A Change of Heart

By now you’re all aware of the heinous act of savagery committed against a mentally handicapped white man by four mindless animals that are so common among the urban parasites. Four thugs have been arrested and the excuses have begun about how it isn’t a hate crime, blah, blah, blah. Turns out it wasn’t the first act of unspeakable cruelty by these subhumans. I had a number of links to post but I decided to forego posting anything about them since there’s really nothing new about it. Black on white crime has skyrocketed since Obama gave it his tacit approval. Hopefully it may ebb just a bit when Trump takes office, but, as they say, a leopard doesn’t change it’s spots and violence bred of ignorance and hate feeds upon itself and reproduces more grist for the racial hatred mill at a disturbing rate. Therefore I’m just going to let things be for now. There’s plenty of other news going on.

Obamacare Repeal Budget Resolution Passes Senate With 51 Votes
THANK YOU, HARRY REID
The resolution, which used the reconciliation process to repeal elements of Obamacare with only 51 votes, was introduced Tuesday by Sen. Mike Enzi (R., Wyo.), the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.

Democrats: GOP Wants To ‘Make America Sick Again’ 
This is similar to Alan Grayson’s — Republicans want you to ‘die quickly.’
It back to the old scare tactic of throwing granny off a cliff. This is why Dems lost 1000 seats in the last few elections.

[CtH: By Schumer’s reasoning, my kidneys failed because of Obamacare. So if the Republicans repeal it, I should start to get better!]

Obama to transfer more Gitmo detainees despite Trump’s objection
“There should be no further releases from Gitmo. These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back onto the battlefield,” Trump tweeted Tuesday.

Earnest said Obama would not factor Trump’s tweet into his decision-making on the prison. Trump, he said, would have “an opportunity to implement the policy that he believes will be more effective when he takes office on January 20.”

NYAH, NYAH, NYAH… YOU CAN’T STOP US.

[CtH: It’s so obvious what a Big Fat Lie their “let’s have a smooth transition” is. It feels to me like every time Obama says this, he’s really saying, “Don’t demolish my legacy all at once!”  Loser.]

Obama is going out in a blaze of self-interest
Of all Barack Obama’s costumes, the most ill-fitting is that of the hawk. The guise doesn’t work for all sorts of ideological and historical reasons. Plus there’s the fact that he’s rushing to put on the outfit as he’s heading out the door.

Trump Slams Obamacare, Says Dems Led By ‘Head Clown Chuck Schumer’
IT IS REFRESHING TO HAVE A LEADER WHO KNOWS THAT WHEN DEMOCRATS TALK ABOUT “BIPARTISANSHIP” IT MEANS “ABANDON YOUR PRINCIPLES AND GIVE US EVERYTHING WE WANT”

Trump said Democrats, led by “head clown Chuck Schumer,” understand how bad the law is, but they’re not trying to work and fix it. Instead, all they’re doing is blaming, he added.

[CtH: As an unwilling constituent of Schumer’s, I second Trump’s remark. That inane comment about repealing Obamacare making America sick again was almost as bad as Pelosi’s “we have to pass it to find out what’s in it” statement.]

Maddow: First Question I’d Ask Trump On My Show Is Would He Send Me Or Anyone Else ‘To A Camp’

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Wednesday night that if Donald Trump ever appeared on her nighttime show, she would ask the president-elect if he intends on sending her or anyone else she knows “to a camp.”

YOU GOT TWO CHANCES OF TRUMP GOING ON THAT SOPHISTRY YOU CALL A SHOW… SLIM AND NONE. FAT TOOK THE TRAIN.

Hollywood Moonbat Nancy Sinatra Apologizes To “The Man Who Saved America,” Barack Obama, For The “Unprecedented Racism” He Faced.

YOU HAD ONE HIT RECORD IN ABOUT 1965 AND YOUR DADDY WAS A GANGSTER’S BUDDY. KINDLY PUT ON THESE BOOTS AND WALK ON OFF THE STAGE AND STAY THERE.

[CtH: I would really like to know what standard they use for saying he “saved America.”  We were never in any danger of being invaded and conquered; he’s overseen the worst recession recovery in history; and he’s gotten us into more wars than any previous president.  Did I miss anything?]

Trump hires Omarosa for his White House team
TRUMP IS ASSEMBLING AN ALL-STAR TEAM

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Katie Walsh as deputy to chief of staff Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus). Walsh worked for Priebus at the Republican National Committee and helped with party fundraising.

Rick Dearborn, who used to work on Capitol Hill, is taking over a top job dealing with Congress.

Joe Hagin – who’s worked in three GOP White Houses – is coming on board as deputy chief of staff for operations.

Sanders uses oversized Trump tweet as floor prop

“Let me quote somebody who I suspect I will not often be quoting,” Sanders said while speaking about planned GOP changes to ObamaCare.

“On May 7, 2015, Donald Trump tweeted, ‘I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.'”

[CtH: Earth to Bernie … the changes to Obamacare will not affect Medicare or Medicaid.  Duh.  The changes are about making free market health insurance more affordable by allowing health savings accounts, by removing state line bans (like we have in NY where Blue Cross/Blue Shield has a monopoly and our rates have been sky high for decades), and by allowing people to deduct health insurance premiums from their income tax.  Employers have been allowed to deduct the premiums they pay on employees, but employees could not opt out of their employers’ plans and then deduct premiums.  Nor could the self-employed deduct their premiums!  It’s totally unfair AND it keeps health insurance tied to employment, which was a BIG factor in problems Dems cried about needing O’care for — i.e., insurance gaposis between jobs, with attendant waiting during new job start up periods and pre-existing condition exclusions.  Health insurance should be totally private market, not tied to employment, where employees are forced into a plan that may not suit their needs and where they lose coverage if they get laid off or decide to change jobs, go back to school, move with a spouse to a new area, etc.]

ANOTHER WINNER OF THE GHETTO LOTTERY

Teen Pinned Down At McKinney Pool Party In 2015 Sues Former Officer, City For $5 Million
FIRST, ACT AS CRIMINALLY AS POSSIBLE UNTIL THE POLICE GET INVOLVED. THEN PUSH TO PROVOKE A REACTION. WHEN YOU SUCCEED, MAKE SURE THERE ARE PLENTY OF OBAMAPHONES HUMMING. SUE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY, MAKE MILLIONS. CHA-CHING!

Video of the infamous encounter between Casebolt, who is white, and the then 15-year-old Becton, who is black, brought national attention to McKinney and Craig Ranch, the neighborhood where it happened. In June 2016, Becton’s attorney asked the City of McKinney for $2.5 million to avoid a lawsuit, but the city didn’t take the deal, according to The Dallas Morning News. Later that month, a Collin County grand jury declined to indict Casebolt, who resigned four days after the party.

Clinton Mulling NYC Mayoral Run
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is “talking about” running for New York City mayor, Newsmax reports.
15665543_1358501360836113_1844116812730297433_n(SORRY… ONLY IMAGE WITH HILLARY’S NAME IN IT I HAVE RIGHT NOW)

It has only been 57 days since President-elect Donald Trump defeated Clinton. During the election slog, Clinton, 69, collapsed getting into a Secret Service van, had multiple coughing fits during speeches and seemed to have trouble walking up steps at a rally in Lake Worth, Fla.

“If she ran, she’d win,” a Newsmax source said.

SHE SHOULD… DEMOCRATS OUTNUMBER REPUBLICANS 3-1 IN NEW YORK. THAT’S WHY SHE DECIDED TO RUN OR THE SENATE THERE. IT’S A STACKED DECK.

[CtH: What an attention whore.  RETIRE already.]

Late Night Television

When I first begin my daily foray into the world of the interwebs I always have the television on for background noise. It is very educational to see the wide array of wonderful products that are available thanks to our capitalist system. You can buy a pan that you can melt a plastic cup in and not have it stick (though if you’re serving melted plastic for dinner, don’t bother to invite me), you can cut the bottom out of a boat, replace it with a screen, spray some rubberized gunk on it, and fly through alligator-infested swamps, there is a spray that’s called something like ‘poo-gone’, or something. I mentioned it while the family was over for Christmas dinner — my kids all knew what it was (I raised them right) and today I saw a commercial for a lighted toilet so men wouldn’t miss the bowl if they went without turning on the light. American ingenuity is truly amazing.

Six NAACP protesters arrested after occupying Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office in Alabama
THESE DICKHEADS ARE SO TIRESOME
“Senator Sessions has callously ignored the reality of voter suppression but zealously prosecuted innocent civil rights leaders on trumped-up charges of voter fraud,” Brooks said in a statement ahead of his arrest.
A reporter for Mobile’s Lagniappe newspaper confirmed that arrests were occurring and a livestream from the NAACP showed multiple protesters being put in zip tie handcuffs.

Liberals Panic as Trump Could Flip Left-Leaning Ninth Circuit
Liberals are panicking about the fact that President-elect Donald Trump will be able to fill four vacancies on the historically left-leaning Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals when he takes office later this month.
Outgoing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) called the vacancies a “judicial emergency,” according to Bay Area public radio station KQED, even though there are 29 judges on the court. The “emergency” is that Trump’s nominees might be able to make the court more conservative.

18 Major Scandals in Obama’s ‘Scandal-Free’ Presidency

at-no-time

They’re saying “Obama’s presidency was scandal-free” but that don’t make it so.  Here’s a short list from Breitbart of the many scandals Team Obama would like us to forget:

The great “stimulus” heist: A trillion dollars wasted on economic “stimulus” spending that created virtually zero private-sector jobs.  A great deal of that money apparently vanished into thin air.

Operation Fast and Furious: The Obama administration’s insane program to arm Mexican drug lords resulted in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jamie Zapata, plus hundreds of Mexican citizens.

AG Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress: Holder was the first sitting member of any president’s cabinet to earn this distinction.  Of course, Democrats closed ranks behind Holder, the White House protected him, and the media allowed him to spin the contempt vote as mere “political theater.”

ObamaCare: Everything about ObamaCare is a scandal, from the President’s incessant lies about keeping your old plan if you liked it, to Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s insane statement “We need to pass it to find out what’s in it.”

Spying on journalists: Establishment media came about as close to falling out of love with Barack Obama as ever when his administration was caught spying on journalists.

The IRS scandal: A highly politicized IRS admitted to selectively targeting conservative groups, then brazenly lied about not having backups of relevant computer data.

Benghazi: Libya was a disaster after Obama’s unlawful military operation. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was sent into a known terrorist hot zone without sufficient security. And the Obama administration knowingly told a false story during the first few weeks after the attack.

Hillary Clinton’s secret server: She perpetrated her email offenses while working as Obama’s Secretary of State and he knew about it.

The Pigford scandal: The abuse of a program meant to compensate minority farmers for racial discrimination exploded under Obama.

NSA spying scandal: Snowden’s pilfering of sensitive National Security Agency data was a debacle that damaged national security. President Obama and his administration made many false statements as they tried to contain the political damage.

Bowe Bergdahl:  The prisoner swap that freed him from the Taliban and its allies was riddled with lies, illegal activity, and bad judgment.

Iran nuclear deal and ransom payment: Everything about Obama’s dealings with Iran has been scandalous, beginning with his silence while the Green Revolution was brutally put down by the mullahs in 2009. The Iran nuclear deal was pushed with lies and media manipulation. The infamous pallet of cash that wasn’t a ransom has become symbolic of Obama’s mendacity and penchant for breaking the rules, when he thinks following them is too much trouble.

Polluting the Colorado river: The Environmental Protection Agency managed to turn the Colorado River orange under this greenest of green Presidents. Of course there was a cover-up.

The GSA scandal: The General Services Administration was caught wasting ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money on lavish parties and silly projects.  Of course there was a cover-up.

The VA death-list scandal: Veterans were put on secret death lists while executives handed in phony status reports and signed themselves up for big bonuses.

Solyndra: Billions of taxpayer dollars were wasted financing companies with absurdly unrealistic business models, because the owners had supported Obama’s campaign.

Secret Service gone wild:  Agents hiring hookers in Columbia, a fence jumper penetrating the White House, and tipsy Secret Service officials driving their car into a security barrier.

Shutdown theater:  Obama hit the American people hard during the great government shutdown crisis of 2013, doing everything he could to make American citizens feel maximum pain – from using “Barry-cades” to keep war veterans away from their memorials, to releasing illegal alien criminals from detention centers.

Obamacare Losers

obamacare-cure

Dec. 31, 2016:  One day before the new policy was to take effect, a federal judge issued a court order barring enforcement of an Obama administration policy requiring health insurance policies cover transgender and abortion procedures.

The judge said the plaintiffs were likely to prevail in court, because the rule would “require them to perform and provide insurance coverage for gender transitions and abortions, regardless of their contrary religious beliefs or medical judgment.”

The same judge issued a similar court order in August blocking a separate Obama administration rule requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms of their choice.

Pelosi resorts to epic levels of projection about O’care

2017_01-02-pelosi-projecting

Tweeters snarked:

  • I find that really hard to believe…especially the 2nd part.
  • You just described what Obamacare has done for the last half decade.
  • We’ll just have to repeal the bill to find out what’s in the new one, won’t we?
  • Peoples’ costs already increased, dumbass. Premiums doubled and deductibles doubled.
  • If there’s ever a picture in the dictionary under “projection”, it should be Pelosi’s.
  • Heh. I think we’re already there. Democrats did that all by themselves, pumpkin.
  • Shh! Don’t tell her!
  • This line of attack worked so well for 8 years, Nance … please keep it up. The GOP can always use more seats.
  • PLEASE make Nancy the face of Dem efforts to obstruct the repeal and replacement of Obamacare. Thanks!

The Daily Dish

Today’s task is to cull the articles I’ve bookmarked over the past few days, pick out the ones that are informative, inspirational,thought-provoking and socially significant. After I delete those I’ll have the normal mindless drivel you’ve come to expect from me.

Obama could use 5 minute window to FORCE SCOTUS PICK Garland
Obama has one last chance to force his pick for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, on to the highest court in the land. Obama will have a 5 minute window known as “intersession recess” when he can force the move.
The liberal New Republic believes that Obama should put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court during this intersession recess although they state: “Based on everything we know about Obama’s temperament and politics, he won’t resort to this.”
Most conservatives would say that based on everything we know about Obama’s temperament and politics he is highly likely to resort to this.

IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN HE’LL TRY THIS. HE ACTS LIKE THE SPOILED BRAT WHO DIDN’T GET EVERYTHING HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS SO HE’S SETTING ABOUT BREAKING EVERYBODY ELSE’S STUFF SO THEY CAN’T ENJOY IT.

[CtH: GREAT analogy, Pete.  That’s exactly what he’s acting like!]

Frank Luntz: Obama on a ‘FU Tour,’ Trying to ‘Settle Scores’ With Republicans

Check Out The Jaw-Dropping New Soda Tax in Philadelphia

[CtH:  The new sugary drinks “tax is higher than the one on alcoholic beverages.”  Cuz, yeah, THAT totally makes sense.  I’m so sure sugar is worse for you than alcohol.  NOT.]

YOU WONDER WHY PENNSYLVANIA WENT REPUBLICAN?

Sean Spicer: Trump to ‘Repeal a Lot’ of Obama’s Actions on Day One
In an interview with ABC’s “This Week”, Trump’s incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal a lot of President Barack Obama’s executive actions in his first day in office.
Spicer said that the Trump administration will immediately “repeal a lot of the regulations and actions that have been taken by this administration over the last eight years that have hampered both economic growth and job creation.”

Obama will give a valedictory speech in Chicago in attempt to save ‘Obamacare’ as Republicans plot to repeal it

Obama will travel to the Capitol on Wednesday morning for the meeting with House and Senate Democrats, according to an invitation sent to lawmakers.  The White House is casting it as an effort to unite Democrats behind a plan to protect the law, known as the Affordable Care Act. Obama also plans a major valedictory speech in Chicago, his hometown, shortly before his presidency ends.

[CtH: I had lab work today at the hospital, where CNN was blatting in the waiting room.  The talking heads were hyperventilating about Trump’s eeeeeeeeevil plan to sabotage Obamacare. I sat there wondering if they’d had even the slightest concern back in 2009 about what negative effects it might have or about the totally bogus way the Democrats passed it … in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and without a single Republican vote?  I can’t say for sure, but my guess is they did not.]

Schumer: “Democrats Will Resist Trump’s Picks Vehemently!”
TRANSLATION: WE’RE GOING TO BE THE SAME HATEFUL, DESTRUCTIVE PRICKS WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN
According to the report, Schumer told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he will target Trump’s pick for the head of State, Sen. Jeff Sessions for head of the Justice Department, and two other notable appointees.
Democrats will also target picks for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, Treasury and the Environmental Protection Agency.

[CtH: And the MSM will self-righteously depict every accusation as totally legit, just like they did back when Anita Hill was the Democrat Lying Shill trying to sabotage Clarence Thomas.]

Kucinich: Obama Hung Democrats Out to Dry for Past Eight Years

The Daily Beast‘s Jackie Kucinich said to CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson on Sunday that it would be interesting to see what kind of reception President Obama will receive when he meets congressional Democrats next week, adding that the president has hung his party “out to dry” during his time in the White House.

[CtH: I remember hearing a story some years ago about a meeting of top Democrat leaders in Congress.  Obama was “there” via conference call, but reportedly, as he yammered on and on the way he does, someone (I think it was Pelosi) hit MUTE!  Then the continued their meeting.]

Democrats prepare for early ‘act of cowardice’ with GOP attempt to repeal Obamacare
house_democrats_health_care_92205-jpg-cc64f_c0-169-4047-2528_s885x516
QUOTH THE FOUR-TERM MINORITY LEADER
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, preparing for her fourth straight Congress in the minority — she lost her speakership in 2010, in an anti-Obamacare backlash — now says it’s the GOP that will pay a political price if it moves to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. “You break it, you own it,” the California Democrat said.

Alabama band to march at inauguration, igniting controversy
talladega%20college%20band%20web_1483394841641_15947607_ver1_0GOOD ON THEM
The marching band of Alabama’s oldest private, historically black liberal arts college has accepted an invitation to perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural parade, organizers said.
“After how black people were treated at Trump’s rallies, you’re going to go and shuck and jive down Pennsylvania Avenue? For what?” Seinya SamForay said in an interview. “What they did is a slap in the face to other black universities.”

HOW WERE BLACK PEOPLE TREATED AT TRUMP RALLIES? WITH A HELL OF A LOT MORE RESPECT THAN TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO WERE ROUTINELY ASSAULTED BY YOUR HATEFUL RACIST BRETHREN.

SO MANY Trump Hate Hoaxes By Deranged Liberal Fascists – The Complete Video
The left has made it a sport to fake hate crimes.  And since the historic November election hate hoaxes are a dime a dozen.
There have been at least 17 faked hate crimes NOT committed by Trump supporters since the November election.
What should be noted is that there were 2,000 verified hate crimes against Trump supporters since the election.
So we all know where the real hate, violence and intolerance exist.

The First Family rung in 2017 at their Kailua vacation rental and spent the night before enjoying a luau
Downbeat-looking Sasha and Malia return from Hawaii with their parents after last family vacation on Air Force One.  The Obamas departed Hawaii around 10pm on Sunday and arrived Monday at Andrews Air Force Base.  Obama spent his last day on the island visiting his grandfather’s grave and spending time at the beach.

TRUMP PAID FOR IT WITH HIS OWN MONEY … BIG DIFFERENCE.

[CtH: Actually, the real difference is that Trump made his dough creating jobs, while Obama became a multi-millionaire largely due to sale of his autobiography that he probably didn’t write.  I’m fairly certain the taxpayers never had to pay for Michelle’s wardrobe.  That’s probably not true of her staff’s salaries and benefits, which include a hairdresser and makeup artist.  But the clothes themselves, no.]

[CtH: Wow … Michelle’s dress is truly heinous.  Hillary had a couple of expensive designer outfits during the campaign that were butt ugly too.  What’s with their lack of taste?  Both of them can afford to buy beautiful clothes by designers who know how to make a woman look her best.  So why do they shop with designers whose outfits are ugly and unflattering to their figures?]

Tomorrow would’ve been too late.]

Excerpt from Investors Editorial: Bye-Bye, ObamaCare: Tom Price To Head HHS

Rep. Tom Price, a congressman from Georgia and former physician, was named by Donald Trump to head Health and Human Services. With his political and medical background, he may be the perfect person to reform ObamaCare.

He’s already put forward a workable plan, the Empowering Patients First Act, that would vastly improve our nation’s health care system by repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and replace it with patient-centered provisions that would control costs and expand coverage in the private health insurance markets.

Major elements of Price’s plan have already been put into House Speaker Paul Ryan’s health care proposal. Look for it to move quickly after Trump takes office.

A couple week ago I heard an audio clip on the overnight talk show, Redeye Radio. It was that deranged moron Keith Olberpuke ranting about Trump rounding up all the illegals and putting them in concentration camps. There’s a video at the link, but it’s not on youtube. Here’s the gist of it:

Olbermann: America Is Pretending That Trump Isn’t Going To Build Concentration Camps
SOMETHING TELLS ME WE’RE GOING TO HEAR ‘ELECTED BY A MINORITY’ JUST AS MUCH AS WE HEARD ‘SELECTED, NOT ELECTED’ AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FAILED TO STEAL FLORIDA IN 2000.
He continues: “That man who was elected by a minority says he will immediately incarcerate or deport 2-3 million undocumented Americans — which is roughly the same number of people who live in Houston, TX — which is roughly the same number of people who are already in all of the federal, state, and county jails and all the city jails, and al the ICE detention facilities, and all the Navy brigs, and all the Army stockades combined. Which leaves no inference possible, except that he somehow means to take 2-3 million people off our streets and keep them somewhere until they can be jailed or deported. And we have to pretend that this somewhere… will not involved concentration camps. But don’t worry, he’s unifying the nation!”

Keith Olbermann vows to fight fascism under ‘President-elect P*ssy-grabber’
SOMEBODY CALL THE ASYLUM…OLBERMANN’S ESCAPED AGAIN
Sixty-eight days until his inauguration, still bitching about his paranoid fantasies about the media, still lying about what he said during the campaign, still referring to himself in the third person, still obsessing over one newspaper, as if he were 15 and it refused to go with him to the junior prom,” Olbermann said. “Give him a chance? What, in the hope that he will someday grow up enough to be able to see over the top of the Oval Office desk?”
PROJECT MUCH, THERE, BUTT-BOY??

Mooch And Two Nephews Kick Off Obamas’ Final White House Christmas, Malia And Sasha No Show
IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING (CAN’T IMAGINE WHY) BARRY SKIPPED THE GIG TO… WAIT FOR IT… GO GOLFING!!
“One’s asleep,” she said, gesturing toward the White House. “These two are up,” she added, referring to the sons of her brother, Craig Robinson, who was visiting with his family for Thanksgiving.
Malia and Sasha also skipped their father’s traditional pardon of a Thanksgiving turkey this week; Austin and Aaron subbed for them, too.

Brian Williams: Cubans Would Rather Have Donkey Carts for Transportation
In reaction to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s death, MSNBC’s Brian Williams said the Cuban people would rather use donkey carts as transportation than the American cars from the 1950s that are still in use.
“It’s still one of those nations where you see donkey carts alongside cars, trucks and buses in downtown Havana because that’s exactly what they’d rather have for transportation,” Williams stated Saturday.

Obamacare insurers stiffed again by feds
WELCOME TO OBAMACARE, SUCKERS!!
Insurers are asking for about $5.8 billion from the federal government for 2015 in Obamacare’s risk corridor program, according to an estimate from Brian Blase of the right-leaning think tank Mercatus Center. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said last week that all payments would go toward paying off the money owed the insurers for 2014.
For the 2014 coverage year, insurers requested about $2.8 billion in payments but only received 12 percent of that, or about $362 million. Now insurers are requesting even more for 2015.

Obama faces sharp criticism after offering condolences to Fidel Castro’s family
OBAMA WILL SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE FUNERAL. IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME IF HE WENT HIMSELF
“During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us,” Obama wrote, “pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends.”

Retired Female Marine Breaks Down Why Trump Won The White House
A senior fellow at the London School for Policy Research and a frequent guest on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC discussing national security, veterans, military and economic issues, this Marine finds it “appalling” when “racist” epithets are cavalierly thrown at Trump supporters.
“The average white working class person is not thinking about hating other people. They are thinking about paying their bills, getting the food on the table, getting their kids a decent education and worrying about the next paycheck,” she says.

Infant dies during protest of Baltimore police-involved shooting
WHY THE HELL IS SOMEBODY BRINGING A MONTH-OLD BABY TO A PROTEST? THIS IS BALTIMORE. THERE IS A 100% CHANCE THE MOTHER IS A WELFARE QUEEN. THE CHANCES ARE ALSO HIGH SHE HAS MULTIPLE KIDS, PROBABLY ALL TODDLERS, WHOM SHE LEFT HOME ALONE. THE MEDIA WON’T EVER TELL YOU, BUT THAT’S THE WAY I’M BETTING.
NEXT COMES THE OUTPOURING OF SYMPATHY AND THE DONATIONS FOR THIS POOR DISTRAUGHT MOTHER. MEH.
A 1-month-old girl died Saturday when she stopped breathing during a protest of the second Baltimore police-involved shooting reported in the city in three days, police said.
Witnesses told police that the girl’s mother, who was not identified, was one of about 30 people who gathered on Greenmount Avenue to protest Saturday afternoon in response to a police shooting one day earlier.
She went into the restaurant to feed the infant, witnesses said, and the baby stopped breathing shortly after that.

THE CHICAGO-TENNESSEE GAME IS WITHIN THE HOUR. THE BEARS WILL LIKELY GO DOWN TO INGLORIOUS DEFEAT ONCE AGAIN.

Obamacare: A decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat

As a White House consultant, Jonathan Gruber helped to design ObamaCare and was then caught afterward on this videotape talking about “the stupidity of the American voter.”

GRUBER: “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.” [:52]

Yesterday, Ira Stoll wrote at the New York Sun, “if anyone is ‘stupid’ in this story, it’s not the voters, but the academics who in their hubris designed an Affordable Care Act that became so unpopular that it became a decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat. …  A friend of mine reported that while volunteering for the Clinton campaign in Pennsylvania, she encountered one voter who had just gotten off the phone with her health insurance company, ‘battling an astronomical increase in premiums. A cancer survivor, she had lost her favorite doctor when she went onto Obamacare two years earlier. Now her rates were going up.‘ That voter wound up supporting Trump.”

He Had Me, Then He Lost Me

Mitch McConnell has been described as a turtle. He reminds me of another reptile…a snake.
My memory is not so short that I’ve forgotten the way he treated the Tea Party members who were elected in 2010. How he bragged about destroying them. He’s the ultimate DC insider. He’s almost never stood up to his buddies the democrats when there was a deal to be made and he could get something out of it. Almost never. Then he starts sounding like Trump is helping him find a little courage.
McConnell’s Decision To Block Obama’s SCOTUS Pick Looks Brilliant Right Now
When news broke that Scalia had died unexpectedly Feb. 13, McConnell stunned the White House by almost immediately releasing a statement declaring the Senate would block any Obama nominee to replace him on the bench.
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” McConnell said in a statement less than an hour after the news of Scalia’s death broke. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

THEN I SAW THIS:
McConnell: Oh Yeah, We’re Going To Move To Repeal Obamacare
I’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT
Senate Republicans, flush with victory and defying the odds, have maintained their majority in the upper chamber and vowed to move quickly on repealing Obamacare. Senate Majority Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, “It’s pretty high on our agenda as you know. I would be shocked if we didn’t move forward and keep our commitment to the American people.”

HE’S SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS, BUT THEN THERE’S THIS:
McConnell hints against nuke option to kill Dem filibusters
IF HE ALLOWS THE DEMOCRATS TO FILIBUSTER TRUMP WILL NEVER GET A CONSTITUTIONALIST APPOINTED TO SCOTUS.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS HE WON TUESDAY.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hinted Wednesday that he doesn’t support the controversial idea of changing Senate rules to kill Democratic filibusters, and instead indicated that this move might be seen as an overreach by Republicans.
When Democrats ran the Senate, they changed the rules to allow for simple majority votes for judicial nominees, but not Supreme Court nominees, which can still be filibustered. But despite speculation that Republicans will take this next step, McConnell indicated some resistance to it when asked.
The option of ending filibusters on high court nominees has been raised because Republicans have blocked President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, for months now. As a result, Democrats are expected to block Donald Trump’s nominee once he takes office next year, and some Republicans say another rule change is needed to ensure the nominee can get through.

There is much to do and not much time to get it done. In two years there will be another fight and nobody knows what the landscape will look like. Suffice to say Trump is no weak-kneed moderate pansy.

HADN’T PLANNED ON PUTTING THIS HERE, BUT IT JUST FIT
Trump: The Left Just Lost The War On Climate Change
The Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on this planet. It is a socialist scheme to redistribute wealth and control populations by restricting their access to abundant, affordable energy. Myron Ebell would be an excellent choice for EPA Administrator.
But with a climate skeptic running the most powerful nation in the world, the $1.5 trillion per annum climate change industry is going to start to unravel big time. A Trump presidency is likely to be good news for fossil fuels (and heavy industry that needs cheap energy to survive); and very bad news for renewables.

What does Trump’s victory mean for energy policy? ‘Climate sanity has been restored to the US’
Real estate mogul Donald Trump has won the presidential election, and that likely means the Obama administration’s global warming agenda will be massively scaled back or scrapped altogether.
cdbnxelxeaemvrx_zpskl3npn0tTrump, a Republican, has promised to cut the EPA, scrap the Paris climate treaty and rollback rules holding back U.S. energy production.
Trump’s win comes as United Nations delegates meet in Morocco to discuss how to implement a major global warming agreement hashed out in Paris last year. Trump promised to tear up the agreement, and scrap the main way Obama planned on meeting his climate pledge.

THIS IS WHY I HATED HAVING TO DO AN OUTLINE FOR MY WRITING IN SCHOOL. I COULD NEVER STICK TO THE SCRIPT.
The Nuclear Option: Welcome, Democrats, to the Revolution
Tens of millions of voters cast ballots Tuesday for Hillary Clinton. Except for a relative handful of wealthy and connected people, nobody actually wanted to vote for her.
She is the most corrupt, compromised, dishonest, self-dealing, delusional and unlikeable candidate perhaps to ever run for president.
I used to wonder why President Obama would want to hand his legacy over to such fake and felonious monster. Then I realized that he doesn’t really care about anything but himself and for as long as she is around, people will miss him.
Anyway, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign was about everything and anything and, in the end, nothing.
In the Republican revolution, Mr. Trump gave voice to voters who have been ignored by GOP leaders for decades. He gave them a voice and together they changed the party’s stance on immigration, trade, economics, national security and globalism.
He uprooted and altered the very language the party spoke. The whispered tiptoeing of political correctness was slain.
The same revolution that exploded the Republican Party this year is still boiling inside the Democratic Party. Eventually, it will explode. And the longer it seethes, the more devastating the explosion will be.
