In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

These poor people must be a wreck of jangled nerves by now. It’s one thing to have one bad EQ and a few aftershocks. You can get your peace and grounding back pretty quickly.
But this is getting ridiculous now. Bad EQs and collapsing buildings for going on a month now.
Ad still wintry weather. Not safe inside a building, cold outside a building.
They really need to feel the Peace that Passes Understanding thru and thru.

Link to AI production by Posobiec of Biden announcing the draft. It sure pushes the direction of the Ukraine “situation” in your face. But you can tell it’s fake when Biden successfully puts 2 sentences together.
What is the age cut off limit currently for the draft?
Just found this online — imagine being 64 and being drafted.
“There is no upper limit. Throughout US history there have been various ceilings of those required to register and those who were actually drafted. The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 required men ages 18 to 64 to register. Yet eight years later the age range was 19 to 26.
In 1967 the age range was expanded to include 18-35 year olds. Under current law males aged 18 through 25 are required to be registered within 30 days of arrival or 30 days of their 18th birthday, whichever comes first.
What’s also interesting is the US congress ordered via legislation the Selective Service to develop a special skills system in 1987. Since then the Selective Service keeps a secret log of men and women aged 20 to 54 who they consider to have special skills that are assets during war time. These include occupations like surgeons, nurses, explosive experts, etc. This list is kept secret as a matter of national security, you or I may be on this list but we wouldn’t know it until we were drafted.”
Is this where trans gender non-binary comes in handy? or identifying as a foreigner?
Hmmm.
Almost every state now has searchable databases by county for real property transactions. Some, but not all, allow you to research by name of purchaser.
Could be some interesting nuggets out there.
Search by name of person of interest, name of spouse, name of kids. Small variations, middle initial or not, typos . . .
You would have to think that in a smaller state like, perhaps, Maine, this would be very doable.

Is our media doing any coverage on the Tank of Roses in Berlin?
It definitely needs more coverage.
It is an ongoing story. And a lesson on one way to peacefully protest.
A bombed Russian tank was placed in front of the Russian embassy by Ukraine supporters.
German people went to the tank and carried roses. The tank was literally covered in roses. Touching cards in remembrance of those who died in the tank and signs of Make Peace Not War. I saw one video of someone taking the Ukraine flag off the top of it. It was a somber event showing children also placing roses on the tank.
The Ukraine minister had an absolute epic Meltdown!
He put out tweet for people (bullies) to go and remove the flowers the next day.
It could have resulted in free for all but it didn’t get out of hand.
The German people picked up what roses could be salvaged -and brought more roses.
Kudos to those who are peacefully protesting. It is heartwarming and moving seeing the children quietly placing roses on the tank.
P.S. I saw a picture of the NAFO dog mascot on top of it which is an Adam Kinzinger crony propaganda troll group. Makes me wonder if he was involved….
Seems like two world wars killed off all the alpha males and left a bunch of sitzenspritzers. May their chains rest heavily on them.

They have no sense of humor.
Haven’t seen any discussion of this elsewhere, so here goes:
Medicare Advantage plans under Humana , United and perhaps others are REQUIRING agent visits to policyholders private homes.
I have recently had conversations with two relatives who have been contacted to make an appointment for a representative to come for an in-home visit. They have both delayed making these appointments. They were told by phone they HAD to make an appointment, as it is required by their policy.
This does not seem to be a home health-care visit for frail or home-bound patients. Both relatives are active, driving, housekeeping, golfing retired persons.
So what is the purpose of these visits? To collect information regarding safe living conditions? Do the policyholders have good housekeeping skills? Do they store food for hard times? Do they own guns? Do they have a picture of Donald Trump on their bookcase? Or a picture of Jesus on their wall?
I have tried several internet searches to verify this requirement, and have come up with nothing. If anyone here has been contacted by their Advantage plan company for a home visit, I’d be very interested to know if they complied with or declined the request.
D. All of the above.
We were contacted repeatedly by Aetna last year. They were incessant in phoning us to set up a home visit. I watched their video which shows what they do on a home visit. In addition to taking one’s vital signs and reviewing one’s medications, they “inspect” various parts of one’s home. They go through the medicine cabinet, pantry, all while looking for “dangers” in the home such as “slippery” surfaces. They arrive at a “score” at the end of the visit and their information is forwarded to Medicare. We have not allowed them into our home.
Look over your plan carefully, which you should always have a copy of. I have a United advantage plan that came free with my retirement pension. Participation in any visit to home in my plan is fully optional, or may be made virtually via the phone or tablet if desired. They can’t require it. That may be true of your plan as well. It’s the information they are allowed to require, not a specific way of gathering it. Each year I go to the doctor, review medications and fill out a form answering all the same questions that would be asked in a home visit. That fulfills my plan’s requirements.
There’s nothing wrong with assessing risks in principle. Many patients are insufficiently aware of them in their own homes, and can benefit from learning more about them. Preventable accidents at home are one of the greatest risks ESPECIALLY for otherwise healthy, active seniors. They do completely stupid stuff like work on ladders or roofs over age 70, when any kind of fall WILL cause fractures or worse. They keep using power tools after their vision is too poor. I’ve helped extract nails from nail guns driven through hands and feet, because there was insufficient lighting, and helped sew on hundreds of severed fingertips. These patients generally feel good, but may not use proper techniques for heavy lifting, shoveling or swinging an ax. It only takes ONE improper lift to herniate a lumbar disk after 65, and you’ll have that forever after without expensive surgery.
Anyway, you get what I mean. Preserving your health isn’t only based on how good you feel, or how active you are. Everyone’s bones eventually become more brittle, water and cartilage is lost from joints and osteoarthritis increases. Various kinds of sensory deficits develop, so you start to miss visual and auditory cues that kept you safer when younger. You probably know seniors who resist having to give up driving, but there is always a time (if you live long enough) when that decision should be accepted, because it can save your life and the lives of others.
Very informative and helpful, thank you InvisibleMikey.
While taking all of this in consideration, participation in regular government Medicare Parts A & B is not contingent on an annual physical exam, an annual wellness visit, or an in-home visit.
Medicare Advantage plans must adhere to all government CMS rules and guidelines. In my humble opinion this precludes any Mandated in-home visits for Part A (Hospital) or Part B (Medical) coverage. For the extra coverage offered for prescriptions, dental, vision or other care , I would think they are free to make any requirement they like as a private company. But if they threaten to cancel Hospital or Medical coverage for failure to comply, I would definitely fight it in court or through CMS.
I agree, and pardon me if I did not clarify I was only referring to advantage plans, not the automatic part A & B.
Hmmmmm/. I got a call from a man who said he was with Medicare. MEDICARE. A man with an Asian dialect. (Sounded that way to me). It was marked ‘spam’ by ATT, but nearly every call from a number not in my contacts is marked that way. Went like this.
M- Is rhis, (my name)?
ME- YES.
M- Is your address, (quoted my full address).
ME- yes.
M- Do you have your Medicare card?
ME- N0.
M- I will hold while you get it.
ME- No.
M- I will hold while you get your card, I need the number off your card.
ME- No.
M- I need you to get your card while I hold. (voice becoming a bit edgy).
ME- No. I do not have my card.
M- I need you to go get your card. I need the number from your card.
ME- I do not give anyone my personal information over the phone.
I could hear the frustration and restraint in his voice. But could tell he was getting pissed. Again he basically said he was from Medicare and first needed to confirm my information, and said he would hold. I said no. I do not use my Medicare, and have no ideas where my card is and that if they needed information from me to send a letter. By now, he is getting really annoyed with me, and basically orders me to go get my card in an angry voice.
I told him NO!, my phone showed he was a spam call, and I was giving him no information. He got loud and started saying something and I hung up.
Frankly, a senior not given to be suspicious since he had name and address would probably have complied and given too much info before getting wise. His anger and annoyance tipped me into assurance it was a scam artist. I bet they were scam calls. Please tell them not to let anyone near their home.
Medicare (the government insurance program) never makes phone calls, period. Salespeople trying to sell insurance plans do. They’ve tried this with me as well. I just hang up, or don’t pick up in the first place.
We get these calls five to 20 times a day. Taller Half now answers his cell phone…” Hello…Medicare…No, I’M Medicare!”
We have a repertoire of hilarious replies.
“Front desk, how can I help you?”
“Sheriff’s office, how can we help you?”
etc etc
Good for you. Methinks it was truly a spammer. One thing you can rely on the gubmint for is that they WILL NOT CALL you. That fact that this caller got angry with you is also a red flag. Spammers get very annoyed when you refuse to “obey” them.
They tried it on my MIL once. They told her my husband was in trouble and that there is a warrant out for his arrest. She hung up right away and called him.
Not sure how this fits into your question – I have been told Medicare requires a once a year ‘wellness’ checkup. We have been contacted by Blue Cross of Idaho to set up a home visit by an RN. We told them that we have our yearly wellness check up with our primary care physician.
Once i ended my business and no longer had to answer all calls i only answer calls from people I know (from my phone list) Now, if I get an unknown call it can to to voicemail. If the caller wants to schedule a visit I simply erase the message.
What I don’t know (of course) is whether companies have taken that Medicare rqmt and modified it to suit their own purposes….
PS = i am also highly suspicious of the non stop ads for Medicare Advantage plans – call us and compare. Find myself wondering about details being entered into a data base? or other nefarious purpose?
Insurance is a contract. Everything they can or can’t do with the info is spelled out in the contract, as is everything they require of you in order to keep insuring you. They can’t modify the contract in any way without informing you. You have no one else to blame if you don’t read what you sign.
Medicare advantage plans advertise because almost all Boomers are seniors now, and insurance is profitable. The way to win against any and all profiteers is to know the details. If either party violates the contract, the opposite party can sue, and they will win if competently represented. Contract law is far less ambiguous than criminal law.
I never respond and have had not problem. I also am not interested in their wellness physicals.
That works for awhile, but be aware you are giving them grounds to drop you from coverage if you become injured or seriously ill. I wouldn’t advise it. It’s a great way to go bankrupt in an emergency.
If the company really has this requirement, they can send you a letter. You have NO IDEA who is on the other end, nor where the call actually came from.
“Voice Over IP (VOIP)” services can make the call appear to come from any one of many thousand “local phone numbers.” The person could be literally anywhere in the world.
Yes, I have had 2 calls. Both times they ask me why and I told them I don’t need it. I have no idea what they are up to. I didn’t take the vax, maybe pushing that.
They will make notations if throw rugs are in the home because the resident might slip on them; will “gently” probe to see how many guns are in the house, stuff like that.
Not all Medicare Advantage plans have that requirement. Mine doesn’t. There was a thing in the provisions of Obamacare that set up this prying, something to do with nudging people over a period of years to finally give up home ownership and move into nursing homes. I can’t remember the section off hand, it’s been years since reading it, but do remember that was a big aspect of Obamacare for seniors, to convince them it was in their best interests to move into group homes.
For example, the types of questions that will be asked will be a clue as to what stage of nudging their targeted seniors are in, in the larger scheme of things. Kind of like those “help, I’ve fallen and can’t get up” commercials, fear tactics to get a generation of people who grew up being independent to begin to doubt their own capabilities; part of that “it takes a village” sales pitch but aimed at senior citizen home owners.
Good luck, remove all the stuff that’s none of the visitors business and replace it after they leave?

Just watched Tucker’s opening about the lab leak “revelation” from the DOE. They had all day to tie this to Mr. Harrelson’s “born again” monologue from SNL. But instead, they had…a Chinese ex-pat? Jesse Kelley pointed out how it’s easy to admit the truth after it’s well known. This is what Sundance and Team do everyday for us.
Before it’s well known.
I thought the Chinese expat was an excellent choice, because Tucker showed how he was ridiculed after airing her story the first time.
That is a big, big part of the story–the overwhelming censorship and narrative control employed to manipulate the public and bury the truth, at least for a while.
Remember, Trump said it was “from Chy-na”. They had to counter him, as they countered him in every truth he spoke.
FJB just issued an order approving the drawdown of US assets, up to $10 million from each agency and to also collectively draw down from US DOD assets to send $450 billion of our military hardware over to Ukraine. So when FJB and his treasury secretary cry because our military is running out of hardware, those cries are falling on deaf ears.
