Creating the Toxic Atmosphere, Israel, and Iran Ballistic Tests

I don't believe it is going broke and my husband has no problems with doctors and claims:

"The 2015 report of Medicare’s trustees finds that Medicare’s Hospital Insurance (HI) trust fund will remain solvent — that is, able to pay 100 percent of the costs of the hospital insurance coverage that Medicare provides — through 2030. Even in 2030, when the HI trust fund is projected for exhaustion, incoming payroll taxes and other revenue will still be sufficient to pay 86 percent of Medicare hospital insurance costs.[1] The share of costs covered by dedicated revenues will decline slowly to 80 percent in 2050 and then rise gradually to 84 percent in 2089. This shortfall will need to be closed through raising revenues, slowing the growth in costs, or most likely both. But the Medicare hospital insurance program will not run out of all financial resources and cease to operate after 2030, as the “bankruptcy” term may suggest."

I have. My doctor changed over to a concierge practice and has a physician's assistant perform physicals for patients who won't or can't pay a huge annual retainer just so they can be examined by the doctor himself. Why? Because the costs and paper work required by Medicare were driving him out of business, just as it has done to many other doctors across the country including my own brother! Glad it is working out for your family however.

a reply to: kendix1960

Not just my family. We live in a small city that has a good medical complex. Retirees from all the surrounding towns come for the medical facility. Since the ACA, it has grown a lot and new doctors. Of course, we live in a little bit of paradise here, geographically.

Glad for all of you, but millions of folks have not done well under Obamacare.

a reply to: kendix1960

And I urge them to move from states that will not take the medicaid expansion, construct new laws directed at women's health, and give their citizens poison drinking water to give tax breaks.

a reply to: MOMof3

Agree! Good points.

Students at Emory University saw "Trump, 2016" written in chalk and spread around the Atlanta university campus. The students interpreted this as signs of hate and complained that it frightened them.

If something seemingly innocent could so affect an intelligent student body at such an excellent institution, it speaks volumes about Donald Trump. And given this man's penchant for inciting fear and violence, it is hardly surprising and it explains why he is losing support all over the country per the latest polls.

a reply to: Yes,Yes,Yes:

Per the Orlando Sentinel, Trump's own words clearly reveal that he knows nothing whatever about the issues facing the country, either foreign or domestic. And the Republican Party is on a path to nominate someone totally unqualified to be President of The United States! How true and how tragic for our nation and the world!

a reply to: Yes,Yes,Yes:

Per a poll conducted recently by the The Los Angeles Times, many people in the state of California have an unfavorable impression of Donald Trump, even Republicans. They see him as a pathetic person who shoots from the hip, says stupid things, and they regard him as a loose cannon.

Unfortunately, too many folks have the very false impression that if a candidate is wealthy like Trump, then he must also be smart. Nothing could be further from the truth!! Trump is in fact stupid!

This poll also indicated that Hilary Clinton would not only soundly defeat Trump in the general election in November, it also indicated that Clinton would also beat Ted Cruz as well!

a reply to: Muse7:

According to a Gallup poll released today, Donald Trump is the most unpopular American Presidential candidate in the past 24 years.

This fact, combined with the further indication in the poll that many GOP voters are expressing increased dissatisfaction with the electoral process , does not bode well for Trump's prospects in the national election this November where he is badly trailing Hillary Clinton.

That is a good thing because America sure doesn't need a dictatorial ignoramus in the White House!

The U.S. is finally ramping up intelligence cooperation and planning to seriously discuss current strategy against Isis at a forthcoming summit with international leaders in light of the Brussels Terrorist attack.

It is about time. Even this lazy president can no longer deny the need for a new action plan to fight these terrorist barbarians based on a shared intelligence effort with our world partners!

a reply to:AVoiceOfReason:

Europeans think of Donald Trump as a bully, a clown, and as an inflammatory candidate and narcissist. They fear that a Trump presidency would ultimately mean that Europe could no longer count on America, and regard Trump as a threat to America's position on the world stage.

Once again it has become clear and obvious that this racist egomaniac has no respect from our European allies.

Per Newsmax, Donald Trump has failed to gain the support of Republican officials on the eve of the important April 5th Wisconsin primary where Gov. Kasich of Ohio is hoping to do well in this nearby mid western state.

It is crucial that the Ohio governor begin to erode Trump's support, especially in places such as Wisconsin where there would be a greater proportion of moderates who find his message far more appealing than that of other candidates like the tea party religious zealot, Ted Cruz, and the narcissist racist bully, Donald Trump!

a reply to:JonjJonj:

As per CBS News/The New York Times, voters are finding Donald Trump and "lying Ted Cruz" to be equally dishonest among the Republican candidates running for President.

The obvious Republican party nominee should therefore be Gov. Kasich of Ohio, a man of integrity, skill ,past governmental and executive experience, sound knowledge of the issues, both domestic and foreign, and fully qualified to be President of the United States!

a reply to: JonjJonj:

Per Politico, Donald Trump is now trying to change the rules and is arguing that the candidate with the most delegates from the primaries should get the nomination.

This time, however, the whining bully is not going to get his way. He is sounding desperate because he fears he is not going to get the requisite majority of delegates going into the convention in July. So now he wants to move the goal posts. He also knows that if he isn't the nominee after the first ballot that he may never be the nominee at all and the convention will then turn to a compromise candidate not named Trump.

DUMP THE TRUMP!!!

Katie Couric, a leading news anchor, spoke to a group of GOP Congressman today and they expressed negative views of Donald Trump. His lack of civility, his statement that Israel must be made to pay for it's defense aid, his lack of any specific policy proposals or how he would implement them, his views toward immigrants, and the foul and disrespectful language used in his speeches to name but a few. Some even commented that they wouldn't want their kids to hear some of Trump's speeches because he was not a good role model for children.

No wonder this buffoon has only received the endorsement of just a few Congressman from his own party. And why would anyone want someone like Trump to be President?

a reply to:AVoiceOfReason:

Per a leading statewide Los Angeles Times poll of a representative sample of the voters in California most likely to vote in the June Republican primary, Donald Trump now only has a 1% lead over Ted Cruz, and 75% of that state's viewers have an unfavorable impression of The Donald now.

As California awards delegates per it's many separate districts and is not a strictly winner take all election, the above would mean that Trump will not be able to walk away from that huge primary with enough delegates to put him over the top prior to the July Republican Convention, and Cruz was never really in the running to be able to go over the top after California's primary in the first place.

It is therefore beginning to look more and more like we are going to have a brokered convention after all and a greater likelihood that the party will turn to someone other than Trump as it's nominee.

A brokered convention will not turn to the highly disliked tea party religious zealot and disingenuous Cruz as an alternative to Trump either. Ultimately they could look to Gov. Kasich, Paul Ryan, or even Mitt Romney.

My endorsement goes emphatically to Gov. Kasich since he is clearly the best man for the job and for America out there today!

a reply to: JonjJonj:

Tommy Thompson, Wisconsin's longest serving governor, has now endorsed Gov. John Kasich for President on the eve of that state's important Republican Primary scheduled for April 5th according to Bloomberg Magazine. This endorsement will hopefully help Gov. Kasich accumulate more delegates in this important primary, and will result in less delegates going to the potential dictator and ignoramus, Trump.

The latest polls now show John Kasich only 2% behind Trump and indicate the Governor of Ohio is 2% ahead of Cruz in a very tight race for Wisconsin's delegates as per Politico.

Once again, a brokered Republican Convention in July is becoming ever more likely, an opinion stated just today by Republican House Speaker, Paul Ryan.

a reply to:Willtell:

Donald Trump announced today that his daughter gave birth to a Jewish baby.

I presume, Mr. Trump, that now Israel will not be asked to pay for it's defense aid?

a reply to: CrazyWater:

Influential Wisconsin radio talk show host, Charlie Sykes, described Donald Trump today after interviewing him that this would be president sounded more like a 12th grade playground bully than like a serious candidate for the highest office in the land.

Trump himself said the interview was difficult, and it certainly indicates that "The Donald" is finding himself in trouble within this major Mid Western state where people don't like his foul language, or the way he insults women. Nor do they care for Trump's lack of any tangible concrete policies.

The fact he is behind both John Kasich and Ted Cruz in the Wisconsin polls bears this out!
