Truth or Consequences is an American game show originally hosted on NBC radio by Ralph Edwards and later on television from 1940- 1988.Truth or Consequences was the long-running wild & wacky game show where contestants that were selected from the studio audience could either tell the truth (answer a question) or be forced to pay the consequences (perform a stunt). If the contestant could not complete the "Truth" portion, there would be "Consequences," usually a zany and embarrassing stunt. From the start, most contestants preferred to answer the question wrong in order to perform the stunt. Said Edwards, "Most of the American people are darned good sports.
‘In fact, most of the arguments the coronavirus deniers use are very similar to those anti-vaxxers have been pushing for decades. They suggest that scientists and scientific institutions are hopelessly corrupt, that these institutions and individuals are lying to you and only folks like Mikovits (a scientist whose art of deception were discovered, and she is now on a vengeance vindication of vitriol) are willing to risk it all to tell you "the truth": that the government and specifically public health institutions should have no influence over how ordinary Americans live their lives and protect themselves and their communities from disease, and that natural immunity to infection is preferable to vaccines (even though with COVID-19, we are only beginning to learn about immunity and have no idea how long it will last, and how vaccine-induced immunity will compare to that.

Donald Trump kicked off his Memorial Day weekend by visiting his club in Virginia, marking the president's first time back at one of his private golf courses in 75 days, the longest stretch of his administration without spending time at one. He was seen leaving the White House on Saturday morning wearing a white hat, white shirt, and no mask as his motorcade made its way to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. On Friday, making an entrance via the secretive room behind the Press Corp Briefing, as if he was Charlton Heston, playing Moses, as the waters of the Red Sea parted, in a most bombastic maneuver shoved aside, his Press Secretary and announced that “HE COMMANDED” all Houses of Worship to be opened no matter wherever THOUSEST, THINE (the COVID-19) may seek refuge may goest! Adding that places of worship are "essential" and should open this weekend, threatening to override governors who have ordered churches, synagogues, and mosques not to reopen in the coming days. The Trump administration is not requiring nursing homes to provide data on COVID-19 deaths and cases that occurred prior to May 6.
After a private gathering with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, a reporter asked the president, "36 million Americans out of work. Half of those jobs aren't coming back. Do you have a policy to help them get back to work?" Trump’s response, "Oh, I think -- I think we've announced a plan. We're opening up our country. Just a rude person you are. We're opening up our country. We're opening it up very fast. The plan is that each state is opening and its opening up very effectively." A Quiz show, Truth or Consequences had a long run, starting out on the radio and ending up on the TV. And now in the year 2020, it has made a resurgence, this time ALL of America is its CONTESTANTS!
