Political

Don’t worry I’m not turning leaves but on this issue President Obama was right and as painful as it is to say President Trump is wrong.  President Obama don’t go on gloating about it because it took 8 months for you to agree to open up the White House visitor logs to the public so this President can change his mind even before you. The President works for all the people so all the meetings he has with individuals should be open to the public. Of course if there is a national security concern that information can be withheld for a reasonable amount of time (30- 90 days ) yet if we are to have transparent government  we must insure that the basic information on how it operates is open to all.  Details of such visits and discussions can be withheld but that they occur shouldn’t.  President Trump is time to turn that frown upside down and reverse course on such an action you still have several months to beat President Obama on this as well.

Before Paul Ryan hands Donald Trump another “oops moment” maybe he should break up the America’s Health Care Act into the various letters/parts it’s made up and let each part be voted up and down by the Congress. These separate votes would occur all on the same day and the parts that passed would go to the Senate to vote on in reconciliation and the parts that failed could be tried again.  By having such votes health care reform will truly move forward and our elected officials will be held accountable for their direct votes by the American people. Here are some of the individual votes that should occur.

(A) Individuals and corporation can buy healthcare plans across state lines.

(B) Groups can make up their own health insurance pacts (farmers, gun right owners,  actors, etc) which would cover their specific needs.

(C) Medical Malpractice lawsuits would be capped on punitive expenses.

(D) No Mandates on the insurance packages one may get but full disclosure of provisions absent and possible cost must be clearly discussed with individual and/or companies.

(E) Repeal Obamacare

After  President’s Trump phenomenal speech to Congress and the American people it’s time the Democratic Congressional obstructionist fold their cards,  They must learn to  work for their employees the citizens so they can survive this political game.  Just remember one great speech by a State Senator lead to his trip to the White House only a few years ago and this speech might lead this President to successes even the lame street media won’t be able to stop. If these successes occur without you then the American people might declare your party null and void as your chips are spent away in only a few years.  It is true that you might find a casino in New York, California or Vermont but that is not where the big game of politics is played anymore.  So you can either join the train and add your thoughts as well as ideas to make America great again or watch it run as your party is passed by in 2018 and beyond.

FURTHER NOTE- Russia won’t save you.

If Keith Ellison is elected as the Democratic Chairman then every Jewish Democrat and sympathizer should stop funding the Democratic party till at least 7/4/17 . Don’t worry the Democratic Party won’t fall apart but at least it will get the message that even if Mr. Ellison’s Anti-Semitic remarks were of the past that we won’t take it in the future.  I’m speaking as a Conservative Tea Party member of the Jewish faith who would never accept that from a leader of my party. It’s time we send a message that hate is unacceptable and stands above ideologue.

While the Democrats threaten to filibuster President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch the Nuclear option is being considered yet I believe a less explosive option should be considered. The nuclear option would allow the Senate to confirm Trumps pick for the Supreme Court with only 51 votes, which is exactly what the Republicans have in the senate plus one, instead of the 60 currently agreed upon. I say compromise in the middle and make it 54.  Allowing the number to be 54 would mean that  two Democrats would have to vote in favor of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and with many of their seats up for competitive elections in 2018 I believe 2 would make the switch.  If of course the two Democrats decided not to vote in favor of the nominee then the Senate could go nuclear but at least a good effort of bi-partisan compromise could be met first without blowing the whole thing up….yet.
