Redirection: Abuse Trump For Coronavirus, And Ignore The Homeless Stew Boiling in Democrat-Controlled Cities
Democrats daily reach new lows with their criticism of President Trump. They don’t sit back and wait for a policy failure before they launch on him. Instead, they dump as policy is being developed and implemented, and then complain about how sensitive and defensive he is when he responds with questions as to their sincerity. Two weeks ago he was criticized as being an alarmist and called a racist for blocking incoming flights from China, where this health threat originated. And three days ago...

The TDS displayed by democrats regarding President Trump and his policies is stunning.  Pure hypocrisy. 


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Whew! Democrats have received a temporary reprieve at the last minute. Just as the homeless and disease-ridden streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco approach critical mass due to the don’t-give-a-damn mayors and governor in California, the Chinese-originated coronavirus appears on the scene and redirects attention from the west coast to this new threat, and the filthy Democrats, as is their habit, all turn on President Trump and place blame for this outbreak on him.

Democrats daily reach new lows with their criticism of President Trump. They don’t sit back and wait for a policy failure before they launch on him. Instead, they dump as policy is being developed and implemented, and then complain about how sensitive and defensive he is when he responds with questions as to their sincerity. Two weeks ago he was criticized as being an alarmist and called a racist for blocking incoming flights from China, where this health threat originated. And three days ago they attacked him again for not moving quickly enough to keep the threat from our borders. So by doing business this deceitful way Democrats get to attack him twice instead of only once, even though there has been no reason to attack him in the first place.

President Trump was simply minding the business of the nation, some of which includes trying to get Democrats to put a halt to their sanctuary cities nonsense, when the virus sprang from nowhere and was then blown out of all proportion by the radical, Democrat left as they tried to make political points from this disease as the 2020 election date draws near.

When the juvenile Democrats are out of power all they can do is initiate chaos and crisis in an attempt to undermine the party in power, while the more adult Republican in the Oval Office tries to address the threatening viral situation we are currently dealing with and save lives. The thought never occurred to the partisan Democrats to work with the president to calm America’s citizens in this time of concern over their health. All Democrats can do is attack him, call him incompetent and label him as being a danger to the health of the nation.

But we knew Democrats were snakes as soon as the 2016 election ended and Trump took office, because the leftist vipers performed illegal activities to try to get him removed from office. So we should stop being naïve and shocked with their antics and just ignore them in the future.

That is the idiotic comment of the week.

Trump disbanded the Pandemic Response committee that Obama created ... he's blathering about having a vaccine in 2 months when a viable vaccine will take a year and a half - and if you don't think this coronavirus is a big deal. It is not being blown out of proportion.

Honestly, anti-science people disgust me.

As the federal response to the coronavirus outbreak continues to take shape, among the most important recent reports on the issue is    this     Foreign Policy    piece from a month ago, which said the United States "has never been less prepared for a pandemic."

Of particular interest was the article shining a light on Donald Trump's May 2018 decision to    order the shutdown    of the White House National Security Council's entire global health security unit. NBC News had a    good report    on this, also, noting that the president's decision "to downsize the White House national security staff -- and eliminate jobs addressing global pandemics -- is likely to hamper the U.S. government's response to the coronavirus."

For his part, Trump doesn't deny the fact that he disbanded his global health security team and proposed cuts to programs intended to prevent the spread of infectious disease. Instead, the president has argued that he can simply reassemble the operation as needed.

"I'm a business person," he      explained       on Wednesday. "I don't like having thousands of people around when you don't need them. When we need them, we can get them back very quickly."

That may sound sensible. It's not. The      Washington Post       reports       today:

Former federal officials and public-health experts argue that an effective response to a epidemiological crisis demands sustained planning and investment. While the administration's response to coronavirus has been criticized in recent weeks as slow and disjointed, people in and outside the White House have warned for years that the nation is ill prepared for a dangerous pandemic.

Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security,    told    the    Post  , "You build a fire department ahead of time. You don't wait for a fire. There is an underappreciation for the amount of time and resources required to build a prepared system."

Georgetown's Don Moynihan had a good tweet along these lines the other day,    adding  , "I'm a public management professor: once you have gutted institutional capacity, you cannot, in fact, quickly restore it."

The president, who's never shown much of an interest in how government works or is supposed to function, seems wholly unaware of all of this. It's yet another reason to question the White House's competence and capacity as the public-health emergency continues.

Maybe you could expound on that claim with some links.

These are the most recent CDC budgets - there don't to be any cuts, although monies were shifted from one program or another during the Ebola and Zika events.

8.8 billion in 2009

10.1 billion in 2010 

10.8 billion in 2011,

11.125 billion in 2014,

11.134 b in 2015 and

11.177 billion in 2016

11.9 billion in 2017 despite a proposed budget of 7.1 billion

11.9 billion in 2018 despite the proposed budget of 7.5 billion

I can't get a handle on 2019 as it seems all requests lead to this graph of Trumps budget proposals which by rumor, Congress has ignored.

Hmm, HuffPost VS the actual CDC website and their own budget breakdowns.

Let me think about that, jrSmiley_32_smiley_image.gif

So the gist of the Huff Post article is that Congress also ignored Obama's budget requests

while the CDC got funding from multiple sources, including the PPHF, PHP&R, ASTRACA and many others.

Ouch is right,

They DID see that something like this would eventually come - that's why Obama formed the group. But Trump disbanded it, because he'd rather have people die than leave anything in place that Obama set up.

Yeah and you conveniently skipped over 2013

After the GOP took control of the House in 2011, the administration protected CDC funding by relying on new funding streams from the Affordable Care Act. But the CDC’s total budget fell by $430 million in fiscal year 2013, and the president can’t blame Republicans for the drop. The president’s funding requests for the CDC dropped too. 

So a left wing rag like huffpo isn't good enough for you to back up my claims, fucking Hillaryious.

More ODS Bullshit?

Swine flu started in March of 2009 in Mexico, 50 days after Obama's inauguration during the economic meltdown.

After swine flu ran it's course, it was considerably less lethal ( .02) than the common flu (0.1) which still kills between 25,000 and 69,000 Americans every year, despite the constant public health warnings and free vaccinations.

Sorry, I missed 2 years. 2012 & 2013.

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) FY 2013 Budget Request Summary

The President released the fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget request February 13, 2012. Total funding request ed for CDC and ATSDR is $11.2 billion , which includes discretionary authority, mandatory funding, Public Health Service (PHS) Evaluation funds, transfers from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF), and allocations from Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) for CDC and ATSDR. The overall amount is $39.5 million above the FY 2012 level.

from your HUFFPO link ....

Budget figures are often in dispute. And so, other media outlets that have looked at the president’s requests have put forward different statistics. Separate documents put together by the CDC do provide slightly different numbers, but they tell the same general story:

Obviously, government budgets are very difficult to digest

which is why I tried to post links to the CDC's own webpages so that our members could compare apples to apples, without the ODS or TDS.

Did 12,000 plus people die from the swine flu in the US? Well Golly Gee that is another yes.

Did 61 million people get infected in the US? Well shucks that's another yes.

Did obama lead from behind? Now this is my opinion but I'm going with hell yeah.

So you have nothing, again.

Got it.

By "your reasoning"  Trump has led from behind allowing 150,000 people to die from the common flu since the day he was inaugurated.

Flu season deaths top 80,000 last year, CDC says (2017-2018)

In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018 -2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That's fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC's 2017- 2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths

16,000 died during the 2019-2020 flu season so far

Flu shot better than last year, despite tough season for kids

Context matters.

In a failed attempt to prove me wrong.

In FY 2010, the budget request for CDC funding was $6.31 billion. 
In FY 2011, it was $6.26 billion. That year the Prevention and Public Health Fund helped soften the blow by adding $610 million.
In FY 2012, the budget request was $5.81 billion while the Prevention and Public Health Fund helped soften the blow by adding $752 million. 
In FY 2013, the budget request was $4.99 billion, while the Prevention and Public Health Fund helped soften the blow by adding $903 million. 
In FY 2014, the budget request was $5.22 billion, while the Prevention and Public Health Fund helped soften the blow by adding $755 million. 
In FY 2015, the budget request is $5.39 billion, while the Prevention and Public Health Fund is expected to add an additional $809 million.

"what goes around comes around" or What ye sow, so shall ye reap"

Mr Trump was far less confident about the US handling of Ebola under his predecessor, according to a series of his tweets from 2014, the virus was spreading from Africa to various parts of the world.
Mr Trump was demanding at the time that US officials halt anyone coming into the country from parts of the world where cases of Ebola had been confirmed, while launching incendiary claims about “the plague”. 

“The US must immediately stop all flights from EBOLA infected countries,” he wrote in August 2014, “or the plague will start and spread inside our ‘borders.’” 

He added: “Act fast!” 

In another July tweet, Mr Trump slammed US officials as “incompetent” amid reports that a patient with a confirmed Ebola case was being brought into the US. 

He attacked Mr Obama as “a psycho” in the posts, writing: “I am starting to think that there is something seriously wrong with President Obama’s mental health.”

There is a writer named Anand Giridharadas.  Despite his exotic name he is a born in the U.S. American. For the past couple years he has been writing and lecturing on billionaires, somewhat along the lines that Bernie Sanders does. 

Yesterday I looked at my You Tube recommendations and there was a video featuring Giridharadas. In this video the subject of San Francisco comes up.  Giridharadas notes that there are 7400 homeless in SF. (I suppose this was roughly the figure at the time the video was made). He also notes there are 74 billionaires in the SF metro area.  Giridharadas notes the incongruence of homeless in the presence of such great wealth. 

In other words, our society is doing something gravely wrong.

Good question but letting them inflict themselves in those cities, onto rest of the public is not the answer and unfair to everyone else.  

People who are homeless by choice will never get fixed.   Those who are homeless without choice are fixable through jobs training and other outreach programs.   But only the willing can be fixed and they all aren't willing.   Which is a huge part of the problem.

The fact is the larger the city the larger the homeless problem. Common sense, more people. Imo it has nothing to do with being run by Democrats or republicans. The problem would still be there, unless they were removed by force.

Here in my city of about 45 to 50k we have homeless. When I lived near the beach I use to get them in my backyard and this is a very red place. Putting blame on either political party is a misnomer.

Fact is, a lot of them don't want help and even given help would end up right back where they were. The main thing they do here is open shelters when cold and meal programs.

I say, if anything, focus should be made. Focus on families, children and people that would want help.

What would you do with the homeless by choice?   Status quo or what?

What you call "homeless by choice" is generally a person who is mentally ill, an addict, or both. Treatment is the best option, but many of them are resistant to treatment. Forced treatment doesn't seem to work well because it still takes a lot of effort and desire on the part of the person being treated. Do we commit those who are mentally ill? I recall the horrific abuses in our mental health system in the past, so I just don't know. Jailing them isn't an approach I would take, so what else can we do?

Many big cities are more liberal due to their diversity and lack of isolation, and the cost of living is often higher in cities. There are also generally more services like shelters and soup kitchens and even dumpsters in cities. So it would make sense that the homeless tend to congregate in those places (especially in warmer cities). In SF, much of the homelessness is due to the high cost of living. For people who aren't mentally ill, who are working and who just can't afford to live there, I don't know what other option there is other than for them to find a job somewhere where there is a cheaper cost of living.

Unfortunately, that sounds about right. Even if the government did focus more of an effort on mental illness, many of the mentally ill don't want treatment, and neither do many addicts. Many of them won't even go into a shelter because they refuse to deal with the rules (or in some cases, the violence) in those places. We've never had a good way to deal with mental illness. We could at least try to do better for those who want help, as you said. And maybe a program to help those who are working but can't afford the cost of living to find a job elsewhere and relocate.

While this may true for about only 25% of the homeless population,  i know a few truly "homeless by choice" in my own town who are fully capable of leading a productive "non-homeless" existence but "choose" not to.   It is 100% their choice to be homeless.   For some it is the ultimate expression of being free.   Free from any responsibility whatsoever.

I interact with them regularly in the shelters i volunteer in and they could care less what you and i are arguing about here.   They just know where to go to get a free hot meal and a free shower and hopefully a free warm clean bed to sleep on at night.

They gladly foist themselves on the kindness of their neighbors.   Yup, no problem at all letting others take care of them.   You aren't fixing that.

Trump has been president for three years. The same number of people that opposed him three years ago , every day, still oppose him today, every day.  If he is president for another term he will be opposed , every day, for four more years. He's not fit for office.

Perhaps if Trump didn't constantly insult everyone, he wouldn't have been called so many names. Poor Snowflake In Chief - his fans can dish it out but they can't take it.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is squarely   liberal in the mode of the Clintons . He was a supporter of NAFTA and championed the market-based Affordable Care Act over   universal health care .

Other major contenders remain a bit of a mystery on where they stand on the liberal-left divide. Some   observers thought   Kamala Harris avoided tipping her hat in her recent biography; while Pete Buttigieg is also hard to   pin down .

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are left-leaning. They’re   both   in favor of a national health insurance, and   call for   an end to private health insurance to make the system work. They’re   both   for tax changes that would take more income from the wealthy   in order to   bolster Social Security and other welfare. They’re   both   for greater regulations on the banking and lending industry and the   creation of   post office banking.

Voters need to understand the fundamental differences between liberalism and leftism. It’s the difference between a candidate who believes capitalism, with just a little refereeing, will eventually provide what working people need, versus a candidate who believes serious intervention in the capitalist economy is necessary.

Biden isn’t as far left as Sanders but his record and comments show him to be well left of center.

Yes we do and proudly so.  He’s done a great job regardless what you thought or think of him.  He is most certainly fit to be President now.

This is what appears at the top of this seed

Redirection: Abuse Trump For Coronavirus, And Ignore The Homeless Stew Boiling In Democrat-Controlled Cities

Community   »   Discussions   »   Category   » News & Politics »
=========================================================
The article does not reasonably fall into the category of "News and Politics". In fact it is strictly a far right opinion piece , written by............

Dave King

===================================
In other words this article was written , not by a professional journalist, not by a political reporter, but someone likely just like you or me.  The article is no different in source from what someone from NT might write and post.  The seeder regularly seeds from Conservative DailyNews, which is not a news source, it is a web site that prints home made op/eds from regular people.  Like Dave King.

He sounds like he would fit right in here. I sent him an invite to join NTers. We could use more citizen journalists like him.

I hope he accepts but I don’t think many conservatives who aren’t already here would stick around with the restrictions we have.

I think we should invite the writers who contribute to American Thinker The Stream, Breitbart and others to join as individuals.

So when will democrats take on homelessness and other problems that exist in the cities they have ruled over non stop for decades to half a century or more?  Where is their accountability?

Hey [removed,] how about instead of making my job harder you just tell people to wash their nasty hands and not touch their face?

I truly and honestly believe that because of the full hatred of this president by liberals, if Obama, Biden, Bernie and Warren all came out and announced tomorrow that they have found an immediate vaccine and cure from the corona virus, liberals would instantly hate those people for 2 reasons..

1. The found the cure during the Trump admin and

2. It would help Trump politically.

Many liberals cannot help but to hate just because a man's name is not Hillary.
