Ebola Travel Bans Enacted by Nearly 30 Countries, but not the U.S.

 

“Why Are We The Last on Ebola Travel Ban?” ~~ Dr. Ben Carson, retired pediatric-neurosurgeon at Johns-Hopkins

Logic is dead. Excellence is punished. Mediocrity is rewarded. And dependency is to be revered. This is present-day America.

When people rob banks, they go to prison. When they rob the taxpayer, they get re-elected.

Politics is the second oldest profession in the world and it’s a lot like the first.~~ Ronald Reagan

The Crisis of Confidence

Also, the Internal Revenue Service isn’t targeting (reporters), the Islamic State is JV (junior varsity), Iraq is secure, the National Security Agency isn’t eavesdropping (on Americans), Benghazi was about a video, the economy is getting better and your can keep your health plan.

The Ebola Fiasco: CDC’s Frieden’s Meltdown

The Ebola fiasco is can be traced right back to Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

     When we listen to his convoluted reasoning, we wonder what planet he has been living on.

     Here’s what he said about stopping citizens of West Africa from coming into our land:

     “If we isolate these countries, what’s not going to happen is the disease staying there. It’s going to spread more, all over Africa and we’ll be at higher risk.”

    Bill O’Reilly asked this question on the O’Reilly Factor, “Does that make any sense to anybody? It’s just ridiculous.”

     Ebola travel bans have been ordered by 30 countries and two airlines, Air France and British Airways have suspended flights from the Ebola-ravished countries.

     Comment: President Obama assured the American people Ebola would not come to this country. And he said if it did, the CDC would know how to control it. Neither was true.

     Americans are dying because the CDC did not know how to contain the virus once it reached our shores. And I’m not sure they ever will.

     The CDC has an annual budget of $6.6 billion.

     Hence, we must stop all flights from West Africa to the U.S. and stop them immediately. Recent polls show the American people — by a large majority — favor the travel restrictions.

Houston Mayor Annise Parker (right) and her wife

Houston Outrage! The Rise and Fall of Democracy

     Lesbian Mayor Annise Parker ordered at least five Houston, Texas-area pastors to turn over their sermons to find out what they have said about the hotly contested transgender rights ordinance, homosexuals, gender identity and about Parker. Failure to comply could find the preachers in contempt of court and they could face jail time.

     She called their sermons “fair game” and her city attorney presented subpoenas to the local pastors also to turn over speeches, papers and communications with the members of their congregations.

     The subpoenas are a terrible violation of these preachers’ First Amendment protections.

     “The subpoenas are just the latest twist in an ongoing saga over Houston’s new non-discrimination ordinance,” Fox News reported. “The law, among other things, would allow men to use the ladies room and vice versa.”

     However, according to the Houston Chronicle, opponents of the ordinance initiated a petition drive and received 50,000 signatures which was more than the 17,269 necessary to call for an election and let the people decide the issue in a referendum.

     “However, things got nasty when the city attorney threw out the 50,000 signatures over alleged irregularities, Fox reported.

     So, the opponents — led by a number of courageous Houston-area preachers — filed a lawsuit which now is in court. Mayor Parker responded by issuing the subpoenas.

     “The city’s subpoena of sermons and other pastor communications is both needless and unprecedented,” Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Christina Holcomb said in a statement. “The city council and its attorneys are engaging in an inquisition designed to stifle any critique of its actions.”

     Meanwhile, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott sent a letter to the mayor and her staff and told them to stop “bullying” Christians. He said their request for the pastors’ sermons and other documents is a serious violation of their First Amendment rights.

     Reports have surfaced that Mayor Parker may rescind the subpoena orders. Story developing.

It’s Your Money

     Government investigators are looking into why the U. S. Air Force only received $32,000 in scrap for 16 airplanes that cost $486 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

     The Italian-built C-27A cargo planes were purchased for the Afghan Air Force but were grounded because of lack of adequate maintenance and spare parts, theJournal said. “Including maintenance costs, the Air Force’s total tab was $596 million before officials decided to park the planes and ultimately sell them for scrap at six cents a pound.”

     Comment: Question: why did the Air Force purchase planes from Italy when they could have been built in the U.S. and provide extra jobs?

     Another question: why did Air Force planners not factor in maintenance personnel and spare parts?

     Hummm!

Obama Executive Order: Recruit Illegals for Military

     In case Report readers have not heard, back in September the Department of Defense outlined President Obama’s plan to pass an executive order to allow illegal aliens to join our military, MinuteMen News reports. The plan is to go into effect next January.

     “Mr. Obama has fired 90,000 (American) soldiers and officers, some while serving in Afghanistan, while he is at the same time planning to hire illegals who broke the law to get here… MinuteMen pointed out.

     “The army is at pre-1940 levels, the Marine Corps is at about 1917 levels, the Navy is at WWI levels and the Air Force is as low as it’s ever  been, yet we are firing 90,000 soldiers but we can afford to hire illegals,” Minutemen pointed out.

     Comment: Only Congress has the right to change the immigration law to allow the military to hire the illegals.

     Also, it is a felony to arm illegals. So when all of these illegals are given weapons, they will be breaking two laws — for being in this country and bearing firearms.

Attorney General Holder Gives Gay Marriage Team Top Award

     During the Annual Attorney General’s Awards Ceremony this week, Eric Holder gave the top award to the gay marriage implementation team.

     The AG’s Award for Exceptional Service — the department’s highest award for employee performance — was given to the 29 people “responsible for outstanding achievement…” Minutemen News reports.

     Although Congress overwhelmingly passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and it was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, President Obama instructed Holder not to defend the law. Two years later the Supreme Court struck it down.

     “Among many others, this year’s award recipients include those who have helped lead the fight to extend equal protection, and equal rights, to our lesbian, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters — from enforcing civil rights laws to securing a historic victory before the Supreme Court, the impact of which continues to radiate through courts and communities across the country,” Holder said at the ceremony.

     Comment: When five justices of the U. S. Supreme Court voted against DOMA, they openly and willingly redefined marriage that had been the Judeo-Christian standard for more than 4,000 years. Five black-robed justices — not chosen by the people —  snubbed their noses at the people of California who on two occasions voted overwhelmingly to defend traditional marriage and almost every state in the union where the voters upheld marriage laws. Now 29 states recognize same-sex marriages. And, one by one, federal judges are striking down marriage laws in the remaining states.

Franklin Graham: When Judges Overrule Will of People

     Rev. Franklin Graham, son of far-famed evangelist Billy Graham, said it’s a sad day in America when federal judges overrule the express will of the American people.

     “This is a democracy, and the people spoke, and we’re seeing that activist judges across the country are overturning the will of the people,” he told WCNC in Charlotte, North Carolina. “We saw that in California. We’re now seeing it here in North Carolina…”

Commentary

After the Election  — Whoa! Say What?

     There is so much shame in politics but the politicians no longer try to hide their deceptive agendas.

     For instance, remember Bowe Bergdahl? The members of his platoon all said he deserted to the Taliban. Now the army has concluded its investigation. But it won’t announce their finding until AFTER THE ELECTION. Of course they are talking about the mid-term election on Nov. 4.

   

Obama vows by executive fiat to grant some form of amnesty to millions of illegal foreigners in this land, hence bypassing Congress and in violation of encoded law. But guess what? He plans to do it AFTER THE ELECTION.

     

A White House aide was involved in the prostitution scandal in Colombia where numbers of Secret Service agents and military personnel were caught with prostitutes. However, the White House will not announce its findings on the WH personnel until AFTER THE ELECTION.

   

Next year’s Obamacare premiums are expected to increase substantially but the Obama administration is keeping the increased cost in premiums a secret until AFTER THE ELECTION.

  

Finally, former CIA Director Leon Panetta said last week that on the night of the Benghazi attack, he told the President it was terrorists. Yet the President, Susan Rice, and Hillary Clinton for days told the American people the attack was due to an anti-Mohammed video. We can now expect a further report on the incident AFTER THE ELECTION.

Comment: The people in Washington must think WE THE PEOPLE are a bunch of suckers. Why are they hiding the truth from us until AFTER THE ELECTION? It’s quite simple. All of the above reflect on the leadership and the trustworthiness of President Obama and, hence, the democrats who are running for Congress.

     For instance, Obama treated Bergdahl like royalty and even gave up five terrorists for his release. Then, it was found that, more than likely, Bergdahl was a traitor. Embarrassment to the White House — and democrats.

     What about Benghazi? The President was in the midst of a reelection and had told the American people he had won the war against terrorism. So he had to concoct a story about Benghazi and the video.

     Then there is Obamacare and premiums are expected to rise exponentially next year. But the White House doesn’t want WE THE PEOPLE to know because it will hurt the democrats who passed Obamacare into law.

     Why is the President waiting to grant amnesty to millions of illegals? Because the vast majority of the American people oppose it and it would hurt democrats.

     Hence, we will wait until AFTER THE ELECTION for Obama’s shoe to drop on you.!

Special Report From Ray: America Begins To Face Its Own Ebola Virus

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/colores-arcoiris-541258.jpeg

Special Report From Ray: America Begins To Face Its Own Ebola VirusFear, and an even greater caution, has gripped the entire staff at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Texas. That’s where Ebola virus victim Thomas Duncan of Liberia died Wednesday. Sunday a nurse, 26-year-old Nina Pham, who had been caring for Duncan was diagnosed with the same Ebola virus symptoms that took Mr. Duncan’s life after ten days of treatment in the hospital. Tom Duncan went through kidney dialysis and used a breathing machine, neither of which restored him.

Nina is believed to have the very first case of this type of Ebola virus that has originated in the United States. A man in Braintree, Massachusetts, near Boston, was initially believed to have the virus but after a thorough examination the doctors declared thathe didn’t. It is now known that as many as 70 staff members at the hospital aided in the care of Thomas Duncan in the ten days he was being treated. Each of them is being carefully monitored for any signs of the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also announced Sunday morning that someone who was in close contact with Nurse Nina Pham before she came down with Ebola, is now also in the isolation ward at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and being monitored for any Ebola symptoms.

Dr. David Lakey, who is the Commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, said that Nina began with a low grade fever Friday night. He also said “We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been preparing for this possibility. We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent a further spread.”

Doctor Kent Brantly, who worked for Samaritan’s Purse, was flown by that organization from Liberia to a hospital in Atlanta where he recovered from Ebola. Since then he has given blood transfusions to two Ebola victims. Once it was discovered that his blood type and Nina’s also matched, he flew to Dallas to give her a transfusion too. He would have gladly done the same for Thomas Duncan, but their blood were of two different types.

According to medical science, short of using the experimental drug ZMAPP which brought healing to Doctor Brantly from the same strain of Ebola virus that is raging now in five African nations, the blood of a person healed from Ebola is full of the Ebola ingredients needed to heal others.

On November 10, Doctor Brantly gave blood to Doctor Rick Sacra who had also contracted Ebola while serving in a Liberian hospital. Last week he sent his blood donation to Omaha to help another victim.

Meanwhile, many hospitals all over our country are establishing hospital drills, 911 emergency operator guidelines, and everything else that may be called into action within minutes, including the right thickness of body bags. The Ebola virus has thrown hospitals into an emergency learning curve.

However, in spite of what they are doing, out of 1900 nurses in 46 states, 76% of nurses say their hospital has not given them an official policy on how Ebola victims are to be handled, and 85% say they haven’t provided educational training sessions on the possible epidemic where they could interact and ask questions. 37% of these nurses also said they don’t believe their hospital has the equipment necessary to treat Ebola victims. That has prompted the largest union and professional association of nurses in America – National Nurses United – to respond by saying “We want the first line of defense to be the most prepared. Our hospitals are resisting us. The CDC doesn’t say we need hazmat suits. If this doesn’t change dramatically, we will picket every hospital in this country if we have to.”

While nurses throughout America are equipped to handle measle epidemics and massive nationwide cases of the flu, it is obvious that this virus demands an entirely new approach that no one planned for.

Thomas Duncan was 42. He had flown to America so that he could watch his son graduate from high school. Born and raised in Liberia, he fled that country when war was raging in it. After the war he returned home to find another kind of war – a war against the Ebola virus that is now ravaging his and nearby nations and has ended his life.

Guinea, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Nigeria, as well as Liberia, have been besieged with the dreadful disease. There have been eight thousand, nine hundred and fourteen cases of Ebola that have struck these countries since the first case in December 2013, and four thousand, four hundred and forty-seven – have died from it as of today.

The World Health Organization has declared this is the biggest outbreak of any disease since the organization began and it is the deadliest. It declared today that in two months there could be up to ten thousand new cases every single week. Even now there are more than one thousand new cases weekly.

Meanwhile, nurses in Liberia are threatening to go on strike because they are not being given their wages. If this happened it could cause the Ebola epidemic to become impossible to stop.

And what is happening in these African nations now, according to the CDC, is only the tip of the iceberg. They predict a possible 1.4 million cases there by January 2015 even if the nurse’s stay on the job.

Now that this nurse has contracted the dreaded virus in America, fear is spreading from the hospital throughout the nation much faster than the Ebola virus ever could. Everyone from President Obama to the doctors at the Presbyterian Hospital are attempting to ease the situation by telling us that they do not believe the Ebola virus can be easily caught. Still, there are some scientists now saying they believe that once symptoms of the virus have started in someone, they could spread it whenever they cough or sneeze. They call the spreading of Ebola in that form “aerosol droplets.”

Medical sanitation in America is tremendously different than in the several nations of Africa. More than 370 doctors, nurses, and health aid workers have died in Africa since this plague began because they are most prone to contracting the virus from those they care for.

Although Thomas Duncan showed no signs of Ebola when he boarded the Liberian plane on September 20, it is known that less than a week before, he had been attempting to help a pregnant woman neighbor with the virus who shortly afterward died. It is assumed by doctors that this was where he received the germs that later killed him.

The fact that the virus shows no symptoms for at least two weeks after contact with an Ebola carrier is why he was unaware that he was a carrier too. During the time of incubation prior to the symptoms breaking out, a carrier is not dangerous to anyone. People aboard the plane he flew on were therefore safe from infection.

At the elementary school where five children had been in the company of Tom Duncan, every precaution is still being taken to isolate the virus. Mike Miles, Superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District said “Our nurses are making two rounds every school day to every classroom just to check if anyone has questions or if there are any symptoms in any of them. Each classroom is being sanitized daily.”

What is known about the Ebola virus at this moment is that it is contracted through an Ebola victim’s bodily fluids, such as vomit, feces, blood, saliva, urine or semen. According to the World Health Organization the main two causes are an Ebola victims feces vomit or blood.

Federal doctors have already zeroed in on why Nurse Nina Pham contracted Ebola. They agree that it must have been what they call “a breach in protocol.” It has been confirmed by the hospital that she wore protective garb on every occasion of being close to the now dead Duncan and the doctors have no trace of how it happened. But some of the staff at the Texas hospital are blaming the CDC for not monitoring Nurse Pham each time she left Tom Duncan. Instead, she simply monitored herself.

Jennifer Joseph, another nurse at the hospital, said Nina trained her and she is now confused. Jennifer said “She is one of the most meticulous, thorough, effective nurses. She taught me infection control, hand hygiene and protocol. I learned so much of that from her. Now what am I to think?”

Doctor Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said whatever the nurse did wrong, she was undoubtedly unaware of it at the time. For example, she could have been touched by any part of Duncan’s bodily fluids without even knowing it while she was removing the protective gear after serving him. She may also have contacted one of his bodily fluids while inserting tubes into his blood vessels or helping to get air into his airway.

The Dallas Presbyterian hospital is no longer admitting anyone into their emergency room and has sealed it off while staff members treat Nurse Pham. This morning doctors reported that she is in “clinically stable” condition. They said she is cheerful and has talked with her mother by phone.

48 members of Tom Duncan’s family and friends of the family are still being monitored for the disease. However, at this time none of them show any symptoms.

Nina Pham had only two people that she had spent time with during the two weeks the virus lay dormant. She also has a King Charles Spaniel that, though quarantined at this time, hopefully can be returned to her when she recovers. Her two friends are now being carefully monitored and are also being quarantined, one of them also in the hospital.

Nina Pham was raised by a Vietnamese family in Fort Worth. Friends describe her as a very active Christian. She attends mass regularly at the Lady of Fatima Church in Fort Worth. Nina graduated from Texas Christian University in 2010 after earning a Bachelor of Science in nursing. In August 2010, she received her nursing license and this year qualified as a critical care nurse.

Tom Ha, who teaches Nina’s Bible class, told the Dallas Morning News “The family is very dedicated to Christ. They go out of their way to help people. I expect, with the big heart she has, she went beyond what she was supposed to do to help anyone in need.”

The only other known victim living outside Africa who contracted the Ebola virus is in Spain. She is a nurse who spent much time caring for a missionary priest in a Madrid hospital. At last report she is “showing signs of improvement.”

Meanwhile comes the sad news that a United Nations medical worker who was infected by the Ebola in Liberia has died in a Berlin hospital. His name has not been released. Two other health workers who had been working in Liberia and contracted the disease were flown to German hospitals for treatment. The first man has recovered and returned home. But the Uganda aid is still being treated in Frankfurt.

In England, hospital and emergency services are undergoing an intensive drill in preparation for possible cases of Ebola.

As JFK airport in New York began a new kind of screening on Saturday that includes checking for Ebola symptoms; and Newark Liberty, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare, and Hartsfield–Jackson in Atlanta will do the same beginning this week. But our borders continue to go unchecked as hundreds of people from all nations continue to pour in with whatever condition each is in and no matter what they are carrying.
