{headlinehealth.com} ~ A slew of new health laws is set to go into effect when the New Year kicks off on Tuesday... Affected are blood alcohol limits, hunting regulations, scumbag/liar-nObamacare provisions, mandatory vaccinations, bake sales, and more – because clearly we don’t have enough laws on the books already to protect us from ourselves and one another. Get set to comply with these new legal requirements, compiled from news sources. Don’t see your state listed? Many legislatures and even federal regulators take their cues from trend-setting states like California, New York, and Massachusetts; similar changes could come to your state soon...California - Connecticut - Illinois - Massachusetts - Minnesota - New Jersey - New York City - New York State - Ohio - Utah and Nationwide, the states will be able to enact policies and regulations accomplishing what the ACA promised but could never provide: affordable health insurance for all Americans,” they wrote.

Graham rips scumbag/liar-nObama over Iraq troop withdrawal: 'That's a bunch of bulls---, pardon my French'
by Ben Wolfgang
{washingtontimes.com} ~ Former President scumbag/liar-nObama’s “bulls–” decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011 paved the way for the rise of the Islamic State... and left the Trump administration in a difficult spot, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday. Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the South Carolina Republican vehemently rejected the notion that Mr. scumbag/liar-nObama had no choice but to pull American forces from the country because of a previous agreement Iraqi leaders had reached with the George W. Bush administration years earlier. “That’s a bunch of bulls–, pardon my French. That’s a complete lie,” Mr. Graham said. “scumbag/liar-nObama wanted to get to zero troops. He got to zero.” There are now about 5,200 American troops in Iraq. Their mission centers on training and assisting Iraqi security forces in the fight against the Islamic State. During a trip to Iraq last week, Mr. Trump said he has no plans to bring those forces home. But the president has said he’ll withdraw the 2,000 American troops from Syria and also plans to cut in half the 14,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan...Blindness

{ipatriot.com} ~ This is a more expository fleshing out of an impossible attempt at dialog with a couple of reality blinded individuals, call them Don and Jim, driveling on my FB page. There’s no point trying to reason with them, for the precise reasons that follow and are in fact the very point of the whole conversation. The initial topic started with my stating the incontestable position that Trump has a great many successes under his belt and their complete denial that he has done anything positive I’d like to force them to put their money where their mouths are by sending back the extra $5000 or so they have in their bank or pocket or have spent, but don’t think they’d be THAT willing to say that $5000 was the “nothing” they claim and therefore send it back to the Treasury. Here goes:
These responses continue to prove and in fact amplify my blindness point, which I’ll illustrate with an analogy in the hope that somebody with a SMIDGEN of vision left might perceive they have a problem and address it: you can’t cure a blind man by showing him a picture. I could post pages of Trump’s accomplishments and ways we’re all better off, but it would be pointless because they would be unable to see them. Further, I could respect them and carry on constructive arguments for both sides if people like Don and Jim could see those pages and acknowledge them with something like, “Gee, I didn’t realize he’d done all that for us” and then perhaps follow it with something like, “But here’s how these new Democratic proposals WE’RE LISTING can make things even better without giving up these very real gains from which we’re all benefiting.” But said blindness precludes the entree to any such reasoning, since it is unable to take into account and analyze the cause and effect of what’s already happened… if you don’t have that comprehension of how things have and actually do work, it would be pure, blind sort of an unintended pun luck if something they devised would work.
The whole thing is particularly insidious because most blind people realize they are blind people. Not in this case, which is even FURTHER insidious because it can’t be fixed surgically since it’s actually a manifestation of the catatonic state known as TDS. But the SERIOUS danger here is something that can be demonstrated by another of my analogies: if you know you’re blind, you take remedial actions and behave in accordance with abilities; these politically blind folks are like a visionless person who still thinks it’s OK to drive! A failure to acknowledge reality can actually be very dangerous, and in this case, the danger is to our country by virtue of bad or nonexistent inputs leading to flawed reasoning. Another analogy might be to imagine a blind person discussing flight, not seeing how it is actually accomplished, but doing LSD and thinking a “flying trip” shows him how it’s done and provides the instruction map for launching a man into outer space. This could prove problematic for that man, as such ill-informed reasoning is for our country.
