". . . "Tonight as we speak right now, 500,000 Americans are sleeping out on the street, and yet companies like Amazon that made billions in profits did not pay one nickel in federal income tax," he said.

He's right, according to an analysis of corporate filings put out by the progressive think tank Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP.)

"We pay more for prescription drugs than any place, actually, in the world. We’ve got nothing to show for it," Bullock said during a round of questions about health care.

Close. Americans pay more for drugs than people in any other developed country in the world, CNBC reported, citing recent studies.

"When I went to Canada the other day, people paid 1/10th the price of insulin that they’re paying in the U.S," Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed Tuesday night.

Americans do pay 10 times more than Canadians for insulin, according to the reports documenting Americans who drive across the border to purchase the lower-priced insulin. The cost of insulin for treating Type 1 diabetes nearly doubled between 2012 and 2016, according to the nonprofit Health Care Cost Institute.
. . . . . . . . .
Sanders flubbed one of his regular talking points — that three people have more wealth than the bottom half of the nation.

We've fact checked the original talking point before, and it’s true that three people — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett — are estimated to have more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of the American population, according to a report by the left-leaning think tank Institute for Policy Studies.

Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one. . ."

Know . . .

. . . your bullies . . .

(from https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-elijah-cummings-tweets-dangerous-filthy-baltimore-2019-7)
". . . "Rep, [sic] Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border.". . ."



(from https://newrepublic.com/minutes/141894/elijah-cummings-tried-appealing-donald-trumps-ego-didnt-go-well)

". . . Trump claimed that (Elijah) Cummings (of Maryland) told him last month, “You will go down as one of the great presidents in the history of our country.” That wasn’t quite true. “During my meeting with the president and on several occasions since then,” Cummings explained to The Baltimore Sun, “I have said repeatedly that he could be a great president if—if—he takes steps to truly represent all Americans rather than continuing on the divisive and harmful path he is currently on.” . . . Appealing to Trump’s deep desire to be great wasn’t a crazy strategy for Cummings, but the results are telling. Not only did Trump ignore the conditional—the fact that achieving greatness would require serious changes—he tried to exploit this private conversation with Cummings for some cheap congrats. . . "

Love? . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/stephen-miller-couldn-t-disagree-more-charge-trump-stoking-racial-n1032086)
". . . Questioned how the congresswomen's criticisms of U.S. policies were any different than Trump's past condemnations of Obama and U.S. policy in general, (Steven) Miller (senior advisor for policy for President Donald Trump) said the president's statements (with regard to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan) were "out of love for America" while the congresswomen's were "anti-American." Trump was advocating, Miller said, for "the principles of Western civilization."

If Only . . .

. . .  this technology could be employed to eliminate racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and homophobic behavior . . .


(from https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/717487081/video-move-objects-with-your-mind-were-getting-there-with-the-help-of-an-armband)

". . . an armband that reads neuron activity to let you move objects in digital space. Then it goes further, giving you mental control of physical robots too. Think "the Force" from Star Wars. . . Could this fundamentally change the way we interact with our devices? The scientists and engineers behind it say that if this kind of intention-powered technology takes off, clunky keyboards and tiny smartphone screen buttons will be a thing of the past. Instead of controlling our tech with voice or touch, we'd control it with our thoughts. . ."

Unconvinced. . .

. . . (am I)  that THIS is not a mental competence issue!!! . . .


(https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/send-her-back-chant-blew-cover-trump-s-conflation-race-n1031346)

". . . "Send her back!" a crowd at Trump's rally in Greenville, N.C., chanted of Omar as Trump paused for well more than 10 seconds . . . The conflation of race and country are essential to understanding how Trump can stoke racial resentment — and then claim that's not what he's doing. . . Perhaps accidentally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., clarified that point in defending Trump on Thursday. . . "I really do believe that if you're a Somali refugee who likes Trump, he's not going to say 'Go back to Somalia,'" Graham said. "A racist says 'Go back to Somalia' because you're a Somalian or you're a Muslim or whatever, that's just the way he is.". . . And there's the rub: The racial resentment can be cloaked in the caveat that Trump is pleased with people of color so long as they never disagree with him. If they do, he will paint their dissent — and them — as un-American. And if he's saying their disagreement is about patriotism, then he can argue it's not about their race. . ."

Time takes its toll
Brings some bad with some good
Wear and tear; aging; fading;
Wisdom, knowledge withstood

Most joyful affair
Is when good friends unite
Sparking magical flare

The Fact . . .

. . . that the ancestors of both Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell ("none of us currently living are responsible" for what happened 150 years ago) were slave owners brings the point home that we, as a society, must seriously consider real, meaningful reparations. We are all accessories.

". . . Read the writings of Miriam Adelson, the Israeli-American wife of GOP mega donor Sheldon Adelson, and you'll find her case to expand the holy book with a story named after the 45th president of the United States. . . "Would it be too much to pray for a day when the Bible gets a 'Book of Trump,' much like it has a “Book of Esther” celebrating the deliverance of the Jews from ancient Persia?" Adelson wrote in a column published July 6 in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a newspaper the Adelsons own. . . Adelson contends Donald Trump "should enjoy sweeping support" among U.S. Jews and Israelis – so much so that he deserves pages in the Bible. . . "
