Elector Celebrates Trumps win by Burning all the Anti-Trump letters He received.

THE HILL:

A Republican elector in Ohio shared a video of himself burning heaps of letters urging him not to vote for President-elect Donald Trump after casting his Electoral College ballot Monday night.

Richard Jones, a sheriff in Butler County, Ohio, was one of the 18 Ohio electors who cast their votes for Trump on Monday.

“Got a lot of letters to burn,” he says in a video, puffing on a cigar as he throws letters into an outdoor fire pit. “Going to be burning letters all night.”

Jones posted pictures and videos of him burning the letters on his Twitter account Monday night. A CBS affiliate in Ohio first reported on Jones’s celebration, and said he has long been a Trump supporter.

The letters, he said, were from thousands of people across the country urging him not to vote for Trump. They burned in a fire pit while a Trump-Pence campaign sign sat on the grass the background.

“It’s over, we’ve got a new president,” Jones says in one video. “Thanks to America and thanks to Ohio for the electoral votes and gave me the chance to be an elector.”

Anti-Trump groups pressured Republican electors to vote for an alternative when they convened at state houses to vote on Monday. The effort fell flat when Trump sealed his victory with 304 electoral votes. Only two GOP electors — both from Texas — defected.

Five Democratic electors successfully chose other candidates than nominee Hillary Clinton.

Dead FL Veteran Left in Shower Room for More Than NINE HOURS by VA Staff!

NY Daily News

Staff members at a VA hospital in Florida left a veteran’s body lying in a shower room for nearly 10 hours, then tried covering up a series of protocol violations, a report revealed Sunday.

An internal review from the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System exposed severe lapses stemming from the death earlier this year. The Tampa Bay Times obtained the report through a Freedom of Information request.

…

An internal investigation revealed that some staffers “falsely documented” the incident and blamed the confusion of a communication problem that never occurred.

Some staffers also failed to follow procedures for reporting a death, and lied about the hospice being short staffed at the time, the report said.

Hospital spokesman Jason Dangel called the actions “unacceptable” and said “appropriate personnel action was taken.” The hospital did not give specifics on whether anyone was reprimanded.

But Florida Rep. Gus Bilirakis said in a statement that no one was fired for the failures.

Obamacare: 1 in 4 children do not get the health care they need

In case you needed any more proof that Obamacare has been a spectacular failure, a new report from the Children’s Health Fund shows that more than one fourth of American children do not get the health care they need. According to the report, 3.3 million American children are uninsured.

Making matters worse, there are 20 million children in America who do have insurance but still do not have access to the necessary health care. More than 10 million children are insured but do not have access to primary care and regularly miss checkups as a result. 6.7 million kids on CHIP or Medicaid have access to primary care, yet they are not getting their subspecialty care needs met, such as those that need to see a pediatric endocrinologist or pediatric cardiologist.

Report co-author Dr. Irwin Redlener said that some children live in communities that have fewer than one doctor per 3,000 people, while others do not have access to affordable transportation to go to the doctor when needed.

Incredibly, he expressed concern about president-elect Donald Trump’s plans to repeal Obamacare! It’s hard to imagine why he would want to hold on to a program that leaves a quarter of the nation’s children without health care. His own report actually points out the ways that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) needs to be amended:

The ACA should be amended to reduce copayments, premiums, cost-sharing, and out of pocket payments for lower-income families, as well as increase subsidies and fix existing “glitches” that prevent families in need from gaining marketplace tax credits.

Children affected the most by premium increases

These are not minor fixes, and it’s clear that the system is failing to deliver on its promises. Children have been more adversely affected by the premium increases caused by Obamacare than any other group, with their premiums tripling. This is due in part to the fact that this age group is considered the healthiest segment of our population, which means they saw very low premiums when they were charged based on their risk. In fact, a family in Kansas could pay for insurance for three children in 2009 for less than it costs to insure just one child in 2016.

The report also calls for the ACA to increase the reimbursement rates for providers who treat communities that are underserved to help decrease access barriers. In addition, it calls on policymakers to provide incentives to health providers who are willing to serve poor communities.

Obamacare has failed us on so many levels

Where has Obamacare gotten us so far? Under the Affordable Care Act, premiums have skyrocketed by as much as 67 percent in some cases. Seventeen of the country’s 23 Obamacare co-ops have collapsed so far because they cannot attract enough members to stay afloat. This year, 8 million Americans were hit with more than $3 billion in penalties from the IRS for not buying health insurance, and deductibles are soaring.

Even Bill Clinton referred to the Affordable Care Act as “the craziest thing in the world” at a rally, pointing out that some people were paying double in premiums for half of the coverage they once had.

This is the plan that Dr. Redlener is so concerned that Trump wants to get rid of?

It’s pretty clear to anyone who looks at the facts that the system is not the wonderful solution that Obama promised it would be. Drastic changes are in order, and with the situation being this dire, it’s hard to blame Trump for wanting to scrap the Affordable Care Act entirely and try a different approach.

Entire Story Falsely Claiming Trump Won Because Of Russian Hacks Was Fabricated By Washington Post

The Washington Post has finally committed its most desperate act of credibility suicide, publishing a blatantly false, fabricated story that now claims Russia directly interfered with the election to deliver a victory to Donald Trump. Click here to read the WashPost fabrication in full.

The WashPost story does not name a single source for the accusation, and the obviously fabricated story serves primarily to provide cover for a previous story the Washington Post also faked (and then got caught faking).

“Journalism” at the WashPost, in other words, has devolved to the point where new fake stories are published to try to bolster the fabrications of old fake stories. All of them feed into the paranoid delusions of the hysterial left which has now entered the realm of clinically diagnosable mental illness when it comes to excuses for why Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump. (Next, we’ll hear tin foil hat theories that aliens or Bigfoot stole the election, no doubt…)

The delusional liberal media is now widely circulating the WashPost story as “fact,” citing the Washington Post as their source even though the Post cited no named person whatsoever. This is how the “circle of delusion” works in the “bubble” liberal media: One media source fabricates a piece of fake news, then they all repeat it, citing each other as “credible sources” until the entire population of gullible democrats believes the false narrative.

WashPost story completely bogus… and they know it

Donald Trump blasted the story. “These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,” said the Trump transition team.

“The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It’s now time to move on and ‘Make America Great Again.'”

RNC spokesman Sean Spicer also lashed out at the false WashPost “fake news” report. Via DailyCaller.com:

“The intelligence is wrong,” Spicer told Smerconish. “It didn’t happen. We offered the New York Times conclusive proof that it didn’t happen. They ignored it. They refused to look at it because it didn’t fit the narrative.”

The Washington Post is now actively engaged in treason against the United States of America

On January 21, 2017, one of the most important acts President Trump can initiate is the arrest and indictment of seditious Washington Post operatives who are actively working against the interests and national security of the United States of America.

The wholesale fabrication of false news stories by the Post, with the intended impact of denying Donald Trump the White House, is an act of sedition against this nation. It means the Washington Post, far from functioning as part of the “free press” to keep government honest, has decided to use its remaining influence to overthrow the government through the use of strategic, falsified articles that are timed to sway Electoral voters to throw their votes away from Donald Trump.

In fabricating these blatantly false and malicious news stories, the Washington Post is not engaged in journalism or an “expression of free speech.” This degree of news fakery and malicious interference with the election is, ironically, exactly what the Post ridiculously accuses Russia of doing. Publishing this brand of falsified information that carries such game-changing ramifications for the outcome of a democratic election is the geopolitical equipment of yelling “fire” in a crowded room.

This is precisely the kind of deeply malicious, misleading and knowingly false propaganda that the Trump administration must halt. The First Amendment does not protect malicious, anti-American “speech” that is intended to overthrow the legitimately and democratically elected President of the United States. It’s time to call for the arrest and prosecution of Washington Post propaganda operatives who are literally staging a “soft coup” via coordinated media fabrications.

The Washington Post has demonstrated it is a clear and present national security threat to the United States of America. They’ve gone beyond their usual news fakery and have now decided to actively work against the interests of democracy.

Companies are already Cancelling Plans to Set Up Operations In Mexico

Trump’s Threat Damps Companies’ Plans to Move U.S. Jobs Abroad

President-elect Donald Trump’s threat of retribution against companies that move jobs out of the U.S. is already having the effect he probably intended: some business leaders are pausing plans to seek foreign addresses.

Ross Baldwin, whose San Diego-based firm Tacna helps U.S. companies set up manufacturing operations in Mexico, said three new clients put their plans on hold until they see what Trump does as president.

At the McAllen Economic Development Corp., which assists companies seeking to expand across the Mexican border from the Texas city, two of five companies currently considering a move have put the brakes on their plans because of Trump, said Keith Partridge, the development corporation’s chief executive officer.

Trump’s Twitter vow that companies shifting jobs out of the U.S. will face “consequences” under his administration introduced new and difficult-to-gauge political risk for businesses considering offshoring to lower costs. The incoming president’s passion for the cause was underscored at his Dec. 1 rally to celebrate an agreement he reached with United Technologies Corp.’s Carrier unit to keep about 800 factory jobs in Indianapolis instead of moving them to Mexico.

“What they did in Indiana has made it clear to every board member in America that there is a clear and present danger in outsourcing” said Jim Courtovich, managing partner of the Washington public affairs firm Sphere Consulting, who said he has already heard from worried business executives.

GN Store Nord A/S looked into moving some hearing-aid production work from Minnesota to Mexico earlier this year but put the plan on hold because of U.S. campaign rhetoric, a person familiar with the matter said. GN wants to explore incentives to keep production in Minnesota and whether there would be penalties for relocating jobs to other countries, said another person. Both people asked not to be named because the discussions are private. 

GN doesn’t comment on internal deliberations and has “no plans whatsoever” to move its Minnesota production, Anders Hedegaard, CEO of GN Hearing, said in an e-mailed statement. “We have recently consolidated our U.S. production in Minneapolis, where we have invested heavily and increased staff. We are very pleased with the location.”

REVEALED: Muslim Teen made up story about Trump supporters attacking her on subway

A Muslim teen who claimed a trio of drunks had taunted her as a “terrorist” on a Manhattan subway train admitted she lied to cops — and was arrested by the NYPD Wednesday, sources said.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, is charged with obstructing governmental administration and filing a false report, according to a high ranking police source.

Both charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail.

Seweid, of Nassau County, had claimed the hateful drunks shouted “Trump! Trump!” and called her a “terrorist” as they tried to steal her headscarf.

“Go back to your country!” she said they shouted during the Dec. 1 attack.

But when cops tried to confirm her story by pulling surveillance video, inconsistencies appeared.

Hate crime investigators called the Baruch College business major in on Wednesday to work on another sketch of her so-called “attackers,” and confronted her with the inconsistencies, another source said.

That’s when she cracked, admitting that she had been out late drinking with friends, and made up the attack story to distract her angry father, sources said.

Seweid had been having problems with her Egyptian, strictly Muslim family in North New Hyde Park because she is becoming “westernized,” one source said.

The family problems were aggravated by their learning she was dating a Catholic, the source said.

Seweid’s older brother, Abdoul, was charged with four other teens with grand larceny and conspiracy back in 2012, when he was 17.

Nassau cops busted the five kids for allegedly breaking into parked cars and stealing the electronics and other goods inside.

In a striking parallel to the charges against his sister four years later, Abdoul was additionally charged with falsely reporting an incident.

Cops said he claimed when he was busted that his pal had been “assaulted by three unknown males,” according to a Newsday story at the time.

The disposition of those charges was not immediately available Wednesday night.

Yasmin Seweid’s claims of suffering a bias attack had sparked a week-long NYPD manhunt for the three alleged suspects.

She had also publicly complained that no one on the crowded train came to her aid, prompting much public discourse not only on the rise in hate crimes throughout the city, but on the callousness of commuters.

Seweid became the subject of a manhunt herself last week, when she ran away to her sister’s home in Fishkill, NY, leaving the rest of her family and cops desperate to find her again.

She was tracked down by Nassau cops, who found her because either she or the sister were posting on Facebook, sources said.

Sen. Barbara Boxer to introduce bill to end Electoral College and kick Trump Out of the White House

BY: CNN

Washington (CNN)Retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, who was an outspoken supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, is set to introduce a Senate bill that aims to end the Electoral College.

Boxer announced in a statement on Tuesday that the bill, which she planned to introduce later Tuesday afternoon, would determine the winner of presidential elections by the outcome of the popular vote.

She cited President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the Electoral College despite Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's apparent popular vote advantage.

Trump now praises Electoral College, says he could have won popular vote

"In my lifetime, I have seen two elections where the winner of the general election did not win the popular vote," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."

"In 2012, Donald Trump tweeted, 'The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy,' " Boxer added. "I couldn't agree more. One person, one vote!"

According to CNN's election results as of Tuesday, Clinton won 61,329,657 votes and Trump won 60,530,867.

This is the fifth time in history that a nominee has won the popular vote but not the Electoral College. The same situation happened to Al Gore in 2000, when he lost to George W. Bush.

The actual likelihood of Boxer's bill passing is low. It's a proposed constitutional amendment, which would require passage not only by two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, but then in three-quarters of states. A lame duck session and a Republican Congress will make it difficult to get such a bill through the legislative branch.

On Tuesday, Trump praised the Electoral College after previously criticizing the system. He said he could have won the popular vote if he campaigned differently.

Trump tweeted he would have won the populous states of Florida, New York and California if he had spent more time campaigning there.

Donald Trump Submits Design of Secure Southern Boder Wall to be Constructed.

President Elect Donald J Trump Has just submitted to congress what seems to be the design of the wall that is supposed to be built along the southern border to congress for immediate approval.

This information was revealed by an insider of The New York Observer Daily in the white house. And it seems to have sparked up a little controversy in Congress.

More update on this new development soon.

Paul Ryan Turns His Back On Donald Trump

Mr. Paul Ryan educated Republican legislators on a morning telephone call that he could never again battle for Mr. Trump and would commit himself rather to shielding the gathering's dominant part in Congress, as indicated by five officials who took an interest in the call and talked on the state of namelessness.

"The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities," Ryan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in a statement.

Adequately surrendering rout for his gathering in the presidential race, Mr. Ryan said his most pressing undertaking was guaranteeing that Hillary Clinton did not take control with Democratic control of the House and Senate, two legislators said.

The move - exceptionally unordinary in US political history - exposed the apparently unmanageable divisions now grabbing the Republican Party with a month left before the presidential vote. Bolster for Trump among the GOP foundation, officially feeble in the midst of differences over approach and tone, has now dissolved to new lows.

In a telephone call with individuals Monday morning, Ryan told administrators, "all of you have to do what's best for you and your region," as per somebody who listened to the meeting.
