Nancy Pelosi congratulated Senate Democrats for blocking $ 250 billion in coronavirus relief funding for small businesses .
Speaking on MSNBC , Pelosi congratulated her colleagues in the Senate for blocking an emergency extension to the Paycheck Protection Program , despite millions of small businesses relying on its funding that could run out as early as Friday .
The PPP had set out $ 350 billion in forgiveable loans to help these businesses through the coronavirus pandemic , with 880,000 applications for a total of $ 217 billion being approved by Monday .
“ So last week when they came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trillion dollars in 48 hours , I said , ‘ well I don ’ t think , let ’ s see how we can open this up to many more people , ' ” Pelosi said .
“ So Chuck Schumer and I , this all happened on the Senate side and I congratulate the Senate Democrats , they went to the floor when Mitch McConnell went in for this [ $ 250 billion ] and they said they objected.

With around 62 % of the emergency coronavirus funding for small businesses being already allocated , up from 48 % on Friday , and over 200,000 applications for relief still flooding in , it ’ s astonishing to me that Pelosi can celebrate the rejection of this .
Rather than simply passing the bill instead , Pelosi and the Democrats are demanding extra billions to go towards hospitals and healthcare facilities to help fight the coronavirus , which is in fairness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but also want to guarantee that women and minorities will be the first to receive any of the small business loans !

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-15--Democrat Senator: Coronavirus Pandemic Is Trump’s Fault, China & WHO Not To Blame

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy put the blame firmly on President Trump , not China or the WHO , for the coronavirus pandemic .
Speaking to Anderson Cooper on CNN , Senator Murphy said that the reason that “ we ’ re in the crisis that we are today is not because of anything that China did , it ’ s not because of anything the WHO [ World Health Organization ] did , it ’ s because of what this president did.
” Murphy said that because President Trump “ didn ’ t take this virus seriously , ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the situation was a whole lot worse than it could have been .
“ We weren ’ t going to be able to keep every case out of the United States , but we didn ’ t have to have tens of thousands of people dying , ” Murphy added .

They created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.4 million tests in collaboration with a German manufacturer .
And so , had we been working with the WHO early on , we might be in a very different position here being able to test twice as many , three times as many people as we have .

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy put the blame firmly on President Trump, not China or the WHO, for the coronavirus pandemic.
Murphy: Trump “Didn’t Take This Virus Seriously”
Speaking to Anderson Cooper on CNN, Senator Murphy said that the reason that “we’re in the crisis that we are today is not because of anything that China did, it’s not because of anything the WHO [World Health Organization] did, it’s because of what this president did.” Murphy said that because President Trump “didn’t take this virus seriously,” and the administration was so “cavalier,” the situation was a whole lot worse than it could have been.
“We weren’t going to be able to keep every case out of the United States, but we didn’t have to have tens of thousands of people dying,” Murphy added.
Anderson asked Murphy about President Trump’s defunding of the WHO, noting that “it’s clear the WHO has said very positive things about China, and kind of downplayed their lack of transparency,” with Anderson highlighting that the official “Chinese death tolls right now just seem ludicrously low.”
RELATED: Pelosi Sides With WHO Over America: Claims Trump’s Move to Halt Funding Is ‘Illegal’
Murphy responded by claiming that “pulling money out of the WHO has nothing to do with keeping America safe,” and that President Trump is simply “trying to find scapegoats” for the crisis:
Let’s be clear, early on, in this crisis, there was no bigger cheerleader for China and their response to coronavirus than President Donald J. Trump. It was President Trump, who on 12 different occasions, praised President Xi’s efforts to control coronavirus, specifically praised China’s transparency, which we now know was a complete joke. And so, the president is engaging in sort of middle school grade deflection, trying to blame the WHO for something that he was responsible for. And the fact of the matter is, while the WHO is imperfect, in the early days of this virus, they invested in testing. They created, by the end of February, 1.4 million tests in collaboration with a German manufacturer. And so, had we been working with the WHO early on, we might be in a very different position here being able to test twice as many, three times as many people as we have.
Murphy: “Weaker As a Nation If We Pull Out”
The Senator concluded that America would be “weaker as a nation if we pull out of the WHO,” because there is “no way to stand up an effective, international anti-pandemic program without them.”
This is, of course, total nonsense. The United States is the biggest funder of the WHO, so Trump’s pull of funding is the greatest way to teach them a lesson for cozying up to China and refusing to criticize them. If this forces the WHO to stop their pro-CCP behaviour, then it will absolutely be keeping America safe, no matter what some Democrat Senator says.

A mass protest against the coronavirus lockdown took shape at Michigan’s state capitol on Wednesday, where residents vocally opposed Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order.
A group called the Michigan Conservative Coalition organized the rally, in which the protesters were urged to stay in their cars. Promoted as a Facebook event called “Operation Gridlock,” citizens were encouraged to drive their cars to Michigan’s capitol of Lansing, hopefully creating a traffic jam to make a point.

“Everyone, every citizen, every business owner needs to get out of their house, out of their chair and get in their car, or truck, or anything that is legal to drive on taxpayer funded roads,” the Facebook event text read. “Then drive to Lansing to circle the Michigan Capitol Building at 100 N. Capitol Avenue at noon on April 15.”
Protesters were encouraged to honk their horns during the car rally.
However, some people did not stay in their vehicles.

Paul McCartney Blasts China, Demands They Crack Down On Wet Markets – ‘Whoever Is Responsible For This Is At War With The World’

Paul McCartney of the legendary band “ The Beatles ” just defied the PC liberal entertainment industry by courageously calling out China over the coronavirus , which has ravaged the world after originating in the Chinese city of Wuhan .
During an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday , McCarney demanded that China crack down on the wet markets where COVID-19 originated , and that other celebrities join him in pressuring them to do so .
“ I really hope that this will mean that the Chinese government — like you say they ’ ve got power , it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — let ’ s hope they say , ‘ OK , guys , we have really got to get super hygienic around here.
’ And all those kinds of things .
Let ’ s face it , it is a little bit medieval eating bats , ” McCartney said .
This interview came after the Chinese government allowed wet markets to reopen and Wuhan and other cities .
The iconic singer cited this as why it ’ s more important than ever for celebrities to call on Beijing to close these wet markets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good idea , ” McCartney said .
“ They don ’ t need all the people dying .
And what ’ s it for ?
Just for these quite medieval practices .
They just need to clean up their act… who knows , this might lead to it .
If this doesn ’ t , I don ’ t know what will.
” “ They might as well be letting off atomic bombs , because it ’ s affecting the whole world , ” he added .
“ It ’ s like , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war with the world and itself.
” Not stopping there , McCartney concluded by saying that the Chinese government needs to make sure their people change with the times .
“ They did slavery forever too , and you know , you got ta change things at some point , ” he said .
This comes days after leftwing HBO host Bill Maher issued a similar call to China , describing wet markets as “ the farmer ’ s market from hell.
” He also called on the communist regime in China to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by finally shutting down the markets forever .
It ’ s ridiculous that liberals have become so obsessed with political correctness that they don ’ t even want to hold China responsible for what they have done to the rest of the world .
The least that should be done right now is the closure of the wet markets , but if the western left gets their way , this will never happen .

The Associated Press reports , “ In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus , the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people ; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations .
“ President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day , Jan. 20 .

Li is the chief of a Chinese government medical emergency center .
He said this on January 15th .
He likely knew at that point that human to human spread was confirmed .
That was the same day Li was appointed leader of a group preparing emergency plans for a virus response , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really believed there was no human to human transmission , then why prepare a response ?
Six days .
Those were days that could have saved countless lives .
Yet the Chinese were silent .
It is amazing that American Democrats support them in their continual campaign to lie about their part in the beginning of the virus .
Perhaps it is socialist to socialist courtesy .
“ This is tremendous , ” said Dr. Zuo-Feng Zhang , an epidemiologist at UCLA .
“ If they took action six days earlier , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical facilities would have been sufficient .
We might have avoided the collapse of Wuhan ’ s medical system.

“ Doctors in Wuhan were afraid , ” said Dali Yang , a professor of Chinese affairs at the University of Chicago .
“ It was truly intimidation of an entire profession.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-15--Hollywood Explodes After Trump Stops Funding To WHO: ‘F***ing Moron’

Hollywood threw yet another massive temper tantrum on Tuesday against Donald Trump after the president defunded the World Health Organization ( WHO ) for their failings when it came to COVID-19 .
Trump had no choice but to cease funding WHO given the fact that they have been spreading lies about the coronavirus since January , causing the deaths of thousands of Americans .
However , this did not stop the liberal elites of Hollywood from having full-on meltdowns about Trump ’ s announcement .
Frozen actor Josh Gad used a series of fake news lies to attack Trump .

Alec Baldwin , who should really be thanking Trump for making him relevant again with his impression of the president on “ Saturday Night Live , ” also got in on the action .
“ The WHO has done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So naturally , a jealous , myopic , blame seeking Trump hates them , ” he wrote .
Unsurprisingly , deranged Hollywood actor and director incorporated the defunding of WHO into his daily anti-Trump meltdown .
“ There are no words to describe the sickness and ignorance on display in the Rose Garden today , ” he wrote .
“ Suffice it to say calling The President of the United States a fucking moron is being kind.
” Hollywood is ignoring the fact that WHO could have stopped all of this had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus from the start , but they were instead more concerned with bashing Trump .
When the president put restrictions on travel from China on January 31 , he was slammed by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , the WHO Director General .
“ There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade , ” Ghebreyesus said on February 2 , adding that the travel restrictions would not stop the pandemic and would only “ have the effect of increasing fear and stigma , with little public health benefit.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deny that the Chinese government tried to hide how dangerous coronavirus really was , allowing infected people to travel out of the city of Wuhan and spread it all over the globe .
Hollywood liberals did not let these facts get in the way of their Trump attacks , however .

” AOC ’ s legitimizing of Reade ’ s claims runs contrary to the media narrative that all allegations against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but those against Democrats should be silenced .
The New York Times , for example , waited quite some time to report on Reade ’ s story .
When they eventually did , they claimed there was “ no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden , beyond hugs , kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.
” And even then , when the Biden campaign complained about the report , the Times happily eliminated the second half of that sentence .
Whether the Times wants to admit it or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conduct that has made numerous women uncomfortable .
Several have accused him of either inappropriate or unwanted touching .
Evidence through imagery has abounded for some time , but the actual allegations began with former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores , who alleged Biden inappropriately kissed her and smelled her hair .
Failing to discuss these allegations is the “ exact opposite of integrity ” AOC said , warning that it is “ not okay ” to prioritize beating Trump over “ very legitimate thing [ s ] .
” In a telephone interview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days ago , Ocasio-Cortez said she would support Biden , but vowed the process in getting there would “ be uncomfortable for everyone involved .

Media is Running Cover
AOC’s legitimizing of Reade’s claims runs contrary to the media narrative that all allegations against Republicans or conservatives are fair game, but those against Democrats should be silenced.
The New York Times, for example, waited quite some time to report on Reade’s story. When they eventually did, they claimed there was “no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”
And even then, when the Biden campaign complained about the report, the Times happily eliminated the second half of that sentence.
the New York Times accurately (and hilariously) tweeted a list of Joe Biden’s sexual misconduct, then erased it from the story, then deleted the tweet altogether.

Believe Some Women
Whether the Times wants to admit it or not, Biden does have a history of conduct that has made numerous women uncomfortable.
Several have accused him of either inappropriate or unwanted touching.
Evidence through imagery has abounded for some time, but the actual allegations began with former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, who alleged Biden inappropriately kissed her and smelled her hair.
Eight women have accused Joe Biden of inappropriately touching them. One alleges sexual assault. When Lucy Flores came forward, Elizabeth Warren said, “Joe Biden needs to give an answer.” To date, Joe Biden has failed to adequately answer for these accusations.#UnEndorseBiden https://t.co/ZCF9HEu7E0 pic.twitter.com/ZmPRiPnwxC — 🔥ASisterforBernie🔥 (@BernForBernie20) March 27, 2020
Failing to discuss these allegations is the “exact opposite of integrity” AOC said, warning that it is “not okay” to prioritize beating Trump over “very legitimate thing[s].”
In a telephone interview with the New York Times a few days ago, Ocasio-Cortez said she would support Biden, but vowed the process in getting there would “be uncomfortable for everyone involved.”
She’s keeping her word.

Senator Ted Cruz took apart former President Barack Obama ’ s wild claims that Republicans have a propaganda network working to dismantle the truth .
On Tuesday , Obama made a long-awaited endorsement of Democrat Joe Biden for President .
As he is known to do , Barack took a few subtle jabs at the opposition .
In what many have concluded was a shot at Fox News – the only network that at least tries to provide both sides in their reporting – Obama claimed there is a massive right-wing media complex out there aiding President Trump .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is well-versed at doing – dividing the country during a time of crisis .
He claimed the Republican party is “ not interested in progress , ” but instead are “ interested in power.
” “ The other side has a massive war chest , ” he whined .
“ The other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth.
” This is a man who covered up a massive gun-running scheme by the federal government in Operation Fast and Furious , said he never spied on Americans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and told the nation that four Americans died in Benghazi because of a YouTube video .

That said , Cruz ( R-TX ) wasn ’ t having it , pointing out to Obama that the left has a firm grip on the media bias department .
“ ‘ We ’ ve only got ABC , CBS , NBC , CNN , WaPo , NYT [ and ] just about every other newspaper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweeted .
“ ‘ How can we compete on [ money ] and propaganda ? '
” Liberal media bias has been well-established for decades .
Further , the media became a caricature of itself when they spent eight years glossing over every scandal out of the Obama administration and fawning all over themselves to perpetuate a myth that Barack was actually a capable President .
In the era of Trump , the media bias is almost at a level seen in other countries .
How bad is the left-wing propaganda machine ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ admitted that Obama was able to get away with lying to the American people because he knew his media allies would cover it up .
