Hello My Dear Friends! Sometimes I hear people speak and I can't help but wonder when their tether to reality slipped away. I just pray that said tether is not out of reach, Please consider the following:
President Obama boldly proclaimed that his signature healthcare law: “is working exactly as it's supposed to.” Really? Ever since the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) became law, a panoply of problems have plagued it, the most pernicious of which is fraud. Obamacare requires verification of applicant data for federal subsidies. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is in charge of that. But, a report from Government Accountability Office (GAO) in February found that, “CMS does not track or analyze aggregate outcomes of queries.” That means that, just because the information you supplied was false, you still get approved! The GAO found that in 2014, 431,000 applications with $1.7 billion in subsidies had unresolved inconsistencies. CMS failed to resolve Social Security number inconsistencies for about 35,000 applications totaling $154 million in subsidies and incarceration inconsistencies (that would be prisoners) for about 22,000 applications worth $68 million. So the GAO ran a “secret shopper” investigation to test whether the system was able to detect and prevent falsified applications from being accepted. Out of the 12 fictitious identities that applied for taxpayer subsidies, 11 were approved. That’s a 91% failure rate. Is the Government aware of the problem? Well....
A December 2015 report from the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that CMS could not verify whether advance premium tax credit payments were only going to those who had actually paid their premiums.
A September 2015 report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) said that Obamacare exchanges were unable to send accurate tax data to the IRS.
An August 2015 HHS OIG report discovered that the Obamacare website, Healthcare.gov, failed to verify the citizenship of new enrollees.
An HHS OIG report on June 16, 2015 found that at least $2.8 billion worth of Obamacare subsides were paid out without any verification at all. Who knew that was “exactly the way it was supposed to work”! Grab the rope Mr. President, reality may not be out of reach!
A black student at San Francisco State University accosted a white student because he had dreadlocks. The aggressor, Bonita Tindle, accused the other student, Cory Goldstein, of "cultural appropriation". She actually put hands on him while attempting to "educate him". Tindle claimed that dreadlocks were her culture, not his, and he had no right to wear them. Now, let's assume that no one knows that dreadlocks actually trace back to ancient Greece, and not just Ms. Tindle. Let's also assume that hairstyles are actually cultural. Does this mean that every African American that straightens and colors their hair is a racist? Of course not. It means that Ms. Tindle is nuts and should be treated as such. Grab the rope Bonita, if it's not already out of reach.

One more...At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee yesterday, outside of a Donald Trump town hall meeting, there was a group of protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement. The leader of the protest stood on the American flag and said (I am quoting here) "F*uck this flag, f*uck this Country, this red, white and blue sh*t is the new swastika". What can I say. That ship as sailed and there isn't a tether long enough to pull that guy back. Oh this new generation! The future is just so bright! I can not wait until they're the ones running the show!
