Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health and Health Care Kevin Fiscella, MD, MPH University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry Departments of Family Medicine Community & Preventive Medicine
What is race? How we define race strongly affects how we conceptualize the relationships between race and health and health care.
What is race? "A group of people of common ancestry distinguished by physical characteristics such as hair type, eye or skin color, etc." - Collins English dictionary, 1998 Geographic origin of ancestry –1997 OMB standards "Ideology of inequality devised to rationalize European attitudes and treatment of the conquered and enslaved peoples."- American Anthropological Association Statement, 1998
What is ethnicity? Shared cultural, national, religious or linguistic heritage Hispanic or non-Hispanic origin –1997 OMB standards
Racial and ethnic disparities in mortality African Americans have the highest age- adjusted mortality rate of any group, followed by whites, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and Asians, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders. Deaths for American Indians/Alaska Natives and Hispanics tend to be misclassified on death certificates, so vital statistics underestimate mortality rates for these groups.
Disparities in cause-specific mortality Blacks have higher death rates than whites from all the leading causes of death except suicide and chronic lung disease. HIV death rates are 10 times higher and homicide rates are more than 7 times higher among blacks than whites. Hispanics have 3 times higher rates of death from HIV and homicide than whites and higher rates from liver disease and diabetes, but lower rates than whites for all other major causes including heart disease and cancer.
Disparities in cause-specific mortality Asians have lower death rates than whites in all categories except homicide. American Indians/Alaska Natives have higher death rates than whites from liver disease, diabetes, HIV, accidents and homicide, but lower death rates from heart disease and cancer.
Life expectancy for African Americans is nearly six years less than whites Disparities in socioeconomic status explain much of this gap. Disparities in cardiovascular mortality explain nearly one third of the gap. Hypertension represents the single largest contributor to this gap.
Black-white disparities in health begin in utero Black infant mortality rate is two and half times higher than that of whites. Most of this gap is due to racial differences in rates of very low birth weight. The primary causes of very low birth weight are intrauterine infection and hypertensive disorders that result in preterm birth. Sudden infant death is the major cause of racial disparities in post neonatal mortality.
Black-white disparities in maternal mortality African American women die during pregnancy and child birth at five times the rate of whites. The primary causes of this gap is disparities are vascular and infection related complications and homicide.
Fundamental causes of racial disparities in health and well being Poverty Segregation Racism
Poverty More than one out of three black children under the age of 6 lived in poverty in 2000 (twice the rate of whites). Blacks earn on average 62% of that of whites. Among equivalent income or educational levels, blacks have far less wealth than whites.
Segregation African Americans experience greater and more persistent residential segregation than any other group "hypersegregation." – Massey, 1989 Residential segregation and confinement to impoverished central cities has a devastating impact on the economic, educational, psychological, and physical well-being of African Americans. –Williams, 2002 Segregation undermines social cohesion, reinforces individual, institutional, and internatalized racism.
Racism Institutional and individual practices that create and reinforce oppressive systems of race relations whereby people and institutions engaging in discrimination adversely restrict by judgment and action, the lives of whom they discriminate against. -Krieger 2003
Categories of racism Individual racism - Ideology of inherent, biological superiority of one race over another that is used to justify discrimination. Institutional racism - Policies and practices that systematically reinforce the power and privilege of one racial group over another. Internalized racism - Introjection of pejorative messages by stigmatized racial group regarding their capabilities and behavior.
These categories reinforce each other Unconscious racist assumptions (individual racism) result in national, state, and local policies (institutional racism) that reinforce racial stratification. Examples include educational, correctional, and economic policies. Persistent poverty, despair, stigma, and loss of community role models reinforce internalized racism.
Context matters Poverty, segregation, and racism do not operate in isolation from each other. It is the confluence of these factors that undermines the well being of African Americans. Current conditions cannot be understood in the absence of their historical context. The impact of poverty on a black child growing up in the inner-city is qualitatively different than that of a first generation Mexican or Asian child.
Race and genetics Race is a social construct without biological basis; there is far greater genetic diversity within racial categories than between them. Because race is associated with geographic ancestral origin and because differences in geographic origin are associated with genetic allele frequency, allele frequency occasionally differs by race. These differences do not negate the social construction of race. Only a few conditions result from the effects of single alleles. Genetic differences by race are unlikely to explain most disparities in chronic diseases.
Causal pathways across the life course The pathways through which racism, segregation, and poverty affect black well- being are complex. Effects early in life may have lasting effects, e.g. fetal nutrition, lead toxicity, cognitive stimulation. Risk factors among disadvantaged groups tend to cluster and generate downward trajectories. Risk factors tend to have cumulative effects over time.
Specific mediators of disparities Intrauterine environment - Fetal origins of disease hypothesis suggests that low birth weight infants are at higher risk for diabetes, hypertension, obesity, renal disease, and heart disease. Physical environment - Exposure to lead and other toxins, violence, availability of food, alcohol, and illicit drugs. allergens, passive smoke, crowding, infections, and diet. Family environment - Presence of two adult age parents, early cognitive stimulation, absence of abuse, and role models. Social environment - Impact of peers, expectations of future, risk of violence, opportunities for self expression, social network and support, and opportunities for marriage.
Specific mediators of disparities Psychological environment - Psychosocial stress from discrimination, autonomy/control, stigma, and internalized racism. Educational environment - Levels of expectations, concentration of students at risk, and resources. Work environment - Job opportunities, control of work, opportunities for advancement, risk of physical injury. Cultural environment - Norms of health related behavior e.g. breast feeding, infant sleeping position, douching, attitudes towards immunizations and health care. Health care environment – Large disparities documented.
Childhood poverty Educational achievement Family function cognitive and emotional development Access to health care employment Exposure to toxins, allergens, & infections Cognitive stimulation Access to social networks stress Health behavior Intrauterine effects Peer effects Adult poverty Racism segregation Community decline Marriage
Racial and ethnic disparities in health care Disparities differ by type of health care and by racial and ethnic group. Disparities are best documented and most severe for African Americans.
Disparities in types of health care Preventive services Medical treatment Surgical procedures Interpersonal care
Disparities in preventive care Prenatal care (number of visits and quality) Child immunizations Well child visits Adolescent immunizations Pap smear screening Breast cancer screening Colon cancer screening Influenza & Pneumococcal immunization Smoking cessation advice
Disparities in medical treatment Acute & chronic pain Asthma Chemotherapy Congestive heart failure Coronary artery disease Depression Diabetes Dialysis HIV Hypertension Myocardial Infarction Pneumonia Stroke
Disparities in surgical or invasive procedures Organ transplantation Curative cancer surgery Cardiovascular procedures/surgery Cerebrovascular procedures/surgery Hip and knee replacement surgery
Disparities in satisfaction and interpersonal care Health care satisfaction Physician satisfaction Physician trust Involvement in care Perceived discrimination
Causes of disparities in health care Societal factors - Differences in presence and type of health insurance and systems of care. Patient factors - Literacy, knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, language and norms. Physician factors - Unconscious stereotyping, cultural insensitivity, and poor communication skills
Societal factors More than 50% of Hispanics and 40% of African Americans lacked health insurance at some point during 2001. Minorities more likely to be seen by residents. Presence and type of health insurance contribute to, but do not fully explain, disparities in health care.
Patient factors Patients beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, preferences and literacy contribute to disparities. Patient factors do not fully explain disparities. Patient factors are strongly influenced by system and provider factors.
Physician factors Overt prejudice - "I won't recommend bypass surgery because this patient is black." Stereotyping - "I won't recommend kidney transplantation because most blacks do not adhere to treatment." Clinical uncertainty - "I won't recommend angiography because the patient's symptoms are too dramatic (or not dramatic enough) to warrant the risk of this procedure." Poor communication - Absence of patient-centered care and patient-physician partnership.
Patient-centered care Represents a core dimension of health quality as defined by the IOM. Involves a set of core communication skills necessary to insure patient involvement in their care. Skills include obtaining knowledge of the patient as a person, eliciting the patient's perspective on their condition. Explaining treatment options in understandable terms. Eliciting the patients preferences for treatment Confirming the patient's understanding of the specifics of the treatment plan.
Minorities receive less patient- centered care Physicians adopt a more directive style, provide less information, and engage in less partnership with minority patients. The result is lower rates of adherence and lower quality care.
Equity is a core dimension of quality Equity recognized by the Institute of Medicine in 2001. Quality assurance must include measures of disparity. Quality Improvement represents an important means for addressing disparities in care. Recent data suggest that quality improvement reduces disparities.
Implications for addressing disparities in health & health care The Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating disparities in health requires addressing fundamental causes of disparities. Academic-community partnerships represent an important means for addressing fundamental and proximate causes of disparities at the local level. The elimination of disparities in health care will require initiatives leverage existing quality improvements efforts that address physician and patient factors. Quality improvements offer the greatest potential for change when they are strongly tied to the community. Disparities in access including insurance must be addressed

We are so excited to present these new invitations for a fantastic couple. We designed and printed their Save the Dates a few months ago. Building off the theme of a blind deboss (no ink impression), we came up with this elegant design that uses creams and golds to heighten the sophistication of the entire package. We used a double thick Crane paper stock made specifically for letterpress for the invitation; a great choice when you really want a deep impression! The corresponding pieces were printed on a matching Crane cover stock and paired with a subtle gold envelope and band. To tie everything together we choose a beautiful screen printed floral paper as an envelope liner.
This invitation suite also shows off our capabilities for addressing envelopes.

Comedy King Kapil Sharma Show got some competition from Bollywood choreographer-filmmaker-actor Farah Khan, who's known for her sharp wit and stupendous comic timing. Farah recently shot for a fun tonight episode of The Kapil Sharma Show (TKSS) along with tennis sensation Sania Mirza. Sania also entertained us on Comedy Nights With Kapil last year. She impressed viewers with her mimicry and was a lot of fun last time around. Going by the on-set pics of TKSS, she seemed to have loads of fun this time also.
Ace Tennis player Sania Mirza along with her close friend and director Farah Khan were seen spending some fun moments with ace comedian Kapil Sharma on 'The Kapil Sharma Show'. Sania Mirza was looking cute in a pink floral dress. Farah Khan was dressed up in a black attire. Sania has just returned from Rome after winning the doubles if Rome Masters with partner Martina Hingis.
In this same run now another sports star is going to visit and share some laugh gigs with Kapil, she is none another then Tennis sensation Sania Mirza. She will not going to come all alone, the choreographer turned director and now anchor also Farah Khan is also coming on his show.
On the other hand Farah Khan is n the news in some recent time, and these two strong ladies will definitely will not be and easy escape for Kapil Sharma. The episode will be going to be telecast tonight.

The Pontiac Star Chief: Bringing Lucy to California in Style
The Pontiac Star Chief was the luxurious convertible car that appeared in the popular show I Love Lucy during the fourth season, which took place during 1954 and 1955. Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, and Fred drive this classic 1950s car all the way from New York City to Hollywood.

Cruisin' in the Sun Car Show
Cruisin' in the Sun Car Show
Every summer, classic car enthusiasts gather in Fernandez Park in Pinole, California to honor and enjoy the cars of yesteryear at the Cruisin' in the Sun Car Show. The annual event has grown into a major spectacle for the area, attended by hundreds each year. To show a car in the event requires pre-registration.

Visit the Peterson Museum
Peterson Museum: If you are a true classic car fan you want to do more than just talk about old cars– you want to take them on the road and drive them. When you are a collector car enthusiast getting behind the wheel of one of your classics and going on a road trip is a lot of fun, especially when your destination involves indulging your passion in vintage automobiles and trucks.
With the above in mind, if you want to have the automotive experience of a lifetime you should consider making the trek to Los Angeles to visit the Peterson Museum.
1938 Delahaye
Delahaye: As promised, we are featuring the first of several cars which will be making an appearance at this year's Rétromobile, the Paris auto show. In the middle of the Great Depression, not long before the start of WWII, few things stood out in a community as much as a shiny, new, low-riding vehicle that made any classic gangster command the respect they so desired on the streets. One such car was the 1938 Delahaye Type 165.
Mullin Automotive Museum
The next Rétromobile, the car show that takes place each year in Paris, will feature some exciting car models from the Mullin Automotive Museum. The museum, located in Oxnard, California is generously showing the cars to lucky viewers, and many of the cars haven't been shown in France since they were new, some almost a century ago! The 10 cars from the museum are sure to bring child-like glee from viewers of all ages. Among them are some of the most valuable and special cars in the world. Over the next few posts, we will highlight some of our favorites from the collection, so be sure to keep checking back!
1961 Ferrari GT Spyder California SWB
The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California SWB, better known as the Cal Spyder, is a rare beauty that is easy to fall in love with. Motivated by distributors, Jon von Neumann and Luigi Chinetti, this Spyder was the last of the truly, open-aired, dual-purpose Ferraris. It was first shown in Geneva in 1960. Only 55 were built in 1961 (125 total were built from 1958-1963) and many of them were unique in some way due to the fact that the vehicles were built for both the race track and for the road.

It's impossible not to like them eventually, though, as the virtues of solid, muscular playing from the front-line of brass, reeds and violin, and the indefatigable good humour of the presentation combine to make you feel as if you're having fun even when you aren't. Snatches of tango, of Kurt Weill and silent cinema accompaniment came and went, often in the same number, and there was a truly outstanding bass solo, no mean feat in any circumstances. Just before the end of what was a very long show, topping the bill of what added up to 28 hours of the epic Clerical Medical Jazz and New Music Weekend, the trombonist sang a wordless, old- style Eurovision ditty that was both impeccably kitsch and deeply moving.
Jazz Jamaica, who closed the opening evening of the weekend, are similarly impossible to dislike, and a lot easier on the ear. Early ska, rocksteady and reggae tunes are played in jazz arrangements that retain a pounding, bass-heavy beat but still find room for elegant solos.
Though original member Rico Rodriguez has departed, his replacement on trombone, Dennis Rollins, has added a welcome fluidity to the sound, and he soloed beautifully. New tunes point more towards Blue Note bebop, with themes by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter receiving the Caribbean treatment. Sitting and watching Jazz Jamaica, though, is a bit like dancing to Webern, not the best context in which to enjoy the grooves. While people tried to dance, the club-style tables impeded progress and it would have been better to have moved them out. Skanking sitting down is a difficult business.

Their personal pensions may not deliver all that they hoped. Some families are also still being evicted from their homes, because they cannot pay their mortgages.
Despite recent falls in unemployment levels, the fear of redundancy still affects millions. For many people, the problem has not been how to invest their money but having any money at all. Here is a sampling of how the past 12 months have shaped up for a few people:
Steve, seller and columnist of the Big Issue at Moorgate Underground station, London. 'My year has been awful. For the last six months I have been selling the Big Issue to stop me getting hungry. It costs 50p and the seller keeps 30p.
'I did have a job as a civil engineer, but I lost it. Three years ago I was doing deals worth millions, but the contracts just dried up. I couldn't keep up the repayments on my house, and it was repossessed by the building society.
'Next year I would like to get back into civil engineering, and then perhaps write a novel about my experiences on the street.'

Lamb, Master of Trickery (Muah Ha Ha!)
Good morning and happy post-Halloween madness, everyone! I have a little confession to make. You know the post from Friday morning wishing you all a great weekend and starting the blog hop? Totally scheduled! I actually flew into Oakland on Thursday night and spent the last few days enjoying San Francisco. Now I'm back in Albuquerque. And you know what else?
I'm soooo tired! Why do I come back from every vacation feeling like I need a vacation?
In other words, I'll post photos later. For now
it's back to bed
(I wish!) I have to go to work. And then starts my quest for marked down candy and free pumpkins!

Many of us are totally unaware of the deeper fears that are driving us. The amygdala is part of the limbic system of the brain - our oldest brain.
The part that kept us alive through its survival instincts. When we were more primitive beings, this was very handy as we needed to have that fear to escape sabre toothed tigers etc!
Sadly although many of us appear very sophisticated, our primitive parts are still alive and well! And interfering with many of our behaviours each day. Daniel Goleman who wrote Emotional Intelligence talks about the 'amygdala hijack' - where the amygdala take us - in an instant - into a place of terror and sabotages many of our opportunities.
Most anger, frustration, insecurity, shyness, ego, arrogance and just about any other resistance type behaviour stems from fear. Fear of not being good enough, not being lovable, being rejected, being ridiculed, not fitting in, failure, being hurt..the list is endless!
The scale above is a wonderful representation of what happens when we travel from living in a cocoon of fear....through to emerging but still focusing and looking at fear to turning around and facing joy and finally emerging from any remnants of our fear cocoon. This is the journey we hope you will travel with us!
First, work out where you are on that scale! You can't plan a journey if you don't know where you are to start with!
Join our joy tribes community and lets all help each other eradicate the fear and focus on the joy that already exists within us - we just have to look for it and AT it!
Tell us one thing that happened today where fear interfered with your decisions.

Safety of the loads and vacuum lifters
The Vacuum lifter plays a paramount role when it comes to handling slippery, smooth loads from one place to another. Using bare hands or unapproved devices to handle these cartons could result in easy fall and damage of the property. Every lifter is normally designed to handle a specified amount of weight efficiently. Through the use of sanctions pad, the lifter always attaches firmly to the cartons or loads for lifting until they are placed at the required place. A good example that needs the strength of a lifter is the plastic laminate. For careful and safe lifting of the loads, these lifters are always recommended.
Recent features that aid in efficiency of the lifters.
The use of modern technology in construction of a vacuum tube lifter has precipitated safety of both goods and the users. To reduce the manpower, they have automatic operating systems that allow even a single person to operate them. The automatic system makes lifting work not to be laborious and non-accident prone activity. The sacking and splitting mechanism is the latest feature that allows opening and attachment of parts at the same time without compromising on the quality of the pads. It is meant to offer convenience when handling the loads.
Some of the lifters come with overhead handlers that work to open the boxes and loads for direct emptying to the required containers. To handle the load perfectly and maintain it, the pads of the vacuum lifter must be able to maintain the holding pressure. This would allow easy operation of the whole machine.
Raw materials and quality.
Due to the fact that the sack vacuum lifters Australia shops sell handle heavy duty luggage, the materials used in the manufacturing process should be reliable. Stainless steel is one of the best options that would guarantee quality performance and few or less breakdowns.
Should there be a need for customization of the machine, all parts are supposed to obey the required standards for safety and efficiency. Tube lifting technology is widely used in areas where customization is needed to fit certain demands of the client. Creativity and having an innovative mind are highly important to make what exactly the client wants. Some products are very porous and handling them with force could destroy them or interfere negatively with their quality; the tube lifting system should be in a position to ensure that this problem is fully sorted. High suction flow capacity is always the core feature that would make a machine reliable. Check out electric hoist
Perfect finishing and efficiency.
For a vacuum lifter to work efficiently, the design and load that are being lifted should be matching. Every load needs a special design of a machine for it to be lifted efficiently. Automatic operating system should be installed not only to make working simple but also to ensure efficiency and reduction in man power.
In conclusion, rapid relocation of the load depends on the make of the lifter. Professionalism and the skills of physics are highly needed for perfect machines to be made or constructed. Testing of the machine before use does not only assure quality but also safety and efficiency of the machine.

Horseshoe Meadows Road Update
Substantial rain and snow from the atmospheric river events that took place in January and February of 2017 caused significant damage on Horseshoe Meadows Road. In one particular area, weather induced erosion has reduced the road to an unstable and unsafe single-lane.
The Inyo County Road Department has inspected the road damage that can currently be accessed and is in the process of determining the scope of the project, including the time estimate involved in the required road repair. At this time repair work will involve stabilizing the roadbed, stabilizing the shoulder, and preventative measures that would reduce further erosion.
Currently Horseshoe Meadows Road is under normal winter closure; however, it is important that the public is aware that this road is unsafe. As the project progresses more information will be released, including the projected opening of the road.
Thank you for your patience.

The National Agricultural Exhibition Centre in Moscow, known as VDNKh, is a unique heritage of the Soviet era and a magnificent architectural and park complex unparalleled in the world. Built in the late 1930s to showcase the victories of collective farming, it boasts the works of the best artists and sculptors of the time.
Those born with artistic taste and a love of all beauty were doomed if they were born in the Soviet Union. Practicality and uniformity dictated all spheres of life, including fashion. Our heroes begged to differ, becoming the vivid flecks on the Iron Curtain's drab surface.

About "Gulliver's hand-me-downs" by Glennz
Gulliver's hand-me-downs
Design by Glennz
Haha, nicely done. Very clever.
You have a great sense of humor in your designs, and it's what I personally look for when I shop for shirts. I want something that's original and funny and well-executed, and I find your designs meet that stringent criteria :)
The colours are simple and great, and it makes me laugh. I like funny without the need for explanation.
5 + $
I love this so much that I'd buy two so that I could wear one whilst the other is in the wash. I'm not sure what's going on in your head, I have strange ideas, but this is something on the next level - genius!
Plus I can imagine the photos people will submit of them wearing it in their y-fronts.
I would love to see this printed.
Like most of your work, I love this shirt.
glennz or anyone...i am DESPERATE for a 'go japan" in girly medium size. anyone have one to sell? and this design is hilare.
Hahaha, awesome! 5$
I don't want to wear pictures of underwear on my shirt, but I love the subtleness of the shirt. Great job! I hope someone else buys it
Hooray hooray....this is now the 5th tee of yours that i want 5&buy!
I'm dumb too. What's lilliput?
Lilliput is one of the lands that Gulliver visits in the amazing book 'Gulliver's Travels' by Jonathan Swift. The inhabitants of Lilliput are only six inches tall (from Gulliver's perspective), so to them, he is a giant .
I love this t-shirt so much, not only because of the design, but because of the thought that went into the concept.
really funny... ¡una idea brillante!

MOUNTAIN BUNKER, MONTANA - Today marks one-hundred days since Donald J. Trump took the oath of office in Washington, D. C. Here are some of the highlights of the first hundred days of the Trump Era.
Trump renames the White House the Trump House.
Trump declares all networks as "fake news" and only grants access to Breitbart News.
Trump declares Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate was fake, saying, "Kenya believe it that all along
Obama's birth certificate wasn't worth the muslin it was printed on."
Trump changes his catch phrase from "you're fired" to "you're dead."
Trump blames mysterious fire that destroys the US Capitol building on illegal Mexicans, labor unions and Muslims and declares marshal law.
Exxon Mobil gets no bid rights to drill anywhere they hell they please.
Trump's son marries Putin's daughter to "consolidate the empires."
Trump orders the death penalty for anyone who says he is acting like a tyrant.
Trump wins contest with Kim Jung-un as to who has the biggest missile, saying "I've got the biggest one, hands down."
All fast food chains are declared illegal except Hardee's and Carl's Jr.
Trump leads military parade complete with nuclear missiles down Broadway in New York to attend the opening of a reworked play called Trumpleton.
Trump keeps promise to save Social Security from greedy Wall Street, but uses funds instead to build 100 statutes of himself in every state and 50 countries around the world.
Trump orders that Italian trains run on time in honor of his favorite Italian leader.
Trump scraps idea to build a wall between the US and Mexico and builds a wall between the US and Canada saying "we must keep those Canuks from illegally entering the US for our great health care system and our low drug prices and besides since I took over, no Mexicans want to come to the US anymore," however, Trump has no explanation for the hundreds of Americans who are mysteriously found shot dead on the US side of the wall.
Trump suspends the 2020 elections, saying "believe me, they are rigged. You've never seen such rigging since they built clipper ships."

WASHINGTON – (PTSD News Service) - Democratic lawmakers may have to bite the bullet again and accept the fact that congress will not take aim at laws that allow a person on the terrorist no fly list to buy weapons. "Any straight shooter would have to agree that the NRA has been holding a gun to our head for far too long," said Representative John Lewis of Georgia who had led a sit-down to protest the inaction of congress to pass gun safety reform, "because every time we try to pull the trigger for any gun regulation, the NRA sends out it's big guns to fire away at any attempt to help put a silencer on gun violence."
The NRA had successfully countered Democratic attempts at giving a shot to reforming gun laws by sending out it's hired guns to put Democratic lawmakers in their cross-hairs and let their bullets fly to stop any gun legislation. "We can't let some hot shot liberals use the recent shootings in Orlando as ammunition to claim they have the silver bullet to solve violent crime," said Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, "so we are sticking to our guns, keeping our powder dry and staying loaded for bear to show those gun grabbers just how badly they have missed the bullseye."
"Once again, we have dodged a bullet by blowing away the gun haters who are so damn trigger happy when they shoot off their mouths with some rapid-fire shotgun approach that supports some half-cocked laws that would strip Americans of their Second Amendment Rights, lock stock and barrel," said Speaker Paul Ryan, "besides, if America was so gun crazy as these anti-gun nuts think we are, our language would be riddled with gun metaphors, a belief that is clearly off target, misses the mark and shows not only that they were shooting blanks but the caliber of their misfire."

NEW YORK – (PTSD News Service) – Donald Trump said today that he will personally award a college degree from Trump University to anyone who will vote for him in November. "By voting for me, a person will have proven they know everything that a Trump University education can give them, which is knowing that to be successful in life, you have to pledge complete allegiance to me" Trump said.
"What I am offering is certainly better than anything crooked Hillary can offer," he said, "what is Clinton University going to teach you - how to hide emails and force your husband to seek outside bjs?"
Trump said he will also offer voters a free ticket on Trump Airlines, "which never had a plane go down and I'll throw in a Trump steak which never made anyone sick, both things that Hillary can't claim about herself," Trump said.
Trump shrugged off criticism that his offers amount to vote bribery by saying doesn't the GOP stand for Gobs of Payoffs?"

WASHINGTON - (PTSD News Service) - The Republican National Committee held a secret strategy meeting to prepare for the upcoming national presidential election by developing a list of stories they will spread with political ads, on national political TV news shows and through their vast array of conservative radio talk show hosts. "Donald Trump may love the low information voter," said Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman, "but who we love more is the wrong information voter."
The Post Times Sun Dispatch has obtained a copy of the top ten items from the "Phony Facts that will F*ck Hillary" list which are as follows:
She's a man, baby. Hillary is really Hilliard Rodham who changed genders to be able to go in the little girl's room when your helpless little daughter is in there.
2. One of Hillary's deleted emails reveals she personally ordered ISIS to kill all Americans in Benghazi.
3. Hillary has plans to confiscate your bibles and beer and replace both with the Quran.
4. Another deleted Hillary email sent America's secret nuke codes to both Vladimir Putin and the Taliban.
5. Hillary peed on Ronald Reagan's grave, twice.
6. Hillary plans to outlaw NASCAR.
7. Hillary will not only encourage same-sex marriage, she will outlaw heterosexual divorce.
8. Hillary will take your guns and give them to blacks, Muslims, and angry lesbians and especially to black Muslim angry lesbians.
9. Another deleted Hillary's email reveals she ordered the Romans to crucify Jesus.
10. Hillary will ban Viagra.
"Once these facts about Hillary are revealed again and again," Priebus said, "Hillary couldn't beat the love child of Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler if they were running as the Republican Candidate which looks like that may be who she will be running against."

WASHINGTON – (PTSD News Service) - The Republican Party just announced its slogan for the 2016 Presidential Campaign, vowing to "move away from past usage of scare tactics and dog-whistles for bigots and concentrate on the issues that face the typical American citizen," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. With that in mind our new slogan will be, "Don't Let Same-Sex Godless Muslim Illegal Immigrant Inner City Thugs Abort Your Gun Rights In The Wrong Bathroom In Front of Your Kids After They Sole Their Bibles And Replaced Them With Sharia Law.'" Priebus added, "for far too long the Republican Party has prayed on the fear and ignorance of large numbers of the American public by using messages of fear and hatred to gather votes. However, this is the year of addressing real issues and what better candidate to bring across our new message of hope and healing than Donald Trump."
There was a discussion among GOP party leaders to add Communist to the slogan, but the majority felt most people who feared a takeover by the Soviet Union were either dead or couldn't remember their own names anymore, let alone fear that Krushchev was hiding under their bed. In an effort to appeal to young people, the RNC also considered telling them that voting for a Democrat would cause their iPhone or other music device to be confiscated and given to a poor person without a job, but this idea was dropped because so many young people were themselves poor and jobless and might think they would be given a free iPhone if a Democrat was elected.
Former President George H.W. Bush thought the new slogan was too complicated, saying, "why don't we just drag out the old Willie Horton add. That still scares the bejesus out of me."

NEW YORK – (PTSD News Service) – Responding to repeated calls for the press to end its overly liberal bias in their news coverage, major media outlets have promised to reduce stories about Bernie Sanders to make sure the campaign of Donald Trump does not get ignored. "We have been so distracted by meaningless issues such as income inequality and a rigged political and economic system that all we have been talking about 24/7 is Bernie Sanders," said Ken Jautz, Executive Vice President of CNN News. Les Moonves, President of CBS agreed saying, "We've covered pointless stories about the shrinking of the middle class, how no one can afford to put their kids through college, and stagnant wages when the real issue facing Americans every day is which bathroom a transgender should be using."
"The media has ignored the will of the people by hanging on every word of some old bald Jewish guy kvetch about this and that when this is a Christian nation that wants to hear a virile God-fearing man with a full head of hair tell it like it is," said Thomas Calicut of Media Watchers, a group that until now has unsuccessfully lobbied news outlets to stop their media blackout of Trump.
"We have spent so much time showing Bernie Sanders' every move that we lost sight that the DNC has already picked Hillary Clinton as their candidate," said J. Davidson Taylor, Vice President of News at NBC. "We promise to turn our attention to the true blue American success story that is the Trump wave sweeping across the country, and of course, the Hillary email scandal."
"Thanks to us in the liberal press, no one seems to know who the hell Donald Trump is," said Dean Baquet, Executive Editor of the New York Times. "That will change, so by the national election, Trump will get the amount of coverage that will make him happy."
So far, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post and Facebook have all pledged to overcome their liberal bias and give Donald Trump a chance. However, Fox News said they will not be changing their news coverage of Donald Trump as Fox President Roger Ailes said, "because we've gotten coverage of Trump just about right."

LOS ANGELES – (PTSD News Service) – The Post Times Sun Dispatch has obtained the text of a tweet from Caitlyn Jenner that was never sent, when she was still a he, telling a close friend he was terrified of a Trump presidency. The tweet read, "If that pompous orange jerk becomes president, America will surely go down like a sinking ship, and as you know, it's women and children first."
Jenner has denied that she wrote that message or changed her gender to give her preferential treatment in case of a disaster requiring Americans to abandon ship. However, a source close to Jenner said he remembers that Bruce was distraught when he learned Trump might throw his hat in the presidential ring. The reliable source said, "A little after his divorce, Bruce said to me, 'I am crushed by the betrayal of that two-timing media whore because the little bitch is nothing more than a major slut who would do anything for attention and I don't mean my ex-wife Kris, but that blow-hard who lives at the top of Trump Towers.'"
Jenner was not available for comment, but the Post Times Sun Dispatch has learned that she has purchased a life jacket and a house in Toronto.

TRUMP TOWERS – (PTSD News Service) – In an effort to calm fears that he would be trigger happy, Donald Trump told Fox News, "just because I could push the button doesn't mean I would. Of course, if Megyn Kelly hadn't made nice, she would be on my list, along with anyone who doesn't give me the news coverage or respect I deserve."
Trump said he had no plans to bomb North Korea," because Kim Jong whatever his name is I can respect because he has a huge ego, although not as huge as mine. But I can tell you this. I will threaten Putin of the Soviet Union or whatever it is called these days until he pees in his pants just to prove what a mature individual I am."
Trump did not disclose whether he would use nuclear weapons on the states that did not vote for him in the general election, saying, "that's as secret at my tax returns which I will disclose only after Hillary discloses that she is a communist lesbian who personally ordered Islamic terrorists to kill all Americans in Benghazi and personally murdered Vince Foster, JFK and Jesus and sent the hugest top secret American secrets to Putin of the Soviet Union or whatever it is called these days. Only then will I disclose my tax returns."
