SURPRISE--IT IS VERY COMPLICATED!!

Our leader has discovered that the issue of health insurance is kind of complicated and he was very shocked to learn that.  Now, understand, we elected a person who has no clue except he hates it and will find something he defines as "better".  The more than 20 million people covered by the Affordable Care Act are waiting.  Meanwhile, even Conservative Republicans are jumping ship after experiencing some very tough Town Hall questions.

This is what happens when millions of people without insurance need medical care:  They will go to ER's and we (you and I) pay for it anyway since hospitals pass on that expense in the rates they charge insurance companies.  In turn, guess who the insurance companies pass the cost onto?  Me and you.  Health care is complicated but he should have know that but did not.  Worse than pathetic.

ODDS AND ENDS
--He may or may not be anti Semitic (my vote is yup he is--remember the story about the religion he wanted his accountants to be?) but he sets a tone which allows supporters to phone in bomb threats to JCC 's and desecrate Jewish cemeteries.  And he does not issue any kind of forceful response.  Same goes for the Kansan who murdered two engineers from India whilst telling them to go back to their country.  No moral outrage.  The cultural message there is worse than the political one.
--Did you see his press conference on 2/16?  Ok, even if you are a supporter, weren't you reaching for your meds?  Or at least an aspirin?  He did not answer one question and treated those media folks with such disdain.  Know what I think?  That is like red meat to his people--they hate the media too.  He only confirms what they already believe.  Remember those three old codgers I mentioned in an earlier blog? They love it.
--But Kelly Anne did get kicked to the curb a bit and got put on a hiatus from TV.
--And I like Molly McCarthy more than Sean Spicer who is busy checking every ones phone to see if they are the leakers.  Great job if you can get it.
--Cuts to Medicaid reflect that generalized hatred of the poor while the dilution of transgender rights is just another way of saying, we do not like "the other".  Remember the Kansan--he just took it to an extreme.
--His nominee for Israeli ambassador does not believe in the two state solution and spends much rhetoric on blasting progressive Jewish group who support that effort.
--I believe talk of impeachment is just fantasy island--unless things change in the elections of 2018.
--Ugly:  Jerry Sandusky was the Penn State coach sent to jail for sexually abusing children.  His son just got arrested for doing the same thing.
--Ugly Part 2:  There have been 52 allegations of rape perpetrated by athletes at Baylor in the last 3 years.  And that fine Baptist college covered them all up.
--Hooray for LH and her upcoming big event.

SPORTS TALK
Last nights Celtic's game was a very negative revelation of their weaknesses.  When they cannot shoot well, they are in trouble since they also do not rebound well.  And I have begun to think Horford is a very soft player.
