I am sure her sudden praise was because of the pushback she received from her tweet criticizing Ivanka for building a tent with her children.

People started bringing up her past - incest and adultery, which doesn’t endear her to her constituency.

I did read it. You must have missed it.

"The act allows the POTUS to direct companies to produce what is needed in an emergency -- in this case, it's ventilators and N95 masks."

This has been enacted several times, twice by this POTUS.

It's not about martial law.

But go ahead and compare me to Nazi sympathizers. It's what you do when people don't agree with your dumb conspiracies. You compare them to sympathizers of evil people/governments.

***BREAKING***

Trump has implemented the Defense Production Act. After invoking the Act a few days ago, Trump has now ordered it be implemented.

MINUTES AGO this was captured on cell phone video outside of Illinois, where the Governor has issued a "Shelter in Place" Quarantine/Martial Law/Home Detention/Citizen Grounding



This drone video was taken by a Wolverine in California



And THIS incredible video was shot on the ski slopes of Vail, CO

I now know someone with covid19, my Pastor's daughter in law. Pastor and his wife are under quarantine.

It's what I do? Dumb conspiracies? What conspiracies? Can you provide the links or the quotes to my "dumb conspiracies"? And show me where I routinely compare anyone who disagrees with my "dumb conspiracies" to "Nazi sympathizers".

I have a feeling though you aren't going to do that. I have a strange feeling you're either going to ignore the request or "nah it's not worth it".

Anyways, Trump did not enact the DPA, let alone enact it twice. It was enacted by Congress back in the early 50s. The DPA is martial law. You are unbelievably ignorant of simple facts, data, and logic. It's amazing.

America has been under martial law since the 30s. "Dumb conspiracy"? Yeah, here, pull my other finger.

Anyway...

Newsweek put out two articles about Continuity of Government and said the CoG has been activated and is on standby "just in case":

He didn't? Then what was the hysteria about in your previous post?

Anyway, I'll just put this here ... TWICE Trump has issued orders enacting parts of the DPA.

Issued June 13, 2017:

In accordance with section 303(a)(6)(A) of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the “Act”) (50 U.S.C. 4533(a)(6)(A)), I transmit herewith notice of actions to rectify a shortfall in the space industrial base. The Department of Defense will take actions to target critical technology item shortfalls affecting aerospace structures and fibers, radiation hardened microelectronics, radiation test and qualification facilities, and satellite components and assemblies.

I also have included my determination required pursuant to section 303(a)(5) of the Act. Please find enclosed my determination that these proposed initiatives are essential to the national defense.

Sincerely,

DONALD J. TRUMP

Issued March 18, 2020:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.) (the “Act”), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy and Findings. On March 13, 2020, I declared a national emergency recognizing the threat that the novel (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 poses to our national security. In recognizing the public health risk, I noted that on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the outbreak of COVID-19 (the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2) can be characterized as a pandemic. I also noted that while the Federal Government, along with State and local governments, have taken preventive and proactive measures to slow the spread of the virus and to treat those affected, the spread of COVID-19 within our Nation’s communities threatens to strain our Nation’s healthcare system. To ensure that our healthcare system is able to surge capacity and capability to respond to the spread of COVID-19, it is critical that all health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19 are properly distributed to the Nation’s healthcare system and others that need them most at this time.

Accordingly, I find that health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19, including personal protective equipment and ventilators, meet the criteria specified in section 101(b) of the Act (50 U.S.C. 4511(b)). Under the delegation of authority provided in this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may identify additional specific health and medical resources that meet the criteria of section 101(b).

Sec. 2. Priorities and Allocation of Medical Resources.

(a) Notwithstanding Executive Order 13603 of March 16, 2012 (National Defense Resource Preparedness), the authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act to require performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, and to implement the Act in subchapter III of chapter 55 of title 50, United States Code, is delegated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to all health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19 within the United States.

(b) The Secretary of Health and Human Services may use the authority under section 101 of the Act to determine, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and the heads of other executive departments and agencies as appropriate, the proper nationwide priorities and allocation of all health and medical resources, including controlling the distribution of such materials (including applicable services) in the civilian market, for responding to the spread of COVID-19 within the United States.

(c) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall issue such orders and adopt and revise appropriate rules and regulations as may be necessary to implement this order.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

I've read the DPA, it is NOT martial law. You are an exceptionally ignorant person.

CoG is used every year for the SOTU address. I would be concerned if the government DIDN'T have a CoG for emergencies like this.
