BIDEN TO RELEASE MEDISCARE FOR ALL

BIDEN TO ENROLL EVERYONE IN MEDICARE

By: Derek Varsalona

Watch out America.  Another victim of Bidenomics is going to be Medicare.  President Biden is going to enact Medicare for All.  Some might think this is great.  But is it really Medicare for All?  No Medicare for All is a trap.  If we really wanted Medicare for All than it must be for All the people,  That means President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congress and all federal employees are going to have to go on Medicare.  I highly doubt that is going to happen.

President Biden released his plan for Medicare yesterday.  He says the beneficiaries are going to save money.  But if that is the case then you can not get everyone on Medicare.  In order to save money for the system and preserve it for the disabled and seniors you need to decrease the amount of enrolled.  It is truly not for all the people as the Congress, the President, the Vice President and the federal government employees are not going to go on Medicare.  While those people are not on Medicare look for the federal government to decrease the funding to the program and that decrease is going to come from the Democrats not the Republicans.

President Biden says that Medicare is going to negotiate the prices for America.  That is true.  But the government never negotiates fairly for the people of America.  The government always has the better deal in the end.  If we truly are going to have Medicare for All then the federal government workers including the military, Congress, Vice President and President must go on Medicare.   No more Cadalliac  insurance plans.

Also, what is going to happen to private insurance?  I can tell you that Private insurance is going to become obsolete. That means every health insurance broker is going to be giving on Medicare and enrolling people.  Private insurance is going to be diminished or cut all together with all health insurance workers becoming federal employees.  Then the government is going to take over the hospitals and private doctors this is going to be nationalized Medicare insurance.

The better approach is for the people themselves to negotiate the with Medicare and their private insurance.  You really do not want the government choosing your own doctors do you?  I also think that the doctors are going to want to become federal employees.

Also, under this plan the most people in this nation are on Elquis for Blood Clots.  That is 3, 928,000 enrolled on Eliquis.  We are a sick nation and we made ourselves sick by living on fast foods and sugary drinks.   I should not talk since I have the same problem.

The government is going to negotiate all the drug prices.  But does anyone really think that the government is going to negotiate fair.  The government only negotiates to make the deal great for the government and in the end the screw the taxpayer.  

America we are getting into the age of socialized medicine.  Medicare for All is upon us.  That means the Democrats must admit that the federal insurance plan Obama Care did not work.  What makes you think this plan of Medicare for All is going to work, it's not it's going to break Medicare.  As always comments accepted.

DETROIT HAS FREE INTERNET

DETROIT HAS FREE INTERNET

by: Derek Varsalona

The city of Detroit Now has free internet access for all of its residents.  But remember kiddos the money is coming from somewhere and nothing is free in life.   The Detroit Pistons and the Rocket Community Fund gave the people of Detroit Free internet.  The parks of Bradby, Chandler, Clark, McDuffy and Palmer now have free internet access provided by the private investors.  I support this list is great that the community is stepping up to give people free internet by private investors.  But watch out, these community organizations are going to want something in return for your free internet.  The Pistons are going to want you to come to their games and well the Rocket Community Fund, well that is taxpayer funded.  So they Taxpayer is paying for the free internet for the poor.

So just remember the next time someone offers you something for free, the money came from somewhere.  Remember to thank the taxpayers and in this case please thanks Tom Gores the owner and his family for your free internet.  As always comments accepted.

WHAT THE WORD DISABLED MEANS TO ME

WHAT IS IN THE WORD?

By: Derek Varsalona

I have heard all the words before.  Gimpy, disabled, disability.  I have heard all of these words before growing up with a disability.  The very definition of a gimp is a person with a leg injury or a limp.  Cerebral Palsy affects my mobility so i walk with a limp.  But I am much more than a gimp.  Although I am a disabled adult I am very much able to surpass my disability.  The word of disabled is defined as an injury that limits ability.  But people say  I am disabled but I certainly do not feel disabled.  I prefer the term mentally and physically challenged.  Although I have shortcomings this so-called disability does not define who or what I am as a person.  Another bad word that society likes to define me is that of the disabled.  The very meaning of the word is not able.  But although I am not able body I am not defined by my disability or lack of ability.

I think the worse is being called a gimp.  That is someone with a leg injury.  Cerebral Palsy affects my gate and ability to walk without a limp to some extent.  But My limp is not what defines me.  I push through.  I am able to surpass many things that most people without disabilities can do.  I am able to swim at least 108 laps in a 50-meter Olympics-sized 50-meter swimming pool on an average workout.  Most able-bodied people even athletic people do not even fathom swimming that many laps as a daily workout.  The term gimp did not stop me from competing ins sports with other able-bodied people.  When I played basketball in the Boys Basketball League of Rockville Centre I was on 7 championship teams in 8 years.  No rings but yes many trophies.  On a side note, I lead the league in fouls for eight consecutive years. 

Let us look at the term disable.  That very term means to injure that limits my ability.  My disability prevents me from driving in the sense I can not drive a car.  But I do drive, I drive people crazy with my constant political views on my blog and podcast on a daily and nightly basis.  If anything that hurt me was my short-term memory loss.  But that disability is my great superpower.  With Short-term Memory loss, I am able to have selective memory.  I can choose what is important to me and store it in my long-term memory and selectively forget the things in the short term that I do not deem important so watch out world.

Now, let us look at the word disability.  Disability is defined as a person having a physical or mental impairment that limits movements, senses, or activities.  I have overcome my disability.  Yes, I do have limitations.  I can not work a full-time job as of yet so part-time work is proper for me.  I can not drive other than drive people crazy.    but I can do many other things that most able-bodied people can not do, look at the example of being able to swim over 100 laps on any given day with Cerebral Palsy.  Society likes to make up words that define us.  Do not let those words define you.  As always comments accepted.

THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN OF JOY

THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN OF JOY

By: Derek Varsalona

I personally will not vote for Vice President and Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.  It is not because I do not want a woman in the White House, it is because I do not think she will take anything seriously.  But I do think she will win the election for the simple fact that she brings positivity to America when it is mostly needed in America.  The political climate in America is too cynical.  That is a major problem, especially for former President Trump who is seen as too mean and has a target on the back of his opponents.  The fact of the matter is that politics is a full-contact sport. 

But What does the Harris Campaign bring?  The Harris and Walz campaign brings a happy-go-lucky appearance.  Harris is seen as historic and not judgmental.  Walz is seen as a likable person and a friendly grandfather.  Their message brings back hope and optimism with joy.

That seems like it is going to work in this campaign.  They bring an upbeat positive message for the campaign.  Politics should be substance over personality.  But so much of politics is the public relations battle.  In this case, the Harris Campaign is running a historic public relations campaign with a positive winning message that will lead her to the White House.  As always comments accepted.

EVAN GERSHKOVICH RELEASE MIGHT MAKE KAMALA PRESIDENT

PRISONER RELEASE MIGHT SEAL KAMALA VICTORY

By: Derek Varsalona

I am afraid to say it, but President Biden just might have sealed a win for Vice President Kamala Harris.  Yesterday, Vice President Kamala Harris was seen with Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Geshrkovich.  Also US Marine Paul Whalen and Journalist Alsu Kurmasheva were released from Russian custody.

I think this release secures the win for Vice President Kamala Harris.  This is very big international news and it shows that Kamala Harris was part of the effort.  I am not sure if President Biden was there but the footage of Kamala Harris being at the tarmac to greet Evan is going to play and leave an image in peoples mind.  If nothing else drastic happens this might be a defending moment in the campaign.  As always comments accepted.

DEADLY LANDSLIDE HITS INDIA

DEADLY LANDSLIDE IN INDIA

By: Derek Varsalona

On Thursday, August 1, there was a  deadly landslide in India.    The landslide has killed at least 158 people accounted for so far with recovery efforts on the way.

I commend President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden for sending their thoughts and prayers to the people effected by the landslides.  The land slides occurred in the state of Kerala India. Many families have lost loved ones as a result of the landslide. Many Indian service men and first responders are supporting the recovery efforts.

I send my thoughts and prayers to the people of India in this tragic event.  As always comments accepted.

LEGALIZING ALL DRUGS WOULD STOP OVERDOSES

BIDEN WRONG APPROACH ON ATTACKING FENTANYL

By: Derek Varsalona

I agree with President Biden that something needs to be done about the fentanyl deaths in America.  But this is the price that ones pays for having open boarders for votes in America.  The best way to deal with the fentanyl crisis is to legalize all drugs in /America.  Straight legalizing of all drugs will get the people the help they will need.  I do hope that with legalizing all drugs drug addicts will come out of the shadows and acquire the help they need instead of living in fear that they are going to be report to the cops and arrested.   Legalization will also stop the overdoses I believe.

As of today, 422 doses of fentanyl was seized at the boarder.  But what about the drugs that are getting through?  You can not stop all the drugs that are coming through America.  These drug addicts need help and they need help now.  I once saw a homeless man on the cover of the NY Post with a needle sticking out of his arm.  My first wonder is why did the NYPD not take this man to the hospital and just leave him to die or survive on the streets of New York City.  The fact is that people are worried to seek help since the are afraid that they would be reported to the austerities.  It is time for the people to stop living in fear and live their lives.  Legalizing all drugs would let people come out of the shadows.  The solution is for the Boarder Patrol to seize these drugs and hand them over to the FDA for Approval.

It is great that overdoes medication is available over the counter.  But there would be no  need for overdose medication if we legalized all drugs.  I truly believe that with legalization you would cut down on overdose deaths and save lives in the  process.  People would come out of the shadows and the people would be able to move on with their lives in a peaceful no criminal manner.  As always comments accepted.
