Re: FBI REOPENS HILLARY INVESTIGATION

A quote from Jonah Goldberg of NR that I very much agree with.... But in all of the arguments and counter-arguments about whether Comey is right or wrong, principled or cynical, something important is lost in the conversation: This is all Hillary Clinton’s fault. She did this. She and her husband ha...

Re: Figuring Out Religion

Did you notice the word Christian? Not in the quote from John Adams which was what I was commenting on. (And I did read the article, BTW. I generally always do before making a comment). I'm further guessing you are voting for Hillary? The democratic party play book seems to say to always take thing...

Re: Figuring Out Religion

John Adams famously wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” We seem to be hell-bent on testing his prescience. Given that American participation in organized religion has been steadily declining, the importati...

Re: Sophie--did you see the medicare reimbursement changes?

From the article.... The ultimate — and undeniably laudable — goal of the legislation is to base physician payments on the value of the care patients receive, rather than the volume of services provided. I can see how they could quantify "volume of services provided", but how in the heck d...

Re: Massive Internet Attack Strikes America

Reminds me of the massive internet outage we had at work a few months before they laid me off. All the network folks were saying it was a Denial Of Service attack that we weren't properly prepared for. It turned out that somebody entered the wrong command to switch out a router.

Re: Feds Warn Us That Evidence Of Election Fraud Could Be Russian Fraud

When Hillary said in the last debate that 17 different intelligence agencies had confirmed that the Russians were responsible for something on the internet (I forget what it was - the Wikileaks hacks?) why didn't somebody ask her to name the 17 agencies? And if she could, a perfect follow up would h...

You're lucky. I'm not eligible for Medicaid OR ObamaCare because I'm eligible for Medicare. The ObamaCare MAGI expansion (no asset test) doesn't apply if you're eligible for any other forms of health insurance. I've been trying for awhile to find a way around it, but just cannot find a loophole in ...
