~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Below is Rush Limbaugh’s podcast in its entirety. The podcast begins with Limbaugh sharing his personal memories of Justice Scalia.
At approximately 09:35 of the podcast, Limbaugh calls out Barack Obama’s agenda to appoint “the most committed leftist” on the Supreme Court and “shift the balance of the court” for nearly two decades.
“Will the Republicans stop Obama? Will they TRY to stop Obama?”
Limbaugh also discusses Saturday night’s GOP debate, Donald Trump and the GOP establishment’s pundits such as George Will preaching Trump’s funeral. The establishment still does not get it.
Let me just reiterate. We’re gonna get into this in detail, by the way. I’m gonna share with you some of the comments that are out there. We’ll discuss all the different analysis about Obama and the replacement for Justice Scalia, but it’s really gonna come down to the Republicans, and they’re saying are the right things right now.
I’ve noticed McConnell said that president “should not” make an appointment during the final year. We’ve got Schumer and the Democrat Party hypocrisy where they have advocated exactly what the Republicans advocate for today, but they’re acting like nobody remembers them saying it and so forth. I’ll get into all of that. But McConnell did not say “would.” He said “should.” He did not say, “No way, not ever, no how is Obama gonna get a nominee.” He said he “shouldn’t.” There’s wiggle room there….
If Rand Paul’s 10 1/2 hour filibuster against the Patriot Act proved nothing else, it confirmed that Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell is no different than his fascist predecessor, Harry Reid.
McConnell who supports both the Patriot Act and Obamatrade had planned to bring the latter to the Senate floor last night (Wednesday) for a vote but due to Paul’s filibuster, McConnell moved the vote back until 10 a.m. this morning in addition to closed debates on Obamatrade and not permitting any amendments to the legislation.
McConnell and his pro-Obamatrade allies have blocked allowing votes on two separate amendments to Obamatrade from Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) —ones that would block a “living agreement” contained within the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) would fast-track and would stop President Obama from being able to turn trade deals into a dream immigration package for the Wall Street donor class. What’s more, there’s now talk that McConnell might not even allow a vote on a messaging amendment from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)—one that wouldn’t even fix the immigration and guest worker problems in trade deals—even though it’d probably, because it has no teeth, pass the Senate nearly unanimously….
As information continues to surface regarding secret waiting lists, the news gets worse.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson reported that 18 additional veterans left off of the Veterans Affairs’ “official” waiting list died last month. Gibson is not sure if the deaths are relating to the long waiting times for appointments.
…The 18 veterans who died were among 1,700 veterans identified in a report last week by the VA’s inspector general as being “at risk of being lost or forgotten.” The investigation also found broad and deep-seated problems with delays in patient care and manipulation of waiting lists throughout the sprawling VA health care system, which provides medical care to about 9 million veterans and family members….
The 18 new deaths are in addition to the deaths of 17 veterans reported last month by the Veterans Affairs Inspector General.
A bipartisan deal to expand options enabling veterans to ascertain healthcare services through other venues outside of the scandal plagued Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics was reached Thursday in the Senate.
….The bill would allow veterans who experience waits of 30 days or more for VA appointments or who live at least 40 miles from a VA hospital or clinic to use private doctors enrolled as providers for Medicare, military TRICARE or other government health care programs.
It would let the VA immediately fire as many as 450 senior regional executives and hospital administrators for poor performance. The bill resembles a measure passed last month by the House, but includes a 28-day appeal process omitted by the House legislation.
The bill also authorizes the VA to lease 26 new health facilities in 18 states and spend $500 million to hire more doctors and nurses….
Expect the 28-day appeal process provision to backfire defeating the purpose of termination. Bernie Sanders, protecting big government, is the plan all as admitted yesterday on the Ed Show, ‘We want to improve the VA, not dismantle it.’
In other words, what is being proposed is lipstick on a pig. Nothing will change.
Murawsky selected by Obama to succeed Robert Petzel as undersecretary of Veterans Affairs oversees Veterans Hospitals and 30 clinics in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, some of which are themselves mired in the secret VA waiting list and malpractice scandal.
Chicago’s VA hospital under Murawsky’s reign used a secret waiting list to hide the long wait time of veterans.
Everyday another shoe drops, so if Barack Obama thought that last week’s prisoner’s swap would distract Americans from the Veterans Affairs scandal he could not be more wrong.

The United States of America has had a AAA credit rating since 1917. That rating survived WWI, the Great Depression, World War II, The Korean War, Vietnam, Jimmy Carter, 9-11, and those “unfunded” wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

America is God’s land and she is beautiful. We are blessed to know the liberties that many only dare to dream of.
Let us not foresake her.
God Bless America It seems so many have forgotten what it means to be an American. We live in a day and age of Political Correctness and Government Corruption. The two work together for the sole purpose of dumbing down the American People. Well, the majority of us know better and are not going to allow the few to take from the many our Freedom. Seems the smallest groups make the most noise in this Country and it has worked pretty well up until no … Read More
