Prolly a retardican upset about all the fake news being printed.

As usual, you libtards are wrong.

He's just a hippy criminal that didn't like his name and picture in the paper when they reported his crimes.

Annapolis Shooting Suspect Identified As 38-Year-Old Jarrod Ramos

According to an unreported 2015 opinion filed in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, Ramos pleaded guilty to criminal harassment in July 2011. Five days later, an article about the case appeared in The Capital, one of Capital Gazette's publications. The story detailed accusations by a woman who said Ramos harassed her online and off for months, calling her employer and trying to get her fired. The woman eventually went to the police and Ramos pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of harassment in 2011. -WIVB

This was a livestream presentation by Shipp that ended a short while ago that can now be played back. I cannot stress the importance of this presentation, this is not about party affiliation. It is about a CIA / FBI / etc (ses & british rule of this country is not addressed) that is out of control, and that is not healthy for ANY American. Shipp really doesn't start talking until the 15:10 mark. I have linked to start at that point, but it may not.

I have followed this from October. I have been demeaned many times for doing so. Whether it is true or a LARP will be proven soon enough. I have examined the proofs and was present in the threads for many if not most. Information is presented in a way not to violate Nat. Sec. and one must be very open to thinking outside the box & doing their own research to fully understand. Disinformation is a large part of this as it is mostly designed to make very worried people make very bad decisions & information to the public is very much a secondary goal of this op as the war starts to explode to the surface. We are very close to that point. False Flags like today will become more frequent as this occurs. Be aware of your surroundings.

I very much want to believe in this, but question where it leads, have concerns that this could be an effort to hold the population from rebelling without action, (but this makes little sense), and having concerns as to how much is too much regarding its end game. I hope this leads to the prosecution of 3 Presidents and at least one Secretary of State. Hopefully, It will lead a lot further. Sadly the most evil of the 4 last Presidents, GHWB - the architect and builder of most of the worst of the illegal operations, will probably escape the noose he so richly deserves.

Bottom Line: It would be foolish to ignore as a LARP. Only prudent to monitor. No one person can tell another what to believe, nor should they.

Only you can decide what truth to believe. It should be obvious after the immigrant children propaganda push by the DNC that you are being lied to by MSM.

We just need the stuff that US companies have made in Mexico. And lots of produce from there.
But for Trumps vision to come true we need lots of cheap labor from mexico.
The USA cannot compete in a global economy without lowering our lifestyles.

Just bought a genuine Delphi (Chevrolet OEM) AC comporessor for my blazer a few weeks ago. Made in China.
You know the Yeti coolers that cost a fortune? Made in China for quite a while.
Most rebuilt auto parts we buy are re manufactured in Mexico.
The new Chevrolet Blazer is going to be made in Mexico.

The United States Has a Deficit With Its NAFTA Partners


Canada, the United States, and Mexico are partners in the world's largest trade agreement, NAFTA. The trade deficit with Canada is $18 billion. That's only 3 percent of the total Canadian trade of $582 billion. The United States exports $282 billion to Canada, more than it does to any other country. It imports $300 billion. The largest export by far is automobiles and parts. Other large categories include petroleum products and industrial machinery and equipment. The largest import is crude oil and gas from Canada's abundant shale oil fields.





The trade deficit with Mexico is $71 billion. Exports are $243 billion, mostly auto parts and petroleum products. Imports are $314 billion, with cars, trucks, and auto parts being the largest components.

so why does Trump slap Tariffs on Canada when we are only 3% out of balance on trade with them? Because they do not like Trump?

Nope Trump did nothing. The FDA extended the time for the devices on the US market prior to 8-8-2016 to get their PMTA approval.
All devices introduced to the US market after 8-8-2016 are in violation of the regs.
And after the expiration of the extension all vape gear not on us market before 2007? that has not obtained a PMTA approval will be illegal to sell as well.
The extension apparently also extends the time till enforcement takes place.
All the FDA deeming regs are still there and will be enforced in 2-3 more years I think it is.
At that time vaping sales in the USA will pretty much end.
And supposedly even personal importation of vape gear not approved by the FDA is also banned.

The extension was primarily to give the FDA time to organize for the enforcement.
It was a much bigger thing than they had first figured.
At least that is my take on it.

Actually trump has 25% tariffs on imported Chinese vape gear in his plans.

I forget exactly... 2020 or something I think.
but in any case virtually all vaping sales in the USA is still on track to end in the not very distant future.
And from Trumps Tariffs on vaping stuff he is apparently not pro vaping.
And from the republicans proposed constitutional amendment in FL they are not for it either.
And at least 2 red states have banned indoor vaping statewide.
So I think it is foolish to think that the right will save vaping.
And we all know that more on the left is against vaping than those on the right.
But that is just 'more' still enough on the right are anti vaping that it looks bad for the future of vaping in the USA.

For myself personally I do not give a rats ass since I have enough vape hardware for the rest of my life. And have been 100% DIY on juice for over 3 years with enough nic in the freezer for the rest of my life as well.

A federal judge has blocked Kentucky's work requirements for Medicaid and has ordered the Trump administration to reconsider the program.


U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ruled the Trump administration did not adequately consider whether the work requirements and other changes would help the state give its residents access to health care. Because of that, Boasberg said the Trump administration's decision was "arbitrary and capricious."

Kentucky was the first state in the country approved to require some of its Medicaid recipients get a job or do some other type of work to keep their Medicaid benefits. The new rules were scheduled to take effect Sunday.

Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has vowed to eliminate Medicaid coverage for more than 400,000 people if his proposal is ultimately struck down.

Not sure. However KY has a high percentage of people on Medicaid. In areas that strongly support Trump and our Republican governor. Seems like the counties with the most people on Medicaid are the strongest right wing supporters :crazy:
Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

July 1st marks the start of the new program called "Kentucky HEALTH". The program is for certain non-disabled adults receiving medicaid. There are several components to the new program including community engagement. That aspect requires some adults to complete 80 hours a month either working, looking for a job, training, going to class, or volunteering. State leaders say they are strongly encouraging those who fall into the new program to visit a Kentucky Career Center to get plugged in.

"They will have a career coach come in and do an assessment. A job might be appropriate for someone but maybe they need a G.E.D. first so they'll connect them with an adult education program," said Secretary Adam Meier, with Cabinet for Health and Family Service.

There are some exceptions to the community engagement requirement. It is not required for medicaid recipients who are pregnant, medically frail, disabled, primary caregivers of a dependent, or former foster care youth up to age 26.

The work requirement aspect will roll out by counties or regions. It will first take effect in Campbell County, eventually stretching across the state. Most of central and eastern Kentucky will see the changes starting December 1st.

Note that there is no exemption based on age.

Medicaid in Kentucky
  • More than 1.2 million people in Kentucky are covered by Medicaid (22% of the total population). While seven in ten (74%) enrollees are children and adults, more than half (53%) of the state’s Medicaid spending is for the elderly and people with disabilities.
  • 194,100 (25%) of Kentucky’s Medicare enrollees are also covered by Medicaid, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of Medicaid spending.
  • 40% of all children in Kentucky are covered by Medicaid, including 52% of children with special health care needs.
My wife and I with just SS income do not qualify for Medicaid.
wife is on Medicare. I have a year to go and am paying around $600/mo for substandard ins.
need a hernia operation but the preop catscans and such would cost me over 2,000 so I am waiting till I get Medicare...
Do not even know how much the surgery and such would have cost me out of pocket.

So you're waiting until someone else will pay for it? Guess you don't need it all that badly then.
That is unusually assholiness for you.
Hanging with Time much?

I have paid into medicare most all my life. I am sure that you will decline both it and SSI when the time comes?

It becomes a choice of a roof over my head and stuff to eat vs having a hernia.
Which would you choose?

I conclude that you do not understand how insurance works?
Since your premiums often pay for services delivered to others. It is the business model for insurance.
If my premiums only paid for me I would have no issues since I have just used under 1 months premiums worth of services in 2 years worth of premiums of around $600/mo.

Medicare us not insurance... and even medicare only allows access to subsidized insurance.... but these are both paid for by other people's money that was taken by the government. Taxation.

Private insurance is paid for by customer premium pool. This pool also pays for Medicare and Medicaid. More Taxation.

Umnm not correct on several points.

From Medicare.gov.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for: People who are 65 or older. Certain younger people with disabilities. People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD)
........
Medicare supplemental insurance plans.
You might be able to save money with a Medicare Supplement insurance plan.Medicare Supplement, or Medigap, insurance plans fill in “gaps” in basic benefitsleft behind by Original Medicare, Part A and Part B, such as deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.

Just because the Government CALLS it insurance doesn't make it the same thing as Insurance or even insurance. There is no premium pool for one. Except in the supplementary markets.

That money that gets taken from my pay. And redirected to government .. is Called a voluntary contribution.. even though i have no choice.

For educational purposes. and to eliminate erroneous rhetoric.
From Medicare.com
As a Medicare beneficiary, you may need to pay certain out-of-pocket costs, such as premiums, deductibles, copayments and/or coinsurance. These costs are generally standardized for covered services under Original Medicare, Part A and Part B. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, your out-of-pocket costs may vary by plan.

A premium is the monthly amount you pay for your Medicare coverage or Medicare insurance plan. A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket each year before your Medicare plan begins sharing costs with you. (Your other out-of-pocket costs may include coinsurance and copayments.)

Premium and deductible amounts may change each year. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) usually publishes the Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B rates for the following plan year around the middle of October or November. Medicare-approved private insurance companies publish the new stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan and Medicare Advantage plan premium and deductible rates for the following year during the fall. If you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, the plan sends you a document called an Annual Notice of Change.

Medicare Part A premiums
Most beneficiaries over age 65 don’t pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part A coverage if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years (or 40 quarters) while working. In fact, according to CMS, most Medicare beneficiaries do not have to pay Medicare premiums on Part A because of their employment Medicare tax history. If you don’t qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A, you may have to pay up to $422 each month.

Medicare Part B premiums
The Medicare Part B premium is set each year by CMS. In 2018, the amount you pay may vary depending on your situation, including when you signed up for Part B.

Here’s how to help determine what you’ll pay for your Part B premium:

  • Most Medicare beneficiaries pay less than the standard Part B premium described below. If any of the following situations applies to you, you’ll generally pay the standard amount of $134.00 for your monthly premium:
    • You enrolled in Part B for the first time in 2018.
    • You aren’t currently receiving retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.
    • You’re a dual eligible (have both Medicare and Medicaid), and the Medicaid program pays for the cost of your premiums. If you qualify, your $134 premium is paid by the Medicaid program.

Just because the Government CALLS it insurance doesn't make it the same thing as Insurance or even insurance. There is no premium pool for one. Except in the supplementary markets.

For educational purposes. and to eliminate erroneous rhetoric.
From Medicare.com
As a Medicare beneficiary, you may need to pay certain out-of-pocket costs, such as premiums, deductibles, copayments and/or coinsurance. These costs are generally standardized for covered services under Original Medicare, Part A and Part B. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, your out-of-pocket costs may vary by plan.

A premium is the monthly amount you pay for your Medicare coverage or Medicare insurance plan. A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket each year before your Medicare plan begins sharing costs with you. (Your other out-of-pocket costs may include coinsurance and copayments.)

Premium and deductible amounts may change each year. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) usually publishes the Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B rates for the following plan year around the middle of October or November. Medicare-approved private insurance companies publish the new stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan and Medicare Advantage plan premium and deductible rates for the following year during the fall. If you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, the plan sends you a document called an Annual Notice of Change.

Medicare Part A premiums
Most beneficiaries over age 65 don’t pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part A coverage if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years (or 40 quarters) while working. In fact, according to CMS, most Medicare beneficiaries do not have to pay Medicare premiums on Part A because of their employment Medicare tax history. If you don’t qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A, you may have to pay up to $422 each month.

Medicare Part B premiums
The Medicare Part B premium is set each year by CMS. In 2018, the amount you pay may vary depending on your situation, including when you signed up for Part B.

Here’s how to help determine what you’ll pay for your Part B premium:

  • Most Medicare beneficiaries pay less than the standard Part B premium described below. If any of the following situations applies to you, you’ll generally pay the standard amount of $134.00 for your monthly premium:
    • You enrolled in Part B for the first time in 2018.
    • You aren’t currently receiving retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.
    • You’re a dual eligible (have both Medicare and Medicaid), and the Medicaid program pays for the cost of your premiums. If you qualify, your $134 premium is paid by the Medicaid program.
    • You’re billed directly for your Part B premium.
Your Part B premium could be higher than $134 if your income is higher than a certain amount (see table below).
