True story this is something this crazy guy said he did to his now wife

Jesse Watters recently remembered a very unconventional tactic that, he cracked, he once used to try and win his now-wife's favor.

On an episode of his panel series The Five last week, the Fox News host, 43, said he once "let the air out of" now-wife Emma's tires when he "was trying to get [her] to date" him.

"She couldn't go anywhere. She needed a lift, I said, 'Hey, you need a lift?' She hopped right in the car," said Watters in his story about how they got acquainted, drawing laughter and questions from the rest of the group.

The moment subsequently went viral on social media, drawing a range of reactions and criticism.

And while Emma, 29 — who worked with Watters at the time — didn't know the story before her husband told it on air, "Now she does!" he told his colleagues on The Five.

Joked Greg Gutfeld, "You're basically the Zodiac Killer."

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was enacted in 2010, but 10 states have NOT expanded Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides health care for low-income people - NOT Medicare for those over 65. They are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Some conservative states only participated because citizen ballot initiatives overruled their legislatures in Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah. Some "red" states who did expand coverage also enacted conditional work requirements too.

Medicaid is the third largest mandatory program in the federal budget, accounting for 9% of federal spending in 2022, and represents almost 20% of state budgets, on average.

Medicaid, and the expansion opportunity, are paid by the federal at 90% & states at 10%. Nearly 1 of every 5 uninsured working-age adults across the 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act are, according to a new analysis, stuck in a health care limbo known as a “coverage gap.” That means they earn too much money to receive Medicaid but not enough to qualify for financial help to purchase their own plan on the marketplace.

They are all people with incomes below the federal poverty level, and yet they have no financial assistance or coverage. The analysis also found that more than 60% of those who fall into this gap are people of color: Latino people account for 35%, Black residents account for 24%, and Asian people account for 2%.

These 10 states do not receive the enhanced federal funding for Medicaid expansion (ie, 90% of costs covered by the federal government) because states are required to fully expand Medicaid to 138% of the poverty level in order to qualify for the enhanced federal funding which would capture a larger share of those in the "coverage limbo".

The health outcomes are, of course, entirely predictable & horrific with unnecessary deaths & no preventive care.

In June, a group of Barrhead, Alberta, residents started a petition to remove all LGBT rainbow crosswalks and “Pride” flags from municipal property.

Now, the town says its Neutral Space Bylaw would in effect ban any “decorations” or designs on crosswalks that are not in the standard scheme. It would also only allow official flags to be flown on all municipal-owned buildings.

The bylaw states that there will be “no grandfathering of any existing crosswalks or flags that contravene the new bylaw,” which means the town’s existing Pride and disability crosswalks would have to be removed.

Earlier this year, residents in the Alberta town of Westlock passed a bylaw that bans all non-governmental flags from municipal buildings and mandates that crosswalks only be painted in the standard, white-striped pattern.

Emo, a small town in Ontario, was ordered to appear in front of a Human Rights Tribunal for rejecting a 2020 motion to proclaim June as “Pride” month and fly the LGBT “Pride” flag.

“That summarizes the situations unfolding across North America right now... The point of rainbow crosswalks isn’t ‘celebration’ – it’s colonization, with punishment meted out harshly to those who dare to express their disagreement or discomfort,” Jonathon Van Maren wrote.

The PDB is the "President's Daily Briefing" and is given to presidential candidates as a pragmatic courtesy in order that they can be prepared when and if they assume the office.

Recall that Trump is still facing multiple felony accounts for secretly taking, denying, lying, obfuscating and not securing top secret documents. Despite this potential security risk, Biden has continued to extend this courtesy to Trump. Previously, it had been reported that he refused to read it and Jared kushner, his son-in-law, read it religiously and in insecure locations.

Regarding the actual law and felonies alleged to being committed, essentially, the Logan Act states that private citizens cannot conduct their own diplomacy. The FARA Act (Foreign Agents Registration Act) requires “foreign agents” to register with the Attorney General. It applies broadly to anyone who acts on behalf of a “foreign principal” to influence U. S. policy or public opinion.

However, Bob Woodwards new book reports:

"Former U. S. President Donald Trump secretly spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin as many as seven times after he left office, The New York Times (NYT) reported.

According to Woodward's latest book "War," the two might have spoken a half-dozen other times after Trump left the White House in 2020, the unnamed aide claimed.

Putin and Trump allegedly spoke even as Trump was reportedly pressuring Republicans to block the $60 billion aid package for Kyiv.

The book also reports for the first time that Trump, while still in office early during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, secretly sent Mr. Putin what were then rare Abbott Point of Care test machines for the Russian’s personal use."

What do you think? Should he lose his courtesy access to the POTUS Daily Briefing until this is resolved? Should these allegations be investigated by Congress or special counsel?
