Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell revealed his concerns in a warning manner for the White House not to proceed with a big stimulus deal prior to the election, according to the Washington Post’s report released on Tuesday. The senator questioned the good faith of the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, concerning her negotiation with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, suggesting that any reached deal could disrupt the Senate’s plans to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court next week. The market had reacted positively to Pelosi’s and McConnell’s revelation that both Republicans and Democrats have teamed up to work out the differences and deliver additional stimulus before November 3.
Washington — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that the Senate will vote Wednesday on the coronavirus relief proposal crafted by Republicans, in addition to a separate vote on additional funding for a program to aid small businesses on Tuesday. McConnell’s announcement is a blow to efforts by the White House and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to negotiate a larger bill. McConnell said in a statement Saturday that the proposal, which carries a price tag of more than $500 billion, would provide funds to expand unemployment benefits, another round of the Paycheck Protection Program, financial aid to schools and funding for testing and tracing. Republicans attempted a vote on the bill over the summer, but the effort was blocked by Democrats, who argued that the bill did not go far enough to address the needs of the American people. In his statement posted to Twitter, McConnell blamed Pelosi for failing to negotiate with Senate Republicans to secure a deal. “Speaker Pelosi has wasted months playing political games with the health and financial security of American families,” McConnell said. The House passed a massive $3.4 trillion relief bill in May, which McConnell has refused to consider. Senate Republicans and the White House argued that the House bill contained too many provisions unrelated to the pandemic. The House then approved a slimmed-down $2.4 trillion bill last month. Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have engaged in negotiations over a bill on and off for several months. Mnuchin proposed a $1.8 trillion plan, which Pelosi rejected, arguing that it still did not go far enough. Mnuchin said last week that he was willing to compromise with Pelosi on testing, and President Trump said he would be willing to agree to an even higher number than the framework Mnuchin proposed. In his statement, McConnell said the Senate would consider a proposal negotiated by Pelosi and the White House. “If Speaker Pelosi ever lets the House reach a bipartisan agreement with the Administration, the Senate would of course consider it. But Americans need help now,” McConnell said. In the absence of a larger proposal, McConnell plans to move forward with his narrower bill. McConnell told reporters in Kentucky on Thursday that “we’re in discussions with the secretary of the treasury and the speaker about a higher amount,” but said “that’s not what I’m going to put on the floor.” When specifically asked if there could be a compromise within a $2 trillion range, McConnell said, “I don’t think so.”
United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed on Tuesday the Democrats and the GOP have joined efforts to write the relief bill in order to pass it in the Congress before the presidential elections.
Pelosi expressed her optimism about reaching a bipartisan agreement, but noted there are still sticking points that would have to be resolved before the bill is approved. State and local funding and liability overhaul remain topics of the discussions.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchina and Pelosi are expected to speak in the evening, after which it will be found out if the two sides have reached the common ground on the relief.
The Dow Jones extended gains on Tuesday as the United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said stimulus deal is possible by day’s end. Also, US President Donald Trump stated that he is willing to go over $2.2 trillion in economic stimulus.
The Dow Jones was up by 276 points at 12:43 pm ET or 0.98%. The Nasdaq 100 climbed by 0.92%, and the S&P 500 traded 1.06% in the green.
Republican senator Ted Cruz claimed on Tuesday he is “very skeptical” about reaching an agreement between the Republicans and Democrats on the country’s next coronavirus stimulus bill.
Previously, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted that a $500 billion aid bill proposal made by the Republicans “remains unacceptable” and “totally inadequate” as “the crisis has gotten even worse” since they unveiled it.
According to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel, the US Senate is expected to vote on the bill this week.

The president made the comments during a call with his campaign staff on Monday morning that reporters got on.
“People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots…” Trump said, according to Politico.
Despite slamming the coronavirus expert, the president went on to say “Fauci is a nice guy” before saying “he’s been here for 500 years.” During the call, Trump also insisted that if he had listened to Fauci’s advice there would be “700,000, 800,000 deaths.” America has suffered at least 220,000 deaths from the coronavirus. Trump also called Fauci a “disaster,” who is a “bomb” when he goes on TV, but a “bigger bomb if you fire him.” “If there’s a reporter on, you can have it just the way I said it. I couldn’t care less,” the president said following the heated comments. Shortly after the phone call, Trump took to Twitter to complain about the doctor. “Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope. All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said “no masks & let China in”. Also, Bad arm! “…P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons. Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!” The president and the doctor have appeared to be feuding in recent weeks since Trump was diagnosed with Covid. On Saturday, Fauci revealed that he was “absolutely not surprised” by the diagnosis. Fauci said “oh my goodness,” when he saw the lack of masks and social distancing during a “superspreader event” at the White House. At least ten people in Trump’s inner circle became infected with coronavirus following the event, which was held to officially nominate his Supreme Court pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The doctor called the event “a completely precarious situation” and said he was “worried” that the president would become sick after seeing the event. “Nothing good can come out of that,” Fauci said. “That’s got to be a problem — and then sure enough it turned out to be a super spreader event.” Now, 34 people in Trump’s orbit are known to have become infected since the event, according to a leaked FEMA tally.
Pelosi sets 48-hour deadline for White House to resolve coronavirus stimulus talks after long phone call with Mnuchin
The House Speaker’s demand came after she spoke with Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin by phone for over an hour in a bid to resolve the on-going deadlock.Time is winding down before the November 3 presidential election to reach agreement on a new coronavirus relief package. On October 10, Mnuchin proposed a $1.8 trillion economic stimulus proposal in talks with Pelosi but many Senate Republicans have balked at a package that big. Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, said work remains to be done and set a deadline for the matter to be resolved – though it was unclear what would happen if this wasn’t met.“While there was some encouraging news on testing, there remains work to do to ensure there is a comprehensive testing plan that includes contact tracing and additional measures to address the virus’ disproportionate impact on communities of color,” he tweeted. “There remains an array of additional differences as we go provision by provision that must be addressed in a comprehensive manner in the next 48 hours.” Pelosi said while differences remain with the Trump administration on a wide-ranging coronavirus relief package but she was optimistic legislation could be pushed through before Election Day “I’m optimistic because, again, we’ve been back and forth on all of this,” Pelosi said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “Decisions must be made by the White House in order to demonstrate that the Administration is serious about reaching a bipartisan agreement that provides for Americans with the greatest needs during the pandemic.” Mnuchin’s spokesperson said that he and Pelosi were expected to speak again on Monday night. The Democrat dominated House of Representatives has approved a $2.2trillion coronavirus stimulus package, but a deal with the White House and Republican-held Senate is still yet to be reached. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will vote on smaller coronavirus relief packages Tuesday and Wednesday. Republicans gave favoured a series of singular bills with smaller individual price tags while Democrats have advocated for a sweeping package that addressed several sectors of the pandemic. The first bill will center on additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which provides assistance to small businesses during the pandemic. The second vote on Wednesday will center on aid to schools and funding for testing. The overall proposal will cost $500 billion, much smaller than the White House’s offer, and the $2.2 trillion package House Democrats recently passed.
Isolation from people is the BEST thing you can do. For people I must see they stay OUTSIDE and we speak through plexiglas
Constantly circulate you air. I suck in air through a panel ULPA U15 filter i made and i exhaust the air through a powered ventilator on the roof
Use a proper surgical silicone mask with P3 filters. I exhausted all supplies. SO i made my own. They are the ONLYP3 R ULPA U15 cartage filters made in the world for face masks. I took the technology from Biolabs Level 4 filtration systems. If you had showed a interest i sent you a complimentary sample of my new cartage filter last week.
Take Vitamin D3 in the form of Choleciferol. Usually that is a minimum of 10,000 IU a day. Studies have shown you should raise your blood levels to 25(OH)D concentrations above 40–60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L). You can only know by getting your blood tested. I do blood tests every 3 months.
It is also recommended to take vitamin K2 in the form of MK7. Recommended dose of 100 micrograms
You should be taking Melotonan at night 2mg.
I like to add Omega 3 fatty acid supplements
Zinc is a great immune system support vitamin. It is hard to get into your cells because of its ion charge.
Green Tea aides in getting Zinc into your cells. I make it by boiling pure water with FRESH Ginger root (a natural anti inflammatory), lemon and cinnamon Sticks (a natural antibiotic) first. Add the green tea after you boil the other ingredients…. let the water cool a little.
Quinine. I take it in the form of tonic water. In the US Schweppes is a good choice. I drink several glasses a day. The best TONIC water containing quinine is Fever-Tree out of India. It has higher levels of Quinine and less sugar. You can make your own Quinine by buying Cinchona bark purchased at the health food store and making your own. Lots of recipes on the internet.
Nicotine. Despite the hysteria their are many know health benefits. Studies have show that Nicotine is a natural Ace2 inhibitor. And in your sinus it is an antiviral. I prefer to get my nicotine dose by smoking a pipe with organic tobacco filtered through a charcoal filter. Just like Bill Clinton I do not inhale. I now live a minimalist life style with a few exceptions left over from my NY days. Every day i smoke 1 Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos cigar. If your are nasty smoke obsessed you could consider using a nicotine patch. These can be dangerous.
Mouthwash. I learned a long time ago to flight other corona viruses to OFTEN gargle with a mouth wash containing Chlorhexidine Digluconate. Most all the respiratory viruses grow in the case of the flue on the roof of your mouth. The Coronaviruse grows in the back of your sinuses and then “leaks” into your throat and into your lungs. Many studies have show a benefit from vigorously gargling with the RIGHT mouth wash.
Left Over from a different time in my life is a passion for Scotch Whisky. Now not just any Scotch but Macallan single malt 30 year old. I drink 1 fluid ounce every day after the markets close. The stuff costs silly money. But i have a stash in my “trophies case” See i get the stuff for free. I ask everyone who joins my Millionaires Club to send me a bottle. Needless to say i have a huge stash.
In closing we make no medical claims whats so ever for the above. These are suggestions i found in Published research from what i regard as credible sources. In these news pages i Have published the studies that support these conclusion.
Before taking any medicines, home remedies, vitamins or a drink of water consult your medical professional.
I am taking this very very serious. I lost 3 more people this weekend. Its now killing people i know in their early sixties. But we all know i am FULL OF SHIT and a criminal rouge…..
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blamed Democrats for the current deadlock, arguing there is enough time to pass the bill and confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barret if “Democrats do not obstruct this legislation.”
Democrats blocked a $500 billion Republican plan in the Senate last month and are likely to dismiss the latest GOP proposal as insufficient.
Democrats are pushing for a much larger package. The party passed a $2.2 trillion relief bill in the House.
The Trump administration has proposed a $1.8 trillion package, but that offer is unpopular with Senate Republicans.
The Senate will vote on a $500 billion coronavirus stimulus bill on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday, as a larger bipartisan deal remains elusive despite continued talks between top Democrats and the Trump administration. McConnell blamed his opponents across the political aisle for the current stalemate, arguing that the Senate has enough time to pass the GOP stimulus package and confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barret if “Democrats do not obstruct this legislation.” “Nobody thinks this $500B+ proposal would resolve every problem forever,” McConnell said in a statement on Saturday. “It would deliver huge amounts of additional help to workers and families right now while Washington keeps arguing over the rest.”
Democrats have accused McConnell of pushing ahead with Barrett’s confirmation instead of focusing on passing stimulus legislation. Democrats blocked a $500 billion Republican plan in the Senate last month and will likely dismiss the latest GOP proposal as insufficient. The chances of Congress passing new aid before the Nov. 3 presidential election have dimmed as the Senate GOP plan is more limited than what the Trump administration or Democrats have proposed. The GOP bill will include funding for schools, expanded unemployment benefits and a second round of the Paycheck Protection Program, McConnell said. The Senate will vote on the bill a day after a standalone vote on more PPP funds on Tuesday. Earlier this month, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin offered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a $1.8 trillion stimulus deal, about $400 billion less than the bill proposed by House Democrats earlier this month. Pelosi, whose party passed a $2.2 trillion relief bill in the House, dismissed the White House proposal and said it “amounted to one step forward, two steps back.” Senate Republicans, on the other hand, oppose the White House package as too large. Pelosi and Mnuchin continued their negotiations this week, though they were unable to reach an agreement. Both sides characterized the talks as productive but said major differences remain. Congress hasn’t pushed through new relief legislation in months as the coronavirus worsens across the U.S. and millions of Americans remain unemployed.
