As usual, Democrats will stop at nothing to blame President Trump for almost everything. With the world anxiously watching the spread of the coronavirus, the Democrats have decided that President Trump is responsible. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are blaming the president for not allocating enough money to combat the spread of the disease.
The initial request for $2.5 billion in funding will be used to fight the spread of the disease in the country. Not surprisingly, Democrats want to allocate more funding because they believe spending more money is the answer to almost every problem. Typically, the solutions do not come from spending more money, but spending the funds in a wise and efficient manner.
There has been one death in the United States attributed to the coronavirus and 22 have contracted the disease. Fortunately, most of those afflicted with coronavirus are recovering. In a country of 330 million people, it is a very positive development that the spread of the disease, at this point, has been very limited.
Of course, this good news has not stopped Democrats, like presidential candidate Tom Steyer, from making asinine comments. He believes the president’s response to this health threat has been weak and delayed and that it will result in a Hurricane Katrina type of political disaster. On Friday, in an email to supporters, Steyer claimed “we are witnessing a total failure on the part of the White House right now that risks a Katrina level disaster for our country.”
For those of us who survived Hurricane Katrina, it is disgraceful for any politician to use such a tragedy to score political points. The deadly storm killed over 1,800 people, but it was a disaster that was man-made in many respects. The federal levees designed to protect New Orleans failed and 80 percent of the city flooded. It was a failure at all levels of government: local, state and national.
In contrast, President Trump has acted aggressively to deal with the coronavirus threat. He wisely shut down travel from China in January, despite criticism that it was a racist policy. According to Vice President Mike Pence, “It simply had never been done before by any previous administration.” With the outbreak spreading, the president has also issued travel restrictions to Iran, Italy and South Korea.
He established a task force in January to handle issues resulting from the coronavirus and has appointed Vice President Pence to oversee the federal government’s response. The task force has been meeting regularly and issuing recommendations to the president. On Monday, he will be meeting with the country’s largest pharmaceutical companies on ways to expedite the development of a vaccine to combat the coronavirus.
Instead of focusing their ire at President Trump, who has been moving rapidly to deal with the crisis, Democrats and all Americans should be furious at communist China. The disease started in their country. It may have resulted from a leak from a microbiology laboratory in Wuhan, China, not in a food market as initially advertised. China has not been forthcoming with details on the origin of the disease and have not allowed representatives of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) access to their country to assist in fighting the spread of the virus.
Communist nations like China are historically secretive and repressive. Conspiracy theorists may even see some benefit for China to have this disease spread in their country and throughout the world. The massive protests in Hong Kong have stopped, while world economic conditions have deteriorated. If this leads to an economic downturn in the United States, it may harm the political standing of President Trump. With a weakened economy, the Democratic presidential nominee may win in November, a result that will certainly not displease the communist leaders of China.
They dislike Donald Trump because, unlike previous presidents, he stood up to China on important economic issues. He has demanded trade deals be renegotiated and that tariffs be placed on Chinese goods. If he is replaced by a Democratic president, business as usual with China will resume and the communist nation will continue to enjoy the benefits of unfair trade deals and business practices. Prior to President Trump, our horrific trade agreements allowed the Chinese government to realize tremendous profits that were used to modernize their military and build their country’s economy.
It is essential that the American people do not blame President Trump for what China has done and do not listen to shameless Democrats who are trying to use this threat to their political advantage. It is another reason why the stakes are extremely high for not only our country, but for the entire world, in this upcoming presidential election.
Wow, we went almost 5 minutes without a new COVID thread!!!! Excellent!!! A new record!!!!
LOL
I can top that.
I review websites for extra money and was just asked to review a health website on how well it addresses the coronavirus :)
At least this damn virus has finally made me a few bucks :)
At least with popco drills they employed crisis actors. Real or unreal this CLUSTER F is governments OUT OF CONTROL.
It gets ride of spiders.

I am hoping that Trump is able to use this whole COVID coronavirus thing to get China to address the FENTANYL situation. A lot of that crap comes from China (via Mexico in many cases) and has actually killed far more people than are actually infected with coronavirus up to this minute.
Trump gets stuff done, and I hope he gets results on this fentanyl thing.
Shall I ping you to the next one?
ROFL!!!
BLAME it on Chinese tourists. Lock down VEGA$...natural mountain barriers...a couple of interstates to seal off...Nellis AFB if stuff gets too crazy.
QED
If you do that then that will be all you do today.
You should post something more newsworthy.
Not sure if you’re aware but coronavirus is in the news.
Also, if the subject line mentions anything about the virus, you should have the ability to ignore it and move on to the next article.
Jokes aside, the stock market will likely tank another 10-20% this week.
We haven’t had a test until a couple of days ago and the accuracy of it is in question. We likely have 50,000 infected already in the U.S.
Trump is the man in charge and the MSM is already calling it “TrumpVirus” and “TrumpSlump” is their new spin.
They are trying to drive up panic, chaos, collapse the economy, and get a communist nominee elected president during a national crisis.
What could go wrong?
And that would be different how?
Friday, I visited a small south west Virginia town many miles off the interstate. I stopped at a small market to get some coffee and met a woman with hair dyed bright blue.
She was wearing a mask.
Got to give Pelosi and the Cali Democrats credit for promoting the spread of the virus. Between open borders, sanctuary cities, mental health and the homeless issues, the jackass party has set up a perfect storm for a disaster.
It looks like so much about this virus is not known.
Screw that, blame GLOBALISTS. They all agreed to give China the L4 lab, in exchange for a promise not to do weapons research. How did that work out?
One can also blame GLOBALISTS for creating the monster (China) that we have today - a wealthy, manufacturing, giant, which makes North Korea look like a free society, and with the capability to bring the West to its knees economically.
The GLOBALISTS made decisions, beginning in the 1970s...and this is the result.
It gets ‘ride’ of spiders? I know you meant rid, but I couldn’t resist.
Thanks for reporting, bert. I was in downtown Detroit at the casinos yesterday. Motor City & MGM were as packed as I’ve ever seen them...wait in lines to go to the bathroom. I saw maybe 4 or 5 masks all day. Typical...even before this event.
