Facing Problems + China + Politics + Democrats

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

"If we believe in Jesus Christ, we can face every problem the world holds."  Oswald Chambers, Men's Devotional Bible

CHINA

"I am much more worried about prominent Americans who look at this ongoing global calamity — more than 3.3 million cases and 234,000 deaths worldwide, as of this writing — and conclude that the Chinese government is the hero in this story. Right now, a surprising number of prominent Americans are loudly insisting that China has handled this virus outbreak correctly, and the United States has not. The U.S. federal, state, and local governments have made their share of mistakes in this crisis. But that doesn’t make Beijing the good guys or role models."  Jim Geraghty, National Review Online

POLITICS & THE CORONAVIRUS

"We've had our lives upended in many ways. Coronavirus has become the priority. Even if we are trying to live as normally as possible, the differences -- the kids not being in school, the work meetings via Zoom, the physical masks we wear in a world of too many figurative masks -- expose the reality. Many of us know that things won't be the same as before, even as we begin to emerge from quarantine in some places. And yet, you get the sense that the same-old is about to rear its head again -- that we are going to fall into the same old politics that bring out the worst in so many of us."  Kathryn Jean Lopez, Townhall
