Great Britain has nationalized health care. The government pays for any and all health care that British citizens are permitted to receive.
And, because he who has the gold makes the rules,the British government is in charge of decidingwhat, when, where, why, how, and whetherany citizen gets any particular service.
Charlie Gard is a British citizen. British doctors want to turn off his life support. A British court has ruled they can do this despite his parents’ wishes.
Last week, the European Court of Human Rights ruled against his parents’ appeal to take him to the U.S.
His parents raised £1.3 million on a crowdfunding site for his care. The British courts said that didn’t matter. British citizens are not allowed to have privately funded health care, because that wouldn’t be FAIR.
The Vatican hospital has invited Charlie to come to Rome for care. The British courts have ruled that for “legal reasons”, the baby cannot be allowed to leave the country.
World leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump and Pope Francis have offered their support for British infant Charlie Gard, but his own prime minister, Theresa May, declined to intervene on his behalf.
Until President Trump tweeted about Charlie’s plight, the major networks refused to report his story.
Supporters who run two prominent social media pages for Charlie say they are being censored by Facebook and Twitter. Messages are being marked as spam and the hashtag #SaveCharlieGard has been suspended.
During the Obama years we were represented by a Muslim who constantly denigrated our way of life and seemed embarrassed to have to speak for the nation of racists he had taken command of. The media fawned over the guy; the other real dictators in the world knew he was a worthless chump who could be taken for billions of taxpayer dollars. There was nothing we could do but cringe as this hapless clown made a fool of himself spouting empty words that nobody believed.
What a difference a year makes. President Trump and his stunning First Lady made a stop in Poland this morning on the way to Germany, fast becoming Muslim Merryland, thanks to Angela Merkel. The media sneered, still suffering butthurt from having outed a 15-year-old who made a video they didn’t like and having it blow up in their faces. As I watched it live this morning (about 4:00 a.m.), I thought about how fortunate we are, in this time when the murderous munchkin in North Korea is threatening a nuclear strike, that we have a leader with the balls to face him with the power to annihilate the country in a matter of minutes.
There are a few salient points he made in his speech, which I have tried to condense her, without much luck. As always, I try to make the best use of your time by being brief.
Trump calls Poland exemplary ally against Russian ‘destabilizing behavior’
“We’ve discussed our mutual commitment to safeguarding the values at the heart of our alliance: freedom, sovereignty and the rule of law,” he said in a joint press conference after meeting Polish President Andrzej Duda. “We are working with Poland in response to Russia’s actions and destabilizing behavior. And we are grateful for the example Poland has set … by being one of the few nations that actually meets its (NATO’s) financial obligations.”
The president said he has a range of options on how to deal with North Korean President Kim Jong Un but would rather not make them public.
“But I have some pretty severe things that we’re thinking about,” Trump said during a joint press conference Thursday with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

Trump swipes at EU: USA has made ‘most terrible’ deals in history & warns ‘IT WILL CHANGE’
He said: “We look forward to making the economic ties between United States and Poland stronger through our trading relationship – a balanced and reciprocal one.
“We want a reciprocal relationship. we don’t have too many of them.
“I have said before, the US has made some of the worst trade deals ever in history.
Trump Renews Pledges in Warsaw After Obama’s Broken Promises to Prague
Trump’s affirmation of U.S. ties to the young democracies of Eastern Europe aims to restore relationships damaged by President Barack Obama, who spoke to the Czech people in Prague in 2009, only to turn his back on them — and on Poland — by abandoning missile defense later that year.
It is important to remember just how profound President Obama’s betrayal was. He promised the people of Prague:
So let me be clear: Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, but to Iran’s neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven.
Obama did exactly the reverse of what he said he would do: he abandoned missile defense in Europe long before he reached a deal with Iran. That decision set the stage for an Iran deal that was considerably weaker than promised.
Worse, Obama informed the Czech prime minister of his decision on missile defense after midnight, and told the Polish prime minister on September 17, 2009, which was the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland.
Trump in Poland: ‘The West Will Never, Ever be Broken’
“Just as Poland cannot be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken,” Trump said. “Our values will prevail, our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph.”
“In the Polish people, we see the soul of Europe — your nation is great because your spirit is great and your spirit is strong,” Trump said, calling Poland the “geographic heart of Europe.”

President Trump Salutes People of Poland: “One Million Poles Sang Three Simple Words ‘We Want God!’”
And when the day came on June 2nd, 1979, and 1 million Poles gathered around victory square for their very first mass with their Polish pope, that day every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system which soon come crashing down. (Applause) They must have known it at the exact moment during Pope John Paul II’s sermon when a million Polish men, women, and children, suddenly raised their voices in the single prayer. A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, 1 million Poles saying three simple words: ‘We want God.’”
HAH! Poles SHUT DOWN NBC Hack After She Tries to Sneak in Third Question
When NBC White House Correspondent Hallie Jackson tried to pin President Trump down on the reported Russian hacks during the election, he wouldn’t bite. She tried to slip in a third question on Obama, so the Poles stepped in:
“Dear Lady… it was two questions. Thank you very much. “
And with that President Trump and President Duda left the stage.
Some guy made a GIF showing Trump wrestling with CNN and posted it on Reddit.
CNN got their tender, thin-skinned panties in a bunch, tracked the guy down, and forced him to publish an apology!
Notice how they say “Exclusive”, like they’re PROUD of the fact that their multi-billion dollar conglomerate targeted a private citizen for posting a funny piece of political satire on the internet.
CNN also threatened to dox* the offender if he should ever step one toe out of line again.
*dox (däks) search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.
IOW, “We accept your apologies but reserve the right to completely ruin your life.”
And the media wonders why we hate them.
Hey CNN, did you check with your legal department before you threatened to dox this guy? Ummmmmm … that would be a no.
Ted Cruz posted the following in a series of tweets:
Troubling. I assume CNN’s lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker’s IP, it’s a GA crime if they threatened to “Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule.”
Another relevant crim law: NY § 135.60: “A person is guilty of coercion in the second degree when he…induces a person to abstain from engaging in conduct in which he…has a legal right to engage…by means of instilling…a fear…the actor will expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject some person to hatred, contempt or ridicule.”
Plus, the guy CNN targeted was apparently not the person who originated the content. According to an investigation by BuzzFeed, the original piece was a YouTube video with audio. The guy CNN targeted turned part of it into a GIF.
Even worse, it seems that CNN knew the GIF wasn’t the original, but they couldn’t find whoever made the YouTube video, so they stomped their big old jackboot down on the neck of the GIF maker.
CNN used to be about journalism. Now it’s just a fascist organization publishing left-wing agitprop.*
*agitprop: political (originally communist) propaganda.
Backing up my computer is so booooooooooooooooooring. Hope y’all had a good 4th!We had superb weather and a relaxing day. The kids called and sent pics of their kids. What else do two old farts like us need? NOTHING. 🙂
OBAMA // When Donald Trump won the election last fall, many people wondered if Obama would be as courteous as his predecessor George W. Bush. Would Obama be able to fade into the background and stay out of policy debates? Now we know the answer is no. The spotlight is simply too alluring for Obama, who revels in attention. http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/07/obama-is-trying-to-undermine-trump/
CHARLIE GARD //President Trump tweets support for very sick baby Charlie Gard. “If we can help little Charlie Gard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump said. The parents have raised $1.8 million to bring him to the United States, but British courts refuse to allow the move and have ordered him taken off life support. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-tweets-support-terminally-sick-baby-charlie-gard-n779271?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_nn
In case you haven’t heard yet,CNN,the ‘most trusted name in news’ was so incensed by the trump bodyslam video they found the Reddit user claiming responsibility for it and threatened to out him if he didn’t apologize.It took less than 24 hours.Consider:they’ve searched desperately for 8 months for any kind of evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia…nothing.Still,Obama hack Robert Meuller has assembled an all star team of political assassins to find anything to charge him with.

How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
The apology came after CNN’s KFile identified the man behind “HanA**holeSolo.” Using identifying information that “HanA**holeSolo” posted on Reddit, KFile was able to determine key biographical details, to find the man’s name using a Facebook search and ultimately corroborate details he had made available on Reddit.

CNN Blackmails Source of Donald Trump Wrestling Video
CNN is not publishing “HanA**holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
