Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R), represented the key state of Pennsylvania for 12 years in the Senate. He said he would not vote for former President Trump or Vice President Harris in the November 2024 election. (Psst, pre-November 2024 election commentary). I do not know if this person actually did not vote for either Trump or Kamala Harris. He […]
The smirking faces of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have joined the smirking face of Donald Trump in threatening to burn down government in order to save it. What they’re announcing sure sounds bad to me (eliminate a third of federal spending, including cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). Over at eatingpolicy.com, Jennifer Pahlka […]
UnitedHealthcare posted profits of $22 billion in 2023, as many Americans struggle to afford the medical care they need. Witty reportedly took home $23.5 million that same year, while Thompson got over $10 million. Yes, United Healthcare is profitable. At whose expense? Delay, Deny, and Defend is a violation of consumer reliance on their insurance companies as written by […]

In 2016, Trump first came to office as the Pres (in case you forgot). His taking office was the result of the […]
A More Democratic Economy A 1787 newly minted United States of America wasn’t far removed from an old Europe where not so long before all property belonged to the crown or state; where only a hundred years or so earlier John Locke had first defended the idea of private property at a time when most […]
Looks like Trump wants to kill the US Postal Service. Postmaster General DeJoy has been bent on killing the USPS in a death by a thousand cuts. The Trump administration will try to kill it outright, and hand over its responsibility to the private sector. Ironic, because the big losers will be rural residents that […]
Sorry, our system is f’d up and one of us was murdered as a result. We admit the United Health system does not work as well as it should. At United Health, we can sympathize with all of you hit with higher healthcare costs and bad results. We at United Healthcare are “willing to partner […]

Kyrsten Sinema (I-Arizona.) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), two longtime members of their caucus, voted Wednesday (12/11/2024) to block President Biden’s nominee, Lauren McFerran, to serve another five-year term on the National Labor Relations Board.” The impact of which will allow Trump to place an anti-labor member […]
