Public Health Emergency Extended

The Biden administration plans to extend the public health emergency declaration for COVID for the 11th time. They’re not doing it because of infection or mortality rates-both of which have been flat for months. They are doing it to keep MILLIONS of Americans on welfare. During COVID, Medicaid has grown to include 30% of our country and the number of people using food stamps has shot up by 4.4 million people also.

 

As we all suffer with the needlessly high fuel and gas prices, keep in mind that the idiot in the Oval Office is begging Saudi Arabia for oil. Also remember that our country was a net exporter of these commodities less than 2 years ago, also we were energy independent. This green new deal shit has got to stop. The “democrats” are ruining our country, the reasons are many, it is not just oil and gas.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
