I’m a physician, and what is not being reported are the number of physicians fleeing medicine all together. Our most experienced oncologist at this hospital just announced his retirement as of January 1st. He’s 52. The cardiology group will stop seeing hospital patients, general surgeons not taking ER call, neurologists are longer performing EMGs, and I could go on for pages. My group is the third biggest group in the country in my specialty. We experienced 26% GROWTH this past year and our revenue was DOWN 17% from the previous year. There are even more draconian cuts coming in January. MOST of my specialty will be forced to close their practice permanently as they will lose money with every patient they see. You cannot make that up on volume. This means there will be hospitals that will literally have to stop all patient care activities as no department in the hospital can function, by law, without my specialty.
As bad as anyone THOUGHT Obamacare MIGHT be, it will be FAR, FAR WORSE. I stated years ago that this might be the single most destructive piece of legislation in the history of the world as it will simultaneously with a single pen stroke destroy the economy, destroy the best health care system ever seen, and put more people into the unemployment line than we’ve ever seen before.

Dem Sen. Joe Manchin Calls For Delaying Obamacare Individual Mandate After White House Announces New Delays…

With all the White House carved out Obamacare exemptions, and strategic delays to Obamacare implementation, how much do you want to bet the delay for all Labor Union impacts is close at hand.     Watch.
Doctor ObamaSometime.. soon as the fiscal issues are resolved (CR’s issued and debt ceiling raised) there will be a Friday afternoon announcement noting that due to his magnanimous constitution, and out of an abundance of concern for listening to people, and because he is just a wonderful moderate, President Obama will exempt/delay labor unions from Health Insurance plan implementation under Obamacare.  Watch.
WASHINGTON DC – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia broke ranks with fellow Democrats and said he’d support a stopgap spending plan that delays the individual mandate in President Barack Obama’s health-care law.
“There’s no way I could not vote for it,” Manchin said at a Bloomberg Government breakfast today. “It’s very reasonable and sensible.”
The individual mandate is the linchpin of the law that requires most Americans to purchase health care through government-run insurance exchanges. Republicans, led by a group of newcomers in the House, are pushing to dismantle the health-care law and are using a ticking clock on a possible Oct. 1 government shutdown as leverage. (more…)

Senator Ted Cruz: "I rise in opposition to Obamacare" – And So The "Cloture" Filibuster Begins….

updateSenators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and John Cornyn (R-TX) — the top two Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate — announced yesterday that they will support “cloture” on the government funding bill, giving Harry Reid and the Democrats a procedural green light to fund Obamacare with only 50 votes. […] We knew Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn weren’t with us when they voted to fund Obamacare earlier this year. But then, under pressure from grassroots, they said they supported the effort to defund it. They even ran political ads in their home states to make voters think they were on their side.
But now, faced with the prospect of having to fight for the things they claim to believe, these Senate leaders have surrendered.
Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn have surrendered to Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and the Democrats. More importantly, they have surrendered to Obamacare — the biggest job killer in America. (link to do something about it)
It’s not an official Senate filibuster, because Harry Reid is using a procedural rules trick to strip the Obamacare defunding segment from the House Bill.    Ted Cruz is vowing to speak as long as possible to stop the “cloture” vote.
The “Cloture Vote”, is a pre-vote of sorts to enable Harry Reid to remove the Obamacare aspect with a simple 51 votes – Which Harry Reid has with Democrats alone.
Therefore anyone who votes for cloture is actually voting to support the Harry Reid process, and voting to support, ie. fund,  Obamacare.
This is where the Decepticons in the Republican ranks will show their manipulative faces.   They will vote for “cloture”, which relies on Republican support because the threshold is 61 votes affirming, then turn around and vote against the bill’s passage because their votes are not needed because the threshold drops to 51 votes (a simple majority) to pass.
So the Decepticons like Mitch McConnell will vote for cloture, then vote against the bill, and return to their campaign base claiming they voted against the bill.    The truth is they voted to support the bill, then voted against it only because after cloture it will pass without their support.

Bring Back The Moat Idea – Federal Catch and Release Illegal Immigration on Display in Texas…

McCOOK – Texas Department of Public Safety troopers briefly detained and then released about 20 people suspected of being in the country illegally Saturday morning on a farmer’s land 24 miles north of central Mission, the landowner said.
illegals_crossing_border_future_demsAbout 8 a.m. Saturday, Lee Adams said he noticed “a lot of activity” in the brush on his large rural property. He called a DPS trooper, who called for backup. A group of troopers – which included five cars and two helicopters – eventually rounded up a group of people who appeared to possibly be in the country illegally, Adams said.
But in less than an hour, the cars and helicopters scattered, allowing the people they detained to do the same. (more…)

They're Inside The Wire….. Trojan Horse Decepticons Send Opposition Research To Chris Wallace To Attack Ted Cruz


Methinks the crew deeply seated in the tall Corinthian leather wingbacks have decided to take down another Senate Conservative. These are the same ‘pinky off the rocks glass’ Decepticons who soaked the tip of their Cubans during the discussions to get rid of former Conservative leader Jim DeMint.

Assad's Claim Of Non-WMD Use Gains Credibility – The Gas Missiles Used "were not sold to Syria"…

Syria Banner
LIBYA(UK Independent)  While the Assad regime in Damascus has denied responsibility for the sarin gas missiles that killed around 1,400 Syrians in the suburb of Ghouta on 21 August, information is now circulating in the city that Russia’s new “evidence” about the attack includes the dates of export of the specific rockets used and – more importantly – the countries to which they were originally sold.
They were apparently manufactured in the Soviet Union in 1967 and sold by Moscow to three Arab countries, Yemen, Egypt and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya. These details cannot be verified in documents, and Vladimir Putin has not revealed the reasons why he told Barack Obama that he knows Assad’s army did not fire the sarin missiles; but if the information is correct – and it is believed to have come from Moscow – Russia did not sell this particular batch of chemical munitions to Syria.

Common Core Education – Jeb Bush Demands Parents Comply, and If You Object You'll Be Arrested – As One Parent, Robert Small, Found Out… They Arrested Him For Asking Questions

This is why we use the term “Decepticons” to identify big government Republicans who are as complicit in the elimination of freedom.   Jeb Bush is one such decepticon who is trying to federalize education with the guise of “Common Core Curriculum”. 
One parent found out the hard way what happens when you do not comply.

First the demands of The Jeb – Former Fla. GOP Gov. Jeb Bush, consummate politician and 2016 presidential aspirant, has now bitterly accused opponents of his federal education schemes of possessing “purely political” motives. Projection, anyone?

Having previously suggested that critics of the so-called Common Core standards program are crazy, ignorant and lying, Bush piled on at a National Press Club appearance this week. Jeb the Insult Comic Dog did not hold back. Not only is the growing anti-Fed Ed movement of parents, teachers, school board members, academics, privacy advocates and state legislators of all stripes “purely political,” Bush sniped, but the Common Core backlash that’s causing him conniption fits is also opposed to academic excellence.
Yep. If you question Jeb Bush and his Big Business/Big Government cronies, you stand foursquare against student achievement and intellectual rigor. Pay attention, all you informed moms and dads who have raised pointed, carefully researched questions about the costs, quality, validity, constitutionality and intrusiveness of Common Core. Bush thinks you are “purely political” beasts who are recklessly harming your own kids’ scholastic advancement. (more…)
