TROPICAL STORM CHANTAL DESTRUCRTIVE DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

TROPICAL STORM CHANTAL HITS SOUTH CAROLINA

By: Derek Varsalona

Well, now it appears that climate change is upon us and always has been.  Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall in South Carolina on Sunday.

It appears that Climate Change is indeed real.  The amount of destruction in South Carolina is going to be enormous.  But do not worry since President Trump is going to come to the rescue since it is a Republican state.  Or maybe he will backstab them since there are a lot of African Americans?  I hope that is not the case but would not be surprised if that does happen under President Trump.  I would hope that President Trump is color blind in this situation and helps out all people regardless of race. 

The people that are going to suffer the most are the disabled people in South Carolina.  Those are the people that need the most help.  With cuts to the Medicaid Program right now which I support to save the program it is going to be tougher on the states.  That could me life and death to so many people and the needed supplies that they get under Medicaid.  But the fact of the matter is you need to cut those programs to save those programs.

As for the storm, this is the direct result of climate change.  Please someone tell me the difference between climate change and global warming?  I think Liberals have been talking about climate change over global warming since the term is what attracts people and it sounds more scary.  As always comments accepted.

TRUMP RIGHT TO CUT MEDICAID TO SAVE IT

TRUMP ROLLS THE DICE ON BIG BEAUTIFUL LAW

By: Derek Varsalona

I am sure that President Trump enjoys gambling in his casinos.  But he also likes to gamble in the White House.  President Trump is taking a big gamble rolling the dice on the Big Beautiful Law.  This is a Law that I do support.  Yes, I am on Medicare and Medicaid.  It cuts both programs I believe.

But let me be clear, you need to cut the programs in order to save the programs.  This might be a Democratic Trap?  Is it possible that we can cut Medicare so much that we need to refund it with Medicare for All, which I support?   But let us look at the Medicare Program.  I am on Medicare being that I am on disability and yes I work as an Assistant Swim Instructor.  Most people including Seniors hate Obama Care.  That is not to say people in this country do not like government-run health care.  People love Medicare.  But if we truly have Medicare for All, then we must make it for all.   That means the President of the United States, Congress and all federal employees including the military must be on the same program.  Socialized medicine you ask?  Yes. you bet but it might be socialized medicine that actually works.

I support President Trump's cuts to Medicare.  I am on Medicare.  I support President Trump's cuts to Medicaid. I am on Medicaid.  You need to cut the programs in order to save the programs.  As always comments accepted.

YES, I SUPPORT THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL HARDSHIP

ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL MESS?

By: Derek Varsalona

The One Big Beautiful Law is upon us America whether you like it or not.  This is a historic piece of legislation that I support.  The question is this: one big beautiful gift for America, or one big beautiful mess for America?  That has yet to be seen.  This law will be discussed long after President Trump leaves office.  This will be talked about in history class, law school, and college political science classes.  This law cements the Trump legacy.  But what type of legacy will it be a one big beautiful one or one big beautiful mess?

With the signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill President Trump cemented his legacy.  He will go down in history for this and only time will tell if this legacy is good or bad for years to come.  Trump now owns the Republican Party and the agenda.  Scholars say including myself that he always has.  The one big beautiful bill has cemented the Trump legacy.  

The main reason why the Democrats oppose this is not because they hate America, Although that is also true.  It undoes everything they ever done and on their least favorite holiday July 4.  I say the favorite day of Republicans is July 4, a day to celebrate freedom, and the Democrats' favorite day is April 15, and day to tax, spend, and kill America.  But this undoes the Obama and Biden legacy.  It undoes the health care reform.  It undoes the Clean Energy Act, and it undoes the Inflation Reduction Act.  It also cuts Medicaid and SNAP, which, yes, I am on, and I support these cuts.

As for the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.  Yes, I am on it and I support cutting the programs by streamlining them.  In order to save the programs, you need to cut of waste, fraud, and abuse.  That means no illegal immigrant should receive any government benefit since they are criminals.  

This is a great day for America.  America is in a recovery stage, like a recovering drug addict or alcoholic.  America's drug of choice by the Democrats was spending addicted to it.  The Big Beautiful Bill puts the country on the right path, and it puts America on a withdrawal from spending.  Yes, it spends money up front, but the withdrawal symptoms are going to be painful. America, like all recovering drug addicts, will be better in the long run.  As always comments accepted.

ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL LAW

ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL LAW

By: Derek Varsalona

The One Big Beautiful bill cleared the hurdle in the House yesterday, a day before the signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill.  Now the bill is law.  In the short run, it spends money on.  But you need to spend money to save money over the long term.  I support this bill because it will save vital programs in the long run.  In the short term, the cuts will be painful.  But America needs this law to cut the poison out of the bad ideas that the Democrats have.

The Big Beautiful Bill will become law thank god.  Yes, I know it cuts Medicare and Medicaid.  As for a person who is on these programs, yes, I do support these cuts and would have voted for the bill in the House and Senate.  I support this bill since it makes the right type of cuts.  In order to save these vital programs, we need to cut the programs and spending.  What we are cutting is the waste, fraud, and abuse in the programs to save it for future generations.  What people do not understand is that we are cutting the right to programs by illegal immigrants and saving them for rightful Americans.  What people do not understand is that illegal means criminals, and as an illegal alien, you are not entitled to anything under American law.

There are still five holdouts that do not like the bill in its format.  That is too bad.,  They are going to feel the wrath of Trumps anger when they do not get funded for their campaigns.  To those holdouts may i are one suggestion.  Retire now and do not run for re-election.

The National Debt will go to 5 Trillion under the debt limit under this bill.  That does not concern me.  You need to spend money to run the nation.  It is better to have a former businessman than a career politician run the country.

This is a great day for America.  The One Big Beautiful Bill is or soon will become the one Big Beautiful Law. As always comments accepted.

YES THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL PASSED

SUPPORT THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

By: Derek Varsalona

I said it once, and I will say it again.  Yes, I am disabled. Yes, I support the One Big Beautiful  Bill.  I know, I know, people say I should not.  It cuts Medicaid and makes the right cuts.  One of those cuts is giving medical insurance to illegal immigrants.  Let us make this one thing clear.  Illegal immigrants are criminals who broke into this country.  They deserve nothing but to go back home and come here legally through the proper channels.  

As I typed this Wednesday morning, the Big Beautiful Bill was still being debated.  The fact is that we need this to keep America prosperous and not become a third-world country.

The bill must meet the deadline of July 4.  President Trump set this artificial deadline since it is America's birthday and this would be a great birthday present for America.  Yes, I know it makes drastic cuts.  Even makes cuts to my Medicaid.  But hear me out.  We need to make these cuts to save the program.  Medicaid is in much need of reform.  One reform should be to expel all illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid.  Another is making people on Medicaid and Medicare if they are under 65, work for their benefits.  That way, everyone takes something in and everyone gives back.

These cuts are the right cuts to make to save vital programs.  Yes, this is going to be painful in the short run ,but in the long run, it saves vital programs for my nieces, myself, and other generations.  Support the One big Beautiful Bill to become law.  As always, comments are accepted.

I SUPPORT THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL AND THE CUTS

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL MAKES THE RIGHT CUTS

By: Derek Varsalona

I know this is going to be painful.  I know this is going to hurt a little or a lot, but that is alright.  It is the cuts that we need at this stage and time.  As of now, the Senate Republicans do not have the votes to pass President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.  There are six Republican holdouts as of today.

The Senate Republicans still do not have the votes to carry President Trump's domestic agenda, THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL,  to the finish line.  Why are these Republicans stalling if they claim to be Conservative and love to save money?  That is probably because the bill cuts so much from vital programs.

But these are exactly the cuts that Americans need in order to save these vital programs.  The bill cuts Medicaid and SNAP Benefits.  I am on these programs and support the cuts to this program.  You ask why?  I support cutting the waste, fraud, and abuse in the system.  There is much waste, fraud, and abuse within the SNAP and Medicaid benefits.  First, no illegal resident should be entitled to these benefits.  Second, no one who is not working or not actively trying to look for work should be entitled to government assistance.  Under my plan, which is different than President Trump's, there should be a work or volunteer requirement in order to receive any type of entitlements if any at all.  We are not giving these entitlements out for free.  Yes, even people in their retirement years must volunteer their time for their country.  That can be taking care of the grandkids or babysitting for benefits.  Yes, you would need to record your time and report those hours every month to the federal government.  Those hours that you submit would be background checked by the feds.  We are not giving out entitlements for nothing.  You must produce and work for your benefit. 

I do support the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.  But what you say, Derek, I thought you were on those receiving SSDI and SSI?  Right you are, and I want those cut.  I want those cuts to save the programs.  As of right now, the programs are bloated.  The fact of the matter is that all government programs have fraud: SNAP and Disability is no different.  How many times have I seen people claim disability for a back injury, then you see them on video doing back flips off a surfboard?  Too many to count.

The fact of the matter is that these programs need to be reformed.  The big reform should be to add a work or volunteer requirement to receive government benefits.  That way, even the needy who do not pay taxes have a stake in the game.  Everyone puts in and everyone takes out under my plan.  As always, comments are accepted.

SUPPORT THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

SUPPORT THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

By: Derek Varsalona

Yes, I am disabled with Cerebral Palsy and Short Term Memory Loss, a learning disability.  Yes, I support the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will hopefully become law soon.  The Senate started a marathon session on Monday for the One Big Beautiful Bill.   This is President Trump's one big domestic agenda.  It is as big to the Republicans as the Affordable Care Act was to the Democrats.  The only thing different is that this bill saves money and America, while the Affordable Care Act costs money and demolished the health care industry.

Yesterday, on Monday, President Trump made the Senate go into a marathon session to promote the One Big Beautiful  Bill.  This is the top domestic agenda.  But what I do not understand is the White House's imposed artificial deadline.  Let the people get a chance to read the bill and make the decision for themselves on the merits of the bill.  Let them call their senators; that is how democracy works.

I support the bill and hope it becomes law.  But the way this is going through with the rushing through the bill before people have a chance to read and digest it is wrong.  As always, comments are accepted.
