On Friday President Trump signed a third bill to address the COVID-19 crisis.

And not just any terrible movies -- obscure B-movies by no-name directors with big ambitions, painfully small budgets and in-over-their-head actors who are just doing their best with what they're given. The gems among this craptacular crop of films all share the same tragicomic sincerity and lack of awareness, and they're typically torpedoed by horrible artistic choices, simple inexperience or ...

We routinely differentiate between two kinds of military action: the inevitable carnage and collateral damage of diffuse hostilities, and the precision of a “surgical strike,” methodically targeted to the sources of our particular peril.

We are taking things day by day in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic.
