{rickwells.us} ~ Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is getting pressure from House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) and other conservative House members to delay the August recess... so Republicans have a chance to pass at least some parts of President Trump’s agenda. The do-nothing Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell announced on Wednesday that he would be delaying their August recess by two weeks. Ryan followed that with a declaration that in the House they are “far ahead of the pace” and therefore would not be delaying their vacation. They are on pace to do nothing, according to Meadows’ calculations. Meadows spoke at the Capitol Hill “Conversations with Conservatives” event on Thursday, saying, “We’re almost at the 200-day mark. It’s not a good story.” He did an analysis of what remains to be done versus the expected time it would take to accomplish it and there’s no room for a five week vacation. If they stick to the current schedule, a tax reform package will not happen... http://rickwells.us/freedom-caucus-warns-ryan-delay-recess-pass-trump-agenda-else/

{conservativetribune.com} ~ China has just begun sending a very dangerous weapon — its troops — to a base in the East African nation of Djibouti just miles from where a U.S. special operations base is located... According to American Military News, the base in Djibouti will be China’s first such outpost overseas. Beijing has billed it as a “logistics facility” to fight piracy in the Gulf of Aden as well as a major outpost to help launch African peacekeeping efforts. The base, which began construction in early 2016, isn’t operational yet. However, a batch of personnel departed from a naval base in Zhanjiang on Tuesday. “The base will ensure China’s performance of missions, such as escorting, peacekeeping and humanitarian aid in Africa and west Asia,” a report from Beijing’s state-run Xinhua news agency read, according to the South China Morning Post... http://conservativetribune.com/china-shipping-weapon-base/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=braverafreedomforce&utm_campaign=can&utm_content=2017-07-15

So Now American Zionists Want to Boycott Israel
 
by Alan M. Dershowitz
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Several prominent American Zionists – including long-time supporters of Israel – are so outraged at the Israeli government's recent decision regarding the Western Wall and non-orthodox conversion... that they are urging American Jews to reduce or even eliminate their support for Israel. According to an article by Elliott Abrams in Mosaic, Ike Fisher a prominent member of the AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] board, threatened to "suspend" all further financial support for Israel. Daniel Gordis, a leading voice for Conservative Judaism, urged American Jews to cancel their El Al tickets and fly Delta or United. He also proposed "withholding donations to Israeli hospitals, so that 'They start running out of money' and 'begin to falter.'" This sort of emotional response is reminiscent of the temper tantrum outgoing President Barak liar-nObama engaged in when he refused to veto the UN's recent anti-Israel resolution. I strongly disagree both with the Israeli government's capitulation to the minority of ultra-Orthodox Jews, who wield far too much influence in Israeli politics, and with the proposals to cut back on support for Israel by some of my fellow critics of the Israeli government's recent decisions with regard to religion...https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10681/so-now-american-zionists-want-to-boycott-israel

{lidblog.com} ~ None of this takes away from the absolutely stupid way Team Trump has handled the legal meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and anywhere up to five Russians... But it would be an unexpected pleasant case of the MSM actually doing their jobs if they covered the latest examples or any of the earlier ones of former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton using the State Department thus taxpayer money to help the liar-Clinton Family Foundation, make tons of cash. On Friday, Judicial Watch, one of the few organizations digging for the truth, released  448 pages of documents from the U.S. Department of State revealing new examples of Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff to the former state dept. chief providing special State Department treatment to major donors to the liar-Clinton Foundation and political campaigns. Much of the explanation below comes directly from the Judicial Watch explanation of the emails... http://lidblog.com/enrich-clinton-foundation/

{cato.org} ~ Back in April, I shared a new video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity that explained how poor nations can become rich nations by following the recipe of small government and free markets... Now CF&P has released another video. Narrated by Yamila Feccia from Argentina, it succinctly explains - using both theory and evidence - why spending caps are the most prudent and effective way of achieving good fiscal results... https://www.cato.org/blog/just-six-minutes-everything-you-need-know-about-spending-caps?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRNM1lUaGtORFl3TXpneSIsInQiOiJWTUxHZmM3VUs1NDRrOFJYVVFlNStQWXVXemZpS0FJdTQ4Z0pXeVNtajNCWWpLdkdTNkN3cldpVHl0b3N2QWk1RHB4M1hMNUF2VEFZRTdtK2t0bGlcL1laeUJlYjh1aDJrVUFaQTduUFlXWlgrS1Q0NnNmbmViTXpTZERIOXlTaWoifQ%3D%3D

New liar-nObamacare 'Repeal Bill'

{
townhall.com} ~ After a tense morning of closed door meetings on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans have released their version of an liar-nObamacare repeal bill in hopes of getting it to the floor next week for a vote.
 
The Better Care Act is seen as a compromise between moderate and conservative factions among GOP senators and keeps a number of liar-nObamacare taxes and subsidies in place. Without any Democrat support, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell can only afford to lose two Republican votes.
 
"This is our opportunity to make a difference. It's time to build a bridge away from liar-nObamcare's failures and toward relief for those who need it," Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate Floor Thursday. "It's time to rise to the occasion. The American people deserve better than the pain of liar-nObamacare...the time to deliver that, is next week."
 
McConnell argued the 172-page long legislation improves on the previous Senate bill, which was essentially dead on arrival, and provides stability to the insurance markets. He also highlighted the bill's bolstering of resources to combat the opioid crisis, which is backed up by an increase in spending. Additional spending has also been allocated as a way to reduce premium costs. Health Savings Accounts will be eligible for use toward premium payments.  
 
An amendment offered by Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee is not included in its original form. Phil Klein breaks that aspect down:
The bill does not include an amendment from Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, as originally written, but it includes a provision that’s based on the idea. Under the original proposal, an insurer that offered a plan that met all of liar-nObamacare’s requirements in a state could then offer any additional plans free of the regulations. A new version would set up a fund to help cover those with higher medical costs, but to access the money, an insurer would have to offer at least one compliant plan. At that point, the insurer can offer plans that get around nine of the insurance requirements. The idea is to provide more choices of lower premium plans to healthier individuals with low medical costs who have seen their premiums soar under liar-nObamacare. The waivable requirements include: the requirement to offer all plans to those with pre-existing conditions, the requirement that all plans meet a certain actuarial value, the community rating requirement preventing insurers from pricing plans based on health status, and the mandate that all plans cover a certain set of essential health benefits. Full list here. It’s important to keep in mind that the bill would not waive the requirement that all states have a single risk pool, which means both the compliant plans offered on the liar-nObamacare exchange and the exempted plans being offered off the exchange would be in the same risk pool. Expect the effects of that distinction to be hotly debated among wonks today.
