23 Mar Why It Matters – The March 23rd Show
Dems Stall Virus Aid
- Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a crisis go to waste” ethos is embedded in Democrat politics,
…and it is disgraceful
- McConnell is right: This is not a political opportunity; it’s a national emergency
- Pelosi injecting Planned Parenthood funding and college loan forgiveness into virus relief?
- Even the NYT’s first instinct was to be turned off by Dem behavior
Americans are watching, and they will remember in November
Dems playing politics at a time of fear will backfire, big time
Truth About Trump and Virus Response
The “damned if he does, damned if doesn’t” hysteria has gone way overboard
Facts are stubborn things…
- WHO said coronavirus no big deal on January 14
- Trump blocked China flights on January 31…condemned as racist and xenophobic
- For three years…Trump is Hitler! Dictator! Fascist!
- Now, for being reticent to invoke full DPA powers: Not acting enough like a dictator!
The relentlessness and vitriol of the attacks on Trump are feeding Americans’ suspicions about agendas at work in stoking the virus and Destroying the economy
Fauci: Swine Flu and Hillary
Americans want their ‘experts’ to be non-partisan straight shooters
Dr. Anthony Fauci is NOT a non-partisan, straight shooter
- Love letters to Hillary are, at best, very odd
- Comments and handling of swine flu during Obama admin radically different than comments and handling of COVID-19 during Trump admin
Fauci may be ‘expert’ in some aspects of the COVID-19 problem, and he has the right to write love letters to whomever he wants, but his behavior does not inspire confidence that he is a non-partisan, agenda-free public servant
Trump needs to find a stronger public health spokesman, soon
Italy, America, Virus and Liberty
Americans love to vacation in Italy, BUT note:
- Italian population older than America’s…more vulnerability
- Italian smoking rates higher than America’s…more vulnerability
- Italy embraced China’s Belt and Road Initiative years ago; now…
300,000 Chinese workers in Northern Italy textile industries, many from Wuhan
- PC attitudes in Italy (Florence mayor’s ‘hug-a-Chinese’ idiocy) promoted virus spread
America’s local govt officials are driven by fear of legal liability, and are erring on the side of ‘shelter-in-place’ and other extreme orders, but the data to back them up is still weak compared even to other recent flu seasons
Expect the American love of freedom to rise and resist the shutdowns
