Here are a few facts you should consider to help you make an informed decision.</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Facts: </b></span></div><div>1. According to the Pharmaceutical Companies themselves, these vaccines may not prevent the SARS-COV-2 virus: Evidence: a. From the Moderna and Pfizer Vaccine Fact Sheets: The (Moderna/Pfizer) COVID-19 Vaccine is a vaccine and may prevent you from getting COVID-19. There are no FDA approved vaccines to prevent COVID-19. b. However, the handout you get when they give you the shot, says it “…has been authorized to prevent COVID-19”, so they are lying about it. They are experimental and have been approved by FDA and CDC via an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) but have not been fully tested. </div><div><br /></div><div>2. These vaccines are experimental compounds that use “synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA)” housed in fat cells. In 2005 an animal study was done with SARS-CoV-1 mRNA vaccines on ferrets. Two doses were administered in the same manner as the SARS-CoV-2, aka, COVID19 mRNA Vaccines. The ferrets showed no adverse reaction and seemed to be completely healthy. After some time, the ferrets were exposed to the SARS-CoV-1 coronavirus in the wild. The ferrets died. The mRNA Vaccine had caused a cytokine storm, a fatal cascade of exaggerated immune responses. The SARS-CoV-1 vaccines was not further developed. </div><div><br /></div><div>3. Big Parma has asked for the normally required animal studies for the CoV19 vaccine to be waived. It was waived for EUA purposes, so there have been no long-term animal studies to see if this could happen with these new mRNA vaccines. WHY? </div><div><br /></div><div>4. Because these vaccines may or may not prevent infection, and as some reports show, only reduce symptoms, why take something that does not prevent the infection in the first place. It is a proven fact, with hundreds of scientific studies to prove it, that Zinc and Zinc ionophores can prevent or mitigate infection in the first place; take them as supplements and you are protected. The CDC recently said that 80% of all people who were infected with COVID-19 were deficient in Vitamin D, another Zinc ligand (metal binding) ionophore (transporter). And this helps explains why Sub-Saharan Africa and other countries where most people are in the sun a lot only have marginal deaths from this virus. </div><div><br /></div><div>5. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a 65-year-old drug that has been shown to stop an infection if taken within the first 2 – 7 days of getting symptoms from COVID-19. So, if you are taking your preventative Vitamins like C, D, E and Quercetin, and/or other supplements like Melatonin plus Zinc, and for some reason this doesn’t prevent infection, you can stop it with HCQ + zinc; which is readily available online.</div><div><br /></div><div> 6. Other synthetic drugs like Budesonide, Dexamethasone, Ivermectin as well as natural substances (i.e., vitamins, flavonoids, amino acids, and hormones) can be found in the Pharmaceutical Zinc20 database, a database funded by a subsidiary of NIH. This database is comprised of ligands, which carry metals like Zinc, Calcium and other micronutrients present in our blood serum and transport them across cell membranes into the body of the cell (cytoplasm) to help our immune system fight infection. Like HCQ, these synthetic drugs need zinc and other micronutrient metals to work. Dr. Zelenko uses the analogy “the drug is the gun and zinc is the bullet” which is essential to stopping the viral reproduction and resulting infection.<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></div>7. Because these “Vaccines” are unproven experimental substances, we won’t know what side effects may occur for months or years to come, but it may result in a long-term unnatural human manipulation of our DNA building blocks. Do you really want to take that risk or risk your children’s lives? Especially since: </div><div><br /></div><div>8. There is no pandemic. The number of deaths from COVID-19, which is highly inflated, is no worse than a bad flu season. And your chances of dying from it, even if you do nothing to protect yourself as defined in #3 and #4 above, are very small according to CDC data. Especially if you are under 60 years old. </div><div><br /></div><div>9. Since both experimental vaccines are EUA, both Pfizer and Moderna are indemnified from all legal action resulting from patients experiencing side effects; including death. Since they assume no risk, you are the one who takes all of it! And according to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny that is not a good idea. </div><div><br /></div><div>10. According to Dr. Richard Fleming, Ph.D, MD, JD, a renowned cardiologist and researcher, there is a chance that the mRNA from the vaccine can be incorporated into your human DNA by action of the reverse transcriptase enzyme present in the vaccine. This may affect your auto immune system and result in various auto immune diseases. However, for all you who are taking zinc supplements + ionophores and decide to get vaccinated, Dr Fleming stated that he believes Zinc does appear to interfere with the mRNA process of the vaccines to make the spike protein. This means it will probably reduce the symptoms you can get, so make sure you are taking them. </div><div><br /></div><div>11. The vaccine nano particles of lipid/fat composition, in which the mRNA is transported into your cells, has never been used before in human trials and long-term health effects have not been determined. These lipid nano particles bind with the normal fats in cell membranes and allow entry of thousands of the synthetic mRNA vaccine into your muscle cells. Unlike the virus RNA which has to enter through the ACE-2 receptors found on cells, the nano particles create new pathways into cells. Because the ACE-2 receptor sites are where the normal entry of the virus occurs, bypassing this means a greater amount of mRNA can enter the cell producing increased amounts of the spike protein exacerbating the immune response to the virus. This increased immune reaction can produce the very InflammoThrombotic Response (ITR) responsible for so many deaths. Again, long-term health effects are not known since long-term studies in lab animals have not been conducted. We humans have become the lab rats. </div><div><br /></div><div>12. According to Dr. Simone Gold, MD, JD, Pharmaceutical companies will track and measure all side effects from these experimental vaccines and enter data into the CDC VAERS database in order to perform statistics on us human guinea pigs/rats. Like real lab animals you cannot sue these pharmaceutical companies for suffering from any side effects after taking these experimental vaccines. However, companies requiring CoV19 vaccinations as a requirement for employment may be subject to legal action since it violates our civil rights. </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></div>13. The choice to take an experimental EUA COVID-19 vaccine is yours to make. Hopefully we have given you the facts to make a better-informed decision. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Prof. <span class="il">Roland</span> Blasini</div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fthemjreport.blogspot.com%2F&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></div>THE MJR REPORThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17799759172492320310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432394575296718523.post-29045742141869403652021-05-31T18:50:00.000-04:002021-05-31T18:50:17.285-04:00<p> </p><h4 id="m_5217577491590638488ydp5bd37499yiv3650202597m_4623530280516874253block-9ea318de-9722-4e49-beee-1af1fb3b02ab" style="background-color: white; color: #1e1e1e; line-height: 1.5; margin: 1.33em auto; max-width: 840px; outline: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Earn This ..... </span><span style="font-family: Dancing Script; font-size: x-large;">by Allen West</span></h4><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Greetings, everyone!</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today is Memorial Day. I humbly pray y'all are not running around and saying "Happy Memorial Day." Today is not about happiness, it is about honor! Today is about those who gave the last full measure of devotion; the ultimate sacrifice for country, and for those who desire liberty and freedom from tyranny. Today is a day when we should focus less on barbecues, swimming pools, and retail sales, and instead, take a walk among the gardens of stone. I suppose if we could fully realize the folly of saying "Happy Memorial Day" and replace it with "Honor Memorial Day," we would indeed honor this day . . . not just today, but every day.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">The title of this missive should be remembered and recognized by everyone, it comes from the movie, "Saving Private Ryan." I am quite sure that the movie will be playing today. It is a story from the Greatest Generation and the day of the largest amphibious operation in history, Operation Overlord, known as D-Day, June 6, 1944. The movie tells the story of Ranger Company Commander, CPT Miller, portrayed by Tom Hanks. The opening is without a doubt the most graphic and true portrayal of what it was like for our brave American heroes who hit the beaches of Normandy. The crux of the film is that one young paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division, PVT Ryan, played by Matt Damon, has unknowingly lost all of his three brothers in combat . . . and all three letters arrived at once to a patriotic mother. The decision was made to find Ryan and get him back home, a mission that fell to CPT Miller and a select few from his infantry company.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">They do find PVT Ryan during an anti-armor ambush against the Germans. Instead of being immediately extracted, Ryan refuses to leave his fellow "troopers" as there is an imminent German counter-offensive coming to capture a critical bridge crossing. In the end, all of CPT Miller's group, save one, are killed, along with most of Ryan's squad. CPT Miller is shot, and as he is dying, he pulls Ryan close to him and utters these impactful two words, "earn this."</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today, there are generations of those laid to rest in the gardens of stone who are calling out to America, "earn this."T hey are challenging us, just as CPT Miller did, to earn the sacrifices of </span><span style="font-size: large;">their llives.</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="" class="CToWUd a6T" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEi88xu7pgjgaqKaQO3rzDyX7Werb9-MRELCIp_v-ObJufhIVmMgmxXfdEMlaB8VwV_L85XKhpMLPn9Dz7XLGboGUb3wnqFBIXTAXMjn9IpzAJ7h0x15a8C_1xBynolE_gfIqgzdNOwJupzL4_hqWxVvO4GHQTTfzcz3ngfDyDN5mLC3svAFRAo6=w335-h400" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 702px; outline: 0px; width: 312px;" tabindex="0" width="335" /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">Vincent Speranza, 101st Airborne Division, </span></em></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">Battle of Bastongne veteran</span></em></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TT</span><span style="font-size: large;">he end of the movie goes forward to a grown Ryan, older, asking his wife to "tell me I was a good man, tell me I lived a good life."</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">America -- Texas -- if we were to ask ourselves if we are truly earning the sacrifices of those for whom we honor today, what would our honest answer be?</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There are still World War II Veterans who are alive. Recently, I lost a dear friend, Ray Lambert, a veteran of the 16th Infantry Regiment, First Infantry Division, Omaha Beach, Normandy. These men who fought the vilest of tyrannies, National Socialist (Nazi) Germany, fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan, probably never believed they would find those very principles, tyranny, existing in their very own America. Our brave heroes who gave their lives fighting against Stalinism, socialism, and communism would have never thought there would be a Communist Party USA, Antifa, or a Marxist organization calling themselves BLM, who have recently aligned themselves with an Islamic jihadist group, Hamas.<br />How many of those who have lost their lives at the hands of Islamic jihadists in Iraq, Afghanistan, or at home such as 9-11, would believe we would have members of our very own Congress supporting Islamic terrorist groups.

Ricardo Rossello, governor of Puerto Rico, declared the government's bankruptcy and applied for bankruptcy protection to the US federal court in May last year, which is the first time that a US overseas territory has gone bust. Hurricane Maria caused even greater losses for Puerto Rico in September last year.</p><p style="margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px;">The US government has invested considerable funds and has guided post-disaster reconstruction in recent years.

<p> </p><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="auto">La situación socio-económica y política en Puerto Rico, está dura! Te diré por qué: En los cuerpos camerales; el senatorial y legislativo, en cada término salen las mismas personas electas, convirtiendo esto como en una especie de combete de células de comunistas que hacen de un monopolio la casa de las leyes. En un término popular, es como un compadreo, que funciona para facilitar y dar libre licencia a todo acto de corrupción.<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Por otro lado, surgen grupitos de otras especies de partidos políticos, buscando también su oportunidad de enriquecerse de la forma fácil, como los otros.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
El problema es más grande, porque por ser Puerto Rico, un país en gran medidas dependiente de la política socio-económica del gobierno federal, por los lazos socio-politicos que nos une con esta nación, cualquier candidato que no tenga una representación social genuina, y en línea con el gobierno estadounidense, no podría realizar eficientemente su función de liderato, por los controles éticos que ejerce el gobierno federal, en términos de la política pública en los aspectos socio-económicos.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
A todo esto se suma, que los líderes, motivados por el espíritu de corrupción, herencia de la avaricia que los inspira, ejecutan medidas poco pensadas, que al parecer son favorables a la seguridad del incremento de sus intereses personales, pero que perjudican al pueblo y comprometen los recursos del país.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Todo esto ocurre, cuando el espíritu de patriotismo de los líderes y políticos se muere, y viene a ser reemplazado por el espíritu de la avaricia, donde nada importa más que sus ambiciones egoístas.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Por esta situación, Puerto Rico está en su mayor estado crítico, porque el pueblo desesperado, ya no sabe en quien creer, a quien elegir. El pueblo ha perdido su fe y su confianza en los políticos, y no parece que se pueda ver la luz al final del famoso túnel oscuro.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Sin embargo, lo peor que podría suceder, es que nos rindamos como pueblo! No podemos rendirnos! Tampoco podemos quedarnos de brazos cruzados.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
A continuación yo les presento mi visión, de lo que yo considero podría ser una solución viable y segura para lograr sacar a flote nuestro país.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Puerto Rico como país, libre e independiente, no tiene futuro para nadie, ni a corto ni a mediano plazo. La propuesta del partido independentista, de una república libre y soberana, es una falacia que no promueve un futuro de progresos económicos, ni una garantía de seguridad social, y ellos lo saben! Sino pregunte al Sr. Rubén Berrios, quien aparentemente aboga por la independencia, pero vive y tiene propiedades en los Estados Unidos. Es una manera hipócrita de predicar una doctrina de querer un país libre e independiente, pero te vas a vivir y a hacer fortuna al país que tú no quieres como aliado y que debería administrar los recursos del país que tú quieres que sea una república, y no un Estado.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
El partido Popular Democrático, también sabe, que Puerto Rico como un país libre e independiente, e incluso, ni siquiera como un estado libre asociado, tiene ningún futuro, más que solo para la maquinaria de corruptos, que por décadas vienen destruyendo todo el aparato económico del país, hasta lograr lo que somos hoy, un país endeudado y quebrado, ahogado por la miseria asfixiante, que va estrangulando a la población, al sistema comercial y empresarial, y que va mutilando todo el aspecto social. Es un horror! Ni siquiera imaginar a Puerto Rico como una república independiente, con tantos ladrones y corruptos.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto"><b>
Qué nos queda como pueblo?</b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Tomar una decisión! Ver por lo que sea mejor en línea con el bienestar común de todos los ciudadanos. El sentimentalismo no nos llevará a ningún lado. Tenemos que ser objetivos; y con la razón y la lógica, decidir por lo que sea realmente conveniente para el país y para el pueblo.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Querer una república libre e independiente, ya lo hemos dicho, no nos proporciona un futuro seguro para nosotros, para nuestros hijos y nietos, ni a corto ni a mediano plazo. Tampoco el Estado Libre Asociado, por eso estamos así al día de hoy, en este estado, los políticos y líderes tienen licencia para robar.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Los independentistas te dirán; los americanos no nos quieren. Los populares te dirán; la Estadidad no nos la van a dar. La realidad es, que tanto a los unos como a los otros, les conviene que les creamos las tonterías que nos dicen, pero necesariamente, no tiene que ser así.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
En el siguiente comunicado, yo te diré como los puertorriqueños podemos lograr un gran cambio de futuro real para todo el pueblo. </div>

On that subject, here is an excerpt from Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Children's Health Defense (3/27/20):<br /><br />"For example, [Dr. Anthony] Fauci once shilled for the fast-tracked H1N1 influenza ('swine flu') vaccine on YouTube, reassuring viewers in 2009 that serious adverse events were 'very, very, very rare.' Shortly thereafter, the vaccine went on to wreak havoc in multiple countries, increasing miscarriage risks in pregnant women in the U.S., provoking a spike in adolescent narcolepsy in Scandinavia and causing febrile convulsions in one in every 110 vaccinated children in Australia---prompting the latter to suspend its influenza vaccination program in under-fives."<br /><br />Thank you. Dr. Fauci. Explain to us why you haven't been downgraded to pumping gas in Death Valley or sent to prison?<br /><br />However, that is only half the Swine Flu story. The other half---which involves an astounding hoax---was surely something Fauci was aware of at the time.<br /><br />Fauci was, in fact, recommending a highly dangerous vaccine for protection against AN EPIDEMIC THAT DIDN'T EXIST AT ALL.<br /><br />His friends and professional colleagues at the CDC were creating the hoax.<br /><br />Let me run it down for you.<br /><br />In the summer of 2009, the CDC was claiming there were thousands of Swine Flu cases in the US. But behind these statistics lay an unnerving secret. A major crime, considering the CDC's mandate to report the truth to the American people:<br /><br />Secretly, the CDC had stopped counting cases of Swine Flu.<br /><br />What? Why?<br /><br />CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, discovered the CDC secret; and she found out why.<br /><br />The routine lab testing of tissue samples from the most likely Swine Flu patients was coming back, in the overwhelming percentage of cases, with: NO SIGN OF SWINE FLU OR ANY OTHER KIND OF FLU.<br /><br />Attkisson wrote an article about this scandal, and it was published on the CBS News website. However, the next, bigger step---putting out the story on CBS television news---was waylaid. No deal. And CBS shut down any future investigation on the subject. Attkisson's article died on the vine. No other major news outlet in the world picked up her article and ran with it deeper into the rabbit hole.<br /><br />Here is what Attkisson told me when I interviewed her:<br /><br />Rappoport: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly] stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the "pandemic," without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn't that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn't there more to find out?<br /><br />Attkisson: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was "the most original story" he'd seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it [after it was published on the CBS News website] and, in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.<br /><br />---end of interview excerpt---<br /><br />So...fake pandemic, CDC crimes, and a damaging vaccine.<br /><br />But that wasn't end of it. The CDC wanted to commit another crime. About three weeks after Attkisson's findings were published on the CBS News website, the CDC, obviously in a panic, decided to double down. If one lie is exposed, tell an even bigger one. A much bigger one.<br /><br />Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC's response: "Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents - the CDC's best guess is 22 million - came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009]." ("22 million cases of Swine Flu in US," by Daniel J. DeNoon).<br /><br />Are your eyeballs popping? They should be.<br /><br />Fast forward to 2020. Who in his right mind, armed with a little history, would believe anything the CDC is saying about COVID-19? The discovery of a new coronavirus. the case numbers, the accuracy of the diagnostic tests, the need for lockdowns and economic devastation, the safety and importance of a vaccine, the fear porn? Who would believe any of it?<br /><br />And who would believe anything coming out of the mouth of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who hyped a highly destructive Swine Flu vaccine for an epidemic that didn't exist at all?<br /><br />Only a fool.<br /><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Jon Rappoport</strong><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">__________________________________________________________________</span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 18.6667px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The author of three explosive collections, THE MATRIX REVEALED, EXIT FROM THE MATRIX, and POWER OUTSIDE THE MATRIX, Jon was a candidate for a US Congressional seat in the 29th District of California.

House Democrats approved a bill to admit Washington, DC, as a state on Friday, marking the first time either chamber of Congress has advanced a DC statehood measure.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

</div>
The bill, introduced by DC’s nonvoting House member, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, would shrink the federal capital to a small area encompassing the White House, Capitol building, Supreme Court, and other federal buildings along the National Mall. The rest of the city would become the 51st state, named the Washington, Douglass Commonwealth after abolitionist Frederick Douglass.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The bill passed with a vote of 232-180. Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota was the only Democrat to join Republicans in voting against it. Independent Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan also voted no.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The bill would grant DC two senators and make the existing sole House representative a voting member.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
It is unlikely to gain traction in the Republican-held Senate, however, and the White House said this week that President Donald Trump would veto the bill if it came to his desk.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>Trump told the New York Post in an interview last month that DC statehood will “never happen unless we have some very, very stupid Republicans.”</b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>“DC will never be a state,” Trump said in the interview. “You mean District of Columbia, a state? Why? <span style="color: red;"><u>So we can have two more Democratic </u>— Democrat senators and five more congressmen?</span> No thank you. That’ll never happen.<span style="color: red;">”</span></b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Democrats in recent weeks have argued the necessity for statehood has never been clearer, after the Trump administration mobilized federal law enforcement to respond to protests about systemic racism in policing. They expressed outrage with the decision to forcibly clear peaceful protesters from outside the White House earlier this month, which was done to allow Trump’s photo op at St. John’s church.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
“Not only do we not have voting senators and our congresswoman not have the right to vote, the whims of the federal government can encroach on our even limited autonomy, and it can do so in ways that are threats to all of the American states and all of the American people,” Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said Thursday. “Let’s fight back against the cries that we’re too liberal or we’re too black or there are too many Democrats. Who we elect is our business, and the business of America is to make sure that each person is represented fully in this House and in the Senate of the United States of America.”</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Proponents of making DC a state also point to the area’s large population, which surpasses the populations of Wyoming and Vermont. As of June 2019, DC had more than 705,000 residents, according to estimates from the US Census Bureau.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
To become law, the bill’s supporters argue it would only have to pass both chambers of Congress with a simple majority and then be signed by the President. They say the legislation’s strategy of resizing the capital area would sidestep constitutional questions about making the rest of DC a state. But Republicans who oppose DC statehood maintain that adding the district as a state would require a constitutional amendment.</div>

<br />
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct 30, 2013 (Reuters) - A Securities and Exchange Commission judge dismissed a complaint against two top executives of UBS Puerto Rico as it prepares to fight off a flood of legal complaints prompted by local investor losses adding up to $4.5 billion so far this year.<br />
<br />
Chief Administrative Law Judge Brenda P. Murray ruled on Tuesday that the SEC failed to prove its complaint against the executives, Miguel A. Ferrer, formerly chairman and chief executive of UBS Puerto Rico, a unit of Swiss bank UBS AG, and Carlos J. Ortiz, managing director of Capital Markets at UBS Puerto Rico, which is the U.S. territory’s largest securities dealer .<br />
<br />
The two were accused of misleading investors to conceal a liquidity crisis and mask UBS’ control of the secondary market for 23 proprietary closed-end funds.<br />
<br />
“I do not find that the preponderance of the evidence supports the division’s allegation that UBS PR, Ferrer, and Ortiz engaged in a fraudulent course of conduct or a scheme to mislead customers ... when they represented the funds as profitable, safe, and stable investments and that supply and demand were responsible for Fund prices,” Murray wrote.<br />
<br />
“The record shows that the closed-end fund market in Puerto Rico was unique, but that it was based on the peculiarities of that sui generis market. The fund situation was odd compared to other securities in other markets, but the preponderance of the evidence is that in 2008-2009, there was a solid factual basis which showed the pricing of fund shares to be proper and legitimate.”<br />
<br />
The SEC had alleged the UBS officials committed fraud by promoting the funds as good investments to clients, while the firm was selling its own shares because of concerns that its exposure posed too large a financial risk, undercutting clients’ sell orders in the process.<br />
<br />
Murray found that “given the disclosures contained in the prospectus, brochures, and other literature, and its own trading practices, it was lawful for UBS PR to post firm bids that were below an open marketable customer order.”<br />
<br />
Therefore, the judge said, UBS PR, Ferrer, and Ortiz did not engage in fraud, mislead customers and financial advisers or violate their fiduciary duties.<br />
<br />
“Because I found no primary violations, all the aiding and abetting and causing charges do not stand,” she wrote.<br />
<br />
“MERITLESS”<br />
<br />
“As the firm has maintained since first disclosing this investigation in 2010, the allegations against Mr. Ferrer and Mr. Ortiz were meritless, and the judge’s decision today confirms our position,” the company said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The complaint, covering 2008-2009, was “a period of significant turmoil in the global financial markets,” UBS said in the statement.<br />
<br />
UBS Puerto Rico is in the midst of another closed-end fund headache, facing a flood of lawsuits and regulatory inquiries after a sharp downturn in the value of Puerto Rico government bonds. It resulted in big losses for investors in closed-end funds, whose holdings consisted largely of Puerto Rico government bonds.<br />
<br />
In May 2012, UBS Puerto Rico agreed to pay $26.6 million to settle SEC charges related to misrepresenting and omitting material facts about its Puerto Rico closed-end bond funds, but Ferrer and Ortiz contested the charges.<br />
<br />
Investors lost $2.25 billion in September 2013 alone through funds invested in Puerto Rico government bonds and other island-based securities, as their overall value fell to $7.31 billion from $9.56 billion, according to the Puerto Rico Financial Institutions Commissioner’s Office.<br />
<br />
The losses on Puerto Rico bond and securities investments add up to $3.7 billion so far this year, according to the commissioner’s office. The figure balloons to $4.52 billion when non-local fund investments are added in.<br />
<br />
Local losses may not have stopped. There is little or no liquidity in the closed-end fund market, Financial Institutions Commissioner Rafael Blanco said. The lack of liquidity is exacerbated by rules requiring the tax-exempt funds only be sold to Puerto Rico residents.<br />
<br />
In all there are 48 funds, known as investment companies, in Puerto Rico, with combined assets of $15 billion, according to local press reports.<br />

La frase ha penetrado hasta los cuartos oscuros del inconsciente colectivo del movimiento estadista. Muchos de los que llevamos el ideal en el corazón la hemos repetido múltiples veces. La decepción es general por los privilegios de unos pocos, el olvido hacia la gente que trabaja por su partido, la pobre o ninguna lucha por la estadidad, la desatención hacia las personas, el líder que en su arrogancia se cree celebridad y hasta los actos de corrupción de conocimiento público que quedan impunes en lo criminal como a nivel administrativo. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Cuando aspirantes a candidaturas de todo tipo, desde asambleístas municipales hasta la gobernación, tuvieron que tomar las charlas que dio la “escuela de la estadidad” -programa loable y necesario creado por Thomas Rivera Schatz, al igual que José Aponte y Quiquito Meléndez, estadista insobornable- muchos de los presentes expresaban la frase de marras, mayormente los que estaban por obligación por ser su aspiración un acto de entera lealtad en la amistad con el aspirante a alcalde de su pueblo. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Es innegable lo lacerado de la identidad política y sentido de pertenencia al partido de la palma, desdibujándose a través de los años hasta convertirse en un antónimo de la estadidad. Ambos conceptos ya no son intercambiables como lo fueron en el pasado. Se ha creado una distancia considerable entre ser estadista y estar afiliado, y votar no necesariamente significa combatir la descolonización, pues muchos estadistas consideran al PNP otro partido de administración.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
De todos los factores que han creado la desafiliación por un lado y la reafirmación a la igualdad política por el otro, creo que los dos medulares han sido el privilegio de los pocos y la corrupción en el gobierno. Los privilegios lo vemos en los contratos a amigos para asesorar en nimiedades que nada aportan al gobierno ni al adelanto y ejecución de política pública. Es una manera de enriquecerse; muchas veces imprudente que parece más un asalto legal que una contribución a Puerto Rico.</div>

Hay una variedad de contratistas que asustan y que hacen pensar que quien gobierna a Puerto Rico es el PRI mexicano. Muchos de ellos caminan con la máscara de la arrogancia y con la avaricia en su conciencia como el Eneas compañero de Benitín. Esa involución no es de ahora, viene de años desarrollándose paulatinamente hasta devenir en la crisis moral que tenemos, como sucedió dos semanas antes de las elecciones de 2008 en el Comité Central del PNP donde personas solo hablaban de los puestos que tendrían en el gobierno y unos pocos de los contratos que felizmente obtendrían. Ninguno habló de la estadidad. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Sin embargo, la peor decepción la genera la corrupción. Desde el segundo cuatrienio de Pedro Rosselló ha sido una pesadilla recurrente en el PNP. Cada administración tiene sus personajes que sin escrúpulo alguno rasgan las vestiduras de la moral pública y de la decencia dentro del gobierno. Muchos de ellos no son procesados, porque los mismos jefes de agencia que lo saben prefieren mirar para el lado en lugar de hacer los referidos correspondientes. Esto ha creado la cultura de la complicidad con una detestable frase que lo justifica todo: “Si los populares lo hacen, ¿por qué nosotros no?" </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Actualmente hay varios casos en distintas agencias del gobierno de funcionarios de confianza que cometieron actos de corrupción. Son de confianza, no de carrera. Algunos han sido referidos a las autoridades correspondientes, pero siguen en sus puestos. Los delitos incluyen desde venta de taquillas políticas en horas laborables dentro de las oficinas de la agencia hasta aprovechamiento ilícito y favoritismo anti ético desde sus puestos. Los jefes en cada una de esas agencias lo saben y los protegen. En cada uno de estas acciones ellos han mirado para el lado, pues solo reaccionan cuando la peste a podrido sale por la ventana.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Esto afecta toda actividad y militancia, pues de decepción en decepción surgió el “soy estadista, no penepé”. Los valores ya no son los mismos, son disímiles a los nuestros, por lo que el compromiso desaparece y solo en la estadidad somos iguales. A veces he pensado que ser PNP es un peligro, porque además de la tristeza tiene efectos secundarios. Y ocasionalmente he pensado que abstenerse del proceso político sería un acto saludable de justicia y un imperativo moral. La felicidad nunca fue lo que creíamos. Como dijera el bardo español Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola: “Porque ese cielo azul que todos vemos, / ni es cielo ni es azul. / ¡Lástima grande que no sea verdad tanta belleza!”</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>La situación socio-económica y política en Puerto Rico, está dura! </b></span></div>

<br />
En un término popular, es como un compadreo, que funciona para facilitar y dar libre licencia a todo acto de corrupción.<br />
<br />
Por otro lado, surgen grupitos de otras especies de partidos políticos, buscando también su oportunidad de enriquecerse de la forma fácil, como los otros.El problema es más grande, porque por ser Puerto Rico, un país en gran medidas dependiente de la política socio-económica del gobierno federal, por los lazos socio-politicos que nos une con esta nación, cualquier candidato que no tenga una representación social genuina, y en línea con el gobierno estadounidense, no podría realizar eficientemente su función de liderato, por los controles éticos que ejerce el gobierno federal, en términos de la política pública en los aspectos socio-económicos.</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
A todo esto se suma, que los líderes, motivados por el espíritu de corrupción, herencia de la avaricia que los inspira, ejecutan medidas poco pensadas, que al parecer son favorables a la seguridad del incremento de sus intereses personales, pero que perjudican al pueblo y comprometen los recursos del país.<br />
<br />
Todo esto ocurre, cuando el espíritu de patriotismo de los líderes y políticos se muere, y viene a ser reemplazado por el espíritu de la avaricia, donde nada importa más que sus ambiciones egoístas.<br />
<br />
Por esta situación, Puerto Rico está en su mayor estado crítico, porque el pueblo desesperado, ya no sabe en quien creer, a quien elegir. El pueblo ha perdido su fe y su confianza en los políticos, y no parece que se pueda ver la luz al final del famoso túnel oscuro.<br />
<br />
Sin embargo, lo peor que podría suceder, es que nos rindamos como pueblo! No podemos rendirnos! Tampoco podemos quedarnos de brazos cruzados.<br />
<br />
<b>A continuación yo les presento mi visión, de lo que yo considero podría ser una solución viable y segura para lograr sacar a flote nuestro país.</b><br />
<br />
Puerto Rico como país, libre e independiente, no tiene futuro para nadie, ni a corto ni a mediano plazo.<br />

La propuesta del partido independentista, de una república libre y soberana, es una falacia que no promueve un futuro de progresos económicos, ni una garantía de seguridad social, y ellos lo saben! Sino pregunte al Sr. Rubén Berrios, quien aparentemente aboga por la independencia, pero vive y tiene propiedades en los Estados Unidos.<br />
<br />
Es una manera hipócrita de predicar una doctrina de querer un país libre e independiente, pero te vas a vivir y a hacer fortuna al país que tú no quieres como aliado y que debería administrar los recursos del país que tú quieres que sea una república, y no un Estado.<br />

El partido Popular Democrático, también sabe que Puerto Rico como un país libre e independiente, e incluso, ni siquiera como un estado libre asociado, tiene ningún futuro, más que solo para la maquinaria de corruptos, que por décadas vienen destruyendo todo el aparato económico del país, hasta lograr lo que somos hoy, un país endeudado y quebrado, ahogado por la miseria asfixiante, que va estrangulando a la población, al sistema comercial y empresarial, y que va mutilando todo el aspecto social. Es un horror! Ni siquiera imaginar a Puerto Rico como una república independiente, con tantos ladrones y corruptos.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Qué nos queda como pueblo?</b></span><br />
<br />
Tomar una decisión! Ver por lo que sea mejor en línea con el bienestar común de todos los ciudadanos. El sentimentalismo no nos llevará a ningún lado. Tenemos que ser objetivos; y con la razón y la lógica, decidir por lo que sea realmente conveniente para el país y para el pueblo.<br />
<br />
Querer una república libre e independiente, ya lo hemos dicho, no nos proporciona un futuro seguro para nosotros, para nuestros hijos y nietos, ni a corto ni a mediano plazo. Tampoco el Estado Libre Asociado, por eso estamos así al día de hoy, en este estado, los políticos y líderes tienen licencia para robar.</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Los independentistas te dirán; los americanos no nos quieren. Los populares te dirán; la Estadidad no nos la van a dar. La realidad es, que tanto a los unos como a los otros, les conviene que les creamos las tonterías que nos dicen, pero necesariamente, no tiene que ser así.</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
En el siguiente comunicado, yo te diré como los puertorriqueños podemos lograr un gran cambio de futuro real para todo el pueblo. </div>

Estuve leyendo el decreto para "regular" las redes sociales por parte del Presidente Trump.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Primero, en USA hay dos conceptos legales: Editoriales y plataformas. Conceptos cabe decir que se hicieron a principios del siglo XX.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Una editorial puede ser un periodico, una radio, un canal de television, etc un Medio de comunicación que controla el contenido que transmite.<br />
<br />
Al controlar el contenido que comparte tiene una serie de responsabilidades legales sobre estos.<br />
<br />
Ademas que se le aplican una serie de regulaciones a todos los niveles (estado y federal). una plataforma es un medio de comunicación que no controla el contenido que comparte. Ejemplo: una empresa telefonica, una empresa de correo, empresas de cables, etc.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Una plataforma no tiene las mismas responsabilidades legales ni la mismas regulaciones que una editorial.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
El decreto de Trump lo que indica es que si las empresas de social media empiezan a regular el contenido de la comunicación que se comparte en sus infraestructuras ( fact checking, shadowbanning, favorecer o desfavorecer ciertos contenidoso tendencias politicas) estas deben ser tratadas como editoriales y no como plataformas por los entes reguladores. Actualmente las empresas redes sociales son tratadas como plataforma.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">¿Que implicaria ese cambio?</span></b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Veamos Ejemplo:</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Una persona usa Movistar, Verizon o Claro para planificar o asesinar una persona. Segun la ley de EEUU Movistar, Verizon o Claro es una plataforma y no tiene responsabilidad legal de que una persona use sus servicios para planificar un crimen.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Actualmente en teoria si una persona planifica el asesinato de una persona o un crimen usando twitter, la compañía no tendría responsabilidad legal porque según la ley es una plataforma.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b>Pero si debido al decreto Trump el estatus de twitter cambia a Editorial, la situación es diferente.</b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
En este caso si una persona planifica/comete un crimen usando twitter, la compañia es responsable legalmente, esto tendria consecuencias tanto penales como civiles. Los directivos de twitter podrian ir a la carcel. Twitter podria ser sujeto de demandas civiles a diestra y siniestra.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Hasta el momento compañias como google, facebook, twitter, pornhub, etc Se han declarado como plataformas principalmente por:</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
1- Se libran de cumplir de N cantidad normas, regulaciones y leyes que se le aplican las editoriales. En EEUU un periodista puede ir preso por difamación, como plataforma un red social se libra de este tipo de riesgos legales.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
2- Siendo plataforma y no teniendo responsabilidades legales del contenido, se libran de ser sujetos de miles demandas civiles donde pueden perder miles de millones de dolares.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Segun lei (quizas sea exageración) twitter podria perder hasta el 40% de su patrimonio por demandas y USA es uno de los paises que mas demandas civiles hay en el planeta.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Entonces, segun el decreto Trump, si las compañias de redes sociales siguen controlando contenido, dejaran de ser tratadas como plataformas y seran tratadas como editoriales. Por lo tanto, Trump realmente no esta censurando las compañias de redes sociales ni creando nuevas regulaciones.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Pero se asesta un duro golpe, si las redes sociales no se vuelven neutrales, se les aplicara legislaciones mas duras y responsabilidades legales.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That is what keeps Puerto Rico in poverty! Most of the people they employ are part time, with no rights, so they have to depend on US welfare to make ends meet.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-decoration-line: underline;">Now they are trying to get it back, using the COVID-19 and the "need to make medicines in the USA" as a lobbying weapon to put political pressure in Congress & the USA to bring it back! </span><br />

<b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-decoration-line: underline;">They are using " bring medicine manufacturing home", because they don't want to pay IRS or PR taxes.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Washington – Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is today inquiring about questionable contracts and potentially wasted relief money related to the fight against COVID-19 and other disasters in Puerto Rico.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded" style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“It appears that procurement and contracting in Puerto Rico often passes through a filter of political connections before resources intended for the people of Puerto Rico actually reach them and achieve the intended use, depriving the people of Puerto Rico the primacy that they deserve,” Grassley wrote.</span></div>
<div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded" style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Following a tide of concerning reports ranging from <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/20/us/puerto-rico-protests-emergency-supplies.html">unused earthquake aid</a> that languished in warehouses, <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article241675641.html">millions of dollars in expired medicines</a>, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/10/us/puerto-rico-corruption.html">politically directed contracts</a> to favored consultants, Grassley is pressing the territory’s government for information on its response to these issues.</span></div>
<div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded" style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In particular, Grassley raises concern about new contracts for COVID-19 testing going to companies with close ties to a Puerto Rican political party but without any experience in providing medical supplies or products according to a <a href="https://www.elnuevodia.com/english/english/nota/problemswithrapidtestskits-2558966/">report in El Nuevo Dia</a>. Additionally, the government of Puerto Rico made an advance payment of $20 million for contracts that may now be canceled.<br /><br />In a letter to the Governor of Puerto Rico, Grassley requests information on a variety of related issues including the recent resignations of health officials, the decision to use contractors with no prior experience in medical supplies for COVID-19 tests, the potential political considerations made in that decision-making process, the lack of notifications to the Financial Management Oversight Board regarding these large purchase orders or contracts and the ‘discovery’ of $3-$4 million worth of medicine expiring under the control of the Puerto Rican health department.<br /><br />The senator is also seeking information about the findings related to an investigation initiated by the governor of the fired former emergency management director who oversaw the warehousing of earthquake aid, along with any other similar investigations involving government malfeasance.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">El coronavirus COVID-19 se originó en el laboratorio del Instituto de Virología de Wuhan como parte de un programa de investigación viral chino, NO de un murciélago comido en un "mercado húmedo" de animales de Wuhan. "El paciente cero" trabajó en el laboratorio, luego ingresó a la población de Wuhan, donde comenzó el brote. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Según un nuevo reporte explosivo del periodista de investigación Bret Baier y reportes anteriores del Washington Post. Según el informe d Baier, "múltiples fuentes que han sido informadas sobre los detalles d las primeras acciones del gobierno de China y han visto materiales relevantes" dijeron lo siguiente: <br /><br /> • El mercado húmedo de Wuhan</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inicialmente identificado como un posible punto de origen nunca vendió murciélagos; Culpar al mercado húmedo fue un esfuerzo del régimen chino para desviar la culpa del laboratorio, junto con los esfuerzos de propaganda dirigidos a los Estados Unidos e Italia..<br /><br />El programa de investigación chino sobre virus fue parte de un esfuerzo por demostrar que su capacidad para identificar y combatir virus es igual o mayor que las capacidades de Estados Unidos, según informaron varias fuentes al Washington Post. <br /><br />El régimen comunista chino suprimió y modificó datos, destruyó muestras, borró informes preliminares, sofocó artículos académicos y restregó áreas contaminadas para ocultar evidencia de la transmisión accidental del virus. Los médicos y periodistas que advirtieron sobre laPropagación del virus y su naturaleza contagiosa y transmisión de persona a persona fueron "desaparecidos".<br /><br />Aunque el gobierno chino cerró rápidamente los viajes nacionales desde Wuhan al resto del país, no detuvieron los vuelos internacionales desde Wuhan..lo que permitió la llegada del virus a otros países empezando por los Estados Unidos. • La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y su director general Tedros Adhanom ayudó a China a cubrir sus huellas , "desde el principio".</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /> • En los 6 días después de que altos funcionarios Chinos ,determinaron en secreto que probablemente se enfrentaban a un brote en Wuhan, la ciudad organizó un banquete masivo para decenas de miles de personas y millones comenzaron a viajar para las celebraciones del Año Nuevo Chino.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Para cuando el presidente de China Xi Jinping finalmente advirtió al público el 20 de enero, más de 3,000 personas ya habían sido infectadas. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Esto es tremendo", dijo Zuo-Feng Zhang, epidemiólogo de la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles. “Si hubiesen tomado medidas 6 días antes, habría habido muchos menos pacientes y las instalaciones médicas habrían sido suficientes. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Podríamos haber evitado el colapso del sistema médico de Wuhan ". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EL VOCERO</b></span></div>

Publicado el 17 de Abril de 2020<br /><br />El presidente del Senado Thomas Rivera Schatz presentó el 24 de marzo la Resolución Conjunta del Senado 99, dirigida a que se declare “como política pública que la única forma de asistir a la economía de la Isla es que el Congreso la integre a la economía nacional, extienda trato igual en los programas federales como parte de Estados Unidos igual que los diferentes estados. La igualdad es el único mecanismo de desarrollo económico que hará la diferencia para los residentes de Puerto Rico”.<br /><br />Lo que buscaba la resolución, <b><u>que inexplicablemente fue rechazada por la Cámara de Representantes, es que en estas circunstancias coyunturales en las que se encuentra la nación se pueda participar de todo desarrollo económico, de política contributiva, de políticas sociales y de ayudas federales en igualdad de condiciones a los cincuenta estados de la Unión.</u></b> O sea, la resolución tenía dos propósitos: la igualdad y que el PNP volviera a ser lo que fue en tiempos de antaño, un partido ideológico.<br /><br />Tres semanas después, sorpresivamente, <b>la Cámara de Representantes aprueba una resolución para pedirle al secretario de Justicia de los Estados Unidos, William Barr, que no apele la decisión de la Corte de Apelaciones del Primer Circuito en Boston para que la misma advenga final y firme. La misma propuesta de Aníbal Acevedo Vilá</b>, y que a todas luces el líder popular busca que en la finalidad de la controversia judicial el resultado sea que el Tribunal Supremo no se pronuncie sobre el “estatus”, y que bajo el ELA esos beneficios se pueden conseguir. O sea, otra vez lo mejor de dos mundos.<br /><br />Lo que se viene dando desde hace años es una descomposición política dentro del PNP. Los grupos de intereses con fines pecuniarios y de acceso al poder para poner en marcha la industria de contratos y clientelismo ha carcomido al que una vez fue un partido de propuestas de avanzada. Todo esto ha devenido a que en las actividades políticas los empleados gubernamentales todavía afiliados a ese partido se vean en la obligación de asistir porque los miembros del corazón del rollo ya no asisten.<br /><br />La actual Cámara de Representantes dominada por el PNP, como una impresionante industria de contratos y clientelismo —que hasta su presidente tenía su sobrino en nómina— es una madriguera de consuetudinaria genuflexión al coloniaje. La parte más colonialista del PNP se encuentra allí. La versión azul del Partido Popular está en ese cuerpo legislativo, que es un abanico de diversas tendencias fundamentalistas de todo tipo, clientelistas, de amiguismo, colonialistas y partidistas, por supuesto. Es el país de los nibelungos en su versión colonial.<br /><br />Ese comportamiento exuberantemente manifiesto ha incidido —entre otras cosas— en que una nueva figura política aparezca en el escenario; el “soy estadista, no penepé”, figura que evidencia el monumental descontento con el giro político que ha dado el que debería ser el partido de la igualdad política y que ha devenido, a su vez, en ausencia de disciplina de partido y de militancia dentro de la misma base.<br /><br />En los últimos años ocurre un fenómeno en Latinoamérica referente a los partidos políticos. Los una vez sólidos, con gran estima por parte del pueblo, han ido mermando y perdiendo apoyo. Esto lo analiza muy bien Noam Lupu en su seminal libro: Party Brands in Crisis: partisanship, brand dilution, and the breakdown of political parties in Latin America. Los partidos como marca deben su éxito a sus programas de gobierno, su ideología y lo que sus líderes representen. Los pronunciamientos, posturas y legislación antagónica a la imagen histórica del partido mismo erosionan aceleradamente el apoyo.<br /><br />Lo que hace un tiempo dijo la hija del fundador del Partido Popular, Victoria Muñoz Mendoza, de que su partido había perdido su alma, igualmente podemos decir del PNP. Las consignas usadas por don Luis Ferré cuando su fundación en 1967, “los humildes serán los primeros”, “vamos a la nueva vida”, y luego bajo don Carlos Romero Barceló de “la estadidad es para los pobres” —consigna que en toda su dimensión incluye a los que no pueden tener un acceso digno a la justicia— ha sido olvidado desde hace mucho tiempo por líderes que solo buscan la inmediatez de su codicia. Como lo detectó una vez el historiador inglés, Raymond Carr, en su extraordinario libro, Puerto Rico: a colonial experiment, el PNP tiene un asombroso poder de autodestrucción. Y en estos tiempos, más que nunca, ha quedado manifiesto.<div>

When the world has faced trying times, Americans have never failed to rise to the occasion. The Coronavirus pandemic is and will be no exception. <b>Here’s what just part</b> of that response looks like, by the numbers:<u></u><u></u><br />

<b><span style="color: red;">EL VOCERO</span></b> - 31/03/2020<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">El presidente del Senado, Thomas Rivera Schatz, presentó una resolución concurrente para solicitarle al Congreso de los Estados Unidos igual trato a los puertorriqueños y a Puerto Rico —como jurisdicción— como se hace con los ciudadanos americanos en toda la nación. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Es un eco de lo que el abolicionista negro Frederick Douglas dijo en el siglo 19: “Debemos ser iguales en la guerra como en la paz.” La resolución pide igualdad de condiciones con los cincuenta estados en incentivos y en la participación de programas federales. No es un trato especial al territorio, lo que podría conllevar unos privilegios que beneficiarían solo a algunos con evidente afán de lucro, sino el trato igual a todos los ciudadanos americanos que aquí residen.<br /><br />Los incentivos que plantea la resolución no son únicamente para ser establecidos en el territorio. Todo lo contrario. Se trata de que en todo plan o estrategia económica que se establezca para activar la economía y fomentar el crecimiento económico en la nación, Puerto Rico sea incluido como parte de ello y pueda beneficiarse para su desarrollo económico local y en contribución a la economía de los Estados Unidos. La manufactura es necesaria para toda la economía por la creación de empleos que es parte fundamental del desarrollo económico. Se trata de que lograr la igualdad debe de superar los impedimentos que establece la actual condición política de Puerto Rico. O sea, la integración de Puerto Rico a la economía nacional en igualdad de condiciones con los cincuenta estados fomentaría el pleno desarrollo de nuestra economía.<br /><br />Si los puertorriqueños pagáramos contribuciones federales no habría quiebra y el sistema de retiro de los empleados públicos estaría saludable y las pensiones aseguradas; los bonos y deudas del gobierno de Puerto Rico estarían sin la morosidad que hoy tienen. Igualmente tendríamos trato igual en todos los programas y políticas federales, que a quienes realmente beneficia es a los más necesitados: pobres, envejecientes y personas con impedimentos. Seríamos una jurisdicción estable y segura para la inversión privada, que es la que realmente crea empleos y fomenta el desarrollo económico y no el gobierno.<br /><br />Contrario a esta propuesta de sensatez y acorde los tiempos, vemos la que ha hecho —de manera forajida y demagógica— Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, quien busca resucitar los créditos contributivos de antaño para las empresas foráneas, como las farmacéuticas, y que estaban protegidos por la sección 936 del Código de Rentas Internas Federal. Es una propuesta de trato preferencial que le daría vida a la condición de inferioridad política y ausencia de derechos que tenemos los puertorriqueños y no una propuesta de trato justo e igualdad de derechos para el pleno goce de las libertades y del fortalecimiento de nuestra economía ausente de privilegios.<br /><br />Tal vez a Acevedo Vilá se le haya olvidado que los datos certificados por el Departamento del Trabajo confirman que las tasas de desempleo más alarmantes en Puerto Rico se produjeron durante el apogeo de la Sección 936: 1982, 22.8%; 1983, 23.4%; 1984, 20.7% y 1985, 21.8%. De hecho, son las tasas de desempleo más altas registradas en Puerto Rico entre 1970 y el presente. La actual tasa de desempleo fluctúa entre 8.4 a 8.9%. Durante esos años, por cada dólar de salarios pagados por las multinacionales bajo la Sección 936, obtenían $2.37 en privilegios contributivos. Esas empresas multinacionales promediaban un beneficio contributivo 147% mayor que la compensación promedio que pagaban a sus trabajadores. Simultáneamente, dejaban de pagar más de miles de millones de dólares al Tesoro federal.<br /><br />Puerto Rico no necesita —tampoco desea— un modelo económico tan injusto e improductivo como lo fue el “Paraíso Fiscal” o “Corporate Welfare” que vivió durante la vigencia de la sección 936. Puerto Rico necesita que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos lo trate igual que a los estados como participante activo de cualquier iniciativa federal para fortalecer la producción doméstica en productos farmacéuticos, dispositivos médicos y hospitalarios; principalmente aquellas iniciativas federales dirigidas a las áreas deprimidas socioeconómicamente dentro de la Nación.<br /><br />La propuesta que se le hace al Congreso mediante esta resolución está avalada por todo el liderato electo del Partido Nuevo Progresista; y esto incluye a la comisionada residente, Jenniffer González, y a la gobernadora, Wanda Vázquez. Se trata de trato justo e igualitario para todos los ciudadanos americanos que viven en los Estados Unidos que incluye a los cincuenta estados, la capital federal y los territorios. Es una propuesta de igualdad y no de privilegios.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fthemjreport.blogspot.com%2F&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></div>THE MJR REPORThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17799759172492320310noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432394575296718523.post-47339530961990447592020-03-29T22:12:00.000-04:002020-03-29T22:12:22.262-04:00WH - Task Force 3/29/20 Press Briefing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

•Tal y como se ha discutido públicamente, desde las pasadas dos semanas he intensificado los esfuerzos para que Puerto Rico sea parte de la solución al problema que tiene Estados Unidos por la falta de manufactura y producción de medicinas y dispositivos médicos bajo su jurisdicción. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Esta semana se dieron importantes y positivos desarrollos sobre este tema, con algunos intentos de sabotearlos. Veamos los desarrollos sobre este importante tema, que pretende que logremos nuevos incentivos contributivos federales para volver a convertir a Puerto Rico en el principal centro de productos farmacéuticos del mundo, con la generación de miles de buenos empleos aquí:</div>

Para los que lo llaman mantengo corporativo, solo miren a la calidad de los empleos que esta crea; a los que lo piensan que es anti-estadidad, simplemente miren cuán indudablemente americano será si ahora mismo le aseguramos a nuestra gente, el pueblo americano, que los productos que necesitan fueran manufacturados en Puerto Rico”</div>

<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
◦Peor aún, el Presidente de la Cámara, Thomas Rivera Schatz, propuso y aprobó en el Senado una resolución concurrente en la que le dicen al Congreso federal que ellos rechazan cualquier iniciativa para darle un incentivo contributivo a Puerto Rico. Esa resolución ha recibido el rechazo <<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://acevedovila.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D831a0ac6150beb5f65d7f0582%26id%3D98918ea571%26e%3D1ca7604715&source=gmail&ust=1585605952974000&usg=AFQjCNEJnuoMVoONGKBl8swa4QS0bXAWnw" href="https://acevedovila.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=831a0ac6150beb5f65d7f0582&id=98918ea571&e=1ca7604715" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://acevedovila.us3.list-<wbr></wbr>manage.com/track/click?u=<wbr></wbr>831a0ac6150beb5f65d7f0582&id=<wbr></wbr>98918ea571&e=1ca7604715</a>> y repudio de amplios sectores de la sociedad puertorriqueña y está pendiente de ser considerada en la Cámara. </div>

Hasta este momento, la Comisionada Jenniffer González, la gobernadora Wanda Vázquez, el precandidato Pedro Pierluisi y el Presidente de la Cámara Johnny Méndez, han guardado total silencio sobre la resolución aprobada por la totalidad de los senadores del PNP.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"I talked with a man today, an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this Coronavirus scare was gripping America.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He simply smiled, looked away and said:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for... I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies...that they respect what they've been given...that they've earned what others sacrificed for."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly observing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary days. We didn't know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like Americans enjoy today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And no home went without sacrifice or loss. Every house, up and down every street, had someone in harm's way. Maybe their Daddy was a soldier, maybe their son was a sailor, maybe it was an uncle. Sometimes it was the whole damn family...fathers, sons, uncles...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Having someone, you love, sent off to war...it wasn't less frightening than it is today. It was scary as Hell. If anything, it was more frightening. We didn't have battlefront news. We didn't have email or cellphones. You sent them away and you hoped...you prayed. You may not hear from them for months, if ever. Sometimes a mother was getting her son's letters the same day Dad was comforting her over their child's death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And we sacrificed. You couldn't buy things. Everything was rationed. You were only allowed so much milk per month, only so much bread, toilet paper. EVERYTHING was restricted for the war effort. And what you weren't using, what you didn't need, things you threw away, they were saved and sorted for the war effort. My generation was the original recycling movement in America.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">And we had viruses back then...serious viruses. Things like polio, measles, and such. It was nothing to walk to school and pass a house or two that was quarantined. We didn't shut down our schools. We didn't shut down our citie</span><span style="background-color: white;">s. We carried on, without masks, without hand sanitizer. And do you know what? We persevered. We overcame. We didn't attack our President, we came together. We rallied around the flag for the war. Thick or thin, we were in it to win. And we would lose more boys in an hour of combat than we lose in entire wars today."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He slowly looked away again. Maybe I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Then he continued:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Today's kids don't know sacrifice. They think sacrifice is not having coverage on their phone while they freely drive across the country. Today's kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms whose husbands were either at war or dead from war. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today's kids rush the store, buying everything they can...no concern for anyone but themselves. It's shameful the way Americans behave these days. None of them deserve the sacrifices their granddads made.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, no I don't need anything. I appreciate your offer but, I know I've been through worse things than this virus. But maybe I should be asking you, what can I do to help you? Do you have enough pop to get through this, enough steak? Will you be able to survive with 113 channels on your tv?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I smiled, fighting back a tear of my own...now humbled by a man in his 80's. All I could do was thank him for the history lesson, leave my number for emergency and leave with my ego firmly tucked in my rear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I talked to a man today. A real man. An American man from an era long gone and forgotten. We will never understand the sacrifices. We will never fully earn their sacrifices. But we should work harder to learn about them. Learn from them...to respect them."</span><br />

President Trump is marshalling <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="https://whitehouse.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4da4828d48b4efa4fc1138955&id=b0305d91eb&e=8052eb3b6f"><b><span style="color: red;">every resource at America’s disposal</span></b></a> </span>to fight against the global Coronavirus pandemic. He’s grateful to our nation’s local leaders, doctors, nurses, law enforcement, and first responders who are waging this battle on the ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They need all the help they can get—and so do American workers and businesses. Every American family deserves immediate relief and certainty in this difficult time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
President Trump told Congress to send him a bill that protects our economy, your job, your retirement savings, and your family's future from this global pandemic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Democrats are blocking it. Their donor wish list comes before helping you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Senate Republicans are ready to send a relief bill to the President’s desk. Instead of joining them, Democrats voted it down. Their leaders are demanding a litany of partisan line items that have nothing to do with fighting the Coronavirus or saving our economy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should have to answer to every American: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why have they prioritized these partisan issues over help for working families of every background?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Audits of election results (yes, seriously)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Airline carbon emissions</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Corporate diversity requirements</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Collective bargaining for Federal workers</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Expansion of wind/solar credits</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And the list goes on and on—for 1,119 pages in Speaker Pelosi’s bill, to be exact.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With these demands, Democrats in Congress aren't trying to rescue our country. They aren't trying to rescue our economy. They're trying to rescue their partisan agenda—and they’re willing to hold America hostage to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As one senior Democrat reportedly put it: This relief bill is “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now is no time for partisan politics or to exploit a serious crisis for political gain. Now is the time to finish good-faith negotiations that deliver economic and healthcare support to working Americans.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
President Trump and other leaders have asked every American to do their part to help slow the spread of Coronavirus by staying home and social distancing. The American people have selflessly heeded that call. As our citizens step up and do their part, it’s time for career politicians in Washington to do the same. No more delays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The clock is ticking. The hour for action is here. Our country deserves it.</div>
