Great,

now Mexico will have to pay for the wall to stop illegal immigration of US citizens.

I will stick with the VA Healthcare.

I have been in their psych ward in Fayetteville NC so many times it's like a second home. My problem is, they change my meds and I am good for 6 months to a year. Why they stop working for me who knows. My wife catches it pretty fast so I don't mind going there.

Besides treaties, Congress, in the mid-1970s

passed acts basically reaffirming tribal sovereignty and healthcare. Indian health Care Improvement Act of 1976 is one. I doubt that Trump could get enough votes in Congress to change either sovereignty or healthcare.

What has transgender have to do with healthcare?

Oh, that's right. If Obama put it in, Trump will take it out.

I have never touched a Muslim woman

or an Orthodox Jewish woman. I do not talk to a married Muslim or Orthodox Jewish woman without first asking her husband if it is okay. I find that men from Turkey and Yemen tend to hug instead of shaking hands. If I know that I am going to meet someone from a country I am not familiar with I do research on their customs and beliefs. I don't care if they ever assimilate. That is up to them.

It is my understanding that if a VA patient

is taking pot for pain, physical or mental, they do not lose their VA healthcare.

Not CNN

Barbara Bush has died.

How about a little respect for her.

Trump is responsible for the death of a woman

partially sucked out the window of a plane. He is the only one responsible. Ask him. He claimed that he was responsible no American deaths on American airlines in America in 2017.

My sister had a degree in teaching

but never taught. She was a social worker. I have 23 credits from UC Berkeley in Russian but never went there. I had better training in Russian, 1400 hours in the classroom, than anyone with a BA. I could honestly say that I was a Russian linguist since that is what I was in the Army, 1963-1967. You are what you did, not what you studied.
