If the Trump administration has a domestic policy doctrine at this point, it could be described as the following practice: the appointment of industry insiders to Cabinet-level positions in order to deregulate or otherwise surgically dismantle the protections of a given department.
In this spirit comes the announcement that Florida Senator Rick Scott intends to deliver on President Trump’s promise that the GOP “will soon be known as the party of health care.” On Thursday, Trump told reporters that Scott, and fellow Republican Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, will lead the party’s push on health-care reform.“They are going to come up with something really spectacular,” the president said.
If by spectacular, he means a cand... less

When I was 30 I met a gal who became a good friend and right off the bat she called me ROSIE! It stuck. If it were not for her I'd probably still be ROSEMARIE. I think I grew out of being Rosemarie and grew into being Rosie! Weird though. You'd think it would be the other way around right? Nickname when you're young and a PROPER name when you're old! But where's the fun in that? Where's the fun in being typical average ordinary strict bythebook PROPER when you're old. I wouldn't know. I'm not. Are you? less

To the extent the rugrat morphs into a responsible accountable "successful" human being then that will be the yardstick of the efficacy of the teacher. Your kid fails you sue the teacher. Your kid succeeds you don't sue the teacher. You have no intention of rewarding teachers for doing their job well. It is their job to do well. You only punish them for not doing the job.Sounds fair. Why any normal sensible rational logical human being would subject himself or herself to the wrath of lazy demanding insufferably hypocritical parents is beyond incomprehensible. But they do it because well they love teaching and they love "their kids". So much so that they even spend THEIR OWN MONEY to provide things for "their kids" that the school budget won't provide. So for teachers it isn't sink or swim. It is swim OR ELSE. That should satisfy all you anti-teacher folks out there. Get your pound of flesh. Get your satisfaction. SIGH. less

Checking the checker who checks the checker who checks the checker forever and ever? Even then every level could be corrupt. How would we ever find that out? Is it hopeless?

So he just rearranges reality to suit him and lives his life on his own terms in his own way and you'd dam* well had better support him 24/7 or he will vendetta you until you die. He is relentless vengeful and coming for YOU if you don't roll over whimper and ask for his protection. He doesn't give a rat's a** about anyone or anything. That's what you get to do when you are MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! What a wondrous life! What would we have done without him? One wonders about such things. WHAT IF is very powerful. less

Look at his attacks on Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, et al etcetera etcetera etcetera and so forth. It humiliates him to be reduced to a mere talking head nothingburger and so he WILL GET HIS REVENGE BY GAWD! NO FEDERAL AID FOR PUERTO RICO! That will show her who's in charge won't it? Big guy. Tough guy. Awesome dude ain't he just?

Fire destroyed it and with it all the knowledge/wisdom that had accumulated.There are feats of engineering that occurred THOUSANDS of years ago that present-day engineers/scholars cannot explain or I'm told even duplicate. With all our machinery and technology and state of the art thingies notwithstanding have we become dumber over time? Will we be completely dumb when our end comes? Is it usual or unusual for a species to dumb down not smarten up over time?. Do they end up dumber when they die than they were when they were born? I dunno. Do you? less

It's all about your end and what you want done when the time comes. I keep putting it off. I can't deal with it. That is ridiculous I know. But still there they sit. Blank. Expecting to be executed completely and turned in. And I ignore them. What is it? Do I think if we fill them out and turn them in we will die sooner? As I said it is ridiculous but there you are. It's not smart. It's not wise.It's embarrassing. SIGH. :( less

What will be improved?Clearly the Dondon is incapable of learning anything from his screwups. So his learning curve is nil since he never takes the trip to knowledge. It requires too much energy and he has told us he doesn't like to exercise physically because it takes too much energy.

So far it's just the normal usual toothless threats from the Threatener-in-Chief. TALK IS CHEAP. So what's it gonna be Dondon? PUT UP OR SHUT UP! Any time now. We are waiting with bated breath for your FINAL decision. What's it gonna be?

That if the border is shut tight avocadoes will disappear from California stores in THREE WEEKS. Also families travel back and forth for visits. Employees travel back and forth for their jobs. COMMERCE crosses the borders via trucks carrying goods to and from Mexico.So if that $5 million cost for FIVE HOURS is the average that is gonna be a he** uva a price to pay to keep out asylum seekers. But hey ya know whatever Dondon wants Dondon gets. Right? Can you freeze avocadoes? less

Something called PERMA FROST which never thawed is thawing and in so doing will be releasing noxious gases that have keep things frozens for hundreds of thousands of years. How do you stop it? They are going to be trying to slow it down. I don't understand how where it is coldest of all the warming is occurring twice as fast. Do you? Is the thawing of PERMA FROST areas a disaster than will do us in?

Does meditation get you there? Is that where we store the part of us that is the worst of us? Bury it deep so no one will notice? It's scary that something can be guiding you or impacting you silently 24/7. Isn't it? Another thing to worry about or naught? Do you ever wonder too what there is deep within you?
