In the never-ending Trump Derangement that fuels the media , now mainstream outlets are reporting that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine – which some medical experts are claiming can effectively fight coronavirus – is dangerous .
This is the same drug President Trump has wanted to fast track – so of course it ’ s “ dangerous !

AOC just blasted the GOP for not passing the coronavirus relief bill in the Senate , despite the fact it was Democrats who blocked it .

Despite vows not to vote for any package from the White House , notwithstanding House Speaker Nancy “ Nanking ” Pelosi ( D-CA ) writing a bill of her own , although media attacks persisted on the GOP legislation , it looks like today the Senate will vote for the nearly $ 2 trillion Trump relief package and send it to the president for his signature .
“ Nanking ” ?
Well , if the Democrats are going to do the bidding of the Chinese Propaganda Ministry their public labels ought to reek of it .
Shanghai Chuck Schumer ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way on more than several budget proposals they tried to include in the bill that had nothing to do with the virus .
So far the GOP only had to agree to an oversight mechanism for a business fund that will be used by the Federal Reserve to pump more than $ 4 trillion back into the economy .
DC GOP insiders say that oversight was intentionally left out of the plan by the president , knowing the Democrats would balk , so that he could look like he was compromising on something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s the old political trick of asking for the stars so you can get the moon .
There is also word that if push comes to shove the GOP senators who are quarantined may show up in the Senate to vote while wearing hazmat-like protective gear .
While negotiations are still going on as of press time and Democrats have not given up all their pork requests , including money for DC ’ s Kennedy Center and a post office bailout , a vote is expected tonight .
Senate GOP Leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it clear he will hold firm on the great majority of budget priorities sent from the White House .

It is likely that most , if not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make it into the final bill .

DC GOP insiders say that oversight was intentionally left out of the plan by the president, knowing the Democrats would balk, so that he could look like he was compromising on something he had already planned on doing. It’s the old political trick of asking for the stars so you can get the moon.
There is also word that if push comes to shove the GOP senators who are quarantined may show up in the Senate to vote while wearing hazmat-like protective gear.
While negotiations are still going on as of press time and Democrats have not given up all their pork requests, including money for DC’s Kennedy Center and a post office bailout, a vote is expected tonight. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made it clear he will hold firm on the great majority of budget priorities sent from the White House.
MORE NEWS: Five worst pandemics in world history
Democrat non-virus related matters still being negotiated include diversity programs, doing away with Trump executive orders on collective bargaining, limits on airline carbon emissions, a return of the “ObamaPhone,” a $15 minimum wage, and pension funding for community newspapers. None have anything to do with the virus.
It is likely that most, if not all, of those provisions will not make it into the final bill. This sets up a stunning win for Trump on the economic rescue package.

Setting up one of their fall campaign messages , the Democrats , Nancy Pelosi , and the Biden campaign have charged that the Trump administration did not take the coronavirus seriously , saw it as a “ hoax , ” was not ready for it , and fired vital pandemic personnel before the virus hit our shores .
All of those charges have been exposed as lies .
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and even the leftist Washington Post in separate pieces found that the U.S. was the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2019 , a mere several months ago .
It was written by over 100 experts from 13 nations .
The Democrat “ hoax ” charge has been nullified by numerous media outlets , including the Associated Press reporting that claim “ distorts the facts.
” Did Trump fire vital health security workers ?
No again .
Fox News reports , “ Rear Adm. R. Timothy Ziemer reportedly was ousted as senior director , and no replacement was named .

The White House says the NSC remains involved in responding to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ A senior administration official said earlier this month that the NSC ’ s global health security directorate was absorbed into another division where similar responsibilities still exist , but under different titles .

” If this is all the Democrats have they might as well pack up their kit and go home .
The blatant lies , so easily refuted even by their own media allies , will also not be given the time of the day by a majority of the American people .

Yesterday , Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent out a notice to the state ’ s licensed healthcare professionals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relaying the importance of adhering to the order because the coronavirus pandemic “ has increased demands for hospital beds and has created a shortage of personal protective equipment needed to protect health care professionals and stop transmission of the virus.

” “ We must work together as Texans to stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that our healthcare professionals and facilities have all the resources they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , ” Paxton said in the notice .
“ No one is exempt from the governor ’ s executive order on medically unnecessary surgeries and procedures , including abortion providers .
Those who violate the governor ’ s order will be met with the full force of the law.
” This immediately “ triggered ” Milano , who is a staunch pro-abortion advocate .
“ Texas is using this crisis to prevent access to abortion care , ” she wrote to her 3.6 million followers .
Liberals like Milano just love to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are dealing with an international pandemic that has brought the entire world to it ’ s knees , and all medical resources need to be devoted to fighting it so that it doesn ’ t take any more lives .

‘The View’ Gives Biden Free Pass For Response To Swine Flu – Allows Him To Relentlessly Bash Trump Over Coronavirus

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared on the ABC talk show “ The View ” on Tuesday morning and the hosts gave him the easiest questions possible while also giving him a free pass for his handling of the Swine flu pandemic during his time as vice president , despite previously describing his response as “ irresponsible.
” Back in 2009 , long before Biden was trying to run for president against Donald Trump , “ The View ” creator Barbara Walters called his response to the H1N1 pandemic “ irresponsible , ” according to The Daily Caller .
Radically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , “ Joe Biden doesn ’ t remember he ’ s the Vice President sometimes .
He thinks he ’ s playing card games with his friends in Atlantic City .
I mean , I like the guy but I think that he doesn ’ t realize that he is number two… ” Today , however , the hosts of “ The View ” were singing a very different tune about Biden , who now can do no wrong in their eyes .
Instead of confronting him about his mistakes with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him how he would handle coronavirus differently than Trump , giving him his first window to attack the president .
“ You said that Trump has neglected , minimized and lied about the virus .
I completely agree with that .
And now you ’ re doing daily briefings on the virus from your home in Delaware .
I thank you for that .
Is this to counter the misinformation that Trump is putting out that you ’ ve referenced before ?
” co-host Sunny Hostin asked , with leading questions .
Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis , Americans need to have confidence that they are getting accurate information from their leaders : “ The American people can handle the truth but what they can ’ t handle is something that ’ s not true that they believe in a moment and then they found out it ’ s not true .
They lose confidence .
The president has to be instilling confidence in the American people that we know how to deal with this virus .
Look , all the way back in January the intelligence community was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re going to have a real problem with this virus .
On January 27th I wrote a piece for U.S. News and World Report saying we must be prepared , and it wasn ’ t taken seriously .
We ’ re a day late and a dollar short , but now we ’ re catching up.
” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg then got in on the action with another easy question , asking , “ What are the three first things you would do if you were president right now that would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by saying that he would try and help American workers , though he didn ’ t go into much detail about how he would actually do that .
Instead of calling him out for this , Hostin jumped back in to give him another softball question he could easily use to attack Trump .
“ Republicans have been reluctant to openly criticize the president ’ s initial response to the virus .
Democrats haven ’ t , ” she said .
“ What do you say to Americans who feel that Democrats are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we should be standing behind the president because this is an American problem ?
” I think there ’ s truth to both sides , ” he replied .

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared on the ABC talk show “The View” on Tuesday morning and the hosts gave him the easiest questions possible while also giving him a free pass for his handling of the Swine flu pandemic during his time as vice president, despite previously describing his response as “irresponsible.”
Back in 2009, long before Biden was trying to run for president against Donald Trump, “The View” creator Barbara Walters called his response to the H1N1 pandemic “irresponsible,” according to The Daily Caller.
Radically left-wing co-host Joy Behar added at the time, “Joe Biden doesn’t remember he’s the Vice President sometimes. He thinks he’s playing card games with his friends in Atlantic City. I mean, I like the guy but I think that he doesn’t realize that he is number two…”
Today, however, the hosts of “The View” were singing a very different tune about Biden, who now can do no wrong in their eyes. Instead of confronting him about his mistakes with the Swine flu pandemic, the hosts asked him how he would handle coronavirus differently than Trump, giving him his first window to attack the president.
“You said that Trump has neglected, minimized and lied about the virus. I completely agree with that. And now you’re doing daily briefings on the virus from your home in Delaware. I thank you for that. Is this to counter the misinformation that Trump is putting out that you’ve referenced before?” co-host Sunny Hostin asked, with leading questions.
Biden responded by saying that in times of crisis, Americans need to have confidence that they are getting accurate information from their leaders:
“The American people can handle the truth but what they can’t handle is something that’s not true that they believe in a moment and then they found out it’s not true. They lose confidence. The president has to be instilling confidence in the American people that we know how to deal with this virus. Look, all the way back in January the intelligence community was saying that it’s coming, we’re going to have a real problem with this virus. On January 27th I wrote a piece for U.S. News and World Report saying we must be prepared, and it wasn’t taken seriously. We’re a day late and a dollar short, but now we’re catching up.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg then got in on the action with another easy question, asking, “What are the three first things you would do if you were president right now that would specifically help Americans?”
Biden replied by saying that he would try and help American workers, though he didn’t go into much detail about how he would actually do that. Instead of calling him out for this, Hostin jumped back in to give him another softball question he could easily use to attack Trump.
“Republicans have been reluctant to openly criticize the president’s initial response to the virus. Democrats haven’t,” she said. “What do you say to Americans who feel that Democrats are in a way politicizing the issue and that we should be standing behind the president because this is an American problem?”
I think there’s truth to both sides,” he replied. “That’s why if you notice on what I’ve been doing, I’ve not been criticizing the president but I’ve been pointing out where there’s disagreement as to how to proceed. As I pointed out yesterday in a presentation I made online which I guess 3.5 million people watched it or something like that I was told, is that he’s not — the coronavirus is not his fault but the lack of speed with which to respond to it has to move much faster.”
Biden ended by saying that he does not want the coronavirus response to be political, even though he has regularly used the pandemic to bash Trump himself.
Assuming Biden secures the Democratic presidential nominations, as it appears that he will, you can expect to see many more of these softball interviews in the coming months. The mainstream media knows that Biden is a sub-par candidate with a ton of baggage, so they will work overtime to portray him positively and give him the easiest interviews possible in the hopes that he will beat Trump in November.
The media can try to cover for Biden all they want, but most Americans will see right through it. In the end, the American people are much smarter than the media give us credit for, and we won’t fall for their nonsense.

A robust turnaround in the spring would also foil Democrat plans to make this into a campaign issue in the fall and do all they can now to impede efforts against the coronavirus .
