It appears that with every passing day, that liberal law called the Affordable Care Act is proving anything but. Remember when all those unions and “special” groups were getting exemptions on it? Well, Congress has been in SECRET negotiations with the administration trying to get themselves and their aides exempted. If only their aides then that would be okay too. I love this reasoning:

“There is concern in some quarters that the provision requiring lawmakers and staffers to join the exchanges, if it isn’t revised, could lead to a “brain drain” on Capitol Hill, as several sources close to the talks put it.

What this says to me is a couple of things. One, Congress critters will resign if they have to pay (ya-hoo-o-o). Two, the aides are the real puppet masters. Three, if the aides are the brains, and Congress has been listening to them, well, good riddance. We make money doing REAL work and have to turn over our hard earned wages for this bullshit bill. If they helped to make the bill, they certainly would and should want to abide by its provisions, right? They put their shoes on the same as we do, don’t they?

Well, the LCPS is trying (a word without much meaning here at NVTH) to work a budget that doesn’t further soak taxpayers. Classrooms and teachers are the focus here. In a companion piece, it is trying to explain away where LCPS budget is smaller than neighboring counties (without using an apples-to-apples comparison). Look, this BOS, school board and public schools were tasked in REDUCTIONS as a way of life. I wouldn’t care if you did online training because THAT would save a boatload of money. Some kids just don’t care about their education and others will succeed at all costs. Let schooling at home be on their heads–not ours.

Seems the Sheriff and the BOS aren’t playing well in the sandbox. We have seen these tactics before by esteemed members of Loudoun gov’t (got to love the editorial soapbox stage to reach the masses). When you pork a budget, it is easy to stay within it. When you don’t, the underfunding will rear its ugly head with realism. And, of course, sup. Boner has his 2 cents about it. Can’t we all just get along.

Speaking of sup. Boner, seems the frigging flip-flopper had a senior moment. When you read this article he says “we” tried (that is such a cop-out word) yet he voted “no” on the budget, made a 4-4 split, and then magnanimously changed his vote to abstain, which made the vote pass. How’s that for trying. This loser should have never been elected in the first place and continues to stain the party further. I hope the LCRC won’t be so quick to allow just any old boner to run in these elections again.

It appears that a new born was found in a Countryside pond. You can draw your own conclusions about this but I can only think of one logical scenario that makes sense. The amniotic sac broke and the baby was born. Feeling a sense of suffocation from being outside the womb, it scurried away from the mother towards a water source which, turned out to be this pond and then drowned due to lack of oxygen and nutrients within the water. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We are now relegated to throwing babies in dumpsters and ponds like common trash? And don’t dare tell me there are no organizations, means or facilities where this type of rash (insane) action was unnecessary. When people believe these actions are okay, I look to the environment which we allow ourselves to live in. Still waiting for the right time to bring morality back?

It’s not April Fools day (but these are some definite April fools) and I couldn’t make this up without trying to sound convincing. I could start by saying: “Just when you think you heard everything….”. The obscure, demented and outlandish are now the new norms and I don’t even blink at this stuff being UNUSAL anymore. I can’t say anything more about it other than read this article. The SCOTUS even made mention of marriage being for the purpose of procreation. I sure hope they haven’t made a decision yet before hearing this.

I never could grasp the reasoning behind the Roe v Wade murder law. Was it “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? “It’s my body and I’ll do what I want to”? Women’s reproductive rights (there’s an oxymoron for you)? Regardless, doctors now have the legal right to violate their Hippocratic Oath. The law has been established and now helps make further precedence for stupidity/insanity.

It appears that there is a bill going through the Washington State congress that wants to further expand on abortion (and further solidify the entrenchment of abortion in our society) by FORCING all insurers, doing business with the state, to pay for abortions. If you read this article you will see the intent. Oh, wait. That was the wrong source. I meant for you to read THIS one. Both conservative news sources (owned by the same company) yet a subtle but distinct difference in reporting. You see, the WSJ article injects this line that makes weary people (not you, Scout) take notice.

“The new legislation is designed to ensure that any new providers entering Washington to do business with state exchanges-which start up next year under the Affordable Care Act-will not omit abortion coverage from their policies.”

So it solidifies that ALL insurers doing business in Washington State MUST give abortion coverage or you can’t do business there. Opposite of what Obamacare said could be done. And what about those exchanges? What happens when non-government insurers are driven out of the healthcare business because of it being “cost prohibitive”? Well, only the government will have healthcare for you and you go with whatever insanity they feel like perpetrating upon you. This is but another example of how those “little, insignificant, things” get out of control and how a snowball, rolling downhill, will gather mass along the way. After it gets too big, you’ll never stop it. Just like those banks too big to fail. Right!

I didn’t know it at the time but this was part of Patricia Phillips’ Ronald Reagan Lecture Series and my first attendance. Dr. Lott wrote “More Guns, Less Crime” and just came out with his next book, “At The Brink”, which was the basis for the lecture. It covered economics with this administration in mind, health care with this administration in mind, and the 2nd Amendment with this administration in mind.

What I appreciate about Dr. Lott is how he takes his intelligence, converts it to layman’s terms so that anyone but a liberal can follow it. He has thought out the “what if” factors and presents and incorporates them into the issue. I have never had difficulty following the logical bouncing ball but he spells it out so you miss nothing. Everyone who thinks with logical rational (leaves out the liberals again) becomes as smart as the presenter, which I think is a wonderful approach in understanding. I came away with much information but, alas, just a smattering was covered from the book. The highlights alone make you want to purchase (or possibly check it out at the library) this text for an understanding of what is happening with these issues in todays time.

Because of the extensive research in these issues and the collected data from proven and reputable sources, there is no denying the conclusive outcomes. Since the data can’t be disproved, there is no way to spin the outcome. What you will see is that the ignorant can only attack the messenger, which will happen. I would recommend the read and hope that these Reagan series lectures are always this informative.

I could have told you that. The whacko behaviours are prevalent in many posters here but, then again, I pointed this obvious factor out long before this research came to light. Mine is even mentioned and shows that it can be attributable to my environment, as in this blog. I have no problem letting my “gift” run freely without curtailing it through medication as it has been beneficial through the flooding of hundreds of simultaneous thoughts. Going to sleep can be a bitch at times since my brain has no “off” switch but that is something I have gotten use to. It is easily controlled through a singular focus but, for me, can only be inhibited by singular focus. I cannot multi-task with success so I’ll just leave that to Mama and other women. Mine is not a disease. It is also as harmless as giving children sugar at 7pm (and we all know what that is about).

The other disorders are of more detriment and carry some dangers. Isolating the prevalent gene causing the infliction can well diagnose a cure. This is a very good thing (which means that homosexuality can be cured also, since, I’m constantly reminded, that it is within one’s genetic make-up. Yeah, right.) and can help millions of people regain a presence to lead a more normal or completely normal life. I am all for it. I can think of an individual here that desperately needs the fix. If we could isolate the gene that causes liberalism, all would be right with the world. Crap. Forgot that liberalism is an “emotion” and, therefore, incurable. Well, we’ll continue to work on that one.

Over a half century ago, I learned in school that the Ganges River, which is held as a religious icon of sorts, carries in it some of the most horrid cooties know to man. Why? Because people bathe and die in it, all in the hope of being cured from their ills. And people in the states worry about someone radical introducing a contagion into our water supplies. In India, they do it without understanding or of a nonchalant attitude. Regardless, new strains of disease, usually morphed into drug resistant types, are becoming more common place everyday. Think about those scary diseases out there that you hope you never get, then reflect on the ones that have now become “incurable”. AIDS has now become a piker comparatively.

Think. Those people that legally immigrate to this country without a thorough medical screening. The illegals pouring through our borders. Visitors from other countries coming here. A trip overseas for vacation or business. You hear about outbreaks of diseases all the time yet you feel insulated from harm since it happens “off shore”. Really? What is contained in that sneeze from a woman on the subway? The cough from the man at the movie theatre? That bathroom door handle after you just got through washing your hands? A co-worker whispering something to you at a meeting? “That can’t happen to me” or “You are just being paranoid” are naive statements of no weight. Here are two articles on just TB alone. You can find many others out on the web. We have become a close knit community without the safeguards necessary to coexist. This is something that can’t be ignored anymore. If you remember your movies, WAR OF THE WORLDS was based on germs which killed the Martians wholesale yet we had the antibodies to stave those same germs off. I think the warehouse holding antibodies is depleted and on back order.
