Philippines will invoke its defense treaty with the U.S. if a Filipino soldier is killed
FEATUREDWIB LANDWIB POLITICS April 15, 2024 Staff Writer
 

The Philippines will invoke its defense treaty with the U.S. if a Filipino soldier dies from a foreign attack, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said, in remarks that come amid growing tensions with China.

“I think Secretary Austin explained it very well, if any Filipino serviceman is killed by an attack from any foreign power, then that is time to invoke the Mutual Defense Treaty,” Marcos told foreign correspondents in Manila on Monday, referring to his conversation with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last week at the Pentagon.

Marcos’s comments come in the aftermath of a joint summit with President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington last week. They offer clarity on the circumstances that may draw in the U.S. — a treaty ally of the Philippines — as tensions between Manila and Beijing ratchet up over the disputed South China Sea.

Trump thought 'Access Hollywood' tape was 'pretty standard stuff' guys talked about: Hicks
By Kyle Schnitzer

Hope Hicks testified that Donald Trump thought his comments with Billy Bush in the "Access Hollywood" tape were "pretty standard stuff for two guys chatting with each other."

“I know Mr. Trump felt this wasn’t good," Hicks said, recalling the moment Trump learned about the tape.

She said Trump called it "just two guys talking privately, locker room talk."

"It wasn’t something to get so upset over. He certainly didn’t," Hicks told prosecutors.

She later added, “He felt this was pretty standard stuff for two guys chatting with each other.”

Hicks recalled how she was a "little stunned" about the video that she knew was concerning and would "dominate the news cycle" the next several days.

"Obviously it wasn’t helpful, but there were a lot of layers to it that complicated where we were trying to go with the campaign," Hicks testified about the video, saying it was a "damaging development."

"This was pulling us backwards.”

His Uncle Bosey was a teacher too.  He taught the Cannibals how to use a knife and fork.

It's in the very first post on the page, embedded in MTG's own tweet where she posts language from the bill.  I'll repost it here where you can read her objection and the actual language of the bill.

Surely, they aren't going to be expected to pay for their healthcare.  The taxpayers will help, won't they? :whistle:

Biden Gives 100K Illegals Obamacare
By Pamela Geller - on May 3, 2024
 
Obamacare destroyed the greatest healthcare system in the world. Ask yourself, how is your healthcare plan since Obama socialized medicine. Now Obama 2.0 (Biden) is going for the kill.

The Democrats are breaking our backs.

Biden to Let 100,000 Migrants Enroll in Obamacare
By: Newsmax, 03 May 2024:

 
Roughly 100,000 immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children are expected to enroll in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance next year under a new directive the Biden administration released Friday.

The move took longer than promised to finalize and fell short of Democratic President Joe Biden’s initial proposal to allow those migrants to sign up for Medicaid, the health insurance program that provides nearly free coverage for the nation’s poorest people.

Have you a link to the bill you read and the objections?  If so, would you be a dear and post both @Maj. Bill Martin ?  This info should make an interesting read.  Thanks.
