President Donald Trump, who as you've heard, is a "white supremacist," went to bat for three Black UCLA basketball players detained in China for shoplifting. They got themselves arrested last week for stealing sunglasses in Hangzou, where their team played a game against Georgia Tech. Thanks to the efforts of this "racist, bigot, xenophobe" president, who spoke up for the Bruins' shoplifters with China's leader, all three have returned to Los Angeles.

PLEASE SHARE. I see that Cardi B is politically advocating for Bernie Sanders with claims that Trump is bad. I would like publicly offer 250k to a political campaign of her choosing if she will publicly debate her stance with either myself or ANY black conservative I choose.

Until recently, most Mexicans have treated the controversial Republican as an oddity or a bad joke rather than a serious politician. But that could change as he stays atop the polls.

In almost every area of American life, the better things are, the worse it is for the Democratic Party. And vice versa. Marriage.

Police say a 17-year old remains in the hospital in critical condition, after the young father he tried robbing, shot him several times.

Apparently things became physical between representatives of two opposing Republican campaigns as a literal bar fight broke out late Thursday between  high-ranking staffers for the Rand Paul and Marco Rubio campaigns.

Surprising...

Kentucky Health Cooperative, an insurance co-op created by Obamacare, is closing its doors after massive losses. This is the fifth co-op to go under this year, following the failure of insurers in Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, and the largest co-op in the nation, New York.The 'risk corridor' program, what was supposed to reimburse insurance companies for part of their losses, simply isn't paying out enough money to offset the massive amount in claims being paid off. This is because less money is coming into the program than was expected.Washington Examiner:The cooperative, created under Obamacare to offer insurance to enrollees, said that losses started to mount and couldn't be overcome. A big problem is that the co-op had trouble paying out claims.'Kentucky Health Cooperative has paid millions of dollars in claims on behalf of our members,' Jennings said.The problem is that the cooperative was popular and many of the new members hadn't received health insurance. That led to a pent-up demand for health services, which created millions in claims, the co-op said.In 2014, the co-op's losses were about $50 million but slowed to $4 million in the first half of 2015, the company said.'We were on track to reverse direction and begin operating in the black, and we expected this to come about in 2016,' interim CEO Glenn Jennings said.But last week the co-op and other insurers found they would receive less money from the federal government this year to help pay for the sickest customers.The federal government doled out $362 million to insurers to help cover the costs of older, sicker Americans. The reason is the risk corridor payment program didn't bring in as much money as expected.The payments are determined through a mathematical formula that compares claims and premiums. Last year, payment requests by issuers exceed their charges, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said.The insurers had requested nearly $3 billion.Kentucky's co-op received $9.7 million, when it asked for $77 million.The co-op said Friday that it would continue to meet its financial obligations. It serves about 51,000 members but will stop providing services Dec. 31.About half of the state exchanges are facing financial difficulty of varying degrees while total Obamacare enrollment has dropped below 10 million. The entire system is being strangled by simple math; too much money is going out to pay claims and not enough in premiums is coming in. You have to wonder how many insurers would have jumped ship on the state exchanges if not for the risk corridor slush fund.As might be expected, Republicans pounced on the news of the co-op closing:Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the problems speak to the health law as a whole.“Barely a week goes by that we don’t see another harmful consequence of this poorly conceived, badly executed law,” McConnell said in a statement. “Despite repeated Obama administration bailout attempts, this is the latest in a string of broken promises with real consequences for the people of Kentucky who may now be losing the health insurance they had and liked twice within the past three years because of Obamacare’s failures.”Twenty one of twenty three state co-ops are losing money.

Israel's ambassador to the UN claims Palestinian children are being "taught to hate" as violent clashes continue in the West Bank.

The Republican base is joining Cruz in his displeasure with McConnell, who is often seen as a weak leader by Conservatives.

The head of America’s anti-COVID efforts has botched the job of protecting Americans and lied to Congress.
