Health insurance executives stand to be the sole beneficiaries of a small provision in Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Both the House and Senate repeal measures would free insurance companies from a part of the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — that effectively makes it more expensive for them to pay their CEOs.

Typically, when corporations pay taxes, they can save money by deducting the pay their employees receive from the income they report to the federal government. That fact effectively reduces the cost of firms’ payroll, encouraging employers to hire and pay their workers more than they would if corporations had to pay taxes on wages and salaries as well.

For well-paid executives, firms can deduct up to $1 million in cash — not including stock options and other forms of compensation that often form the bulk of executive pay.

But Obamacare created an exception to the general corporate rules that applied specifically to the insurance industry. Under the law, companies are only be allowed to deduct up to $500,000 for each executive — including stock options and other forms of payment.

By undoing that change, insurance companies would return to the same rules as other firms, and have a stronger incentive top offer big money to their top executives.
Liberal critics see it as a giveaway that will only encourage insurance companies to pay their executives more — although they will receive the same treatment as other CEOs, noted Mark Mazur, director of the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

There is not very much money at stake. Testifying in the House in March, Thomas Barthold, the chief of staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, said that eliminating the break would save corporations about $400 million over 10 years.

That is a trivial amount in the context of the overall bill. The legislation would also eliminate a broader tax on the insurance industry overall, which will save the sector $145 billion over the same period. In all, the House’s version would have forgone nearly $1 trillion in revenue over a decade.

Still, the provision has political significance.

When Democrats were working on Obamacare, they were reckoning with public outrage against what many saw as special treatment for certain industries. Obamacare benefited the private insurance industry financially and protected the sector politically by requiring many Americans to buy their products.

Possibly to deflect criticism from activists on the left, Democrats included this nominal penalty on the salaries of well-paid insurance executives. They were following a precedent President Bush had established in 2008, when he enacted a similar provision for the executives of companies that benefited from the Troubled Assets Relief Program. Opponents decried the program as a federal bailout for the financial sector.

While traditional Ramadan dinners at the White House may seem like a relatively recent addition to the schedule, the first was actually held in 1805 by President Thomas Jefferson.

The Washington Post reported:

The occasion was the presence of a Tunisian envoy to the United States, Sidi Soliman Mellimelli, who had arrived in the country just the week before, in the midst of America’s ongoing conflict with what were then known as the Barbary States.

And the reason for the dinner’s later-than-usual start was Mellimelli’s observance of Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims in which observers fast between dawn and dusk. Only after sunset do Muslims break their fast with a meal, referred to as an iftar.

Since then, other American presidents have observed the tradition — but in more recent years, it has become an annual occurrence. Former Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama held dinners in observance of Ramadan nearly every year.

George W. Bush even hosted such a dinner in the weeks that followed the 9/11 attacks, at the height of American anti-Muslim sentiment, saying:

“All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements. Ramadan and the upcoming holiday season are a good time for people of different faiths to learn more about each other. And the more we learn, the more we find that many commitments are broadly shared.”

But despite the fact that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson raised eyebrows when the State Department failed to host a Ramadan dinner, the White House Appears to have followed suit.

CNN reported:

Instead, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania released a statement on Saturday wishing “warm greetings” to those celebrating Eid al-Fitr, an important holiday marking the end of Ramadan.

“Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity,” they said. “Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life.”

President Trump instead marked Ramadan with an official statement, delivered May 26, the day before the Islamic holy month began. It read in part:

Politico recently came out with an explosive report on the controversy surrounding the Sanders. There is a lot to unpack, and despite the investigation going on for nearly a year, both the press and Sanders have avoided talking about it. Here are the main allegations:

-Jane Sanders might have purposefully lied about how much money Burlington College had to secure a $10 million loan. She said the college had $2 million in pledged donations, when in fact it had less than $1 million.
-Bernie Sanders may have used his political influence to secure the $10 million loan, which the bank approved despite the college’s obviously precarious financial state.

Jane Sanders became president of the college in 2004, and soon after began a legacy project that was supposed to grow the college’s campus size and student body. The college was very small, with roughly 200 students, no endowment, and an operating budget of about $4 million a year.

Despite the precarious financial position of the college, Jane wanted to buy a 33-acre lakefront property for $10 million, which would then need to be renovated for millions more. You don’t need to be an accountant to realize this kind of purchase made no financial sense.

President Trump is preparing for a criminal investigation into former FBI Director James Comey and Special Counsel Robert Mueller who are being accused of acting in a highly partisan manner against the Trump administration.Three Republican House Oversight Committee members confirmed on Friday that Comey and Mueller are to be investigated for misleading the American people last year when they agreed to downplay the Hillary Clinton scandal and refer to the investigation as a “matter” under the orders of then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Reps. Jim Jordan (OH), Mark Meadows (NC), and Jody Hice (GA) say that both Comey and Mueller are guilty of applying double standards when it comes to the Obama and Trump administrations. Breitbart.com reports: “He did it willfully. He did it intentionally. And he did it at the direction of Attorney General Loretta Lynch,” they wrote in a piece published on foxnews.com.
They also said Comey misled the American people in the early weeks of the Trump administration by “furthering the perception that President Trump was under investigation, when in fact he was not.”“He again did this willfully and intentionally,” they wrote.They also pointed out that Comey recently admitted having a friend leak one of his memos detailing a private conversation he had with Trump, after Trump fired him.

Comey admitted doing so to spark the appointment of a special counsel for the investigation into Russian interference and any collusion with the Trump campaign.That person appointed was Robert Mueller — Comey’s “mentor and predecessor,” they wrote.“The American people want justice to be blind. They want equal justice and equal protection for everyone. But Mr. Comey’s actions continue to call his impartiality, and the impartiality of the Holder and Lynch Justice departments, into question,” they said.They pointed out that on May 7, 2014, the House passed a resolution calling for a special counsel to investigate the IRS targeting of conservatives for their political beliefs.

“Comey and Attorney General Eric Holder blocked the appointment. This despite the fact that the lead investigator they assigned to the case, Barbara Bosserman, was a max-out contributor to President Obama’s reelection campaign,” they wrote.“This is the type of unequal justice that Americans despise. No special counsel in the IRS targeting investigation. No special counsel for the Clinton email investigation. But if it’s about protecting Comey’s reputation and hurting President Trump, then of course there has to be a special counsel,” they said.

Only a mere two weeks after moving full-time to her new home which is the White House, Melania Trump has done what she promised and stayed true to her reputation which has pointed to the fact that she is indeed quite the homebody. In fact even her Husband, President Donald Trump has always described her as a person who rather stay home with her family than to go out and be a social butterfly in the glamorous New York social scene.
As was previously reported the First Lady waited until her son Barron finished off the school year to move from their Manhattan penthouse apartment to the White House because President Trump and herself didn’t think it was fair to take their son out of his normal school mid school year. Plus Barron also wasn’t enjoying the fact that he would have to leave his hockey team which was in midseason when he father was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States of America.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday after lying about President Trump being under investigation. He knew otherwise the whole time. Chuck Schumer is a liar.
Senator Grassley showed his disgust for the Democratic party, the fake media and James Comey for trying to mislead the public on President Trump even being under investigation in the first place.

It was a big lie being perpetuated by the Democratic party.

Grassley: “After that meeting, I publicly called for Mr. Comey to tell the public what he had told us about whether President Trump was under investigation. The public had a right to know. Mr. Comey told me and other Congressional leaders that President Trump was not under investigation. He even told the President himself–repeatedly. But, Mr. Comey didn’t listen to my request for transparency. He didn’t listen to the President’s request. Only months later has the truth finally come out.”

And once again one of the best qualities our new President has come out in an interview with Fox News last week. Unlike Former Republican President George W. Bush, who always wanted to take the “High Road,” even at the cost of a devastating defeat for his party President Trump calls a duck a duck and defends himself if need be.

In an interview given by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on “Fox & Friends” on last Friday, the president called the investigation into allegations of Russia collusion and claims he obstructed justice “ridiculous.” He also called the friendship between Special Counsel Robert Mueller and former FBI Director James Comey “very bothersome.”
President Trump went on to offer a strong warning to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He made it very clear that he believes Mueller to be an honorable and fair man and that because of this he is confident he will come to an honorable conclusion. But he also went on to say that he is very aware that Comey and Mueller are very close friends and that he is also very aware of the fact that Mueller is bringing in Democrat operatives to the investigation team.
CNN Reports:

Special Counsel team members donated to Dems, FEC records show

Washington (CNN)Three members of the legal team known to have been hired so far by special counsel Robert Mueller to handle the Russia investigation have given political donations almost exclusively to Democrats, according to a CNN analysis of Federal Election Commission records.
More than half of the more than $56,000 came from just one lawyer and more than half of it was donated before the 2016 election, but two of the lawyers gave the maximum $2,700 donation to Hillary Clinton last year.

Over the weekend, news outlets including CNN identified five attorneys that Mueller has already brought on board to help investigate potential collusion between associates of President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia.

The group includes seasoned attorneys who worked on cases ranging from Watergate to the Enron fraud scandal and have represented major American companies in court. While only five attorneys have been publicly identified as working on the Russia probe, there could be more on Mueller’s team.

Three of the five lawyers have donations in FEC records. They gave overwhelmingly to Democrats, totaling more than $53,000 since 1988. More than half of the donations came from just one of the lawyers, James Quarles, whom Mueller brought over from his old firm, WilmerHale.

The mainstream media is a sick shell of what they once were. It seems like they have little to no regard for anyone not agreeing with them. Fox News is reporting that President Trump has cut the number of refugees coming into our country in HALF. Statistics show that when Obama was in office, we let 25,000 refugees right in our front door, no questions asked. Now, the vetting process IS working.

Up until this point, the countries where the most refugees have come from have been Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Two of these countries also happen to be a part of Trump’s (now infamous) travel ban. The travel ban was signed into law via an executive order shortly after Trump’s inauguration. The order put a temporary ban on refugee admissions from specific countries like Iraq and Syria. As you can imagine, the left went wild. There were protests in the streets, people were obstructing airports — how pathetic.
Liberals are claiming that by enacting this travel ban, Trump is causing problems for travelers around the world, and promoting “racist” behavior. If the left were SO worried about how people were going to travel, they wouldn’t be harassing the airlines, and causing people to miss their flights! Eventually, the travel ban was shot down by the 9th Circuit Court, but Trump persisted with his America-first initiative. He sent the legislation straight to the Supreme Court — maybe, finally, this issue will find resolution.

It looks like the number of refugees entering our country each month is set to drop drastically over the next several years. It’s crucial for us to keep refugee numbers under control. In March, Trump asked the Secretary of State to deliver a full report on the long-term operating costs of the United States Refugee Admissions Program at the federal, state, and local levels. The president, during his campaign, told us he was going to start focusing on AMERICA again. So far, we’re beyond pleased. We NEED this kind of motivation in our country. We needed this to get some of the patriots up out of their ruts after a devastating eight years under President Obama.
