Two items stuck out today as extremely confusing.

 

Jennifer Martinez of The Hill on-line via Drudge writes that “Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Dropbox CEO Andrew Houston, were on hand Wednesday to help kick off a “hackathon” event at LinkedIn’s headquarters, where a group of 20 young immigrants who came to the country illegally as children, often called “Dreamers,” will spend the next 25 hours coding Web tools aimed at advocating for immigration reform.”

 

Now, if immigration reform is finally accomplished, in one way or another, there should be no problem whatsoever. Immigrants formed and built the nation from its beginning. But, then there’s always the others who’ve arrived here “illegally” that pose a perplexing, fundamental problem. Because by giving any of them special treatment, including any kind of amnesty or easing of regulations, every individual who gained citizenship by the rules is being made a fool, which is simply incomprehensible. So, why don't these high-powered business moguls have any respect for those who arrived here honestly?

 

The next conundrum arose from an article by Christian Toto of Breitbart, also via Drudge, that says, “Millions of Americans have already been forced out of their existing health care policies, a number that may skyrocket in the new year.”

 

The piece then goes on about someone named Russell Simmons, who “sees it differently,” as follows:

 

“The hip-hop mogul says ObamaCare is already so successful it's saved thousands, if not millions of lives.

 

Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. So, let us not give up now.”

 

In this case,  what’s confusing is that, according to Mr. Simmons, legislation beginning November 1st which is still in the throes of unsuccessfully trying to allow subscribers to enroll has already saved all those lives. So, the question is, considering that the program itself didn’t even start yet, how did that life-saving happen?

 

During this past week alone, several examples have been clear illustrations of individuals, most of them far left leaning in ideology, who live in a world that’s simply non-existent. So, looking around as all their misguided fancies self-destruct in almost all aspects of governance, exactly what will it take to wake them up to reality? Because the way things are going now, there’s not going to be very much remaining when they finally arise. 

 

That’s it for today folks.
