Obama and Co. just blinked. The polling for the November elections must be really bad.

...and when we have a few thousand people here and the virus is firmly implanted in the U. S., we may just implement one.

This guy should be the head of the ping-pong department because he is a ding dong.

When faced with this question, he repeatedly said that he couldn’t speak for the White House but that the CDC “was open to all suggestions”. Very much a non-answer. The congressman from LA informed him that he could make that recommendation to the President, then got some word-salad from Frieden.

Try “Delay Tactic.” This administration always does this.

The comrades do what they are told to do. The democrats have voted in the worse of the worse, Ever! Everything is political, therefore, he must not allow the blame to stick to his administration. I say, keep calling and sending those emails to your representatives in a request to ban the flights in that region.

THAT is exactly correct. I watched the hearing and this clown refused to give a yes or no answer to the question, even when instructed to do so.

Where is the photo with obola laughing with team? “Not rule out” sounds a lot like parents saying, “We’ll see kids.”

This is what you get when you hand out government positions in return for political favors. This guy is a total moron. Is he an MD or a phd? In any case he is an embarrassment to himself and to this country.

Rush played one of his statements from today, and it seems he is saying in so many words, that if we cut off travel via air, they will travel here "by land".

In other words, they will get in through our porous southern border.
