House Republican leaders abruptly pulled a rewrite of the
nation’s health-care system from consideration on Friday, a dramatic
defeat for President Trump and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that
leaves a major campaign promise unfilled and casts doubt on the
Republican Party’s ability to govern.
In addition to
leaving the Affordable Care Act in place, the news also raises questions
about the GOP’s ability to advance other high-stakes agenda items,
including tax reform and infrastructure spending. Ryan is still without a
signature achievement as speaker — and the defeat undermines Trump’s
image as a skilled dealmaker willing to strike compromises to push his
agenda forward.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Trump deflected any responsibility for the setback and blamed Democrats instead.
“We
couldn’t get one Democratic vote and we were a little bit shy, very
little, but it was still a little bit shy so we pulled it,” he said.
“I don’t blame Paul,” Trump said, referring to Ryan.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

S KOREA TRAGIC FERRY SINKING OF THE SEWOL KILLING 304 MOSTLY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ON A SPRING TRIP IN 2014 WAS RAISED BACK FROM THE DEPTHS THIS WEEK BY A CHINESE SALVAGE OPERATION SHANGHAI SALVAGE
The sunken ferry Sewol arrived near a semisubmersible ship that will be used to transport it to the port of Mokpo on South Korea's southwestern coast, the government said Friday.
"The Sewol was some 200 meters away from the semisubmersible ship as of 8:30 p.m.," said the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
It said salvage operators will now move to precisely place the 145-meter-long, 6,825-ton vessel onto the semisubmersible ship which has been waiting in a mild tidal area some 3 kilometers southeast of where the ship sank. The area where the Sewol capsized in April 2014 is known for strong tidal currents.
The ministry said it will make all-out efforts to finish the complicated process of placing the ferry on the transport ship before midnight when the neap tide period ends. The next neap tide is not until April 5.
Next, the hull will be tightly fixed to the semisubmersible ship over the next two or three days, and will then be transferred to Mokpo, some 87 kilometers to the east. This process is less affected by the weather, the government added.

YOU MUST WAIT TIL 2020 FOR A SUPER SONIC COMMERCIAL AIRLINE FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK IN 3 HOURS OR 5 HOURS FROM SAN FRAN TO ASIA - AS THE MAKER BOOM TECHNOLOGIES GETS FURTHER FUNDING TO PURSUE FROM INFINITE AND BEYOND - A MUST WAIT TO SEE IN 2020
ENGINEERS promising
to turn London to New York into a day trip have got the funding they
need to build the world’s fastest passenger jet.
Boom Supersonic said it received $33million (£26million) in funding and was ready to build its XB-1 jet prototype.The XB-1- dubbed the “baby boom” – is backed by a host of wealthy tech bosses, astronauts and engineers and is tipped to be faster and more efficient than Concorde.
Seats will cost the same as major airline’s business class – but budget tickets could be on the cards too, according to Chief Executive Blake Scholl who claimed “that’s where we’re headed over time”.

THE POTUS TRUMP GOES ON THE WHIP TO WRESTLE THE REMAINING GOP MEMBERS TO END THE 8 YEARS OF OBAMASCARE INTO ANOTHER NEW HEALTH CARE YET TO BE FOUND OUT - AS THE BILL MUST BE PASSED TO KNOW WHAT IS IN IT - AS CONGRESS CAN'T GET ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PAPER IT MUST SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS TO PERUSE - BUT THEN IS THIS NOT BETTER THAT OBAMASCARE - PICK YOUR POISON IT'S A WAIT AND SEE
"In my district, right now there's a lot of misunderstanding as to what it is we're doing," the New York Republican said on MSNBC. "And once we get it done, and then we can have the chance to really explain it."
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was famously excoriated by Republicans for her 2010 comments regarding ObamaCare that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
House leaders postponed the floor vote on the bill on Thursday in the face of mounting GOP opposition, and are expected to take up the measure on Friday. While it has the backing of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and President Trump, the bill is facing fierce opposition from conservative and some moderate Republican lawmakers — and united opposition from Democrats.

AIR TRAFFIC ALONG THE ALEUTIANS IN THE BOGOSLOF ISLAND IS THREATENING THE BUSIEST AIR TRAFFIC FROM NORTH AMERICA TO ASIA AS BOGOSLOF ERUPTION CONTINUES SINCE CHRISTMAS 2016 SENDING PLUMES OF ASH UP TO 30,000 FEET
AN ACTIVE island volcano situated in
the Pacific Ocean under one of the world’s busiest flight paths has
barely stopped erupting since Christmas and is nearing its 40th
explosion in months.
Bogoslof volcano, nestled in
the Aleutian Islands about 98km northwest of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, US,
has been in the midst of an “active eruption sequence” since
mid-December 2016.It has erupted more than 37 times since then and sent up another ash cloud as recently as Monday. The Alaska Volcano Observatory said the latest eruption lasted 12 minutes.
The observatory said the magnitude of the eruption was being monitored.
Monday’s eruption of the volcano did not immediately prompt an aviation warning for pilots although another explosion the previous week saw authorities issue a warning about ash at elevations that could affect flights.

THE HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN MADE HOODIE PRICED AT $89 IN 2013 EXPANDS THE COMPANY AMERICAN GIANT WITH FOUR MANUFACTURE PLANTS IN CALIFORNIA AND EXPANSION TO RALIEGH NC, AN AMERICAN COMPANY BORN IN INGENUITY
The insane popularity of a single sweatshirt has forced its maker
to expand into four new factories within the last year just to
meet the soaring demand.
The zip-up hoodie, made by San Francisco startup American Giant, costs $89. It had been on the market for 10 months when a December 2012 Slate article declared it "the greatest hoodie ever made" and suddenly sales exploded.
The pace of growth was so rapid that back-order waits grew to as long as four months. But people continued placing orders regardless of the wait.
At the time, American Giant had only one factory in Brisbane, California. The company has since expanded into a factory in Los Angeles and three more in rural North Carolina, just outside Raleigh.

AS N KOREA THE KIM CONTINUES ITS NEWFOUND AGGRESSION AGAINST THE WEST WITH ITS CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF ITS NUCLEAR ICBM TO STRIKE WITHOUT HINDRANCE S KOREA AND THE WEST A NEWLY DEVELOPED ROCKET ENGINE WAS TESTED TO PURSUE THE MANIAC'S DEVILS DESIRES
North Korea
conducted a test of a newly developed high-thrust engine at its Sohae
rocket launch station and leader Kim Jong-un claimed the successful test
was "a new birth" of its rocket industry, the country's official media
said on Sunday.
The engine will help the country achieve world-class satellite launch capability, KCNA said, indicating the test was likely of a new type of rocket engine for long-range missiles.
The United States and China have pledged to work together to get the North to take "a different course" and move away from its weapons programmes after US secretary of State Rex Tillerson met his Chinese counterpart on Saturday.
North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests and a series of missile launches, and is believed by experts and government officials to be working to develop nuclear-warhead missiles that can reach the United States.

ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE EVEN THE PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR BOMBING STRIKE OF N KOREA COMMAND AND CONTROL AND NUCLEAR SITE CAPABILITY WHENEVER THE KIM TRIGGER HAPPY NUCLEAR STRIKES COUNTS DOWN TO ZERO
North Korea reacted nervously to a secretive U.S. aerial bombing drill in South Korea using B-1B strategic bombers.
The official [North] Korean Central News Agency on Thursday said a fleet of B-1B Lancer bombers from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam carried out a nuclear bombing drill practicing for preemptive strikes against major targets in the North.
The planes flew for about an hour over a firing range in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, KCNA said. The South Korean and U.S. militaries have not confirmed the deployment of B-1Bs.
But a source here said two U.S. B-1B bombers took part in a bombing drill over the Korean Peninsula and flew back to their base coinciding with the arrival of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier on Wednesday to join in the ongoing U.S. and South Korean military exercises.
