Roy stood by the President and his decision to hold the WHO accountable.
“My understanding is that these are dollars that Congress have given to the White House to deal with these kinds of things,” he argued.
“In a broader sense, the President has the latitude to make these decisions and particularly with something like this where it is involving our national security interest, clearly health is impacting our national security and we’re seeing that in real time right now,” Roy added, concluding that America should “encourage the WHO to step up and get it right,” rather than siding with “the communists in China” and “against the interests of the United States.”

He went on to say that this shows that the Democrats really don’t care about what’s in the best interests of the American people, and instead want to stick by the Chinese communists. Right now the Democrats have blocked $250 billion in payments from going towards small businesses.
“I’m talking to [small business owners] every day in my district, they are struggling for capital, hoping to try and keep their businesses alive so they can employ people and hopefully get our economy restarted again,” Roy said. “Meanwhile, Democrats want to play politics instead of actually providing the capital necessary to start businesses.

During her visit, well after the President had instituted a travel ban from China and declared a public health emergency, Pelosi was seen traveling about Chinatown urging Americans to shop and eat there.

“It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s not just Asian-owned now. You see in Italy where the fashion shows and all of that were done without an audience because people were not coming,” Pelosi replied.
“So, again, this fear is – I think – unwarranted in light of the precautions that are being taken here in the United States.”
On February 24 there were 15 cases of the coronavirus confirmed in the U.S. Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown & urged Americans to shop & eat there. “Everything is fine,” she said. “All is well.” “Come to Chinatown… We just want everybody not to be afraid to come to Chinatown.” pic.twitter.com/SI9EELciYx — Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) April 15, 2020

She is as cold and frigid to the American people as the ice cream.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-16--Trump Says NYC Falsely Inflating Virus Death Figure

Speaking at the Wednesday daily White House virus briefing President Trump said that New York City was artificially inflating its virus death toll .
He implied it was to garner federal funds , political attention , and federal resources .
Said the president , “ I see this morning where New York added 3,000 [ sic ] deaths because they died .
Rather than [ a ] heart attack , they say heart attack caused by this…If you look at it , that is it .
Everything we ( at the federal level ) have is documented and reported great.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York Bill DeBlasio responded , “ These were people with names , hobbies , lives .
They leave behind grieving loved ones .
They deserve to be recognized , not minimized.
” What the what ?
Names ?
Uh , yeah .
Hobbies ?
I ’ ve heard of a good talking point pivot , but that one strains credulity .
Minimized ?
How did the president minimize anyone by pointing out an artificial inflation of a death toll .
He ’ s talking statistics .
The spokesman is talking politics .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ fair debate .
If we factor out of the death tolls those who have succumbed to other illnesses while they had coronavirus , how much would that effect the numbers ?
A lot .
Last count it would reduce the numbers by 80 % .
It is tragic that these people died .
But coronavirus was the last straw , not the major cause .
The numbers are being inflated for the reasons outlined above .
Federal money flows in , there is the image of the brave governor or mayor nobly fighting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability to extend the writ of government into heretofore sacrosanct individual rights is too tempting a prize for most liberal Democrats to pass up .
Given in New York City we ’ re talking about a mayor who is virtually a Marxist , he has admitted to it more than once , and inflating the numbers becomes more important than effectively fighting the virus by providing legitimate data .

Speaking at the Wednesday daily White House virus briefing President Trump said that New York City was artificially inflating its virus death toll. He implied it was to garner federal funds, political attention, and federal resources.
Said the president, “I see this morning where New York added 3,000 [sic] deaths because they died. Rather than [a] heart attack, they say heart attack caused by this…If you look at it, that is it. Everything we (at the federal level) have is documented and reported great.”
A spokesman for Marxist Mayor of New York Bill DeBlasio responded, “These were people with names, hobbies, lives. They leave behind grieving loved ones. They deserve to be recognized, not minimized.”
What the what?
Names? Uh, yeah. Hobbies? I’ve heard of a good talking point pivot, but that one strains credulity. Minimized? How did the president minimize anyone by pointing out an artificial inflation of a death toll. He’s talking statistics. The spokesman is talking politics. Bloody typical.
And it is a fair debate. If we factor out of the death tolls those who have succumbed to other illnesses while they had coronavirus, how much would that effect the numbers? A lot. Last count it would reduce the numbers by 80%. It is tragic that these people died. But coronavirus was the last straw, not the major cause.
The numbers are being inflated for the reasons outlined above. Federal money flows in, there is the image of the brave governor or mayor nobly fighting the public health demon, and the ability to extend the writ of government into heretofore sacrosanct individual rights is too tempting a prize for most liberal Democrats to pass up.
Given in New York City we’re talking about a mayor who is virtually a Marxist, he has admitted to it more than once, and inflating the numbers becomes more important than effectively fighting the virus by providing legitimate data.

These freedoms are enshrined in the Bill of Rights .
Tucker Carlson interviewed liberal Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Wednesday night on the subject during Tucker Carlson Tonight .

Tucker Carlson interviewed liberal Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Wednesday night on the subject during Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Carlson: “The Bill of Rights, as you well know, protects Americans’ rights — enshrines their right to practice their religion as they see fit and to congregate together to assemble peacefully. By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights in issuing this order? How do you have the power to do that?”
Murphy: “That’s above my pay grade, Tucker. I wasn’t thinking of the Bill of Rights when we did this … we looked at all the data and the science and it says people have to stay away from each other. That is the best thing we can do to break the back of the curve of this virus, that leads to lower hospitalization and ultimately fatalities.”
Notice the dodge, “it’s above my pay grade,” and the pivot to public health, though it wasn’t a public health question. Carlson pressed him.

The idea that obscure pneumonia patients showing up in an obscure city in China in early December could potentially bring the entire civilized world to our knees is not something we’d even entertain in our subconscious.

The scale of the outbreak in the U.S. and the lack of being ready is fair game: lots of people are responsible for that, but shortages of ventilators never materialized, field hospitals have remained empty, and ICUs have been overwhelmed in a handful of hospitals in NYC only – and only for short periods. To solve that, you would need to stomach massive overcapacity in beds nearly all the time – and that would be a terrible waste of health care capital.

California will be the first state in the nation to offer stimulus checks of $ 500 to illegal immigrants to help them cope during the coronavirus crisis .
Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom announced the plan which involves a $ 125 million grant for illegal aliens who have been hurt by the pandemic .
“ We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians , ” Newsom said .
One question arises : How will they know where to send the checks if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Shannon Grove , California ’ s Senate Republican Leader , blasted Newsom for using the pandemic as a time to pursue radical left-wing policies that benefit those who are in the country illegally .
Grove suggested the money would be better served stocking food banks , helping students or aiding local governments .
“ Instead of meeting these urgent needs , Governor Newsom has chosen to irresponsibly pursue a left-wing path and unilaterally secured $ 125 million for undocumented immigrants , ” she objected .
RELATED : Pelosi Sides With WHO Over America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Halt Funding Is ‘ Illegal ’ We know one thing – the Squad will be absolutely thrilled with Newsom ’ s reckless move to provide money to illegal immigrants .
They ’ ve been complaining about it ever since the first stimulus effort was passed .
Ayanna Pressley , the Democrat Representative from Massachusetts , said investment needs to be made for “ the humanity of every individual family and workers ” and “ that includes not leaving behind undocumented and uninsured.
” Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) pushed a bill that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noncitizens , whether holding a [ Social Security Number ] or not , can access these relief payments.
” And , of course , who could forget Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ’ s famous meltdown on the House floor when arguing that illegals who pay taxes should have been considered for stimulus payments ?

Remember , these are the same Democrats holding funding for small businesses in America hostage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said last week , ” the New York Post Editorial Board writes , “ Dems shouldn ’ t block vital aid that they support just because they want other things , too.
” “ Partisanship , after all , should take a back seat during this kind of crisis.
” If it wasn ’ t clear before , it has become crystal clear in the era of President Trump – Democrats will never prioritize the needs of the American people over the needs of those who break the law .

“We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians,” Newsom said.
One question arises: How will they know where to send the checks if they’re ‘undocumented’?
Irresponsible
Shannon Grove, California’s Senate Republican Leader, blasted Newsom for using the pandemic as a time to pursue radical left-wing policies that benefit those who are in the country illegally.
Grove suggested the money would be better served stocking food banks, helping students or aiding local governments.
“Instead of meeting these urgent needs, Governor Newsom has chosen to irresponsibly pursue a left-wing path and unilaterally secured $125 million for undocumented immigrants,” she objected.
DISGRACE: Gavin Newsom just announced California is giving out $125 million in cash payments to illegal aliens Taxpayers are funding this lawless sham Millions of American citizens are out of work and he’s giving THEIR money to illegals He should resign in shame.

Squad Will Be Happy
We know one thing – the Squad will be absolutely thrilled with Newsom’s reckless move to provide money to illegal immigrants.
They’ve been complaining about it ever since the first stimulus effort was passed.
Ayanna Pressley, the Democrat Representative from Massachusetts, said investment needs to be made for “the humanity of every individual family and workers” and “that includes not leaving behind undocumented and uninsured.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) pushed a bill that she believes would “ensure that all noncitizens, whether holding a [Social Security Number] or not, can access these relief payments.”
And, of course, who could forget Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s famous meltdown on the House floor when arguing that illegals who pay taxes should have been considered for stimulus payments?

Shameful
See how hard they fight for illegal aliens?
Remember, these are the same Democrats holding funding for small businesses in America hostage.
“As [Mitch] McConnell said last week,” the New York Post Editorial Board writes, “Dems shouldn’t block vital aid that they support just because they want other things, too.”
“Partisanship, after all, should take a back seat during this kind of crisis.”

If it wasn’t clear before, it has become crystal clear in the era of President Trump – Democrats will never prioritize the needs of the American people over the needs of those who break the law.

Two Florida doctors who are married ended up getting hit with a brutal dose of justice after they ripped down a pro-Donald Trump flag of a senior citizen in Gulf Breeze .
Geoffrey Michael Fraiche , 41 , Laura Ann Webb-Fraiche , 38 , appeared to have no idea that 67 year-old David Brannen had security cameras rolling on his property when they trespassed and ripped down his Trump flag .
Unfortunately for the couple , the entire incident was captured on camera , with police saying the couple drove up to the property in a golf cart with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flag , according to WKRG .
In the video , a man and a woman can be seen grabbing a ladder and approaching a flagpole as a child begs them to stop .
The child is heard crying , saying that they were afraid their parents would go to prison .
“ No , don ’ t do it !
You ’ re gon na go to jail , ” the child says .
“ Stop it !
I don ’ t want you two going to jail.
” Though Laura can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it turns out the kid was the voice of reason here , because jail is exactly where the couple ended up .
Geoffrey and Laura were later arrested and charged with vandalism as well as various minor offenses that include contributing to the delinquency of a minor , trespassing , larceny – petit theft , and criminal mischief – property damage .
Both Geoffrey and Laura are gynecologists who work at different hospitals in the Pensacola area , according to Daily Mail , and they have since been released from police custody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its absolute worst .

House Democrats are using language which compares impeachment to President Trump ’ s order to halt funding to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) .
