House pulls bill that would rescind prior Trump travel ban amid coronavirus outbreak
Fox News ^ | 3/12/20 | Brie Stimson, Marisa Schultz

Posted on 03/13/2020 3:40:30 AM PDT by Libloather

House leadership has pulled legislation from the floor that would have repealed President Trump’s prior travel bans, amid efforts to focus attention on a coronavirus response bill, Fox News has learned.

Democrats made the decision late Wednesday to delay a vote on the No Ban Act to make way for new legislation to help families affected by the virus, said Benjamin Suarato, spokesman for bill sponsor Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. That bill is in limbo amid GOP opposition.

The House, meanwhile, had debated the legislation on Wednesday that was the Democrats’ response to Trump's crackdown that he pledged during the 2016 campaign and that materialized into various travel bans on countries in Muslim-majority regions and beyond.

Since the House already debated and passed a procedural rule on the bill, the No Ban Act can return to the floor after next week’s recess, Suarato said.

The bill was pulled after House Republicans this week urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to shelve the legislation due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Republicans say the No Ban Act, which would rescind the controversial travel ban of several majority-Muslim-countries, would hinder the president’s ability to mitigate the spread of the virus in the U.S.

That bill is in limbo amid GOP opposition.


The bill should go down in an epic flaming crash while Judy Chu is arrested and jailed for treason.

I support what you are saying as the same is happening here in rural VT. That said you are in for a world of flaming for stating your opinion from what appears to be an informed position.

Although, they HAVEN”T been to concerned about exposing the citizenry , including our children in public schools and the like, to the tens of millions of illegals who haven’t been tested for anything let alone deadly viruses or diseases.

“Most having screen names that are 5 to 19 years old but have been strangely dormant for the vast majority of that time.”

I’ve wondered about that. Plus their handles seem to be 3 or for letters and or numbers. Usually little or no profile.

Pro tip: a freeper with no home page is not a freeper.

I’m not worried so much about getting it. I am concerned somebody is going to suggest i come out of retirement. Not happening. After two years of watching Gold Rush and Moonshiners I wouldn’t consider seeing a patient.

Agreed. Every freeper that can understand it should read it immediately. These are the numbers we have been waiting for. We have a brief window, maybe just a couple of weeks, but we can beat it. If the Rats want to claim it was unnecessary later, let them. Just a better reason to round them up and send them to Venezuela.

Only if “all Americans” know about it. They won’t. As the low-IQ people don’t go where the truth is, they’ll believe the MSM spin, whatever that will be. And it won’t be the truth.

I saw a clip of Nancy saying something (she’s automatically tuned out) and it ended with her couldn’t resisting a most proud and snarky smile. Saw it again later and FNC had cut a split second after the smile started. Late last night, FNC snipped it to right before the smile. Something was up.

So the House votes.

On at least two occasions with these school shootings one witness describes shooter(s) very different than the ones everyone else did.

A bit suspect.

The question is not “agenda”. Every publishing platform has an agenda.

The question is whether the facts shown in the article are genuine. I say they are. And its a damn good article that will save many lives.

Funny.
I’m not thinking we should be getting our advice and analysis from Medium rather than the President, his Advisors, the CDC or John’s Hopkins.
Why not use the National Enquirer, the articles are easy reading?

If you want to spread the word about a platform without any agenda other than getting the important facts to the American people here you are:
