Headache Medication

By Tammy Derouin

Trying to figure out the logic behind the action of those who are more politically Left-leaning, will bring about migraines. Once you figure out that their actions are all about their desire, their need to control you and every aspect of your life, you begin to see why they do what they do.

Those who wish to control you want to make you dependent on them. They begin to slowly limit your freedom by encroaching on your ability to make decisions. They present themselves as a protector, someone who really cares and wants to do what's best for you. Usually, accepting help comes with certain terms. Of course, they know what's best for you so they will begin to make decisions for you. You are locked in to doing things their way.

Sometimes controllers get arrogant. They will tell you that you can't do something without their help or you aren't responsible for the success you've already had in your life. These types of phrases should grab your attention. Yes, you did hear correctly and yes it is a tactic to slowly break you down and make you question your own reality.

A controller thrives on being needed, so they are always looking for new opportunities to extend their reach.......

ObamaCare Is Fueling The Nation's Opioid Epidemic? Sure Looks Like It | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

ObamaCare Is Fueling The Nation's Opioid Epidemic? Sure Looks Like It | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"War On Drugs: We recently speculated that ObamaCare might have contributed to the nation's opioid epidemic, which has in turn driven down life expectancy in this country for the past two years. 
A new Senate report adds further support to this connection.
The report, produced by the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee's majority staff, provides convincing evidence that ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion is at least partly to blame for the recent opioid epidemic.
The Senate report notes that those with a Medicaid card can get prescriptions for opioids, such as oxycodone, for as little as $1 for up to 240 pills. 
Those pills, however, can be sold on the street for up to $4,000.
That has created a powerful incentive for millions to get prescriptions and end up either getting addicted themselves or selling the pills on the black market. 
By vastly expanding Medicaid, ObamaCare contributed significantly to this problem, the Senate report found..."

The Trump Economy, One Year In: A Success By All Measures | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

The Trump Economy, One Year In: A Success By All Measures | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Economy: No question about it — one year into President Trump's first term, the economy is on a roll, creating wealth, income and jobs for Americans, and building opportunities for the young.
It's a triumph of economic realism over foolish skepticism.
Critics so disliked Trump as he entered office last year that they were all but rooting for him to fail. 
A few headlines tell the tale:

• "President Trump is about to tank the economy" (TheWeek.com). 
• "Millennials think the Trump economy is going to implode" (Chicago Tribune). 
• "Investors ignoring the risks in Trump's presidency" (MarketWatch). 
• "Why the Trump Economic Boom Will Never Come" (Foreign Policy). 
• "Trump is being handed a great economy. What happens when it goes south?" (Washington Post).

OK. You get the picture.
We did a simple, random Google search for "Does President Trump deserve credit for the economy?" As a sign of how skeptical the Trump-hating media are, it returned 826,000 results.
But it's fair to ask: What has Trump accomplished when it comes to the economy? 
The numbers don't lie..."

Supremes join Trump to dismantle Obama power grab

Supremes join Trump to dismantle Obama power grab:

"“The Supreme Court’s rejection of the EPA’s power play strengthens everyone’s right to challenge bureaucratic abuses, all across the governmental landscape,” he said.

Under the “waters” rule, the federal government claimed the right to regulate control “nearly every pond, ditch and puddle in the nation.”"

Sounds reasonable. Why not?-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

"...According to Pew research there are approximately 800,000 enrolled in the program. 
71% of those enrolled are 21 and above - adults.
They were brought here as children by parents illegally entering the USA and have remained here ever since...

• I think DACA participants should get 6 months to apply - openly and officially for a work permit in the USA. 
• The permit would give them the right of residence (and travel). 
• They would need to have a High School diploma or GED equivalent (that being a requirement for DACA in the first place) and would need to pass a background check for criminal convictions.
• The basic idea is that they need to present themselves as people who are worthy of being admitted to the USA Officially.
• Assuming that they get accepted - and I suspect most of them should - they would then get a 2 year work permit. 
• The work permit would not attach to any spouse or family member. It is for the one person alone.
• They should sign an affidavit that they understand if they are convicted of a felony their permit is cancelled and they are subject to immediate deportation.
• After 2 years they can apply for an extension - assuming they have not been convicted and that they have filed tax returns.
• After a further two years they would be eligible to apply for a permanent residence visa. or just another extension if they wish.
• It is about time these adults (they are not 'children' ) stood up as adults and took responsibility for what THEY have done and show the US People that they are worthy of respect and can help this country."

OOPS: Google Reverses Itself, Removes 'Fact-Checking' Links Targeting Conservative Sites Including Daily Wire | Daily Wire:

"Google may claim that the error was entirely unrelated to politics. But just as with other social media giants, such errors only run one way — when’s the last time a major social media platform, from Twitter to Facebook to Google to YouTube, accidentally targeted left-wing sites?

The answer: never."

Tomi Lahren Blasts the 'Anti-Women's March': The 'Mean Girls' Need to Take a Look in the Mirror | Fox News Insider:
"This past weekend thousands of women - and men - took to the streets to show the world how nasty they can be. 
They called it the “women’s march” but I refuse to call it by that name.
Truth is, by calling that vulgar display of hate and bitterness a “women’s march” we are actually demeaning and degrading what it means to be female. 
Think I’m kidding? 
Think I’m exaggerating? 
Think I’m anti-woman, anti-feminist, anti-female empowerment?
Well, behold, the logical fallacy that is modern day feminism. 
Nothing says, “take me seriously” like marching around in pink hats screaming profanities and demanding free things..."

Nets Censor Revelation FBI Lost 400 Texts from Two Shady Anti-Trump Officials

Nets Censor Revelation FBI Lost 400 Texts from Two Shady Anti-Trump Officials
"There were disturbing revelations out of the FBIover the weekend when it was made public that the Bureau had somehow lost roughly 400 text messages between an anti-Trump investigator and a lawyer he was romantically involved with. 
Since then, there have been calls from Republican members of Congress for another special counsel to investigate the FBI’s shady handling of the Clinton e-mail and Russia investigations. But despite this bombshell news, the three major network news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have been dead silent.

During their Monday evening newscasts, there was not a single second dedicated to bringing up this highly damaging development. 
Instead of reporting on the FBI, ABC’s World News Tonight gushed about the Super Bowl, CBS Evening News reported that Minnie Mouse got her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and NBC Nightly News fawned over yet another royal wedding in the U.K.

Where the networks wanted to censor the revelations, Fox News Channel’s Special Report covered them in detail..."

Why Can't People Hear What Jordan Peterson Is Actually Saying? - The Atlantic

Why Can't People Hear What Jordan Peterson Is Actually Saying? - The Atlantic: 
"My first introduction to Jordan B. Peterson, a University of Toronto clinical psychologist, came by way of an interview that began trending on social media last week. 
Peterson was pressed by the British journalist Cathy Newman to explain several of his controversial views. 
But what struck me, far more than any position he took, was the method his interviewer employed. 
It was the most prominent, striking example I’ve seen yet of an unfortunate trend in modern communication.
First, a person says something. 
Then, another person restates what they purportedly said so as to make it seem as if their view is as offensive, hostile, or absurd...

* * *

Peterson begins the interview by explaining why he tells young men to grow up and take responsibility for getting their lives together and becoming good partners. 

He notes he isn’t talking exclusively to men, and that he has lots of female fans..."
