thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-12--Europeans Throw Tantrum Over Trump Travel Ban

President Donald Trump took the wise step Wednesday night of putting a temporary halt to travel from Europe , excluding the U.K. , as the coronavirus there has spread to a wider degree than it has here .
The European Union is having a fit over it .
When asked about it , Trump said , “ We get along well with the European leaders , but we had to make a decision and I didn ’ t want to take time , and it takes a long time to make the individual calls… But we had to move quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on us , they don ’ t consult us and I think that ’ s probably one and the same.
” The reaction of the European Union was swift and petulant .
“ The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation , ” EU Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said .
“ The European Union is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.
” If you look at Italy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action has been too little too late .
Why exclude the U.K. from the ban ?
The president said , “ The U.K. basically has got the border , strong borders and they ’ re doing a very good job , they don ’ t have much infection and hopefully they ’ ll keep it that way.
” For the Europeans , who almost daily mock and criticize the president and this nation , to complain about this common sense measure takes a lot of nerve .
Did they think we would put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health crisis in this country ?
Did they not foresee that this dynamic president would not ask for permission from them before taking decisive action to deal with this vital matter ?
They would be better advised to put their own public health policies in order before going to the cry-baby option of criticizing our own .

President Donald Trump took the wise step Wednesday night of putting a temporary halt to travel from Europe, excluding the U.K., as the coronavirus there has spread to a wider degree than it has here. The European Union is having a fit over it.
When asked about it, Trump said, “We get along well with the European leaders, but we had to make a decision and I didn’t want to take time, and it takes a long time to make the individual calls… But we had to move quickly, I mean when they raise taxes on us, they don’t consult us and I think that’s probably one and the same.”
The reaction of the European Union was swift and petulant.
“The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation,” EU Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “The European Union is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.”

If you look at Italy in relation to the virus, their action has been too little too late. Why exclude the U.K. from the ban?
The president said, “The U.K. basically has got the border, strong borders and they’re doing a very good job, they don’t have much infection and hopefully they’ll keep it that way.”
For the Europeans, who almost daily mock and criticize the president and this nation, to complain about this common sense measure takes a lot of nerve.
Did they think we would put our relations with them over a public health crisis in this country? Did they not foresee that this dynamic president would not ask for permission from them before taking decisive action to deal with this vital matter?
They would be better advised to put their own public health policies in order before going to the cry-baby option of criticizing our own.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-12--Biden Campaign Uses Trumpian Argument To Defend Joe’s Antics

Democrats have been arguing for years that President Donald Trump is too crass , that he uses inappropriate language , that he attacks the press—and for these and other reasons he must be removed from office by any means necessary .
But Trump supporters wanted a leader who would tell the truth at all costs .
A long-standing defense of Trump is that we needed a president who would defend himself , and fight for the American working class .
Now Joe Biden is in a series of videos portraying aggression toward American voters on the campaign trail .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Joe gets into a one-on-one verbal argument with a voter who brings up the subject of gun control .
In an ironic turn of events , the Democrats are now forced to use a Trumpian argument to defend their own candidate .
Kate Bedingfield , deputy campaign manager for Joe Biden , tried to spin Joe ’ s campaign trail aggression as spunky ( as opposed to unhinged ) , retweeting the sentiment that “ people are going to love ” seeing Joe get angry with voters .
The Biden campaign is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at an American voter is just a showing of strength .
The campaign maintains that Biden is the guy America needs to beat Trump .
That Democrats need a fighter .
Sound familiar ?
It ’ s right from the Trump playbook .
Except this time it ’ s not genuine as it was with the Trump campaign .
Instead , sadly , it ’ s an attempt to cover up ineptitude in their candidate .
Biden is revealing that he can ’ t regulate his emotions in public .
MORE NEWS : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can Joe Biden make it to November ?
The Biden campaign has been forced into a corner to defend Joe for being volatile and unpredictable .
For years Democrats have been saying these same “ unpresidential ” qualities made Trump a monster .
The Democrats are now positioning Biden as a righteous soldier of democracy—a man who ’ s “ not afraid to say the wrong thing.
” It appears Democrats will have left behind the notion of putting a poised , polished unifier in the White House .
Before this change in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was going to take an anti-Trump to restore the country to sanity .
Now they want to fight fire with fire .
But is trying to beat Donald Trump at his own game in anyone ’ s self-interest ?
Not likely .

Last night , President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office to discuss his strategy to combat the coronavirus and save Americans from it .

It’s an Al Anon situation. We’ve been forced into a relationship with a lethally destructive narcissist. Daddy’s hammered and wants to drive, but Mommy (GOP/Fox News) is too scared to confront him.

Finally, Jon Cryer of “Two and a Half Men” fame simply called for Trump to resign.
This is why it’s impossible to take seriously anything Hollywood liberals say about Trump. The president could literally announce that he’s found a cure for cancer, and Hollywood leftists would still find a way to trash him on social media.
Anyone with half a brain can see that the real “narcissist” here isn’t Trump, it’s each of these self-obsessed stars who think their oftentimes questionable success in the entertainment world gives them the right to lecture the rest of us about politics. They should all stick to what they know how to do, which is play pretend for a living, and leave the politics up to people who actually have some intelligence.

Trump Blames Warren For Sanders Failure

As the Democratic primary season will likely come to an end soon with a Biden victory , the president is getting in his last first-phase divide and conquer licks before he switches to undermining Democratic unity by reminding Bernie and his supporters of their losses .
He will do this all the way until November .
This time Trump picked out a convenient target , the not much loved by Sanders Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts .
He blames her for Sanders ’ loss of the Democratic nomination .
If you look at the numbers , and the Sanders people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is right in his contention that if Warren would have dropped out a month ago , after New Hampshire when it was obvious she was going nowhere and only splitting the Left ’ s vote , Sanders could have probably edged out Biden in several races and Bernie would be closer , if not leading Biden , in the delegate count today .
MORE NEWS : If he wins the Democratic nomination , can Joe Biden make it to November ?
Instead , she stayed and wasted time and money , just inadvertently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders by now , has likely come to another conclusion that is shared by analysts on both sides of the aisle .
The Warren campaign was fueled by mainly one thing : The overwhelming narcissism of the candidate .
Recall for a minute ( I know it is annoying ) her campaign demeanor .
Hardly ever a smile .
No jokes .
She made Mike Bloomberg look like Jerry Seinfeld .
What Liz Warren showed to a national audience was a hard , screeching , self-obsessed politician with an absurd messianic complex .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of them , but a good number .
As they have substituted a cold hard antiquated ideology for the more human pursuits of existence , they are at their core conformist machines .
They attract people who are defined by their unhealthy interest in the lives of others .
Since they can not comprehend anyone who does not share their ideas , such is their level of actual tolerance , they lash out like an inquisition interrogator at those who dare to challenge their ugly precepts .

An Arkansas judge let loose on Hunter Biden after he argued on Tuesday night that he needed a nine-month delay in his child support case partly because of coronavirus fears .
Biden ’ s baby mama , 28 year-old former stripper Lunden Alexis Roberts , has been trying to take him to court to obtain child support for a baby confirmed to be his in a DNA test taken at the end of 2019 .
On Tuesday night , Biden ’ s legal team argued that he could not make the trip from his Los Angeles home to Arkansas partly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wife is due to give birth in the coming weeks .
County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer , however , was not having any of it .
She said that Biden has been “ given considerable leniency regarding continuances and delay , ” adding that it was unreasonable for him to use his wife ’ s pregnancy as an excuse , according to Fox News .
The judge explained that the pregnancy was “ well known to all when the date of March 13 , 2020 for a hearing in Arkansas was agreed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Court.
” She added that media scrutiny is also not a good excuse because it “ will continue ” given the fact that Biden ’ s father is running for president .
As for the coronavirus excuse , Meyer said that “ no health threat specific to the defendant has been identified ” and added that “ life and work will and should continue in our communities and our courts.
” She ended her scathing rebuke of Biden by saying that “ the nine month continuance requested is excessive.
” “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the center of this matter is served by a swift and timely adjudication of the questions of facts and law relevant to the support issue which is the crux of this case , ” Meyer wrote .
“ The defendant ’ s attempts to delay this case are mounting such that one begins to see a pattern of delay.
” “ The defendant ’ s deposition on March 11-12 , 2020 shall not be continued or delayed , ” she concluded .
“ The proposed further delay in the defendant ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requests for continuance , and the duplicitous requests for protective orders all seem to point to a pattern of difficulty in this matter which only serves to underline the serious need for a hearing in this matter.
” Hours later , in a surprising twist , Roberts ’ lawyer Clinton Lancaster informed Meyer that an agreement had been reached .
“ Late last night , after the Court entered the order , we reached a global , final settlement of all issues , ” Lancaster wrote the judge , adding that he could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immediately .
MORE NEWS : If he wins the Democratic nomination , can Joe Biden make it to November ?
If Meyer does approve the order , it would mean that Biden would not need to turn over his financial information to the court .
This will come as a blow to Republicans who were hoping his financial disclosures would give more insight to his overseas business dealings which have come under scrutiny in the past year .
It remains to be seen if Meyer will approve the order .
Regardless of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re glad to see that the judge criticized Biden shirking his paternal responsibilities .
From the very start of this case , he has acted as if he is above the law and the rules therefore do not apply to him .

AOC Mocked For Claiming That Coronavirus Has Exposed ‘Straight Up Racism’ Of Americans Refraining From Chinese Restaurants

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) is being relentlessly mocked online after claiming in an Instagram live video on Tuesday that Americans are racist for not eating at Chinese restaurants due to coronavirus .
“ Honestly , it sounds almost so silly to say , but there ’ s a lot of restaurants that are feeling the pain of racism , ” the freshman congresswoman said .
“ Where people are literally not patroning [ sic ] Chinese restaurants , um , they ’ re not patroning [ sic ] Asian restaurants because of just straight-up racism around the coronavirus.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ocasio-Cortez : that was a pretty silly thing to say !
Of course , Ocasio-Cortez provided no evidence to back up the absurd assertion that Americans have stopped eating at Chinese restaurants since news of the outbreak .
Backlash against Ocasio-Cortez for her comment has been swift , with many taking to social media to mock her .
“ This is like an SNL parody , ” former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee tweeted .
“ She is like literally like not aware of like literally much of like anything , like not even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ word ‘ patroning ’ and she like is literally clueless as to what like racism literally means .
And she is in Congress .
Literally !
” “ 1 um every 7 seconds .
8+ ums per minute .
540 ums per hour .
12,960 ums per day .
4.7 million ums per year , ” another social media user tweeted , with a third adding , “ It ’ s difficult to tell which is more embarrassing… AOC being so incredibly poorly informed or her willingness to prove it to millions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an absurd way , it ’ s also a terrifying reminder that someone this out of touch with reality can be elected to Congress by the radical Left .
We can only hope that Ocasio-Cortez ’ s days in Congress are numbered , because there ’ s no telling what kind of damage she ’ ll do to our country if she continues to gain traction politically .

She is like literally like not aware of like literally much of like anything, like not even fact there’s like literally no word “patroning”and she like is literally clueless as to what like racism literally means. And she is in Congress. Literally! https://t.co/uBqlaoFhmL — Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) March 11, 2020
“1 um every 7 seconds. 8+ ums per minute. 540 ums per hour. 12,960 ums per day. 4.7 million ums per year,” another social media user tweeted, with a third adding, “It’s difficult to tell which is more embarrassing… AOC being so incredibly poorly informed or her willingness to prove it to millions of people.”
While this video is hilarious in an absurd way, it’s also a terrifying reminder that someone this out of touch with reality can be elected to Congress by the radical Left. We can only hope that Ocasio-Cortez’s days in Congress are numbered, because there’s no telling what kind of damage she’ll do to our country if she continues to gain traction politically.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-12--New Southern Border Wall Stops 90% of Illegal Crossings

President Donald Trump ’ s new border wall stops 90 % of illegal border crossings , as opposed to the 10 % that the previous fencing stopped .
Around 131 miles of new border wall has been completed , with another 208 miles under construction , and 414 miles in a pre-construction stage .
Chief Rodney Scott of US Border Patrol , said the new border “ wall system ” was 90 % effective against stopping illegal crossings , an increase of 80 % from before , where only broken fencing was in place .
“ It changes everything , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is a huge return on investment.
” Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz agreed , saying that the system will have a “ huge impact ” on illegal border crossings .
The wall is especially effective at stopping mass crossings in vehicles , as to remove various sections of the wall big enough to get them through takes far too much time and effort for it to be worthwhile for criminal gangs to bother .
“ The border wall system all but stopped that completely , ” Scott said .
“ It shut down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the border wall system , the first thing it does is shut off those drive-throughs , ” he explained .
“ The second thing is , it shuts off massive amounts of people coming through at the same time .
So , it ’ s forced the drug cartels , especially El Chapo ’ s group , Sinaloa , to shift tactics.
” Cartels are now attempting to build expensive tunnels or smuggling drugs through normal border crossings , which aren ’ t effective , according to the Border Patrol Chief .
Money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Patrol is also saving vast amounts of money with the border wall .
Around 150 fewer agents are needed to police the border , which saves approximately $ 28 million in salaries and benefits , and with the new border roads , vehicles that previously ran for 40,000-60,000 miles before being auctioned off , can now run up to 100,000 miles .
This whole thing is a win for the American taxpayer !
Not only are dangerous illegal aliens prevented from gaining access to the country , but their hard-earned tax dollars are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before in protecting this nation .
Thank you , President Trump , for ensuring this wall , and hundreds more miles of it , are being built !

Money Being Saved in All Areas
The Border Patrol is also saving vast amounts of money with the border wall. Around 150 fewer agents are needed to police the border, which saves approximately $28 million in salaries and benefits, and with the new border roads, vehicles that previously ran for 40,000-60,000 miles before being auctioned off, can now run up to 100,000 miles.

This whole thing is a win for the American taxpayer!

Thank you, President Trump, for ensuring this wall, and hundreds more miles of it, are being built!


thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-11--Coronavirus Has Some Chinese Americans Buying Guns In Unprecedented Numbers

Some west coast cities are experiencing a glut of first-time gun buyers .
The unusual aspect of this particular shopping spree is these first-time gun buyers are predominately Asian Americans , Chinese Americans in particular .
A group gun shop owners say traditionally have a low gun ownership rate .
Apparently , many Americans of Chinese descent are worried about people committing “ racist ” violence against them because the coronavirus reportedly originated in Wuhan , China .
The Trace and the Daily Beast co-published an article by Champe Barton indicating coronavirus is the motivation for these new gun purchases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoarding bleach , hand sanitizer , Lysol , bottled water , and—for some reason—toilet paper , others are buying guns .
One Chinese American gun-store owner in Los Angeles said , “ People are panicking because they don ’ t feel secure .
They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese.
” This gun storeowner reported five times more sales than during the last two weeks .
He said he ’ s had some customers ask to buy his entire inventory of personal protection firearms .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s sold out of his Glock-brand handguns .
Gun stores in Washington State are reporting a similar sales explosion .
Wade ’ s Eastside Guns in Bellevue is reporting six times more sales over the previous two weeks .
As with the California gun shop , his customers were also primarily Asian and first-time buyers .
Tiffany Teasdale , an owner of Lynnwood Gun and Ammunition , also reports about six times more in “ sales over the past two weeks , predominately from Chinese-American customers.
” She said they normally sell about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She said they sold 60 firearms on just one recent Saturday .
Teasdale added that other local gun stores have had similar increases .
She said , “ her distributors had run out of 9mm ammunition.
” The Bellevue Police Department is also reporting a “ spike in demand ” for background checks .
BPD ’ s public information officer , Meeghan Black , said , “ The officer who processes these checks said he ’ s been processing the last ten years , and had never seen anything like this in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news stories about “ hate crimes ” against Asian Americans related to the virus .
There seem to be some anecdotal reports of “ racist ” aggression toward Asians in Los Angeles , and I saw a report of a coronavirus-related assault on an Asian person in London , England .
However , in Washington State , they report , “ So far , police departments and civil rights groups in cities experiencing increased gun sales have received no reports of violent attacks against Asians.
” The Bellevue Police Department said it hadn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first U.S. case of coronavirus made headlines .

So , we have to ask why the paranoia in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stoking the fear in this community ?
I read some reports on leftist sources like NPR and CNN regarding what appeared to be individual acts of racist stupidity , but nothing signaling any mass hostility toward Asian folks .
But these outlets are not averse to fake news , so nothing surprises me about their irresponsible reporting .
Avoiding Chinese restaurants ( which I have not done and don ’ t plan to do ) is in most cases not racist but a simple overreaction .
Kind of like the overreaction of buying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neighbors are going to riot against you , with no empirical evidence of that happening .
I ’ m certain if the virus originated in Athens or Paris these same people would avoid Greek or French restaurants .
Or if originating in Dublin , avoid Irish pubs—I don ’ t even want to imagine such a calamity .
While I wince at the fear , paranoid or not , causing Americans of any racial or ethnic group to run out and buy guns , I think there may be a positive that comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reporting , Asian Americans traditionally have had low rates of gun ownership .
So , while this particular xenophobic phantom may not be real , the instinct to want a gun to protect yourself is a good one .

And they want to be prepared for their self-defense .
The thing is , the possibility of becoming a victim of violent crime exists every day , not just when there is some health crisis .

Any increase in people understanding how important the Second Amendment is to our liberty, is a benefit to all Americans. These neophyte gun enthusiasts are learning that even the possibility of an attack from which the government (law enforcement) cannot protect you, exists. And they want to be prepared for their self-defense.
The thing is, the possibility of becoming a victim of violent crime exists every day, not just when there is some health crisis. And the only thing you can count on when someone’s outside your home with a gun, banging on your door, intent on hurting you is you…with a gun…to protect that home and your family.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-11--Barbra Streisand And Rob Reiner Throw Their Support Behind Biden: ‘Trump Must Be Beaten In November’

Stars Barbra Streisand and Rob Reiner are leading the charge in Hollywood to rally behind former Vice President Joe Biden in the presidential race .
Biden ’ s opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) still had lots of supporters in the radically liberal world of Hollywood on yesterday ’ s Super Tuesday , but Streisand and Reiner did everything they could to rally celebrity support for the ex-vice president .
“ I wholeheartedly endorse Joe Biden for President , ” Streisand tweeted at the end of the night .
“ Trump must be beaten in November before he does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , health , safety and standing in the world.
” Streisand had previously appeared to be a supporter of former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg , but being one of the most anti-Trump liberals in Hollywood , she would undoubtedly vote for anyone she feels could beat the president .
Reiner also doubled down on his support for Biden yesterday in a tweet that can only be described as incredibly Melo-dramatic .
“ The survival of Democracy depends on the removal of the most Criminally Corrupt President in our Nation ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s time to put our differences aside and celebrate what unites US by coalescing behind Joe Biden .
This Nov. let ’ s blow the Sick Liar away.
” This marks a huge turn for Biden , who struggled to gain any support in Hollywood over the past few months at all as most celebrities threw their support behind more radical candidates like Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-MA ) , according to Breitbart News .
Hollywood stars like Streisand and Reiner are so full of themselves that they think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they really have no qualifications to be preaching to the rest of us about politics at all .
Anyone who listens to these two nutcases when it comes to the election should really get their head examined .
I don ’ t know about you , but I can ’ t see the meltdowns that Streisand and Reiner have when Trump trounces Biden in November .
Here ’ s to four more years !
