There was a picture of only one president in my house growing up in the 1980s and it was not Ronald Reagan. The president on our family wall was John F. Kennedy. He would be turning over in his grave at what his party has done, increasingly so through the decades and culminating in these past two days.
When it seemed apparent that a relief bill, that the American people had been waiting for, was going to be passed it was Nancy Pelosi who killed it. She was assisted by her Senate ally Chuck Schumer. After previously signaling that everything was good to go the Democrats pulled the plug on the relief bill when they believed they could put their ideological agenda into a bill related to the Wuhan coronavirus.
Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich recently published the list of Democrat demands.
None of the items listed have anything to do with providing direct relief to the American people. Required early voting? Union bargaining? Cancellation of postal debt? Climate change? Really?! Are you kidding? Senate Minority Schumer says on the floor of the Senate that their thoughts are with us. Their thoughts are not with us nor are the Democrat leaders, as people, with us. If they were they wouldn’t be thinking about the other things we argue about during this time.
The Democrats will not pass bills incrementally, as the Republicans have done. Instead, they hold bills hostage in order to get everything they want beyond the immediate issue of the Wuhan coronavirus. They won’t even let the people get their checks or unemployment insurance extended. Instead, they hold us hostage too.
They will keep coming for our guns, our healthcare, our religion and now blatantly hold our livelihood in their very hands. They finally began admitting to the first three issues during recent election cycles and their actions show our livelihood, far beyond economic policy disagreements, is next. The other issues are just as important but the power grabs they did on those issues were slow, incremental and often almost imperceptible (save Obamacare). They planned it that way while shaming us for our history so that we would not look to history as a guide; history that would tell us the Democrats always infer “this is the last bill. This will not go any further than this form.” They lie. They will never stop. They are progressive. They always go for more power.
But the move of the Democrats on Sunday and Monday represents a new phase in their gutter philosophy. It is bold and does not even pretend to have a semblance of good faith.
Small businesses that provide jobs for people are dying and corporations that provide many more jobs are teetering. The president is working feverishly to keep us out of a Depression and keep people safe. If the people were not taxed so darn much for stupid projects maybe we would have had enough money saved to weather this kind of storm. While we are at it, why do these jokers in D.C. get to be okay no matter what happens but they can not only hold our lives in their hands but play ball with it?
Anyone who has any allegiance to Democrats now has a decision to make. For people in my mother’s generation who liked Kennedy but were conservative patriots, they have been long gone from the Democrats. They were written off a long time ago. There is no hiding what the Democratic Party has become. They even shy away from Bill Clinton’s Third Way calling that racist and radical.
The party of John F. Kennedy died with him in Dealey Plaza. Thank God we have a great president in office so the economy was at a good place when this pandemic struck. If it had not been for him we would be in what would undoubtedly be called a “Greater Depression” than the one we had in the 1930s. Imagine if we had Biden, Obama, or Sanders. The economy would have been in tatters before the virus and they would be shoving even more socialist garbage into relief bills.
People will long remember what the Democrats did, or rather didn’t do, this week. Those Democratic elitists may think we have short term memories but ordinary people will never forget those who keep food off our table. And we will never forget because they played with our very lives.
>>Not only is it scary! It’s SUICIDE!<<
Worse — it’s HOMICIDE!!
That is something Carson should have said.
Just ask any unborn child....
Things are going to get REAL UGLY, if the Democrats ever
outnumber the Americans in this country.
I don’t have a problem with bailing out small businesses.
I do have a problem with corporations taking government $$ and then using it for stock buybacks, which is no help to the workers who were laid off. If a multibillion dollar corporation is going to be bailed out with my tax money there needs to be accountability, similar to what you mentioned. Keep in mind, though, not all bailouts have those accountability measures.
I especially have a problem with bailing out cruise lines that are not even registered in the US and do not employ US workers. Even Trump talks about bailing out the cruise lines as though they are some kind of essential industry. I have never been on a cruise ship in my life and I don’t plan to be either. If they are registered in, say, the Bahamas let the Bahamas bail them out or just let them fail. They wanted no part of the US when times were good; they get no US $$ during the hard times.

Brooms are independent.
I would prefer to have their filled hands in front. Just so they can get the full visual impact.
Don’t forget to let the spoon pop before you hand it over.
Then run like hell.
If MacArthur had prevailed instead of HST, we would have removed the Chicom govt in 1951 with extreme prejudice and we wouldn’t be dealing with this crap today.
My relatives were all happy with HST canceling the trip to Japan that they were preparing for.
I wonder what will be remembered and by whom. Rats and their RINO fellow travelers have been attempting to breed followers at all costs for decades (immigration, education, handouts). I see these termites in three basic categories--fanatics, fools, and both. I can't feel positive toward the future seeing how far we have come from the principles that made us great in the past.
I pray for PDJT and his supporters. And meanwhile, I'm not holding back letting never-Trumpers, I can't avoid (family et al), know to give me a wide berth. A country that tolerates the likes of a Pelosi in its leadership is not well--And I'm not just talking about COVID19.
Are you kidding? I’ll be patiently sipping on a longneck waiting for the fireworks from the prescribed safe distance!
No guts, no glory or something like that.
One can only hope.
Now that's funny, right there...
He ain’t the bad guy in this - but some on “our side” just can’t resist even when the other side is being its absolute worst.
Our totalitarian Governor here in Oregon and her lackey legislature, banned plastic bags. Now they realize how filthy and disgusting reusable bags are and have ordered the stores that had till the beginning of this year to get rid of all plastic, to bring them back.
