Nancy Pelosi

We urge CHQ readers and friends to call the White House (202-456-1111) to demand that the President use his executive authority to prohibit companies owned or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, the Red Chinese government, the People’s Liberation Army of China and other Chinese military and intelligence entities from accessing U.S. capital markets.

Robert Hunter, Howell Cobb, James Orr, and Charles Crisp had three things in common. All were Democrats, all served the Confederacy in some capacity, and all preceded Pelosi as Speakers of the House. So, is Madam Speaker really worried about tainting “the hallowed halls of Congress” by “memorializing men who embody the violent bigotry and grotesque racism of the Confederacy”? Or is she concerned that the Democratic record on race is so egregious that the urgent call for the removal of portraits and statues will look more like the need to remove the evidence of her party’s multifarious racial sins?

On January 22, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively overruled four district judge preliminary injunctions against President Trump’s call for changes in military transgender policies. Following that 5-4 ruling, the Pentagon announced plans to begin implementation of the 2018 policy on April 12, 2019. Absent congressional action there is still strong Supreme Court precedent to uphold the Trump policy should the cases currently in litigation get that far.

Like the continued persecution of LTG Mike Flynn, and the many other Trump administration actions that are mired in serial litigation, the goal of Chief Justice John Roberts and the four liberal Justices was to push the final decision on DACA back beyond the 2020 election into a political environment that the DC establishment assumes will be more favorable to the interests of the Deep State and their Leftwing allies.

According to research posted on the BeijingBiden.com website, since 1979, Joe Biden has been a key supporter and enabler of Communist China; a fact he often brags about and highlights in interviews and speeches, seemingly oblivious to the economic damage his positions have inflicted on America and American Workers. And now, Beijing Biden has the gall to attack Donald Trump as being weak on China.

By attacking President Trump, who is governing as the best friend Christians and especially Catholics have had in the White House in generations, Archbishop Gregory gives a pass to those alleged Catholics in politics and government who routinely and actively undermine the Church’s teachings and betray their professed Catholic faith.

Since 2013, through a sweetheart deal negotiated by then-Vice President Joe Biden, Chinese companies have been allowed to participate in U.S. stock and bond exchanges without having to fully comply with the same Sarbanes-Oxley Act accounting practices and risk disclosure required of American companies. Now the Committee on the Present Danger: China has launched a campaign demanding the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board:cancel the agreement.

Whatever the Senate negotiates with the House will certainly add to the previous $2 trillion measure, which didn’t trickle down to some of the neediest individuals and small businesses, but contained horror stories such as checks going to dead people or to multimillion-dollar businesses or millionaires. Anyone curious as to why in March the Gallup poll found public disapproval of Congress at 74 percent (it was 64 percent in April possibly because of the stimulus money) need look no further than the way the professional class operates. They act more in their own self-interest instead of the long-term public good.

We need a replacement word for hypocrisy when it reaches the Pelosi level of extreme dissimulation for political ends. But what of the unintended consequences of the hypocrisy-spin-lies (whatever you wish to call it) of Pelosi and others in her party aided and abetted by the media? Some say it has put #MeToo in rigor mortis. But the other unintended victim is something more significant—feminism. We have gone from “Sisterhood is powerful!” to “Screw you, sister!” in a heartbeat, thanks to the first female Speaker of the House. If #MeToo and feminism itself can be thrown over for Joe Biden, then anything’s possible.

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell on Monday informed House intelligence committee chairman Adam Schiff that some 6,000 pages of until-now secret testimony from the House investigation of President Trump are ready for release.We urge Mr. Grenell to release the transcripts at the earliest moment propriety allows – especially if he doesn’t hear back expeditiously from Schiff. You can communicate directly with ODNI Grenell via Twitter by tweeting him @RichardGrenell

The toll-free Capitol Switchboard number (1-866-220-0044), we urge CHQ readers and friends to call Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to demand that they schedule hearings and pass the Cotton – Crenshaw bill to immediately end Red China’s sovereign immunity for Wuhan virus claims.

The GOP balked on money for states and local governments. "This was a debate that was largely about nothing," Politico Playbook declared, accurately. The effect of the debate about nothing was to delay help for those millions of small-business owners and employees who needed it while Pelosi played politics and showed off her ice cream stash. The bill, now expanded to nearly $500 billion, passed yesterday. That was April 23, 16 days after the first letter to Capitol Hill. Why did it take 16 days for Congress to pass money for small-business owners that could have been passed in a small fraction of that time? Because Pelosi stopped it. Pure and simple.

What is clear now is that more than a few officials around the country were slow to act. And some of them in high positions -- not as high as President of the United States, but quite powerful -- are reluctant to admit it. Take House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She has said that the president's downplaying of coronavirus has cost American lives. It would be reasonable to argue that this time is no time to discuss blame. But anyone listening to the national conversation knows that horse is long out of the barn. At some point, amid never-ending discussions of President Trump's alleged culpability, the conversation will turn to some prominent Democrats, as well.

The Marie Antoinette parallel is a little eerie. A few more luxurious lifestyle appearances by Pelosi, while she’s killing small business, will make the election this fall a referendum on the job-killing, ice cream-eating liberal Democrats. This will be a hard argument for Pelosi and the Democrats to win. Further, in the midst of this crisis of the economy, small business, and unemployment, where is former Vice President Joe Biden? Does he support the job-killing, ice cream-eating liberal Democrats? If he does not, when is he going to speak out? The case is being made for a deep repudiation of an elite Democratic Party that now has total contempt for Americans.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is back again trying to exploit the coronavirus crisis. Only this time, it’s to benefit ultrawealthy Californians living in million-dollar homes. Pelosi made clear that she wants to undo SALT (State and Local Tax deductions) retroactively in the chaos of this current crisis. It makes sense why Pelosi and Schumer have a political interest in softening the blow of the burden of living in San Francisco or Manhattan, but removing the SALT deduction cap provides zero relief for the workers hurting the most during this pandemic. Simply put, now is not the time to dress up simple politics as extraordinary relief for the people.

In our world political hostility seems to overrule everything, obliterating common sense and collegiality in a crisis. In a sense, we have a “politics pandemic” as well as a medical one. The medical one is probably worse, but the political one isn’t terrific and seems to be spreading with rapidity. Also, they work together, reinforcing each other. The political pandemic helps the medical pandemic spread. As for the media, they are, if anything, worse than the politicians. We can keep politics in its proper place and not let it take over every aspect of our lives. That’s something we can learn during the pandemic that will reward us afterwards.

The Second Amendment, the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment and the rest of the Constitution are unequivocal and living in a free society involves accepting certain risks. How about instead of using the coronavirus epidemic to suspend the Constitution we all act like responsible citizens, stay home and self-isolate if we are at risk, wash our hands, sanitize common surfaces, such as door knobs and grocery carts, get ourselves checked if we feel ill and keep our liberty.

Red China has long aimed to replace the Dollar as the world’s reserve currency and Wall Street and the US sovereign bond market as the world’s economic safe havens. The Wuhan virus may be a natural mutation, or a virus that jumped from an animal to humans, or it may be an escaped bio-weapon, but whatever its origin the Red Chinese aim to take advantage of the havoc wreaked by the COVID-19 epidemic to win their long war against America.

Many of the provisions in Pelosi’s bill have no discernable relation to the coronavirus pandemic, much less helping families and small businesses facing economic ruin. There are sections mandating “risk-limiting audits” of election results, early voting, same-day voter registration, mandatory reporting for federal agencies on their use of minority-owned banks, new rules for the retirement plans of community newspapers, and even a section requiring airlines to provide passengers information about greenhouse gas emissions from flights they took. The list goes on, like a parody of Democratic governance. But it’s not a parody, it’s an old Democratic tactic—especially for Pelosi.

We agree with President Trump that America should be reopened for business sooner rather than later, but the only way for that to work is for all Americans to act to mitigate the transmission of this new disease to their vulnerable neighbors and family members. Go to 15 Days To Slow The Spread, follow the guidelines, and prepare to discipline yourself to keep following the hygiene guidelines once the lockdown begins to come off.
