Republicans introduce ‘Pandemic Is Over’ act after Biden’s ‘unacceptable’ extension of COVID emergency
Fox News ^ | January 17, 2023 | Peter Kasperowicz

More than a dozen House Republicans introduced legislation declaring that the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

The Pandemic Is Over Act, from Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., simply states that the public health emergency declared by the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 2020 in response to COVID "shall terminate on the date of enactment of this Act."

"The COVID-19 pandemic is over," Guthrie said. "Despite President Biden admitting this in September, his administration just authorized the 12th extension of the COVID-19 public health emergency. It is long overdue for President Biden to end the COVID-19 public health emergency and relinquish the emergency powers that he just renewed again."

"President Biden’s inaction and lack of transparency on this are unacceptable," he added. "I introduced the Pandemic Is Over Act to prevent any more delays by forcing the Biden administration to finally release and execute a plan that my House Republican colleagues and I have been repeatedly pressing for to unwind the PHE."

The "pandemic" ended the first week of January, 2021. Thereafter came the tyrannical grip on a once free society.

I wish they would quit dangling these fake Carrots in front of us expecting us to believe they are real.

They know they can’t do anything and we know they can’t do anything.

Big show for a dead bill.

The leftists, communists, liberals, socialists, Marxists, fascists, demonKKKrats, anarchists etc don’t want to cede their illegally-grabbed power over us.

Dennis Prager said: “When you hear anyone try to say ‘pandemic’ stop them and demand they admit to the true word ‘lockdown.’”

Another said “The Chinese Murder Virus” for Covid.

Are people going to just accept the Dems’ “emergency” again?

It ain’t going to pass the Senate. It just goes to show you have to take matters into your own hands. I rejected all the mandates, suggestions, etc. from the beginning. If the majority of Americans did the same, then we wouldn’t be in this mess. Here’s a pretty good rule: don’t do the things government tells you, when it has been perfectly legal in the past.

Actually, they got leverage Op..if they know how to use it.

But it’ll be just like our county commissioners folding because somebody said they’ll get put in the crow bar hotel after the election here in AZ.

How did that work out?

All they are doing is boasting because they think we are stupid enough to believe it will go somewhere so we will send them campaign dollars. “Look! I am faking you out with stuff you want to hear, so send me money!”.

To even present it as something substantial or possible is a lie and con from the start. Even the Dems know this and are paying absolutely no attention to it. They know they have it squashed before the Pubs ever introduce it.

They need to concentrate on what they CAN do and have the powers to do and quit wasting our time with the dog and pony show. Two years goes by fast and they are wasting time with impossible con jobs.

I’m just not stupid enough to chase after fake Carrots like they think. They are wasting time by not concentrating on what they CAN do.

“it keeps their devil hands busy fending us off”

Unfortunately it doesn’t. They are smarter than we are. They absolutely know they have nothing to fear. In fact... I can hear them chuckling already just because they are wasting everyone’s time.

The Dems are thinking “Good, stay busy wasting time and energy on the impossible instead of something substantial we need to be truly concerned about”.

Make up your mind

Is it

We can’t do anything
Or
We can do something
?
.

You’re just a divisionist.

Or another bot.
