On prescription drugs, patients must be 'free to choose'

“From Martin Shkreli to EpiPen, the outrageous costs of prescription drugs have fueled short-lived media storms with little reform to show for.

It can easily take 12 years and cost a pharmaceutical company $2 billion to pass the FDA's clinical trials and bring a drug to market. Meanwhile, patients dealing with serious or life-threatening illnesses have little access to potentially life-changing or life-saving drugs undergoing the approval process, extinguishing what little hope they had left…

One bold idea could easily change that, providing patients of all kinds with faster access to the drugs they need: Free to Choose Medicine.

Named after Milton Friedman's famous phrase, FTCM is a proposal by the health care researcher Bartley Madden to create a new track in the FDA's approval process…

Free-to-choose drugs could be available seven years earlier than the status quo and fundamentally change the economics of drug developmental costs and drug pricing — to the benefit of patients.”

White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader

Listen up White People…!
With nutbags in leadership roles of BLM and other fringe liberal groups, we can anticipate their demise even sooner.
Of note here is that this local liberal weekly rag was started by our liberal, crazy US Rep John Yarmuth as is now owned by his son.

Nice to know what's representing us in DC.

Believe It or Not--Liberal ESPN Has Dropped Announcer Robert Lee

Yes…ESPN has lost tens of thousands of viewers and subscribers over the past 5 years due to their liberal shenanigans. But this one takes the cake. They have dropped an announcer from the upcoming Virginia-William and Mary football game because his name may offend some snowflake viewers. His name is Robert Lee. Never mind that, unlike his namesake of Civil War prominence, the modern day person is of Asian descent. You cannot make this stuff up.

Canadian Prime Minister speaks out against "irregular" entry.

Dear P.M. Ken Doll is having vocabulary issues now that he's forced to admit that a flood of illegal immigrants to his country might cause a tad worse problem then striving to be a #Tolerant nation. Obviously if he actually used the word ILLEGAL, some of his SJW fanzies would be a bit cross with him so Irregularly will have to do. Of course if even that word is considered insensitive or constitutes a micro-agression he can resort to words like Inexplicably or Unobtrusively.

Wreck of the USS Indianapolis Found

I was quite shocked to see this story on Twitter Saturday morning. I didn't even know anyone was looking for the ship. This is personal. My father lost his brother, a young man of 19 years old when the Indy sunk on 7/30/1945. Many people lost family members during WWII. Our story is no different. I wish my dad and his brothers could have seen this day. They are all gone now. Hopefully there will be some closure for the families of the men that died trapped in the ship and the ones that went through the nightmare floating in the ocean for days.

The 10 Most 'Hateful' States

The top 10 list of most 'hateful' states is via our favorite Communist organization, Southern Poverty Law Center.

There seems to be a pattern. MT is #1 and ID is #2, #3 thru #8 are southern, last is IN (Pence's state, of course).

The actual formulas used are in this article:
http://247wallst.com/special-report/2017/08/14/10-states-with-the-most-hate-groups-3/4/

1. Montana
> Hate groups: 9.6/million
> Number of hate groups: 10
> Pct. pop. identifying as white: 88.9% (8th highest)
> Pct. pop foreign born: 2.1% (4th lowest)

There are 10 active hate groups in Montana, up from six in 2015. Adjusted to the state’s population of just over 1 million, no state has a higher concentration of active hate organizations. The true level of organized hatred conducted in a state can often be difficult to determine. In Montana, however, white supremacy and far-right radicalism is often closer to the surface than in other parts of the country. They are, for example, talking points of local Montana politician Taylor Rose, who has a history of involvement with white nationalist organizations. Despite his views and affiliations, Rose received broad GOP support and narrowly lost the election for the Montana House of Representatives this past year.
Widespread anti-Islamic sentiment surfaced also after a refugee resettlement program was introduced at the end of last year in Missoula. Over 97% of Montana residents are U.S. natives, the second highest percentage, and just 2.1% of the population are immigrants, the fourth smallest share.

2. Idaho
> Hate groups: 7.1/million
> Number of hate groups: 12
> Pct. pop. identifying as white: 91.5% (5th highest)
> Pct. pop foreign born: 5.7% (22nd lowest)

There are 7.1 hate groups for every 1 million people in Idaho, nearly the greatest concentration of any state considered. One of the least diverse states in the country, some 91.5% of the state’s population identifies as white, nearly the largest share of any U.S. state. Despite the state’s relative racial homogeneity, or perhaps because of it, one of the dozen hate groups operating in Idaho is a KKK chapter based in Hayden.
Newly emerging hate groups in Idaho reflect the broader changes occurring on a national scale. The SPLC identified five anti-Muslim groups operating in the state in 2016, groups that were not active as recently as 2015.
