The fatal mistake: Hospitals and providers agreed to take cuts after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, because they assumed that the law would increase the number of people with insurance and decrease the number who couldn’t pay their hospital bills.

A dark and dirty war that may one day hit you right in the gas tank: At the same time, however, there are many details available already that lend weight to their claims with regards to fighting in or around Najran, even if the Houthi’s assertions about the total number of Saudi casualties, and personnel and equipment they captured, remain dubious. The presence of LAV-25s, for example, strongly indicates that members of the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) were among those in the convoy that the Houthis attacked.

It is fun to pick on crazy people but it don’t accomplish anything. The example of perfectly crafted dissent that I’d like to submit here appears in this video from Massachusetts local TV news, showing some reactions to the fly-posting of white sheets of paper bearing the statement ‘Islam is right about women’. The reactions are deeply revealing. Nobody can clearly point out why they object to the statement – indeed, nobody seems to object to the statement at all on its face. Yet most seem to express offence at it – if a little unconvincingly.

Rare good news that is not reported.

Coming soon to a state near you.

Harvard’s Legacies Are Nothing to Be Proud Of Ironically, the main reason for Harvard’s success is due to the very practices that are attacked in this article. You don’t want to go to Harvard for a better education. You want to go to Harvard to network with rich people. If you did not give rich kids an easy pass into the university, how would that work? But to admit this is to admit how little real education takes place in universities around the country.

Controversial stuff from Pakistan. I don’t vouch for it, but it is interesting because it does not come from a US observer. “If ever there was a thought within Pakistan’s leadership — political, military, and business — that Beijing could replace Washington as the foreign capital with the most influence in Islamabad, that idea is now firmly dead. We just have not gotten around to telling China yet.”

Fair warning: lots of dubious speculation mixed in with fax along with unnecessary heavy breathing. Having said that, what is reasonably well documented and what is speculation is clearly separated.

In 2014 California passed Proposition 47, which made theft of property valued at less than $950 a misdemeanor offense. This is how it is working out……

You’ve likely seen the videos on social media or the local news: groups of people rushing into a store, grabbing armfuls of merchandise. The brazen crimes are on the rise and CBS13 has learned, in most cases, the crooks get away from authorities.

After searching police reports and arrest records, CBS13 found that while the rate of these grab and dash crimes is on the rise, the rate of arrest is down. We turned to law enforcement and the retail industry for answers. Both blame a California law intended to make “neighborhoods safe.”
