"It is becoming increasingly clear that the Russian investigation as launched and conducted by James Comey’s FBI deserves to rank as one of the agency’s great blunders — at best.
"President Donald Trump famously calls the investigation a hoax, a label he uses liberally, but in this instance it may literally be true . . . In a better world, James Comey would apologize to the country for this travesty, providing a kind of bookend to the entire episode. That’s not going to happen, though, and the Justice Department will have to continue to provide a public accounting of how it got this so desperately wrong." Rich Lowry, National Review Online, 4/14

"It makes sense for places like Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland to ban large, avoidable gatherings. But it is an astonishing abuse of power to issue stay-at-home orders, enforced by criminal law, empowering police to harass and fine individuals for nothing more than taking a walk . . .
"The question of how many lives would be lost if we didn’t shut down economy is a vital one, but it is not the only one. There is an array of factors that goes into these decisions. One of them should be preserving our laws and our freedom in times of crisis." David Harsani, NRO, 4/14
"New evidence reveals that China lied, and thousands of people died because of it. We learned that the government destroyed lab work, and silenced whistleblowers who were trying to get the word out to the rest of the world about the deadly virus that was likely to end up on their own door steps." Courtney O'Brien, Townhall, 4/14
"And Nebraska, one of the few U.S. states that has not locked down -- to the intense anger of the state's Democrats at its Republican governor -- has a death rate of less than 1 per 100,000 (according to the Washington Post's daily listing of U.S. coronavirus deaths)." Dennis Prager, Townhall, 4/14
"New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced public schools will be closed for the rest of the academic year due to the coronavirus. More mayors and governors will likely make similar announcements, if they have not already done so.
"Rather than look upon this as a negative, I suspect some parents are enjoying new relationships with their children that full-time work and day care did not allow. This new bonding experience could lead some to continue the practice of educating their children at home once this crisis has passed and public schools reopen.
"Some parents might find learning at home to be beneficial beyond additional bonding with their children. Concerns about what is taught in public schools - from sex education, to incomplete or even biased views of American history, as well as their failure to uphold moral and spiritual principles (and in some cases undermining them) have made home schooling attractive to growing numbers of parents." Cal Thomas, Townhall, 4/14
