    Chuck Schumer, in screeching 180, now says schools must reopen: ‘Uh-oh, we did some internal polling’


    He may not have realized it but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just agreed with what President Trump has been saying for some time.

    The New York Democrat admitted out loud Friday that schools must reopen in order to help the U.S. economy recover, despite continued Democrat contentions that schools would have to remain closed due to fears over the coronavirus pandemic.

    “Chuck Schumer agrees with President Trump that we should open schools!” the caption on the video post on Trump’s YouTube account read on Friday.
    “If we don’t open up the schools, you’re going to hurt the economy significantly because lots of people can’t go to work,” Schumer said at a news conference Friday, emphasizing that a “strong testing, tracing and treatment regime” is necessary.
    “Executive orders leave out schools altogether,” he added in his remarks criticizing a plan by the president to move forward with an executive order to provide relief to Americans.
    “So what happened? Why the sudden 180?” former U.S. Representative for Utah, Jason Chaffetz asked a Fox News panel as he filled in as guest host on “Hannity” Friday. “Donald Trump’s been talking about this for months.”
    “What he said actually was ‘Uh-oh, we did some internal polling and we found out that closing schools and tanking our economy is really not working well for the voters,'” Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy said of Democrats.
    “They don’t like it. This was supposed to, you know hurt Donald Trump but now it’s hurting us. This is what this is all about,” she added. “The only science the Democrats care about, frankly is the science of polling. This was political calculation and they are playing games with our economy, with our livelihoods, and frankly with our children’s childhoods.”

    Allie Beth Stuckey noted that Democrats are “stuck between a rock and a hard place” as parents want kids back in schools and teachers’ unions have been “trying their darndest to make sure that teachers don’t actually have to do their jobs in the fall.”
    Earlier last month, Schumer pushed for the passing of the Coronavirus Child Care and Education Relief Act, which would provide $175 billion to schools to help in their efforts to reopen safely.
    “The federal government must lead the way by funding the safety measures that would open the doors of New York and the nation’s schools in a way that helps ensure the coronavirus does not needlessly spread or infect teachers, kids or staff,” Schumer said last month. “The federal dollars would help schools get PPE, barriers, as well as cleaning and other supplies to make a safe learning environment for children.”
    Trump has been a vocal proponent of reopening schools to in-person education and has, along with Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, threatened to withhold funding from those schools that do not comply. Democrats, on the other hand, have been clamoring for online classes and more cautious reopening efforts.

    Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has called for more distance learning rather than having schools open their physical doors.



    A recent Hill-HarrisX poll showed that more than 80 percent of voters want schools to reopen, using either a combination of online and in-person learning, or just fully online.
    Schumer has spent weeks calling on Washington to ensure the next coronavirus stimulus package includes billions in federal funding to the nation’s education system in order to ready schools to safely reopen. This week, he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have been in protracted negotiations with the White House and Republican leaders to agree on a fifth coronavirus spending bill.

    Democrats including Schumer have openly criticized Republicans over the stalled talks, accusing them of being unwilling to bail out Americans with more money as they themselves continue to stoke fears about reopening businesses and schools in the wake of COVID-19.
    With some locations in the country experiencing a spike in coronavirus cases, and amid the urgency to come to an agreement on another relief bill, talks collapsed between Congress and the White House on Friday. A last-ditch effort as Pelosi and Schumer met with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows also failed to produce any compromise and both sides pointed fingers over who was to blame.
    The president slammed Democrats for being “only interested in bailout money for poorly run Democratic cities and states,” and tweeted that he is “going a different way,” perhaps referring to an impending executive action.

    New funding of $915 billion for states and local governments is being demanded by Democrats while Republicans are trying to control the expense, offering $150 billion instead.
    After the failure of the bipartisan negotiations Friday, Pelosi was asked if perhaps she had overplayed her hand.
    “No, we didn’t. … We haven’t overplayed our hand,” she told MSNBC. “We aren’t overplaying our hand when we are factually presenting what the needs are for our families, for our teachers, for our schools.”
    She and Schumer argued Friday that July’s jobs report was proof that another coronavirus stimulus bill needed to be passed.

    “When the economy starts losing ground, the only choice is for a strong package,” Schumer said at a news briefing, claiming Democrats are “committed to negotiating” and are “willing to compromise.”
    Twitter users weighed in Schumer’s talk about the need to reopen schools, convinced the shift is due to polling showing that the election could be in jeopardy.

    Many school districts nationwide have already told their teachers that whether the the schools are open to the students or not, the teachers will not get paid unless they are in their classrooms teaching form their desks. Most schools already have computers with internet access on the desks of every teacher. I have seen stories of schools installing plexiglass shields on student and desks.

    Apparently the Democrats have taken the attitude of "either the states and cities get what we want or they get nothing." The funny thing is that I don't hear them saying anything about senior citizens on fixed incomes. The cost of living has increased considerably in the last five to six months and it is starting to take a toll.

    Reporter Challenges Trump on Lie About Vets Choice, and He Ends the Press Conference Instead of Answering

    Speaking at his resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, at his second press conference in two days Saturday, President Donald Trump abruptly ended a briefing when a CBS reporter challenged him on a lie he has repeated multiple times. Trump called on White House Correspondent Paula Reid, and she asked, “Why do you keep saying you passed Veterans Choice?” Trump attempted to move on to another reporter, but Reid continued speaking. “It was passed in 2014. But it was a false statement, sir.” Trump said earlier in the press conference that he had passed the Veterans Choice Act, which makes it possible for veterans to use their government health benefits at providers other than Veterans Administration hospitals. In reality, it was passed in 2014 under President Barack Obama.

    Another Trump Record
    The U.S. has surpassed five million virus cases, according to a Times database. At least 161,964 people in the country have died of it.

    The infection total has more than doubled over the past two months. No other country has reported as many infections. In the past week, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida had the most new cases relative to population.


    Still NO NATIONAL PLAN. guess he wants to infect the entire US.

    lol I wasn't aware he said that, however, if Trump had said it the UK media would have made it known, talk about double standards.
    When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.

    WELL IT SEEMS BULLSHITMASTER2 MISSED THIS REPORT, SOOOO I'LL REPOST IT!


    Student Biden called ‘lying dog-faced pony soldier’ says she was humiliated

    https://nypost.com/2020/02/10/student-biden-called-lying-dog-faced-pony-soldier-says-she-was-humiliated/

    The college student branded a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” by Joe Biden said on Monday that being on the receiving end of a dig from the former vice president was “humiliating.”
    Madison Moore, 21, told the Macon Telegraph that for people to wave off the bizarre jibe as a joke was “kind of insulting.”
    “It was kind of humiliating to be called a liar on national TV by the former vice president,” Moore told the newspaper.
    “Instead of answering that question straightforward, his immediate response was to attempt to invalidate me by exposing my inexperience.”
    The Mercer University economics student was at a New Hampshire campaign event on Sunday with a school trip when she asked the Democratic presidential hopeful about the viability of his campaign given his fourth-place standing in the Iowa caucuses.
    Biden responded: “Iowa’s a caucus. Have you ever been to a caucus?”
    When she nodded yes, Biden retorted: “No, you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier,” drawing laughter from the crowd.
    Moore, of Fernandina Beach, Florida, said she was nervous when Biden asked if she’d been to a caucus and nodded yes. She hasn’t been to a caucus, but said she felt that was irrelevant to her question.
    “He has been performing extremely poorly in this race and the fact that he couldn’t just straight answer my question without bullying or intimidating just exacerbates that fact,” Moore told the Telegraph.
    Enlarge ImageMadison Moore (center) listening to Biden speak.AP “I am 21-year old college student, like what the hell do I know? Who cares who I am or my experience. Just answer the damn question.”
    Biden has used the phrase before and his campaign maintains that it’s from a John Wayne movie.
    During a 2018 rally for then-Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, Biden said “there’s a line in a John Wayne movie where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says, ‘This is a lying dog-faced pony soldier.’ ”
    But the 77-year-old may be conflating lines from several films.
    The phrase “dog-faced soldiers” appears in the 1949 John Wayne film “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,” according to Slate, while there are a few references to “pony soldiers” in the 1953 John Wayne movie “Hondo.”
    Biden could have also been referring to the 1952 Tyrone Power western “Pony Soldier.”
    It’s not the first time Biden has put his foot in his mouth on the campaign trail. In December, he called 83-year-old Iowa farmer Merle Gorman a “damn liar” for accusing him of selling access to Ukraine.
    As Biden wrapped up his answer to Moore on Sunday, he conceded her question was legitimate, saying “It’s not a mean question. It’s an honest question,” according to The Washington Post.
