House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, in a round about way, that
she disagrees with 2020 Democrats' Medicare for All plan. Specifically,
she takes issue with people losing their private health insurance and
doesn't see Medicare for All as a workable solution.
"I
don't think you can decide one day that, in a matter of days, no one
will have their private health insurance. I just don't see that as a
path," Pelosi told CBS News' Margaret Brennan. "I do think that though
people have these exuberance and their why and what excites them about
running for office, and that has to be taken into consideration when we
make judgments about their policies. Plus, everyone knows that once
you're elected then you have to work together."

Op-ed: Impeachment...Change the Channel...Puleeze! By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on
American Political Radio
Impeachment...impeachment...impeachment...that's all we hear about
24/7. Now it's will the whistleblower Eric Ciaramella testify or not...will
Hunter Biden testify or not. Adam Schiff said no to both while Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rightfully said that if those two
key persons don't testify the impeachment itself, even if it's passed in the House,
will not make it to the Senate floor let alone to vote. And even that is being a bit on the redundant side for even if the Senate did vote, the
votes are simply and thankfully not there to formally impeach and
remove from office duly-elected President Donald J. Trump.
And it's all gotten this far because a whiny bunch of Democrat
crybabies still can't get over the fact that Hillary Clinton
lost...that alone says a lot about today's sad state of American
politics now doesn't it.
But it's not just the politicians alone who are driving this
impeachment nonsense forward as they're being aided in their
misguided quest by the mainstream bought-and-paid-for liberal media
who sees the sometimes bumpy road to impeachment...whether it actually succeeds or
not...as their road to both ratings and advertising revenue riches.
And the mainstream media knows they've got the “masses” hooked and salivating waiting for the next episode of the “Impeachment
Show” evenwhile
some folks are now starting to complain that it's enough already, yet
they still tune in daily to watch the shenanigans in hope that maybe
a game-changing bombshell or two will be dropped.
I'll tell you right now that that simply won't happen.
And forgotten with the “Impeachment Show” being the
main and sometimes only show on certain alphabet networks and many
times even in print, is that there are indeed other newsworthy items
not getting their fair share of news coverage. So I'll try to remedy
that a bit with two news stories from last week that received mostly
cursory coverage at best.
We all know that last Monday, November 11th, was Veterans Day, the day we honor
all those who served in the United States Armed Forces. And while most
people respectfully honor those who proudly wore our nation's
uniform, a number of anti-Trumpers instead relished in ruining even
that special day by turning what should be a day devoid of politics
into a leftist political extravaganza aimed directly at President
Trump...the first ever sitting president to address and lay a wreath
at the site of the Eternal Light Memorial in Manhattan's Madison
Square Park.
Delivering the opening remarks at the city's now 100th annual
Veterans Day Parade...our nation’s largest event honoring military
service...President Trump praised our military saying that, “This
nation is forever in your debt, and we thank you all,” and that
"you are the reason our hearts swell with pride, our foes
tremble with fear, and our nation thrives in freedom." The
president’s speech stayed focused throughout on the service of the
various military branches and on the military accomplishments done
under his administration...he is Commander-in-Chief of the military
after all.
But instead of all joining in what President Trump most assuredly intended to be a politics-free
day, our president was greeted by angry protesters screaming "New
York hates you," as well as calls for his impeachment. Also,
on this day that should have solely been dedicated to those who helped to keep our country safe
and free...we saw the words "impeach" and "convict"
in letters taped to the windows of a luxury high-rise condominium
overlooking the park venue where Trump spoke, and heard screams, as
if on cue, of “lock him up” when he started to speak.
And in their doing what they did, these folks were ever so
disrespectful not just to our president...who wisely chose not to
recognize nor acknowledge the protesters...but disrespectful to the
many veterans in attendance...veterans who came not just to honor
their own but to honor the man whose strength and determination laid
out the groundwork for the taking out of ISIS founder and leader Abu
al-Baghdadi. “Thanks to American warriors, al-Baghdadi is dead.
His second in charge is dead. We have our eyes on No. 3. His reign of
terror is over, and our enemies are running very, very scared,”
were President Trump's actual words said.
And know that this orchestrated show of disrespect for our
president was done with malice intended to both corrupt what
President Trump meant solely to be a speech of gratitude, and to turn
the day into the “Impeachment Show” episode number
“whatever” with the
media's eyes now focused on them.
But this utter show of disrespect went even further, after all this
is New York City...the east coast version of LA...as anti-Trump
demonstrators protested not only his actual presence, but tried to
steal the “thunder” away,if you will, from the accomplishes our military has made under
this president's leadership. In fact, one 77-year old veteran who
served in the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam...kept bloviating on
that, "President Trumpis a draft dodger,” and that while,
“It's a special day. If Trump wasn't here, it'd be even more
special.” Too bad this veteran, one Milt Kaye, ignored the fact
that neither did Obama serve in the military nor did he ever honor or
support our military in the way President Trump does...but then again
how could he when Barack HUSSEIN Obama chose instead to “aid and
abet” the enemy every chance he got...something which this
disgruntled Democrat veteran dared not say let alone think.
“Those who threaten our people don’t stand a chance against
the righteous might of the American military,” PresidentTrump went on to say as he recognized fellow New Yorker and World
War II, Battle of the Bulge veteran, 94-year old Jack Foy who was
invited to sit on the stage next to him; as well as recognizing the
granddaughter of Master Sergeant Roddie
Edmonds, whom Trump explained was the senior non-commissioned officer
among a group of POWs in Germany’s Stalag IX-A, near
Ziegenhai...the man who uttered the now famous line, “We
are all Jews,” thus saving the lives of over 200 of his fellow
Jewish POWs. Also, President Trump spoke of last week’s honoring
Rick Rescorla, a Vietnam veteran who died while directing the
evacuation of the South Tower on 9/11.
“The men and women who have donned our nation’s uniforms
are the bravest, toughest, strongest and most virtuous warriors ever
to walk on Earth,” Trump told the crowd, which was quite apropos after a not so small group of anti-Trump protesters clashed with
and disrespected another WWII veteran, believed to be a veteran by the
name of Jimmy Bishop, who had come to the parade to honor those who
fought alongside him as well as to honor our Commander-in-Chief, and
actually showed for all to see what what real courage and fortitude
looks like, and what total cowardly scum these anti-Trump miscreants
really are.
And in spite of all the negativity the media chose to focus on,
President Trump and First Lady Melenia Trump truly did our nation and
our veterans proud, while at the same time those who chose to
dishonor our president and in doing so dishonored our veterans as
well, actually showed for all to see why President Trump will be
elected to a second term in office by an even bigger margin than in
2016.
Another newsworthy story from last week also given but cursory
coverage at best...coverage that like with President Trump paints her
in the negative...regards former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and her
claims against both former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and
former White House Chief of Staff Marine Corps General John
Kelly...men whom she says were “exhausting” to deal with,
especially Rex Tillerson.
In her new book 'With All Due Respect,' Haley writes of a private
conversation where Tillerson and Kelly “defended resisting
President Trump out of necessity,” and
in a recent interview with CBS Evening News senior anchor Norah O’Donnell she
added, "[I]nstead of saying that to me, they should've
been saying that to the president, not asking me to join them on
their sidebar plan." Exactly,but
both men as per their words have proven themselves to be cowards and
worse...as in traitors possibly set-up to infiltrate the Trump White
House. And they're cowards in that they claimed, as per Haley, “that
when they resisted the president, they weren't being insubordinate,
they were trying to save the country” never specifying saving
the country from what or from who, just that, as per Tillerson, that
if he didn't do what he did that “people would die…."
And while on the surface this
seems quite odd, at least coming from General Kelly, the very general
who was highly critical of Trump's predecessor Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his push to
open combat roles to women. Saying it was his belief that Obama's
push was solely "agenda-driven," and that it would lead to lowering the military standards, Kelly
also opposed Obama's efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
And yet as odd as these words
seem, Nikki Haley has no reason whatsoever to lie about these two gentlemen.
Now at this point in the CBS interview Nikki Haley did admit that
she should have directly told both men to go tell President Trump
what and where their differences lie, and that they should have
voluntarily left their positions if they didn't like Trump's
policies. Remember, Trump eventually replaced both men over policy
differences.
Continuing on in the interview, Haley said that “to undermine
a president is really a very dangerous thing. And it goes against the
Constitution, and it goes against what the American people want. And
it was offensive," and by all accounts she's right,
especially in regards to Gen. Kelly. And why is Haley right in
regards to Gen. Kelly...a gut feeling on my part perhaps due to the
fact that I personally never felt comfortable with or fully trusted
the general to be Chief of Staff because I felt he was a bit too
similar in his placating temperament regarding islam...a bit too
similar to both Gen. James 'Mad Dog' Mattis and Lt. H.R. McMaster in
that respect...with both these men also being let go from positions
within the Trump cabinet.
And what were Rex Tillerson's and General John Kelly's responses
to former Ambassador Nikki Haley's accusations? When asked by CBS,
Gen. Kelly replied, “If by resistance and stalling she means
putting a staff process in place...to ensure the (president) knew all
the pros and cons of what policy decision he might be contemplating
so he could make an informed decision, then guilty as charged.”
Again, this seems
quite logical on the surface, but I ask then why did the general also
speak about “saving the country” when that is exactly what
President Trump has been doing from the day he took office...”saving
the country” unless Gen. Kelly has an unbeknownst agenda of his
own.
As for Rex Tillerson, the man Nikki Haley said was dismissive of
her opinions and that he did not make any secret about the fact that
he believed his views carried more weight than hers, he now claims
that “During my service to our country as the Secretary of
State, at no time did I, nor to my direct knowledge did anyone else
serving along with me, take any actions to undermine the President.”
In other words Rex Tillerson is outwardly calling former U.N.
Ambassador Nikki Haley a liar, and I have an uneasy feeling as to
why.
Simply, while serving as our U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley stood
strong alongside President Trump in supporting the Jewish State of
Israel's right to exist. She supported our embassy's move to Jerusalem...Tillerson on-the-record did not...as well as Haley on numerous occasions calling out those sending
rockets into Israel as well as publicly, on the floor of the U.N.,
calling to task Iran itself for their wanting to wipe Israel off the
map. Also, Nikki Haley was and still is rightfully not in support of a “two-state
solution” regarding the so-called Palestinians while both Rex
Tillerson and Gen. Kelly were and still are, as they seem to be either aligned with the
wrong side, were trying to protect their own political reputations, or a combination of both.
And it's here regarding Israel most especially, where I
believe the final breaking of ranks emanates from, that and the fact
that Nikki Haley has publicly defended President Trump in regards to
the impeachment inquiry...the impeachment “witch
hunt” that has morphed into a "political coup"...something I would surmise that both men support
whether or not Haley's accusations are true...which I happen to unequivocally believe they are.
So there you have two news stories from last week that while
reported on were done so only to a cursory and very limited degree...two news stories that do need more importance
given to them not only because of their content, but for the simple fact that the non-stop
impeachment going nowhere channels are truly becoming
quite the partisan bore. Copyright @ 2019 Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / All Rights Reserved.
