On January 28, I called for a travel ban on China because of the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. (1/3)

freebeacon.com/politics/cotto…
"Experts" from the World Health Organization claimed a travel ban would backfire.

President Trump still acted decisively and banned travel from China, preventing 20,000+ passengers a day from arriving in the U.S.

(2/3)
Now, those same experts agree that the travel ban worked and has saved lives.

It's always better to do the right thing and protect the American people than it is to worry about being politically correct. (3/3)

Tonight Senate Democrats defeated a bill that would require abortion doctors to give life-saving care to babies born alive during abortions. This is a grave injustice. But the pro-life movement will keep fighting until our society recognizes & protects every human being.
Abortion defenders don't want you to think too hard about what we owe the survivors of abortion, because you might start thinking about what we owe them earlier in life.
Abortion survivors are not fiction, they're real. At least 11 babies were born alive during abortions in Florida in 2017. That's one state in one year. We have no idea how many survive nationwide—some statistics are too uncomfortable to collect.

I have a few thoughts on this story about @realDonaldTrump & his immigration policies... mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/23/us/…
1. It's a very peculiar view of American democracy to say the elected president is "defying" the unelected bureaucracy. I suspect @nytimes would never run that headline about, say, President Obama.
2. It's not a "nativist view" to say immigration policy should be crafted to benefit American citizens, not foreigners. Slandering "white working-class Americans" with that term is an example of the closed thinking that helped Trump win.

THREAD: How #Beijing kept the world in the dark as coronavirus spread

The govt's initial handling allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. Officials chose to put secrecy ahead of confronting the crisis to avoid political embarrassment

The government's initial handling of the epidemic allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. At critical moments, officials chose to put secrecy and order ahead of openly confronting the growing crisis to avoid public alarm and political embarrassment
Authorities silenced doctors for raising red flags. They played down the dangers to the public, leaving the city's 11 million residents unaware they should protect themselves. They closed a food market where the virus may have started, but told the public it was for renovations.

This is what's coming from the UN... except on a larger scale. #coronavirus
"In 2009 in Washington, the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the world was threatened by an H1N1 global flu pandemic. It recommended that almost everyone be vaccinated."
Then, in 2010,... the medical scientists who had advised the WHO to declare this pandemic were also paid consultants of the large international pharmaceutical companies, who stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on this upsurge in the purchase of global vaccines.
Have you had enough? Feel like reading more? In your face folks... the UN is corrupt to the core.
