The House and Senate Democrats are so concerned about the American public that they decided to pass a bill stripping the President of his legal authority to impose travel bans to protect American citizens.
CDC’s Dr. Anthony Fauci made it clear that the China travel ban greatly slowed the spread of coronavirus in this country. This evening the President stopped travel from Europe except the UK since Europe did not institute China travel bans and are in much worse shape than we are. Europeans coming into the United States and spreading the illness.
While the spreading of Wuhan Virus continues, Speaker Pelosi is playing politics and trying to keep the President from doing his job.
The president implemented travel bans on China and Iran, two heavily affected nations, and it is well within his responsibilities in this health emergency. Speaker Pelosi is out to stop him for political expediency, without regard for the safety and welfare of her countrymen. THE NO BAN ACT
The “No Ban Act,” introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and co-sponsored by 219 House Democrats, would have prevented the President from immediately implementing a travel ban on China once the outbreak of the coronavirus spread past its origins of Wuhan.

Ignore the scumbags
Well, so much for the bi-partisanship that President Trump asked for last night in his speech.
yep
I thought this was going to be “satire”.
Stupid Rats blinded by mindless hate.
Nothing is lower than a Democrat. I used to think that maybe tapeworms were a lower order, but now I’m sure Democrats are worse. However, a house bill is nothing. It has to pass the senate (fat chance although traitor Mitt will surely vote for it) and then Trump would have to sign it. Posturing by the Democrat filth in the House. Hopefully enough of them will get their walking papers this November to render them only a shrill annoyance.
Well, it is a real virus-— and much info on how it got to the Wuhan biowarfare center....from an Edmonton Canada virology research lab, and a chi-com guest “scientist” kicked out of the country by the Mounties. She took some nasty stuff out with her (secretly). This was in, i think, Heavy dot com.
Russia closed its border with China in January-— has has zero deaths from 20 infected patients (who all had come from Italy)— so they say. But closing borders is clearly the most definitive way to prevent further incursions into our country.
Except that the bill HAS NOT passed the House or Senate.
It was why he asked for the partisanship to stop. This happened in the House last week-— they have spies helping them game this..... my opinion.
DEMOCRATS ARE VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS LYUNG DESTROYERS of GOOD PEOPLE!!
This is why every Demorat needs to be locked up and the keys thrown away.
“no” winning strategies rather.
The thing is, the virus is here. There's no keeping it out. You can't wall it off, it will spread like a cold. Quarantines can slow it, but since people don't know they have it for a while quarantines won't really stop it. It just has to burn through.
The other truth is that nothing Trump could have done would have stopped it short of immediately locking down the borders from all travel and putting the military on southern and northern borders to make sure nobody walks in. Of course some leftist judge would have issued an injunction and it would have all been for naught anyway. But it's too late to even try.
This too shall pass, but it could not have realistically been prevented and it's already begun.
I made a similar comment on another thread. What kind of morons seriously think the dims would handle the corona mess better than Trump? Or maybe they just don’t care or aren’t taking corona seriously.
The Senate bill-— mentioned in the article did pass. It was not this House bill that passed the House last week.
The Senate bill mentioned in the article, of course would never be signed by the President (and it was about the bans having nothing to do, yet,with a virus pandemic. It was about banning Yemenis, and a host of other countries.)
The Senate bill was expedited to SCOTUS, which slapped it down, thus making more difficult to override a non-signature/veto. The article does mix these two bills together but the commonality is demorats... forcing open borders (and some repubs helping them).
Dems are severely lacking for leadership. Ms. Pelosi gave a 20 minute press conference today and said nothing but inuendo and cliche’s to make her vacuous point. She may have been a hotshot legislature 20 years ago, but today she couldn’t administer a neighbor hood watch committee.
The greatest threat to the American people is the Democrat Party PERIOD!
I wonder if Matt Gaetz voted for it, on principal.
Good post. It reminds me of Republicans submitting bills to die under Democrat majorities and with Clinton as president, then going on the Mike Reagan Show or whoever.
Prevention of incursion from the rapidly expanding infections from other countries aid the U.S. in combating the spread here, by combating/treating/quarantining those who have it here.... and NOT letting any more “carriers” in our country.
It is a numbers game,and an information— correct information game to help our citizens help themselves. There is a lot— a ton of misinformation being sent out by dem operatives— and it is propaganda. The clinical people are doing their job. Certainly better than in Italy with an open borders PM, which has had 10K proven infections— and....800 deaths. For real. Lot of chinese back and forth to Italy (thanks to the Italian commie party, btw).
It feels like a tennis match.
Dems oppose the China travel slowdown.
Trump fumbles getting the tests out.
Trump is slow with further travel bans and guards.
Dems oppose the extended travel ban.
Unforced error after unforced error.
