Biden pledges to veto Senate-passed bill ending COVID emergency declaration
The Senate on Thursday narrowly passed a GOP-led measure to end the national emergency declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic. The 48-47 vote came after several Democratic absences allowed Republicans to eke out the necessary simple majority, Politico reports.
Don't think that means victory just yet, however. The bill still has to pass through both the Democrat-controlled House and the president's desk to become law — and Biden on Thursday made very clear he'd stop any such legislation in its tracks.
"Strengthened by the ongoing declaration of national emergency, the federal response to COVID saves lives, improves health outcomes, prevents economic and educational shutdowns, and supports the American economy," wrote the executive office of the president in a Thursday statement. "Actions by Congress to end these authorities abruptly and prematurely would be a reckless and costly mistake."
"If Congress were to pass this resolution," the statement continued, "the President would veto it."

Facing financial peril and potentially being shut down by the Senate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revokes Emergency War Measures Act. Internal documents discovered by the Canadian Senate that point toward Trudeau’s cabinet discussing the political benefits they would gain by invoking the Emergency Act.

In British politics, septuagenarians and octogenarians, if they remain in politics at such an advanced age, are generally in the back benches of parliament, or in the Lords. It is rare that they would ever take an executive or leadership post. The last time we had a prime minister over the age of 70 was Winston Churchill, who left the office for the last time in 1955 (at the age of 81). I have noticed that American leaders tend to be getting older in recent years. When the race for the Democratic nomination was underway, ahead of the 2020 election, and it came down to Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, Donald Trump, at the age of 73 and at that time the oldest president in US history, was the youngest person in the running for the next presidential term.
With respect to the presidency, this has been a disappointing recent trend. Clinton, (2nd) Bush, and Obama began their presidencies at 54, 62, 55, respectively. Prior to that, Reagan was an outlier at 77. Before him, most presidents took office in their early-60s or younger. Naturally, life expectancy was considerably lower a long time ago.In British politics, septuagenarians and octogenarians, if they remain in politics at such an advanced age, are generally in the back benches of parliament, or in the Lords.

A 38 page document recently released describes many different adverse side effects. Why did you and the science table continue to advocate for everyone to get vaccinated if you knew Pfizer is causing deadly adverse effects?
They are asking solid concerns. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN BLASTED THROUGH ALL MEDIA? WHEN WILL MEDIA BE CHARGED FOR PREVENTING TRUTH FROM BEING BROUGHT FORWARD?
