Desperate to keep insurers on board, the administration scrambled to find another pot of money. Unfortunately, once again, a big part of that money pot belongs to the public.
President Obama doesn't seem to care. On Feb. 12, the administration announced that the money will be handed out to insurers -- a whopping $7.7 billion this year alone.
But it's not just expensive: That huge handout to the insurance industry is also illegal.

So much for Trump's supposed "35% ceiling".
A lot of folks may say there are no Republicans in MA, but in 2014 it elected a GOP governor, so the right GOP candidate can win statewide.
A black female Harvard law professor is so panicked about Hillary losing to Trump that she is pleading with Democrats to reregister as Republicans and vote for Rubio in next week's primary. WZ has the full story.
I think there are a lot of closet Trump voters, especially in blue/purple states like MA, PA, NY and CA. If Trump can carry MA, and I think he can, we could be looking at nearly a 50 state Trump blowout over Hillary in the general election.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging leading Republican presidential candidates behind Donald Trump to unite in an effort to bring down the GOP front-runner.
"I think a Kasich-Rubio ticket would be great," Graham said late Sunday during an interview with Rita Cosby on WABC, describing Kasich as a "terrific" governor of Ohio and Rubio as a "very, very talented" senator from Florida.
"Rubio-Kasich, Kasich-Rubio - I think those combinations, if they could consolidate and come together, would be [a] very potent ticket in the fall and maybe help us stop Trump".
Note: Stopping Trump -- not stopping the Democrats.

==========
We were told, in 2012, that a Northeast liberal Republican was the only possible man who could stop Obama.
Now, in 2016, a Northeast liberal Republican is the worst thing ever.
Several of the states voting on Tuesday have a winner-take-all if you break 50%.
Trump pulls that off and there is a 0% chance anyone else wins the nomination.
That is:
50 in AL
76 in GA
43 in OK
155 in TX
16 in VT
That's almost half of the delegates on Tuesday; with the rest awarded in a proportional manner.
Posted by: RoyalOil at February 22, 2016 11:19 AM (fQ/0p)
Dondi says that 70% of Republicans don't want Trump, but Trump will get over 40% of Nevada tomorrow. If Dondi gets less than 20% does that mean that more than 80% of Republicans don't want Dondi?
Lines of attack:
How Marco pimped out his wife to Rubio's billionaire sugar daddy, who put her on payroll at a ridiculously high salary for a former professional cheerleader.
How Marco stabbed Jeb, his mentor, in the back. If it weren't for sugar daddy and Jeb, Marco would be nowhere.
Marco's lack of any real world experience, other than being a self-promoting politician I can see Trump saying: "Marco, how are you going to provide for that nice family of yours when you lose. You lose your Senate seat. You're unqualified for anything. You haven't had a real job in your entire life. OK, maybe you can be a lobbyist."
And birtherism. Rubio's got a bigger problem than Cruz, because neither of his parents were citizens when he was born in Miami. In fact, here's the dilemma: I don't see how both Rubio and Cruz can both be President Eligible, else your reading "natural born citizen" out of the Constitution, If they add balls, CNN should ask Cruz for his learned opinion on Rubio's eligibility Thursday night.

And the jock-sniffers for the GOPe are rubbing that stink all over themselves.
But the long and short of Rubiot's strategy to win is: "Cruz drops out and all of his votes go to me."
No.

Just win, baby!
Trump is a prodigy at working the media. He's shown that he can make a bigger Republican tent and thereby expand the electoral map, so that he can win in the general. No other Republican candidate has this upside.
Trump won't get 50 states, but I've said for months that Trump could challenge in NY. Obama just gave a boost by cutting NY's terrorism defense budget in half to diss Chuck Schumer for opposing the Iran nuke giveaway (what a small petty man).
The orthodox here don't like that Trump won't categorically denounce Planned Parenthood and says he won't let people die in the streets for lack of healthcare. I suggest he's doing so to stake out defensible ground in the general to oppose obvious lines of attack from the Democrats, e.g. War on Women, heartless rich plutocrats.

Possibly, because he is enough like them that they know what he's going to do if he wins: put his own people in positions of power within the party. They have set up the national party as a crony system, and they know he will exploit it by firing their favorites in favor of his own.

Indeed. Rubio will pick up at least half of the Jeb votes, but he'd pick up a lot less of the Carson voting bloc. Rubio can still complain that Kasich is siphoning votes, but if we really want to go there, why doesn't Trump drop out? If Trump called it off there is no way more than a quarter of his voters would put up with Rubio. Cruz would be through the roof as the only alternative to business as usual.
Can the Republican party please just do something for us? Stop nominating people who have never worked in the private sector. Just stop. We hate career politicians. Give us someone who's paid into the tax system and knows the sting. Give us someone who has been outside the establishment politiburo echo chamber. You'd think that would be clear after the last few cycles.

McCain worked the media by staking out positions to the left of his colleagues. Trump works the media by embracing controversy and using people's hatred of him for his own benefit.

These words don't mean much anymore when you've got D and R establishment types pushing for globalism and Trump responding with a more traditionalist nationalism.
It's a level up from historical left-right policy disagreement. It's a fight over whether Americans even have a procedural (or moral) right to participate in the political system. The formerly American, soon to be globalist, currently fractured political system.

Why does the GOPe hate him so much? Because he's not in their
pocket? Because he would more closely align with their views than any
conservative.
I think it's a new money/gentry thing. He isn't a politician in the political class. He is, to their sensibilities, a loud crass boor. He is the Molly Brown to their John Astor.

I think another huge reason for Trump being immune to any attacks is the media.
The media for so long has so blatantly attacked the Republicans that they have no credibility now among conservatives.
So, when all these mouthpieces get up and pound the desk and shout that "Trump is not a conservative!!" and list off all of his liberal sins, millions of us are conditioned to say, "Them lying bastards are just lying again."
And, I've said before, when I read the news about Trump, the guy bothers me.
When I hear his actual, unfiltered speeches, I _like_ the guy.
That reinforces the supporters--they hear what he is saying and then they see all of the media--left and right--saying something completely different.

Opera is OK, but the best replacement for Firefox is the Pale Moon browser, because it is built on the same engine as the old Firefox, before it got bloated (and before Mozilla stuck the shiv in Brendan Eich). It looks and works exactly like the old Firefox, and most of the FF add-ons work, although there are now Pale moon-specific versions of those add-ons available. And they provide a tool to import your "profile" and bookmarks. About as easy as it gets. Except the tool didn't work for me, and I had to manually copy over my profile, which wasn't hard.

So much for Trump's supposed "35% ceiling".
A
lot of folks may say there are no Republicans in MA, but in 2014 it
elected a GOP governor, so the right GOP candidate can win statewide.
A
black female Harvard law professor is so panicked about Hillary losing
to Trump that she is pleading with Democrats to reregister as
Republicans and vote for Rubio in next week's primary. WZ has the full
story.
I think there are a lot of closet Trump voters, especially
in blue/purple states like MA, PA, NY and CA. If Trump can carry MA,
and I think he can, we could be looking at nearly a 50 state Trump
blowout over Hillary in the general election.

Since Rubio's sad little cheerleaders desperately plug last year's heroic maneuver to block one sort of lawless $$$ shenanigans by the administration to keep O-care afloat, you'd think, maybe, that their candidate (or *somebody*, maybe an opposition party member of Congress, we have those, don't we?) would be making legit hay over this latest outrage. And actually doing something.
Well, you'd think.
(nothing wrong with Rubio's action on this last year, and not really his fault that the main effect of his maneuver was to highlight both how lawless the country now is and how pathetically ineffectual the GOP has been at doing anything about it, hell even bringing attention to it)

Some people here, for example, actually believe Trump could take MA or NY. They see him as a great candidate in the general.
I, OTOH, do not think he has a decent chance in Virginia. I think he is the ONE candidate (now that Bush is gone) who is almost guaranteed to hand the WH to the Bitch.
None of us are clairvoyant. None of us KNOWS.
We make our guesses, wild or studied.
But the guess that we make influences our view of his candidacy.

So much for Trump's supposed "35% ceiling".
A
lot of folks may say there are no Republicans in MA, but in 2014 it
elected a GOP governor, so the right GOP candidate can win statewide.
A
black female Harvard law professor is so panicked about Hillary losing
to Trump that she is pleading with Democrats to reregister as
Republicans and vote for Rubio in next week's primary. WZ has the full
story.
I think there are a lot of closet Trump voters, especially
in blue/purple states like MA, PA, NY and CA. If Trump can carry MA,
and I think he can, we could be looking at nearly a 50 state Trump
blowout over Hillary in the general election.

They want illegal immigration stopped, and they want someone that is not a professional politician. That's just the way it is this time out.

I've been satisfied with Opera.

It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. Once I turned off the turbo bullshit everything went back to normal.

"He made the Supreme Court a more rigorous place - more precisely, he required the court and litigants to focus on the actual meaning of Constitution and the meaning of the statutes before the court."
Leaving aside that Scalia "required" nothing, being only one of nine, behold the surreal state of America's institutions. Performing its only legitimate or defensible function - which it clearly doesn't most of the time - is something that has to be forced on it (and, again, obviously wasn't, outside a few cases) by one extraordinary individual.

My bank charged me $30 for making too many transfers between savings and checking. I found this odd, and exhorbitant, and also stupid. So I wrote customer service.
This I got:
" In response to your inquiry, Federal Regulations limits the number of electronic transfers that are made from a savings account to six per statement cycle. This includes telephoneonline transfer debits, any preauthorized transfer debits, and ACH debits from the savings account.
Once you have reached your six transfer limit for the statement cycle, a fee of $10 will be incurred to your account for each additional transfer debit. The excessive transfer fee applies only to savings and money market accounts. If a transfer needs to be made and to avoid this fee, please use an ATM or step into a local branch."
WTF? There's a Federal Regulation that says I have to go to the bank instead of using the interweb?
Why? I don't even know whose purpose that serves. A way for banks to gin up fees in an interest-free world?

Oh, yeah. Because they KNOW that a GOP president will want all the wimmins barefoot and pregnant.
Maybe. I know Obama has managed to do that each time, but that's his one and only actual gift, to organized people and get them motivated. Not everyone, but his constituent base. Obama was able to get people who never used to vote to actually get up and go to the polls, thus swelling the 30% or so Democrat sure thing to around 40%.
Without him? I don't know if that happens again. Maybe it will, maybe the culture has shifted that much. Maybe he'll put in the effort for the nominee, even though he gains nothing from it and it takes away from his me-time.
We'll see, I guess.

These guys have made up their minds and the facts are simply irrelevant. The truth is, when that clause was written, very few people had actually been born in the USA that were old enough to run for office. Most of the people here were immigrants. The founders knew that (it gives an exception for a few decades to reflect that fact). Even the ones who were born here were almost certainly born to immigrants who recently came to the USA.
And back then, there was no immigration service, no special method of becoming a citizen, because there was no USA until after the war. So even people "naturally born" in the US were born to what we'd call non-citizens today. This is how we get original intent: the meaning and definition used and desired at the time of the writing.

Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the
following as people who are citizens of the United States at birth:
* Anyone born inside the United States *
* Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a
citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of
the tribe
* Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are
citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen
and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a
U.S. national
* Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
* Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage
cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not
provided by age 21
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien
and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in
the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service
included in this time)
* A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of
an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President.

This whole thing is a giant clusterfuck. It's my understanding that the actual phone in question is, and always has been, the property of the CA gov't agency that employed the jihadi scum, and CA isn't opposing the motion to decrypt the phone.
Apple seems to claim that they would have to write an OS update to turn off the decryption blocker, and that would then compromise all other iPhones. Well, yeah, if that update were released. So they have more or less acknowledged that it can be done. Which means their vaunted security is now mostly illusory, anyway.
I don't see why they couldn't put the phone, Apple's coding team, the FBI team, and some selected neutral observers on board a ship or some remote Pacific isle without cell service or other means of propagating an OS update, let them crack the phone, extract the information, and then destroy the phone, and all media used to write the OS update and enter it into the phone; all under the watchful eyes of the aformentioned observers.

That is completely wrong. In fact, the test of natural born citizenship has never made it through the courts and there is no "law" detailing exactly what a natural born citizen is because the Congress does NOT have the power to define "natural born citizen", being first level Constitutional language. You do understand that Congress is not allowed to define first level Constitutional terms, since, if it could, it could easily amend the Constitution through redefinition.

yeah, I think that is right on citizenship. But for president, the original text still holds, afaik. iirc that included parents (or actually maybe just the father, per Coulter) had to be a citizen. They could be new citizens, but not "illegals", or even legally here but not citizens.
I think it was Kim something that decided the kid was a citizen because the Chinese parents were here legally. Even though they moved back. But "natural born citizen" is not the only requirement for president.

That was Wan Kim Ark who was born in the US and whose parent were legal immigrants who decided to move back to China. When he decided to come back to the US he was denied entry due to the new Chinese exclusion laws. The court ruled that he was in fact a US citizen being born in the US to legal parents. The subject of "natural born" was never brought up at that time. But it is now covered by Title 8 of the US Code above.

All the sources routinely used to interpret the Constitution confirm that the phrase "natural born Citizen" has a specific meaning: namely, someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time. And Congress has made equally clear from the time of the framing of the Constitution to the current day that' subject to certain residency requirements on the parents, someone born to a U.S. citizen parent generally becomes a U.S. citizen without regard to whether the birth takes place in Canada, the Canal Zone, or the continental United States.

The whole point of the elaborate procedure is to do it such a way that "the government" demonstrably never has possession of the code-breaking method/software.
Anyone know anything about the physical architecture of iPhones? Does the phone's memory reside on the same physical chip as the OS? I'm wondering if you could extract the memory chip from the phone in question, and install it in an unlocked phone?
I wonder how long it would take the world-wide hacker community to find a way to break iPhone security if the U.S. government offered a million-dollar prize for a hack that would enable them to open the jihadiphone?

Point of this is that Rubio really has an issue, and that it's a bigger issue than Ted's. Now courts could read "natural born citizen" to make the issue go away, but they don't have to. Scalia wouldn't in my view.

Well it remains to be seen how far he has moved them, there's no doubt he has moved it for a sizable portion but he wasn't won yet, and I attribute most of that to the anger of the electorate and their choice of Trump as their destroyer not any great oratory power of Trump's.
Listen to his speeches or his debates. He says virtually nothing of substance, he just makes big promises that reflect very accurately a portion of the electorate that is angry and feels ignored by the system. These aren't long held beliefs in many cases, they are election year conversions.
But there is no denying he has tapped into a deep vein of anger. How deep and how wide it is remains to be seen but I don't see the msm having the power to knock him out. His supporters tell us that on a daily basis.

It went well (turned out the Corsair, like many aircraft not designed for the task, was a good bomber). But the squadron commander understandably got antsy about having the most famous person alive, and a civilian, flying combat missions against an enemy that was shooting real ammo and that was not Geneva-compliant in its treatment of POWs.

I think you've got it backwards. They want you to have your money in the savings account (where it's harder for you to get to) so that they have more available to invest at any point in time.
Since the fee for moving money between accounts isn't very well advertised (see the reason we're having this conversation), the bank gets you to put money where you can't get to it. Because you're saving! Saving money is important! Just put that money over here in the box labeled "Savings."

Addicted to ratings, plus they think he's a crazy nutjob. I am sure that they have a lot more oppo than we can even imagine.
That being said, I have never before seen so many successful "do-overs" for Trump as a result of him saying stupid stuff. If they focused only on his initial remarks (e.g. Planned Parenthood) and never interviewed him about it or at least challenged him in his version of what he was really trying to say, that would win half the battle of defeating Trump.
But no, time after time they give him the opportunity to completely revise his true thoughts into complete deniability or a more acceptable/convoluted version acceptable to the TrumpBase.

They said I could avoid them if I went into a branch or used an ATM. Now, an ATM transaction has about the same marginal cost as an online transaction, which is to say virtually none.
But there's a Federal Regulation saying they have to charge me for more than 6 online savings withdrawals.
It's enough to make one a libertarian. Good God, under which of the Enumerated Powers does the bureaucracy get to tell me to use an ATM instead of my phone?
I thought I was being disciplined by keeping limited amounts in checking and making myself consciously take from savings to spend more. Sheesh.

The best answer I've ever gotten is that it's protection from fraud in case your card gets stolen.
Still not a good explanation given that any bank worth it's salt offers fraud protection anyway.
Really, though, it's that lots of people are bad with money and if they have it at their fingertips all the time, they'll spend it on something stupid rather than something which they could actually use later.

Did you read the article on Guiliani today? He talked about being in contact with Trump and making some suggestions about his campaign. He said that there seem to be other folks that Trump is talking to about the issues and that he does seem to take advice. (Yes I know Guiliani wasn't successful running for President. He still has insights).
I think we are all pretty familiar with what our culture is like now and how little real education goes on in the schools these days. If you want to make your argument for your candidate, then talk about what he would actually do. Cruz might have better true con supreme court picks, but I see no way in hell he'd ever get one confirmed, if elected. And I don't see how he can get elected if he doesn't start trying to court all those non-conservative voters out there.

Just because we've had seven years of a lazy incompetent destructive progressive sh!t-for-brains president doesn't mean we suddenly have to swing the pendulum all the way to wanting the return of the impotent head-up-the-ass domestic security doctrine we had before 9/11.

If memory serves, the 6 withdrawal limit from a Savings account has been there a while. I recall learning about it in Business Law classes circa 1981.

I haven't seen the correlation.
Also, I've hated Trump since Marco was 12 years old.

Scots are a tough bunch, though, all kidding aside.
Romans send a patrol up into the lands of the Pictae - the blue-painted heathen forebears of the Buckfast-addled welfare addicts who fill the place today. Patrol returned, and reported:
"Land is marshy and cold; little agriculture, mostly pastoralism, no towns or cities of any appreciable size."
"And what about the people?"
"Wild, vicious, bearded lunatics."
"And their women?"
"Those were the women, sir."

Yup.
Great article on what Cruz needs to do.
People want a bastard this time around. They want their bastard in the White House. Someone who will stand strong with them.
Not another limp dishrag from the GOPe.
I also agree that Carson's been a weasel prick obsessing on a loss that was through his lack of effort. And Cruz owes him nothing, much less another apology.
Looks like Obsessive Stabby Ben never really went away.
He needs to go back to where he really is a great man- neurosurgery. And stop ruining his own reputation.

I'm a Cruz supporter and will never vote for Trump.
Posted by: stace at February 22, 2016 01:40 PM (ozZau)
But we have had Trump shut down the War on Women meme by pointing out Hillary's behavior. And we've now had the Bush Lied, People Died line of attack shut down. And there's that report, which I discredit but really hope is true, that 25% of Federal employees would consider changing jobs if Trump wins.
Please, let me know what you have that Cruz can point to as an accomplishment so far.

I have heard about"Brave" and I like the idea that Brendan Eich, the guy who was hounded out of Mozilla is in charge there but it seems to be in Beta and I don't feel like being part of the test team.
The main consideration is that many of the ads that run on Ace's site seem to be actively malevolent. A browser that would just show the ads without running all their tracking and malware scripts would be great.

Cruz also needs to make an example of Rick Tyler. If Tyler had any balls, he would resign.
Both of Cruz's spokespeople need to be yanked and replaced by conservative Stephanopoulos types - can't remember the woman's name but she's dreadful.

Fun fact: Hadrian's Wall served as the inspiration for The Wall in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels. Which everybody knows as the HBO show that's named after the first book.

I agree with what you are saying but will point out that Trump has only ever been and will never be anything but his own bastard.

The culture has degraded such that seeking and/or holding office, especially national-level office, is, in and of itself, proof that a given person is psychologically and morally unfit to hold public office.

As far as Carson going back to surgery, surgeons are medical athletes
and like any other athletes there comes a time when you are no longer as
good as you once were and it is time to look for a new career.
Posted by: obnoxious ahole at February 22, 2016 01:50 PM (MpvuV)
If I am recalling correctly, Carson retired from doing surgery in 2013 so he probably is just going to go fishing (or whatever) when he drops out.

That is similar to what my older son said... anyone who actually wants to hold office ought to be automatically disqualified from hold office.
Posted by: redbanzai at February 22, 2016 02:01 PM (OrI3J)
Carson doesn't have to do surgery.
There are plenty of med schools that would love to have him as either a teacher or visiting professor.
His experience is beyond value.
