakes on the DFL Party. Today its the state Senate, but will that still be true after the 2020 census documents the continuing population shift to the metro area?

And that brings us to the partys policy problem. At the end of World War II, Minnesota was in the lower tier of wealth among the nations states. In less than three decades, Minnesota earned the reputation as the state that works.

Yes, it was DFL Gov. Wendy Anderson who appeared on the 1973 cover of Time magazine promoting The Good Life In Minnesota but Republican ideas and innovation built much of the foundation, leading the way on everything from environmental protection to creating the states first human-rights department, from tax reform to government reform.

The Minnesota Republican Party was based back then on core values that put government in service to support and promote the incredible innovation and energy of Minnesotans, their businesses, and our philanthropic and faith communities. The GOP recognized that governments role should be limited but not missing in action. It should be a partner with individuals and families at the times in our lives when we are vulnerable.

And, government should be transparent in words and actions. Draining the swamp is an insult to voters when its accompanied by ethical abuses piled on corrupt and self-serving policies.

Those values have given way to blind allegiance to a president who has abandoned nearly every core principle that once defined the GOP. We believe that the re-election of Donald Trump would be disastrous for the country and ruinous for the Republican Party. For us, there is a positive alternative in Joe Biden and a vehicle for our support, the Lincoln Project (lincolnproject.us).

Biden isnt an anyone-but-Trump alternative. He is a positive choice to restore integrity and decency to the White House. Certainly, there are policy areas where we part ways with Biden and, like all of us, Biden has his personal flaws. But more than anything else, we believe he has the ability and commitment to rebuild trust between government and the people it serves. And nothing is more important to good government than the confidence of the governed.

The Lincoln Project, created by Republicans who are dismayed at what has become of our party, isnt a group of disaffected outsiders. Quite the contrary. Those who are coming to the Lincoln Project to support Biden have made the nonpartisan decision to put country first. As the mission of the group states, Electing Democrats who support the Constitution over Republicans who do not is a worthy effort. We agree.

Even as we work to defeat Trump, we hope that the Minnesota Republican Party will find its way back to its ethical and moral roots. We want a strong GOP in Minnesota, and we will continue to offer conservative policy proposals and support Republican candidates who are in the mold of those who in the past not only made the GOP the states dominant party but made Minnesota a dominant state.

So, sincere best wishes to those Republicans meeting online for their convention. We still count many of you as friends. And as friends, we offer our sincere hope that you will avoid the coronavirus that threatens us all and rise above the illness that afflicts our party.

Dave Durenberger is a former U.S. senator from Minnesota. Tom Horner is a public-relations executive who was the Independence Party candidate for governor in 2010.

OPINION EXCHANGE | Minnesota Republicans, what are you going to do? - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Justin Amash is the current U.S. Representative for Michigan's 3rd congressional district. He was part of the Tea Party wave of Republicans elected in 2010. (I used to draw him as Sarah Palin back then.) He turned out to be a bit more substantive, earning a reputation for being thoughtful and deliberative, holding firm to his beliefs. Some would say (including many of his colleagues) too firm.

By 2019 he finally had enough of Trumpism and left the Republican Party, declaring himself independent. Recently, he aligned himself with the Libertarian Party and announced "the formation of an exploratory committee to seek its presidential nomination," which means he's now running for president.

Rep. Amash was one of the first national politicians to embrace social media as a means of communicating with his constituents, and he's about as transparent as you could hope for a lawmaker to be. Whether or not you like his politics, I think you have to respect him. Case in point, Amash recently had a series of tweets defining his position on state-level "stay-in-place" orders.

For example: Government cant know what is essential. Every human has the right to earn a living. We can live safely without edicts from the governor.

This aligns with Amash's libertarian views, so points for clarity and consistency. And points off for blind adherence to ideology in the face of a pandemic reality. But that all can be a discussion for another time. The things that really struck me about what Amash said is that (1) he makes a coherent point and (2) he manages to do it being a functional adult (no narcism, no threats, actual words, the whole shabang). Such a low, low bar, and yet it's thrilling to see somebody make it over!
