RINO-Collins says no on liar-nObamaCare
repeal bill, effectively derailing
Graham-Cassidy legislation
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ Sen. RINO-Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Monday she will vote against the latest liar-nObamaCare repeal bill, effectively killing the Graham-Cassidy legislation... RINO-Collins' announcement came minutes after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released figures estimating that the legislation would "result in millions fewer people with comprehensive health insurance that covers high-cost medical events." In a statement, RINO-Collins referred to the Graham-Cassidy bill as "deeply flawed," and that health care reform cannot be done properly "in a compressed time frame."...You Republicans had 7 plus years to repeal. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/25/collins-says-no-on-obamacare-repeal-bill-effectively-derailing-graham-cassidy-legislation.html.
Using Truth to Fight Globalist
Lies About The John Birch Societ
by Alex Newman
{thenewamerican.com} ~ The John Birch Society has been enduring rampant smears of late, being called anti-Semitic and a white nationalist group... But the truth is far different — and always has been. If you represent any sort of threat against the establishment and its globalist agenda, prepare to be ruthlessly demonized and lied about by that same globalist establishment. Exhibit A is, of course, President Donald Trump. After announcing that he was running on an anti-globalist platform to “drain the swamp,” the billionaire businessman was relentlessly smeared across every propaganda organ the establishment possesses. If the “fake news” media, as Trump correctly calls them, is to be believed, the president is a racist, white supremacist, anti-Semite, white nationalist, lunatic, conspiracy theorist, agent of Vladimir Putin, and another Hitler... https://www.thenewamerican.com/print-magazine/item/26980-using-truth-to-fight-globalist-lies-about-the-john-birch-society.
Does Israel DiscriminateAgainst Arabs?

Olga Meshoe, herself a South African whose family experienced apartheid, settles the question once and for all. Maybe you’ve heard someone say that Israel is an apartheid state. That Israel has a policy of segregating and oppressing the minority population within its borders – like South Africa once did... http://www.truthrevolt.org/commentary/prager-u-does-israel-discriminate-against-arabs.
Graham-Cassidy and the
Future of Healthcare Reform
by John C. Goodman
{forbes.com} ~ The prognosis for Graham-Cassidy, the latest “repeal and replace liar-nObamacare” health-reform bill, to secure 50 votes in the Senate by the September 30 deadline looks negative... a tie in Congress’s upper chamber would give Vice President Mike Pence the deciding vote, despite a few tweaks made to the legislation Sunday night to potentially win the necessary support. However, regardless of the fate of Graham-Cassidy, with its focus on cutting regulations and block-granting liar-nObamacare dollars to the states, it’s crucial that health reform give the states greater flexibility, argues Independent Institute Senior Fellow John C. Goodman, in a recent column on the benefits of Graham-Cassidy in Forbes... https://www.forbes.com/sites/johngoodman/2017/09/18/ten-reasons-why-every-state-should-welcome-the-grahamcassidyhellerjohnson-health-reform-bill/#765dd80b5481

Greedy Capitalists Didn’t
Rape Venezuela, Greedy Socialists Did
{townhall.com} ~ “From the Soviet Union to Cuba, Venezuela, wherever socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish, devastation and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems…”– President Donald Trump, Sept. 19.
A big takeaway from my prior years in ministry is that things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes people hide dark secrets behind nice smiles and happy faces.
Here in the U.S., gobs of sorely misinformed people fantasize about the pie-in-the-sky idea of socialism, having no idea all it does is make everyone except those in charge poor and miserable.
Even so, socialism barkers put on happy faces and try to sell socialism like snake oil salesmen.
And then there is President Trump, who told it like it is during his U.N. General Assembly speech, which will likely go down in history as one for the ages.
Trump said, “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.”
You could almost hear all the air being sucked out of the room by horrorstruck socialist world leaders forced to face the truth head-on: Everywhere socialism is implemented it eventually fails.
Venezuela, the weight loss capital of the world, is falling apart.
Socialist policies picked this oil rich country bone-dry.
Then he went spend-happy.
For a short while, Venezuelans enjoyed freebies like the single payer healthcare system that Congressional Democrats here in the U.S. want so bad they would probably be willing to sell everything you own to get it, if that’s what it would take.
The government became Venezuelans’ sole provider. Along with free healthcare, they also received subsidies for energy and food.
Then the healthcare system collapsed and the economy went kaput.
Devoid of basic necessities like food, medications, or even toilet paper, Venezuelans now forage through trash like wild animals and even eat dogs and cats to survive.
All that, while current president Nicolas Madura and Chavez family members live in the lap of luxury.
Yes, folks, socialism works.
It works for leaders who steal it from the folks at the top, bottom and middle.
They’ll tell you every time they are doing it to share the wealth. Chavez talked the socialism talk while he was lining his pockets. When he died, he left his daughter Maria Gabriela Chavez around $4 billion, Miami-based newspaper Diario Las Americas reports.
Like Chavez, Democrats tend to blame much of the inequities in the world on capitalism.
Greedy capitalists didn’t rape Venezuela, greedy socialists did.
The Economist reports Chavez “expropriated and redistributed wealth to weaken enemies and woo allies” and “undercut the oil wealth that funded Venezuelan socialism.” Then, the inevitable happened, Venezuela ran “out of other people’s money,” just like former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said.
Meanwhile, malnourished Venezuelans are fleeing in droves to escape the death throes of a socialist nightmare.
