The Beginning Of The End For The Affordable Care Act? Largest US Health Insurer May Exit ObamaCare



Today we got confirmation that the spinning plates of the Affordable Care Act are finally falling down, when none other than the U.S.’s biggest health insurer, UnitedHealth, cut its 2015 earnings forecast with a warning that it was considering pulling out of Obamacare, just one month after saying it would expand its presence in the program.

Hillary Clinton's Aides Demand Comedy Club Remove Video Making Fun Of Her

In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood comedy club. “They threatened me,” Masada told Judicial Watch. “I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.”

The Most Important Question About ISIS That Nobody Is Asking

We wonder how long until someone finally asks the all important question regarding the Islamic State: who is the commodity trader breaching every known law of funding terrorism when buying ISIS crude, almost certainly with the tacit approval by various "western alliance" governments, and why is it that these governments have allowed said middleman to continue funding ISIS for as long as it has?

Brace For a Crash: Holiday Spending Hasn’t Been This High Since 2007

by Joshua Krause, The Daily Sheeple:

I distinctly remember the Christmas of 2008. It was unique from every other holiday season that I experienced in my childhood. For my family, every Christmas was normally a gluttonous buffet of consumer spending as each person made sure to buy a mountain of gifts to cover everybody else, even though we were far from wealthy. I’m willing to bet that this habit of decking the halls with maxed out credit cards was shared by many other middle class American families at the time.
By 2008 however, we quickly changed our tune. The financial crisis made it apparent that our annual gift buying binge wasn’t just wasteful and unessential to the spirit of Christmas, it was also no longer affordable for us. That year we mutually agreed to cut the exorbitant spending down to shadow of what it once was, and thankfully, we never looked back

Are We Serious Or Not?

from The Burning Platform:

Time to cut the crap.
After 9/11 we played the politically correct game.
We refused to profile.  No, not all Muslims are terrorists; not even close.  But essentially all terrorists are Muslims.  We didn’t choose that, they did.  It’s not “wrong” to take note of the characteristics of the people who are trying to kill you and use that set of characteristics to kill them first.  That’s called being smart.  Strip-searching a white old lady with leukemia wearing an adult diaper and trying to take one last trip to see her family before she dies rather than spending our resources on those who are part of the group that attacked us is an outrage.  That happened here, in my county.

The French Republic Taken Hostage – Thierry Meyssan

9/11 hasn’t totally killed the U.S. Constitutional Republic, but it has set the stage for the next reaction to another attack. Why is Islamic terrorism is exploding like a cancer? The average French citizen has no idea why, as Thierry Meyssan explains. — Eric Dubin, Managing Editor, The News Doctors​
from, The News Doctors:

The war which has now spread to Paris is incomprehensible for those French citizens who are ignorant of practically all the secret activities of their government in the Arab world, of its unnatural alliances with the Gulf dictators, and its active participation in international terrorism. These policies have never been discussed in Parliament, and the major media have rarely dared to take an interest in them.
For the last five years, the French people have been hearing about distant wars, but without ever understanding what they meant. The Press informed them about the engagement of their army in Libya, but never about the presence of French soldiers on mission in the Levant. My articles on this subject are widely-read, but perceived as some sort of Oriental aberration.

Why All Diabetics Should Know About Turmeric

from The Sleuth Journal:

Many diabetics already know about the benefits of a low-glycemic diet, but why haven’t they heard about turmeric, one of the world’s most extensively researched anti-diabetic plants?
A recent literature review published in the International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism titled, “Anti-Hyperglycemic Effect and Insulin Sensitizing Effects of Turmeric and Its Principle Constituent Curcumin,” adds promising new support to the notion that the ancient Indian spice turmeric may provide an ideal drug alternative to treating and perhaps even preventing type 2 diabetes, which has become of the world’s most prevalent diagnoses.

It’s Already Happening: Authorities Are Using Paris Attacks To Rush New Mass Surveillance Laws

from Vigilant Citizen:

The CIA and government officials around the world are using the Paris attacks to push brand new surveillance laws. And it was all planned in advance.
While democratic systems usually take months (if not years) to pass new laws and legislation, it only took a few days after the Paris attacks to slap honest citizens with more surveillance laws. Several organizations are indeed capitalizing on the fear and panic caused by the attacks to bring forth a brand new agenda that takes a bold new step towards total government surveillance. What’s worse: Leaked information proves that authorities were waiting on a terror attack to go forward with their plan.
