You got any evidence to support that? Stop making things up.

It's instructive to recall that Trump actually claimed he had an Obamacare alternative that was just about ready to go even before his inauguration. Trump vows ‘insurance for everybody’ in Obamacare replacement plan January 15, 2017 at 10:00 p.m. EST President-elect Donald Trump said in a weekend interview that he is nearing completion of a plan to replace President Obama’s signature health-care law with the goal of “insurance for everybody,” while also vowing to force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government on prices in Medicare and Medicaid. Trump declined to reveal specifics in the telephone interview late Saturday with The Washington Post, but any proposals from the incoming president would almost certainly dominate the Republican effort to overhaul federal health policy as he prepares to work with his party’s congressional majorities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-vows-insurance-for-everybody-in-obamacare-replacement-plan/2017/01/15/5f2b1e18-db5d-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html The Health 202: Trump keeps missing his own deadlines for a 'tremendous' health care plan https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/08/04/health-202-trump-keeps-missing-his-own-deadlines-tremendous-health-care-plan/

False The Secret Service is not responsible for securing those documents nor did it do so at Mar a Lago or anywhere else.. It's responsible for protecting the person of the President and whoever qualifies for its protection. "On page 5, it explicitly states that not only was the Secret Service not responsible for protecting the documents, the agency was not even informed of their presence at the property: The United States Secret Service (the “Secret Service”) provided protection to TRUMP and his family after he left office, including at The Mar-a-Lago club, but it was not responsible for the protection of TRUMP’s boxes or their contents. TRUMP did not inform the Secret Service that was storing boxes containing classified documents at The Mar-a-Lago club." What's more, what you don't seem to understand is that Trump isn't being prosecuted for having possession of these documents. It's for being knowingly in possession of them. That's the violation. He knew that he had them and still kept them. Subsequently, because he allegedly lied about being in possession of classified documents, he was also charged with obstruction of justice.. Despite which, the National Archives negotiated with Trump for months to gain possession of the documents in Trump's possession rather than asking for the participation of the Justice Dept. It was only when it was learned that Trump might be in possession of classified documents that the Justice Dept was called in.

I'm not sure how addressing the supply chain issue has much if any relevance to the current situation. It was clearly relevant back when inflation was surging. But that surge is largely over. The pandemic created an increased demand for goods (as opposed to services) that was exacerbated by a depleted work force necessary to create those goods. Bottlenecks at ports made the situation worse. So this looks more like a preparing a preventative effort in case such a situation arises again.

Even if Obamacare were responsible for this dodge, prescription drugs were only 1 part of the whole health care picture. Here's a graph showing how health expenditures have increased over time. You'll note that despite the fact that a lot more Americans were being covered both by insurance and Medicaid. health care expenditures didn't change their trajectory after Obamacare was instituted. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/u-s-spending-healthcare-changed-time/#Total national health expenditures as a percent of Gross Domestic Product, 1970-2021 As for premiums being higher, given that Obamacare was created in large part to give insurance to those with preexisting conditions, that was inevitable. However, there are subsidies available and these have been greatly increased under the Biden administration. And keep in mind that most Americans get their health insurance either from Medicare of employer health plans.

This is from a NY Times interview with Phil Klay: "There are people who feel like you cannot acknowledge, or shouldn’t acknowledge too much, horrors that are not ideologically convenient. This is why you’ll have the Palestinian National Initiative on CNN, speaking thoughtfully about the suffering of Palestinians but then denying that Hamas targets civilians, which is an insane thing to say. There was a debate in Dissent, the left-wing publication, about whether Israeli casualties should be considered “pregrieved” because their deaths will be used as a justification for whatever actions the I.D.F. takes. At the same time, if you listen to more neoconservative commentators, they feel aggrieved that the mainstream media is covering the widespread deaths of Palestinian civilians — as if that’s not a valid news story. People urgently want you to feel the moral horror of what is happening, but within a circumscribed circle. I think that is morally blinkered." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/26/magazine/phil-klay-interview.html Of course, it isn't only neoconservative commentators who take a partisan approach to stressing Israel suffering over that of the Palestinians.

A few years back, the reporting side of the Wall Street Journal sent an open letter to the editorial side that asked them to please stop making things up. The editorial you cited is more of the same. Elizabeth Warren never said that Obamacare caused the insurance companies to pull this ploy. What she lamented was the fact that it couldn't. Now maybe you believe that a huge profitable opportunity like this would have been overlooked by insurance companies, if there was no Obamacare. I don't think so. Especially given the trend towards consolidation in the healthcare industry. It's eat or be eaten.

I've got some exciting news for you. The article I linked to is about B2U.

It certainly says everything we need to know about your appetite for irrelevance. Not only is it a going concern, but it's not the only company doing this. Isn't there a company called Apple located in California? And I believe a locale called Silicon Valley is located somewhere within its borders.

Actually, this was to be expected. Children were isolated during the pandemic so exposure to these viruses was delayed. The pathogens are just making up for lost time. so to speak.

It has an impact on the medical system in general. But what's it got to do with Obamacare specifically?

I don't know how long ago you used Obamacare, but the Biden administration greatly increased subsidies not just for lower income earners but middle-class people as well. It was entirely financed by raising taxes on wealthier Americans.

It's a problem that's easily fixable. Especially, if, as the WSJ editorial claims, there is bipartisan support for legislative change. And given that it's a WSJ editorial, they simply don't address the question of whether total medical costs are higher or lower than they would have been were there no Obamacare. Also useful to point out is that Republicans have succeeded for years in not allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. In the first 2 years of the Biden administration, legislation was passed that allowed for a limited scope for negotiation. But that hasn't taken effect yet.

Time shifting is one of the keys to the solar power revolution. It allows renewable energy created during one part of the day to be stored in batteries for use during a different part of the day. Traditionally, those batteries have consisted of new battery cells — either NMC or LFP. But one company in California thinks used EV battery packs are a simpler and more cost effective way to store electricity for later use. https://cleantechnica.com/2023/11/26/ev-batteries-are-perfect-for-storing-solar-power/

The same crazies who would believe that your statement actually constitutes some kind of supporting evidence.

The previous government is looking better and better.

New Zealand's new government says it plans to scrap the nation's world-leading smoking ban to fund tax cuts. The legislation, introduced under the previous Jacinda Ardern-led government, would have banned cigarette sales next year to anyone born after 2008. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in New Zealand, and the policy had aimed to stop young generations from picking up the habit. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67540190

But what was a secret is that it was claimed that this money was mostly passed on to charity. That turns out not to be true.

The king is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the north-west of England whose assets are secretly being used to upgrade a commercial property empire managed by his hereditary estate, the Guardian can reveal. The Duchy of Lancaster, a controversial land and property estate that generates huge profits for King Charles III, has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years under an antiquated system that dates back to feudal times. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/23/revealed-king-charles-secretly-profiting-from-the-assets-of-dead-citizens

In fact, Israel employs administrative detention on a routine basis. And Palestinians who aren't being held under administrative detention are mostly tried by military courts which (surprise surprise) have a near perfect conviction record. Israelis on the West Bank are tried by civilian courts. Even before the war, over a thousand Palestinians were being held in administrative detention. Why Israel imprisons so many Palestinians The result is that today, thousands of Palestinians, including hundreds of children, are held in Israeli custody on murky legal grounds — a problem that’s only gotten worse in recent years. Some human rights organizations have called out Israel’s military-imposed legal system in the West Bank as evidence that Israel is committing the crime of persecution, intentionally depriving Palestinians of their fundamental rights because of their ethnic identity. That’s why, even well before this war, the release of these prisoners has been a key Palestinian demand in negotiations with Israel. https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/22/23972908/palestinian-prisoners-israel-administrative-detention

More trolling nonsense from you. And as for Ron DeSantis' military experience, he served as a lawyer DeSantis’ Military Service as Navy Lawyer for SEAL Commander https://www.factcheck.org/2023/08/desantis-military-service-as-navy-lawyer-for-seal-commander/

As for it raining "all the time in Ireland. What does that even mean? I hope you don't mean it literally. ,Anyway, the question is not whether or not Ireland has a rainy climate but how rainy. How often do the rains flood the fields to such an extent that they render the potato crop useless? Has the frequency of that occurrence increased? As for the definition of a flood zone, why do you persist in making things up when the internet provides a way to access accurate information? A flood zone is not where" floods happen every year". Do you think insurers would ever have insured homes in a flood zone if they were getting flooded every year? What Does Flood Zone Mean? A flood zone is a designated area that has a certain degree of risk for floods. These zones are often near sources of water, such as rivers, oceans, or lakes. https://www.insuranceopedia.com/definition/5400/flood-zone

No. It's because climatologists aren't saying it's the end of the world. It's just going to be one that's going to put a lot more physical stress on humans and a wide variety of fauna and flora.

The one big problem with those statistics is that most countries don't compute inflation the way the US does when it comes to housing costs. Measured the way that other nations do, and the US inflation is considerably below what most of the rest of the world including Europe is experiencing This is from the socialistic Wall Street Journal Measure It Differently, and Inflation Is Behind Us "U.S. core inflation—which excludes volatile food and energy—measured using the standard consumer-price index was 2.6 percentage points higher than the European-style inflation, known as the harmonized index of consumer prices... The main reason is that Europe’s measure, known as HICP, doesn’t include the imaginary cost of what a homeowner would pay to rent their house, which makes up about a third of the U.S. core CPI... Exclude something that no one actually pays, and the weight of which in the index is calculated from guesses by homeowners of the rental value of their house, and core inflation is looking basically fine, at just 2.3%. https://www.wsj.com/articles/measure-it-differently-and-inflation-is-behind-us-6a6a89c1 And since then inflation in the US has declined further.

Maybe, just maybe, that's because the jurors in the case weren't chosen by voir dire but were rather elected representatives. As for the Democrats not finding their evidence to be honest or factual, what evidence exactly are you referring to? An impeachment committe should be informed after there is evidence as was the case with the Democrats. Invoking the possible of impeaching via a fishing expedition is nonsense.
