“Accidentally”

Discrimination against Muslims?

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…

Indeed:

“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.

Where have you been?

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?

Public funding

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.

Like one of Pavlov’s dogs

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?
