MORE FRAUD: Arizona Counts Any Death Within 60 Days of Positive COVID Test As COVID Death

Dr. Phil Kerpen reports overnight that the state of Arizona is reporting COVID deaths for anyone who was found positive with COVID in a test within 60 days of that death:

ABC News Blatantly Lies About Coronavirus Deaths

According to their reporting, August 13, 2020, had the “highest single-day of COVID-19 deaths.” Let’s add a little context to be fair. They were talking specifically about the United States, so we don’t need to compare global numbers as some kind of gotcha. With that in mind, they reported that U.S. COVID deaths hit a new single-day high on August 13.

Ok, that’s a pretty easy number to fact check.

The irony is that in the very same segment, ABC did fact check that number. They had a graphic that showed August 13 didn’t have the highest number of daily deaths. It wasn’t even close to that number. Instead, the graphic displayed that August 13 was the highest for daily deaths since May.

So, maybe it was a simple mistake, right? Before we get to why they deliberately lied, let’s correct the numbers.

According to Johns Hopkins data, August 13 had 1,284 new coronavirus deaths. Here’s what’s interesting, August 11 and 12 both had more deaths than that. In fact, as of the time of this writing, August 11 had the most daily deaths since May, at 1,504. ABC wasn’t even right that August 13 had a high number for the week.

Let’s put this in a larger context. The highest daily deaths for the U.S. occurred in April with a total of 2,749. There was a dip in June and early July, but even then, daily death rates were over 800. That means that August 13 was much closer to the early-summer low than the April high. Any attempt to say that coronavirus deaths were spiraling or worsening in August is just plain reckless.

Way to try to paper over ther FACT that over 1500 and over 1300 deaths died those two days because of trump's half-assed job of dealing with the pandemice. on e of which was a record. Over 2800 deaths in just those two days, and you're trying t make excuses for death. Pathetic.

and ignore the reality that many deaths from covid are going unreported.

Maryanne Trump Barry, a former federal judge, made the comments to her niece Mary Trump in secretly taped conversations

Donald Trump’s older sister, a former federal judge, is heard sharply criticizing her brother in a series of recordings released Saturday, at one point saying of the president: “He has no principles.”

Maryanne Trump Barry was secretly recorded by her niece, Mary Trump, who recently released a book denouncing the president, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man. Mary Trump said Saturday she made the recordings in 2018 and 2019.

In one recording, Barry, 83, says she had heard a 2018 interview with her brother on Fox News in which he suggested that he would put her on the border to oversee cases of immigrant children separated from their parents.

“His base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this,” Barry says.

At another point she says: “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God.” She adds: “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy ****.”

Barry can also be heard saying that she guesses that her brother has never read her opinions on immigration cases.

“What has he read?” Mary Trump asks her aunt. Barry responds: “No. He doesn’t read.”

The recordings were first reported by the Washington Post. The Associated Press then obtained the recordings.

The recordings came to light just a day after the late Robert Trump, brother to Maryanne and the president, was memorialized in a service at the White House. Later, the president was dismissive of the recordings.

“Every day it’s something else, who cares. I miss my brother, and I’ll continue to work hard for the American people,” Trump said in a statement. “Not everyone agrees, but the results are obvious. Our country will soon be stronger than ever before.”

In the weeks since the release of Mary Trump’s tell-all book about her uncle, she has been questioned about the source of some of its information.

Nowhere in the book does she say that she recorded conversations with her aunt. On Saturday, Mary Trump revealed that she had covertly taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barry.

“Mary realized members of her family had lied in prior depositions,” said Chris Bastardi, a spokesman for Mary Trump. He added: “Anticipating litigation, she felt it prudent to tape conversations in order to protect herself.”

The president has frequently spoken highly of his sister; the recordings are the first time a family member, outside of Mary Trump, has been critical of him.

The recordings illuminate the tension between the president and his sister. At one point Barry says to her niece: “It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.”

Hillary Clinton wanted Trump as an opponent, thinking it would clinch her second run at the top job.

Donald wasn't "qualified" for any kind of national management role, but under US law, he had everything that it takes.

As for the religious leanings, can you honestly say that anyone in the political sphere meets the "criteria" of being a staunch Christian?
