</div><div>Some Trump supporters say they’re willing to die to reopen economy: ‘When it’s my time to go, God’s going to call me home”</div><div>
</div><div>Written by Brad Reed / Raw Story April 15, 2020</div><div>Supporters of President Donald Trump are getting antsy about stay-at-home orders — and they’re encouraging one another to openly rebel against strict measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.</div><div>
</div><div>The Daily Beast reports that Trump supporters are sparking a “protest movement” against social distancing restrictions aimed at forcing governors to reopen their economies at a time when tens of thousands of Americans have died from the virus in the span of just one month.</div><div>
</div><div>North Carolina-based conservative activist Ashley Smith, who founded an anti-social distancing group called “ReopenNC,” said that she wasn’t worried about dying as long as it means the economy can reopen.</div><div>
</div><div>“When it’s my time to go, God’s going to call me home,” she tells the publication. “I think that to live is inherently to take risks. I’m not concerned about this virus any more than I am about the flu.”</div><div>
</div><div>Michigan activist Rosanne Ponkowski, meanwhile, said that the lower-than-expected projected death toll from COVID-19 justifies reopening the economy, despite the fact that the death toll has only been lowered due to social distancing restrictions.</div><div>
</div><div>“They were predicting huge numbers of people falling ill and dying, and that wasn’t the case,” she said.</div><div>
</div><div>Former Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston, a longtime ally of Trump, summed up conservative anger over the restrictions like this: “The liquor stores and dispensaries are open but I can’t buy gun!”</div></div><div>

Now, the chair of the House of Representatives spending panel that funds the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is claiming that some federally funded biomedical research violates government restrictions on lobbying state lawmakers or Congress.The issue <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2013/03/legislator-grills-nih-over-tobac.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">surfaced earlier this month</a> at a hearing of the panel. Representative Andy Harris (R-MD) grilled NIH Director Francis Collins about two grants to tobacco control researcher Stanton Glantz of the University of California, San Francisco, in which some of the money was used to trace the Tea Party's origins to groups funded by the tobacco industry. The study reflected "a partisan political agenda," claimed Harris, who calls himself "a Tea Party guy." (Collins responded that he was "quite troubled" by the study.)As a new member of the panel, Harris doesn't have much clout. But it turns out that its chair, Representative Jack Kingston (R-GA), has the same concerns.At the same 5 March hearing, Kingston gave Collins <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/sites/default/files/media/Kingston-to-NIH-5-March-2013.pdf" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">this letter expressing concerns about several grants</a>. In addition to Glantz's, Kingston objected to a 1-year, $50,000 award to criminology professor Catherine Gallagher of George Mason University to produce a monograph reviewing research on the health problems of young prison inmates. The letter quotes from Gallagher's <a href="http://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?projectnumber=1G13LM010936-01" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">abstract</a>, saying the project "is intended to engage the medical, public health, criminal justice, policy, legal and advocacy communities by uniting diverse disciplines around a common issue."Such studies aren't directly related to NIH's mission, Kingston's letter claims. "As elected officials, we cannot explain to our constituents why their tax dollars are used by NIH to fund advocacy groups [or] address political questions," it says. Kingston asked NIH to review within 30 days all of its grants to make sure they don't violate federal lobbying restrictions. Any activities that "address political questions or fund any advocacy group seeking to develop lobbying material" should be "halted," the letter says.A week earlier, Kingston asked the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Inspector General (IG) to review the Glantz and Gallagher grants. As <a href="http://www.cancerletter.com/articles/20130325_1" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">first reported</a> by The Cancer Letter, Kingston's <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/sites/default/files/media/Kingston-to-HHS-IG-25-Feb-2013.pdf" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">letter asks the IG to add the grants to an ongoing investigation</a> of whether a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/communitiesputtingpreventiontowork/" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">program</a> aimed at helping communities reduce obesity and smoking may violate a ban on using federal funds to lobby. (<a href="http://ethics.od.nih.gov/topics/Lobby-Publicity-Guide.htm" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">Several rules</a> prohibit the use of HHS funds to influence Congress or state legislatures.)Gallagher says her grant mentioned advocacy groups because only they have access to the prison population. "It's not us taking their plight to lobby," she says. "I think it's crazy in this climate of scare resources to waste people's time on such a trivial matter when we have such a long and dependable peer review process," she adds.The distinction between research and advocacy came up after the December shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, which drew attention to a Congressional directive barring CDC from advocating for gun control. The White House <a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2013/01/obama-lifts-ban-on-funding-gun-v.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: 700;">declared that</a> "research on gun violence is not advocacy" and asked Congress to fund $10 million in research in this area.</div><div><a href="https://www.alternet.org/2019/10/cnn-hired-a-habitual-liar-as-the-republicans-strategy-to-work-the-refs-pays-off/">https://www.alternet.org/2019/10/cnn-hired-a-habitual-liar-as-the-republicans-strategy-to-work-the-refs-pays-off/</a>no lnx
CNN hired a habitual liar as the Republicans’ strategy to ‘work the refs’ pays offWritten by Eric Boehlert / Daily Kos October 23, 2019Former Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, recently hired by CNN to be a paid political commentator, can’t stop fabricating facts when he goes on the air. Since making his CNN debut on Sunday, Duffy has lied about the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords. He’s lied about Joe Biden trying to fire a Ukraine prosecutor in order to protect his son. And Duffy’s helped spread the preposterous lie about the Democratic National Committee’s email servers from 2016 somehow ending up in a foreign country.
Sean Duffy, who staked his congressional reputation in recent years on being an undying Trump loyalist, is not a serious person. And Sean Duffy appears to be a habitual liar. (He once claimed George Soros was rigging voting machines, and that Hillary Clinton’s longtime aide had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.) You would think those unfortunate traits would represent two large check marks against someone who wanted to be in the business of commenting on the news.
And yet, here we are.
CNN executives, having surveyed the political landscape in search of new voices to add to its discussions, decided to hire Duffy, which says a lot more about CNN than it does Duffy. What’s newsworthy about Duffy’s hiring is the timing. It just seems odd since much of the press, including CNN, has moved to toughen up Trump coverage in recent weeks and temporarily abandon the hallmark timidity that has defined so much of the reporting and commentary over the last two-plus years.
“The mainstream media seems to have quietly removed its Trump-normalizing gloves in the past few weeks,” wrote Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan.
CNN anchors and commentators have often been part of that change. They have been out front since the Ukraine collusion scandal broke last month, emphasizing that Trump’s pronouncements and denials are almost always wrapped in lies and deceptions. That’s a good thing.
So why now, of all times, would CNN decide to shift into reverse and hire another Trump loyalist who cannot be trusted to be honest or state anything factual each time he appears on air? Why would CNN want to go back to playing the silly and time-consuming game of blocking off lots of airtime so conservative contributors can make stuff up, which CNN anchors then have to point out is, y’know, made up? What does CNN hope to accomplish with this?
It’s all just a colossal waste of time, and CNN already tried to pull off that losing strategy for two years. Looking to capture the cable news “middle” between Fox News and MSNBC, CNN often obsesses over its Both Sides presentation. And on paper, there’s nothing wrong with that. (Think: Crossfire format.) The problem is trying to find honest conservatives these days and, specifically, the nearly impossible task of finding honest conservatives who are also Trump loyalists, since that’s the Both Sides debate CNN often wants to present.
CNN has hired many such Trump loyalists who have chewed up the cable news scenery, spreading lie after preposterous lie. That includes people like Jason Miller, Jack Kingston, Ed Martin, Jeffrey Lord, and Corey Lewandowski, among others. None of them, to be generous, covered the network in glory. Following the 2018 school massacre at Parkland High School in Florida, Kingston claimed on the air that students who rallied against gun violence were being taken advantage of by “left-wing gun control activists” led by billionaire George Soros.
It all badly muddies the waters, because by allowing—and paying—people like Duffy to disseminate nonsense like he’s already spewed about DNC servers, CNN is legitimizing that lie, even when it’s fact-checked. “First of all, what you are stating is completely inaccurate and factually wrong,” CNN contributor Jen Psaki told Duffy when he started in with the server conspiracy. “It’s a conspiracy theory on the right-wing blogs.” And frankly, that’s where that garbage should stay.
By hiring someone like Duffy at this juncture, it appears CNN has learned very little since 2017, and specifically very little about how to cover a liar like Trump. It’s not up to CNN and other media players to hire bad actors simply because the conservative movement is filled with bad actors. All news outlets ought to have easily identifiable standards, and if would-be paid contributors can’t meet those standards, they should not be hired.
Keep in mind that CNN remains under constant bullying attacks from Trump and the entire conservative movement. Last year, the White House lashed out at CNN by pulling reporter Jim Acosta’s press pass. Trump routinely defames the network on Twitter. And just last week, Trump’s personal attorney sent a ridiculous threat to CNN, threatening to sue the network for its “biased” coverage of Trump. (“Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation,” etc.) Lawyers everywhere mocked the move as deeply unserious, but the cumulative effect adds up.
And that makes Duffy’s hiring even more distressing. It certainly seems to send a signal that “working the refs” is an effective strategy, and that if Republicans complain loudly and long enough, the cable news channel will bend, in small ways, to the GOP’s will.
Recall that back in January, CNN seemed to make a similar and equally misguided concession to Trump when it hired a hyper-partisan Republican flack with no experience in journalism to oversee the network’s campaign news coverage. After a public outcry, CNN changed the Republican’s job duties.
Note to CNN: It’s not too late to do the same with Duffy.

Over the weekend he was quoted saying that poor children should have to either pay or sweep floors if they want to eat school lunches. “[The] school lunch programs are very expensive” Kingston explained during a speech to the Jackson County Republican Party, “but one of the things I’ve talked to the Secretary of Agriculture about: Why don’t you have the kids pay a dime, pay a nickel to instill in them that there is, in fact, no such thing as a free lunch? Or maybe sweep the floor of the cafeteria—and yes, I understand that that would be an administrative problem, and I understand that it would probably lose you money,” which is, of course he sees as the most egregious part of the plan: the potential loss of money. He is by no means the first Republican to suggest that poor kids do menial work just to get what other children receive labor-free.  Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich similarly pitched the idea of replacing unionized janitors with children to Harvard’s Kennedy School while campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination in 2011. He even suggested children as young as five be forced to work.“Really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday,” the Georgia Republican told a room full of Harvard students.He stuck with the theme during the 2011 Republican debates:“If you take one half go the New York janitors, who are paid more than the teachers,” Gingrich explained, managing to hit two broad right-wing strokes in one go, “you could give lots of poor kids a work experience in the cafeteria, in the school library, in the front office, in a lot of different things.”It was another non-starter for Gingrich, whose campaign soon tanked, which did not stop Kingston from coming up with a similar heartless idea.  </div><div>=</div><div>2007 lahood quit; “<strong style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I do think the schedule and the flying is a huge pain for people, particularly those who are from the Midwest or even further West,” he said, adding that <strong style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">it’s “probably the worst part of the job.”</div><blockquote style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1em 3em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; line-height: 22.4375px; vertical-align: baseline; quotes: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“I think that has played into these retirement announcements,” said the seven-term congressman from Peoria.</blockquote>In Dec. 2006, Rep.

</h2><h2>2012 "Ag Approps" Gives Props to the "Big 6"</h2>

This regulatory victory was not good enough for industry, however. Quietly, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) wrote a gift to biotech companies into the 2013 agriculture appropriations ("Ag Approps") bill. Opponents of GMOs refer to this as the "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Monsanto_Protection_Act" title="reference on Monsanto Protection Act" target="self">Monsanto Protection Act</a>." Beneficiaries of Kingston's "rider" to the bill (<a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr5973" title="reference on Section 733" target="blank">Section 733</a>) -- such as Monsanto, which lobbied for it in the second quarter of 2012 -- refer to it as the "farmer assurance provision."

If the Ag Approps bill passes as written, if a court removes a GMO from the market after the USDA has deregulated it, the USDA will be required to grant a permit to plant that crop to any farmer who requests one, even if that crop's safety is in question or under review.

<h2>Buried Biotech Treasure in the 2012 Farm Bill</h2>

At the same time, another far-reaching provision favoring the biotech industry is in the works. Buried in the House version of the 2012 Farm Bill, sponsored by House Agriculture Committee chair Frank Lucas (R-OK), is an <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Biotech_Riders_in_the_2012_Farm_Bill" title="reference on enormous gift to the biotech industry" target="self">enormous gift to the biotech industry</a>. The <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr6083/text" title="reference on bill" target="blank">bill</a> changes the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Plant_Protection_Act" title="reference on Plant Protection Act" target="_self">Plant Protection Act</a> (PPA) to limit the time and scope of future environmental assessments of GE crops.

The House farm bill as changed by Congressman Lucas alters the legal rules to cut corners on the environmental review by requiring only the more limited EA and by requiring the USDA to complete that review in a maximum period of a year and a half -- or else the GE crop is automatically approved. It also restricts the scope of that limited environmental review and forbids the spending of any money on any broader environmental analysis of the effect of the GMO.

Kingston, Jack Rep ga
