What Happened This Week While Everyone Was Screeching About Kanye

10/13/2018

Comments

 
PictureScreenshot: CNN
You might not know this, but there was other news this week besides Kanye meeting with Trump at the White House. Let's have a look!

Apparently, Trump signed legislation to clean up millions of tons of garbage from the world's oceans. You'd think the environmentalists would be all over this. 

President Donald Trump added his signature to the “Save Our Seas Act” on Thursday, green-lighting an initiative to clean up eight million tons of debris from the planet’s oceans.

“As president I will continue to do everything I can to stop other nations from making our oceans into their landfills. That’s why I’m pleased – very pleased, I must say – to put my signature on this important legislation,” Trump said as he signed the Save Our Seas Act into law at the Oval Office.
​
Sponsored by Alaska Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, the bill aims to promote better domestic and international efforts at cleaning up garbage that is littered throughout the oceans. The new law will extend the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Debris Program for another five years, and promote cohesion among different federal agencies on how to reduce marine debris.
​Trump also signed a bill to help patients from overpaying for drugs. Where is everyone who is all about healthcare? 
​President Trump took a step on Wednesday to keep customers from overpaying for prescription drugs.

Insurers will no longer be able to keep pharmacists from telling consumers when paying cash would be cheaper than using insurance for their prescriptions.

The two bills signed by Trump moved to correct “gag rules” that many viewed as an egregious business practice.
​
One bill applies to private health insurance and the other to Medicare.
Democrats agreed to confirm 15 judges this week, too!
Senate Democrats accepted an offer Thursday from Senate Republicans to confirm 15 lifetime federal judges in exchange for the ability to go into recess through the midterms, allowing endangered Democrats to campaign.

The calculation by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his caucus was simple: That Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would be able to confirm roughly 15 judges if he kept the Senate in session for the next few weeks anyway. So Democrats OK’d an offer to confirm three Circuit Court judges and 12 Circuit Court judges as the price to pay to go home for election season.
Kuwait has all but stopped shipping oil to the US for the first time since the early 90s. 
Kuwait has all but stopped shipping crude to the U.S. for the first time since the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s invasion in 1990, eroding an economic link between Washington and the Arab petro-monarchy.

The halt is the latest sign that booming demand for oil in Asia, particularly as the U.S. re-imposes sanctions on Iran, and rising supplies from America on the back of the shale revolution are re-drawing petroleum trade routes.

U.S. imports of Kuwaiti crude fell to zero over four weeks through late September, the first time that shipments have completely stopped since weekly data became available in June 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Based on monthly data, Kuwaiti shipments to the U.S. haven’t stopped since May 1992, when the OPEC producer was still recovering from oil-field fires ignited by retreating Iraqi troops in the first Gulf War.
California "accidentally" registered 1500 people to vote who were not eligible. 
​The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) revealed Monday evening that it had registered 1,500 non-eligible people, including non-U.S. citizens, to vote between April and September, despite assuring the public for years it had safeguards to prevent that from happening.

The error is the latest scandal for the DMV, which had to admit a month ago that it made 23,000 over voter registration errors.

As Breitbart News reported:

In 2015, AB 60 went into effect, granting over one million illegal aliens in the Golden State the ability to apply for driver’s licenses without having their immigration status reported to federal authorities. In 2017, AB 1461, the “motor voter” law, automatically registered Californians to vote when they applied for driver’s licenses unless they were ineligible. State officials reassured the public that non-citizens would not be allowed to register to vote because database safeguards would prevent it.

The DMV says that the 1,500 improper registrations do not include any illegal aliens, according to SFGate.com.

In response to the news, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a Democrat, called for an independent audit of the DMV. Governor Jerry Brown ordered his own audit of the DMV last month, after the agency was criticized heavily by Republican businessman John Cox, who is running for governor in November against Democrat Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom.
Why am I telling you all of this cheery news, especially when we have a Newsroom at the website? 

Consider this your friendly reminder that when there is a huge story - no matter what it is - you need to start paying extra attention to what isn't being talked about. While the Kavanaugh debacle was going on, you should have been doing the same. There was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that wasn't getting the attention it should. This week was worse. We were all hyper focused on a story that was, ultimately, a non-issue. Kanye was at the White House. Well, so what? 

Always start looking harder when a story seems to take over the news. While they sit around screaming and yelling about tweets and celebrities, start looking for the real news that isn't getting reported or is being under reported. You'll always find something. And it will always be far more important than what they are trying to hyper focus us on.

We're Lobbing Missiles Again

4/13/2018

Comments

 
​Address begins around the 10 minute mark.
I'm on the fence here, but tipping to one side. So let's get into this. On one side, I do feel bad about the people killed in the chemical attack. That's my humanitarian side. I don't like watching people get killed, and I want to stop more death. But I have questions. Are we 100% sure about this chemical attack and it's origins? Are we 100% sure lobbing missiles at the plants isn't going to make it worse? 

Now, let me be clear here. I am tipping towards this being an awful idea. This is a joint deal between us and the UK and France. We're knocking heads with Syria and Russia. And we're going after another middle eastern country. Another one. And right now we really need to be pulling our troops completely out of the middle east. 

This is a group of people who have been killing each other since the beginning of time, and our missiles haven't and aren't going to stop this. So at this point, I think our considerations should be less on lobbing missiles and more and yanking our troops completely out of the region, and then pulling our money out as well. If they want to kill each other, fine. But how about we stop financing it? 

Is stepping in to an ongoing battle in the middle east that we of course won't allow our military to actually win worth going to war with Russia over? Because right now, that is, in fact, the risk we are taking. Do we want a war with Russia? Over the middle east? Because no matter what happens between us and Russia, the countries in the middle east are going to spend the next few thousand years trying to kill each other anyway. So is it worth the risk? Is it worth another war? Is it worth having yet another generation of our young men and women killed and maimed? 

And why do we have money to lob missiles at Syria but we don't have the money to build the wall? Or keep our Veterans of past wars off the streets? Or take care of them? What happened to America first? Because I'd like to see America first sometime before I die. And while we spend all this money to lob missiles and risk war with Russia, we could be using that money on America. On our people. On our security. 

​OK, I'm getting off my soap box now. I don't know about you guys, but I am sick of war.

The False Alarm of Epic Proportions and the Blame Game That Followed

1/15/2018

Comments

 
So, the other day there was an epic false alarm in the state of Hawaii.
Picture
Can you imagine picking up your phone to check your notifications and seeing that bit of horror?! I would assume this was the brown note struck in Hawaii. But really, what do you do? You're on an island. The missile was apparently only something like 20 minutes out. No message came for at least 30 minutes saying this was a mistake. What kind of shelter does one take against a ballistic missile? It's sort of like the drills during the Cold War where the kids practiced getting under their desks in case of a nuclear missile. It isn't really going to do any good. 

Everyone was reeling from that one when the threat was found to be false. I'm sure the people of Hawaii had to collectively change their shorts, but the rest of the country was left sitting here wondering how such an epic screw up could actually happen. Speculation began, with some even claiming it was actually a drill after all. 

Then, as you guessed, began the blame game. Who was at fault? Why did this happen? Blame Trump at all costs. 
Picture
A lot of this went on, but we're going to use Jamie Lee Curtis' excuse for why Trump was at fault as the example, because it was one of the first to get picked up across the world. 

First, let's talk about where this came from. This is stemming from the back and forth between Trump and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. This is one of those interactions where Trump will never be right. If he responds, he's egging him on. If he doesn't respond, he's ignoring a major security threat to the USA. Now, I'll be honest. I have my own ideas on how to handle Little Rocket Man, but not being former military or having an inside view of exactly how it works in reality, I'm not sure my own idea is feasible. I would not, however, be talking to him over Twitter. I'm not saying that Trump is wrong, but I'm not saying he's right, either. He can't be ignored, but I'm not sure tweets are helping the situation.

However, North Korea isn't exactly a new threat. This hasn't been a new thing as of 2017. As many of you already know, we had a "police action" in North Korea. Many of you also probably know that it never really came to an official end. North Korea has been threatening to blow up the USA since before I was born, and since before Kim Jong Un took over. Responses have been different from president to president. But I think the recent reaction should fall somewhere between the reactions of Obama and Trump. And if that fails, my personal plan, which again, I'm not 100% sure is feasible. 

​Anyway, the missile threat blame game stems from this interaction between Trump and Kim Jong Un. 

The only problem is that that warning wouldn't have been any less terrifying even if we had an alliance with North Korea. We could be at a period of total peace and that warning would have struck the brown note. 

Hawaii has something that is a prime target, and the people there know it.

Pearl Harbor. 

Pearl Harbor isn't just a monument. It's still an active base. If I am remembering correctly, even the Navy SEALs work out of Pearl Harbor. For a country that wants to cause damage to the USA, start a war, or anything else, Pearl Harbor is a prime target. Just ask the Japanese. 

Now a days, people assume a missile strike or any other attack will happen in large cities and financial districts, and they are correct. Those are prime targets if your goal is to disrupt our economy or cause maximum casualties. But Pearl Harbor is a target if you want to disable the Naval fleet and cause tactical damage that makes defense difficult. Where North Korea would lob a missile - if they ever did - would depend on what Kim Jong Un wanted to damage. Terrorists tend to go for large cities because they want to damage the economy and cause mass death. But North Korea might set it's sights on our military bases instead to establish power and cut our defense. And let's face it, the Navy is important for that. 

Kim Jong Un is not exactly a stable and reasonable person. He desires power to extreme levels, he desires powerful optics even if he has nothing to back up those optics, and he wants to be historically immortal. He's power posturing right now. I have no idea if he is as dangerous as he wants the world to believe or not. The problem is, Trump doesn't want to be cowed, either. He's not going to let Kim get the upper hand, even in optics. So yes, they are going to have a tough time not poking each other. 

Kim, however, would not be more stable depending on who our president was. The possible threat would be there no matter what. He was doing similar crap during Obama's presidency. Obama didn't poke him on Twitter, but he did his fair share of poking. Obama, however, had a track record of drawing lines and then walking them back. As far as Kim was concerned, he had Obama, he wasn't a threat. Now, we have a new president, so Kim has to get him under his thumb, and it isn't proving successful. Trump hasn't developed a record of advancing or walking back lines yet, so Kim doesn't really know yet where he stands. But he does known Trump is willing to poke back. Now he's got to test him to see where the line is. He's watching to see if Trump will make good on the strong words or walk it back like Obama did. 

Kim would react negatively either way. If he gets poked, he's going to ramp it up for those optics, whether he can back it up or not. If we ignore him, he's still going to ramp it up, because he desires power and immortality, so he won't allow himself to be ignored. 

So no, this isn't 100% Trump's fault. What this was was a failure of the system. Although I have to say, the video linked above makes a great case for why it may have actually been done on purpose and why it was actually a success. The people of Hawaii are well aware of the threat to themselves. It has happened before. And if they are scared of imminent doom because of the back and forth between Trump and Kim, they managed to react well to their doom the other day. That could have been real horror down there with people panicking and getting hurt, but it wasn't. So no, I'm not convinced the masses are as worried about that back and forth as Hollywood and the media wants us to believe. Sure, it's worrying. It always is. But we're not in the state of mass panic being portrayed. It's not even really an everyday thought. I think most people get what is actually happening there.

Translating for Trump: Immigration from Sh*thole Countries (update at bottom)

1/11/2018

Comments

 
Normally, I don't use foul language on this website, but because of the statements in question, use of foul language is necessary for this article. 
“What do we want Haitians here for?” the Los Angeles Times quotes President Trump as saying during a meeting Thursday, as per two sources briefed on the meeting. “Why do we want all these people from Africa here? Why do we want all these people from shithole countries?" Two sources provided the Washington Post with a similar quote. Trump reportedly made the comment while meeting with senators about a bipartisan deal on immigration. It was suggested by Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin that protections for immigrants from Africa, Haiti, and El Salvador could be restored in exchange for $1.5 billion for the border wall and eliminating the visa lottery system. Trump rejected that idea, saying the US should focus on getting immigrants from places like Norway.

Source

So we're all outraged again. Let's discuss the comments in question, since now we're being told how racist the comments were. 

We all know how eloquent Trump is with words. And, as he does, he has made a comment that has the media and some leftists absolutely triggered. 
Picture
Inappropriate? Yes. Racist? No.

Why? Because a lot of people have thought it. And no, it doesn't have to do with the folks from those countries being brown. It has to do with the countries themselves. 

This past week, immigration has been big news. A court ruled that DACA has to be kept in place. Trump ended the refugee status for people from El Salvador who were living and working in the USA since the earthquake in 2001. The FEDs raided "maternity hotels" in California for birth tourists. It's been a rough week for non-citizens. 

And then this comment came out. Why do we want people from shithole countries in the US? 

Yes. Why do we? 

In recent years, there has been a push from the left to allow anyone who wants in to the USA to come in. And from the right, there has been a push to be more selective about who comes in. Some folks claim the right hates immigrants. Some claim the left just wants the votes. 

Of course, any call to stop immigration from anywhere for any reason is being called racist. But let's break some of this down. 

- The folks from El Salvador have been here for almost 20 years. They came here as help after an earthquake. At this point, if you want to stay, you should have made motions to become a citizen. Now, any of these folks who have made steps to become a citizen should, obviously, be left alone. But if they haven't, yes, they should be sent home. It's long past time. And for those who want to whine about how hard it is to become a citizen, yes, it is. By design. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right. If you want it, do the work, like so many other immigrants before them have done successfully. 

- The same goes for Haiti. Anyone who came here for relief... if they have made steps to become citizens, leave them alone. If not, time to go home. 

- As for these countries being called shitholes... well, I'm sorry, but isn't that the excuse the left likes to use for why we should let everyone in? The countries they are coming from are crime riddled hell holes? 

- Immigration into any country is not a right, it is a privilege, and one that can be denied. No, we don't have endless resources. Yes, we are over $20 trillion in debt. Yes, we have our own shitholes in the USA, as well as homeless and abused. We have a human trafficking problem here. We have a gang problem here. And our resources should be spent fixing those problems within our own country. And our own citizens should be working alongside the government to fix those issues. 

Because of all of that, who we bring into the country should be selective. The color of their skin doesn't really matter. What they have to offer the country, does. And if you don't have any marketable skills, if you aren't going to help our economy and infrastructure, if you are going to use taxpayer dollars for your own gain, then no, you don't need to be here. At some point, you need to start fighting for your home country. Is your country a crime riddled hell hole? Then why aren't you trying to fix it instead of running from it? We have our own issues here... but no one is running away from them here. We're trying to fix them. 

Somehow, this is racist. Because anything you do or say that the left doesn't like is racist. And as far as the left is concerned, everyone should be let into the country no matter what, and to hell with the laws on top of it. 

Yes. Some countries are, in fact, shitholes. And the people leaving them may well love their home countries, but not enough to stay and fix the problem. Instead, they come here and expect to stay, regardless of the laws, for as long as they want, feeding money back home to their families who did choose to stay. And they don't want to be citizens, they don't want to assimilate, and they don't want to be part of our society. You came here because of a specific problem. You have been here for a very long time. Without the people in those countries, the issues never get fixed. So maybe it is time to go home and start building your country back up with the skills you learned here. 

And where is the outrage over Haiti? Trump is racist for his comments, but what about the Clintons? You remember the Clinton Foundation, right? All the money they raised for Haiti that never made it there? The Haitians that were protesting because of such? That was covered up instead of raged against. But words!!!! Oh my God, words! 

It is always words over action. Everyone cares, no one acts. If you actually care about these people... help them. In real time. Don't just talk about it. Actually do something. Raise money to rebuild some of these countries. Make these "shitholes" livable so these people can go home to their families and their home countries, and maybe their countries can actually thrive. If the countries thrive from your help, they won't need to live in the USA because their countries won't be shitholes anymore. If you care that deeply, stop talking and start getting dirty. 

Bottom line: our resources are limited, whether the left wants to admit it or not. Our immigration should be limited to people who have something to offer the country, not to people with limited skills and those the elites in California want for cheap labor. And if you really cared about these people, you'd act in a real way to help fix their countries. People in Haiti are still living in houses made out of trash. Why not start fund-raisers to purchase manufactured homes to ship and set up down there? Why not go to some of these countries and start cleaning up? Why not work to help these people get their own corrupt governments out of office so they can thrive? Take the time to teach your learned skills to some of these people so it can benefit their country. Instead of bringing them all here and throwing money at them, bring them home and help them in real ways. But right now, our own citizens must come first. Let's get our gang problems under control. Let's stop human trafficking, which is actually a huge issue in the USA. Let's help our poor and homeless and give them a leg up. Let's make sure no children are going hungry. Hey, we have people recovering from hurricanes and other natural disasters here, help them. There's an entire town here in NC, Princeville, where people are still rebuilding from Hurricane Matthew. A historic black town, with people who can't afford to rebuild, folks living in hotels. Let's spend the money and get them back in their homes now. Let's spend the money and the effort on our own people first. It's time for some of these other people to do the same. Help your country. Help your people. And it's time for the USA to start spending our money on our own. Stop screaming for illegal immigrants when those folks in Princeville are in desperate need. Those are our countrymen. Where's your outrage for them?
Update 1/12/18: Trump has denied making these comments in a tweet. You can read about that here. 

The Democrats say he said it. The Republicans say he didn't. Trump says he didn't. I'll leave it up to you. Comments unconfirmed.

Trump vs. Puerto Rico and Why There is Something Fishy in the Air

9/30/2017

Comments

 
Picture
The rhetoric is building. There is much crying and virtual signaling coming from the left right now, because this is "Trump's Katrina!" Trump isn't doing enough for Puerto Rico. People are dying! And it is all Trump's fault! Oh my God! 

Give me a break. There are numerous issues here right now, all of which are being completely ignored by the media, because of course they are. First and foremost, the governor of Puerto Rico doesn't seem to understand why everyone is so upset.  

“I have to say that the administration has responded to our petitions. FEMA, Brock Long, has been on the phone virtually all the time with me, checking out how things are going.”
​
“The different components of the national guard, military, FEMA and our government are working together on the priorities.”

In spite of limitations, everyone is "all hands on deck" to help Puerto Rico, says Governor @ricardorossello https://t.co/nafPuPgggj
— New Day (@NewDay) September 29, 2017

.....

“Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello just stated: ‘The Administration and the President, every time we’ve spoken, they’ve delivered…”

“The fact is that Puerto Rico has been destroyed by two hurricanes,” he said on Twitter. “Big decisions will have to be made as to the cost of its rebuilding!”

Source

And yet we're hearing the ever present cries of racist and Trump doesn't care about the poor and every other BS lie the left can toss out there in an attempt to make him look like a horrible, divisive person. 

​In the meantime, we're sending supplies, ships, and manpower down there in droves. 
Picture
Bottom line? The mayor doesn't want more supplies and manpower. She wants more money. She wants Trump to send pallets of money, not pallets of supplies. 

​Speaking of the mayor:
Picture
Puerto Rico has no power, food, water, etc. They are dying and in need of desperate help. And the mayor is spending her time in front of TV cameras... with custom made clothes! 

Where did she get the shirt and hat?! No, really. Where? Those are screen printed items, and it requires money and electricity to do that... neither of which can be found in Puerto Rico. When did she get the time and resources to design and order these clothing items? And where did they come from? Who got them for her or sent them to her? She's so concerned about her people and what Trump is or isn't doing, yet she's using precious time and resources to have these items made and sent to her so she can cry and scream for every single media outlet that arrives on the island? Or are they props? You guys know how much I love and trust our media. Were these supplied by one of our finest journalists for propaganda use? I mean, after all... none of them are asking her about it. None of them seem to notice this or are curious about it.

​Now, I don't want to come off as sounding too cold hearted here, but we are still trying to deal with the hurricane effects in the US Virgin Islands, Texas, and Florida. We can't afford to dump all of our money and resources into Puerto Rico. Yes, we can help out and do some. But we can't do everything. 

I also have a question. Where was all this virtual signaling for Princeville? What is Princeville, you ask? Well, according to MapQuest: 
Princeville is a town in Edgecombe County, North Carolina and the oldest town incorporated by African-Americans in the United States. It was established by freed slaves after the Civil War and incorporated in 1885. It is part of the Rocky Mount, North Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 940, although this census was taken shortly after 1999's Hurricane Floyd, which displaced many town residents. A 2004 special census recount placed the town's population at 2,020 residents in 818 housing units.

​Source
Princeville was decimated in Hurricane Matthew. These folks are still trying to rebuild their homes, government buildings, etc. At one point, FEMA was trying to make a deal with them to sell out, pretty much ending the town. It would stop all repairs, forcing those who sold out to go elsewhere and leaving those who didn't in a bit of a bind. It's a town of historical significance, but it also the home of many people, where they grew up, where their parents grew up, homes that have been there through generations. And there are a lot of older and poor folks living there. 

Being a town full of mostly, if not completely, poor blacks, where are the leftists? Why aren't they crying for Princeville? These are the people they claim to care about so much. These folks are in the news here in NC rather often, mostly because it is local interest and the people in the state are concerned with how the repairs and rebuilding are going. But they have fallen out of the public eye. No one is tweeting about them or asking Obama why more aid wasn't sent their way. The government officials aren't - and never were - on TV screaming about how they are dying and being forsaken by the government. These folks picked themselves up and, with the help of volunteers who are still there, began to rebuild and did their best to not give up on their town or their history. And while FEMA gave some aid, they were mostly interested in closing the town down. Some folks there considered it. But still, Princeville fights on. 

I'm not saying the people in Puerto Rico aren't important and don't deserve our help, because they are and they do. But we can't give them the world. We can't completely rebuild Puerto Rico, especially in a short time. And, bottom line... the media is lying to you. To hear this mayor with magical t-shirt powers and the media, you'd think Trump hasn't done a single thing for them. That just isn't true, and it takes very little work to find out what has actually been done. Even the governor is satisfied with the aid received to date! But they aren't alone. Texas. Florida. The US Virgin Islands. Princeville. They all need help right now to recover. And the recovery is going to be for a long time. Heck, 95% of Barbuda was wiped off the map during Irma! This is nothing more than virtue signaling, propaganda, and lies. Same old, same old. But people are still falling for it.

Dennis Rodman: Saver of Worlds

9/7/2017

Comments

 
Picture
Chicago Tribune
“For me to go over there and see [Kim] as much as I have, I basically hang out with him all the time. We laugh, we sing karaoke, we do a lot of cool things together. We ride horses, we hang out, we go skiing, we hardly ever talk politics and that’s the good thing,” said Rodman, who at 6-foot-7 is a full foot taller than the Korean dictator.

“I just want to try to straighten things out for everyone to get along together.”

Source: New York Post

I've seen a lot of people making jokes about this, but I want to take a different path.

Why the hell not?!

Ya know, Dennis Rodman does have an unusual relationship with the little North Korean fatty, so why not? I mean, it really couldn't hurt, right? Sure, Rodman's a weirdo, but apparently Kim likes him. So honestly... I'd let him give it a shot. It beats the hell out of nuclear war.

The only real issue I'd have is for Rodman's safety. While they do have an unusual relationship, Kim isn't exactly the most stable person on Earth. This is a man who has killed his own family members in brutal ways. I don't see it as far fetched that Rodman could get hurt here. 

But if he's willing to give it a go and he's got Kim's ear, I'd let him. I'm a big fan of trying to de-escalate wars and what not. It would be great if we could get Kim to calm the heck down over there. Truth be told, Kim wants the world's eye on him. He wants to be the news, he wants to be historic. He wants to go down in history for something. And I think a good deal of what is going on over there has to do with that. He wants his people to believe he has the world cowering at his feet. And he wants to be infamous in the history books for generations after he's died. 

And most of the answers so far have involved more of our young men and women being shipped into a war zone, issues with China (and Lord help us if they get pissed and call in their debts), etc. I've suggested using special operations people to go in there and take Kim and his higher ups out and then sending in troops to establish new leadership and a new government. 

And then here comes Dennis Rodman. Yeah... it couldn't hurt. I think he needs some training before he goes over there. I think he needs to be aware that Kim is unstable and it could mean his own doom if he goes there, regardless of the relationship they've had. 

Do I think Rodman is going to prevent a war? No. Not really. But he may be able to delay things over there for a little while. Maybe a few missile tests would be held off. And it could buy us some time to work things out with China so we can bring North Korea to a screeching halt with little to no lose of life in American - or any other - troops. 

Give it a shot. Train him up a little, give him a psych evaluation, and if he still wants to give it a shot, go for it.

Sit Down. Shut Up. Talk to No One

7/19/2017

 The official stressed that Trump spoke with many leaders over the course of the dinner and said he spoke briefly with Putin, who was seated next to first lady Melania Trump, as the event was concluding. Trump spoke with Putin using Russia's translator, since the American translator did not speak Russian.
​
But Ian Bremmer, who said he spoke with two people who attended the dinner, said that Trump and Putin spoke for nearly an hour while sitting among the other world leaders and their spouses at the dinner.

The latest Trump outrage is here, folks! According to the article quoted above, Trump had "an undisclosed meeting" with Putin at a dinner during the G20. 

And he talked to him for over an hour! OMG! IMPEACH! 

Seriously, folks. Putin was seated next to Melania. When was the last time you sat at dinner with a group of people - especially a large group - and just didn't speak to the person seated near you? You just ignored the ever loving day lights out of them. 

If you want to see the media freak out over absolutely nothing, read this article. It actually came across my phone early this morning as "breaking news" from my local media source, and I rolled my eyes before deleting the alert. I really didn't think anything of it, until I realized the story was starting to fill up all of my feeds, too. 

Apparently, when at a dinner with other world leaders, Trump should put his hands on his knees, stare at the ground, and shut up. For the entire meal. Probably shouldn't eat, either. Just keep that mouth shut. Melania, too. 

If he had, that would have been breaking news, too. "Trump snubs world leaders at G20! Refuses to speak, eat, or look at anyone!" 

Bottom line: Trump had a conversation with Putin. Putin was seated near Melania Trump. It's kind of what you do at a dinner party. I doubt highly that it was top secret information or they were plotting the takeover of the world in mixed company. Had they gone off into another room, yeah, that might have been news. This... isn't. 

​And this was never reported:

Parents Of U.K. Baby Barred From Potential Life-Saving Treatment In U.S. Prepare For Son’s Mandated Death

6/30/2017

Comments

 
“Charlie suffers from a mitochondrial disease that destroys the muscles and the brain,” explained Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, on Thursday. “There was no available treatment in the United Kingdom, and so Charlie’s parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, raised $1.6 million to fly him to the United States for an experimental treatment. But the hospital argued that the treatment wouldn’t help Charlie, and would prolong his suffering, and that they knew better than the parents who had to suffer through his illness and care for him every single day. Thus, the hospital argued that it would be in Charlie’s best interest to die.”

I’m sure a lot of you have already seen this story. But I wanted to talk about it anyway. I’m not an emotional person, I’m not a parent who gets the feels when they see an article about a sick child. But this one is really bothering me. I am literally tearing up as I’m writing this because I can’t stand it. I feel so awful for this baby and his poor parents that I could just scream.

And if you think this isn’t headed straight for the USA, you aren’t paying attention.

We have a treatment for this – experimental or not – because our system allows for medical innovation. The single payer system doesn’t allow for as much innovation.

Aside from that, think about what happened here. These parents raised $1.6 million dollars to get their child over here for this treatment, and the government in the UK with their single payer system decided they were not going to allow the parents to do this. Nevermind that the parents worked to raise the money. Nevermind that people cared enough about this child to help. Nevermind that there is a treatment available that could potentially help the child. And I’m sorry, whether it ends up helping him or not, the parents have a right to try. They have a right to do everything in their power to save their child. If the child dies anyway, fine. But at least they did everything they could for their child.

This is why I want government our of my healthcare. We’ve had horror stories from our readers and collected stories from around the internet. I told you folks one time about my friend in Canada who had to bring his mother here for hip replacement after their system kept telling her “18 more months,” all the while she was in screaming agony and couldn’t walk. I’ve told you about how, if government is funding a single payer system, they’d have the right to tell you how to live your life, what activities you could take part in, what kinds of cars you could drive, and they could deny you care based on an objection to your lifestyle of choice. And because it is taxpayer funded, they’d have every right in the world to do so.

This is another side effect. The government can now tell you that, regardless of whether or not you have the money, we’re not going to allow you to get treatment because we don’t approve it and think we know better. Maybe it’s your lifestyle, or maybe it’s because it wasn’t our own country’s innovation or treatment. Whatever it is, the government says no, even if it means certain death.
​
And if you think it won’t happen here, you are a damn idiot.
