Supreme Court knocks down promised health benefits for union retirees.
The Supreme Court cast doubt Monday on the future of old union contracts that had promised lifetime health benefits for retired workers and their families.
(CNSNews.com) - An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement testified Friday during a discussion on immigration detention facilities, hosted by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, that transgender individuals are guaranteed “a right to hormone therapy.”
“With respect to treatment while in detention–the medical care standard–the standards guarantees a right to hormone therapy for individuals who need it for treatment, and even in facilities that are not covered by that standard. Our ICE House Service Corps is very vigilant on that issue to ensuring that individuals receive necessary hormone therapy,” said Kevin Landy, assistant director of the ICE office of detention policy and planning.
According to Commission Chairman Martin Castro, the Department of Homeland Security is the “largest agency that has custody of transgender individuals.”
As CNSNews.com previously reported, the 2011 Operations Manual ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards - ICE’s operations manual for its detention facilities - offers guidelines for transgender illegal immigrants who have been receiving hormone therapy before they are apprehended.
“Transgender detainees who were already receiving hormone therapy when taken into ICE custody shall have continued access,” the report said. “All transgender detainees shall have access to mental health care, and other transgender-related health care and medication based on medical need. Treatment shall follow accepted guidelines regarding medically necessary transition-related care.”
Obama Lectures Staples For Limiting Part Time Hours: ?Shame on Them?
President Obama doesn?t sympathize with companies that are cutting part-time hours to keep workers under the threshold of the 30-hour work week, thanks to Obamacare.
Well, well, well…!
Boehner certainly has earned my “LOLZ” for the month, when he stands before the Press and states:
“…The Democrats need to get off their ass and do something…OTHER THAN TO VOTE NO!..…”
LOLZ…!

Looking at it from the other perspective it is equally pathetic.
All the Dems did was bitch and moan for years that the Reps didn’t go along to get along, and now they are doing the same thing they whined about?
Shocked I tell you, shocked.

Agreed for the most part. every time I hear “bipartisan support” I think: "there is an 80% chance I’m getting fucked in this deal.
Not that I really think much different when I hear “passed along party lines”.
Interesting how Obama will tout his accomplishments, with “a do-nothing Congress and Republican obstruction.” Da fuck ?

Dumbest thing I have read in a long ass time. The state attorney general needs a fucking dose of real world reality… IMO.

Need to know their ages. If he’s been held back 3 times, then maybe. If they are normal junior high age, that is insane.

Listen to them cheer when he talks about bypassing Congress and acting as a dictator:
It’s creepy. It’s like something from the 1930’s.
Politico has a story about Debbie Wasserman Schultz that is/was prepared to spite Obama if she was removed as the DNC chair.
Wasserman Schultz has a different sense of herself. According to people who spoke with her, when she sensed Obama was considering replacing her as chair in 2013, she began to line up supporters to suggest the move was both anti-woman and anti-Semitic.
