White House Falsely Claims Trump Ended COVID-19 Pandemic

Donald Trump loves to scream “fake news” at any of the media outlets that aren’t biased toward him but he really should be worried about what his own White House administration is claiming because, on a list of science and technology accomplishments made by the current President, the WH listed “ending the COVID-19 pandemic” as one of the major points.

As you know, the pandemic is still raging. Half a million Americans tested positive for the virus in the last week so, obviously, the pandemic is not over. It may seem to be finished on social media, with people like Kim Kardashian sharing tone-deaf pictures from her birthday get-away with dozens of her closest family members and friends, but it’s not.

A news release sent out by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy made the false claim about the pandemic in a list of accomplishments over the last four years.

“Highlights include: ENDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC,” wrote the release, which was sent to reporters across the nation. “From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Administration has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academia, industry, and government to understand, treat, and defeat the disease.”

According to CTV News, the United States has seen the daily number of cases hit a new all-time high in the last week, which makes this claim pretty laughable. On Sunday, 68,767 new cases were confirmed, which set a new high since July 22.

There have also been five aides to Mike Pence that tested positive for the coronavirus in the last week, meaning that there is still an outbreak within the White House. But, somehow, the pandemic is over? Sure…

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
