The Pandemic Primary

Voters in three states cast presidential primary ballots yesterday amid growing concerns about the coronavirus. While Bernie Sanders attempted to exploit fears of the virus to promote his socialized healthcare scheme during Sunday night's debate, the move fell flat with voters in Arizona, Florida and Illinois.

Joe Biden won all three states by comfortable margins. In Florida, which awarded the most delegates last night, Biden crushed Sanders 62% to 23%.

As a result of Biden's sweeping win yesterday, Politico estimates that he has a commanding lead of approximately 290 delegates in the nominating contest. For Sanders to overtake Biden at this point, he would need to win about 66% of the remaining delegates, and that is extremely unlikely to happen based on recent results.

In other news, President Donald Trump ([link removed]) secured the GOP nomination last night after winning the Florida primary.

And in Pennsylvania ([link removed]) , Republican candidates swept three special elections for open seats in the state House of Representatives. While the results maintain the status quo (all three seats were previously held by Republicans), it is worth noting that one race occurred in Bucks County, which Hillary Clinton carried in 2016.

Nevertheless, the coronavirus is having a major impact on our elections. There were reports of chaos at various polling locations (here ([link removed]) and here ([link removed]) ) yesterday as hundreds of volunteer poll workers and even some election officials refused to show up.

Ohio was scheduled to vote yesterday, but Gov. Mike DeWine and state health officials issued an emergency order closing the polls and overruling a judge's decision that the primary should continue. Four other states – Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maryland – have also postponed their primaries.



Endangered Species

Scientists tell us that many species are dying off. Another is on the verge of extinction – the pro-life House Democrat. Last night, Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), a genuinely moderate pro-life Democrat, lost his primary to a left-wing candidate endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

According to Gallup ([link removed]) , 29% of Democrats self-identify as "pro-life." But after yesterday's primaries, there may be only one pro-life Democrat left in the House. That doesn't sound very "representative" to me.

Sadly, it is impossible for any Democrat to aspire to higher office if they believe that saving unborn children is a desirable goal. It wasn't that long ago when JFK ([link removed]) was pro-life, when Teddy Kennedy ([link removed]) was pro-life, when Jesse Jackson ([link removed]) was pro-life, when Joe Biden ([link removed]) was pro-life.

But now Biden is an extremist on abortion, supporting late-term abortions and even taxpayer-funding of abortion.

It's not unusual to run into people who say they used to be pro-choice, but that they changed their mind once they saw video of an in utero surgery or an advanced sonogram ([link removed]) from a daughter or granddaughter.

How ironic that the American political left, which claims to respect science, is moving in the exact opposite direction when it comes to understanding that unborn children are little human beings.



Taking On China

On January 31^st, the Trump Administration declared a national health emergency and extended its travel ban ([link removed]) to China. The political left and its media allies immediately attacked the president.

The very same day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi ([link removed]) tweeted that she was calling up legislation (the No Ban Act) to prevent the president from imposing "such biased and bigoted restrictions."

As the nation debates appropriate responses to the coronavirus, the president often brings up his border security efforts and he's right to do so. Here's what we must not forget: China knew as far back as November ([link removed]) that it was confronting a virulent outbreak.

From its previous experience, it had to know that it was a coronavirus. China's communist leaders lied to their own people. As the virus spread, they continued to lie to their own people and they made no effort to give necessary information to the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, what was going on from November to January 31^st? More than 8,200 Chinese were flying to the United States each and every day. Three million Chinese ([link removed]) visit the U.S. every year. Many of them travel through California and Washington state.

When Donald Trump was presented with the evidence of what was happening with the virus, he was the first world leader to institute a serious travel ban. When he did it, he was attacked ([link removed]) by the left for being a racist, a bigot, and a xenophobe. And he was attacked by the media again today ([link removed]) for referring to the virus from China as a "Chinese virus."

I can only imagine what the Chinese thought watching the left's hysterical reaction. They knew how deadly the virus was. They knew that thousands of Chinese were flying to the U.S. every day, some of whom were obviously sick and bringing the virus to the U.S.

They must have laughed watching the "useful idiots" -- half of our political establishment and much of our media establishment -- condemning Trump rather than communist China for what was happening every day since November.

By the way, new polling shows that 80% of Americans support ([link removed]) Trump's travel restrictions. That may explain why Pelosi abandoned ([link removed]) her plans to pass the No Ban Act, which 219 House Democrats have co-sponsored. Something to remember in November.



Securing The Border

The Trump Administration is taking additional steps to secure the border as nations around the world scramble to combat the coronavirus. The State Department ([link removed]) ordered U.S. embassies to suspend visa services in nations with pending travel advisories. The order affects approximately 100 nations.

In addition, the administration is ordering immigration field offices ([link removed]) to close for the rest of the month in order to prevent an outbreak of coronavirus in migrant detention facilities. The move comes as Mexico ([link removed]) is facing increasing scrutiny for its lack of action to combat the virus.

Again, it is worth repeating that the Border Patrol apprehended more than 2,000 Chinese nationals ([link removed]) attempting to illegally cross the southern border last year.
