Trump Signs Law To Lower Drug Prices,

Ends Gag Orders Against Pharmacists

by Evie Fordham

{westernjournal.com} ~ President Donald Trump signed a law that ends insurance companies’ pharmacist gag clauses in an effort to lower drug prices Wednesday... “If there’s anything bipartisan it’s lowering drug prices,” Trump said while signing the Patients’ Right To Know Drug Prices Act according to CBS News. Currently, insurers and pharmacy benefit managers use the gag clauses to “forbid pharmacists from proactively telling consumers if their prescription would cost less if they paid for it out-of-pocket rather than using their insurance plan,” according to a press release from Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, the bill’s sponsor. Trump also signed dummycrats-Democratic Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s Know the Lowest Price Act, which “prohibits Medicare drug plans from putting a gag clause on a pharmacy in their contracts,” according to CNN. The Patients’ Right To Know Drug Prices Act would lead to “a slight decrease in federal revenues,” according to the Congressional Budget Office. That decrease could be offset by another provision in the bill, reported Politico. Collins’s bill also targets “pay-for-delay,” a tactic where a brand drug company pays a generic manufacturer to withhold a product that would compete with the brand drug for market share... Why isn't the news media saying anything about this.  https://www.westernjournal.com/trump-signs-law-ends-gag-orders-pharmacists-sharing-money-saving-info/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=libertyalliance&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance

How dummycrats-Dem Rage is Destroying America

by Daniel Greenfield

{frontpagemag.com} ~ “Use the rage,” former Attorney General scumbag-Eric Holder scream-tweeted. “Get people out to vote and be rid of these people.”... Had President Trump urged his supporters to channel their rage into politics, the quote would have been good for a week of sanctimonious media lectures about his destruction of democratic norms. Not to mention his dangerous divisiveness, the risk of violence and the high price of tea in Outer Mongolia. But the media has neither the interest nor the inclination to even note scumbag-Holder’s ‘rage’ tweet. It’s too busy preaching anger, fury and hatred to the same shrieking choir of maddened lefties screaming at the sky, having meltdowns on social media and clawing madly at the doors of the Supreme Court. "We need to stay angry about Kavanaugh," E.J. Dionne Jr. fulminates in the Washington Post. But that’s nothing compared to the New York Times where the old gray lady is frenziedly distempered all the time. "Get Angry, and Get Involved," an op-ed screeches. "Tears, Fury or Action: How Do You Express Anger?", an op-ed from a few days before shrills. “Fury Is a Political Weapon And Women Need to Wield It,” a third howls.  That’s a lot of anger from the megaphone of the privileged wealthy northeastern left. There hasn’t been this much peevishness on Martha’s Vineyard since they raised the yacht docking fees...

Illegal Immigrant Births Cost U.S.

More Than Trump’s Wall Funding

by Andrew

{conservativefreepress.com} ~ According to the Center for Immigration Studies, U.S. taxpayers are shelling out more money to cover the costs of illegal immigrants... popping out babies in the United States than Congress is willing to spend on President Trump’s promised border wall. The shocking comparison was discovered and reported this week after CIS did a deep-dive on Census Bureau data from 2014. As reported by the Washington Examiner, the numbers show that while the U.S. is spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.4 billion a year to facilitate the birth of anchor babies in this country, Congress could only manage to give Trump a measly $1.6 billion to start construction on the wall.  The Center for Immigration Studies report also put a price on the likely Medicaid bill for childbirth and early care to illegal and legal immigrants combined, at $5.3 billion. That is one-fifth the total cost of building the border wall. A national debate over wall funding is set for after the election and could result in a partial government shutdown if Trump doesn’t get more than the Senate’s $1.6 billion. Technically, illegal immigrants are not eligible for welfare services. But the report explained, “Medicaid will pay for a delivery in almost all cases if the mother is uninsured or has a low income, though some mothers without insurance may not even realize the program has paid health care providers. Illegal immigrants and most new legal immigrants are ineligible for Medicaid, but the program will still cover the cost of delivery and post-partum care for these mothers for at least a few months.”...

Military temporarily grounds all F-35s worldwide for

inspections after September crash

by David Brown

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ All F-35 aircraft were temporarily grounded Thursday following the crash of one of its jump-jet variants in late September in South Carolina... according to a U.S. military statement. Flight personnel were ordered to inspect a fuel tube inside each F-35's engine, pull out bad ones, and return aircraft with known good tubes to flight status. Inspections on the Pratt & Whitney engines are expected to be completed within the next 48 hours, the F-35 Joint Program Office said Thursday morning. The relatively brief inspections meant that some aircraft were able to return to flight status quickly. The British Defence Ministry tweeted that its aircraft had resumed flight operations aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. A Lockheed Martin spokesman said aircraft at Fort Worth had also return to flight. Contrary to reports, all F-35 jets have not been grounded. We have paused some F-35 flying as a precautionary measure while we consider the findings of an ongoing enquiry. Flight trials from @HMSQnlz continue and the programme remains on schedule #F35 @thef35pic.twitter.com/yOOpSAFxZ0

President Trump lashes 2020 dummycrats-Dems: 'Horrible'

scumbag-Cory Booker, 'disgrace' Elizabeth dinky-Warren, 

'one percent' loose lios-Joe Biden

by Salena Zito

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump ridiculed potential dummycrats-Democratic opponents in his 2020 re-election battle and claimed that Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren "made a living" dishonestly... from being "an Indian under minority protections." Trump stated that Sen. scumbag-Cory Booker had "destroyed Newark" and branded former Vice President loose lipos-Joe Biden as a political failure before "scumbag/liar-nObama took him off the trash heap." He labeled loose lips-Biden "one percent Joe," a reference to his poor showing in the 2008 dummycrats-Democratic primary race, when he dropped out after securing 0.9 percent of delegates in the Iowa caucuses. “So far I like all of them," Trump said when asked about the 2020 dummycrats-Democratic field in an interview with the Washington Examiner ahead of his rally in Erie Wednesday evening. "Matter of fact, I've been very hard on some of them, and I don't want to be because I may … I may have to run with somebody with some talent,” he said.Trump rounded on Elizabeth dinky-Warren, D-Mass., for past claims of Native American heritage. "We talk Pocahontas all the time," he said, using the nickname for her that has prompted outrage from Democrats and Native American groups. "She' s made a living off getting things because of her heritage. 'She's not Indian. She's not an Indian. Her mother says she has high cheekbones, okay, and therefore she's an Indian, therefore she applies under minority protections. It's ridiculous. I think it's a disgrace that she's ... she's gonna be running. I'd love to run against her."...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/interview-president-trump-lashes-2020-democrats-horrible-cory-booker-disgrace-elizabeth-warren-one-percent-joe-biden?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_10/11/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Trump's Trumpian Assault on 'Medicare for All'

by Nate Jackson:  Like running the football straight up the middle, a regular dummycrats-Democrat play is to accuse Republicans of taking entitlements from America’s seniors. (Remember that infamous ad depicting “Paul Ryan” pushing a wheelchair-bound grandma off a cliff?) Well, President Donald Trump was elected because he was both practically immune from such attacks and isn’t afraid to use those tactics himself.

             Thus, with his USA Today op-ed yesterday, he warned that dummycrats-Democrats’ “Medicare for All” plan “will demolish promises to seniors.”
               “Dishonestly called ‘Medicare for All,’ the dummycrats-Democratic proposal would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that eliminates all private and employer-based health care plans and would cost an astonishing $32.6 trillion during its first 10 years,” he wrote. Analysis: True.
               He also notes it’s not a fringe idea anymore: “123  dummycrats-Democrats in the House of Representatives — 64 percent of House dummycrats-Democrats — as well as 15 dummycrats-Democrats in the Senate have already formally co-sponsored this legislation. dummycrats-Democratic nominees for governor in Florida, California and Maryland are all campaigning in support of it, as are many dummycrats-Democratic congressional candidates.”
               To be sure, Trump plays a bit fast and loose with terminology. Technically, commie-Bernie Sanders’s plan — essentially adopted by dummycrats-Democrats — is to expand Medicare to include better coverage for all seniors and then gradually include all Americans. But what Trump means is that the plan will cost so much, while shifting the cost burden onto taxpayers and the health care industry, that Medicare — and the health market — will effectively be ruined.
               Trump has never made any bones about his desire to preserve earned entitlements like Medicare and Social Security as they are, regardless of their drain on federal coffers. In other words, he’s immune from the typical dummycrats-Democrat attack (though The Washington Post does have an absurd and dishonest “fact check” today on his op-ed), and he is instead turning that attack right back on the Left.
