Educate-Labor?
Who despite evidence to the contrary has tweeted confirmation that he is, in fact, a stable genius and is now proposing to merge US Department of Labor and Education? Is this a sinister plan to destroy both agencies?

Unhappy Memorial Day
On Memorial Day the USA remembers all soldiers who have died during an act of military service. Today, many businesses offer freebies and special discounts to veterans and active military.
However, as politicians tell their constituents how much they care about America and that they support #USA military veterans.
Why the are so many of them suffering from all the sacrifices they have made to protect our democratic form of government?
These are the sad facts and figures that should cause many of us grave concern before we hit the beach and enjoy parades.
Alcohol Kills
According to The World Health Organization, alcohol has killed, continues to kill, and keeps killing more folks than any other legal substance. Alcohol kills way more Americans than opiates. Where's the outrage?
Worldwide, more than 3.3 million deaths a year were due to harmful use of alcohol, says WHO. Alcohol consumption can not only lead to dependence but also increases people’s risk of developing more than 200 diseases including liver cirrhosis and some cancers. In addition, harmful drinking can lead to violence and injuries.
No Sympathy For The Devil
After the judge signed his death warrant, Larry Nassar tried to apologize, but there was no sympathy for the devil. Could he be the nastiest of all health care physicians?
Over 150 girls, women, and their families spoke about the pain inflicted by Larry Nassar’s sexual abuses in an extraordinary, seven-day sentencing hearing for the disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor.
CVSAetna
CVS pharmacy and Health Insurance, Aetna, two industry giants have agreed to a $69B engagement. If this romantic evolution is consummated in marriage and is ultimately approved, Americans will surely feel the pinch.

The Fight Before Christmas
Twas the fight before Christmas, when all through the House and Senate, not a creature was caring, not even a louse. The allegations were hung on the free press with care, and now it's being used as a political distraction to repeal OBAMACARE. http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #POTUS http://politics.doseofnews.com/
This can also be called the knight before Christmas because Jeff Sessions was born on December 24, 1946, and to this very day, this lone white knight still delivers sessions of testimonial dynamite as he continues to fight for legal might. Folks, you cant make up an intertwined story like this one. Believe me, that I can tell you.
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was the first US Republican Senator to support Donald Trump's campaign. This move gained him the US Attorney General post in the resident's cabinet. Then all hell broke loose.
Since he first testified during his confirmation hearings before Senate colleagues, he has changed his story several times.The versions differ while Jeff Sessions' testimony under oath. The US Senate testimony changed by the time he appeared before US House members. But which session is to believe if they contradict each other, or was it a classic case of selective amnesia?
When Jeff Sessions returned to Capitol Hill, he faced new questions about his past testimony regarding the Trump team’s ties to Russia, new indictments and plea deals by special counsel Robert Mueller, revelations about the campaign’s ties to Wikileaks, and Alabama senatorial candidate sexual misconduct scandal.
30th anniversary of the 1987 Crash
Reminiscent of the terrible 2005 Hurricane season, the third quarter of 2017 witnessed a series of
natural disasters which caused historic flooding in Texas, ravaged the entire Florida peninsula and
devastated the island of Puerto Rico. Out West, destructive wildfires are leaving some of
America’s finest wineries in ashes. All are producing promises of government assistance which
has economists busy calculating the stimulative effects of the increased spending. Replacing
almost a million cars in Houston and rebuilding homes throughout the affected areas are sure to

Where is Nambia?
Where in the world is Nambia? Someone should have told @POTUS that Namibia is located in SW Africa. The capital is Windhoek, with a coastal town named Swakopmund.
Perhaps he should visit Google, or read the encyclopedia instead of just wasting time on Twitter rants. We're just saying and suggesting.

Legalization of Marijuana
Do pros prevail over cons? The allowance to use cannabis legally is great news but the dose really matters.
The forbidden fruit is sweet. This adage is definitely true about a lot of issues, and marijuana is
not an exception. In order to improve the situation with this drug abuse, the number of the US
states legalized the use of marijuana for adults. To everyone’s surprise, the outcomes after the
first years were rather positive. For instance, in 2014, in the state of Washington, the number of
law violations decreased by 63% while marijuana-related convictions reduced by 81%. A good

USA Healthcare
The times are certainly changing, or so it seems. US Senator, VT Bernie Sanders unveiled his long-anticipated legislation to create a national single-payer health system with the support from 15 Democratic Senate co-sponsors.
