Jeremiah WrightAnd here's a nugget that turns the thought that he's simply anti-white on its head: "Long before there was a red, white and blue colonization, the Egyptian government was doing colonization. They colonized half the continent of Africa, they colonized parts of the Mediterranean. All colonizers ain't white. Turn to your neighbor and say "oppressors come in all colors." Hello, hello, hello."

The federal deficit is now 17% higher than it was at the end of the last fiscal year, according to figures the Treasury Department released this week — but that just begins to tell the story of all the red ink we've been building up. Here's how the deficits have grown, shrunk, and grown again over the last 58 years.Clear Mind Politicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09655217703986862223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076279425476834111.post-48064204674469405622018-11-15T15:26:00.000-05:002018-11-15T15:26:32.407-05:00The ACA has helped, not hurt, the health care industry<a href="https://graphics.axios.com/2018-10-17-health-stock/images/2018-10-17-health-stock-desktop.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://graphics.axios.com/2018-10-17-health-stock/images/2018-10-17-health-stock-desktop.png" width="320" height="140" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="350" /></a>
Winners: Health insurers. The stock price of Centene, a major Medicaid and ACA marketplace insurer, has multiplied by 12 times or 1,100%. Shares of UnitedHealth Group have jumped by more than 700%.
Insurers weathered cuts to Medicare Advantage and new requirements forcing them to cover sick people, but in return they got millions of taxpayer-subsidized customers through Medicaid expansion and the individual marketplaces.
Wall Street analysts say investors and companies were afraid the ACA was going to hurt the profitability of employer plans and Medicare Advantage.

<p>
“The fact that we have to talk to you about Syria or other matters is very different from issuing an invitation,” Gowdy said on “Fox News Sunday” of the Putin invitation, which the White House confirmed last week would be extended for the fall. “Those should be reserved for, I think, our allies.”

Lots of aid. Right now, or as soon as Congress can approve an appropriation.<br />
<br />
Although members of Congress from New York and New Jersey complain about the hypocrisy of Texas requesting federal aid, given the fact that the Texas congressional delegation almost unanimously opposed the federal aid package for Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the grousing amounts to nothing. With the suffering in Texas visible on every news show, America is too good to withhold support as political payback."<br /><br />
