"Conservative activists are complaining that the real motive for killing a vote was to avoid ruffling the feathers of the health insurance lobby by ending the ObamaCare insurance industry safety net.
Conservative lawmakers also fear that in the anticipated lame-duck session in December, Republicans will allow the Obama administration a de facto blank check to make payments to insurance companies that lose money on ObamaCare policies without congressional approval."
The guarantee against losses on ObamaCare enrollees encourages insurers to toss sound underwriting standards out the window......"READ MORE
"The United States military and intelligence community have learned a lot over the past decade of conflict. Our commander in chief, unfortunately, has not. Since the start of his administration, President Barack Obama has ignored his generals and the intelligence community. Over the past few weeks, he has half-heartedly pursued a strategy that destines us to fail in our mission, and over the past three days, he and his White House have lied to prove otherwise. To those who wear our nation’s uniform, or serve in her intelligence community, that’s insult — and injury." - Joseph Miller, Daily Caller

Now, this is what you call "breaking" news....
Apparently, Kim Jong Un is so short, so overweight and so vain that his use of high heels caused him to facture both ankles. Yes, if this story is true, the portly North Korean dictator simply wobbled a bit too unsteadily on his heels. Next thing you know, gravity did what it does best: snap! snap!
According to some sources, the Not-So-Little Little Emperor has undergone surgery to repair both fractures and is now recuperating from the ordeal.
This bizarre story involving "Cuban heels" -- yeah, blame it all on something Cuban -- explains his recent disappearance from the public eye. (According to Wikipedia, high heels on men's shoes are known as "Cuban heels.")
That such preposterous footwear should be linked to Cuba seems wrong. The high heel was invented by none other than another height-challenged monarch: King Louis XIV of France, in the 17th century.
Anyway, questions of attribution aside, it seems that roly-poly Kim Jong Un takes a fall every time something Cuban shows up in his life. Last year it was the Chon Chong Gang Sugary Missile shipment from Cuba. This year it's a pair of "Cuban" heels.
Perhaps he should reciprocate by sending Raul Castro a pair of Korean shoes with stiletto heels. No, wait, Raul probably owns hundreds of pairs already. Maybe he should just send him some extra-spicy Kim Chee, so he can end up like his brother Fidel.Read More @The Telegraph
