@raphjd said in Minnesota surgeon fired from hospital for saying parents, not government, .....: I wonder if Feng Feng realizes that virtually no US hospital is 100% private. I would say that 100% of them get at least some government money, which makes them quasi-government agents. It's the same for ALL businesses, schools, hospitals, etc, etc, etc, etc that gets government money. Also a correction. About 1/3rd of UK hospitals are privately owned and this number is rising. Most doctors at private hospitals double-dip by working both at the NHS and privately. My private ENT doctor is also the head of the ENT depart at the NHS for my city. It doesn't matter who owns the hospitals in the US, because the hospitals don't actually hire DOCTORS to staff them! They hire "consulting companies" to provide the physicians... It's all part of a corporate shell game intended to thwart personal injury attorneys from getting massive payouts for medical mistakes/failures/omissions/malpractice/etc. SOMETHING had to be done to stop the PI lawyers, and attempts at legislating a solution were successfully blocked by the PI Attorney lobbies... So, this is the "fix" - wrap everyone around "corporate shields" that insulate each layer from liability from any other layer. Unfortunately, as I pointed out, this Dr is now employed by a private company, meaning he has no 1st Amendment right to free speech. His employer can fire him for his speech, for his haircut, or for having improperly groomed pinkie fingernails... and his employment contract makes that very clear. This isn't right - he shouldn't have been fired. Don't take my description of why it's legal as an agreement that it should be!!

Hmmm... filed 24-hours before the on-site voting happens in Virginia... Certainly worth investigating, as accepting foreign funds for campaigns in Federal Elections is illegal (not so sure about State campaigns - I think that would be up to States' own laws - but I'd be shocked if any State did NOT make it illegal!). Despite the claims of some of the sites contributing to Breitbart's story, I don't think Federal Elections laws apply to non-Federal elections. That's a hallmark of our democracy: elections are local, and our system is entirely de-centralized... making the kind of system-wide "conspiracy" that is central to the "Trump 2020 lie" almost impossible to achieve! That said, I'm not a lawyer at all - and that means I'm definitely not an elections lawyer. But the timing of the complaint smells... I don't think the Republican Candidate against McCauliffe (Glenn Youngkin) needs any "shady" help... he should be able to defeat this Dem fair and square! Even in a State (VA) that's been leaning Blue lately...

@lololulu19 said in Rep "CryBaby" Kinzinger won't run for re-election: Pelosi committed itself in a 2016 deal to stepping down as the leader of the House democrats in 2022. I wonder how that will affect her influence over the democrat lemmings in the House. Since they know she is toothless after 2022, they don't have to fear her reprisals anymore. We can only hope that Pelosi actually adheres to her 2018 "campaign" promise to NOT seek re-election to Speaker in 2022... then again, we can also hope that the point is moot, as Dems shouldn't be in control of the House in 2022 to begin with! (NOTE: Technically, the election happens in 2022, the next Speaker election won't happen as a result until early 2023!) Love her or hate her, Pelosi has been an effective Dem leader... in all the ways that make Republicans revile her! So, losing her would be a benefit to us! But again, the point should be moot and she should retire from Congress and annoy her grandchildren! As for Kinsinger, as you noted in your piece above, he was essentially gerrymandered out of his seat. And that comes as a surprise to anyone? Dem States are gerrymandering their delegations to be more Dem, Republican States are gerrymandering their delegations to have more Republicans... shocking! What REALLY should happen is that we should fix this broken system where partisan politics feeds on itself and extremes on both sides get to advance their agendas because of a lack of a NEED for there to be a middle-ground. If we drew our district boundaries in a less partisan (non-partisan is a pie-in-the-sky impossible dream) fashion, we'd have more competitive districts and the Legislature would be able to accomplish more... more that's GOOD for America - all of America, not just one extreme or another.

The old testament is loaded with animal sacrifices.. and then that wasn't enough so they had the story of Isaac and Abraham. Then they made the sacrifice of JC the premise for the entire new testament. It's interesting that in the OT, they make it very clear that they don't just sacrifice any animals.. they are to sacrifice their BEST animals. What kind of insanity ever came up with the premise of sacrificing the best? In many civil wars, they intentionally rounded up the intellectuals and killed them! (because they were a threat to the ruling class). When the ruling class is comprised of religious nuts, WATCH OUT! They will do absolutely anything, and sanctify it in the name of religion.

@rivnerobby "I don't know you but am assuming" = not enough to be a conspiracy but enough to make you whack-a-doodle theorist. Lacking comprehension and personal connection yet attempted to draw a speculation about someone, at least be aware of the contradiction between your own statements.

I was curious what our CCP/DNC secret agent has been saying about me, so I had a bit of a look. He didn't disappoint me. He's such a stooge.

Ibram X Kendi's tweet inadvertently called out Sen "Fauxcahontas" Warren and how she lied claiming to be Native American to get an advantage. If there is so much white privilege, then why do whites need to lie to get a bit of equality?

@raphjd said in Republicans demand answers from Biden Cabinet on reported $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/murphy-letter-cabinet-secretaries-horrific-decision While $450K seems a bit steep, paying something families who were illegally separated by Trump Administration officials that violated US laws and UN rules does seem reasonable. We really wouldn't want to be hauled into the US or World Courts with what they did... they potential payouts could be MUCH MUCH higher! NOTE TO @raphjd and other Trumnpites: when Trump told his Federal Employees to do things that were a violation of US law, he didn't protect them, or the US Government from lawsuits arising from those illegal activites. Doing something illegal because the President told you to might protect the individual, but will not protect the US Government itself from liability. Remember: he was President Trump, not Emperor Trump!

@kekkaishi said in $10mil "reverse" discrimination win: @bi4smooth Good for him. Did they tell him outright that they wanted a woman to replace him? They argued (in court) that it wasn't because she was a woman, but because of WHO she was... but that was easily refuted by their own communications with my Dad. They were eager to hire a woman - any woman - and this woman wanted to work HERE! One of the reasons my dad's next job paid so well was because they also (in addition to paying) had to release him from his non-compete... so he went to work for a competitor!

@kekkaishi said in Rules for you, but not for illegals: Yes. illegals don't have special rights, so you can't enforce vaccine rules, yet democrats support more illegal immegration The issue is that if Democrats are so concerned about covid, hence the vaccine mandates and lockdowns, then why import more and more illegals that cannot be vetted properly and tested for covid (we all know why....). That is why it's furiating. It's not about covid, it's not about the health of the people or their safety, it's about taking control of the individual's freedom and mindset. It is ridiculous to say that even Dems are inviting illegal immigration... do they want looser laws (stupidly!)? yes... but "open borders" is something only the ultra-far-left (AOC crazies anyone?) are in favor of... Dems are not "importing illegals" - remember that Biden's southern-border strategy isn't very different at all from Trump's! (Lots of finger-pointing pre-election, and ass-covering post-election! - As I've said repeatedly: it's easy to point fingers at the ones in power, when you're NOT in power and say "that sucks" - it's another thing entirely when you're the one in power and have to have (and implement) a "better solution"!) To be clear: I'm not supporting the Dems in their desires to increase immigration - but I'm not going to make absurd claims against them either!

Have a gander at the cop's face, he murdered a man for not wearing a mask, while he is not wearing a mask. It reminds me of the UK train police taking his mask off so he can beat up a man for not wearing a mask, who had a medical exemption. I was put in handcuffs in my own front yard, cleaning up trash, because the stupid cops thought "cuz muh covid" that everyone had to stay inside their houses, despite the UK Prime Minister and Scottish First Minister (seperately) went on tv stating what the rules were and that they wanted us to go outside, but stay on our own property. There are all kinds of crazy-ass arrest stories due to covid. Australia and NZ have gone crackhead crazy with the extreme violence in the guise of protecting people from covid.

@lololulu19 said in Black TX school shooter was a drug dealer, not victim: @raphjd it is possible you are Bi4smooth's momma. In the bible, Moses was found floating in a river as a baby. Likewise, it is possible that you took a big shit, and when you flushed it, it wound up in a river, someone scooped it up and raised it as Bi4smooth. Your excrement waste could be B4S. I frequently warn people that males can get pregnant from anal sex. The only thing is, almost all the resulting babies grow up to be cops or lawyers. @lololulu19 Are you off your meds?

Well, the democrats did not necessarily LIE. The democrats only want to "tax the rich" The only catch is, they consider anybody making over $600 per year to be rich! That is not unusual, because in communist countries such as China, a lot of people only get paid 50 cents an hour - so one could consider $600 per year to be rich under communism - which is what democrats admire so much. Total government control!

@raphjd AG Garland is useless to anybody, because he is senile, and completely conflicted. He realizes that he can't change the rules to attack the republicans, because if he did that, the same rule change would put a LOT of democrats in jail. For instance, to keep Hillary out of prison, a whole lot of rules had to be bent!

people forget that the VIOLENT wing of the KKK is entirely comprised of democrats. The non-violent face of the KKK are the republicans. Believe it or not.. there are even jewish and black members of the KKK. Whenever there is violence, or a war, you usually find democrats at the core.

@bi4smooth Blah, blah, blah Your "facts" come straight from the DNC and their masters.
