Joe Biden brings COVID-19 national emergency to an end

| April 11, 2023

Despite initially hinting that he would not sign such a bill, Joe Biden signed a bill, on April 10, 2023, that ended the COVID-19 national emergency. Biden initially was going to end the national emergency next month, but decided to sign this bill instead. The bill had bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress.

From the New York Post:

It’s unclear what immediate effect Biden’s signature will have on linked US policies, such as immigration policy and his student debt forgiveness plan.

Biden signed the legislation behind closed doors on the eve of his trip Tuesday to Northern Ireland and the White House acknowledged the milestone without fanfare in a brief late-afternoon email that read: “On Monday, April 10, 2023, the President signed into law: H.J.Res. 7, which terminates the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The legislation drafted by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) passed the House 229-197 in February, with a handful of Democratic supporters, and then the Senate 68-23 last month with about half of the chamber’s Democrats voting in favor.

In January, the White House said that Biden would end both the national emergency and a separate public health emergency on May 11 after more than 1 million Americans died from the respiratory disease that originated in Wuhan, China.

The Justice Department has said that ending the emergency would terminate the Title 42 migration policy that allows for the rapid deportation of people who illegally cross the US-Mexico border.

Could paranoid Karens stop wearing masks now?

AW1Ed

I have nothing pleasant to add.

Forest Bondurant

During a 60 MINUTES interview last September, he said the pandemic was over as well.

Any notion to enforce immigration laws will remain shitcanned.

FJB.

Deckie

Wow. He’s only two years late with it — if not more.

Dope.

Xiden IS the National emergency…that needs to end.

This business got out of control and we were all lucky to live through it.

Which “it”?
The ScamDemic? Or the Gooberment overreach to the ScamDemic?

Yes.

I think the SFC is saying both.

(I want to watch that movie now…)

And yet we will still see paranoid snowflakes wearing masks.

I am still seeing them everywhere, including driving their cars, alone.

those wearing masks while driving are cnn viewers

Saw two of them, both parking their cars in the Walmart lot. They were both alone, and they wore the masks into the store.

I have no doubt they were Biden/Bernie voters.

IMHO driving alone while wearing a mask is like some “Professional Virgin” going to bed alone wearing a condom.

Without covering their f*ckin’ noses after all that, even.

> Joe Biden brings COVID-19 national emergency to an end

Unfortunately, the Joe Biden national emergency is still ongoing.

Commie-Tsar

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!! I STILL MASK UP AND HAVE HAD 32 JABS TO KEEP ME SAFE FROM YOU FILTHY PEOPLE THAT REFUSE THE JAB!!! MY EMPIRIC DATA, CAREFULLY MASSAGED TO FIT THE NARRATIVE, TELLS ME THAT MANY OF YOU ARE GONNA DIE OF COVID!!!

MASK UP! TAKE THE JAB!!!

Commissar Pooper's Narcissism

I said this to people in the room I was in. They laughed at me. I told them that if they did not put their masks on and take the jab, I would wake up and they would stop existing. They laughed at me. I got up to prove to them I was dreaming. I ran hard to the wall so that I could go through it. The loud noise and sudden pain told me that I was not dreaming. I hit the wall hard and damaged decorations on both sides. I have two different lawsuits against me. I started a counter lawsuit because the wall was not supposed to be there.

I didn’t realize that Northern Ireland was a transition point for meth, fentanyl and other things, yet Joe Pedo took Hunter the Head with him on his getaway trip.

MustangCPT

Well, Hunter may see this as an opportunity to sell his “art” in a new market.

Forest Bondurant

It occurred to me who Hunter reminds me of…

He’s America’s version of Uday Hussien: in his father’s back pocket, gets away with atrocious behavior without consequences, never held accountable, and enjoys the protection and intervention of the Secret Service.

maybe Herr biden signed the bill because his pharmacy stocks went down.

Somebody tell the damn VA. Had an appointment today at the Tulsa OPC and they were still requiring masks. Yet they are not required at the Muskogee Hospital 45 miles or so away.

It is an established fact by multiple studies that paper surgical masks cannot filter out virus particles. They are only designed to prevent germs in breath from being blown into a surgical field.

QMC

Soooooo……..

Does this mean we can do away with all the ballot dropboxes and other items that seem to encourage less than honest behavior during the election season now?

A Terminal Lance Coolie

No. Nonononono.

Those are necessary to a free and healthy democracy, you see. Those must stay! /s

I would re lablel them as used needle/syringe dropboxes.

They mention immigration policy. As if there was one other than just walk across the damned border.

HTTR4LIFE

That was the policy in effect when our ancestors came over in the 17th through 19th Centuries.

Really? It ended in Florida last year.

Thanks, DeSantis. 👍
