Republicans are doing what they do as they attempt to offset blame for Norfolk Southern East Palestine derailment and environmental disaster on the government.

It is clear the Republicans are great at deflecting. They want Americans to blame Pete Buttigieg and the Biden Administration for the East Palestine derailment and environmental disaster.

I watched Chris Rock on Netflix this morning. It was clear that the Will Smith slap at the Oscars has affected Chris Rock’s comedy.

He was not as naturally funny as he normally is, IMHO. He went really hard on Jada Pinkett Smith as well, though I think he was harder on her than on Will Smith, which I think opens the door for some sexism concerns. That said, it was Chris Rock who was initially harmed. Chris Rock displayed a great degree of restraint when Smith slapped him.

Rock points out that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got on the internet and exposed their entire life but then got upset when he made a simple joke about her hair. The title of the skit was apropos, Selective Outrage. It was Selective Outrage that he went at Rock while not challenging the scores of people who have pointed out how weak Smith is. He said while the slap hurt, he knows it was not nearly as hurtful as the pain Jada caused Smith.

Chris Rock should be commended that on stage, he did not create a brawl that would have made an even bigger spectacle. He credits his upbringing.

Republicans would have you believe they bear no responsibility for the debt. The New York Times blows that out of the water. Listen to these two segments before getting Medicare & Medigap or Medicare Advantage.

Political Analyst Jaime Rodriguez visited with us to discuss the Democratic Party and much more.

David Suzuki points out that we reward those who harm us. Republicans strategically want us to look away from corporate bad deeds. A message about Chris Rock's Netflix skit Selective Outrage.

Republicans are doing what they do as they attempt to offset blame for Norfolk Southern East Palestine derailment and environmental disaster on the government. Sadly, the mainstream media is falling for it by giving the argument plausibility.

The reason we continue to have our environment placed in peril, our healthcare remains an immoral, inhumane mess, and our social safety net a disaster of inconsistencies is that we don’t reward excellence but gangsters. I’ve restarted our series, A Better Human Story with Andrew Schmookler, which explores much of this.

I watched Chris Rock on Netflix at 1 AM this morning while spinning. It was clear that the Will Smith slap at the Oscars has affected Chris Rock's comedy. He was not as naturally funny as he normally is, IMHO. He went really hard on Jada Pinkett Smith as well. I think Rock was harder on Pinkett Smith than on Will Smith, which I think opens the door for a discussion on sexism which is the political part.

President Joe Biden did not mince his words as he described what returning Republicans to power would do to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

President Biden enumerated what it would mean to our social safety net if Republicans were to return to power.

Medigap is the supplemental insurance that covers the 20% that Medicare does not cover. Private for-profit insurance is starting to scam seniors similarly to how they scammed Medicare Advantage recipients.

Recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren exposed an insurance industry ploy to scam millions of dollars from seniors. #Medigap is federally regulated supplemental health insurance offered by for-profit companies such as UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Aetna.  

The Medigap marketplace is polluted with incentive trips and other perks for brokers and agents who, in pursuit of such bribes, could be motivated to forcefully encourage seniors into the most expensive Medigap plans, regardless of whether those plans meet their needs."  

Warren found that the estimated 32 private companies that entice agents with vacations and other incentives to boost Medigap sales provided supplemental insurance to around 6.6 million people in the U.S. in 2021 and raked in nearly $16 billion in premiums from beneficiaries that year.

It is clear Republican Congressman Tom Cole did not expect an informed host like Ali Velshi to challenge his lies on Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act.

Unfortunately for Republican Representative #TomCole, #AliVelshi would not allow him to use our public airwaves to lie about #Obamacare, the #AffordableCareAct aka #ACA. Cole claimed that the price of the insurance was increasing. Velshi challenged his misinforming lies with actual data that showed a decrease in the rate of increases. More importantly, he challenged Cole and his Republican cohort for not having a replacement plan.

Healthcare activist Cathy Courtney appeared on Politics Done Right at KPFT to discuss Medicare and Medicare Advantage, which she calls Medicare Disadvantage.

Alex Murdaugh’s sentencing judge called out prosecutors. Sen. Elizabeth Warren exposes Medigap scam. We can only solve our political and economic problems by unchaining our minds.

Judge sentencing #AlexMurdaugh used the platform to highlight our unjust criminal justice system: Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman did not mince his words at Alex Murdaugh’s sentencing hearing. He made it clear that we have two systems of justice.  Why unchaining & un-enslaving our minds, not hope & faith, is the answer going forward: This is a story that illustrates that only after unchaining & un-enslaving our minds will we as a country attain the progressive policies we seek.  #WarrenElizabeth Report Exposes Insurance Industry Ploy to ‘Scam Millions of Seniors’: Private insurance giants are offering luxury vacations and other incentives for agents to “push seniors into the most expensive #Medigap plans,” the Massachusetts senator found.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is exposing insurance companies as they bribe seniors into more expensive Medigap plans. Barbados PM Mia Mottley schooled a misled journalist on 'third-world' corruption.
