Rep. Nunez Hands Democrats A Win

The Republicans continue to demonstrate why the Democrats consistently kick the GOP around the halls of Congress. Rep. Nunez of the House Intelligence Committee recuses himself from the investigation of the Trump/Russia Connection and Susan Rice leaks of Trump team members. Basically this leaves the committee in the hands of the ranking Democrat, Adam Schiff; a real friend of funding the truth. (Lol) Over and over again the Republicans cave to the ridiculous demands of a drowning Democrat party who would rather take the country down than to observe the "peaceful transition of power" they often espoused before the election of Donald Trump. For my Republican friends who still don't get it; The Democrats are out to destroy you and the President. Fight back or get another job.

Repeal at Last?

Ongoing healthcare talks prove one thing: President Trump will not relent on his promise to repeal ObamaCare and will achieve that goal. The most obvious solution is full repeal, the temporary retention of Medicaid and the withdrawal of the Federal Government from the healthcare business. This is, of course, not possible. However, full repeal should be the first effort. It is something the Republican House and Senate can agree on. They can see through all of the hysteria created by supporters of ObamaCare and know no one will be left to die in the street because they don't have health insurance. Fear is the only defense supporters of the status quo have to defend ObamaCare, which is nothing more than an income guarantee for insurance companies funded by the taxpayers of the United States. Repeal it now.

Republican Redo - The Stupid Party

The Republican Party should rename it self The Stupid Party. After our incendiary election, the Democrat effort to rig and steal the election, the collusion of the media to help the Democrats and the now obvious obstruction by the Democrats in every facet of governing, a small faction the Republican Party, that couldn't see the forest for the trees decided to sabotage their own President, the one they claimed they needed to "get things done." The Republicans proved two things yesterday. They proved they don't understand how ObamaCare is constructed and that the Democrat Party is working in concert with the bureaucracy to destroy any attempt by President Trump to change it. By voting down the package the Freedom Caucus has taken away the ability of the HHS Secretary to alter the regulations to control the health care market. For years the Republicans paraded the pile of 30,000 pages of ObamaCare regulations and said "this is the problem." They were right then and they were wrong yesterday. By forcing the cancellation of the vote the Freedom Caucus stops Secretary Price from de-regulating ObamaCare. The Republican's failure to vote on the bill gives the Democrats new hope that their obstruction techniques are effective and that is why the party should be renamed The Stupid Party.

Milo Yiannopoulos and Donald Trump

Today is one of those days where I hardly know where to start. The assault on the Trump Presidency has become outrageous. I could have hardly imagined the day when the progressive left Democrats would unite with the Soros financed Astro Turf protesters in an attempt to destroy the country because they don't like President Trump. When the Federal Court system would usurp a power enumerated to the President in the Constitution and the supposed free market (Wall Street) would conspire to destroy Twitter, his major weapon against a media that has proven is bias and makes no bones about its lack of fairness and objectivity. But President Trump has a new weapon against his serpentine enemies and his name is Milo Yiannopoulos, a gay, jewish, immigrant from Britain with a Greek heritage. His appearance at Berkeley in San Francisco last week absolutely blew the doors off as paid protesters caused a riot, hundreds of thousands in property damage and injuries to innocent bystanders all in the name of tolerance. One person was arrested as the police stood by and watched with orders to stand down. Milo's book, Dangerous, is giving our politically correct system fits. It is being gobbled up by Millennials and fair-minded people all over the country. It is truly more than the progressive left can stand. I have long predicted the turn around in American politics would happen. That in time the political pendulum would swing the other way. It's happening and the behavior of the unhinged progressive Democrat movement is living proof. Thank you Milo and thank you Donald Trump's America.

Repeal And Replace

To fully appreciate this column you should read the one that precedes it, which is located below. The subject is ObamaCare and the hysteria being created to protect it from reform. The Democrats in Congress, their allies in the press and hundreds of progressive interest groups are trying to paint the Republicans into in-action to preserve what is probably the worst development in medical care since they used leeches to cure infections. "If you repeal ObamaCare, what are you going to replace it with," is the challenge posed by Democrats. In fact, replacing ObmaCare is really a false choice because ObamaCare is primarily regulations written by Health and Human Services (HHS). The Affordable Care Act gives HHS the authority to write the regulations that control how ObamaCare works. And, they have written some 30,000 pages of regulations creating an impossible web for insurance companies, doctors, hospitals and patients to understand. Innumerable mandates, complex regulations and record keeping and murky funding streams are all designed to collapse the system and bring about a single-payer, government run system. The two primary examples of government healthcare you should consider are the Veterans Administration Hospital system and Medicaid. In the column below I explain why most people with ObamaCare will not be affected by its repeal so I don't want to go over it again. What I want to stress is that ObamaCare can be undone by the new Secretary of HHS. Rescinding regulations that govern the content of healthcare plans will free insurance companies to offer stylized plans which will cost less and reduce interference between doctor, patient and insurer. Since 75-percent of ObamaCare users are on Medicare and  Medicaid they will not be affected by repeal or deregulation of the program. The remaining 25 percent will get a better policy at a better price. All of this can be done without repeal, except for the individual mandate, which must be repealed by the Congress. The rest can be done by HHS. Get to work, Gentlemen and Ladies; It's in your hands.

Let's Talk Obamacare

Everybody want's to talk Obamacare; so let's. The Republicans want to repeal and replace and the Democrats want to save its sorry ass. By every measure except the illusion that it provides free healthcare for the "poor" ObamaCare is a total failure. Have a look: There are 300 million people in America and ObamaCare provides  over-rated and over-charged healthcare for 20 million. Of the 20 million, 15 million are medicare and medicaid recipients who would be covered by those programs under the current rules. So in truth we are left with the original 5 million who lost their plans when ObamaCare was passed in 2009. They are still the only paying customers the program has. Almost everybody else in America has an employee-based or government-based healthcare plan. The uninsured not on Medicare or Medicaid still remain uninsured. The mandate has failed despite the penalties and hospital emergency rooms are still full to overflowing. I could throw a whole bunch of stuff in here and make this the kind of discussion supporters of the program would like to use to preserve it, but when you bare away the leaves the simple facts are plain. ObamaCare's limb's are dead because it is a sellout to insurance companies financed by the taxpayers of America. Up Next: Repeal and Replace.

The Russians Are Coming

There can't be a single non-partisan observer that couldn't see this coming. The Democrats laid the plan for the Putin Card (You remember, The Democrat's Dirty Trick deck (see below)) last Spring. All through the Primary campaign and the summer Hillary Clinton, her campaign staff and her lapdog press corps continually connected Donald Trump to Putin. She went as far as to call Trump a Putin puppet in a Presidential Debate. In August the Obama Administration announced the report signed off on by our 17 intelligence agencies that indicated the possibility of Russia trying to effect America's election process. On August 28th I tweeted "The Obama Administration is already preparing for a Trump victory by saying Russians have hacked into some state election systems." On September 15th,  I said "I predicted the Russian/DNC hack connection to Trump by Hilary two weeks ago. Even before the election the Democrats were playing the Putin Card."  On Oct 11th,  I tweeted  "Democrats now consistently playing the Trump-Putin conspiracy gambit because they can't beat @real Donald Trump on the issues."  On October 16th,  I tweeted "Trump will win in 2016 - Democrats will contest based on the Russian fiction created by Obama and Democrats." The point is, as I said earlier, this was entirely predictable.  Another Tweet: "With two weeks to go Obama is already preparing to contest the results if Trump wins by blaming the Russians." So here we are; The Electoral College has confirmed the result of the 2016 Presidential Election and Trump will become President on Jan 20th. But still the Democrat establishment, which includes Obama's Executive Branch agencies including the CIA and FBI, The Democrat party apparatus, and a compliant mainstream media, continues to play the Putin Card in the hope of eroding confidence in Trump and destroying his Presidency before it starts. Let me make another prediction: Time and investigation will show WikiLeaks and the Podesta emails and Hillary herself are what really destroyed her chances in the 2016 Election. The hacking of the Democrat National Committee was done by an insider who gave the emails to WikiLeaks. Podesta gave up his own emails through a "phishing" email that requested he change his password-he fell for it. In the same way Saddam Hussein was said to have nuclear weapons, Putin is said to be the hacker-in-chief who hacked our election system to engineer a Trump victory. An investigation will prove Putin and the Russians had nothing to do with Podesta's emails or the DNC hack, What those emails showed would destroy any candidacy.  I would point out that until Hillary lost the election even Obama said our system couldn't be hacked enough to alter the results since most of our polling places aren't even online or connected to the internet. So there you have it. The Russian Gambit, The Putin Card; call it what you want. One more prediction: Despite their gargantuan effort to destroy the Trump Presidency it will fail.
