The bill that ended the shutdown

and its ban on pre-existing condition (“pre-ex”) exclusions means we don’t have health insurance any more. The ACA mandates that health plans enroll people with pre-existing conditions. That’s not insurance against a risk. That’s third-party financing of a known condition. The law also equalizes premiums for healthy enrollees and unhealthy enrollees. Both must be charged the same, regardless of health status. That’s not insurance either. Skyrocketing costs are the result. Peopl ...

Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama. Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote. "I'm waiting for the Sen ...

That's the one that says unless we have a minority of a minority vote, we cannot bring bills up for vote....even a minority of one. Seems former SOH Dennis Hastert is trying to distance himself from this current debacle some are trying to carry out in his name. Says the Hastert Rule "never really existed" (LOL). It was characterized as a guideline he went by, and specified a simply majority of 218 being the number he worked with during his SOH tenure. He went on to s ...

House Republicans Changed The Rules So A Majority Vote Couldn't Stop The Government Shutdown Posted: 10/13/2013 11:27 pm EDT | Updated: 10/14/2013 12:40 pm EDT In its effort to extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for opening the government, the GOP has faced a fundamental strategic obstacle: They don't have the votes. A majority of the members of the House have gone on record saying that if they were given the oppo ...

Note: During Boehner's statement, he said, "We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem." Obama said they are close. There is NO agreement as of yet. Democrats are still at $33B. The White House is insisting the top number is $73B but that ALSO includes the $43B already cut in the short term budgets to keep the government running. The budget cuts the Democrats want are not cuts at all according to the Republicans. "It's just smoke and mirrors." It looks lik ...

[Or as another GOP Senator who supports shutting down the government, no matter how many people it hurts, puts it: “It’s mostly symbolic,” Sen.

in Austin, Texas shocked his 50 employees by paying their full salaries during a five-month period when the business shut down. Jeff Glover, who has operated the Chick-fil-A for 15 years, wanted to remodel the building to accommodate more customers, but didn’t want to hurt his workers. So he continued paying them for the full five months. The restaurant, which reopened this week at West Braker Lane and U.S. 183, is now the largest Chick-fil-A in Austin–and surely the chicken retailer ...

After gunmen attacked a satirical French newspaper on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Republicans won't back away from a fight over immigration that risks halting funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. "I believe that the president's executive actions with regard to immigration are outside of the Constitution and outside of his powers, and I believe that we can deal with that issue in the Department of Homeland Security bill without jeopard ...

I was channel surfing last night and clicked on to Fox when Bill O'Reilly's show was on. Granted, I haven't seen Bill O'Reilly in some time, but he seemed to look somewhat gaunt and seemed to have less hair. Does anyone know if he's sick? I really don't care for him or his show, but I don't want him to be sick, either. Has anyone else noticed a change in his appearance, or is it just me? Just curious. ...

Something made me actually read my monthly Verizon home phone bill, and I discovered that there's a $14.95 charge for "other providers." Reading further, I discovered it's a charge from "Transaction Clearing." Apparently it's legal for Verizon to include these charges on their monthly bills, so it's a legal scam. There's a phone number for Transaction Clearing, and you shouldn't call Verizon about this. I'm almost afraid to look at my back bi ...

Today he used our money, the "stimulant" package, to buy the Nebraska vote to get it through the senate, just like he used it to buy the Louisiana vote to get it through the house.

passed by the House and the Senate and signed by the president? Did this EVER happen? To my knowledge, not. Where are the Republicans going? Resorting to violence? What a shame! BTW: Bush never vetoed a bill. He signed each one and then added "signing statements," and made his own rules, circumventing the Constitution, claiming wrongly that he could do this since he had the highest executive power. ...

So Eric Holder has done nothing but criticize the AZ immigration bill but admits he has never read the 10-page bill. How can you criticize something when you haven't even read it. How can you give factual information about what is contained in the bill if you haven't read it? Seriously.....what is it with dems? They pushed Obamacare through and most of them...if not all...didn't read the bill. However, the pubs and many citizens who were concerned abo ...

Never heard of this guy before. He sounds like quite a tool. He was listed #77 of "Most Important Talk Radio Hosts" by Talkers magazine in 2012. No big surprise there. Talk show host, Bill Press, doesn’t like the Star-Spangled Banner. Imagine: a liberal talk show that’s not on NPR! His radio show is simulcast on Current TV. Bill Press likes provoking conservatives, but I’m not sure we should be provoked by his outburst against the National Ant ...

This healthcare bill only has a few good things in it, but it was passed so it can insure 30 million people in america that don't have health insurance. there are 300 million people in the united states. The healthcare bill is not about health care or insurance at all, it's about making the government more powerful. Now they can tax our behavior. It's about expansion of government. Exerting behavioral control over american people. Th ...

Mistake in gun bill could defeat the effort One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake. Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around? As Orwellian as that sounds, it isn’t hypothetical. The notion of police home inspections was introduced in a bill last week in Olympia. That it’s pa ...

could now be in even greater jeopardy of being arrested and imprisoned indefinitely, with no right to a trial? Pretty scary. And note, this is neither a Repub or a Dem issue, this is an issue that goes against the Constitution. Apparently at the last minute, it's being realized that language was taken out of the original bill, clarifying that US Citizens could not just be swept off the streets and imprisoned without due justice and a trial. Now the ABSENCE of that pa ...

The way Bill Maher sees it, resistance to ObamaCare is all God's fault. Why? Because so many people believe in this "schmuck" who lives in the clouds...and this belief, in turn, intensifies opposition to ObamaCare.
