Gateway Pundit Writer Assaulted In White House
Gateway Pundit Writer Assaulted In White House — Jon Decker, a Fox News Radio correspondent credentialed to attend White House press briefings is a tad miffed that the Trump Administration is letting new kids into the club.
Lucian Wintrich is one of the new kids. He writes for the website TheGatewayPundit.
Wintrich’s presence became just too much for Decker’s hidebound sense of aesthetics, yesterday, March 10. Wintrich says that when he entered the briefing room Decker loudly declared that he hated blacks, women, Hispanics, Jews and other minorities. Decker then blocked him from entering the men’s room, and backed him into a corner, Wintrich says. When he tried to inch past, Decker shoved him.
Wintrich says that after he used the men’s room he found Decker waiting outside. Decker grabbed his arm and again loudly declared that Wintrich was anti-black, anti-Jew and anti-woman, and that he wrote for a Nazi publication.
Nobody stepped in to stop it.
These are the assholes that have been our source of news.
Wintrich is apparently not a very big guy. He’s gay and Jewish as well, for that matter. So much for the Nazi charge.
TheGatewayPundit is not written by bigots, Nazis or any other kind of hater. Read it yourself. You can find it here.
Hopefully, the Trump Administration pulls Decker’s creds.

Desperate PSEA Responds To Sen. Wagner
Desperate PSEA Responds To Sen. Wagner
By Sen. Scott Wagner
I have repeatedly expressed that the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), is the number one public sector union that opposes any type of reform in Harrisburg, particularly pension reform and school tax elimination.
Apparently as a result of yesterday’s email blast, I have gotten the PSEA’s attention.
Last evening, with the click of a button on a computer keyboard, the PSEA sent an email blast to their 180,000 teacher members.
The email sent out by the PSEA is shown at the end of my email.
When you read the email sent out by the PSEA, it clear to see that the PSEA is trying to raise money for their left-wing, anti-children political agenda by attacking me and one of my colleagues, Senator John Eichelberger, by telling their members inaccurate information.
I need your help to fight the PSEA Union Bosses who are blocking critical reforms that need to take place in Harrisburg.
Every single day, I hear from people that their number one concern is about school taxes on real estate. Last evening, I held a tele-townhall meeting and 90 percent of the questions I received were questioning what we are doing in Harrisburg to solve this large problem.
Let me crystal clear…
The PSEA Union Bosses are against any effort to eliminate school taxes on real estate.
The PSEA Union Bosses are opposed to any pension reform.
The PSEA Union Bosses are against paycheck protection, which is the deduction of union dues from teacher paychecks.
The PSEA Union Bosses are against the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
Governor Wolf and the PSEA Union Bosses have a very strong relationship with each other.
The PSEA was the largest contributor to Governor Wolf’s campaign when he ran for Governor.
The PSEA has to be stopped and I will lead the fight against the PSEA, so that we are able to enact reforms in Harrisburg that benefit the taxpayers, not the PSEA union machine.
Here is what the PSEA sent regarding me:

PSEA Corrupts Pennsylvania, Teachers Would Quit It If Able
PSEA Corrupts Pennsylvania, Teachers Would Quit It If Able

I have reported over the last several years in my email updates the power public sector unions have in Harrisburg and that these unions are essentially running Pennsylvania because of their power and influence.
There are two distinct types of unions: private sector unions and public sector unions.
The first union group would be private sector unions, commonly known as the trade unions.
Trade unions represent electricians, plumbers, steelworkers, bricklayers, carpenters, equipment operators, steamfitters, and glass installers – mainly construction related workers.
The second union group would be classified as public sector employee unions.
Public sector unions represent school teachers and government workers.
The Pennsylvania State Education Association, commonly known as the PSEA, represents approximately 180,000 Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers throughout Pennsylvania.
Two other public sector unions that represent workers at the Department of Labor and Industry, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Protection are the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, commonly known as AFSCME, and the Service Employees International Union, commonly known as the SEIU union.
The PSEA represents approximately 180,000 K-12 school teachers in Pennsylvania. Each teacher pays approximately $800 per year in union dues to the PSEA.
Therefore on an annual basis, the PSEA collects approximately $144 million from 180,000 school teachers.
It is hard to know exactly how much of the $144 million is used for political purposes in Harrisburg and how much is used for bargaining and representation of the teachers.
I have seen first-hand the amount of money spent on political contributions to House and Senate members in Harrisburg and the amount spent on lobbying.
Penn Live reported in May of 2016 that $500 Million Dollars was spent on lobbying in 2015. Click here for the article: http://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2016/05/monday_morning_coffee_lobbyist.html
The PSEA is the most powerful union in Harrisburg and to collect approximately $144 Million Dollars per year in dues makes the PSEA a very large enterprise.
At PSEA headquarters in Harrisburg there are several hundred employees that are paid by the teacher dues collected.
The best way to describe the PSEA’s headquarter in Harrisburg would be to say that this is where the PSEA Union Bosses have their offices.
There are many great teachers throughout Pennsylvania who do an excellent job of teaching our children and would rather not be a member of the PSEA, but they do not have a choice, and if they had the choice a large majority of teachers would elect not to pay dues to the PSEA.
The PSEA is also a member of the National Education Association commonly known as the NEA, and the PSEA pays dues to the NEA.
The NEA is based in Washington D.C. and had a budget of more than $341 million for the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
The operation of the PSEA and the NEA are large enterprises; just think that there are 49 other states in America that have teachers unions also that collect dues from their members.
It would be safe to say that teachers in schools throughout America pay several billion dollars in dues combined to teachers unions.
Teachers unions have become big businesses and yield extreme power over their members and in the states they operate.
Some quick research reveals that the NEA actually is very clear that they represent teachers and do not represent the children because the children do not pay dues.
Click here for three articles:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/06/the-failure-of-american-schools/308497/
In the above articles, NEA officials actually make statements – “It’s Not About Kids, It’s About Power” and “When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.”
These are very powerful statements that make it crystal clear that union bosses at state levels and the national level are in the game for power and money, and not the children.
It is unfortunate because a large majority of the school teachers in Pennsylvania do care about their students and would drop out of the PSEA if they had a choice but they don’t have that choice because of the power of the PSEA.
The PSEA uses teacher dues collected to fight every effort that would result in solving the pension crisis and any initiative to eliminate school taxes on real estate in Pennsylvania.
In order for the teachers in Pennsylvania to stop being represented by the PSEA, it would require a decertification effort, initiated by a single teacher or group of teachers, but the PSEA will never let that happen, because the PSEA is all about power and money.

Obamacare Fix Should Be Simple
Obamacare Fix Should Be Simple — Debate rages about how to fix the Obamacare disaster.
Some Republicans understandably want to keep the program’s massive Medicaid expansion. Medicaid is the “government insurance program for those whose resources are insufficient to pay for health care“. Many now have health insurance who didn’t before. Taking it away is something that would likely come back to bite.
Of course, Medicaid is a disaster in itself so hold that thought.
Then there is the employer mandate. Employer-provided health insurance had a value of $17,545 for a family in 2015. It would be a serious blow to working people if it were to disappear. Of course, company health insurance plans were widespread before the mandate. Ironically, they may become less widespread as businesses increase the use of part-timers and independent contractors and automation to avoid the mandate so hold that thought.
And then there are the mandates to guarantee insurance for those with pre-existing conditions, and for adult sons and daughters, which President Trump has promised to keep.
The knot appears impossible to unravel and it is. That, though, makes the solution simple. Cut it off entirely and re-splice the loose ends.
Switzerland has an indisputably successful health care system. It has an individual mandate as per Obamacare but limits it to accidents, illness and pregnancy. If one wants things extra, one can pay find policies beyond the mandate and pay extra.
There are subsidies for those who can’t cover the minimum.
If the U.S. were to adopt such a system, Obamacare, Medicaid and Medicare could be abolished and the swamp-filling bureaucracies that run them could be drained. As the policies would be purchased by individuals, the government wouldn’t have the chance to play with the money.
Regarding business, don’t just end the employer mandate but treat health benefits as taxable income. Cold? Does your employer pay for your home, clothes and groceries? Once people get used to buying their own health insurance just as they do their home, clothes, groceries and other insurance, the cost will drastically drop as they shop. Employment will boom as will living standards.
Obviously, insurance should be allowed to be sold across state lines.

Alec Baldwin H8er
Alec Baldwin H8er — Clueless Hollywood hack Alec Baldwin says he is going to stop his Saturday Night Live impersonations of Donald Trump.
“Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship, he remains, bitter, and angry, and you just want to look at him and go, ‘You won!’” Baldwin said. . . . “The maliciousness of this White House has people worried. That’s why I’m not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don’t know how much more people can take it.”
It is impossible to mock people like Baldwin. His self-centered universe inures him to being shamed for hypocrisy or cruelty or anything else that causes guilt in the normal.
In 1998, Baldwin suggested Republican leaders be stoned to death and their wives and children killed.
Really. He suggested this. On national TV.
Here it is:
The best way to treat people like this ass is to turn him off. You will be happier if you did. You don’t need him in your life.
