Steve Scalise told the host of Fox that people should be praying for the people in Las Vegas instead of making a political statement about gun control. But there was Scalise making his own political statement concerning gun control and the second amendment and revealing his hypocrisy. Scalise, the self proclaimed conservative just don't understand real people can pray and at the same time express their opinion on a subject matter important to the country and its people.
Scalise went on to say he supports the 2nd. amendment and then followed the same theme the NRA preaches that people need guns to protect themselves and its the best answer to a bad guy with a gun. Well there were more police officers with guns in Las Vegas on Sunday but they did not stop the murder of 59 people and the wounding of 500 more. The ditto head story about a good guy with a gun is as phony as Scalise's position.
Scalise and the republican party are in the pockets of the NRA and the gun lobby and the contributions they receive from both groups tell the sad story. It was the republican administration of George W. Bush that allowed the assault weapons ban to expire even though it did the job it was supposed to do.
At the time of the Las Vegas shooting the republican controlled House was taking up a NRA proposal to ease regulations on gun silencers. A republican House panel handling the proposal backed the bill and lawmakers were expected to move ahead on the bill according to the Associated Press. After the carnage in Las Vegas republican speaker of the House Paul Ryan announced there's no plan for the House to act on the NRA's sponsored bill soon.
Hillary Clinton spoke out about the bill and said just think how many more might have been killed in Las Vegas if the shooter had a silencer. Like automatic weapons silencers have no place in the hands of civilians. Unless pressure is applied to elected officials, the GOP will surely bring up the NRA backed silencer bill at a later date.
As this writer has expressed in previous commentary, congress has to pass a ban on all automatic and semi automatic weapons. Its the right thing to do under the circumstances. Those weapons do not belong in the hands of civilians, not even hunters because hunting is a sport and those weapons take the sport out of the sport. Steve Scalise and the republican party represents the NRA and the gun lobby and not the safety of the American people. And that really says it all.

Tough Talk From A Divisive President That Has Not Worked Well.
For the past two weekends, more NFL players took a knee during the playing of the national anthem than they did in the last few NFL seasons. One player said he would continue to take a knee until the trumpet man apologizes for his SOB remark. The trumpet mans so called tough talk made matters worse and those who have taken a knee are supported by their team mates and coaches. The use of free speech has never tarnished America the beautiful and never will. It was not a problem until the trumpet man made it one in an effort to shore up his poll numbers.
Then out of no where the carnage in Las Vegas that took 59 lives and injured over 500 people was a reminder how the trumpet man's loose tough talk is unbecoming a President. Trump was quick to criticize and blame President Obama when domestic violence took place in America on Obama's watch and told the people it would not happen on his watch. Well it did in Las Vegas and it was the worse domestic attack ever in the United States. This writer looks forward to see if President Trump holds himself responsible for what happened in Las Vegas.
The trumpet man has always been a big supporter of the NRA and the gun lobby and now what happened in Las Vegas will start the debate all over again. So we will soon find out what form of tough talk will the trumpet man take on the issue. Some in congress have already said they intend to make it an issue. The tough talk of Reagan, Bush and now Trump did not keep America safe and for obvious reasons. It is a show off mentality with no policy and its their way of trying to disguise their own failures.

Louisiana's Republican Representatives In Congress Are A Sad Pitiful Lot.
All of Louisiana's representatives in the U.S. House and Senate supported the three health care bills that were rejected so far this year, including the senate's bill they pulled last week. They did so knowing if passed it would have hurt Louisiana severely and they did so even though they knew the health care bills were a fraud, a scheme and a lie.
Now comes Louisiana's representative in the U.S. House Garret Graves of Baton Rouge in a Times Picayune article of 10/1 who says Trump should not have suspended the Jones Act which will allow foreign ships to deliver relief to Puerto Rico in regard to the crisis on that island due to Hurricane Marie. Graves says Trump's action took American jobs and sent them overseas. Yet Graves knew all along that is what Trump and his business has been doing for years with factories in foreign countries including China and Mexico where he hires cheap labor.
Graves knew it when Trump was a candidate and he knew the trumpet man as President has a conflict of interest but still supports Trump. Graves is also one of Louisiana's reps who voted for the U.S. House health care scheme. If Graves is really concerned about U.S. jobs, I would suggest he tell the trumpet man to move his foreign manufacturing plants to the United States.
The hypocrisy that define Louisiana's republicans is breath taking. They care nothing about Louisiana and its people and are willing to continue their lies and schemes. They are also willing to be ditto heads for the trumpet man.

Up Next For Congress: Trump and The Republican's Tax Reform Scheme and Ploy..
First it was the trumpet man and republicans health care scheme and ploy that failed and now the push is on to bring back Reagans and George W. Bush's trickle down economic scheme and ploy in the name of tax reform. And once again the trumpet man and the republicans scheme is to lower the tax rate dramatically for corporate America and the wealthy and throw peanuts to everyone else. It is SOP for republican Administrations.
The trumpet man is the big fraud on the matter because he refuses to make his tax returns public and there fore shows no transparency. He has not divested himself from his company business and stands to make millions on any reduction to the tax code for corporate America and the wealthy. Past Presidents understood the conflict of interest issue and took the proper steps to isolate themselves from their financial matters. But the trumpet man does not want the people to know what he is hiding on his tax returns.
Corporate America and the wealthy continue to do well financially under the present tax code and the economy continues to create jobs. It's policy that counts and that is what President Obama had, policy. In fact the Obama administration let the Bush tax cuts expire for those making over $550,000.00 a year and the economy and jobs did better on Obama's watch than on Bush's watch. Tax cuts for the wealthy and Corporate America never reduced the federal deficit under Reagan or Bush and took trillions of dollars from the federal government's revenue. Despite the trillions of dollars in tax cuts under Reagan and Bush, neither of them balanced one federal budget in the 16 years they served and both left office with the deficit higher than when they took office.
The democrats in congress should put the trumpet man on notice that they will not talk about any reductions in the tax rates for corporate America or the wealthy until Trump makes his tax returns public so the people will know how much the trumpet man will make on the deal and that the first business of any tax reform bill should be to cancel all the tax loopholes and special tax exemptions for corporate America and the wealthy with no strings attached.
The trumpet man has made a life out of being dishonest with people and continues to follow the same corrupt pattern as President.

Louisiana's Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser: The Mouth Roars Again
Billy Nungesser was the subject of a previous PolitiDose commentary during the BP rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico that resulted in the death of 11 rig workers and billions of dollars in damages to Louisiana's environment and property. Nungesser who was President of Plaquemine parish at the time was the mouth who criticized President Obama's decision on the moratorium in the gulf until answers could be given in what took place. And he opposed President Obama's every move.
Now we have a Times Picayune article dated 9/27 where the mouth said he will not attend the Saints game in London because some Saint players protested during the national anthem before their game with Carolina. the article also reported Nungesser said he would not be attending any more NFL games because of the protest. Well, like Trump, Nungesser is about a year late as he and the trumpet man never made an issue out of Frisco's quarterback Colin Kaepernick protest when he took a knee during a game last year. I wonder why he did not stop watching the NFL at that time?
That same Times Picayune carried another article by the same author who reported Louisiana's republican rep., Kenny Havard said Louisiana should pull Saints funding because of the Saint's players protest. Nungesser during the interview said it was worth discussing whether Louisiana should offer so much support to the Saints given the recent protests. Later he said he didn't have an opinion on whether the contracts should be reviewed by the legislators.
There are better reasons why the elected officials of Louisiana should have never given Tom Benson and the Saints the millions of dollars in corporate welfare in the first place. And those reasons are more legit than a few Saints players taking a knee or sitting out the national anthem. But leave it to politicians to try and cover their mistakes any way they can even though taking a knee was done on such a small scale prior to the trumpet man's SOB remark.
Nungesser also said this in the article about the protesters. They are using this great opportunity they have to disgrace America. They say they are protesting police brutality. There are only a handful of police that have been convicted of doing something wrong. Nungesser seems to be saying in this statement, since only a hand full of police have been convicted of doing something wrong, that does not justify players taking a knee. Well if that is the case, only a hand full of players have taking a knee before the trumpet man's SOB remark so why blow things out of proportion. Well, because that is what politicians do when they want attention.
Burning the American flag, taking a knee and other forms of protest will always be debated in the public and political arena because people on both sides have strong feelings and free speech defines America. Hate groups carry Nazi and other symbols and flags that disgrace the American flag and all it stands for and is protected by freedom of speech. Yet, they get a free pass from the trumpet man and the SOB remark is with held. Taking a knee and other forms of protest will continue and America with continue to move on in the right direction because the great majority of Americans will always show respect to our institutions and all the good that it represents. The American flag and our national anthem are one and the same and will also continue to be respected by the great majority of our citizens.
Yes, our country is still America the beautiful and has never lost its greatness.
Note: PolitiDose carried past commentary long ago about the millions of corporate welfare given Mr. Benson and the Saints by the state politicians and how wrong that was since Mr. Benson was a multi-millionaire from the very beginning. That give away of tax payers money was and still is a disgrace. And there is no good excuse.

Trump and The Republican Senate Pull Their Latest Cassidy-Graham Health Care Scheme Bill
The republicans health care scheme died its third death when once again their party failed to obtain enough votes to pass. But those who have heart should know the senate's leader Mitch McConnell said they will try again at a later date. The trumpet man and his party are the dishonest ones when it comes to health care and their proposals never matched their rhetoric of how it was going to be much better than the ACA, insure more people, etc., etc., etc. The CBO's report exposed and destroyed their lies.
Democratic senate leader Chuck Schumer said after the bill was pulled the democrats stand ready to work with the republicans to improve the ACA and make it better when the republicans take repeal and replace off the table. Otherwise, they will continue to oppose the republicans health care scheme. It has been the position of the democrats since day one. The republicans rhetoric on the issue shames the trumpet man and his party's ability to govern. Their foolish statement that with a republican President and republican controlled congress they could repeal and replace the ACA rather quickly was to appeal to their base even though they knew better.
This writer is waiting for a conservative opinion writer to ask the trumpet man when he was going to introduce his own health care plan. After all, as President, he said he would do so before the end of March. That was over 6 months ago. To my knowledge, they have never asked the question. I guess they think the question is too tough. On the other hand, they probably know they will learn nothing from his answer.
After seven months of failure the trumpet man will now turn his attention to tax reform and visit Puerto Rico which he has caught criticism for his failure to visit after Hurricane Maria and its destruction to that island. He already tried to change the conversation to the NFL.

Another Conservative Opinion Writer Has His Nose Bent Out Of Shape
Erick Erickson, the conservative republican opinion writer in the Times Picayune article dated 9/22 titled, "Kimmel has no moral authority" follows the ditto head ideology of his party on the health care scheme and ploy. Erickson gets bent out of shape because Kimmel criticized Senator Bill Cassidy's health care bill that does not protect the very people Cassidy said it would.
Erickson then goes on to compare Kimmel's family health problems and wealth to his own and some how uses that to declare Kimmel has no moral authority. Of course those that follow Trump and the republican party's rhetoric on health care, know the only thing those folks care about is reversing the success of President Obama's administration no matter who they hurt and their health care scheme hurts real people.
Kimmel actually has more moral authority than Erickson on the subject matter because Erickson goes along with the republican's scheme and ploy and even promotes it. Seven and a half years of fraudulent health care rhetoric and all the republicans can come up with is a scheme where millions of Americans lose their health care coverage.
The Cassidy-Graham health care scheme is being acknowledged by several republicans in congress who are opposed to its passage. Those opposed can not offer any thing better and still want to repeal and replace the ACA which is working. That lack of having a sound plan is proof the republicans could care less about health care. And controlling both houses of congress for the last two years and seven months and doing nothing is more proof. So sorry Erickson your time is up.
No matter how you cut it, the right thing to do is to improve on the ACA and make it better. The answer has been there all along, just like the democrats have said all along, especially Hillary Clinton.

The Unstable Trumpet Man Continues To Taint The Presidency
After seven months in office President Trump is still the tainted President (this writer called the shot early on) who brought his corrupted moral business persona to the White House. The latest sad example is the trumpet man's statement in Alabama that sports figures who protest are SOB's. That is the type of example the trumpet man loves our children to be exposed to.
When your job approval rating is poor, you go to a state like Alabama that covers your base and make such a statement to gain attention. It serves the trumpet man's ego and hopefully takes the people's mind off his failures. But the malignancy in the White House continues to grow along with the unstable behavior of the trumpet man. The divisive speech in Alabama shared the same divisive theme earlier in the week before the United Nations in New York. Make no mistake, the trumpet man is no friend to the American flag. Early in his administration his wife had to remind him to put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem was being played.
America the beautiful, that the President can not even vision has lived through and survived the protest of our nation's wars and flag for over 200 years and our people are still moral, sane and patriotic. And during war and peace the nation still has those men and women who are proud to have worn the uniform of their country. Let me ask this question. If one protest against a war, does that mean he is also protesting against the flag? Both are related because you go to war for your country and take the American flag with you.
If the answer is yes, does that mean protesters are SOB's like the trumpet man says? And if you believe yes, then does that mean protesters who dodged the draft or used other excuses not to serve their country or the flag SOB's. This writer does not think so and those who use that term to describe protesters, especially the President reveal their own lack of morals and respect for others and the flag.
Those who protest police brutality, real or alleged by kneeling during the national anthem follows a pattern seen many times before over a long period of time and the American flag still flies proudly. The U.S. Constitution works and those who want to condemn protesters in public have the means to do so because of that same freedom of speech. That is what freedom is all about. When taken to the extreme it becomes divisive and unfortunately that is what some people are really all about. The trumpet man used the issue to distract from the trouble he is in.
The only cure for the trumpet man's disrespect for the Presidency in using the kind of language he uses is impeachment. It is a sad situation when the highest elected office in the land does not deserve respect because of his own disrespectful behavior towards others.

Another First For PolitiDose
The Cassidy-Graham health care bill is in the news and should be voted on next week by the U.S. Senate according to statements by the republican party. Cassidy, who represents Louisiana in the U.S. Senate and Graham have long been opponents of the ACA and like their republican colleges have lied time and time again about the ACA and their own party's health care plans. Both voted for the last republican health care plan in the Senate which failed. Like the House plan that failed, it was not a health care plan at all. It was a fraud and a ploy that the CBO report tore apart.
The Cassidy-Graham bill, like the previous House and Senate bills took place with out public input and both Cassidy and Graham said they were opposed to that but like the ditto heads in their party still support the bill. Cassidy is no friend to the people of Louisiana and governor John B. Edwards is right in his opposition to their latest bill. Cassidy also punted the Kimmel rule he said he supports to the states which is a cop out. Conservative opinion writers in Louisiana have given Cassidy a pass on his health care positions because he is a doctor and actually supported his work in the republican health care plans. But now, since the Cassidy-Graham bill is being exposed as a continuing republican fraud, some of those opinion writers are changing their tune.
Well, what else is new. PolitiDose has pointed out Cassady and the republican scam and lies many times over in previous commentary from the very beginning. It is really not hard to understand the republicans failure to govern and the lies they use to justify their actions. And once again, as issues unfold, you read it here first in PolitiDose, your daily dose of political commentary.

The Trumpet Man and The Rocket Man Share Many Of The Same Traits
Both of them (President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un) try and talk tough because they can not articulate in trying to communicate, they are both bombastic, confrontational, divisive, liars, unqualified for the office they hold, dishonest and ego driven to the point of self adulation. And Tuesday, the trumpet man in his very first appearance and speech before the United Nations in New York was uninspiring.
Instead of representing the interest of the United States in a Presidential manner the trumpet man tried to lecture the U.N. members in a non productive speech, especially concerning North Korea and Iran. He choose the wrong setting to degrade the Iran agreement and vowed to totally destroy North Korea if they threatened the U.S. or its allies. That statement concerning North Korea was a change from what the trumpet man and his national security team has been saying for months. Their position all along was the rocket man actually threatened the U.S but now the word IF has been added. PolitiDose in previous commentary pointed out that the rocket man never threatened the U.S. and certainly never said they would totally destroy the U.S. The rocket man did say North Korea's nuclear capabilities helped balance any threat from the U.S.
Remarks by the trumpet man on the Iran agreement was very un-Presidential like so many other remarks he has made in the past. Trying to link the agreement to other issues after the fact indicates the trumpet man lacks any policy to deal with those issues. Thank goodness President Obama's administration had an effective policy to deal with the various problems and issues.
The words threat, threaten and threatening are being used by the trumpet man and those who want war with North Korea, like George W. Bush used the words in the run up to war in Iraq. The rocket mans nuclear weapons are a threat just like China and Russian nuclear weapons are a threat, but none has threatened the U.S. with their use or vowed to totally destroy the United States. There is a difference. North Korea has kept the armistice that ended the Korean War in July 1953 and will not launch a preemptive war against any one for obvious reasons. Their only means of supporting a war is financial help from China and Russia and those two countries have problems of their own and would not support any nuclear war that would likely spread.
France's President Emmanuel Macron who is friendly with President Trump took sharp exceptions to the trumpet man's speech concerning North Korea and Iran and pointed out the Iran agreement is solid, robust and verifiable and that renouncing it was a grave error. Macron also spoke about an issue the trumpet man ignored, climate change, and said the planet will not negotiate with us. On North Korea Macron said France rejects escalation and will not close any doors to dialogue.
The answer to the Korean problem is still a united Korea. One country, one people, one leader and one government. And one day the U.S. will have a leader with the wisdom and courage who understands the problem and stands up and leads in that direction. This writer would not be surprised if some one else stands up in that regard before a U.S. President does. And which ever way it happens, remember, you read it hear first in PolitiDose, your daily dose of political commentary.

Instead of representing the interest of the United States in a Presidential manner the trumpet man tried to lecture the U.N. members in a non productive speech, especially concerning North Korea and Iran. He choose the wrong setting to degrade the Iran agreement and vowed to totally destroy North Korea if they threatened the U.S. or its allies. That statement concerning North Korea was a change from what the trumpet man and his national security team has been saying for months. Their position all along was the rocket man actually threatened the U.S but now the word IF has been added. PolitiDose in previous commentary pointed out that the rocket man never threatened the U.S. and certainly never said they would totally destroy the U.S. The rocket man did say North Korea's nuclear capabilities helped balance any threat from the U.S.
Remarks by the trumpet man on the Iran agreement was very un-Presidential like so many other remarks he has made in the past. Trying to link the agreement to other issues after the fact indicates the trumpet man lacks any policy to deal with those issues. Thank goodness President Obama's administration had an effective policy to deal with the various problems and issues.
The words threat, threaten and threatening are being used by the trumpet man and those who want war with North Korea, like George W. Bush used the words in the run up to war in Iraq. The rocket mans nuclear weapons are a threat just like China and Russian nuclear weapons are a threat, but none has threatened the U.S. with their use or vowed to totally destroy the United States. There is a difference. North Korea has kept the armistice that ended the Korean War in July 1953 and will not launch a preemptive war against any one for obvious reasons. Their only means of supporting a war is financial help from China and Russia and those two countries have problems of their own and would not support any nuclear war that would likely spread.
France's President Emmanuel Macron who is friendly with President Trump took sharp exceptions to the trumpet man's speech concerning North Korea and Iran and pointed out the Iran agreement is solid, robust and verifiable and that renouncing it was a grave error. Macron also spoke about an issue the trumpet man ignored, climate change, and said the planet will not negotiate with us. On North Korea Macron said France rejects escalation and will not close any doors to dialogue.
The answer to the Korean problem is still a united Korea. One country, one people, one leader and one government. And one day the U.S. will have a leader with the wisdom and courage who understands the problem and stands up and leads in that direction.
