The news yesterday is that President Obama called Russian President Putin to tell him he and the U.S. strongly opposes Russian aggression in the Ukraine and to ask Putin to remove his troops from the border. The Russian response was that nations need to work together to deal with "continued rampage of extremists" in Ukraine, saying they are intimidating citizens, law enforcement and the government.
COMMENTS:
In other words, Putin told Obama to get lost. This continued whining and sniveling on the part of Obama is
disgusting and demeans everything I stand for as an American.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. This intrusion into privacy is getting scary. I was just reading about a new brain scanner
that can read your mind. Are we heading for
the day when the government can slap you into a chair, read your mind and then
file criminal charges against you? (Ivy
~ Lancaster, CA)
A. I am very afraid you are correct. I do believe in natural mental telepathy; I don’t
believe we have yet unlocked all of its secrets, but I’ve had too many
telepathic experiences to be able to dismiss them as coincidence. I think, in that respect, we’re one evolutionary step away
from natural mind reading. The brain is
wired and I find it plausible that an electronic device can read the electronic
activity. Put into a despot’s hands, the
technology could very well lead to realization of your fears. The next step, of course, is to use
electronic waves to control the human mind.
Q. What’s this latest flap about some bill the Democrats
rammed through the Senate [yesterday?] Jill
~ Bellingham, WA)
A. Actually, it happened Thursday and in the House, not the
Senate. If I recall correctly, the Obama
Administration decided to deflate the perceived cost of ObamaCare by imposing
Medicare cuts and transferring the savings to ObamaCare; this was done just
before ObamaCare was rammed through Congress in 2010. That resulted in a cut to reimbursement of
medical providers by 24% and has since caused threats by medical providers to
quit taking Medicare patients. The cuts
take effect April 1. Boehner
and company picked a point when attendance on the House floor was at a low
point and suspended the rules, brought directly to the floor a vote to delay
the cut, and ramrodded it through. That’s
fine for the doctors and Medicare patients, but many Republicans are angry
because they intended to make political use of this ObamaCare gaffe. My question is this: Why did
Boehner do this?
Q. Since it’s the fourth anniversary of ObamaCare, how come
Obama is not strutting around like a cock-on-the-walk proclaiming the outstanding
success of his favorite program? (Warren ~ Paradise, NV)
A. You have noticed that he’s out of the country for the
anniversary, haven’t you? He tends to get on his jet plane and out of town whenever the going gets tough. He recognizes
that his creation has become toxic, and he’s trying to steer any emphasis on it
far, far away. In fact, he is praying
that his visit with the Pope will magically bump up his ratings.
