Mike Pence defends suspending Europe travel, predicts ‘thousands’ more coronavirus cases
[NYPOST] Vice President Mike Pence defended the Trump administration’s suspending travel from Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
for 30 days and predicted that there will be thousands more cases in the US.

Pence, who is spearheading the White House coronavirus
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
task force, noted that President Trump banned travel from China shortly after the virus broke out in Wuhan and also released travel advisories for South Korea and Italia after outbreaks in those countries.

"The reality is the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic has moved from China and South Korea to Europe," the vice president said Thursday on "Fox & Friends."

"Our task force has been tracking that. We brought that information to the president in real-time and yesterday he made the decision in the Oval Office to suspend all travel from Europe for the next 30 days," he continued.

Trump announced the suspension of travel from Europe, excluding Great Britannia, during a Wednesday evening address to the nation.

Pence said every American returning from Europe will undergo screening at 13 separate airports and will be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days.

#12  Re #1 - I had thought of this too, that Biden would get the coronavirus - maybe getting too close to whomever he was challenging to a fight or pushup contest. If he did get it later in the primary or election calendar, it would provide an easy excuse to transition to another candidate if the Dem powers that be deem it in their interest.

Chris Murphy: Pissing off Europe by not giving them prior notice of the travel ban was totally unnecessary.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Over there they’re going to need all they can make — they’re some weeks ahead of us on the growth curve. So it’s time we develop an alternative domestic source.
March 1st: Will Sen. Chris Murphy infect the entire US Senate with COVID-19?
Iranian FM Zarif and his entourage were likely COVID-19 carriers at the Munich Security Conference. The Democrat party senator who met with him for over an hour in Zarif's hotel room must be watched for signs of disease.

#1  I disagree. Pissing off Europeans is always on the table. They have made a hobby of pissing us off for the past few decades and it is high time they got a taste of their own medicine. Oh, they don't like it? Tough shit.

If they want to keep all the virus tests for themselves, great! It will demonstrate once and for all that their rhetoric of caring for others before themselves is false.

They're all waiting in the wings, hoping that Trump will fail and bitching about every little thing he does, pushing to include federal funding for abortion into coronavirus funding. She'd murder more babies with that than coronavirus funding will save and just wait until he vetoes it! Is there any low to which they will not stoop?

Biden Calls Trump Racist For Stating The Fact That Wuhan Virus Began In China
[THEFEDERALIST] Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
complained Thursday about President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
calling the Wuhan coronavirus
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
"a foreign virus" in Wednesday’s Oval Office address.

"Labeling COVID-19 a foreign virus does not displace the accountability for the misjudgements that have taken place so far by the Trump administration," Biden said. "The [Wuhan] coronavirus does not discriminate based on national origin, race, gender, or zip code."
The senile old coot neglects to note that the virus was made in a ChiCom BioWar Lab in Wuhan.

Hunter Biden Settles Child Support Case After Repeated Delays, Refusals to Release Financial Docs
[BREITBART] The lawyers representing former vice president Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
’s son Hunter reached a final settlement Tuesday night in a paternity and child support case in Arkansas after repeatedly delaying the case and flouting court orders to release financial information.

On Wednesday morning, the attorneys for the Arkansas mother of Hunter’s child, 28-year-old former stripper Lunden Alexis Roberts, alerted the judge that they had settled the case.

Roberts’ lawyers wrote in an email to Independence County Circuit Judge Holly Meyer:

Late last night, after the court entered the order, we reached a global, final settlement of all issues. I am drafting a final order this morning for the Court’s approval. I expect it to bet sent to you later today or tomorrow.

Pending the court’s approval, the settlement will end the nearly one-year legal battle.

Roberts’ lawyers did not disclose the terms of the settlement, which comes after Hunter’s lawyers argued on Tuesday that their client would be unavailable for the scheduled deposition and hearing this week.

Hunter’s lawyers cited coronavirus
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
-linked travel restrictions, the approaching due date of this pregnant wife, and media attention prompted by his father’s presidential bid as reasons for their client being unable to appear in court.

"Defendant requests continuance of the hearing as he is unavailable to attend due to his wife’s due date in 2 and a half weeks or less and risks involved with travel," the motion filed by Hunter’s lawyers stated.

Judge Meyer rejected the request and rebuked the White House hopeful’s son for repeatedly delaying the case.

"For context in ruling on this Motion the Court has reviewed the history of this litigation and finds that the Defendant has been given considerable leniency regarding continuances and delay," Meyer wrote in a court order issued Tuesday.

"The defendant’s attempts to delay this case are mounting such that one begins to see a pattern of delay," the judge added later.

Last Friday, Roberts’ lawyers filed a motion seeking to have the 2020 Democrat presidential front-runner’s son held in contempt of court for repeatedly refusing to obey an order to provide financial documents.

Home Front: WoT
174 House Dems: Convicted Terrorists Must Not Be Barred from Working for TSA
A different take than the PJMedia’s a few days ago.
[FRONTPAGEMAG] As old Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
would say, Look, Fat, look, here’s the deal: I’ve been warning for years that it would sooner or later become "Islamophobic" to offer even the mildest opposition to jihad violence, and that the "Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
" mongers would become increasingly open about their support for jihad terrorists, and here we are. On Thursday, 174 Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against an amendment to the Rights for Transportation Security Officers Act that would prevent the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from hiring convicted terrorists.

Yes, you read that right: if these House Democrats had gotten their way, on your next flight, you could have gotten a pat-down from a TSA agent who previously conspired to down the airplane you were planning to fly on. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R., Calif.) explained that the amendment "was pulled back by leadership because the socialist wing of the party did not want to have that amendment go forward on this bill. When it was offered, overwhelmingly the majority of the House would like to see the TSA not hire faceless myrmidons or those who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with minors and others. But the socialist wing of the party, that controls now the Democratic Party, said that that could not be offered."

holy shit! Allahu akbar, as these prospective TSA employees might have said, the whole thing went kaboom! in their faces: enough Republicans and renegade Democrats votes for the amendment to pass it. But among the luminaries who thought it so important to avoid even the appearance of "Islamophobia" that they opposed an amendment barring faceless myrmidons from pawing through your belongings as you made your way through security were the infamous "Squad," Reps. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
(D., N.Y.), Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
(D, Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), along with the supposedly sane and responsible House Majority Leader the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
...Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is. Number Two, anyway...
(D., Md.).

The TSA has always been more security theatre than actual security, but that’s beside the point here: AOC, Omar, and Tlaib and the 171 other House Democrats who opposed this measure didn’t vote against it because it would be ineffective, but clearly because it would offend a key portion of their constituency, which for most, if not all, Democrats today consists of people who believe that faceless myrmidons are victims and American imperialism is the real problem, and that Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
is "racist" for wanting to protect Americans from jihad terror attacks by foreign nationals coming from the countries included in his Travel Ban and violent crimes by illegal aliens coming into the country from Mexico.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Joe Biden vows to protect the Syrian Kurds in case he wins the U.S. presidential elections
[NPASYRIA] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
, the former U.S. Vice President and the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential elections has said that he will protect the Kurds in Syria if he wins the elections.

Biden confirmed that he will keep 1,000 American troops in Syria, and would provide them with air coverage with the Kurdish forces and will do "everything to protect the Kurds who sacrificed their lives in the war against ISIS."

Biden's statements came after he won in four U.S. states in the Democratic primary elections in Super Tuesday, as he came closer than ever to represent the Democrats in the 2020 elections, to compete with the current President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
Regarding the situation in Syria, Biden's view is remarkably different from President Trump's, where this was clear in his statement. He said that "the problem of Syria lies in the allies of the United States, like The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
, which has pushed thousands of imported muscle, including those affiliated with al Qaeda, to do everything to bring down the Assad (Syrian) regime, which did not succeed, and turned into chaos and destruction that led to the spread of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.
