America’s Nursing-Home Pharmacy System
Is About to Break
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 12/3/2025 4:10:18 PM
Democrats in Washington have spent the last two years celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug-pricing provisions. And, yes, lower prices and a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap make for good headlines, but beneath that victory lap sits a part of the health-care system almost no one thinks about: the pharmacies that serve nursing-home residents. Their stability determines whether millions of elderly Americans receive the medications they rely on every day. Those pharmacies are the weak point in the IRA rollout, and the pressure on them is building. Long-term-care (LTC) pharmacies aren’t retail storefronts. They don’t rely on walk-in traffic, and they don’t have the product mix that helps chains absorb financial shocks.

Hands, Force Americans to Pay Illegal
Aliens' Legal Bills 14 replies
Go ahead and put this in the category, "we told you so," Democrats are the pro-crime party. Need more proof? Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7) wants to make Americans pay for illegal aliens' legal defense, and stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from being able to detain people who shouldn't even be in our country. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jayapal was joined by fellow Democrats to announce her bill H.R.2760 - The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act - which has 123 Democrat co-sponsors in the House. Jayapal admitted that her bill not only "overhauls the detention system," but also "drastically scales back the use of detention" by

California’s top elected officials announced a new online portal Wednesday with the stated purpose of having members of the public share information with the state’s Department of Justice about “potentially unlawful activity by federal agents and officers across the state.”
Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a press release from the governor’s office, acknowledging that “Federal agents have broad authority to enforce federal laws, including federal immigration laws,” but adding that “they must do so lawfully.”
The portal allows citizens to submit videos and photos to help “create a record of potential unlawful conduct by federal agents, and inform possible legal actions

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a convicted felon who served seven years for a string of armed robberies targeting New York City taxi drivers to advise him on the "criminal legal system."
Mysonne Linen, a rapper-turned-social justice activist, will serve on Mamdani's "criminal legal system committee," 1 of 17 committees that Mamdani created to help transition into his administration. Mamdani said the appointees "will be tasked with not only making personnel recommendations but policy recommendations."
Americans with concerns about the influx of unvetted “migrants” have another example to worry about — and another potential future to be infuriated over.
The venerable German tradition of Christmas markets — festive villages blossoming in city centers for the seasonal celebration — is taking a dark turn with the installation of massive security measures in the wake of deadly attacks by Muslims in recent years.
And as U.K. conservative firebrand Tommy Robinson put it: “Christmas market in Germany is starting to look like a war zone.” It isn’t hard to see what he’s talking about.
Robinson, who has spent years battling the establishment in the U.K. political arena, wrote
Nearly 44% of the 16,000 truck driving programs listed nationwide by the government may be forced to close if they lose their students after a review by the federal Transportation Department found they may not be complying with minimum requirements.
The Transportation Department said Monday that it plans to revoke the certification of nearly 3,000 schools unless they can comply with training requirements in the next 30 days. The targeted schools must notify students that their certification is in jeopardy. Another 4,500 schools are being warned they may face similar action.
Schools that lose certification will no longer be able to issue the certificates showing a driver completed training that's required

Nativity Scene to Make Anti-Trump Political Statement 18 replies
When the far left began to subsume cultural institutions, there was one “holy grail” (pun very much intended) target that they had their eyes set on: The church.
While some churches resisted the calls to leftism, a fair number of them did not, leading to a rise in hyper-progressive churches that seem more interested in the rainbow of the LGBT movement than the crimson blood of Jesus Christ.
Those same churches also became hyper-politicized, often siding with the left-wing establishment when it comes to all things President Donald Trump and his administration — including immigration enforcement. For the more pious readers (or for those who are not terminally online)
Team Trump is finally going straight for the pressure point nobody in the political class ever wants to talk about… remittances. And if the plan works the way it’s designed, the gravy train that’s been draining American communities for decades is about to go belly up. Before we get into the details of what President Trump wants to do and why, we need to talk about what “remittances” actually are. Because most Americans don’t realize just how massive this system is or how much of our economy has been very quietly bleeding out thanks to it.
Remittances are simple: illegals come here, take jobs, use our schools, hospitals, roads, and services,
The corporate media's obsession – or lack thereof, depending on who occupies the Oval Office – with presidential health is something to behold. They were entirely incurious about former President Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline and delighted in gaslighting the American public about it, but are at hair-on-fire alert levels when President Donald Trump sports a bruise or retains a little water. It's all deflection, of course. The media goes extra hard in demanding health transparency from President Trump's staff and medical team in the hopes we'll all just forget about the fact that so-called journalists spent four years running cover for a feeble old man who had no business
As America approaches its 250th birthday next year, the Trump White House is blending patriotism with a renewed celebration of home and family. The White House on Monday gave its first look at first lady Melania Trump’s decorations, illuminating the theme “Home is Where the Heart Is,” according to Fox News. “The saying ‘Home is Where the Heart is’ resonates deeply with me, especially as I navigate the joys, challenges, and frequent motion that comes with motherhood and business,” Melania Trump said. “The constant movement has taught me that home is not merely a physical space; rather, it is

Portland has sparked outrage after stripping its Christmas tree of its name, referring to it only as “the tree” during its lighting ceremony.
As thousands gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square for the city’s 41st annual tree-lighting on Friday night, leaders and speakers avoided mentioning “Christmas” at any point — including in the ceremony itself and the event’s ads.
The festive occasion was kicked off with a woman from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs thanking everyone in the crowd for coming out on Native American Heritage Day.

Worth Bomb Threat Listed As “White”

Federal race-coding rules are again under scrutiny after an Afghan national accused of making a bomb threat in Fort Worth was classified as “white” in official records under long-standing federal crime reporting standards.
Homeland Security officials say Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, 33, was arrested Tuesday on a state terror charge after allegedly posting a TikTok video in which he claimed he was building a bomb and threatened to target a building in the Fort Worth area.
Alokozay is being held at the Tarrant County Corrections Center on a charge of making a terroristic threat. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer,

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold escalated her standoff with the Trump administration this week, rejecting a request for the state’s full, unredacted voter file. “We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information. The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” Colorado’s refusal comes as the DOJ expands lawsuits into at least 14 states for denying similar requests.
Pastor Announces Transition

A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,

For as little as $1, you can dim the sun — just a tiny bit — to save the world from climate change. At least, that’s the promise sold by a California start-up called Make Sunsets. Your dollar will pay for founder Luke Iseman to drive a Winnebago RV into the hills half an hour outside Saratoga, California, to release a balloon loaded with sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant normally spewed by volcanic eruptions. He and his 1,000 paying customers hope the balloon will burst in the stratosphere, releasing particles that will block sunlight and cool the planet. A better-funded competitor, Stardust, has raised $75 million
Amid reports of a federal crackdown targeting Somali immigrants, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday issued an executive order prohibiting law enforcement from using city-owned parking lots for immigration operations. (snip) “This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis does not authorize this property to be used, and it may not be used, by any federal, state, or local government entity or personnel as a staging area, processing location, operations base, or any other similar use for civil immigration enforcement operations.”

The facts are still emerging through the fog of war (or is it the fog of law enforcement, or the fog of antiterrorism?). Sometimes people (including myself) draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete information, so let’s start with what’s really known.
Our military launched another missile attack on a drug-smuggling fast boat. The boat burst into flames and was dead in the water but did not immediately sink. On-scene surveillance showed that not all of the 11 crew members were killed. One or two men were seen moving in the water.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., as “garbage” and said Somalis should “go back to where they came from,” in disparaging remarks that have been strongly criticized by local leaders in Minnesota. “I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you, OK. Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason," said Trump, who has a history of disparaging African people and migrant communities.
Progressive Jersey City Councilman James Solomon is projected to beat former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) in Jersey City’s mayoral election, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Solomon on Tuesday defeated McGreevey, who resigned from his post as governor in 2004 after revealing that he had an extramarital affair with a man, in an election to succeed current Mayor Steve Fulop (D), who opted to instead run for governor. Fulop lost in the Democratic gubernatorial primary to New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D).
Solomon and McGreevey ran in a crowded race in November that included five others for the mayoral seat.

A stunning new report from the University of California, San Diego, reveals that incoming college students are less prepared for their classes than ever. The steep decline in academic readiness among its first-year students is particularly noticeable in mathematics. The UCSD paper shows that between 2020 and 2025, the number of students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold. Additionally, 70% of these students are below the middle school level.

From the looks of it, this one could have been bad — really bad. Cops stopped a car that was in the park after hours in Wilmington, Delaware, in late November, and when the driver refused to exit the vehicle, officers detained him. What they found next was truly scary:
Police searched the Tacoma and found several items inside, including a loaded handgun, extended magazines, body armor, a laptop and binoculars.[snip]
The man, 25-year-old Luqmaan Khan, turned out to be a University of Delaware student. It gets worse:
A group of HIV-positive men gathered at the U.S.–Mexico border Sunday and staged a coordinated “kiss-in,” aiming to confront what they described as discrimination and hostile immigration policies under President Donald Trump.
The demonstration took place at Friendship Park/Parque de la Amistad between California and Mexico as activists marked the run-up to World AIDS Day, according to The Advocate. MPact Global Action for Gay Men’s Health and Rights officials organized the event. They said they intend to normalize public displays of affection by people living with HIV, push back against stigmas surrounding sex and dating, and highlight concerns that queer migrants face under Trump-era border enforcement.
