I have been saying for YEARS I can help fix healthcare But talk is cheap. So when I was in Korea I helped a local clinic move to commercial lines of care by adding spa, clinical massage and nutritional counseling. When I was in Ukraine I assisted and coordinated care and aid to displaced war-torn civilians, 30,000 through our portal - personal interaction and direct effort to 6000 of them over the year And since April, I have been working with an international company that coordinates care across languages, currencies and national borders. Live in 20 countries currently.
I have applied to the Transition Trump Team for HealthCare Reform (i.e. F*ck ObamaCare) ~ here's to hoping I get their attention.
What say you FB1? Your in Western Virginia that is pretty red but gets turned Blue due to all the folks in Eastern, VA.
Wolfie, when I look an an election results map, either by state or by county, that breaks down the vote by color, all I see when I see the color blue is cancer.

Looked at functionally, the urban welfare communities are parasitic on the productive whole.
However as the urban parasite culture consumes the productivity the culture is metastasizing into the rest of society. Then it all grinds to a halt.
^ Bingo. And interesting that he used the word "metastasizing." This ties in nicely with my thoughts on the matter.
Virginia now votes blue, thanks to NoVa, despite the overwhelming redness of the rest of the state. We have a blue governor (McAwful), and we just voted for Clinton. Makes me sick to my stomach. Will we ever go back to red? Mayyyyybe...but our cancer may have already metastasized too far.
I remember chronicling in the President 0bama thread, in the run-up to the 2012 election, some of the clandestine efforts taking place in Texas to finally turn that state blue. Cancer. And, sadly, the spread is intentional. Our politicians, especially the D's, have not only allowed it, they've aided and abetted it, in return for votes.
It's WAY past time to drain the swamp, and I believe Trump will do just that.
But cancer is cancer, and it's coming soon to a town near you, rural or not.
With Trump I think we'll slow it down, but I'm not hopeful, thinking long term (decades), for an absolute cure.
Time to split noVA off as a separate STate of Gummint Employees. How can we expect them to vote to Drain the Swamp when they are the Swamp Things living in that Swamp?
Hey Buena Vista and Rockbridge County are Solidly Red, so my conscience is clear.

I've been a Megyn Kelly fan for a long long time. She got a bug for Trump for sure, but she is as objective as I've seen in her hard nosed confrontation of those in power.
Watch to the end...
Geez Blake, that's 7-1/2 minutes I'll never get back.
Thoughts, shotgun style:
1) Turn off your television; there are better places to get your news.
2) Who's the hostess in this segment? With all due respect, she reminds me of a bobblehead doll, not only in her mannerisms, but in her (in)ability to put thought into word.
3) Megyn Kelly met, off the record, with Donald Trump one-on-one during the campaign. She, in the beginning of the campaign, for whatever reason/s, was his enemy. After their meeting she lightened up quite a bit. I still don't trust her, or FOX for that matter.
I give her all the props in the world for being able to put thought into word, particularly on the fly; she's very good at this.
4) We had good neighbors stop by for a brief visit over the weekend, fellow conservative Christians who think of themselves as well-informed politically. It's the first time we've visited with them since election night.
Virtually the first words out of their mouths:
quote:
Trump won! You [me and Denise] must be absolutely shocked!!"
Quite the contrary, we said. We've predicted this since June of 2015, shortly after Trump announced. We did our homework and honestly, we're not surprised in the least - the country is quite ready for someone like Trump, someone who will (and has the horsepower to) drain the swamp, and we predicted this outcome from the beginning of his candidacy.
Our neighbors looked at us with incredulous eyes, and then asked:
quote:
But how could the pollsters have gotten it so wrong?!?
Heavy sigh.
Dear neighbors, the pollsters DIDN'T "get it wrong" - they were paid, quite handsomely, to provide deliberately flawed results, and then the MSM was paid, quite handsomely, to promote these results.
Our neighbors, at this point, were in the beginning stages of sensory overload, and although I did my best to teach them (not for the first time) that when it comes to news the television - even FOX - is their enemy, I'm not sure they yet see the light.
How all this pertains to your question, and the video segment with Megyn Kelly that you embedded:
The first tripwire alert comes at about 2:18, from the hostess:
quote:
How do the pollsters get it so wrong?"
Brilliant! Continue to push the meme that the pollsters got it wrong, while simultaneously absolving the corrupt MSM of any responsibility of promoting the deliberately-skewed poll results. Bravo!
I've posted up plenty of stuff in the past week predicting, and exposing, this tactic.
At apx 3:48 we hear the meme again, this time from Megyn Kelly.
At apx. 5:17: "Stunned!"
Now I know why our neighbors were so stunned at the election results: They were programmed to be so by the mainstream media (which, sadly, is their only news source).
The MSM has been, and continues to be, the enemy. They will certainly change their tone with Trump, however, now that he's President-Elect Trump, to retain any chance at access to him and his administration.
In that vein, I was very pleased to see this on Trump's new "transition" website GreatAgain.gov:
quote:
All media wishing to participate in press briefings and Transition organized events must complete the proper press credentialing process. For the quickest processing, media organizations must contact credentials@ptt.gov detailing the name, title and e-mail address for all staff requesting credentials. Please include the name of the media organization in the subject line. All media must apply for new press credentials. [emphasis in original - FB]
Sharyl Attkisson Discusses Media Coverage of 2016 Presidential Election By Sundance, November 13, 2016
The media’s bias, elitism, group-think, pearl-clutching and smug condescension has never been more brutally evident as it has been within this election cycle. There is ZERO credibility remaining within the historic institutions of American media.
Journalism is beyond recovery, it is dead. However, one of those brave few, who took the off ramp and avoided the journey to irrelevance a few years ago, is former CBS award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson. Here’s her take:
It's sad how close they are to stealing elections like this past one. Fortunately, they probably have a hard time doing this in states that aren't already solidly blue, like CA, IL & NY. There really needs to be reform on the election process!
How can they verify if someone is or isn't illegal? For the vote, all they have is a name and an address. How do they get from there to citizenship status? Do they use credit header data or something similar to get to an SSN, and then from there get to citizenship?
I don't understand how a non government entity can practically do that.
Although some states require some form of ID before voting, California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. all require no identification before voting.
I've finally reached the had enough of this crap stage in the total acceptance of the Propaganda machine for riots and violence against Americans.
I'm still going to follow my normal rules about not going to riots for my amusement.
I learned back in 1968 that was a fine way to get hurt. I think it was Jerry Pournelle who coined the rule, "Don't throw shit at an armed man" aka the "Lesson of 1968" after the quaint practice of throwing plastic bags with dog poo at the Riot police at the Democrat National Convention. ( They react badly to that ) and of course remember the Corollary to the "Don't Throw Shit at an Armed Man" which is "Don't stand next to an idiot throwing shit at an armed man".
Wow. Dog poo in a bag. How innocent those times seem after 50 years of communist agitprop.
Pretty obviously the police watching the arson and looting are under strict instructions to let the Soros paid rioters party.
It's both idle speculation and self obvious fact that if Hillary had won and these idiots were burning Hillary and Obama in effigy that arrests would be many and probably volley fire with machine guns on the crowds.
Although some states require some form of ID before voting, California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. all require no identification before voting.
Do they follow up when one person voted twice? That would put some cap on fraud, or at least flag it as detectable, when a person goes to the polls and finds out they already voted (when somebody else voted in their place). And I think they logged the ballot in Ohio, and also tied it to my address, so they know which ballot I voted (or my imposter voted). That would let them "undo" the first vote if the second one proved identity.
But it wouldn't stop me from finding people who I know can't or won't vote, and then voting in their place, which could be done reasonalby safely within the limits relevant to those the recent elections were decided by.
In Baltimore County, Maryland we used to have electronic voting machines. This election cycle they went to paper ballots that you deposit into ONE electronic voting machine that DOES NOT give you any confirmation of your vote. The machine simply notifies you that you vote has been recorded. How in the hell am I supposed to know if the machine recorded my actual vote or changed my vote or simply did not count my vote?
The reason you don't get a paper confirmation is the law. If you got a receipt of who you voted for you could turn it into the nice fellow who drove the bus through the 'hood and picked up all the drunks to vote to prove you voted as requested and get your pint of rotgut.
Simple as that. You don't get a receipt for that reason.
As to the machine giving you the heads up as to your votes, some models do display that, most do not.
The good news is the PAPER ballot can be recounted. IF it was all electronic, or manual mechanical like used locally for decades, there is nothing to recount except a counter on the side of the machine. "said 1234 to 2345 last time, still does" is all you get for confirmation.
The bad news for paper ballots is the "sealed" boxes sitting in Democrat Party folk's car trunks waiting to be tossed in after hours to change the real vote.
It's true, major changes in the U.S. are directly traceable to vote fraud. Al Franken is illegitimate because of criminals voting, and his vote passed Obamacare. What the absence of other candidates like West who were cheated out of office have done is harder to quantify.
You just have to hope that others keep an eye on such things, or keep an eye yourself.
Imagine if the vote fraud had worked this year instead of Donald getting a landslide.
Would you be out burning businesses? Beating Hillary voters?
There in lies the difference between the basic philosophy of the Left/Right in America.
They lie by design, by habit, by necessity. Vote fraud is just another acceptable lie. So is Murder and false imprisonment.
Reepicheep, I'll offer what insight I can on the voter fraud issue. I've spent most of my life just outside of Chicago. They know how to game the system. When you show up to vote, you tell them your name and they look it up on a paper registry. They tear off your voters receipt, and hand you a ballot. You cast your ballot, and do what you want with your receipt. At least it makes it difficult to vote a second time, at least as yourself.
Here's were it all goes bad. When someone dies, they never purge you from the registry. I just moved to another state. I know my new state notified IL that I have moved. I also know IL will not purge me from the registry. It's not hard to figure out a bunch of people who have died this year. The ones from previous years are also still dead. You keep a running list from year to year. Same thing with people who have moved. BTW, you can purchase names from the NCOA database (National Change of Address). I used to maintain that database for a direct mail company. Of course, they may have access to the fact that I've moved directly from the state of MI in my case. Unless I move back into my same polling precinct (quite unlikely), I'm as good as a dead person. So it's pretty straight forward to keep a list of names that will not get used to vote legally. So what do you do with that information? You load up a bus, drive them to a polling station, and hand them a piece of paper that tells them who they are supposed to be. It WILL NOT be challenged. Then you take that bus of voters to the next polling station, and so on, and so on.
I would really like to find out if I voted back in IL in this election. I have no idea how to find that out though.
As for how to determine that votes were cast by illegals, I really don't know. It all depends on the data that you can gather. I worked for many years matching lists of names and addresses, determining which are matches and which are not matches. It was a pretty intensive matter when I was doing that about 30 years ago. I'm guessing that it's gotten better since then, but I worked for the two top companies doing it back then. The best back then was better than 98% if you had valid names and addresses. It's probably better now. It gets tricky in large cities where you may have multiple Frank Smiths living in the same apartment complex. We actually had a database of such situations though. I hate to think about the data that's available on people today.
Makes sense. The "no easy way to see if you voted after you moved or died" is the tell that shows you they want their system corrupt.
In ohio, it is tracked on computer and you get a little reciept from a credit card looking machine. Not sure how to go see if I voted later or not though.
How can they verify if someone is or isn't illegal?
Reep: The answer, perhaps, is found in the following piece just posted-up on The Conservative Treehouse...

Trump Immigration Architect – The Wall Will Be Built and There Will Be No Free Passes By Sundance, Nov. 15, 2016
...President Obama’s executive actions - as carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - have created convenient lists of many illegal aliens.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), otherwise known as President Obama’s "Dreamers," and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which targets the parents of the dreamers, has conveniently assembled a registration of names and addresses of unlawful aliens.
