GOP Senate Plans Vote to Outsource College Graduate America | Breitbart

Thursday, September 19, 2019

The backdoor is the uncapped and huge “Optional Practical Training” program.

In 2017, 530,000 foreign graduates held one-year work permits via the OPT and the affiliated “CPT” programs. Almost 90,000 of those workers also held a 24-month extension because they won technology-intensive degrees at American colleges. Many of the foreigners register at low-status colleges so they can get a second or even a third OPT work permit.

There is no cap on the OPT program, so any and every foreign third-level student or graduate can get a work permit via the OPT program.

Successful Retirees ‘No Longer Welcomed’ in Connecticut

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.

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.

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.

More Americans Questioning Official 9/11 Story As New Evidence Contradicts Official Narrative, by Whitney Webb – The Unz Review

It was not until nearly two months after its collapse that reports revealed that the CIA had a “secret office” in WTC 7 and that, after the building’s destruction, “a special CIA team scoured the rubble in search of secret documents and intelligence reports stored in the station, either on paper or in computers.” WTC 7 also housed offices for the Department of Defense, the Secret Service, the New York Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and the bank Salomon Brothers.

Parkland Father Uncovers What Media Failed To Look For

Perhaps more terrifying is that rather than address any of this, politicians have latched onto blaming the firearm for the crime rather than the series of governmental failures that made his atrocities possible. On that same day, millions upon millions of other AR-15s were used for no unlawful purposes, yet it became the boogieman rather than the failures that put that killer in that school.

He concluded that “diplomatic and intelligence personnel of Saudi Arabia knowingly provided material support to the two hijackers and facilitated the 9/11 plot.” Yet he and his team were not allowed to interview them, according to the suit.

What Polio Vaccine Injury Looks Like – LewRockwell

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

When touting the merits of vaccination, public health officials often brag about the campaign to eradicate polio. What they rarely if ever disclose, however, is that both the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) developed by Jonas Salk and the live-virus oral polio vaccine (OPV)—developed first by Polish scientist Hilary Koprowski and later by Albert Sabin—frequently have caused the very condition they were supposed to prevent.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer or a vaxxer.  I am in favor of open and honest facts.

If we knew what was in there, then we could have an intelligent conversation about the risk and rewards.

That will never happed as the Gooferment treats “We, The Sheeple” like we’re their “livestock” on their “farm”.

After the university heard about his shirt the campus store shared an image of his design as a piece of official merchandise, writing: ‘Share in a Florida elementary student’s Volunteer pride by wearing his design on your shirt too!’ They followed up confirming sales of the t-shirt had crashed their site, adding: ‘Thank you Vol Nation! Currently, our website has crashed due to the overwhelming support! We are working on the problem. Once the server restarts, we anticipate the issue to be resolved.’ The school also sent the schoolboy a package full of merchandise.

LIBERTARIAN: Milton Freedman — a libertarian?

FROM A FACEBOOK FELLOW ALUM:

*** begin quote ***

Robert Kuhn
Yesterday at 10:10 AM ·

Posting this for my friend and co-alum, FJohn Reinke. He knows more about this stuff than I do. I was surprised, and somewhat enlightened, by the content of this, as my opinion of economists has taken a sharp detour “south” (figuratively speaking) in recent years.

Another interesting sidelight based on the time line (if I am recollecting correctly): I believe my Dad studied Economics at Georgetown for a semester; possibly connected to his peripatetic NROTC existence. I will have to check with my Uncle Gene for verification (or the opposite) …

*** end quote ***

MY RESPONSE:

*** begin quote ***

As a fat old white guy injineer, I’m not an ekkynonomist by any means. This 7 minute clip is just full of “barbara streisand”. I’ll refer it to those more learned than I Tom Woods & The Tom Woods Show Elite for a laundry list of specifics.

I would point out that Milton Freedman may have started as libertarian with his position on the gold standard, but he turned to the dark side with his creation of “tax witholding” in my mind. He also is a champion of the Fed as the nation’s money manager. Clearly wrong.

I also almost spit out my coffee when the woman said that foreigners seek the “stable American dollar”. In case she hasn’t noticed, the dollar has lost 99% of its purchasing power while I’ve been alive. 2% inflation over 40 years has reduced the dollar to near zero in purchasing power. Think “penny candy”.

As one would expect from a Gooferment supported media outlet, it would seem that they are in a different world than we are. Leaving the Gold Standard for the Fed-standard, has allowed the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats an unlimited checkbook to borrow and spend. Must to the detriment of “We, The Sheeple”!

*** end quote ***

He is often quoted in anti-Government memes like “If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.” and “Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government program.” and was for a free market economy in general.

However he did support the role of the FED in monetary policy.  Clearly not very “libertarian”.

Sigh!

Pinkerton – AOC to Small States: Drop Dead (And What Small States Can Do to Stay Alive) | Breitbart

Friday, September 6, 2019

Perhaps even more importantly, it’s also worth emphasizing that the Electoral College was central to our constitutional founding; it was the brilliant political compromise that enabled the forming of a robust union in the first place.  You see, back in 1787, the small states, such as Delaware and Vermont, insisted on the College as the price for ratifying the Constitution and joining the union.  To put that another way, if it were not for the Electoral College, there might never have been a United States.  (As an aside, today, both Delaware and Vermont are strongly Democrat.)

Texas Governor Upset Over Lack Of Background Check For Odessa Killer

If it is true, and that may be a big if, then possibly it may need to be addressed.

Perhaps, all gun sales must be done or “mediated” by a licensed firearm dealer?

Perhaps, it’s such a rarity that it’s not worth the effort.

I saw that in Virginia, when someone fails a background check, the State police are called and interview the person.  In the case, I witnessed the person was a felon and was arrested on the spot.

Perhaps, reinforcing the existing response to a “disqualification” might suffice.

Fauxcahontas to Utility Companies Using Carbon-Based Fuel: ‘2035, You’re Done’

Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in calling for the public ownership of utilities during CNN’s climate change town hall Wednesday evening, but she said she will tell utility companies that use carbon-based fuel that they are “done” by 2035.“Bernie Sanders has endorsed the idea of the public ownership of utilities, arguing that we can’t adequately solve this crisis without removing the profit motive from the distribution of essential needs like energy,” an attendee said.
