Successful Retirees ‘No Longer Welcomed’ in Connecticut

Tuesday, September 17, 2019

“The fact that public employee unions elect politicians with whom they later negotiate contracts represents an unambiguous conflict of interest that is at the root of Connecticut’s problem,” they write. “Think about it: Would you get bigger raises if you were responsible for your boss’s continued employment?”

Finally someone has realized the corruption of Gooferment Unions electing Gooferment politicians.  It’s a circle jerk of the taxpayers.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: I said … make the FDA an advisory body

Tuesday, September 17, 2019

2019-Sep-17

September 17, 2019

Dear Mr. Reinke,

Thank you for contacting my office regarding prescription drug prices. As your representative in Congress, it is important that I hear your opinions and concerns. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me, and I am pleased to respond to you on this matter.

I strongly believe in making prescription drugs more affordable. Americans pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world, on average three times more for generic drugs than in other similar countries. Vital medication, such as Insulin, costs thousands of dollars a year forcing many Americans to choose between their medication and groceries. I fear that prescription drug prices will continue to be an undue burden for many Americans unless Congress takes action.

I am determined to take action and fight for answers regarding lower prescription drug prices. On March 8th, 2019, I introduced H.R. 1643, the PrEP Assistance Program Act, which establishes a federal program that provides grants for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication. This bill serves as an example for how Congress can make life-saving medication affordable and accessible to all Americans. In addition, I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 1868, the Health Care Affordability Act of 2019, which amends the tax code to improve affordability and reduce your premium costs.

You may be interested to know more about the steps that my colleagues in Congress and I are taking to address high prescription drug prices. On May 16th, 2019, I voted for H.R. 987, the Strengthening Health Care and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs Act, which passed by a vote of 234-183. This bill would ban stalling tactics and pay-for-delay practices by brand name pharmaceutical companies that limit your access to cheap generic drugs. This bill would also establish health insurance exchanges that ensure you will have access to more information about the benefits you are entitled to under your health plan.

In the 116th Congress, we have the opportunity to pass legislation in the House that will benefit our country, so I encourage you to continue to express your concerns and opinions with me and my office. I value your input and participation in our democratic process. You can learn more about my activities in Congress by visiting my website at http://www.watsoncoleman.house.gov, contacting my office at 202-225-5801, and following me on social media. Again, thank you for expressing your thoughts to me.
Sincerely,

Bonnie Watson Coleman

Genetically-modified mosquito apocalypse plan BACKFIRES spectacularly in Brazil

Tuesday, September 17, 2019

The female population, it turns out, opted not to mate with the weaker, genetically-modified mosquitoes anyway, in a phenomenon known as “mating discrimination,” according to Powell and his team.

Some genetically-modified mosquitoes even showed signs of “hybrid vigor” in which the artificially-introduced genetic diversity actually made the mosquitoes stronger and more resilient, with the possibility of increased resistance to insecticides, Powell and his co-authors warned.

Judge Orders Release of Records That Might Tie Saudi Royals to 9/11 – WhoWhatWhy

Monday, September 16, 2019

Earlier, the FBI had declined to release to the Florida Bulldog — a nonprofit news organization which first broke the news about the ruling — key sections from records of the bureau’s probe of a South Florida-based Saudi family that apparently had ties to many of the 9/11 hijackers.

MSNBC’s Jason Johnson Smears Kavanaugh: ‘Fifth Guy in a Gang Rape’

Sunday, September 15, 2019

The sleazy new sexual-assault allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in The New York Times spurred sleazy talk from MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson of TheRoot.com on Sunday’s AM Joy. He called him “the fifth guy in the gang rape.” Jason is so partisan that he flip-flopped on Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) needing to resign for a racist yearbook page he made in medical school.

“Saved by the Militia” – Reason.com

Saturday, September 14, 2019

The characterization of these heroes as members of the militia is not just the opinion of one law professor. It is clearly stated in Federal statutes. Perhaps you will not believe me unless I quote Section 311 of US Code Title 10, entitled, “Militia: composition and classes” in its entirety

Source: “Saved by the Militia” – Reason.com

# – # – # – # – #

And, that’s why ladies and gentlemen, that THAT right “shall not be infringed”.

Imagine how different 9/11 would have been if concealed carry by willing “militia members” was the norm.

“We, The Sheeple” have had their rights abridged upon the phantom promise of safety.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” — Benjamin Franklin

“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

“A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.” — Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois (Ret.) and student, p. 26 Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein

And, I hope the gun grabbers of the 2020 Democratic debates bring a lot of body bags when they come to take the guns.  Better to die fighting then to submit to genocide.

This the Damn Scariest Thing I Have Heard Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Say Yet…

Friday, September 13, 2019

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez …she is calling, with passion, for universal rent control. Notes Ben Steil: Look at the conviction in her eyes, her entire body, as she tells us that “universal rent control” will fix a housing shortage.

Warren Direct Descendant of Militia ‘Indian Fighter’ Who Fought Seminoles

Friday, September 13, 2019

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) great-great-great grandfather Jonathan Crawford served in Major William Lauderdale’s Battalion of Tennessee Volunteer Militia from November 1837 to May 1838, a six month time period during which it fought two battles in Florida against the Seminoles.

It’s sure convenient that Fauxcahontas went from Indian fighter to Indian in time to get the benefits of an “Indian heritage”.  Like a lucrative job at Harvard.  At some point, why isn’t she laughed off the national stage for the imposter she is?

Some people have no shame.

Besides which she’s a loon.  Who listens to a loser like HRC for advice?

Argh!

GOLDBUG: This Gold Rally Is Different For One Critical Reason

Thursday, September 12, 2019

From Birch Gold Group This week, Your News to Know rounds up the latest top stories involving gold and the overall economy. Stories include: Why the gold rally might be different this time, gold could continue to soar if the Fed keeps cutting rates, and gold and silver prices push higher following weak U.S. jobs data.

Source: This Gold Rally Is Different For One Critical Reason

*** begin quote ***

Isbitts believes that this one, however, will be markedly different. In the previous two instances, while the gold market flourished, it also had a safe-haven competitor in the form of government bonds, as the 10-year Treasury’s yields stayed between 4% and 5%.

*** end quote ***

It certainly seems that the Gooferment bonds are no longer competitive in the “safety” dimension. Nor, would they compete on the “ROI” dimension (i.e., gold pays no interest)!

It’s a sad state of affairs the “We, The Sheeple” will find themselves in. Like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and German Weirmar Republic.

Hope everyone is saving nickels since they are the only currently circulating US coin with any intrinsic value.
