One Nation, which is controlled by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, is airing the ads as the second half of a $3 million ad buy aiming to build support for the politically explosive repeal of the health law. The group has already aired television ads in nine states, and is also spending money on digital, print and direct mail.

Alt right group from Australia is paying for the ads against our health care. WTF?

Remembering

Does anyone know which Trump aid was in Russia during the election? I remember an article about it and thought how was it allowed.

Out of control. Biggest threat to our security is Trump. We are being a victim of a flim flam man.

Kasich wants teachers to encourage students not to get an education. Where the hell are these jobs that dont require a degree? Wendys and McDonalds. These asses send thier children to ivy league schools. I remember being told by a republican leader in Ohio that I should not have been allowed to go to college because that was for their children and I should not be allowed to take a high paying job from one of thier children.

No investigation?

Chaffetz and others say no investigation. That Flynn served in military and not a politician so that makes it okay. So I looked up military personnel who have worked with Russia in the past. John Walker, Naval Warrant Officer, James Hall, US Army Signal Intelligence Warrant Officer, Col. George Trofimoff, Retired Army Reserve Colonel 25 years, David Sheldon Boone ,Army, Harold Nicholson, Army, William Millay, Army, Canadian Navy Officer Sub Lt Jeffery Paul Delisle, and not least Benedict Arnold(England). Other State Dept., CIA and FBI employees. Why the difference?

Other parks are tweeting out after the Badlands. I am worried about the republicans getting rid of our parks.

The Wall

http://www.npr.org/programs/all-things-considered/
On All things considered, Ari Shapiro interviews Mike Vigil a DEA agent with 30 yr experience. Ari asks him about the wall trump wants to build to help stop drugs. Mr. Vigil said it was nonsense. How could medieval technology work with todays tech? He then says ultra light with a lawn mower engines could deliver right over the wall.
This made me think about a news report I heard long time ago about a tunnel network that had been built. Makes me think that money would be better put to use else where. Wait until the trumpers find out they are going to be footing to bill for it.
I can remember the republicans crowing about tearing down the Berlin wall just to build it here?

Art

One of the steps a dictator does is to attack art. Since art is part of the culture and acts as a kind of barometer for the situations that are shaping the culture. There was a discussion about this in an art class at college, that was years ago. Seeing this headline brought back what the teacher of the class said. The teacher was the curator at a museum. I see lots of little things that are putting together a very ugly big picture.
