Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling on her supporters to confront Trump administration officials and staffers in public due to the President’s zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration.

Pelosi posted her disapproval to a story about Waters’ comments.

If the shoe was on the other foot, she would cry of the color. Yes it is, the color of one's heart.

Fraud...

The U.S. Justice Department announced charges against 601 people including doctors for taking part in healthcare frauds. 

The arrests came as part of an annual fraud takedown overseen by the Justice Department. The crackdown resulted in authorities bringing dozens of unrelated cases involving alleged frauds that cost government health care programs and insurers more than $2 billion.
The cases included charges in Texas against a pharmacy chain owner and two other people accused of using fraudulent prescriptions to fill bulk orders for over 1 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills that were sold to drug couriers.

Fake...

Two recent news media fumbles illustrate nicely the present divide between mainstream journalism’s ambitions and its chronically blundering execution. 

There is a reason that Americans don't trust the media.  


The first came from Time Magazine, which published a cover story examining President Donald Trump’s controversial border separation policy. The photo-shopped cover of that issue  the obvious implication that the immigrant girl had been torn from her parents at the behest of Trump’s policy. Indeed, the story itself initially stated that the girl had been “carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

But she wasn’t. It didn’t happen.  The story itself, turned out to be FALSE. 

The girl’s father confirmed that she was never taken from her mother. Time eventually corrected the story.

Time Magazine inflamed the passion of many, angered many by providing the false story against the President. This is why some countries prosecute those who make it up, inflame the public and may create violence as a result.  

Shortage...

A new opioid crisis happening in the U.S.,: Hospitals are frequently running out of widely used injected painkillers.
Manufacturing shortages are forcing many doctors and pharmacists to sometimes ration injected opioids.  
Medical groups are urging regulators to help, saying some people having surgery, fighting cancer or suffering with severe burns are getting inadequate pain control. They also say shortages frequently cause medication switches that could lead to mistakes.
The American Medical Association declared drug shortages a public health crisis, saying it will urge federal agencies to examine the problem as a national security threat and perhaps designate medicine factories as critical infrastructure.
"It's definitely the most severe I've seen in tracking drug shortages for 17 years," says Erin Fox, a University of Utah Hospitals pharmacist.
