Good questions.
Hospitals have been merging and making regional, state wide , beyond state wide corporate empires all over the US for decades now.

I had one patient tell me a son was CEO of multiple hospitals and he makes millions.

Rick Scott was head of Humana if I recall

One can also think of a Presidential candidate whose first name begins with V.

Think the Wall Street side of things for one.
But not the only one.

But also think about patients
if everything is totally covered and they have NO skin the game then health care usage goes up.

but we can't label cartels as "terrorists" 

"Polls also show Republicans underperforming in Senate races and a strong likelihood they lose the House.  Divided government means largely status quo, not change."

Yes, and Bill O'Reilly echoed our sentiment here:

Something to the effect that "I am worried about our country".  With everything as bad as it is and R's still can't win the Houses.

So even if Trump gets elected

we will here on day one about the new resistance.
we will find out how many Biden executive orders will block Trump
everyone Dem within 50 miles will be pardoned in advance - if possible

we will have a Dem Congress
and we the R's will not be able to turn anything around

I suspect the down races are favorable to the Dems because of the massive cash rolling in from the millionaire / billionaire class.

Too much rich money coming in
distorting our political process to the Left.

Mentioned in above article made me free associate it with Jim Thorpe:

From Wikipedia:

In 1904, the sixteen-year-old Thorpe returned to his father and decided to attend Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. There his athletic ability was recognized and he was coached by Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner, one of the most influential coaches of early American football history.[24]

Played against Eisenhower:

Carlisle's 1912 record included a 27–6 victory over the West Point Army team.[12] In that game, Thorpe's 92-yard touchdown was nullified by a teammate's penalty, but on the next play Thorpe rushed for a 97-yard touchdown.[31] future President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who played against him in that game, recalled of Thorpe in a 1961 speech:

Here and there, there are some people who are supremely endowed. My memory goes back to Jim Thorpe. He never practiced in his life, and he could do anything better than any other football player I ever saw.[24]

AND being stabbed in the back by Pop Warner:

Thorpe had never tried to hide his participation in baseball. He'd told Superintendent Friedman before leaving campus in 1909, and had talked about it ever since coming back. 'I never made any secret about it.' Thorpe later said. 'I often told the boys, with the coaches listening, about things that happened while I was at Rocky Mount.' There's simply no way Pop Warner didn't know about Thorpe's summer baseball. After all they'd accomplished together, all they'd been through, this was the moment Thorpe needed Warner the most. This was Warner's chance to stand by Thorpe's side. He didn't do it. To Jim's teammates, this was nothing less than a knife to the back." Gus Welch, one of Thorpe's teammates, said, "Mr. Warner is a good football coach, but a man with no principle."

so where is the DEI

2/3 of professors think NYPD restoring order was bad idea

while

2/3 of Americans think the exact opposite:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/67-percent-in-new-poll-concerned-campus-protests-will-lead-to-violence/ar-BB1m44ti?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Diversity my ass!

2/3 faculty voted no confidence for her calling in NYPD

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/columbia-university-president-hit-with-no-confidence-vote-over-protests/ar-BB1mvSEY?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=DCTS&cvid=702d486471ae483c8c7c7633c4182f47&ei=20

what is outrageous and very telling about the faculty is this is how they think

disrupting a college campus and making demands is not free speech.
too many American and Jew haters and crazy Marxists

 
RIP

yes the only reason anyone would embarrass themselves and post her eh hem, less than genius lecture is to show off her use of a curse word (30 to 40 yrs ago the same word would have been reason enough NOT to vote for such a foul mouth.  Now the word is tossed around like the word the.

Me:
she is so "fuckin'" stupid

cackling fucking stupid

always race abortion xenophobia
always the same with her

a female version of Sharpton
though he is a more clever charlatan

I bet the penguins want a cut!
Aren't they the original indigenous inhabitants?

I imagine it would be very expensive to get to market .
Antarctica must have been part of a continent that was tropical at one time.......

well said

https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-natanz-uranium-enrichment-underground-project-04dae673fc937af04e62b65dd78db2e0

of course since this is AP, the last part of the article implies this is so due to Trump pulling out of the Iran "deal".

And Iran has has built this nuc site for *peaceful purposes* - 300 ft underground.

we Let it get this far ......

In the article it is suggested it cannot be removed from the air.
Will need ground assault then and likely both.

Iran leadership represents the "Crazy King" scenario that Jacobson tells us that Richard Garwin feared is the joker card that could break the deterrence strategy leading to nuc winter.

By the way Richard Garwin who is still alive who as a 23 yo who put into practical application Edward Teller's physics theories.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Garwin

he started out with Obama

the majority of the worst people in the administration came down the roads that lead back to Obama

who has been a recking ball to the US of A

 

good save

of both chickens and a beautiful bird!

first time I heard someone admonish Omar Bradley and Eisenhower and Montgomery for not letting Patton do what he did best - win wars. 

Thanks to that we wound up with many thousands dead or injured in the Battle of the Bulge.

Interestingly he compares Patton to Trump.
Both brilliant and both bombastic and their own worst enemies.

 I like his voice and the song though a bit generic:

I am Russian
I breathe in this air
The sun in the sky is looking at me
A free wind
flies above me It is just like me
And I just want to love and breathe
And I don't need
anything else The way I am, and I can't be broken
And all because
I'm Russian, I'm going to the end
I'm Russian, my blood is from my father, I'm
Russian, and I'm lucky
I'm Russian to spite the whole world
I am Russian
This song
flies into the sky And calls me with it
, And my heart
burns in me, Lighting the way home
Where I just want to love and breathe
And I don't need
anything else This is how I am, and I can't be broken
And all because
I'm Russian, I'm going to the end
I'm Russian, my blood is from my father, I'm
Russian, and I'm lucky
I'm Russian to spite the whole world
I am Russian
I'm Russian, I'm going to the end
I'm Russian, my blood is from my father
I'm Russian, and I'm lucky
I'm Russian to spite the whole world
I am Russian

I can' say about Europe or elsewhere
but in the US the Left is demonstrating >>>> more antisemitism than the Right.

meaning the Democrats.

When is the last time we saw a group of about a dozen white supremacists or KKK denouncing Jews on 200 college campuses?

I don't like the headlines which as usual seem to minimize Democrat responsibility with the admonishment "they are all doing it on both sides" schtick.

https://www.ynetnews.com/magazine/article/sk7hjldma

does he tango?

"I don't know if they did the right or the wrong thing but this doesn't seem as private and secure as presented"

I dunno either.
If because the person was a suspected tax cheat I would not like it.
If the person was conspiring to murder Jews or launch a terrorist attack I would be ok with it.

If some rich Spanish connected woman wanted to know if her husband was cheating - you guessed it.

nominated for "a bounty" of Tony awards 

let's see:

one Fordham Law school

one Yale Law school

and four Harvard Law school (including Bragg)

graduates

https://abcnews.go.com/US/members-manhattan-das-team-prosecuting-trump/story?id=98434088

did 4 have classes with Larry Tribe?   and none with Dershowitz?

so all these supposed IVy lawyers think this is a good case.   

assuming any of the porn stars allegations are true this would be exactly the reason he would pay her off and have her sign a NDA; to do just that - avoid embarrassment for him and family.

so it is obvious to me this whole thing is to humiliate Trump and hope the jury is dishonest enough along with the judge to rule a crime is committed, (falsely!!!) and before any appeal which according to any honest lawyer I have heard said would result in a conviction being overturned.


what a joke

amazing how lawyers themselves are not embarrassed by this whole circus.

we used to play with toy guns Indians and Cowboys....  make believe only

this reminds me of the child soldiers in Africa ......... for real

"Not sure how Jews can vote for the Big Guy in view of contrasts such as this:"

I agree but,

I will still be shocked, shocked if most Jews do not vote for Biden.  Maybe it will go down 2 to 5% not more.

One must understand the religion is less Judaism and more their beloved Democrat Party.

Plus they despise Trump beyond description

Look at all the Jewish lawyers happy as larks rather then ashamed of subverting the law to GET orange man.

Look at all the Jewish donors.

A few came out publicly and stated they would stop donating to some of the universities, but have you seen a single one come out and say that they along with others will reduce the 50% total donations to the DNC?

If any have, I have not read about it.

I have not read Katzenberg has slowed down gathering up every penny he can for the "big guy" and party.
They are spending and lawyering like banshees to keep Trump out and to win back Congress and Senate.

how do we fight back at this Soros guy
Divest from all HIS interests.

he needs a financial colonoscope
and should be targeted by intelligence agencies or DOJ , if we win.
