New Healthcare Bill A Sign of Good Things To Come

By Heathcare DeKlein

I don’t know about you but when I think of America, I think of our amazing healthcare system. No matter whether you're black, white or even a woman you can be covered in our healthcare system. What’s even more amazing is that the government is going to make it even better than ever. After the house passed the bill to repeal Obamacare, it's been revealed they're going to cut funding from planned parenthood, rejoice!!! Obamacare only covered 30 million people anyways, and this new bill our representatives are drafting will without a doubt be much better. Not to mention cutting funding from planned parenthood will save the government so much money, and as a man I feel it's discriminatory that there are facilities solely dedicated to women’s health. I’ve wondered why they haven’t tried to get rid of this place ages ago. Planned Parenthood's budget is ridiculous, 3% of their budget goes to abortions, 31% goes to contraceptives, and the remaining 66% goes to testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and cancer screening screenings and prevention. You can see for yourself that our taxpayer money is being wasted on this program, if only we could just defund it completely. That money could go to addressing the 700 to 900 women who die a year because of complications arising from childbirth and pregnancies. Not to mention this will end the tension between people who support abortion and the Pro-lifers. By getting rid of Planned Parenthood we get rid of the problem, so everyone can just go back to living their lives again. For all the skeptics of this new bill even President Trump tweeted: “new healthcare bill best ever, blows obamacare away, you won't even miss it”. I didn’t even vote for the guy but I agree that this new bill just might be the change that takes America into a new golden age.

Recycled Goods Program: Taking Trash Right back to Our Mouths

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about that nutrition factors that play into children's school meals. Parents, faculty, and others have stated that food that is provided to young ones do not have that healthy values provided to continue their energy throughout the day as well as aid in good life choices later on in life. USDA have explained, “School lunches must meet meal pattern and nutrition standards based on the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The current meal pattern increases the availability of fruits,vegetables, and whole grains in the school menu.” With so many problems with lunches and so little money from the school systems what are we to do? Thus, there has been a new solution to this complaint. Lately, there has been over of trash at the local dump site, so by killing two birds with one stone, the Board of Health and Education is aiding in the proposal for Recycled Goods Program. Recycled Goods would provided the healthy option of lunches by recycling the already rotten produce, meats, and other sources of nutrients that have been wasted away to recreate better meals for the minds and bodies of our future. UC Davis Health states, "Your child’s lunch should contain a variety of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and heart-healthy fat." Moreover, this is just what the program is providing to the kids. The food will clean and picked of any hard metals that have been accidentally mixed in  while headed to the trash heap. Then, the children have a choice in either having a blended ripe smoothie or if they prefer something a little more consistency, a thick soup. The flavor might be a little different from what the children are used to but, with the use of the trash heaps disintegrating food products, we can push to create and build the strong bones for our kids. At the end, of the day, it does not matter if our kids like the food, it is about what is good for them. Principal Tanner of Lincoln Elementary states, “The program sounds questionable, but after I found out that we would be paying little to nothing for it, I was on board!”

President Trump Debunks Climate Change Myth

Trump Reveals all with CNN News Reporter

By: Kinda Catchy 

Citizens praise Donald Trump for his insights and investigation into the Climate change hoax the Chinese have tried to perpetrate.

Trump has pumped millions of dollars into research, to enlighten the American people about the lies committed by the Chinese government in order to surpass the U.S. as a world leader in manufacturing. “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive,” stated Trump.

His endless research, has led to significant advancements in manufacturing over the past years, leading America to outproduce China from 40 percent in in 2009, to over percent in 2017.

Trumps insights have meant much good to the American people and has enlightened them over the years.

Matt Kollegy of Virginia shared, “I used to be an avid recyclist, but thanks to President Trump debunking that awful myth, I can now loiter guilt free. It is totally fun, and everyone should try it.” During his CNN interview with Thomas Frank, Trump separated fact from fiction as it pertained to Global Warming. Frank:  Do you believe humans have an impact on Climate change? Trump: Just as much as every plant, and animal on earth does. Frank: What do you make of a growing body of research that states that sea levels are going to rise between 7-20 inches in 2099? Trump: That is absolutely false, but in retrospect is it truly all that bad? It doesn’t seem like much if you ask me. Frank: What do you think about the increase in extreme events around the globe? It has been cited that U.S. has seen an increase in the numbers of intense rainfall. Trump: Man does not influence this. A human can’t yell at the sky and say let there be rain. That doesn’t seem possible to me. Frank: How about the declining ice sheets in the arctic and the Penguins and Polar Bears that depend on ice for survival? Trump: I visited Happy Feet last Sunday, and he seemed just that. Happy. Frank: Any final remarks? Trump: Climate change isn’t real. Drill into the Earth, consume all that you can, and create as much waste as you like. As the young people say, YOLO. Vice President Mike Pence voiced his opinion following Trumps interview with CNN stating, “Disproving the American people about the lies they have been fed concerning global warming has been a major obstacle, but thanks to Trump’s endless and tireless efforts we are finally accomplishing this feat. We hope now that the world will be a better place.” "Climate Change: How Do We Know?" Climate.nasa.gov. N.p., 31 May 2017. Web. "Did Donald Trump Claim Global Warming Is a Hoax?" Snopes.com.

Russia’s Prime Minister to lead future American Naval Officers.

Putin Honorary Professor at Naval Academy

- J.A Hill

Despite the current debate regarding Russia’s Prime Minister Alexander Putin and the recent election controversy, Putin is set to teach a course on ethics at the United States Naval Academy, according to top White House official Jared Kushner.  Wednesday morning CNN reported that Kushner’s back channel talks with Russia were extremely fruitful in the sense that Putin feels as though he has a great deal to teach the future Naval officers about leadership, ethics and the art of persuasion.  He recalls how his first job began as a security specialist while living in back then what was known as Leningrad now St. Petersburg and eventually to be named “Putinbad”.  He would educate local business owners on the importance of paying him for his security services and expertise on how to avoid the potential dangers of organized crime.  He was often heard using one of his nifty catch phrases which every shop owner loved, “fifty percent gross income fair payment”.  His business slogan sounded eerily familiar to that of a more modern American security company, “Like KGB, I am in your home, even when you are not.” Putin mentioned how his security firm started out extremely slow until he started advertising in person with his business colleague a local KGB interrogator.  From time to time, potential customers would explain that they did not require his services as Leningrad was a relatively safe city.  Witnesses say that’s when Putin’s leadership and ability to persuade a local “earner” would just naturally emerge. Putin and his colleague would close the door and politely explain the inner workings of his business model, almost immediately convincing them of the benefits his business had to offer.  One local shop owner recalls seeing his neighbor disappear inside his shop for what seemed like thirty seconds and then the streets were filled with screams of joy as Putin and his business partner were explaining the genius behind their vision. Kushner reportedly was told these stories as a child and believed Putin’s leadership, guidance and devotion to ethics would be an invaluable addition to the United States Naval Academy and its graduates.  Before Putin can begin passing on his wisdom, he must be elected to this honorary professor seat by the board of directors.  Unfortunately, the network at the Naval Academy has been hacked and we will not know the results of the board’s decision until they are back online.

After School Programs, Hindering Rather Than Helping

“After School Programs, Hindering Rather Than Helping” K. R. Holmstrom

In March, President Trump’s budget director released a statement about which government funded programs would receive budget cuts.  The long list included one that seemed to be a surprise to some people but came as a relief to others.  Mick Mulvaney announced that after school and summer programs, run by public schools and funded by the federal government would take a $1.2 billion cut.  Mulvaney said, “They’re supposed to be educational programs, right?  That’s what they’re supposed to do.  They’re supposed to help kids who don’t get fed at home, get fed so that they do better at school…there’s no demonstrable evidence they’re doing that.” (Reilly). This announcement was greeted by national approval.  The largest amount of support for the budget cuts was from the many single-parent, working class families, which have multiple children in the public education system.  Apparently, these families have been trying to convince the government to decrease the funding for some time because the programs seem to be doing more harm to their children than good.   Stories and complaints of teachers helping their children with homework, the kids receiving too many nutritional snacks, and better social adjustment, have flooded the internet since Mulvaney’s statement to show just how terrible these programs are.  Wanda Reynolds, a single mother of three young children, who works two part-time jobs, said, “Everyday my children come home from that after school program and they tell me how the teachers are helping them with their math homework and what not.  I simply cannot believe the audacity of these teachers; they might as well be doing the work for the kids.  How are my children going to learn anything if they are getting help?  They need to learn some independence and just do it themselves and the grades may or may not be good, end of story.”  Reynolds also mentioned that her children have been receiving things like fresh fruit, low-fat milk, and hearty granola bars as snacks that the program provides.  She pointed out that her children do not receive much food at home because she is always working; “If my kids are going to each something small like an apple, it needs to be covered in sugar or deep fried so they get the proper caloric intake.  So they don’t get fat, I’ll have them walk home by themselves.  We live on a busy road with no sidewalks, but its fine.” Many parents agree with Reynolds and her reasons as to why the programs deserve the budget cuts.  Although the biggest complaint is that children seem to be adjusting socially with children who are not only in their grade, but those who are younger and older than them as well.  Rick Murray, a widower and recently unemployed father of two daughters said that his girls were making friends with kids who were younger than them and helping them with their homework.  “If I wanted my kids to play with children who weren’t their age I wouldn’t have sent them to public school.  When I was in school, we beat up the younger kids and that’s the way that it should be now” said Murray.  Teachers praised his daughters for their compassion and friendly attitudes but Murray was so upset by the way the environment had influenced his children that he removed them from the public school system and decided to go the home school route, keeping him from finding and new and sufficient job.   The over-whelming support for the after school program budget cuts has caused Mulvaney to consider taking away even more money.  In a press conference, Mulvaney said, “Even more cuts might allow us to take away equipment, like toys, games, school supplies, and first aid kits.  Having nothing builds character and that’s exactly what these kids need.”

When Life Takes You onto the Right Path

Everyone says that being overweight or obese is bad for you, but studies have proved them wrong. All of their talks about high fructose corn syrup causing food addiction really isn’t that bad. It’s only 8 times more addictive than cocaine and heroin. That’s not bad at all. Also, they say that the top three best foods are yogurt, wheat bread, and cereal bars. Reason: yogurt contains high fructose corn syrup, 2.5 times more sugar than necessary, pasteurized so no probiotic benefits, and hijacks hormone balances which causes over eating and addiction to food; wheat bread contains preservatives, is worse than white bread, and our bodies can’t break it down; cereal bars contain high fructose corn syrup, fructose, sugar, carbohydrates, and corn syrup. All of these ingredients will only cause you to eat more, kill the good bacteria in your digestive tract, make you think you’re hungry when you really aren’t, increase chances of candid growth (yeast infection in digestive track), crave sweets, lose energy, gain weight, block absorbance of vitamins A, D, E, K, diarrhea, and many other things that you would like to have.

Also, Dr. Amy Lee, a Bariatric Physician approved by the American Board of Internal Medicine and American Board of Obesity Medicine, said that, “Your digestive system can make you energy or make you fat, but it cannot do both.” What she is saying is that all foods that our bodies cannot process into energy from overeating, chemicals, preservatives, etc. will be processed as fat. Even a faster way of becoming world’s next fattest person ever.

On top of that, studies have shown that American are 3 times puffier than countries like Germany because of added excess sugar. For example, in a simple product bought at a supermarket such as sausages have added sugar. In fact, 50% of a single sausage from that package is made of added sugar as Germany only has about 10% of sugars in their sausages. Moreover, we informed a mother of two children about the added sugar and she said, “Yes. That is perfect. This way I can ensure that my children and family will have enough sugar in their system so that they can be nice and healthy.” 

Who doesn’t want to look like a ball of cheese and when someone pokes one side of your tummy you get a nice ripple effect throughout your body. You could probably win a most talented record in the Book of Genesis.

The truth is you need to get fat for your own health. This will increase chances of heart attacks, stroke, cholesterol, Type 1 diabetes, gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea, loss of concentration/focus, loss of sleep, and depression. Essentially, you will die, so don’t watch what you eat and keep destroying your digestive system! It’s only 60% or your body’s cells that you kill off the other 40% will keep you alive—for a bit.

Happy eating!

Happiness is a Happy Meal away!

Did you know that 300 million people suffer from depression worldwide? Probably not. And why would you? It’s not like mental illnesses pose a greater threat than actual physical illnesses. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death but heart disease is still number one. Apparently 1 in 6 Americans will be diagnosed with a mental illness in any given year. Although it could be worse - say 6 in 6. Now THAT would be a real killer.

Don’t want to be the one out of six Americans? There’s been some new research regarding how to comfort and cure someone with a mental illness. So pay close attention to these next few tips…

Studies show that all people who suffer from a mental illness really need is love - tough love, that is. Everybody's been sad before so what’s the difference between sad and depressed? One just takes longer to say. So suck it up buttercups! Besides, nobody wants to be a burden on others by talking about their problems all the time; one might just end up sounding like an attention whore and that’s not a good look.

Ever feel like crying? Well DON'T. Crying is for babies and you don’t want to look weaker than you already are. Crying being cathartic is just an excuse the weak give themselves. Stay strong and hold those crocodile tears in.

Did you know you can trick your mind into being happy if you really focus? If you believe, you CAN achieve!

Got OCD? According to an old wise woman, OCD is simply a matter of being a control freak so the solution is to simply chill out and not worry so much. As it turns out, seeing really is believing. If you can’t actually see all the crazy scenarios that are running through that wild mind of yours, then they don’t exist so just stop thinking about them. The only thing stopping you from being in control of your mind is you.

Give your mind a break by getting out and getting active! Stop being lazy and make an effort to get better. Exercise will get those endorphins pumping and happiness will start to feel just a few jumping jacks away. And while you’re at it, tell yourself some jokes. Laughter, sometimes, truly is the best medicine.

Still feeling down? Well stop sitting around sulking and feeling sorry for yourself. Nobody likes a Debbie Downer. Go out and make new friends! Nothing is better than surrounding yourself with complete strangers and trying to force a smile - a true challenge is what your mind needs right now. Having more friends is a great incentive because the more friends one has, the less lonely they feel. A popular camper is a happy camper.

And if all else fails, skip over the silly self-help books and over-the-top expensive therapy sessions because that’s all a scam. Plus, if friends or family hear about you seeing a shrink, they’ll know you’re crazy and definitely won’t understand. Just go straight for the pills because they’re way more convenient, not nearly as expensive, and work for everyone because there’s no such thing as individuals requiring different needs. Medication works the same on everybody. And when you’ve finally reached that happy place you’ve been searching for, treat yourself to a happy meal because nothing could be more fitting than a bag of diabetes.
