Houses of Cards Are Falling in America.

Something is happening.

Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, James Toback, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Anthony Weiner, Eric Bolling, Kevin Spacey, Mark Halperin. If you pay attention to the news or to social media, you know what these names have in common.

Bad boys, bad boys.

Ole Hugh Hefner died just in time. Cause you know he's the guy who taught Cosby about handing out pills to young women. One old celeb to another passing on tips. .They were buddies, hung out together.

Houses of cards are falling to the right and the left. Celebrities - journalists and news readers, actors, directors, famous people of every sort. Celebrities are actually being PUBLICLY HUMILIATED for things they got away with for decades. Careers are being ruined. People are being fired.

Only a year ago, America elected a President who confessed to bad behavior on tape (and it wasn't just the Access Hollywood tape, he had a history of going on the Howard Stern show and bragging about what a randy old sexual predator he was, how he got away with things). Sixteen women accused him of bad behavior. A major American party thought it for a few days and decided it didn't matter enough to do anything about.

But now a year later, it seems America has had enough of it.

It's probably just a transitory shift in the public mood. Probably won't last too long. But there's no organization making this happening. The government isn't. The churches aren't behind it, at least not in any big way. There's isn't any real leadership.

Could the spirit of God be moving in America? Working on consciences. Is there a little turning going on? Enough of a turning that you can see the results in the headlines.

It's definitely a good thing. Something to whisper "Thank you, Lord" about on behalf of the nation.

I understand your position. Trump promised a plan that insured everyone and is cheaper. He lied. He didn't have a plan. Republicans too promised a better plan and lied for seven years.

Your beliefs are not informed. American businesses are forced to pay insane insurance costs because health care is so expensive. Think of it as a tax that no other country has.

This issue is thousands of times bigger than a tiny tax cut.
