Today will be a big day for healthcare.
The Senate will release its plan. Let’s see if we can predict what the reaction will be. Republicans want you to die, this plan will kill people. Your premiums will go up, they will leave people by the side of the road. You know what it will be, but the problem is Obamacare is falling apart.
Insurers are leaving, premiums are truly skyrocketing and the system will collapse without a major overhaul. Instead of just more noise wouldn’t it be nice if the MSM provided a true picture and both parties tried being part of the solution?
Let’s see the plan and hope it can help, but we always come back to how you insure anyone at anytime they want and 30 million for free without driving up costs.
A Terrorist Act In Flint MI:
Surprising in that this was a Canadian citizen who came across the border. Not surprising that terrorist acts occur, just surprising there haven’t been more. Someday we’ll hear stories of the great work our intelligence agencies have done.
BTW, the Russians yesterday again said they cannot verify they got the ISIS leader.
In the Did You Hear this on the MSM category:
“House Democrats are continuing to block testimony from about a dozen witnesses who sought to appear before the intelligence oversight panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Congressional officials said one of the key witnesses, former informal adviser to the Trump campaign Carter Page, was scheduled to testify at a closed hearing of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
But Democrats on the committee blocked the testimony, asserting they needed more time to prepare”.
More time? Nine months, no evidence, lots of charges and innuendo at the President and you need more time?
The MSM and Democrats may be running head first into a backlash by an increasing number of people who are seeing the whole Russian thing as a partisan witch hunt.
Funny election advice:
Following two more losses in special congressional elections the MSM and Democratic advisors were thinking of taking a new tact. Know what they are thinking? Do less in these elections. They now think they are making a big enough deal to drive their opposition people out to vote. So if they just have the election they think they can win. They used the closer, no coverage election Tuesday in SC which was narrower than the Georgia race. It wasn’t supposed to be. So a new strategy.
Maybe you can try having some policies that people like and stop running on the Russians.
Speaking of which:
A high-ranking former Obama administration official served up some major news yesterday. Jeh Johnson, who served as Obama’s homeland security secretary from 2013 to 2017, had harsh words for the DNC at a House Intelligence Committee hearing Wednesday.
He said the Democratic National Committee refused to accept help from the Department of Homeland Security, even after its email systems were hacked.
“Hindsight is 20/20,” Johnson said at one point in the hearing. “In retrospect, it would be easy for me to say that I should have bought a sleeping bag and camped out in front of the DNC in late summer.”
Makes you wonder what they were hiding doesn’t it? Yup the Russians did it.
