No, it’s not Obamacare, although the behemoth is a multi-headed dollar eating dragon that is quickly crippling our economy and steadily eroding the quality of the greatest healthcare system in World history. It is also not the constant bickering and name calling on Capitol Hill that seemed to if not start during his double term […]

I would be remiss if I did not mention President Trump’s “leaked” 2005 Tax Return — at least two pages of it. Isn’t it odd that a little known former Pulitzer prize winning reporter who happens to hate Donald Trump mysteriously received in his mailbox that tax return from an unknown source?

An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said: “Dr. Geezer’s clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000.” Doctor Young — who was positive that this old geezer didn’t know beans about medicine — thought this
