This week, the President celebrated the 239th birthday of the United States, chatted with some World Cup champions, met with his national security team to discuss our anti-ISIL strategy, and hosted an historic Oval Office visit. That’s July 3rd to July 9th or, “Bask in the Glory.”

Ex-Va. governor McDonnell loses appeal of corruption convictions
By Matt Zapotosky July 10 at 10:33 PM
A three-judge federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously affirmed the public corruption convictions against former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell, thoroughly rejecting each argument from the onetime Republican rising star and declaring that it had “no cause to undo what has been done.”
The 89-page opinion from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit brings to a close an important chapter in the story that emerged more than two years ago when The Washington Post first reported on the governor’s strange relationship with a Richmond businessman. It also means that the first Virginia governor to be convicted of a crime will probably have to go to prison in the coming months.
Experts say it could energize federal prosecutors across the country and put public officials on notice that almost anything they do on behalf of a benefactor can be construed as the illegal end of a corrupt bargain.

What denying Medicaid expansion looks like
By Matt Skeens July 10 at 5:20 PM
When the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair returned to Wise County recently, it brought funnel cakes and whole families smiling — a sight not too common here in the coalfields.
This week, another gathering on the Wise County fairgrounds will see thousands of people standing in the bright summer sun: the 16th annual Remote Area Medical clinic. Some of those same families and their friends will be among those who travel to Wise not for fun rides or local band favorite Folk Soul Revival but for something lacking in this county, this state and this country: access to health care.

the map looks like a map of the Old Confederacy
If we had a media worth a crap, they would be at these fairs, and point out that folks COULD HAVE regular healthcare, if Medicaid expansion were implemented.
Put a face on those who just want access to basic healthcare.
But, that would be too much like right, and they can’t do the bullshyt of ‘ both sides do it.’.
No, both sides do NOT do it. This is all about the GOP.
THIS is the healthcare system that they want. THIS Is what they want to go back to. THIS is what would result if those Obamacare repeals actually took effect.
Yes; THEIR TURF & US SERFS
Good Morning, Everyone! :-)
