Here’s What Rashida Tlaib Blamed a Palestinian Honor Killing On
Posted at 10:13 am on September 02, 2019 by Bonchie
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., questions Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, as he testifies before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2019, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
This past Thursday, a Palestinian woman named Israa Ghareb was murdered by her brothers in a hospital bed. This happened in public, with staff knowing exactly what was happening. No one intervened or tried to stop it. No one was arrested or punished. There are reasons for that, which will get into momentarily.
This led Rep. Rashida Tlaib, noted anti-Semite and Palestinian activist, to put out a tweet denouncing the killing. That might typically be seen as a positive if it weren’t so full of obfuscation so as to once again show her lack of ability to condemn the real causes of violence from her people. And to be clear, Tlaib pointedly claims the Palestinians as her people. That is not my assumption simply based on her familial origins.
Here’s the tweet in question.
Ah yes. The real problem here isn’t Palestinian culture, buttressed by centuries of Muslims committing honor killings as part of their religious beliefs. No, it’s nebulous “toxic masculinity.” That’s why Western cultures, which had plenty of “toxic masculinity” throughout history, also had epidemics of honor killings. Wait, they didn’t? Then perhaps that should point to the fact that masculinity, though it can certainly be weaponized in harmful ways toward women, is not the primary driver of honor killings.

Confused old man Joe Biden wants to ban gun ‘magazines that have multiple bullets in them’
By Thomas Lifson
Nothing that former Vice President Biden says can be taken literally. But in fairness gun control enthusiasts often embarrass themselves with their ignorance of proper terminology, and of the existing laws on gun control that often go unenforced, when they call for new legal restrictions on the second item in the Bill of Rights.
However, it actually may be possible that Biden meant what he said when he called for a ban on all “magazines that have multiple bullets in them” – which be all magazines, since there is no need for a magazine on a gun that fires only bullet, such as the single-shot Derringer pistol that John Wilkes Booth used to kill President Lincoln.

Watch Biden speaking to reporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and see if you think he meant it.
Why don't you tell us Magoo...?
Can you show a link?
Or is that something you thought you'd read while waiting at the proctologista ?
Can you, being the smartest egg in the basket prove the statement is false?
People were able to pay for whatever plan they wanted, which was sufficient coverage for them.
Unlike yourself many folks prefer to decide what they want and need, they don't need the government coddling them from the cradle to the grave...
You really should the fuck up.
At its peak in October 2010, unemployment in the US topped out at 10.0%. As of July 2019, that number has decreased and now stands at 3.7%.

Stacey and Eddie Albert lead pretty healthy lives. She's a nutritionist. He's a personal trainer. They rarely go to the doctor, other than their annual physicals.
For years, they were covered by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. In 2013, they paid about $360 a month for a plan that met their needs.
That all changed the following year, when Obamacare took effect. Their premium shot up to around $650 a month for a policy that came with pediatric dental coverage and maternity services -- benefits they didn't use or want since they don't have kids. They ended up dropping the plan after several months and even went a year without coverage for the first time in the decade they've been together, exactly the opposite of what Obamacare was supposed to do.
The Neptune, New Jersey, couple recently re-enrolled in a policy that costs about $700 a month. They feel it's too much of a gamble to be uninsured, but wish they could go back to their pre-Obamacare plan.
"It took care of what we needed," said Stacey Albert, 38, who owns Ultimate Fit Zone gym with her husband and earns too much to qualify for Obamacare's federal subsidies. "We didn't use it that much. We just don't want to pay for all that coverage."
The now-shelved GOP health care bill was geared toward stripping away Obamacare's requirement that insurers provide only comprehensive coverage, including mental health, maternity, medication and preventative care. Republicans argue that Americans have the right to choose what benefits they want covered -- including very few services in so-called catastrophic plans, which have low premiums.
Those skinny plans suited some Americans just fine. Many didn't even know the limits of the pre-Obamacare plans because they never used enough services to become aware of them.
"They made the Affordable Care Act so ridiculously overbuilt that it's killing people like me who pay for it," said Tom Buxton, 59, of Littleton, Colorado. "I don't need two doctor visits a year unless I want them. That should be my choice. I didn't go to the doctor for five years."
A self-employed business consultant, Buxton used to pay $666 a month for a policy for him and his wife, Jennifer. Each had to pay a $3,000 deductible before coverage kicked in. They paid out-of-pocket for the few medical issues they had.
After Obamacare began, their insurer, Golden Rule, offered them a plan for $1,200 a month with a $6,500 deductible each. Unwilling to pay that much, Buxton searched for alternate options. This year, the couple is covered through Medi-Share, offered by Christian Care Ministries, which meets the criteria for coverage under Obamacare.
"I was trying to find [a policy] that didn't cost me $1,000 more for less coverage," he said.
The couple pays $560 a month, with a $5,000 deductible between them. The catch is that it doesn't cover any pre-existing conditions for the past three years, so Buxton has to pay for physical therapy stemming from the hip replacement and shoulder surgeries he had last year. But he's okay with that.
For Greg Silvestro, the policy he had prior to Obamacare and the one he found on the Florida exchange for 2017 were pretty similar -- both have deductibles of about $7,000 and wouldn't be used much.
But there was one big difference: The Obamacare policy costs $338 a month, more than three times as much as his old plan.
"To me, it's the same thing: catastrophic coverage," said Silvestro, 40, a real estate agent and gym owner in Tampa.
He begrudgingly signed up for the Obamacare plan, but the huge price increase forced him and his wife to curtail their spending and standard of living. (A public school teacher, his wife is insured through her job, but it would cost $500 a month to cover him through her policy.)
The high premium also prompted him to look for alternatives. He learned about Medi-Share a few weeks ago and joined it. He now pays $188 a month for a policy with a $5,000 deductible.
"The bottom line is the fact that the coverage of all these plans is basically the same for me," he said. "However, the cost of Obamacare is substantially higher."

The Economy That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen: Booming Jobs, Low Inflation
Maybe using data from a few decades in the middle of the 20th century to set policy in the 21st isn’t such a good idea.
By Neil Irwin May 3, 2019
The labor market the United States is experiencing right now wasn’t supposed to be possible.
Not that long ago, the overwhelming consensus among economists would have been that you couldn’t have a 3.6 percent unemployment rate without also seeing the rate of job creation slowing (where are new workers going to come from with so few out of work, after all?) and having an inflation surge (a worker shortage should mean employers bidding up wages, right?).
And yet that is what has happened, with the April employment numbers putting an exclamation point on the trend. The jobless rate receded to its lowest level in five decades. Employers also added 263,000 jobs; the job creation estimates of previous months were revised up; and average hourly earnings continued to rise at a steady rate — up 3.2 percent over the last year.
Compare that reality with the projections the Federal Reserve published just three years ago. In mid-2016, Fed officials thoughtthat the long-run rate of unemployment would be around 4.8 percent, and that this would coincide with 2 percent inflation.
If that were the jobless rate today, 1.9 million Americans would not be working who are instead gainfully employed. And despite this ultralow unemployment rate, inflation is only 1.6 percent over the last year, below the level the Fed aims for.

Attaboy Magoo...
I knew you had it in you.
For what it's worth here's a couple of comments from the post article:
Ezra is assuming that Hawkins gets his health care from the National Health Service. He does not, and if he could not afford private insurance, he would most certainly not receive care under the NHS NICE program.
I read in the NY Times recently that if your care will cost more than $49,000/year, you are denied and told to go curl up in a corner and die.
Hope and Change, 2012!
Oh, please. Only people hooked into the JournoList Borg brain would be so unaware to think that IBD doesn't realize that Hawkings is...um...alive.
Their obvious point was that if Hawkings didn't have money to purchase supplemental insurance, if he were just an average person, the NHS would have let him die long, long ago. The NHS absolutely rations care for those with expensive, terminal illnesses.
Arguing the IBD just "missed" that the man is alive makes you a smirking idiot.
Posted by: Chris_40
Apparently, you believe the anonymous comment from "Chris_40" more than you believe IBD, who issued a "correction", and Hawking himself --
The paper has since been notified that Hawking is both British and still among the living. And it has edited the editorial, acknowledging that the original version incorrectly represented the whereabouts of perhaps the world's most famous scientific mind. But it has not acknowledged that its mention of Hawking misrepresented the NHS as well.

I asked Joe, so I will ask you.
What were the radical changes that Obama brought?
Besides being black, I mean.
We can point to 5 of Trump's radical changes; name 2 of Obama's.
Where did I say "radical" changes?
Never did...Obama pushed the political pendulum as far left as he could.
If you think Obama doesn't have a left wing view of politics then you're blind.
Regarding color or what sex our President is...I could care less.
I'm talking about why Trump was elected...the pendulum swings back after eight years and Hillary.
This is what Michael Moore had to say about Hillary before the election:
The Hillary Problem. Can we speak honestly, just among ourselves? And before we do, let me state, I actually like Hillary – a lot – and I think she has been given a bad rap she doesn’t deserve. But her vote for the Iraq War made me promise her that I would never vote for her again. To date, I haven’t broken that promise. For the sake of preventing a proto-fascist from becoming our commander-in-chief, I’m breaking that promise. I sadly believe Clinton will find a way to get us in some kind of military action. She’s a hawk, to the right of Obama. But Trump’s psycho finger will be on The Button, and that is that. Done and done.
Let’s face it: Our biggest problem here isn’t Trump – it’s Hillary. She is hugely unpopular — nearly 70% of all voters think she is untrustworthy and dishonest. She represents the old way of politics, not really believing in anything other than what can get you elected. That’s why she fights against gays getting married one moment, and the next she’s officiating a gay marriage. Young women are among her biggest detractors, which has to hurt considering it’s the sacrifices and the battles that Hillary and other women of her generation endured so that this younger generation would never have to be told by the Barbara Bushes of the world that they should just shut up and go bake some cookies. But the kids don’t like her, and not a day goes by that a millennial doesn’t tell me they aren’t voting for her. No Democrat, and certainly no independent, is waking up on November 8th excited to run out and vote for Hillary the way they did the day Obama became president or when Bernie was on the primary ballot. The enthusiasm just isn’t there. And because this election is going to come down to just one thing — who drags the most people out of the house and gets them to the polls — Trump right now is in the catbird seat.
