The Altered States of Outcome

Everyone has hopes and wishes, some passing fancies, some rise to the sincere while others fade with time; the remains are those you work for and bring to life thru pure effort and force of will. Then, on the other hand, there are those which take on an entirely different caricature illustrated with and accompanied by the attributes of expectancy, the notion of inevitability, of certainty, of entitlement. An entirely different level of anointed outcome and one which, at this moment as we consider the various smearing-by-innuendo taking place in Washington, has no intention of giving way its privilege.

Comey-The Paralysis of Truth!

Setting aside for the moment that President Trump ignores the anemic and self-serving protocols of the predatory government bureaucracy and that his doing so allows the public to observe just how comprehensively corrupt the system is, the fact remains that regardless of which support-group one might favor it should be clear, by now, the Former FBI Director is the poster-child for the politically-corrupt second only to Messrs. McCain, Graham, Schiff and Schumer. A couple of key points, in no particular order, in support of my observation:

Comey- Draining a Puddle!

I’m annoyed by the syrupy deference offered Public Officials; a sort of wholesale reverence that transcends reason or justification particularly when the standards of performance are so incredibly low.

For all the rehashing of the Trump-Flynn-Russia menagerie I believe the most significant event was Ms. Yates’ explanation for why she chose not to defend Trump’s EO.

It has, and again today, been made abundantly clear that the original Travel Ban met the legal test sufficient to warrant backing by the DOJ. Yet, despite her well-scripted and rehearsed sermon-on-the-banal, it is abundantly clear that her actions were personal if not right out of Encyclopedia-Obama.

More specifically and to the point; it is not the AG’s function to adjudicate the discretion of the Policy-Making Apparatus any more than it is the privilege of an AG to camouflage their personal opposition by anticipating the arguments of a yet to be named or known Plaintiff.

Healthcare: Government Healthcare’s Here to Stay!

While it appears that the Republicans have managed to assemble a Repeal & Replace Bill two fundamental truths have now emerged:

(1) The American Public, prompted by the progressive antics of cradle-to-grave mythologies, consider Healthcare Coverage a fundamental right and privilege with an expectancy that the costs associated with the same will somehow magically relieve them of any personal responsibility.

(2) If any Bill emerges that does not link the cost of providing these Benefits to the market-forces driving Healthcare Costs then you can kiss any potential for Fiscal Management goodbye.
