In the "old" America this wouldn't even be a concept. With this guy...who knows?------Was President Barack Obama’s fainting lady a fake?

"A conspiracy theorist has released a convincing video which questions President Barack Obama’s motives during an ObamaCare press conference earlier this week.

During the presser at The White House on Monday, a pregnant woman, Karmel Allison, was caught by the President moments before she fainted on stage.

“I got you. You’re OK,” Mr Obama told her. “This is what happens when I talk too long.”

But in a persuasive twist, a YouTube user who goes by the username Lady Patriots has released close-up footage of the incident, suggesting it was all a con to lift Obama’s approval ratings."

OMG! They've lost CBS "This Morning"!------CBS: Insurers Canceling Coverage for Hundreds of Thousands of Americans Because of Obamacare

CBS: Insurers Canceling Coverage for Hundreds of Thousands of Americans Because of Obamacare | Washington Free Beacon:
"Insurers are canceling coverage for hundreds of thousands of Americans because of Obamacare, forcing them to buy new policies despite President Obama’s promises to the contrary, CBS This Morning reported Friday.
However, O’Donnell reported, it’s not happening the way Obama “explained it.” One California citizen, Natalie Willis, said her insurance had gotten worse and more expensive.
“Before, I had a plan where I had a $1,500 deductible,” she said.
”I paid $199 a month.
The most similar plan that I would have available to me would be $278 per month,
my deductible would be $6,500 and all of my care after that point would only be covered 70 percent.”"

Judge orders Inkster to cut water rates, refund overcharges | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Inkster residents and businesses will be receiving refunds for overcharges on their water bills after a judge ruled that the rates were too high and ordered the city to reduce them.
Byron Nolen, the attorney for plaintiff Terrance Trahey, said retired Wayne County Circuit Judge Paul Teranes, who presided over the bench trial last week, ordered a reduction in water rates from $15.30 per unit to $11.96.
The lawsuit was led by Trahey, who received a $6,000 water bill last fall.
He argued that new digital water meters were not working properly and the city’s sharply higher water rates were in violation of the state constitution and city charter.
Trahey’s $6,000 water bill was eliminated by the judge, Nolen said.
“He said every citizen will get a credit on their account,” Nolen said. “I was a little surprised.”
City officials didn’t return calls seeking comment Thursday."

Detroit police: Man carjacks woman, sinks SUV, shoots witness | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
Detroit police are looking for a man who carjacked a woman this morning on the city’s east side and shot a man while trying to get away.
..But, he said, three people witnessed the carjacking and began following the suspect, who jumped out of the moving Traverse, which rolled down an embankment and into the water at the Edison Boat Club near Lycaste and Freud.
After bailing from the Traverse, the suspect got into a gunfight with one of the witnesses, who is a concealed pistol license holder, Woody said.
He said shots were fired, the witness was struck in the arm, and then the carjacker stole the witness’ 2009 blue Ford Focus.

"The collapse of American society is accelerating. 
For the moment, much of our social decay is being masked by the tremendous level of affluence that we are experiencing. 
It has been reported that 4 out of every 5 adults in the United States “struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives”, but in general Americans still enjoy a debt-fueled standard of living that is far beyond what most of the rest of the world enjoys. 
When that debt-fueled standard off living permanently disappears, it is going to unleash chaos unlike anything that America has ever seen before. "

Remember how the left drooled over "Canadian style Healthcare"? And now sorta don't remember nuttin'....----Anglo family with cancer-sick dad told to speak French in Hull hospital

Anglo family with cancer-sick dad told to speak French in Hull hospital:

This is reportedly what happened. John Gervais, a 77-year-old navy veteran, was admitted to hospital after his health suddenly declined. Tests pointed to lung or bone cancer, the Citizen said.

Gervais was being kept in the hospital's emergency room and growing steadily weaker, said his son-in-law, Steve Long of Ottawa.

The trouble started when an orderly in his twenties was asked to help Gervais use a portable commode, the Citizen said.

Gervais' wife, Iris Beeler-Gervais, told QMI Agency the man had been rough with her husband and rude to the family previously. 
But he got particularly hostile after some liquid from a bedside tray spilled on his shoes as he was helping the patient out of bed.

“[The orderly] said: ‘This isn’t a hotel. I don’t speak English; this is Quebec,’ ” according to Beeler-Gervais.

Responding to a call from his upset wife, Long went to the hospital and confronted the orderly.

“Speak to me in French! This is Quebec!” Long recounted him saying.

Long told the Citizen the man asserted his right to be addressed in French in a loud voice.

“He didn’t whisper it," said Long, adding it was apparent the worker could speak French and English. "Everybody in that emergency room heard him.”

Long said the family was already feeling vulnerable because of Gervais' rapid deterioration. 
Ironically, Gervais is bilingual but was too weak to speak.

“It’s a situation where you need someone to treat you with compassion," Long told the Citizen. "Instead he stormed off complaining about pee on his shoe [It turned out to be water].

"That’s why the deal to settle a disastrous Detroit credit swap from 2005 was necessary — a $350-million loan from Barclays would have paid off the swaps, given the city access to capital for operational improvements (new computer systems, for example), all at a much lower interest rate, 3.5% compared with the 6.3% Detroit is now paying.
Settling the swaps would also free up $11 million a month in casino revenues that are tied up paying the debt.
The Detroit City Council voted down the deal and says it’s considering an alternate proposal from an unnamed bank."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Satellite imagery shows North Korea has made new tunnel entrances at its nuclear test site in a sign it is preparing to conduct more underground explosions there in the future, a U.S. research institute said Wednesday.

That's the latest indication that Pyongyang is pressing on with its nuclear weapons program, although the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies says there's no sign another test explosion is coming soon.

In February, North Korea conducted its third and most powerful nuclear test since 2006, drawing international condemnation - including from its benefactor China - and tighter U.N. sanctions.

The mix up was first discovered by people searching for sex offenders in their neighborhoods, only to find their own names. Administrators are uncertain how such an error occurred, but they note that both websites were built by the same contractor, CGI Federal."
