As a White House consultant, Jonathan Gruber helped to design ObamaCare and was then caught afterward on this videotape talking about “the stupidity of the American voter.”
GRUBER: “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.” [:52]
Yesterday, Ira Stoll wrote at the New York Sun, “if anyone is ‘stupid’ in this story, it’s not the voters, but the academics who in their hubris designed an Affordable Care Act that became so unpopular that it became a decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat. … A friend of mine reported that while volunteering for the Clinton campaign in Pennsylvania, she encountered one voter who had just gotten off the phone with her health insurance company, ‘battling an astronomical increase in premiums. A cancer survivor, she had lost her favorite doctor when she went onto Obamacare two years earlier. Now her rates were going up.‘ That voter wound up supporting Trump.”

Comments Off on Obamacare: A decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat

Have you ever noticed how the ONLY evidence anyone can cite for the alleged hostility of the Catholic Church to science is the Galileo affair? The RCC has been around for nearly 2,000 years. You’d think if its hostility to science was such a big deal, there’s be more evidence, wouldn’t you?
The fact is that, while the Galileo thing was not a shining moment in my church’s history, it was also not the one-sided affair most people seem to think it was. Galileo himself bears a great deal of the blame. And he was never tortured or thrown into prison either. His punishment for flipping the bird at the pope was house arrest in a country house near Florence. He died peacefully in his own bed. Poor baby.
In fact, until he gave up pure science and became obsessed with converting public opinion and trying to force the Roman Catholic hierarchy to espouse his theological ideas, Galileo was celebrated by leaders of the RCC, including the pope. If he’d stuck with science and left theology to the theologians, he would never have gotten into trouble.
But no … he had to become his century’s version of Al Gore (not that Al Gore was ever in his life an actual scientist). And, given how brutally hostile the scientific community is today toward so-called climate deniers and those who espouse Intelligent Design, I’m thinking the RCC in Galileo’s day had NOTHING on today’s secular scientists.
Plus, it’s not like Galileo was right about everything. He believed, for example, that comets were exhalations of the atmosphere and tides were caused by the rotation of the Earth. Ahem. He also never dropped anything off the Tower of Pisa.
Pope (now Saint) John Paul II felt that the conflict between Galileo and the RCC ought never to have occurred, because faith and science, properly understood, can never be at odds. It’s in the Catechism:

It’s not very often I make a recommendation. This is one of those times. This man made a series of videos before the election. This is his last one, a tribute to all who made an end to the socialist tyranny possible. This is well worth the 3 minutes it takes to watch.
Meet The 7 Veterans Newly Elected To Congress
THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS….BUT PETE WILL
The number of veterans serving in Congress is set to increase in 2017.
There’s no question that the military molds ordinary citizens into incredible leaders, and it appears the rest of the country has begun to recognize that, too.
At least 27 post-9/11 veterans won congressional races on Nov. 8, while the current Congress includes 26 veterans. In addition, at least 18 veteran incumbents won reelection and three senators were not up for reelection this year. There are, however, still handful of races that have run-offs as you can see from this chart drawn up by Military Times.

Oregon official who fined Christian bakery into shutting down loses election
Commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian gained infamy when he fined a Christian bakery with $135,000 for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. Avakian looked to move up in the state government by attempting to run for Secretary of State. His campaign claimed that he would use his office to come down hard on corporations with audits, use his governmental powers to protect the environment, and police workplace pay.
None of these things being what a secretary of state does.
What’s more, Avakian lost to a Republican, former state representative Dennis Richardson. Aside from being a Republican beating a Democrat out of office in Oregon, Richardson will be the first Republican voted into statewide office in 14 years.
Agents Brace for Pre-Trump Border Surge
Border patrol union president predicts career-level supervisors will now resist Obama directives to stem rush
With Donald Trump’s presidency now only a matter of time instead of a hypothetical, border agents are bracing for a surge in illegal immigration at the southwest border as people race to get into the United States before the door shuts.
At the same time, according to the head of the union representing 16,5000 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, career-level managers of the agency are likely to push back against the directives of outgoing political appointees of President Obama.

Good News: Trump will Re-Install Churchill Bust in the Oval Office
In your face, Barack.
In 2009 Barack Obama removed the Churchill bust from the Oval Office.
It was tacky.
Obama replaced the Churchill bust with a photo of himself walking on water.
Mr Farage said: “We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively.”
His comments come after outgoing President Barack Obama told the UK earlier this year that its decision to leave the EU meant it would be at the “back of the queue” for trade talks.
Trump’s plan to bring back coal country places EPA in crosshairs
Over the last eight years of the Obama administration, the EPA “used the legal rubrics of the Clean Air Act really to pursue a low-carbon energy policy and really not to further environmental protection,” she said.
“Carbon dioxide has no adverse impact in the air we breath at all,” Hartnett-White said. “It’s a harmless trace gas that is actually an essential nutrient for plants.”

The two also discussed how to resolve the conflict in Syria and how improve trade relations. They agreed that at the moment, the relationship between the U.S. and Russia was “unsatisfactory.”
The U.S. is “very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia,” Trump told the Russian leader.
Trump Tells ’60 Minutes’: ‘I’m Pro-Life. The Judges Will Be Pro-Life’
“Here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to put– I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life. They’ll very much—” Trump said.
“But what about overturning this law?” Stahl asked.
They’re going to be very pro-2nd Amendment, but having to do with abortion, what it– if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states, so it would go back to the states,” Trump said.
“Then some women won’t be able to get an abortion,” Stahl said.
“No, it’ll go back to the states,” Trump said.
“By state, no, some—” Stahl interjected.
“Well, they’ll perhaps have to go to another state,” Trump said.
“And that’s okay?” Stahl asked.
“Well, we’ll see what happens. It’s got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go,” Trump replied.

The trouble with having severe sleep apnea is that sometimes when you sleep a lot during the day it’s hard to sleep at night. Especially when you have to be up before 1:00 AM 7 days a week to go to work. Thought maybe I’d get your day started with a smile…or a yawn….whatever.
