  1. Big money buys politicians to do there bidding . Trump is the exception to that , who is just dangerous imo Only a great President could bring this chaos together.
  2. Can there ever be bipartisan statesmanship or continue with this toxic partisan politics ? That was the reason I supported John Kasich for president. Politics is a blood sport now , instead of doing what's good for the whole country, it's just selling out to special interests/lobbyists jmo As a Independent I would support a candidate who could bring the country together not tear it apart.
  3. Tyrod Taylor running again, says he has 'no limitations' http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000797770/article/tyrod-taylor-running-again-says-he-has-no-limitations
  4. Well Shady just eliminated himself from the team Leadership Council , he's not all in
  5. Russia has claimed the deaths of at least 70 people in an apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria were caused by a regime airstrike on a "terrorist" ammunition depot on the ground. The Russian defense ministry claimed on its Facebook page that a Syrian airstrike strike hit "workshops, which produced chemical warfare munitions" in the eastern outskirts of Khan Sheikhoun. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/05/middleeast/idlib-syria-attack/index.html can the truth be found ?
  6. He's tall enough and fast enough, 248lbs, to cover Gronk http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/derek-rivers?id=2558040
  7. According to Rolling Stone, White House staff state off-the-record that Obama and Putin had already privately agreed in principle to start peacefully relieving Assad of his chemical weapons by 5 September, days earlier than the 9 September 2013 public breakthrough. " On 23 June 2014, the last declared chemical weapons were shipped out of Syria for destruction." . On 18 August 2014, all of the most toxic chemicals had been destroyed offshore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Syria%27s_chemical_weapons Of course all was not destroyed , but he did do something. Trump is now President Beside Saudi support for rebels , how in the world could they have enough weapons and supplies for over 6 years of fighting against Assad, Russia,Iran ? Even if the rebels won , the country is destroyed and many millions of refugees gone , was it worth it? Obama’s Red Line, Revisited "the threat of military action and a surprise offer by Russia ended up achieving something no one had imagined possible: the peaceful removal of 1,300 tons of Syria’s chemical weapons " http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/07/obama-syria-foreign-policy-red-line-revisited-214059
  8. Good size OLB , at 44 maybe
  9. Blackwater founder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/blackwater-founder-held-secret-seychelles-meeting-to-establish-trump-putin-back-channel/2017/04/03/95908a08-1648-11e7-ada0-1489b735b3a3_story.html?wpisrc=nl_az_most&wpmk=1
  10. Lorenzo is a impressive speaker , now a leader with Kyle W. looking good so far. Impressed by McD presser also
  11. Hope McCoy has a good reason for being the only one not there. Happy to see Mr Big Stuff here and looks in condition.
  12. What Happened to the $2.6 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund? The answer is that the federal government has borrowed all of that trust fund money and spent it, https://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillmatthews/2011/07/13/what-happened-to-the-2-6-trillion-social-security-trust-fund/#47269d9e4947 that wasn't very nice
  13. It’s remarkable how low America places in health care efficiency: among the 48 countries included in the Bloomberg study, the U.S. ranks 46th, outpacing just Serbia and Brazil. Once that sinks in, try this one on for size: the U.S. ranks worse than China, Algeria, and Iran. The infographic below is based on a recent Bloomberg ranking of the most efficient countries for health care, and highlights enormous gap between the soaring cost of treatment in the U.S. and its quality and effectiveness. To paraphrase Ricky Ricardo, the American health care system has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/29/most-efficient-healthcare_n_3825477.html
  14. Better care for a lot less , hmm Health Care Around the World: Taiwan & Its ‘World’s Best’ Medical System https://www.umhs-sk.org/blog/health-care-around-world-taiwan/Caribbean-Medical-Schools On March 1, 2015 Taiwan marked the 20th anniversary of its government-run single-payer National Health Insurance (NHI), a universal health coverage scheme that provides comprehensive health insurance Total health spending in Taiwan in 2013 was 6.63 percent of Taiwan’s GDP, In terms of cost-effectiveness, Taiwan’s system outperforms the U.S. system, which spends more than 17 percent of U.S. GDP but, before the ACA was passed in 2010, left some 50 million, or 16 percent of Americans uninsured. https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/taiwans-health-care-system-the-next-20-years/
  15. Kyle Sloter or Chad Kelly late rd lottery ticket
  16. If Trubisky is gone at 10 , and Zach Brown is not here , trade down and restock D early. Chad in late 5th rd I think Andre Holmes signing is the tall #2 WR that Taylor can find . Corey Washington is the other fast , 6'4'' WR the Bills signed. Taylor needs to keep throwing to Sammy and Clay primary.
  17. If the Bills go Receiver at 10 , I would go OJ if he is there jmo
  18. I think it was to find out if EJ could be a viable backup QB to re-sign here or release.
  19. Since most 1st world countries have universal health care , could we learn from there experience and eliminate the mistakes ? Universal health goes back a long way , cost is always a problem . Your pov is always welcome
  20. All Medicare patients being over 65 would mean a lot more medical services to administer then private younger age patients. I would think the combined young and old would bring that cost down , again jmo , nothing more
  21. Preston's contract is structured rather strange , $1.8M in 2017 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/preston-brown-14483/
  22. If the Bills become really good under McD , that would put Terry in a good mood about a new stadium with that timeline. If the Bill's record stays poor another remodel job
  23. This will be a very interesting draft to say the least. So many blue chip players available in the 1st rd or a QB lottery ticket Chad with the Bills late 5th rd is a safer pick for me jmo
  24. Ragland should be given enough time to recover from ACL and get back in condition. They need Preston at MLB till they are sure Ragland is 100% Without Zach Brown , yikes
  25. Medicare for All: Leaving No One Behind Creating a single, public insurance system will go a long way towards getting health care spending under control. The United States has thousands of different health insurance plans, all of which set different reimbursement rates across different networks for providers and procedures resulting in high administrative costs. https://berniesanders.com/issues/medicare-for-all/ This makes the most sense to me. Then have Pell grants to pay for medical school, and nursing to offset less pay under medicare charges. jmo I know it would never happen.
