Media tries to frighten and mislead people about medication used to treat coronavirus

Washington Examiner:
Donald Trump Jr. slammed a news article MSN posted Friday that criticized his father for touting a malaria drug that could potentially slow the spread of the coronavirus because it’s reportedly deadly if administered at a level of more than 2 grams.

The article, published by Bloomberg News with the headline “Virus Drug Touted by Trump, Musk Can Kill In Just Two Grams,” highlighted potential dangers of the decades-old malaria drug chloroquine, which has been linked to some positive findings related to recovery from the coronavirus.

“What’s your point?” Trump Jr. asked on Twitter. “2 grams of caffeine can kill you too, but no one is planning on prescribing that much.”

“This bullshit is why everyone hates and doesn’t trust the media, he added. “They are trying to create fear for clicks with misleading and irrelevant info. You people truly suck!”

The tweet was liked and retweeted by thousands after just a few minutes.

Trump Jr. wasn’t the only verified Twitter account to suggest that chloroquine is not unique when it comes to useful drugs being deadly depending on the dose.

“FACTS,” Dr. Milton Wolf wrote before mentioning 3 points. “1. Every drug ever in history kills if overdosed. 2. Even water kills if taken in excess. 3. The American media is garbage. They'll claim a cure is a killer just to bash @realDonaldTrump. They are the enemy of the people.”
...
The media is employing the politics of fraud to frighten people and deny access to potential medication for treating people struck by the coronavirus.  They are doing this in an attempt to destroy confidence in the President.  It is typical of the bad faith we have come to expect from liberals in the media.  They cannot be trusted in a crisis like this.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
