Trump team failed to follow NSC’s
pandemic playbook

The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.

I don't believe anything Politico say. Credibility completely gone. Not sure where the lie is but sure it is to be found.

The NSC ? The group that believes only they know how to run a country? That group where the impeachment " witnesses" against Trump came from?

According to the Playbook - the States - including New York State - were supposed to stockpile ventilators, masks, gowns, etc. They did not do that. I wonder what they spent those Federal grants on instead of public health materials?

Crud. Now we can have Shifty back in his secret SCIF plotting Impeachment #2 for not doing what the NSC wants again. When did I vote for NSC? I know I vote for President, Senators, and Congressman. But I didn't see NSC on the last ballot I cast.

Government studies are a dime a dozen. You go to war with the army you've got; you fight a pandemic with the bureaucracies you've got. The real issue is strategic surprise. By any measure, Trump was ahead of the game by shutting down China flights. Democrats will pick and choose "facts" from what was nothing but bureaucratic noise that they themselves ignored.

This appears to be an Obama-era 'playbook.' Was it similar quality to the obamacare playbook? Obama was advised to replenish the 100 million N95 respirator masks used in the 2009 swine flu epidemic that killed over 12,000 people. He didn't do it.

When a war starts, and this is certainly a pandemic war, the best laid plans are the first that go down the tubes. You have to remember back on any past date certain, the White House team only knew what they knew at the time and not what would be subsequently known weeks in the future. If you have been watching President Trump since he was elected, the last thing Trump wanted to happen is for a Chinese corona virus to sneak into the USA through “open borders” inside the bodies of up to 3,000 Chinese a week who were flying direct from China to the USA, spread to Americans making them sick, and doing a hatchet job on the US economy.

Well, gee, Politico. Maybe if you and your leftist pals in the House hadn’t been interfering with PDT and his administration via the impeachment idiocy for weeks on end, he might have had more time to deal with this kind of thing. But, no. You just had to impeach him and then you just had to call him a racist for closing our border to the Chinese. Now shut up and drop dead.

Aren't the hospitals supposed to order these supplies? Why is the federal government, that is charged to protect our borders and control our currency given the responsibility to run for profit hospitals?

The state governments should include them self in the blame game. Have you noticed republican governors never complain, they try to fix the problems. The democrat governors want the feds to fix their Big $$$$$ problems they had prior to the virus. Doesn't NBC own Politico?

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
