Kansas Republican lawmakers moved Wednesday to limit Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic, warning her against overstepping her authority.

The Senate approved a resolution following an extraordinary debate over how far a chief executive can and should go as the state fights COVID-19. The measure, passed in a 39-2 vote, would allow Kelly to extend the state of disaster she declared last week, but with significant restrictions. It now heads to the House.  Continue reading “Kansas lawmakers seek to bar Kelly from seizing ammunition, property during pandemic”

Panic hoarding food and supplies by British and American shoppers has surged in recent weeks, as social distancing policies enforced by their respected governments to flatten the curve to slowdown infections are leading to mass quarantines.

Consumers are stocking up on food and supplies, as they have no idea when the quarantines will end. They see the fast-spreading virus leading to increased cases and deaths, and this has triggered fear about a pandemic, leading many to stockpile nonperishables, wiping store shelves clean, prompting supermarkets and pharmacies in both countries to impose buying-limits on goods.

Even as President Trump says he tested negative for coronavirus, the COVID-19 pandemic raises the fear that huge swaths of the executive branch or even Congress and the Supreme Court could also be disabled, forcing the implementation of “continuity of government” plans that include evacuating Washington and “devolving” leadership to second-tier officials in remote and quarantined locations.

You can only be so dead, and that’s just “plain dead.” But there is also Feddy Krueger dead. The kind of dead that keeps on happening like a demonic death that won’t stay dead. It is in that nightmarish Elm St. light that I’m going to review the Federal Reserve’s death.
