Americans Furious After Discovering Why Pelosi Really Rejected Original Bill
The $2 trillion spending package to boost the economy in response to the coronavirus crisis includes a $350 million pot of money for “Migration and Refugee Assistance” — the latest item in the legislative behemoth that is angering critics.
While a number of items that Republicans objected to got trimmed in the final Senate bill, the Migrant and Refugee Assistance item actually increased by $50 million to $350 million. That’s more than the bill put forward by House Democrats earlier this week, which included $300 million in “Migrant and Refugee Assistance” for the State Department.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla, called it a “poison pill” that put “America LAST.”
Millions of Americans need help now. Dangerous poison pills like $350,000,000 for "Migration and Refugee Assistance" put America LAST.“Democrats: This is not the time to advance your legislative agenda,” he tweeted before the bill passed the Senate late Wednesday. “This is the time to put #AmericaFirst.’

The bill ultimately passed the Senate 96-0 and is expected to pass the House in a voice vote on Friday. It includes a number of measures to boost businesses and help individuals hurt by the economic downturn triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
But it includes controversial items, such as $25 million in funding for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The Senate bill also provides $75 million to each the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. That is down from the $300 million for each that was in the House stimulus bill.

Nation’s Top Doctor Proves Government-Run Healthcare a Disaster
As the virus outbreak spread across the country, the government was forced to step up. Sadly, it was unable to do so. Worries about a lack of testing and needed supplies sparked fears of an out-of-control problem. Then, the private sector did its job. Now, Dr. Fauci is proving what we’ve known for a long time: government has no business running health care.
At the start of the virus crisis, the media was jumping on a narrative to slander Donald Trump. In February and early March, reports indicated that there were not enough testing kits available. Some accused Trump of dropping the ball—even though none of them gave a damn about this disease just a month earlier.
What the media did not report was that the government was not prepared, thanks to the Obama administration. In addition to a depleted federal stockpile (which Obama did not replenish), layers of red tape got in the way of a quick response. Facing a lack of testing ability, the government, under orders by Trump, turned to the private sector.
And they got the job done.
Now, our top infectious disease expert, is praising the private sector over the government.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert, explained Thursday during an open discussion with NBA player Steph Curry that the government “system” caused the delay in coronavirus testing, praising the private sector for stepping up and taking over.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was unable to keep up with the pace for the amount of tests necessary for effective COVID-19 testing, Dr. Fauci explained, suggesting the government simply cannot be expected to outperform the private sector in this regard…
“Right now, the system is changed, predominately because it’s being handed over to the commercial firms who know how to do it,” the doctor continued. “It started off as a public health measure from the CDC, it now needs to be, and is being handed off to, the commercial group.” [Source: Daily Wire]
One of the key things that will shift this situation from a pandemic to a controlled problem will be the involvement of commercial businesses. The CDC was not equipped to handle fast testing—a key in defeating this outbreak. Only when the government turned to private medical companies to handle testing, did things rapidly pick up.
Hmm… what should that teach us? Oh, that the government is not good at handling real problems!? Liberals have for years demanded a government takeover of our health care system. The coronavirus outbreak is proof that this would be a disaster.
It’s only because the heroic efforts of private companies that we will weather this storm. And not just companies providing rapid testing. From auto makers to breweries, private companies are providing life-saving supplies and PPE to battle this disease. By harnessing the power of our businesses and manufacturers, the United States can respond like few countries can.
Government is run by rules and red tape. There’s no getting around that. Even in the best scenario, the CDC would not have been enough to confront a crisis. Only when you have a system that rewards hard work with profits will you see real results.
Because of private companies, Fauci explained, we are able to get testing results in hours not days. Faster results mean better response and better containment. The extreme measures put into place over the last 15 days were largely due to a lack of information. But with testing comes data. Knowing where the worst cases are means the rest of us can go back to normal (sooner).
That wouldn’t have been possible, if the government ran the health care system. Think about that.
Frmr Biden Staffer Drops Bombshell Allegation: Joe Pinned Me to the Wall Then Penetrated Me
It appears that QPQJoe isn't just a toucher/smeller now he's a penetrator !
A woman who accused presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden of sexual misconduct last year is now accusing the former vice president of outright sexual assault.
Tara Reade, who worked as a staffer in Biden’s Senate office from December 1992 to August 1993, told the northern California newspaper The Union in April that Biden inappropriately touched her on more than one occasion.
“He used to put his hand on my shoulder and run his finger up my neck,” Reade told the paper. “I would just kind of freeze and wait for him to stop doing that.”
The allegation came as other women shared stories of Biden making them feel uncomfortable by invading their personal space with his hands and body, or by smelling their hair.
At the time, Biden issued a statement about the accusations from the many women, but stopped short of apologizing.
“Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it,” the statement said.
