Each extension of the "public health emergency" is simply another shout of "wolf!".

Who will believe the criers when a REAL lethal pathogen appears?

Not good enough. The bill needs to make it law that no Executive has emergency powers for more than 72 hours.

Senate dems and Xiden's response:

Thank you for your input. Now put your masks back on.

The real question is, will we get right of action against the SOBs who closed our schools and other public accomodations to the un-vaxxed?

Stealing tax money and hiding behind EUAs needs to have penalties.

Red meat for the base but unfortunately any conservative bill proposed by our republican House will need to hurdle House RINOs and a democrat Senate and President.

With these realities, what tools/powers does our republican House have that can "get over" RINOs and a democrat Senate and President? Serious question.

How can it be an emergency if the Fed Gov refuses to pay for Covid testing? It’s 100% a power grab only.

Any future emergencies should be declared only by Congress and passed as a law that includes an expiration date. The establishment deep state should have no such power. This goes for any so-called emergency. My congresscritter would hear from me as a hard no on every so-called emergency. It’s not a federal problem to be used to redistribute wealth, whether an earthquake in Cali or a Super Storm in Jersey. Those are the risks living in those places. Flooding is a risk near I live, but I intentionally chose not to live in a flood plain. I don’t expect my tax dollars to bail out those that chose poorly and certainly people in CA and NJ shouldn’t have their tax dollars bail out flood victims in PA.

So, will the Senate agree? Will the President sign the bill? If he Vetoes the bill, can the veto be overridden?

The untrialed covid injections depend on there being an EUA…as in “ emergency”

Looking around in public…it’s over.
Masks are few. Distancing..gone.
Was over in Europe by last summer.

Thank you for referencing that article lightman. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"House Republicans Introduce Bill to ‘Terminate’ COVID-19 Health Emergency"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

If this were a better world, all that it would take to terminate so-called federal CV19 health emergency is the following imo.

All that one MAGA Republican needs to do to effectively exercise majority power on this issue is to stand up and point out that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate peacetime INTRAstate healthcare policy.

What MAGA Republicans really need to do to help "street-fighter" Trump 47 finish draining the swamp is the following.

The MAGA-controlled House desparately needs to introduce a resolution for Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states that is strictly limited to repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th Amendments (popular voting for federal senators) (16&17A), little or ideally no discussion required for such an amendment imo.

Repealing 16&17A would effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government imo.

Although such a resolution is doomed with gridlocked Congress (where are the states?), what patriots initially get out of a repeal 16&17A resolution is seeing more masks fall off remaining RINO lawmakers who vote against resolution that patriots can primary in 2024.

Not falling for it. For the next two years the House GOP-E will act like a conservative’s wet dream but if or when the get back the White House and Senate, they will revert to their “assistant Democrat” roles.

Care you say healthcare reform, build the wall, balance the budget, etc
Of course you could.
