Political poetry :

Biden and Bernie are starting to stump

but no one should worry,

neither one can beat Trump.

Fruitless probe....I think the Republicans should investigate Adam Schiff for impersonating Edwin E. Newman of Mad Magazine; Maxine Waters for impersonating Aunt Esther of the Redd Foxx Show; and Dick Durbin for impersonating Mr. Roper on Three's Company. These investigations would be more fruitful than the Mueller probe.

Planes vs. border....Congress pushes for the FAA to ground the Boeing 737 Max for safety reasons. The same Congress opposes the wall which is also a safety concern. Over 100,000 flights a day and two crashes, sounds pretty safe if you want to fly. The border on the other hand sees 75,000 illegal crossing a month. That concerns me more. Oh, I forgot, A.O.C. is going to ground all flights with the new green deal.

School choice....It appears that the majority of the people clamoring against the current charter school plan are the administrators who would suddenly be held accountable. And that's just another reason to support school choice.

Anti-semitism….The Democrat Party is no longer the party of Kennedy or even Clinton. Hatred, violence and opposition has become the policy. They voted recently in the Senate not to support Israel. In the House a member is making slurs against Jews and Israel. She is on the Foreign Policy Committee and will not be removed. No longer, by all that has occurred within the last year, will I with good conscience vote Democrat again.

Healthcare takeover ….How in the world can a Speak Out commenter blame Donald Trump for high healthcare costs? The country is still operating under Obamacare, which is doing exactly what it was designed to do: Destroy the current Healthcare System so the government can take over totally. The depths of stupidity the Democrats have allowed themselves to stoop to in their hatred of Trump is astounding!

    Anti-semitism….politicians will be politicians . "She" is making remarks that sell newspapers . As soon as something new that will sell even more newspapers happens , her words will be as empty as any other politicians .

    Healthcare takeover :

    Blue Cross Blue Shield operator did not pay federal taxes in 2018, got $1.7B refund

    Health Care Service Corp., which operates Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in a handful of states, did not pay any federal taxes in 2018 and received a $1.7 billion tax refund, according to its latest financial report.

    The tax refund boosted the health insurance conglomerate's net profit to $4.1 billion last year, compared to $1.3 billion in 2017, according to Axios, which first reported about Health Care Service's tax refund.

    Axios noted that Health Care Service was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the GOP tax cut and has experienced rising profits from its health plans in the Affordable Care Act marketplace.
