Albany’s Self-Inflicted Medicaid Crisis
Albany’s Self-Inflicted Medicaid Crisis:
"In 2020, the biggest headache facing Albany will be Medicaid, the state-run health plan that covers more than 6 million lower-income and disabled New Yorkers.
As revealed last month, Medicaid is running 16 percent over budget—opening a $4 billion deficit in the state’s current financial plan and contributing disproportionately to a $6.1 billion gap for the fiscal year that begins April 1.
...This latest crisis is entirely self-inflicted by Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature.
This pattern culminated with his administration’s unannounced decision to delay $1.7 billion in payments from late March to early April 2019—shifting expenses to the next fiscal year and throwing the state’s budget out of balance before it even passed.
These moves destabilized the state’s second-largest program (after school aid) and subverted important checks and balances in state government..."

GOP Rep. Collins: Dems 'in Love with Terrorists' -- 'They Mourn Soleimani More Than They Mourn Our Gold Star Families' | Breitbart:
Wednesday during an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Democrats for their reactions to the successful U.S. strike ordered by President Donald Trump that killed Iranian Quds force commander General Qasam Soleimani.
According to the Georgia Republican, it appeared to him Democrats were “in love with terrorists,” comparing their reaction to those of Gold Star families that lost a loved one as a result of Soleimani’s actions.

Levin: The Trump Doctrine - Conservative Review
Levin: The Trump Doctrine - Conservative Review:
The Trump Doctrine, Levin explained, rejects the foreign policy tenets of both the Obama and Bush administrations, which, he said, were guided largely by overarching principles of appeasement and interventionism, respectively.
“So what’s the Trump Doctrine? I say it’s much like the Reagan Doctrine, but it has its own features to it,” Levin explained.

The Enemy within our Borders - America's Voice News Network"...Not so long ago, Republicans congratulated President Obama for the killing of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader of al-Qaeda.
However, when President Trump ordered the attack on Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, a terrorist who is known to have killed over 600 Americans, coordinated the attack on the American Embassy in Baghdad, and had plotted more attacks on American interests according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, there was no celebration or congratulations.
Instead, Democrats and liberal media, blinded by their own hatred of President Trump, ignored the accomplishment and apologized to Iran.
The media painted Soleimani as a scholarly grandfather waiting at the airport to return home to watch his grandchildren play soccer...."

Compelling and a lesson not to be forgotten-----The war that saved Europe from Communism - UnHerd
The war that saved Europe from Communism - UnHerd
"Edgar Vincent is one of those politicians who has slipped from public consciousness almost completely.
Once a prominent businessman, an MP and British Ambassador to Germany, he was elevated to the peerage in 1914 as 1st Viscount D’Abernon, a title that died with him when he passed away in 1941.
In one regard, however, Vincent did leave a legacy.
His memoir of one of the salient periods of his career — his time as a British Envoy to Warsaw in 1920 — made the grand claim that the fight for the Polish capital that summer was one of the most important battles in world history; alongside Marathon, Blenheim and Hastings.
Yet, the Battle of Warsaw — like much of Polish history — is almost unknown to English-speaking audiences.
The year 1920 was one of chaotic flux across much of Europe.
...Warsaw in 1920 represented that rare thing in history: a moment of genuine existential peril, akin to the Battle of Britain or Waterloo.
We in the English-speaking world would do well to remember it."

Our educational industrial complex is broken, time to reform higher education and student loans
Our educational industrial complex is broken, time to reform higher education and student loans:"Our educational industrial complex is broken, and swift reform is needed.
College costs continue to rise much faster than inflation, and too many students are plowing themselves into debt and wasting years of their lives pursuing pointless degrees.
Upon leaving college, these students are often surprised to discover that their degrees have little value.
Of course, most colleges are liberal indoctrination centers, where conservative voices are few and often drowned out..."
