I came to America because of the great, great freedom
which I heard existed in this country.
I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom,
a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my lifetime.

The House will quickly approve the ObamaCare repeal bill changes,send to POTUS.Obama will veto;no doubt it will be sustained: Election 2016.

The ObamaCare repeal politically hurts the @realDonaldTrump campaign. The Congress' failure to repeal ObamaCare has frustrated the GOP base.

Even if Obama vetoes Senate healthcare reform,the writing is on the wall: vendors are abandoning the marketplace; there will be no bailouts.

@realDonaldTrump was bluffing in his failed attempt to extort a $5M appearance fee from CNN: since when has Trump turned down free airtime?

"Gun control will deter terrorists."-Obama. Reality check: terrorists don't obey the law, and they are emboldened by an unarmed populace.

Brandon Craig Short story is that my mom worked at a crisis pregnancy center and one pregnant lady said to her "I'll consider adoption if you will adopt the baby". Of course she said yes and they couldn't stop adopting. (My brother and I are bio kids but the youngest 10 are adopted). Each one has an awesome story.North Korea v Freedom
Political Potpourri
There's a new PPP (D) NH GOP Presidential poll with Trump hitting 27 for I think the third consecutive poll, 14 over Cruz, closely followed by Rubio, Christie, Carson, and Kasich, each clumping near 10%. The big news here is Christie reaching 10%, after weeks of struggling near the 1%'s, no doubt boosted by a major newspaper endorsement (not to mention a recent column by George Will). This makes the upcoming CNN debate (Dec. 15, NV) important for momentum heading into the new year.
Facebook Corner
(Reason). Rand Paul has introduced a bill, dubbed the "Stop Extremists Coming Under Refugee Entry (SECURE) Act, that would temporarily ban refugees from 32 Muslim-majority countries, as well as the Palestinian territories and North Korea, from entering the US.
This is pushing-on-a-string opportunistic political posturing. As a fellow libertarian-conservative, he should know that knee-jerk public policy such as the Democrats ritually calling for restrictions on self-defense over any prominent violent incident is unwise. As others have noted, nearly 1 million refugees have entered the country in recent years with no related incidents of domestic terrorism. (The Boston Marathon terrorists entered on tourist visas and were granted asylum.)
There is only one circumstance where I could see a bill like this introduced by a pragmatic libertarian--to stave off a more radical bill, e.g., prohibiting refugee entry. I see no evidence of this whatsoever, plus in the unlikely event it could survive a Senate filibuster, Obama would veto it and he has enough votes to sustain it. So all of this is political theater, and as a Rand Paul supporter, I'm deeply disappointed.
