 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., challenged fellow candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., "Medicare-for-all" plan, claiming it would set the country back ten years.
 I think Bernie’s proposal would leave us fighting a losing battle for 'Medicare-for-all' for the next ten years.

Instead of dealing with the fact that our economy doesn’t work for everybody,   climate change,  and other issues that we need to confront."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she was moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

 "Therefore, today I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry."

Hunter Biden was named a paid board member of Burisma Holdings in April 2014. The company’s founder was a political ally of Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s Russia-friendly president, who was driven out in February 2014 by mass protests.
Yanukovych’s ouster prompted the Obama administration to move quickly to deepen ties with Ukraine’s new government. Joe Biden played a leading role, traveling to Ukraine and speaking frequently with its new Western-friendly president.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham conducted an experiment to determine the link between potassium and healthy arteries. 

They examined mice and gave them high-fat diets, where the critters were given either small, average and large amounts of potassium. 

Mice consumed the least amount of potassium had harder arteries, while mice that had a large amount of potassium had more flexible arteries.

As people get older, the heart arteries stiffen, which can cause heart attacks and strokes. 

However, there are nutrients that can loosen them, such as potassium in Banana or Avocado..
The  study finds the benefit of adequate potassium supplementation on prevention of vascular calcification in atherosclerosis-prone mice, and the adverse effect of low potassium intake."

Carl Icahn, the billionaire investor who has built a business empire in New York City over the past three decades, is moving his office -- including at least half of his staff and himself to Florida early next year, reportedly to dodge high taxes.
The 83-year-old investor, worth a staggering $17.7 billiontold employees at his publicly traded company Icahn Enterprises that he will close the Manhattan office at the end of March 2020 and open a new office near Miami one month later.
Icahn joins a slew of other powerful financial companies in fleeing New York for lower-tax destinations like Florida, Tennessee and Texas in the wake of President Trump’s 2017 tax overhaul, which placed a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions.

Author Peter Schweizer addressed Hunter Biden’s involvement with a Ukrainian natural gas company while his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, oversaw America’s Ukraine policy.
"The underlying story here involves Hunter Biden going around the world really collecting large payments from foreign governments and foreign oligarchs in the case of Ukraine," Schweizer, the author of "Secret Empires," said on Fox News' 
Joe Biden faced scrutiny for months over accusations that he pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, who at that time was leading a corruption investigation into a natural gas company that had ties to Biden's son.

"He is supposed to be advising them on natural gas regulatory issues. He has no background in Ukraine, no background in energy or natural gas. So, What is he being paid for? He's not being paid for his expertise, he has none," Schweizer said. "His father at this time is the point person on U.S. policy to Ukraine."

Hell no...

A Colorado woman confronted Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on his controversial proposal to go after high-powered weapons through a mandatory buyback program.
"I am here to say: Hell, no, you’re not," Lauren Boebert told O'Rourke during a town hall event in Aurora, Colo., passionately defending her rights under the Second Amendment.
"I have four children, I am 5-foot-0, 100 pounds, I cannot really defend myself with a fist. ... I want to know how you're going to legislate that because a criminal breaks the law, so all you're going to do is restrict law-abiding citizens, like myself."

According to the Denver Post, 32-year-old Boebert drove three hours from the town of Rifle to the event and is the owner of a restaurant where the staff carries firearms. As she spoke, a handgun was holstered at her side.

In New York, the criminals are running free shooting everywhere. Just a thought.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said his plan to provide "Medicare for All" would raise taxes across the board. "Look, people are used to Washington politicians not giving straight answers to simple questions."

Elizabeth Warren said healthcare Cost  will go up for wealthiest Americans and for big corporations, when asked how she would recommend financing the Medicare for all. 

She noted that taxes for the wealthy would go up. "Hardworking middle class families will see their costs go down.

But the downside of this equation is the trickle down taxation on the most vulnerable, less jobs would be available for the Middle Class.

Just a thought.

The governor pitched the requirement when his administration launched an online poll that let residents vote on the state’s next plate design, but has since backtracked on the idea. Cuomo said some older plates are undetectable by automatic tolling technology, which could cost the state bundles of
