Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

Tweet of the Day
I had to Google search to find Greenfield's column.Half the Trumpkins tweeting don't realize it's a sympathetic post "The Civil War is Here"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Greenfield is being melodramatic. Most conservatives rejected Obama despite his 51% of the vote. Trump had less. "The Civil War is Here"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Trumpkins like to point at Trump's sparsely-populated county wins; by congressional districts, 230-205. "The Civil War is Here"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
In a change election year, Trump polled only 46% of the vote, one of the lowest winning % in American history "The Civil War is Here"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Well, let's check into Trump's latest job approval ratings (Gallup). He's down to a Presidential low of 36% (-21). Not good for the midterms— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
In a tweet a while back, I pointed out that Carter was a one-term POTUS. Of course. George HW Bush was another. Trump is soon to join them.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Both Republicans and Democrats are hypocrites. Under principles of federalism, local policies matter. "Attorney General Jeff Sessions"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Sessions' threat to cut funds to non-compliant cities is unconstitutional for the same as ObamaCare Medicaid extortion "Sanctuary Cities"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Trump is still in a state of denial over the implicit defeat of Trump/RyanCare. Trying to blame the Freedom Caucus is absurd: DOA in Senate— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
The Democrats are still in a state of denial over ObamaCare. They wanted to mandate below-cost coverage; companies said, mandate profitable.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Government stands in the way of health care market competition. It mandates special-interest, costly benefits instead of the marketplace.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
If younger people were paying premiums congruent with their lower health care risks, their rates would be lower and more would buy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
But the government has stupid, anti-competitive rules: no, you can't publish your prices if you take govt money;no,you can't offer barebones— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
The public policy rule should be: does this policy result in more market competition or less? Does it improve consumer prices, choices?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Public policy can say, you can enroll in a government plan. But that doesn't guarantee you a doctor; doctors don't like dealing with govt.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
The government knows how to make rules for doctors; it's more clueless in how to compete for providers in a competitive marketplace.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
What the federal government could legitimately do is enable vendors to write catastrophic policies and/or to pool health risks across states— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 27, 2017
Do you partisan hacks think that Nancy "you've got to vote for it to see what's in it" Pelosi is a policy guru? "Brought Down to Size"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 28, 2017
Speaker Ryan had an impossible task: pass something that Senate left-fascist Dems wouldn't filibuster "Brought Down to Size"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 28, 2017
We libertarians hate Steve Bannon because he lives in the real world https://t.co/siDxMU8k49— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 28, 2017
Trump is quite the delusional retard https://t.co/WeKCWw8GMX— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 28, 2017

Musical Interlude: My Favorite Vocalists
Peter Cetera, "You're the Inspiration". Cetera covers the hit he wrote and sang while part of Chicago. It's so sad to see Cetera and Chicago at odds. He wanted the freedom like Mick Jagger, Phil Collins and Steve Perry to do solo projects while remaining with the band, but the band's concert tours conflicted with that. I'm about as interested in Chicago without Cetera as Journey without Perry. Those vocalists are in a league of their own.
