I mean, now folks flying from 10 (Predominantly Muslim) airports are now not permitted to (basically) carry onboard anything larger than a smartphone…

Isn’t this discrimination? Where are the activist Judges? Why aren’t they claiming that this is Unconstitutional (it isn’t, but they don’t know from Constitutional anyway) and discriminatory and causes great harm to someone and all the other arguments they used against the Travel Ban earlier? This is is aimed at predominantly Muslim points of origin and all…

“The biggest problem with the AHCA is it leaves in place the concept that it is the responsibility of the federal government to provide health insurance for Americans who don’t have employer-provided coverage.”

And that, right there, is why I oppose it.

THIS caliber.

According to sources, the military is testing ’em too.

I’m kinda skeptical about the claim of 1200 FT range though.

So the Democrats, in the Sunday Talk shows, have conceded that Obamacare needed some Tweaking….Just not the Tweaks that RyanCare is tweaking…..

My question to them, however, is just where have you been for the past 7.5 or so years?

Why didn’t you tweak it to make it better during any of those those years? Especially the past 4 years?

of Private Enterprises:

I dislike the Federal funding of private enterprises via block grants to states.

I dislike the method of funding Meals on Wheels….which is a really good program.

It gets about 35% of it’s funding via Federal money.

I dislike the same method of funding for Planned Parenthood…..for the same reasons:

These are PRIVATE organizations. The Federal money they get has, effectively, no controls on how it is spent…..

Does Meals on Wheels do good work? Yes.
Does Planned Parenthood? Depends on your view.

Either way, and for the same reasons, I  am glad to see that Trump is trying to cut out this practice.

More is needed. But it is a start.

So I am in line at Menards to purchase some (Ozone killing) spay paint and primer.

2 behind me is a guy in a “Bernie 2016” hat with a “Bernie” button still on his jacket.

I couldn’t resist.

As my turn to pay came up, I looked back at the “Bernie” guy 2 behind me.

Caught his eye and gave him a Thumbs Up.

“Y’know, Bernie was Robbed” I said, casually.

Dude directly behind me rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Guy with the “Bernie” accoutrement started in telling everyone who could hear him on how the system was rigged and the DNC was foul with people who perverted the election process and was still winding up about Trump after I had paid and was on my way to the door.

Damn, these folks are easy.

I wonder who he voted for?

ETA: I found this a few minutes ago:

(HT Common Cents)
(Warning: Video may not be SFW)

So Rachel Maddow and her cohorts at MSNBC revealed Trumps tax returns for 2005 against his wishes (or at leaset without his consent).
Which is a Federal Crime punishable by 5 years in prison and $5000 in fines.
Plus, since they left his Social Security number visible would seem to open up a whole lot more civil damages. President Trump ought a sue ’em for about $250 million and then donate that damage award to a worthy cause…..like Meals on Wheels.

Went to the bank yesterday, got some cash for the gunshow.

Got up this morning, picked up the backpack and drove 2 hours to the Indy 1500.

Where I realized that I had left the envelope with cash back on the desk……

Luckily I did not see any deals that I could not do without.

‘Twas a good gunshow. Less “white”….. lots of black dudes with the kids… Not just white dudes with their kids. (lots more of both, actually) Either they are getting more family oriented or they are just going places where they used to not. Either way, a good thing. The more we get people interested (and participating) in second Amendment issues the better.

Writ LARGE.

So I am in the grocery line checking out yesterday….

Ahead of me is a dude of obvious Chinese descent buying Corn Tortillas, Swiss Cheese, and Corned beef.
I commented on the mix.
He smiled and said the Russians he worked with had given him the recipe for  “Irish Tacos”.

Think on it…….
This is supposed to be how America works.

Not enclaves where they don’t speak English at all.  

Approaching BATF(E) level of incompetence.

One would have thought that the Secret Service might have some standards.

Apparently not.
