Puerto Rico a country or a state!


Our government must allow a vote from the citizens of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Country or State

and then back off and give in to their wishes.

While we are at it,
back off the ridiculous debt
made for the most part
by this our government!

And this is why it should be.

In 1776 a ragtag group of citizens went to war against an overpowering overlord (the King of the British Isles), to become a free country!

Why should this country overlord any other country or territory?


However, at times a non willing possession!

Puerto Rico’s Complicated History with the United States

It all started with

which began in the spring of 1898, when Puerto Rico was a Spanish territory.

The U.S. invaded Puerto Rico
not only because it was a Spanish territory,
but also due to its interests in developing a sugar market there,


a history professor at the University of Florida.


In the first three decades of its rule, the U.S. government made efforts to Americanize its new possession, including granting full U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans in 1917 and considering a measure that would make English the island’s official language. However, during the 1930s, a nationalist movement led by the Popular Democratic Party won wide support across the island, and further U.S. assimilation was successfully opposed. Beginning in 1948, Puerto Ricans could elect their own governor, and in 1952 the U.S. Congress approved a new Puerto Rican constitution that made the island an autonomous U.S. commonwealth, with its citizens retaining American citizenship. The constitution was formally adopted by Puerto Rico on July 25, 1952, the 54th anniversary of the U.S. invasion.


Also while we are at freeing these slave territories!
Organic Act
of the
Virgin Islands

October 1776. Although unofficial, the exchange marked the first acknowledgment of an American flag from foreign soil.

The U.S. Navy and the Interior Departments ran the territory
until Congress passed the Organic Act of the Virgin Islands in 1936, which was revised in 1954.

Since then, the islands have held five constitutional conventions. The 2009 convention adopted a proposed territorial constitution that Congress rejected in 2010. The lawmakers and the Obama administration urged the delegates to try again. Accordingly, the convention reconvened in October 2012 to weigh revisions. But it proved unable to reach a consensus before an Oct. 31 deadline.

Today,
the islands remain a U.S. territory, run by an elected governor. The residents are American citizens.

The Trump Administration is targeting Medicaid

The Trump Administration is targeting Medicaid once again this time they’re threatening our lifetime limits on health coverage.
Trump's budget for the poor, elders and the middleclass.
Building a useless wall and drastically reducing our Medicare and Medicaid Healthcare!
If Donald Trump’s administration could do anything it wanted in health care, this is what it would do, as told by the FY 2019 budget the White House released Monday.
Repeal/replace Obamacare and overhaul Medicaid with Graham-Cassidy — but harsher
At least officially, Trump isn’t giving up on repealing the Affordable Care Act. The budget proposes enacting a repeal-and-replace bill that closely resembles the plan put forward by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) last fall, which would have turned much of Obamacare’s funding for Medicaid expansion and premium subsidies into block grants for states to create their own health care programs. It would also overhaul Medicaid with a per-person spending cap.
That plan, you will recall, was projected to lead to 20 million fewer Americans having health insurance in 2026, versus Obamacare, and a $215 billion cut to federal health care spending over 10 years.
This is a good time to note that presidents’ budgets don’t have any force of law and are rarely acted upon. Nevertheless, they are a window into the administration’s priorities and can set the table for future policymaking — say, if Republicans expand their Senate majority in 2019.
The Trump proposal implements the deepest possible cuts for Medicaid and the Graham-Cassidy block grants, picking the lowest of the available growth rates (the regular Consumer Price Index, which is lower than the medical CPI) for the block grants.

WE CALL B.S.!!!!!!!!!!


One Million Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's are on their way to Washington looking for politicians!

Kyle Kashuv

Congress, you can hide but you can not run!

One unarmed Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi kicked the British out of India.

How many unarmed young Gandhi’s will it take to kick

(The National Rifle Association),

out of Washington?

One Million, five Million?

No!

Whatever it takes!
NRA,

Not happy with my Navy today!



Navy considers scrapping a hospital ship in cost-cutting move.

Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy transits the waters near Guam en route for Pacific Partnership 2018 Friday, March 16, 2018.
The Navy proposes mothballing one of its two hospital ships
to free money
to spend on warships, submarines and aircraft.
KELSEY L. ADAMS/U.S. NAVY
As it stands now
China, Russia and the United States of America,
will be able to kill the world ten times over.
So now our navy wants to kill one of only two hospital ships!
Is it any wonder why this country cannot even get military
 'killing machines of mass murdering' away from stupid people?
It is not against the 2nd or the 14th amendment for the navy to kill a hospital.
So, why is it against the 2nd and the 14th amendment to keep weapons of mass destruction from stupid people?
Also so as it stands now!
I will keep posting on Face Book until Mark Zuckerman shuts me down (Again).
or
If after some time goes by and he still does not show 'real remorse' for stabbing so many good people, you're truly, in the back, which ever comes first!
Just in case too many of his sponsors keep dipping into his wallet and he gives in to his customers demand!
